SF2 A-4B Skyhawk VA-95 Det Q Skin/Decals Pack
By Wrench
SF2 A-4B Skyhawk VA-95 Det Q 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-4B*
A new skin for the A-4B Skyhawk. Also included, are a modified Data and loadout inis, correcting/adding to the Mission tasking loadouts, Player operated manual canopy, and the landing light.
The skin included is for:
VA-95, Det.Q
embarked aboard USS BENNINGTON (CVS-20) circa 1964/64, in the Western Pacific
When in-game, on the skin selection dropdown panel, you'll see:
VA-95 Det Q (CVS-20,1964)
Skins remain in their "as issued via 3W" stock bmp format. Most markings are decals, excepting certain color tags or other markings on the rudder These had to be painted on due to number-of-decals-per-mesh restrictions. There are 10 Modex and serial numbers (BuNums). All BuAerNums ARE historiclly correct; but not all could be matched to their corresponding Modex.
Historically speaking, these A-4 squadrons (and/or detachments) were assigned to the Essex class carriers that had been convered to "CVS" or anti-submarine warfare carriers. The Skyhawks embarked were not only tasked with light strike, but Combat Air Patrols to protect the ship and the ASW assets.
The canopy uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0.
When in-game, on the skin selection dropdown panel, you'll see:
VA-93 Det Q (CVS-20,1964)
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
Happy Landings!

Hunter FGA.9 - No.8 squadron RAF
By Spinners
Hawker Hunter FGA.9, No.8 Squadron, Royal Air Force for STRIKE FIGHTERS 1
This is a quick decal conversion of the sublime Third Wire Hunter FGA.9 to enable you to fly a No.8 squadron machine.
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. Since originally releasing this I've added Syrinx's fuselage serial numbers for the Hunter and included a nice loading screen and tweaked the hangar screen to give it 1960's three colour roundels.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9 folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9 into your Decals folder.
CREDITS
Thanks to TK for a great little game/sim.
Thanks to former member Syrinx for making the fuselage serial numbers.
And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

McDonnell Douglas Hornet F.2 (F/A-18F)
By Spinners
McDonnell Douglas Hornet F.2 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 1
This is a 'what if' RAF Hornet F.2 interceptor with markings for No.5 squadron of the Royal Air Force.
Erwin_hans was good enough to release a blank skin so it was a easy to knock-up an RAF Superbug. This is a fine add-on aircraft for 'Strike Fighters 1' and 101tfs and Erwin_hans have created a true masterpiece - one of the very best add-ons available and I'd like to thank them for their hard work in bringing this aeroplane to us. Please note that in this revision I've simplified the effects and sounds to use stock files and you'll want to change the loadout.ini to suit the weapons you've got as, again, I've left it to stock.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the HORNETF2 folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the HORNETF2 into your Decals folder.
P.S. Remember to set your Single Mission EndYear=2010,2020,2040 or whatever in your Options.Ini!

Thunderstreak FGA.2 - RAF SEAC
By Spinners
Republic Aviation Thunderstreak FGA.2 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 1
This is a 'what if' Thunderstreak FGA.2 with markings for No.31 squadron in a SEA Camo by whiteknight06604.
Regarding the Thunderstreak in RAF service then there is no backstory but perhaps the UK needed some muscle when the Supermarine Swift started going pear-shaped!
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the THUNDERSTREAKFGA2 folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the THUNDERSTREAKFGA2 folder into your main Decals folder.
Please note that I've simplified things by using the stock F-105 tanks.
CREDITS
Special thanks to the guys listed below - great work and especially the flight model!
Thanks to whiteknight06604 for the SEA Camo for his Greek F-84F.

F-84I 'Sharav' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 1 (WOI c/w Add-On)
By Spinners
Republic Aviation F-84I 'Sharav' for Wings Over Israel c/w Add-On
The Armee de l'Air received its first F-84F Thunderstreaks in 1955 and it was in French service that the Thunderstreak saw its only actual combat during the Suez Crisis of October 1956. French Thunderstreaks from the 3rd Escadre moved to RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus whilst the 1st Escadre were deployed to the Israeli base at Lyddia where they supported the Israeli forces that invaded Sinai on October 29th. Despite seeing intensive action only one F-84F was lost and the tough and rugged aircraft so impressed the Israeli Air Force that they ordered 50 F-84F-70-RE aircraft before the end of 1956. The F-84F-70-RE featured the more powerful J65-W-7 rated at 7,800lbs thrust which helped with the initial climb rate and the combat ceiling and these were among the last Thunderstreak's to roll off the Farmingdale production line in the Summer of 1957.
In 1962 the entire Israeli F-84F fleet was grounded due to the same corrosion of control rods that had affected the F-84F worldwide but they were soon restored to full operational capacity, eventually serving with distinction during the 1967 Six Day War and surviving in Israeli service until 1973 when stress corrosion eventually forced the retirement of the Israeli F-84F fleet.
Ignoring by own backstory I've given the 'Sharav' Suez stripes and a 1956 start date! I've previously released this in SF2 but thought it would be nice to release it in SF1 but please note that it does require both Wings Over Israel and the Add-On Expansion Pack.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-84I folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-84I folder into your Decals folder.
CREDITS
Thanks to TK and Third Wire for a great little game/sim.

