Aircraft Skins

Spitfire F.MkIXc, early production, Middle East Forces, late 1942 onwards.
 
These will add an RAF-specific MkIXc version of the Spitfire included in the SF2 Israel Expansion Pack. Includes serial numbers for early production F.MkIXc ("MkIXA") aircraft, squadron and individual codes and correct RAF markings for the period.
 
A large number of early MkIX aircraft were conversions from MkV airframes; if you look up the serials of these aircraft, they will fall in blocks attributed to MkVs. All the aircraft represented in this pack were either converted to MkIX standard, or in the earliest MkIX production blocks.
 
This will run only in SF2I or a merged install including SF2I and the SF2I Expansion Pack.

Spitfire MkXVIe, RAF 1944-45
 
These will add an RAF-specific MkXVIe version of the Spitfire LF MkIXe included in the SF2 Israel Expansion Pack. Includes serial numbers for LF.XVIe aircraft, squadron and individual codes and correct RAF markings for the later part of WW2. The only difference between MkIX and MkXVI aircraft was that the MkXVI substituted a Packard-built Merlin for the original Rolls Royce. HF, F and LF variants were parallel.
 
This will run only in SF2I or a merged install including SF2I and the SF2I Expansion Pack.

Spitfire MkIXe Royal Danish Air Force, 1945-1955
 
This will add an RDAF-specific version of the Spitfire LF MkIXe included in the SF2 Israel Expansion Pack. Includes correct serial numbers for all airworthy RDAF MkIXe aircraft.
 
Unfortunately, the LF.IX is not correct for the RDAF, as all MkIX aircraft in service with the RDAF were HF.MkIXs. I can not correct this myself, but if somebody else could, it would be a useful addition. The visual model is in any case identical. Danish Spitfires had rounded or clipped wingtips indifferently, and as these were interchangeable, a photograph of any particular aircraft will only show the configuration of that aircraft on that day. The "LF," "F" or "HF" designation concerns only the engine variant, not the wingtips, canopy type or armament fit.
 
This will run only in SF2I or a merged install including SF2I and the SF2I Expansion Pack.

Spitfire MkIXe RAF Desert Air Force mod.
 
These will add an RAF-specific Desert Land Scheme version of the Spitfire LF MkIXe included in the SF2 Israel Expansion Pack. Includes serial numbers for late-build LF.IX aircraft, squadron and individual codes and correct RAF markings for the later part of WW2.
 
This will run only in SF2I or a merged install including SF2I and the SF2I Expansion Pack.

Spitfire MkIXe RAF North West Europe mod.
 
These will add an RAF-specific Day Fighter Scheme version of the Spitfire LF MkIXe included in the SF2 Israel Expansion Pack. Includes serial numbers for late-build LF.IX aircraft, squadron and individual codes and correct RAF markings for the later part of WW2.
 
This will run only in SF2I or a merged install including SF2I and the SF2I Expansion Pack.

3rd Wire SF2 P-51D, USAF Decal Fix, and Data ini Tweeks


 

=For SF2, Full-4 Merged Installs and/or SF2:I, with Expansion Pak 1=


 
This VERY small mod to the P-51D from SF2 Expansion makes a couple of changes to the stock USAFSilver1 skin, adding the tail tag to the vert fin, and NationName to the wings, as is Historically Correct ™ after October, 1947.
 
The data ini tweeks add a landing light, the 3 formation lights under the starboard wing, and activate the canopy via a manual animation key (shift/0).
 
A ww2 pilot figure is included, as I used this figure in the data ini. More appropriate figures would be either of Deigo's USAF50s figures, as by 1948, USAF pilots had done way with the soft leather helmets, and were using the new 'bone domes'. These ARE reccomended replacements.
 
Full, easy to follow instructions are included. You =WILL= be adding a new pilot folder, and a new sub-folder to the game's main /Decals folder for the "U.S. AIR FORCE" tail tag decal.
As always, it's reccomended you read this document through before installing. It's actually QUITE simple, for a change!! <grin>
 
Happy Landings!

IAI Nesher for SF2I
 
This package includes all known single seat Neshers of the IAF. The Nesher was in service from 1971 to 1981 in four different squadrons, three of them before and during the Yom Kippur War, in which the type was used with great success.
By the end of the Yom Kippur War Nesher 510 had shot down 13 enemy aircraft, equalising the record for the highest number of kills for a single Israeli plane, previously held by the Shahaks 58 and 59.
 
No. 101 First Fighter Squadron - 1971-1975
No. 113 Hornet Squadron - 1972-1976
No. 144 Arava Guardians Squadron - 1972-1978

A note on the serial numbers: The historical correct serial numbers in this package include two digit numbers as well as three digit serial numbers. All Neshers were numbered at first with the two digit serial numbers,
but with the arrival of the two seater, the single seat model's serial numbers where changed to 5XX while the two seaters were numbered 6XX.

Israeli Vipers Pt.1: No. 144 Arava Guardians Squadron (1994)
 
This skin pack is for Thirdwire's stock F-16A Netz and depicts the F-16A given to Israel under the Peace Marble IV (FMS) program as a reward for its restraint during the Gulf War.
Most of these aircraft were ex-ANG/AFRes aircraft that retained their USAF air superiority grey color scheme in Israeli service. They joined 144 Squadron at Hatzor AB,
making 144 the biggest fighter squadron in the IDFAF at that time. While at 144 Squadron, they underwent a series of upgrades, bringing them to the standard of the Netz already in service,
including the adaption of the standard Netz paint scheme.

This mod is a quick fix to revise the default camouflage skin to have the early tail codes.
I have used the stock silver skin tail numbers and added the "USAF" above them using a stock Third Wire "USAF" decal.
I have included an Excel spreadsheet listing the tailnumbers included and documenting as much as I know about that tail number.
I have also inlcuded jpg files from the internet that show what quite a few of them really looked like.
There are three basic variations: all white, black "USAF" with white number, and all black.
 
This is a completely separate skin so it does not overwrite any of the stock skins.
It is a copy of the default camo skin with ini edits to use the new tail codes.
 
To install this, simply copy the "Objects" folder extracted from this download to the "Objects" folder of the desired install's mod folder.
This pastes in the new skin for the F-105D and F-105D_66 as well as a new folder for the F-105 tail number decals.
 
This mod may be used by anyone to do anything as long as it does not involve payware.
The base decals were stock Third Wire decals, so they definitely should not end up being reused in any form of payware.

Elek said: "On the right side of the planes, the numbers are indeed in Arabic,
but the letter should also be in Arabic.
It should be the letter "lam" which is the equivalent to the letter "L" in English. They do look similar."
 
He send to me the "lam" font and I have redone the decal set following his hints.
 
Thanks Elek.
