View File [Fictional] BAC Lightning F.54 - Marineflieger BAC Lightning F.54 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (EP2) This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire BAC Lightning F.53 to give a fictional Lightning F.54 in service with the Marineflieger (the naval air arm of the Bundesmarine or West German Navy) with markings for Marineflieger MFG 1 and Marineflieger MFG 2. You will need Expansion Pack 2. BACKSTORY The first rumours of an alleged bribery scandal surrounding the purchase of the Lockheed F-104G Starfighter by the West German Government coincided with the ferociously high attrition rate of the Starfighter in Luftwaffe and Marineflieger service. With the end of Lightning production on the near horizon BAC submitted a brochure to the Bonn Government and Marineflieger Officials for a proposed multi-role Lightning based on the F.53 and this proposal was accepted leading to a modest production order for 60 Lightning F.54's which entered service in late 1968 with MFG1 and MFG2 before being retired in 1987. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the LightningF54 folder into your main Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the LightningF54 folder into your main Decals folder. 3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the AS-30 folder into your main Weapons folder. That's it! CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

I remember seeing this picture in a library book (many decades ago)

Attachment Type should be UK - RAF is a Nation (sic). Other than that it must be a length or diameter limitation.

Do you actually have that bomb in your install? Unless you also have wing-mounted weapons then I think the problem might be here StationID=7 StationGroupID=3

yes:yes:

Fix works for me. Congratulations Julhelm - it's a superb replacement for the Intruder and the Tomcat!

LOL I'm going to use that in polite conversation every day until the British Expansion Pack is released.

Nice one Wrench but what does WAG mean?

Can't wait for the British Expansion Pack! This weekend would be nice...

Look at the decal.ini on the stock Third Wire Phantom and you'll see how it is is done and hopefully realise how to do it on your chosen aircraft. Can't stand the things myself.

Over at the Skunkworks - Florian did an excellent job and the download very generously includes templates!
