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. ************************************************************* This is freeware; it CANNOT be distributed unless permissions are granted by myself.

EmlD Nieuport 24E (trainer) "Issoudun Nieuport series" for First Eagles 2 This is a full aircraft type, trying to represent the trainer Nieuports used by United States at Issoudun. "Issoudun Nieuport series" a set of several Nieuports used by the United States to train pilots during WW1 in France at Issoudun airdrome. Many of these Nieuports had very atypical painting schemes, between them, two with fish scales were "The Jazbo" And the "Flying Fish" (also called the "Dragon ship" or "Gwynne's Goldfish") and several others. Also these were considered "special ships" and representative of their unit. Often they were just for formation flying. Each crew tried to keep these bird primed for inspection. At Field eight there were multiple single coloured Nieuport 24 types used as aggressors for camera armed dogfights so a student could prove he had gotten his opponent. I gathered most of them in this series of skins. This first pack features EmlD Nieuports 24 that I renamed Nieuport 24E (trainer). You will find several versions for some of the planes with different colors at your choice. ** What you will find in this Nieuport 24 Pack: - Eight (8) Nieuport 24 Skins in several versions & Colors options.
