SF1 F9F-5 & F9F-5P Panther Skins.
 
For those of us that still fly SF1, who still enjoy the old Korean War mod and who would like some updated F9F-5/5P Panther skins for the Korean theatre.
 
This download contains the Fighter/Bomber and Photo Reconnaissance aircraft as well as skins.
 

Because I used Wrench's SF2 F9F-2 decals, you may notice the BuNums referencing the aircraft as F9F-2 models instead of F9F-5 models. Change them if you wish/can.
 

Most of these old SF1 skins didn't use the decal system. They do now.
 

I only created a template and repainted over the old skins. The model is a bit old and has some quirks with the paint and decals. You will notice some paint streaks and line deformation caused by these quirks.

SF2 WW2 MTO Spitfire Mk.V Trop 352 Squadron (Yugoslavia) by Cocas & Co 7/23/2017
 
-- Something for the Med players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*This mod will NOT work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level. Don't even bother trying.
 
Note : This mod represents Mk.V Trops used by the Balkans Air Force, specificly RAF No. 352 (Yugoslavia) Squadron. Even though the entire squadron was composed of Yugoslavian nationals, I've left it under the "RAF" nation tag. These do have a specific "time frame" for operation.
 
This is a full, complete aircraft mod for use in the MTO. All necessary items are included. Even though we lack a WW2 Balkans terrains, I thought it would be interesting to have "something a bit different" than all the usual Spitfire users.
 
In breaking with my usual tradition, the wing roundels and fin flash are painted on. All other marking (fuselage insignia, serial numbers, "plane in squadron" letters and nose art are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE. Serials/ID letters and nose arts are 100% historiclly correct, and are matched to their proper aircraft. Unfortunately, I could only find information on 10 aircraft, so that is what you're getting. The aircraft is finished in standard Euro camo, not MTO desert (profiles/photos corroborate this).
 
The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0. Guns are also grouped, MGs in Group 1, the cannon in Group 2.
Many other changes, mostly to minor adjustments have been performed. See "Notes" section for change list.
 
When in game, you'll see:
 
Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop Y (CAF)
 
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate =THIS= Spitfire from any other RAF Mk.Vs you may (or may not) have. The "Y" designates it for "Partisan Air Force".
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
 
Good Hunting!

De Havilland Osprey B.II by Cocas (what if...) 28/07/2017
 
Some time ago I requested some updates to the original Osprey by Cocas, a refuelling probe, airbrakes, antenna on the fuselage... cocas made the mod and I made a new skin for strategical use with the RAF in AntiFlash white. As the Osprey B.II does not differ wildly from the I, I retained the original readme and completed with some historical background. As the plane was never used on the desert being based only in UK and Germany, I not included the desert scheme, but the one in the original Osprey will work. For the Malvinas campaign, the green euro cammo should be used.
 
Model by cocas, new antiflash white skin by Stratos on cocas template, decals by Spinners. Thanks a lot guys!
 
Background:
 
Following the exit of the first version of the new De Havilland bird, the RAF aproached De Havilland with a request for a improved variant with Strategic bombing as its designed mission. The requirements were clear, a better range, a refuelling probe and a long range communication radio.
 
De Havilland felt it was pretty easy to complete the task, as the requested features were already imagined for the Osprey, and added another one, big air brakes on the wings. the refuelling probe was a bit more complicated, as it was tested first on the starboard wing, but it was hard to use in flying, specially in bad weather conditions, so a reuleing probe over the cockpit was installed and tested. It came with the risk of spilling gas on the cockpit glass, but simplified the refueling maneuvers a lot, so it was finally selected as the choosen one. The new communication array was based on a dorsal antenna and new radio equipment to be controlled by the copilot, as the plane retained the three man crew.
 
Finally bigger fuel tanks were installed and the new brakes air tested, those brakes improved maneuvers and shortened the landing run quite a bit, and then the prototype was sent to the RAF for testing. Plane was well liked by its crews and the RAf operated 49 of the birs in the nuclear bomber role, both based on UK and in RAf stations in Germany. During the first years the Osprey B.II used the classic Anti Flash white scheme, before converting to a regular cammo scheme as it was seen in the Malvinas campaign before retirement.
 
