Mercenary Sand Skin for F-5E Tiger II (fictional)
By gerwin
Mercenary Sand Skin for F-5E Tiger II (fictional)
by Gerwin 16-1-2013
DESCRIPTION:
Made for the TMF F-5E model. For use by the nation of Paran.
This skin is part of a Skin set, all in the same style, by the same author.
This work is based on existing skins and templates, Taking the required
parts of each source. Before making this skin I worked on an improved
USAF silver skin for the F-5E, which is also available.
INSTALLATION:
Copy the included folder with contents to the folder that contains
the F-5E files, for example:
WOE\Objects\Aircraft\F-5E
or:
My Documents\ThirdWire\Strike Fighters 2\Objects\Aircraft\F-5E
When in the game select the skin in the loadout screen.
NOTE:
Be sure to download and install my Damage Textures Pack released
on Combatace, which also contains detailed Damage textures for the
F-5E.
For Game performance or loading times it may be desirable to scale down
this skin to 512x512 size.
THANKS TO:

F4 PhantomII kills_MOD
By comrad
This MOD for US F-4 Phantom II air victory decals(stars on fuselage)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
best American aces of the Vietnam War had about five victories in air combat.
But in campaign(Wings over Vietnam) on the F-4 Phantom II the player can shoot down more than 30 aircraft ....)
In this case, on board the F-4 Phantom II will be 30 (!) Stars symbolizing the 30 aircraft shot down.
with my little modification, the first star will be
aboard the F-4 Phantom II after just 10 aircraft shot down.
the second star - after 20 downed
third star - after 30 downed
Thus, marks of air victories will seem true )

USAF Silver Skin for F-5E Tiger II
By gerwin
USAF Silver Skin for F-5E Tiger II
An update by Gerwin 26-12-2012..20-1-2013 v1.1
DESCRIPTION:
I was hoping someone would enhance the panel lines on
the F-5E skin. Fortunately Lanapa released
"F-5E Spanish SkinPack.rar" with the desired detail.
I converted this Skin to the USAF Silver pattern.
Next I adjusted and overpainted the whole thing to give
a more convincing natural metal look, with a little weathering.
v1.1: improved details on nose section and hook
INSTALLATION:
Copy the included folder with contents to the folder that contains
the F-5E files, for example:
WOE\Objects\Aircraft\F-5E
or:
My Documents\ThirdWire\Strike Fighters 2\Objects\Aircraft\F-5E
When in the game select the skin in the loadout screen.
NOTE:
Be sure to download and install my Damage Textures Pack released
on Combatace, which also contains detailed Damage textures for the
F-5E.

Enhancement Pack for TW DLC 23 - F-4N Phantom II
DLC 23 F-4N PHANTOM II ENHANCEMENT PACK
This is a mod to enhance the DLC F-4N. It includes data.ini's for smoky engines,
realistic weapons and drooping ailerons. It also features many skins that have been
touched up using Sundowners templates. Finally it has 100 historic BuNo's, and
several styles and colors for modexes. It covers a wide spread of N users without
becoming completely OCD.
Included are:
-3 F-4N aircraft (N, N_77, N_80) to help keep some order and smallness of file size. skins covered include USN/MC Grey, Overall Gloss
Gloss Gull Gray(circa 1980), Lo Viz Grey (1981) and TPS (1983). Ferris and Heater Ferris were not used for the most part on N models.
-my expanded squadronlist.ini. tho many units are stock in here, several will not show without this. Plus it's got room for anybody you
can think of and then some more.
-an expansive NavalF4 decal folder to cover all years after Vietnam (EXCEPT 1976). not all will be full right now, but
they will be filled up with some future planned mods.
-a Numbers folder with Buno's for the N, and several styles of Modex's
-smokier engine effects for the J-79s.
-J-79 engine sounds
REQUIRED: The TW F-4N Phantom II, DLC 23.
INSTALLATION:
same as any other mod. unzip the file, paste into your mod folder, allow overwrites for old copies
of the smoke effects and the F-4N.ini.
CREDITS
First is a HUGE THANK YOU to mytai01. much of this work is based off of his model for decalling the F-4 Phantom.
Some of the nn tgas are even lifted off his B model skins and adjusted into N models BuNos. Those that have seen
his work will recognize much influence in this mod.
Thanks to Sundowner for his templates. With a Sundowner template, you have to work hard to screw up a skin!!!!!
As with all my Phantom mods, thank you to Spillone104 for his J-79 effects. I do like them so, and hope
you will as well.
thanks to JSF_Aggie for his drooping aileron edit for the data.ini. although TK fixed that in the July
2013 patch, i have not patched there yet and know that many still haven't. for the time being the mod
uses JSF_Aggie's work.
Thanks to Gerwin, Blade, Wrench, Dave, mppd, Ghost531 and many others who have given me answers and resources
to many technical questions the last year and a half I've been working this.
special thanks to Ghost531 and CrazyHorseB34 for getting me off my fourth point of contact when stalled
on this project
and as always thanks to TK who developed both the game and the particular DLC, then left enough work for
likes of me to fill in.
again thank you for downloading this mod and i hope that you enjoy it!

