SF2 EF-10B_CAF UpdatePack v1.0
==============================
*** Tested in full 5-merged installation ***
This is an Update for:
SF2 F3D-2/EF-10B Skyknight by Coyote Aerospace 1.0.0
and you will need to download and install it first.
The UpdatePack includes 2 parts:
1. Skins-only
-------------
4 new skins in 4k (resize to your liking if needed) for the EF-10B-variant that comes with the original-mod by CAF:
VMCJ-1 Golden Hawks, Da Nang AB, ca. 1966 (6 planes*)
VMCJ-1 Golden Hawks, Da Nang AB, 1969 (6 planes*)
VMCJ-2 Playboys, MCAS CHerry Point, 1959 (6 planes)
VMCJ-3, MCAS El Toro, ca. 1957 (9 planes)
* VMCJ-squadrons were composite-squadrons, that means, that they used a mix of different planes.
Usually these were RF-8 Crusaders, RF-4B Phantoms and later EA-6A Electric Intruders.
So VMCJ-1, when based in Da Nang AB, had only 6 EF-10Bs.
BuNos are correct for the planes and squadrons and mostly for the given timeframe.
2. Optional Files
-----------------
My take on a rework of the EF-10B-variant, that comes with the original-mod by CAF. The mapping of the model was challenging, so some areas on the skins are as is. I also did some new 3D-parts to add more details and get rid of mapping issues (new pylons, new droptanks, some antennas).
By default the Antenna-set for the standard-EF-10B, called "Whale", is selected. By 1967 some planes where upgraded to the "Super Whale"-variant
by adding different antennas and upgrading some electronics. You can select the version you like in the loadout-menu.
Unpacking and installation:
