This pak contains ONLY psd templates for:

As they stand, they're quite basic. As always, further improvements and enhancements are WELCOMED and more than encouraged!!

SF2 P-51D/K Mustang by Crisis Remod Pack       1/28/2024
-For SF2, Any and All-
Another 1stGen Salvage Project...
This is an SF2 Remod of P-51D Mustang by crisis. Historically this was one of the first aircraft mods released for SF1 in approx 2008. While the model still has some issues (see "Notes"), it's fully functional, and has been upgraded for the SF2 environment. I believe this will be a complimentary aircraft for the stock 3W Mustang (and others).
This mod is supplied with just about all the original skin sets I could find from the 1stGen SF mods section and from Marcfighters archive. Unfortunately, several were not up to snuff, with inaccurate coloration, or had painted-on markings that make it impossible to allow the use of the superb 3W decal system. Therefore several, while replicating the originals, are new builds. These were made from a new template, and it is included. These skin sets cover US Army Air Force (WW2 ETO), USAF (post-war), Korean War units for the USAF, RoKAF, SAAF, and Israeli Air Force directly post-WW2 and during the 1956 Suez Crisis.. Several of the included skins make use of decal sets I created for other mods, as you all know how I hate to waste good decals!!! :)
You will find herein ...
USAAF/USAF:
362nd FS,357th FG (ETO) -1944 start date (NMF)
375th FS, 361st FG (ETO) -Sept, 1944 start date (Camo/NMF/Invasion Stripes under wing/fues)
"USAFSilver", Generic NMF -10/1947 start date
12th FBS, 18th FBG (Korea) -1950 start date
SAAF:
2 Sqdn, SAAF "Flying Cheetahs" -1950 start date
IDFAF:
No.101 Sqdn (NMF) -1948 start date
No.116 Sqdn Blue/Brown Camo (1956<) -Suez Crisis camo scheme
RoKAF:
51st PFS* (ROKAF) -Korean War. #18 is Col. Dean Hess' aircraft, with nose art
*=Provisional Fighter Squadron
98.6% of the markings are decals, with some small exceptions (see notes). Decal randomization is TRUE.
While many skins had to be remade, some are still 'as issued' (un-retouched). All remain in bmp format. As is usual, serial numbers & 'plane in squadron letters' (WW2 & Korea) are as historically accurate as possible. Those fully 100% matched are marked with the star (*), those correct, but unable to match to a individual code letter are marked with the plus/cross (+), those with no mark are generic.
For those units listed in the game's SquadronList ini, my (patent pending) 'fake SqTail' decal is used to activate their name displayed on the Loadout screen. The SF2 'date switch' is used for all services on their respective skin sets.
Sounds and drop tanks are included. All weapons used are also included. If you End Users (tm) have the SF2I expansion that adds the Mustang and WW2 era weapon, feel free to edit the loadout ini to use those stock in-game 3rd Wire items. The data ini has been brought up, as much as possible, to current standards. The FM test drives as fully compatable with SF2.
When in-game, you'll see
P-51D/K Mustang (cr)
on the Aircraft Selection dropdown. This "(cr)" will differenize this one from the 3rd Wire or Wolf357's (and variations thereof). This mod DOES (sorta) cover both the D & K variants, as there's very little (actual) difference between them (one built in Inglewood, CA -D; the other in Dallas, TX -K; albeit with a different prop). Canopy acutation uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0.
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. Also, give the "Notes" a browse, as it explains certain issues this model has, and the change logs.
Good Hunting and Happy Landings!

The 65th Aggressor Squadron stationed at Naris Air Force Base operated F-15C fighter jets from 2005 to 2014, and used a variety of unique Schemes. This mod is one of the two types they have used. I will use it in the game Called "Blue" and "Tan" in
Made this for my personal campaign "Red Flag", based on the F-15C, to share with you all.
Special thanks to:
Fast Cargo provides a great collection of F-15 packs for the community
Viper63 added accurate machine number decals to his Aggressor pack
usage:
1. Put the "65AGRS_Blue" and "65AGRS_Tan" folders into your F-15C module;
2. Put the "Decals" folder into: your SF2 directory\Objects;
3. Start the game and start your F-15C, the game will automatically inject data.

Here's my set of 5 what-if USAF skins for the F-23A Black Widow II by Dels. The pack contains skins for 1st FS, 7th FS, 12th FS, 19th FS and 27th FS.

IAR 80/81 PACK.
I was not originally going to release this pack, as I was unsure of the reaction to a relativley unknown ( unfortunately ) Fighter. but after the relative success of the PZL's I uploaded last week, I though it would be nice to send these IAR's your way too. The IAR's were only ever used by the Romanians, and was in service until the early 50's so that in itself speaks volumes about this rather attractive aircraft. 
Anyway, this is a slight rework of Pasko's IAR 80A and 81C, I have also included a <cough> alternative and completely "What if" IAR 80P I shall let you look and see at to what  THAT is all about !!! 
 
