Cold War Aircraft

Here are three base texture sets in 1024 pixel resolution based on Sundowner's templates (with his kind permission). Represented are "new", "used" and "worn" textures to go along with my USAF F-4 decal set. A matching color 370 gal drop tank is included.

6° Stormo A. Fusco, 154° Gruppo - 1970s
This skin depicts the tipical italian starfighter paint scheme used in the 70s, in NATO tactical camouflage with large national markings and big white numbers.
The Squadron was disbanded after the armistice in 1943 and reformed in 1952 as a fighter-bombers squadron, the insignia is the famous Red Devil and it's named after Alfredo Fusco, ace and Medaglia d'Oro al Valore recipient, shot down during WWII over Albania.
 
In 1965 154° Gruppo was awarded the "NATO flying safety" award, totaling 5000 hrs without any accident. Quite remarkable, since they were flying the dreaded Zipper!
 
 
This skin is for the original Third Wire F-104G model only. Installation instruction in the readme.txt included.

Here is a skin pack depicting every F-100D flown by French squadron 1/11 Roussillon after 1966. Every aircraft has correct serial numbers and fuselage code. The belly of the aircraft, as well as the wings and tail was covered with a special coat to prevent corrosion, that's why the color is not exactly the same as the back of the plane.

**ONLY FOR MIRAGE FACTORY'S F-100D(FR) AVAILABLE ON CHECK SIX**

The first of 254 Thunderjet received from USAF arrived in Italy in Maj 1952.
The 5°Stormo was the first that received the new jet for his 101°Gruppo and 102°Gruppo,in the next year the Stormo becoming in Aerobrigata,like an USAF's Wings,whit an additional Gruppo the 103°that passed it's F-47D to the 22° Gruppo of 51^ Aerobrigata.
This skin depicts some F-84G of 103° Gruppo(Group) based at Villafranca Air Base in the 1953;the three flash on the vertical tail symbolized,with his colours,all the group: yellow for 103°,blue for 102° and red for 101°.
 
The original skin is by Russouk2004.
All I did was repaint and add some details, and lots of decal work.

F-104S ASA M 37° Stormo, 18° Gruppo
In mid '90s Italian Air force abandoned the traditional NATO tactical camouflage for the air superiority gray, now in use as a standard paint scheme. ASA M planes were intended to be pure interceptors and air defence fighters.
 
The squadron insignia is a stork delivering its "load" and it's named after Cesare Toschi, Medaglia d'Oro al Valor Militare recipient, for his actions over Malta during WWII. The Gruppo motto is "Ocio che te copo" (watch it or I kill you). In '99 it operated CAP mission over the Balcans during Operation Allied Force.
 
This skin is for the F-104S-ASA M mod available on Combat Ace and you'll need both JET-Z S/ASA mod available on his site (http://www.12packproductions.com/JetZ/index.html) and the original F-104G by ThirdWire.
 
Installation instruction in the readme.txt included.

This is a skin of Maj.John Glenn's Mig Mad Marine F-86F Saber as seen in the skies of War torn Korea.It is a compulation of several differnt skins,and my own photoshop work.I thank everybody who made this skin possible,and hope you all enjoy it.

Here is a long overdue overhaul of the USAF F-4C/D/E Phantom II tailcode decals for every Air Force Phantom squadron in Southeast Asia from 1967 through 1975 for WOV. Some 326 new TGA decals are provided with (hopefully) correct fin tip colors, canopy rails, tape lights, and intake insignias for a total of 62 marking schemes, many I have not seen released before. Also included are my F-4 serial number decals, plus a little historical info for reference.
 
A new squadronlist.ini file is provided with new entries, but none of the original squadron entries are altered so you do not need to edit any existing campaign or mission files.
 
I'd appreciate any input for mistakes/corrections and of course additions.
 
(The TGA decals have some reference marks on them also to allow anyone to use them to create new markings!)
 
Enjoy,
Mike Druzolowski

F-104S ASA M 4° Stormo, 20 °Gruppo
 
In mid '90s Italian Air force abandoned the traditional NATO tactical camouflage for the air superiority gray, now in use as a standard paint scheme. ASA M planes were intended to be pure interceptors and air defence fighters.
 
The squadron insignia is the Prancing Horse used by WWI ace Francesco Baracca and it's named after Amedeo, 3rd Duke of Aosta, commander of the Italian Forces in East Africa, during WWII. The Gruppo insignia is a lion with the motto "Unus sed leo" (one, but a lion). In '99 it operated CAP mission during Operation Allied Force.

F104G 3° Stormo C. E. Buscaglia, 28° Gruppo
Operation Ace Guard 1991
 
On 21 December 1990 3° Stormo received the order to deploy six planes, in recce configuration, to the forward turkish base of Erhac as part of the NATO coalition, during the 1st Gulf War. Between 6 January and march 1991, in rigid weather (up to 25°C below zero) and uncomfortable conditions, the RF-104Gs flew over 300 sorties patrolling the turkish southern border.
The planes were painted in the standard NATO tactical scheme with low visibility markings.
 
The squadron insignia are four cats (of the former 278° Torpedo Bomber Squadron) and it's named after Carlo Emanuele Buscaglia, commander of a torpedo squadron during WWII. The squadron has been disbanded during the '90s and 28° Gruppo "Strega" (Witch, from the callsign used during the war) is now part of 32° Stormo.
 
This skin is for the original Third Wire F-104G model only. Installation instructions in the readme.txt included.

In April 1963 4° Aerobrigata was the first squadron in Italy to receive the Starfighters. Between 1962 and 1965 they kept the original paint scheme with bare aluminium fuselage and white anti-radiation upper wings. Alternatively also the upper fuselage was partially painted in white.

This is one of several Fokker-built Hunters of the KLu. This one was one of several
stationed at airbase Leeuwarden and was part of 630 squadron when they were still
flying aircraft instead of doing airbase security.
It was essentially a F.4 on which the wings of the F.6 type were joined. these have dogtooth trailing edges.
 
Enjoy this handsome one!
 
 
(Thanks Sundowner for the use of the basic Hunter skin!)
 
 
 
 
 
PS: This skin is to be used for AD's Hunter F.6, so NOT for the standard Hunter FGA in WOE!!
 
-As adviced by "Kirsten"I have enlarged the squadron logo to be more in proper proportions with the real thing!-

This is one of several Fokker-built Hunters of the KLu which were
stationed in Papua New Guinea in the early sixties. It was essentially a F.4 on which the wings
of the F.6 type were joined. these have dogtooth trailing edges.
The tail represents the PNG flag.
 
Enjoy this handsome one!

These are flight dynamics (Flight Model, FM, etc.) files ONLY. They do not contain models, skins, cockpits, or any other files, other than the FM itself.
 
They were developed using Kreelin's AeroConvert, and data from the USAF's "Have Doughnut" tac evaluation, performed in 1969.
 
The FM's are somewhat of a compromise, in that, while they are tailored to both mimic the real aircraft's performance in turn rate, sustained G, landing and takeoff speeds,(etc.) as much as possible, they do not impose unreasonable limits on the aircraft under AI control.
 
In short, their stall behavior is somewhat benign, yet, they can enter an almost unrecoverable spin, if you insist on flying them in a ham-fisted manner.
 
The only issue I have with them, is one imposed upon me by time-constraints. And that is, I feel that they are about 25-30 knots too slow when flying just above sea-level, at full military power (not in afterburner).
