PAF F-16C Blk50/52 for SF2
 
This pack represents the F-16s of the PAF which are of the Blk50/52 standard.Some of these aircraft were new built airframes which were bought from the USA.The rest of the PAF's fleet of Vipers was upgraded and overhauled by the TAI(Turkish Air Industries).
 
This mod represents the following airframes:
Ac no.10803
Ac no.83703(Upgraded by TAI)
Ac no.85722
AC no.85728

These textures will work with all of The Viper Team's F-16 models.But,they are specifically meant to be used with their Blk50/52 package.The skin in the folder named 'No.5 Falcons CFT' is meant to be used with the Single seat CFT(Conformal fuel Tanks) model.These skins were newly built and have nothing to do with my old F-16A Skin pack.In other words,If you are using these skins,UNINSTALL MY PREVIOUS PACK!These skins represent the following improvements:
 
-Corrected camo pattern
 
-Panel lines now clearly visible
 
-Real Aircraft serial numbers and Squadron Tails
 
Installation:
After unzipping,place the folders inside the 'skins' folder,into your desired F-16C aircraft folder(The folder present inside your Aircrafts folder).You must know at least know about the SF2 mods folder.

PAF F-16A for SF2
 
This mod represents the F-16A Fighting Falcon in use with the Pakistan Airforce Since 1982.
 
Overview:
Pakistan recieved her first F-16 in 1982.A letter of agreement for up to 28 F-16A's and 12 F-16B's was signed December 1981. The contracts, Peace Gate I and Peace Gate II, were for 6 and 34 Block 15 models respectively which would be powered by the F100-PW-200 engine. The fist Peace Gate I aircraft was accepted at Fort Worth in October 1982. Two F-16A and four F-16B were delivered to Pakistan in 1983, the first F-16 arriving at PAF Base Sargodha (now known as PAF Base Mushaf) on 15 January 1983 flown by Squadron Leader Shahid Javed. The 34 remaining Peace Gate II aircraft were delivered between 1983 and 1987.
Between May 1986 and November 1988,PAF F-16s have shot down at least eight intruders from Afghanistan. The first three of these (one Su-22, one probable Su-22, and one An-26) were shot down by two pilots from No. 9 Squadron. Pilots of No. 14 Squadron destroyed the remaining five intruders (two Su-22s, two MiG-23s, and one Su-25).[31] Most of these kills were by the AIM-9 Sidewinder, but at least one (a Su-22) was destroyed by cannon fire. Flight Lieutenant Khalid Mahmoud is credited with three of these kills.
 
The Mod:
This mod represents Five Skins,Two for the Aircraft credited with the kills on Soviet/Afghan Planes intruding Pakistan's Airspace.All the base textures were made by the viper team and were modified by me using Gimp 2.6.The textures include skins for:
 
No.14 Squadron
No.9 Squadron 'GRIFFINS'
No.38 Tactical Air Wing(Afghan Kill)
N0.38 Tactical Air Unit Modern
No.9 "GRIFFINS' (Soviet/Afghan kill)
 
Installation:
This mod is only compatible with the F-16 model made by The Viper Team,specifically
for their F-16C Block 25/30 pack.After unzipping PAF F-16A 1.0,place the contents of the zip file inside your objects folder located in your mod folder.When asked to overwrite,click yes.Important:You MUST have the F-16C Block25/30 by The Viper Team installed to use these textures.
Note:If you do not know anything about the mod folder,the immediately stop the installation,go to the COmbatACE Forums,Go to the Strike Fighters 2 Knowledge Base and take a look at the thread explaining the Strike Fighters 2 mod folder mechanism.

Egyptian Air Force TW F-16A Skins
 
Requires Strike Fighters 2 Israel!!
 
This is my attempt at the EAF F-16A.
It contains the later well known high-viz grey scheme that gives some of the Egyptian aircraft their unique flavor & the overall standard Egyptian grey scheme.
 
I could only find a handful of reference photos of the early A & B models so feel free to make any suggestions or any changes.
 
