TA-4J Skyhawk UpdatePack for SF2

TA-4J Skyhawk Update v2.0
=========================

Update 2.0
==========

*** SF2V required for the A-4F Cockpit, that is used here. Tested in full 5-merged installation ***

This is a complete rework of v1.0.

Things changed or added over the previous version:
- 3 Skins in higher resolution (4096x4096)
- added new Pylon/Missilerail models, aswell as some new details added via ini-edit and fakepilot
- added new droptanks (2 types of 150gal., 2 types of 300gal. and a 400gal. Tank)
- changed cockpit to a modified A-4F-cockpit
- added skids for bellylandings

Skins:
VT-7 Eagles, 1988 to 1999, NAS Meridian, Mississippi, 31 planes
VT-21 Fighting Red Hawks, 1974 to 1980, NAS Kingsville, Texas, 31 planes
VT-86 Sabrehawks, 1983 to 1989, NAS Pensacola, Florida, 11 planes

Installation

============
I recommend, you delete the files from the old version 1.0 before you install the new version. The files are at the folders below:
- Objects\Aircraft\TA-4J
- Objects\Decals\TA-4J
- Objects\Weapons\Tank300_TA-4J_VT21f
- Objects\Weapons\Tank300_TA-4J_VT21w

1. unzip to a temporary folder
2. open "Put_content_in_your_MOD folder" and do as you were told, if asked to overwrite, say 'yes'
3. enjoy!

If the Squadron is missing in the loadout screen, you should add the following lines in the squadronlist.ini ("<mod>\pilotdata"-folder) with XXX changed to the next free number:

[SquadronXXX]
Name=VT7
DisplayName=VT-7 'Eagles'
Nation=USN

[SquadronXXX]
Name=VT21
DisplayName=VT-21 'Fighting Red Hawks'
Nation=USN

[SquadronXXX]
Name=VT86
DisplayName=VT-86 'Sabrehawks'
Nation=USN
