Semi Historical Hill AFB F-105D Skins
 
The 466th TFS, USAF Reserve, was lhe last operator of the F-105 Thunderchief. They flew their last mission before converting to the F-16A in 1984. Due to how
long they flew the 'Thud' and their proximity to Ogden Air Logistics Center, where many aircraft go to be repainted, they flew 3 Thuds in colors other than the traditional SEA camo. Those schemes (SEA Wraparound, European 1, and a one off Desert scheme based on the pattern of the first two) are represented here.
Also provided are black tailcode for the 466th ('HI') and 50 black serial numbers. Sorry only 50 as the Thud was getting rarer by that time. The first 10 serials are
historical with the first 3 being the ones used by the aircraft so painted. the other
40 numbers are redone TW serials spanning FY59-62.
This is not a completely accurate rendition, the pattern is different than T.O. 1-1-4
states for SEA Wraparound and Euro 1. What I did was to wraparound the stock skin, then
swap the colors (as was done IRL). I also did not do the nose art's for the aircraft
due to other commmitments, and lack of time.
Much credit goes to :
ludo.54m for his templates, which allowed me more freedom to color while keeping the
panel lines and rivets
Soulfreak, both for the idea and material support with references
TK for the stock bird and decals
the greater CA community for support and education over the years
Included in the mod are
Desert, Euro 1 and SEA Wraparound skins
my Expanded Squadronlist.ini, which puts 466th TFS as selectable in menu
the Photoshop templates I used to create this mod.
Installation
unzip the files, copy and paste to the appropriate folders. Allow merging of
Aircraft and Decal folders. Enjoy

This is the NATO E-3 Components TCA,(USAF designated CT-49A) based on the 707-320. These aircraft are use for pilot training of the E-3 Component and for cargo and troop transport as needed. Three are operated by NATO and a total of 5 have ever flown under NATO colors. This mod includes a touch up of the OTAN skin found in the TMF E-3A release and decals for all 5 TCA's ever registered in Luxemborg. It also includes the Sentry cockpit to make it flyable, or if you have the 707-300 already you can drop the CT-49 skin in and it will work as well. I hope you enjoy!

This is The Mirage Factory's E-3A Sentry packaged as an individual aircraft for SF2 series. Included is a NATO skin by AmokFloo, the original 552d Flagship skin, and skins representing each squadron that flies the Sentry. Also included are decals for all NATO assigned aircraft and the Core 23 aircraft purchased by the USAF in the 70's. This should add some airborne eye candy to your installs, particularly Europe and the Middle East.
 
To install simply drop the folders into the correct areas of your mods folder.
 
Thank you to The Mirage Factory, AmokFloo, Dave and several others for their work on this project. i hope you enjoy this mod, and lets see how can form their favorite fighter on the wing long enough for a screenie!

This corrects one of the main faults of the USAF Skinpack in the DLC store, white tailcodes! I also have included many additional units as well as a Word document detailing which tactical units flew the Phantom in its later service with the USAF. I also have included many of the improvements from my previous post Vietnam pack, as well as my mostly finished squadronlist.ini. That ini is set up so that there will be minimal interuption from future patches, and DOES include all tactical Phantom phlyers, at least in US service.
 
NOTE: all paint schemes came about in 1978 or later. as such i have not included any units that did not fly the Phantom in that timeframe. If you pick a Phantom unit that changed over after 1974, it will have a blank tail!!!
ALSO NOTE: a few of the ADC units (like the 111th FIS of the Texas ANG) used a different system for serial numbers than the skins in here. Please read the document on Phantom units before griping that i missed someone!!!
 
Installation is same as usual, unzip, copy to mod folders and allow overwrite.
 
Finally, with one exception I have not included the skins themselves. To all the oldtimers here, i know that skins are usually fairgame. However, given that is the point of this DLC, i opted not to include the whole skin to avoid pissing off TK and getting skins locked.The exception is the F-4C_67, as he did not include that in the DLC.
 
I hope that you all enjoy this mod.

This is a modification of the original F-4D LORAN by mppd and brought to Gen2 standard by Wrench. I merely added the parts that made it a LORAN bird to the stock F-4D_78 and added four skins and three units from my skin/decal pack. As with most of my main install this mod deals with the post Vietnam era to the end of the Cold War.
 
