    Douglas Skyraider FB.3 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a simple mod of the stock 'AI' Thirdwire A-1H to give a flyable 'what if' RAF Skyraider FB.3 with markings for No.6 Squadron, No.8 Squadron and No.112 Squadron in a mid-1950's to mid-1960's timeline. Whilst this mod is meant for Strike Fighters 2 is does require you to have Strike Fighter 2: Vietnam so that you have the necessary Third Wire A-1H LOD's that are, of course, not included here. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the SkyraiderFB3 folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the SkyraiderFB3 folder into your Decals folder. That's it! CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. Special thanks to Wrench for the lines and rivets from his 2048 x 2048 Skyraider templates squeezed into my 1024 x 1024 templates. Extra special thanks to CA_Stary for the cockpit. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 2 - February 4th, 2024
  2. Douglas Skyraider GA.3 of No.41 squadron, RAF South East Asia Command, July 1965. Just uploading this now, I hope you enjoy it.
  3. Thanks mate. It's nice for Dhimar to have this until the Buccaneer arrives
  4. En route to Paran, a Royal Dhimari Air Force Grumman A-6A Intruder, August 1968.
  5. Grumman A-6A Intruder of No.7 squadron (The Rattlesnakes) Royal Dhimari Air Force.
  6. Guns! Although I do like hearing a really load IRM growl when 2km behind a MiG-17!!
  7. Fiddler on the roof... of the world!

    Cool! When flying it as 'RED' it doesn't half catch fire quickly!
  9. Was WOI ever released on CD?
  10. Skyraider GA.3 of No.112 squadron, RAF South East Asia Command. The Third Wire A-1H/J (using CA_Stary's pit) is such a blast!
  11. Slightly OT - I know the USN did not operate the RF-4B but did the USMC RF-4B's ever serve aboard a carrier?

  14. Skyraider GA.1 of No.112 squadron, RAF South East Asia Command. I normally fly single missions testing decal positions, etc. and flew a really good one a few minutes ago in my 'Spad' scoring 5770 including two MiG-17's - the second was on a head-on pass and, as you can see, he beat me up a bit before kopping a 20mm in the chops. Anyway, whilst I'm sure that this is quite a modest score it got me thinking about what the record is - so let's see your highest single mission scores (non-nuclear please) and tell us a bit about the aircraft, terrain mission, etc.
  15. Well I think that just about kills this thread.
  16. Skyraider GA.2 of No.112 squadron, RAF Middle East Command, Kingdom of Dhimar, June 1957.
  17. It will make a fine addition - good luck with this project!

  22. If you've never installed any sounds I think you might need to create a folder called 'Sounds' (e.g. Spinners/Saved Games/ThirdWire/StrikeFighters2/Sounds)

  24. Diamond quality Enrico.
  25. But what happens when drop tanks fall off a model with built in tanks?
