SF2 WW2 French Fighters Pak
= For SF2 (Full4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED!)
**Note: due to the extensive modifications to the cockpit and data ini, this mod will absolutely -NOT- work in 06 level 1stGen game installs. 08 Level 1stGens may have some issues, but this has not/cannot be tested by me.**
*Notex2: this package is a little on the heavy side, due to the inclusion of the skin templates for both aircraft*
This pak contains a reissue of Veltro2K's WW2 French Air Force (Armée de l'Air) fighter aircraft. These are the complete aircraft, with various/sundry changes.
This pak contains: (Note: the D.520 has been split into AdA and Vichy "Nationalized" useaircraft, in
essence, 2 different birds)

Dewoitine D-520 (AdA)
4 CG II/7 (BoF timeframe)
Dewoitine D.520 (Vichy)*
GC III/3, North Africa (a bit 'generic' in nature- vichy)
GC II/3, Syria 1941 (Vichy French AF -vichy1)
*(This is the nationalized version. The aircraft folder is called D-520_V, and will display "Dewoitine D.520 (Vichy)" on the aircraft selection dropdown menu)
**Note: the Vichy D.520 resides in a seperate folder called "z--Vichy for MTO Installs". It is structured EXACTLY like the others, but without the Sounds, Pilots, Guns sub-folders. You will have to copy these twice***
Skins are in jpg format, and were created from a (patent pending) Home Grown Template . Decal randomization is set to TRUE. Some new decals were created, and NO pretense of historicality is to be confered) on them (see Note below). Damage textures are in DDS format.
BOTH templates are included for use by other skinners. Improvements/corrections are WELCOMED!
Weapons (ok, the French guns) are included.
All the 1stGen Hangar and Loading screens were either rebuilt to SF2-spec, or created new for this package.
Ini tweeks include (but not limited to) "newish" flight models -which, as always need some further refinments by Experten (no, seriously! they REALLY do!! Please!! somebody buld better ones!!), replacement/repainted cockpits, new gunsights, and AvHistory engine sounds.
See "Changes" in the Notes section for more details.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for the change list, and other important notations. Also, the Legal Statement has been changed with regards to these aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, it's advised you delete the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is desinged to replace them in total.
**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. The source files have been lost, and there can and WILL be no modifications to the physical model. They 'are as they is' and you must accept them with this caveat in mind. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**

SF2 Post-WW2 SNCAC NC-900, AdA
-- Something for the Post-WW2 AdA --
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged ( Full-5 Reccomended/Preferred) =
*There is a possibility that this mod may work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. However due to the excessive modifications made to fit into the SF2 environment, not all features will be avaliable.*
A reskining/redecaling for Wolf's FW-190A5, recreate the SNCAC NC-900 variant. Approximately 120 of these aircraft were 'reassembled' from bits in service/repair depots/etc and used in the immedate Post-War period by the French Air Force. This is NOT a "What If..." aircraft.
Skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. There are 26 'serial number' markings for the tail. Use of my (patent pending) 'fake SqTail' Level 1 decal allows the game engine to assign it to 'Normandy Neimen', although in the 1945-48 time frame in carred the GC III/5 designation
Like the WW2 Luftwaffe Fw-190s, is share the same (semi) compliant SF2 FM As always, while it works quite well, further fine tuning is required by Experts.
Sounds, pilot figures, 'fake pilot' and pylons are are included, as well a new Hangar Screen. Guns use the 'standard' WW2 Luftwaffe cannon and machine guns; the French (AdA series) bombs, drop tank and ETC MER are not. They can be found with the other FWs, and the WW2 French Aircraft paks (for the bombs).
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, the "Notes" section for other important stuff of interest.
*Due to the age of the physical model (LOD), the mod is being released "as is" condition, as stated in the WW2 Luftwaffe FW-190 Paks*
Have Fun With It!!

