SF2 WW2 Hurricane IIb RAF, CBI 12/15/2013
 
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
- For WW2 CBI Usage =ONLY!= -
 
*Note: There is a distinct possibility that this mod MAY work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. However, many features will not be functional. End Users that choose to use this in SF/Wo* do so on their own.*
 
While this mod CAN be used on the older (earlier) releases of the Hurricane, it's designed for use on the latest Hurricane IIB Ver 3.0 (hence it's delayed release), available at the following URL:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/13630-hurricane-mkiib/
 
The skin represents No.17 Squadron, when they first arrived in theatre (India) in late 1941/early 42, and as used in Burma. The skin remains in BMP format. All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE.
 
Included are modified main and data inis that have some very minor changes (component removals, new engine sound, slightly repositioned pilot, and so forth).
 
An SF2-converted version of the NEW 44 gallon drop tank (from V.3) is included; everything else you should already have. A new hangar screen, somewhat theatre themed, is included.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please -READ- them. In fact, as we're creating a theatre-specific version, READ the install instructions AFTER unzipping, but BEFORE installing this mod!!! Seriously, DO it!!!
Also, give the "Notes" section a read too for futher explinations, clarifactions, illuminations and so forth.
 
Good Hunting!

SF2 WW2 P-47D Bubbletop, 92st FS, CBI, Skin/Decal Pak 12/13/2013
 
-- Something for the WW2 CBI players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY (Any and All) =
 
**Note: this mod is designed for use =ONLY= in a WW2 CBI-Centric mods folder. In fact,
research seems to indicate this unit (81st FG) operated only over China from mid-1944*
 
New skin and decal set for Wolf257's P-47D-20 Razorback Thunderbolt, recreate the 92st FS,
81st FG as seen in China from mid-1944 thru war's end. Conside this a compaion set for the
91st FS's Razorbacks. The only non-historical bit, is the vertical squadron rudder/fin ID
stripe was solid, not broken so the serial can be seen. In Real Life ™, the serial
numbers may have been painted over by the stripe.
 
The included data ini has several changes (listed below in "Change List") for CBI (and
specificly China) usage ONLY!!!
 
The skin is in jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. The serial numbers, while
'generic' in nature, ARE correct for the model variant depicted.
The data ini supplied here in the main aircraft folder, is a theatre-specific data ini,
with the approximated start date/month of P-47 operations in the CBI. I made the assumption
(oh! that word!!) that Bubbletops started appearing within a few months of the Razorbacks.
Which is a different timeframe then the ETO or MTO.
 
Like the recently released mod for the Razorback, some of these changes and additions can
be used for any of Wolf's Bubbletop Jugs for ETO or MTO usage (after removal of the ADF
loop statements, of course!)
 
REMINDER!! Jugs in the PTO (ie: SoWesPac and Central Pacific), did =NOT= use the DF loop;
it is a CBI thing only. Once again, making the point of having a CBI-0nly Mods Folder.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE
read them!!

SF2 WW2 Ki-43iib, 25 Sentai, 2 Chutai, China Skin/Decal Pak 12/11/2013
 
-- Something for the WW2 CBI players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
**Note: this mod is designed for use =ONLY= in a WW2 CBI-Centric mods folder In fact, 25 Sentai seems to have =ONLY= operated over China, not further out into Burma/Indochina.**
 
This pak is to be applied to the Ki-43 Oscar Pak (original aircraft by Wolf257), available at the following URL:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/13248-sf2-ki-43-hayabusa-oscar-pak-by-wolf257/
 
This pack depicts 2nd Chutai, 25th Sentai, IJAAF over China in late 43 thru late 44 timeframe (actully, unitl war's end).
As all Wolf's Oscars are the same, it can be used on any other of the various marks available in the pack listed above.
As the Chutai marking is a decal, one can easily recreate the other Chutai by making a new one, in that Chutai color. A psd is provided for those with the talent and willlingness to do so. Of course, new plane-in-group number decals will also need creation; that also up to those End Users ™ that choose to take on the task.
As you can guess, the Chutai markings and numbers are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE.
 
When in game, you'll see
 
25 Sentai, 2 Chutai (China)
 
on the skin selection drop down on the Loadout Screen.

