SF2 WW2 SB2C Helldiver, "Blank" Skin Pak 9/12/2013
 
- For SF2 WW2 and Whenever Players -
 
This pak contains a set of 3 "blank" markingless skins for Veltro2K's Helldivers. They are:
 
SB2C-1:
 
Standard 3-tone
(note: the -1 uses a different -s map due to the 3 bladded prop)
 
SB2C3 thru 5:
 
Standard 3-tone
Overall Dark Gloss Navy Blue
 
(The enclosed screenshot is a -5 in 3-tone. All others are identical to those already available, but minus the US Star-bar)
 
As stated, there are NO national or squadron markings (ie: for USN use) of any kind. This will allow skinners (and WhatIfers) to create/recrate the various squadron and national markings via decal placement. With the several skins out already, decal placement locations have pretty much all been pre-plotted. A decent skinner should easily be able to figure out any others.
 
As always, fairly simple install instructions are included. So, please read them.
 
REMINDER: these are skin maps ONLY!!! YOU will have to build the other required inis and decals.
 
Happy Skinning!

USN/USMC low visibility tactical color schemes Paintshop - GB 3-7-2012
 
All USN/USMC low visibility tactical color schemes are now put in a single archive for sharing at combatace.
All due credit to the original model and skin creators:
Third Wire (A-4M,A-7E,F-4J,F-14A_77)
Mirage Factory + BPAo + Flying Toaster (F-14A+B,F-4S,FA-18A)
Mostly I just made masks and converted colors which took enough time as it was already.
 
Work In Progress Release:
Beware that in the past the max resolution I worked with was 512x512 per skin, and lower res decals.
Beware that I was sometimes to lazy to make the correct seperation from light grey to medium grey.
Leaving the seperation where the old Gull grey used to fade to white.
 
Photoshop 60 Conversion.atn contains the following automated actions for color conversion:
-F-14 grey Med (convert to Medium grey, from gull grey as used by third wire)
-F-14 to grey light (convert to Medium grey first)
-F-14 to grey dark (convert to Medium grey first)
 
US Navy/Marine Low visiblity colors:
Dark: FS 35237 used as anti glare, or topside F-4S
Medium: FS 36320 (RGB 157,164,176) top A-4,A-6,A-7,F-14,F/A-18, side F-4S
Light: FS 36375 (RGB 171,176,184) bottom A-4,A-6,A-7,F-14,F/A-18,F-4S
The Medium and Light RGB values were obtained by taking average color values from photographs on the net.

USAF Silver Skin for F-5E Tiger II
 
An update by Gerwin 26-12-2012..20-1-2013 v1.1
 
DESCRIPTION:
I was hoping someone would enhance the panel lines on
the F-5E skin. Fortunately Lanapa released
"F-5E Spanish SkinPack.rar" with the desired detail.
I converted this Skin to the USAF Silver pattern.
Next I adjusted and overpainted the whole thing to give
a more convincing natural metal look, with a little weathering.
 
v1.1: improved details on nose section and hook
 
INSTALLATION:
Copy the included folder with contents to the folder that contains
the F-5E files, for example:
WOE\Objects\Aircraft\F-5E
or:
My Documents\ThirdWire\Strike Fighters 2\Objects\Aircraft\F-5E
When in the game select the skin in the loadout screen.
 
NOTE:
Be sure to download and install my Damage Textures Pack released
on Combatace, which also contains detailed Damage textures for the
F-5E.

Damage overlay textures for WOI/SF2 addon Aircraft
 
version 1.2
 
by Gerwin 4-8-2010
 
DESCRIPTION:
This pack includes damage overlay textures. These textures show
when an aircraft is damaged, showing bullet or shrapnel holes in
the surface of the aircraft. These overlays are specific for every
aircraft model, and are included in the game for all stock aircraft.
But most third party planes come with overlays of inferior quality
or non at all. I tried to remedy this for the following aircraft:
 
-F/A-18A by The Mirage Factory and Flying Toaster
-MiG-29A by The Mirage Factory and Olivier Anguille (BPAo)
-Su-27 by MarcFighter helped by BPAO
-F-86F by David Zurawski
-F-5E by the Mirage Factory (modeler: BPAO)
-C-130A Third Wire Stock SFP1 Aircraft
 
To save time I only made damage overlays for both wings and the
main part of the fuselage.
 
CHANGELOG:
v1.1, 15-12-2012: added C-130A
v1.2, 26-12-2012: improved F-5E
 
INSTALLATION:
copy the .dds files to the matching aircraft folder.
This folder also contains the aircraft ini file, open this ini file
and make sure the following two lines are included:
 
[DamageTexture]
DamagedPostFix=_holes.dds
 
ADDITIONAL INFO:
This mod was tested on WOI+addon with 2010 patch level. It should
work fine in any SF2 game as well.
SFP1,WOV and WOE can not use these textures directly, but only
after you convert .dds back to .tga with photoshop or something.
In that case use:
DamagedPostFix=_holes.tga
 
THANKS TO:
Third Wire for the Strike Fighters Based Games and the included
damage textures that were used as a basis to make the included variants.

SF2 WW2 Curtiss A-25A Shrike Pak
 
-- Something for the WW2 players (and What Ifers, too, maybe?...) --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
US Army Air Force version of the USN's SB2C-1C Helldiver dive bomber.
The aircraft has been 'de-navalized', with the removal of the hook, and has non-folding wings.
Skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. Serial numbers are historically accurate for this aircraft.
All markings on this aircraft are decals. This'll give the "What Ifers" a fairly blank canvas to create other fictional land-based users.
 
It should be noted, this aircraft NEVER served in a combat capacity, and never left the Continental US. They were regulated to training and target-tow duties. Don't know what you're going to do with it, but here it is.
 
This package is complete, with the aircraft, engine sound (AvHistory). Pilot figure and weapons (including guns) are NOT included. These are reused from the various USN SB2C paks.
 
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!
