This livery is for the Heatblur F-14A-135-GR (Late) for DCS and represents VF-41 circa 1999-2001. 11 of VF-41's aircraft are represented here, including 2 liveries for AJ101/BuNo 162608. Since the livery covers 3 years and two deployments on different carriers, no crew names, carrier titles, or award markings are included. The Black Aces sailed aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt in 1999 and on USS Enterprise in 2001, and in the intervening time their paint scheme changed little aside from awards and carrier names. 

AJ101 wore a high-visibility scheme, but only full color tail markings during combat operations. Both of these options have been included.

The LANTIRN texture is from one of Isoko's packs. The helmet and mask textures are placeholders. VF-41 was no longer using the HGU-33/P and green MBU-14 during the period this livery represents. Heatblur has promised to add the HGU-55/P as an option, which is cosmetically similar to the HGU-68 configuration the Black Aces were actually using. Once this option becomes available, I will update this pack accordingly.

Installation:

1) Drop the F-14A-135-GR folder in this file into your Saved Games\DCS or DCS.openbeta\Liveries folder.

2) Select the livery in DCS mission editor

This livery remains a work in progress. Please enjoy!
