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.

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!

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.

USMC Fast Facs
By 542Tiger
Gunny's brought Yall' a Holiday Gift.... :yes:
USMC TA-4F Skyhawk II "Fast FAC's by 331Killerbee
This Mod represents the 24 Aircraft the Marine Corps used as "Fast Facs" durning the Veitnam War.
TA-4F's were used as "Fast Facs" by three "Hams" Units. "Hams" is Marine jargon for Headquaters and
Maintence Squadrons. (OMD) 16 Aircraft were operated by H&MS-11 out of Da Nang AB. H&MS-12 operated6 Aircraft out of Chu Lai AB. H&MS-13 operated just 2 out of Chu Lai. This Mod reflects that with
the proper Serials for each Squadron as they operated in the Republic of Veitnam.
Credits: Fracture for his great Model of the TA-4J and Templetes. Thanx a bunch!
My many Friends in the Strike Fighters World. Thanx for the Fun!
INSTALLATION: Please Read Carefully!
First you need a Copy of Fracture's TA-4J
You can obtain one at Combatace under Strike Fighters Downloads under the Aircraft Section
Under A-4 Skyhawks.
Copy one File: TA-4J.Lod over to the TA-4F File provided here. That's it. No Re-Nameing of anything.
No messing with the Weapons Editor.......That's it! Then have Fun!
For Questions and Comments, I can be PM'd here by the callsign 542tiger ala' 331Killerbee...
Happy Holidays! Semper Fi!

SF1 F-80C/T-33A/F-94B/RF-80A KAW Skin Pack
By Geary
SF1 F-80C/T-33A/F-94B/RF-80A Korean War Skin Pack
For Pasko/Gramps/Column5's F-80C/T-33A/F-94B models.
Updated skins for SF1 Korean War install.
Contains Korean War skins for the following aircraft and units:
F-80C Shooting Star:
35th FBS
36th FBS
80th FBS
F-94B Starfire:
68th FIS
RF-80A Photo/Recon Shooting Star:
15th TRS
T-33A Shooting Star Trainer, Hack & FAC:
35th FBS
36th FBS
80th FBS
(These T-33A skins are fictional. I've found very little info/pictures of T-33's in the Korean War. What I have pieced together says T-33's were used as trainers, taxi's, forward air controllers and whatever the unit wanted or was able to do with them. I painted these with a little poetic license to match the 3 F-80C unit skins provided in this download.)
These skins are in BMP format at 1024 x 1024 pixels.
These are old models and have a few anomolies such as bleeding color from templates.
Thanks and credit goes to:
Pasko/Gramps/Column5 - for the aircraft models.
Wrench - for the decals and skins from the SF2 KAW skins pack for EricGen's SF2 F-80C/T-33A/F-94B/RF-80C from which I borrowed. Also for the original Templates I modified.
PauloPanz - for the 68th FIS skin for ErikGen's SF2 F-94B from which I borrowed pieces.
pappychksix - for original SF1 F-80C Korean War pack skins I repainted.
Muesli / pappychksix(?) - for OD Green Camo skin I modified/repainted for the RF-80A.
Geary - for reworking everyone else's work; new lines and rivets, etc.; repaints; cameras on RF-80A; small tweaks.
If I forget or miss anyone who deserves credit for anything I release, I apologize. I have no intent to abuse or misuse anyone's work or property or claim it as my own. Please contact me to correct any error.
INSTALLATION: You must have Pasko/Gramps/Column5's F-80C/T-33A/F-94B models. They can be found in the CA SF1 download section. Unzip this download to a folder/place of your choice. Copy, Move, Drag-n-Drop or do whatever you wish to get the slin folders into their corresponding aircraft folders in your SF1 Korea install. Fly.
I'm releasing this under the Combat Ace Fair Use Agreement. Use it anyway you wish for personal use. Otherwise, please give credit to those due it.

SF1 Korean War Corsair Pack for TMF F4U7/AU-1
By Geary
SF1 Korean War Corsair Pack
For the TMF F4U7 / AU-1 Corsair.
These are converted/repainted skins and ini file tweaks of Wrench's SF2 Corsairs paks for use in a SF1 Korea War install. This is a complete aircraft pak containing 4 different Corsair versions and 23 unit skins.
The skins are in .bmp format at 1024 x 1024 pixels each.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks and credit go to (from Wrench's original read me file).
"TMF/Mod Mafia for ALL these Corsairs: with special thanks to BPAO - we miss you Oli!
and also to Crusader, Mod Mafia Leader (xTMF)
RussoUK for the engine sound, borrowed from the P-47N
Me, for alot of the skins and decals and some ini reworking and assembling the package, and bottle washing.
More Skins by CrazyHorseB34 (thanks man!)."
And to Geary - for new lines, rivets, repaints, conversions, ini tweaks, a few decals, adding .50 cal painted gun ports to F4U-4, etc...
But, especially to Wrench for all the work he did in putting the original Corsair paks together.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I used parts and pieces from Wrench's sf2_kaw_f4u4_cosairs_pak, his sf2_f4u5_corsair_pak, his sf2_kaw_corsairs file and his SF1 f4u4b_pak to get some of these tweaks to work in SF1.
---------- Installation Instructions --------------------------
If you have any of these aircraft installed, you must rename or remove them.
INSTALLATION: Unzip to a folder/place of your choice. Copy, Move, Drag-n-Drop or do whatever you wish to get the folders into their corresponding folders in your SF1 Korea install. Fly.
If you don't have the correct weapons, look in the many weapons packs available here at CombatAce.
There's a repainted m38_jeep.bmp that the 500lb and 1000lb bomb use as a skin. If you want to use it, just drop it into your weapons folder and overwrite the old one.
-----------------------------------------------
I've included a repainted drop tank to match the aircraft skin color. Installation instructions are in the Weapons folder and in the SF1 Knowledge Base.

SF1 F9F-5 & 5P Panther Korean War Skins Pak
By Geary
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.
Thanks and credit go to:
Pasko/Column5/Gramps/Major Lee/Marcfighters - for the F9F-5 & F9F-5P models uploaded by Guest.
Wrench - for the decals from the Wrench/Bobrock SF2 Korean War Era F9F-2 Panther Pak.
Creature - for the hook, canopy folding wings fix.
Geary - for template, paints, repaints, etc...
MultiUnknownSources - for the weapons and pilot.
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 1024 pixels. They are 3MB each but can be downsized for those of you who can't use them this large.
If I forget or miss anyone who deserves credit for anything I release, I apologize. I have no intent to abuse or misuse anyone's work or property or claim it as my own. Please contact me to correct any error.
INSTALLATION: Unzip to a folder/place of your choice. Copy, Move, Drag-n-Drop or do whatever you wish to get the folders into their corresponding folders in your SF1 Korea install. If you don't already have the weapon information in your weapondata.ini file, add it. Run the SF1 Weapons Editor. Fly.

343rd FS, 55th FG.
363rd FS, 357th FG.

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.
