****457th TFS/301st TFW 'Spads' Skin Pack****
 
You have downloaded a little repainting job for two aircraft, including the first skin I ever did. These are meant and intended for the stock ThirdWire models of the F-105D_66 and F-4D_78.
 
These are skins for the 457th TFS/301st TFW, based out of Carswell AFB, right across the lake from my childhood home. I saw both of these aircraft fly over my home more often than I care to count. They are an Air Force Reserve unit. From Vietnam to 1981, they used the F-105D and then made the transition to the F-4, using the D-model first. Later, they would use the E-model Phantom, but only for a few years before finally converting over to the F-16C. Today, they operate the F-16C Block 30 and have seen service in Iraq and Afghanistan.
 
Read the README for installation instructions.

Replacement texture for "Warbirds" F-4E_86:
 
After I'd uploaded it, Dave noticed the very tip of the nose and the pitot tube were painted incorrectly.
 
This replacement f-4e_5.bmp will fix that, adding the black at the very tip.
 
Instructions for use (as no readme is included) A screenshot can be seen in this thread:

Unzip to a tempfolder or dessktop or where that's easy to find.
 
Then, simply copy/paste the f-4e_5.bmp into EACH of the 3 skin folders (377,378,379) Allow for the overwrite.
 
that'll fix ya' right up!
 
sorry for the slight incovience! And thanks to Dave's much-sharper-than-mine eyes.

Royal New Zealand Airforce DH Venom Skin
 
For use with the SF2 DH Venom by Paulopanz found here http://combatace.com...11004-dh-venom/
 
Instillation: Place files in apropriate location and allow to override (adds correct RNZAF years to Userlist.ini)
 
History: Venoms were lent to the Royal New Zealand Air Force by the RAF to supplement the RNZAF’s Vampires and were used in the Malayan Emergency where they operated by No. 14 Squadron.
 
UPDATED 31/01/11 RAF letters added to wing tip tanks after Pasko helped me out with the mesh names. However there is a small bit of bleed through on the bottom of the tanks from the decal. Because of this there are two folders in the download: One with the wing tip decals which is historically accurate. And one without the decals if you can’t live with the bleed through lol. You choose.
 
 

Based off a real airplane this represents an Iranian camoed Aggressor NSAWC Tomcat
 
Drop in the F-14A folder and go fly.
 
ONLY for the Mirage Factory F-14A

Please read update below if you have installed Jan 2011 Patch, Update......
 
A fictional skin for ThirdWire’s SF2 F-4M so you have to have ThirdWire’s SF2 F-4M in game or it will not work.
 
Just copy into your F-4M folder, stock folder, will only work in ThirdWire's F-4M Folder. Uses stock lods, decals and weapons by Thirdwire.
 
Thank You to TK and Thirdwire for the games.
 
To CombatAce for a place to upload and download files.
 
Warning, again if you do not have ThirdWire's SF2 series games with an F-4M, the skin will not work.
 
James Fox.
 
21/01/2011 Update;
---------------------------
Warning,
 
If you have not patched to Jan 2011 and do not have a game with Thirdwires F-4M, or you have not downloaded my skin, then this will not work and you do not need to do this.
 
 
This is a fix-up for my RAF Desert skin. All you have to do is copy and paste this F-4M folder into you Thirdwire Aircraft folder. It will prompt to overwrite, let it, it should not effect anything but correct a folder naming conflict.
 
Thirdwire has released a new skin of their own to the F-4M folder with the Jan 2011 Patch which has the same name as my Desert skin. So I have renamed my Desert skin and included the correction to add Thirdwires new skin as it should be.
 
Skin Folders should look like this when you are done;
 
DESERT
RAFCAMO1
RAFCAMO2
 
Plus the F-4M configuration file which I have also corrected to correct my error.
 
Sorry for the inconvenience but I should have known better and not followed Thirdwires naming conventions.
 
PS, I have included a little decals edit which allows stock serial numbers to be shown on Thirdwire F-4M models fuselage only.
For some reason Thirdwire has not included them on the fuselage, they are only on the underside of the wings.
 
Thanks to TK, Thirdwire and CombatAce.
 
James Fox.
 
 
 
 

This skin represents the CAG bird until the squadron's disestablishment in 1995.
 
For the Mirage Factory F-14A/B ONLY

F-14A_82 VF-32 Swordsmen Skin by Dave
 
 
On the morning of January 4, 1989, the Kennedy battle group was operating some 130 km north of Libya, with a group of A-6 Intruders on exercise south of Crete, escorted by two pairs of F-14As from VF-14 and VF-32, and as well as an E-2C from VAW-126. Later that morning the southernmost Combat Air Patrol station was taken by two F-14s from VF-32, AC207 (CDR Joseph Bernard Connelly/CDR Leo F. Enwright 159610 AC207) and AC202 (LT Hermon C. Cook III/LCDR Steven Patrick Collins 159437 AC202). The officers had been specially briefed for this mission due to the high tensions regarding the Carrier Group's presence; the pilots were advised to expect some kind of hostilities.
 