On the following pics, we can see a recently delivered Osprey B.II in anti flash white belonging to the squadron flying low over the Mach Loop in Wales, training for low level nuclear attack runs on Warsaw Pact targets.

SF1 P-51D ETO Aircraft and Skins
 
For those of us that still fly SF1 and noticed there were very few P-51D ETO skins that use the decal system:
 
3 skins for Wolf257's P-51D.
 
343rd FS, 55th FG.
363rd FS, 357th FG.
487th FS. 352nd FG.
 
There is no nose art with these skins.
 

Thanks and credit go to:
Wolf257 - for the P-51D model.
Pappychksix - for the 343rd skin I repainted from his SF1 Evelyn skin.
Amariani - for the decals from his SF2 P-51D ETO skins.
Geary - for template, paints, repaints, etc...
I don't know who created the WW II pilot or the drop tanks. They've been around since the dinosaurs. But thanks to those creators.
 
If you wish to paint your own skins, the template is available for the asking. Just PM me. It is in .psd format.
 
These skins are in .bmp format and were created at 2048 pixels. They are 12MB each but can be downsized for those of you who can't use them this large.

I have just modified it a bit.
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.

ANIMATION 4 - floaters. (only if loaded)
 
Like in previously realased Cayuse family aircrafts here you can also fly low and slow.
I am sugesting to fly low on 40-50% of throttle. around 45degree vector control, use pulse rudder to control left right, it is realy easy. With little practice you can even hoover and follow ship with same speed and height. Without fake flaps and airbrakes. Important here is to control using rudder and vector thrust control.
 
Skins covers aircrafts used by 6 escuadrilla of Spanish Navy from 1972 untill late 90s. Later they repainted remaining aircrafts with grey scheme.
All numbers are historicaly correct and are based on available photos. Including losses of airframes.
 
Have fun.
Edit your way.
And report bugs.
you should probably thank acesfakia who asked me to do this.

CT-155 Hawk for SF2
 

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Entirely based on BAe Hawk T.1A Update Pak made by Wrench that can be found here :
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/12717-bae-hawk-t1a-for-sf2-by-russouk/
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
This is the CT-155 Hawk as used by the RCAF 15th Wing for the SF2 series of games.
 
I added rivets and did the skin for the CT-155 Hawks (RCAF) currently used by the NATO Training Center.
 
You may use the skin files only or use it as an entire aircraft.
 
Did not tested it on others Hawks. So it might work or not.
 
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The CT-155 Hawk was selected for the NATO Flying Training in Canada (NFTC) program because of its similarities to frontline fighter aircraft. Student pilots graduate from the CT-156 Harvard II to this highly advanced jet trainer. Its Rolls-Royce turbofan engine generates more than 6000lbs of thrust and powers the jet to supersonic speeds.
 
The Hawk’s sophisticated glass cockpit features:
 
a heads-up display (HUD)
hands-on throttle and stick (HOTAS) controls
integrated navigation and targeting systems
With its superior technology, the jet can perform a wide range of high performance training missions.
 
NFTC students train on the Hawk during the program’s final stage. Once they’ve logged 125 flight hours, Canada’s student fighter pilots are ready to join 410 Squadron, the Operation Training Unit, which flies CF-188 Hornets.
 
Canada is not alone in selecting this modern trainer. Fifteen countries, including the British Royal Air Force rely on the Hawk to prepare their pilots for combat. The United States Navy uses its own version—the T-45A Goshawk—as an advanced trainer for carrier operations.

F-4E_75_AHUD (Austere HUD) mod
 
The real Austere HUD modification has been tested on F-4E 68-0304 during 1974-76.
The goal was to have a better sight display, primarily for air to air combat.
Further modifications were made to the radar for a quicker boresight lock-on and new dogfight
scan modes.
The Austere HUD modification remained a F-4E test and didnt went into production aircraft
or upgrades.
 

Ive re-created the Austere HUD, using the TW F-4E_75 (required for the mod to work).
Ive used the
Wraparound desert skin for stock F-4E
by amariani
http://combatace.com/files/file/12057-wraparound-desert-skin-for-stock-f-4e/
for a quick "make it fly" setup (we dont have a proper Edwards Test Unit white with red trimmings
skin)
 
The real Austere HUD was a test setup, so its no problem to add/remove readouts to the HUD modes
to ones personal liking.
