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:
 

USN / USMC Skins for Fast Cargo's F-5F. Read me included.
Hope you guys enjoy,

SF2 T-34A Mentor (RCAF) Skin Pack by Wrench       1/20/2023
-For SF2, Any and All-
A new skin for RUssoUK's fun little T-34A Mentor recreate the 25 as used by the RCAF from 1954 - 1956. These had a very short service life in Canada, and were passed on to other NATO/MADSC allies.
The aircraft itself can be fond at the following URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/17995-sf2-t-34a-mentor-usaf-upgrade-pack-by-russoukwrench  /
ALL markings are decals and Decal Randomization is TRUE. There are 25 serial/Buzz numbers for the aircraft. These are 100% historically correct. The skin itself is in jpg format.
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.
Happy Landings!

SF Vietnam Scooters - v0.95
===========================
*** SF2, SF2V required. Tested in full 5-merged installation ***
This pack includes 111 Skins for Thirdwires A-4 Skyhawk-models during Vietnam war from 1964 to 1972. It combines the former v0.01 and v0.02 releases into 1 pack.
The data.inis for the planes itself are changed from the stockfiles (rearranged weaponsstations, added invisible skids for belly-landings, added new droptanks and missilerails, etc.).
Sometimes a skin is provided for 2 different Skyhawk-models. This is done to represent different changes througout an ongoing deployment:
- transition from one Skyhawk-variant to another (for example A-4E to A-4F)
- retrofit of ECM-equipment (Project Shoehorn) (A-4C to A-4C_65, A-4E to A-4E_65, A-4E_65 to A-4E_67)
- change in Camouflage (VA-155)
Skins included (Timeframe 1964 to 1972):
(compl.) means, that skins, for all deployments to Vietnam are finished for a squadron.
Navy Squadrons:
VA-12 Flying Ubangis (compl.)
VA-15 Valions (1 of 2)
VA-22 Fighting Redcocks (compl.)
VA-23 Black Knights (compl.)
VA-34 Blue Blasters (compl.)
VA-36 Roadrunners (compl.)

Unfortunately I failed at finishing this MOD! For different reasons, I decided to not invest any more time into this.
I hope you can still enjoy this pack. Have fun!
 
Unpacking and installation:
===========================
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
!!! I recommend using this pack for a standalone-Vietnam-War MOD-folder, as planes.inis are changed accordingly
!!! That means, that no exportusers are in userlist.ini
Backup your A-4B. A-4B_65, A-4C, A-4C_65, A-4E, A-4E_65, A-4E_67 and A-4F planefolders, as .inis will be overwritten
1. Create a temporary folder, copy all 3 zip-files into that folder and unpack them into this folder (overwrite is ok)
Info: If you do NOT want to include the changed data.inis to your installation, just go to all planes-folders in the temporary folder (Objects/Aircraft/A-4B, etc.) and delete all ini.files in each planes-folder.
2. open "Put_Contents_In_Your_MOD_Folder" from the temporary folder and copy the contents you want to your Vietnam-MOD-folder
3. if asked to overwrite, say 'yes'
4. Thats it!

