F-4D (78), North Dakota ANG "The Happy Hooligans" by Chris
By Wrench
F-4D (78) USAF, North Dakota Air National Guard Skin and Decal Pak
= For SF2 (Full-4 Merged Recommended)
*Note: can be used in any install with access to the F-4D_78*
Slight modifications to a 1stGen skin pak done by "Chris" in 2005, brings it to SF2.
This skin represents the 178th FIS, 119th FIG North Dakota Air National Guard, aks "The Happy Hooligans". All decals used herein are from this original pak. The skins are stock, with a new-made _5.bmp to add the painted on fin stripe
Other mods included are the data and userlist inis, with corrected 'end-of-service-dates', as many ANG units seem to have used the D until the early 1990s. Also, the canopy has been activated via the usual manual animation key (shift/0). Couldn't pass that one up!
For grins and giggles, jpg copies of the skin maps are included .. in case someone wants to save HD space.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! The original 2005 readme is included. Any mistakes/errors are all mine.
Happy Landings!!

ps: having placed their home base on the terrain I working on, couldn't resist having more Hooligans!

A-4B Skyhawk, VA-83 Rampagers (1958, ATG-201)
By Wrench
VA-83 A-4B Skyhawk Skin/Decal Pak
= For SF2 (Any and All, Full-4 Merged Prefered) =
*Can be used in any install that has access to the A-4B*
This skin pack reproduces A-4B Skyhawks of VA-83 "Rampagers" circa 1958, as seen aboard USS Essex (CVA-9) as part of ATG-201, during the Beirut Crisis of that timeframe, supporting the US Marines during the intervention.
All new decals, 100% historcally correct for the serial (Bureau) numbers for those -B Scooters used by VA-83 during this time period. I was unable to match Modex to BuNum, but that's a small thing

A-4C Skyhawk VA-76 "Spirits"
By Wrench
A-4C Skyhawk VA-76 Sprits Skin Pak
-- For SF2, Any and All that have the A-4C Accessable --
This skin/decal represents VA-76 Spirits as seen in 1962/63 when based USS ENTERPRISE (CVAN-65) during her Med Cruise and during the Cuban Missile Crisis quarantine as part of CVG-6. All new decals (plus one "borrowed" stock one and editated to suit) have been created for the various markings and such.
Other mods include tweeked data and loadout inis. The loadout ini changes the STRIKE loadout to use a TER with 2 Mk82s each (I Like a little more striking power); if you don't want to carry 4 Mk 82 bombs, just delete the loadout ini, and it'll revert back to stock. Or, you can re-edit, remove the RackType reference, and replace with 2 1000 pound Mk.83s. Your choice!. Data ini changes include activating the canopy via a manual animation key (use Shift/0 to open and close), and the addition of the landing light.
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!

EF-4C, 81st TFS, USAFE
By Wrench
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).

F-4E_86, 45th TFW "The Warbirds" Skin Set (Fictional)
By Wrench
F-4E (86) Phantom II Skin Set - 45th TFW "The Warbirds"
-- For SF2 (any/all) --
This skin/decal set is designed for use =ONLY= on the TMF F-4E ARN-101, as this
is the proper airframe for the time period depicted. You can find/download the
aircraft at the following URL:
http://combatace.com/files/file/9268-mirage-factory-f-4e-phantom-arn-101-for-sf2
-series/
You MUST install this aircraft first, before applying this skinpak.
This is a fictional skin, representing the 45th TFW's 3 squadrons, as seen in the
Richard Herman novel "The Warbirds". The novel tells the story of a fictional
Persian Gulf war, wherein the 45th are (basically) the only US Air Power in
the region. I won't go into the storyline, but since it all revolves around a
Phantom unit (the book says it's the last USAF Phantom unit, btw), and EVERYONE
love Phantoms ... it's a no brainer, eh?
The 3 Squadrons of the Wing are represented. They are:
377th TFS
378th TFS
379th TFS
They carry the tail badges as when assigned to RAF Stonewood. After much
discussion with the Resident Experts , it was decieded that the 45th's
deployment to Ras Assanya was just that -a deployment-, and they would still
carry the codes from their parent unit or base. Each squdron also has it's own
tailfin color flash.
A slightly modified Loadout ini is included, with some weapons changes (back to
Iron Bombs ). In reality, these late-model aircraft were used more on PGM
delivery (ie: laser guided bombs) than 'dumb-bombs'. The Dumb Bombs fit more with
the descriptions in the book.
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).
Don't forget to read the "Notes & Other Nonsense" for various and sundry
ramblings of a madman, and Full Credits.
Good Hunting!

