Dhimari Decal Set
By Spinners
I thought I'd assemble together my Dhimari decals in one place for folks to try their hand at modding. So far, I've got 13 squadrons listed;
1.The Panthers (White & Green)
2. The Hawks (Black & Green)
3. The Bats (Black & White)
4. The Falcons (Red & Yellow)
5. The Leopards (Black & Yellow)
6. The Eagles (Green & Red)
7. The Rattlesnakes (Yellow & Green)
8. The Scorpions (Black & Red)
9. The Fennec Foxes (Yellow & White)
10. The Golden Jackals (Yellow & Dark Teal)
11. The Rams (Green and Blue)
12. The Ospreys (White & Red)
13. The Antelopes (Black,White & Green)
Each squadron has a simple checkerboard roundel marking, a checkerboard fin strip and a squadron badge.
It would be great to see what Dhimari aircraft you can come up with! Long live the King!

Hunter FGA.9 - 1970's Wittering Wing
By Spinners
Hawker Hunter FGA.9 - 1970's Wittering Wing for STRIKE FIGHTERS 1
This is a simple decal conversion of the sublime Third Wire Hunter FGA.9 to enable you to fly a mid-1970's era Hunter from the short-lived Wittering Wing that was created to keep RAF newly graduated ground-attack pilots 'current' whilst waiting for the Jaguar to enter service.
This will only work in 'Wings Over Europe' but you can, of course, also make it work in the other Third Wire Series One games by extracting and exporting all of the relevant files.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9w folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9w into your Decals folder.
Your stock Hunter FGA.9 will not be affected by this mod.

Thanks to TK for a great little game/sim.

RAF Decal Pack
By Spinners
As we're on the verge of wishing the RAF a Happy 100th Birthday (April 1st, 1918) I'm updating my RAF squadron marking decals for you to use on absolutely whatever you want - be it factual, fictual, historical or hysterical. As a keen 'what-iffer' I 'd especially like to see them appear where the shouldn't! So break out the Century Series, Mirages, MiGs and Sukhois and get 'whiffing' and remember to post your screenshots! I'd love to see them!
This decal set is also in the Series 2 section and that will be the one that gets updated from hereon in.

Kuwaiti Skyhawks - A-4KU/TA-4KU for SF2
By Nyghtfall
Kuwait Scooters - A-4KU/TA-4KU for SF2 - v1.0
==================================================
*** any SF2I that has the KfirC1_77 for the cockpit and DLC005 required for the A-4K model ***
This mods represents the A-4KU and TA-4KU Skyhawks used by Kuwait between 1977 and 1992.
In the 1970s Kuwait purchased 36 Skyhawks (30 single-seater + 6 two-seater). These planes were based upon A-4M, that were delivered to the USMC at that time. So they got the same engine, the larger canopy, the brakechute and the squared off fintip. Equipment needed to deliver nuclear weapons, aswell as Shrike- and Walleye were deleted. The TA-4KU were unique in having the same engine as the single-seater, aswell as the avionics hump. Apart from some aerials their appearance is similar to that of the OA-4M.
When Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990, many of the pilots flew with their planes to Saudi Arabia. They were included in the Royal Saudi Air Force and flew 1361 sorties with the loss of only 1 plane.
With the end of the Gulf War they were placed in storage and replaced by F/A-18 Hornets. After failed attempts to sell the surviving 23 planes to Bosnia and the Phillipines, they were finally sold to Brazil in 1997 to serve aboard the Aircraft Carrier Minas Gerais as AF-1 and AF-1A.
Infos
=====
- cockpit used is the modified KfirC1_77 cockpit, that is already used for my A-4M-mod. I only made small modifications to fit it the A-4KU.
- Pilotmodel is a stand-in, until someone comes up with a Kuwaiti Pilot :)
- Fakepilot-stuff like hump and the antennas are made with MUEs new Blender-exporter - as I already said and always will: Thank you, great job, mue!
- Skin resolution is 4096x4096
- Skins are set up for "No9SQN" as I only found the general info, that planes were used by "No. 9 and No. 25 squadrons" and both squadrons didn't
use any special markings it seems.