SF2 C-130A Hercules (3w) UPgrade Pack                    8/29/2022
-For SF2 (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
This package contains various bits to upgrade the stock 1stGen 3rdWire C-130A "Hercules" to something a bit more then just eye candy. Although, it WILL improve the eye candy. Be advised, that the LODs for the aircraft are =NOT= included, so End Users (tm) will have to extract them (there are 5 lods) from the SF1, WoE or WoV main Object cats. See "Notes" below for their actual file names.
If at some point in the past, you have already extracted and imported the 3W Herk in your SF2 installs, be advised THIS mod uses a unique folder name identifer. You'd be well advised to use =this= one, as all the pathways have been written with the unique name in mind. AND as such the Game Engine (tm) will not overwrite a stock AI-only aircraft made player usable, and it will remain player flyable.
Included skins are:
"USAFSilver1" - stock NMF, a generic skin
"USAFSEA2"    - a 3-tone VietNam era camo, representing 21st TAS 
"Desert"      - generic Desert camo
"TN"          - 118th AW, TN ANG (late light grey)
All skins remain in their original bmp format.
All National Markings are decals (stock). New decal sets were created using historically correct "A" model serial numbers. While correct, they should be considered 'generic' in nature, representing NO particular unit(s). Decal randomization is TRUE for all. The NMF and Desert use the same pool of 26 serials. The SEA camo uses 26 in the correct VN era style. I was unable to run down those serials for aircraft in the 21st TAS, so like the others, are generic in nature, but correct for the model and style presentation.
The SF2 date switch IS active for the SEA came (1967) and the TN ANG (1980). The desert and NMF are selectable via the loadout screen.
A full cockpit (albeit not quite a Herk pit), all necessary inis, sounds, etc are included. However, a 'Userlist.ini' is NOT. Exportation is TRUE, so expect to see them parked wearing various and sundry markings.
When in game, you'll see:
C-130A Hercules (TM)3W
On the aircraft selection drop-down menu. This will ID it as the stock aircraft, seperate from the (superb!) model done by Dels.
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!!! Also, the Notes section has more details on the changes.
Happy Landings!

SF2 F-102A (v2k) ANG Skins & Decals Pack         8/2/2022
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)-
This package contains 3 new Air National Guard skins & decal sets for Veltro2k's F-102A Delta Dart. This package covers Darts used by the Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut ANGs.
On the skin/unit selection drop down menu, on the Loadout screen you'll see:
146th FIS, PA ANG (61-75)
102nd FIS, NY ANG SEA Camo (72-75)
118th FIS, CT ANG (66-71)
Almost all markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. ALL serial numbers are 100% historically accurate for each of the units depicted. Each unit has been supplied with 26 serial numbers (probably more than when actually in service). The SF2 "date switch" IS active.

Esta es una skin para el A4-AR Fightinghawk basado en la pintura real del mismo. El A-4AR Fightinghawk es actualmente usado por el Grupo 5 de Caza (G5C) con base en Villa Reynolds, provincia de San Luis.
Esta skin esta hecha desde cero hasta inclusive las calcas, que debido a que no encontré en alta definición las hice a mano. Si hay algún dato que le de mas precisión a la skin siéntanse libres de hacérmelo saber para tener en cuenta en una futura actualización.
Créditos para Nyghtfall por las plantillas que utilicé a la hora de crear la skin, y para The Banidos Team por la aeronave (mod necesario para el funcionamiento de la skin).
Siéntanse libres de modificar la skin con la única condición de que me den el crédito necesario, ya que este trabajo me costo horas de trabajo.
Sin nada mas que agregar, suerte y éxitos.

This is a skin for the A4-AR Fightinghawk based on the actual painting of it. The A-4AR Fightinghawk is currently used by Grupo 5 de Caza (G5C) based in Villa Reynolds, San Luis province.
This skin is made from scratch, including the decals, which because I couldn't find them in high definition, I made them by hand. If there is any information that gives the skin more precision, feel free to let me know so I can take it into account in a future update.
Credits to Nyghtfall for the templates I used to create the skin, and to The Banidos Team for the aircraft (mod needed for the skin to work).
Feel free to modify the skin with the only condition that you give me the necessary credit, since this work cost me hours of work.
With nothing more to add, good luck and success.

SF2NA A-4C_65 Pack
= Tested in SF2NA, Full-5 Merged
This project started as a personal customization to improve historically the skins for the CVW-1 A-4C_65's Squadrons  aboard JFK in her maiden cruise.
So,I realize them basically to be used in the Northern Sabre 69 present in the SF2NA Expansion Pack.
The skins are based on the superb Nyghtfall's templates,so much of the credit will be deserved by him.
All the decals was done by me.
All the Bu.Nos are historically correct for all three Squadrons.
 