F-4J(UK) Phantom II
By Wrench
F-4J (UK), Royal Air Force
=For SF2, Any and All (Full-4 Merged Reccomended/Preferred,etc)
This package will create a new aircraft, the F-4J(UK), as used by the RAF in the post-Falklands era, by No. 74 "Tiger" Squadron. This mod uses ALL stock, in game items for weapons (excepting the SUU-23black gunpod included, just in case you ain't got it). No lods or cockpit bits are supplied, as everything is referenced from the stock 3W USN/USMC F-4J. Loadouts have been adjusted to use RAF weapons.
Almost all new decals have been created, with 100% accurate serial and ID call letters for the 15 aircraft taken from US stocks to beef-up UK Air Defense. Historically, 74 was used pretty much ONLY in the AD role, but for fun & playability I've left all the other mission statements intact, excepting SEAD.
2 skins are supplied with this pak, making use of the 'change skin by year switch' from some previous patch or another. They are:
3-tone grays w/plane tail (1982-1987)
3-tone grays w/all black tail (1987-??)
**Please Note: these are Hi-Rez skins, at 2048x2048. End Users with weaker machines may need to resize down 1 step**
All decals are the same for both skins; several of which are taken from Sundowners' original mod -why waste good decals?.
Decal radomization is set to TRUE, so be at whatever patch level is requried (post May/June/whatever!)
For fun, you might want to LOOK at the supplied numberlist -- look closley at the vertical column of call letters for the 1st six aircraft. See if you can see what it says!
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! The expected "Notes" section as well, for those interested.
With special thanks to Ant for uploading his Phantom templates some time ago -- it sure makes life easier when you've go the best to work with!! Any/all mistakes are mine, and mine alone.
Happy Landings!

MiG-21MF Fishbed-J, EAF, Hi-Viz Markings
By Wrench
MiG-21MF, EAF, Hi-Viz Markings
= For SF2, Any/All (albeit Designed with SF2:I in Mind) =
A simple repaint for the stock MiG-21MF Fishbed-J in Egyptian Air Force service. This skin repsents 'late model' versions with the Hi-Visibiliby Orange Triangles.
Based off the stock skin, and run though my Home-Grown Template Set ; all markings use stock in-game items.
This skin makes use of the 'start default year' statment in it's textureset.ini, and is set for 1983. My "best guess" as based on photos and other researched kinda stuff.
This skin is in jpg format for post-Nov 2011 patch level. If you are not at that level (for whatever insane reason), you'll have to convert them back to bmp. Also included are slightly modified Data and Loadout inis, making some small, but needed, adjustments. The canopy is activated via the Standard Manual Animation Keystroke -shift/0. The engine sound has been changed to the TMF "MiGEngine.wav", also included.
It is also quite possible this skin can be adapted for use on other Fishbed variants, as used by the EAF.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
Obviously, this mod makes the assumption (Oh! That Word!!) you've made this aircraft flyable.
Happy Landings!

SF2 Korean War Era PLAAF/NKPAF MiG-15

SF2 Korean War Era PLAAF/NKPAF MiG-15
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged, =PLUS= SF2I Expansion Pak 1 (Required!!!) =
*Note: You =MUST= have SF2:I Expansion Pak 1 to gain access to the MiG-15. If you don't have it, downloading this mod will do you no good, as you won't have the aircraft it's intended for*
A small reskin/decal mod for the stock 3W MiG-15 (no suffix) Fagot-A, in PLAAF markings of the 72 GvIAP. Which we all know, of course, was "actually" North Korean, flown by "advisors" from the Soviet Union <grin>.
It represents the first operational PLAAF/NKPAF Squadron for the MiG, which scored the first air-to-air kills against UN forces in Korea.
Skins maps are in jpg format, decal randomization is TRUE.
Included are modifided data, loadout and main inis (along with my PatentPending 'xMiG-15.ini' that allows for easy restoration to flyable status, after patching or game-generated random re-writes). A 'new' seat and my 'PilotER' figure are included, as well as new sounds. Stary's cockpit as well is here for you flying pleasure (with a repainted gunsight tga for those of us with Old Eyes ™). A Hangar screen is NOT included. The canopy opens via the Usual Suspect ™ keystroke, Shift/0.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Just for fun!