Installation
============
1. unzip to a temporary folder
2. open "Put_Content_In_Your_MOD_Folder" and do as you were told, if asked to overwrite, say 'yes' :P
3. enjoy!
If the Squadron is missing in the loadout screen, you should add the following lines in the squadronlist.ini ("<mod>\pilotdata"-folder) with XXX changed to the next free numbers:
[SquadronXXX]
Name=Kuwait_No9SQN
DisplayName=No. 9 Squadron
Nation=Kuwait

Hawker Hunter FGA.9 - RAF Far East Air Force
By Spinners
Hawker Hunter FGA.9 - RAF Far East Air Force
This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire Hunter FGA.9 to place it in service with the RAF's Far East Air Force in the 1961-1970 timeline. That really did happen but not with the Hunter wearing 'SEAC' national markings! New decals are included including 26 new tail serials and 26 new underwing serials.
BACKSTORY
The growing threat to Thailand, Cambodia and South Vietnam from nearby Communist states saw the deployment of the Hawker Hunter FGA.9's of No. 20 Squadron to the Far East Air Force in September 1961 followed by No.28 Squadron in July 1962. The Borneo Confrontation of 1963 saw this ground-attack wing deployed to Kuching and Labuan to commence offensive operations against Indonesian forces seeking to infiltrate across the Malaysia/Indonesia border on the island of Borneo. The Commander of the Far East Air Force, Air Marshal Sir Hector McGregor, ordered the re-introduction of the wartime 'SEAC' markings to avoid any potential confusion with the Indonesian Air Force's red and white national markings. Both squadrons were successful in helping to repel the border incursions by the Indonesians, despite the difficult terrain, and stayed in theatre until the Borneo Confrontation was declared over in August 1966 eventually departing in January 1967 when No.28 Squadron was disbanded and No.20 Squadron returned to Tengah.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9S folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9S folder into your Decals folder.
It goes without saying that you'll need the Third Wire Hunter FGA.9 from 'Wings Over Europe' for this to work but if you have 'Wings Over Israel' you can use a substitute 'stock' cockpit as the aircraft LOD's are in that game.
The folder designation FGA.9S is just to avoid conflict with the stock FGA.9 aircraft in 'Wings Over Europe'.

Boeing B-52K Stratofortress B.1
By Spinners
Boeing B-52K Stratofortress B.1 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 1
This is a 'what if' B-52K in service with Royal Air Force South East Asia Command with markings for No.9 Squadron. I've already done this for SF2 so thought I'd make it available for SF1 with a little change of decals.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the B-52K folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the B-52K into your Decals folder.
As this is a non-flyable I've included a makeshift cockpit which works best with cockpit toggle off as it leaves you with a fairly decent bombsight.

SF2 A-4 Skyhawk "Southland Scooters" Skin/Decals Pack
By Wrench
SF2 A-4 Skyhawk "Southland Scooters" Skin/Decals Pack 3/2/2018
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
*Can be used in any install that has access to the A-4C_65 & A-4F*
2 new skins for a couple of the stock 3W Skyhawks. These represent "local" A-4 units from
Southern California; my home turf! :) They are either Reserve Squadron (VA-305) or a Service,
Support, Training Unit (VC-7).
Also included for the A-4F, are a modified Data and loadout inis, correcting/adding to the
Mission tasking loadouts. Several new parts are included that correct and add the missing outer
Sidewinder rails. Both aircraft get the Player operated manual canopy, and landing light.
The skins included are for:
A-4C_65:
VA-305 "Lobos" based at NAS (now JFB) Los Alamitos *-see notes-*
A-4F:
VC-7 "Tallyhoers" (or Redtails) based at NAS Miramar
Skins are brand new, from Nyghtfall's templates, and are in jpg format. Most markings are
decals, excepting certain squadron tags on the tail fin & rudder (VC-7 and/or fuselage bands
(VA-305). These had to be painted on due to number-of-decals-per-mesh restrictions. All BuNums
are historiclly correct for aircraft used by both squardrons; unfortunately, they could not all
be matched to their corresponding Modex. On the Loadout screen's individual aircraft dropdown
listing, those marked with a star (*) are matched.
Also added, via Magical Ini Dancing (tm) are missile rails for the OUTBOARD pylons on the A-4F,
as is correct for all 5-hardpointed Skyhawks. These are added via the loadout ini through
various jiggery-pokery and at great expense. They are only used in the "Air-to-Air" tasking (and
Recon), and will/do not effect any Strike, CAS, Auntie-Ship or other attack missions.
These modification can also be added, using the same data ini edits, to all the A-4E and later
models. With some luck, they will =NOT= interfere with any of the Skyhawks released by
Nyghtfall. If in doubt, back up your original data and loadout inis before installing.
The canopy uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0.
When on the Loadout screen, for skin/squadron selection, on the Dropdown menu you'll see
A-4C_65:
VA-305 Lobos (NAS Los Alamitos 70/71)
A-4F:
VC-7 Redtails (NAS Miramar 1973-80)
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read
them .... Also, DO give the Notes section a read as well, for enlightenments, illuminations, and
general ramblings. With MANY thanks to Nyghtfall for his invaluable assistance!!! :)
Happy Landings!