F-4EJ skin pack
This is a package of high-resolution skins including authentic serial numbers and patches for the F-4EJ and F-4EJ Kai created by my friend and Phantom expert Nengajou Aki. Nineteen different skins from ten different squadrons are included.
These skins may be used with the Mirage Factory F-4EJ pack (http://combatace.com...4ej-super-pack/), and are also compatible with the ThirdWire DLC version with minor adjustments.
Every major JASDF squadron to fly the Phantom is represented here, some separated by year, with the greatest and most realistic detail possible. These are large skins, so resize them or convert them to jpeg or dds if you need to.
Note: You may notice that serial numbers are not restricted by squadron. This is intentional, as aircraft frequently change squadrons within the JASDF.
Optional files are included such as data.ini (mostly for custom engine sounds and pilots), avionics.ini (gun angle tweak), and loadout.ini (including naval strike ASM setups). Sundowner has given permission to overwrite original versions of these files.
Entries for JASDF squadrons missing from the stock Squadronlist.ini are also available. Please add them manually or look for the latest community updates in the "SF2 Realism Mod" thread at CombatAce.

F-104A, Pakistani AF, and Ini Tweeks Pak
By Wrench
F-104A, Pakistani Air Force, And Ini Tweeks Pak
= For SF2, Any and All =
Some modifications (ini wise) and a new-ish skin for the recently re-released revamp of Ajundair's F-104A Starfighter. This package is =ONLY= to be applied to the F-104A Pak by Spillone104, available at:
http://combatace.com/files/file/13082-f-104a-pack/
This adds a Pakistani AF skin, with historical serial numbers (albeit 2 are for 104Bs ...) as used by No. 9 Squadron; Decal randomization is set to TRUE. Also included are several inis with some additions and corrections.
Please note, the skins are in jpg format, so be at least at the Jan 2012 patch level for them to work. If not ... you can figure out the alternatives.
The inis are:
Data.ini (with corrected export dates, and steerable nose wheel)
Userlist (with, hopefuly correct years)
Loadout ini (corrects the "always loading Falcons" issue)
main ini (with some minor additions)
Hangar screen (albeit the SF2 revamped 1stGen F-104G, but the differences are so small...)
Cockpit.ini, (with working secondary ADI and oil pressure gauges, ala F-104G)
the included cockpit folder does NOT have the lod, but does contain the hi-rez skins by batman1976; and probably several other not used bmps -- I couldn't remember which ones to remove, so left them alone
As always, READ the enclosed readme for usual fully detailed install instructions.
Happy Landings!

F-104A, RJAF Skin/Decal Pak
By Wrench
F-104A, Royal Jordanian Air Force Skin/Decal Pak
= For SF2, Any and All =
A new(ish) skin for the recently re-released revamp of Ajundair's F-104A Starfighter. This package is =ONLY= to be applied to the SF2 F-104A Pak by Spillone104 & Co, available at:
http://combatace.com/files/file/13082-f-104a-pack/
This represents RJAF F-104As, with historical serial numbers and ID Letters (albeit 3 or 4 actually are for their 104Bs ...). Decal randomization is set to TRUE. This is a reuse of one of the newly released natural metal skins, with all new decals. What little I've been able to determine via research, they weren't painted in camo until their retirement (1980s??), and used as decoys at various RJAF bases (* the pattern described is very similiar of the Mirage F-1 the RJAF was using at the time*)
Please note, the skins are in jpg format, so be at least at the Jan 2012 patch level (or whichever one in 2011 allowed it) for them to work. If not ... you can figure out the alternatives.
As always, READ the enclosed readme for usual fully detailed install instructions.

