Cold War Aircraft Skins

MiG-23MF´s Skins and Tweaks pack Part 3
 
This has been the effort of a couple of months, trying to get as accurate as possible all the MiG-23MF´s. It comprehends all Warsaw Pact planes as well as the Cuban and the Semi ficticious Kyrgyzstan AF, most of them may now match completely since the paint differed from plane to plane, and all the info i got is from internet.
 
part Three includes planes from Hungary.
 
Also i used the cockpit made by Ordway and tweaked by Lindr2 before he dissapeared, a big thanks to both, actually this was a Lindr2`s initiative and i´m just completing it.
 
i´ve also created different folder per Nation to make it more interesting.
 
Some decals have been borrowed from previous packs, please if you feel them familiar let me know and i will give you credit.
 
INSTALLATION:
 
I´ve created a Main Folder and all you got to do is drop it´s contents in the Objects\Aircraft sub-folders, once done you can paste all the contents to the Objects folder of the SF2 game you wish and that´s it, you now will have several Warsaw Pact MiG-23MF planed ready to fly!
 
Feel free to use them only with no payware intentions, or there will be a bunch of guys hunting you for sure:)
 
A big thanks to Daniel Cocas Lieabert for all the patience to answer my questions and some of the decals made by him, to Eric Johnson who reminded of the weathering, Gepard and Soulfreak, who helped me with German numbers and all the friends i have in FB who liked the pics to complete this job.

Well after a couple of months, i finally could release this pack, i tried to get as much information as possible, so if i have something wrong, just let me know and i will try to fix it:)
 
These skins are made for Lindr2´s MiG-23M´s and they were released for SF2 use by Eburger, you can find the main files here:
 
Part 1: http://combatace.com/files/file/12151-sf2-mig-23-mig-27-floggers-part-1/
Part 2: http://combatace.com/files/file/12150-sf2-mig-23-mig-27-floggers-part-2/
Part 3: http://combatace.com/files/file/12149-sf2-mig-23-mig-27-floggers-part-3/
 
i´ve arranged everything for you just to drop it in the main folder for the game of your choice, it can be used in every and all versions of SF2.
 
I´ve made 2 Gray skins for the early M`s, one for VVS and the other PVO use, and 3 skins for the regular M`s one gray, one in desert colors for far east use and last a PVO one for use in europe.
 
Numbers were mere repaints of some i´ve found in my hard drive, i don´t know who made them, so if you recognize them, let me know and i will credit you:)
 
I also added Hangar and Loading screens for the planes and added the main ini, caution, if you don´t like the skins just don´t use the ini, because it will put my skins up front in the game.
 
Later variants for the Flogger family will be made, including MiG-27`s who are in the list, and the MiG-23ML´s to balance power in SF2:NA.
 
This skin set couldn´t be made without my brother Daniel "Cocas" Liebaert who patiently showed me the how´s for skinning, a big thanks to him.
 
Also to Lindr2 who made the base for the plane, hope we can see you soon sir!!!
 
And to all the advices given here like Wrench, who gave me a hint in stenciling.
 
Need to let you know this templates were made in 2048 x 2048 resolution, they might give you issues in weak rigs, but can be easily rescaled down.
 
I really hope you enjoy this pack, and hope i can continue making more.
 
Regards.

Avro Vulcan B2 XH562 'Zapped' in RNZAF 75 Squadron Markings
 
 
In 1972 XH562 of the NEAF Bomber (Akrotiri) Wing at RAF Masirah was spectacularly 'zapped' with RNZAF markings by the Royal New Zealand Air force whilst the aircraft was visiting New Zealand.
 
 
To install simply un zip then copy and past into your mods folder. It won't override anything but you will need to click yes and let the folders merge.
 
 
You will need the Avro Vulcan B.2(*) for SF2 by paulopanz:

Credit goes to him and the A-Team

ANG KC-135R StratoTanker Skins Part 3
 
Contained within this pack are skins for the following ANG units:
 
117th ARW - Alabama ANG. I found an online photo with a special 'Auburn' tail art on a Alabama ANG KC-135R from 2007.
126th ARW - Illinois ANG. I found a photo with updated Illinois ANG tail art on airfighters.com from 2011.
121st ARW - Ohio ANG.
 
Updated file for Iowa ANG:
I re-vamped the tail for this aircraft with a new font that closely resembles the actual tail on the 185th ARW's KC-135Rs.
 
Installation:
 
1) Unzip and place the Ohio ANG, Alabama ANG 2007 and Illinois ANG 2011 folders in your KC-135R main folder.
 
2) Add the texture sets to your KC-135R.ini file.

Open the Iowa ANG tail folder contained in this pack, select the .bmp file in this folder. Open the Iowa ANG folder from the previous pack that you installed. Paste the new .bmp file in this pack in the folder from the previous pack, and allow for overwrite. This will replace the old file with the new (and better!) file.
 
 
Thanks to the following:
 
- TK and Thirdwire
- 'Dave' for the following:
- For the KC-135R model original release.
- The 'ANG' on the tail and the ANG emblem on all of the skins were taken from the KC-135E model.
- Due to lack of references on the tail numbers, all of the skins in this pack use the KC-135E tail numbers.
 
- airliners.net, airfighters.com, and af.mil for skin references
 
Happy Tanking!

3) Fly away!
 
All of the artwork is to the best of my abilities. The Wyoming ANG tail band has a cowboy decal on the actual aircraft, but I was unable to design a suitable decal on the tail, so I left it off. Also, the Rhode Island tailwork is actually on a C-130J model, but I didn't find that out until after I designed the skin, so I included it anyways. Feel free to not install if you so choose.
 
 
Thanks to the following:
 
- TK and Thirdwire
- 'Dave'
- Original Model by Dels, additional work by bpao (RIP Oli)
