AV-8B Harrier II Royal Navy 700A Naval Air Squadron based at Yeovilton 1979-80

Fictional Hornet skin using real Royal Navy markings.

Instead of building the new Queen Elizabeth carriers it was decided that it would be cheaper to purchase one o f the Nimitz class carriers from the States with a side order of F-18C Hornets. An old squadron of the Fleet Air Arm was recommissioned to fly from the carrier. The squadron chosen was 800 Naval Air Squadron that had served aboard HMS Eagle.

This gave the Royal Navy a much bigger strike capability than the old ski jump carriers could offer.

This Mod adds additional UK squadrons to the Logbook, for the British Army, the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm, and the Royal Air Force.

Version 2.5.6 (just as sequencing thing, it should work with any 2.5 version) some updated imagery for the logbook and a few new squadrons for FAA in WWII (moderately pointless but...), this is now pretty much complete from my POV, but, if you have squadrons you want included and you have the imagery PM me and I will see what I can do.

I added in a couple of Fictional Squadrons, and the overlooked much to my chagrin 3 Commando Brigade Air Squadron and CHF, and thanks to @Mordants 736 Squadron FAA  I also found 664 and 651 AAC.

My Fictional  Royal Navy F-14 Tomcat "FA2" based on the sea Harrier FA2 liveries for 801 Squadron a fictional what if skin.

If people want any customisation or call signs on the side then hit me up with a private message.

Version 1.3 I will be making several updates over the next couple of months

If you have any feedback or suggestions for further skins you would like to see, please don't hesitate to leave a comment

This is a file with each panel on the hornet numbered, to assist in making your own skins.

This file includes both the skin dds files, and the XCF files which I used to create it, so you can see where each number is on the flat packed file also. In order to use this skin in game or in the model viewer please take the inner-most "ID skin" folder and copy this to your liveries folder.

When playing around with the RoughMet layer I discovered some unusual effects, which inspired me to make thjis space-inspired hornet skin.

Please note that as this effectively relies on a glitch in how ambient occlusion works, appearance may vary depending on system specs, settings and game version

Happy flying!

A little fictional skin I've been working on for the Hornet, in the style of the Sea Harriers and Phantoms of the Royal Navy, prior to ther Falklands War.

This is my first hornet skin so there may be an improved version coming in the future. Any feedback is aprpeciated
