VNAF A-1 Skyraiders

Also known as "The Crazy Water Buffalo"

Hi Rez skins 

To be used on the stock 3W SF2 A-1H Skyraiders

 

My next set and final set for the A-1H/J Skyraiders, is the one I  just KNOW you have been waiting for in breathles anticipation !! Oh you giddy young things !! Yes these are the VNAF versions of the Skyraider. 

The contents are as follows :-

83 SOG 

514 FS

516 FS

518 FS

The 514 skins are just a rework of KULBIT80's skin and decal set, I have just updated the skins , the other 3 Squadrons are all new decal sets, and reworked skins, 514's skins are overall grey, 516 & 518 are pretty much standard USAF 3 tone over grey schemes with the usual over the top Vietnamese markings, SOOOOO TACTICAL !! The lack of tail markings on the 516th airframes is correct they just didnt 'ave 'em so there !! I have done the 518th skins as slightly earlier ones so I could do the snazzy white super tactical and camo friendly cowling bands, I have put anti glare panels on these skins even though in reality they didnt have them, but I thought the looked a bit odd like that so anti glare are us deal with it !! harharharhar finally the 83 SOG scheme.....I mean WOW...Really !! hyper tactical or what !! they do look we snazzy though eh chaps !! these aircraft carried no national markings except for the fin flashes, I know the reasons elude me too . 

Anyhow as with the previous skins I have done everything is all inclusive AT NO EXTRA CHARGE mind you !! 

All the usual shout outs to all and sundry, youre all groovy froods and you rock !!

 

Now what are you waiting for, get into your Spad and go kick some Commie bottom !!! and of course, as always ENJOY !!!

Hi,

I may be being a little dumb but please can someone explain how to install these skins with the Vietnam Air and Ground Expansion? Do I just install over the current A-1H and A-1J or do I need to delete those first? Do I install them on the 67 versions also? In the meantime, thank you for your work on these skins.

What does it say in the readme text, that should be included inside the zip file??

the distinction of the 67 version etc. is not an issue , there is to the best of my knowledge zero difference between an A-1H and and A-1H  67 why TK did this I fail to really understand , anyhow . So to install just drop the whole file  into your saved game file , so sounds go in the sound file, and objects go in the objects file , you will then need to copy the pertinent files from the existing A-1H ( the one already in your save game ie the one that is vanilla with the game ) so the Cockpit.ini, the  Avionics.ini loadout, userlist , and the all important A-1H. ini, which you will need to rename to A-1H VNAF.ini  this will then allow your new Spad to be flown as a VNAF spad , and will show on your aircraft selection screen as A-1H VNAF so you end up with a similar file structure to this :- 

 

rename the first .INI in the above list to to A-1H VNAF.INI

 

[AircraftData]
AircraftFullName=A-1H Skyraider   <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< CHANGE THIS TO A-1H (VNAF) Skyraider  
AircraftShortName=A-1H
AvionicsDataFilename=A-1H_AVIONICS.INI
CockpitDataFile=A-1H_COCKPIT.INI
AircraftDataFile=A-1H_DATA.INI
LoadoutFile=A-1H_LOADOUT.INI
UserList=A-1H_USERLIST.INI
HangarScreen=A-1H_HANGAR.JPG
LoadingScreen=A-1H_LOADING.JPG
LoadoutImage=A-1H_LOADOUT.JPG
AvionicsDLL=Avionics60.dll

Following this procedure you will end up with another A-1H which is purely Vietnamese Air Force , I hope this explains what to do , sorry I am totally crap at explaining stuff , if you are still stuck message me and I will walk you through how to get it up and running .

That's much clearer. Really appreciate your help. Thank you again

the difference is just in the data.ini - H_67 and J_67 have countermeasures, whereas H and J don't.

Yeah I suppose, I personally dont bother with it, as not all aircraft were fitted with them, and some were , I thought it was more to do with the squadrons in theatre so to give correct squadrons for the year in question.....like I said I dont bother with the vanilla/67 versions
