File Name: SF2 Scooters! Vol.3 Skinpack for TW A-4 File Submitter: Nyghtfall File Submitted: 12 July 2015 File Category: A-4 Scooters! Vol.3 Skinpack for Thirdwire A-4 Skyhawks by Nyghtfall v1.0 ======================================================= *** SF2, SF2V required. Tested in full 5-merged installation *** *** DLC 019 A-4L for 1 Skin *** For this pack I used a somewhat different approach. While playing campaigns, your plane gets upgraded from time to time or the plane changes to a new variant. So I did skins for the upgradepath of some squadrons, that flew in Rolling Thunder Campaign in addition to the ones I already did for the following: VA-153 Blue Tail Flies (2 more in Redux), VA-155 Silver Foxes (completly new) and VA-192 Golden Dragons (2 more in Redux). VA-56 Champions is completely new and included upon special request. And last but not least I did 2 special skins for VMA-142 just for fun and these are included too. This pack contains new skins - VA-56 Champions, USS Ticonderoga, 9/1965 to 5/1966 for A-4E_65 - VA-56 Champions, USS Enterprise, 11/1966 to 7/1967 for A-4C_65 - VA-56 Champions, USS Enterprise, 1/1968 to 6/1968 for A-4E_65 - VA-153 Blue Tail Flies, USS Coral Sea, 7/1967 to 4/1968 for A-4E_65 - VA-155 Silver Foxes, USS Coral Sea, 12/1964 to 11/1965 for A-4E and A-4E_65 - VA-155 Silver Foxes, USS Constellation, 10/1966 to 12/1966 for A-4E_65 - VA-155 Silver Foxes, USS Constellation, 5/1966 for 9/1966 for A-4E_65 (experimental camouflage) - VA-155 Silver Foxes, USS Coral Sea, 7/1967 to 4/1968 for A-4E_65 - VA-192 Golden Dragons, USS Bon Homme Richard, 4/1965 to 1/1966 for A-4C and A-4C_65 - VA-192 Golden Dragons, US Ticonderoga, 12/1967 to 8/1968 for A-4F and just for fun: - VMA-142 Flying Gators, NAS Jacksonville, Florida in their '76 Bicentennial Aniversary scheme for A-4F_74 and A-4L Hangarscreens are included in 1920x1080 resolution as default and 1024x768 as optional.

File Name: SF2 A-4C(65) VA-153 'Blue Tail Flies' 1966 File Submitter: Nyghtfall File Submitted: 18 October 2014 File Category: A-4 A-4C (65) Skyhawk, VA-153 'Blue Tail Flies' Vietnam 1966 Skinpack by Nyghtfall v1.0 =================================================================================== *** SF2V required for A-4C_65-model, tested in full 5-merged installation *** The skin represents A-4Cs from VA-153 'Blue Tail Flies' in 1966 aboard the carrier USS Constellation in Vietnam. BuNo and Modex should be correct for this squadron, with 302 and 307 filled with Numbers that are correct for the squadron, but miss the modex. According to my sources, modexnumbers 300, 308 and 309 are not used, so in this pack you'll find 301-307 and 311-316. Some highlights on this skinpack are: - new Baseskin - new Decals for nearly everything :) - optional 'Griffin'-Decal as used on planes aboard USS Coral Sea (just change to commented parts at the end of decals.ini, to have it visible) - updated data.ini is included, which contains the working canopy (SHIFT+0) and landing light (thanks to Wrench). Installation ============ 1. unzip to a temporary folder 2. copy 'Objects'-folder from the zip to your mods 'Objects'-folder, if asked to overwrite, say 'yes'. 3. enjoy!
