Interesting paint schemes. The Harrier is indeed a great subject for some mercenary service. It just occured to me again, that although I call my Desert Skin sets "Mercenary Sand", I use them for the SFP1 Paran nation. Mercenaries in SFP1 are on Dhimar's side, so that is the other way around... Actually I don't even use Mercenaries in the Desert map nations list. Maybe I should? But I suppose with the SFP1/SF2 games it is easy to use skins in whatever configuration desired. I love that about these games. :)

These YAP carriers and ships look pretty darn good from the screenshots. I just wish these guys form the YAP team would add one or two distance LODs to their carriers and escorts. It would take about an hour to add a model with the framerate-heavy details removed, for further distances. Such a model may also be useful as a collision model. With that in mind I prefer the stock SCB-125.

Good point! The expansion pack requirement is mentioned now.

I have uploaded a bunch of matching Mercenary Sand Skins in the past. Today I added a few more but they are still pending approval. I hope I can upload the whole of it eventually. The skins in the sets are matching in color exactly.

Good. I still have some ways to go back to game versions from 2010/2011 before the release of SF2 North Atlantic. But these older game version are impractical since they cannot handle the later 3D model format introduced with SF2NA (LOD version 8).

The way I read Stick's comment is that one can still use the SF2NA game to get Night Ops in ODS, but that the settings for Aircraft Carriers must be in the old pre-NA style, either in the Terrain or Campaign INI files. Right?

Good to hear that it also works in Windows 10. Can tell a lot about old Photoshop 6.0 from 2001. Even had to learn it at school back then. It is still very practical. The limitation is that it is weak with natural brush effects and Wacom tablet tilt support. But cannot compare it to Gimp, as I do not use that.
