About This File

These skins represent the F-14 squadron VF-33 for years 1982, 1983, 1984 and 1992.

 

IT COMPLETELY REPLACE THE V1.0 PACKAGE RELEASED BY ME. SO IF YOU DOWNLOADED IT, REVOME THE FOLDERS IN THE AIRCRAFT AND DECALS DIRECTORY.

 

What's new in V2.0 :

 

1982 CAG and CO aircrafts
1982 ''Line'' aircrafts

 

1992 CAG and CO aircrafts
1992 ''Line'' aircrafts

 


+ Tweaks in the decals as i made an error in the numbering sequence.

 


Same instructions as usual:

 

Copy the F-14A_82 aircraft folder content to your game F-14A_82 aircraft folder.
Copy the F-14A_82 decals folder content to your game F-14A decals folder.

 

Open the Textureset.ini and edit the file by adding the texture.ini lines.

Same applies to the 1982 skin.

 

I only made the CAG birds for the 1982 and 1992 skins as i felt a little lazy :)

 

I may planned to do the line birds for these years and made the changes applicables to the CAG birds (numbers).

Thank you so much Man, I've always loved this squadron.

Can You make the skins of VF-31 Tomcatters and VF-21 ?

Okay, i put the lazyness aside and made the line bird skins for 1982 and 1992 :)

 

I saw also that i made a sequence error in the TailNum decals so i already corrected.

 

Will test back everything tonight when i'll be bck home and upload version 2.0 if everything is fine.

 

As for the VF-31 (see Swordsman422 skins) and VF-21(already exist but can't remember if it's in the Superpack or if it's Swordsman422 who did it) and don't plan to do them for the previous reasons wrote.

 

BUT i will now work on some ''What-If'' skins and work should be straight forward as i have the template done and all necessary decals already.

Thanks for the upcoming version 2.0

 

I request some early hi-viz skins if you bother making some, it would be great (not something specific, whatever you like)

Version 2.0 done and uploaded.

 

New skin made for the '82 line bird

 

Fanatic Modder : Hi-Viz for which plane?

Thanks Frenchie!!

 

We do not have proper hi-rez skins for following five squadrons VF-41, -51, -101, -142, -143.

 

So, whatever you like.

Will check what can be done for these squadrons. As i already have the templates, only have to do the decals but still load of work ahead.

 

But as i said, ''What-if'' skins on the work board and i already completed one (still 9 to go), as i'm doing Hi-Viz and Low-Viz versions.

I forgot to mention VF-2.

 

Some of these skins have correct decals but dark gull grey and not the correct colors.

I did a check and VF-111 of 1979 is also wrong.

 

Another squadron that is totally missing is VF-124.

Good update. I've been mainly focused on post-Desert Storm  and Bombcat stuff, so it's nice to see someone taking my decal template and hitting the periods before that. Thanks for sharing this. I look forward to more and if you need any help, just let me know.

I already finished the ''What-If'' skins along with needed decals. Will test tonight and see if everything is fine then upload them (6 skins in all).

 

As for the VF-2, VF-41, VF-51, VF-101, VF-111, VF-124, VF-142 and VF-143, i might take a look at them in the next days/weeks and do some. Will have to convert my full light gray to light grey/white scheme (which is not a big deal) along with the decals (Swordsman made some great one's and there is some in the Superpack as reference so shall be pretty straightforward). 

 

I took not of your help offer Swordsman and in case of need i'll buzz you off!

Fanatic,

 

We have VF-2 in its inaugural gloss gull grey scheme, correct colors as well as bureau numbers from 1974 and VF-41's from 1977 already in the Super Pack and in the Gulls Skin Pack.  File folder is VF2Inaug and VF41Inaug, skin names are: VF-2 "Bounty Hunters" Inaugural and VF-41 "Black Aces" Inaugural.  The drab colors are the VF2EN74 and VF41AJ76 folders.  We are missing VF-124, -142, and -143, in high-viz inaugural colors, however.

 

That said, if you'd like to do your own VF-2 and -41, 1977Frenchie, go for it!  Love the Turkey skins!
