US M1A2 Abrams HD livery pack 1 for "Operation Iraqi Freedom" UPDATE

5 x HD weathered liveries for M1A2 Abrams MBT to celebrate the launch of Iraqi map

INSTALATION 
Copy file "m-1 abrams" into the DCS Livery folder.
Has 2 locations, in the Game installed location or on Game Saved folder (usually C:/ drive)
DCSWorld / Bazar / Liveries / m-1 abrams

UPDATE: after DCS 2.9.11.4686 patch dated 24.12.2024
Good News: ED has made HD available to all.
Bad News: Its messed up LUA file link & description, so these liveries no longer show.

Back to the Good News: Easy fix
  1.Open specific livery folder e.g. "US Desert 2003 3rd Inf Div All Bout Da Bones, Mud"
  2.Remove "low_" from in front of 2 texture (DDS) files e.g. "low_Abrams_M1A2_Bashnya_D" should now read "Abrams_M1A2_Bashnya_D" etc
  3.Open description.lua file with text editor (e.g. Notepad)
  4.Remove "low_" from the front of each instance in description
  5.Can do this in bulk with Replace function under Edit. Type in "low_" in Find bar & leave Replace bar open & press Replace All. Should remove all "low_" with one click.
  6.Save & close
If you've already downloaded, use above fix. Will have full updated version to replaced this in a few days (Admin usually take a few days to check & verify)

Liveries in HD format for 5 vehicle schemes used during "Operation Iraqi Freedom", including many used during the "Thunder Run" operations into down town Bagdad. 
Liveries are dedicated to S Sgt Stevon A.Booker of Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 64th Armor Regiment, 3rd Infantry Division, who was killed during the 2nd "Thunder Run" on 05 April 2003
Livery of his tank "Another Episode" is included in the pack.

Apologies for file size, as I have made the liveries HD format, because I have the CA (Combined Arms) mod. Hopefully liveries work for non CA mod users, as well? Otherwise please comment & I'll see if I can convert to reduced pixels?
Working on more packs for 1st Gulf war & other foreign users, so enjoy!
