Israeli F-4E Phantom II - Kurnass 2000 - 201 Sqn
This skin is for the F-4E Phantom (Kurnass 2000) belonging to 201 squadron based at Tel-Nof AB, Israel.Some details are missing due to the strange behaviour of the skin ( for example the red edge of the jet intakes).
Please also note that this skin overwrites the Turkish skin, and if you added the F-4E to the US side, it will overwrite the US skin too (it's the same).
There are two versions, one high-resolution (1024x1024) that doesn't fit into the CDDS files and one with a lower resolution (512x512) that can be merged in the CDDS file.

T-80 Desert camo
A fictional skin for a desert-type scenario. There are Iraqi-like markings on the turret side, but it's quite a fictional scheme because the old Iraqi army didn't have T-80 and because even their T-72 had different features and markings.Released: December 31st 2004
T-80 Soviet Guards skin and T-80 template
A fictional skin for a Central Front scenario. This does not want to represent any actual unit that served in Central Europe, it was made to try my new T-80 skin layered PSD template. However as far as I know the Guards badge on the tank sight cover was actually carried by some Guards tanks. Enjoy!PS: I updated the skin and the template to version 1.2, with some added markings and weathering.

F-15 Eagle Cold War Skin Pack
This skin pack includes new tails for the F-15 Eagle. The tails belong to '80s US squadrons. Also squadron markings on the jet intakes have been painted like real ones.The brand new tails are for:
Some other skins have been moved/renamed, some have been overwritten. This skin package is fully Loman compatible and I suggest to install it with that utility, so it will also be easier to switch back to a previous configuration. If installing with Loman, please also check that the option "Install in CDDS files" is activated.

F-14 Tomcat VF-32 Swordsmen, 1989
January, 14th, 1989. Following another escalation in the US-Lybia relations, the US 6th fleet is conducting exercises off the Lybian coast, in the Gulf of Sirte. In the middle of the morning a pair of Lybian MiG-23 Floggers try to intercept some US aircraft; two fleet Tomcats belonging to VF-32 Swordsmen are routed to intercept the incoming bogeys. After some failed disengagement maneuvers the Floggers are declared hostile and are shot down in a short fight, where 2 Sparrows and one Sidewinder are fired.This skin represents the camouflage and the tail art of the VF-32 Tomcats that took part to that shotdown, AC-204 and AC-207, callsign GYPSY.
The camouflage is quite typical for that timeframe, when most of US Navy aircraft adopted a low-viz scheme.
Please note that the standard download features a 512x256 skin (standard for the Tomcat CDDS skins). If you want a higher resolution skin (2048x1024) you can grab it here. You'll just need to drag it in the Lockon\bazar\temptextures folder.

F-16 USAF Desert Camo (experimental)
A USAF two-tones test camo for F-16 desert ops, very cool, with some weathering too ;)Here's the description from "Viper - Modern Military Aircraft - Squadron/Signal publications":
F-16C (84-1212) of the 33rd TFS, 363rd TFW, based at Al-Dhafra (UAE) during Desert Storm (1991) was given an experimental desert camouflage. It was so effective that on its first flight his wingman lost sight of him during the initial join-up! It was repainted in standard F-16 colors after a week of testing.
This skin has been painted according to the official camo scheme and using computer-simulated FS-military tones

Cuban MiG-29 Fulcrum
This is a standard-res Cuban Mig-29 camo. This skin overwrites the default Soviet camo, just because it needed the blue numbers on the intakes.If you want to change this, you can rename the skin (I suggest using the number 10 camo, which is not very useful and has no numbers at all. To do so rename the skin to MIG-29-PAINT-DEF-10-L.dds/bmp)
You don't need a tweaked nomera.tga file to avoid the soviet red stars painted over the Cuban camo.
Released: September 9th 2004
Tornado Template
A template for the Tornado IDS, including a "Desert-Pink" tone camo, employed by RAF Tornados during the 1991 Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm). The template is quite rough, since it was my first try to build one, so don't expect a professional template! Please also note that this template does not remove the British or German markings from the aircraft. To do this you must edit the nomera-black.tga file.Released: September 8th 2004
