Hello…


Here is a release of a skinpack made in order to fly over the Mission_Bug’s South_Vietnam map, colonial era (1945 – 1954) :

SKINPACK


Aéronavale (Navy) : “F” or “S” means “Squadron”. So “3F” means “3rd Squadron” :

- SBD : 3F - 1947/1948
- SBD : 4F – 1948/1949
- Seafire : 2 planes embarked on the “Arromanches” carrier – 1948/1949
- Privateer (fake from B24) : 8F – 1950/1953
- PBY : 8S – 1945/1952
- C47
- Ju-52 “Toucan”
- Fi-152 “Criquet” : 28F + another "flotille"
- F6F-5 Hellcat : 1F – 1951/1952 – Note : 1F was transformed in “11F”
- F6F-5 Hellcat : 11F – 1953/1954
- F6F-5 Hellcat : 12F – 1952/1953
- F4U Corsair : 14F – 1954

Armée de l’Air (French Air Force) :

- P-63 « Kingcobra » : Normandie-Niemen (1949/1950) / Auvergne / Ile de France (1949/1950)
- A-26 « Straffer » (fake from A20-G) : Escadrille I/19 "Gascogne"
- Fi-152 “Criquet”


Please, note that I am not the author of these skins, as I am not a skinner…

My only contribution to this skinpack was to add historical squadrons insignas, markings, plane IDs, to skins originaly designed by very talented skinners, in order to have several planes for every squadrons (listed above) to fly with.


I did not modify the beautiful P63 skins made by UF_Zargos, as for the A26 ones made by Rudi Jaegger.
The Privateer skins were designed by 611Sqn_Wolf.


For 1F and 12F Hellcat, I used the skin made by Tromp-La-Mort and only added squadron markings and plane IDs. Same work for the 12F Hellcat (made by Ronco), Seafire (made by Josse), PBY (?), C47 (?), Toucan (Millekmh?), Criquet (Fantôme and 611Sqn_Wolf), 14F Corsair (?), SBD (?).

Sorry if I forgot to mention every authors, but for some skins, I have no idea of who made them…

Again, this set of skins has only one purpose : to recreate immersive and historical flights over the terrific Mission_Bug’s Indochina map…



Some few screens :
























Here is also a populated template for this map :

TEMPLATE

Half the airbases are populated.
All the "Camps fortifiés" are populated.
There are some vietminh objectives to search and destroy, french pilots to rescue, ...
It is also possible to drive a jeep from some "Camps fortifiés"... :wink:

It should help mission makers...

Unzip file to : Mission/Net/Dogfight.
Easy to adapt for solo missions.



Coming soon :
- Complete order of battle (OOB) for "Armée de l’Air" and "Aéronavale";
- Small mod to use French skins for some static planes (Corsair, Hellcat, Toucan, A26, Privateer, Criquet…);
- Missions (later…)
