Aircraft Skins

a set of skins for Yakarovs UH-1H Huey
included is a skin for:
a UH-1H Medevac unit of the 498th Medical Detachment
a RAAF UH-1H of 9th Squadron Vietnam
and a Generic South Vietnamese chopper used after 1973
more coming when i can be bothered to do some more research on this bird
installation is simple, drop the skin folders into your UH-1H folder and add their entries to the UH-1H.ini
and place the decals folder in your decals folder
thats it
Thanks to Yakarov, i borrowed the decals from his HH-1 to use on the Medavac unit
its another one of his models so i figured he wouldnt care

USAF KC-135 Skinpack 2: 1974 through 1987
This skin pack will feature skins for all USAF KC-135 users from 1974 until 1987. This includes the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves as the aircraft became available.
Requirements: any version of Strike Fighters 2, and the KC-135 mod found here
Installation:     
        first, get the Mirage Factory C-135A/B and KC-135A/E/R 1.0 from the above link (if you dont have it already)
        then unzip this to the mod folder, allowing overwrites.
        
Known Issues:
         this is meant as eye candy. unfortunately, SF2 doesnt support air to air refueling so the best to be done is set up a recon mission and then park it in an orbit.
        Also, Dels C-130 pit does not line up with the model very well. it is included mainly so that it can be player selected (i had to test it somehow).
        In the skins with ADC tgas, loading more than 8 aircraft on a mission will produce irregularities (like only the front half of the camo showing). So far I have not seen more than 8 on a ramp, and it is doubtful you need to load more than that in one area for a mission. Just be warned if you throw all 16 in at once.
        BTW, this thing is huge!!! over 3 1/2 GB size
So, Whats Included?:
    Skins with at least two examples from every USAF unit to fly the KC-135 from 1974 - 1987, with separate skins for Active Duty and reserve forces
    Colors represented include silver lacquer, ADC gray, and Shamu dark grey over medium grey.
    Skins from 1987 have a mix of Shamu and ADC grey colors as tga. Same skin, two different paint jobs
    Skins from 1983-1985 have a mix of ADC grey and silver lacquer colors. Skins from the 1970s are all silver lacquer and minimal tail markings
    Engines on the A models were adjusted to produce heavy smoke at max thrust. Burning water, just like the real thing.
    Drogue to simulate refueling probe equipped aircraft. Added in loadout screen

USAF KC-135 Skinpack 3: Late 1980s
This skin pack will feature skins for all USAF KC-135 users from the late 1980s. This includes the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves. Many of the skins serials and nose arts are the same as in ODS, which the aircraft would participate in a few years after this period. This also represents the era that the Shamu scheme became more common and that nose art made a comeback on USAF aircraft.
Requirements:
any version of Strike Fighters 2, and the KC-135 mod found here
 
Installation:     
        first, get the Mirage Factory C-135A/B and KC-135A/E/R 1.0 from the above link (if you dont have it already)
        then unzip this to the mod folder, allowing overwrites.

        BTW, this thing is big, coming in over 2 1/4 GB size
So, Whats Included?:
    Skins with at least two examples from every USAF unit to fly the KC-135 during the late 80s, with separate skins for Active Duty and
    reserve forces
    Colors represented include ADC gray, and Shamu dark grey over medium grey. Shamu is added as tga for a mix within each skin
    Engines on the A models were adjusted to produce heavy smoke at max thrust. Burning water, just like the real thing.
    Drogue add on to simulate refueling probe equipped aircraft. Added in loadout screen

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

SF2 WW2 PTO RAAF B-24J No.21 Squadron Skins/Decals Pak                   7/20/2018
 -- Something for the SWP PTO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
A new set skins for the B-24J Liberator by Veltro2K. It represents No.21 Squadron, RAAF as used in the Southwest Pacific Theatre of Operation from 1944 through the war's end.
The aircraft is in "natural metal" finish, and all markings are decals. On the individiual aircraft (plane-in-squadron) letter lising, those marked with a star (*) have their serial numbers matched to their aircraft letters. All other aircraft serials, while having served in 21 Squadron, could not be matched to their individual lettered aircraft. Decal randomization is TRUE
Also inclued are a new data ini, with adjusted hitboxes and various upgrades. The original, renamed for a back-up in included as well.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a glance
Good Hunting!

