Counters & screens for SF2: Korean Air War
I had once worked on several annual campaigns for the mythic Korean Air War Complete Mod for SF1, uploaded at CombatAce by Edward in 2005. I planned one campaign for each of the years 1951, 1952 and 1953, with actually one UN-sided and one Red-sided campaign for each year, six campaigns in all. Though the R&D work was very advanced, I have given up since long, and for the moment, I don't plan to reinvest time in this project before long. Yet there were many related works that I could deliver here for SF2:KAW after a swift conversion in picture format:
A batch of colorful, reduced-size counters, devoted to each of the nationalities significantly present during the Korean War, 1950-53. Besides having a more attractive map and less confused stacks, you can also find more easily the units you're after. As a rule, the counters with rectangular national flags and brigade/division/corps/army devices show the ground units, while the counters with roundels concern the air units.
Lots of screens initially intended to be linked to the campaigns I planned, now converted to jpg format (start screens, daily missions briefings, or campaign victory/ draw/defeat debriefings).
For each of the six planned campaigns, a briefing synopsis, and three end-of-campaign debriefings in case of victory/draw/defeat.
There is no notice about installation. Just consider everything graciously given here as raw materials to be renamed at will for building your own campaigns. Some new materials could also be uploaded in a next future.

F-103 Mirage IIIEBR Brazilian Air Force (refuelling probe)
F-103 Mirage IIIEBR Brazilian Air Force (refuelling probe)
Install - Need Update July 2012, DLC Mirage IIIO and DLC Mirage IIIEL
The F-103 Mirage IIIEBR represented a tremendous leap to the Brazilian Air Force, being over thirty years of service and more than 65,000 flying hours.
The versions of Mirage III acquired by FAB were developed primarily for air defense missions, but keep some capacity to act as platforms for ground attack.
The engine was a SNECMA ATAR 09C, whose maximum thrust with afterburning reached 13,900 pounds (6305 kg), leading the aircraft a maximum speed of Mach 2.2 (2,350 km / h).
The fire control system was based on radar Thomson-CSF Cyrano II, which originally operated the integrated air-to-air missile infrared Matra R530, later replaced by Israeli missile Python III.
As arms fixed, the aircraft was equipped with two 30 mm DEFA. For navigation, the Mirage III FAB type Doppler systems used. In the early '90s, the FAB joined the Squadron's missions Jaguar air-ground attack, starting to use free-fall bombs and rocket launchers.
Upgrading the F-103
In 1989 all F-103s entered a limited upgrade program. The upgrade consisted of the installation of canards and some minor mechanical and structural modifications. In 1991/1992 one F-103E (FAB 4929) received a refuelling probe installation and on April 22, 1992, the aircraft made its first refuelling contact with a KC-130H of the 1º/1º GT. The modified F-103 flew until 1993 but was then retired and the program to install refuelling probes on all Mirage fleet was cancelled.(The number FAB-4928, FAB-4930 and FAB-4931 are fictitious!)
(Portuguese)__________________________________________________________________________________
O F-103 Mirage IIIEBR representou um tremendo salto para a Força Aérea Brasileira, ficando mais de trinta anos de serviço e voando mais de 65.000 horas.
Os Mirage III das versões adquiridas pela FAB foram desenvolvidas primariamente para missões de defesa aérea, embora mantivessem alguma capacidade de atuar como plataformas de ataque ao solo.
O motor era um SNECMA ATAR 09C, cujo empuxo máximo com pós-combustão alcançava 13.900 libras (6.305 kg), levando a aeronave a velocidade máxima de Mach 2,2 (2.350 km/h).
O sistema de controle de fogo era baseado no radar Thomson-CSF Cyrano II, que originalmente operava integrado ao míssil ar-ar infra-vermelho Matra R530, depois substituído pelo míssil israelense Python III.
Como armamento fixo, a aeronave era dotada de dois canhões DEFA de 30 mm. Para navegação, os Mirage III da FAB utilizavam sistemas tipo Doppler. No inícios dos anos 90, a FAB incorporou ao Esquadrão Jaguar as missões de ataque ar-solo, passando a utilizar bombas de queda livre e lançadores de foguetes.
Atualizando o F-103
Em 1989, todos os F-103 entrou em um programa de atualização limitado. O melhoramento consiste na instalação de canards e algumas modificações mecânicas e estruturais menores. Em 1991/1992 um F-103E (FAB 4929), recebeu uma instalação de sonda de reabastecimento e, em 22 de abril de 1992, a aeronave fez o seu primeiro contato com um reabastecimento KC-130H do 1 º / 1 º GT. A modificação F-103 voaram até 1993, mas foi então aposentado e o programa para instalar sondas de reabastecimento em toda frota de Mirage foi cancelado. (Os número FAB-4928, FAB-4930 e FAB-4931 são fictícios !)

