THIS MOD IS NOT VCMM COMPATIBLE.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


This mod is just like the Vice City Air Force mod and the San Andreas Air Force mod except it will change your Skimmer Seaplane into a F5f jet from the Us Air Force. This jet is also alot of fun to fly, it has awesome reflections, body textures, edited collision file, included jet sounds/handling pack (created by makis) which makes the skimmer sound like a real jet, take off from the ground, fly as high as you want, perform flips, and you can now do barrel rolls which makes it great for aerobatics. Also included is the bombing mod (created by Wombat) which is a edited main.scm file that allows you to shoot "missiles" and drop bombs from the skimmer. It creates a teargas weapon pickup/marker near the lawers office which when you are near will spawn a skimmer next to it that is indestructable. It also Parks a skimmer in the empty hangar on the North-East side of Escobar International Airport. 

(If you have already downloaded and installed the Vice City Air force mod or the San Andreas Air Force mod all you need from this package is the new dff and txd.)

I would also like to add that the models created by De Espona are converted into LOCKED DFF files and can/should never be reopened again. So use of these models in other applications is impossible/ not allowed. If you like these models and would like to use them for other applications then you may purchase them from the De Espona 3d model enciclopedia (www.deespona.com)

BACK UP YOUR FILES!!! 
This mod will replace your skimmer.txd and skimmer.dff in your gta3.img file in your C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\models folder. This will also change your skimmer.col file in your Vehicles.col file located in your C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\models\coll folder if you choose to replace that file. So back up those files first incase you wish to revert back to the original skimmer without reinstalling your game. Also make sure your C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\ folder and all of it's files within are not set to read only, if they are img edit will not work and you will not be able to edit any file in that folder.

(you can also just back up your entire Grand Theft Auto Vice City folder which is easier.)



Optional install Info (this is where the optional are parts of this mod are listed.) I suggest only installing what you feel confortable with doing. I am not responsible for you messing up your game with this difficult to install mod. If you decide not to use the optional parts of this mod then proceed to Step One and when finnished with Step One stop.