IL-28 Beagle, Fuerza Aérea Revolucionara (Cuba)
By Wrench
IL-28 Beagle, Fuerza Aérea Revolucionara (Cuba) (semi-fictional)
= For SF2, Any and All, Merged or Not, With Access to the IL-28 =
This skin pak creates Cuban Air Force (FAR) IL-28s, had they been assembled and put into service during The Crisis of Oct/Nov 1962. (as everyone knows, of course, they weren't)
A new, edited Userlist.ini is included adding Cuba, with a VERY short operational life span (2 years). No other changes have been effected. All markings, etc, are stock; with the exception of the tail's skin bmp -it was partly retemplated to redraw panel and rivet lines to add the FAR flash.
An 'optional' folder includes a set of inis and will make the IL-28 player-flyable (if you've not done so already), using all stock in-game items (ie: F-4B pit, due to it's twin-engine annunciators, and GM radar. Probably not perfect, but it works! <grin>). The cockpit ini has had all the readings/measurments converted to metric standard (Kilometers per hour, Meters-per-second, etc). An audio-only RWR is included (don't know IF they actualy had one...but it'll help out somewhat). Small data ini tweeks add landing lights and some AI data. A new Hangar screen is included for those so inclined to use it.
As always, fairly easy to follow, somewhat detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....

F-104G, ROCAF
By Wrench
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!

P-2H Neptune MLD (Netherlands Naval Air Service)
By Wrench
P-2H "Neptune" RNNAS (MLD) Skin/Decals Pak
-- For SF2, Any & All --
This skin and decal pak is for the P-2H Neptune, and recreates aircraft from 320 Squadron, Royal Netherlands Naval Air Service (aka Marine-Luchtvaartdienst or MLD), in the 1970s.
Designed for the recently released SF2 upgrade, which can be found here:
http://combatace.com/files/file/11914-p-2h-neptune-skinsdecals-and-ini-update-pak/
(yes, shameless self-promotion!)
This adds another user's skin, with (hopefully!) historically accurate markings and serials.
Another minor tweek, is the canopy glass tga has now been made fully transparant.
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. A note about the canopy glass tga is in here too!

JASDF F-86 Sabre Skin Pak
By Wrench
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!!

Ethiopian Air Force F-86F-40 Sabre Skin & Decal Pak
By Wrench
Ethiopian AF F-86F-40 Sabre Skin Pak
= For SF2, Any and All =
A new skin/decal pak for the Sabre, representing those as flown by the Ethiopian Air Force in the 1960s through the mid-1970s. Designed specifically for the F-40 (as this model/lod has the least in-game problems -ie shadow probs), it can be used on any version as they're all mapped the same. However, what little data is availalbe seems to suggest the later 'hard winged' versions. So, stick to that one
A modifed Loadout ini, with Ethiopian nation-specific loads, is included, as they never seemed to have been fitted with Sidewinders. This A-A load has been eliminated via the magic of that recently (as of Sept/Oct 2011 patch) implemented trick. Ground attack loadouts using rockets keep the 8 HVAR loads. All others are the same as before.
A new "Userlist.ini" is also included, that replaces the one from my JASDF Sabre Pak. It would be advisable to add THIS package over that one, or you'll be editing the main ini to add the Userlist line.
Serial numbers are/have been extrapolated from the 3 known photos - one of which was a derlict camo aircraft, and are not 100% historically accurate (excepting 251 and 258). The aircraft is in Natural Metal, as delivered from the USA. Sometime in the 1970s, the EtAF recieved several dozen from Iranian stocks, which were painted in the same camo colors as the IIAF F-5s. That skin may be forthcoming...who knows!

Somali Air Corps MiG-17F Fresco-C
By Wrench
Somali Air Corps MiG-17F Fresco-C
=For SF2, Any and All with MiG-17F Avaliable=
A new skin and decal set for the stock 3W MiG-17F Fresco-C, representing those as used by the SAC in the 60s/70s and maybe the early 1980.
With so little hard data available, and only 2 know serials, some conjecture and extrapolation was used in creating the others. 24 decals are supplied for the serials, all other markings are stock items. Locations, from the 4 existing pictures -and 2 were Farmers and of no use!- showed the serial sometimes on the nose, sometimes on the vert fin. I've 'split the difference', and placed them on both. 100% historical accuracy is =NOT= claimed. Decal randomization is set to TRUE for the serials.
It's reccomended that you have converted your AI-Only Fresco to Player-Usable by adding Ordway's cockpit pak availalbe somewhere in the CA downloads section
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!!

