F-100D (68) USAF Air National Guard Skin and Decal Pak
= For SF2 (Full-4 Merged Reccomended)
 
*Note: can be used in any install with access to the F-100D_68*
 
This package contains skins and decals to recreate USAF ANG F-100D squadrons as seen/used in the 1971-79 timeframe. This is the basic reason for choosing the "68" model Hun; even though many of the units used Cs, Ds and Fs all at the same time. I choose the late-model as it's just a tad more sophisticated (RWR). With very slight editing (ie: skin bmp renaming), these should work on all model Huns (including the C -but this has NOT been tested), excepting perhaps the F-100A and it's variant.
 
Some units have tail codes, while other do not. This refelcts Real Life ™. This pak contains 8 skins, with decals for the following units:
 
Arkansas ANG 184th TFS, 188th TFG
Arizona ANG 152nd TFS, 162nd TFG
Connecticut ANG 118th TFS, 104th TFG (CT)
Indiania ANG 163rd TFS, 122 TFG
Louisiana ANG 122th TFS, 159th TFG
Massachusetts ANG 101st TFS, 102 TFG (MA)
Michigan ANG 107th TFS, 127th TFG (MI)
Ohio ANG 112th TFS, 180th TFG (XP)
 
The tail badge decals were originally created by Dave (USAFMTL) for SF/Wo*, and have been slightly modified by me for use here in SF2. When/where necessary, seperate Tail Code lettering was added. Serial numbers & insignia are all stock-ingame items, except as noted. Randomization is set the "TRUE" for the serial numbers.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!!
 
Happy Landings!!

F-4D (78) USAF, North Dakota Air National Guard Skin and Decal Pak
= For SF2 (Full-4 Merged Recommended)
 
*Note: can be used in any install with access to the F-4D_78*
 
Slight modifications to a 1stGen skin pak done by "Chris" in 2005, brings it to SF2.
 
This skin represents the 178th FIS, 119th FIG North Dakota Air National Guard, aks "The Happy Hooligans". All decals used herein are from this original pak. The skins are stock, with a new-made _5.bmp to add the painted on fin stripe
 
Other mods included are the data and userlist inis, with corrected 'end-of-service-dates', as many ANG units seem to have used the D until the early 1990s. Also, the canopy has been activated via the usual manual animation key (shift/0). Couldn't pass that one up!
 
For grins and giggles, jpg copies of the skin maps are included .. in case someone wants to save HD space.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! The original 2005 readme is included. Any mistakes/errors are all mine.
 
Happy Landings!!

ps: having placed their home base on the terrain I working on, couldn't resist having more Hooligans!

VA-83 A-4B Skyhawk Skin/Decal Pak

*Can be used in any install that has access to the A-4B*
 
This skin pack reproduces A-4B Skyhawks of VA-83 "Rampagers" circa 1958, as seen aboard USS Essex (CVA-9) as part of ATG-201, during the Beirut Crisis of that timeframe, supporting the US Marines during the intervention.
 
All new decals, 100% historcally correct for the serial (Bureau) numbers for those -B Scooters used by VA-83 during this time period. I was unable to match Modex to BuNum, but that's a small thing

A-4C Skyhawk VA-76 Sprits Skin Pak
 
-- For SF2, Any and All that have the A-4C Accessable --
 
This skin/decal represents VA-76 Spirits as seen in 1962/63 when based USS ENTERPRISE (CVAN-65) during her Med Cruise and during the Cuban Missile Crisis quarantine as part of CVG-6. All new decals (plus one "borrowed" stock one and editated to suit) have been created for the various markings and such.
 
Other mods include tweeked data and loadout inis. The loadout ini changes the STRIKE loadout to use a TER with 2 Mk82s each (I Like a little more striking power); if you don't want to carry 4 Mk 82 bombs, just delete the loadout ini, and it'll revert back to stock. Or, you can re-edit, remove the RackType reference, and replace with 2 1000 pound Mk.83s. Your choice!. Data ini changes include activating the canopy via a manual animation key (use Shift/0 to open and close), and the addition of the landing light.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop).

