Stock A-10A High Res Skin Pack
By Jimbib
USAF skin pack for the stock Thirdwire A-10A by Jimbib
*** Must have the stock A-10A_78 installed for this to work (included in SF2E, or SF2 Complete package) ***
This is a simple skin pack that I started years ago for the stock A-10 in WoE and never got round to releasing it so I've updated the skins to reflect the mapping for the SF2E A-10A_78. These skins will work on both the stock A-10A and A-10A_78 (earlier A-10A doesn't have the Pave Penny).
USAF skins included are:
- Grey False Canopy
- Peanut
- Flipper
- Cool Snow Hog
- Euro
Extras - I have included alternate Shark and Hog nose arts for the Grey False Canopy skin (default is set to the Snake art)
Installation notes:
1. Unzip the contents to a folder.
2. Open up your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder (e.g. C:\User\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\...).
3. Copy the contents of the unzipped Objects folder into your SF2 mod Objects folder, allowing all files to overwrite if need be.
This was tested on the latest July 2013 patch level on a stock SF2E install, I recommend you backup your stock A-10 files should anything go wrong, I am not responsible for any damage to your install / PC.
You may not upload either the original or modified contents of this skin pack without my permission. If you wish to include these skins in a mod, please contact me here at CombatACE to discuss beforehand.
This mod is freeware and may not in any way, shape or form be used in any payware.

Israeli Mig-21F-13 "007" stock
By toot
During Operation Diamond an iraqi pilot has decided to defect from iraq with his family, and so he had landed his Mig-21 F-13 in israel. This acquisition of the new and advanced soviet fighter has given israel alot of insight on its capabilities, and how to fight againts it. During it's service with the israeli airforce (and the US airforce), it has took on several paint schemes, this being the final and most used one.
To install simply follow this steps:
1) Drop "007 camo" into Objects->Aircraft->Mig--21F.
2) Drop "Mig-21F" into Objects->Decals.

By Wrench
SF2 T-34A Mentor (RCAF) Skin Pack by Wrench 1/20/2023
-For SF2, Any and All-
A new skin for RUssoUK's fun little T-34A Mentor recreate the 25 as used by the RCAF from 1954 - 1956. These had a very short service life in Canada, and were passed on to other NATO/MADSC allies.
The aircraft itself can be fond at the following URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/17995-sf2-t-34a-mentor-usaf-upgrade-pack-by-russoukwrench /
ALL markings are decals and Decal Randomization is TRUE. There are 25 serial/Buzz numbers for the aircraft. These are 100% historically correct. The skin itself is in jpg format.
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions.
Happy Landings!

SF2 Vietnam Scooters

SF Vietnam Scooters - v0.95
===========================
*** SF2, SF2V required. Tested in full 5-merged installation ***
This pack includes 111 Skins for Thirdwires A-4 Skyhawk-models during Vietnam war from 1964 to 1972. It combines the former v0.01 and v0.02 releases into 1 pack.
The data.inis for the planes itself are changed from the stockfiles (rearranged weaponsstations, added invisible skids for belly-landings, added new droptanks and missilerails, etc.).
Sometimes a skin is provided for 2 different Skyhawk-models. This is done to represent different changes througout an ongoing deployment:
- transition from one Skyhawk-variant to another (for example A-4E to A-4F)
- retrofit of ECM-equipment (Project Shoehorn) (A-4C to A-4C_65, A-4E to A-4E_65, A-4E_65 to A-4E_67)
- change in Camouflage (VA-155)
Skins included (Timeframe 1964 to 1972):
(compl.) means, that skins, for all deployments to Vietnam are finished for a squadron.
Navy Squadrons:
VA-12 Flying Ubangis (compl.)
VA-15 Valions (1 of 2)
VA-22 Fighting Redcocks (compl.)
VA-23 Black Knights (compl.)

Unfortunately I failed at finishing this MOD! For different reasons, I decided to not invest any more time into this.
I hope you can still enjoy this pack. Have fun!
Unpacking and installation:
===========================
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
!!! I recommend using this pack for a standalone-Vietnam-War MOD-folder, as planes.inis are changed accordingly
!!! That means, that no exportusers are in userlist.ini
Backup your A-4B. A-4B_65, A-4C, A-4C_65, A-4E, A-4E_65, A-4E_67 and A-4F planefolders, as .inis will be overwritten
1. Create a temporary folder, copy all 3 zip-files into that folder and unpack them into this folder (overwrite is ok)
Info: If you do NOT want to include the changed data.inis to your installation, just go to all planes-folders in the temporary folder (Objects/Aircraft/A-4B, etc.) and delete all ini.files in each planes-folder.
2. open "Put_Contents_In_Your_MOD_Folder" from the temporary folder and copy the contents you want to your Vietnam-MOD-folder
3. if asked to overwrite, say 'yes'
4. Thats it!

