this is a batch of squadron, wing and other patches i've used in the last year to enhance some of my mods. all are named for the unit they represent, names will likely have to be changed in your own mods to fit what you're doing. feel free to use them on skins or tga.
 
as the title implies, these are Cold War era markings. where i could find and or as applies, they will say TACTICAL Fighter Squadron. these are not just knockoffs from Wikipedia's title page for the different units.
 
no readme, if i have copied someone elses file and not credited please let me know. however i am 99.9% certain this is all me phishing Google images over the course of a year.

I have also included files to create an A-4M based onto the A-4F_74 ( Datafile, Cockpit and Avionics files for a HUD ...).
All files are stock Thirdwire files, modified or not.

SF2 Post-WW2 P-38L Lightning, AMI 5/01/2014
 
- For SF2 (Any/All - Full 5 Merged Reccomended)
 
== Post War Lightnings, Part 2 ==
 
* Note: will most likely NOT work in 1stGen SF/Wo*, with out some modifications/tweeking. Use in 1stGen games has not, and cannot, be tested by me *
 
This is a revamp of Spitwulf's 1stGen Post-WW2 Italian Air Force P-38 Lightning. It is based on Wolf257's Lightning. This is the complete aircaft, updated (as much is as possible) for SF2 usage. All sounds, weapons and a pilot figure are included. Guns you should already have.
A NEW skin, in jpg format, was created (now with rivets!). All Spitwulf's original decals were reused, excepting the national markings, which use stock 3W decals. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE.
The skin represents 3^ Stormo Caccia (1948-1954).
 
When in-game, you'll see:
 
P-38L Lightning (AMI) (w)
 
on the aircraft dropdown menu. The (W) is for Wolf, diferentiating this P-38 from any others you may (or may not) have. The AMI is for, of course, Aeronautica Militare.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them!!!.
 
Happy Landings!

SF2 WW2 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I No.1 Squadron, BoF, Skin Pak 5/14/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*There is a distinct possibility that this mod will work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. However, due to some of the modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment (read: decal randomization), all the features will =NOT= be working as designed.*
 
A new skin for Raven's Hurrican Mk.1 (2-bladded Watts prop, fabric wings), representing No. 1 Squadron in early to mid-1940, but more for the Battle of France timeframe.
 
This skin is painted in the "half-and-half' Night/White wing undersides, with French style "rudder flash" RAF color bands, and "silver dope" remaining undersides. The skin maps remain in bmp format.
Also included is a modified textureset.ini for the original No.111 squadron skin, that adds the DefaultStartDate= tag (07/1940), adds decal randomization. The decals ini provided for 111 adds the Level 1 fake "SqTail" pointer to activate the Squadron name display. This is used on BOTH skins.
 
The new serial number decals ARE historically those for early Mk.1 Hurris, but should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent NO particular aircraft within a specific squadron.
 
This package ONLY contains the skins/decals (and the 111 Squadron inis). I've not included any of my usual "tweeks" to SF2-ize the aircraft. It's pretty perfect as is! (the only thing I changed was turning the Fuselage OFF in the data ini to eliminate the 'double cockpit' issue).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
 
With Thanks To Raven for the bird!
 
Good Hunting!

This is a simple 512X512 tile resize of Rends /Stary's 1024X1024 Germany tile set.
All artistic credit goes to Rends and Stary for creating these beautiful tiles,I simply resized them.
 
These are tiles only... you will need rends full terrain to make this conversion work correctly.
 
If you do not already have it -get the original terrain here: http://combatace.com/topic/82151-germany-terrain-rework-part-1-of-3/
 
Install the full terrain as per instructions in the original readme.
 
Back up your original GermanyCE folder in case you do not like this mod and want to go back to 1024.
 
The GermanyCE folder should be located here: Saved games/ ThirdWire/StrikeFighters2 Europe/Terrains/GermanyCE
 
Unpack this mod to your desktop
 
Copy the contents of each( season folder) to its corresponding folder i.e.- Spring to Spring / Summer to Summer.
 
Purpose of this mod?
 
My SF2 settings are set to maximize Eye candy, and immersion at the expense of frames per second. I run detail mesh settings at 16 to 24 and in some patch levels I run increased horizon draw distances of up to 200000.0----- I have struck a careful balance that keeps my frame rates just in the playable range. Rends awesome, highly detailed Germany pushed the frame rates into the unplayable range with these settings, so I undertook some experimentation to increase fps.
 
Thru tightening my RAM speed settings and using these resized tiles I have seen a small improvement that puts the FPS back into the playable range. However takeoffs at certain airbases can still be a bit choppy.
I believe that RAM speed is very important with this terrain and its high object density.
 
These resized tiles may be of benefit to those who have older computers, or those who run high detail mesh sizes.