SF2 WW2 ETO Spitfire 9e, 332 Squadron Skin Pak
By Wrench
SF2 WW2 ETO Spitfire 9e, 332 Squadron Skin Pak 7/30/2013
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
**SF2:I/E (whichever!) Expansion Pak 2 REQUIRED to have the Spitfire 9e**
A reskinning of the stock 3W Spitfire 9e to No. 332 "Netherlands" Squadron during WW2 in Western Europe.
Skins remain in their 'lorez' 512 size, and are still in bmp format. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. All marking on the aircraft, excepting the Sky fuselage band are decals. This will make it exceptionally easy for skinners to create other RAF squadrons of this time period.
Included are modified data and loadout inis, at the current (7/2013) patch level. See 'changes' in the Notes section for full listing. And, for you viewing pleasure, a brand NEW SF2-style Hangar screen. The assumption (oh! that word!!) is being made that you've already made the aircraft player flyable, so no cockpit bits are included. Neither is my "One Click Restore Main Ini" (patent pending).
The canopy has been activated via the Standard Animation Keystroke , Shift/0
No weapons or pilot figures are included; you should have them already.
However, the AvHistory Merlin engine sound, is.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
Happy Landings!!

OTC Cuba repaint (new tileset)
By Stary
05-25-2013
mod updated to version 1.5:
new in version 1.5 is TOTAL rework of tileset, all tiles replaced with new mostly satellite-based high resolution tiles
some trees graphics modified to avoid size issues on various tiles (ie. Desert-to-mountain transitionals, mountain tiles)
Installation:
Unpack with 7zip to your OTC Cuba terrain folder, overwrite when asked.
initial upload readme:
This is >>really<< simple repaint and tweaks to OTC Cuba terrain looks.
Tiles have been recoloured, upscaled to 1024^ and undergo some tricky tricks to make them appear as they have more "depth" from air.
Trees have been scaled down and I replaced their graphics with better quality textures (I borrowed from my other mods) to fit the new overall tones.
At one point I tried to replace some of the ground textures with better quality ones, however as they were sticking out too much from the tileset I abandoned this idea.
I think that's all. Have fun,
and big THANK YOU! to original OTC creators and especially Eburger68 for putting this one together!

SF2 WW2 DH TigerMoth by RussoUK
By Wrench
SF2 WW2 DH TigerMoth by RussoUK
-- Something for Anyone --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
A new version of the DH Tigermoth, as seen in WW2 and the immeadiate post-war time frames.
This version now has (at no extra charge!!) bump mapping! There are 2 lods included; the one
set for use now has more subtle bumpping; the other a bit LESS subtle.
2 skins are inlucded, slightly revamped (read: partly repainted), and now with individual
Plane-in-group numbers/letters and serial number decals for:
"Camo": standard RAF day trainer scheme (I guess!); darkearth/green/yellow unders
"Silver": post-war, silver doped, from University of London Air School (iirc)
Most of the markings are painted on, with the exception of the Silver skin. All decals
positions have been plotted, which will make it easier for End Users that wish to, to create
other countries markings. A new Userlist.ini is included (for the most popular users, not
all are listed).
An SF2 version of my original 'box art' hangar is included, in jpg format.
The partial template is also included. It's in the main aircraft folder for other skinners
to 'have at it'.
This will give your fledgling flyers something to practice in. And it's a nice change to
just buzz around the countryside with, every once and a while.
**Note: this version is designed to REPLACE any/all previous versions!!**
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please
read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
Happy Landings!!

