Cold War Aircraft Skins

Español:
Esta es una skin para el A4-AR Fightinghawk inspirado en el Super Étendard de la Segunda Escuadrilla Aeronaval de Caza y Ataque, famosa por dirigir los ataques con los misiles AM-39 Exocet logrando hundir con los mismos a dos buques britanicos.
Esta skin solamente está inspirada en la pintura del Super Étendard, pero al tratarse de un avión totalmente distinto la skin busca parecerse a la pintura del Super Étendard  pero tratando de mantener la esencia del A-4AR.
Créditos para Nyghtfall por las plantillas que utilicé a la hora de crear la skin, y para The Banidos Team por la aeronave (mod necesario para el funcionamiento de la skin).
Siéntanse libres de modificar la skin con la única condición de que me den el crédito necesario, ya que este trabajo me costo horas de trabajo.
Sin nada mas que agregar, suerte y éxitos.
 
English:
This is a skin for the A4-AR Fightinghawk inspired by the Super Étendard of the Second Fighter and Attack Naval Air Squadron, famous for directing attacks with AM-39 Exocet missiles, sinking two British ships with them.
This skin is only inspired by the painting of the Super Étendard, but since it is a totally different plane, the skin seeks to resemble the painting of the Super Étendard but trying to maintain the essence of the A-4AR.
Credits to Nyghtfall for the templates I used to create the skin, and to The Banidos Team for the aircraft (mod needed for the skin to work).
Feel free to modify the skin with the only condition that you give me the necessary credit, since this work cost me hours of work.
With nothing more to add, good luck and success.

This are 2 replacxement highrez (8K) skins for the G.91Y
those will only work, when my reworked G.91Y mod is installed.
Install:
just extract the 7z file to your D:\Users\***\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic\Objects\Aircraft\G91Y folder.
Let overwrite existing files. That´s it. ;-)

SF Vietnam Scooters - v0.95
===========================
*** SF2, SF2V required. Tested in full 5-merged installation ***
This pack includes 111 Skins for Thirdwires A-4 Skyhawk-models during Vietnam war from 1964 to 1972. It combines the former v0.01 and v0.02 releases into 1 pack.
The data.inis for the planes itself are changed from the stockfiles (rearranged weaponsstations, added invisible skids for belly-landings, added new droptanks and missilerails, etc.).
Sometimes a skin is provided for 2 different Skyhawk-models. This is done to represent different changes througout an ongoing deployment:
- transition from one Skyhawk-variant to another (for example A-4E to A-4F)
- retrofit of ECM-equipment (Project Shoehorn) (A-4C to A-4C_65, A-4E to A-4E_65, A-4E_65 to A-4E_67)
- change in Camouflage (VA-155)
Skins included (Timeframe 1964 to 1972):
(compl.) means, that skins, for all deployments to Vietnam are finished for a squadron.
Navy Squadrons:
VA-12 Flying Ubangis (compl.)

Unfortunately I failed at finishing this MOD! For different reasons, I decided to not invest any more time into this.
I hope you can still enjoy this pack. Have fun!
 
Unpacking and installation:
===========================
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
!!! I recommend using this pack for a standalone-Vietnam-War MOD-folder, as planes.inis are changed accordingly
!!! That means, that no exportusers are in userlist.ini
Backup your A-4B. A-4B_65, A-4C, A-4C_65, A-4E, A-4E_65, A-4E_67 and A-4F planefolders, as .inis will be overwritten
1. Create a temporary folder, copy all 3 zip-files into that folder and unpack them into this folder (overwrite is ok)
Info: If you do NOT want to include the changed data.inis to your installation, just go to all planes-folders in the temporary folder (Objects/Aircraft/A-4B, etc.) and delete all ini.files in each planes-folder.
2. open "Put_Contents_In_Your_MOD_Folder" from the temporary folder and copy the contents you want to your Vietnam-MOD-folder
3. if asked to overwrite, say 'yes'
4. Thats it!

USN / USMC Skins for Fast Cargo's F-5F. Read me included.
Hope you guys enjoy, 
Pappy

Simple skin pack with a few sets of skins for Navy versions of A-7 Corsair II - A/B/C/E that flew during the air war over Vietnam between 1967-1974.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) 
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
To run this mod you need also access to TW lod files from SF2 Series.
userlist.ini included covering correct years of use of specific models.
Skins cover the years 1967-1974  CVW deployments during Vietnam War. All squadrons year by year.
The pack contains skins and decals. 
Skins sets are made in pairs - two squadrons for CVW for a specific year. 
I could not find all the correct BuNo / Modex but I am considering this as ongoing work in progress, so one day if I will learn something new there will be an update. Also, not all squadrons have CAG markings, sometimes i could not find info on markings...so I left it, again there might be an update if new info appears.
I believe that the pack after unp[backing is around 2.6GB. So make some space for SLUF.
 