It is possible to just drop the skins directly in to your F-16A_Netz folder but I recommend you use them with the Updated F-16A Block 10 1.1 pack or similar TW F-16A packages in the downloads section.
 
 
Installation:
 
Drop the skins folder in your F-16A or what ever you have called your TW F-16.
Place the decals folder in the in your Objects/Decals folder.
 
Add the following to your F-16A USERLIST:
 
[Egypt]
ServiceStartYear=1982
ServiceEndYear=2020
Availability=COMMON
 
 
Hope you enjoy

And thanks to Airfighters.com for references.

For the F/A-8F, this is one of the aircraft shown by VX-9 during the Century of Naval Aviation ceremony.

Thank you for downloading the Mid- and Low-vis generic skin pack and the corrective decal pack for the Thirdwire F-14A and F-14A_77.for the Thirdwire Productions F-14A_77. This pack was made to provide low and medium visibility markings for all squadrons on the stock squadron list.
 
These decals would not be possible without TK and Thirdwire for creating SF2:NA and in some cases providing some of the artwork here than has been modified to suit the demands of this pack.
 
Further recognition goes to SuperScale International, Fightertown, Aeromaster, Eagle Strike, FCM, Afterburner, and Custom Aeronautical Miniatures for producing model decals that made good reference material, and to Torsten Anft, Peter Davies, Lou Drendel, Paul Gilchrist, Dave Brown, and many others for their published works and photographs.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
Requirements: Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic.
 
 
Installation:
 
1: drop the Objects folder into your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder.
 
2: Enjoy how you will.
 
 
Known Issues:
 
1: VF-111 is missing the shark mouth.
A: Without the .out file to determine what the meshname for the nose is, I have decided to exclude this decal for the time being. I will add it once the .out is available.
 
 
2: The squadron markings don't look any different from one skin to the next.
A: In many cases, squadron markings didn't change for years. Some squadrons went from high-vis to early low-vis with drastic changes while others never altered their tail art. Some of these squadrons came along after the high-vis period was over and didn't so much as change Air Wings for an entire decade or more. If you see a repeat in squadron decals, that's because that's just how it was.

Installation:
 
1: drop the Objects folder into your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder. Allow to overwrite as neccessary.
 
2: Enjoy how you will.
 
 
Known Issues:
 
1: VF-1 and VF-111 are still missing decals.
A: I know. VF-1 is missing it's fuselage stripe and VF-111 does not have the shark mouth. The VF-1 stripe runs along the forward fuselage and passes through a modex number that is placed noticably lower that the modex in other squadrons. This would have negated the generic qualities of these skins. The VF-111 shark mouth on the nose would require adding a new decal data bloc and experimenting with placement. I may yet add this decal later should modders be given access to the .out files with future patches.
 
1a: Squadron X is still missing decal Y.
A: Probably because they didn't have it during the time period modeled. VF-11 for example didn't have their squadron number on the ventral fins in the early 80's. They had it on the tail, and it's already present in the existing artwork.
 
 
2: A lot of these look like the decals I had already.
A: Yes. That just means that there wasn't any problem with the original decal.

This is a comprehensive collection of skins for the JASDF F-15J (as featured the SF2 F-15 super pack here). Eight different real-life squadrons are featured, each with authentic squadron patches and serial numbers, bringing this aircraft model up to the same level of fidelity as the American versions. (The existing aggressor skins look cool, certainly, but they are not representative of front-line aircraft.)
 
These skins are also compatible with the modernized F-15J Kai model (F-15J_97), so if you use both, just drag and drop the texture folders into either or both aircraft as you like.
Decals, texture modifications, hangar screen and loading photographs by Nengajou Aki. Packaged and uploaded by WhiteBoySamurai. The author has given permission to include these skins in freeware mods and future F-15 package updates.

SF2 Pakistan Viper Skin Pack
 
 
 
This is for SF2 Full Merge Installed updated to August 2011 patch.
 
