F-4D 1971 from the 48th TFW, RAF Lakenheath By USAFMTL
 
Skins and Decals: Sundowner, Spinners (thanks for the decals and skins fellas)
Technical advisor: Fubar512
Historical Advisor: mppd
Weapons, from the SF2 weps pack via 331killerbee, via wpnssgt.....via alot of people.
 
This started out as a project 3 years ago and finally got around to getting it done. This mod has all 70 aircraft with real tail codes of the Liberty Wing. For the fun factor each squadron has all 70 decals assigned so you don't ever run out. The swapped fighters between squadrons so much they could all of been in each one at one time or another. Who knows.
 
This will create a whole new aircraft depicting the F-4D the Liberty Wing flew from late 1971 to 1977. So if you want to use it in a campaign those are the years you will be able to fly it before you have to use the F-111F. This comes with a custom strike loadout.

SF2 F-104C Vietnam Pack
By Viper63a
 
------------------------------------------------------------------
BOTH SF2E AND DLC28 ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS MOD!
------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This pack WILL NOT replace stock F-104s, but it may conflict with any other F-104 mod you may have installed - SO BACK UP unless you crave drama! SF2 Europe needs to be merged with your Vietnam install and DLc28 is REQUIRED, REALLY. If you don't have these, this mod will not work for you.
 
------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This pack contains a small sub-set of the "SF2 C/N/R/F-104A/B/C/D/F/G/J/S Starfighter Super Pack" (see link below). Separated it for users who did not want to install the full F-104 Super Pack just to get the Vietnam era F-104s. You don't need the full pack to use this Vietnam Pack.
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/15938-sf2-cnrf-104abcdfgjs-starfighter-super-pack/
 
I take NO CREDIT for the work contained in this pack. I made some of them better (All new skins, decals...etc), but I was not the creator. I don't do what I do NOT to take credit, but to give it and appreciate the other contributors who make Combatace a great site for SF2. So here is my humble contribution to the collective. Thank you all for your mod packs!
 
------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This pack includes F-104D (circa 1965) Vietnam era skins, new pilots, hanger, loading, loadout, decals and everything else you need to start flying the F-104s for Vietnam...
 
F-104C_65
 
------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
------------------------------------------------------------
 
As always, I recommend that you back up your mod folder before you install any new mod...just in case.
 
* To install, simply unzip and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite (if needed).
 
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...

F-4E AUP pack
 
Includet:
- F-4E_AUP
- new cockpit
- HAF specific weapons
- update for all greek F-4E mady by me and all greek F-16 from Team Viper , with this updates this aircraft can use the new HAF specific weapons
- optional Cockpit lod with removed air refueling lights
 
Animation / Function
- Canopy
- Hook
- Air Refuel
- Gun Vent ______________ automatic when gun is fired or as soon as the landing gear is deployed
- Brake Chute____________ works with the Air Brake below 150kts
 
Hangar and Loading screens are in 1920 x 1080
 
Installation:
- IF YOU HAVE A F-4E_AUP FOLDER PLEASE RENAME OR REMOVE IT BEFOR YOU INSTALL THIS MOD
- Drop all files into your mod folder the way they are setup in this pack and overwrite if ask to
- If you are unsure about the way how mods are installed, check the knowledge base at CombatAce !
 
NOTE
i added the OPTION folder with the optional cockpit lod and removed air refueling lights because i use this lights in the standart cockpit as indicators for the drop tanks ( full - on , emty - off )
if you like the cockpit more " realistic " just overwrite the cockpit lod with the optional one
 
the HAF specific weapons are made based on the official weapons list from the Greek Air Force , weapons missing are the GBU-50 and AGM-154 they will be released on a later point in time
in the weapons pack you will not find any ECM-pods , the reason for that is simply that there is no evidence that the HAF is using any ECM-pods on the F-4E or F-16 except the build in DIAS system
if one day the HAF is using any type of ECM-pod i will add them to the pack

This is a conversion/repainting/repackaging of Pasko & Column5’s F-106A to the newest SF2 standards. It was tested with SF2NA July2013 release, hard settings.
It contains 8 skins, the weapons and the relative effects:
 
5th FIS late 70ies
27th FIS early 60ies
49th FIS early 80ies
84th FIS early 60ies
87th FIS late 70ies
94th FIS 1969 Korea Deployment
95th FIS early 60ies
318th FIS late 70ies
 
AIM-4F Falcon SAHM
AIM-4G Falcon IRM
AIR-2A Genie AHM
Vulcan M61A1 Gun Pod
360Gal external Fuel Tanks
 