E-2C Hawkeye, JASDF Skin Pak (SF2NA)
By Wrench
SF2NA Nor/Grum E-2C Hawkeye, JASDF Skin Pak
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged Reccomended and/or SF2:NA ONLY! =
REMINDER: you MUST have SF2:NA to access the the E-2C. If you do not meet this minimum requirement, do NOT download this mod, as you'll not be able to use it!
A very simple reskin/redecaling of the recently added E-2C Hawkeye as used by the Japanes Air Self-Defense Force.
99.99999% Historically accurate decals replicate the 13 aircraft as used by 601 Hikotai. All markings are decals.
No other inis or other mods are included (read: cockpit, avionics, data, etc); it's just the skin for now. I'm working on tweeking a few items missed or misplaced, and will upload a 'fixit' pak in the near future, with corrected lighting, a 'passable' cockpit', and manually folding wings.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
Happy Landings!

SF2NA E-2C Hawkeye Upgrade Pak
By Wrench
SF2NA Nor/Grum E-2C Hawkeye Upgrade Pak
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged Reccomended and/or SF2:NA ONLY! =
REMINDER: you MUST have SF2:NA to access the the E-2C. If you do not meet this minimum requirement, do NOT download this mod, and you'll not be able to use it
This pak is a compilation of the 5 skins now available, and adds several new and/or tweeked inis, including a cockpit, that make this aircraft Player Usable. Importantly included is my (Patent Pending) "1 Click Restoration Main Ini", for when the aircraft reverts to AI controled after patching or DLC installation.
The skins/decals included are:
601 Hikotai, JASDF
VAW-112 (renamed from it's 'USNGray')
VAW-121
VAW-123
VAW-124
The cockpit supplied is a very slightly modified version of the S-3B Viking. New avionics and data inis are supplied. Mods to the data ini add manually folding wings (use the Usual Suspect manual animation key, Shift/9), and all lighting positions have been corrected, and other running lights added as needed. Wingtip position lights will now 'move' with the wings when folded. Landing lights have NOT been added.
A new turbine engine sound, borrowed from Del's C-130s is used, and supplied as well.
New Hangar & Loading screens are included.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
Happy Landings!

3W A-6E TRAM Upgrade Kit
By Wrench
A-6E TRAM (aka "A-6E_79) Skin/Ini UPgrade Pak
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged Required; and/or SF2:NA -ONLY!!- =
Again, as stated above this is for the stock 3rdWire A-6E_79 ONLY!! If you do not possess SF2NA, DO NOT download this mod, as you will NOT be able to use it.
Some adjustments, tweeks and General Fiddling With for the new SF2NA A-6E TRAM. The package includes a new skin, in Lo-Viz Gray for VA-75 "Sunday Punchers", circa 1990s
Several inis are included (data, loadout, avionics, main ini*), but NO COCKPT or cockpit ini is included -- you must locate and install these yourselves! The data and loadout inis have been adjusted to include LGB capabilities, a built in laser designator. Wingfold and canopy operation are controled via manual animation keys. Wingfold uses the Shift/9 and the canopy the Shift/0 keystrokes.
I've included a main ini, with the cockpit line left blank, so you can insert whichever cockpit ini name you're using. Weapons (in particular the Navy GBU-10D_N is NOT supplied. It comes from the GunnyPak, so having that would be good idea....)
New Hangar & Loading screen are included, as is a new loadout.tga for use on the Loadout Screen. The Loading Screen is actually a jpg conversion of the original 1stGEn bmp for the old TRAM.
The new skin was created from a "Home Grown Templates" , with many new decals. Others are stock items. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. The skin is "clean", as all markings are decals, making it a simple matter to create other squadron users. (the mid-fueslage slimer is part of the skin map)
A "StartDefaultDate=" line was NOT added, as doing so would limit you to ONLY this one skin (locking out the Gull Gray/White skins). As more Lo-Viz skins are created, it's reccomended that the actual transistion to Lo-Viz year be discovered, and added to this and any subsuquent new skins. A simple text edit of the textureset ini and adding said line to this skin's listing the A-6E_79.ini.
On the Numbers.lst, those Modex marked with a star (*) have their actual BuNums when assigned to this squadron. The others, rest assured, ARE real A-6E BuNums.
The templates will be uploaded seperately to the SF2/Tools & Utililties section in the Combat Ace Downloads.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them! In fact, it's reccomened (read: REQUIRED!!, you read this document through before installing to you Mods Folder)
The Notes section contains further details, descriptions, elightenments, illuminations, and so forth. Be good to read them, too.
Happy Landings!

