I like rocks. on another note, here's a little 'glitch' I found with some of the aircraft shelters. My suggestion is to either move the shelters onto the existing concrete, or maybe add another slab or 2 under the shelters. They'd never be sitting in the rough as it were. Thanks!

"We've been trying to reach you about your vehicle's extended warranty" (sorry! I just coundn't resist!!!)

That took a lot longer than I thought it would ... YAP RW's A-1E got the pylons all straightened out, adjusted weapon positions, attached lights to wings, etc. There are/were a LOT of mistakes in the data ini, especially when mesh names are needed. (also noticed they cheated, and re-used the A-26 cockpit for this one! Which, when you think about it, was pretty damn clever!)

English is the main language we use here on the main Forums, if you please. If you want to NOT use English, we do have the Spanish Language Forums down below. thank you

If you don't have that mod, not to worry, everything -and MORE- is included in THIS one!!! ** This is a major overhaul of the stock 3rd Wire 1stGen O-1E Bird Dog with a new, functioning cockpit, all NEW skins from Brand New Home Grown Templates (tm), which are included within the main aircraft folder. All new semi-historically accurate serial numbers (meaning: generic in nature, representing no particular unit, but mostly correct for the time frames for each skins operational years and country assigned). All skins are now in jpg format, at 1024x1024. When discoverable, the read me for the original 1stGen skin is included with that skin folder. The skins included herein represent --- Canada: CDN Army (CO-119) <54 Pakistan: Pak Army Green <72 US Army: US Army Aviation L-19/O-1A <1949 (USArmy1 folder) 73rd Aviation Co "Warriors" (USA) <63 (USArmy2 folder) USAF: 20th TASS <61 VNAF: 112th Liaison Sqdn <1962 (OD w/LtGrey upper wings) 112th Liaison Sqdn <1970 (overall LtGrey) Decal randomization is TRUE for all. Skins have either 16, 20, 24 or 26 serial number decals, depending on Air Force and time frame used. The SF2 Date Switch is active for the 2 US Army & VNAF skins. As you can see above, the year tagged is their start date. Skins are now in the (mostly) correct colors as seen in Real Life (tm). The aircraft uses stock HVARs, but for fun I've included the M-60 underwing machine gun. So you can shoot stuff up. A new User list.ini is supplied, with most of the Dog's users. New pilot figures are used, too! Be advised, the US Army Aviation units depicted here are still tagged with "USAF" as their Nation of Origin. See "Notes" for adding US Army to you Nations.ini, if you aren't using DaddyAirplanes expanded one. You'll have to extract the Nations.ini, if you haven't already, and place it in you /Flight folder. You'll also have to edit the TextureSet ini for those skins, in either case. Again, instructions are below. You'll also be adding a new engine sound, and this will need to be added to the Sound list ini, so have that extracted (if you haven't already), and in the /Flight folder in you Mods Folder of choice (ie: SF2:V) Because there are several differing Bird Dogs wandering around, I've used a unique folder & displayed name to differentiate it from them. On the Aircraft Selection Drop Down menu, you'll see O-1E Bird Dog (3W) The (3W) names it as the stock SFP1/WoV 3rd Wire aircraft. As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. Please read the Notes section for other possibly useless information, and (hopefully) full credits. Please also take note of changes in the Standard Disclaimer in the "Legal BS" section at the bottom. Have Fun!! Woof Woof!!! Wrench Kevin Stein Enjoy this early 2025 Christmas Present!!

Meow???

Decal Level =2 same as serial numbers, "plane in group" letters, nose art, etc. the simpelst and and easiest way

Alright, who did it?? Who did it?? Who left the Farm Gate open???? (with apologies to Mr. Roberts)

Heading out to the Hulbert Gunnery Range

In a lesser known fact, "2 weeks" after the Wright Brothers flight, people were STILL waiting for the first Flight Sim to come out!!!

That looks SHARP! in the Euro camo!!

December 17, 1903. Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. We left the bonds of earth for the first time in powered flight. Thank You Wright Brothers

Can't get it started ??? Would it help if I got out and pushed????

Read --

The Boss (tm) is just making sure things are all up to date. As long as you're current, all should be good

In for a major overhaul -- the 3W Bird Dog. Everything is being rebuilt, updated, upgraded and what can't be, "is covered by a new coat of paint"

Excellent! I was beginning to worry you'd forgotten about it!! Thanks brother! An early Christmas present for the community!!!

View File SF2 T-28D Trojan Upgrade Pack for YAP-RW 12/9/2025 SF2 T-28D Trojan Upgrade Pack for YAP-RW 12/9/2025 What we have here is an upgrade pack for the YAP-RW T-28D "Trojan" trainer/close support aircraft. This full aircraft mod is being released with permission from the YAP-RW Team, and I extend special thanks to Andrea "Ralph" Richini for his help, support and approval. This package includes the original 3 skins, with all new decals, some data ini modifications (mostly adding armor), a new engine sound is also included. Be forewarned! You will be adding the new sound to your game/mod folder's Soundlist.ini. Full instructions are in the "To Install" below. All weapons are stock, in-game items. Both canopies open with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The 3 skins are: USAF: 4400th CCTS Vietnamese Air Force (South): 2nd FS/516th FS <1962 Royal Laos Air Force: RLAF <1963 Most markings are decals, but due to the fuselage/tail fin being one mesh, all fuselage national markings are painted on. The USAF and VNAF each have 24 serials. As I was unable to run down particular squadron usages, the VNAF serials are "generic" as in "these were assigned to the VNAF". USAF is also generic. The 16 RLAF serials are 100% hysterically correct. The years seen above are the start dates for these units/skins. So, the 'SF2 Date Switch is (mostly) active. If installing this to well, any mod folder including YAP-RW, you'll see on the aircraft selection drop-down menu: T-28D Trojan (Y) "Y", of course is for YAP, differentiating it from any others (?). Be advised, I did NOT change the folder name. Only the displayed name. So it should NOT effect anything if used in a YAP-RW mods folder. But that's not guaranteed! In a normal SF2:V mods folder, will have no effect (unless you have somebody else's Trojan in there?). If you HAVE YAP, maybe want to backup your original for Safety's Sake (tm). As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions.

what about the Horizon settings off the Options menu?

I got a message from him this morning, saying he wants to concentrate more on the WW2 Pacific, and VN later.

ok it's been approved for release! So, give me the usual time frame to write the read me and assemble the package. Before Christmas for sure!

Thanks guys! Last night I went to their FB page, as I mentioned above, and I'm now a member!!! I've requested permission for the release of the Trojan, and of course offered it to them first if they wish to incoporate it into YAP (well, just just ini edits and decals, really) So, we wait to the reply! thanks all! If it goes, it'll be a fun addition for use on stock VietnamSEA and Gepard's DRV terrains!
