Scooters! Vol.3 Skinpack for Thirdwire A-4 Skyhawks by Nyghtfall v1.0
=======================================================
*** SF2, SF2V required. Tested in full 5-merged installation ***
*** DLC 019 A-4L for 1 Skin ***
For this pack I used a somewhat different approach. While playing campaigns, your plane gets upgraded from time to time or the plane changes to a new variant. So I did skins for the upgradepath of some squadrons, that flew in Rolling Thunder Campaign in addition to the ones I already did for the following: VA-153 Blue Tail Flies (2 more in Redux), VA-155 Silver Foxes (completly new) and VA-192 Golden Dragons (2 more in Redux). VA-56 Champions is completely new and included upon special request. And last but not least I did 2 special skins for VMA-142 just for fun and these are included too.
This pack contains new skins
- VA-56 Champions, USS Ticonderoga, 9/1965 to 5/1966 for A-4E_65
- VA-56 Champions, USS Enterprise, 11/1966 to 7/1967 for A-4C_65
- VA-56 Champions, USS Enterprise, 1/1968 to 6/1968 for A-4E_65
- VA-153 Blue Tail Flies, USS Coral Sea, 7/1967 to 4/1968 for A-4E_65
- VA-155 Silver Foxes, USS Coral Sea, 12/1964 to 11/1965 for A-4E and A-4E_65
