    1. SF F/A-18A (C15) Hornet (TMF) Spanish Air Force Pack  v.2                                   8/14/2025
      -For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 Merged Suggested)
      This is a remod of the 2009 upload of the Spanish Air Force F/A-18A (aka "C.15") Hornet originally by Blackfish. This creates a nation specific version of the aircraft, and replaces the 2009 version completely.   
      As there was no readme for the original mod, at the bottom of this document, I've added the text from the announcement thread. If you have this original mod, you are advised to Delete It Completely, as this one replaces it in toto. This is also designed to NOT conflict with the F/A-18s as seen in the TMF Hornet Mega Pack, also available here are CA. As this uses a unique name (C-15) this should pose no issues.
      All original decals are reused, and are now randomized for the 3 squadrons. Loadouts have been adjusted (See Notes). The skins remain in their original BMP format. My research has indicated all the serial numbers from the original mod are historically correct for the squadrons depicted. A new SF2 compliant hangar screen was also created for this mod.
      The 3 EDA squadron represented herein are:
      Ala 12
      Ala 15
      Ala 46, 462 Esq

      The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). 
      I've included the drop tanks, pilot figure and ejection seat.  What I have NOT done is include any other weapons, effects, sounds or RWR tgas for the TEWS. These are all found in the TMF Hornet pack. I'm making the assumption (oh! that WORD!!!) you already have them.
      When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
      C-15 Hornet (EDA) (TMF)
      As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. The 'Change Log' is, of course, in the Notes section below. 
      Good Hunting & Happy Landings!

    2. SF2 Su-7BMK "Fitter-C" Algerian Air Force Skin Pack                                             8/30/2025
      -For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
      Here is a new(ish) skin for the stock 3W Sukhoi Su-7BMK "Fitter-C"", as used by the Algerian Air Force from 1972 thru the late 1980s. The aircraft is painted in Egyptian Nile Style camo, as used when these aircraft were sent to Egypt in 1973,  but with the correct style serial number decals. This is a 'rebadging' of the stock 3W skin. Research has NOT turned up any information or pictures of any other paint schemes from when they were first delivered.  
      If you have made this aircraft 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 the 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.  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.  The skin remain in it's 'as issued' BMP format (3w Rez)
      When on the Loadout Page, you'll see: 
      Algerian Camo (Nile Style)<1972
      This is changed from the original listing on the texture set inis, because of the addition of specific decal randomization text. 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, "RedAir1".  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. 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). 
      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!

    3. SF2 MiG-21MF "Fishbed-J" Algerian Air Force Skin Pack                                   8/24/2025
      -For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
      Here is a new(ish) skin for the stock 3W MiG-21MF "Fishbed-J"", as used by the Algerian Air Force from 1965 thru the early 1980s. Basically,  Egyptian Nile camo, as used when these aircraft were sent to Egypt in 1973, and how they returned afterwards. but with the correct style serial number decals. If YOU have and use the "read only main ini trick", you'll have to turn that off after adding this skin, even though this does replace the 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 (21MF). 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 remain in it's 'as issued' BMP format (3w Rez)
      When on the Loadout Page, you'll see: 
      19e Escadron de Combat  (Nile Style)
      This is changed from the original listing on the texture set inis, because of the addition of specific decal randomization text. The actual folder name (QJJCamo1) remains the same.
      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, "RedAir1".  The canopy is also activated, it uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero).

    4. SF2 MiG-17F "Fresco-C" Moroccan Air Force Skin Pack                             8/24/2025
      -For SF2 =ONLY= (Any & All, Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
      Here is a new skin for stock 3W MiG-17 "Fresco-C", representing those as used by the Moroccan Air Force from 1961 thru the late 1970s/ early 1980s.  If you 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 skin is a rebadged stock 3W 'silver' (aka NMF). You get 26 serial and "bort" numbers. The numbers are mostly historic in nature. On the Number list ini, any marked with the star (*) have been positively match to each other (bort & serial). The others are best guess, and should be considered generic in nature. 
      When on the Loadout Page, you'll see 
      RMoAF Silver (<1961)
      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.

