'Spad' Skins
By Guest
****457th TFS/301st TFW 'Spads' Skin Pack****
You have downloaded a little repainting job for two aircraft, including the first skin I ever did. These are meant and intended for the stock ThirdWire models of the F-105D_66 and F-4D_78.
These are skins for the 457th TFS/301st TFW, based out of Carswell AFB, right across the lake from my childhood home. I saw both of these aircraft fly over my home more often than I care to count. They are an Air Force Reserve unit. From Vietnam to 1981, they used the F-105D and then made the transition to the F-4, using the D-model first. Later, they would use the E-model Phantom, but only for a few years before finally converting over to the F-16C. Today, they operate the F-16C Block 30 and have seen service in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Read the README for installation instructions.

333rd TFS F100A/C/D Skin
By xboxman523
This is a skin for the 333rd TFS, which flew F100s from 1957 to 1960. Drop the the files into your objects folder and enjoy.
This is my first skin. The tail decals are stock while the nose decals were created by me. Feel free to leave a review. I am interested in making more skins for the F-100 so I am curious what everyone thinks of this skin.
Thanks to Thirdwire for creating the stock tail decals.
Enjoy,

3rd Wire VA-176 A-1H Template
By 1977Frenchie
A long time project of mine...
This is my template for the STOCK 3rd Wire A-1H Skyraider. It depict the VA-176 A-1H with the "BEE" scheme. As this is my first skin and did not want to be too complicated, this is a single layer one. With time, i will surely evolve :)
Just unzip the folder in your object/aircraft/a-1h directory.
Add the following in the A-1H.ini :
[TextureSetXXX]
Directory=VA176BEE
Name=VA176BEE
Nation=USN
Squadron=VA-176 "Thunderbolts"
Specular=0.000000
Glossiness=0.000000
Reflection=0.000000
XXX stands for the number in sequence.
I added another squadron patch then the VA-176 one used in the A-1 skin pack made by Wrench. So if you have then (hope you have) you will be able to find mine in the drop down list.
This skin is for an A-1 right out of the paint shop, so don't expect a dirty one here!
the template is jpeg format 2048 x 2048.
Work done on the skin : wings, body, tail, weapons pylons, tail wheel, main wheels, tail hook, engine, propeller and interior of the speed brakes.
Now it's yours to enjoy!

3rdW A-1H Skin and Ini Update Pak
By Wrench
A-1H "Skyraider" Skin and Ini Update Pak
-- For FULL-4 Merged SF2 (Prefered) and/or SF2:V =ONLY!!! --
This package contains inis, full skin and decals sets, a few weapons and a complete cockpit, to make the stock AI-only A-1H "Skyraider" flyable. While the cockpit is not 100% correct (or, more truthfully, close), it does have all the gauges working as they would be in a propeller aircraft. Until such time a a proper AD-6/7 (or A-1H/A-1J) pit arrives, this WILL have to suffice.
Ini edits include some enhanced AI statements, corrected ammo counts, fuel quantity, on-board countermeasures (chaff and flares for Vietnam era usage) the addition of the running/formation lights on the tail, a landing light, and a working canopy (use Shift/0 to open and close). Wingfold is NOT activated, due to odd movement and placement issues with the outer wing stores locations. At some point in the future, I'll try and get them dailed in properlly, so the wingfold will work and the weapons follow the wing. A new 300 gallon drop tank has also been included, as the LOD lacks the nodes for built-in drop tanks as seen on other SF2 aircraft (even though called out in the data ini, it just ain't there!). A new SF2-style hangar screen, and an new loading screen are also included. Almost all decals are new, with correct Modex, squadron codes and BuNums. It should be noted, that in Vietnam era squadrons (and possibly before) most Skyraider units used a mix of AD-6/7 (or A-1H/J after 1961), so these may not be fully historical, as the BuNums reflect only the one type (AD-6 or A-1H) per squadron. But the BuNums ARE 100% accurate for the models they indicate; and in the cases where photos or profile were available, the actual aircraft represented.
Skins included in this set are:
VA-35 "Black Panthers",USS Saratoga, Med Cruise, 7/1958 (possibly during the Beirut Crisis)
VA-85 "Black Falcons", USS Forrestal, 1962 (also possibly on a Med Cruise)
VA-176 "Thunderbolts", USS Intrepid, Vietnam War (1st SEA cruise, before the famous "bee and lightning bolt" added)
VMA-331 "Killer Bees", circa 1956-59, before transfering to Skyhawks. This one's for Gunny!
The new "A-1H.ini" has been edited to move these new skins to the top, and the original 3W "USNGray1" and "USAFCAmo1" to the bottom, making it easier to select these USN/USMC marked skins.
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/uses, to make it a LOT easier to install.
Good Hunting!

