444 "Cobra" Sqn for the Canadair Sabre Mk. 6 Version 2


444 "Cobra" Squadron Skin for the Canadair Sabre Mk. 6 Version 2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is a second version of the same skin. After uploading it the first time, I noticed some inaccuracies. Although this version isn't exact either, I think it is a much better representation of the aircraft.

 

History:

~~~~~~~~

 

Formed at St. Hubert on 1 March 1953, No. 444 Squadron bore the first new number (i.e. which had no war-time predecessor) in the post-war R.C.A.F. Six months later the squadron flew its Sabres overseas on "Leapfrog 4". The squadron joined No. 4 (Fighter) Wing at Baden-Soellingen, Germany in September. Selected as one of eight squadrons of the Air Division to be re-equipped with CF-104 Starfighter aircraft for a nuclear strike role,

 

Installation:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You must first have the sabres_v21.zip in order to install these skins. You can download it at:

 

http://www.zur-tech.com/sabres4.htm

 

Unzip the 444.zip to your Objects/Aircraft/Canadair folder. Launch the game and choose "444 Cobra" in the Paint scheme section. Go fly!

 

Note: the Canadair Sabre 6 already comes with a 444 squadron paint scheme by default. You can choose which one you like best.

 

*These textures are 1024 x 1024. You may want to resize them to 512 x 512 to improve frame rates, especially on older computers.

 

**I have also included the fuel tank skin but at this time I do not know how to add it as a seperate tank. Maybe it will be included in a future weapons pack one day. If you want to use the one I have provided, backup your original Tank_f86.bmp in your / Objects / Weapons folder.( You will need the latest weapons pack) Otherwise you will have a silver tank.

 

 

 

Credits:

~~~~~~~~

I would like to thank Sagaunay for some reference material and beta testing as well as Zurawski & the rest of the sabre team for producing such a classic aircraft for all of us to enjoy.

 

Have fun!
