VF-41 F-14A Sukhoi Killers
By Dave
F-14A VF-41 Black Aces Skin by Dave
While on deployment in the Mediterranean Sea on August 19, 1981, during a routine combat air patrol mission over the Gulf of Sidra, two Libyan Su-22 “Fitter” aircraft were shot down by Black Aces aircraft. The incident marked the first Navy air combat confrontation since the Vietnam War and the first ever for the F-14A Tomcat. It was the first time a variable wing geometry aircraft shot down another variable wing geometry aircraft. 1981 was also the first year in which the Black Aces won the COMNAVAIRLANT Battle Efficiency "E", signifying them as the most efficient squadron in the Atlantic Fleet. VF-41 was also awarded the Battle “E” in 1985 and 1989.
The 2 Sukhoi killers are in there too.
Templates and base skins by Column5 and EricJ.
For use with The Mirage Factory F-14A for SF2.
To install:
Drop the "Objects" folder into any SF2 install:
C:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2
Let it overwrite the aircraft and decals folder names. The go fly.
Update 22 Jan 11

3rd Wire VA-176 A-1H Template
By 1977Frenchie
A long time project of mine...
This is my template for the STOCK 3rd Wire A-1H Skyraider. It depict the VA-176 A-1H with the "BEE" scheme. As this is my first skin and did not want to be too complicated, this is a single layer one. With time, i will surely evolve :)
Just unzip the folder in your object/aircraft/a-1h directory.
Add the following in the A-1H.ini :
[TextureSetXXX]
Directory=VA176BEE
Name=VA176BEE
Nation=USN
Squadron=VA-176 "Thunderbolts"
Specular=0.000000
Glossiness=0.000000
Reflection=0.000000
XXX stands for the number in sequence.
I added another squadron patch then the VA-176 one used in the A-1 skin pack made by Wrench. So if you have then (hope you have) you will be able to find mine in the drop down list.
This skin is for an A-1 right out of the paint shop, so don't expect a dirty one here!
the template is jpeg format 2048 x 2048.
Work done on the skin : wings, body, tail, weapons pylons, tail wheel, main wheels, tail hook, engine, propeller and interior of the speed brakes.
Now it's yours to enjoy!

-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
As this skin/decal set is for the ANZAC Strike Wing Beaufighters, is it to be used on the recently released Beaufighter TFX (Early) by Cocas, avaliable at the following url:

The Squadron Crest is used as the paint chip seen on the Loadout Screen. Skins are in jpg format. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.

3rd Wire A-1H/A-1J Template Set
By Wrench
This is my template set for the STOCK 3rd Wire A-1H & A-1J Skyraiders.
These are multi layered Photoshop format (PSD) templates for the three main maps
body
left_wing
tail
the templates are 2048 x 2048. there is also a "nodes" map for each, to assist in finding the little odd bits.
the right wing is mapped identically to the left, so the only difference would be for camoflague patterns.
All my myriad layers are intact, which explains the HUGE size of each of them. You may keep or discard those layers that you don't need as you see fit (many are experiments for a mod that fell through)
Somehow or another, these slipped my notice, and should have been uploaded a looooong time ago.
Happy Skinning!

SF2 1950s USMC AD-6 (A-1H) Skyraider Skin Pack
By Wrench
SF2 1950s USMC AD-6 (A-1H) Skyraider Skin Pack 12/13/2015
= For SF2 (or Any & All =at= Full- Merged) =
*Note: must have SF2:V as part of your merged install to access the A-1H aircraft itself.*
The package represents USMC AD-6 (A-1H) Skyraider squadrons of the mid-1950s. Included in this set are skins for:
VMA-212
VMA-333
VMA-225*
VMA-251*
*Note: In Real Life service, these 2 squadron used AD-4B (and AD-5) aircraft, but as there is little difference between the marks, for gaming purposes, are used with the AD-6/A-1H. (they =CAN= be added to the "SF2 AD-4B Skyraider, KAW Era" mod here at CA, but you'll have the blue drop tanks on your grey/white skins, but that DID happen in Real Life. Or one can hand-load the 'white' drop tanks.)
All aircraft use a pool of modex and BuNums, with individual air group letters. In this respect, they should be considered "generic" in nature. All markings, excepting special squadron paint schemes (VMA-225 only) are decals. All skin maps are in jpg format. Decal randomizaion is TRUE. For those squadrons that are listed in the stock 3w "squadronlist.ini", a decal is used to activate the squadron name display on the loadout screen.
Reminder: nothing is included herein that makes them Player Flyable. There is a superb cockpit by Dels you should have already! If you don't, what ARE you waiting for?? :)
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
Happy Hunting!