SF2 WW2 PBY-5A Catalina by Veltro2K
By Wrench
SF2 WW2 PBY-5A Catalina by Veltro2K
= For SF2, (Full 5 RECCOMENDED!!!) =
**NOTE: due to the EXTENSIVE modifications performed on the various inis, this mod will !!Absolutely!! =NOT= work in SF/Wo* game at any patch level. A FUll 5 Merged install is required, due to the use of SF2NA statements in the data ini, pertaining to Naval Search and Naval Strike.**
This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's WW2 PBY-5A Catalina flying boat patrol bomber aircraft.
While the Game Engine dosent support amphidexterious operations off water, the wing floats extend/retract with the H (arrestor hook) key.
This pack contains just the single skin, USN42. This is a rather 'generic' skin, and represents USN VP squadrons from approximately May 1942, when the red ball and rudder stripes were removed. This also -more or less- coincides with the the arrival in greater strentgh in squadron service, of the -5A amphibibian version (which this is), replacing the -4 and -5 seaplane only variant.
Other skins ARE needed; the template for this aircraft should be available still in the SF/Wo* 1stGen downloads section. If not, I'll upload my copy. (we could use RNFAA, RNZAF, USN 3-tone and overall Black for the "Black Cats")
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read, too
The Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, you SHOULD redownload this pak; . There HAVE been MANY changes and additions in several of the inis, in respect to SF2NA.
**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**.
Happy Landings!

As they stand, they're quite basic. As always, further improvements and enhancements are WELCOMED and more than encouraged!!

VPAF 921th Regiment "Sao Do" MiG-17 Fresco A(1965)
By regula50
Campaign VPAF 921th Regiment "Sao Do" 1965(MiG-17 Fresco A)
For Wings over Vietnam.
This campaign with 90 missions for the VPAF 921th Regiment cover the periode Abril 3, 1965 to Dec 31, 1965.
Historical accurate with the main units and bases deployment by Apr 1965.
Campaign included the 20 numbers(decals)for the 20 VPAF MiG-17s and selection of photos with pilots VPAF, USN, USMC and USAF for PilotData folder.
VPAF and the MiG-17
On February 3 1964, Lt. Gen. Hoang Van Thai (North Vietnam’s Deputy Defence Minister) ordered the creation of the 921th Fighter Regiment «Sao Dao» («Red Star») and put it under the command of Lt. Col.
Dao Dinh Luyen.
That was the beginning of the MiG-17’s career in VPAF. 921th Regiment "Sao Do" began the war operating the MiG-17 Fresco A, a original batch of 20 jets delivered in 1964 from Soviet Union. After training in China this first group of pilots and jets were recalled in Vietnam and began operations on Apr 3, 1965.

