WOV F-4E replacement SE Asian textures
 
These textures are revisions of the templates graciously loaned to me by Sundowner. As with the F-4D textures, I created, three versions. Provided are "new", "used" and "worn" versions. The textures are 1024 pixel in size, and are intended to be used with my USAF F-4 decal project. A new 370 gal drop tank texture is also provided.

This is the Photoshop template I used to create my F-104G skins. I left untouched most of the layers so you will be able to adjust the weathering to your taste quickly.
Included in the files are the base layers for both standard NATO camouflage and natural metal finish.
 
I've spent several hours creating these files so, if you're going to use them in a public release, just give me some credit for them
 
These files are for the stock ThirdWire F-104G only.

VF-84 "Jolly Rogers" - The Final Countdown, circa 1980
 
This skin depicts the paint scheme in use at the time the movie "The Final countdown" was shot. In 1980 VF-84 participated in this motion picture, which propelled the skull-and-crossbones-adorned F-14's to international stardom. The movie featured a memorable scene involving two VF-84 Tomcats engaging two Japanese A6M Zeros.
 
Installation instruction in the readme.txt included.

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.

Polikarpov I-16-10 CAF update package for SF/WoV/WoE WW2: PTO installs
 
This little package will upgrade Wolf's cute little Soviet fighter to fit more with current standards of loads, lights and cockpit. You'll be transfering files from another of his WW2 Planes, so make sure you have them installed.
 
I've included a newer version of Wolf's Chinese Air Force skin. The skin has newly redrawn panel lines, 'interperative' rivets added (meaning I claim no historical accuracy for their placement), some weathering and general dirt added. But -- the credit for the original skin is STILL with Wolf; all I did was fiddle with some eye candy bits.
 
This package contains tweeked data, loadout and cockpit inis. The cockpit ini (now called "Rata_Cockpit.ini) is a copy of the one from Wolf's Tomahawk/P-40B, as it has a better look for this aircraft (albeit not perfect, but workable). You will be transfering the cockpit folder from the Tomahawk for use in this aircraft. The ini has had the pilot positions adjusted to match the I-16, plus some 'moves' courtesy of what I've learned from Lexx_Luthor.
 
I have also included a small (25kg) WW2 Soviet bomb, that comes with the Dev A-Team's IL-2, so you'll be using the weapons editor to add this as well.
 
 
==NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK INSTALLED TO GET THE WW2 WEAPONS!!==
=You MUST Also have the WW2 Nations Ini to have the correct nations=
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for fully detailed, step-by-step install instructions, plus the usual notes, commentaries and propaganda
 
Enjoy!

Nakajima Ki-27 "Nate" update package for SF/WoV/WoE WW2: PTO installs
 
This little package will upgrade Wolf's perky little IJAAF fighter to fit more with current standards of loads, lights and cockpits.
 
It includes a 2 skins, a natural metal for 1 Sentai, circa 1939/40-ish; and a Generic IJAAF Green (both revamped from my eariler ones). The skins have newly redrawn panel lines, 'interperative' rivets added (meaning I claim no historical accuracy for their placement), simulated fabric surfaces, some weathering and general dirt added.
 
This package contains tweeked main, data, loadout and cockpit inis. The cockpit ini (now called "Nate_Cockpit.ini) is a copy of the one from AD's Ki-43 'Oscar', as it has the best look for this aircraft. You will be transfering the cockpit folder from AD's Oscar for use in this aircraft (make sure you have it!). The ini has had the pilot positions adjusted to match the Ki-27.

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.

C-130H skins by Bib and USAFMTL
Drop into your C-130H folder and fly.
 
I did a low vis drop tank so back up your old one if you want to use it. It goes in the weapons folder (you must use the weps pack to get a weps folder)
 
Thanks to Dels for the plane and the templates.

These two missions, "Death Valley" and "Mountain Thunder" are written for the AmericaNW Mountain Thaw terrain mod I posted the other day, found here; http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=5419
Just unzip and place them in your Missions folder.

C-130H As flown by 37 Squadron Royal Australian Air Force.
 
Read the Readme.txt

These are the Photoshop templates for my C-130H Ver 1.0, so that others can make skins for it.
 
Enjoy!

This is a fictional VTOL jet inspired by the Kestrel jet from the Amiga games Zeewolf and Zeewolf 2. It is similar to the Harrier, but lighter and with vastly more powerful turbofan which, while making pop-up'n'fire-attacks a breeze, does guzzle up fuel at a rather alarming rate when in hover mode.
 
Features:
 
Custom cockpit by yours truly.
 
Skin template included for your skinning pleasures.
 
3 skins:
 
Ferris-type experimental camo
 
Swedish Navy Gripen-style camo
 
USMC Desert camo
 
------------------
 
People whose textures I've shamelessly borrowed/ripped off:
 
Kesselbrut - Vigi pit for the side consoles
 
Batman - Random gauges from the excellent F-4J cockpit because I was too lazy to do them myself :)
 
The rest of the pit is mine, however.
 
------------------
 
Other info:
 
This is a work in progress and subsequent refinements will be posted as time permits. In the meantime, I'll be grateful for any comments/suggestions.
 
-----------------
 
Legal stuff:
 
Sell or claim this as your own work and I will bust your kneecaps, steal your mother, rape your TV and smash your f***ing head in.
 
Same goes for trying to sneak this into some payware package.

Mikoyan MiG 9 Strike Fighters Project One Add-on by Timmy and Lexx_Luthor.
 
In response to a state requirement issued in February 1945 for a pure jet fighter, the MiG OKB developed a twin-engine, straight-wing aircraft that was given the designation of "I-300". It was also referred to by the internal OKB code of "izdeliye F (model or product F)". And was finally designated "MiG-9" by the Soviet Union and code named "Fargo" by NATO. The first of three prototype performed its initial flight on 24 April 1946, with test pilot Alexei N. Grinchik at the controls, making it the first Soviet pure jet aircraft to take to the sky. It beat its competitor, the Yakovlev Yak-15 jet fighter, into the air by only an hour.
 
There are six skins included. One basic Soviet Silver version. One Soviet silver with lightning bolts. One People's Republic of China - silver with red nose and wingtips. One PRC solid green camoflage. One PRC Grey/Green Camoflage. One fictional Polish scheme.

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.
 
Templae by Sony Tuckson, internals and pylons by Sundowner.
 
**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
