SF2 Korean War Era USAF ANG F-84E Skin Pak
 
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
The pak contains 2 new skins for the RussoUK's F-84E, and is designed to be used with my Thunderjet pak found at CA at the following URL:
http://combatace.com/files/file/12300-republic-f-84e-thunderjet-by-russouk-for-sf2/
 
Skins/decal sets included are for the:
 
154th FBS, 136th FBW (Arkansas ANG)
159th FBS, 116th FBW (Florida ANG)
 
All new, 100% historically correct serial and BuzzNumber decals have been created for all skins.Those skins have stars (*) in their number lists next to the ID number, denoting those with 100% positive identification. Those without stars (*) served in the KTO, but I was unable to run down exactly which wing/squadron.
There are only 18 serial/buzz numbers for each aircraft. All decals are Randomized.
Also included is a small update for the 7/8/9th FBS skins; the addition of the squadron patch for the 'paint chip' seen on the Loadout Screen.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, fairly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
 
Good Hunting!

F-84G Thunderjet, Imperial Iranian Air Force
=For SF2, Any and All (Full-4 Merged Reccomended/Preferred,etc)=
 
A simple addition for the recently released F-84G Upgrade Pak.
 
This skin represent all aircraft as used by the IIAF during the 1950s and 60s, until they were replaced by F-5As sometime around 1965ish.
 
All new historical serial numbers for the 75 aircraft were created, depicting the 3 squadrons of the Wing that operated them from Mehrabad (like, how hard is it to do 3-01 thru 3-75???).
Decal radomization is set to TRUE, so be at whatever patch level is requried (post May/June/whatever!)
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! The expected "Notes" section as well, for those interested.
 
Happy Landings!

Republic F-84E Thunderjet by RussoUK
=For SF2, Any and All (Full-4 Merged Reccomended/Preferred,etc)=
 
*Expansion Pak 1 may be necessary for WW2 era weapons, if not using the GunnyPak*
 
Some modifications, tweeks, and general fiddlating on Russo's fine F-84E Thunderjet.
 
Skins provided are:
 
36th FBW, USAFE circa 1952 when commanded by Col. Robert L. Scott (yes, that guy!)
49th FBG, FEAF/5th AF, Tageu, Korea circa 1951/53 -yes, the entire group, all 3 squadrons:
7th FBS (Blue/White)
8th FBS (Yellow/Black)
9th FBS (Red/White)
 
All new, 100% historically correct serial and BuzzNumber decals have been created for all skins. It should be noted, that while those for the 36th FBW =ARE= for those aircraft from the 36th, I was unable to pin down exactly which squadron(s) in the Wing.
Some of the 49th FBW skins have stars (*) in their number lists (7th & 8th FBS) next to the ID number, denoting those with 100% positive identification; excepting the 9th FBS, where =ALL= have been 100% positively IDed as serving in that squadron. Those without stars (*) served in the 49th, but not to my full satisfaction as to which squadron. Rest assured, if I say they're correct for The Wing, they are.
 
Like the recently released F-84G, it has a new 'experimental' SF2-level flight model, uses the same Sabre drop tanks, and uses the same manual keyed animation (surprise! Shift/0) to open and close the canopy. It also uses the same sound file, not included. The same 'generic-style' hangar screen from the G is included as well. A userlist is included; it may need some adjustments as to other NATO/MAP users -which are welcomed!
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! As always, the usual "Notes" section for other interestering details and stuff.

Republic F-84C Thunderjet, 59th FIS, 33 FIW (by RussoUK)
=For SF2, Any and All (Full-4 Merged Reccomended/Preferred,etc)
 
*Expansion Pak 1 may be necessary for WW2 era weapons, if not using the GunnyPak*
 
Some modifications, tweeks, and general fiddlating on Russo's early Thunderjet.
AKA: revamping of my very old F-84B/C mod, refocused on just the C model (Bs did a lot of crashing and self-disassembly, and wound up back at the factory, or on 'fire training')
 
Serial/Buzz number are 100% correct for the 33rd FIW; those marked in the Numbers.lst with a star (*) have 100% positively IDed as being from the 59th FIS. All others are, again, from the 33rd, but was unable to 'attach' them to any specific squadron(s) within The Wing. Decal radomazation is set to "TRUE"
 
Like the recently released F-84E & G, it has a new 'experimental' SF2-level flight model, uses the same Sabre drop tanks, and uses the same manual keyed animation (surprise! Shift/0) to open and close the canopy. It also uses the same sound file, not included. The same 'generic-style' hangar screen from the G is included as well. A userlist is included; as these were ONLY used by the USAF, it may be moot!

Republic F-84G Thunderjet by RussoUK
=For SF2, Any and All (Full-4 Merged Reccomended/Preferred,etc)
 
*Expansion Pak 1 may be necessary for WW2 era weapons, if not using the GunnyPak*
 
Some modifications, tweeks, and general fiddling on Russo's fine F-84G Thunderjet.
 
