            About The Mirage Factory Rebuilt
Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in
use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009.
But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original
modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were
just hopeful wishes over a decade ago.
    The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced
with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is jsut standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today
and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him.    
on behalf of The Mirage Factory (original and rebuilt) I thank you for downloading this mod, and hope you enjoy it.

Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in
use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009.
But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original
modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were
just hopeful wishes over a decade ago.
    The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced
with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is jsut standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today

Ejército del Aire F-104G - ALA-12

The Spanish Air Force received their F-104s under the Military Assistance Program: 18 Canadair-built F-104Gs
and three Lockheed-built TF-104Gs were delivered under MAP to Spain's Ejército del Aire in 1965.
These aircraft were transferred to Greece and Turkey when they were replaced by F-4 Phantoms in 1972.
It is notable that no aircraft were lost through accidents during 17,000 hours of operational use in Spain
although it should also be noted that the aircraft was used only in its intended role of an interceptor and
mainly in very good flying weather.
 
Ejército del Aire:
 
-Ala 6 based at Torrejon (later redesignated Ala 16); 61 Escuadron (later redesignated 161 and 104 Escuadron)
 
Install: as usual
 
Enjoy

SF2 A-1H Skyraider (3W) VA-75 Skin Pack       1/11/2024
-For SF2, Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended-- must have access to the A-1H Skyraider in your mods folder(s)
This here is a new skin for the stock 3W A-1H Skraider, depicting VA-75 "Sunday Punchers" in approx 1962 aboard USS INDEPENDENCE in Southeast Asian waters.
Most markings are decals, excepting for the squadron color bands on the rudder. Through the magic jiggery-pokkery of Level 2 decals, the CAG color bands are also available when you select modex #500. The line birds have their correct markings. All serial numbers are 100% historically correct for this unit at this time period.
It should be noted, nothing is provided to make this AI aircraft flyable; you should have alread done that. This is just the textures and decals.
As is always reccomendified, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions.
Happy Landings and Good Hunting!

This is a complete overhaul/update/fixing of great Dave original package,
an handmade reskin using Lod viewer and no templates.
The job was started several years ago and finished after downloaded last
Kevin's effort.
So you'll find, jpg textures, SM files, fixed camo, lines and right shaped
stripes and some missing parts added to originals.
As I always dislike redoing someone's else work pratice without a valid
reason, this job started only for personal use, but when became a complete
overhaul, I decided to share.
As a bonus  a Defence Systems Evaluation skin made by myself using TW silver
skin as template (EB-57B) and a second AVON 1 skin for 13 BS.
Decals are taken from Dave's package and some are brand new.
Remember to delete ALL previous old skins from original pack if installed.
I hope you like.

Happy new year.

SF2 B-57B Canberra, Early SEA Camo Skin Pack                 12/21/2023
= For SF2, Any and All =
* Full-5 Merged reccomended *
This mod is designed to be used with my recently uploaded B-57B Upgrade & Skis set. You can still use it, if you're familiar enough with added/editing inis. If not, you can find the Upgrade Pack at the following URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/18162-sf2-b-57b-canberra-ini-skin-decal-update-pak/
A new Vietnam-era skin for the stock 3rdWire B-57B Canberra. This represents the 8th Bombardment Squadron of the 35th TFW as first deployed to Southeast Asia. The uppers are finished is standard 3-tone camo, with the unders in a 'light grey'. This was an unpopular paint job, and was replaced soon after with the standard Night Black (tm) unders.
All markings are decals, and have 24 100% historically correct serials, and their presentation on the tail, for the timeframe represented. Decal randomization is TRUE. As usual, they are marked with the star (*) to show their accuracy.
Also included, is a new(ish) Dual HVAR launcher, as requested (along with this skin) by CA member KiwiBiggles. It's a modified, aircraft specific version of the dual rack as used on the F-84 Thunderjet/Thunderstreak. It mounts the STOCK 3W 5" HVAR rockets. It has been edited to it's own name, and will NOT conflict with the T-Jet rack. A new loadout ini is included that pre-loads the Dual Rack for those mission taskings when it would be needed. This skin also includes it's own Hangar Screen. (You may need to edit the main B-57B.ini to add it. If you don't know how, contact me via PM or post in this announcement thread)
On the Loadout screen, for skin selection you'll see:
8th BS (Early Grey Unders)
On the drop-down menu
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
Good Hunting!