Corsair GR.2 - RAF Strike Command
By Spinners
LTV Corsair GR.2 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 1
This is a simple re-paint and 'ini' edit of Florian's (Amokfloo) superb TA-7E Corsair II to give a 'what-if' Corsair GR.2 of the Royal Air Force circa 1975. I did this skin back in 2008 and apologise for it being a bit rough but I just love the RAF camo schemes of that era and slightly later, especially with the 'B' type (Blue/Red) roundels. Apart from adding a screenshot for the downloads section I've just added some serial numbers.
Anyway, Florian's original readme is below and I'd like to thank him for his good work and also echo his thanks
to triplethr3at and Armourdave.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the CORSAIRGR2 folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the CORSAIRGR2 into your Decals folder.

SF2 A-4B Skyhawk VA-12 Skin/Decals Pack
By Wrench
SF2 A-4B Skyhawk VA-12 Skin/Decals Pack 2/25/2018
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
*Can be used in any install that has access to the A-4B*
A new skin for the A-4B Skyhawk. The skin included is for:
VA-12 Flying Ubangis ,
as embarked aboard USS Shangri-la (CVA-38), in the North Atlantic & Mediterranean circa 1960/61
Skins remain in their "as issued via 3W" stock bmp format. Most markings are decals, excepting certain squadron color tags on the rudder and fuselage. These had to be painted on, simply because it was much easier. There are 24 Modex numbers and serial numbers (BuNums). BuNums are historiclly correct; unfortunately, they could not be matched to their corresponding Modex.
When on the Loadout screen, for skin/squadron selection, on the Dropdown menu you'll see
VA-12 Flying Ubangis (1960/61)
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.
Happy Landings!

SF2 A-4E (67) Skyhawk VA-45 Skin/Decals Pack
By Wrench
SF2 A-4E (67) Skyhawk VA-45 Skin/Decals Pack 1/25/2018
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
*Can be used in any install that has access to the A-4E_67*
A new skin for the A-4E (67) Skyhawk. Also included, are a modified Data and loadout inis, correcting/adding to the Mission tasking, loadouts, Player operated manual canopy, and the landing light. Several new parts are included that correct and add the missing outer Sidewinder rails.
The skin included is for:
VA-45, Det.1
embarked aboard USS INTREPID circa 1972-73, in the North Atlantic & Mediterranean as part of CVSG-56.
Skins remain in their "as issued via 3W" stock bmp format. Most markings are decals, excepting certain squadron tags on the rudder. These had to be painted on due to number-of-decals-per-mesh restrictions. There are 18 Modex numbers and serial numbers (BuNums). VA-45's BuNums are historiclly correct; unfortunately, they could not be matched to their corresponding Modex.
Also added, via Magical Ini Dancing (tm) are missile rails for the OUTBOARD pylons, as is correct for all 5-hard-pointed Skyhawks. These are added via the loadout ini through various magical transformations and incantations. 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. A lightened and brightened gunsight tga is also included for those of us with weaker eyes.
Historically speaking, these A-4 squadrons (and/or detachments) were assigned to the Essex class carriers that had been convered to "CVS" or anti-submarine warfare carriers. The Skyhawks embarked were not only tasked with light strike, but Combat Air Patrols to protect the ship and the ASW assets.
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
VA-45 Blackbirds Det 1 (CVS-11 1972-3)
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!

Ace combat----------X-02 wyvern
By frtn
x-02 Wyvern
__________________________________________________________________
Fictional fighter-Come From Ace combat
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the late 1980s, the Federal Erusian Navy issued a request
for the development of a new combat aircraft that could also
be used by the Air Force. Preliminary blueprints of the new jet,
named the "X-02A", were completed by late February 1987,
and its maiden flight took place in 1998. Production continued
until the start of the Usean Continental War; Erusea planned to
use the X-02s for the defending squadron of the Stonehenge
network, but controversy was sparked from opposition groups
questioning its superiority to conventional aircraft.