SF2 VF-51 F-4B & F-4N Phantom (Mytai) Skin/Decal Pak                  7/14/2018
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) and/or SF2:V + DLC 23 =
*Can be used in any install that has access to the F-4B_67 which is stock in all merged installs.  You =MUST= also have DLC #23, the 3rd Wire F-4N Phantom. 
This package contains 3 revamped & updated skins, now for SF2, originally created by Mytai01 in 2005(ish) for SF1. These skin represent VF-51 "Screaming Eagles" deployed to Southeast Asia during Vietnam War cruises. This skins are:
F-4B_67:
VF-51 (1971) embarked aboard USS CORAL SEA (NL code)
VF-51 (1973) -same as above
F-4N (DLC #23):
VF-51 (1974) -same as above

The differences are various paint schemes, and include both CAG and line birds. All 3 skins are new builds, from Sundowner's template. The skins are in jpg format. All decals from the original Mytai pack have been reused. The dates listed are for the deployment years. The SF2 "date switch" is =NOT= used on these skins.
When on the load out screen, on the skin selection widow, you'll see:
F-4B_67:
VF-51 Screaming Eagles 71 (Mytai)
VF-51 Screaming Eagles 73 (Mytai)
F-4N:
VF-51 Screaming Eagles 74 (Mytai)
As VF-51 is a stock, listed squadron, this will help diferentiate these from 'generic' 3W skins. It also honors Mytai for his work in creating them so long ago.
Decal randomization has been set to "TRUE". Included are "newish" data inis for both aircraft. 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, within each skin folder, are 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 .... 
Remember!! You must have DLC #23 to gain access to the F-4N!!
Happy Landings!

Best regards, bazillius.

Here are the templates for the T-45A for anyone who wants to improve on what I did...Have Fun.
Regards, Pappy

This is a replacement for the T-45A Goshawk skins that have been around for nearly 10 years. I felt they needed to be updates. These skins have
flaws that are inherent to this aircraft, so I apologize. Other than that, I hope you guys enjoy...
Regard, Pappy
 
Any questions or concerns can be sent to me here...

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 !!   

After a few request i had, i went ahead to release the blank templates i have done.
3 folders :
1) All white, no black parts, no prop line
2) All white, black parts, no prop line
3) All white, black parts, prop line.
 
So have fun if you wish :)

This is another rework of the available A-1H  Skyraider skins, this time for USMC A-1's same details as the previous upload for the USN versions. 3 of which are generic USMC airframes, the bu numbers etc are also generic as not many A1's were in use with the Marines in Vietnam as most of the squadrons had re equipped with A4's by then.
 
included are 
VMA 212 generic
VMA 225
VMA 251 generic
VMA 331
VMA 333
the reworked data.ini to stop the clipping issue
Decals
All the Sounds needed
weapons 
Pilot ( a different one from the USN one )
lo res screens if you need them
as with the previous skins I have re-enabled the wingfold system,and the canopy so the usual shift-9 for the wings and shift-0 for the canopy
 
Enjoy, fly safe, and give 'em hell.

This is a rework of the available A-1H  Skyraider skins, the project started when I noticed there was a clipping issue on the original user made skins, after the stock aircraft had been made flyable etc. being an OCD sufferer I couldn't live with it, so I had to comb the DATA.INI of the aircraft to find the issue, which I never didi, probably one number out of place , or something of that nature. So I re did the whole data file, using a frankenstien of a couple of the available ones, mainly Wrench's , so worry ye not good campers, very little has been altered, so the A/C still operates as Wrench intended, just NO CLIPPING !!! ................YAY !! RESULT !! HAPPY BLOODY DANCE !! ......
 