SF2 B-57B Canberra Ini, Skin & Decal Update Pak                 11/30/2023
= For SF2, Any and All =
* Full-5 Merged reccomended, but can be used in any game with access to the STOCK B-57B & F-4C_67 *
** Designed to REPLACE in total, any earlier mod packages of this type **
Some ini mods for the stock 3W B-57B that add a usable cockpit (albeit not perfect!, but VERY usable & functional), new avioncs ini, and adds the Nuclear Delivery Capability (tm) they had from inception. All this will make the aircraft Player Flyable (tm). Be advised, your game install MUST have access to the stock F-4C_67, as that cockpit is used in this mod. See "Notes" for more Whys.
This mod includes a new skin, for the 499th BS, 345th BG with historical serial & Buzz Numbers for 24 aircraft. It should be noted, while correct for the 345th, I was unable to locate serials specifically for the 499th. The "Bat Out of Hell" nose art IS fictious, but historical as used on their B-25s during WW2 in the Pacific. I just thought it looked cool!. Also included (as seen in the SF2 CA Forum) is a new skin for the wing tip drop tanks as used on the Natural Metal Finish (NMF) skin. As of now, it's set up ONLY for the USAF NMF skin, but is easily used on any other NMFs. See "Notes" below are more instructions. The USAF NMF skin also gets 24 correct serial & buzz number decals, but they are 'generic' in nature, representing no specific unit.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them! You may with to unzip this archive FIRST before installing, to read all the crazed instructions. Also, please read the Notes section for more expositions on WHY I chose the cockpit I did.
Happy Landings!

SF2 RoCAF F-84G Thunderjet Skin & Decal Pack         10/30/2023
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
This is a new skin for the F-84G Thunderjet available here at CombatAce at the following url:
https://combatace.com/files/file/12294-republic-f-84g-thunderjet-by-russouk-for-sf2/
This pack is 'representative' of F-84G Thunderjets used by the Republic of China Air Force (Taiwan).
All markings are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE. All serials are 100% historically accurate for T-Jets serving in the RoCAF. As is usual, those on the number list marked with a star (*) have their serial number matched to their "modex" or plane-in-squadron numbers. Any others, not marked, could not be matched to ID numbers, but ARE correct serials as seen on RoCAF T-Jets. This mod does not, however, replicate any specific or particular squadron. I was unable to run them down accurately enough. This is also the reason for not having any of the squadron color bands used on the nose/tail/wingtip tanks. You have a "basic" full squadron of 26 numbers. Also included are updated _data and _loadout inis, adding "Anti-Ship" mission tasking. As this will change USAF and other users missions, you may wish to back up the original data ini. Please also note, that the bombs used are the Stock 3W M64 500 pounders. If you wish to use the older ones, you'll need to edit the loadout ini.
 
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. PLEASE read them, before installing!!!
Happy Landings!

Bloody Hundreth Tanking into the 90s: 100th ARW skin for the KC=135R
This skinpack is a representation of the 100th Air Refueling Wing at RAF Mildenhall during the 1990s. Tracing its lineage back to the 100th Bomb Group of WW2, the 100th has featured nose arts on its tankers throughout the year, often replicating or paying tribute to nose arts from the original Bloody Hundreth

        Included*
two skins; one 1993 in the Shamu scheme and one 1998 in the AMC grey scheme
decals for both skins including nose arts for all aircraft that had them

    Required
a legal functioning install of any SF2 version
KC-135R aircraft and sounds, found in the download section
   https://combatace.com/files/file/12454-mirage-factory-c-135ab-and-kc-135aer/
    Installation
unzip this mod, then install new mod folder categories to your mod folder (Aircraft to aircraft etc)
allow overwrites
fire up game, take off and go pass gas
    Known Issues
-This is meant as eye candy. unfortunately, SF2 doesnt support air to air refueling so the best to be done is set up a recon mission and then park it in an orbit.
-Also, the C-130 cockpit is not too accurate. it is included mainly so that it can be player selected (i had to test it somehow). remember that there is no air to air refueling in game, so these are more eye candy than operational birds

Simple skin pack with a few sets of skins for Navy versions of A-7 Corsair II - A/B/C/E that flew during the air war over Vietnam between 1967-1974.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) 
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
To run this mod you need also access to TW lod files from SF2 Series.
userlist.ini included covering correct years of use of specific models.
Skins cover the years 1967-1974  CVW deployments during Vietnam War. All squadrons year by year.
The pack contains skins and decals. 
Skins sets are made in pairs - two squadrons for CVW for a specific year. 
I could not find all the correct BuNo / Modex but I am considering this as ongoing work in progress, so one day if I will learn something new there will be an update. Also, not all squadrons have CAG markings, sometimes i could not find info on markings...so I left it, again there might be an update if new info appears.
I believe that the pack after unp[backing is around 2.6GB. So make some space for SLUF.
 