By Viper63a
SF2 Lockheed YF-12A "Starduster" (Veltro2K) Redux...
by Viper63a
This started out as an add-on pack to the "What If... SF2 Lockheed (Y)F-12A Starduster by Veltro2K" pack released by Wrench, but by the time I got done with it...it became a stand alone pack. Nothing else is required, but if you want to download the inspiration for this pack, you can find it here...
http://combatace.com/topic/76491-what-if-sf2-lockheed-yf-12a-starduster-by-veltro2k/
This pack adds the YF-12A "Starduster" and a new 1950/60s era pilot in grey flight suit. Comes complete with new skins, Hangar, Loading, Loadout and Decal files.
As always, I recommend that you back up your mod folder before you install any new mod...just in case.
* To install, simply unzip and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite (if needed).
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2...
Original "Readmes" are in the Extra folder with some other goodies...
Enjoy!

SF2 A-1J Skyraider VA-115 Camo Skin
By Wrench
SF2 A-1J Skyraider VA-115 Camo Skin 11/30/2015
= For SF2V (or Any & All at Full- Merged) =
*Note: must have SF2:V as part of your merged install to access the A-1H aircraft itself.*
This skin/decal pak represents VA-115 "Arabs" during their Oct 1965-June 1966 deployment in South East Asia aboard USS Kitty Hawk. It represents the experimantal 2-tone green camoflague use during that cruise. It should be noted, sources only point to 3 aircraft actually being painted such, but I've given you a full 12 aircraft squadron.
The skin is in jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. I've also included a new, fully updated data ini, that has all the corrected lighting and so forth. Canopy and wingfold operation are the Standard Keystrokes (shift/0 canopy, shift/9 wingfold). Be advised, folding the wings with ordanance loaded, the items don't move with it. Also included are new sounds for flaps, gear and engine.
The skin uses the SF2 "date switch statement" that will (hopefully!) turn it on in October 1965.
What is NOT included are the cockpit or other items that make it flyable. You should have these already. If not, what are you waiting for???
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
Happy Hunting!

Harrier GR.3 Trial Camouflage schemes
By dtmdragon
Harrier GR.3 Trial Camouflage schemes.
As part of the Harrier II GR.7 development a new two tone green and a two tone grey camouflage pattern were trialled on two of the RAF’s GR.3 Harriers.
The Green scheme was chosen for the GR.7 as it was thought to be the most suitable in the low level European cold war environment. However the GR.7 soon switched to the grey scheme with the change to medium level tactics.
Combatace fair use agreement applies.
Instillation:
Simply drop in your mods folder.
Will work with the stock Harrier GR.3 and my GR.3 (82) Falklands War Modified:

