SF2 F-102A (v2k) 159th FIS Fl ANG Skin & Decal Pack 7/14/2021
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
This package contains a replacement skin and decal set for Veltor2K's F-102A Delta Dagger. This skin represents the 159th Fighter Interceptor Squadron "Boxin' Gators" of the Florida Air National Guard from 1960 thru 1974. The original skin is found in the "Operation Tainted Cigar" campaign.
The remake of this skin was inspired by some screenshots Viggen posted in the CA SF2 Screenshots thread. Since the decaling was totally inaccurate, I took it upon myself to "make it correct".
26 all new, 100% historically accurate serial number decals were created, including the correct Air National Guard fuselage tag. Decal randomization is TRUE.
On the skin/unit selection drop down menu, on the Loadout screen you'll see:
159th FIS FL ANG (60-74)
With luck, this change will not effect the OTC campaign data ini. If so, End Users (tm) may have to do a little text editing to correct the skin's folder name or displayed name in campaign data ini. I don't know enough about campaign structure to give any real advice.
As is always recommended, 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!

SF2NA TMF F-14A_82 VF-41-84 '86 Cruise Skins
Tested in SF2NA, Full-5 Merged and based on Blackburn32 and 1977Frenchie ODS 30th Anniversary great skins.
During the past Winter-Spring lockdown I've tried to create some skins for the The Mirage Factory Tomcats in order to match the correct markings for the Squadrons included in my modded installation of SF2NA ( Exp Pack, Med Crisis and North Cape) finishing to realize "new" skins for other planes, in one case for the whole Air Wing!
These mini Pack comprised the correct markings for the VF-41 and VF-84 1986 cruise aboard USS Nimitz to be used with the The Mirage Factory F-14A_82,to be used in the SF2NA expansion
Almost all the decals was done by me, with very few modified ones from the starting skins.
==========
To Install:
As always ,all in the relative folders in your game(s)

Credits:
TMF, Blackburn32 and 1977Frenchie for the F-14A and skins
Me for the decals and the small improvements
If I've forgot someone, let me know please!
------------
Know issue:
I tried to be the more historically precise as possible, but I miss some squadron Bu.Nos/modexes and prefered to not add any fictious solutions.
The VF-84 skipper jet was a Hi-viz bird for which I realized a separate skin that can be selected in the Briefing screen dropdown menù, Anyway,I've included also the Lo-Viz markings for this plane ( as other line bird) 'cause my research showed the same Bu.No. with both markings, probably a pre- and during Cruise livery, I left at the single player the choice!

SF2 F-102A (v2k) 64th FIS Skin & Decal Pack 7/4/2021
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
This package contains all 2 new skins for Veltor2K's F-102A Delta Dagger. They represent the 64th Fighter Interceptor Squadron "Scorpions" from 1956 thru 1969.
Within this package you'll find:
ADC Grey (56-66) when the squadron was based at McChord AFB, WA, and when assigned to PACAF from Clark AFB, PI.
SEA 3 Tone (66-69) when based at Tan Shon Nut, RVN, Clark AFB and in South Korea during the Pueblo Crisis.
Almost all markings are decals, excepting the ADC Grey's tail badge. I experimented with a decal, it didn't look as good as it should have. So, going against my usual practice, it's painted on the fin. All 26 serial/buzz numbers are 100% historically accurate for this squadron, for -both- skins. The 3-tone SEA camo has the proper Tail Code assigned when the squadron was based in the Phillipines and Southeast Asia (Vietnam era), and correct serial presentation. Decal randomization is TRUE. As this unit is listed in the game's SquadronList.ini, their displayed name is activated via my (patent pending) fake "SqTail.tga", and will be visible on the Loadout Screen.
The SF2 "date switch" is only used on the SEA 3 tone skin with a 1965 start date.
Also included is a (slightly) upgraded AIM-4F Falcon missile, station specific coded for the F-102A.
As is always recommended, 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!!!

