    1. SF2:E F-86F-40 Sabre, USAFE Skin Pak Part 3

      By Wrench

      SF2:E F-86F-40 Sabre, USAFE Skin Pak Part 3 2/11/16
       
      -- For SF-2, FULL-5 merged, Reccomended --
       
      This mod is third (and hopefully final) skin/decal pack represening F-86F Sabres as used by the USAFE.
      It can (and should) be applied to the recently uploaded "SF2:E F-86F-40 Sabre, USAFE Skin Pak
      available at the following url:
       
      http://combatace.com/topic/88262-sf2e-f-86f-40-sabre-usafe-skin-pak/
       
      It is adivsed you have Part 1 & Part 2 installed in the SF2:E mods folder first.
      In other words, like Parts 1 & 2, this is a European-centric skin/decals package only!!
       
      In this package are skins for Sabres from the 21st FBW, USAFE, in the mid-1950s ...
       
      72nd FDS (Red
      416th FBS (Med. Blue)
      531st FBS (Yellow)
       
      Almost all markings are decals, however the squadron nose & tail markings (colors & stars) are painted on. A fake "SqTail" decal is used to activate the Squadron Displayed Name on the Loadout Screen (these are stock units, listed in the game's SquadronList.ini). All skins use a "pool" of serial Serial and buzz numbers; while these should be considered 'generic' in nature, are for the variant depicted. Decal randomization is TRUE. All skins are in jpg format.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them! Also, as this mod pack is specificly designed for an SF2:E (Europe) install,
       
      Just so we're clear on everything, once again, this is for use in Europe (SF2:E) ONLY!!!
       
      Happy Landings!

    2. SF2 F-86F-40 Sabre, USAFE Part 1 Fix-It Skin Pak

      By Wrench

      SF2 F-86F-40 Sabre, USAFE Part 1 Fix-It Skin Pak 2/9/16
       
      This pack contains replacement "1" maps for the aircraft recently released in the
      SF2:E F-86F-40 Sabre, USAFE Skin Pak (Part 1), avaliable at the following URL:
       
      http://combatace.com/files/file/16039-sf2e-f-86f-40-sabre-usafe-skin-pak/
       
      It has been brought to my attention that I was in error in leaving on the anti-glare panel on the nose. This will replace them with 1 maps that don't have the A-G panel. My apologies!
       
      Simply unzip, and drop the supplied /Objects folder into the mods folder where you installed the original pak. Allow the overwrite.
       
      The Part 1 Package will also be getting updated with these corrected skins, for those that have not downloaded it yet. In other words, if you have them already, you won't need to download the whole package again, but should use THIS package
      Happy Landings!

    3. SF2:E F-86F-40 Sabre, USAFE Skin Pak

      By Wrench

      SF2:E F-86F-40 Sabre, USAFE Skin Pak 2/7/16
       
      -- For SF-2, FULL-5 merged, Reccomended --
       
      This mod is to be applied to the "F-86F-40 Remod Pak", available at the following url:
       
      http://combatace.com/files/file/13788-sf2-f-86f-40-sabre-remod-pak/
       
      It is also advised, if/when installing both the original Remod Pak and these skins in SF2:E you =MUST= remove any/all other skins for non-European based users (such as JASDF, IIAF, EtAF). This will preclude any "oddites" that you might see over The Continent. See "Notes" below for more information on the included data and loadout inis.
      In other words, this is a European-centric skin/decals/ini package only!!
       
      In this package are skins for Sabres from the 50th FWB, USAFE, in the mid-1950s ...
       
      10th FBS
      81st FBS
      417th FBS
       
      also a remoded/corrected version of the...
       
      461st FDS, 36th FDW (corrected FDW)
       
      skin/decal ini with 'fixed' tail skin, and corrected Wing affiliation in the texture set ini. Also, a "Level 1 decal" has been added, activating the Squadron Displayed Name on the Loadout Screen. When installing, just allow the overwrite for this skin.
       