Ethiopian AF MiG-23 Flogger-H Skin Pak
= For SF2, Any and All =
*Note: Full-4 Merged reccomended, but can be use in any game with access to the MiG-23BN*
A new skin/decal pak for the stock 3rd Wire MiG-23BN "Flogger-H", representing EtAF Floggers from the late 1970s to the present.
This is a complete package, containing Ordway's cockpit mod (just in case you haven't made it flyable). Modified data and loadout inis, and so forth. The canopy has been activated via animation key, the Usual Suspect , Shift/0. An extra main ini, called "xMiG-23BN.ini" is supplied so after patching, or DLC installation, a simple 'one click' will return this aircraft to Player-Usable status. Instruction on how-to are in the "To Install" section below.
The skin is based of the stock 3W one for the SyAF, as it has the closest colors and camo pattern, with all new decals and serials. Insignia decals are stock in-game items. Serials for 26 aircraft are supplied. Decal randomization is set to TRUE, and has a default start date of 1977 (when they recieved their first ones). The number sequencing (10**) is correct for these aircraft (some may have also used the 11** sequence, as there were 2 full squadrons of Flogger-Hs in the EtAF)
A new, SF2 style hanger screen is also included.
The GunnyPak or other weapons pak is reccomended, as the CAS/Armed_Recon loadout calls for RBK cluster bombs.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them! At least once!!

This is a complete package, containing Paladrain's cockpit (just in case you haven't made it flyable yet). Modified data and loadout inis, and so forth. The canopy has been activated via animation key, the Usual Suspect , Shift/0.
An extra main ini, called "xMiG-21MF.ini" is supplied so after patching, or DLC installation, a simple 'One click Operation' will return this aircraft to Player-Usable status. Instruction on how-to are in the "To Install" section below.
The skin is based of the stock 3W one for the SyAF, as it has the closest colors and camo pattern, with all new decals and serials. (note: some as originally delivered were in Natural Metal. Camo looks better to me!) Insignia decals are stock in-game items. Serials for 25 aircraft are supplied. Decal randomization is set to TRUE, and this skin has a default start date of 1977 (when Ethiopia recieved their first ones). The number sequencing (10**) is correct for these aircraft as there were at least 2 full squadrons of Fishbeds of varying marks in the EtAF, including some 21bis. Many of which were captured or defected to Eritrea during the civil war.
A new, 'generic Fishbed' SF2 style hanger screen is also included.
All weapons called for are stock, in-game items from/for a Full-4 Merged install. A new 'year specific' loadout for all users has been added to the loadout ini, based on several profiles and pictures I came across doing research. (adds more missles, similar to 21bis - apparently, =MANY= MFs were modified this way)

Stock F-4 Phantom 2 USAFCamo1 Decalpack, and Ini Tweek
As the title says, this adjusts the SEA scheme in game to accept the later year Units. Earlier Phantom models have a second skin named SEA73, while later models just have their decal ini's editted. I have also included the effects, weapons and sounds from my Post Vietnam Pack as well as some new loading screens. This also includes the 95% finished version of my all ube squadronlist.ini, now with many place holders so that patching should not throw the squadrons into disarray.
Created in Full5 merged, but should work in any stand alone SF2 version except for NA. Will need SF2Europe for the D and E _75 and _78.
Install is the same as always. For further questions please consult the readme.
Any issues with tailcodes, please post a screenshot with your question or gripe. And do remember, this is meant for after 1973, so the tailcodes will not be the same.
In fact many Vietnam era users will have blank tails as they no longer flew the Phantom after 1973-74. If you want that user, regular USAFCamo1 is left alone for all models prior to 1975.
I hope you enjoy this mod!

F-105D Hill AFB Skins
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
Thank you for downloading this mod!

DLC21 USAF F-4 Skinpack Decalpack and Ini tweeks
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.

A-7E (74) VA-72 Bluehawks skin pak -SF2/SF2NA
By Wrench
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(74) Lo-Viz Skin/Ini Pak for SF2/SF2NA
By Wrench
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!

A-4B Skyhawk, VMA-331 Bumblebees Skin/Decals Pak
By Wrench
A-4B Skyhawk VMA-331 Bumblebees Skin Pak
-- For SF2, Any and All that have the A-4B Accessable
This skin/decal represents VMA-331 Bumblebees as seen in 1962/63 when based at NS Rossevelt Roads, Puerto Rico and NS Guantanamo Bay (aka Leeward Field), Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis
All new, historically accurate BuNum decals have been created (thank you Skhawaks.org!!). Unfortunately, the listing didn't match Modex to BuNum, so it's not perfectly accurate.
Other mods include a tweeked data and loadout ini. The loadout ini changes the STRIKE bombs to use 1000 pounders. Data ini changes include activating the canopy via a manual animation key (use Shift/0 to open and close), and the addition of the landing light.
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).
Happy Hunting!

