This helmet pack was also created with the help of cobra_B39. Working from original squadron photos and videos, we worked together to replicate details as closely as possible to actual squadron designs. Together, we are pleased to bring these F/A-18 helmets to the DCS community.
In this pack, you get HGU-55 and HGU-68 (JHMCS) helmet variants featuring squadron art for:
- VFA 27 Royal Maces
- VFA 34 Blue Blasters different HMD skins
- VFA 37 Raging Bulls
- VFA 83 Rampagers
- VFA 143 Puckin Dogs
- VFA 192 Golden Dragons
- VFA 232 Red Devils
Installation:
Copy and paste the six .dds files into the livery folder of your choice.
Insert or overwrite these lines in the description.lua file.