Anyhow, I then went on to re do all the skins, utilising the templates from bot Wrench, and Nyghtfall, so a mix and match of those as well, I hope you like and enjoy the results !!
Included are 
VA-35
VA-52 ( two versions, one dirty one clean , the clean one has new decals for the squadron markings made by me )
VA-65 (Early version )
VA-65 ( USS Enterprise )
VA-85
VA-105 ( A really shiny pristine skin ) 
VA-176 (USS Shangri La )
VA-176 (USS Intrepid)
the reworked data.ini to stop the clipping issue
Decals ( of course....no use without 'em as I have altered theDECAL.INI of all the skins , 'cos I like to make trouble harharhar )
All the Sounds needed
Finally the weapons ie drop tanks and the bog bomb, and the Pilot I myself use for this aircraft, oh yes and all the screens, both in hi res, and lo res if you need lo res screens for any reason. 
One final note, on the  VA-176 ( Intrepid ) skin, two of the aircraft have kill markings, I have put the entry to enable those in the DECAL.INI of that particular aircraft, however I have them disabled, as in reality the Bu Numbers of the skins and the Actual aircraft are not the same, and I couldnt be bothered to make the correct bu numbers for thos 2 particular aircraft, however if you do not have OCD, and you want the marking showing ( they are keyed to the correct nose numbers ) the just remove the hash marks in the DECAL.INI
[Decal019]
MeshName=Fuselage
DecalLevel=2
DecalFacing=LEFT
//FilenameFormat=A-1H/VA176a/D/kills    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< THAT THERE !!! 
Position=-0.70,0.70
Scale=0.55
DecalMaxLOD=3
Thats about it, please enjoy, and please leave feedback if you like...........................cheers !! 
 
OH yes, I forgot one last thing, I have re-enabled the wingfold system, , yes , yes I know its not perfect, as it leaves the stores hanging in a weightless environment, but hey ho, if ya dont like it, eith re disable it or , simply ignore it !! so canopy opens with SHIFT-0 and the wingfold is SHIFT-9.

2 Skins for Erikgen's Superb RF-101 Voodoo.
 
Please read the readme.

This is a set of Camouflages for Su-34
THIS IS ONLY TEXTURE SET and decals, There are no other files in this pack. This set is for persons who have this aircraft. I know that it is difficult to find this model last times. Do not ask me how to get it cuz I do not know. I got this aircraft many years ago and do not know its fate and why it is not available.
I tried to make the skins as accurate as possible. But some details missed because of the limitations of the model, some details i was too lazy to tune. As all old aircrafts, it has ugly UV map which is hard to use for texturing. Some early cammuflages can be not accurate too much to real aircraft for some details. There is a long "antiblick" strip over white nose on one photo, and the same aircraft has short strip before gray nose at another photo, one aircraft has "no step" dashes, anothe haven't it etc. Сoloration is often very different from year to year and sometimes from an aircraft to an aircraft from the same serie.
If you ask me why there is a chaos in a decal folder, the answer is that there is a chaos only for a first look ;) I used decals from NATO fighters pack and all decals on places which in that pack. I do not like doubles and i do like in my Mod folder. That is why decals not in one folder.
Skins was drawn based on outlines by Mariusz Wojciechowski and real photos.

NEW SKINS:
Prototype Su-32 1993
Prototype Su-32 1995
Le Bourget 1997
Russia_1 - Standard modern colors
Russia_2 - Standard modern colors with "No Step" marks
Serial Su-34 2006
OLD SKINS
Aubergine 2011 - old gray skin from pack below looks too black in game. i tuned it and made some decals.
Aubergine 2012 - same with color tunes and some different decals for 2012 with "No Step" marks
===========
BACK UP you original Su-34  folder first.
installation: unpack and copy to your installed Su-34 folder. Be sure to overwrite the decals folder. It is very important! There is a fix for the  UV grid of the original model, cause of which the tail had a reflection of the another. All other decals like numbers are not changed and ruins nothing if you overwrite. If you didnt changed them youself.

Overview
TW's Mirage IIIO DLC with a SEA camouflage scheme based on the scheme used by the Mirage 5BAs of the Belgian Air Force. I did it because I never found the European camouflage on the Mirages to be all that sensible for Australia, the SEA scheme looks like a better fit. 
The skins are entirely generic, just the camouflage scheme, so it can fit any nation. No markings are provided, only decals are used. You must have the Mirage IIIO DLC for the RAAF decals. All the decal inis are taken straight from the Mirage IIIO DLC. 
The skins should work for any Mirage IIIE derivative. There were some changes to panel lines and lights for the Mirage IIIO, so the texture for the nose does not precisely fit the Mirage IIIC. That said, I can make a nose texture for the M3C if asked. Simple enough. The template used was Ludo's Mirage IIIC DLC template.

