SF2 MiG-29C "Fulcrum-C" Algerian Air Force Skin Pack                         8/29/2025
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Any & All, Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
This is a revamp of a skin released in 2015 for The Mirage Factory's MiG-29C "Fulcrum-C" as used by the Algerian Air Force (QJJ). The original skin was by ADM17 from 2015. This package will replace that skin & decal set completely.  
Please note, in the TMF Pack, it's for the just "Plane Jane" MiG-29C (no suffix).
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The Serial numbers are historically correct for this aircraft. You'll have 24 of them. The skin has been converted from 12meg bmps to jpgs, saving a considerable amount of space!! Resolution stays at 2048x.
When on the Loadout Page, you'll see: 
193 Esc. de Chasse (QJJ) <1999
As you can see, there is an active start date (listed in the texture set ini) and with luck it will turn on in 1999. This is when the QJJ started operating the Fulcrums
I have included a modified data and loadout ini. The data ini gives the aircraft some "hardening" (via aluminum armor), and the loadout ini adds the drop tank for all missions. All weapons used are from the TMF MiG-29 Super Pack, available at the following URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/12489-the-mirage-factory-mig-29-fulcrum-mod/
 I've also included a new pilot figure, "Red7001".  The canopy is also activated, it uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). 
.
Included is a skin-specific Hangar Screen. As it's named the same as the original, no editing is required to install!. 
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! Also, the Notes section has more details on the changes. 
Happy Landings!

-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
Here is a new(ish) skin, decal and ini set for the Veltro2k's Sukhoi Su-24MK "Fencer-D"", as used by the Algerian Air Force from 1989 thru the late 2020s. If you don't have the aircraft, it can be found at the following URL:

All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The Serial numbers are 100% historically correct for this type of aircraft.  You'll have 34 of them (I think that's ALL of them!). The skin is in jpg format (2048x), and is reused (rebadged?) from Slick Cowboys' "Improved Fencer Skins Pack" from 2015.
When on the Loadout Page, you'll see:

The actual folder name is QJJCamo.
I have included a modified data and loadout ini. The data ini gives the aircraft some "hardening" (via aluminum armor), and the loadout ini adds the drop tank for all missions. I've also included a new pilot figure, "Red7002" and ejection seat (K-36D) from Slick Cowboys' pack.  I've included the weapons from the Original 2011 Release (tm) of the Fencer Pack, and made MANY adjustments (See "Notes" below).
The canopy is also reset to manual control and it uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero).

Iberian Peninsula/North West Africa Terrain   ver 2.0                                                           3/15/25
 -- For SF2:Europe, or a Fully Merged Install --
This is a revamp/rebuild of the Spain, Portugal, Morocco and Algeria (parts thereof) terrain map from Cangas' "Operation Pelayo". It has been EXTENSIVELY reworked with many major corrections to tiling, height fields, target areas and the usual visual upgrades. Be it known, that the original campaign will most likely be VERY broken by all the terrain upgrades. Those that can, are encouraged to make the necessary changes to match this upgrade (it's included in this download).
==Please note: this terrain needs the SF2:E GermanyCE cat to fully operate, as several items on the map are only in that terrain cat. So, as stated in the header, Fully Merged or SF2:E REQUIRED.==
*Be Advised! There are NO /Objects included with this package -- unfortunately, it put this terrain zip over the allowed limit of 500,000k. They are being released separately.
*Geophysical Disclaimer: some rivers and other water features may not follow their Real Life (tm) courses, be placed in their Real Life (tm) locations, or exist at all. Several cities,  other physical features and target areas will also fall into that classification. Due to some height field irregularities, some major airports are also NOT present. If added, the "flattening" would have changed the landscape too much for my liking. Some target areas (cities, etc.) exist only as named places, with no strategic or tactical values. Just someplace to fly over. *
As should be expected, there are a boatload of various Easter Eggs scattered all over the map. There are also many new tiles, and new TODs to go with them. I've also included the original "Operation Pelayo" campaign ini for those with the talent to adjust and edit it for use with this updated terrain. OTH, you'll have to find your own aircraft for the various countries.
Limited Nations is set the "TRUE", and there are NO restrictions on any mission types. The map has a 'given' start date of 1956, when Morocco gained independence. Although, it IS more designed for mid-1960s and later. This terrain is also =NOT= set as a Naval Map (meaning: no _water bmp with proper CV zones), even though there are several regional powers with aircraft carriers that would be usable. 
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them!!!