SF2 WW2 ETO Hawker Typhoon Mk.1B (DAT)
By Wrench
SF2 WW2 ETO Hawker Typhoon Mk.1B (DAT)
= For SF2 (Full4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED!)
**This mod -MAY- work in 1stGen game installs. But this has not/cannot be tested by me.**
This pak contains mods for the Dev A-Teams Hawker Typhoon IB as seen in the ETO
This is a semi-complete aircraft mod, and as per DAT directives, the aircraft lod is =NOT= included. So, those users that cannot access the DAT downloads, you're advised to skip this, as it's of no use to you. Everything else is included (pretty much!).
Those users with access, =WILL= be transfering the lod from a seperate DAT download of the Hawker Typhoon IB.
This mod has been built and tested with the...
Typhoon-R11.lod (dated 8/3/2005
from their WW2 Aircraft Downloads section.
This pacakge contains the (almost) complete aircraft, and two skins.
You'll have:
No. 175 Squadron (code HH)
No. 609 Squadron "West Riding" (code PR)
The skins are completly new, from my Home Grown Template , and remains in bmp format. New decals were created for Squadron Code letters, serials, plane-in-group letters and others.
The serials are pooled, and are 'generic' in nature, as they represent no particular aircraft within the unit(s) depicted, but ARE for the model variant represented. Colors are FS matched as close as possible. When possible, the Squadron Crest is used for the 'paint chip' on the loadout screen.
All fuselage markings are decals (wing roundels remain painted on); this will allow super easy creation of other squadrons by simply creating a new SCode or **(2letter) decal, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
My 1stGen original "Box Art" style Hangar and/or Loading screens have been rebuilt to SF2-spec for this package. They are in jpg format. Damage textures are new, in DDS format.
Also included, is a new drop tank, by Raven, with a built in pylon (as it's missing from the aircraft model itself). See Notes for more on loadouts.
The rockets and guns you should already have, so they are NOT included.
The canopy has been switched to the Standare Manual Animation Keystroke , Shift/0.
The FM may need further small adjustments (ok, maybe more than a little...).
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!
All the original DAT readmes are included, for historical and ownership/copyright purposes.
It is HIGHLY suggested you unzip this archive FIRST, and READ the install instructions BEFORE installing this mod. So you know EXACTLY what to do..
Good Hunting!

Nanuchka I & II class corvettes
This model represents the Nanuchka class corvette, a Cold War era missile boat used by the Soviet Union and several export customers.
Three different versions of the ship are provided:
Nanuchka I class corvette (Soviet version; classified as a frigate in game so that it can appear in Soviet task forces)
Nanuchka I class missile boat (Soviet version; classified as a patrol boat)
Nanuchka II class missile boat (export version for India, Algeria, and Libya; classified as a patrol boat)
All three versions may be installed together with no conflicts or other issues.
The Nanuchka series are quite heavily armed for their size, with a 57mm twin gun, SA-N-4 Gecko launcher, and either six SS-N-9 Siren missiles (Nanuchka I) or four SS-N-2C Styx missiles (Nanuchka II). Naturally, all of these weapons are fully functional on the models.
See the readme for full details. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

F-105D PSD Layered Templates for SF2
By Centurion-1
These are layered Photoshop templates for the stock Thirdwire F-105D sized 1024x1024. These are made partially by hand and partially by superimposing modified stock USAF silver textures, so the overall detail is 99% of the default skins + a little extra in the form of new paint chips and weathering.
Credits:
Me
Ludo M.54 for initial work (rivets and panel lines)
To be noted i use blending effects to achieve uniform colors a lot so if some layer does not change color if you try a hue/saturation change, that's why. So go instead to Blending options and color overlay. I use this to achieve uniform coloring on all textures.
Have fun!

RAF Typhoon FGR4 Skinpack
RAF Typhoon FGR4 Skinpack
This pack is designed to replace/update the decals provided as part of Brain 32’s SF2 release of Bongodrivers EF2000 Typhoon
In addition it will also update my previous skins/decals for the Typhoon and add 2 new Squadrons – 1(F) Squadron and 41 Squadron.
You need to have the original add-on aircraft installed to use this pack – it can be downloaded from
http://combatace.com/files/file/9332-ef-2000-eurofighter-sf2/
Recommended Install Instructions:-
As this pack changes the installed decals and reflects the current equipment levels of the Squadrons represented within I strongly suggest that the following steps are used to install the pack.
Install the original add-on to the SF2 saved game/mod directory of your choice.
Open the Objects/Decals/Typhoon folder in your saved game folder
Delete all the RAF skin folders (3 sqn, 11 sqn, 17 sqn and 29 sqn)
Open the RAF Typhoon FGR4 Skinpack and extract the objects folder inside.
Copy the objects folder to your saved game folder and allow it to merge with the existing objects folder. Allow any file overwrites.
Load up the version of SF2 you have installed it to and ENJOY.
All credit deservedly goes to Bongodriver for the original and Brain 32 for converting it to SF2.