Skins provided are:
 
159th FBS, USAF in Korea
468th SFS, 508th SFW, USAF/SAC, Turner AFB, GA (both by JSF_Aggie)
6th Aerobrigata AMI (originally by Stephan S, with all new decals by me)
Royal Danish Air Force
Portugese Air Force, 20th Squadron
Generic Natural Metal (above 3 by me)
 
All new decals for the RDAF (historicaly correct, but representing no particular squadron) and a 'generic' set of serials and Buzz Numbers for the G-NM are included. As generic in nature, they represent no particular squadron, but these along with the G-NM skin can be used for other NATO operative countries (Greece, Turkey, etc). The 6 ACB skin has several actual, historic serials. These are marked with a star (*) on the number lst. All others ARE those as used by AMI T-Jets, but was unable to lock in a particular unit.
 
Some of the additions/changes are locating the node-name so the nose wheel now piviots for steering, addition of a landing light (nose only), canopy operated via manual animation key (use, as expected, Shift/0). Armor protection has also been upgraded. The avionics have been adjusted to activate the radar-ranging gunsight. A new userlist was also created -it may not be fully accurate, and adjustments are welcomed! Loadouts use WW2 era bombs from the GunnyPak, but is easily readjusted to use those from SF2 expansions 1 & 2. External drop tanks use the everpresent F-86 tanks for those under-fuselage mounts (closest shape and size). A new AN-M81 260 lb fragmentation bomb (from KAW) is included and used for CAS/Armed Recon.
The inner hardpoints have been split into 2 groups, as the G model had a nuclear delivery mode, with a bomb on one inner hardpoint, and a drop tank on the other. These early bombs are available in my 3W F-84F upgrade kit, available here at CA. For mission builders, an "alternative loadout for CAS/Attack/SEAD is included using the Triple rocket racks.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! PLEASE read the extensive "Notes" section ... there's Vital Information ™ on operation uses and glitches that you need to be aware of.
 
Happy Landings!

IIAF F-86F-40 Sabre Aircraft/Skin Pak


 
 

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


 
This package creates a 'nationalized', stand alone aircraft for Zur's F-86F-40, representing Sabres as used by the Imperial Iranian Air Force in the 1960s/70s. aka "Swords of the Shah". Designed to fill in a small gap, between the Imperial Iranian AF prop-jobs (P-47s), and the third sets of jets (F-5A/B/Es and Phantoms; the first set being straight-winged F-84s, and these Sabres that replaced them). This nationalized version was created for specific reasons, outlined in the "Notes" section below.
 
The skin is a basic bare-metal, with serial number decals for 18 aircraft (standard squadron). With information so scarce, some "WAG" had to be used. The number conventions follow those as seen on F-5s and F-4 Phantoms,and a profile I found online, so should be relatively accurate.
 
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.

A-16A 'Attack Falcon'
 
-- For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Prefered) and/or SF2:I ONLY!!! --
 
As stated above, you =MUST= have a Full-4 Merged install, or at the VERY LEAST SF2:I to make use of this mod package, as it references all stock items for the aircraft and cockpit lods that are ONLY found in SF2:I or Full-4 Merged game installs. If you have neither of these, don't download this, as you'll not be able to use it.
 
This is a modification of the F-16 Netz into the proposed A-16A 'Attack Falcon', a specalized ground support aircraft intended to replace the A-10 Thunderbolt II. Those wishing more infromation on it, are encouraged to Google it, and also look at F-16.net.
 
The aircraft has been completely reskinned in 3-tone Euro 1, from a new home-grown template. Markings represent those based a Nellis AFB, Nevada (for weapons testing and integration). All basic inis, skins and decals are included, as is new green painted version of the AIM-9P Sidwinder (just for this mod/skin pak). All markings are decals, with the exception of the Nellis tail stripe. Serial numbers are spurious; taken from another source.
 
In the Loadout ini, several alternate loadouts are listed. These can be accessed from the 3rdWire mission editor screen (for post-Expansion Pak 2 users). With the exception of the green 9P winder, all loadouts use stock items.
 
As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install. Also, as usual, the expected 'Notes and Other Nonesense' comments by me. Any and all inaccuracies are mine, as we only have the Netz to work from

A-12 'Avenger II' by Rhugouvi
=For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred)
 
This is an upgrade package for the Beta A-12 that's been around for several years, with tweeks to bring it more in line with SF2.
 
This package contains 2 skins for the A-12, one each for Atlantic & Pacific Fleets (cause I don't want to show favoritism either way). They are:
 
VFA-105 "Gunslingers"
VFA-192 "Golden Dragons" (The World Famous Golden Dragons)
 
All markings are decals.
 
As this is a Low-Observabale Strike aircraft, with a secondary CAP role, there is no internal gun. However, for those mission profiles that don't require the greatest of stealth (CAS/Armed Recon, Anti-ship & CAP), a 'mission specific' gunpod is included/available with a 30mm GAU-13 cannon, similiar to how it's done for the F-35 JSF. It's suggested you have the GunnyPak installed for the various modern/post-modern prescision strike munitions.
 
All the sounds are also provided, as are new SF2 style hangar and loading screens. The wingfold works (use the Shift/9 key), but the canopy does not. Running light positions have been adjusted, and they follow the wings when folding.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... There are 'Operational Usage Helps' that might be quite usefull in a pinch. Rhugouvi's original readme is also included (in French). With thanks to TMF via Sony Tuckson for use of the F/A-18 Hornet cockpit & avionics.
 
Happy Landings!
