Vietnam Scooters - v0.01
=============================
*** SF2, SF2V required. Tested in full 5-merged installation ***
This is a first result of a project I started a long time ago. My aim was to do up-to-date skins of all
Skyhawk-units with all their deployments, that saw action in Vietnam in a good resolution and with a lot
more details added, that the stock skins of TW had. So this project will contain more then 135 skins for
9 different Skyhawks-models once it is finished.
As SF2 isn't getting any younger (me neither  ) and the way to the finish line is still far out, I release this first pack with the skins I finished so far.
The current pack only contains A_4E, E_65, E_67 and F stuff, as A-4B+C still need cockpit-repaints and re-export of the skins, I already did.
Have Fun!
some Information:
--------------------------------
- skins in 4096x4096 resolution
- new droptanks for all planes (you can choose from 2 different tanks on the wings and up to 3 for centerline)
- added buddy-refueling pod in 2 different versions (deployed hose and retracted hose)
- added invisible skids to make belly-landings possible
- added missing Missile-Rails (LAU-7 for Sidewinder, LAU-34 for Shrike and Bullpup-A)
- repainted cockpits (same as in my released Skyhawk cockpit repaint mod)
- added some new parts via FakePilot-Method (TM) like additional ECM-antennae, second Chaff-Dispenser,
missing Tail-light and a small gimmick the bomb damage assessment camera, that was occasionaly
used on the centerline-pylon (currently only on A-4E)
- loadout.inis are updated for the additional missile-rails and use mostly stock weapons as I don't want to include tons of weapons
- included weapons are included only, because of placement-issues and have a Specificstationcode= added.
- BuNo are always correct for the squadron and if possible for the single plane
- Pilotnames on the planes should be seen a "snapshot" (same goes for BuNos), pilots changed, aswell as the commander of a squadron
within the cruise.
- several markings and maintenance stencils differ in style to bring some diversity to the skins
- some Skins are available for 2 Skyhawk-models (either E+E_65 or E_65+E_67), because in '65 the Scooter received ECM and CM-Dispenser
and in '67 some E's received the then-new avionics hump. It appears to me, that planes were retrofitted one by one, so old and new
were used side-by-side, which is not possible in SF2. So the way to go is to upgrade all planes at a given date within the cruise.

Notes and Issues:
=================
- Tanks have generic markings, as they are added as new models. There were 2 options here - old build-in tanks with markings, but totally wrong size or correct size, but generic markings only and I chose the second options - for me the
right choice.
- This is nothing for rivet-counters. I can asure you, that I tried to be as close to the real markings as possible, but sources are often enough hard to find or only available in bad quality or low resolution or sometimes no detailed
info on some markings can be found (for example placement of Modex-numbers on Flaps). Same goes for CAG-Birds. If sources were available - I added them.
