    1. SPADS !!!
      A-1J Skyraiders of the US Navy
      Hi Rez skins 
      To be used on the stock 3W SF2 A-1J Skyraiders
       
      Continuing my series of Skyraider skins, these ones are for late mark Spads, of the US Navy.
      Included are :-
      VA-25 "Fist of the Fleet" 2 different skins from 2 consecutive cruises the first on USS Coral Sea, and the secon on USS Midway
      VA-115 "Arabs" again 2 different skins, both on the same tour of duty on USS Kittyhawk, the second set are a rework of Wrench's original experimental camo scheme, again mine is not 100% accurate, but I think it conveys the general idea. Only 2 or 3 Airframes were actually painted in this scheme, but it was just easier to do all of the squadron in it, the scheme was an experiment, which was found to be non beneficial, and in fact a bit of a problem for deck crews whilst operating at night or in bad weather, so it was dropped , however it does look pretty cool, the aircraft had only very basic markings and I have tried to replicate this with these skins, the other set of  "ARABS" are in the standard Grey/White scheme.
      VA-145 "Swordsmen" aboard USS Intrepid 
      VA-152 "Friendlies" on the USS Oriskany and they were called the Friendlies at this time NOT the Black Aces, or the Fighting Aces, the Name is correct for the Time period, the Squadron I believe are now known as the Mavericks !!
      As with all my previous uploads, everything you need is in the package ( obviously you need the aircraft in the first place hahahaha ) Again I will give the Gypsies warning about the Data.ini, make sure you DO use it , or you WILL have clipping issues !!!
      I will also say, as mentioned my my friend Mr Wrench, these are not 100% completely new , shiny, you cant bend it, built from the ground up , skins, but rather total reworks of skins that are already available ( in most cases) Hopefully I have improved on previous and older ones, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed doing them for you all !!
       
      All the usual shout outs ( you know who you are !! ) 
       
      As always ENJOY !!!!

    2. SPADS , HOBO'S & ZORRO'S 
      Also known as the A-1/AD-6 Skyraider
       
      For the stock 3rd Wire SF2:V A-1H Skyraider
       
      Continuing on from my previous uploads and reworks of USN and USMC Skyraiders, I present to you, for your delectation, and enjoyment the next in my rework of our beloved mud moving , snarling, piston powered , and rather handsome USAF Versions , I have made 3 Camouflage versions of the Aircraft from the 1st SOS, 22nd SOS, and 602st SOS of the 56th Special Operations Wing .
      22 SOS is in the Zorro scheme of Camo over Nite, I am aware that not all the aircraft in the Squadron were painted this way, however rather than making a split squadron, the whole load of 'em are nite unders, if ya don't like it....well tough !!  1 SOS is done in the more usual "day" scheme, but is very dirty drab and scratched up, whilst 602's airframes are reasonably clean ( for a skyraider) And a slightly lighter colour tone with the more usual Light Grey unders.
      I have tried to get the numbers and nose art matched up on the different squadrons airframes, and yes I am aware that some of the pilots flew on different squadrons and took their aircraft's name with them, so some of the ones I have portrayed, may appear with different tail codes etc, depending on your sources.
      I have pretty much reworked the camo schemes from scratch, and I hope that these beautiful aircraft meet your approval .
      Everything you need is in the package decals, sounds, pilots , weapons etc. etc. etc. also the Data.ini for the aircraft.........Be advised, you MUST use this Data.ini with these aircraft, firstly because I have enabled the Chaff dispensers, and secondly, it kills off the clipping issue that started me off on this project in the first instance................YOU HAVE BEEN INFORMED AND WARNED!!
      That I think covers it, all the usual shout outs to Wrench and Nyghtfall for their Templates, which are instrumental in these 'ere skins And to anyone else who had anything to do with the original , aircraft, cockpits, and any other stuff that I have to be politically correct about .
      Please feel free to leave feedback ( it is much appreciated) also if you find any glitches that may have slipped by my (cough) quality control (cough) department, please give me a shout so I can attempt to fix it.
       
      Get out there, move some mud, scare the bejesus out of the baddies in Injun country, and above all ENJOY !!!

    3. The Il-78 tanker was developed and designed in the Ilyushin Aviation Complex in Russia. The main reason behind its development was an expansion of the transferable fuel load of an earlier version of tanker, the Il-76.
      The Il-78 has a total transferable fuel load of 85,720 kilograms (188,980 lb), which includes 28,000 kilograms (62,000 lb) from a pair of 18,230-litre (4,010 imp gal; 4,820 US gal) tanks in the freight hold. In comparison, the Il-76 has a capacity of only 10,000 kilograms (22,000 lb).