SF2 WW2 F-6D (RF-51D) Mustang Skin/Decal Pak 12/05/2013
 
-- Something for the WW2 players --
 
= For SF2 =ONLY=, Full-5 Merged, plus ExPak 1 (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: must have the SF2I Expansion Pak (whichever one gave us the Mustang) in your Merged Installs, due to this aircraft referencing the Stock 3rd Wire Mustang serial number decals*
 
A simple reskin for the KAW Era RF-51D, creates a "Plane Jane" F6D Mustang for WW2 usage. The aircrat has no squadron or other type of markings. This makes it usable in any theatre. However, it should be noted, SOME units did have their own markings. Consider THIS skin for exactly what it is: Generic ™
 
To be used on the KAW RF-51D; the aircraft is available at the following URL:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/13518-sf2-kaw-rf-51d-mustang/
 
Like the original, it uses DDS textues, and will NOT work in any 1stGen game installs at all.
This skin uses the "StartDefaultDate=" statement, so as to start in 1944 (aircraft's default in service year).
National markings are painted on; decal randomization (for the serials) is TRUE
 
When in game, you'll see:
 
"Natural Metal (WW2)
 
on the skin selection drop down menu.
 
REMINDER: you MUST have the RF-51D installed BEFORE installing this skinpak. See "To Insall" for more details

SF2 WW2 CBI P-40K-5 Skin & Tweeks Pak 11/14/2013
 
-- Something for the WW2 PTO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: this pak MAY be usable in 1stGen SF/Wo* game installs. However, some features
(decal randomization) will =NOT= be functional. Use in 1stGens has not, and cannot be,
tested by me.*
 
**Note x2: this mod is designed for use =ONLY= in a WW2 CBI-Centric mods folder. Some
Theatre specific changes have been effected, and should =ONLY= be used in the CBI!!!**
 
This is =NOT= the full aircraft; you'll be adding all this stuff to the original.
Some mods, tweeks, and 2 new skin/decal sets for Raven's P-40K-5-CU Warhawk, is seen in
China durning WW2.
 
Included are 2 skins for the 23rd FG, aka "Flying Tigers"
 
74th Fighter Squadron, in late 42 (star-and-ball)
 
75th Fighter Squadron, in late 43 (star-and-bar)
 
The squadron patch (ww2 versions!) will be seen as the paint chip for each skin on the
Loadout screen.
Skins remain in their bmp format.
New DDS damage textures (usable on all Raven's Warhawk/Kittyhawk in SF2 only) are
included!
Several new inis are included;
 
main
Data
Loadout
Userlist
 
The data ini makes use of my "kit-bashed" FM, that while (semi) SF2-compliant, still
needs fine tuning by an Expert. At least now, it won't mush into the ground and explode.
You are advised to back up your original inis, and full instructions are in the "To
Install" section.
The DF Loop antenna has been added via the 'fake pilot' method
Canopy Opens/Closes via the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0.
 
All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. There are no nose arts. Also,
via the use of my (patent pending) fake SqTail decal, the squadron name display is now
active on the Loadout Screen (74th only).
 
No weapons are included, except SF2 Versions of the new bombs (for those that haven't
converted them yet).
New SF-2 compliant "Box Art" style Hangar and Loading screens are included, too.
 
The skins have been run through the template (thank you Raven for that!), and have had a
layer of dirt and 'clouds' added for weathering.

(and yes, the screenie IS over the rebuilt WW2 China map)

This mod extends the in game life of the F-105 to match the real 1981 through 1984 retirements. It
features skins for the early 70's, late 70's, early 80's and a special skin featuring the noseart of the
149th TFS of the Virginia ANG. The markings are as accurate as I can find through several days of searching
the web for photos of the listed units.
 
- Required: You will need SF2, SF2 Europe or SF2 Vietnam for the stock F-105D_66.
 
- Included: Skins for 4 ANG and 3 AFRES F-105 operators. I have not included the Georgia ANG as that is
represented in the F-105G mod.
Also Included is an F-105F_66 aircraft. While the majority of F's were
used as Weasels, conversion and proficiency traning still had to take place. Every Thud fighter squadron
had at least 1 F on the books.
Data.ini's have been edited also to reflect proper service years.
 
- Credits: The Wrench, for his rerelease of ArmourDave's F-105F pack, as well as a few parts of TGAs that I
used from his F-100D ANG skinpack.He even answered a stupid question by yours truly.

This is pack of 3 skins of Baltic Countries for
http://combatace.com/files/file/11563-aero-l-39-czoza-albatros-add-on-pack/

Hurricane Mk1 - Belgium 1940
 
This skin is for Ravens' Hurricane Mk1. Not much has been changed from the original template so most of the credit for this skin must go tho him.
 
********************************
 
In an attempt to modernise their fighter force the Belgians ordered 20 Hurricanes and obtained a licence to build a further 80 of which only one (H42) was delivered to the air force.
 
It seems only 11 Hurricanes were serviceable at the outbreak of hostilities. These were all based at Schaffen as part of 2/I/2 Ae (No. 2 Squadron of No. 1 Group of No. 2 Air Regiment). 8 Hurricanes were lost at Schaffen to the Luftwaffe attack on 10 May 1940.