F-104G Starfighter, Generic SEA/NATO 3-Tone skin
By Wrench
F-104G Starfighter, Generic SEA/NATO 3-Tone skin, (1024x1024)
For SF2, Any & All (Full-4 Merged Prefered)
Note: usable in any SF2 install with access to the F-104G
This is 'medium rez' skin for the stock F-104G; I call these "medium rez", as it's only 1024 x 1024. There is no partucular nation attached to this skin; it's "Generic" (however, certain contries may have had different placards - these, again, are generic in nature).
This is a "clean" skin, with no painted on markings, using all stock in-game markings (decals) - the decals ini will use whichever you choose (excepting USAF). This will allow skinners/decalers more latitude in creating country-specific squadron markings and such. The skin has a default start date of 1970; you can adjust as needed (again, a generic date of 1973 might be more accurate).
Included also are updated data and loadout inis, with "Nation & Year Specific" mission profile loadouts (in particular Marineflieger anti-ship). Updated version of the AS-30 and Kormoran 1 missile are included, for MFG usage.
*Note: the only thing NOT added is the Orpheus recon pod for KLU usage*
As expected, the canopy operates with the Shift/0 key.
Since the skin mapping hasn't changed since SFP1, this skin should (may) also be usable in 1stGen game installs that have the F-104G accessable. This, however, has NOT been tested.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!!
Happy Landings!

F-4E(78) Indiana ANG Skin/Decal Pak by Dr. Doyo
By Wrench
F-4E (78) USAF Indiana Air National Guard Skin and Decal Pak
= For SF2 (Full-4 Merged Reccomended)
*Note: can be used in any install with access to the F-4E_78*
Slight modifications to a 1stGen skin pak done by Joe "DrDoyo" Royal in 2007, to bring it to SF2. This is my way of saying "Thank You". And remembering and honoring one of our own.
This skin is the "Egypt1" 2-tone gray camo from his 3-skin pak. I chose this one, as more aircraft (according to his notes) were in this pattern than the others.
The skin has had some very small tweeks, to fill in some bits, and is renamed to fit the _78 model Phantom. I made the assumption (oh! that word!) these would have been the variant he worked on in the Indiana ANG. If I'm wrong, my extensive apologies! With a simple rename of the skin bmps, it can be used for any/all F-4E variants.
All decals were done by DrDoyo, and reflect 100% accuracy for the aircraft depicted.
Randomization is set the "TRUE" for the 25 tail numbers (it might even work!).
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! DrDoyo's original readme is included, as it has nice personal historical notes. Any mistakes/errors are all mine.
Happy Landings!!

F-100D(68) Super Sabre, USAF ANG Skin/Decal Pak
By Wrench
F-100D (68) USAF Air National Guard Skin and Decal Pak
= For SF2 (Full-4 Merged Reccomended)
*Note: can be used in any install with access to the F-100D_68*
This package contains skins and decals to recreate USAF ANG F-100D squadrons as seen/used in the 1971-79 timeframe. This is the basic reason for choosing the "68" model Hun; even though many of the units used Cs, Ds and Fs all at the same time. I choose the late-model as it's just a tad more sophisticated (RWR). With very slight editing (ie: skin bmp renaming), these should work on all model Huns (including the C -but this has NOT been tested), excepting perhaps the F-100A and it's variant.
Some units have tail codes, while other do not. This refelcts Real Life . This pak contains 8 skins, with decals for the following units:
Arkansas ANG 184th TFS, 188th TFG
Arizona ANG 152nd TFS, 162nd TFG
Connecticut ANG 118th TFS, 104th TFG (CT)
Indiania ANG 163rd TFS, 122 TFG
Louisiana ANG 122th TFS, 159th TFG
Massachusetts ANG 101st TFS, 102 TFG (MA)
Michigan ANG 107th TFS, 127th TFG (MI)
Ohio ANG 112th TFS, 180th TFG (XP)
The tail badge decals were originally created by Dave (USAFMTL) for SF/Wo*, and have been slightly modified by me for use here in SF2. When/where necessary, seperate Tail Code lettering was added. Serial numbers & insignia are all stock-ingame items, except as noted. Randomization is set the "TRUE" for the serial numbers.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!!