su-27 Su-27 Gelb Team (Ace Combat Zero)
By zachtan
What is it?
It's a paint scheme for the Su-27 Flanker of the Belkan Air Force, 5th Air Division, 23rd Tactical Fighter Squadron, "Gelb" Team from the game Ace Combat Zero
The Gelb Team, of the Belkan Air Force's 23rd Tactical Fighter Squadron, consists of a two-plane formation of two Su-37 Terminators. The squad's leader, Major Orbert Jager, and his wingman, Lieutenant Rainer Altman, were the pilots assigned to the Gelb Team. They were commonly assigned to interception missions along the Hydrian Line, the southern defence line. Due to their flawless and synchronized flying style, the two pilots became known as the "Coupled Cormorants".
In the beginning of the Belkan War in 1995, the Gelb Team was a large part of Belka's air and ground superiority, despite their odd formation. It was the flexibility their formation provided which allowed them to be more effective than a classic fighter squadron. However, when the Allied Forces went on the offensive, the Hydrian Line was stretched thin. The Gelb Team was forced to sortie five times a day in order to maintain the line, but due to the sudden attack, were left with little logistics support and not receiving even basic maintenance for their aircraft.
Despite being overused, the "Coupled Cormorants" maintained the battle-line, until they were sent to the Ustian capital, Directus, in order to stop the city from being retaken by the Allied Forces. However, they arrived late into the battlefield, but did engage the Ustian 6th Air Division, 66th Air Force Unit "Galm Team" and were shot down. The flight leader was killed in action, but Gelb 2 his wingman ejected safely and later went on to settle in the city where he was shot down over.
**I've used Marcfighter's Su-27 Flanker instead due to it being more commonly used, in addition to the fact that the template is actually available.**
Which addon(s) are required?

ace combat J-35J Draken & Rafale-M Espada Team (Ace Combat Zero)
By zachtan
What is it?
It's a paintscheme for the SAAB J-35J Draken and Dassault Rafale-M F1of the Sapin Air Force, 9th Air and Land Division, 11th Tactical Fighter Squadron "Espada" from the game Ace Combat Zero
Espada Team, formerly members of the 9th Air and Land Division, 11th Tactical Fighter Squadron, is a fighter squadron from Sapin that participated in the A World With No Boundaries uprising.
The operational history behind the Espada Squadron is unknown, but it is known that Marcela Vasquez held a relationship with her commander, Alberto Lopez. In October of 1995, Lopez defected to A World With No Boundaries movement that rose in central Osea after the Belkan War, abandoning their base in Sapin and disappearing without a trace. They were not the only soldiers from Sapin to join the group, as Air Force commander Ramos Gonzales and his Suerte Squadron followed suit.
On 25 December of 1995, the squadron accompanied the XB-0 Hresvelgr during the bombing of Lumen in the coup d'etat, along with other rebel pilots from the movement, and carried out airstrikes on Valais Air Base later that day. Galm Team pursued the XB-0 to the Waldreich Mountains, where it clashed with Espada. Vasquez and Lopez were shot down, and the squadron was disbanded.

SF2 A-6A Intruder, VA-42 & VA-128 Skin/Decals Pack
By Wrench
SF2 A-6A Intruder, VA-42 & VA-128 Skin/Decals Pack 2/12/2018
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
*Can be used in any install that has access to the stock 3W A-6A*
2 new skins for the 3W A-6A Intruder that depict VA-42 "Green Pawns" and VA-128 "Golden Intruders". Be advised that these are =NOT= combat squadrons, but the Fleet Replacement Squadrons, responsible for training pilots and bombardier/navigators for all Intruder squadrons. VA-42 recieved the very first Intruder in June, 1963. VA-128 recieved theirs in September, 1967. These 2 squadron represent the East Coast (VA-42, NAS Oceana) and West Coast (VA-128, NAS Whidbey Island) training units.
All markings are decals (excepting squadron color flash on tail fins), almost all made new for this mod (excepting the Pawn on VA-42, reused and modified from the original), and decal randomization is TRUE*.
All serial (BuAerNums) are 100% historical for the A-6A, but should be considered "generic" as they do not depict actual aircraft from this unit. BuNum decalss are the same ones as supplied with another recent upload. Just allow the "Overwrite?" when asked during installing.
The aircraft is finished in the standard Grey/White scheme, with full color markings. The skin is in stock jpg format.
On the Loadout Screen, for skin selection you'll see:
VA-42 Green Pawns (FRS-ATL)
VA-128 Golden Intruders (FRS-PAC)
Please note, =NOTHING= is included that makes the aircraft flyable; no inis, cockpit parts, nothing . You should have made it flyable already 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-6A.ini) to stop reversion to AI-only, you'll have to un-read only it to add this skin.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
Happy Landings!

*Be advised of while testing, for some reasons, when selecting these skins, the Modex almost always went to the last number*
