Elek said: "On the right side of the planes, the numbers are indeed in Arabic,
but the letter should also be in Arabic.
It should be the letter "lam" which is the equivalent to the letter "L" in English. They do look similar."
 
He send to me the "lam" font and I have redone the decal set following his hints.
 
Thanks Elek.
 
 
Enjoy 1.1

IAI Nesher for SF2I
 
This package includes all known single seat Neshers of the IAF. The Nesher was in service from 1971 to 1981 in four different squadrons, three of them before and during the Yom Kippur War, in which the type was used with great success.
By the end of the Yom Kippur War Nesher 510 had shot down 13 enemy aircraft, equalising the record for the highest number of kills for a single Israeli plane, previously held by the Shahaks 58 and 59.
 
No. 101 First Fighter Squadron - 1971-1975
No. 113 Hornet Squadron - 1972-1976
No. 144 Arava Guardians Squadron - 1972-1978
No. 253 The Negev Squadron - 1976-1981
 
A note on the serial numbers: The historical correct serial numbers in this package include two digit numbers as well as three digit serial numbers. All Neshers were numbered at first with the two digit serial numbers,
but with the arrival of the two seater, the single seat model's serial numbers where changed to 5XX while the two seaters were numbered 6XX.
 
INSTALLATION:
Extract the content of the archive and put the Objects folder into your SF2I mod folder.
In case you can't see the full names of each skin in the loadout menu (lower screen resolution), navigate to the the folder named "optional" and copy the Objects folder to your SF2I mod folder. Let overwrite when asked.

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!

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!!

F-84F "Thunderstreak" Skin and Inis Update Pak


 
 

-- For FULL-4 Merged SF2 (Prefered) and/or SF2:E =ONLY!!!=


 
This ini and skin pak will update your stock F-84F Thunderstreak to a player-flyable aircraft (if you havn't done so already), and adds a new skin representing the 170th TFS, 183rd TFW, Illinois ANG, circa 1961 when the unit was Federalized during the Berlin Crisis.
Also, an update to the stock "USAFSilver1" skin, adding serial and buzz number decals, and repositioning the TAC tail badge. Consider this a 'generic' USAF skin, NOT representing any particular unit. Just 'dressing up' the old girl a little for the dance...
 
New, updated inis have been included; main, data, loadout and avionics, along with a loadout tga and NEW hangar screen. A radar-ranging gunsight has been added (APG-30), and all the lights have been corrected and expanded, adding the landing/taxi light and formation/ID lights on the vertical stab. The canopy has been activated via a manual animation control keystroke; use shift/0 to open and close.
 
Other upgrades included "splitting" the inboard stations into 2 groups, allowing for the historic use the Mk.7 nuclear weapon on the left side, and the drop tank on the right. This loadout is NOT set in the loadout ini (standard bombs are), but is available for player selection from the loadout screen when in game. The Mk.7 weapons ARE included, courtesy of one lindr2's weapons paks. They've been converted for SF2 usage. Nuke effects are NOT included. The cockpit is from Zur's F-86s, with my K-14 gunsight.
 
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. Of course, there's the usual 'Notes" section for explanations, ramblings, and other odd things.
 
Happy Landings!

Please read update below if you have installed Jan 2011 Patch, Update......
 
A fictional skin for ThirdWire’s SF2 F-4M so you have to have ThirdWire’s SF2 F-4M in game or it will not work.
 
Just copy into your F-4M folder, stock folder, will only work in ThirdWire's F-4M Folder. Uses stock lods, decals and weapons by Thirdwire.
 
Thank You to TK and Thirdwire for the games.
 
To CombatAce for a place to upload and download files.
 
Warning, again if you do not have ThirdWire's SF2 series games with an F-4M, the skin will not work.
 
James Fox.
 
21/01/2011 Update;
---------------------------
Warning,
 
If you have not patched to Jan 2011 and do not have a game with Thirdwires F-4M, or you have not downloaded my skin, then this will not work and you do not need to do this.
 
 
This is a fix-up for my RAF Desert skin. All you have to do is copy and paste this F-4M folder into you Thirdwire Aircraft folder. It will prompt to overwrite, let it, it should not effect anything but correct a folder naming conflict.
 
Thirdwire has released a new skin of their own to the F-4M folder with the Jan 2011 Patch which has the same name as my Desert skin. So I have renamed my Desert skin and included the correction to add Thirdwires new skin as it should be.
 
Skin Folders should look like this when you are done;
 
DESERT
RAFCAMO1
RAFCAMO2
 
Plus the F-4M configuration file which I have also corrected to correct my error.
 
Sorry for the inconvenience but I should have known better and not followed Thirdwires naming conventions.
 
PS, I have included a little decals edit which allows stock serial numbers to be shown on Thirdwire F-4M models fuselage only.
For some reason Thirdwire has not included them on the fuselage, they are only on the underside of the wings.
 
Thanks to TK, Thirdwire and CombatAce.
 
James Fox.
 
 
 
 

A semi-fictional skin for ThirdWire’s Lightning6 so you have to have ThirdWire’s SF2 Lightning6 included in SF 2 Expansion 2 December 2010.
 
Just copy into your Lightning6 folder, stock folder, will only work in ThirdWire's Lightning6 Folder. Uses stock lods, decals and weapons by Thirdwire. So if you want to change country all you have to do is select the nation you want from the Nation pull-down menu at the single mission create screen.
 
Thank You to TK and Thirdwire for the games.
To CombatAce for a place to upload and download files.

EF-4C 'Phantom' WW IV 81st TFS Skin Pak


 
 

-- For FULL-4 Merged SF2 (Prefered) and/or SF2:V/SF2:E =ONLY!!!=


 
(it can acutally be used in any SF2 install that has the access to the F-4C_67)
 
This is to fill a request presented to me by daddyairplanes, to add a new skin for the 81st TFS, 52nd TFW, USAFE, based at Spangdahlem AFB from 1973-79ish, where they were the only SEAD-dedicated squadron in theatre. The EF-4Cs were replaced by F-4G WW Vs, which were in turn replaced by F-16CJs. Even though the 81st now flys Hogs, but, ya get the picture! <grin>
 
It is designed to add to the "sf2 EF-4C Update Pak" released recently. You can find the update pak at CombatAce, at the following URL:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/11630-ef-4c-phantom-wild-weasel-iv-for-sf2/
 
It should be noted, that =THIS= skin is for a European based squadron, so if installilng into a stand-alone SF2:E -make double damn sure you have the F-4C_67 avialabile on you planes list!!!!! (Merged installs, and those users that have run the SF2E.exe to create a SF2E mods folder should have the aircraft already) When in doubt about mods folders, consult the CA Knowledge Base.
 
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 (read: drag and drop).
 
Good Hunting!
