Just a quick errata sheet for the USMC Skyraider skins I released last month, I just noticed a glaring error, ie I had misnumbered the decals in the decal.ini on 3 of the skins I uploaded that is for VMA212 - 251 - 333 causing the tail numbers to be errr rather truncated on the right side of the fin.....ooops !! 
So, here are the 3 corrected decal.ini's for the relevant skins, just rename them ie just delete the names I have put on them for reference, and rename EACH one "Decals" and drop them into the relevant skin folder and allow it to over write the existing decal.ini file if you didnt delete it first of course, oh yes, I had also forgotten to enable the prop decals on those 3 skins so that has been rectified as well.
Totally my bad here, I shall be having strong words with my quality control department , apologies for the error , silly me !!   

WW2 Allied Bombing Range - Final-                5/1/2018
- For SF2, Any & All (Full-4/5 Merged Reccomended)
**Please note, you should have SF2 for this terrain references many stock items from the Desert.cat.However, instructions are provided to use other terrain cats.*** 
This is a major overhaul of Several of the target areas on the Allied Bombing Range. This is designed =ONLY= for WW2 Allied usage. It can be used for practice by any and all of the Allied nations. There are a myriad of targets, both the old and newer ones, to hone you skills in level and dive bombing, strafing with guns and/or rockets (for those aircraft equipped). I intend THIS to be the Final Version.
It =WILL= replace all earlier versions of the Allied Bombing Range, so you'll need to backup, move/remove or delete any older version you may have.
Like the revamped modern range terrains, it has been retiled in an "IME" desert style with the addition of a water feature for anti-shipping. See "Change Log" in the Notes section for more details
As is reccomended, unzip this archive to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. It's reccomended you -READ- this document (THIS readme), expecially the "To Install" section, after unzipping, but =BEFORE= installing.
 
As always, the Notes and Other Nonesense section may make for entertaining reading. 
Please also read the Standard Usage Discalimer, as it's been changed slightly to reflect a change in my policy. It's listed at the bottom, in the Legal Statement Section, with the URL back to the CA post.
Happy Hunting!

SF2 WW2 Spitfire Mk.VA by Coupi/Mod Mafia/TMF            5/10/2018
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*Note: This mod may not work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs at any patch level, due to the excessive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment. End Users (tm) that attempt to do so, do so at their own risk.*
This is a modification of the TMF Spitfire MK.1A to the early VA version; this mark uses the "A" wing with 8 303 caliber machine guns.
This is the Vickers/Supermarine Spitfire Mk.VA. This pak contains skins/decal set for the following RAF Squadrons:
No. 92
There are 2 skins; one Dark Earth/Dark Green/Sky (pre-1942) and Medium Sea Gray/Dark Green/light grey for post-1942. The SF2 Date Switch is used to turn on the later skin in November, 1941
All skins are in jpg format, Decal Randomization is TRUE. Serial numbers, while not matched to plane-in-squadron letters, are all correct for Mk.Vs used by 92 Squadron. Those marked with a star (*) fall into the correct sequencing for those aircraft built as the 8-gunned Va version.
The canopy/entry door open with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0. For those RAF Squadron listed in the game's SquadronList.ini, my 'fake sqtail' decal will activate their "Displayed Name" on the LoadoutScreen.
When 'in game', you'll see 
"Spitfire Mk.Va (TMF)" 
on the aircraft drop-down selection window.  The Official Squadron Crest (tm) is used for the 'paint chip' for each skin.
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please READ them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too for futher explinations, clarifactions, illuminations and so forth. 
Good Hunting!

------------------------------------------------
=TO INSTALL:
As I always reccomend, unzip the "sf2_ww2_eto_spit5a_tmf_pak.zip" to a temp folder or your desktop or somewhere else that's easy to find
Then, simply, copy/paste the Objects folder supplied directly =OVER= your existing /Objects folder.
Copy/Paste the Sound folder over your existing /Sounds folder.
Odds are, you have the engine sound already, but I like to upload as complete as possible products
 
You'll probably be asked "OVERWRITE?", just say Yes. 
I've already seperated out the various folders (Aircraft, Decals, etc), so they'll drop right where they're supposed to be.
----------------------------
Historically, No.164 Argentine-British also flew the Va. They used the "FJ" code on their aircraft. I'm sure there are other units, but haven't been able to run them down accurately. So, it's easier to just stay with No.92, as the Vb & c cannon armed versions were soon in service.
As this aircraft LOD lacks the hardpoints the Mk.V had, I've used  the Fake Pilot Method (tm) to add ONLY the centerline station for a drop tank.

