    1. SF2 A-6A Intruder, VA-42 & VA-128 Skin/Decals Pack 

       
      SF2 A-6A Intruder, VA-42 & VA-128 Skin/Decals Pack              2/12/2018
      = For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
      *Can be used in any install that has access to the stock 3W A-6A*
      2 new skins for the 3W A-6A Intruder that depict VA-42 "Green Pawns" and VA-128 "Golden Intruders". Be advised that these are =NOT= combat squadrons, but the Fleet Replacement Squadrons, responsible for training pilots and bombardier/navigators for all Intruder squadrons. VA-42 recieved the very first Intruder in June, 1963. VA-128 recieved theirs in September, 1967. These 2 squadron represent the East Coast (VA-42, NAS Oceana) and West Coast (VA-128, NAS Whidbey Island) training units.
      All markings are decals (excepting squadron color flash on tail fins), almost all made new for this mod (excepting the Pawn on VA-42, reused and modified from the original), and decal randomization is TRUE*.  
      All serial (BuAerNums) are 100% historical for the A-6A, but should be considered "generic" as they do not depict actual aircraft from this unit. BuNum decalss are the same ones as supplied with another recent upload. Just allow the "Overwrite?" when asked during installing. 
      The aircraft is finished in the standard Grey/White scheme, with full color markings. The skin is in stock jpg format.
      On the Loadout Screen, for skin selection you'll see:
      VA-42 Green Pawns (FRS-ATL) 
      VA-128 Golden Intruders (FRS-PAC) 
      Please note, =NOTHING= is included that makes the aircraft flyable; no inis, cockpit parts, nothing . You should have made it flyable already or need to seek the "parts" on your own. Also, if you have made it flyable, and use the "Read Only" trick on the main ini (A-6A.ini) to stop reversion to AI-only, you'll have to un-read only it to add this skin.
      As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... 
      Happy Landings!

      *Be advised of while testing, for some reasons, when selecting these skins, the Modex almost always went to the last number*

    4. SF2 A-6A Intruder, VA-95 Skin/Decals Pack 

      SF2 A-6A Intruder, VA-95 Skin/Decals Pack              2/6/2018
      = For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
      *Can be used in any install that has access to the A-6A*
      A new skin for the 3W A-6A Intruder that depicts VA-95 "Green Lizards" during 1974-74 embarked aboard USS CORAL SEA during the Vietnam War.
      Almost all markings are decals (excepting squadron color flash on tail fin), most made new for this mod, and decal randomization is TRUE*.  All serial (BuAerNums) are 100% historical for the A-6A, but should be considered "generic" as they do not depict actual aircraft from this unit. Also, this is the very first CAG skin I've ever done (so be kind). 
      The aircraft is finished in the standard Grey/White scheme, with full color markings. The skin is in stock jpg format.
      On the Loadout Screen, for skin selection you'll see:
      VA-95 Green Lizards (73-74)
      As the Green Lizards are also a stock squadron, using this skin for campaigns should be a fairly easy edit.
      Please note, =NOTHING= is included that makes the aircraft flyable; no inis, cockpit parts, nothing . You should have made it flyable already or need to seek the "parts" on your own. Also, if you have made it flyable, and use the "Read Only" trick on the main ini (A-6A.ini), you'll have to un-read only it to add this skin.
      As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....

    5. SF2 A-6E Intruder, VA-196 Skin/Decals Pack 

      SF2 A-6E Intruder, VA-196 Skin/Decals Pack              2/1/2018
      = For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Preferred) =
      *Can be used in any install that has access to the A-6E*
      A new skin for the 3W A-6E Intruder that depicts VA-196 "Main Battery" during 1980 when embarked aboard USS CORAL SEA (also possibly at Gonzo Station, but I haven't confirmed this).
      Almost all markings are decals, most made new for this mod, and decal randomization is TRUE. All serial (BuAerNums) are 100% historical in nature. Unfortunately, I could not match all to their Modex number. On the Number display dropdown, those marked with a star (*) are correctly matched. But all are aircraft that served in VA-196 at one time or another. The Default Start Date switch isused on this skin, so in 1980, you should see only this one. The aircraft is finished in the standard Grey/White scheme, with full color markings. The skin is in jpg format.
      On the Loadout Screen, for skin selection you'll see:
      VA-196 Main Battery (1980)
      Please note, NOTHING is included that makes the aircraft flyable; no inis, cockpit parts (I use the Razbam payware pit on my A-6E & A-6E TRAMs). You should have made them flyable or need to seek the "parts" on your own. Also, if you have made it flyable, and use the "Read Only" trick on the main ini (A-6E.ini), you'll have to un-read only it to add this skin.