The file contain the "skin" files of the following squadrons:
 
F-16A_Blk15_PAK:
 
9th MLU
9th SQ
11th MLU
11th SQ
85723
85728
TEF (Test and Evaluation Flight, same as OT&E in the USA)
 
F-16B_Blk15_PAK:
 
9th MLU
9th SQ
11th MLU
11th SQ
PAK (MLU test aircraft)
 
NOTE:
 
I name my aircraft as stated above. You need to go to the decal.ini and change the name to fit your own aircraft, otherwise the skin decals will not show up.
 
I tried to add the F16-005.bmp but I think the aircraft .LOD does not read it so I deleted it. The F-16A/B_Blk15 is still the old one. The new aircraft when MF decided to upload will read the F16-005, but only in .DDS file format.

If I missed anyone it is not intentional and you will be credited :)

F-16 Netz “Desert Viper”
------------------------
 
Requires: SF2 Israel!!
----------------------
 
 
A fictional 2 tone Desert skin for the Third Wire F-16.
 
I’ve based it on the original Israeli camouflage scheme & have unofficially assigned to
Israel’s 116 (Flying Wing Squadron)
 
However it could make a great mercenary skin or as a fun addition to those “Special Ops” for an air force & squadron of your own.
 
This is my first attempt at skinning the Netz & decided to keep it simple.
When time allows I’ll try something a little more authentic & perhaps a little different next time.
Notably, it may not be as good as those masterpieces that you are used to but
I hope you have fun with it anyway.
 
Enjoy :- )

This skin is designed for The Mirage Factory F-14B Tomcat.
 
The contained paint scheme is representative of the Be-Devilers shortly after they received the F-14A+ Tomcat, roughly around the 1988 timeframe. Looking at pictures of the Be-Devilers Turkeys from 1988-1991, I found the birds to be consistently painted in a lighter grey, which I found was similar to Dave's VF-41 MiG killers, so giving credit where it's due: I used his skin as the starting point. VF-74's Tomcats, during this timeframe, were very lo-viz; A/C #101 would eventually wear a red lightning bolt later on (and the Olympic rings during ODS). I also made the F110 "turkey feathers" a bit shinier, as the majority of the pictures I've seen of VF-74's F-14A+'s between 1988 and 1990 have pretty darn shiny feathers.
 
VF-74 Be-Devilers were one of the later squadrons to receive the Tomcat, beginning transition from the F-4S in 1983. Aboard the USS Saratoga, VF-74 gained notoriety when their aircraft were assigned to force down a hijacked Egypt Air Boeing 737 in 1985 (this incident inspiring a similar scene in the movie Executive Decision). In 1988, VF-74 and VF-103 received the F-14A-Plus Tomcat, and flew these aircraft during Operation Desert Storm. Following the Navy's decision to draw down their Tomcat fleet (going from two squadrons to one per carrier) VF-74 wound up shore-side, directly under the command of COMFITWINGLANT, while their sister squadron (VF-103 Sluggers), whose Tomcats were equipped with TARPS, continued to go on cruise. The Be-Devilers became an aggressor squadron starting in 1993, flying against both Navy and Air Force blue forces during exercises and training. The following year, the Be-Devilers made one last cruise before being disestablished on 30 April, 1994.
 
I was able to find 10 of the aircraft which served with VF-74 in the late 1980s-ODS. (Thanks also to EricJ for assistance here). Aircraft found herein:
 
162925 AA100
162919 AA101
161434 AA102
162923 AA103
162924 AA104
163221 AA105
161435 AA106
161432 AA107
161870 AA110
163408 AA111
 
Install Instructions:
 
Open your Strike Fighters 2 Mod Folder
 
Drag the "Objects" file from VF-74 archive into the base mod folder (e.g. StrikeFighters2 Europe). I have the folder set up so it should go to the right place. If you don't trust that, navigate through Objects->Aircraft->F-14B and drag the VF74 folder into the aircraft folder. Then, go back, get to decals, and drop the VF74 decal file into your F-14B Decal folder.