==========
To Install:
As always raccomended,all in the relative folders in your game(s)
-----------------------------
Credits:
3W for the A-4C_65 model.
Nyghtfall for his  beautiful template
Me for the decals and the small improvements

------------
Know issue:

The only issue is common to all three skins: I collected all the Bu.Nos. assigned to all three Squadron, but was unable to associate the specific Modexes to some of them, so I'll be a bit licensing about this aspect

Legal note:
This package may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware addition.

Esta es una skin para el A4-AR Fightinghawk inspirado en el idolatrado A-4P (B) Skyhawk de la gesta de Malvinas, famosa por ser el grupo de el capitán Pablo Carballo y el teniente Carlos Rinke. Además de su participación elevada en ataque a buques británicos.

Esta es una skin para el A4-AR Fightinghawk inspirado en el A-4P Skyhawk sin pintar del Grupo V de Caza, mas conocido por su apodo "El Tordillo" debido a su similitud con el caballo. El Tordillo se hizo famoso por deshabilitar el HMS Argonaut y el hundimiento del Sir Tristam en el famoso ataque aéreo de bahía Agradable. El matricula C-222 era bastante divisible debido a su falta de camuflaje y este era a su vez uno de los rasgos mas destacables del mismo
Esta skin solamente está inspirada en la pintura del A-4P matricula C-222, sin embargo puede no ser exacto históricamente en algunos aspectos debido al modelo distinto de la aeronave.

Siéntanse libres de modificar la skin con la única condición de que me den el crédito necesario. Seria un descaro decir que me costo muchas horas de trabajo debida a la sencillez del camuflaje en si, pero si tuvo laburo por mi parte.

English:
This is a skin for the A4-AR Fightinghawk inspired by the unpainted A-4P Skyhawk of Fighter Group V, better known by its nickname "El Tordillo" due to its similarity with the horse. El Tordillo became famous for disabling the HMS Argonaut and sinking the Sir Tristam in the famous Pleasant Bay air raid. The C-222 license plate was quite divisible due to its lack of camouflage and this was in turn one of its most notable features.
This skin is only inspired by the painting of the A-4P license plate C-222, however it may not be historically accurate in some aspects due to the different model of the aircraft.
Credits to Nyghtfall for the templates I used to create the skin, and to The Banidos Team for the aircraft (mod needed for the skin to work).
Feel free to modify the skin with the only condition that you give me the necessary credit. It would be cheeky to say that it cost me many hours of work due to the simplicity of the camouflage itself, but it did take work on my part.

SLUFs of grey.
Simple skin pack with a few sets of skins for US Navy A-7E Corsair II. This mod covers late years of use. 
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.
I highly recommend creating a new aircraft - for example A-7E_83. I have added a data file that will add a new pilot and new SJU seat along with HUD inside the cockpit. Just an eye candy thing.  At the end of 1982, Navy SLUFs started to receive new seats and some minor upgrades in avionics. 
A-7E_83_Data will add a new pilot, new seat, make openable canopy and foldable wings. Adds landing light and removes Fuel tanks model objects from stations 2 and 7. As A-7 can not carry fuel tanks there. (you can use this remove_mod from a file on older Corairs also)
The rest of the data file is basically stock one. So still no proper loadouts, rails for Shrikes / HARMs etc. If there will be demand I can upload new highly modified ini files at some point in the future/near future. 
Skins cover the years 1983-1991 for the Atlantic and Pacific Fleet.  Decal set for 'Desert Shiled' VA-46 and VA-72 is slightly different than in the ODS-30AE pack. (it is downgraded so I recommend not messing with this - mixing with original ODS)
Pack contains skins and decals. I have included also decals from the previous pack for hi-viz SLUF. So perhaps you can skip this folder but to be sure you can simply overwrite it. I believe there are two more serial numbers for VA-81 /1986.
Skins sets are made in pairs - two squadrons for CVW for a specific year. 
Skin-set for 1986 VA-82 has one small 'bug' In 1986 they were painting bird flying through A in AJ tail code. But I could not find a clear photo of it. So I decided to go without a bird. This is subject to possible updates of the pack in the future. 
I could not find all proper 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 pack after unp[backing is around 1GB. 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. No need to panic! Fix, post solution, etc... So others can benefit from your fix. 
I put a lot of effort and time, checked everything twice..still gremlins can appear. 
 
