Welcome to Skull Squadron Sims.  As a kid growing up in the 1980's I was fortunate to see many amazing anime cartoons with Robot jet fighters like Macross and Robotech.  Over the last several months my passion for MSFS flight simulator and learning the developer's kit has allowed me to create something truly special, very unique, and exciting. A fully transformable Robot Jet Fighter that has many awesome features.  Awesome to fly, amazing to watch transform and very nostalgic for all the Robotech/Macross fans out there playing MSFS.  I know you will enjoy it and be thrilled to own it.

Skull Squadron Sims Download procedure.

***Note on Download.  When you UNZIP the file the unzip software will sometimes make 2 layers of the same folder.  Make sure there are no duplicate or unnecessary folders at the top of the folder hierarchy. 

***Note for Liveries:  After you UNZIP the Liveries folder you need to copy and paste all the liveries into the directory:   /skullsquadronsims-vf12pointzero/SimObjects/Airplanes/SkullSquadronSims_VF1_2PointZero/    

***Check out the Free music download page for some sample playlists. You can download the music into the directory and play them from your cockpit:  /skullsquadronsims-vf12pointzero/SimObjects/Airplanes/SkullSquadronSims_VF1_2PointZero/sound/ 

You will most likely need to restart the game for it to pick up the new folder information.

*Free Bonus Pilot Name Textures (instructions) The file will contain folders with pilot names.  Copy the desired pilot name texture from downloaded folder.  Paste only 1 name per jet.  This will overwrite the existing texture in the texture.base folder of the desired aircraft.  I suggest making a copy of the original texture file and placing it somewhere safe before overwriting it with new textures.

***Please make sure to thoroughly read through the instruction manual inside the "Manual_PDF" folder.  You may find an easter egg feature in the instructions as well.
