MiG-29 Fulcrum "Baaz" Indian Air Force Skin Pack for Strike Fighters 2
A pack of seven Indian Air Force skins & actual IAF MiG-29 serial numbers pack for Mirage Factory MiG-29A_In model. This has primarily been made for the Indo-Pak mod.
 
It is recommended to update/replace the MiG-29A_In( that came with the Indo-Pak mod) with the one by SF2 updated Mirage Factory/dast24 (link:http://combatace.com/files/file/12489-the-mirage-factory-mig-29-fulcrum-mod)
 
This skin pack would not have been possible without Sundowner's great MiG-29 templates. So credit for these skins got to Sundowner as well.
 
All textures are in jpeg format.
 
Installation
Just drop the contents of the file(Objects folder) to C:\Users\<XXX>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 and let it overwrite existing files.
 
 
Credits
The Mirage Factory : for the excellent MiG-29A_In model
Sundowner : for the superb MiG-29 templates
dast24 : for updated MiG-29s
Indo-Pak mod team: for the excellent Indo-Pak mod.

The sixth and GRAND FINALE skin pack for your F8U-1 Crusader.
 
In February 1958, VF-32 went aboard the newly commissioned USS Saratoga for the carrier's first Mediterranean cruise as part of Carrier Air Wing 3. During that cruise, the Swordsmen took part in the Lebanon Crisis by providing air cover for the landing of 1,800 US Marines at Beruit in July 1958.
 
Included here are the VF-32 'Swordsmen' as they appeared in 1958 during that crisis. The CAG bird (Commander of Air Group) is provided as its own DISTINCT skin.
 
An installation read-me file is included.
 
BONUS!!......a new Loadoutscreen music file!! Can you guess what 1960's era movie and what scene it's from?

departed totally from the Cougar.

Someone requested these, so I'm uploading them.
 
These are HomeGrown ™ templates, based off the original 3W skins, with redrawn panel, rivet lines and some weathering and staining. I've left all my layers intact, so you can use or not use whatever you like!
 
Standard photoshop PSD format. Mapping appears to be identical to the WoE AV-8A/Harrier GR.1 (I haven't really checked this, but it 99.999999999999999%)
no readme, as these are templates, and those that know how to use them, don't need a read me!
 
enjoy!

This is a Skin Pack of the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) F-5F
 
The skin pack is for SF2 merged install.
 
"NOTE" I did not install the May 2011 update from Thirdwire. So it is NOT tested with the new update, not sure if it will make any difference to the skin pack?
 
I also had a plan to have a full aircraft (with tweaks) and the skins on this one, that did not happen.
 
 
 
The Skin Pack consist of the following Squadrons:
 
 
1stFW 206th FS
 
8thFW 103rd FS
8thFW 207th FS
 
10thFW 101st FS
10thFW 201st FS

F-104G Hellenic Air Force Skins
 
These skins are optimized for the stock SF2 F-104G (June2011 Patch level).
I did them, cause I like the Sea Camo and I think we need more skins for
the great Anatolian terrain
 
Credits:
Bobrock for the great temps
Wrench for the Decals of his SF1 Mod
Thirdwire for the great sim
 
Files updated!!!
Caused of some little mistakes in the F-104_3 bitmaps.
 
I hope you like this skins

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!

Meteor F8, RAAF, 77 Squadron Skin/Decal Pak
- For SF2, Full-4 Merged Installs =WITH= Expansion Pak 1 (REQUIRED!) -
 
As stated above, you MUST have -at the very least, SF2:I and Expansion Pak 1 to gain access to the Meteor F8. If you do NOT have these minimum requirements, Do Not Download this Mod, as you'll be unable to use it.
 
This pak contains a skin a decal set replicating Meteor F8s from RAAF 77 Squadron, 1951-ish time frame, during the Korean War. The serial numbers are 100% historicaly accurate for
those airframes assigned 77 Sqdn during Korea. Number randomization has been activated, so make sure you're at LEAST at the June, 2011 patch level. Three historical Korean-Era nose arts are included. They are 'name listed' next to their serial numbers, selectable from the drop-down on the Loadout Screen.
 