A-4C (65) Skyhawk, VSF-1 "Warhawks"
By Wrench
A-4C (65) Skyhawk, VSF-1 "Warhawks" Skin/Decal Pak
= For SF2 (Full-4 Merged Prefered) and/or SF2:V =
*Can be used in any install that has access to the A-4C_65, which comes from SF2:V. Hence, the 'Full-4 Merged' tag is applicable *
This skin set replicates A-4C Skyhawks as used by Antisubmarine Warfare Fighter Squadron 1 (VSF-1) during the 1965-1971 timeframes. I won't go into defining the "VSF" concept, you can research that on your own. (Google is your friend). Think of the Composite Squadron concept, as used during WW2 on the CVE Escort Carriers. These aircraft gave a modicum of air defense for the CVS-class carriers, while still maintaining their Light Attack Role
All but 3 of the decals are new; those were reused from a 1stGen mod by Paul Nortness (Fist of the Fleet). All BuNums are 100% historically accurate for A-4Cs as used by VSF-1. Unfortunatly, I was unable to match Modex to BuNum, so some inaccuracy in inherent. Research shows (via photo evidence), of some Dets have Modex numbers in the 570 and 580 ranges. I've chosen the slightly non-historical route for those. Please see the "Notes" section below for more information on BuNum assigned to aircraft on USS INDEPENDENCE.
Decal randomization is set to TRUE, so be at least at the June 2011 patch level (or whichever one gave it to us)
A couple of inis are included; the loadout ini has some minor changes for a couple of mission profiles. The data ini has had the landing light added, and (of course!) the canopy activated, via manual animation. Use shift/0 to open and close it.
All 'standard' Skyhawk mission profiles are retained.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
Good Hunting!

MiG-21F Fishbed-C, Fuerza Aérea Revolucionara (Cuba)
By Wrench
MiG-21F Fishbed-C, Fuerza Aérea Revolucionara (Cuba)
= For SF2, Any and All, Merged or Not, With Access to MiG-21F =
As stated above, you MUST have an install that has the MiG-21F in it. As this is pretty much ALL installs, it should work in all types, merged or not. It also assumes you've made the aircraft flyable. If not, consult the CombatAce Knowledge Base for instructions.
The skin is a base natural metal with a partly repainted (from a partial template) tail bmp to add the FAR rudder flash. The stock in-game Bort number decals are used, as all the photographic evidence seems to point that way. (in fact, other than the repainted tail bmp, everything is stock!)
The latest (as of 1/11 patch) _data ini is included, as I've activated the canopy, and included a modified Loadout ini, that adds the centerline drop tank to the base Air-to-Air loadout, and reset the RECON loadout. The engine sound has been set to the old TMF "MiGEngine.wav" (not supplied), but there are several good/better ones out there for you to find.
A replacement main ini (MiG-21F.ini), and a NEW avionics ini that activates the gun-ranging radar are included. When installing allow for the overwrite. Any other skins will be automatically added (so, not to worry!)
The canopy is activated via a manual animation key (use shift/0 to open and close it). As all the decals used are stock, there are no additional decals to be added.
As always, fairly easy to follow, highyl detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....

MiG-15bis Fagot-B, Fuerza Aérea Revolucionara (Cuba)
By Wrench
MiG-15bis Fagot-B, Fuerza Aérea Revolucionara
= For SF2, Full-4 Merged, PLUS Expansion Pak 1 =
As stated above, you MUST have -at minimum!!- SF2 (full-4 merged) plus and/or SF2I with Expansion Pak 1, as this added the 15bis to our aircraft stable. As I have a full-4 merged, plus both expansions, I can't say for sure it's available any other way.
The skin, is a base natural metal, with a partly repainted (from a partial template) tail bmp to add the FAR rudder flash. The stock in-game Bort number decals are used, as all the photographic evidence seems to point that way. (in fact, other than the repainted tail bmp, everything is stock!)
The latest (as of 1/11 patch) _data ini is included, as I've activated the canopy, added a different pilot (my craptastic PilotER), and a seat ("liberated" from Pakso's old version -- fits quite nicely, too!) for him to park it on. The 'main' ini is also included, as I've included Ordway's Mig Pit, making the aircraft player-flyable (as if you all haven't done that alreadly!). The engine sound has been set to the old TMF "MiGEngine.wav" (not supplied), but there are several good/better ones out there for you to find.
The canopy is activated via a manual animation key (use shift/0 to open and close it).
As always, fairly easy to follow, highyl detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
