Hunter FGA.9 - No.8 squadron RAF

Hunter FGA.9 - No.8 squadron RAF


Hawker Hunter FGA.9, No.8 Squadron, Royal Air Force for STRIKE FIGHTERS 1

This is a quick decal conversion of the sublime Third Wire Hunter FGA.9 to enable you to fly a No.8 squadron machine.

This will only work in Wings Over Europe but you can, of course, also make it work in the other Third Wire 'Series One' games by extracting and exporting all of the relevant files. Since originally releasing this I've added Syrinx's fuselage serial numbers for the Hunter and included a nice loading screen and tweaked the hangar screen to give it 1960's three colour roundels.


INSTRUCTIONS

1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9 folder into your Aircraft folder.

2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9 into your Decals folder.


CREDITS

Thanks to TK for a great little game/sim.

Thanks to former member Syrinx for making the fuselage serial numbers.

And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Regards

Spinners

No problem at all. I've also included a normal 'square cut' squadron band (decal name 8Bars) which you can use on this or a No.8 squadron 'what-if' (a BAC Lightning, perhaps, or a Eurofighter Typhoon?!).

I'll see if I can track down then make the correct serials for 8 sqn Hunter FGA9's.

 

Don't hold your breath though. :rolleyes:

 

Great work Spinners. I'm totally impressed.

 

Thankyou.

      McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.3 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
      This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire Phantom F-4E (early - short cannon muzzle fairing)  to create a fictional Phantom FGR.3 in service with the Royal Air Force in the 1969-1972 timeline with markings for No.6 and No.112 squadrons of RAF Middle East Command as they might have appeared during this period when deployed to Dhimar. Both squadrons have an association with the Middle East and Desert areas with No.6 Squadron being 'The Flying Tin Openers' whilst No.112 Squadron were famous for being the RAF's 'sharkmouth' squadron.  

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the PhantomFGR3 folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the PhantomFGR3 folder into your Decals folder.
      That's it!

      CREDITS
      As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
      Special thanks to sundowner for the F-4E templates.
      And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
