USS Bon Homme Richard (CVA 31) Vietnam era

Have you thought about using decals* to do that? I did it on the Victorious and it saves on textures quite a bit.

*ie a transparent texture with the numbers on.

Hi
At this moment i am working in the air wing, the selected schemes and the year in wich they were used, in the case of the Bon Homme Richard i used the WestPac Cruise Book of the 1969 with the Air Wing 5

VF-51
VF-53
VA-22
VA-94
VA-144
VAW-111
VAQ-130

This took me more time than I had planned

Not clear if it is a set of Essex carriers (e.g. Hancock) or just the Bonnie Dick?

According to the Simmarket description the package includes Bonnie Dick, Hancock, and Lexington.

Walter, very nice!

One item i am finding a problem with. At night, the F-8 changes to a "glowing" version, using VF-84 livery.
This is for Hancock and Bonnie Dick (havent yet checked Lex).
I noted that there is a "F8_CRUS_NIGHTS DDS" file in the texture file, that seems to make every Crusader a ghostly Jolly Roger at night.
Is there a reasoning for that? Seems quite odd.

Otherwise, your efforts are quite awesome!
Thanks.