Aerial Nuke Effect
 
The skins are basically Sundowner’s HiRes textures with small improvements. Brand new decals and serial numbers are my own work, except few patch decals, which are still Dave’s ones. Serial numbers correspond to real life, in accordance to Photo material and the Delta Dart Archive:
 
http://www.f-106deltadart.com/units.htm
 
FM is based on eburger68’s file included in OP Tainted Cigar, still heavily reworked and improved by me to suit the latest game engine. Cruise speed, manoeuvrability and energy bleeding seems to me now very much spot on.
The Weapons’s Data files are also revised: don’t pretend to hit anything manoeuvering with the AIM-4G... these are only supposed to hit straight flying Bombers or Black Bandits (landing or low on fuel non-fighting MiGs). The AIM-4F has better chances to hit an enemy fighter. The fuzing distance on both is set to 0.1m... I know the Falcons had no proximity fuse at all, but as the impact sensors were placed on the wings, about 10cm far form the (0,0) axis, it seemed to me a very good compromise.
The AIR-2 rocket is set as Active Radar Homing with very high counter measure and noise rejection. The war head is something bigger than the real 1.5kton. These alterations make the AIR-2 work as it is supposed to. Be sure to put the steering point straight in the middle before firing, as this weapon is supped to be a rocket and won’t turn that much.
One important advice: if you edit this weapon with TW’s Weapons Editor, once you save your changes the program will delete the entire [AerialNukeEffect] section in your data file! So please don’t forget to back up.
Aerial Nuke Effect is Lexx Luthor’s work, as far as I remember...
Keep in mind that the Weapon Station in the Data.ini are marked with Specific Station Codes “AIM4” and “AIR2”, just in case you are trying to use weapons from other Weapon Packs.
The external fuel tanks are set to be jettison type, as people with real life experience on the ‘Six’ says that even though they never were jettisoned in OP because of their good performance, still it was indeed every time possible.

Known Issues:
- The 3D model has not enjoyed any rework, so you will still see the known problems as:
- Shadow issue on the leading edge of both wings (wrong normals)
- Unsmoothed Canopy
- Lack of Bump Map
- Lack of Specular Map
- The Weapon Bay shows the animation only when firing from the rear Falcon Station (i.e. AIM-4G) because of a limitation of the game engine, as you can’t assign the same animation to different Weapon Stations...
 
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and still do!

KC-97L Stratofreighter
 
The KC-97 Stratofreighter was an aerial refueling tanker variant of the C-97 Stratofreighter (which was itself based on the Boeing B-29 Superfortress), greatly modified with all the necessary tanks, plumbing, and "flying boom." The cavernous upper deck was capable of accommodating oversize cargo accessed through a very large right-side door. In addition, transferrable jet fuel was contained in tanks on the lower deck (G-L models). Both decks were heated and pressurized for high altitude operations.
 

Serial numbers, while generic in nature, ARE for the model depicted (KC-97G converted to L model). 18 serial decals are included. Decal randomization is true. All markings are decals.
Damage texture is in DDS.
A new userlist is included for the 2 main users (USAF, and Spain -3 aircraft)
Crew entry door is operated by the Standard Animation Keystroke , Shift/0 (zero). The standard bomb bay keystorke, Cntl/0 (oh) operates the refueling boom.
For skinners, within the Decals folder is a PSD to assist in the creation of other USAF ANG tail badges, as well as some base bmps for other decals to be made from.
A new combo "jet/recip" engine sound (borrowed from the P-2H Neptune) is included, as is the usual "4 engine piston" for those that find the other too loud.

SF2 F-8H Crusader, Philippines Air Force Pak 10/2/2015
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-4/5 Merged (Full 5 Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
**Note: This mod references all stock items, from the aircraft & cockpit lods themselves, to sounds, pilots and weapons. You =MUST= have the stock 3rd Wire F-8H Crusader as part of your merged install, from whichever game it originates from, to make full use of this mod**
 
Some mods of the stock 3W F-8H Crusader recreates the 25 used by the Philippines Air Force from 1978 thru 1988. This is a stand alone, fully "nationalized" version for PAF usage only.
Serial numbers are 100% historicaly accurate. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Markings represent the 7th TFS of the 5th TFW, PAF.
The Standard Animation Keystrokes ™ work the canopy (Shift/0) and Wingfold (Shift/9). The aircraft is no longer carrier certified, but the hook remains.
 
When in game, you'll see
 
F-8H Crusader (PhAF)
 
on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! The "Notes" section may also make for interestering reading, and such.
 