SF2 F-102A (v2k) Skin & Decal Remod Pack 6/19/2021
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
This package contains all new, corrected decals for Veltro2k's F-102A Delta Dagger. This mod package is designed to be applied to MigBuster's Upgraded Version available at the following URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/9446-f-102a-delta-dagger-veltro2k/
Several of the skins have also recieved replacement skin maps, and the changes are documented in the "Notes" below. These adjusted skins remain in bmp format. Repeat: this is upgrading =ONLY= the skins & replacing decals that came in that package. The units are:
57th FIS (62-73)
317th FIS, AkAC (56-69)
176th FIS WI ANG (66-74)
196th FIS CA ANG (65-74)
431st FIS USAFE (58-64)
460th FIS ADC (58-66)
509th FIS SEA Camo (68<)
and a NEW skin
509th FIS (>1968) in ADC grey, as used in PACAF & SEA before the application of the 3 tone camo.
The years presented in the above, will also be seen in the game's Loading Screen, on the Skin Selection Drop-Down Menu.
Most national insignia are still painted on. All serials & buzz numbers are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Each skin has 26 serial numbers. With few exceptions, =ALL= serials are historically correct for EACH squadron. If all could not be found, 'generic' serials and buzz numbers are used. These are identified by the star (*) symbol. If it does NOT have star, it is 100% correct. Any squadrons that are listed in the game's SquadronList.ini have had their displayed name activated via my (patent pending) fake "SqTail.tga", and will be visible on the Loadout Screen. Also, due to many having painted on insignia, a hidden "Insignia" decal is used to activate the displayed Nation Name.
The SF2 "date switch" is only used on 2 skins; the oldest (317th) with a '1' start date, and the later (509th camo) with a 1968 start date. Any others, which most of them DO fall in-between these two, End Users (tm) will have to select for themselves.

PER READ ME :
SF2 O-1E RCAF Service
A bit of history :
Cessna 305 Bird Dog, L-19E (Serial Nos. 16717-16735).
The Canadian Army originally called No. 1 Air Observation Post No. 1 Air Observation Post Flight (Type A) (Army Component), Royal Canadian Artillery. This was changed to No. 1 Air Observation Post Flight (Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery) on 15 Feb 1957. Both used the same abbreviation of No. 1 AOP Flt.
No. 1 AOP moved to Hemer, Germany in March 1960 at Fort Prince of Wales and where it was redesignated as No. 1 Air Observation Post Troop. They were attached to the 1st Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery as part of 4 Canadian Infantry Brigade Group. No. 1 AOP Tp moved to Lahr in southern Germany in 1970 with the rest of the Brigade and on 1 Oct 1972, No. 1 AOP Tp and the three other Army aviation elements within 4 CMBG; including the Command and Liaison Flight 4 CMBG HQ, Aircraft Repair Platoon 4 Service Battalion and Helicopter Reconnaissance Troop, C Squadron Royal Canadian Dragoons, were amalgamated and became No. 444 Tactical Helicopter Squadron.

**NOTE: you have to get the SF2 Cessna O-1E BirdDog Upgrade Pak -for 3rdWire O-1E- located at : https://combatace.com/files/file/12268-cessna-o-1e-birddog-upgrade-pak-for-3rdwire-o-1e/ in order to make this work as it's not a completed plane that is included, just the files to add the RCAF schemes/Sqn.
Serials and units are the real one's for the O-1E in service with the RCAF
Royal Canadian Air Force :

*** Make a back-up of the original files if you do not like the current work ***
- Delete the Objects/Decals/O-1E/Canada folder
- Delete the Objects/Aircraft/O-1E/Canada folder
Copy/Paste the /Objects folder DIRECTLY into the SF2 game install of choice's /Objects folder. It's already divided into the /Aircraft and /Decals sub-folders.
.ini editing :
- In the ORIGINAL O-1E.ini, remove the [TextureSet???] associated with the Canada nation from the file.
- Add the entries from the O-1E.ini file of this pack and change numbers in the sequence accordingly in order for the whole thing to work as intended.

The mod includes tail, unit and nose markings for 17 F-15A squadrons (plus two later sets for the FISs) as operated during the 1980s.
NOTE
I say this is a semi historical mod. To save myself research time, it uses modified TW serials. the numbers are the same, i just reduced the opacity to fit the look of the markings better.
Included
Objects folder with needed Aircraft and Decal folders
Required
StrikeFighters2: Europe for the stock F-15
Installation
unzip. move objects folder to the mod folder of your choice. allow overwrites if needed (shouldnt be any but in case,)
Credits
TW: original serial number, F-15 squadron tail, and innner tail tga, textures
daddyairplanes: upscaling, tweeking, and opacity reduction of TW unit markings, new markings, skin folders by unit, and conversion of texture from bmp to jpg
i hope you enjoy this simple little mod. It satarted with me taking a look in my old mod folders, prior to loading up new installs
i didnt like what i saw, so i changed it. But maybe you will like this addition too.