*Note: can be used in any install with access to the F-4D_78*
Slight modifications to a 1stGen skin pak done by "Chris" in 2005, brings it to SF2.
This skin represents the 178th FIS, 119th FIG North Dakota Air National Guard, aks "The Happy Hooligans". All decals used herein are from this original pak. The skins are stock, with a new-made _5.bmp to add the painted on fin stripe
Other mods included are the data and userlist inis, with corrected 'end-of-service-dates', as many ANG units seem to have used the D until the early 1990s. Also, the canopy has been activated via the usual manual animation key (shift/0). Couldn't pass that one up!
For grins and giggles, jpg copies of the skin maps are included .. in case someone wants to save HD space.

All new decals, 100% historcally correct for the serial (Bureau) numbers for those -B Scooters used by VA-83 during this time period. I was unable to match Modex to BuNum, but that's a small thing

A-4C Skyhawk VA-76 "Spirits"
By Wrench
A-4C Skyhawk VA-76 Sprits Skin Pak
-- For SF2, Any and All that have the A-4C Accessable --
This skin/decal represents VA-76 Spirits as seen in 1962/63 when based USS ENTERPRISE (CVAN-65) during her Med Cruise and during the Cuban Missile Crisis quarantine as part of CVG-6. All new decals (plus one "borrowed" stock one and editated to suit) have been created for the various markings and such.
Other mods include tweeked data and loadout inis. The loadout ini changes the STRIKE loadout to use a TER with 2 Mk82s each (I Like a little more striking power); if you don't want to carry 4 Mk 82 bombs, just delete the loadout ini, and it'll revert back to stock. Or, you can re-edit, remove the RackType reference, and replace with 2 1000 pound Mk.83s. Your choice!. Data ini changes include activating the canopy via a manual animation key (use Shift/0 to open and close), and the addition of the landing light.
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop).
Good Hunting!

EF-4C 'Phantom' WW IV 81st TFS Skin Pak
-- For FULL-4 Merged SF2 (Prefered) and/or SF2:V/SF2:E =ONLY!!!=
(it can acutally be used in any SF2 install that has the access to the F-4C_67)
This is to fill a request presented to me by daddyairplanes, to add a new skin for the 81st TFS, 52nd TFW, USAFE, based at Spangdahlem AFB from 1973-79ish, where they were the only SEAD-dedicated squadron in theatre. The EF-4Cs were replaced by F-4G WW Vs, which were in turn replaced by F-16CJs. Even though the 81st now flys Hogs, but, ya get the picture! <grin>
It is designed to add to the "sf2 EF-4C Update Pak" released recently. You can find the update pak at CombatAce, at the following URL:
http://combatace.com/files/file/11630-ef-4c-phantom-wild-weasel-iv-for-sf2/
It should be noted, that =THIS= skin is for a European based squadron, so if installilng into a stand-alone SF2:E -make double damn sure you have the F-4C_67 avialabile on you planes list!!!!! (Merged installs, and those users that have run the SF2E.exe to create a SF2E mods folder should have the aircraft already) When in doubt about mods folders, consult the CA Knowledge Base.
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop).

