Aircraft Skins

This is a VAQ-129 skin of the EA-6B.
 
DISCLAIMER:
 
The skin is not exact due to mainly texture mapping limitations of the SF2:NA Prowler, particularly around the intake area and nose area. I want to thank Wrench and HomeFries for supplying me with the necessary templates in order for me to make this happen.
 
That said, the skin is only for the TW Prowler, which comes with SF2:NA. Just drop the folder in the appropriate directory and it can be selected as "CoNA" for the AI if so configured. If you are using the EA-6B Super Pack by HomeFries then it would go in the EA-8B_98 folder (ICAP III) but can be used in any of the versions in that pack.

SF2:V A-1H Skyraider, 6st SOS, Plekeiu, MPPD Skin Remod Pak          1/22/2026

= For SF2:V (but can be used in all merged installs) =
*You =must= have SF2:V to have access to the stock 3rd Wire A-1H Skyraider. Please note, the cockpit is NOT included. You'll have to locate and install that yourself*
This pack contains a remod of a skin/decal set originally done by Mike "MPPD" Druzolowski for the Razbam A-1H Skyraider, for SFP1. It has now been adapted for use on the stock 3W A-1Hs. The skins are a reuse of the stock 3 tone SEA camo, in jpg format.
The Skin included herein is for
6th SOS
as seen in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam war, and based at Pleiku AB. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All serials and markings are 100% historically correct, as per MPPD.
I've included MPPD's original readme for historical purposes, as it has interesting information.
Once in game, on the Loadout Screen's "squadron selection" drop down, you see 
6th SOS, 633rd ACW
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. 
Please read the Notes section for other possibly useless information, and (hopefully) full credits. 
Please also take note of changes in the Standard Disclaimer in the "Legal BS" section at the bottom.

SPADS !!!
A-1J Skyraiders of the US Navy
Hi Rez skins 
To be used on the stock 3W SF2 A-1J Skyraiders
 
Continuing my series of Skyraider skins, these ones are for late mark Spads, of the US Navy.
Included are :-
VA-25 "Fist of the Fleet" 2 different skins from 2 consecutive cruises the first on USS Coral Sea, and the secon on USS Midway
VA-115 "Arabs" again 2 different skins, both on the same tour of duty on USS Kittyhawk, the second set are a rework of Wrench's original experimental camo scheme, again mine is not 100% accurate, but I think it conveys the general idea. Only 2 or 3 Airframes were actually painted in this scheme, but it was just easier to do all of the squadron in it, the scheme was an experiment, which was found to be non beneficial, and in fact a bit of a problem for deck crews whilst operating at night or in bad weather, so it was dropped , however it does look pretty cool, the aircraft had only very basic markings and I have tried to replicate this with these skins, the other set of  "ARABS" are in the standard Grey/White scheme.
VA-145 "Swordsmen" aboard USS Intrepid 
VA-152 "Friendlies" on the USS Oriskany and they were called the Friendlies at this time NOT the Black Aces, or the Fighting Aces, the Name is correct for the Time period, the Squadron I believe are now known as the Mavericks !!
As with all my previous uploads, everything you need is in the package ( obviously you need the aircraft in the first place hahahaha ) Again I will give the Gypsies warning about the Data.ini, make sure you DO use it , or you WILL have clipping issues !!!
I will also say, as mentioned my my friend Mr Wrench, these are not 100% completely new , shiny, you cant bend it, built from the ground up , skins, but rather total reworks of skins that are already available ( in most cases) Hopefully I have improved on previous and older ones, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed doing them for you all !!
 
All the usual shout outs ( you know who you are !! ) 
 
As always ENJOY !!!!

VNAF A-1 Skyraiders
Also known as "The Crazy Water Buffalo"
Hi Rez skins 
To be used on the stock 3W SF2 A-1H Skyraiders
 
My next set and final set for the A-1H/J Skyraiders, is the one I  just KNOW you have been waiting for in breathles anticipation !! Oh you giddy young things !! Yes these are the VNAF versions of the Skyraider. 
The contents are as follows :-
83 SOG 
514 FS
516 FS
518 FS
The 514 skins are just a rework of KULBIT80's skin and decal set, I have just updated the skins , the other 3 Squadrons are all new decal sets, and reworked skins, 514's skins are overall grey, 516 & 518 are pretty much standard USAF 3 tone over grey schemes with the usual over the top Vietnamese markings, SOOOOO TACTICAL !! The lack of tail markings on the 516th airframes is correct they just didnt 'ave 'em so there !! I have done the 518th skins as slightly earlier ones so I could do the snazzy white super tactical and camo friendly cowling bands, I have put anti glare panels on these skins even though in reality they didnt have them, but I thought the looked a bit odd like that so anti glare are us deal with it !! harharharhar finally the 83 SOG scheme.....I mean WOW...Really !! hyper tactical or what !! they do look we snazzy though eh chaps !! these aircraft carried no national markings except for the fin flashes, I know the reasons elude me too . 
Anyhow as with the previous skins I have done everything is all inclusive AT NO EXTRA CHARGE mind you !! 
All the usual shout outs to all and sundry, youre all groovy froods and you rock !!
 
Now what are you waiting for, get into your Spad and go kick some Commie bottom !!! and of course, as always ENJOY !!! 
 