Several inis are also included, as I've made some changes to loadouts (making sure the belly tank is ALWAYS loaded), data ini and year-adjusted Userlist ini. The data ini also as the canopy activated; as usual, use Shift/0 to open and close it.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....Also, it's advisable to read the "Notes" section for important comments, other instructions and general rambling.
 
Good Hunting!

USAFE Deuce Skinpack 14 Skins 14
 
Here I remade mostly for NATO 5+ use my Razbam F-102 Skinpack for Veltro's one.
The skin folders name are the same so in a camp is granted the F-102A use.
 
We really haven't yet a definitive F-102A as both have some unsolved issues:
 
- Razbam's F-102A has a bad shadow shape
- Veltro's F-102A has bad unfinished wheels
 
I made my best with skins but none of the above plane makers
(the payware, too), as I asked several times, wanted to fix.
 
I hoped that almost Veltro could fix, to gain the perfetion for his masterpiece,
but at last, as he doesn't seem intersted, I decided to upload these skins anyway.
 
 
As I have both, I currently use Veltro's one (even with bugged wheels)
with Raz's cockpit.
 
BTW now the choice is Yours!

ANG KC-135R StratoTanker Skins Second Set
 
Contained within this pack are skins for the following ANG units:
 
168th ARW - Alaska ANG
127th WG - Michigan ANG
190th ARW - Kansas ANG
92nd ARW - Fairchild AFB
108th ARW - New Jersey ANG
 
Please follow the readme for install instructions.
 
The 92nd ARW is not an ANG squadron, but I love their Seahawks tail art, so I added them in anyways.
 
The artwork is to the best of my ability.
 
Thanks to the following:
 
- TK and Thirdwire
- 'Dave' for the following:
- For the KC-135R model original release.
- The 'ANG' on the tail and the ANG emblem on all of the skins were taken from the KC-135E model.
- Due to lack of references on the tail numbers, all of the skins in this pack use the KC-135E tail numbers.
- DWCACE for detailed KC-135R photos
 
- airliners.net, airfighters.com, and af.mil for skin references

Spitfire PR.MkXI, RAF, 1943-45
 
The unarmed MkXI photographic reconnaissance Spitfire came into service in early 1943, and was basically a modified MkIX airframe with a MkVIII retractable tailwheel and fittings for three cameras. Further modifications included leading edge fuel tanks and a larger oil tank in an enlarged chin fitted below the Rolls-Royce Merlin 61, 63, 63A or 70 engine. Early aircraft kept the original rounded rudder, while the second production batch had the later pointed type.
 
The serial numbers included in this pack correspond to early production MkXI aircraft with the rounded rudder, all built during late 1942 or early 1943. As such, they can be used for missions dating from February 1943 until the end of the War. As PR Spitfires did not carry squadron codes, any PRU/PR Squadron may be represented.
 
 
For use ONLY with SF2 including the Israel Expansion Pack. This will NOT work if you do not have the stock TW Spitfires installed and working.

F-16A Falcon, Generic USAF/NATO Gray Skin/Decal/Ini Pak
 
= For SF2, Full-4 Merged Required =*
 
*Note: at minimum, you =MUST= have SF2:I, as this mod references the cockpit, aircraft and other required items =ONLY= found within a Full-4 or SF2:I. If you don't meet these minimium criteria, don't D/L this, as you wont be able to use it*
 
This package expands on the work of MigBuster and others, and will allow for the creation of a stock 3W F-16A (probably Blks 1-10, although I'm not as 'up' on Falcon block numbers as I should be...).
A complete set of inis are included, fully updated as of Nov, 2011. Newly added is a Userlist.ini, although this may need expansion/clarification of StartYear dates. Changes are welcomed and encourged! -Remember, this is the Early Production A model only!!
 
All new Hangar and Loading screens are included. The canopy operates via a manual animation key (Shift/0, as always).
Other Ini edits remove the internal jammer, and add one to the external centerline position, and other small Loadout modifications. See "Notes" below for more info.
 
It should be noted at this time, that seperate from the main section of this download, are 'fixed' Decal and Textureset inis for MigBuster's F-16A skins. These skins are NOT included. You can find them in the SF2 Aircraft Skins download section (links are supplied in the "To Install" section below). BE ADVISED: install his -first!!-, then add the inis I've supplied. See below for more info on the "MigBuster Skin Fixes" in the "To Install" section.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! Also, don't forget the "Notes" section for expansive esplainations and other illuminations.
 
