So basically, this is a skin mod imitating the F-16s that appeared in the video released by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense not long ago.
According to the fuselage details and Local S/N, they should have once served in the Esk727 and 730 squadrons of the Royal Danish Air Force, so I copied some of their other Local S/Ns.
Special thanks to:
Viper team provide those great Falcon mod
Usage:
1. Put the "EX_RDAF" folder into your F-16 mod (AM/BM recommended, as link below);
2. Put the "Decals" folder into: your SF2 directory\Objects;
3. Start the game and read your F-16AM, the game will automatically read the data.
https://combatace.com/files/file/12909-european-mlu-vipers/
 

"The F-16 has benefited from a long-running program of improvements to minimize its RCS, under the name Have Glass. With several reports suggesting that a Have Glass V F-16 will, on average, have a 1.2m² radar cross section, compared with about 5m² for an ‘untreated’ F-16, straight off the line."
——info from key.aero
This mod only contains the 157FS version.
Special thanks to:
Viper team provide those great Falcon mod
Usage:
1. Put the "157FS_HG5" folder into your F-16C mod (Block 52 recommended);
2. Put the "Decals" folder into: your SF2 directory\Objects;
3. Start the game and read your F-16CM Block 52, the game will automatically read the data.

                                  Hogs in Reserve: A-10A in Air Force Reserve Service, 1990s
This is a skin and decal mod to bring the A-10s of the US Air Force Reserves throughout the 1990s to SF2
It features skins for both the European 1 green skins as well as the Grey Compass Ghost scheme that the Hogs settled into as the 90s progressed.
Although considered a part time frorce, the AFRES hogs were quite busy throughout the 1990s supporting operations in the Balkans and over Northern Iraq. This mod has pinpointed the aircraft of each unit as accurately as possible within each unit
    
Note: the 706th Fighter Squadron is covered from 1996 on, not the aircraft the squadron used in Desert Storm. most of those went to the boneyard shortly after coming home as the squadron converted to F-16s for a few years.

        Included
Skins and decals for 4 AFRES A-10 squadrons: the 45th FS "IN", 47th FS "BD", 303rd FS "KC", and 706th FS "NO" post 1996.

F-22A Raptor Skin Pack
October 13th, 2021 (1st Release)
by Menrva

>For Strike Fighters 2 games
This is an extra skin pack for the high quality F-22A Raptor aircraft add-on. Most skins are based on ideas and depictions from other videogames. Here below a list of the included ones:
-YF-22 Paint Scheme (inspired by the real YF-22 prototype)
-Sea Raptor Livery (inspired by the F-22N Sea Raptor concept)
-Saudi Grey Camouflage (as depicted in Digital Image Design's F-22 Total Air War)
-Egyptian Woodland Camouflage (as depicted in Digital Image Design's F-22 Total Air War)
-USAF Pac West Camouflage (as depicted in Digital Image Design's F-22 Total Air War)
-Desert Lightning Camouflage (as depicted in NovaLogic's F-22 Lightning 3)
-Phoenix Livery (from Namco Hometek's Air Combat, as depicted in Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown)
-Phoenix Livery, Dark (as depicted in Project Aces' Ace Combat Infinity)
-Scarface One Livery (as depicted in Namco Hometek's Ace Combat 2)
-Z.O.E., Red Livery (from Namco Hometek's Ace Combat 2, as depicted in Project Aces' Ace Combat Infinity)
-Mobius One, ISAF Livery (as depicted in Project Aces' Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies)
-Abell, Black Livery (as depicted in Project Aces' Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies)
-Razgriz Livery (from Project Aces' Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War, as depicted in Project Aces' Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation)
-Pegas, 3-Tone Blue Camouflage (as depicted in Project Aces' Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation)
-Indigo Wing Livery (as depicted in Project Aces' Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation)
-Gryphus One Livery (from Access Games' Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception, as depicted in Project Aces' Ace Combat Infinity)
-Warwolf Livery (as depicted in Project Aces' Ace Combat: Assault Horizon)
-Mobius One, IUN Livery (as depicted in Project Aces' Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown)
-Trigger Livery (as depicted in Project Aces' Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown)
-JASDF 2-Tone Blue Camouflage (as depicted in Project Aces' Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown)
As a bonus, different aircraft configuration files are included in the "(Alternative Data)" folder. You'll be able to choose between realistic loadouts (default configuration of the aircraft add-on package) and what-if loadouts inspired by the mentioned F-22 videogames of the late 90s, namely weapons included in F-22 Lightning 3. Both configurations are also available with the addition of invisible skids; those will allow you to perform belly landings, which are a feature of good old F-22 Total Air War.
Notes:
-The B61 tactical nuclear bomb is a retarded version, but drop it safely from high altitude at high speed. Take note that it does not damage the stock Runway object, due to the armor values of it. The B61 is meant to be used against naval fleets you may encounter on some custom terrains.
-You need to tweak the SoundList.ini file in order to fully experience any new sounds. Read "(Add to SoundList)" for further details, and remember to extract the SoundList.ini file from the FlightData.cat archive, if you do not have a custom one in your mod folder already.