SPADS , HOBO'S & ZORRO'S 
Also known as the A-1/AD-6 Skyraider
 
For the stock 3rd Wire SF2:V A-1H Skyraider
 
Continuing on from my previous uploads and reworks of USN and USMC Skyraiders, I present to you, for your delectation, and enjoyment the next in my rework of our beloved mud moving , snarling, piston powered , and rather handsome USAF Versions , I have made 3 Camouflage versions of the Aircraft from the 1st SOS, 22nd SOS, and 602st SOS of the 56th Special Operations Wing .
22 SOS is in the Zorro scheme of Camo over Nite, I am aware that not all the aircraft in the Squadron were painted this way, however rather than making a split squadron, the whole load of 'em are nite unders, if ya don't like it....well tough !!  1 SOS is done in the more usual "day" scheme, but is very dirty drab and scratched up, whilst 602's airframes are reasonably clean ( for a skyraider) And a slightly lighter colour tone with the more usual Light Grey unders.
I have tried to get the numbers and nose art matched up on the different squadrons airframes, and yes I am aware that some of the pilots flew on different squadrons and took their aircraft's name with them, so some of the ones I have portrayed, may appear with different tail codes etc, depending on your sources.
I have pretty much reworked the camo schemes from scratch, and I hope that these beautiful aircraft meet your approval .
Everything you need is in the package decals, sounds, pilots , weapons etc. etc. etc. also the Data.ini for the aircraft.........Be advised, you MUST use this Data.ini with these aircraft, firstly because I have enabled the Chaff dispensers, and secondly, it kills off the clipping issue that started me off on this project in the first instance................YOU HAVE BEEN INFORMED AND WARNED!!
That I think covers it, all the usual shout outs to Wrench and Nyghtfall for their Templates, which are instrumental in these 'ere skins And to anyone else who had anything to do with the original , aircraft, cockpits, and any other stuff that I have to be politically correct about .
Please feel free to leave feedback ( it is much appreciated) also if you find any glitches that may have slipped by my (cough) quality control (cough) department, please give me a shout so I can attempt to fix it.
 
Get out there, move some mud, scare the bejesus out of the baddies in Injun country, and above all ENJOY !!!

F-4D (78) USAF, North Dakota Air National Guard Skin and Decal Pak
= For SF2 (Full-4 Merged Recommended)
 
*Note: can be used in any install with access to the F-4D_78*
 
Slight modifications to a 1stGen skin pak done by "Chris" in 2005, brings it to SF2.
 
This skin represents the 178th FIS, 119th FIG North Dakota Air National Guard, aks "The Happy Hooligans". All decals used herein are from this original pak. The skins are stock, with a new-made _5.bmp to add the painted on fin stripe
 
Other mods included are the data and userlist inis, with corrected 'end-of-service-dates', as many ANG units seem to have used the D until the early 1990s. Also, the canopy has been activated via the usual manual animation key (shift/0). Couldn't pass that one up!
 
For grins and giggles, jpg copies of the skin maps are included .. in case someone wants to save HD space.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! The original 2005 readme is included. Any mistakes/errors are all mine.
 
Happy Landings!!

ps: having placed their home base on the terrain I working on, couldn't resist having more Hooligans!

F-4E (78) USAF Indiana Air National Guard Skin and Decal Pak
 
= For SF2 (Full-4 Merged Reccomended)
 
*Note: can be used in any install with access to the F-4E_78*
 
Slight modifications to a 1stGen skin pak done by Joe "DrDoyo" Royal in 2007, to bring it to SF2. This is my way of saying "Thank You". And remembering and honoring one of our own.
 
This skin is the "Egypt1" 2-tone gray camo from his 3-skin pak. I chose this one, as more aircraft (according to his notes) were in this pattern than the others.
 
The skin has had some very small tweeks, to fill in some bits, and is renamed to fit the _78 model Phantom. I made the assumption (oh! that word!) these would have been the variant he worked on in the Indiana ANG. If I'm wrong, my extensive apologies! With a simple rename of the skin bmps, it can be used for any/all F-4E variants.
 
All decals were done by DrDoyo, and reflect 100% accuracy for the aircraft depicted.
Randomization is set the "TRUE" for the 25 tail numbers (it might even work!).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! DrDoyo's original readme is included, as it has nice personal historical notes. Any mistakes/errors are all mine.
 
Happy Landings!!

1st SOS skin & markings for the stock A1-H for SF2V (Strike Fighters Vietnam).
 
A little enhancement to give the stock A-1H a little more street cred !
 
Oh, it includes a modified ini's to make it flyable and has an opening canopy (if you haven't done so already ;) all you'll need is a 3rd party cockpit if you haven't got one.
 
Or you could just use it as AI...
 
The decals are by originally by mppd (thanks Mike !) all I've done is place them on here and also touched up the stock skin.
 
Be sure to check out column5's SFV2 enhancements and tweaks thread over at the at CA forums as it includes a more accurate loadout.
 
Oops, the readme says ctrl+9 opens the canopy, it should read shift+9. Sorry !

@ paulopanz

Just a quick errata sheet for the USMC Skyraider skins I released last month, I just noticed a glaring error, ie I had misnumbered the decals in the decal.ini on 3 of the skins I uploaded that is for VMA212 - 251 - 333 causing the tail numbers to be errr rather truncated on the right side of the fin.....ooops !! 
So, here are the 3 corrected decal.ini's for the relevant skins, just rename them ie just delete the names I have put on them for reference, and rename EACH one "Decals" and drop them into the relevant skin folder and allow it to over write the existing decal.ini file if you didnt delete it first of course, oh yes, I had also forgotten to enable the prop decals on those 3 skins so that has been rectified as well.
Totally my bad here, I shall be having strong words with my quality control department , apologies for the error , silly me !!