This is a set of Camouflages for Mirage Factory Mig-29A and C. Firstest in Ukraine ever and lastest but not least.
History:
At the beginning of 1991 it became clear that Soviet Russia would not be able to retain Ukraine under the occupation more. The grip of the communist beast has dramatically weakened.
Patriotic-minded technician crews began to paint over the red stars with a green colour and atop of it the blue Ukrainian Shield with Trident.  First MiGs which changed the aggressor's stars to Ukrainian marks was at Crimea Belbek. It was yellow trident in a blue circle and  blue circles and a big yellow dot in it at wings.
August 24, 1991 was proclaimed the independence of Ukraine. Soon, officially, new insignia, a square shield with a trident and yellow circles with blue big dot in them were approved. All MiGs  got new identification marks and shields for the tails. Soon they got new camouflages and was recolored in gray-blue scheme and gray-grean Ukrainian scheme.
====================
In 2011,  MiG-29Cs were upgraded to the MU1 version. The main task of the upgrade was giving the aircraft ability to load and use Kh-29 missile. MiG-29MU1s  got new avionics, new weapons and new Digital Camouflage. At 2012 the Ukrainian air force received this aircrafts.
====================
Installation:
1. Unpack files to your mod folder as you do usual with mods. You need installed Mirage Factory Fulcrums. CHECK YOUR FOLDERS! It can be different then mine.
I done skin with "official" tail Shield for MiG-29A and  with "non ufficial" rounded shield for MiG-29C to both aircraft appear in game with different shields, cuz in real, some times both variants was at Ukrainian Sky.
2. You need to correct start year in your NATIONS.INI if you have it in mod folder:
[NationXXX]
Name=Ukraine
DisplayName=Ukrainian Air Force
Alignment=FRIENDLY
...
StartDate=1991
3. Add in your MiG-29A_USERLIST.INI if you have n't it yet
[Ukraine]
ServiceStartYear=1991
ServiceEndYear=2000
Availability=RARE
and in your MiG-29C_USERLIST.INI
[Ukraine]
ServiceStartYear=1991
ServiceEndYear=2040
Availability=COMMON

In reality, more common aircraft for Ukrainian Air forces is MiG-29C type 9-13 (Hunchbacked). MiG-29A type 9-12 is very rare. If you fly Baltica's "Orange Revolution 2004" i recommend to change some MiG-29As to C in his company files.
White numbers of Digital Camo is not correct to real aircrafts. Must be white numbers and blue outline and white numbers and yellow outline. If you have anough health to outline all needed decals do not stop youself. I haven't. Please  make this work if you want and share it. You can fix skins, improve, redraw and use in your packs.
====================

Skins was drawn based on outlines by Mariusz Wojciechowski (http://www.mariwoj.pl/) and real photos on a MiG-29 Template from CombatACE site.

Hi to all, I'm Astore. Thanks for downloading my skin pack ! 
The UPEO (Universal Peace Enforcement Organization) is a fictional faction featured in the Ace Combat game series, and the main faction of Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere. 
The Universal Peace Enforcement Organization is an international peacekeeping organization under the Neo United Nations. UPEO maintains the SARF (Special Armed Response Force) when military intervention is required for peacekeeping duties, as well as the Euro-Asia Public Network for neutral, continent-wide broadcasting.
Despite its aim of enforcing peace, UPEO was a puppet of General Resource Limited until the late 2030s. The organization became more independent with the rise of Neucom Incorporated and with Gabriel William Clarkson taking office as UPEO's representative.
UPEO is the player's initial organization at the start of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere. In the Japanese version of the game, the player can defect from UPEO to either General Resource or Neucom.
It has shown that their equipment is of two main aircraft carriers, a Nimitz class and an Air Vector UI-4053 Sphyrna, still in construction during the early events of the game. Their main base, is a military airport at the center of Expo City, the eastern city of the USEA continent excluding Megafloat, which is a floating-island city.
The UPEO Air Fleet is composed by future versions of actual aircraft and some fictionals since the game is set in 2040 of the Strangereal Universe, but the only fictional continent invented at the game exit was the USEA, so, since the faction seems to be universal, there could be several other planes operative in other nations, which have been introduced only in Ace Combat 5 The Unsung War (That is set in 2015).

