19/07/2022 v1.8 - Various Fixes & Changes  *DELETE EXISTING SCHEMES TO AVOID CONFLICT*

Changed README to a custom PDF to provide clearer install instructions
Added weathering layer to most liveries
Various minor fixes

Australian Daring Class Destroyers, HMAS Vampire [D11], and livery for HMAS Vendetta [D08].

HMAS Vampire was the third of three Australian-built Daring class destroyers serving in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). One of the first all-welded ships built in Australia, she was constructed at Cockatoo Island Dockyard between 1952 and 1959, and was commissioned into the RAN a day after completion.

She was one of the last all gun Destroyers in the Royal Australian Navy.  Regularly required to do plane guard duties for HMAS Melbourne II with her sister ships HMAS Vendetta [D08] and HMAS Voyager [D04].

Armed with 6 x 40mm Bofors guns in 2 single and 2 dual mount turrets for air defence, and 6x 4.5in Guns in the 3 main turrets.

HMAS Voyager not included as she was bisected by the HMAS Melbourne in 1964 and was resting on the bottom of the Tasman Sea when these 2 ships had their mid-life refits in 1970 (as modeled here).

Livery is included for her sister ship HMAS Vendetta [D08].

The other Aircraft, "Wedgetail" will be coming soon to join her sister  

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.

A4G Skyhawk livery of the late 1970's embarked aboard HMAS Melbourne, based out of HMAS Albatross (NAS Nowra)

They differ from the livery supplied with the community A-4E-C Skyhawk in the following ways:

Light Gull Grey colouring and Insignia White undersides are correct colours.
Side Numbers are correct font, location, and size
Rescue stencils are correct font.
Included skins for VC-724 squadron.

The same aircraft have different variations of the Gull Grey/White scheme from the photos I have seen, so these skins are meant to be representative of the period.

VF-805 was the Fleet Defence fighter squadron, and elements of it embarked aboard HMAS Melbourne.
VC-724 was the Operational Training and Conversion squadron, and normally operated TA-4G dual seat versions, and a single seat version, along with a multitude of other trainers including Sea Venoms and the Macchi MB-326.
