            BOEING B-47E STRATOJET 2nd Air Force Skins by COYOTE AEROSPACE
This is a semi historical mod to represent the B-47E in service with SAC's 15th Air Force.
It is semi historical because there were so many variations on equipment and markings across 1300+ aircraft
over its 12 year career that it is impossible to accurately represent all of them. Instead, a general sampling of 2nd AF
aircraft is shared here.
    INSTALLATION
get the aircraft here:

Esta es una skin para el A4-AR Fightinghawk inspirado en el famoso A-4Q de la Tercera Escuadrilla Aeronaval de Caza y Ataque, que operaba en el principio del conflicto de Malvinas desde el portaaviones ARA 25 de Mayo.
Esta skin solamente está inspirada en la pintura del A-4Q, por ende tal vez haya pequeños detalles históricos que hayan sido pasados por alto. Además de ciertas diferencias en el diseño de el A-4AR que hacen que la pintura sea todavía mas modificada para que coincida con el mismo.
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.

This is a skin for the A4-AR Fightinghawk inspired by the famous A-4Q of the Third Naval Air Squadron for Fighter and Attack, which operated at the beginning of the Malvinas conflict from the aircraft carrier ARA 25 de Mayo.
This skin is only inspired by the painting of the A-4Q, therefore there may be small historical details that have been overlooked. In addition to certain differences in the design of the A-4AR that make the painting even more modified to match it.
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  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.
That´s it. ;-)

Esta es una skin para el A4-AR Fightinghawk inspirado en el idolatrado A-4P (B) Skyhawk de la gesta de Malvinas, famosa por ser el grupo de el capitán Pablo Carballo y el teniente Carlos Rinke. Además de su participación elevada en ataque a buques británicos.
Esta skin solamente está inspirada en la pintura de los A-4P Skyhawk usados en el 82, por ende se pueden observar ciertas libertades como un logo en mayor definicion o la marca de los buques hundidos que se hicieron en posguerra.
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).

SF2NA A-4C_65 Pack
= Tested in SF2NA, Full-5 Merged
This project started as a personal customization to improve historically the skins for the CVW-1 A-4C_65's Squadrons  aboard JFK in her maiden cruise.
So,I realize them basically to be used in the Northern Sabre 69 present in the SF2NA Expansion Pack.
The skins are based on the superb Nyghtfall's templates,so much of the credit will be deserved by him.
All the decals was done by me.
All the Bu.Nos are historically correct for all three Squadrons.
 
==========
To Install:
As always raccomended,all in the relative folders in your game(s)
-----------------------------
Credits:
3W for the A-4C_65 model.
Nyghtfall for his  beautiful template
Me for the decals and the small improvements

------------
Know issue:

The only issue is common to all three skins: I collected all the Bu.Nos. assigned to all three Squadron, but was unable to associate the specific Modexes to some of them, so I'll be a bit licensing about this aspect
--------------------------------------------
Legal note:
This package may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware addition.

SF2 F-102A (v2k) ANG Skins & Decals Pack         8/2/2022

102nd FIS, NY ANG SEA Camo (72-75)
118th FIS, CT ANG (66-71)

SF2 RoCAF F-86F Sabre Skin & Decal Pack         10/14/2023
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
This is a new skin for the F-86F-40 available here at CombatAce at the following url:
https://combatace.com/files/file/13788-sf2-f-86f-40-sabre-remod-pak/
This pack is 'representative' of F-86F series Sabres used by the Republic of China Air Force (Taiwan). In truth, the RoCAF had several 86F sub-variants, but eventually almost all were brought up to -40 specs.
All markings, excepting the fuselage and wing ID bands are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE. All serial/buzz numbers are 100% historically accurate for Sabres serving in the RoCAF. They do not, however, replicate any specific or particular squadron. I was unable to run them down accurately enough. You have a "basic" full squadron of 26 numbers.
 
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!!

This is a complete overhaul/update/fixing of great Dave original package,
an handmade reskin using Lod viewer and no templates.
The job was started several years ago and finished after downloaded last
Kevin's effort.
So you'll find, jpg textures, SM files, fixed camo, lines and right shaped
stripes and some missing parts added to originals.
As I always dislike redoing someone's else work pratice without a valid
reason, this job started only for personal use, but when became a complete
overhaul, I decided to share.
As a bonus  a Defence Systems Evaluation skin made by myself using TW silver
skin as template (EB-57B) and a second AVON 1 skin for 13 BS.
Decals are taken from Dave's package and some are brand new.
Remember to delete ALL previous old skins from original pack if installed.
I hope you like.

Happy new year.

            About The Mirage Factory Rebuilt
Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in
use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009.
But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original
modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were
just hopeful wishes over a decade ago.
    The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced
with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is jsut standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today
and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him.

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!

TMF Boeing 707-300 Comprehensive Skinpack
This mod will replace the individual skins for the TMF 707 and adds my multi airline skins to it, covering the eras from the early 1960s until the late 1980s and will add some eye candy to your parking ramps or make for interesting intercept and escort targets
    INSTALLATION
This is only a skin pack with some additional items. First you will need the original located here:
then unzip and add this mod as well. allow overwrites.
You can delete the previous skins if you want, as they are represented in the skin pack
IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN NATIONS.INI, ADD FROM THE GIVEN TEXT FILE. This is for heavily modded installs
    INCLUDED
Decal sets covering most major users from 1959 until 1989
Skins to cover that time period in 9 blocks, with bare metal base skins
Nations and Formations ini for the "Airline" nation
    KNOWN ISSUES
Number 1:  THIS THING IS BIG! the fuselage tgas are 2048x2048 (working with details over an entire fuselage rather than basic colors
and curves) and the biggest sets are representing 32 airlines in their era! So this is not for the small of HDD space
Number 2: Due to quirks in the model, and ease for the modder it is not 100% aligned as in RL. the cabin windows are a little lower (which
allowed the logos to go one easier), and the curves tend to stop short of the radome.
Number 3: this uses the Herc pit to be flyable. I ad it to be able to check the decals, but leave it for those that may want to use it.
The pit is a piss poor match however, both with frames blocking and the higher tech than available even into the 80s for civilian birds
It is meant as eye candy, not operational missions.
Number 4: due to the size of things, some of the lettering is not to legible when you get close to it. Again, eye candy, its meant to be seen
from the runway when taking off or on an intercept. If your that close to see "hey it really is fuzzy" you will probably collide. Besides, the
thing is huge as is at teh current tga size
    UNSOLICTED ADVICE
I am one of those that likes all encompassing mods. If you have a certain era you would rather focus on, by all means delete the other eras
that you don't need. Again this thing is huge, but covers almost every user from 1959 through 1989.

A-1J "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-1J "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-7/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!). 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. 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-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.
 
Good Hunting!

CO-119 of the Canadian Army, 1960s. Skin for the Overkill payware O-1D Bird Dog available here:

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.
