Initially conceived as a simple swept-wing adaptation of the F-84 Thunderjet, which served as an effective fighter-bomber during the Korean Conflict, the F-84F Thunderstreak endured a much longer than expected development period due to the many changes requested by the U.S. Air Force and in the end had very little in common with the other jets in the F-84 series.

These are textures for the Alphasim F-84F available as freeware from Virtavia.

These are not new textures, but replacements for the default bare-metal textures supplied with the model. They were developed from the paint kit available from Virtavia and will transform the tired-looking grey jets into silvery swept-wing fighters from the 1950s. The textures are in 32-bit .BMP format and have been tested in both FS9 and FSX-SP2. As long as you have a working copy of the Thunderstreak, whether the original FS2004 version or an FSX port-over, these textures will make your jet as fun to look at as it is to fly.

INSTALLATION:

If in doubt, please back up your original files before proceeding.

	1. Unzip file to a temporary location.
	2. Drag the 4 texture folders into yor ALPHA F-84F Thunderstreak folder
	   found in your FS9 aircraft folder or your FSX SimObjects\Airplanes
	   folder.
	3. Select "Yes" when asked to overwrite files.
	4. Enjoy!

That's it. About as simple as it gets.