Happy Landings!!

Boeing B-47B
 
The Boeing B-47 Stratojet was a long range, six-engine, turbojet-powered strategic bomber designed to fly at high subsonic speed and at high altitude to avoid enemy interceptor aircraft.
The B-47's primary mission was to drop nuclear bombs on the Soviet Union. With its engines carried in nacelles under the swept wing, the B-47 was a major innovation in post-World War II
combat jet design, and contributed to the development of modern jet airliners.
The B-47 entered service with the United States Air Force's Strategic Air Command (SAC) in 1951.
It never saw combat as a bomber, but was a mainstay of SAC's bomber strength during the late 1950s and early 1960s,
and remained in use as a bomber until 1965. It was also adapted to a number of other missions, including photographic reconnaissance,
electronic intelligence and weather reconnaissance, remaining in service as a reconnaissance aircraft until 1969 and as a testbed until 1977.

*Note: operation era would be towards the end of the Vietnam War*
 
REMINDER: you =MUST= install this update package to the original download. The location URL and Full instructions ™, are below in the "To Install" section. It is also HIGHLY reccomended you read this entire document, after unzipping but BEFORE installing over the original download.
 
This is a semi-complete mod, with almost everything needed to unzip and install. All aircraft inis, lods, new drop tank, the ALQ-76 jammer pod (with corrected start date) etc are included (uses the same drop tank as the KA-6D recently uploaded).
However, the cockpit, is =NOT=!! You'll have to supply your own, as outlined in posts on the CA Message Boards. You must also have 1stGen WoV or WoE in your possession to extract the necessary cockpit parts =FROM= to install to this mod. All I've suppled are the updated inis, and the single RWR bmp (that replaces the dash clock).
 
Skins suppled are:
 
VMCJ-1
VMCJ-2 (early)
VMCJ-2 (late, black tail)
VAQ-33
VAQ-209
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them! The Notes section contains further details, descriptions, elightenments, illuminations, and so forth. Be good to read them, too.
No, seriously ... unzip this archive and =READ= everything first!!! It's exceptionly important you do so....and equally important, to follow the instructions exactly as I've given them to you!
Full credits to the originators, hopefully all are listed in the 'Credits' section.
 
Good Hunting!

C-17 Globemaster III Upgrade
by daddyairplanes
 

This mod upgrades Veltro2k's C-17 Globemaster III to incorporate all tactical USAF and all foreign users. It has skins for all 9 C-17 operators as well as time specific in the USAF and a couple of fictional skins (15 in all). The base skin has been updated by Flogger23 and myself, and ini updated by yours truly.
 
***************************** Installation: ********************************
unzip, copy to mods folder, allow overwrite if needed.
 
*****************************Known Issues********************************
-The cockpit is nonexistant. These are mainly as AI and the mission set for transports is limited so this will probably not be fixed soon
-while cargo statements are included in the data.ini, there is a wall at the back of the cargo bay that prevents the interior from being seen. If this is remodeled, i will include cargo "weapons" and tweek the positions.
-the Qatar VIP skin does not have "Qatar" decal on the bottom. It left a mark on the right side as a tga and was too screwy looking being on the seam of the skin so i left it off.
 
*********************Contibutors and Thanks to: ********************
Veltro2K- created the original model
Flogger23- reworked the skin for better looking panel lines and other features
Lazarus1177- pointing out to use jpeg rather than bmp. Learn something new everyday
daddyairplanes- tga work, ini editting, stubborn determination to see more than just one unit on a skin
airliners.net- loading and hangar screens
Dave, Muesli, Flogger23, Viggen, Lazarus1177, allenjb42- other sets of eyes to catch what i screwed up on
 
I hope you enjoy this mod and airlift the troops right to the enemies doorstep.

Presenting ... The DC-10-30 Airliner! This bird is created from Marcfighters KC-10 model and some ini editing by yours truly to remove the AAR equipment. in this version the aircraft is shown as many airlines flew her in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. This supersedes the previous version.
INCLUDED
DC-10-30 aircraft (template included) with 70s,80s and 90s skins
decals for same
flight folder to modify nations and formation inis
terrain folders to modify limited nations list for all stock terrains
folders to adjust ODS, NF5 and SF2NA Exp Pack
 
CREDITS
Marcfighters............. KC-10 physical model
daddyairplanes........ conversion, new skin and template, decal work and ini edits

THANKS TO
TK ... for the base game
Marcfighters ... for allowing me to run amok with his old baby
Wrench, eburger68, Gepard, and the overall community ... for much advise and technical
support on this project
slartibarfast, viggen, macelena and others who crash tested this thing for me
 
******************************WARNING*******************************************************************************
this bird is rather old, and has its limitations. it is not meant for flying on recon missions,
but rather mainly for eye candy and somethin to possibly intercept or escort. while you CAN
fly it, that does NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD. that said buyer beware all quirks of this bird like the pitch
down on gear and flap retractions and the non moving control surfaces.
 
