SF2 A-4B Skyhawk VA-12 Skin/Decals Pack              2/25/2018
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
*Can be used in any install that has access to the A-4B*
A new skin for the A-4B Skyhawk. The skin included is for:
VA-12 Flying Ubangis , 
as embarked aboard USS Shangri-la (CVA-38), in the North Atlantic & Mediterranean circa 1960/61 
Skins remain in their "as issued via 3W" stock bmp format. Most markings are decals, excepting certain squadron color tags on the rudder and fuselage.  These had to be painted on, simply because it was much easier. There are 24 Modex numbers and serial numbers (BuNums). BuNums are historiclly correct; unfortunately, they could not be matched to their corresponding Modex.
When on the Loadout screen, for skin/squadron selection, on the Dropdown menu you'll see
VA-12 Flying Ubangis (1960/61)
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... Also, DO give the Notes section a read as well, for enlightenments, illuminations, and general ramblings. 
Happy Landings!

SF2 A-4E (67) Skyhawk VA-45 Skin/Decals Pack              1/25/2018
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
*Can be used in any install that has access to the A-4E_67*
A new skin for the A-4E (67) Skyhawk. Also included, are a modified Data and loadout inis, correcting/adding to the Mission tasking, loadouts, Player operated manual canopy, and the landing light. Several new parts are included that correct and add the missing outer Sidewinder rails.
The skin included is for:
VA-45, Det.1
embarked aboard USS INTREPID circa 1972-73, in the North Atlantic & Mediterranean as part of CVSG-56.
Skins remain in their "as issued via 3W" stock bmp format. Most markings are decals, excepting certain squadron tags on the rudder.  These had to be painted on due to number-of-decals-per-mesh restrictions. There are 18 Modex numbers and serial numbers (BuNums). VA-45's BuNums are historiclly correct; unfortunately, they could not be matched to their corresponding Modex.
Also added, via Magical Ini Dancing (tm) are missile rails for the OUTBOARD pylons, as is correct for all 5-hard-pointed Skyhawks. These are added via the loadout ini through various magical transformations and incantations. They are only used in the "Air-to-Air" tasking (and Recon), and will/do not effect any Strike, CAS, Auntie-Ship or other attack missions.
These modification can also be added, using the same data ini edits, to all the A-4E and later models. A lightened and brightened gunsight tga is also included for those of us with weaker eyes.
 
Historically speaking, these A-4 squadrons (and/or detachments) were assigned to the Essex class carriers that had been convered to "CVS" or anti-submarine warfare carriers. The Skyhawks embarked were not only tasked with light strike, but Combat Air Patrols to protect the ship and the ASW assets.
The canopy uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0.
When on the Loadout screen, for skin/squadron selection, on the Dropdown menu you'll see
VA-45 Blackbirds Det 1 (CVS-11 1972-3)
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... Also, DO give the Notes section a read as well, for enlightenments, illuminations, and general ramblings. With MANY thanks to Nyghtfall for his invaluable assistance!!! :)
Happy Landings!

What is it?
It's a paint scheme for the Su-27 Flanker of the Belkan Air Force, 5th Air Division, 23rd Tactical Fighter Squadron, "Gelb" Team from the game Ace Combat Zero
The Gelb Team, of the Belkan Air Force's 23rd Tactical Fighter Squadron, consists of a two-plane formation of two Su-37 Terminators. The squad's leader, Major Orbert Jager, and his wingman, Lieutenant Rainer Altman, were the pilots assigned to the Gelb Team. They were commonly assigned to interception missions along the Hydrian Line, the southern defence line. Due to their flawless and synchronized flying style, the two pilots became known as the "Coupled Cormorants".
In the beginning of the Belkan War in 1995, the Gelb Team was a large part of Belka's air and ground superiority, despite their odd formation. It was the flexibility their formation provided which allowed them to be more effective than a classic fighter squadron. However, when the Allied Forces went on the offensive, the Hydrian Line was stretched thin. The Gelb Team was forced to sortie five times a day in order to maintain the line, but due to the sudden attack, were left with little logistics support and not receiving even basic maintenance for their aircraft.
Despite being overused, the "Coupled Cormorants" maintained the battle-line, until they were sent to the Ustian capital, Directus, in order to stop the city from being retaken by the Allied Forces. However, they arrived late into the battlefield, but did engage the Ustian 6th Air Division, 66th Air Force Unit "Galm Team" and were shot down. The flight leader was killed in action, but Gelb 2 his wingman ejected safely and later went on to settle in the city where he was shot down over.
**I've used Marcfighter's Su-27 Flanker instead due to it being more commonly used, in addition to the fact that the template is actually available.**

It's a paintscheme for the SAAB J-35J Draken  and Dassault Rafale-M F1of the Sapin Air Force, 9th Air and Land Division, 11th Tactical Fighter Squadron "Espada" from the game Ace Combat Zero
Espada Team, formerly members of the 9th Air and Land Division, 11th Tactical Fighter Squadron, is a fighter squadron from Sapin that participated in the A World With No Boundaries uprising.
The operational history behind the Espada Squadron is unknown, but it is known that Marcela Vasquez held a relationship with her commander, Alberto Lopez. In October of 1995, Lopez defected to A World With No Boundaries movement that rose in central Osea after the Belkan War, abandoning their base in Sapin and disappearing without a trace. They were not the only soldiers from Sapin to join the group, as Air Force commander Ramos Gonzales and his Suerte Squadron followed suit. 
On 25 December of 1995, the squadron accompanied the XB-0 Hresvelgr during the bombing of Lumen in the coup d'etat, along with other rebel pilots from the movement, and carried out airstrikes on Valais Air Base later that day. Galm Team pursued the XB-0 to the Waldreich Mountains, where it clashed with Espada. Vasquez and Lopez were shot down, and the squadron was disbanded.