For those not following the "Tips & Tweeks" Thread in the SF2 WW2 Forum, this is a package of data inis for the Bristol Beaufighter by Cocas Aircraft Factory
This package contains data inis with adjusted hitboxes and some armor upgrades, but a new flight model for ALL the ETO (northern European used) Bristol Beaufighters that Cocas and I did.
These are:
Mk.1 (early and late)
NF MK.1 (early and late)
Mk.1C (ITF)
Mk.VI (early)
Mk. VIC, Mk.VIC,  Mk.VIF (early and lates)
TFX (early and late -with and withOUT thimble nose)
the roll rate is still a little higher than as described, but it's improved over the original release
Instructions For Use:
Unzip, as always reccomended, to a temp folder or you desktop. Then, copy/paste the /Objects folder from the zip DIRECTLY over you /Objects folder in you WW2 ETO centric mods folder. Each of the above listed aircraft has, of course, their own folder within. Also provided is a backed up copy of the original data ini, for safety's sake.
At some point in time, the MTO and PTO theatre specific versions will be uploaded. Eventually, I'll be trying to update each individual aircraft's package. But there's a LOT of Beaus, and only so much time..
Enjoy!

Kevin Stein

The package contains new data inis for the C-97 & HC-97 Stratofreighter. This new inis have all new adjusted hit boxes, the addition of missing or (previously) unnamed components, and the re-arrangement of systems to the new components.
The aircraft package itself has also been updated for those that haven't downloaded these aircraft yet. Existing users will NOT have to re-download the entire package. THIS set is designed for that update/upgrade.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
Simply unzip, as always reccomended, to a temp folder or your desktop. Then, copy/Paste, move, however you wish to, the included /Objects folder directly OVER the existing Objects folder in whichever SF2 mods folder you have these aircraft installed to. Allow the Overwrite. A back-up copy of the original data ini for both aircraft is included, so no need to back up you originals.
Enjoy!

Here are the templates for the T-45A for anyone who wants to improve on what I did...Have Fun.

Soviet NAVY AEW&C Yakovlev Yak-44 [DRLOiU-Dalnee RadioLokatsionnoe Obnarujenie i Upravlenie]
Histiry
Yak-44 - Deck aircraft of radar surveillance, guidance and control (RPLNU / DRLOiU) and electronic countermeasures (EW).

Developed by OKB im. AS Yakovlev in the mid-70's. The prototype of the Yak-44 (Yak-44RLD) aircraft was the American E-2 "hawk of the eye". The basing of the aircraft was supposed on the atomic aircraft carrier of project 1143.7 "Ulyanovsk".

Because of the difficulties in developing on-board equipment, only the Yak-44 model was built.
In 1993, the work was frozen due to lack of funding.

SF2 Upgrade Pack For Soviet Transports,Airliners and AWAC Aircraft by Veltro2K        5/23/2018
= For SF2, Any/All (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED!) =
This is a remod pack for Veltro2k's Soviet/WarPac Transport, Airliner and AWAC aircraft. This package =ONLY= contains the data inis for the aircraft listed below. You will still need to locate the original aircraft.
It is highly suggested (read: REQUIRED) that you have SF2NA as part of your merged installs, as several of these reference the stock 3W Tu-95 Bear destroyed model. Some reference the stock 3W An-12 destroyed model as well. 
All New Data Inis Included in the pack are for:
A-50 Mainstay (AWAC)
An-22 Cock
IL-38 May (ASW/Martime Patrol)
IL-76 Candid
IL-78 Midas
Tu-95A Bear-A
Tu-95MS Bear-H
Tu-104 Camel (Aeroflot Airliner
Tu-144 Cleat (Aeroflot Airliner)
Tu-126 Moss (AWAC)
All aircraft have had their data inis reworked to correct, add, move or generally "fix" all the hit boxes, relocate components (ie: fuel tanks, as best as possible inside the airframe) and in general clean up many things that simply escaped notice. The exception here is the Tu-104, which get a partly repainted skin, with all new 100% accurate civil registration number decals (18), and an avionics upgrade (GM radar).
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.
Happy Landings!

This is a tutorial which I made long time ago for a friend who had installed SF2 
and wanted to play multiple campaigns. Since he didn't know how to create mod 
folders he requested some help and that's the reason I made it. There's a related 
post at SF2 Knowledge Base which can be found here:
https://combatace.com/forums/topic/62302-what-is-the-mod-folder/
However this tutorial is far more instructive since it was made for people who are 
unaware of how to install mods. I decided to upload it since it might be useful
for begginers.

