A-4C (65) Skyhawk, VA-153 'Blue Tail Flies' Vietnam 1966 Skinpack by Nyghtfall v1.0
===================================================================================
 
*** SF2V required for A-4C_65-model, tested in full 5-merged installation ***
 
The skin represents A-4Cs from VA-153 'Blue Tail Flies' in 1966 aboard the carrier USS Constellation in Vietnam.
BuNo and Modex should be correct for this squadron, with 302 and 307 filled with Numbers that are correct for the squadron, but miss the modex.
According to my sources, modexnumbers 300, 308 and 309 are not used, so in this pack you'll find 301-307 and 311-316.
 
Some highlights on this skinpack are:
- new Baseskin
- new Decals for nearly everything :)
- optional 'Griffin'-Decal as used on planes aboard USS Coral Sea (just change to commented parts at the end of decals.ini, to have it visible)
- updated data.ini is included, which contains the working canopy (SHIFT+0) and landing light (thanks to Wrench).
 
Installation
============
1. unzip to a temporary folder
2. copy 'Objects'-folder from the zip to your mods 'Objects'-folder, if asked to overwrite, say 'yes'.
3. enjoy!

A-4E (65) Skyhawk, VA-164 'Ghost Riders' Vietnam 1967-1968 Skinpack by Nyghtfall v1.1
======================================================================================
 
*** SF2V required for A-4E_65-model, tested in full 5-merged installation ***
 
The skin represents A-4Es from VA-164 'Ghost Riders' between June 1967 and January 1968 aboard the carrier USS Oriskany in Vietnam.
All BuNo are correct for this squadron, but unfortunately I couldn't find the correct assignment for all modex to BuNo.
 
The plane number 406 (152048) is an early version of the well-known "Lady Jessie", named after Jessie Beck, an owner of a casino in Reno, Nevada by Richard Perry. As a young man, he worked in the casino, they befrieded and he later became her pseudo-adopted son, until he was commissioned in 1957. Part of the training took place at Fallon near Reno and she always took good care of him and his comrades with baskets of goodies. Even after R. Perry was assigned to VA-164, she took care of him and the entire squadron by sending care packages. At some point R. Perry painted "Lady Jessie" on one of the squadrons birds as hommage to Jessie Beck. In October 1967 R. Perry was shot down while on a raid over Haiphong, but Lady Jessie continued her care for the squadron and after that date it was common use to apply "Lady Jessie" on the 401 plane until the decommisioning of VA-164.
 
The interesting story well-written:

Strike fighters 2 series Turkish Stars ( TÜRK YILDIZLARI ) skin set.
Old and new vesion...
F-5B only...

This is an improved skin pack for the F3H-2 Demon. It does not contain the plane.
You need to download it first from the SF1 download section.
 
What's new? The lines and rivets are redrawn in 2048x2048, as well as most of the squadron specific art and markings.
I also modified the opacity a bit of the decals to make them more blend with the skins.
 
 
Installation:
 
1. If you haven't done so, first download and install the F3H-2 Demon add-on aircraft.
Get it here: http://combatace.com/files/file/5215-f3h-demon
 
2. Paste the skin folders from this pack in your Aircraft folder
Objects/Aircraft/F3H-2
 
3. Paste the decals into the Decals folder: Objects/Decals/F3H-2
 
PS: I also included the templates I made with all the artwork, weathering, etc.
In case anyone would like to create more skins.
In the Demon03 file you need to change the position of the Star and change the light colour to get the Demon04.

so this is a skin of the J-6 of Cambodian air force. it was used during the Khmer Rouge Period. it did ground attack missions against vietnam.
 
the skin is basically the Vietnamese silver skin with the fuselage national symbol removed. i also added a number which is the only number i cound find on the internet. you can see a grey box around the number, but i was more worried about the numbers becoming to faded. if you want you can increase the transparency.
 
just put the stuff into the proper folders. it should work if you have the J-6 in your game.
 
this mod does does make use of work from anybody else except the game.

Canadair Sabre Mk.6 AMI NM Skinpak 9/21/2014
 
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
 
This package is designed for use on the Sabre 6 Pak available at the following URL:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/13497-sf2-canadair-sabre-mk6-rcaf-and-ami/
 
You'll need to have the above listed aircraft to add this skin pak to.
 
This package contains 2 new skins, in Natural Metal ™, representing the following units as first delivered to the AMI:
 
2 Aerobrigata (8 Gruppo)
 
4 Aerobrigata (Cavallino Rampante)
 
Included are updated texture set inis for the 2 AMI Euro camo skins, adding the "Start Default Date" SF2 switch, that will (hopefully!) turn on the camo skins in 1959 (best guess date). They have also had the "displayed name" changed, so you'll see, for example, either
 
2 AeB (NM)
or
2 Aeb (Camo)
 
Making it easier to select.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
 
Happy Landings!

Hi pilot!
 
For your Cold War games I have remade (original was for SF1)
two skins representing 9aircraft of the Luftstreitkräfte (of the DDR);
a silver one (standard) and a camouflaged one. The serials are the
correct ones for the normal bomber version.
Note! The included camouflage skin was only applied on ONE
LSK Il-28, being number 208. Nonetheless I have included it
with ability to carry all numbers.
Drag and drop in your SF folder.... ready!
 
Hope you like it!

PS Thanks TW for an excellent Soviet dump truck!

Skin of a Tupolev Tu-22P Blinder-E of the 341st TBAD, Strategic Air Force.
Particular aircraft flew in this livery in Afghanistan between
October 1988 and January 1989.
 
This skin is meant for the standard TW Tu-22, although with a bit of renaming it
can easily be used for all variants except the swingwing Ms.
 
I hope this skin gives the boring silver Blinders a bit more oomph. Just drop the
objects folder in your standard SF2 folder.
 
Enjoy!