    6. This object mod applies to this download :
       
      The data.ini file of this mod is the exact same file from the SF2 F-84F TMF with two modifications :
      - the guns position and MinMaxExtent values had been edited
      - the internal fuel tanks have been modified to be closer to the real aircraft
      Read the ReadMe-s
       
      I really struggled not to untitle this download "SF2 F-84F TMF Ineternal Tanks Fix"
      xD

    7. SF2 F-84F Thunderstreak by The Mirage Factory            5/12/2019
      = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
      This is a rebuild for SF2 of The Mirage Factory's F-84F "Thunderstreak" (swept wing version). It goes again my grain to see such a well done aircraft, albeit originally built for SF/W0* 1st Gens, and many associated skin/decal set languish in obscurity simply due to age and the existence of one from 3rd Wire, albeit in a purchasable DLC. THIS one is free, and won't need any hoop-jumping to keep player flyable. 
      I've scavanged most of the existing skin sets, did various tweaking to make them a bit more SF2 ready. The aircraft FM has been slightly adjusted for SF2, a destroyed model attached, decals randomized, and when necessary, decals and new skins created from the revised TMF Templates by Pappychksix. The templates are included in a separate named folder in this download. For those skins with painted on national markings, my patent pending "fake insigina decal" trick was used to activate the Nation Name displayed. The same trick, with my patent pending "fake SqTail" decal, now activates any and all squadrons that are listed in the stock 3W Squadronlist.ini. Reminder: the Squadronlist ini ONLY has full units, not, for example, the various Staffels of the BLW T-streaks. 
      All new skin specific Hangar screens (SF2 style), and one of my famous "AvArt" style loading screens are included. All drop tanks, pilots, weapons and sounds needed are included (see Notes about camo tanks). The Canopy opens with the Standard Animaiton keystroke (shift/0 -shift/Zero).
      In this pack you have many skins. Most use the 'SF2 date switch' to go from Natural Metal to the End Users (TM) national camoflague finishes. Please note, some skins are in their original "as issued" bitmap format. Some have been rebuilt, or new builds, in jpg format. The skins supplied are:
      = USAF:
      78th TFS, USAFE, RAF Bentwaters
      168th FBS, Illinios Air National Guard (1961 Berlin Crisis)
      4510th CCTS, Luke AFB (called 'USAF_Silver')
      = Belgian Air Force:
      3rd Squadron (NM 1956)
      2nd Squadron (NATO Camo) -switches on in 1958
      = Netherlands KLU:
      311 Sqn, KLU (Camo) -starts 1964, when F-84Fs were recieved
      = France:
      EC 1/1 Corse (1955-1960) -folder called "AdA"; NM. see notes. 
      EC 3/1 Argone (1956 Suez and post-Suez, 1957-ish)
      = West German BLW:
      JaboG 31 2nd Sqn "Alma" (NM 1956) (new by me)
      JaboG 31 2nd Sqn "Alma" Camo
      JaboG 32 3rd Sqn Camo
      JaboG 33 3rd Sqn Camo
      JaboG 34 "Allgäu" 1st Sqn
      JaboG 35
      *Note all except II/JBG 31 NM 56 are Camo, and start in 1962. All BLW skins/decals, except where noted are from Soulfreaks GAF Thunderstreak Pack*
      = Greek Hellenic Air Force:
      348 Sqdn, HAF, NM (1958)
      346 Sqdn, HAF, SEA Camo (1971)
      *Note: in between the NM and SEA, many HAF T-streaks carried NATO 2-tone. That skin is not supplied. See Notes.*
      Also included is a 'generic natural metal' for any other skinners that wish to fiddle with new skins. As many of the NATO 2-tone camo aircraft use all decals for markings, and the template is supplied, it should be easy to create other skins as needed. Even though the header reads "Full 5 Merged", it can be used in any SF2 mods folder.
      When in game, on the aircraft selection drop down menu, you'll see:
      F-84F ThunderStreak (TMF)
      This differentiates it from the stock 3rd Wire version.
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Where possible, I've included the original readme for the various skin sets; the original TMF aircraft readme is in the main aircraft folder.
      On behalf of my brother Mod Mafiosos...
      Good Hunting!