Black Knights and the Slobberin' Wolfhounds
Black Knight and the Wolfhounds: F-15C in the 57th FIS and 32d TFS during the 1980s
this mod represents the F-15C while in service with the 57th FIS at NAS Keflavik and the 32d TFS at Soesterberg AB. it is semi historical, as good images of all the aircraft were harder to come by especially for the later 80s
Installation
get original FastCargo aircraft pack from here
https://combatace.com/files/file/10443-f-15-super-pack-version-24/
or the viper63a revamp here
https://combatace.com/files/file/16186-sf2-f-15-eagle-super-pack-redux-2018/
the skin should work equally well in either. then....
select either just the F-15C and F-15C_85 aircraft (and associated decal folders if you wish, they arent needed for this mod)
unzip, drop "Objects" folder into mod folder. should not be any overwriting necessary
Included
aircraft skin folders and decal folders for F-15C and F-15C_85 aircraft
credits
viper63a: limited use of decals, skins, much inspiration on how to proceed
FastCargo: original model
daddyairplanes: minor skin tweeks, revamp of decal layout, tga work
TK: the whole original game
note: this started as an improvement to my own install on a new system. as i do not usually fly the two seaters, i have no intentions of doing the D models. if interested, i will gladly share the templates so you can create your own.
thank you for choosing this mod, i hope that you enjoy it
Kevin Unruh
aka daddyairplanes
Aug 2021
UPDATE 24 September 2022
there is a folder with corrected textures if you encounter your F-15C being blank. this issue was not reported with the
F-15C_85.
since i revisited this mod, i also change the filepaths for the decal folders, adjusted the decal inis, and added loading
screens based on the old TW style but specific to the mod.
big thanks to DEVIL11, who brought the texture issue to my attention.

SF2 C-130A Hercules (3w) UPgrade Pack
By Wrench
SF2 C-130A Hercules (3w) UPgrade Pack 8/29/2022
-For SF2 (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
This package contains various bits to upgrade the stock 1stGen 3rdWire C-130A "Hercules" to something a bit more then just eye candy. Although, it WILL improve the eye candy. Be advised, that the LODs for the aircraft are =NOT= included, so End Users (tm) will have to extract them (there are 5 lods) from the SF1, WoE or WoV main Object cats. See "Notes" below for their actual file names.
If at some point in the past, you have already extracted and imported the 3W Herk in your SF2 installs, be advised THIS mod uses a unique folder name identifer. You'd be well advised to use =this= one, as all the pathways have been written with the unique name in mind. AND as such the Game Engine (tm) will not overwrite a stock AI-only aircraft made player usable, and it will remain player flyable.
Included skins are:
"USAFSilver1" - stock NMF, a generic skin
"USAFSEA2" - a 3-tone VietNam era camo, representing 21st TAS
"Desert" - generic Desert camo
"TN" - 118th AW, TN ANG (late light grey)
All skins remain in their original bmp format.
All National Markings are decals (stock). New decal sets were created using historically correct "A" model serial numbers. While correct, they should be considered 'generic' in nature, representing NO particular unit(s). Decal randomization is TRUE for all. The NMF and Desert use the same pool of 26 serials. The SEA camo uses 26 in the correct VN era style. I was unable to run down those serials for aircraft in the 21st TAS, so like the others, are generic in nature, but correct for the model and style presentation.
The SF2 date switch IS active for the SEA came (1967) and the TN ANG (1980). The desert and NMF are selectable via the loadout screen.
A full cockpit (albeit not quite a Herk pit), all necessary inis, sounds, etc are included. However, a 'Userlist.ini' is NOT. Exportation is TRUE, so expect to see them parked wearing various and sundry markings.
When in game, you'll see:
C-130A Hercules (TM)3W
On the aircraft selection drop-down menu. This will ID it as the stock aircraft, seperate from the (superb!) model done by Dels.
As is always reccomended, 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 them, before installing!!! Also, the Notes section has more details on the changes.
Happy Landings!

USAFE 495th FS Skin for F-35A
By Coupi
495th FS "Valkyries" (USAFE) Skin for F-35A v1.0.0
Hello,
On 15 September 2020, the USAF announced that the 495th Fighter Squadron would
be reactivated as first F-35A unit of the 48th Fighter Wing "Liberty Wing" at
RAF Lakenheath.
The "Valkyries" received their first four F-35As on 15 December 2021.
This skin must be used with the Strike Fighters 2.
You should add this skin to the "SF2 USAF F-35 redux 1.0.0" by kblomkvist :
https://combatace.com/files/file/16811-sf2-usaf-f-35-redux/
I have created the main decals of this famous fighter squadron of the USAFE
and I have used the DoctorWho F-35A/B skin templates. These decals are the early delivered
F-35As for the "Liberty Wing".
The original mod of the F-35 was made by FastCargo.
In order to install this skin you have to put the Objects folder into your SF2 game
directory.
NOTAM :) I hope to finalize the integration of a new canopy front structure (Fakepilot method).
Best regards,
Coupi.

