    4. USAF RF-101A 2 skins pack

      USAF RF-101A
      When Enrico made this fantastic plane, there was only with a Rocaf skin in the pack.
      So I made these 363rd TRW & 18th TRS, 363rd TRW skins for USAF recon mission (maybe over Cuba!).
      The serials, as usual, are historical.
      I hope You like them.
       
      As a bonus I included a new RF-101 loadout.tga, true SF-2 Style.
      Instal instructions - if needed - in readme.
       
      A little service note is in the pack, too.
       
      This a very great plane/model, for me one of the best ever.
      Enjoy it.

    6. P-2H Neptune MLD (Netherlands Naval Air Service)


      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!
       
      Happy Hunting!

    14. A-7E (74) VA-72 Bluehawks skin pak -SF2/SF2NA

      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!

    15. MiG-21MF Fishbed-J, EAF, Hi-Viz Markings

      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!

    16. F-104A, Pakistani AF, and Ini Tweeks Pak

      F-104A, Pakistani Air Force, And Ini Tweeks Pak
      = For SF2, Any and All =
       
      Some modifications (ini wise) and a new-ish skin for the recently re-released revamp of Ajundair's F-104A Starfighter. This package is =ONLY= to be applied to the F-104A Pak by Spillone104, available at:
       
      http://combatace.com/files/file/13082-f-104a-pack/
       
      This adds a Pakistani AF skin, with historical serial numbers (albeit 2 are for 104Bs ...) as used by No. 9 Squadron; Decal randomization is set to TRUE. Also included are several inis with some additions and corrections.
      Please note, the skins are in jpg format, so be at least at the Jan 2012 patch level for them to work. If not ... you can figure out the alternatives.
       
      The inis are:
      Data.ini (with corrected export dates, and steerable nose wheel)
      Userlist (with, hopefuly correct years)
      Loadout ini (corrects the "always loading Falcons" issue)
      main ini (with some minor additions)
      Hangar screen (albeit the SF2 revamped 1stGen F-104G, but the differences are so small...)
      Cockpit.ini, (with working secondary ADI and oil pressure gauges, ala F-104G)
      the included cockpit folder does NOT have the lod, but does contain the hi-rez skins by batman1976; and probably several other not used bmps -- I couldn't remember which ones to remove, so left them alone
       
      As always, READ the enclosed readme for usual fully detailed install instructions.
       
      Happy Landings!

    17. F4 PhantomII kills_MOD

      This MOD for US F-4 Phantom II air victory decals(stars on fuselage)
      -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      best American aces of the Vietnam War had about five victories in air combat.
      But in campaign(Wings over Vietnam) on the F-4 Phantom II the player can shoot down more than 30 aircraft ....)
      In this case, on board the F-4 Phantom II will be 30 (!) Stars symbolizing the 30 aircraft shot down.
      with my little modification, the first star will be
      aboard the F-4 Phantom II after just 10 aircraft shot down.
      the second star - after 20 downed
      third star - after 30 downed
      Thus, marks of air victories will seem true )

    18. F-86E Sabre, 54th FIS "The Hunters" ver.2.0

      F-86E Sabre, 54th FIS "The Hunters" ver.2.0
       
      - Version 2 for SF2 -
       
      Based on the movie "The Hunters" (as if you didn't know!!!)
       
      A revamp and cleanup of my original "The Hunters" F-86 Sabre skin. This pack WILL replace any eariler version you may have.
       
      While designed for the F-86E, it can be used on any late version (E or F). However, the movie clearly shows the aircraft to be E models (as evidenced by the opening montage, and the all-flying tail, and wing slats). If used on other variants, editing of the decals.ini will be required.
       
      Not much really changed; skins are now jpg format (rebuilt from ravenclaw's SUPERB template), decal randomization is TRUE. The 51st FIW checks are now painted on, and the 'squadron color' zap is a ficitonal white stripe above the checkerboard. Pilot names decals have been moved slightly forward. Also, the 54th is now a Fighter Interceptor Squadron, not a Fighter Interceptor Wing (even though the sign in the movie shows it as a Wing).
       
      Enjoy!

    21. 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!
