Bloody Hundreth Tanking into the 90s: 100th ARW skin for the KC=135R
This skinpack is a representation of the 100th Air Refueling Wing at RAF Mildenhall during the 1990s. Tracing its lineage back to the 100th Bomb Group of WW2, the 100th has featured nose arts on its tankers throughout the year, often replicating or paying tribute to nose arts from the original Bloody Hundreth

two skins; one 1993 in the Shamu scheme and one 1998 in the AMC grey scheme
decals for both skins including nose arts for all aircraft that had them

    Required

    Installation

    Known Issues
-This is meant as eye candy. unfortunately, SF2 doesnt support air to air refueling so the best to be done is set up a recon mission and then park it in an orbit.
-Also, the C-130 cockpit is not too accurate. it is included mainly so that it can be player selected (i had to test it somehow). remember that there is no air to air refueling in game, so these are more eye candy than operational birds

SF2 RoCAF F-86F Sabre Skin & Decal Pack         10/14/2023
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
This is a new skin for the F-86F-40 available here at CombatAce at the following url:
https://combatace.com/files/file/13788-sf2-f-86f-40-sabre-remod-pak/
This pack is 'representative' of F-86F series Sabres used by the Republic of China Air Force (Taiwan). In truth, the RoCAF had several 86F sub-variants, but eventually almost all were brought up to -40 specs.
All markings, excepting the fuselage and wing ID bands are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE. All serial/buzz numbers are 100% historically accurate for Sabres serving in the RoCAF. They do not, however, replicate any specific or particular squadron. I was unable to run them down accurately enough. You have a "basic" full squadron of 26 numbers.
 
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!!
Happy Landings!

These are my .psd templates (2048x2048) for the stock Thirdwire SF2E A-10 and A-10_78 (use the pave penny texture).
Contains lines, rivets, aircraft parts, weathering, stencils, nose art, camo patterns and the UV layout.
Use the 'A-10_3_4' .psd file to create the skin for both left and right wings.
Jimbib

-Updated panel lines
-Updated riveting
-Block I ECS markings now added.

This is for the Hornet team F/A-18B-D aircraft. Contains basic lines and weathering that I had created for the aircraft for my skins.

--------------- Spitfire for CombatAce ---------------
This is a What-if skin for the Spitfire Mk1 (early) available in the "Spitfire Mk1 & Mk2 (2021)" add-on aircraft pack :
https://combatace.com/files/file/17771-spitfire-mk1-mk2-2021/
This model was made for the CombatAce site.
It cannot be used anywhere else and cannot be part of any payware.
Only to be released at CombatAce site, following the "Freeware Licensing" rules of agreement :

This skin made by Spinners depicts a "what-if" Spitfire Mk1 of the Polish air force, in early WW2 service.

Simple skin pack with a few sets of skins for Navy versions of A-7 Corsair II - A/B/C/E that flew during the air war over Vietnam between 1967-1974.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) 
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
To run this mod you need also access to TW lod files from SF2 Series.
userlist.ini included covering correct years of use of specific models.
Skins cover the years 1967-1974  CVW deployments during Vietnam War. All squadrons year by year.
The pack contains skins and decals. 
Skins sets are made in pairs - two squadrons for CVW for a specific year. 
I could not find all the correct BuNo / Modex but I am considering this as ongoing work in progress, so one day if I will learn something new there will be an update. Also, not all squadrons have CAG markings, sometimes i could not find info on markings...so I left it, again there might be an update if new info appears.
I believe that the pack after unp[backing is around 2.6GB. So make some space for SLUF.
 
All skins, new bump maps, specular, and decals are made by me. 
 
report bugs.
enjoy. 
Jarek Hereda.
 
P.S.
This is huge, a lot of copy-paste for me, all decals.ini, textur.ini, etc...So if you will find that one decal is not showing up or something...just check first - maybe there is some bug in *.ini file. Fix, post solution, etc... So others can benefit from your fix. 
I put a lot of effort and time, and checked everything twice..still gremlins can appear. 
 
PART TWO - OPTIONAL MOD FILES.
This is only for experienced users!
who know how to improve the game for themselves, are not afraid of experimenting, and know how to go back to stock ini files if something is not okay.
This is based on my mod that unifies USN equipment (300 gal tanks, MERs, TERs etc.)
optional mod files include reworked data files - correcting usage of weapons, fuel tanks, etc. adding some specific tanks, and stations for specific launchers adding fake pilot mods etc, 
additional fake pilot mods (legendary fake pilot mod required!)
additional loadout ini files - for a better game experience 
additional weapons by Ravenclaw to cover weapons needed in new loadout ini files.
D704 refueling pod/fuel tank by Nyghtfall from his great A-4 pack.. 
I highly recommend picking up piece by piece from optional mods, testing, and deciding whether to use them or not.
Use the optional mod as a separate mod or as a reference to make your own.

This is a fictional skin to complement the VAQ-562 skin that I released last month. In it you'll find all of the necessary files to use the plane. Simply install it properly and go fly. It can be found under VAQ-562 Line July 2023 in the drop-down menu
