This is a fix for the decal splashing that is occurring underneath the fuselage of the Razbam A-6A when any of my Marine decal mods are installed. I made the fuselage star and bar as a painted-on marking on the fuselage .bmp texture, and made the MARINES decal smaller. The star appears a bit fuzzy now (as many folks like when markings are painted on the texture), but the odd splashing that was appearing underneath the rear fuselage are gone.
 
I also tweaked the fuselage textures a bit here and there. Back up your old files in case you don't like this fix.

VMA(AW)-533 repaint for the Razbam A-6A (white/grey radomes)
 
This is the second of the four Marine Corps A-6A units which flew in Vietnam, and the base model is again the recently released A-6 Intruder by Razbam. It will not work with the original WOV A-6A or the add-on created by Monty CZ. The few photos I have of these aircraft at Nam Phong RTAFB all have white/light grey radomes. 16 airplanes are depicted here as seen over the 1972-73 time period. As always, any additional photos or info from anyone would be appreciated.
 
Thanks again to Prowler and the Razbam team for a great product.

Here is a temporary fix to allow you to fly the Razbam A-6A in WOV using the default WOV decal markings, until all the modders out there create new markings specific for the Razbam offering. Several default decals are included in slightly modified form to fit the new Razbam vertical fin and rudder shape. I have also added random bureau numbers (which were always missing from the default WOV A-6A markings) and Modex numbers to nose and flaps in the 400-600 range.
 
Thanks to JSF_Aggie, and of course Prowler and the Razbam team for a great product.

VMA(AW)-533 repaint for the Razbam A-6A (black radomes)
 
The next Vietnam Marine Intruder unit decals, VMA(AW)-533 at Chu Lai, and the base model is again the recently released A-6 Intruder by Razbam. Just drop the folder into the A-6A folder and go fly. It will not work with the original WOV A-6A or the add-on created by Monty CZ.
 
A working decal system is provided for anyone creating new markings for the plane.
 
Enjoy,
Mike Druzolowski

VMA(AW)-242 repaint for the Razbam A-6A (white radomes)
 
This is part two of my VMA(AW)-242 decals, and the base model is again the recently released A-6 Intruder by Razbam. Just drop the folder into the A-6A folder and go fly. Most aircraft had black radomes early in the unit's history at Da Nang, but many later aircraft were seen with off-white radomes. It will not work with the original WOV A-6A or the add-on created by Monty CZ.

Revised WOV F-4E-35 textures 11-07
 
 
Found a couple of problem areas after releasing the first texture sets. These are fixed, plus the panel lines and stenciled markings are sharpened up a bit. Also darkened up the rear fuselage bare metal areas to match photos better and changed the wing fold details and tweaked a few other minor details. As before, these base textures are made to go with my USAF F-4 decals so no national markings are on the base art. Still at 1024 pixel resolution for modest computer systems.These textures are for the short gun F-4E-35.

Revised WOV USAF F-4 tailcodes 11-07
 
This is a small update to my USAF SE Asia Phantom II tailcode decals. It adds fin tip colors to the RHAW antenna housing on the vertical stab, and wingtip tape light decals. Also included is a new nose landing gear door decal with the last three digits of the serial number - which is repeated on the inside of the nose gear side fairing door (for PACAF F-4D serials only). Although not on every airplane, this was very common on many F-4Ds in Southeast Asia.
 
Several entries in the squadronlist.ini were extraneous - this has been fixed. Drop all included decal .TGA files into your objects-decals folder, over-writing all older files. Place this squadronlist.ini into the Pilotdata folder. (No new entrys were added, only extra entries deleted. Oh, also I missed the 13th TFS, 432nd TRW at Udorn with "UD" tailcodes in 1973 which was accidentally "WP" on the decal. All original entries remain the same, only now they will call up correct decals).

WOV F-4E replacement SE Asian textures
 
These textures are revisions of the templates graciously loaned to me by Sundowner. As with the F-4D textures, I created, three versions. Provided are "new", "used" and "worn" versions. The textures are 1024 pixel in size, and are intended to be used with my USAF F-4 decal project. A new 370 gal drop tank texture is also provided.
 
Mike Druzolowski

Here are three base texture sets in 1024 pixel resolution based on Sundowner's templates (with his kind permission). Represented are "new", "used" and "worn" textures to go along with my USAF F-4 decal set. A matching color 370 gal drop tank is included.

Here is a long overdue overhaul of the USAF F-4C/D/E Phantom II tailcode decals for every Air Force Phantom squadron in Southeast Asia from 1967 through 1975 for WOV. Some 326 new TGA decals are provided with (hopefully) correct fin tip colors, canopy rails, tape lights, and intake insignias for a total of 62 marking schemes, many I have not seen released before. Also included are my F-4 serial number decals, plus a little historical info for reference.
 
A new squadronlist.ini file is provided with new entries, but none of the original squadron entries are altered so you do not need to edit any existing campaign or mission files.
 
I'd appreciate any input for mistakes/corrections and of course additions.
 
(The TGA decals have some reference marks on them also to allow anyone to use them to create new markings!)
 
Enjoy,

Here is a little mod which will improve the authenticity when selecting camouflaged USAF F-4 Phantom II aircraft in Wings over Vietnam. Real F-4C/D/E serial numbers are provided as TGA format decals (40 each) and new numbers.lst and decals.ini files for each aircraft type are here. Now, when you select aircraft serials, they will be authentic type serials. (Intended for the historical nut like me). All serials are actual airplanes found in Southeast Asia in 1967-71 time frame. They are also double the resolution of those provided by the simulation also, so should appear a bit sharper.
 
This was prompted by observing that no real F-4C serials are provided for in the simulation, nor were the original FY1967 serials for F-4Es that first arrived in theater in 1968. The FY68 and 69 F-4E serials at the end of the list are all white and are TAC aircraft which were TDY in Southeast Asia in 1972-73.
 
New tailcodes and correct fin tip colors coming!