80th Fighter Group
The Burma Banshees
This is a semi-historical skin of the 89th Fighter Squadron of the 80th Fighter Group for Raven's P-40N20-CU. It is semi-historical because I have used any skull I could find to create these, and some are from the 88th and 90th squadrons of the 80th FG. This doesn't make the skin totally inaccurate, because there were similarities between the skulls for all three P-40 squadrons of the group (the 459th flew P-38s).
 
Some skulls I've created are alterations of skulls I've found, but again this isn't totally inaccurate, because in photos found in the Philip Adair collection you'll see two P-40s sitting side by side with almost identical skulls. All the skulls here were painted by me, using decals or photos as a guide, altering the proportions where necessary to account for the fact they were on a curved surface. Some skulls don't cover the same area of the nose they did in real life, because of bending and stretching problems caused by the use of decals.
 
Where I could find photographic evidence of a skull/aircraft number/serial number combination, I've used it, the rest have generic serials derived from the Joe Baugher site.
 
I've included the following named aircraft. Some have accurate skull/number combos, if I could find complete information, some are best guesses:
 
Lulu Belle II
The Rough Cobb
Joe Aztec
Joanne
Butter Bean II
Miss Frances III
 
No matter what their flaws, I think they make a cool appearance in game. I know we don't have an updated CBI for them to operate in, but perhaps some day we will. I created them because they were one of the most unusual P-40 groups out there in a world that seemed dominated by shark mouths. I hope you enjoy them.
 
Simply unzip the enclosed .rar to a location on your computer and open the readme for complete installation instructions. Designed for a full five merged installation of SF2. You'll have to make your own alterations for SF1, and I cannot guarantee they'll work.
 
I've used Raven's wonderful template to create these. I've added my own weathering and dirt layers, so any flaws are solely my own.
 
I strongly recommend that you download and install Wrench's Southwest Pacific P-40N pack located here first:
http://combatace.com/files/file/14278-sf2-ww2-pto-p-40n-usaaf-swpa-skinpak/
It has some goodies in it that you'll want to have.
 
This skin is Freeware. It is not to be used in any Payware project, or file.

SF2 WW2 ETO RAF Catalina (PBY-5a) Skin/Ini Pak 11/11/2013
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
A new skin, and some ini updates for Veltro's Catalina. This skin is for No.210 Squadron, RAF Costal Command as seen approx late 1941. This is an ETO =ONLY= skin, so install the aircraft accordingly!!!
 
This skin/ini package is to be applied to the PBY-5A Reissue Pak, available at the following url:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/14092-sf2-ww2-pby-5a-catalina-by-veltro2k/
 
You are =exceedingly= advised to back up some of the inis, and these are listed in the "To Install" section. Also, see the "Notes" section for historical comments.
 
All new 100% historically accurate serials numbers are included. It should ben noted, that although the serials ARE aircraft used by 210 Squadron, there was no way to match plane-in-group letter to serial. Also, as stated in the "Notes" section, these are for Catalina II/IIa/III Flying Boats.
Decal Randomizations is TRUE. ALL markings are decals, making it extra easy for other skinners to create other squadrons.
The skin itself is in jpg format. An RAF-only Catalina hangar screen is also included (making use of the skin-specific type allowed in SF2).
 
To fly the aircraft, select the PBY-5A from the drop-down, and choose "Royal Air Force" for the service.
 
Included are updated data, loadout and userlist inis. Also included are 2 version of the Mk.XII British torpedo - one a standard torp, the other an experimental "cruise missile" type, ala SF2NA (hence, the Full-5 merged requirement).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them before installing!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for the change list, and other stuff that might be interestering in general.
 
Good Hunting!!

These are three skins representing the 154th gruppo and 155th gruppo of the 6th Aerobrigata and the 101th gruppo of the 5th Aerobrigata.
All three squadrons received the F-84F, replacing their F-84G's.
The decals contains authentic serials most of which match the squadrons. It's not 100% historically accurate, but they look good over the Libya map.
 
Install:
 
Unzip and paste the F-84F folder (Objects/Aircraft/F-84F) in the corresponding folder in your mod folder.
The Decals go into the corresponding Decals folder.
 
 
Credits:
 
TW for the F-84F.
Ludo for the layered template that I used to make these skins.

This is a skin for the J-6C.
Requires J-6C_EGYPT from DLC29 (AI Plane Pack 2)
This is my attempt to show how looks F-6C (export Version Shenyang J-6C) with camouflage and orange triangles.
I hope it will satisfy your curiosity until someone makes a better one.
Thank you.
