Not really, but I might try these markings on the Jordanian camo.

Northrop F-5I Tiger II - 119 Squadron, Heyl Ha'Avir, 1973 In September 1966 Israel became the launch customer for the new Mirage 5 when they placed an order for 50 Mirage 5J's. However, rising tensions between Israel and their neighbouring Arab states during the early summer of 1967 (allied to General de Gaulle's increasingly pro-Arab stance) led to a French arms embargo to Israel announced on June 3rd, 1967 just two days before the forthcoming Six-Day war despite Israel having paid for the aircraft in full. Despite the dazzling success of the Israeli Air Force's strikes against Arab runways that were a key factor is Israel's victory the IDF were desperate to replace combat losses and strengthen the Heyl Ha'Avir and Israel looked towards America soon ordering Skyhawks and Phantoms. The Heyl Ha'Avir had already evaluated the Northrop F-5A in the early 1960's but in late 1968 Northrop offered Israel a version of their proposed F-5E Tiger II as the F-5I and Northrop's success in the 1970 International Fighter Aircraft competition led to renewed interest by the Heyl Ha'Avir and they became one of the launch customers by ordering 72 F-5I's. Deliveries commenced in 1972 and by the time of the 1973 Yom Kippur War both 119 Squadron and 253 Squadrons had been re-equipped with the F-5I with eventually four squadrons serving until the mid-1980's when most of the surviving aircraft were sold to Argentina leaving a small Heyl Ha'Avir 'Aggressor' squadron flying the type until 2003.

DecalMaxLOD= I've never really understood this entry on a decal.ini and would like to know what it does and what different values do.

Not really. I think the Tu-95 is much more graceful looking and the tail on the Douglas 1211J just looks so wrong.

Looks very smart.

Well, it would have been rude not too....

Towards the end the fuselage lost the B-70 look and became more like the A-5A with the fuselage virtually in line with the intakes.

Thanks Sandesh. It's not for release so, for speed, I used the serials from my Indian Mirage.

Smart aleks

Correction. I've been advised that the pit was by Kesselbrut.

OK. Keep your eyes peeled.

Nice calfs on those Pilots... they must be cyclists.

Yes, it's an impressive saving. And, unlike DDS, with JPEG's you can see the textures in the skin folder without opening a program.

Nice little program. I've been delving into the SF1 archives recently and everything skin bitmap I bring into my install is now JPEG.

New feature request - random patch.
