Modern Era (4Gen+) Aircraft Skins

As requested http://combatace.com/topic/68858-usmc-to-buy-uk-harriers/page__pid__535106?do=findComment&comment=535106
 
Edit of USMC VMA513 skin from the AV-8B+ Harrier II to fit the SF2 Harrier GR.7 since the USMC has announced it is buying the retired UK Harrier fleet.
 
Credit goes to those who did the original Harriers and those who helped update them for SF2:
 
Bobrock
Brian32
Dave
 
Instillation:
 
Simply drop into your SF2 mods folder and it should end up in the right place.
I have included the decals from the SF2 AV-8B+ but you will need the SF2 GR.7 for this to work.

Have fun,
 

 
Dan.
 
P.s. you might want to add "USN,USMC" to the 'AttachmentType=' statements of the weapon stations in the 'HarrierGr7_DATA.ini' file to make use of US weapons etc

Ethiopian AF Su-27 Flanker Skin Pak 2/10/2011
 
= For SF2, Any and All =
 
A new skin/decal pak for the Marcfighters Su-27, representing EtAF Flankers from the late 1990s to the present.
 
A new "Userlist.ini" is included (may not be fully accurate, and changes/updates are welcomed!), as well as slightly tweeked data, avionics and cockpit inis (made some general fixes in regards to things not working/missing/fitting quite right). Weapons are NOT included, so you'll need the GunnyPak or some other full WeaponsPak for SF2. You also =MUST= have the Su-27 in your game install (doh!) to install this pak to.
 
These skins have been partly repainted (with redrawn panel and rivet lines) in several areas to remove the painted-on markings creating a 'blank' canvas to allow for the use of decals for ALL markings. The side effect of that, is other countries can easily be created by simple edits of the decals ini. On this version, as stated above, ALL the markings used here are decals. Serial numbers are 'best guess' based on the limited information (both text and photographic) available.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
 
Happy Landings!

Eritrean AF MiG-29 Fulcrum-C Skin Pak
 
= For SF2, Any and All =
 
A new skin/decal pak for the TMFs MiG-29C, representing ErAF Fulcrums from the late 1990s to the present.
 
Inis tweeks were made to the data, loadout inis. You'll want to back up your original before installing this pack.
A new "Userlist.ini" is included (may not be fully accurate, and changes/updates are welcomed!). Weapons are =NOT= included, so you'll need the GunnyPak or some other full WeaponsPak for SF2. You also =MUST= have TMF's MiG-29C in your game install (doh!) to install this pak to.
 
These skins have been partly repainted (with redrawn panel and rivet lines) in several areas to remove the painted-on markings, creating a 'blank' canvas to allow for the use of decals for ALL markings. The side effect of that, is other countries can easily be created by simple edits of the decals ini. On this version, as stated above, ALL the markings used here are decals. Serial numbers are 'best guess' based on the limited information (both text and photographic) available. In actuality, the ErAF only has 7 MiG-29s; I've cheated and extraploated numbers for 12 aircraft. So, it's not 100% historically accurate.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included.
Please read them after unzipping, and before installation!!!
 
Happy Landings!

This is a comprehensive collection of skins for the JASDF F-15J (as featured the SF2 F-15 super pack here). Eight different real-life squadrons are featured, each with authentic squadron patches and serial numbers, bringing this aircraft model up to the same level of fidelity as the American versions. (The existing aggressor skins look cool, certainly, but they are not representative of front-line aircraft.)
 
These skins are also compatible with the modernized F-15J Kai model (F-15J_97), so if you use both, just drag and drop the texture folders into either or both aircraft as you like.
Decals, texture modifications, hangar screen and loading photographs by Nengajou Aki. Packaged and uploaded by WhiteBoySamurai. The author has given permission to include these skins in freeware mods and future F-15 package updates.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
Thank you for downloading the Mid- and Low-vis generic skin pack and the corrective decal pack for the Thirdwire F-14A and F-14A_77.for the Thirdwire Productions F-14A_77. This pack was made to provide low and medium visibility markings for all squadrons on the stock squadron list.
 