C-141B Starlifter Replacement/Tweeks Pak
= For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 RECCOMENDED!!!) =
Some remods/tweeks/partial reskinning and new decals for the recently (re)released C-141B
Starlifter.
It is designed to totally REPLACE the C-141B in the Cargo Planes Pak, so you'll be deleting the
aircraft and decals folder OF the original (re)release, and replace them with these.
All the painted on markings have been removed, and new decals are used in their places. The
tail flash represents the 438th AW out of McGuire AFB. Many other small changes have been
effected; new avionics ini, lights moved (or removed), etc and so forth. Not a full and total
rebuild, just some tweeks for minor improvements. The partial templates I created/used for this
are included. Maybe someone will step up and give us a Lizard Camo.
The skins supplied herein are in jpg format.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read
them!!! Also, give the "Notes" section a read, in particular on operational usage.

SF2 USAF/NATO/Western Cargo Planes by Veltro2K
-For SF2, Any and All-
This is a re-release of these aircraft, as some have stated a desire to have them again.
This pak includes all my reskins, decals, ini tweeks,etc, from the various "upgrade paks" I'd
released before the aircraft were disappeared.
This pak contains =ONLY= those aircraft used by the USAF, our Allies and other NATO powers. The
Soviet/Warsaw Pact transports are someplace else....
Included in this pack are:
C-141A Starlifer
C-141B Starlifter
C-5A Galaxy
C-17 Globemaster III
G-222 Spartan (called such in USAF service)
Some may be more complete than others, with regards to decals and such. Some are fairly
'untouched', and will need further decaling, etc. Some hangar and loading screens are NOT in
SF2 format, and will need redoing (meaning: I never got around to them!).
All the original readmes from the Upgrade Paks (I could find!) are included within this main
folder. I'd reccomend reading them, just for fun!
Skin and some decal templates (again, when I could find them!) are included. The decal template
is for the "ttag" decal, that is for USAF AMC usage.
This pak is quite large, as the skins remain in their bmp format. You can convert to jpg at you
convience.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read
them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations. Also, the Legal
Statement has been changed with regards to these aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, you may not need to reapply this package. But,
to be safe, PLEASE check over your aircraft to be sure. Thank You :).
**These aircraft herein are re-released in "AS IS" Condition. There are/may be some issues with
the LODs that may not/cannot be resolved. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be
solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created. For now.**

