Cold War Aircraft Skins

This is a skin/decal set for Phabulous Phantom. 
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) 
Pack contains skins and decals representing all F-4D users amid Air National Guard units. Skins are made for stock F-4D_78. F-4D was used between 1977 -1990 in ANG and these skins are fitting in 13 years of service. 
Mostly all serial numbers are correct for specific dates and units. If you will find some errors please feel free to send correction notes.
No ini files for this as this is only skin sets. Just simply add skin folders to your favorite F-4D_78. Or create a new, specific one for ANG use. 
You will find that some aircraft wear kill marks as in real life. If you want to have your own kill marks you have to modify decal.ini file. 
To fully enjoy this skin set you need to have ThirdWire F-4D_78. 
 
All skins are done in 2048x2048 based on Sundowners and Ravenclaw's work. 
Brand new Bump files in 2048x2048.
All decals made by me. 
Enjoy.
Regards.

A new historical skin and decals for F-4C_67 Phantom II.
Based on Sundowner great template slightly modified removing and/or deleting some markings and stencils and adding some more weathering here and there.Also I changed the colors of the belly aux doors and the area of the BLC .
Started as a tribute to my friend (then) Capt. Gene Korotky, flying with the Squadron during his tour of duty in 1968-69.
My original idea was to realize only SANDY BAY-BEE,the plane assigned to Capt. Korotky, and in some way I involved Paulopanz to help me with the decals; but the skill of Paulopanz are so high and Gene sent me so much pics and first hand refs that we decided to create a whole mod ...
CREDITS AND THANKS:
- Sundowner for is great work on the original template
- Paulopanz that create almost all the decals and improved those created by me and had the patience and will to teach me many things!
- Capt. Gene Korotky for all the references
ABOUT CREW NAMES:
We tried to add as more historically correct pilots names as possible, but it must be noted that crew names on the aircraft changed since the tours in Vietnam were for one year, meaning a constant changeover of personnel.

WHAT INSIDE:
The mod include a new skin and decals, a background file writed by Gene with info about the 12th TFW of which the 557th TFS was part and pics of the Squadron at the time of his 1968-69 tour of duty taken by Gene Korotky

TO INSTALL:
- As always all in main mod folder and that's all!
Good hunting

(1. to be continued)

Simple skin pack with a few sets of skins for Navy versions of A-7 Corsair II - A/B/C/E and E_74.
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.
 *.ini files for loadout, avionics, cockpit, or aircraft data - not included.
Skins cover the years 1970-1982 for the Atlantic and Pacific Fleet.  The pack did not cover Vietnam War CVW deployments.
Pack contains skins and decals. I have included also decals from the upcoming pack for low-viz SLUF. This way it is simpler for me, all decals are in one place, save time, and will not harm anything. 
Skins sets are made in pairs - two squadrons for CVW for a specific year. 
I could not find all proper 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 pack after unp[backing is around 2GB. So make some space for SLUF.
 
All skins, new bump maps, specular and decals are made by me. 
Decals are made by me...but I think I have used one or two decals from MAKOTO pack (VA-192?)
 
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, checked everything twice..still gremlins can appear.

SLUFs of grey.
Simple skin pack with a few sets of skins for US Navy A-7E Corsair II. This mod covers late years of use. 
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.
I highly recommend creating a new aircraft - for example A-7E_83. I have added a data file that will add a new pilot and new SJU seat along with HUD inside the cockpit. Just an eye candy thing.  At the end of 1982, Navy SLUFs started to receive new seats and some minor upgrades in avionics. 
A-7E_83_Data will add a new pilot, new seat, make openable canopy and foldable wings. Adds landing light and removes Fuel tanks model objects from stations 2 and 7. As A-7 can not carry fuel tanks there. (you can use this remove_mod from a file on older Corairs also)
The rest of the data file is basically stock one. So still no proper loadouts, rails for Shrikes / HARMs etc. If there will be demand I can upload new highly modified ini files at some point in the future/near future. 
Skins cover the years 1983-1991 for the Atlantic and Pacific Fleet.  Decal set for 'Desert Shiled' VA-46 and VA-72 is slightly different than in the ODS-30AE pack. (it is downgraded so I recommend not messing with this - mixing with original ODS)
Pack contains skins and decals. I have included also decals from the previous pack for hi-viz SLUF. So perhaps you can skip this folder but to be sure you can simply overwrite it. I believe there are two more serial numbers for VA-81 /1986.
Skins sets are made in pairs - two squadrons for CVW for a specific year. 
Skin-set for 1986 VA-82 has one small 'bug' In 1986 they were painting bird flying through A in AJ tail code. But I could not find a clear photo of it. So I decided to go without a bird. This is subject to possible updates of the pack in the future. 
I could not find all proper 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 pack after unp[backing is around 1GB. 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. No need to panic! Fix, post solution, etc... So others can benefit from your fix. 
I put a lot of effort and time, checked everything twice..still gremlins can appear. 
 
QUICK FIX!
I just uploaded an additional seat called - seat_SJU-8. This is the proper seat that is required by optional data.ini.

Sometimes ago I made LSK/NVA historical serials using Soulfreak’s temps, including “Q” badges on known planes.
I wanted to use them on a silver and maybe a camo skin.
But TK made the Camo for SF2EU and Gepard the bluesilver one for SF1.
 
So I used my decals with those existing skins to add a bit of authenticy to the game.
 
I hope You like it.
