SF/WO* Aircraft Skins

F104G 3° Stormo C. E. Buscaglia, 28° Gruppo
Operation Ace Guard 1991
 
On 21 December 1990 3° Stormo received the order to deploy six planes, in recce configuration, to the forward turkish base of Erhac as part of the NATO coalition, during the 1st Gulf War. Between 6 January and march 1991, in rigid weather (up to 25°C below zero) and uncomfortable conditions, the RF-104Gs flew over 300 sorties patrolling the turkish southern border.
The planes were painted in the standard NATO tactical scheme with low visibility markings.
 
The squadron insignia are four cats (of the former 278° Torpedo Bomber Squadron) and it's named after Carlo Emanuele Buscaglia, commander of a torpedo squadron during WWII. The squadron has been disbanded during the '90s and 28° Gruppo "Strega" (Witch, from the callsign used during the war) is now part of 32° Stormo.
 
This skin is for the original Third Wire F-104G model only. Installation instructions in the readme.txt included.

As always, special thanx to Wolf257 for creating this aircraft and to Crab02 and USAFMTL for their help with the making of this skin.
 
Enjoy, Pappy

Focke Wulf Fw-190 skin for SF, WoV & WoE WW2 Installs:
 
This is a new skin for Wolf257's Fw-190A4.
 
This skin represents Fw-190A4 from 6/JG2 in the 42/43 time frame in Western Europe/Occupied France.
It's a very basic, generic type skin as use during the time frame above. No special marking, just a very "Plane Jane" skin.
 
This, and all the other skins, can be used on any other versions of the 190, just edit the decals ini to point to the correct aircraft (also repeated in the readme)
 
The enclosed readme has simple, easy to follow instructions -- not much to, it's just as skin!
 
Enjoy!

I fixed the tanks, and added a missing sound file

In April 1963 4° Aerobrigata was the first squadron in Italy to receive the Starfighters. Between 1962 and 1965 they kept the original paint scheme with bare aluminium fuselage and white anti-radiation upper wings. Alternatively also the upper fuselage was partially painted in white.
 
This skin is for the original Third Wire F-104G model only.
Readme file included.

This is one of several Fokker-built Hunters of the KLu. This one was one of several
stationed at airbase Leeuwarden and was part of 630 squadron when they were still
flying aircraft instead of doing airbase security.
It was essentially a F.4 on which the wings of the F.6 type were joined. these have dogtooth trailing edges.
 
Enjoy this handsome one!
 
 
(Thanks Sundowner for the use of the basic Hunter skin!)
 
 
 
 
 
PS: This skin is to be used for AD's Hunter F.6, so NOT for the standard Hunter FGA in WOE!!
 
-As adviced by "Kirsten"I have enlarged the squadron logo to be more in proper proportions with the real thing!-

This is one of several Fokker-built Hunters of the KLu which were
stationed in Papua New Guinea in the early sixties. It was essentially a F.4 on which the wings
of the F.6 type were joined. these have dogtooth trailing edges.
The tail represents the PNG flag.
 
Enjoy this handsome one!

This aircraft depicts the "Dizzy Rebel", a P-51D Mustang, S/N 44-13687, of the 77th FS, 20th FG, flown by Lt. Robert H. King. Special thanx to Wolf257 for creating this aircraft and to Crab02 and USAFMTL for their help with the making of this skin.

These are flight dynamics (Flight Model, FM, etc.) files ONLY. They do not contain models, skins, cockpits, or any other files, other than the FM itself.
 
They were developed using Kreelin's AeroConvert, and data from the USAF's "Have Doughnut" tac evaluation, performed in 1969.
 
The FM's are somewhat of a compromise, in that, while they are tailored to both mimic the real aircraft's performance in turn rate, sustained G, landing and takeoff speeds,(etc.) as much as possible, they do not impose unreasonable limits on the aircraft under AI control.
 
In short, their stall behavior is somewhat benign, yet, they can enter an almost unrecoverable spin, if you insist on flying them in a ham-fisted manner.
 
The only issue I have with them, is one imposed upon me by time-constraints. And that is, I feel that they are about 25-30 knots too slow when flying just above sea-level, at full military power (not in afterburner).

Focke Wulf Fw-190A5 Upgrade Package for SF, WoV & WoE WW2 ETO/SWOTL Installs:
 
This is a re-paint and rebadging of original Fw-190A5, with completly redrawn rivet and panel lines. Wolf was always good about giving us the templates with his birds, and I've put this one to VERY good use.
 
This skin represents Fw-190A5s from 3/JG2 in the 43/44 time frame in Western Europe/Occupied France (you know, about the time of D-Day). I make NO claims to historical accuracy; I have just enough knowledge of Luftwaffe camo & markings to get into trouble (but I'm getting better!), and I'm sure there are much more educated folks out there on the subject.
 
I -have- tried to make it as accurate as possible, even to getting the proper RLM colors added to my swatch list. As best I could, I even added the little warning placards around the fuselage, wings and tail. Along with the 'eagle head' shape over the fuselage. Included is the nose art for aircraft #13, as flown by 'Pips' Priller.
 
This is a complete package, replacing the original data, loadout, cockpit and main inis, due to several modifications I've effected. There are even new hangar and loading screens, 2 of each to choose from (one just being a revamp of my original). These screens can be used on any version of the Butcher Bird.
 
This skin can also be used on any other versions of the FW-190, just edit the decals ini to point to the correct mark
 
---- Please note you MUST have the latest Weapons Pack for the WW2 Axis weapons ----
(but you probably already do!!)
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for more, detailed instructions.
 
Good Hunting!

More Butcher Bird goodies coming soon!

This aircraft depicts "Sonny Boy", a P-51D Mustang, S/N 44-14312, of the 343rd FS, 55th, flown by 1LT Ted E. Hoffman. Special thanx to Wolf257 for creating this aircraft and to Crab02 and USAFMTL for their help with the making of this skin.
 
Enjoy the flight...

334 Skvadron in the late 50's and early 60's.

semi-temperate 3 tone Iraqi camo.

This really just a redecal of my Syrain AF skin.

North Atlantic 2-Tone Gray Camo for KM Ju-87T Stuka
 
Another skin for my "What If..." carrier based Ju-87T, which is modded from Pasko's original Stuka. It represents a fictional North Atlantic 2-tone Gray.
 
Since there exists NO available templates to reskin ANY of Pasko's birds (or at least none I could find), I had to use his original splinter camo as a base for this (see the original readme for the Ju-87T). What I wound up doing is creating a multi-layer psd file for the needed skin bmps, and redrawing every single panel and rivet line.
So, all credit goes to the original skin creator, whoever that might be; but...
This is a NEW skin (albeit based off stock), from a NEW template, created by ME!!! And let me tell ya, re-drawing all those little buggers is a real PITA!!!
 
Please read the readme for install instructions and perhaps some notes of interest, in particular about the unit badge decals.
 
Happy Landings!

North Atlantic Gray/Swirl/Faded Splinter Camo for KM Bf-109T10
 
Another skin for my "What If..." carrier based Bf-109T10, modded from Wolf257's original G10. It represents a fictional North Atlantic Gray (ish) swirly pattern, superimposed over the splinter. The splinter has been lightly painted over, so it still should 'bleed' through. The (fictional) squadron represented is JGM100, same as that which came in the Bf-109T10 mod.
 
Please read the readme for install instructions, and other notes of interest.