    5. SF2 MiG-17F "Fresco-C" Algerian Air Force Skin Pack                                                            8/24/2025
      -For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
      Here are 2 new(ish) skins for the stock 3W MiG-17 "Fresco-C", as used by the Algerian Air Force from 1965 thru the early 1980s. Basically, slight 'rebadging' of the stock "QJJSilver1" and "QJJCamo1" (Nile Style), but with corrected serial number decals. I've =not= included any of the bits to make it flyable, but if you have, and use the "read only main ini trick", you'll have to turn that off after adding this skin, even though this does replace the stock one. See "Installation" for more details.
      All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The two sets of Serial numbers are historically correct (ish). You'll have 24 for the NMF, and 18 for the Camo. However, while all the numbers are correct, they should be considered Generic in nature, as I could not find which squadron each served in. Any marked with the cross (or plus sign +) are conjectural, as I could not find any reference to them. The Post 1968 (Camo) skin uses the "FG-**" style. Both skins remain in their 'as issued' BMP format (3w Rez)
      When on the Loadout Page, you'll see 
      Algerian Silver (1964)
      Algerian Camo (<1968)
      This is NOT changed from the original listing on the texture set inis, with the exception of adding specific decal randomization text, and the year tags.
      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, "RedAir1".  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. (cough - by Stary). I have, however given you the VK-1F engine sound.

    6. SF2 MiG-21F-13 Algerian Air Force Skin Pack                                                            8/22/2025
      -For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
      This is a new(ish) skin for the stock 3W MiG-21F-13 "Fishbed-C", as used by the Algerian Air Force from 1965 thru the early 1980s. This skin is named the same as the stock "QJJSilver1", but replaces it with all new correct serial number decals. I've =not= included any of the bits to make it flyable, but if you have, and use the "read only main ini trick", you'll have to turn that off after adding this skin, even though this does replace the stock one. See "Installation" for more details.
      All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All 24 Serial numbers are 100% historically correct. 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've assigned them to a QJJ squadron that DID use the Fishbed-C. The SF2 'date switch' is used to create the "start date" for when Algeria received their MiG-21F-13s (btw, it's 1965).
      When on the Loadout Page, instead of the Generic "QJJSilver1" name, you'll see
      11e Escadron de Chasse (Algeria)
      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, "RedAir1". For those of us with older eyes, I've given you brightly (re)painted gunsight tgas for the cockpit. 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.
      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. Also in the Notes, is a list of "Coming Attractions" (you knows, WIPs)

    7. SF2 F-16AM Falcon, Portugal (TMF) Pack                                                                   8/21/2025
      -For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 Merged Suggested)
      This is a rebuild of a mod from 2011(ish) of The Mirage Factory's F-16A  to the represent the F-16AM versions as used by the Portuguese Air Force Squadrons  No. 201 "Falcons" and  No. 302 "Jaguars". Each squadron has 2 skins; standard full color, and low visibility markings. The SF2 date switch is active, turning on in 2000 (best guess)
      This mod is set up and labeled to cause =NO= conflicts with any of the other TMF F-16As buzzing around, as this carries a unique name (see below). Skins remain in their original bmp format, in their original size and resolution (1024x). All markings are decals. Decal Randomization is TRUE. Each skin is provided with 18 historically correct serial number decals.  The necessary items provided are drop tanks and pilot seat, the TMF F-16 Effects and Sounds. I've not supplied any other weapons; you should have the needed ones from the various Weapons Packs available at CA . If I missed anything, PLEASE let me know and I'll try to get it fixed.

      The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The refueling door opens/closes with the Shift/1 (one) keystroke. 
      When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
      F-16AM FAP (TMF)
      So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. 
      As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. The original readme is included. The 'Change Log' is, of course, in the Notes section below.

    8. SF2 F-86F-40 Sabre, EDA Skin Pack       8/2/2025
      -For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Recommended)
      This is a NEW skin for the F-86F-40 Sabre. This is a something of a "salvage operation", as I found this skin/decal set in my archives. It was originally done in 2012, but for reason unremembered, never released!
      This set represents Spanish Air Force (Ejército del Aire y del Espacio) Sabres of 1 Ala from approx. 1958, when they started receiving the Sabre. You get 18 historically accurate decals; accurate in the fact they served in the EDA, but I was unable to associate them to a specific squadron or wing. So, consider them to be 'generic' in nature. Please note, the fuselage numbers are the early presentation as when first delivered. The skin is in jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. The SF2 date switch is NOT used, however the "startdefaultdate=" is set to 1958. Hopefully it works as advertised. 
      On the skin selection menu, on the Loadout Page, you'll see:
      1 Ala, 12 Esc
      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. As always, give the "Notes" section a quick read for any and all nonsensical ramblings. A small request for information is also down there. :)
      Happy Landings!