To be used on SF2 S-2F Tracker by the Dev A-Team
You will get the following skins in this package :
Reworked :
CANA
New :
RCAF 1970    
RCAF 1980    
RCAF 1990

Installation:
Copy the current pack objects/aircraft folder in your game S-2F aircraft folder.
Copy the current pack objects/decals folder in your game S-2F decals folder.
Copy the S-2F.ini and S-2F_DATA.ini to the game S-2F aircraft folder.
On the original skin (reworked one), i only did minor corrections so all credits goes to the original persons.
For the reworked one's, all done by me.
RCAF serials and plane numbers are real one's and changes have been made to them to reflect the S-2F to CP-121 modex when change occured.
Note on RCAF skins:
I did not do the 2 other ''first scheme'' and the alternate 1980 one as i did not find it relevant and they were short lived too.

Thanks to Thirdwire for creating the Strike Fighters series.
Thanks to those involved in the original aircraft.

Nanchang Q-5A 'Fantan' for Strike Fighters 1
This is a simple mod of the excellent Nanchang Q-5/A-5 Fantan brought to us by 101tfs, Erwin_Hans and friends back in 2008 to make a fictional export version for the Mongolian Air Force. This mod uses the famous 'ordway' MiG-19S pit and the original cockpit 'read me' is included in the aircraft folder - it's certainly worth a read.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the Aircraft folder drag and drop the Q-5A into your Aircraft folder.
That's it! I like to keep things simple so I use stock weapons and effects.

CREDITS
Thanks to TK for a great little game/sim.
Big thanks to Erwin_Hans, 101tfs and friends.
Big thanks also to Richard Pitts2A Ordway for the Mig-19 cockpit.
And special thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

SF2 Upgrade Pack For Western Transports, Airliners and AWACs by Veltro2K    6/1/2018
= For SF2, Any/All (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED!) =
This is a remod pack for Veltro2k's Western/NATO Transport, Airliner and AWAC aircraft. This package =ONLY= contains the data inis for the aircraft listed below. You will still need to locate the original aircraft.
It is highly suggested (read: REQUIRED) that you have SF2NA as part of your merged installs, as several of these reference the stock 3W Tu-95 Bear destroyed model. Some reference the stock 3W An-12, Tu-16 or B-52D (SF2V) destroyed models as well. Flight Models remain "as issued"; they've not been touched by me.
All New Data Inis Included in this pack are for:
C-5A Galaxy
C-17 Globemaster II
C-141A Starlifter
C-141B Starlifter
G-222/C-27 Spartan
E-767
KC-767 (KC-46)
Nimrod MR.1 (RAF ASW/Martime Patrol)
Br.1150 Atlantique  (ASW/Martime Patrol)
PB-1W Navy Fortress (USN 1940s/50s AEW - B-17)
DC-8 *
B-747  Pan Am"Jumbo Jet"
*The DC-8 mods are for the package by Daddyairplanes*

All aircraft have had their data inis reworked to correct, add, move, remove or generally "fix" all the hit boxes, relocate components (ie: fuel tanks, as best as possible inside the airframe) and in general clean up many things that simply escaped notice. The exception here is the Pan Am 747, which gets a partly repainted skin, with all new 100% accurate civil registration number decals (18) AND their matching "Clipper" names. Decal Randomization is "TRUE". The 747 and DC-8s also get an avionics upgrade (GM radar). Some sounds are included; you may have them alread, or not; but I like "to be sure".
Please note, some of these aircraft may NOT be in the SF2 downloads section; one will need to Search the SF1/Wo* (1stGen) downloads. Equally important, is to HAVE the aircraft installed =BEFORE= installing this Upgrade Pack. Kinda makes sense, right? <gr>
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.

AV-8B Harrier II. 
This is my humble rework of AV-8B.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) 
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
 
Around 2 years ago - January 2016 -  KillerBee approach me with the possibility of updating bobrock's harrier.  After some time, we had prepared the updated file ready for upload. Small changes here and there corrected few things. And great skins by Killerbee.
And then KillerBee disappeared from CA forum. Honestly, up to now, I have no contact with him. last - 4th May 2016. 
So harrier stayed on drive waiting for his comeback. But .... I couldn't resist...And iI started to mod this again. Since I had no KB skin templates I had to do all new skins...and more.
So now I am here...
It ended with a new cockpit and a whole set of new skins and decals on whole remodeled 'old' Harrier. - there is no single part of an original model that hasn't be touched/remodeled etc.
First of all...If you want to count rivets....Do not. 
Many things could be done other way....but I did it my way. So you have to bear with it.
All skins are in 4096x4096 format. So you can easily resize down. If you have problems running this in game. Resize skins to lower resolutions
Decals are based on my and KillerBee research. All serials are correct for the first version of Harrier II. Not always (but mostly) correct for a unit/year of service etc.
Big Thanks to Ravenclaw - He send me file with new ALQ-164 pod. Now it is part of the upload. 
You will find separate upload soon with Operation Desert Storm skins and decals - Only units that participated in the operation.
For some reason, I have added weapons that are present in Loadout.ini. 
Animations:
1= canopy open - close
4= refueling probe - beware of a speed limit