      I've been unable to run down exactly WHICH F-86F version was used by these squadron, so simply chose to use the F-40, given the time frame they operated them (1953-58-ish).
      As all the Sabres are mapped the same, can be used for any of the F-86F variants. However, if NOT using this on the -40 model, do =NOT= use the included data ini!! (but you can copy the changes, which are the 1950s pilot figure and 'steerable nose gear' callouts)
       
      Almost all markings are decals, with the exceptions of the nose color bands for the 50th FBW birds. Tail bands are decals, at Level=1, and will activate the Squadron Displayed Name on the Loadout Screen (these are stock units,
      listed in the game's SquadronList.ini). All skins use a "pool" of serial Serial and buzz numbers; while these should be considered 'generic' in nature, are for the variant depicted. Decal randomization is TRUE. All skins are in jpg format.
       
      As well as a slightly tweeked data ini, a new "USAFE only" style loadout ini is included. . REMINDER -- this loadout ini is =ONLY= for use by American Sabres (this version) as used in the SF2:E mods folder!!! Don't use it anywhere else!
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them! Also, as this mod pack is specificly designed for an SF2:E (Europe) install, PLEASE read the "Notes" section for important information on the 2 inis included!
      It is HIGHLY ADVISED you read this document through, after unzipping, but BEFORE installing to you game.
      Just so we're clear on everything, this is for use in Europe (SF2:E) ONLY!!!
       
      Happy Landings!

      Update 2/9/2016:
       
      Replaced "1.jpg" on all skins, removed anti-glare panel.

    4. Canadair CF-104 Starfighter skins

      By Sheriff001

      Introduction
       
      I have made new skins for the Canadair CF-104 Starfighter. These skins show all the normal Royal Canadian Air Force/Canadian Armed Forces CF-104 schemes. Fuel tanks are included. Aircraft.ini files removing TK's CF-104 skins are also included.
       
      Skins
       
      The following skins are provided:
      CF-104 RCAF Natural Metal (Canada-based) RCAF Natural Metal (Germany-based) RCAF Natural Metal post-1965 (Canada-based) RCAF Natural Metal post-1965 (Germany-based) CAF Natural Metal (Canada-based) CAF Natural Metal (Germany-based)
      [*]CF-104_72
      CAF Natural Metal (Canada-based) CAF Natural Metal (Germany-based) CAF Green CAF Symmetrical Natural Metal (Canada-based) CAF Symmetrical Natural Metal (Germany-based) CAF Symmetrical Green
      [*]CF-104_76
      CAF Symmetrical Natural Metal (Canada-based) CAF Symmetrical Natural Metal (Germany-based) CAF Symmetrical Green CAF Symmetrical Camo



      I have provided 20 serial numbers. Anyone wishing to make additional serials will find PSD templates, and the RCAF font in the extra's folder. Use 22-point for pre-unification serials, 16-point for unification serials, and 48-point for buzz numbers.
       
      I have also included fuel tank templates which I have created.
       
      No instructions or files have been added to make the CF-104 flyable, however plenty is available on combatace.com on this subject. What works for the F-104G will work for the CF-104. I recommend making the aircraft ini files read only.
       
      Template used: http://combatace.com/files/file/5474-f-104g-photoshop-template/
       
      Changes
       
      Removed CAF Green from CF-104, removed scratches from all skins, adjusted specular, glossiness and reflection values on natural metal skins, added SM files to natural metal skins. Fixed decals to remove white borders.
       
      Installation Instructions
       
      Copy the contents of "ModFolder" into your mod folder. Over-write where necessary.
       
      Credits
      TK: SF2, stock CF-104 Bobrock - F-104 template Littlesmoke - CF-104 NATO skin (used for 'tracing' the camo skin) Paulopanz - natural metal skins advice

      If there are any problems, or omisions in the credits, please send me a PM.

    7. NOTU A-4E Skyhawk

      By ST0RM

      My latest Flight Test scheme is an A-4E Skyhawk from the Naval Air Test Center, Ordnance Test Unit, China Lake, circa 1968.
       
      To install, simply drop everything into your MOD folder.
       
      I've included the VHF antenna Russouk2004 made for me, as the TW stock A-4E was missing it. It's already added to the jet via my enclosed DATA.ini file.
       
      Please add the following text to the SquadronList.ini
       
      [squadronXXX]
      Name=VX31
      DisplayName=VX-31 Red Devils
      Nation=USN
       
      I know Test schemes aren't for everyone, so for those that appreciate the old days of Flight Test, this is for you.
       
