SF2 WW2 ETO, "D-Day" Spitfire IX Blank Skin set 1/12/2015
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (w/whichever Expansion Pak gave us the Spitfire IXc) =
Using my Home Grown Templates for the stock 3rd Wire Spirfire 9c, this skin set adds the D-Day Invasion stripes set.
This is a "blank" skin, with no marking other than the Invasion Stripes, and can be used with any of the available decal sets for the stock Mk.IXc AND Mk.IXe. A simple rename of the textures will allow it's usage on either one. See "Notes" for more details.
The stripes represented here are the 'full' set, top/bottom of wings and fully wrapping around the fuselage, as used from June 6, 1944 to approx September 44 (ish). The Sky ID band has been omitted, although photographic evidence exists of it having been used, even with the Invasion stripes. Yellow wing IFF bands remain.
REMINDER-- this is not a 'full' ready-to-use skin pak. The folder is just named "DDAY" for convience. You'll have to create specifically named skin folders (ie: 411-DDay, for example) for proper, historical usage.
There is no decals or texture set inis included -- however, a "base" texture set showing the in-game labeling is included, but NOT usable per se. It's just there to show how to set the Displayed Name labeling.
As the mapping for both the 9c and 9e is identical, as are their respective decal positions, any of the existing Spifire 9 decal sets can be reused with this skin.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them !!!.
Happy Hunting!

SF2 WW2 MTO Spitfire Mk.IX, Polish Fighting Team Skinpak 1/8/2015
-- Something for the Med players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*This mod will NOT work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level. One should also have the SF2I expansion pak, that gave us the Spitfires, as this mod REQUIRES the 3W Spitfire Mk.IX,
This package contains a new skin for MTO (specificly Tunisian) based RAF Spitfire Mk.IXs. It represents
"C" Flight, No. 145 Squadron, aka "Polish Fighting Team"
All marking are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE for the 16 plane-in-squadron and serial number decals. Serial numbers marked with a star (*) are 100% historically matched to their plane-in-squadron number. Those marked with a cross (+, ok the plus sign!), while having served with the PFT, could not be matched to a specific aircraft. Those without any markings, are 'generic'. It should be noted, that the PFT used numbers, instead of letter for their individual IDs.
Please note, this is just the skin/decal set. I've not included any of the bits needed to make the aircraft Player Flyable . There's plenty of other mods that do this.
When in game, on the Loadout Screen, you'll see
Polish Fighting Team (145 Sqdn)
in the upper right skin selection drop down.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
Good Hunting!

SF2 WW2 FAA Seafire Mk.IIIC, 807 NAS, BEIF 10/5/2014
-- Something for the WW2 Fleet Air Arm players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*Note: this is designed for use in a PTO mods folder built from the SF2NA exe, as it has the proper carrier coding. Also, be advised a correct and proper CBI map with the carrier coding is still in the works.*
The package contains a =NEW= skin for Cocas' Seafire Mk.IIIC as issued to Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm squadrons in British East Indies Fleet. If you don't have the aircraft, you can get it at the following URL:
http://combatace.com/files/file/15028-sf2-ww2-faa-seafire-mkiiic-pak-by-cocas-aircraft-factory-co/
Skin included in this package is:
Royal Navy:
No. 807 NAS, BEIF, embarked on HMS HUNTER in 1945
The aircraft carries 'standard' SEAC markings for the period. Code and "plane in group" letters (18) are correct for East Indies Fleet use, but I have not found any references if they carried the "D5" code with HUNTER in the Med. Most likely, they did. In that case, a different skin for MTO usage would be needed, and the national markings decals would need replacing. I have included the PSD I used to make the fuselage codes for any other skinners to use for that purpose, or for other FAA aircraft.
All markings are decals and Decal Randomization is TRUE.