RoCAF U-2A Skins & Bits
By paulopanz
RoCAF was the sole foreign airforce ouside USA that used U-2. Several were downed over China.
Here some history: http://www.taiwanairpower.org/u2/
WHAT'S IN:
5 new RoCAF skins Blue/Black with proper decalset for Pasko/Wrench edition plane: http://combatace.com/files/file/11575-lockheed-u-2a-for-sf2/
[due the secret operations involved there are no many entries and good pictures, so I made my best]
A new tga loadout image
Some data.Ini tweakings:
- Export set on TRUE and edited to let RoCAF proper usage;
- Woking canopy (key=10), autoclosing at take off and opened when plane is parked (Thanks Mue for outstanding lod-viewer!)
- Great Viper63a pilot inside, grab here with Cia Black skin http://combatace.com/files/file/15894-black-skin-for-u-2a/
Old stock skins and old USAF black for SF1 by HI-HO Silver edited (upper canopy frame color) and converted to jpg. Decals randomized and a better danger one included.
INSTALL:
Inside U-2A aircraft folder delete original CiA and USAF skins, and U-2_loadout.bmp.
Install Viper63a pilot and sure his CIA Skin too.
Simply overwrite to mod content on your mod install
That's all.
CREDITS:
- Pasko for the old but gold model;
- Hi-Ho Silver for original SF-1 Usaf Black skin;
- Wrench for SF-2 porting;
- Mue for his umbeliable lod viewer: the tool of the century!
- Viper63a for his pilot (not included) and for make me reinstall this plane on my new PC!
- paulopanz for RoCAF skins, decals, edits and tweakings
NOTE:
I made some years ago these skins that now refreshed and upgraded for clashes over Formosa/Taiwan campaign
To use this plane in game as a target or in a campaign a proper high quote mission type should be needed.
I tried to ask Tk, when he answered us needing our money, to include but he denied because it couldn't be funny.
I don't think so and as we have several strategic recon plane like Yak-25 or SR-71 and RB-57R (never uploaded!) if someone could add this mission type to the game (i can't say how) he would be very welcome.
At the moment some good intercept missions for example for the MiG-19SV should be very useful to use this beauty.
That's all volks!

Black Skin for U-2A
By Viper63a
Black U-2 Add-on for the Lockheed U-2A Pack Released by Wrench
by Viper63a
This is an add-on skin so you will need the Lockheed U-2A Pack Released by Wrench installed first. You can download that "gem" here...
http://combatace.com/files/file/11575-lockheed-u-2a-for-sf2/
While I was creating my own Hangar and Loading screens, I noticed most of the U2s in the pix were black. So I changed one of the skins to black. I didn't just darken the skin, I recreated each panel to retain the detail and quality of the original. Optional Hangar and Loading screens are included.
Also available in this pack is an optional U2 (modified A12) Pilot in orange flight suit. To use this pilot, you will have to change the [Pilot] section of the "U-2_DATA.INI" file to use the "PilotModelName=U2PilotLate"...
This is a new skin, so there should be no conflicts...but I recommend that you back up your mod folder just in case.
* To install, simply unzip and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder you have installed Wrech's pack to and Overwrite (if needed).
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2...
For more info, read the "Original_sf2_u2_pak_readme.txt"...I mean read it, there is some good stuff about flying the U2 in the original readme.
Enjoy!

SF2 WW2 SAAF Hurricane Skins, East Africa
By LloydNB
1 SAAF Squadron - Hurricane MKIA
3 SAAF Squadron - Hurricane MkIA (Trop)
These skins are for Raven's excellent Hurricane MkI and MkIa (Trop). Most of the hard work on these skins is down to him - I've just played around with the panel lines and added some extra decals.
SAAF squadrons in East Africa used a number of different aircraft over the campaign so I've decided to set these around January 1941 when:
- 3 SAAF Squadron was Hurricanes only and
- 1 SAAF Squadron was a mix of the original MkIs supplied early in the war, loaned MkIa(Trops) from 3 SAAF and Gladiators.
Anyone who would like the layered files to play with should drop me a line and I'll convert them to your format of choice - anything to encourage more people to get into skinning.
Regards
Lloyd

'What if' Israeli Air Force F-111 skins plus Bonus real life F-111 ECM corrections and F-111D HUD

'What if' Israeli Air Force F-111 skins plus Bonus real life F-111 ECM corrections and F-111D HUD
- IDF camo with white underside
- IDF camo with black underside
- IDF Grey
Can be used with any model F-111 but made for the F-111A.
I also suggest you add 'ISRAEL' to all the weapon station 'AttachmentType=' statments in the F-111_data.INI
BONUS (optional):
Also included is the correct working HUD for the F-111D and the correct internal ECM jammers for ALL the F-111 models.
These are not 'what ifs'. All the F-111 came with the internal AN/ALQ-94 or AN/ALQ-137 deceptive and noise jammer.
Likewise the F-111D had a basic HUD.
