The Hunter F.2, which used the Armstrong-Siddeley Sapphire engine, did not suffer from engine issue. Further problems occurred; ejected cannon ammunition links had a tendency to strike and damage the underside of the fuselage, and diverting the gas emitted by the cannon during firing was another necessary modification. The original split-flap airbrakes caused adverse changes in pitch trim and were quickly replaced by a single ventral airbrake. This meant, however, that the airbrake could not be used for landings.Only 45 planes were built and entered in service only with 257 and 263 squadrons.

The Hunter F.1 entered service with the Royal Air Force in July 1954. It was the first high-speed jet aircraft equipped with radar and fully powered flight controls to go into widespread service with the RAF.
The Hunter replaced the Gloster Meteor, the Canadair Sabre, and the de Havilland Venom jet fighters in service. Initially, low internal fuel capacity restricted the Hunter's performance, giving it only a maximum flight endurance of about an hour. A tragic incident occurred on 8 February 1956, when a flight of eight Hunters was redirected to another airfield due to adverse weather conditions.
Six of the eight aircraft ran out of fuel and crashed, killing one pilot. Another difficulty encountered during the aircraft's introduction was the occurrence of surging and stalling with the Avon engines.

Spitfire F.22, Southern Rhodesian Air Force for SF2
This will work only if you have installed DLC No. 29 AI Aircraft Pack 2, including the Spitfire F.22. Without this pack installed, you will not have the necessary model files.
The SRAF received 22 Mark 22 Spitfires from Britain in 1951, and these were used to form two fighter squadrons until 1954 when they began to be replaced with Vampires. The final Spitfire was withdrawn in 1956; most aircraft were sold on to Syria, although SR64 and SR65 remained in Rhodesia. SR64 was subsequently rebuilt and restored to airworthiness but crashed in 1982, killing its pilot.
This uses an essentially unmodified data.ini and loadout.ini as supplied in the initial DLC pack.Nationality entries have been changed to read 'Rhodesia' but are otherwise unchanged.
Serials include 20 of the known serials for the two batches of Spitfires.
There is some disagreement about the actual colour of these aircraft; some say High-Speed Silver, others pale grey-blue. I believe both are probably correct, as the aircraft will have been delivered in RAF Silver and may subsequently have been painted pale blue.

The cockpit is by Kesselbrut and used with gratitude in accordance with the CA fair use agreement.
I have no idea where the pilot came from, but thank you anyway!

RAF Typhoon FGR4 Skinpack
This pack is designed to replace/update the decals provided as part of Brain 32’s SF2 release of Bongodrivers EF2000 Typhoon
In addition it will also update my previous skins/decals for the Typhoon and add 2 new Squadrons – 1(F) Squadron and 41 Squadron.
You need to have the original add-on aircraft installed to use this pack – it can be downloaded from
http://combatace.com/files/file/9332-ef-2000-eurofighter-sf2/
Recommended Install Instructions:-
As this pack changes the installed decals and reflects the current equipment levels of the Squadrons represented within I strongly suggest that the following steps are used to install the pack.
Install the original add-on to the SF2 saved game/mod directory of your choice.
Open the Objects/Decals/Typhoon folder in your saved game folder
Delete all the RAF skin folders (3 sqn, 11 sqn, 17 sqn and 29 sqn)
Open the RAF Typhoon FGR4 Skinpack and extract the objects folder inside.
Copy the objects folder to your saved game folder and allow it to merge with the existing objects folder. Allow any file overwrites.
Load up the version of SF2 you have installed it to and ENJOY.
All credit deservedly goes to Bongodriver for the original and Brain 32 for converting it to SF2.

This is a VAQ-129 skin of the EA-6B.
DISCLAIMER:
The skin is not exact due to mainly texture mapping limitations of the SF2:NA Prowler, particularly around the intake area and nose area. I want to thank Wrench and HomeFries for supplying me with the necessary templates in order for me to make this happen.
That said, the skin is only for the TW Prowler, which comes with SF2:NA. Just drop the folder in the appropriate directory and it can be selected as "CoNA" for the AI if so configured. If you are using the EA-6B Super Pack by HomeFries then it would go in the EA-8B_98 folder (ICAP III) but can be used in any of the versions in that pack.

6 Squadron Skins for Eurofighter Typhoon
Credit for the original model goes top Bongodriver and Brains 32 for converting this to SF2.
The original skins were produced by Sundowner.
These are the guys who deserve the credit for the aircraft.
This pack adds decals for the 19 single seat FGR 4 aircraft currently based at RAF Leuchars in Fife. It does not include details for the 2 T3 aircraft operated by 6 Squadron.
To install simply unpack and drop into your mod folder.
Enjoy :-)
Note: - You need to have Brains 32's conversion of Bongodriver's Typhoon installed.

DELETE THE OLD HILL AFB SKINS FOR THE UPDATED ONES TO SHOW UP
Updated Hill AFB skins for the SF2 F-105D
This is an update for Daddyairplanes´ Hill Afb Skins (http://combatace.com/files/file/13741-f-105d-hill-afb-skins/) that I did, and are uploaded with DAs permission. The main changes from the previous version are added details and weathering as well as restoring missing rivet and panel lines.
So 90% of the credit goes to Daddyairplanes, I only did a visual tuneup.
Happy flying,

ORIGINAL README:
Semi Historical Hill AFB F-105D Skins
The 466th TFS, USAF Reserve, was lhe last operator of the F-105 Thunderchief.
They flew their last mission before converting to the F-16A in 1983. Due to how
long they flew the 'Thud' and their proximity to Ogden Air Logistics Center,
where many aircraft go to be repainted, they flew 3 Thuds in colors other than
the traditional SEA camo. Those schemes (SEA Wraparound, European 1, and a one
off Desert scheme based on the pattern of the first two) are represented here.
Also provided are black tailcode for the 466th ('HI') and 50 black serial numbers.
Sorry only 50 as the Thud was getting rarer by that time. The first 10 serials are
historical with the first 3 being the ones used by the aircraft so painted. the other
40 numbers are redone TW serials spanning FY59-62.
This is not a completely accurate rendition, the pattern is different than T.O. 1-1-4
states for SEA Wraparound and Euro 1. What I did was to wraparound the stock skin, then
swap the colors (as was done IRL). I also did not do the nose art's for the aircraft
due to other commmitments, and lack of time.
Much credit goes to :
ludo.54m for his templates, which allowed me more freedom to color while keeping the
panel lines and rivets
Soulfreak, both for the idea and material support with references
TK for the stock bird and decals
the greater CA community for support and education over the years
Included in the mod are
Desert, Euro 1 and SEA Wraparound skins
my Expanded Squadronlist.ini, which puts 466th TFS as selectable in menu
the Photoshop templates I used to create this mod.
Installation
unzip the files, copy and paste to the appropriate folders. Allow merging of
Aircraft and Decal folders. Enjoy
Thank you for downloading this mod!

This pack contains the 2 templates you'll need for reskinning the SF2NA Prowler.
This pak contains ONLY psd templates for:
EA-6B_texture3
EA-6B_texture6
as the mapping on the others (1,2,4,5) use the same as the standard A-6. So, don't forget to get the templates for A-6E TRAM, also available someplace within this section (SF2, Utlities/Tools)
As they stand, they're quite basic. As always, further improvements and enhancements are WELCOMED and more than encouraged!!
Happy Skinning:
