Nice looking livery, curious what the weights are for the pylons and attachments.

Thanks a lot for this beautiful liverie its very much appreciated. The SAAF and the Israeli Air Force have the most attractive camouflage on their jets. Sadlywise it does not work for me I also got a pink version. It would be most helpful to include a small Readme file of how exactly to go about not everybody is a professional like speaking of newbies when it comes to copying liveries into the MSFS directorys. BTW: It would be simply great to see a SAAF Mirage IIICZ in the bare metal finish with the red flash. Thanks once more for a great liverie

You're welcome, I've tried to get the bare metal .......bare metal but have not figured it out yet. I will be working on the SAAF livery this weekend, hopefully will get them to work with both models. I have not been able to make a standalone install, just does not seem to work for me. Hope someone who know how will give it a try.

what a great plane fun to play with it would be good if you did one without tanks and all the stuff under the wing so you can really toss it around the sky

Thank you for keeping this updated. I spent 1978 to 1980 at AFB Waterkloof, where I mainly serviced the ejection seats. I absolutely love this bird!

It does not seem to work - the texture shows pink pixels - please advise- I have copied it straight into the main plane folder where the other surfaces are.

I did replace aircraft.cfg and Layout folder in your main MRF1v1.2 folder. Add the texture folder to the MRF1 folder