QUICK FIX!
I just uploaded an additional seat called - seat_SJU-8. This is the proper seat that is required by optional data.ini.

Simple skin pack with a few sets of skins for Navy versions of A-7 Corsair II - A/B/C/E and E_74.
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.
 *.ini files for loadout, avionics, cockpit, or aircraft data - not included.
Skins cover the years 1970-1982 for the Atlantic and Pacific Fleet.  The pack did not cover Vietnam War CVW deployments.
Pack contains skins and decals. I have included also decals from the upcoming pack for low-viz SLUF. This way it is simpler for me, all decals are in one place, save time, and will not harm anything. 
Skins sets are made in pairs - two squadrons for CVW for a specific year. 
I could not find all proper 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 pack after unp[backing is around 2GB. So make some space for SLUF.
 
All skins, new bump maps, specular and decals are made by me. 
Decals are made by me...but I think I have used one or two decals from MAKOTO pack (VA-192?)
 
report bugs.
enjoy.

SF2 F-102A (v2k) 159th FIS Fl ANG Skin & Decal Pack         7/14/2021
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
This package contains a replacement skin and decal set for Veltor2K's F-102A Delta Dagger. This skin represents the 159th Fighter Interceptor Squadron "Boxin' Gators" of the Florida Air National Guard from 1960 thru 1974. The original skin is found in the "Operation Tainted Cigar" campaign.
The remake of this skin was inspired by some screenshots Viggen posted in the CA SF2 Screenshots thread. Since the decaling was totally inaccurate, I took it upon myself to "make it correct".
26 all new, 100% historically accurate serial number decals were created, including the correct Air National Guard fuselage tag. Decal randomization is TRUE.
On the skin/unit selection drop down menu, on the Loadout screen you'll see:
159th FIS FL ANG (60-74)
With luck, this change will not effect the OTC campaign data ini. If so, End Users (tm) may have to do a little text editing to correct the skin's folder name or displayed name in campaign data ini. I don't know enough about campaign structure to give any real advice.
 
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!!!
Happy Landings!

SF2 F-102A (v2k) 64th FIS Skin & Decal Pack         7/4/2021
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
This package contains all 2 new skins for Veltor2K's F-102A Delta Dagger. They represent the 64th Fighter Interceptor Squadron "Scorpions" from 1956 thru 1969.
Within this package you'll find:
ADC Grey (56-66) when the squadron was based at McChord AFB, WA, and when assigned to PACAF from Clark AFB, PI.
SEA 3 Tone (66-69) when based at Tan Shon Nut, RVN, Clark AFB and in South Korea during the Pueblo Crisis.
Almost all markings are decals, excepting the ADC Grey's tail badge. I experimented with a decal, it didn't look as good as it should have. So, going against my usual practice, it's painted on the fin. All 26 serial/buzz numbers are 100% historically accurate for this squadron, for -both- skins. The 3-tone SEA camo has the proper Tail Code assigned when the squadron was based in the Phillipines and Southeast Asia (Vietnam era), and correct serial presentation. Decal randomization is TRUE. As this unit is listed in the game's SquadronList.ini, their displayed name is activated via my (patent pending) fake "SqTail.tga", and will be visible on the Loadout Screen. 
The SF2 "date switch" is only used on the SEA 3 tone skin with a 1965 start date.
Also included is a (slightly) upgraded AIM-4F Falcon missile, station specific coded for the F-102A.