These decals would not be possible without TK and Thirdwire for creating SF2:NA and in some cases providing some of the artwork here than has been modified to suit the demands of this pack.
 
Further recognition goes to SuperScale International, Fightertown, Aeromaster, Eagle Strike, FCM, Afterburner, and Custom Aeronautical Miniatures for producing model decals that made good reference material, and to Torsten Anft, Peter Davies, Lou Drendel, Paul Gilchrist, Dave Brown, and many others for their published works and photographs.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
Requirements: Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic.
 
 
Installation:
 
1: drop the Objects folder into your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder.
 
2: Enjoy how you will.
 
 
Known Issues:
 
1: VF-111 is missing the shark mouth.
A: Without the .out file to determine what the meshname for the nose is, I have decided to exclude this decal for the time being. I will add it once the .out is available.
 
 
2: The squadron markings don't look any different from one skin to the next.
A: In many cases, squadron markings didn't change for years. Some squadrons went from high-vis to early low-vis with drastic changes while others never altered their tail art. Some of these squadrons came along after the high-vis period was over and didn't so much as change Air Wings for an entire decade or more. If you see a repeat in squadron decals, that's because that's just how it was.

Thank you for downloading the corrective decal pack for the Thirdwire F-14A and F-14A_77. This pack was made to correct inaccurate or missing decals for the US Navy F-14 squadrons included in Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic.
 
These decals would not be possible without TK and Thirdwire for creating SF2:NA and in some cases providing some of the artwork here than has been modified to suit the demands of this pack.

Requirements: Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic.
 
 
Installation:
 
1: drop the Objects folder into your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder. Allow to overwrite as neccessary.
 
2: Enjoy how you will.
 
 
Known Issues:
 
1: VF-1 and VF-111 are still missing decals.
A: I know. VF-1 is missing it's fuselage stripe and VF-111 does not have the shark mouth. The VF-1 stripe runs along the forward fuselage and passes through a modex number that is placed noticably lower that the modex in other squadrons. This would have negated the generic qualities of these skins. The VF-111 shark mouth on the nose would require adding a new decal data bloc and experimenting with placement. I may yet add this decal later should modders be given access to the .out files with future patches.
 
1a: Squadron X is still missing decal Y.
A: Probably because they didn't have it during the time period modeled. VF-11 for example didn't have their squadron number on the ventral fins in the early 80's. They had it on the tail, and it's already present in the existing artwork.
 
 
2: A lot of these look like the decals I had already.
A: Yes. That just means that there wasn't any problem with the original decal.

For the F/A-8F, this is one of the aircraft shown by VX-9 during the Century of Naval Aviation ceremony.

In 24/02/2012 Polish Defence Minister issued a decree to change the use of marks on the aircraft nationality PAF.
This Decree amends the place of characters belonging to the:
-Top of Wings
-Bottom of Wings
 
-outboard side of tails
 
for use with MiG-29 PL from Mirage Factory
 
 

This skin represents the new VFA-11 CAG bird
 
Just drop in your FA-18F folder and go fly.

Royal Norwegian Air Force TW F-16A Skin
 
Requires Strike Fighters 2 Israel!!
 
This is my attemtpt at the RNoAF F-16A.
It contains two overall grey skin sets & decals for the 331st 332nd Squadrons.
It’s not perfect so feel free to make any suggestions or make any changes.
 
Recommended for use with the Updated F-16A Block 10 1.1 pack or one of the earlier packages for the TW F-16A in the downloads section though it is possible to just drop the skin folders in you F-16A_Netz folder.
 
Instalation:
 
Drop the skins folder in your F-16A folder & place the decals folder in the in your Objects/Decals folder.
 
