SF2 P-47N Thunderbolt Post WW2 USAAF/USAF & Air National Guard Skins Pack       6/20/2019
-For SF2, (Full 5 Merged Reccomended)-
This is a package for post-WW2 and Air National Guard squadrons that flew the P/F-47N Thunderbolt in the years from 1946-1954. These are for V.2 of Russ's N-Jug. All skins are in jpg format.
You can find Version 2.0 of Russ' P-47N at the following URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/13202-p-47n-157z/
The skins included herein for Regular USAAF/USAF units are:
37th/48th/49th FS, 14th FG
99th/100th/301st FS, 477th CG/332nd FG
The other skins included here are for the Air National Guards of the following states: 
Connecticut
Delaware
Georgia
Hawaii (Territory of)
Massachusetts
Pennsylvania
Puerto Rico (Territory of)
The USAAF/USAF had divided the country at the Mississippi River, and had P-51 Mustang ANG units in the west, and P-47D/N units in the east. This is why this set only has Thunderbolts, and all are Eastern States. 
They are displayed on the Squadron Selection Drop-down window on the Loading Screen, as below:
37th/48th/49th FS 14FG (1946-48)
99th/100th/301st FSs 332nd FG (1945-48)
118th FS, 103rd FG (CT ANG 1946-52)
142nd FS (DE ANG 1946-54)
128th FS (GA ANG 1947-51)
199th FS (HI ANG 1946-54)
101st FS (MA ANG 1947-51)
146th FS, 112th FG (PA ANG 1947-51)
198th FS (PR ANG 1947-55)
Operational dates are rounded to the closest full year. The SF2 'date switch' is =NOT= used on any of these skins, as they overlap each other. End users (tm) will have to make any changes manually on the Loadout Screen for their flightmates.
A new data ini, with vastly improved FM and engine parameters (Now! With WEP!) is included. Some minor adjustments in hit boxes, armor, fuel tanks, etc have been performed. The operational years remain the same, so WW2 PTO users need not worry. Just drop it in. A backup copy of the original data ini is included, as a safety measure. It should be noted, Stary's superb Late WW2 cockpit -HIGHLY reccomended for this bird- is NOT included. If there is enough interest, I can add it to this, and upload an update. Or update the basic WW2 aircraft package.
Other than special squadron markings (color bands and the like) all  markings are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE. Each squadron has 26 serial and 'Buzz number' decals. On the individual aircraft select drop down, for all skins, any marked with a star (*) are been 100% positively identified as having served in that unit. Any not marked should be considered generic in nature as they don't actually represent aircraft from any particular unit, but are late production block P-47Ns. Please see the "Notes" section for information regarding the 332nd & 14th FGs. They are treated as special cases. A reminder -- this package =ONLY= contains American users (USAF & ANG). None of the export customers are included. Nor are any weapons or pilot figures included. You should have them already.
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. As there exists an eariler version of these skins/decals, you will want to delete them or back them up to a different location entirely =BEFORE= installing these. Also, PLEASE read the "Notes" for further explainitory words on hows and whys.

Happy Landings!

Redrawn Lines, Rivets, etc.. for the Geo's F8F Bearcat.
It can be used for SF1 or SF2.
Add your own paint, dirt, details, decals and weathering...
I can't remember why I made this template (I must have had some extra rivets laying around) as there are already some excellent skins for this plane by Geo, Pappychksix, paulopanz and Wrench and much of this template was based on some of those skins. 
This is a WIP-Finish-It-Yourself template and is in Photoshop .psd format at 2048 pixels. It has redrawn lines, rivets and various bits. It can be reduced for those with low spec computers. It's still a bit rough around the edges, but you can smooth out any rough edges to your desires.
-----------------------------
If you want to make the lines and rivets darker or lighter, this template allows you to do that by adjusting the opacity of the lines, rivets or any layer of this file. You can also 'Click' off any layer you don't wish to use, such as the rivets layer if you don't wish to have any rivets. To use it you must have a paint program that reads/modifies .psd files.
Then you can adjust the specular, glossiness and/or reflection entries in the skin's texture.ini file to get the skin to your liking.
I use the poor mans' method of bump mapping. I don't have the needed software or skills to create real bump maps. I use two template layers: one black the other white. The white layer is below the black layer and offset one pixel up or down and one pixel left or right. Then adjust the opacity of each layer to create a 'shadow' effect. When done right it gives the illusion it's 3D.
---------------------------
Credit and Thanks to Geo for this nifty little jet.
I'm releasing this under the Combat Ace Fair Use Agreement. Use it anyway you wish for personal use.  For any other use, please contact me first. 
If you find any problems with it, please PM me.  If you improve it, please PM me a copy. 
Thanks to all who are helping me learn to skin by direct involvement and/or by inspiration.
If I forget or miss anyone who deserves credit for anything I release, I apologize.  I have no intent to abuse or misuse anyone's property or claim it as my own.  Please contact me to correct any error.

