Gull Grey A-6 Intruder Skin for Third-Wire model V1.1
Update by Gerwin 6-4-2008..2-5-2008
DESCRIPTION:
I noticed the Navy Aircraft skins in WOV have been skinned
quite consistend in color and style
...except for the A-6A that is.
This skin seems to be a more blue-ish grey and the weathering
is rather thick and black.
I tried to overhaul the original existing skin to better fit
between the other aircraft:
The Base colors are now exactly the same as the F-8 and A-7.
The weathering was toned down and various details have been
adjusted. Also I replaced the style of the nose cone and the
fuselage air-brakes. On itself the white and yellow nose cones
and the white/grey airbrakes represent real-life appearance,
yet I do not know in which squadrons and in what
combination they actually appeared.
This skin does not include custom decals.
UPDATE:
In version 1.1 I weathered the skin in a way that is
consistent with the other navy aircraft. The insides of the
jet intakes have been recolored. The grey/white transitions have
been slightly relocated. The white bottom is lighter now.
The red color under the flaps does not shine trough so much now.
INSTALLATION:
Copy the included folder with contents to the folder that contains
the A-6 files, for example:
WOV\Objects\Aircraft\A-6A
When in the game select the skin in the loadout screen.
If you prefer the white nose cone you have to rename:
A-6_Texture5.bmp to A-6_Texture5_yellownose.bmp
A-6_Texture5_whitenose.bmp to A-6_Texture5.bmp
