SF2 Pakistan Viper Skin Pack

The file contain the "skin" files of the following squadrons:
 
F-16A_Blk15_PAK:
 
9th MLU
9th SQ
11th MLU
11th SQ
85723

F-16B_Blk15_PAK:
 
9th MLU
9th SQ
11th MLU
11th SQ
PAK (MLU test aircraft)
 
NOTE:
 
I name my aircraft as stated above. You need to go to the decal.ini and change the name to fit your own aircraft, otherwise the skin decals will not show up.
 
I tried to add the F16-005.bmp but I think the aircraft .LOD does not read it so I deleted it. The F-16A/B_Blk15 is still the old one. The new aircraft when MF decided to upload will read the F16-005, but only in .DDS file format.

If I missed anyone it is not intentional and you will be credited :)

This skin represents the current scheme of the Commanding Officer's aircraft circa May 2011
 
Simply drop in your FA-18F folder and go fly...
 
Includes new panel, riveting, and detail work I've been slowly working on.
 
Thanks to Afterburner Decals for their reference image used to create this skin.

Dhimar E-3A sentry skin
 
This is a simple skin for the E-3A Sentry for SF2 from The Mirage Factory available here http://combatace.com...or-sf2-series/.
 
I would like to acknowledge the effort of everyone involved in this:
The Mirage Factory for the original Aircraft
Amokfloo for the NATO skin
Daddyairlplanes for the others
Spinners for the Finflash decal
 
This has only been tested in SF2:E but as a skin it should work in all the games and probably the first series as well.
 
To install:
1. Make sure you actually have the E-3A sentry mentioned above.
2. Extract the folder to somewhere safe.
3. Copy the objects folder to your main mod folder and let it merge.
4. Go fly.
 
Extra:
5. You can edit the userlist .ini included with the E-3A and add Dhimar to the list.
 
Thanks to TK for making the games and Daddyairplanes for saying i should release this skin and giving me the idea.

F-16 Netz “Desert Viper”
------------------------
 
Requires: SF2 Israel!!
----------------------
 
 
A fictional 2 tone Desert skin for the Third Wire F-16.
 
I’ve based it on the original Israeli camouflage scheme & have unofficially assigned to
Israel’s 116 (Flying Wing Squadron)
 
However it could make a great mercenary skin or as a fun addition to those “Special Ops” for an air force & squadron of your own.
 
This is my first attempt at skinning the Netz & decided to keep it simple.
When time allows I’ll try something a little more authentic & perhaps a little different next time.
Notably, it may not be as good as those masterpieces that you are used to but
I hope you have fun with it anyway.
 
Enjoy :- )

Installation:

Unzip & place in your Strike Fighters 2 “Mods” folder.

Thank you.

Layered Templates for Stock 3rdWire F-16A "Netz"
These are the PSD templates that I created from the stock bitmaps for the Netz from SF2:I.
 
These are NOT hi-rez, but only 1024 x 1024 maps. You can experiment with upsizing, but I personally feel that 1024 is perfect 'in middle' size, that looses no detail in game, and will keep frame rates smooth. (after all, the game engine WILL resize to fit)
 
Feel free to make changes, repaint -the purpose of the upload- and correct any/all errors that I may have induced. Remember, folks, I ain't Sundowner, so things won't be as pretty has his!! (Ant being the Skinning Deity)
 
I've left ALL my 'working' layers intacat, so there's undoubtedly a bunch of stuff you won't be needed there. Also included are templates for the pylons and drop tanks.
 
Enjoy!

A What If of a What If skin, this is adapted solely for the F/A-18E

This skin is designed for The Mirage Factory F-14B Tomcat.
 
The contained paint scheme is representative of the Be-Devilers shortly after they received the F-14A+ Tomcat, roughly around the 1988 timeframe. Looking at pictures of the Be-Devilers Turkeys from 1988-1991, I found the birds to be consistently painted in a lighter grey, which I found was similar to Dave's VF-41 MiG killers, so giving credit where it's due: I used his skin as the starting point. VF-74's Tomcats, during this timeframe, were very lo-viz; A/C #101 would eventually wear a red lightning bolt later on (and the Olympic rings during ODS). I also made the F110 "turkey feathers" a bit shinier, as the majority of the pictures I've seen of VF-74's F-14A+'s between 1988 and 1990 have pretty darn shiny feathers.
 
VF-74 Be-Devilers were one of the later squadrons to receive the Tomcat, beginning transition from the F-4S in 1983. Aboard the USS Saratoga, VF-74 gained notoriety when their aircraft were assigned to force down a hijacked Egypt Air Boeing 737 in 1985 (this incident inspiring a similar scene in the movie Executive Decision). In 1988, VF-74 and VF-103 received the F-14A-Plus Tomcat, and flew these aircraft during Operation Desert Storm. Following the Navy's decision to draw down their Tomcat fleet (going from two squadrons to one per carrier) VF-74 wound up shore-side, directly under the command of COMFITWINGLANT, while their sister squadron (VF-103 Sluggers), whose Tomcats were equipped with TARPS, continued to go on cruise. The Be-Devilers became an aggressor squadron starting in 1993, flying against both Navy and Air Force blue forces during exercises and training. The following year, the Be-Devilers made one last cruise before being disestablished on 30 April, 1994.
 
I was able to find 10 of the aircraft which served with VF-74 in the late 1980s-ODS. (Thanks also to EricJ for assistance here). Aircraft found herein:
 
162925 AA100
162919 AA101
161434 AA102
162923 AA103
162924 AA104
163221 AA105
161435 AA106
161432 AA107
161870 AA110
163408 AA111
 
Install Instructions:
 
Open your Strike Fighters 2 Mod Folder
 
Drag the "Objects" file from VF-74 archive into the base mod folder (e.g. StrikeFighters2 Europe). I have the folder set up so it should go to the right place. If you don't trust that, navigate through Objects->Aircraft->F-14B and drag the VF74 folder into the aircraft folder. Then, go back, get to decals, and drop the VF74 decal file into your F-14B Decal folder.
 
Texture Set is:
[TextureSetxxx]
Directory=VF74
Name=VF-74 Be-Devilers
Nation=USN
Squadron=VF-74
Specular=0.200000
Glossiness=0.350000
Reflection=0.000000
 
Good Hunting...Always, Baby!

Part of VX-23 "Salty Dogs" this F/A-18F is from that squadron.
 
Simply drop in the FA-18F directory and go fly.

A modification of the original stock skin of Dels' F-31A Mustang, the only difference is that it's in the F-15C "Mod Eagle" scheme using the default decals from the default skin.

F-104G 4510th CCTW Silver skin.
 
This skin is optimized for the stock SF2 F-104G (June2011 Patch level).
Since i saw there was no accurate USAF Skin for it in Game, i did this.
