A-7 Corsair II 1970-1982 skin pack.

---

Simple skin pack with a few sets of skins for Navy versions of A-7 Corsair II - A/B/C/E and E_74.

Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) 

It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.

To run this mod you need also access to TW lod files from SF2 Series.

 *.ini files for loadout, avionics, cockpit, or aircraft data - not included.

Skins cover the years 1970-1982 for the Atlantic and Pacific Fleet.  The pack did not cover Vietnam War CVW deployments.

Pack contains skins and decals. I have included also decals from the upcoming pack for low-viz SLUF. This way it is simpler for me, all decals are in one place, save time, and will not harm anything. 

Skins sets are made in pairs - two squadrons for CVW for a specific year. 

I could not find all proper BuNo / Modex but I am considering this as ongoing work in progress, so one day if I will learn something new there will be an update. Also, not all squadrons have CAG markings, sometimes i could not find info on markings...so I left it, again there might be an update if new info appears.

I believe that pack after unp[backing is around 2GB. So make some space for SLUF.

 

All skins, new bump maps, specular and decals are made by me. 

Decals are made by me...but I think I have used one or two decals from MAKOTO pack (VA-192?)

 

report bugs.

enjoy. 

Jarek Hereda.

 

P.S.

This is huge, a lot of copy-paste for me, all decals.ini, textur.ini, etc...So if you will find that one decal is not showing up or something...just check first - maybe there is some bug in *.ini file. Fix, post solution, etc... So others can benefit from your fix. 

I put a lot of effort and time, checked everything twice..still gremlins can appear.

Hello Jarek,

Fan...tastic colored pack ! 

I've a  question about the seat and the gun sight : is it the same model included in your second skin package ?

Many thanks !!!

In the second package, I have made mistake and added the wrong seat! Sorry. But it is added to upload as a separate file  -  Seat_SJU-8. This is a seat with a modern E model HUD. This is made for grey SLUF, as I said In 83 SLUF received upgrades..including seat SJU. Instead of old IC2. But in the whole package, there is the wrong seat...Not sure now which one is that I made two for my mods Seat_IC2_AB or Seat_IC2_CDE

First is just gunsight for A and B model (one on your caption above)

and IC2_CDE  which is only modern hud to use with old seat - escapac or whatever is there in the stock game. 

I have a personal mod for A B C E. Added new seats  (new drivers in work)  those fake pilot gunsights/hud... Shrike/HARM rails, ters, mers mod. But I need to reach 1000000 likes and wait two weeks...to upload 

be patient.