EF-4C 'Phantom' WW IV 81st TFS Skin Pak


 
 

-- For FULL-4 Merged SF2 (Prefered) and/or SF2:V/SF2:E =ONLY!!!=


 
(it can acutally be used in any SF2 install that has the access to the F-4C_67)
 
This is to fill a request presented to me by daddyairplanes, to add a new skin for the 81st TFS, 52nd TFW, USAFE, based at Spangdahlem AFB from 1973-79ish, where they were the only SEAD-dedicated squadron in theatre. The EF-4Cs were replaced by F-4G WW Vs, which were in turn replaced by F-16CJs. Even though the 81st now flys Hogs, but, ya get the picture! <grin>
 
It is designed to add to the "sf2 EF-4C Update Pak" released recently. You can find the update pak at CombatAce, at the following URL:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/11630-ef-4c-phantom-wild-weasel-iv-for-sf2/
 
It should be noted, that =THIS= skin is for a European based squadron, so if installilng into a stand-alone SF2:E -make double damn sure you have the F-4C_67 avialabile on you planes list!!!!! (Merged installs, and those users that have run the SF2E.exe to create a SF2E mods folder should have the aircraft already) When in doubt about mods folders, consult the CA Knowledge Base.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop).

F-4E (86) Phantom II Skin Set - 45th TFW "The Warbirds"


 

-- For SF2 (any/all) --


 
This skin/decal set is designed for use =ONLY= on the TMF F-4E ARN-101, as this
is the proper airframe for the time period depicted. You can find/download the
aircraft at the following URL:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/9268-mirage-factory-f-4e-phantom-arn-101-for-sf2
 
-series/
 
You MUST install this aircraft first, before applying this skinpak.
 
This is a fictional skin, representing the 45th TFW's 3 squadrons, as seen in the
Richard Herman novel "The Warbirds". The novel tells the story of a fictional
Persian Gulf war, wherein the 45th are (basically) the only US Air Power ™ in
the region. I won't go into the storyline, but since it all revolves around a
Phantom unit (the book says it's the last USAF Phantom unit, btw), and EVERYONE
love Phantoms ... it's a no brainer, eh?
 
The 3 Squadrons of the Wing are represented. They are:
 
377th TFS
378th TFS
379th TFS
 
They carry the tail badges as when assigned to RAF Stonewood. After much
discussion with the Resident Experts ™, it was decieded that the 45th's
deployment to Ras Assanya was just that -a deployment-, and they would still
carry the codes from their parent unit or base. Each squdron also has it's own
tailfin color flash.
 
A slightly modified Loadout ini is included, with some weapons changes (back to
Iron Bombs ™ ). In reality, these late-model aircraft were used more on PGM
delivery (ie: laser guided bombs) than 'dumb-bombs'. The Dumb Bombs fit more with
the descriptions in the book.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package
has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT
easier to install (read: drag and drop).
Don't forget to read the "Notes & Other Nonsense" for various and sundry
ramblings of a madman, and Full Credits.

F-15E Strike Eagle, 492nd TFS 48th FW, Lakenheath
=For SF2, Any and All (may even work in 1stGens)
 
A simple repaint of the original decals create the 'blue' stipe tail markings for the 492nd of the 48th FW.
 
This'll add another squadron for use however you see fit.
 
While designed with the plane-jane Mud Hun in mind, these can also be used on the F-15E_04 with little or no editing (just let the decals ini work as it's designed)
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!!

AT-6B Texan COIN, Iraqi AF
=For SF2, Any and All (but Full-4 Merged Prefered/Reccomended)
 
A new skin and decals, some data, loadout and weapons mods for Dels and FastCargo's AT-6B Texan COIN version. The aircraft is available here:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/9849-at-6b-for-sf2-version-15/
 
This mod is designed to be applied =OVER= the existing AT-6B in your game(s) install.
This is NOT the full aircraft; just a package of inis, the new skin and decals.
 
The new skin is for the reformed Iraqi Air Force, circa 2010 and later, with some Real Life ™ and extrapolated serial numbers in the new style, along with the new fin flash/national insignia (locations are educated guesswork based upon other aircraft's placement). Data ini edits are very small; mostly to reset the cockpit position to remove the 'double cockpit'. Everything else is pretty much the same.
 
A new weapon, the FIM-92 Stinger for self-defense has been created, so as not to conflict with those used on the MANPADS versions (this had been an issue). The avionics ini has been updated to use the generic "RWR.lst" by dtmdragon.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!!
 
Important: it should be noted here, that the userlist supplied covers operators of =BOTH= the T-6 trainer and AT-6 COIN. It should also be noted, that I've made the assumption (oh! that word!!) of the T-6 and the AT-6 being interchangable for Iraqi use for training and 'internal security'.
 
Happy Landings!
