IL-28 Beagle, Fuerza Aérea Revolucionara (Cuba) (semi-fictional)
 
= For SF2, Any and All, Merged or Not, With Access to the IL-28 =
 
This skin pak creates Cuban Air Force (FAR) IL-28s, had they been assembled and put into service during The Crisis of Oct/Nov 1962. (as everyone knows, of course, they weren't)
 
A new, edited Userlist.ini is included adding Cuba, with a VERY short operational life span (2 years). No other changes have been effected. All markings, etc, are stock; with the exception of the tail's skin bmp -it was partly retemplated to redraw panel and rivet lines to add the FAR flash.
 
An 'optional' folder includes a set of inis and will make the IL-28 player-flyable (if you've not done so already), using all stock in-game items (ie: F-4B pit, due to it's twin-engine annunciators, and GM radar. Probably not perfect, but it works! <grin>). The cockpit ini has had all the readings/measurments converted to metric standard (Kilometers per hour, Meters-per-second, etc). An audio-only RWR is included (don't know IF they actualy had one...but it'll help out somewhat). Small data ini tweeks add landing lights and some AI data. A new Hangar screen is included for those so inclined to use it.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, somewhat detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....

F-104G Starfighter, ROCAF Skin & Decal Pak


 
 
A rebadging of the stock F-104G Starfighter to those as used by the Republic of China (aka: Taiwan) from the mid-1960s until their retirment in the late 1990s.
 
As such, it should be considered as a 'generic' skin; although the serials and ID numbers are accurate, it represents no particular unit. The serials and ID numbers represent the first 40ish 104Gs the ROCAF acquired.
 
Although built and designed for use in SF2 series sims, it's easily backdated for use on SF/Wo* 1st Gens as well. I've even included a SF/Wo* series type Decals ini, ready for use.
For SF2 users, a modified F-104G_UserList.ini is included, with corrected service dates for Taiwan.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions. I've tried to make it as simple and easy as possible.
 
A perfect addition to Gepards' Formosa Terrain!
 
Good Hunting!

P-2H "Neptune" RNNAS (MLD) Skin/Decals Pak


 

-- For SF2, Any & All --


 
This skin and decal pak is for the P-2H Neptune, and recreates aircraft from 320 Squadron, Royal Netherlands Naval Air Service (aka Marine-Luchtvaartdienst or MLD), in the 1970s.
 
Designed for the recently released SF2 upgrade, which can be found here:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/11914-p-2h-neptune-skinsdecals-and-ini-update-pak/
 
(yes, shameless self-promotion!)
 
This adds another user's skin, with (hopefully!) historically accurate markings and serials.
Another minor tweek, is the canopy glass tga has now been made fully transparant.
 
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. A note about the canopy glass tga is in here too!
 
Happy Hunting!

JSADF F-86F-40 Sabre Skin Pak


 
 

=For SF2 & SF/SFG/WoV/WoE and maybe WoI @ 08 Levels and above=


 
Something to fill the gap for early usage by the JASDF, from it's formation in 1954, until the mid/late 1960s when the F-104s began replacing them.
 
You MUST have the F-86F-40 installed first, before installing these skins (duh!). Although all Zur's Sabres are mapped identically, these are for the F-40 variant, and NOT the standard or garden variety F-86F (although the JASDF DID use/build a lot of F variants)
 
The 4 JASDF Squadron represented here are:
 
1 Hikotai
3 Hikotai
6 Hikotai
8 Hikotai
 
While designed with SF2 installs in mind (this was tested in my full-4 merged), it can also be used in 1st Gens, with some minor editing. I've suppled a 'blank' SF/Wo* F-86-40.ini (blank meaning it has no textureset listings), and full instructions for use in 1st Gens, found down below in the "To Insall" section. Be advised, I no longer mod for 1st Gen Series, excepet for WW2 (and I'm trying like crazy to get THEM updated...), so if you can't figure it out...
 
All have accurate serial numbers assigned, as per squadron (rated at 90%, as I couldn't find each and every one of the 18 A/C per squadron, so 1-3 are 'fill-ins'. Rest assured, however, they ARE correct either for NAA or Mistubishi/Fuji built versions). While the number.lst in included, it's been deactivated as for to keep you from running out of numbers while playing; what with only 18 aircraft per squadron, this is a VERY real possibility. It's easily reactivated by a simple rename. A 'generic' patch is included, also renamed to remove it. SF2 seems to have some kind of 'issue' with the paintchip/patch, in that it shfits the squadron selextions in the dropdown to the left a bit, making it hard to read.
 
For SF2 only, there are a new SF2 style plane-jane Hangar Screen, a new avionics ini that activtes the gun ranging-only radar (puts the yellow diamnomd on the target when within range),a =very= incomplete UserList.ini, and an extra main ini for SF/Wo* 1st Gen usage. The avioinics.ini =NOT= usable in SF/Wo* 1st Gens, except with the possiblity of WoI with the new Suez Expansion Pak. This has =NOT= been tested, as I don't have the WoI Expansion.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, highly detailed, step-by-step install instructions. For those wishing to install to 1st Gen games, =PLEASE= make double damn sure you read the special section for you. I've tried to keep it as simple a possible, while covering all bases.
 
It is HIGHLY suggested you read this document through before installing the mod, to make sure you understand what's to be accomplished.
 
Good Hunting!!

