Scooters! - Redux - a rework of all my Single-Skin-Releases for Thirdwire A-4 Skyhawks
====================================================================================
 
*** SF2V required. Tested in full 5-merged installation ***
 
For this pack I redid all my previous single-skin releases, brought them on the same level with the Scooters Vol.1 pack and rearranged them. I also corrected several errors from the older versions.
Former VA-153-Skin with optional Coral Sea Marking is split into 2 separate skins for Coral Sea and Constellation now. Some skins are done for different plane-variants to reflect upgrades.
 
So this Pack includes:
- VA-93 Blue Blazers, USS Hancock, 1/1967 to 7/1967 for A-4E_65
- VA-153 Blue Tail Flies, USS Constellation, 5/1966 to 12/1966 for A-4C_65
- VA-153 Blue Tail Flies, USS Coral Sea, 12/1964 to 11/1965 for A-4C and A-4C_65
- VA-163 Saints, USS Oriskany, 6/1967 to 1/1968 for A-4E_65
- VA-164 Ghost Riders, USS Oriskany, 6/1967 to 1/1968 for A-4E-65
- VA-164 Ghost Riders, USS Hancock, 1/1972 to 10/1972 for A-4F and A-4F_LST
- VA-172 Blue Bolts, USS F.D. Roosevelt, 6/1966 to 2/1967 for A-4C-65
- VA-192 Golden Dragons, USS Ticonderoga, 10/1966 to 5/1967 for A-4E_65 and A-4E_67
 
Updates include:
- Added Weathering, that most early skins missed.
- Insignia and several squadronspecific markings are painted on.
- Many decals are redone and optimised (more blur for less flickering)
- Corrected several errors in the baseskin, aswell as for the markings.
- Added modexnumbers to the flap insides (possible with mue's great LOD-Viewer - Thanks mate!)
- Updated cockpit with working Landing Gear- and Arresting Hook Lever
- Included Hangarscreens for each skin in 1920x1080 as default and 1024x768 optional.
 

Notes and Issues:
=================
As there's no possibility of squadrons with mixed plane-variants, some skins are available for 2 plane-variants. At some point A-4C and A-4E got ECM-equipment and I'm pretty sure, those were used besides planes without ECM in squadrons. The other case are A-4E, that got the avionics hump at some point and were used besides ones without hump.
 

I hope you have fun with it!

SF2 DC-4 (C-54) TOPAC Airlines Skin Pack 6/15/2015
 
= For SF2 (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED) =
 
This is a new, civilian skin for Veltro2k's C-54 Skymaster cargo plane. If you don't have it, you can get the aircraft at the following URL:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/14309-sf2-douglas-c-54-skymaster-by-veltro2k/
 
The skin represents the (fictional) Trans-Orient Pacific Airlines as seen in the movie "The High and The Mighty". Although the colors are correct for the real world company.
The registration numbers ARE 100% historicaly correct for the aircraft depicted, although used by Transocean Airlines (whose aircraft were used for the film, of course, repainted to the TOPAC "brand"), based out of Oakland CA in the late 1940s through the late 1960s. They used up to 68 DC-4 & ex-USA(A)F C-54s for passanger and cargo transport, worldwide.
The skin is in jpg format. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The aircraft registration marked with a star (*) is the aircraft used in the film.
While this DOES depict a civilian airliner, the "nation" has been attached to 'USAF', as the Real Company DID do contract work from them
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for the install instructions.
 
Happy Landings!

(please note, this has NOT been placed in the "What If..." hangar, due to the Real World ™ existence of the actual company the aircraft was used by, regardless of "TOPAC" being fictional

SF2 USAF 1950s & Later C-47 Skytrain Skin Pack 6/10/2015
 
= For SF2 (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED, PLUS SF2I EXPANSION SET 1 ) =
 
**You =MUST= have SF2 Expansion Pack 1 to have access to the stock 3W C-47!!!**

Reskins of the stock 3W C-47 skytrain, representing USAF aircraft of the 1950s, and from the mid-50s thru the 1970s.
This package contains 2 skins (names reflect the actual folder names. Displayed names may/will be different):
 
USAF Arctic 1:
 
(displays as same)
As based at Elmendorf AFB, Alaska, and seen in many "points North". The aircraft carries the standard Alaska Air Command early 50s style of red tail and outer wings; and also has the Air Rescue Service yellow band and fuselage placard, with the AAC badge on the tail. Research has indicated either the 17th or 54th Troop Carrier Squadrons (which were based at Elmendorf in the early 1950s). This skin is also representative of the Skytrain as seen in the movie "The Thing from Another World (1951)". That aircraft is represented, including it's nose art. See Notes for more details on "Tropical Tilly".
 
USAF NM 2:
 
(displays as USAF NM/White (Late) )
This skin uses the SF2 date switch, and will turn on in 1955.
Standard post-1955, natural metal with heat refelctive white painted upper cabin (fuselage). Carries no unit or numbered AF badges, not even the MATS badge. Serial numbers carry the "0" (zero) prefix, designating aircraft 10 or more years of age.

All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. While serial numbers are correct for the aircraft depicted, they should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent no specific aircraft or unit. 18 serial number decals are provided for each aircraft. Skins remain in bmp format (I was lazy!)
Also included are the cockpit (for those that haven't made it flyable yet) updated/revamped data, avionics, userlist inis, plus pilot figures and engine sound. I've also given you my (patent-pending) "One Click Restore" main ini. There are no hangar or loading screens for either of these 2 skins (I lied -- there's one. You'll see it!).
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for the install instructions.
 
Happy Landings!

This is just a small mod to enhance the already existing mod of the French F-100D Super Sabre.
I used hgbn's template as a starting point to create 2048x2048 skins for this mod. The skins now also have French warning markings instead of the stock english ones.
I didn't remake all of the skins, but most of them are there.
Sorry, didn't do the shark teeth. I need to redraw them in Illustrator.. one day.
 
Installation:
 
Before you download this, you need this mod first:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/11566-f-100d-arm%C3%A9e-de-lair-complete/
 
Then you can replace the skins in the aircraft's respective skin folders.
I used the same folder names of course.

PAF Sabres HD generic Skins.
 
Presented are a couple of Generic HD quality Skins to portray the PAF Aircraft which fought in the wars of 65' and 71'.Two skins are contained,one for the F-86F(Silver) and another for the Cl-13B(EuroCam).
 
The base skins were borrowed from the Luftwaffe F-86 Pack.The skins are 2048x2048 so those with older systems should resize to a lower resolution.I have modified the colours of the Euro Cam skin to give it a distressed look showing service under wartime conditions with little maintainance.Realistic dirt as well as wear and tear have been added to both skins.The Roundels and Fin Flash do not use Decals but are part of the skins themselves.This Skin pack is meant to represent a Generic look hence no decals are provided though you can get the decals from one of the many PAF Sabre packs on Combatace.Both skins by default have a dirty gunport but clean variants are also provided as an option.These skins are compatible with all models of the F-86.
 
Use:
Simply unzip and place the skin folders in the folder of your aircraft.
 
IMPORTANT:
I HEREBY CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF THE CHANGES THIS MOD MAY RENDER TO YOUR GAME(Even though it doesn't).IF THIS MOD IS INSTALLED,THEN IT IS DONE ONLY BY THE WILL OF THE USER AND I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS.INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK.(The mod is perfectly safe,but I still claim no responsibility just to be safe!)
 
You have permission to modify these textures for your own mod(s) as long as I(lazarus1177) am acknowledged as the original author.
 
If you have any concerns about my mod(s),then I can be contacted here at combatace.
