Oh Just to Clarify this, Wrench wasn't meaning you in his comment Kurdistan, he was directing the comment to Charlie Lima I believe.

Pffft who need Crapun to do anything !! More talent on here than on his wevil infested site.....Ooops did I say that out loud ? oh well ...........................It is an interesting Aeroplane though I must say.

View File A-1H VNAF Trâu nước điên VNAF A-1 Skyraiders Also known as "The Crazy Water Buffalo" Hi Rez skins To be used on the stock 3W SF2 A-1H Skyraiders My next set and final set for the A-1H/J Skyraiders, is the one I just KNOW you have been waiting for in breathles anticipation !! Oh you giddy young things !! Yes these are the VNAF versions of the Skyraider. The contents are as follows :- 83 SOG 514 FS 516 FS 518 FS The 514 skins are just a rework of KULBIT80's skin and decal set, I have just updated the skins , the other 3 Squadrons are all new decal sets, and reworked skins, 514's skins are overall grey, 516 & 518 are pretty much standard USAF 3 tone over grey schemes with the usual over the top Vietnamese markings, SOOOOO TACTICAL !! The lack of tail markings on the 516th airframes is correct they just didnt 'ave 'em so there !! I have done the 518th skins as slightly earlier ones so I could do the snazzy white super tactical and camo friendly cowling bands, I have put anti glare panels on these skins even though in reality they didnt have them, but I thought the looked a bit odd like that so anti glare are us deal with it !! harharharhar finally the 83 SOG scheme.....I mean WOW...Really !! hyper tactical or what !! they do look we snazzy though eh chaps !! these aircraft carried no national markings except for the fin flashes, I know the reasons elude me too . Anyhow as with the previous skins I have done everything is all inclusive AT NO EXTRA CHARGE mind you !! All the usual shout outs to all and sundry, youre all groovy froods and you rock !! Now what are you waiting for, get into your Spad and go kick some Commie bottom !!! and of course, as always ENJOY !!! Submitter Trotski Submitted 05/24/2019 Category A-1  

View File A-1J USN SPADS !!! A-1J Skyraiders of the US Navy Hi Rez skins To be used on the stock 3W SF2 A-1J Skyraiders Continuing my series of Skyraider skins, these ones are for late mark Spads, of the US Navy. Included are :- VA-25 "Fist of the Fleet" 2 different skins from 2 consecutive cruises the first on USS Coral Sea, and the secon on USS Midway VA-115 "Arabs" again 2 different skins, both on the same tour of duty on USS Kittyhawk, the second set are a rework of Wrench's original experimental camo scheme, again mine is not 100% accurate, but I think it conveys the general idea. Only 2 or 3 Airframes were actually painted in this scheme, but it was just easier to do all of the squadron in it, the scheme was an experiment, which was found to be non beneficial, and in fact a bit of a problem for deck crews whilst operating at night or in bad weather, so it was dropped , however it does look pretty cool, the aircraft had only very basic markings and I have tried to replicate this with these skins, the other set of "ARABS" are in the standard Grey/White scheme. VA-145 "Swordsmen" aboard USS Intrepid VA-152 "Friendlies" on the USS Oriskany and they were called the Friendlies at this time NOT the Black Aces, or the Fighting Aces, the Name is correct for the Time period, the Squadron I believe are now known as the Mavericks !! As with all my previous uploads, everything you need is in the package ( obviously you need the aircraft in the first place hahahaha ) Again I will give the Gypsies warning about the Data.ini, make sure you DO use it , or you WILL have clipping issues !!! I will also say, as mentioned my my friend Mr Wrench, these are not 100% completely new , shiny, you cant bend it, built from the ground up , skins, but rather total reworks of skins that are already available ( in most cases) Hopefully I have improved on previous and older ones, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed doing them for you all !! All the usual shout outs ( you know who you are !! ) As always ENJOY !!!! Submitter Trotski Submitted 05/22/2019 Category A-1  