SF2 WW2 Hawker Hurricane Mk.I No.1 Squadron, BoF, Skin Pak 5/14/2014
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*There is a distinct possibility that this mod will work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. However, due to some of the modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment (read: decal randomization), all the features will =NOT= be working as designed.*
A new skin for Raven's Hurrican Mk.1 (2-bladded Watts prop, fabric wings), representing No. 1 Squadron in early to mid-1940, but more for the Battle of France timeframe.
This skin is painted in the "half-and-half' Night/White wing undersides, with French style "rudder flash" RAF color bands, and "silver dope" remaining undersides. The skin maps remain in bmp format.
Also included is a modified textureset.ini for the original No.111 squadron skin, that adds the DefaultStartDate= tag (07/1940), adds decal randomization. The decals ini provided for 111 adds the Level 1 fake "SqTail" pointer to activate the Squadron name display. This is used on BOTH skins.
The new serial number decals ARE historically those for early Mk.1 Hurris, but should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent NO particular aircraft within a specific squadron.
This package ONLY contains the skins/decals (and the 111 Squadron inis). I've not included any of my usual "tweeks" to SF2-ize the aircraft. It's pretty perfect as is! (the only thing I changed was turning the Fuselage OFF in the data ini to eliminate the 'double cockpit' issue).
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
With Thanks To Raven for the bird!

SF2 WW2 & Post-War Spitfire XIV Skin/Ini Pak 3/31/2014
-- Something for the WW2 ETO (and post war) players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*** DLC #29 REQUIRED for this Mod!!!! ***
A reskinning of the stock 3W DLC 29 Spit XIV (14), adds a WW2 skin, and 2 early
post-war RAF skins.
They are:
No 130 "Punjab" Squadron (as seen in the ETO in late 44-thru wars end)
No 60 Squadron (Malaya, 1946)
No 28 Squadron (as seen at Tengah, 1948)
The Squadron Crest for each is used as the 'paint chip' seen on the loading
screen.
Included are modified data and loadout, userlist & main inis. For you viewing
pleasure, a brand NEW SF2-style Hangar screen. The assumption (oh! that word!!)
is being made that you've already made the aircraft player flyable, so no
cockpit bits are included. However, my "One Click Restore Main Ini" (patent
pending) is.
No weapons (bombs and guns) are included, as all stock items are being used,
but a drip tank is.
The canopy has been activated via the Standard Animation Keystroke ,
Shift/0.
All markings are decals (excepting SEAC bands), and decal randomization is TRUE
(but is acting quite "oddly" for some reason).
*Please Note: if you have PauloPanz's EXCELLENT Spit 14 skin pak, you may want
to backup and compare his data ini to mine. You may also want to create a NEW
One Click Restore ini , after it automaticly adds his skins -- See notes
for changes.*
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are
included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.

SF2 WW2 ETO Short Stirling Tweeks Pak 3/26/2014
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
Some tweeks for Veltro2K's recently released Stirling Mk.I. What this pack does, is activate ALL the included Squadron Code decals by creating skin folders for those squadrons.
If you don't have it already, you can get the aircraft at the following link:
http://combatace.com/files/file/14668-short-stirling-mk1/
(in other words, install the aircraft 1st, THEN this Tweeks Pack)
As the decals and the ini in the above release are set up for the as-yet-to-be-released ETO All Inclusive mod by the DAT, we are missing the necessary files to create the selection drop down to choose which squadron gets what.
This mod creates new skin folders, albeit with the original skin maps (more on that later), and activates the squadron code decals for the following RAF Bomber Command units:
No. 7 Squadron
No. 15 Squadron
No. 75 "New Zealand" Squadron (original NCamo skin)
No. 90 Squadron
No. 149 "East India" Squadron
No. 214 "Federated Malay States" Squadron
No. 218 "Gold Coast" Squadron
The Squadron crest for each is used for the 'color patch' as seen on the Loadout Screen.
My (patent pending) "Box Art" Hangar and Loading screens are included, as are new DDS damage textures.
You will be moving (read: copy/paste) the original skin maps to the MAIN aircraft folder (ala Brain 32's trick). As all BC aircraft of the time were painted the same, this creates no issues.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them after unzipping, but BEFORE installing, and FOLLOW them exactly as I've written them!!!
Caveat:
BE ADVISED, THIS MOD IS =NOT= TO BE USED WHEN THE DAT RELEASES THEIR ETO PAK. IT IS DESIGNED FOR USE ONLY BY THOSE END USERS THAT CANNOT ACCESS THEIR DOWNLOADS. IT IS DESIGNED FOR USE IN A STANDARD OR "GARDEN VARIETY" WW2 ETO MODS FOLDER, =NOT= FOR THEIR ALL-INCLUSIVE MOD.
Happy Landings!!