3rdW A-1J Skyraider, Skins and Ini Update Pak

A new 300 gallon drop tank has also been included, as the LOD lacks the nodes for built-in drop tanks as seen on other SF2 aircraft (even though called out in the data ini, it just ain't there!). And just for extra added enjoyment, the "Special Weapon", as used by VA-25 is also included. Yup, the world (in)famous Toilet Bomb.
A new SF2-style hangar screen, and a new loading screen are also included. All decals are new, with correct Modex, squadron codes and BuNums. It should be noted, that in Vietnam era squadrons (and possibly before) most Skyraider units used a mix of AD-6/7 (or A-1H/J after 1961), so these may not be fully historical, as the BuNums reflect only the one type (AD-6 or A-1H) per squadron.

VA-25 "Fist of the Fleet", USS Coral Sea, 11/1966
VA-115 "Arabs", USS Kitty Hawk, 3/1966
VA-145 "Swordsmen",USS Intrepid 9/1967
VA-152 "Wild Aces", USS Oriskany, 8/1965
The new "A-1J.INI" has been edited to move these new skins to the top, and the original 3W "USNGray1" and "USAFCAmo1" to the bottom, making it easier to select the USN/USMC marked skins.
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires, to make it a LOT easier to install.

3W A-6E TRAM Upgrade Kit
By Wrench
A-6E TRAM (aka "A-6E_79) Skin/Ini UPgrade Pak
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged Required; and/or SF2:NA -ONLY!!- =
Again, as stated above this is for the stock 3rdWire A-6E_79 ONLY!! If you do not possess SF2NA, DO NOT download this mod, as you will NOT be able to use it.
Some adjustments, tweeks and General Fiddling With for the new SF2NA A-6E TRAM. The package includes a new skin, in Lo-Viz Gray for VA-75 "Sunday Punchers", circa 1990s
Several inis are included (data, loadout, avionics, main ini*), but NO COCKPT or cockpit ini is included -- you must locate and install these yourselves! The data and loadout inis have been adjusted to include LGB capabilities, a built in laser designator. Wingfold and canopy operation are controled via manual animation keys. Wingfold uses the Shift/9 and the canopy the Shift/0 keystrokes.
I've included a main ini, with the cockpit line left blank, so you can insert whichever cockpit ini name you're using. Weapons (in particular the Navy GBU-10D_N is NOT supplied. It comes from the GunnyPak, so having that would be good idea....)
New Hangar & Loading screen are included, as is a new loadout.tga for use on the Loadout Screen. The Loading Screen is actually a jpg conversion of the original 1stGEn bmp for the old TRAM.
The new skin was created from a "Home Grown Templates" , with many new decals. Others are stock items. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. The skin is "clean", as all markings are decals, making it a simple matter to create other squadron users. (the mid-fueslage slimer is part of the skin map)
A "StartDefaultDate=" line was NOT added, as doing so would limit you to ONLY this one skin (locking out the Gull Gray/White skins). As more Lo-Viz skins are created, it's reccomended that the actual transistion to Lo-Viz year be discovered, and added to this and any subsuquent new skins. A simple text edit of the textureset ini and adding said line to this skin's listing the A-6E_79.ini.
On the Numbers.lst, those Modex marked with a star (*) have their actual BuNums when assigned to this squadron. The others, rest assured, ARE real A-6E BuNums.
The templates will be uploaded seperately to the SF2/Tools & Utililties section in the Combat Ace Downloads.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them! In fact, it's reccomened (read: REQUIRED!!, you read this document through before installing to you Mods Folder)
The Notes section contains further details, descriptions, elightenments, illuminations, and so forth. Be good to read them, too.
Happy Landings!

(*=my PatenPending "One Click Restoration Main Ini" is NOT included, due to cockpit use choices. I'd suggest you make one,after installation, as per the tutorial at
http://combatace.com/topic/55746-patching-made-easy-part-deux/
That should get you started...)

3W B-52D NM/White Skin Decal Update
By Wrench
3W B-52D NM/White Skin Decal Update 8/16/2015
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) and/or SF2:V =
*Note: must have SF2:V as part of your base install, as that has the B-52D*
Some small modifications to Pete Fredrico's (pappychksix) original 1stGen Silver/White anti-flash B-52D skin. This mod repositions the original decals to match the SF2 positions, and adds 26 historical serials number decals. It should be noted that the serials, while correct for the model variant, are not representative of specific aircraft in a particular squadron or wing. They should be considered 'generic' in this respect. Decal randomization is TRUE. The original bmp format skins have been changed to jpg; other than that, they remain as originally posted.
Also included is a modifided texture set ini for the stock SEA camo skin, that uses the SF2 "date switch" to turn it on in 1965. This NM/White skin is default for all year previous to 1965.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
Happy Landings!
