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.
 
 
Enjoy 1.1

V. 1.1 (25.10.12)
 
- decals fixed
- droptanks and speculars added
- number randomized
- canopy open (key 10)

Three skins for ThirdWire's original F-4J from SF2V, showing them as they were painted during the SEA Linebacker campaign in 1972. These are:
 
VF-31 Tomcatters
VF-92 Silverkings
VF-114 Aardvarks
 
Original real life Bu. No. from that cruise are included. The MiG Killers among them are:
 
BuNo 7249 NH206, VF-114, crew Robert Hughes and Adolph Cruz
BuNo 7245 NH201, VF-114, crew Kenneth Pettigrew and Michael McCabe
BuNo 7269 NG211, VF-92, crew Curtis Dose and James McDevitt
BuNo 7307 AC106, VF-31, crew Samuel Flynn and William John
 
These skins are heavily based on those Ravenclaw_007 did for WoV, e.g.
 
http://forum.combatace.com/files/file/8226-f-4j-vf-33-tarsiers/
 
which were again based on Sundowner's famous hi-res template, e.g.
 
http://www.column5.us/phantoms.htm
 
Thus big kudos to them!
 
I just took pieces from both, cleaned them up and made my own templates, modified them and added all bits to fit the mapping of the new meshes from SF2V. Made new decals… et voilà.
Textures are 1024*1024 size.

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
No. 253 The Negev Squadron - 1976-1981
 
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.
 
INSTALLATION:
Extract the content of the archive and put the Objects folder into your SF2I mod folder.
In case you can't see the full names of each skin in the loadout menu (lower screen resolution), navigate to the the folder named "optional" and copy the Objects folder to your SF2I mod folder. Let overwrite when asked.

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!

This one is the template to create another skins, separated by layers, with a layer called "Wireframe", made to you to see where the UWV mapping was made. don't use this layer when exporting
BTW, i'm not that good in the mapping, so any problems are entirely my fault