At 11:50 hrs, after some time on patrol, the E-2 informed the F-14 crews that four Libyan MiG-23s had taken off from Al Bumbaw airfield, near Tobruk. The F-14s turned towards the first two MiG-23s some 50 km ahead of the rear pair and acquired them with radars. At the time the Floggers were 72 nautical miles (133 km) away at 10,000 ft (3,000 m) and heading directly towards the Tomcats and carrier. The F-14s turned away from the head-on approach to indicate that they didn't want to engage. The Floggers changed course to intercept at a closing speed of about 870 knots (1,000 mph, 1600 km/h). The F-14s descended to 3,000 ft (910 m) to give them a clear radar picture of the Floggers against the sky and leave the Floggers with sea clutter to contend with. Four more times the F-14s repeated this maneuver, still tracking the Libyans. At 11:59 the Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) of the lead Tomcat ordered the arming of the AIM-9 Sidewinder and AIM-7 Sparrow missiles it was carrying. The E-2C had given the F-14 crews authority to fire if threatened; the F-14 crews did not have to wait until after the Libyans opened fire.
 
At almost 12:01 the lead Tomcat RIO said that "Bogeys have jinked back at me again for the fifth time. They're on my nose now, inside of 20 miles", followed shortly by "Master arm on" as he ordered arming of the weapons. At a range of 14 nmi (26 km) the RIO of the lead F-14A fired the first AIM-7M Sparrow; he surprised his pilot, who did not expect to see a missile accelerate away from his Tomcat. The RIO reported "Fox 1. Fox 1." The Sparrow failed to track because of a wrong switch-setting. At 10 nmi (19 km), he launched a second Sparrow missile, but it also failed to track its target.
 
The Floggers accelerated and continued to approach. At 6 nmi (11 km) range the Tomcats split and the Floggers followed the wingman while the lead Tomcat circled to get a tail angle on them. The wingman engaged with a Sparrow and downed one of the Libyan aircraft. One of the US pilots broadcast "Good kill! Good kill!" The lead Tomcat closed on the final Flogger from the rear quadrant and at 1.5 nmi (2.8 km) the pilot fired a Sidewinder, which hit its target. One crewman broadcast "Good kill!" and "Let's get out of here." The Libyan pilots were seen to successfully eject and parachute into the sea, but the Libyan Air Force was unable to recover them. The Tomcats then proceeded north to return to the carrier.

Royal New Zealand Airforce Vampire Skins for No. 75 Squadron
 
For use with the stock Vampire52
 
You will need to make the Vampire52 flyable by downloading and installing the following cockpit: http://combatace.com/files/file/11098-vampire-cockpit-single-engine-egyptian-modified-combat-veteran/

There is a folder titles 'extra skins' these are markings for RNZAF Vampires that I could find no period photos of but found plenty of scale models in that peticular scheme.
 
 

This is a modified F-14A-005.bmp file for the excellent VF-32 and VF-41 MiG Killers skins for the new TMF F-14A and F-14A(82). The original skins appear to have been based off of the F-14B templates, and have the General Electric F-110 "Turkey Feathers"/engines that don't match up to the TF-30 nozzles. Just drop the new F-14A-005 skin file into the VF32-89 and VF41 skin files to replace the initial F-14A-005.bmp and go flying!
 
Anytime, Baby!

This is an update of the F-15CJ_Kai Decals.
 
For those who have not already done so on their own, or for those who would like to see the proper decal placement?
 
The following files will "CORRECT" the errors that I described on the initial upload of the F-15CJ_Kai's decals.
 
This is NOT a set of new decals.
 
Place the appropriate files into the respective folder.
 
Please use copy and paste procedure for "each" of the folders content.
 
Again, let me know if there is any issues. There is always a chance that during the replacement process... something was miss or miss-place.
 
 
 
Cheers!

USAF RF-101A
When Enrico made this fantastic plane, there was only with a Rocaf skin in the pack.
So I made these 363rd TRW & 18th TRS, 363rd TRW skins for USAF recon mission (maybe over Cuba!).
The serials, as usual, are historical.
I hope You like them.
 
As a bonus I included a new RF-101 loadout.tga, true SF-2 Style.
Instal instructions - if needed - in readme.
 
A little service note is in the pack, too.
 
This a very great plane/model, for me one of the best ever.
Enjoy it.