F-20A/F-20B Tigershark ReMod Pak
=For SF2, Any and All (but Full 4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED!!)
- A "What If..." Aircraft Mod -
*Full 4/5 Merged reccomended, as the RAF skin make use of the stock 3W F-4M serial number and plane-in-group letters. You =MUST= have, at least, SF2:E as part of you game installs. If not, you'll have to find substitute decals for the RAF skins*
This is a re-release of Veltro2k's F-20 Tigersharks. This pak contains 2 complete aircraft, the single-seat F-20A and the 2-seat F-20B. Both are fully combat capable, however certain mission tasking is NOT assigned to the F-20B, due to hardpoint limitations, and the lack of an internal ECM suite (no jammer; chaff & flares included at no extra cost).
Skin/Decals included in this pack are (names in paranthesis are the actual folder names):
F-20A:
2 Tone Blue/Gray (2Tone - nation tagged as 'generic' -would be a good HAF skin!)
Air Superiority Gray (Gray - nation tagged as 'generic')
10th TFS, 50th TFW (Gray2)
1 Hikotai, JASDF Martime Blue (JASDF)
57th FW, Nellis AFB (Nellis)
ROCAF Gray (ROCAF)
92 Sqdn, RAF overall Gray (RAF)
92 Sqdn, RAF Grey Green (RAF1)
92 Sqdn, RAF Grey Green 2 (RAF2) -loviz markings
75 Sqdn RNZAF (RNZAF)
ROCAF Gray -no squadron- (ROCAF)
RSAF - Saudi Arabia (RSAF)
110th FS, 131st FW, MO ANG "Lindberg's Own" (MOANG)
114th FS, 173rd FW OR ANG (ORANG)
119th FW, ND ANG "Happy Hooligans" (NDANG)
159th FIS, FL ANG (FLANG)
Football City Air Force (FBCAF -from "The Wingman" series)
F-20B:
57th FW, Nellis AFB (Gray)
56th FW, Luke AFB 2 Tone (USAF)
Decal randomization is set to TRUE for all. Skin templates for BOTH aircraft are included, as are several decal templates. Skinners/decalers are ENCOURAGED! to create other users/markings/etc. Damage textures are in DDS format.
Unfortunately, the archived zip file for the original skin/ini mods was corrupted, and I was unable to retreive all the information from it about them.
When 'in game', you'll see
F-20A TigerShark (v2k)
F-20B TigerShark (v2k)
displayed on the aircraft selection drop-down window. This will differentiate these aircraft from any other Tigersharks that may exist.
No weapons are included, as it references (for the most part) stock items or those from the GunnyPak, or other aircraft mods (in particular, the JASDF EO bomb), but sounds are. The spine antenna & intake "thingy" created by Raven is included, along with the FakePilot needed to "attach" it to the F-20A.
The loadout ini makes use of nation-specific and start-year specific loadouts. Some even actually work as advertised. The included Userlists are correct; the countries listed were those that actually considered the Tigershark at one time.
The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0. The FM remains essentially the same, and REALLY needs MAJOR fine tuning by an Expert! (no, seriously! it can be a bit squirrelly at times)
This is a VERY large package (771 MG unzipped), as all the skins remain in their 2048x2048 bmp format (approx 12megs per map!). You can, of course, convert to jpg at your leisure. It's sorta suggested, ya know!?, for those with limited HD space.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, the Legal Statement has been changed with regards to these aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, you need not redownload this pak; you should have everything within it already. But if you want too ... feel free to do so! :). There HAVE been several changes in several of the inis you may wish to examine, and add.
**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**.

SF2 WW2 PTO Mitsubishi G3M Nell Pak by Veltro2K
-- Something for the PTO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (ONLY!!!) =
*** Important Note: due to the use of SF2NA coding for the Naval Strike (aka 'Cruise Missle') usage, you MUST have built you PTO mods folder from the SF2NA exe. The torpedo supplied herein is set as a short range cruise missile, and will ABSOLUTELY NOT work in 1stGens at any patch level, and may not work properly in SF2 game installs withOUT SF2NA in the merged core files. Also, the use of 'open cockpit' and other statements in various inis preclude it use in SF/Wo* 1stGen games. Also, having SF2I Expansion Pak 1 is a must, as the destroyed model referenced herein uses the C-47A destroyed model. If you do NOT have SF2I Exp1, you'll have to find another desetroyed lod to reference.***
A re-release of Veltro's G3M "Nell" IJN attack bomber. Inside you'll find...
The original skin, overall green/light green-blue unders that I've tentativly identified as the Mihoro Naval Air Corps (later redesignated 701 Kokutai).
A NEW "quick and dirty" one by me, representing Chitose NAC (later 703 Kokutai), with 18 new 'plane-in-group/serial decals. It's also the green/blue-grey.
The skins are in jpg format, the orignal decals (17) are resued on the Mihoro/701 skin, and 18 new decal were created for the Chitose/701 skin.Decal Randomization is set to TRUE. All IJAAF/IJN weapons (bombs), including the NA-style semi-experimental 'cruise missle' torpedo. Pilot figures, and a 'new' engine sound from the AvHistory sounds set. Both the Hangar and Loading screens are brand new for this reissue.
To reduce the chance of conflicts with any other Nells you may (or may not) have, everthing is refered to by the 'v2k' suffix. So, when in game, you'll see
G3M2 Model 22 "Nell" (V2K)
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for the change list, and other important notations. Also, the Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft.
For those that still have the original release, it's advised you delete the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is desinged to replace them in total.
**The aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. The source files have been lost, and there can and WILL be no modifications to the physical model.