Ethiopian AF F-86F-40 Sabre Skin Pak
= For SF2, Any and All =
 
A new skin/decal pak for the Sabre, representing those as flown by the Ethiopian Air Force in the 1960s through the mid-1970s. Designed specifically for the F-40 (as this model/lod has the least in-game problems -ie shadow probs), it can be used on any version as they're all mapped the same. However, what little data is availalbe seems to suggest the later 'hard winged' versions. So, stick to that one
 
A modifed Loadout ini, with Ethiopian nation-specific loads, is included, as they never seemed to have been fitted with Sidewinders. This A-A load has been eliminated via the magic of that recently (as of Sept/Oct 2011 patch) implemented trick. Ground attack loadouts using rockets keep the 8 HVAR loads. All others are the same as before.
A new "Userlist.ini" is also included, that replaces the one from my JASDF Sabre Pak. It would be advisable to add THIS package over that one, or you'll be editing the main ini to add the Userlist line.
 
Serial numbers are/have been extrapolated from the 3 known photos - one of which was a derlict camo aircraft, and are not 100% historically accurate (excepting 251 and 258). The aircraft is in Natural Metal, as delivered from the USA. Sometime in the 1970s, the EtAF recieved several dozen from Iranian stocks, which were painted in the same camo colors as the IIAF F-5s. That skin may be forthcoming...who knows!

MiG-21Um "Mongol" by AmokFloo
 
= For SF2, Any and All* =
 
*Reccomended for Full-4 merged, as it references some decals from SF2:E and SF2:I*
 
Fairly Complete SF2 package of the MiG-21UM "Mongol", with a collection of skins (well, those that I had ... feel free to add others!). 10 skins/decal sets are included in this package. Looking through the 1stGen downloads shows several more skins that can be easily added.
 
You have these skins in this package:
 
4 Indian AF (24 Sq, 101 Sq, HAL, IAF Gray)
2 Czech
1 East German
2 Soviet (NM & Camo)
1 "Generic" overall Desert (tagged for EAF)
 
A new "Userlist.ini" is included (may not be fully accurate, and changes/updates are welcomed!). Minor tweeks to data, loadout and avionics inis. The avionics ini now as a gun-rangine radar and an audio-only RWR. A new Hangar screen is also included. All lighting has been adjusted to fit the aircraft, however, a landing light was NOT added. It also references the 'MiGEngine.wav' from TMFs MiGs (not included)
Decal randomization is set to true, for the most part. With a little luck, I got them all dialed in correctly!!! Feel free to make any/all adjustments and correction.
Weapons, with the exception of the MG pod are NOT included, as they use all stock in-game items.
The KV-1 seat is also included in the /Pilots folder.

Q-5 Fantan Series Pak
 
= For SF2, Any and All* =
 
*Note: Full-4 Merged reccomended, but can be used in any game with access to the F-4F Phantom from SF2:E*
 
A new skin/decal pak for the Q/A-5 Fantan series, upgraded for SF2. This package is based off lindr2's work for 1stGen, which in turn is/was based off the Insky release, with some modifications/tweeks/fiddling around and general 'messing with'
to bring it more in line with SF2
 
This is a complete package, of 3 aircraft containing various and sundry cockpits -
Remember!!! you must have a Full-4 Merged, or at least acess to SF2:Es BLW F-4F Phantom, as the Q-5II references that cockpit. All other pits are included. Rebuilt data inis use the latest (Nov 2011) MiG-19 FM; while not perfect, work much better than before. A new userlist ini is included, for all models, regardless of A or Q
naming. They're still Fantans, no matter what.
 
Some name changes have been implemented by me; what was called the D is more closer to the A, so you have the following aircraft, keeping their PLAAF designation, regardles of export status
 
Q-5A
Q-5E (called Q-5D/E/F in the displayed name -they're nearly identical)
Q-5II
 
The original skins, of course, are included, as is a NEW Sudan AF for the Q-5E. New serial numbers for the SuAf are 'best guess' based upon the 2 photos I could find (SuAF shown in the screenie above)
of them.
New DDS damage textures are included, but they don't work as advertised. It's your choice to use them or not (turns the aircraft black for some reason -probably a mapping issue)
 
A 'home grown' template for A/D/E/F series is included for skinner.
 
PLAFF weapons, for the most part, are included, as are the pilots & ejection seats.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them! As well as the "Notes" section
Any/All faults, mistakes, etc are mine & mine alone.
 
Happy Landings!

P-51D Mustang, Fuerza Aérea Guatemalteca (Guatemalan Air Force)
 
-For SF2, Full-4 Merged w/Exp1 & Exp2 (reccomended)
 
It =REQUIRES= a Full-4 Merged install, or at the very least, SF2:I AND Expansion Pak 1 for the various and sundry bits used herein (to, wit, the P-51D from Expansion Pak 1. If you do NOT have the minimum required game installs, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS MOD, as you won't be able to use it. It may also require Expansion Pak 2, as that added a new userlist and boatloads of decals for many aircraft
 
This pak contains a skin a decal set replicating F-51D Mustangs as used by the Guatemalan AF, with 100% historicaly accurate serial numbers. Number randomization has been activated, so make sure you're at LEAST at the June,2011 patch level. It's also reccomened that you have some of my other Mustang mods, to get some of the little tweeks (canopy, corrected/accurate lights, etc). Just for fun and all that!
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
