These skins were inspired by the AIDC F-CK-1 Ching Kuo fighters assigned to 7th TFG, 427th TFW, ROC (Taiwan) Air Force, at Ching Chuan Kang Air Base.  Both a low-viz camouflage and a high-viz airshow demo livery were included.


These skins are available free for personal enjoyment.  All other rights reserved.

Satoru Kanzaki's F/A-18, appears only in the manga to my knowledge. The manga version was a pitch black F/A-18A (yes, A variant, the C one is used instead for obvious reasons) with virtually no other distinguishing features which is kind of boring, so this one is loosely based on some random model kit(?) interpretations of his livery.

1.  Unlimited fuel for wingman -  Script added so when wingman's fuel is below 50% internal tanks, the fuel level is frozen.  No more wingmen running out of fuel during a mission due to AI behaviour.  (If they use the tanker, the fuel will go to 100% and stay there).

2.  Adjusted some triggers and scripts for better gameplay.

3.  Changed version numbering to be similar to DCS version numbering.

Last night, a Georgian armoury was attacked by Russian backed separatist guerillas and a number of heavy weapons, including APCs, ZSU-23 Shilkas, were stolen.  Intelligence suspects that the stolen armour is heading east in order to escape into South Ossetia.  Your job is to provide close air support in the hunt for the stolen weapons.

This mod will allow JTAC's to read out your target coordinates in the format of your choosing instead of just the grid reference, allowing you to easily create a new waypoint at the target, or enter them into a JDAM or JSOW for a highly accurate strike. Now there's no more need to stop flying and convert the coordinates to the proper format, you can simply find your targets no matter where they are on the map and then take them out with precision. Passes the integrity check as well!

This skin commemorates NASA's Space Shuttle program, which ran from 1972 to 2011. It includes a complete exterior skin for the F/A-18C and its fuel tank. The skin takes inspiration from each of the Space Shuttles and does not mimic a specific Shuttle in particular.

The Space Shuttle is one of the most iconic spacecraft of the space age. With over 135 missions spanning over 1322 days, orbiting the Earth 20,952 times, travelling a distance of over 500 million miles, the Space Shuttle program has earned its reputation as a symbol of science and human perseverance.

Take to the skies with this skin and get a feel for what real speed is. Do an unrestricted climb straight through the atmosphere and be sure to hold nothing back. Suit up, sit back, and arm the ejector seat. This will NOT be a smooth ride.
