SF2 Lockheed L-500 Galaxy (C-5A) Civilian Skin Pack by "Original Author Unknown"
For SF2, and and All
While in the midst of the massive clean up and restoration project here at CombatAce, I stumbled upon this skin for Veltro2K's C-5A Galaxy. This represents the 'what if' it had been developed to usage in the civilian market, for passenger and/or cargo carrying. Since it never left the drawing board, it's been placed here in the "What If..." section of the Downloads
The original didn't have any 'real' markings, so I created 6 new fake registration numbers. Most markings are decals, with some identifiers painted on. Decal randomization is TRUE.
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. The original readme, by whomever, is included for historical purposes (it don't say much!)
Please read the Notes section for other useless information, and credits. 
Please also take note of changes in the Standard Disclaimer in the "Legal BS" section at the bottom.
 Happy Landings! Have a Happy Heavy Humpday!!!

Royal Netherlands Air Force Starfighters. 
This mod offers my personal approach to the KLu (Koninklijke Luchtmacht) F-104 series. It is not intended to replace or compete with previous packs. I recommend testing it before removing any older mods, as you may prefer one over the other.
Installation & Requirements:
Skill Level: Basic modding skills are required (copy/pasting and managing mod folder structures).
Process: Copy and paste the specific folders into your game's directory.
Required Files: You must have a "fake pilot" installed and the original Thirdwire F-104 cockpit from the base game.
Game Menu: In-game, aircraft are listed with the .KLu. prefix -  Koninklijke Luchtmacht

Fuel tanks- Tanks are just ini files. The mod uses tanks that are part of an aircraft lod.
Now mod uses an additional no-fuel tanks loadout. Simply, If you want ot fly with a clean wing, choose from the loadout dropdown menu option - no tanks. You need this specific weapon in the weapons folder.
I have added some new pilot models; you can switch them easily in data.ini file, if you have such a desire.
Although iyt is important to remember that those pilots work well with the provided Lockheed C-2 seat. It was never tested in another configuration.
All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed.  
Paint schemes and decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in the Netherlands Air Force, for a specific year, squadron, etc.
Historically, the first Dutch starfighters were F-104G AWX versions operated by the 306th squadron, then passed to the 322nd  and 323rd squadrons. In 1964, the first fighter-bomber variant was delivered to 311st squadron and a year later to the 312th squadron. In 1963, after transferring the AWX variant into the defence squadrons 306th squadron received its first RF-104G. Those airframes were used until 1974, when all remaining RF-104G were upgraded by removing the internal camera bay and equipping it with a new Orpheus recon pod. 
In-game you will have:
F-104G '64 early fighter bomber variant.
F-104G '77 late fighter-bomber variant with ALQ-126 ecm.
F-104G AWX air defence fighter variant.
RF-104G reconnaissance variant with internal camera bay.
RF-104G(O) '74 Orpheus recon variant.
RF-104G(O) '77 Orpheus recon variant with ALQ-126 ecm.
The fighter-bomber variant is capable of delivering a special weapon. Known as nukes. Even if goverment will deny, they were training with imitation rounds. Anyway, after loading nuke, the M61 gun will be unloaded automatically. The plan was to use extra fuel loaded in gun/ammo bay but KLu did not practice that.
But there is extra fuel cell in RF variant. 
RF-104(G) - were built on old RF airframes, and some were withdrawn from the air defence role F-04G. Over the time IRST window were closed up with a metal sheet. But not on all airframes.  But here in-game, all RF-104G have the IRST window closed. 
I disabled radar in RF variants. It does not look good, I do not like it. But at least there is no radar. In fact, this is just a temporary solution.
Cockpit in general is a temporary solution, along with cockpit and avionics files. But for the new cockpit, you will have to wait a little longer. 
Credits.
3d modeling, mambo jumbo like skins, decals, some effects, ini work, pilots and seats model - yours truly .JH. 
Soulfreak - original templates, All skins in some way are based on his work. Some parts on the skin is his work, some is mine. 
The original model - Bobrock, Soulfreak, and my shitload of work hours to bring it to this standard.
pilot model - I used few parts from GKABS and guuruu work.
light effects - guuruu
All weapons by Ravenclaw, you should have them by now, but I have included what is listed in loadout.ini.
Orpheus recon pod by Ravenclaw.
TFU-11B is based on ravenclaw's HVAR.The The 
Dutch training rocket and bomb dispenser is made by me. Works only with ravenclaw's training rounds.

SF2:V A-1H Skyraider, 6st SOS, Plekeiu, MPPD Skin Remod Pak          1/22/2026

= For SF2:V (but can be used in all merged installs) =
*You =must= have SF2:V to have access to the stock 3rd Wire A-1H Skyraider. Please note, the cockpit is NOT included. You'll have to locate and install that yourself*
This pack contains a remod of a skin/decal set originally done by Mike "MPPD" Druzolowski for the Razbam A-1H Skyraider, for SFP1. It has now been adapted for use on the stock 3W A-1Hs. The skins are a reuse of the stock 3 tone SEA camo, in jpg format.
The Skin included herein is for
6th SOS
as seen in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam war, and based at Pleiku AB. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All serials and markings are 100% historically correct, as per MPPD.
I've included MPPD's original readme for historical purposes, as it has interesting information.
Once in game, on the Loadout Screen's "squadron selection" drop down, you see 
6th SOS, 633rd ACW
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. 
Please read the Notes section for other possibly useless information, and (hopefully) full credits. 
Please also take note of changes in the Standard Disclaimer in the "Legal BS" section at the bottom.
