SF2 WW2 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I No.1 Squadron, BoF, Skin Pak 5/14/2014
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*There is a distinct possibility that this mod will work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. However, due to some of the modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment (read: decal randomization), all the features will =NOT= be working as designed.*
A new skin for Raven's Hurrican Mk.1 (2-bladded Watts prop, fabric wings), representing No. 1 Squadron in early to mid-1940, but more for the Battle of France timeframe.
This skin is painted in the "half-and-half' Night/White wing undersides, with French style "rudder flash" RAF color bands, and "silver dope" remaining undersides. The skin maps remain in bmp format.
Also included is a modified textureset.ini for the original No.111 squadron skin, that adds the DefaultStartDate= tag (07/1940), adds decal randomization. The decals ini provided for 111 adds the Level 1 fake "SqTail" pointer to activate the Squadron name display. This is used on BOTH skins.
The new serial number decals ARE historically those for early Mk.1 Hurris, but should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent NO particular aircraft within a specific squadron.
This package ONLY contains the skins/decals (and the 111 Squadron inis). I've not included any of my usual "tweeks" to SF2-ize the aircraft. It's pretty perfect as is! (the only thing I changed was turning the Fuselage OFF in the data ini to eliminate the 'double cockpit' issue).
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
With Thanks To Raven for the bird!
Good Hunting!

Vought F4U-1 "Birdcage" Corsair Generic USMC Skin Pak (TMF/MM) 7/27/2013
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
= For WW2 PTO Usage ONLY on the TMF/MM Birdcage Corsair!!! =
This is a 'generic' USMC skin and decal pack for the TMF/MM F4U-1 "Birdcage" Corsair. The aircraft is finished in the late 1943 "3 Tone Camo", and has the 3 digit aircraft ID numbering. These numbers represent the last 3 digits of the BuNum, and was the fairly standard way land base USMC squadrons used on their aircraft. The aircraft carries the standard late 43 blue Star-and-Bar.
This skins is in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. Although 'named' for VMF124 (L for Late), it is designed to represent NO particular USMC squadron. It also used the SF2 'time switch' to "turn on" this skin in October, 1943.
A new Data ini is also provided, with changes/tweeks that 'fix' some issues caused by the 5/13 and 7/13 patches. With luck, they won't need messing with again!
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!

SF2 WW2 & Post-War Spitfire XIV Skin/Ini Pak 3/31/2014
-- Something for the WW2 ETO (and post war) players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*** DLC #29 REQUIRED for this Mod!!!! ***
A reskinning of the stock 3W DLC 29 Spit XIV (14), adds a WW2 skin, and 2 early
post-war RAF skins.
They are:
No 130 "Punjab" Squadron (as seen in the ETO in late 44-thru wars end)
No 60 Squadron (Malaya, 1946)
No 28 Squadron (as seen at Tengah, 1948)
The Squadron Crest for each is used as the 'paint chip' seen on the loading
screen.
Included are modified data and loadout, userlist & main inis. For you viewing
pleasure, a brand NEW SF2-style Hangar screen. The assumption (oh! that word!!)
is being made that you've already made the aircraft player flyable, so no
cockpit bits are included. However, my "One Click Restore Main Ini" (patent
pending) is.
No weapons (bombs and guns) are included, as all stock items are being used,
but a drip tank is.
The canopy has been activated via the Standard Animation Keystroke ,
Shift/0.
All markings are decals (excepting SEAC bands), and decal randomization is TRUE
(but is acting quite "oddly" for some reason).
*Please Note: if you have PauloPanz's EXCELLENT Spit 14 skin pak, you may want
to backup and compare his data ini to mine. You may also want to create a NEW
One Click Restore ini , after it automaticly adds his skins -- See notes
for changes.*
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are
included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.

