SF2 C-119 "Flying Boxcar" Moroccan Air Force Skin Pack                                      9/12/2025
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
A new skin and decal pack for MontyCZ's C-119 'Flying Boxcar" as used by the Moroccan Air Force from the early 1960s through 1980 (ish). It's recommended that you have the latest SF2 update installed FIRST before adding this mod, as some inis have been updated. Like for the aircraft is at the bottom of the section, below my signature.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The skin remains in it's 'as issued' BMP format, 1024x1024. All serial numbers are 100% historically accurate. Also included are updated data, user list and avionics inis. All have had some very small changes. 
When on the Loadout Page, you'll see 
Escadre de Transport (RMoAF)<1962
The "1962" is also repeated in the texture set ini, and set as the "StartDefaultDate=", which is the year the RMoAF received it first Flying Boxcars.
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!!! Please also take note of changes in the Standard Disclaimer in the "Legal BS" section at the bottom.

Happy Landings!

SF2 F-86F-40 Sabre, EDA Skin Pack       8/2/2025
-For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Recommended)
This is a NEW skin for the F-86F-40 Sabre. This is a something of a "salvage operation", as I found this skin/decal set in my archives. It was originally done in 2012, but for reason unremembered, never released!
This set represents Spanish Air Force (Ejército del Aire y del Espacio) Sabres of 1 Ala from approx. 1958, when they started receiving the Sabre. You get 18 historically accurate decals; accurate in the fact they served in the EDA, but I was unable to associate them to a specific squadron or wing. So, consider them to be 'generic' in nature. Please note, the fuselage numbers are the early presentation as when first delivered. The skin is in jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. The SF2 date switch is NOT used, however the "startdefaultdate=" is set to 1958. Hopefully it works as advertised. 
On the skin selection menu, on the Loadout Page, you'll see:
1 Ala, 12 Esc
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. As always, give the "Notes" section a quick read for any and all nonsensical ramblings. A small request for information is also down there. :)
Happy Landings!

SF2 F-86F-40 Sabre, Portuguese Air Force Skin Pack       8/7/2025
-For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Recommended)
This is a NEW skin for the F-86F-40 Sabre. It is designed to be used on the SF2 F-86F-40 pack available here at CA. 
This set represents Portuguese Air Force (Forca Aerea Portuguesa) # 51 Squadron (later renumbered to 201) in approx. 1958, when they started receiving their Sabres. You get 24 historically accurate decals; all have been positively identified as having served in 51/201 Squadron (excepting the very last 2; they're generics). The skin is in jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. All markings are decals, excepting the painted squadron color bands on the wingtips, stab tips, and vert fin. The SF2 date switch is NOT used, however the "startdefaultdate=" is set to 1958. Hopefully it works as advertised. 
On the skin selection menu, on the Loadout Page, you'll see:
Esq 51 (201) Falcons
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.

Thanks you very much "Geary" for your templates !!

The 184th TFG operated F-4D's from 1979 till 1990 and was the F-4 Schoolhouse, operating 70 F-4D's in various paint schemes.
This includes (18) different F-4D's wearing the Euro Scheme variations which were seen on the flightline of McConnell AFB during the late 1970's and 1980's.
These were all verified by photos and do not represent a particular year but the entire F-4D Phantom tenure with the 184th. Being a schoolhouse, the 184th had Phantoms in every scheme, some Kansas Phantoms wore them all during their time at the unit while others did not.
Happy Phlying!

These airframes came from California's 194th FIS, Minnesota's 179th FIS and North Dakota's 178th FIS, all with air defense missions in the United States and all donating F-4D aircraft in the colorful Air Defense Gray paint scheme.