    6. KC-135 Skin Pack 1: Operation Desert Storm

       
      This skinpack adds in historical aircraft as used in Desert Storm for the A, E and R models KC-135. It is as close as possible with unit markings and features several nose arts.
          Included
      Skins and decals for KC-135A/E/R models
      Cockpit and ini edits to make player flyable

          Required
      you will need the original KC-135 pack available here
       
          Installation
      download and install the above mod per its instructions
      unzip this mod, then install new mod folder categories to your mod folder (Aircraft to aircraft etc)
      allow overwrites
      fire up game, take off and go pass gas
          KNOWN ISSUES
      This was originally an AI only aircraft. I added Dels C-130 pit so that it was flyable and I could check my work. That said, it is best to not fly from the cockpit as the Hercules' window frames don't match with the Stratotanker's windows.
         UNIQUE FEATURES
      As with most of my large aircraft mods, the skins are tga based. this means if you look for a Baby Shamu skin, you will only see a plain grey skin. When you fire it up in game, you will see a mix of ADC Grey and Baby Shamu.
      AT THE START OF EACH SERIAL NUMBER IN THE DROP DOWN IS A LETTER, (a) FOR ADC Grey WITH FULL COLOR AND (s) FOR THE CAMO'D Baby Shamu SCHEME WITH SUBDUED MARKINGS
      Credits
      BPAO- original model
      Dave- head of/released original project
      dels- C-130 cockpit, used to make each aircraft player flyable
      daddyairplanes- research, 90% tgas, ini work, touch up skin work
      yakarov79- skin templates, some tgas (saved me a chunk of time photographing from a book so again thank you!)
      Testing Crew

      Big Thanks to

    7. SF2NA A-6E TRAM VA-176 Skin/Decal Pak

      SF2NA A-6E TRAM VA-176 Skin/Decal Pak                  1/24/2018
      = For SF2NA (Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
      * Designed for SF2:NA, but can be used in any install (full 5 merged) that has access to the A-6E TRAM Intruder (aka: A-6E_79) *
      This package contains 1 new skin in lo-viz TPS for the A-6E TRAM Intruder, that comes with SF2:NA. This package represents:
      VA-176 "Thunderbolts" embarked aboard USS INDEPENDENCE with the 6th Fleet (Med)
      The skin maps are in jpg format. Decal randomization has been set to "TRUE". 25 new Modex and serial numbers (BuNums) have been created for this mod. BuNums, while correct for the A-6E, should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they do not represent any specific aircraft within any given squadron. All markings are decals. However, it should be noted nothing to make this AI plane flyable is included. Other mods provide the necessary instructions and "parts".
      As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... 
      Good Hunting!

    11. SF2 F-4B Phantom (Mytai) CVW-9 Skin/Decal Pak  

      SF2 F-4B Phantom (Mytai) CVW-9 Skin/Decal Pak                  12/24/2017
      = For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) and/or SF2:V =
      *Can be used in any install that has access to the F-4B & F-4B_67, which is stock in all merged installs, excepting SF2:I (well, actually it's probably there as well!). The 1968 VF-92 & 96 skins are particularly designed for use in SF2:V, as they represent the squadrons during one of their Southeast Asia cruises*
      This package contains 3 revamped & updated skins, now for SF2, originally created by Mytai01 in 2005(ish) for SF1. This skins are:
      F-4B:
      VF-96 Fighting Falcons (1964) embarked aboard USS RANGER
      F-4B_67:
      VF-92 Silverkings (1968)
      VF-96 Fighting Falcons (1968), both embarked aboard USS ENTERPRISE during the Vietnam War
      All 3 skins are new builds, from Sundowner's excellent template. The skins are in jpg format. Almost all decals from the original Mytai pack have been reused, with some modifications on the Modex number decals.
      Decal randomization has been set to "TRUE". Included are the data and loadout inis for both aircraft, with some small changes in the loadouts. The data inis now incorporate manually operating (meaning: you, the player can now) wingfold and canopy operation. Both use the Standard Animations Keystrokes (tm), Shift/9 for wings and Shift/0 (zero) for the canopy. 
      Also included, is all of Mytai's original research material that came with the 1stGen Package. This inlcudes photos and other text files.
      As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....

    14. Kurnass Early Skin Pack

      Kurnass_Early F-4E TW For SF2I Credits:
      -----------------------------
      Kurnass HiRes Skin by NeverEnough
      Hangar and Loading Screen by NeverEnough
      F-4E Template by Sundowner
      Mk7 Ejection Seat by ravenclaw_007
      IsAF50s Pilot by Diego
      Improved Afterburner Effects by Spillone104
      Installation:
      ------------------------------
      These skins are for the TW Kurnass included in StrikeFighters2 Israel. Simply extract the contents of the Kurnass_Early.zip to your desktop or a temporary folder.  Then copy/paste the Effects and Objects folder into your Mods\StrikeFighters2 Israel folder.  If asked to "OVERWRITE" or "Replace The Files In The Destination", click yes.
      Shift 0 will open and close the canopy. Israel had first expressed an interest in acquiring the Phantom in 1965, but the U.S. was not yet willing to sell the fighter to Israel. In December 1968 the "Peace Echo" deal was signed for the provision of 44 F-4Es and 6 RF-4Es to the IAF, and on Friday, September 5th, the first Israeli Phantoms landed at Hazor AFB. The four planes, wearing an IAF color scheme but still carrying their American markings, joined the new 201st "Ha'ahat" (The One) squadron, commanded by Shmuel Hetz. Delieveries continued at a rate of 4 a month and on October 23rd the 69th "Patishim" (Hammers) squadron was reformed at Ramat-David, headed by Avihu Ben-Nun. The type entered service as the "Kurnass" (Sledgehammer), the last aircraft arriving in May 1971.  The skins are for the The One (201st) and Hammers (69th) squadrons. Thank Sundowner for the insanely detailed templates, and ravenclaw_007 for the droptank details and the two sharks mouths.  The artistry and craftmenship in their contributions to our community never ceases to amaze me.
      To ensure you realize the whole nine yards, be sure to add the ravenclaw_007 Weapon Packs to your install! I hope you enjoy!

