This is a repaint of the *2021* Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron, The Thunderbirds.  Included are numbers 1-8 as well as a few spare paints, reflecting the current pilots of the real team. Now updated to reflect the #2 pilot.

This mod is tree textures with actual tree and branch photographs for Caucasus.  Instead of Speed Tree generated ones.
For ALL seasons.

Install:
Extract into main DCS directory. OvGME or other Mod Manager recommended.

If you have Terrain mod such as CGTC, Barthek's, Mustang's, Starway's.... there will be conflict. Just install this mod last and overwrite. This mod will only replace trees and substrate.

The idea is not new.  But Opacity in Labels.lua is broken and many don't realize there is workaround.
This Labels file is adjusted to be subtle enhancement to visibility.

Install:  Extract to DCS Main install path or use mod manager.  Must choose Dots only labels in game.

I have included comments in the file for further adjustment per your preference.  Search for Taz1004.

Dot size will depend on your screen resolution and can be adjusted with font size in line 60
Recommend font size of 3 or 4 for VR.  8 for 4K monitor.

Improved Shkval reticle visibility.

Made two variations but I prefer white. Both are far better than default.
Quickly joined a MP server to test IC and seems to pass.

INSTALL:  Extract into Main DCS install directory. Or use mod manager.

Official color of the USAF Thunderbird's hangar.
