P-47D-25, Generic Post-WW2 Skin for SF, WoV & WoE
 
A "simple garden variety" natural metal skin for Wolf's P-47D-25 'Bubbletop' Thunderbolt.
 
This is a 'representative' skin for the F-47D Thunderbolt, in the post-1947 era, right after the formation of the US Air Force. As they were still a few around for a few years, mostly in the Air National Guard, I thought I'd throw together a little something. Now, mind you, these are NOT ANG aircraft, but should be considered as 'front line', as I didn't create ANG style decals.
The tail serial numbers are actual P-47D serials, just so's your tail fin don't look and feel so neeked.
I've also created the "buzz numbers" so prevelant in the post-war period, and into the Korea War, so this skin set will fit nicely into a "Cold War Gone Hot: 1948" scenario.
 
There are a few changes in the cockpit ini, adding a new sight tga (USAAF Mk.8). Instructions are below, in the "To Install" section.
And, once again, all the lights have correct positions, colors, including a landing light.
A new, WoE style Hangar Screen is also provided.
Information of 'fixing' the loadout problem with the Triple-Bazooka launchers is also supplied
 
== You MUST also have the latest weapons pak to make use of the WW2 weapons.==
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions, along with other notes of interest.
 
Happy Hunting!

P-51D-30, Generic Post-WW2 Skin and Ini Update for SF, WoV & WoE
 
A "simple, plain old garden variety" natural metal skin for Wolf's P-51D-30 Mustang, that uses the "P-51D30_V3.LOD", or in other words, the latest version that's available in the "Planes Pak", to be found at CombatAce .
 
This is a 'representative' skin for the F-51D Mustang, in the post-1947 era, right after the formation of the US Air Force. I did some experimentation with 'paneling'. I just used various verrry light tones of gray to try and create the differing panel sections. The skin itself was created from Wolf's original template, with cleaned up and redrawn panel lines, my 'interperative' rivets, and a new look for the cowl vent/air filter inlet.
The tail serial numbers are actual P-51D serials, just so's your tail fin don't look and feel so neeked.
I've also created the "buzz numbers" so prevelant in the post-war period, and into the Korea War, so this skin set will fit nicely into a "Cold War Gone Hot: 1948" scenario, or even a Korean War one.
 
As everybody knows how I hate to waste good decals, and just for fun, I transfered over and positioned a whole bunch of the various nose arts from other aircraft. So there's something to look at; and most surely against the Regs in the post-war era....there may be some partial or semi-nudidity on some some of them.
 
A few changes in the cockpit ini, added 2 new sight tgas (K-14 AA and AG sights). Instructions are below, in the "To Install" section.
And, once again, all the lights have correct positions, colors, and that nice little retractable landing light lens that Wolf provided for us, in now actually the landing light. --- really, this is the last time I'm fixing it!!!!
A new, WoE style Hangar Screen is also provided, for those wishing to use the aircraft/skin in a CWGH: 48 style install.
 
== You MUST also have the latest weapons pak to make use of the WW2 weapons.==
 
As stated above, there here highly detailed, step-by-step install instructions -- so PLEASE read them, ok???
 
Enjoy!

WOV F-4E replacement SE Asian textures
 
These textures are revisions of the templates graciously loaned to me by Sundowner. As with the F-4D textures, I created, three versions. Provided are "new", "used" and "worn" versions. The textures are 1024 pixel in size, and are intended to be used with my USAF F-4 decal project. A new 370 gal drop tank texture is also provided.

This is the Photoshop template I used to create my F-104G skins. I left untouched most of the layers so you will be able to adjust the weathering to your taste quickly.
Included in the files are the base layers for both standard NATO camouflage and natural metal finish.
 
I've spent several hours creating these files so, if you're going to use them in a public release, just give me some credit for them
 
These files are for the stock ThirdWire F-104G only.

VF-84 "Jolly Rogers" - The Final Countdown, circa 1980
 
This skin depicts the paint scheme in use at the time the movie "The Final countdown" was shot. In 1980 VF-84 participated in this motion picture, which propelled the skull-and-crossbones-adorned F-14's to international stardom. The movie featured a memorable scene involving two VF-84 Tomcats engaging two Japanese A6M Zeros.
 