>Credits (in no particular order):
-yakarov79, for his high quality templates which allowed me to easily put some new paint on the aircraft.
-ravenclaw_007, for sharing some of his latest weapon 3d models for the bonus what-if loadouts.
-Astore, for providing me with better Ace Combat themed emblems, and for being one of the few Italian Ace Combat fans like me.
-godrugalultimate, from DeviantArt, for making incredibly detailed Ace Combat themed decals.
-RythusOmega, for providing all Ace Combat 7 emblems and whose skins have been used as reference for the Phoenix liveries.
-Lanzerince, whose Ace Combat 7 skins have been used as reference for the Scarface livery.
-mue, for his LOD Viewer which helped immensely in the making of the skins.
-Blade, for sharing info about the purpose of the game's decal levels.
-My girlfriend, for supporting me in all of my endeavours.

The RCAF have finally decided in 2023 to bought 11 MQ-9B SkyGuardian armed drones.
5 units will be based with the 8th Wing
5 units will be based with the 16th Wing
1 unit will be based with the 19th Wing
The serail numbers, plane numbers, plane designation have not yet been officialised. I dig down the drone designation within the RCAF and the next available number as for today is the CU-177. So i decided to give it the CU-177 designation. I also decided to give the the serials number 177001 to 177011 to match the RCAF serail designations. 
You will get the CU-177 skin in this package
Installation:

Copy the current pack objects/decals folder in your game GK_General_Atomics_MQ-9Reaper_Blk_30_ER decals folder.
Copy the GK-MQ-9_Blk_30_ER.ini content to the game GK_General_Atomics_MQ-9Reaper_Blk_30_ER aircraft folder and change textureset number accordingly.
Copy the GK-MQ-9_Blk_30_ER_USERLIST.ini content to the game GK_General_Atomics_MQ-9Reaper_Blk_30_ER aircraft folder.

This is a fictional skin to complement the VAQ-562 skin that I released last month. In it you'll find all of the necessary files to use the plane. Simply install it properly and go fly. It can be found under VAQ-562 Line July 2023 in the drop-down menu

This is a variation of my personal skin, with my personal elements removed, and serves as a fictional squadron skin. Not much else can be said other than you can drop this in your EA-18G folder and go fly. It can be found under VAQ-562 CAG July 2023 in the drop-down menu.

The 65th Aggressor Squadron stationed at Naris Air Force Base operated F-15C fighter jets from 2005 to 2014, and used a variety of unique Schemes. This mod is one of the two types they have used. I will use it in the game Called "Blue" and "Tan" in
Made this for my personal campaign "Red Flag", based on the F-15C, to share with you all.
Special thanks to:
Fast Cargo provides a great collection of F-15 packs for the community
Viper63 added accurate machine number decals to his Aggressor pack
usage:
1. Put the "65AGRS_Blue" and "65AGRS_Tan" folders into your F-15C module;
2. Put the "Decals" folder into: your SF2 directory\Objects;
3. Start the game and start your F-15C, the game will automatically inject data.

The 64th Aggressor Squadron, stationed at Naris Air Force Base, use this skin for their F-16C, which is based on a similar skin for the Russian Air Force Su-57
This is made for my personal campaign "Red Flag", Based on F-16C Block30/32, and I will share it with you.
Special thanks to:
Viper team provide those great Falcon mod
Usage:
1. Put the "64_AGRS_Ghost" folder into your F-16 mod (block 30 recommended);
2. Put the "Decals" folder into: your SF2 directory\Objects;
3. Start the game and read your F-16C block 30, the game will automatically read the data.