This skin/decal set is designed for use =ONLY= on the TMF F-4E ARN-101, as this
is the proper airframe for the time period depicted. You can find/download the
aircraft at the following URL:
http://combatace.com/files/file/9268-mirage-factory-f-4e-phantom-arn-101-for-sf2
-series/
You MUST install this aircraft first, before applying this skinpak.
This is a fictional skin, representing the 45th TFW's 3 squadrons, as seen in the
Richard Herman novel "The Warbirds". The novel tells the story of a fictional
Persian Gulf war, wherein the 45th are (basically) the only US Air Power in
the region. I won't go into the storyline, but since it all revolves around a
Phantom unit (the book says it's the last USAF Phantom unit, btw), and EVERYONE
love Phantoms ... it's a no brainer, eh?
The 3 Squadrons of the Wing are represented. They are:
377th TFS
378th TFS
379th TFS
They carry the tail badges as when assigned to RAF Stonewood. After much
discussion with the Resident Experts , it was decieded that the 45th's
deployment to Ras Assanya was just that -a deployment-, and they would still
carry the codes from their parent unit or base. Each squdron also has it's own
tailfin color flash.
A slightly modified Loadout ini is included, with some weapons changes (back to
Iron Bombs ). In reality, these late-model aircraft were used more on PGM
delivery (ie: laser guided bombs) than 'dumb-bombs'. The Dumb Bombs fit more with
the descriptions in the book.
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package
has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT
easier to install (read: drag and drop).
Don't forget to read the "Notes & Other Nonsense" for various and sundry
ramblings of a madman, and Full Credits.
Good Hunting!

F-4J(UK) Phantom II
By Wrench
F-4J (UK), Royal Air Force
=For SF2, Any and All (Full-4 Merged Reccomended/Preferred,etc)
This package will create a new aircraft, the F-4J(UK), as used by the RAF in the post-Falklands era, by No. 74 "Tiger" Squadron. This mod uses ALL stock, in game items for weapons (excepting the SUU-23black gunpod included, just in case you ain't got it). No lods or cockpit bits are supplied, as everything is referenced from the stock 3W USN/USMC F-4J. Loadouts have been adjusted to use RAF weapons.
Almost all new decals have been created, with 100% accurate serial and ID call letters for the 15 aircraft taken from US stocks to beef-up UK Air Defense. Historically, 74 was used pretty much ONLY in the AD role, but for fun & playability I've left all the other mission statements intact, excepting SEAD.
2 skins are supplied with this pak, making use of the 'change skin by year switch' from some previous patch or another. They are:
3-tone grays w/plane tail (1982-1987)
3-tone grays w/all black tail (1987-??)
**Please Note: these are Hi-Rez skins, at 2048x2048. End Users with weaker machines may need to resize down 1 step**
All decals are the same for both skins; several of which are taken from Sundowners' original mod -why waste good decals?.
Decal radomization is set to TRUE, so be at whatever patch level is requried (post May/June/whatever!)
For fun, you might want to LOOK at the supplied numberlist -- look closley at the vertical column of call letters for the 1st six aircraft. See if you can see what it says!
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! The expected "Notes" section as well, for those interested.
With special thanks to Ant for uploading his Phantom templates some time ago -- it sure makes life easier when you've go the best to work with!! Any/all mistakes are mine, and mine alone.
Happy Landings!

F-104G, ROCAF
By Wrench
F-104G Starfighter, ROCAF Skin & Decal Pak
A rebadging of the stock F-104G Starfighter to those as used by the Republic of China (aka: Taiwan) from the mid-1960s until their retirment in the late 1990s.
As such, it should be considered as a 'generic' skin; although the serials and ID numbers are accurate, it represents no particular unit. The serials and ID numbers represent the first 40ish 104Gs the ROCAF acquired.
Although built and designed for use in SF2 series sims, it's easily backdated for use on SF/Wo* 1st Gens as well. I've even included a SF/Wo* series type Decals ini, ready for use.
For SF2 users, a modified F-104G_UserList.ini is included, with corrected service dates for Taiwan.
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions. I've tried to make it as simple and easy as possible.
A perfect addition to Gepards' Formosa Terrain!
Good Hunting!

P-2H Neptune MLD (Netherlands Naval Air Service)
By Wrench
P-2H "Neptune" RNNAS (MLD) Skin/Decals Pak
-- For SF2, Any & All --
This skin and decal pak is for the P-2H Neptune, and recreates aircraft from 320 Squadron, Royal Netherlands Naval Air Service (aka Marine-Luchtvaartdienst or MLD), in the 1970s.
Designed for the recently released SF2 upgrade, which can be found here:
http://combatace.com/files/file/11914-p-2h-neptune-skinsdecals-and-ini-update-pak/
(yes, shameless self-promotion!)
This adds another user's skin, with (hopefully!) historically accurate markings and serials.
Another minor tweek, is the canopy glass tga has now been made fully transparant.
As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install. A note about the canopy glass tga is in here too!
Happy Hunting!