Installation instruction in the readme.txt included.

Here are three base texture sets in 1024 pixel resolution based on Sundowner's templates (with his kind permission). Represented are "new", "used" and "worn" textures to go along with my USAF F-4 decal set. A matching color 370 gal drop tank is included.

Polikarpov I-16-10 CAF update package for SF/WoV/WoE WW2: PTO installs
 
This little package will upgrade Wolf's cute little Soviet fighter to fit more with current standards of loads, lights and cockpit. You'll be transfering files from another of his WW2 Planes, so make sure you have them installed.
 
I've included a newer version of Wolf's Chinese Air Force skin. The skin has newly redrawn panel lines, 'interperative' rivets added (meaning I claim no historical accuracy for their placement), some weathering and general dirt added. But -- the credit for the original skin is STILL with Wolf; all I did was fiddle with some eye candy bits.
 
This package contains tweeked data, loadout and cockpit inis. The cockpit ini (now called "Rata_Cockpit.ini) is a copy of the one from Wolf's Tomahawk/P-40B, as it has a better look for this aircraft (albeit not perfect, but workable). You will be transfering the cockpit folder from the Tomahawk for use in this aircraft. The ini has had the pilot positions adjusted to match the I-16, plus some 'moves' courtesy of what I've learned from Lexx_Luthor.
 
I have also included a small (25kg) WW2 Soviet bomb, that comes with the Dev A-Team's IL-2, so you'll be using the weapons editor to add this as well.
 
 
==NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK INSTALLED TO GET THE WW2 WEAPONS!!==

Nakajima Ki-27 "Nate" update package for SF/WoV/WoE WW2: PTO installs

It includes a 2 skins, a natural metal for 1 Sentai, circa 1939/40-ish; and a Generic IJAAF Green (both revamped from my eariler ones). The skins have newly redrawn panel lines, 'interperative' rivets added (meaning I claim no historical accuracy for their placement), simulated fabric surfaces, some weathering and general dirt added.
 
This package contains tweeked main, data, loadout and cockpit inis. The cockpit ini (now called "Nate_Cockpit.ini) is a copy of the one from AD's Ki-43 'Oscar', as it has the best look for this aircraft. You will be transfering the cockpit folder from AD's Oscar for use in this aircraft (make sure you have it!). The ini has had the pilot positions adjusted to match the Ki-27.

6° Stormo A. Fusco, 154° Gruppo - 1970s
This skin depicts the tipical italian starfighter paint scheme used in the 70s, in NATO tactical camouflage with large national markings and big white numbers.
The Squadron was disbanded after the armistice in 1943 and reformed in 1952 as a fighter-bombers squadron, the insignia is the famous Red Devil and it's named after Alfredo Fusco, ace and Medaglia d'Oro al Valore recipient, shot down during WWII over Albania.
 
In 1965 154° Gruppo was awarded the "NATO flying safety" award, totaling 5000 hrs without any accident. Quite remarkable, since they were flying the dreaded Zipper!
 
 
This skin is for the original Third Wire F-104G model only. Installation instruction in the readme.txt included.

C-130H skins by Bib and USAFMTL
Drop into your C-130H folder and fly.
 
I did a low vis drop tank so back up your old one if you want to use it. It goes in the weapons folder (you must use the weps pack to get a weps folder)
 
Thanks to Dels for the plane and the templates.

These are the Photoshop templates for my C-130H Ver 1.0, so that others can make skins for it.
 
Enjoy!

Here is a skin pack depicting every F-100D flown by French squadron 1/11 Roussillon after 1966. Every aircraft has correct serial numbers and fuselage code. The belly of the aircraft, as well as the wings and tail was covered with a special coat to prevent corrosion, that's why the color is not exactly the same as the back of the plane.
 
Templae by Sony Tuckson, internals and pylons by Sundowner.
 
**ONLY FOR MIRAGE FACTORY'S F-100D(FR) AVAILABLE ON CHECK SIX**

The first of 254 Thunderjet received from USAF arrived in Italy in Maj 1952.

This skin depicts some F-84G of 103° Gruppo(Group) based at Villafranca Air Base in the 1953;the three flash on the vertical tail symbolized,with his colours,all the group: yellow for 103°,blue for 102° and red for 101°.
 
