View File Vietnam Air War - Vigilantes. RA-5C Vigilante in the Vietnam War. Simple skin pack with a few sets of skins for the Navy RA-5C Vigilante that flew recon missions during the air war over Vietnam between 1965 and 1974. This mod offers my personal approach to the Vigilante in the Vietnam War. It is not intended to replace or compete with previous packs. I recommend testing it before removing any older mods, as you may prefer one over the other. It is based on my old pack from 10 years ago. This new pack was built already some time ago around my other mods covering CVW deployments in the Vietnam War. So it is intended to work with my Vietnam Air War Navy releases. Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) All serial numbers are historically correct. (Hope) But I have not yet completed the whole research. So updates are possible. If I was not sure or have no information about the number/modex, it is marked on the number.lst file. During service, many RA-5C were lost. My tail numbers are mostly original unit deployment before any replacements were made. New skin on new templates. Now skins are 4096x4096 - but you should probably resize them to your desired format. All decals are new and made by me. RVAH-6 green camo just a generic camo paint. As all those aircraft had some differences in camouflage patterns. I made a strobe pod for RA-5C, with an experimental flash/strobe effect. It works as RP, so you have only 64 strobe shots. It should be instant, quick strobe flash...but I do not know how to fix it anymore. RA-5C tailcone. - Via fake pilot I've added tailcone. So no need to load/unload an empty fuel pack. It will always appear on aircraft. Fuselage fuel pack is loaded optionally as FT. Added Data.ini file with correct lines for adding strobe pod and that fake pilot tailcone. Some small edit, removed Strike capability, fixed collision points and hit boxes to my liking. Also fixed chaff/flare positions.

Pilots that I used are the same as in previous packs. But these are with non-transparent visors. So if you want to keep .tga visors, do not copy pilot files. While RA-5C models are not mine and you are free to use them as you wish, this mod (skin sets, pilots) or any part of it in this current form should not be used in any campaign, mission pack, or any mod without my permission. Thanks for all your kind support. Enjoy and report bugs.

Not going to point fingers, but yes, I can be a dick sometimes, so here I am...to a few posts above....does anyone from the Cold Waters team know about ripping their naval models? and without dicking around, meaning back to the topic

Ale oczywiście, że możesz ściągać za darmo.

That is a very nice seat... ZIppers. You know..I am still on it. I just took a break from it. Needed to clear my head.

1967. CVW-2. Still missing a few units from this group....but I will get there. Same with other CVW....long story.

Seems it is kind of a nice thing...especially in some nation-themed mods. But are you planning to make it for a general audience? or it is just a short recipe? for everyone to do it on their own? just asking... because I am sure I will be too lazy to do it on my own...

here so, do not bother with other site.. It is not worth it. CA is not connected in any way to A-Team. And CA is much better, despite dicking around sometimes, we are quite reasonable and a very understanding community...

No. Yes. I did. I already uploaded A-6 and A-7 CVWs. All known and confirmed serials from all Vietnam cruises. So for Phantoms, it goes/it will go the same way, squadron year by year, and set startdefaultdate= to correspond with other skin packs from the same CVW. As I mentioned, A-6 and A-7 are done this way... (and privately I have made similar changes on Nyghtfall's Skyhawks - but I am not going to re-work his Skyhawks, I did it only for myself* - this is his child, and it is quite an extraordinary mod). So when I play, for example, a single mission in October 69, the game will automatically load other aircraft only from deployments that are set for that timeframe, resulting in loading proper CVWs. Example as mentioned before, Oct 14, 1969 - Jun 1, 1970 CVW-2 on CVA61 Ranger: VA-93 and VA-56 mounted on A-7B, VA-196 on A-6A 6A, Two Phantom squadrons VF-21, VF-154...and there were other birds too, but not all we have present in game... It is generally meticulous work...in a way...But I am finding final results quite rewarding...Hope all of you also. * By editing skin pack startdefaultdate= and editing data ini/loadout.ini - so it works with my edited MERs and TERs as on A-6/A-7 and on Phantoms. This one is nearly 3 years on CA with updates made several weeks ago. And Drumsticks were released a month ago...

I have Navy Phantoms - as a part of the Vietnam CVWs. A-6 and A-7 are done this way already. And have some other birds of those CVW too, but that is another story. Might do Marines squadrons - but this might be too much, as generally I want to finish/upload what I have...not really thinking about doing something new/more, at least for now. It is not a full-time job...

So, yes, I have recently been uploading some mods that I have been working on over the years. Some were made long ago...time passed, then I changed my approach, then changed something. Later, guys here and I had some plans...We still have, but as a matter of fact, I decided not to keep these mods on the drive as it is pointles..better if you can have fun. Anyway. So from time to time, you might find something popping up in the download section under the Vietnam Air War banner. Some old stuff, some new, maybe something extra. But also, if you have some suggestions, feel free to engage in the topic, Also, if ever some updates come(small ones), it will be posted here in the topic, not in the download section. So first is a small update for AC-130A - MER rack - Ravenclaw was so kind and made a black one - so if you want to replace, here it is. All thanks to Ravenclaw. USAF_AC-MER.rar Also, someone suggested some time ago that there is a problem with double tga. textures in-game. Yes, it is. So, the new pilots that I have added to my mods had those visors transparent, with assigned tga texture in max, and this causes some silly visual effects in-game. So here are the same models, but with removed tga. textures and this one is using jpg - non-transparent substitute. Just in case someone might want it the old way. Just make sure to make a backup. jpg_visor_pilots.rar

View File Vietnam Air War - VooDoo Skin and decal pack for RF-101C by ErikGen. This mod offers my personal approach to the VooDoo role in the Vietnam War. It is not intended to replace or compete with other packs. I recommend testing it before removing any older mods, as you may prefer one over the other. Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) Install: Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination. Mod represents units that were involved in combat in Vietnam. I modified the data to limit some stuff, edited overgrown hitboxes, and made small corrections - just usual stuff. You will see all is quite clear, easy, and renewed. New bump maps, specular maps, and skins covering units involved in the Vietnam air war. Bunch of new decals. All done by yours truly. Skins is a mix of jpgs, bmps and dds. It should be this way; otherwise, the game does not load it properly. New pilot figures made by me. Late variant can carry ECM pods. Bear in mind that in reality, they only carried QRC-160/ALQ-71; all newer, more advanced pods were sent to Thud squadrons. Credits: Original models - ErikGen All ECM - Ravenclaw. , You have them by now. But I added them anyway. Decals, skins, ini work, etc... - yakarov. Have fun. This mod is still a work in progress regarding allocating serial numbers / making decals/nose arts. So one day there might be an update. While RF-101C models are not mine and you are free to use them as you wish, this mod (skin sets, decals) in this current form should not be used in any campaign, mission pack, or any mod without my permission.