So, the details, I have edited the original skins, and have reworked ALL the decals, I have added the stencilling as accurately as I could, but there maybe a few errors here and there in the actual positioning of them, as finding detailed pictures of the type is just not there. The stencilling is very sparse, so I think I have got it mainly right ( I hope !! ) I have updated the sounds, and the weapons loadouts, as for some unknown reason, the original bomb loadouts were wrong, So the 80A now carries ONLY 2, 50Kg bombs under the wings, and the 81C has the centreline 250Kg and 2, 50Kg under wing bombs. The 80P however has the original loadout, because why not, it is a "What if" innit hehehehehe. The "real" IAR's in this pack carry German weapons, and are armed with for the 80A 6,  7.9mm FN Brownings, and the 81C has 2 MG151 20mm,s and only 2 of the FN Brownings . The 90P's are armed with ITALIAN bombs, 50, 100, and 250 KG's and gun armament  comprises of 4,  Breda SAFAT 7.7 mm MG's and a pair of Breda SAFAT 12.7mm MG's.
All the markings have been replaced from the original ones, which I found too bright and "in yer face" and then I added on the differing markings from later years. 
Everything is included in the pack, aircraft, decals, guns, pilots, weapons, and sounds. I have boxed everything up so it just a drag and drop kinda deal. One point though, please please PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE ensure that the  file  GunBarrel20mm is in the Pilots folder, or else you will end up with a very odd looking aircraft ( this is for the 81C. )  I also swapped out the Cockpit, as the faux Spitfire one looked awful, so it is now the YAK 9 one instead, not accurate, as all the dials are in Russian, but it does look better.............Well in my humble opinion it does at least. All the sounds I used are in the sounds folder, including the sounds for the guns. 
That as they say, is a wrap.
 
I forgot to credit Starfighter, for the Yak Cockpit, apologies to him for that ommision.
 
AS ALWAYS...........................ENJOY !!!        

XPUxthemeDLLPatch.zip
This is the part 2 download for the WW1 Aircraft WinXP desktop theme. This is a patched file for windows XP's uxtheme.dll. This isn't necessary to install to make the theme work, but using it will allow the WoodGrain.msstyles file included to change the color scheme of the taskbar, windows frames, etc. to a sort of wood grain pattern that matches the look of the desktop theme. If the patched uxtheme.dll file isn't used to overwrite your original windows uxtheme.dll file, the WoodGrain.msstyles file won't work. The WWI Aircraft theme will still work, just not the color scheme. So, using this patched file is optional. For those who would like to use the patched uxtheme.dll file, I've included an MS Word document that gives explicit instructions on how to replace the stock windows uxtheme.dll file. The only part in the Word document you don't have to follow is where it tells where to go and download the patched file, I've included them in this download. One is for windows with service pack 1 and the other is for service pack 2.

Strike Fighters/Wings Over Vietnam/Wings Over Europe etc Gloster Gladiator and Sea Gladiator skins readme
 
These skins are for the Gloster Gladiator MkI, MkII and Sea Gladiator aircraft released by the SFP1 Dev A-Team. The aircraft may be downloaded from the Dev A Team website at http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/
 
All credit for these skins goes to their creators as detailed below. All I've done is to re-format them for SF\WOV\WOE and add a textureSet to each skin.
 
 
All you need to do is to extract the skin to your Objects\Aircraft\Gladiator (or Gladiator1 or SeaGladiator as appropriate) folder, then go fly and blow up some stuff.
 
 
Thanks must go to the A Team for making the Gladiators for SF\WOV\WOE, Thicko for the original Gladiators, and of course TK for giving us these great sims to play with.
 
This skin is based on Morton's excellent textures and converted with his kind permission. Morton also prepared the enclosed .pdf detailing the exploits of these Gladiators on 9 April 1940.
 
Enjoy, and good hunting.
 
Allen
 
ps You can use these skins in any mods, campaigns etc, but please name check me and the original skinners in your credits as a courtesy. Thanks

Hello!
Here's a set of skins for Thirdwire's Spitfires LF Mk. IX's for D-Day campaigns. National markings and D-Day ID bands are painted-on.
You'll need Strike Fighters 2 Expansion Pack 1 for the Spitfires.
Just drop in the aircraft folders and fly!
Thanks to Thirdwire for the 3D models.

This is a bug fix for the random crashing issue of the Kamchatka 250m tile set update released by Stary in below link
Kamchatka 250m version with adjusted tileset etc - Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements - CombatACE
 
If you are using the original Kamchatka 2.0 terrain released by Baltika, this is not applicable and you should avoid using it.
 
 
Beautiful landscape tile. However it crashes randomly when flying in certain area or dropping bombs to airfields. The key issue is some incorrect file assignment in DATA.ini and how SF2 handles files in different season folders.
It took me a long time to figure out. Hopefully this can help you as well. 
 
Installation:
1. Before everything, backup your KAMCHATKA_DATA.INI in your terrains folder. In case this breaks something else you have modded.
2. Extract the file contents and overwrite file if asked to terrains/KAMCHATKA folder