A Simple F-22 Tests New Coating, Spotted in 2022
usage:
Put the 422TES_Chrome folder into Menrva's F-22 mod, then start the game once and select F-22, the game engine will automatically inject the skin
P.S. Since SF2 does not seem to support setting the material of some areas separately, I cannot restore the mirror effect of the coating in reality, so I set it to visually white.
The reflection effect is solved, but maybe you will notice that in many cases it looks a bit blue-gray, which we think is caused by the color of the reflected sky.
 

This is a rendition of the current VFA-211 line bird scheme with VFA-211.
Drop in your FA-18E_BlkII folder and go fly, and can be found under VFA-211 Line in the skin selection menu.

Since VAQ-129 is the US Navy's Fleet Replacement Squadron there are a variety of numbers that the aircraft uses. I tried to get most of them listed but I'm sure I missed some here and there given the state of my reference photos and resources. It's not designed to be exhaustive, but include the numbers I have seen
The file structure is the same so just unzip and place in your mod folder and it shouldn't need to overwrite.

This is the standard scheme for the line aircraft of VAQ-141 Shadowhawks.
Simply extract the file and place in your EA-18G folder. It can be found under VAQ-141 Shadowhawks in the drop down menu.

This is a representation  (the best I could do with the tail decal) of the VAQ-142 CAG jet in March 2021
Simply drop in your EA-18G folder and go fly. This can be found in  the drop-down menu for the aircraft. Select "VAQ-142 CAG March 2021" and go fly.

This represents the VAQ-134 "Garudas" CAG bird in May 2020. Unzip the file to a folder and then drop in your EA-18G folder and go fly. Select VAQ-134 CAG May 2020 from the drop down list and go fly.

This is just a skin of 00 of the US Navy Test Pilots School. Simply drop in your FA-18F_BlkII folder and go fly. It can be found under USNTPS in the drop-down menu.

This is a skin that I found in my image repository of VX aircraft and represents a Growler from VX-23. Simply download the file and extract it. Put the VX-23 folder in your EA-18G folder and go fly. Can be found under the dropdown menu "VX-23 Strike Test".

I named this as "Black Scheme 2" because I was already working on one VFC-12 actual scheme. Anyway, this is a proposed scheme that Fightertown Decals published and thanks to crisisloaner got a hold of the decals for the jet. Simply drop in your FA-18E_BlkII folder and go fly. Can be found under the drop down menu name of "Black Scheme 2"

 A rendition of the new VX-9 scheme for the famous "Vandy 1" scheme that has been shown throughout the ages. Simply drop in your FA-18F_BlkII folder and go fly, and can be found under Vandy 1 in the drop-down menu.

USAF skin pack for the stock Thirdwire A-10A by Jimbib
*** Must have the stock A-10A_78 installed for this to work (included in SF2E, or SF2 Complete package) ***
This is a simple skin pack that I started years ago for the stock A-10 in WoE and never got round to releasing it so I've updated the skins to reflect the mapping for the SF2E A-10A_78. These skins will work on both the stock A-10A and A-10A_78 (earlier A-10A doesn't have the Pave Penny).
USAF skins included are:
- Grey False Canopy
- Peanut
- Flipper
- Cool Snow Hog
- Euro
Extras - I have included alternate Shark and Hog nose arts for the Grey False Canopy skin (default is set to the Snake art)
Installation notes:
1. Unzip the contents to a folder.
2. Open up your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder (e.g. C:\User\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\...).
3. Copy the contents of the unzipped Objects folder into your SF2 mod Objects folder, allowing all files to overwrite if need be.
This was tested on the latest July 2013 patch level on a stock SF2E install, I recommend you backup your stock A-10 files should anything go wrong, I am not responsible for any damage to your install / PC.
You may not upload either the original or modified contents of this skin pack without my permission. If you wish to include these skins in a mod, please contact me here at CombatACE to discuss beforehand.
This mod is freeware and may not in any way, shape or form be used in any payware.

This is one of VFA-2s color bird scheme for the CAG jet. Simply drop in your FA-18F_BlkII folder and go fly. This can be found under "VFA-2 CAG" in the skin selection drop down menu.