    18. 333rd TFS F100A/C/D Skin

      This is a skin for the 333rd TFS, which flew F100s from 1957 to 1960. Drop the the files into your objects folder and enjoy.
      This is my first skin. The tail decals are stock while the nose decals were created by me. Feel free to leave a review. I am interested in making more skins for the F-100 so I am curious what everyone thinks of this skin.
      Thanks to Thirdwire for creating the stock tail decals. 
      Enjoy,

    19. SF2 MLD PV-2 Harpoon Skin Set

      SF2 MLD PV-2 Harpoon Skin Pack        9/5/2017 
      = For SF2 (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED) =
      This package contains a new skin for Veltro2k's Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon naval patrol bomber. This
      skin/decal set represents the 18 as used by the Royal Netherlands Naval Air Service
      (Marineluchtvaartdienst) or MLD.
      The MLD recieved 18 Harpoon in 1950, and were used in the Martime Recon, and Search & Rescue
      until their replacement by P2V Neptunes in the early 1960s.
       
      The skin is in jpg format, in overall "Dark Gloss Navy Blue" finish. All markings are decals,
      and decal randomization is TRUE. Displayed serial numbers are 100% historically correct for the
      aircraft depicted, as used by the MLD.
      Also included is the updated (and a backup copy) of the data ini for those that have not updated
      their WW2 versions. If you've done so, you need not install these 2 files (they're the same as
      in the update pack, so no harm will come if you do).
      You will still need the aircraft itself, available at the following URL:
      https://combatace.com/files/file/15018-ww2-pto-pv-2-harpoon-package/
      As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest of
      the readme for the install instructions.
      *Please note, that even though the aircraft is WW2 vintage, THIS use is Cold War, which is why
      it's been placed here*

      Happy Landings!

    21. Desert Storm Skins for Dels new C-130

      Operation Desert Storm Skin pack for C-130E/H
       
      This set creates skins for Dels new C-130s and incorporates historical nose art for the E model,
      and historical serials and unit markings for both models. Due to lack of images, no nose arts are provided
      for the H models. It is intended for use in the ODS campaign, or use it on your own.
       
      Included:
      C-130E_SKE - ODS skin, several historical nose arts, new hangar and loading screens, minor ini edits
      C-130H3 - ODS skin, new hangar and loading screens, minor ini edits
       
      Installation instructions
      1st in either event
      Get Dels C-130 Pack located here http://combatace.com/files/file/16427-c-130-hercules-superpack/
       
      Normal install
      unzip, allow overwrites (should be minimal), go fly
       
      ODS install
      go into your aircraft folder and delete the C-130E and C-130H aircraft
      you may also want to go into the Decal folder to delete the C-130E and C-130H folders to save space, but it not necessary
      unzip, allow overwrites (should be minimal), go fly
      THE ABOVE WILL PROVIDE THE BEST RESULTS. THE AIRCRAFT IN THE CURRENT VERSION OF ODS ARE THE OLDER MODELS, THIS IMPORTS THE NEWEST MODELS INTO THE MOD
       
      In Campaign: no edits are needed to put this aircraft into the current ODS or MOAB campaigns. However the old Herks
      originally included in the install should be deleted to make it more likely for the new Herks to appear in game. That
      and they are the older models with not accurate skin sets anyhow.

    22. MiG-21 Fishbeds Over Middle East/

      MiG-21 Fishbed Skin Set for F-13/FL/PF/PFM versions used in Middle East by Egypt,Syria,Iraq.
       
      Ive made several camo skin sets because i was bored of stock ones in Wings Over Israel. So this will bring some more colors to game. I think its around 17-18 skins. With some diferences so its not boring anymore..at least for me.
      Paints are mostly based on photos (usually poor quality).
       

      All skins are new made by me based on comrad's great template http://combatace.com...-21-mfsm-temps/
      I repainted few things and added few new (like on F skin).
      Pack includes only skins. There is no ini files, for decals etc. So it can be easly configured for your use. Just replace old ones or just create new folder fornew paint.
       

      Have fun

      in the 20th FS "Silver Lobos"
       
      Installation:
      - extract the contents of the 7z file to your prefered mod (Objects) folder.
       
      You must have Ravenclaw_007´s USAF F-4E (F-4E_72) pack installed,
      elsewise this mod does not work.