SF2 WW2 Douglas TBD-1 Devastator Tweeks Pak (DAT)
By Wrench
SF2 WW2 Douglas TBD-1 Devastator Tweeks Pak (DAT)
For SF2, Full-5 Merged (RECCOMENDED!!!)
*Designed for use in a PTO-centric mods folder built =FROM= the SF2:NA exe. NA coding is required for some statements I've changed/added.*
**This mod will NOT work in 1stGen SF/Wo* game installs. Those that attempt to do so, do so at their own risk. No support is/will be available. The skins will most likely work in SF/Wo*, if they are converted BACK to bmp from DDS. This has not, and cannot be tested by me. You have been warned/advised**
Those users that cannot access the DAT downloads, you're advised to skip this, as it's of no use to you.
This is a semi-complete aircraft mod, consisting of mostly skins, decals, inis and various and sundry other needed bits and parts.
This package contains a rebuild of my skins for the Dev A-Team's Douglas TBD Devestator naval attack/torpedo bomber.
It is desinged to be used with their latest lod,
TBD1A-R1.lod (dated 9/21/2011, make sure you get the Gen2 version!!)
The skins have been partly redone to match the new mapping, and are in DDS format.
Included are several modified inis, that correct/add/change some things. You are advised to BACKUP any/all originals. The Install instructions list which and what to delete or backup.
This package contains nearly 100% historical skins and decal markings for US Navy TBDs as seen at both the Battle of the Coral Sea, and The Battle of Midway; their hour of greatest Triumph and Tragedy. I say 'nearly' 100%, as I couldn't quite get some of the wear-and-tear and fabric effects on the skin exactly as they should be, or as I wanted. Also, the BuNums for the VT-2 skin are not 100% match to Modex. Colors have been FS matched, as best as possible, to BuAer spec.
The units depicted are...
Battle of the Coral Sea:
VT-2 USS LEXINGTON
Battle of Midway:
VT-3, USS YORKTOWN
VT-6, USS ENTERPRISE
VT-8, USS HORNET
Unfortnately, I was unable to accurately 'pin down' the modex-to-BuNms-to-crew for VT-2 at Coral Sea. (I HAVE the crew listings, but not the BuNums)
For the Midway Devestator squadrons, Modex and BuNums have been matched =EXACTLY= to their partiuclar aircraft, exactly as placed within each division of each squadron on each ship represented here. A number list for each squadron is included, with the crew names for each aircraft. Their names will show on the Loadout screen.
Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins (which it actually shouldn't be -- the Midway Devestator's numbers.lst has them in their historicaly correct order). New damage textures, in DDS format, are supplied, as is an 'new' engine sound from the AvHistory set.
NOTE: for VT-3, #s 13 & 14 were spare aircraft, that went down with YORKTOWN when she was sunk; research seems to indicate they did not participate in the Battle.
Each skin's paint chip is the historically correct Squadron Patch.
New 'box art' style Hangar Screens are included; The Loading screen artwork depicts Ens. George Gay's attack on AKAGI (the sole survivor of VT-8 whom I had to honor of meeting some years ago)
Included is the new Mk.13 torpedo by Veltro2K
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! In fact, it would be better if one unzipped this archive FIRST, and read all the instructions BEFORE installing this mod. It will make things go easier.
All original DAT readmes are included, for historical and ownership/copyright purposes.
Good Luck, and Good Hunting!

ps: I wanted to get this out by June 4, the anniversery of the Battle of Midway. I had NO idea the DAT would be releasing their All-Inclusive PTO until last night. This in no way changed my plans; but may make it easier for you all to use this.
