Simple skin and decal pack for C-123 by Dels
This mod offers my personal approach to the Provider role in the Vietnam War. It is not intended to replace or compete with previous packs. I recommend testing it before removing any older mods, as you may prefer one over the other.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.)
Install:
Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination.
Mod represents units that were involved in combat in Vietnam.
The pack contains three aircraft. C-123B, C-123K, and NC/AC-123K.
New skins with adjusted colors for SEA scheme to match most of the common mods and my 'Vietnam era mods'. Cleaned data, disabled extra fuel tanks. Fixed collision points and hitboxes to my liking. New decals for specific years. edited some pit lines.
There is a small data edit. Jet engines work differently from all previous packs. Assisting engines engage during takeoff only. Enables above 90% throttle.
C-123B
Early USAF Mule Train with more or less historic serials. Removed external fuel tanks. Some say it should bear S.Vietnam roundels...while photos from the era show differently.
skins have to be BMP in order to work from the main aircraft folder.
Air America is set for the 62-66 period.
C-123K
Air America.
South Vietnam Air Force - 423rd Transport Sq. - starting from 1971, with all known and confirmed serial numbers/codes.
USAF - 315 Special Operations Wing with all confirmed serial numbers/codes of squadrons that were part of the Wing - (19th, 309th, 310th, 311th ACS/SOS)
Now K has optional external 450 gal Fuel tanks... (B model could carry those tanks also but I found minimal evidence of usage in Vietnam)
Removed main gear covers, common in USAF service, to avoid building up mud inside gear bays. I did not observe this in AirAmerica birds, and just with a few SVNAF airframes.
NC/AC-123K.
New skin set for 16th SOS. My approach to camouflage based on available info and photos.
Model by Dels,
Skins, decals, and some edits, yours truly.
Cockpit is some walkaround to fit the S-2 cockpit from Kesselbrut
Have fun.