Happy Landings!

Ethiopian AF Su-27 Flanker Skin Pak 2/10/2011
 
= For SF2, Any and All =
 
A new skin/decal pak for the Marcfighters Su-27, representing EtAF Flankers from the late 1990s to the present.
 
A new "Userlist.ini" is included (may not be fully accurate, and changes/updates are welcomed!), as well as slightly tweeked data, avionics and cockpit inis (made some general fixes in regards to things not working/missing/fitting quite right). Weapons are NOT included, so you'll need the GunnyPak or some other full WeaponsPak for SF2. You also =MUST= have the Su-27 in your game install (doh!) to install this pak to.
 
These skins have been partly repainted (with redrawn panel and rivet lines) in several areas to remove the painted-on markings creating a 'blank' canvas to allow for the use of decals for ALL markings. The side effect of that, is other countries can easily be created by simple edits of the decals ini. On this version, as stated above, ALL the markings used here are decals. Serial numbers are 'best guess' based on the limited information (both text and photographic) available.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
 
Happy Landings!

Ejército del Aire F-104G - ALA-12

The Spanish Air Force received their F-104s under the Military Assistance Program: 18 Canadair-built F-104Gs
and three Lockheed-built TF-104Gs were delivered under MAP to Spain's Ejército del Aire in 1965.
These aircraft were transferred to Greece and Turkey when they were replaced by F-4 Phantoms in 1972.
It is notable that no aircraft were lost through accidents during 17,000 hours of operational use in Spain
although it should also be noted that the aircraft was used only in its intended role of an interceptor and
mainly in very good flying weather.
 
Ejército del Aire:
 
-Ala 6 based at Torrejon (later redesignated Ala 16); 61 Escuadron (later redesignated 161 and 104 Escuadron)

Thank you for downloading the Mid- and Low-vis generic skin pack and the corrective decal pack for the Thirdwire F-14A and F-14A_77.for the Thirdwire Productions F-14A_77. This pack was made to provide low and medium visibility markings for all squadrons on the stock squadron list.
 
These decals would not be possible without TK and Thirdwire for creating SF2:NA and in some cases providing some of the artwork here than has been modified to suit the demands of this pack.
 
Further recognition goes to SuperScale International, Fightertown, Aeromaster, Eagle Strike, FCM, Afterburner, and Custom Aeronautical Miniatures for producing model decals that made good reference material, and to Torsten Anft, Peter Davies, Lou Drendel, Paul Gilchrist, Dave Brown, and many others for their published works and photographs.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
Requirements: Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic.
 
 
Installation:
 
1: drop the Objects folder into your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder.
 
2: Enjoy how you will.
 
 
Known Issues:
 
1: VF-111 is missing the shark mouth.
A: Without the .out file to determine what the meshname for the nose is, I have decided to exclude this decal for the time being. I will add it once the .out is available.
 
 
2: The squadron markings don't look any different from one skin to the next.
A: In many cases, squadron markings didn't change for years. Some squadrons went from high-vis to early low-vis with drastic changes while others never altered their tail art. Some of these squadrons came along after the high-vis period was over and didn't so much as change Air Wings for an entire decade or more. If you see a repeat in squadron decals, that's because that's just how it was.

Requirements: Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic.
 
 
Installation:
 
1: drop the Objects folder into your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder. Allow to overwrite as neccessary.
 
2: Enjoy how you will.
 
 
Known Issues:
 
1: VF-1 and VF-111 are still missing decals.
A: I know. VF-1 is missing it's fuselage stripe and VF-111 does not have the shark mouth. The VF-1 stripe runs along the forward fuselage and passes through a modex number that is placed noticably lower that the modex in other squadrons. This would have negated the generic qualities of these skins. The VF-111 shark mouth on the nose would require adding a new decal data bloc and experimenting with placement. I may yet add this decal later should modders be given access to the .out files with future patches.
 
1a: Squadron X is still missing decal Y.
A: Probably because they didn't have it during the time period modeled. VF-11 for example didn't have their squadron number on the ventral fins in the early 80's. They had it on the tail, and it's already present in the existing artwork.
 
 
2: A lot of these look like the decals I had already.
A: Yes. That just means that there wasn't any problem with the original decal.