SF2 F-102A (v2k) Skin & Decal Remod Pack         6/19/2021
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
This package contains all new, corrected decals for Veltro2k's F-102A Delta Dagger. This mod package is designed to be applied to MigBuster's Upgraded Version available at the following URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/9446-f-102a-delta-dagger-veltro2k/
Several of the skins have also recieved replacement skin maps, and the changes are documented in the "Notes" below. These adjusted skins remain in bmp format. Repeat: this is upgrading =ONLY= the skins & replacing decals that came in that package. The units are:
57th FIS (62-73)
317th FIS, AkAC (56-69)
176th FIS WI ANG (66-74)
196th FIS CA ANG (65-74)
431st FIS USAFE (58-64)
460th FIS ADC (58-66)
509th FIS SEA Camo (68<)
and a NEW skin
509th FIS (>1968) in ADC grey, as used in PACAF & SEA before the application of the 3 tone camo.
The years presented in the above, will also be seen in the game's Loading Screen, on the Skin Selection Drop-Down Menu.
Most national insignia are still painted on. All serials & buzz numbers are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Each skin has 26 serial numbers. With few exceptions, =ALL= serials are historically correct for EACH squadron. If all could not be found, 'generic' serials and buzz numbers are used. These are identified by the star (*) symbol. If it does NOT have star, it is 100% correct. Any squadrons that are listed in the game's SquadronList.ini have had their displayed name activated via my (patent pending) fake "SqTail.tga", and will be visible on the Loadout Screen. Also, due to many having painted on insignia, a hidden "Insignia" decal is used to activate the displayed Nation Name.
The SF2 "date switch" is only used on 2 skins; the oldest (317th) with a '1' start date, and the later (509th camo) with a 1968 start date. Any others, which most of them DO fall in-between these two, End Users (tm) will have to select for themselves.

PER READ ME :
SF2 O-1E RCAF Service
A bit of history :
Cessna 305 Bird Dog, L-19E (Serial Nos. 16717-16735).
The Canadian Army originally called No. 1 Air Observation Post No. 1 Air Observation Post Flight (Type A) (Army Component), Royal Canadian Artillery.  This was changed to No. 1 Air Observation Post Flight (Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery) on 15 Feb 1957.  Both used the same abbreviation of No. 1 AOP Flt.
No. 1 AOP moved to Hemer, Germany in March 1960 at Fort Prince of Wales and where it was redesignated as No. 1 Air Observation Post Troop.  They were attached to the 1st Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery as part of 4 Canadian Infantry Brigade Group.  No. 1 AOP Tp moved to Lahr in southern Germany in 1970 with the rest of the Brigade and on 1 Oct 1972, No. 1 AOP Tp and the three other Army aviation elements within 4 CMBG; including the Command and Liaison Flight 4 CMBG HQ, Aircraft Repair Platoon 4 Service Battalion and Helicopter Reconnaissance Troop, C Squadron Royal Canadian Dragoons, were amalgamated and became No. 444 Tactical Helicopter Squadron.

**NOTE: you have to get the SF2 Cessna O-1E BirdDog Upgrade Pak -for 3rdWire O-1E- located at : https://combatace.com/files/file/12268-cessna-o-1e-birddog-upgrade-pak-for-3rdwire-o-1e/ in order to make this work as it's not a completed plane that is included, just the files to add the RCAF schemes/Sqn.
Serials and units are the real one's for the O-1E in service with the RCAF
Royal Canadian Air Force : 
1957 - JATC 
1957 - No. 1 AOP Flt.
1957-1965 - No. 1 AOP Trp.
1965-1970 - No. 1 AOP Trp.
1970-1974 - No. 4 CMBG HQ
1972-2005 - Royal Canadian Air Cadets
*** Make a back-up of the original files if you do not like the current work ***
- Delete the Objects/Decals/O-1E/Canada folder
- Delete the Objects/Aircraft/O-1E/Canada folder
Copy/Paste the /Objects folder DIRECTLY into the SF2 game install of choice's /Objects folder. It's already divided into the /Aircraft and /Decals sub-folders. 
.ini editing :
- In the ORIGINAL O-1E.ini, remove the [TextureSet???] associated with the Canada nation from the file.
- Add the entries from the O-1E.ini file of this pack and change numbers in the sequence accordingly in order for the whole thing to work as intended.