SF2 WW2 CBI Hurricane IIC (Trop) Skin & Tweeks Pak 1/24/2014
-- Something for the WW2 CBI players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*Note: this pak MAY be usable in 1stGen SF/Wo* game installs. However, some
features (decal randomization and others) will =NOT= be functional. Use in
1stGens has not, and cannot be, tested by me.*
**Note x2: this mod is designed for use =ONLY= in a WW2 CBI-Centric mods
folder. Some Theatre specific changes have been effected, and should =ONLY= be
used in the CBI!!!**
This is =NOT= the full aircraft; you'll be adding all this stuff to the
original (ok, Ver.4). It's available at the following URL:
http://combatace.com/files/file/13254-hurricane-mkiic/
Some mods, tweeks, and 2 new skin/decal sets for Raven's Hurricane IIC Trop, as
seen in India and Burma during WW2.
Included are 2 skins for:
No. 135 Squadron, RAF
No. 2 Squadron "Winged Arrows", Royal Indian Air Force (RIAF)
The squadron patch will be seen as the paint chip for each skin on the Loadout
screen.
Neither unit carried Squadron codes, and both make use of a pool of plane-in-
group letters and serial numbers. The serials should be considered 'generic' in
nature, as they represent no particular aircraft with these units, but ARE
correct for the variant depicted.
Skins remain in their bmp format, and as both units were painted alike, resides
in the MAIN aircraft folder. This will NOT interfere with other skins you may
have, residing in their individual folders
Several new inis are included;
Main
Data (with some small tweeks)
Loadout (again, with small tweeks)
A new-ish, SF2 version of the original uploads 44 gal drop tank (with pylon),
creates a new, seperate version of this weapon. It will NOT conflict with any
others, and is designed for use on THIS aircraft. No other weapons or guns are
indluded; you should have them already.
The AvHistory Merlin engine sound is included, as is a new SF2 style hangar
screen.
Canopy Opens/Closes via the Standard Animation Keystroke , Shift/0.
All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE.
The skins have been run through the template (thank you Raven for that!), and
have had a layer of dirt and 'clouds' added for weathering.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are
included. PLEASE read them!!

SF2 WW2 Hurricane IIb RAF, CBI 12/15/2013
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
- For WW2 CBI Usage =ONLY!= -
*Note: There is a distinct possibility that this mod MAY work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. However, many features will not be functional. End Users that choose to use this in SF/Wo* do so on their own.*
While this mod CAN be used on the older (earlier) releases of the Hurricane, it's designed for use on the latest Hurricane IIB Ver 3.0 (hence it's delayed release), available at the following URL:
http://combatace.com/files/file/13630-hurricane-mkiib/
The skin represents No.17 Squadron, when they first arrived in theatre (India) in late 1941/early 42, and as used in Burma. The skin remains in BMP format. All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE.
Included are modified main and data inis that have some very minor changes (component removals, new engine sound, slightly repositioned pilot, and so forth).
An SF2-converted version of the NEW 44 gallon drop tank (from V.3) is included; everything else you should already have. A new hangar screen, somewhat theatre themed, is included.
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please -READ- them. In fact, as we're creating a theatre-specific version, READ the install instructions AFTER unzipping, but BEFORE installing this mod!!! Seriously, DO it!!!
Also, give the "Notes" section a read too for futher explinations, clarifactions, illuminations and so forth.

SF2 WW2 ETO Spitfire 1A, 602 Squadron Skin Pak 10/25/2013
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
A new skin for the TMF/ModMafia Spitfire Mk.1A, representing 602 "City of Glasgow" Squadron around the time of the Battle of Britian (ish).
REMINDER: this is for the TMF/MM Spit 1 ONLY!!!
Like the original release of the TMF/MM Spit 1, it uses a pool of plane-in-group letters and serial numbers, so you MUST have to original release of the TMF/MM Spitfire Mk.1a to apply this pack to. The only thing different is the squadron code decal, LO.
If you don't have this Spitfire, it's available at the following url:
http://combatace.com/files/file/13510-sf2-ww2-spitfire-mk1a-by-mod-mafiatmf/
The skin is in jpg format, Decal Randomization is TRUE. The Squadron Crest is used for the paint chip, as seen on the loading screen
