F-94B "Starfire" Generic USAF Skin for SF, WoV & WoE
A "plain old garden variety" natural metal skin for Pasko's F-94B 'Starfire'. I created it from new templates, based on both the F-80 and F-94 skins (there are several identical bmps between them). It represents no actual squadron, but is closest to the 68th FIS. Hence, the generic "USAF" tagline.
This would be a usefull skin for a Korean-era aircraft, or for any time frame in the early 1950s.
New serial and buzz number decals were created as well, which are based off aircraft serial numbers. The numbers are all actual serials and buzz nums, as issued by the USAF
New damage tga's are provided, for that 'shot up bullet holes' look, if you let the enemy get close enough to shoot you!
A new Loading Screen is also provided. It's a nice color picture I found on the net
PLEASE read the enclose readme for full install instructions and general nonsense. :yes:
Enjoy!

This skin is referred to one of two G-91R1 that arrived at Fort Rucker(Alabama) on January 1961 to be tested from US ARMY.
Other two G-91R3 instead was tested from USAF at Kirtland AFB(New Mexico) in the same year;naturally in the next days I upload a series of skin that illustrated the story of this plane in the Italian Air Force.

F-80 Shooting Star, 416th FG, circa post-1947 Skin for SF, WoV & WoE
This is a re-vamp of my WW2: 46 PTO P-80 skin into something closer to the post-USAF formation time frame (ie: after October 1947)
This is skin represents aircraft from the 416th FG, the first operational unit to field the Lockheed 'Shooting Star' (albeit the A model, not the C we have - but, what the hay, it works!!). In saying 'revamped', means that I created new templates from the original skin that came with the aircraft upon it's release some years ago, so all glory for the original goes the original skinner.
There are redrawn panel and rivet lines, following the originals.
I've tried to recreate the aircraft nose arts as close as possible to those used by the 416th, and if you have the WW2: 46 PTO version, you'll probably recognize some of them. There ARE historically correct ones; 6 or 7 I think, but for the most part some of the others are just there because I hate to waste good decals ;)
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.
BE ADVISED -- there may be nudity in some of the nose art decals, which is surely against post-war regs ... If you find beautiful, scantily clad women offensive; see a doctor quickly, as there's probably something very, very wrong with you!!! (excepting our female flyers, of course -- sorry, no beefcake for you! Well, actually, just one)
PLEASE!!! read the enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions - the notes included will make it much easier for you to get this up and running.
Happy Landings!

F-94B "Starfire" 449th FIS Skin, Decal & Ini Updates for SF, WoV & WoE
Hello Fellow Fliers!!
This little package will update the original skin for the 449th FIS, by adding new individual aircraft serial and buzz numbers for 26 aircraft. There are also 2 replacement skin bmps, as I had to repaint them to remove the painted on lettering.
It is designed to =replace= the existing skin, with the addition of the new decals. Some of the original decals are reused, and therefore are NOT included. See below in the "TO INSTALL" section for full instructions.
This will give you a nice skin, with the Arctic Red trim for those especially cold climates...such as found in Alaska or NW America. --- and let me tell, ya it really looks good against the snowy backgrounds!!!
Historical accuracy is ONLY claimed on the first 4 serial & buzz numbers, as they were the only ones I had photos of.
Also included is an updated data ini and the cockpit ini that will allow you to use the F-86D cockpit in your Starfire. The cockpit itself is NOT included, you'll have to copy over the cockpit folder from your Sabre-Dog. All inis and a few usefull bmps are provided, to make the switch over as easy as possible. This is Lexx_Luthor's fix, and all credit goes to him
PLEASE!!!! read the enclosed readme for full, detailed, step-by-step instructions, and listing of credits.
Enjoy!

-- Please Note: this skin is designed to replace the skin folder marked "1D" in your original F-89D install --
All the skin bmps have been repainted, using new templates created by me, based off Volk's original skins. I've duplicated his original work, so all credit goes to him for skin creation...I've basically just redone them to make use of the new panel, rivet lines and new decals created by me for the serial and buzz numbers
Modified main, data, cockpit, avionics and loadout inis are included. These reflect changes to operational uses as seen in the "Weapons Fixes and Loadouts" thread I maintain at CombatAce.
The weapons have been completly revamped, using a trick found by Lexx_Luthor over at the 3rd Wire boards, concerning multiple FFAR installations.
NEW damage tgas are also supplied -- what? you think those Commie gunners are going to sit there and let you blow them full of holes????
Brand new, and available in this mod only -- Hangar and Loading screens!!
You -WILL- be using the Weapons Editor to add the new FFAR rockets...make sure you have the latest version, the one that came in the 6/06 Weapons Pak.

Not really a skin; this is a set of decals for the Suez Crisis added to the original silver skin by Gramps.
