Replacement texture for "Warbirds" F-4E_86: After I'd uploaded it, Dave noticed the very tip of the nose and the pitot tube were painted incorrectly. This replacement f-4e_5.bmp will fix that, adding the black at the very tip. Instructions for use (as no readme is included) A screenshot can be seen in this thread: http://combatace.com/topic/62412-phantom-tail-markings/page__view__findpost__p__474058 Unzip to a tempfolder or dessktop or where that's easy to find. Then, simply copy/paste the f-4e_5.bmp into EACH of the 3 skin folders (377,378,379) Allow for the overwrite. that'll fix ya' right up! sorry for the slight incovience! And thanks to Dave's much-sharper-than-mine eyes. Enjoy! wrench kevin stein

F-4E (86) Phantom II Skin Set - 45th TFW "The Warbirds" -- For SF2 (any/all) -- This skin/decal set is designed for use =ONLY= on the TMF F-4E ARN-101, as this is the proper airframe for the time period depicted. You can find/download the aircraft at the following URL: http://combatace.com/files/file/9268-mirage-factory-f-4e-phantom-arn-101-for-sf2 -series/ You MUST install this aircraft first, before applying this skinpak. This is a fictional skin, representing the 45th TFW's 3 squadrons, as seen in the Richard Herman novel "The Warbirds". The novel tells the story of a fictional Persian Gulf war, wherein the 45th are (basically) the only US Air Power ™ in the region. I won't go into the storyline, but since it all revolves around a Phantom unit (the book says it's the last USAF Phantom unit, btw), and EVERYONE love Phantoms ... it's a no brainer, eh? The 3 Squadrons of the Wing are represented. They are: 377th TFS 378th TFS 379th TFS They carry the tail badges as when assigned to RAF Stonewood. After much discussion with the Resident Experts ™, it was decieded that the 45th's deployment to Ras Assanya was just that -a deployment-, and they would still carry the codes from their parent unit or base. Each squdron also has it's own tailfin color flash. A slightly modified Loadout ini is included, with some weapons changes (back to Iron Bombs ™ ). In reality, these late-model aircraft were used more on PGM delivery (ie: laser guided bombs) than 'dumb-bombs'. The Dumb Bombs fit more with the descriptions in the book. As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop). Don't forget to read the "Notes & Other Nonsense" for various and sundry ramblings of a madman, and Full Credits. Good Hunting! Wrench Kevin Stein