All skins, new bump maps, specular, and decals are made by me. 
 
report bugs.
enjoy. 
Jarek Hereda.
 
P.S.
This is huge, a lot of copy-paste for me, all decals.ini, textur.ini, etc...So if you will find that one decal is not showing up or something...just check first - maybe there is some bug in *.ini file. Fix, post solution, etc... So others can benefit from your fix. 
I put a lot of effort and time, and checked everything twice..still gremlins can appear. 
 
PART TWO - OPTIONAL MOD FILES.
This is only for experienced users!
who know how to improve the game for themselves, are not afraid of experimenting, and know how to go back to stock ini files if something is not okay.
This is based on my mod that unifies USN equipment (300 gal tanks, MERs, TERs etc.)
optional mod files include reworked data files - correcting usage of weapons, fuel tanks, etc. adding some specific tanks, and stations for specific launchers adding fake pilot mods etc, 
additional fake pilot mods (legendary fake pilot mod required!)
additional loadout ini files - for a better game experience 
additional weapons by Ravenclaw to cover weapons needed in new loadout ini files.
D704 refueling pod/fuel tank by Nyghtfall from his great A-4 pack.. 
I highly recommend picking up piece by piece from optional mods, testing, and deciding whether to use them or not.
Use the optional mod as a separate mod or as a reference to make your own.

TMF Boeing 707-300 Comprehensive Skinpack
This mod will replace the individual skins for the TMF 707 and adds my multi airline skins to it, covering the eras from the early 1960s until the late 1980s and will add some eye candy to your parking ramps or make for interesting intercept and escort targets
    INSTALLATION
This is only a skin pack with some additional items. First you will need the original located here:
then unzip and add this mod as well. allow overwrites.
You can delete the previous skins if you want, as they are represented in the skin pack
IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN NATIONS.INI, ADD FROM THE GIVEN TEXT FILE. This is for heavily modded installs
    INCLUDED
Decal sets covering most major users from 1959 until 1989
Skins to cover that time period in 9 blocks, with bare metal base skins
Nations and Formations ini for the "Airline" nation
    KNOWN ISSUES
Number 1:  THIS THING IS BIG! the fuselage tgas are 2048x2048 (working with details over an entire fuselage rather than basic colors
and curves) and the biggest sets are representing 32 airlines in their era! So this is not for the small of HDD space
Number 2: Due to quirks in the model, and ease for the modder it is not 100% aligned as in RL. the cabin windows are a little lower (which
allowed the logos to go one easier), and the curves tend to stop short of the radome.
Number 3: this uses the Herc pit to be flyable. I ad it to be able to check the decals, but leave it for those that may want to use it.
The pit is a piss poor match however, both with frames blocking and the higher tech than available even into the 80s for civilian birds
It is meant as eye candy, not operational missions.
Number 4: due to the size of things, some of the lettering is not to legible when you get close to it. Again, eye candy, its meant to be seen
from the runway when taking off or on an intercept. If your that close to see "hey it really is fuzzy" you will probably collide. Besides, the
thing is huge as is at teh current tga size
    UNSOLICTED ADVICE
I am one of those that likes all encompassing mods. If you have a certain era you would rather focus on, by all means delete the other eras
that you don't need. Again this thing is huge, but covers almost every user from 1959 through 1989.

For the TMF A-7E (Late) Corsair II
This skin represents VA-46 before Desert Storm (1989-1990) timeframe. Given that most of the Operation Desert Storm A-7s are covered via the ODS mod I decided to try my hand at least one A-7 skin. All the folders are created so all you have to do is drop in your mod folder and go fly. Under the dropdown menu, it is under VA-46 Clansmen.
Decals were modified from the original VA-66LV files and scanned decals I believe from Dave. For this A-7:
