File Name: SF2 Scooters! Vol.2 - Aggressors for TW A-4 and Fractures TA-4 Skyhawks File Submitter: Nyghtfall File Submitted: 26 June 2015 File Category: A-4 Scooters! Vol.2 - Aggressors for TW A-4 and Fractures TA-4 Skyhawks ======================================================== *** DLC A-4G Skyhawk required. Tested in full 5-merged installation *** *** SF2 or SF2V for the A-4E cockpit and A-4F model *** This pack contains 14 Aggressor-Skins for the Scooter as used during it's career as plane for DACT - Dissimilar Air Combat Training. These planes were used to simulate enemy aircraft vs. regular Squadrons. Although a certain camouflage was applied often to 1 plane only, I decided to do 8 planes per skin for playability reasons. To difference the real planes and the "filler" I added the BuNos for the real planes in the loadout menu. The ones without BuNo are fictional. This pack contains skins depicting the following planes/squadrons: A-4E/F Mongoose without Hump - A-4E/F of VF-43 Challengers, 1992 in a light gray/gray wraparound camo. - A-4E/F of VF-126 Bandits, 1992 in white/gray/blue with light blue bottom - A-4E/F of VF-126 Bandits, 1991 in tan with brown stripes and gray bottom. - A-4E/F of VF-126 Bandits, 1991 in tan/brown/green with gray bottom. - A-4E/F of VFC-12 Fighting Omars, 1993 in an overall glossy engine gray camo. A-4E/F Skyhawk with Hump - A-4E of VF-45 Blackbirds, 1987 in brown with green tiger stripes ("Brown Tiger") - A-4E of VF-101 Grim Reapers, 1972 in 2 shades of bluegray with light blue bottom. TA-4J Skyhawk - TA-4F/J of VFC-12 Fighting Omars, 1989 in an overall glossy engine gray camo. - TA-4F/J of VA-127 Cylons, 1986 in a tan/green wraparound camo. - TA-4F/J of VA-127 Cylons, 1983 in a light gray/dark gray/blue wraparound camo. - TA-4F/J of VC-8 Redtails, 2000 in tan/brown. - TA-4F/J of VC-8 Redtails, 2000 in blue/light blue ("Baby Blue"). - TA-4F/J of VF-45 Blackbirds, 1993 in bluegray/gray wraparound camo. - TA-4F of H&MS-31 Aggressors, 1989 in 3 different gray wraparound camo. Included is a variation of the ACMI-Pod. For that I combined ravenclaws ACMI-Pod model with the data.ini of 331Killerbees CAP-9 to make it a missiletype-store than uses a build-in rail. New Hangar- and Loadingscreens are also included with a resolution of 1920x1080 as default and 1024x768 as optional. I changed the cockpit by removing the radar screen. Additional changes are the switched positions of the Accelerometer and AoA-Indicator and Levers for Arresting Hook and Landing Gear are operational now. As in dtmdragons original mod, I retained the cannons for playability, although they are not visible in game. I hope you have fun with it! Sources ======= - Scooter! The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk Story, Crécy 2011 - A-4 Skyhawk Association, http://a4skyhawk.org/ - Airliners.net - Google in general to gather pictures of aggressor skins. Installation ============ 1. unzip to a temporary folder 2. open "Put_Content_In_Your_Mod folder" and do as you were told, if asked to overwrite, say 'yes' :P 3. enjoy! If the Squadrons are missing in the loadout screen, you should add content of the "squadronlist_ini_addon.txt"-file to the squadronlist.ini ("<mod>\pilotdata"-folder) with XXX changed to the next free numbers. If the Aggressors-"Nation" is missing, you have to add the content of "nations_ini_addon.txt"-file to the nations.ini ("<mod>\flight"-folder) with XXX changed to the next free number.