Super Étendard Modernisé Armada de la República Argentina
By MSim12
IMPORTANTE!!! Antes de instalar la skin es importante tener el avión de denissoliveira.
IMPORTANT!!! Before installing the skin it is important to have denissoliveira's plane.
Español:
A fines del 2018 unos 5 Super Étendard Modernisé arribaron a la Argentina a la espera de una puesta a punto, pero lamentablemente para el 2022 siguen sin volar.
Esta skin es lo mas similar a la pintura del Super Étendard del ARA, la única libertad que me tome a la hora de hacer la skin es añadir un killmark como tenían los Super Étendard después de la guerra de Malvinas.
Si quieren modificar mi skin, añadir algo o lo que sea, agradecería bastante que se me dé el crédito correspondiente, ya que me llevo bastante tiempo debido a la falta de plantilla que me faciliten el laburo. Además darle los créditos correspondientes a denissoliveira por el avión y la skin sobre la que trabaje. Sin nada mas que agregar, espero que disfruten la skin.
English:
At the end of 2018, some 5 Super Étendard Modernisé arrived in Argentina waiting for a set-up, but unfortunately by 2022 they are still not flying.
This skin is the most similar to the painting of the ARA Super Étendard, the only freedom I took when making the skin is to add a killmark like the Super Étendard had after the Malvinas war.
If you want to modify my skin, add something or whatever, I would be very grateful if you give me the corresponding credit, since it took me a long time due to the lack of a template that facilitates my work. Also give the corresponding credits to denissoliveira for the plane and the skin on which he works. With nothing more to add, I hope you enjoy the skin.

A4-AR Fightinghawk Skin Grupo 5 de Caza
By MSim12
Español:
Esta es una skin para el A4-AR Fightinghawk basado en la pintura real del mismo. El A-4AR Fightinghawk es actualmente usado por el Grupo 5 de Caza (G5C) con base en Villa Reynolds, provincia de San Luis.
Esta skin esta hecha desde cero hasta inclusive las calcas, que debido a que no encontré en alta definición las hice a mano. Si hay algún dato que le de mas precisión a la skin siéntanse libres de hacérmelo saber para tener en cuenta en una futura actualización.
Créditos para Nyghtfall por las plantillas que utilicé a la hora de crear la skin, y para The Banidos Team por la aeronave (mod necesario para el funcionamiento de la skin).
Siéntanse libres de modificar la skin con la única condición de que me den el crédito necesario, ya que este trabajo me costo horas de trabajo.
Sin nada mas que agregar, suerte y éxitos.

This is a skin for the A4-AR Fightinghawk based on the actual painting of it. The A-4AR Fightinghawk is currently used by Grupo 5 de Caza (G5C) based in Villa Reynolds, San Luis province.
This skin is made from scratch, including the decals, which because I couldn't find them in high definition, I made them by hand. If there is any information that gives the skin more precision, feel free to let me know so I can take it into account in a future update.
Credits to Nyghtfall for the templates I used to create the skin, and to The Banidos Team for the aircraft (mod needed for the skin to work).
Feel free to modify the skin with the only condition that you give me the necessary credit, since this work cost me hours of work.
With nothing more to add, good luck and success.

SF2NA A-4C_65 Pack
By RustyKurnass
SF2NA A-4C_65 Pack
= Tested in SF2NA, Full-5 Merged
This project started as a personal customization to improve historically the skins for the CVW-1 A-4C_65's Squadrons aboard JFK in her maiden cruise.
So,I realize them basically to be used in the Northern Sabre 69 present in the SF2NA Expansion Pack.
The skins are based on the superb Nyghtfall's templates,so much of the credit will be deserved by him.
All the decals was done by me.
All the Bu.Nos are historically correct for all three Squadrons.
==========
To Install:
As always raccomended,all in the relative folders in your game(s)
-----------------------------
Credits:
3W for the A-4C_65 model.
Nyghtfall for his beautiful template
Me for the decals and the small improvements
------------
Know issue:
The only issue is common to all three skins: I collected all the Bu.Nos. assigned to all three Squadron, but was unable to associate the specific Modexes to some of them, so I'll be a bit licensing about this aspect
--------------------------------------------
Legal note:
This package may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware addition.