SF2 VF-51 F-4B & F-4N Phantom (Mytai) Skin/Decal Pak                  7/14/2018
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) and/or SF2:V + DLC 23 =
*Can be used in any install that has access to the F-4B_67 which is stock in all merged installs.  You =MUST= also have DLC #23, the 3rd Wire F-4N Phantom. 
This package contains 3 revamped & updated skins, now for SF2, originally created by Mytai01 in 2005(ish) for SF1. These skin represent VF-51 "Screaming Eagles" deployed to Southeast Asia during Vietnam War cruises. This skins are:
F-4B_67:
VF-51 (1971) embarked aboard USS CORAL SEA (NL code)
VF-51 (1973) -same as above
F-4N (DLC #23):
VF-51 (1974) -same as above

The differences are various paint schemes, and include both CAG and line birds. All 3 skins are new builds, from Sundowner's template. The skins are in jpg format. All decals from the original Mytai pack have been reused. The dates listed are for the deployment years. The SF2 "date switch" is =NOT= used on these skins.
When on the load out screen, on the skin selection widow, you'll see:
F-4B_67:
VF-51 Screaming Eagles 71 (Mytai)
VF-51 Screaming Eagles 73 (Mytai)
F-4N:
VF-51 Screaming Eagles 74 (Mytai)
As VF-51 is a stock, listed squadron, this will help diferentiate these from 'generic' 3W skins. It also honors Mytai for his work in creating them so long ago.
Decal randomization has been set to "TRUE". Included are "newish" data inis for both aircraft. The data inis now incorporate manually operating (meaning: you, the player can now) wingfold and canopy operation. Both use the Standard Animations Keystrokes (tm), Shift/9 for wings and Shift/0 (zero) for the canopy. 
Also included, within each skin folder, are all of Mytai's original research material that came with the 1stGen Package. This inlcudes photos and other text files.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... 
Remember!! You must have DLC #23 to gain access to the F-4N!!
Happy Landings!

SF2 WW2 PTO RAAF B-24J No.21 Squadron Skins/Decals Pak                   7/20/2018
 -- Something for the SWP PTO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
A new set skins for the B-24J Liberator by Veltro2K. It represents No.21 Squadron, RAAF as used in the Southwest Pacific Theatre of Operation from 1944 through the war's end.
The aircraft is in "natural metal" finish, and all markings are decals.

Turkey is one of the very first countries to receive the F-104Gs within the MAP program. As a preparation for the new aircraft the 144th Squadron was organised at the 4th AB in Mürted-Ankara. The first 15 aircraft arrived on May 10th,1963 by sea and they were deployed at the newly founded squadron in July. In July 1963 two TF-104gs arrived and they were also assigned to the same squadron. This was followed by Canadair produced 18 F-104Gs and 2 TF-104Gs. The shipment continued in 1965 with 5 more Canadair built F-104Gs. All of these planes were deployed at the 144th Squadron. In 1968 3 pcs F-104G and 1 pc TF-104G were received from USAF.
The TuAF faced with the US embargo after the Cyprus peace-keeping Operation ordered a batch of 18 F-104S from Italy. 6 of the planes were delivered within the same year and the remainder in 1975 on the basis of the planes per month. In 1975 the purchase was risen to 40 planes all which were received within 1976.
The CF-104s, F-104Gs, TF-104Gs and the RF-104Gs which were strated being replaced by more modern aircraft were despatched to Turkey. This operation included 17 pcs F-104Gs from Belgium, 43 pcs F-104Gs & 12 pcs TF-104Gs from Holland, 12 pcs RF-104G and one TF-104G from Norway and 165 pcs F-104Gs and 36 pcs TF-104Gs from Germany. Canada also promised to hand over the CF-104s after being replaced by the F-18A/Bs. In 1986 44 pcs CF-104G & 6 pcs CF-104D were received. These planes were allocated to the 181st and to the 182nd Squadrons.
 Within the elapsing time the TuAF F-104Gs started aging and they were withdrawn from active duty one by one. Some were even used as spare parts for those which were still in active duty. The last ones were the CF-104s of the 182nd Squadron when replaced by F-16C/Ds in 1996.
