A skin depicting the three U-2E aircraft deployed to Vietnam in early 1964 --
56-6680,56-6703, & 56-6707.
 
The U-2E differed from the Basic A model by modifying it for inflight refueling.
3 aircraft were converted, and 5 J75 powered U-2C models were converted to U-2Fs
by the same modification.
 
These U-2Es were with the 4028th Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron of the
4080th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing.
 
The 4028th SRS flew high-altitude reconnaissance missions, photographing SAM sites
near Hanoi and Haiphong harbor.
 
On February 11th 1966, the 4080th SRW was redesignated the 100th SRW and moved
to Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona. The SRS detachment at Bien Hoa AB, South Vietnam,
was redesignated the 349th SRS.
 
Credit goes to the guest who developed the U-2A.

Here are the missing smoke TGA files for those of you who already downloaded the waterinjection for the BUFF and B-47. Sorry about that!

In addition to the previous modifications, this package includes:
 
 
- Similar upgrades made to the new, rescaled Oct. 08 patch. Revised the decal
positions, lights, bombbay arrangement, and exhaust positions so they line up.
Also added some of the same sounds and effects from the previous upgrade.
 
 
- Added a revised placeholder cockpit for the B-52D and F using the Lex method.
I know it's far from perfect so feel free to tweak to your liking:

- Fixed the default loadout issue with the external MER racks. They should now
appear on all the BUFFS.
 
 
- Revised some of the skins and added decals for the B-52G & H models.
 
 
- Added a new flight model for the G & H based off the stock D model. It seems to
stablize the nose pitching up and down with the flight leveler on. It also gives
it that realistic nose down pitch the BUFF has. If you don't like this version,
one based on the original is also included.
 
Acknowledgements and Thanks to:
 
- TK for the awesome sim.
 
- SEA skins by JSF Aggie
 
- Eightlin for the Landing Lights
 
- Cockpit based on Kesselbrut's excellent Brit bomber cockpit
 
- Wpnssgt for the G/H model
 
- Florian's Western pilot
 
- And if I've forgotten anyone by accident please let me know so I can amend this.

A whole pack of loadout images for the Vietnam era. Tried to make them a consistent quality which blends in with the paper background.

This is a minor tweak I made to Fubar512's excellent illuminated tracer effect.
You can download it here:
 
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6876
 
Simply add this tga file (along with the "illuminated tracer file") to the EFFECTS
folder.
 
The result should give the smoke rings a smoother, rounder appearance vs. the
blocky appearance without it.
 
If you don't like it simply delete it.

- New exhaust emmitters and a water injection feature for the B-52s and B-47.
The power settings on the engines have been adjusted to reflect the extra thrust
gained from employing it.
 
- New sounds, featuring an actual B-52 taking off with water injection.
 
- New lights and "Pride of the Adirondacks" decals for B-47
 
- New lights code that can be added for the B-52G.
 
- B-52s spaced out on the taxiways so they're not hanging over one another.

This is a new version of the B-52D. It reflects the modifications made to it during Vietnam. Most notably the 'Big Belly' with provisions for up to 108 bombs - or 60,000 lbs. worth!!!
 
The ECM was also updated around this period. The 'Big Belly' was unique to only the -D model. Enjoy!

Included is:
 
- An updated version of the B-52D "Big Belly"
 
- the B-52F, the last of the "Tall Tail" BUFFs
