Black Knight and the Wolfhounds: F-15C in the 57th FIS and 32d TFS during the 1980s
this mod represents the F-15C while in service with the 57th FIS at NAS Keflavik and the 32d TFS at Soesterberg AB. it is semi historical, as good images of all the aircraft were harder to come by especially for the later 80s
Installation
get original FastCargo aircraft pack from here
https://combatace.com/files/file/10443-f-15-super-pack-version-24/
or the viper63a revamp here
https://combatace.com/files/file/16186-sf2-f-15-eagle-super-pack-redux-2018/
the skin should work equally well in either. then....
select either just the F-15C and F-15C_85 aircraft (and associated decal folders if you wish, they arent needed for this mod)
unzip, drop "Objects" folder into mod folder. should not be any overwriting necessary
Included
aircraft skin folders and decal folders for F-15C and F-15C_85 aircraft
credits
viper63a: limited use of decals, skins, much inspiration on how to proceed
FastCargo: original model
daddyairplanes: minor skin tweeks, revamp of decal layout, tga work
TK: the whole original game
note: this started as an improvement to my own install on a new system. as i do not usually fly the two seaters, i have no intentions of doing the D models. if interested, i will gladly share the templates so you can create your own.
thank you for choosing this mod, i hope that you enjoy it

UPDATE 24 September 2022
there is a folder with corrected textures if you encounter your F-15C being blank. this issue was not reported with the
F-15C_85.
since i revisited this mod, i also change the filepaths for the decal folders, adjusted the decal inis, and added loading
screens based on the old TW style but specific to the mod.
big thanks to DEVIL11, who brought the texture issue to my attention.

495th FS "Valkyries" (USAFE) Skin for F-35A v1.0.0
Hello,
On 15 September 2020, the USAF announced that the 495th Fighter Squadron would
be reactivated as first F-35A unit of the 48th Fighter Wing "Liberty Wing" at
RAF Lakenheath.
The "Valkyries" received their first four F-35As on 15 December 2021.
This skin must be used with the Strike Fighters 2.
You should add this skin to the "SF2 USAF F-35 redux 1.0.0" by kblomkvist :
https://combatace.com/files/file/16811-sf2-usaf-f-35-redux/
I have created the main decals of this famous fighter squadron of the USAFE
and I have used the DoctorWho F-35A/B skin templates. These decals are the early delivered
F-35As for the "Liberty Wing".
The original mod of the F-35 was made by FastCargo.
In order to install this skin you have to put the Objects folder into your SF2 game
directory.
NOTAM :) I hope to finalize the integration of a new canopy front structure (Fakepilot method).
Best regards,
Coupi.