JASDF F-86 Sabre Skin Pak
By Wrench
JSADF F-86F-40 Sabre Skin Pak
=For SF2 & SF/SFG/WoV/WoE and maybe WoI @ 08 Levels and above=
Something to fill the gap for early usage by the JASDF, from it's formation in 1954, until the mid/late 1960s when the F-104s began replacing them.
You MUST have the F-86F-40 installed first, before installing these skins (duh!). Although all Zur's Sabres are mapped identically, these are for the F-40 variant, and NOT the standard or garden variety F-86F (although the JASDF DID use/build a lot of F variants)
The 4 JASDF Squadron represented here are:
1 Hikotai
3 Hikotai
6 Hikotai
8 Hikotai
While designed with SF2 installs in mind (this was tested in my full-4 merged), it can also be used in 1st Gens, with some minor editing. I've suppled a 'blank' SF/Wo* F-86-40.ini (blank meaning it has no textureset listings), and full instructions for use in 1st Gens, found down below in the "To Insall" section. Be advised, I no longer mod for 1st Gen Series, excepet for WW2 (and I'm trying like crazy to get THEM updated...), so if you can't figure it out...
All have accurate serial numbers assigned, as per squadron (rated at 90%, as I couldn't find each and every one of the 18 A/C per squadron, so 1-3 are 'fill-ins'. Rest assured, however, they ARE correct either for NAA or Mistubishi/Fuji built versions). While the number.lst in included, it's been deactivated as for to keep you from running out of numbers while playing; what with only 18 aircraft per squadron, this is a VERY real possibility. It's easily reactivated by a simple rename. A 'generic' patch is included, also renamed to remove it. SF2 seems to have some kind of 'issue' with the paintchip/patch, in that it shfits the squadron selextions in the dropdown to the left a bit, making it hard to read.
For SF2 only, there are a new SF2 style plane-jane Hangar Screen, a new avionics ini that activtes the gun ranging-only radar (puts the yellow diamnomd on the target when within range),a =very= incomplete UserList.ini, and an extra main ini for SF/Wo* 1st Gen usage. The avioinics.ini =NOT= usable in SF/Wo* 1st Gens, except with the possiblity of WoI with the new Suez Expansion Pak. This has =NOT= been tested, as I don't have the WoI Expansion.
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, highly detailed, step-by-step install instructions. For those wishing to install to 1st Gen games, =PLEASE= make double damn sure you read the special section for you. I've tried to keep it as simple a possible, while covering all bases.
It is HIGHLY suggested you read this document through before installing the mod, to make sure you understand what's to be accomplished.
Good Hunting!!

Ethiopian Air Force F-86F-40 Sabre Skin & Decal Pak
By Wrench
Ethiopian AF F-86F-40 Sabre Skin Pak
= For SF2, Any and All =
A new skin/decal pak for the Sabre, representing those as flown by the Ethiopian Air Force in the 1960s through the mid-1970s. Designed specifically for the F-40 (as this model/lod has the least in-game problems -ie shadow probs), it can be used on any version as they're all mapped the same. However, what little data is availalbe seems to suggest the later 'hard winged' versions. So, stick to that one
A modifed Loadout ini, with Ethiopian nation-specific loads, is included, as they never seemed to have been fitted with Sidewinders. This A-A load has been eliminated via the magic of that recently (as of Sept/Oct 2011 patch) implemented trick. Ground attack loadouts using rockets keep the 8 HVAR loads. All others are the same as before.
A new "Userlist.ini" is also included, that replaces the one from my JASDF Sabre Pak. It would be advisable to add THIS package over that one, or you'll be editing the main ini to add the Userlist line.
Serial numbers are/have been extrapolated from the 3 known photos - one of which was a derlict camo aircraft, and are not 100% historically accurate (excepting 251 and 258). The aircraft is in Natural Metal, as delivered from the USA. Sometime in the 1970s, the EtAF recieved several dozen from Iranian stocks, which were painted in the same camo colors as the IIAF F-5s. That skin may be forthcoming...who knows!
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
Happy Landings!