View File A-1H USAF -for SF2V A-1H SPADS , HOBO'S & ZORRO'S Also known as the A-1/AD-6 Skyraider For the stock 3rd Wire SF2:V A-1H Skyraider Continuing on from my previous uploads and reworks of USN and USMC Skyraiders, I present to you, for your delectation, and enjoyment the next in my rework of our beloved mud moving , snarling, piston powered , and rather handsome USAF Versions , I have made 3 Camouflage versions of the Aircraft from the 1st SOS, 22nd SOS, and 602st SOS of the 56th Special Operations Wing . 22 SOS is in the Zorro scheme of Camo over Nite, I am aware that not all the aircraft in the Squadron were painted this way, however rather than making a split squadron, the whole load of 'em are nite unders, if ya don't like it....well tough !! 1 SOS is done in the more usual "day" scheme, but is very dirty drab and scratched up, whilst 602's airframes are reasonably clean ( for a skyraider) And a slightly lighter colour tone with the more usual Light Grey unders. I have tried to get the numbers and nose art matched up on the different squadrons airframes, and yes I am aware that some of the pilots flew on different squadrons and took their aircraft's name with them, so some of the ones I have portrayed, may appear with different tail codes etc, depending on your sources. I have pretty much reworked the camo schemes from scratch, and I hope that these beautiful aircraft meet your approval . Everything you need is in the package decals, sounds, pilots , weapons etc. etc. etc. also the Data.ini for the aircraft.........Be advised, you MUST use this Data.ini with these aircraft, firstly because I have enabled the Chaff dispensers, and secondly, it kills off the clipping issue that started me off on this project in the first instance................YOU HAVE BEEN INFORMED AND WARNED!! That I think covers it, all the usual shout outs to Wrench and Nyghtfall for their Templates, which are instrumental in these 'ere skins And to anyone else who had anything to do with the original , aircraft, cockpits, and any other stuff that I have to be politically correct about . Please feel free to leave feedback ( it is much appreciated) also if you find any glitches that may have slipped by my (cough) quality control (cough) department, please give me a shout so I can attempt to fix it. Get out there, move some mud, scare the bejesus out of the baddies in Injun country, and above all ENJOY !!! Submitter Trotski Submitted 05/21/2019 Category A-1  

I would too, that sort of information seems to be hard to come by, always did like the look of the Flagon though, but assumed if flew like a brick .

I dont think there was any deliberate political discussion, rather it was an aside, and no derailment was intended. conversations occasionally branch off a little before returning to the subject in hand.

Of Course , the Soviet union was responsible for much bad jujuj , but one thing is sure, as a cold war warrior, I'm really glad the cold war didnt go hot, we would have overcome in the end I believe, but the cost would have been horrendous, to both sides.

Well You could argue that from the soviet Pilots perspective, it was they who were on the side of "right" Being born and indoctrinated into the Greater Soviet, regaled but stories of the Great Patriotic War , and how Mother Russia had defeated Nazi Tyranny, sort of puts a whole different slant on it. A good article though and an interesting read, especially on the combat effectiveness and maneuverability of the "Flagon" The Russians made some very handy bits of kit.

I haven't heard of any reshade like Sweetfx or anything, and if there has been any no one I can remember has posted a link to it , but I may be incorrect and someone else can shed a light on this question.............

hahahaha Good for you !! I'm partaking of a sneaky cheeky couple or ten myself sir !! and thank you Regards Marc

Apologies by the way that came across as somewhat terse, and was in no way intended as such.

Will someone please authorise my subscription please its been sat there waiting on it for over 7 hours now. Cheers.

You meant PHRYDAY !!!

shouldnt it be read as Phantastic Phantom Phriday ?

Maybe a Douglas F3D Skyknight ?

Yeah, thats all well and good, the upgrade from flying death trap, to a decent fast agile effective 2 seater, will be most appreciated by the chaps in the mess, however surviving until 1918 is maybe a little on the "not liable to be the case" side old boy , now then there are these new fangled contraptions called "tanks" the PBI have been playing with, I'm sure those may be safer and more comfortable...........what could POSSIBLY go wrong eh wot wot !!

Rather you than me flying around in a "Harry Tate" if you really want to be a glutton for punishment try it in a BE 2 .....Oh rapturous joy !! Lovely aircraft to fly, but about as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, Join the RFC they said, no more footslogging or muddy boots they said, it will be fun they said !!!
