Note: Have noticed only around 25-30% of people who DL'd from User Files actually got their livery to work as intended, so I'll try to make it clear here with better text adjustment options. The Commanding Officer's Jet(NH 101 for VF-114, NH 201 for VF-213) is mandatory for all liveries to function, please DL it with the link in both uploads' description.

Forwarding this from the HB Discord. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u5AqJ6ztE8qv1MBScCOMPYR-a1S_wDF7/view?usp=sharing I put together a generic set of templates a long while ago, devoid of any of the squadron markings as to reduce lag on weaker systems. It has a password on the .rar: BuNO162911 Additionally, the templates are in .xcf format, which for Photoshop users, it will need GIMP to open and then re-exported into a .psd. I hope this may work well enough as a stand-in until HB manages to get their official one up.

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3342007/ https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3342008/ In collaboration with Shmoo42... a heavily overdue joint livery release has finally arrived. VF-211 Fighting Checkmates and VF-24 Red Checkertails(later Renegades) now live, all representing their early 1976 transition to the newest Block 85 F-14As at NAS Fallon.

Apologies for my absence. VF-211 and VF-24 are nearly done. We'll then be moving onto VF-114(technically already done) and VF-213.

While I wait for a friend of mine to finish up 1976 VF-211, I've gotten started on the following release after VF-24.

I could probably just have it as a separate download within my VF-1 and/or VF-2 User Files uploads. This one is done, but there's 3 more E-2Bs for the 74-75 timeframe on the Enterprise I plan to get done too. On top of trying to figure out what is wrong with the props.

I... I'm pretty sure I pushed an update to the VF-32, but there's also a likelihood that maybe no liveries have gotten updates for a while now. Rather unfortunate if that's the case, I'll probably reupload the VF-32 CAG on User Files with a non-Flashbang canopy to download as a temporary fix. My apologies that there's still an atom bomb glare going on within that livery's canopy glass. It's not a mod, still the base game E-2D Hawkeye but I chose to apparently go the extra distance of making a 4-blade propped Hawkeye just for the sake of maybe a small handful of screenshots. It's not perfect, but I might be able to successfully get it down.

VF-24 has been postponed for a little bit, but I do intend to return to it soon. In the meantime however, a re-revamp of an old squadron has been completed.

The inside of the carrier has been cleared out to form... a strange parody of Frosty the Snowman.

Aside from the very obvious squadron coming up next, I wonder if anyone can spot something different about these Tomcat tails.

VF-142 has been approved and now available for public download. After a little break, onto the Red Checkertails. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3327599/
