SF2 T-34B Mentor (USN) Upgrade Pack by RussoUK/Wrench 1.0.0

SF2 T-34B Mentor (USN) Upgrade Pack by RussoUK/Wrench       1/12/2023

-For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged plus Expansion 1 Recommended)

Modifications to RussoUK's fun little T-34B Mentor (USN) make some major and minor adjustments in skins, decals, data ini and other misc stuff. This is the full aircraft, with all the bits as issued by Russ in the original release. Just in case you don't have said original release, you won't have to go scrambling around trying to find the "weapons" (ok, drop tank) pilots and sounds. Also, because I was/am too lazy to pick out and remove stuff. Easier this way :)

All new historically correct decals have been created. It should be stated that the serial numbers (BuNums) and Modex numbers, while historically correct, are generic in nature representing no particular base unit or squadron. The SF2 Date SWtich (tm) is active, and will cause the skins to change on particular dates.
The skins are:

Navy1 -- VT-1 "Eaglets"(>1965) Aircraft is painted in standard "Trainer Yellow"
Navy2 -- VT-1 "Eaglets" (<1965). Aircraft is painted white/orange ID panels

the < and > indicate "before 1965" and "after 1965". As you can see, they represent Mentors from VT-1 "Eaglets" based at NAS Saufley Field, Florida.

Most markings are decals; exceptions would be wing insignia/nation names on fuselage and/or wings. Other markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. There are 18 serial/BuNum numbers for each aircraft; both skins share the same 'pool' of decals. The aircraft keeps all it's original designations, so will appear the same in-game as the original download. When in game, on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown menu, you'll see:

Beech T-34B Mentor USN (R)

Hopefully, this will differentiate it from any other T-34B Mentors that may (or may not) be available. The "R" stands for RussoUK, the model maker.

As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions.

Happy Landings!