Installation: Open the aircraft folder from the downloaded content, and copy/move the UPEO (and variant) folders to the plane's folder in your SF2 (StrikeFighters2>Objects>Aircraft>Your plane folder. Same for the Aircraft Carrier skin: StrikeFighters2>Objects>GroundObjects>Admiral56) There's no need to overwrite on other folders, just add them in the specific folders. My skins does not requires decals, since the emblems are painted in the skin.
If the skin doesn't work or shows leaving your aircraft black, it's possible that you are using a different version of the plane from an another addon, or that your game doesn't read the skin format. When this happen, copy the skin files to save them, then try to change their format (Like JPG). If the skin sets are the same for other models with the same skin mapping, they should work too. 
You can make a UPEO Nation in your INI Files continuing the list of nations. Be sure that the Nation number continues the series. In my case since I already got 271 Nations in my file, I've wrote Nation272 to make it work. But you could have to change the number.

Most of these planes should work also on SF Gold. I've started working on the skin pack from Gold and then moved to SF2. Actually, also the F-18 has been downloaded from the FX Interactive site, but the addon from CombatAce should work too. To install manually the aircraft from that site, download them, the site will give a laucher-sort file. Ignore it, do mouse-right click and extract the files. You should obtain the aircraft folder to put in your SFG/SF2 aircraft folder, and it should work. Some of the templates for aircrafts were missing, then I had to make some new by hand, like for the F-15D Active. The older skins could be not at the same quality since I was working on SFG, but they'll be remade in future. 

Bugs and errors: The files shouldn't damage your game, if something doesn't work just remove the folder of the skin. 
The only bug I actually know is in the F-15 D ACTIVE canards, which couldn't be painted. It was the only Active I found, if you use it in SF2 be sure to insert also a cockpit file. 
You can customize the skins if you want to, credit me when you post screens or other in way to allow other players to find the download. Don't forget to rate, good or bad.
This was my first skin pack, I hope I didn't messed up and that everything works. Maybe I'll do other skins in future. Have fun !
 

Su-33 Camo for Su-27M (What if)
Alternative history :
[TRUE] The aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov set sail on 15 October 2016 from the Kola Bay for takin part in Russian agression against Syria. The carrier was accompanied by an ocean-going tugboat, as a precaution due to potential propulsion failure.
The airwing included 6-8 Su-33 fighters, 4 Mig-29K/KUBR multi-role aircraf.
On 14 November 2016, a MiG-29K crashed into the sea after taking off from the carrier.
On 15 November 2016, Admiral Kuznetsov, took part in bombing Syria.
On 3 December 2016, an Su-33 crashed into the sea after attempting to land on the carrier.
[FICTION] On 4 December early in the morning, the aircraft carrier's radar detected more than a dozen unknown air targets approaching their ship. In a panic, the Russians raised all Su-33 fighters to protect their aircraft carrier. But it was too late. In a matter of minutes all Su-33 planes were shot down. To this day it remains a mystery whether these were F-22 stelth aircraft or they were Israeli F-35 aircraft. Some person tells even it was martians.
These cheerless news came to the Kremlin. The news of the loss of all Su-33 aircraft could not be published in the Russian mass media. Dumbfounded militarist propaganda residents, could inadequately respond to such a defeat of their troops. It was decided to hush up the news.
Dmitry Rogozin minister of Defense Industry of Russia, suggested that all existing Su-27M to repaint in Su-33 camouflage colors.
A few days later,  at night at  low altitude, all repainted Su-27Ms flew to Syria and start imitating the presence of the Su-33 in Syria and showed themselves in propaganda TV plots. We are waiting for the further events. BBC News, cpecial report, Syria.

========
installation: unpack and copy to your installed before Su-27M or Su-37 folder. Be sure to overwrite the decals folder. It is very important! There is a fix for the  UV grid of the original model, cause of which the second wing had a reflection of the first that the aircraft was disfiguring.