SF2 MiG-23MF "Flogger-B" Algerian Air Force Skin Pack                         8/29/2025
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
Here be 2 new skins and decal sets for the stock 3W MiG-23MF "Flogger-B" as used by the Algerian Air Force from 1980 until it's retirement around 2010.  The early skin is a rebadging of the Syrian camo (closest to Real Life), and the later skin is in a 2-tone Sand/Dark Earth by Gerwin. There is an active date switch for the later skin (see below)
If you have made this plane flyable, and use the "read only main ini trick", you'll have to turn that off after adding this skin. See "Installation" for more details.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The Serial numbers are historically correct for this type of aircraft (23MF). You'll have 18 of them. However, while most the numbers are correct, they should be considered Generic in nature, as I could not find which squadron each served in. So, I just assigned it to one that was known to operate this model. On the Number list in, any marked with a star (*) are 100% correct for this aircraft type. Those with no markings, are "best guess" fillers. The same serial number decals are used for both skins.
When on the Loadout Page, you'll see: 
For the Early skin:
28e Escadron d'Interception (QJJ)<1980
For the Later skin:
28e Escadron d'Interception (QJJ)<1990
As you can see, there is an active start date (listing in the texture set ini) and will luck it will turn on in 1990. Again, this is a 'best guess' as to when the QJJ went to the 2-tone.
I have included a modified data and loadout ini. The data ini gives the aircraft some "hardening" (via aluminum armor), and the loadout ini adds the drop tank for all missions. All weapons used are stock, in-game items, so no additions are needed.  I've also included a new pilot figure, "Red3201".  The canopy is also activated, it uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). 
What I have NOT given you, are the bits and bobs necessary to make it Player Flyable (tm). If you haven't done this, you'll have to root around for the needed cockpit in the CA downloads; it's not very hard to find.
As an Extra Added Bonus (tm) just because I like you all, you get not one, not two, but THREE brand new hangar screens!! One is a 'generic' MiG-23, and the other 2 are skin-specific for these new Algerian ones. Instructions are in the "To Install" section down below.

SF2 MiG-23BN "Flogger-H" Algerian Air Force Skin Pack                         8/29/2025
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
Here 2 new skins for the stock 3W MiG-23BN "Flogger-H", as used by the Algerian Air Force from 1980 until it's retirement around 2005. The first skin is a rebadging of the stock Syrian 3-tone skin (closest in colors and pattern), and the second is a later Sand/Dark Earth camo by Gerwin (adapted from his 1stGen release).
If you have made this plane flyable, and use the "read only main ini trick", you'll have to turn that off after adding these skins. See "Installation" for more details.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The Serial numbers are historically correct for this type of aircraft (23BN). You'll have 24 of them, and both skins use them. I've assigned it to the squadron known to operate this model.  The skins remain in bmp format, in "3W Rez" (512x).
When on the Loadout Page, you'll see: 
Camo 1 - 
27e Escadron d'Attaque (QJJ)<1979
Camo 2  (Sand/Dark Earth)
27e Escadron d'Attaque (QJJ)<1990
As you can see, there is an active start date (as listed in the texture set ini) and will luck it will turn on in 1979, and then will switch in 1990. This is a 'best guess' as to the year of the switch; research has turned up no data.
I have included a modified data and loadout ini. The data ini gives the aircraft some "hardening" (via aluminum armor), and the loadout ini adds the drop tank for all missions. I've also included a new pilot figure, "Red7001".  The canopy is also activated, it uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). 
What I have NOT given you, are the bits and bobs necessary to make it Player Flyable (tm). If you haven't done this, you'll have to root around for the needed cockpit in the CA downloads; it's not very hard to find (it's by Stary). However, I have given you repainted gunsight TGAs. They're in a very bright yellow, so as to make it easier to see for us Old Folks (tm). I've left original colored copies of all the gunsight tgas in the /cockpit folder, just in case you don't like the bright ones. You also get not one, not two, but THREE hangar screens!! One is a 'generic' MiG-23, and the other 2 are skin-specific for these new Algerian ones. Instructions are in the "To Install" section down below.

Here we have a new Home Grown Template (tm) for the stock MiG-21bis and bis B. There is a good possibility that it may also work on M, MF and others. I've not tested this, however.
The template is in medium rez, 1024x1024. All new panel and rivet lines, and some weathering. There is also a "base" skin of 2-tone Sand/Dark Earth camo over a light blue-gray underside.
Other texture artists are encouraged to make any and ally changes to improve it. 
Happy Skinning!

SF2 MiG-21bisB "Fishbed-N" Algerian Air Force Skin Pack                         8/29/2025
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
Here is a brand new skin for the stock 3W MiG-21bisB "Fishbed-N", as used by the Algerian Air Force from 1980 until it's retirement in the early 2000s. This is a completely new skin, created from a Home Grown Template (tm) . The aircraft is finished in late model Sand/Dark Earth with light gray undersides. The template IS included with this mod, and will also be uploaded separately.
If you have made this plane flyable, and use the "read only main ini trick", you'll have to turn that off after adding this skin, even though this does replace a stock one. See "Installation" for more details.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The Serial numbers are historically correct for this type of aircraft (21bisB). You'll have 18 of them. However, while all the numbers are correct, they should be considered Generic in nature, as I could not find which squadron each served in. So, I just assigned it to one that was known to operate this model.  The skin in jpg format, in 1024x1024.
When on the Loadout Page, you'll see: 
140e Escadron de Chasse (Algeria)<1980
As you can see, there is an active start date (listing in the texture set ini) and will luck it will turn on in 1980 :) (it's also the same start date for the QJJ upon receiving the 21bis)
I have included a modified data and loadout ini. The data ini gives the aircraft some "hardening" (via aluminum armor), and the loadout ini adds the drop tank for all missions. I've also included a new pilot figure, "Red7001".  The canopy is also activated, it uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero).
