F-8E Crusader - Royal Canadian Navy

This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-8E to create a fictional export version in service with the Royal Canadian Navy.

 

INSTRUCTIONS

 

1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-8E_RCN folder into your main Aircraft folder.

 

2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-8E_RCN folder into your main Decals folder.

 

That's it!

A great one, so was also the A-4 and A-7 made recently. But unlike the A-4 that could have fit the Carriers the RCN had in the sixties, the F-8 could not have fit in my opinion :) But like you did on your screenies, the RCN opted for a new carrier :)

 

Would be fun to have had those. 

 

Do you know if someone is planning to model the CF-100 (could be a great add-on for the European theater as the RCAF deployed them in Europe and the Belgian had some... 

 

Once again, your skins are great Spinners! Maybe in the future those could be skinned like the RCAF scheme of the time (white under, grey above separated by the red/white line) or even the 2 grey tone (light grey under, dark grey above).

      View File F-8K & F-8L Crusader (TW DLC)
      Third Wire F-8K & F-8L Crusader 1.0

      This pack is a TW DLC enhancement. So it's needed to work.
      Included is the F-8K with data/ avionic/ effect/ sound corrections for accuracy, as well as modification of the Third Wire DLC F-8K Crusader model into the F-8L model Crusader.

      F-8K
      -    The F-8K is the F-8C airframes rebuilt to extend their service life starting in 1969. It is updated with the same underwing pylons as F-8E, but it did not receive any engine or avionics updates. The F-8K was used mainly by the Marines squadrons in the States and did not see any combat.
      F-8L
      -    The F-8L is the F-8B airframes rebuilt to extend their service life starting in 1969. It is updated with the same wing as the F-8H as well as the landing gear from the F-8D/ E, but it did not receive any engine or avionics updates. The F-8L was used mainly by the Reserve squadrons in the States and did not see any combat.

      To install:
      1, Unpack and drop into your main mods folder.
      2, Override when prompted.

      Credits:
      -     F-8 DATA & LOADOUT v1.0 update  by FANATIC MODDER.
      -     SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion v.2.0 Gold  by Eburger68 and team.
      -    Weapons by Ravenclaw_007.

      CombatAce fair use agreement applies.

      Enjoy,
      Dan.

      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.

      INSTRUCTIONS