All skins, new bump maps, specular, and decals are made by me. 
 
report bugs.
enjoy. 
Jarek Hereda.
 
P.S.
This is huge, a lot of copy-paste for me, all decals.ini, textur.ini, etc...So if you will find that one decal is not showing up or something...just check first - maybe there is some bug in *.ini file. Fix, post solution, etc... So others can benefit from your fix. 
I put a lot of effort and time, and checked everything twice..still gremlins can appear. 
 
PART TWO - OPTIONAL MOD FILES.
This is only for experienced users!
who know how to improve the game for themselves, are not afraid of experimenting, and know how to go back to stock ini files if something is not okay.
This is based on my mod that unifies USN equipment (300 gal tanks, MERs, TERs etc.)
optional mod files include reworked data files - correcting usage of weapons, fuel tanks, etc. adding some specific tanks, and stations for specific launchers adding fake pilot mods etc, 
additional fake pilot mods (legendary fake pilot mod required!)
additional loadout ini files - for a better game experience 
additional weapons by Ravenclaw to cover weapons needed in new loadout ini files.
D704 refueling pod/fuel tank by Nyghtfall from his great A-4 pack.. 
I highly recommend picking up piece by piece from optional mods, testing, and deciding whether to use them or not.
Use the optional mod as a separate mod or as a reference to make your own.

Two Skins for SF2 & SFV2 A-4E_65. Screenshots in zip

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!

F-100D 'Pretty Penny' (481TFS) skin for SF2V:
 
This skin is for Thirdwire's stock F-100D_64. It represents a single F-100D of 481st Tactical Fighter Squadron.
"Pretty Penny" was flown by 1/Lt. Peter Vanderhoef and 1/Lt. Gerry Sloame. It was named for Sloame's wife.
 
INSTALLATION:
Unzip and put the Objects folder into your SF2V mod directory.
 
KNOWN ISSUES:
None, but the original kills marks for AG are missing (you'll get the ones for AA kills instead) and the markings are in black instead of insignia blue.
The latter issue won't be fixed, since both sources show black markings.
 
SOURCES:
-ESCI F-100D Super Sabre in 1/72, Kit 9022
-Drendel, Lou. F-100 Super Sabre in Action. Squadron/Signal Publications, 1973. p. 26.
 
Have fun!

Bat Bird Texture pack
 
by: Fubar512
 
 
This texture-set represents Ed Rasimus's F-105D, "The Bat Bird", as it would have appeared in its heyday.
 
The USAF had not fully implemented the two-letter tail code in those days, so birds from the 421st TFS flew with their vertical stabs unadorned, save for an abbreviated code. And that code consisted of the last digit of the fiscal year in which a particular bird was ordered, followed by its 4-digit serial number.
 
"Nose Art" was not officially authorized, so the Bat Bird insignia was present for only two weeks during Ed Rasimus's tour with the 421st.
 
I've also taken the liberty of tweaking a few values in the F-105D-66 flight dynamics file, including its power plant's thrust values and altitude tables. The former was corrected to the proper values for a J75-P-19W mill, the latter simply an expanded table to more accurately reflect performance at altitude.
 
Engine, gear, and flap sounds have also been provided.
 
Installation:
 
Simply extract the contents of the zip archive into your SF2V mod folder. It will overwrite only one file (the F-105D_66.ini file), and that will no effect it in any other way, other than changing the displayed model's name to it's correct one, and adding the necessary lines of code for the new texture-set.
 
It will also create sounds folder, if you did not have one, already.
 
If you're unsure of the location of your mod folders (it's location depends on which flavor of Windows you're running), simply go to the SF2 knowledge base at www.combatace.com, where you'll find all the help you need, and then some : )
 
Enjoy....

What-if Army Air Corps Cessna AOP MkI. Skin for the Overkill payware O-1D Bird Dog available here:
 
http://overkill.combatace.com/
 
I recommend this aircraft highly - it is easily the most carefully researched and built aircraft I have ever seen for SF2, and sets new standards in every respect. Well worth the very reasonable contribution.
 
This aircraft skin is inspired by the Auster AOP Mk.6, a very similar aircraft used by the British Army and some Commonwealth armed forces. The serial numbers correspond to blocks used for AOP Mk.6 aircraft.