Add the following to your F-16A USERLIST:
 
[Norway]

ServiceEndYear=2020

Hope you enjoy

Egyptian Air Force TW F-16A Skins
 
Requires Strike Fighters 2 Israel!!
 
This is my attempt at the EAF F-16A.
It contains the later well known high-viz grey scheme that gives some of the Egyptian aircraft their unique flavor & the overall standard Egyptian grey scheme.
 
I could only find a handful of reference photos of the early A & B models so feel free to make any suggestions or any changes.
 
It is possible to just drop the skins directly in to your F-16A_Netz folder but I recommend you use them with the Updated F-16A Block 10 1.1 pack or similar TW F-16A packages in the downloads section.
 
 
Installation:
 
Drop the skins folder in your F-16A or what ever you have called your TW F-16.
Place the decals folder in the in your Objects/Decals folder.
 
Add the following to your F-16A USERLIST:
 
[Egypt]
ServiceStartYear=1982
ServiceEndYear=2020
Availability=COMMON
 
 
Hope you enjoy

PAF F-16C Blk50/52 for SF2
 
This pack represents the F-16s of the PAF which are of the Blk50/52 standard.Some of these aircraft were new built airframes which were bought from the USA.The rest of the PAF's fleet of Vipers was upgraded and overhauled by the TAI(Turkish Air Industries).
 
This mod represents the following airframes:
Ac no.10803
Ac no.83703(Upgraded by TAI)
Ac no.85722
AC no.85728
Ac no.10905(Newly bought)
 
These textures will work with all of The Viper Team's F-16 models.But,they are specifically meant to be used with their Blk50/52 package.The skin in the folder named 'No.5 Falcons CFT' is meant to be used with the Single seat CFT(Conformal fuel Tanks) model.These skins were newly built and have nothing to do with my old F-16A Skin pack.In other words,If you are using these skins,UNINSTALL MY PREVIOUS PACK!These skins represent the following improvements:
 
-Corrected camo pattern
 
-Panel lines now clearly visible
 
-Real Aircraft serial numbers and Squadron Tails
 
Installation:
After unzipping,place the folders inside the 'skins' folder,into your desired F-16C aircraft folder(The folder present inside your Aircrafts folder).You must know at least know about the SF2 mods folder.
Note:If you do not know anything about the mod folder,the immediately stop the installation,go to the COmbatACE Forums,Go to the Strike Fighters 2 Knowledge Base and take a look at the thread explaining the Strike Fighters 2 mod folder mechanism.
 
IMPORTANT:
I HEREBY CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF THE CHANGES THIS MOD MAY RENDER TO YOUR GAME(Even though it doesn't).IF THIS MOD IS INSTALLED,THEN IT IS DONE ONLY BY THE WILL OF THE USER AND I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS.INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK.(The mod is perfectly safe,but I still claim no responsibility just to be safe!)

F-14A VF-41 "Black Aces" Skins Mid-Late 70's, 80's and 90's by Spectre[8750]
 
For use with TMF F-14A_74, F-14A_82 and F-14A_96 skin sets for SF2.
Templates and base skins by Column5 and EricJ.
 
==============
The F-14A_74\VF41AJ76 skin will be over written with an updated time period
 
skin. Dave's VF41AJ76 skin is already in the F-14 Super Pack under
 
F-14A_82\VF41AJ76 and the Texture.ini should have a StartDefaultDate=1982.
 
however the F-14A_96\VF41AJ76 skin no longer needs to be there since the
 
skins have been included and replace it with up to date skins.
 
I've included the F-14A_96\VF14AJ00 "F-14A-005.BMP" file which will over
write the the existing incorrect file missing the new landing gear textures.
 
==============
To install:
 
Drop the "Objects" folder into any SF2 install with TMF F-14 Super Pack.:
 
X:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2???\
 
Let it overwrite if asked.
 
Delete the F-14A_96\VF41AJ76 skin no longer needed and would interfere
with the replacement skin dates.
 
Then go inflict some damage.
 
Hope you Enjoy
