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.

Have you ever wondered what the heck a Fabulous 250 was? Or maybe a Superfast 25 Obvious Fuel-Mobile? With these kneeboards you can find out! A FAB-250 is actually a general purpose bomb, not a plus size fashion model. A S-25OFM is a Unguided Rocket, not a European sports car. Use these kneeboards to plan your next loadout and jog your memory when you forget what a Punch Through A Balloon 2.5 Knock Out really is. (Hint: PTAB-2.5KO.) Have Fun! Current stores kneeboards include AV-8B Harrier, F14, F16, F18, Mi-8, Su27, Su33, A-4E-C, MB-339A, JF-17, AJS37 Viggen, A-10C, A-10C2, MiG-29G, MiG-29A, and MiG-29S. If you want to see more aircraft, just ask!

The tanker can be respawned via the F10/other menu if necessary.  

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.

version 2.9.A001 updated October 19, 2023

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.
