SF2 A-4E Skyhawk, VMA-211 "Wake Island Avengers" Skin/Decal Pak 6/17/2014
 
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
 
A new skin for VMA-211; this is inspired by a request by a CombatAce member that used to work for them. Also, it allows us to have a fully updated SF2 version of a skin set originally by Paul "FOTF" Nortness, that now longer works in SF2.
 
This is for the standard, or garden variety A-4E Skyhawk (no *year" suffix). However, they can be used on the 65, 67 and possibly on the A-4F by renaming the maps to match to lod's naming convention.
 
All new decals, excepting one left over from the 1stGen skin, were created for this mod. The skin maps themselves are in jpg format.
ALL markings are decals. Decal randomization has been set to "TRUE".
Also included is my modified Loadout ini, that has "increased" striking power for all mission statements. My Data ini is also included, that adds the Landing Light, and opening canopy (Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0).
 
When on the Loadout Screen, in the "Paint Scheme" dropdown, you'll see:
 
VMA-211 "Wake Island Avengers" (FOTF)
 
The Stock 3W skin is still available, but is accessed from the Unit Selection dropdown. This one should not conflict with the stock one. At least it didn't for me during testing.
The (FOTF) is a nod to Paul, as part of the inspiration to rebuild this to the lastest spec (and that I reused on of his decals, albeit slightly modified).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
 
Happy Landings!

EDIT:
a small oopsy! I uploaded the wrong zip, that was an earlier test version.
This has been corrected, and the zip contains the correct decals and the repositioned badges.
My apologies to all.
Unfortunately, you'll have to redown this mod.
When installing, just allow the overwrite

Redrawn Panel Lines and Rivets Templates for the TW SF2 MiG- 17.
These were redrawn over the ThirdWire SF2 MiG-17 SOVIETSILVER1 skin.

SF2 DLC #19: A-4L Skyhawk Skins/Ini Pak 5/29/2014
 
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged, =WITH= DLC #19 (Full-5 Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*DLC #19 is REQUIRED for this mod!!*
 
**Please note, this pack is set up for the 3W A-4L Skyhawk DLC pack #19 ONLY!!! It is NOT be confused or USED with the Crab_02/Column5 mod. If you have the C2/C5 version, You are advised to REMOVE that mod COMPLETLY BEFORE installing this one!! It will cause conflicts, faults and General Mayhem. You have been warned!!!**
 
This pack contains skins/decals for the following units:
 
VC-13 "Fighting Saints" as based at NAS/MCAS Miramar
VC-2 "Falcons" as based at NAS Oceana
 
Several reworked inis included are:
Data.ini (operable canopy, Standard Keystroke ™, Shift/0, landing light)
Loadout ini (better offensive loadouts)
main ini (A-4L.ini, with resequenced skin listings - these are now 1 & 2)
 
All markings, excepting the squadon tail codes and VC-13's hump, are decals. The tail markings for both are painted on the skin. Decal randomization is TRUE, but be advised there's only 7 Modex for VC-2, and 12 for VC-13. This IS historically correct.
 
When installing, just allow the overwrite of the inis. I've fiddled with the skin listing order, to make them more user friendly. However, if you wish to keep the original order, BACKUP THE MAIN, A-4L.INI -=BEFORE=- INSTALLING THIS MOD!!!
 
*REMINDER!!! You =MUST= have DLC #19 to access the aircraft and it's other associated files.*
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please -READ- them!! In fact, unzip the archive FIRST, read the instructions, and then install it. Best to be safe, eh?
 
Happy Hunting!

this is a batch of squadron, wing and other patches i've used in the last year to enhance some of my mods. all are named for the unit they represent, names will likely have to be changed in your own mods to fit what you're doing. feel free to use them on skins or tga.
 
as the title implies, these are Cold War era markings. where i could find and or as applies, they will say TACTICAL Fighter Squadron. these are not just knockoffs from Wikipedia's title page for the different units.
 
no readme, if i have copied someone elses file and not credited please let me know. however i am 99.9% certain this is all me phishing Google images over the course of a year.

A-4M "Top Gun".
 
Two Skins for Thirdwire A-4F_74 depicting A-4Ms flying at "Top Gun" in the early 90s.
I have also included files to create an A-4M based onto the A-4F_74 ( Datafile, Cockpit and Avionics files for a HUD ...).
All files are stock Thirdwire files, modified or not.

SF2 WW2 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I No.1 Squadron, BoF, Skin Pak 5/14/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*There is a distinct possibility that this mod will work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. However, due to some of the modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment (read: decal randomization), all the features will =NOT= be working as designed.*
 
A new skin for Raven's Hurrican Mk.1 (2-bladded Watts prop, fabric wings), representing No. 1 Squadron in early to mid-1940, but more for the Battle of France timeframe.
 
This skin is painted in the "half-and-half' Night/White wing undersides, with French style "rudder flash" RAF color bands, and "silver dope" remaining undersides. The skin maps remain in bmp format.
Also included is a modified textureset.ini for the original No.111 squadron skin, that adds the DefaultStartDate= tag (07/1940), adds decal randomization. The decals ini provided for 111 adds the Level 1 fake "SqTail" pointer to activate the Squadron name display. This is used on BOTH skins.
 
The new serial number decals ARE historically those for early Mk.1 Hurris, but should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent NO particular aircraft within a specific squadron.
 
This package ONLY contains the skins/decals (and the 111 Squadron inis). I've not included any of my usual "tweeks" to SF2-ize the aircraft. It's pretty perfect as is! (the only thing I changed was turning the Fuselage OFF in the data ini to eliminate the 'double cockpit' issue).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
 
With Thanks To Raven for the bird!
 
Good Hunting!
