A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category FS 2002 Skins
Description: This version fixes my original release by removing the red "meatball" from the fuselage insignia. These textures correct those included with Aeroplane Heaven's Grumman XF5F-1 Skyrocket. They depict the prototype as it appeared in late 1942 and early 1943. I have removed the "meatballs" from the national insignia, deleted the rudder stripes, and removed the fanciful nose art. This may be the only authentic scheme for the long-nosed Navy version of the XF5F-1. I haven't been able to find a photo of it in the earlier scheme with rudder stripes and "meatball" insignia, and it's possible that it never wore that livery, remaining in pre-war colors until camouflage was applied with markings as depicted in these textures. If you want to keep the nose art, don't overwrite the "longnose" texture file when you install these textures.