SF2NA A-6E TRAM "Libyan Intruders"
By Wrench
SF2NA A-6E (TRAM) Intruder, VA-34,VA-55,VA-85 Early Lo-Viz Skin/Decals Pack 2/15/2018
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
*Can be used in any install that has access to the A-6E_79 (aka: TRAM)*
3 new skins for the 3W A-6E_79 Intruder that depict the 3 squadrons that participated in the
"Freedom of Navigation" exercises in the Gulf of Sidra during 1986, and subsequent strikes
against various Libyan targets (El Dorado Canyon).
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All serial (BuAerNums) are correct as they
are for the A-6E, but should be considered Generic (tm) in nature, not representing specific
aircraft in any particular squadron. In fact, all 3 skins use them as a 'pool' of decals.
The Default Start Date switch is used on this skin, so in 1983, you should see only these. The
skin maps are new; The aircraft is finished in the 2-tone Compass Ghost Grey over Medium Grey
scheme, with subdued markings (black and light grey). The skins are in jpg format.
The aircraft are:
VA-34 Blue Blasters, USS AMERICA
VA-55 Warhorses, USS CORAL SEA
VA-85 Black Falcons, USS SARATOGA
As these are 'stock' squadrons in the 3rd Wire listing, Level=1 decals are used to activate the
squadron name display. This should make it easy for campaign builders to use them in user-made
campaigns or single missions (like on Menrva's new Libyan terrain).
Please note, =NOTHING= is included that makes the aircraft flyable; no inis, cockpit parts (I
use the Razbam payware pit on my A-6E & A-6E TRAMs). You should have made them flyable or need
to seek the "parts" on your own.
Also, if you have made it flyable, and use the "Read Only" trick on the main ini (A-6E_79.ini),
you'll have to un-read only it to add this skin.
While specificly designed for the A-6E_79, this mod =should= be compatible with the A-6 Intruder
MegaPack by Homefries; the skins use unique squadron named folders and should not conflict or
interfere with it (even though said squadrons also exist in his pack, as Level=1 statments,
selectable from the Squadron Dropdown on the Loadout screen). Please note the "1983" start date
is an arbitrary year, based on my research as a "best guess".
On the Loadout Screen, for skin selection you'll see:
VA-34 Blue Blasters (2-Tone 1983)
VA-55 Warhorses (2-Tone 1983)
VA-85 Black Falcons (2-Tone 1983)
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read
them ....
Happy Landings!

MiG-29A Ukrainian 40th Air Wing Vasilkov 1993 after overhauling at Lviv Aviation Repairing Plant.
nstallations: extract to your mod folder, you need installed MiG-29A. Check the folders names!
I can't find white numbers and used blue ones, common to Ukrainian Air Force, but for this camo they are not correct.
Thanx to person who did decal numbers, i got it from NATO fighters mod. Sorry, I do not know who is it.

F-14A Tomcat - Ejercito Del Aire Ala 12 (What If)
By Spinners
Grumman F-14A Tomcat - Ejercito del Aire
This is a 'what if' F-14A Tomcat in service with the Ejercito del Aire with markings for 121, 122 and 123 Escuadrons of 12 Ala (12th Wing). The EDA 'Iberian Camo' is actually the stock Iranian Air Force skin by Column5 and Sundowner and it really does suit the Ejercito del Aire markings - especially if you use gepard's superb Israel 2 terrain (recommended).
BACKSTORY
By the late 1970's the Phantom F-4C's of 12 Ala (12th Wing) were becoming increasingly long in the tooth and the Ejercito del Aire urgently sought a replacement. McDonnell Douglas appeared to have the upper hand with no less than three products on offer;
The F-4E Phantom (still in low-rate production).
The F-15C Eagle.
The F/A-18A Hornet.
However, during 1978 the situation in Iran was becoming increasingly unstable and by January 1979 the Shah of Iran had fled in exile. An immediate arms embargo to Iran soon followed and Grumman were left with a considerable number of undelivered and now undeliverable Iranian F-14A Tomcats.
A formal approach to Spain was made by Grumman and agreement was soon reached for the supply of 30 F-14A's to replace the Phantom F-4C's of No.121 and No.122 Escuadrons with a small follow-on batch of 10 F-14R's to supplement and eventually replace the RF-4C's of No.123 Escuadron. The F-14A Tomcat gave good service to the Ejercito del Aire before being phased out during 2009 and replaced by Boeing Hornet F/A-18F's.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-14A_EDA folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-14A_EDA into your Decals folder.
I've simplified this download by reverting to stock items so now go and fly the Tomcat in Ejercito del Aire markings!
CREDITS
Thanks to TK for a great little game/sim.
Special thanks to The Mirage Factory for creating the lovely F-14A Tomcat. The original Read Me is in this packand there's some legendary names in there - thanks to one and all!
And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