SF2 WW2 ETO Short Stirling Tweeks Pak 3/26/2014
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
Some tweeks for Veltro2K's recently released Stirling Mk.I. What this pack does, is activate ALL the included Squadron Code decals by creating skin folders for those squadrons.
If you don't have it already, you can get the aircraft at the following link:
http://combatace.com/files/file/14668-short-stirling-mk1/
(in other words, install the aircraft 1st, THEN this Tweeks Pack)
As the decals and the ini in the above release are set up for the as-yet-to-be-released ETO All Inclusive mod by the DAT, we are missing the necessary files to create the selection drop down to choose which squadron gets what.
This mod creates new skin folders, albeit with the original skin maps (more on that later), and activates the squadron code decals for the following RAF Bomber Command units:
No. 7 Squadron
No. 15 Squadron
No. 75 "New Zealand" Squadron (original NCamo skin)
No. 90 Squadron
No. 149 "East India" Squadron
No. 214 "Federated Malay States" Squadron
No. 218 "Gold Coast" Squadron
The Squadron crest for each is used for the 'color patch' as seen on the Loadout Screen.
My (patent pending) "Box Art" Hangar and Loading screens are included, as are new DDS damage textures.
You will be moving (read: copy/paste) the original skin maps to the MAIN aircraft folder (ala Brain 32's trick). As all BC aircraft of the time were painted the same, this creates no issues.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them after unzipping, but BEFORE installing, and FOLLOW them exactly as I've written them!!!
Caveat:
BE ADVISED, THIS MOD IS =NOT= TO BE USED WHEN THE DAT RELEASES THEIR ETO PAK. IT IS DESIGNED FOR USE ONLY BY THOSE END USERS THAT CANNOT ACCESS THEIR DOWNLOADS. IT IS DESIGNED FOR USE IN A STANDARD OR "GARDEN VARIETY" WW2 ETO MODS FOLDER, =NOT= FOR THEIR ALL-INCLUSIVE MOD.
Happy Landings!!

SF2 WW2 RAF SEAC Douglas Dakota Skin Pak 3/20/2014
-- Something for the WW2 CBI players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged, + Expansion Pak 1 (REQUIRED!) =
*You must have SF2:I Exp Pak 1, as this mod REQUIRES the stock 3W C-47*
This pak contains Skin/Decal mods for the Stock 3rd Wire C-47A, representing RAF Dakota's in WW2, in the India/Burma (SEAC) theatre. None of my research has turned up an information if they were camoflagued, so the aircraft is in standard OD/Grey.
Supplied are 26 plane-in group letters and RAF serial number decals. The serials, while correct for the Dakota, represent no particular unit and should be considered 'generic' in nature. There are NO squadron codes.
Decal randomization is TRUE
Also supplied is an updated/edited/adjusted C-47A User list, with many corrected dates.
*NOTE: this skin pak is for RAF Daks in SEAC =ONLY=!!! Read: your CBI mods folder.*
This little mod comes about as I'm sick and tired of seeing Dakota's parked on my terrains, with incorrect WW2 theatre markings (while not perfect even WITH this, they're a LOT closer!)
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!

= For SF2, Full-5 Merged, + Expansion Pak 1 (REQUIRED!) =
*You must have SF2:I Exp Pak 1, as this mod REQUIRES the stock 3W C-47*
This pak contains Skin/Decal mods for the Stock 3rd Wire C-47A, representing
RAF Dakota's in WW2. This pak contains 2 skins:
RAF (Euro) -standard OD/Grey
RAF_D (Desert) - standard Day Desert
Supplied are 26 plane-in group letters and RAF serial number decals. The
serials, while correct for the Dakota, represent no particular unit and should
be considered 'generic' in nature. Both skins use a 'pool' of the letters and
serials. There are NO squadron codes.
Decal randomization is TRUE
Also supplied is an updated/edited/adjusted C-47A User list, with many
corrected dates.
End users are advised to choose which skin for what WW2 mods folder
they'll be using (Euro for the ETO, and Desert for the MTO, obviously!). Simply
rename the textureset ini for the skins NOT being used, and the Game Engine
will ignore it.