The original skin is by Russouk2004.
All I did was repaint and add some details, and lots of decal work.

F-104S ASA M 37° Stormo, 18° Gruppo
In mid '90s Italian Air force abandoned the traditional NATO tactical camouflage for the air superiority gray, now in use as a standard paint scheme. ASA M planes were intended to be pure interceptors and air defence fighters.
 
The squadron insignia is a stork delivering its "load" and it's named after Cesare Toschi, Medaglia d'Oro al Valor Militare recipient, for his actions over Malta during WWII. The Gruppo motto is "Ocio che te copo" (watch it or I kill you). In '99 it operated CAP mission over the Balcans during Operation Allied Force.
 
This skin is for the F-104S-ASA M mod available on Combat Ace and you'll need both JET-Z S/ASA mod available on his site (http://www.12packproductions.com/JetZ/index.html) and the original F-104G by ThirdWire.
 
Installation instruction in the readme.txt included.

This is a skin of Maj.John Glenn's Mig Mad Marine F-86F Saber as seen in the skies of War torn Korea.It is a compulation of several differnt skins,and my own photoshop work.I thank everybody who made this skin possible,and hope you all enjoy it.

Here is a long overdue overhaul of the USAF F-4C/D/E Phantom II tailcode decals for every Air Force Phantom squadron in Southeast Asia from 1967 through 1975 for WOV. Some 326 new TGA decals are provided with (hopefully) correct fin tip colors, canopy rails, tape lights, and intake insignias for a total of 62 marking schemes, many I have not seen released before. Also included are my F-4 serial number decals, plus a little historical info for reference.
 
A new squadronlist.ini file is provided with new entries, but none of the original squadron entries are altered so you do not need to edit any existing campaign or mission files.
 
I'd appreciate any input for mistakes/corrections and of course additions.
 
(The TGA decals have some reference marks on them also to allow anyone to use them to create new markings!)
 
Enjoy,
Mike Druzolowski

USAAF P-51C Mustang Upgrade & Skin Pak for SF/WoV/WoE, WW2 ETO Installs
 
This is a re-skin and ini upgrade package for Wolf's P-51C "Mustang" (Malcom Hood). The skin was created from his orginal template, but I've redrawn all the panel lines, added some rivets, made various and sundry enhancements to the skin; made several changes in the data, loadout and cockpit inis. A new N-3 gunsight tga has also been included.
 
The skin represents aircraft from 356th Fighter Squadron, 354th Fighter Group "The Pioneer Mustang" unit circa 1944/45 (pre-invasion striped, or post invasion striped -whichever you deceide!). I've heavly researched this unit, and as best I could, tried to match photos of the nose art. Where data was available, the actual serial numbers have been used. All others are C model serials, but I make no claims to if they actually served in 356th. Some of the nose arts are 'interperative'; meaning I did them in the best way I could to get them to fit on the aircraft. Some are in the 99% acuracy range, so I think you all should be pretty happy with them. You'll have squadron codes and individual letters for 26 aircraft
 
You'll also find a new "MustangC" hangar screen, I created just for this mod, and ONLY available with it!!!
 
==NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK INSTALLED FOR PROPER WEAPONS LOADOUT!!==
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions, plus comments and notes that you might find interesting.
 
Happy Landings!!!

F-104S ASA M 4° Stormo, 20 °Gruppo
 
In mid '90s Italian Air force abandoned the traditional NATO tactical camouflage for the air superiority gray, now in use as a standard paint scheme. ASA M planes were intended to be pure interceptors and air defence fighters.
 
The squadron insignia is the Prancing Horse used by WWI ace Francesco Baracca and it's named after Amedeo, 3rd Duke of Aosta, commander of the Italian Forces in East Africa, during WWII. The Gruppo insignia is a lion with the motto "Unus sed leo" (one, but a lion). In '99 it operated CAP mission during Operation Allied Force.
 
This skin is for the F-104S-ASA M mod available on Combat Ace and you'll need both JET-Z S/ASA mod available on his site (http://www.12packproductions.com/JetZ/index.html) and the original F-104G by Third Wire.
