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. 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.

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.
