Just thought that I would update this thread to say that this livery is now available as a download on here.

Please do so and install it as I intend to fly it exclusively and would hope that others will too.

I run the grey nose but that actually looks awesome with the black. I will have to keep an eye out for the video!

It looks great whichever way its worn. I might be biased a little though!

Re: Potential extra livery for the RAF F14
I little tweak to the grey nose version.
The sweeping black around the cockpit (although a conscious decision at the time) has now started to bug me a little. So instead I have now tweaked the file to have as more real world feel. I've also made the black to the rear of the pit a little more business like, increased the skin contrast to make it look more detailed and increased the RAF Coningsby size a tad.
I have also fixed a LOD issue with it where my old skin would flip to the old tail with my RAF No on it which was also a little annoying.
If any of you want to overwrite the current version with this one let me know and I'll send a link otherwise you can of course stick with what you have and it will still show up in game normally as the new one just replaces the old one.
View from the front View from top rear Another Idea that I had for our squadron was to do us all custom helmets. It will only be visible in the mirrors really on your own machine but I thought maybe cartoons of your call sign and/or your name on it would look cool. It would take no extra space on your drives as you'd just swap out the default helmet file to yours. Would look good in videos where your mirrors are visible!
Debate and discuss.

Roger Mutley.
I will knock up some suits and helmets shortly for us all.
As for the skin, you don't need to have the revised one if you don't want as the original grey nose will still show on your machine if someone chooses grey nose. It will just show the new one if you have that one installed instead.

Once you are settled on a Squadron skin, could you send a copy to Richard for adding to the Website so we can all download it/them please?