After involvement in Southeast Asia wound down in 1973 the ARN-92 LORAN Phantoms were sent to 3 units for the precision strike role. These were:
23d TFS 52d TFW Spangdahlem AB West Germany
457th TFS AFRES Carswell AFB TX
704th TFS AFRES Bergstrom AFB TX
 
This mod highlights these units in all tactical paint schemes used by the F-4.
Thank you for downloading this mod, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

This is a mod/repaint of Hinchinbrooke's excellent HMS Vindictive, representing the Russian Navy's Admiral Kuznetzov.
 
 
This mod is compatible with any and all versions of SF2, merged or otherwise. It should also work in any Series 1 title, but please note this has NOT been tested.
 
 
Thanks to Hinchinbrooke, without who's mod this would not have been possible.

A-7E Corsair II (74) VA-72 "Bluehawks" Skin Pak
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged Required; and/or SF2:NA -ONLY!!- =
 
Again, as stated above this is for the stock 3rdWire A-7E_74 ONLY!! If you do not possess SF2NA (or other games that may have this aircraft accessable -cause I don't remember if it was or wasn't before!!!), DO NOT download this mod, as you will =NOT= be able to use it.
 
This is the companion skin for the recently released A-7E_74 VA-46 "Clansmen" skin. It represents the sister squadron, VA-72 "Bluehawks" both of whom were based aboard USS John F. Kennedy during Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm.
These were to last 2 operational Corsair II squadrons in USN service, as the type was retired upon the JFK returning to port.
 
It is HIGHTY suggested you have the SF2/SF2NA Skin pak available at:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/12822-a-7e74-lo-viz-skinini-pak-for-sf2sf2na/
 
as there are some decals called that reference some in that pack. Several decals have been repurposed and repainted from an original FOTF skin mod for many year ago. Many new decals have also been created (note: the first 12 BuNums have been remade from the originals, and may actually represent aircraft that served with this squadron.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them before installing!
 
Happy Landings!

A-7E Corsair II (74) Skin Pak
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged Required; and/or SF2:NA -ONLY!!- =
 
Again, as stated above this is for the stock 3rdWire A-7E_74 ONLY!! If you do not possess SF2NA (or other games that may have this aircraft accessable), DO NOT download this mod, as you will =NOT= be able to use it.
 
However, as the standard or garden variety A-7E shares the same mapping (as do all the 3W Corsairs), it is VERY possible that these skins would be usable on them, with a simple rename to fit. BUT...as the stock A-7E has an end-of-service-date of 1976, that may be a moot point.
 
Read on...
 
This pack contains 2 new "TPS" lo-viz skin and decals sets. These skins were created from a new Home Grown Template ™ and are in JPG format. The templates will also be available for use, once I upload them.
 
Also included are slightly modified Data and Loadout inis. The wingfold (which was NOT active at ALL before) and canopy are operated via manual animation keys; the Usual Suspects - Shift/0 for canopy and Shift/9 for wingfold.
The loadout ini includes some changes to standard dumb-bomb loads, giving you a bit more striking power.
 
As I like to have Altantic & Pacific Fleet squadrons represented by at least one skin each, the skins in this pak are:
 
VA-25 "Fist of the Fleet" (circa late 80s/early 90s)
VA-46 "Clansmen" (in the Corsair's final deployment during Desert Shield/Desert Storm)
 
These skins BOTH have the "StartDefaultDate=" set for 1982, an approximate date based on my research. This will OVERRIDE any other stock skins, so be aware of this fact. This was done for historicality, and to encourage other skinner/decalers to step up and fill in some of the gaps. Get to it people!
 
All markings on both are decals, making it MUCH easier for other squadron to be created in the Lo-Viz scheme. Almost all decals are new; some are repurposed from other mods. The 1st 10 Bunms for the Clansmen are newbuilds, based upon BuNums from a FOTF original skin.
 
I think the Corsair II is a very overlooked aircraft, and it's time to give it a little love.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them before installing! Please browse the Notes section for other illuminations.
 
Good Hunting!