      Thanks again to Russouk2004 for the antenna, And Wrench for the assist with the aux fuel tank decal tip. And of course TK for the base files.

    23. 906th TFG/89th TFS Circa 1982-1989

      By Dave

      906th TFG/89th TFS Skin pack for F-4D_78. It covers all schemes used (SEA, Euro and Hill Grey) and uses the actual tail codes the unit flew with.
       
      This skin represents the 906th TFG/89th TFS, USAF Reserve F-4D's from Wright Patterson AFB, Dayton Ohio circa 1982-1989.
       
      The 89th traces its lineage to that of a troop carrier squadron during World War II, flying the Douglas C-47 Skytrain from 1943 – 1945. The 89th earned a Distinguished Unit citation for their efforts in the air assault during the D-Day invasion of France on the 6th of June 1944. The 89th flew throughout the European campaign including the Battle of the Buldge. The squadron was stationed at Baer Field, IN, Sedalia AAFLD, MO, Laurin –Maxton AAB, NC, and various fields throughout the European Theater. The 89th also flew various types of gliders during the same period including the CG-4, CG-13 and the British made Horsa 1-A. Missions included airlift, airdrop, air evacuation and glider towing.
       
      After the conclusion of WWII, the 89th was deactivated. In 1949 the 89th was activated in the Air Force Reserve as a Troop Carrier Squadron (medium). The unit flew the C-45 Expediter which was a military version of the Beechcraft Model 18 commercial transport. The squadron was stationed at Offutt AFB, NE, during the period.
       
      The 89th also flew the C-46 Commando along with the C-45. The C-46 was a variant of the Curtis CW-20 commercial transport. The Commando carried more cargo than the famous C-47 and offered better performance at higher altitudes, but required more maintenance and had a higher loss rate. The C-46 was also flown by the 89th at Offutt AFB, NE.
       
      The C-47 was flown again by the 89th during the same period as the C-45 and C-46 at Offutt AFB, NE. Missions included air, land, airdrop, and air evacuation. The 89th was ordered to active service during the Korean Conflict for a brief period in 1951.
       
      In 1952, the 89th became a fighter-Bomber Squadron moving to Mitchell Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The unit began flying the F-51. The F-51 Mustang was best remembered by its former designation as the P-51. The F-51 was powered by a Packard built Merlin V-1650 piston engine producing 1600 hp.
       
      In 1954 the 89th converted to the Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star. The T-33 was the first jet aircraft the 89th flew. Developed from the single seat P-80 fighter by lengthening the fuselage three feet to allow for a second cockpit. The squadron flew the T-33 at the same time as the F-51 and the F-80 at Mitchell Field, WI.
       
      In 1955 the 89th transitioned to the fighter version of the T-33, the F-80. The F-80 was flown in conjunction with the T-33 at Mitchell Field, WI.
       
      In 1982 the 89th Fighter Squadron reactivated flying the F-4D Phantom II. The 89th flew the –D model, which had an upgraded radar, inertial navigation and other improvements. Missions for the 89th included air-to-air, air to ground, formation and air refueling. The F-4 was affectionately known as the Rhino and was incorporated into the squadron insignia.
       
      In 1989 the 89th converted to the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The F-16 was the most numerous front line fighters from the mid- 1980’s to the 1990’s. The 89th flew the –A and –B model block 10 series airplanes. The –B model was a two seat version of the –A. The 89th F-16A/B’s were powered by Pratt and Whitney F-100-PW-200 turbofan engine producing 25,000 lbs. of thrust with afterburner.
       
      In 1994, the 89th Fighter Squadron was deactivated. The unit was immediately reactivated as the 89th Airlift Squadron and became half of the newly reactivated 445th Airlift Wing. The squadron took on the new mission of strategic long-range cargo transport starting with the C-141C in 1998. In 2005/2006 it converted to the C-5A Galaxy and in 2011 received its first C-17A Globemaster III aircraft. The mission of the 89th Airlift Squadron is to deliver personnel and cargo, on time, anywhere in the world.

      Extra special thanks to ST0RM for the decal sheet scan. It was blind luck that he had what I needed.
       
      VAW-112 is the unit Tk put into the sim as part of the Nimitz battle group. This now gives it markings that will show by default when you fly the campaign or single mission
