About This File
To be used on SF2 Mi-8T by Lazarus1177 available here : https://combatace.com/files/file/13193-pakistan-army-mi-8-pack/
These skins represent the schemes used by the RCAF on their Mi-17V-5 (Mi-8M) and bearing CF designation CH-178 in Afghanistant in 2010-2011.
The serial numbers in this skin pack along with planes numbers are real one's.
Some details will be different then real life RCAF Mi-17 as they are model related (no Mi-17 in the model list available).
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND :
Canada, as various NATO countries, leased civilian Mi-8/Mi-17 in the past for transport in Afghanistan. However in 2010, four Mi-17V5 known as CH-178 were operated by Canadian personnel and carrying Canadian markings. When the mission was over they were put in storage.
Installation:
Copy the RCAF FOLDER of the current pack objects/aircraft folder in your game Mi-8T aircraft folder.
Copy the FOLDER of the current pack objects/decals folder in your game decals folder.
Open the Textureset.ini and edit the file by adding the texture.ini lines to the Mi-8T.ini.
Open the Userlist.ini and edit the lines for Canada service years.
All decals are made by me. I completely redraw the panel lines and rivets.
Serials are real one's.