Redrawn Lines, Rivets, etc.. for ErikGen's F-80/T-33/F-94 SF2 KAW set.
Add your own paint, dirt, details and weathering.
I made these templates so I could make natural metal/aluminum skins for these planes.
------------
These templates are more like WIPs. They are a bit rough and can use some improvement. They could use some organizing. I don't think I'll be doing anymore to them, so feel free to improve them in any way you wish.
These templates are Photoshop .psd files at 2048 pixels. They have redrawn lines, rivets and various bits. They can be reduced for those with low spec computers.
Soulfreak has released an excellent Hi-Rez RT-33A template for the 2 seater Shooting Star at 4096 pixels.
------------
If you want to make the lines and rivets darker or lighter, this template allows you to do that yourself by adjusting the opacity of the lines, rivets or any layer of this file. You can also 'Click' off any layer you don't wish to use, such as the rivets layer, if you don't wish to have any rivets. To use it you must have a paint program that reads/modifies .psd files.

SF2 P/F-61B Black Widow, 319th F(AW)S Skins Pack       7/2/2019
-For SF2, (Full 5 Merged Reccomended)-
This is a new skin & decal set for Veltro2K's P-61 Black Widow Night/All Weather interceptor. 
This skin represents the 318th Fighter (All Weather) Squadron from 1946-1948. They were (originally) based at Mitchell Field (AFB) Long Island, NY, as part of the newly formed Air Defence Command. They and several other night/all weather and day fighter squadrons were responsible for the defence of the northeastern United States. In 1948, they moved to McChord AFB, Washington, transistioned to F-82 Twin Mustangs, and took on Northwest Air Defense duties.
The skin is in jpg format. All markings are decals. 26 new P-61B serial and Buzz numbers were created for this mod. The serials ARE for late production block 61Bs, but should be considered generic in nature as they represent no particular aircraft from any specific unit. Decal randomization is TRUE. Included is a hangar screen for this skin, too! The SF2 'date switch' is used to turn on this skin in 1946.
Also included is a new data and avionics inis. A new more compliant FM has been built, and many engine parameters have been adjusted (NOW! With WEP!!). The avionics ini, given game limitations, should be more in line with the actual workings of the SCR-720 air intercept radar. A backup copy of the data ini is included, for safety's sake. (always back up!!). See "Notes" below for a complete listing, and explainitions.
You must have the original P-61B from either you WW2 installs or a new download from the following URL to apply this skin set to:
https://combatace.com/files/file/14739-northrop-p-61-black-widow-pack/
Remember, this is a POST-war skin. The data ini has operational dates adjusted (corrected) accordingly.  
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. Might want to give the "Notes & Other Nonsense" section a once over, as well! :)
Good Hunting!

SF2 P-47N Thunderbolt 36th FBS, KAW "What If" Skins Pack       6/22/2019
-For SF2, (Full 5 Merged Reccomended)-
This is a 'What If' skin for the P-47N Thunderbolt by RussoUK. It represents the
36th FBS, 51st FG if said unit had been equipped with Jugs during the Korean War.
It is to be applies to V.2 of Russ's Jug. If you don't have it, You can find
Version 2.0 of Russ' P-47N at the following URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/13202-p-47n-157z/
The aircraft is painted in "silver lacquer" and carries the same style of tail
markings as seen on their Real Life (tm) F-80C Shooting Stars used in Korea. All
new serial and buzz number decals were created. The serials, while generic in
nature, are correct for the late model P-47Ns. Decal randomization is TRUE.  Let it
be known that the SF2 Date Switch is =NOT= used on this skin*. A new more "chewed
up looking" damage tga is also included. When in-game, on the Loadout Screen's Skin
Selection Dropdown window, you'll see:
36th FBS (What-If, KAW 1950)
Remember, you'll have to change the skin for all members in your flight.
Once upon a time, there was a 1stGen version of this aircraft/skin that I did (mid
2000s???) but it dosen't seem to exist in the CA downloads anymore. So, this is a
full replacement. If any of you End Users (tm) still have it, you are instructed to
delete both the original skin and decals.
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. Might want to give
the "Notes & Other Nonsense" section a once over, as well! :)
*=see 'Notes' for information on how to create a post-war F-47N

Happy Landings!

In 2003-2004 Poland received 22 MiG-29 aircraft from Germany, including 4 MiG-29GTs (German version of a MiG-29UB 9-51 two-seater). In 2015 the aircraft no. 4105 received a special paintscheme in honor of brigadier general Stanisław Skalski - the top Polish fighter ace of the WW2 and the first Allied fighter ace of the war.
This mod contains the abovementioned special 4105 skin. To install, unpack the zip archive and paste the contents of "to mod folder" folder into your game's mod folder. Read the Knowledge Base for further instructions on installing mods etc.