****************************USE OF THIS MOD*************************************************************************
I will allow fairly free use of this mod in any other mod. What i (at this time) request is that you do not
create a new skin based airline for it. the airlines are on as tga so that many airlines show up at one time.
A seperate say "Pan Am" skin will ruin the effect and there will be 8-9 Pan Am birds on the tarmac. Any airline
you would like to see, pm me and i will either tell you how to make it or time allowing make it and add in. Thank
you.
 
again, thank you for downloading this and i hope you enjoy it

CFM E-3 Sentrys
by daddyairplanes
 
This mod adjusts Veltro2k's E-3D release to add all 3 E-3 versions that used CFM-56 engines. Included are the RAF's D model, French AF's F model and Royal Saudi AF's A model.
 
Installation
Unzip. Install into desired mod molder. Allow merging and overwrites
 
Known Issues
No there is not an ESM kit for the E-3F at this time. If a 3d modeller is able to assist in the future one may be added via fakepilot. However the French birds are the only ones to use that bit of equipment, so it is somewhat low priority.
 
Aircraft Included
Sentry AEW.1 (E-3D), E-3F Sentry and E-3A Sentry RSAF
 
Credits
Veltro2k: original model and original hangar screen for the E-3D
daddyairplanes: ini edit to create E-3A_RSAF and E-3F, new hangars for mentioned aircraft based on original in E-3D, tga and ini edit work. improved D model skin and tga
TK: the original moddable game

PAF C-130B for SF2,tailor made for the Indo/Pak mod.Mod represents the C-130B in Service with the Pakistan Air Force during the time of the 65' and the 71' wars.These aircraft were(are!) assigned to the No.6 Transport Squadron based at Chaklala AB.During the time of the 1965 war,they were modified to drop bombs on enemy targets along with carrying out their normal duties.The modifications included the removal of the cargo ramps for better operations.
A detailed description of their missions may be read here:http://www.defencejournal.com/sept98/nodestination2.htm
 
Includes one aircraft with two textures.Due to the small amount of information available on the topic,I have decided to not include any Serial Numbers.However,the aircraft do sport their nose Codes.The skins include the early Gray/White scheme aswell as the rare SEA camo(present on aircraft delivered from USAF Stocks).Every attempt has been made to bring the skins as close to the real world aircraft as possible.
The Bomber mechanism was directly imported from Paulopanz's excellent An-12 mod found here:http://combatace.com/files/file/15637-an-12-cub-bonus-an-8-camp/
 
To drop bombs,Open the cargo ramp using Ctrl + O and then press the fire button.

UPDATE NOTES
*****************************
 
IMPORTANT.
 
Update by 76.IAP-Blackbird. All credits to him. He did great job on this.
He fixed airbrakes and put engine reverse thrust into specified models with TF33 / JT3D engines.
 
If you already have this pack. You can download just update data.ini of each aircraft. file Updated_Aircraft_Data_only.rar
 
Please copy data.ini file of aircraft model into specific folder in game mod folder.
Do not use Data.ini of on emodel on other. Even if file name is same.
Example.
 
RC-135U_70 got different data.ini file than model _80 or _90.
So you need to copy each aircraft data.ini file from each folder of this update into yours game folders.
Just keep this in mind to avoid mess with fake pilot RC mods.
 
Or you can download whole updated pack and overwrite yuor game files.
 
If you are downloading it for the first time. No need to download update. It has already updated ini files.

 

You need FakePilot mod to run this pack.
 
This is Beta version which means:
 
- I never finished avionics work. I was trying to do something but lack of time...and it will take me months. So ther is no specific avionics for every model. Just one generic. And it is not working. It really needs some avionics work.
 
- Skins could be better. I just simple deleted some lines here and there but I've never put so much attention to weathering etc.
 
- Cokpit is from B-52. Just for test flights. It is included. I don't remember who made this. All credit to him.
 
- All birds are set as Bobmer so they can fly high.
 
- For sure it needs some ini work.
 
- It need still some work. But only if i will find time. Better to upload it now than never. So for now it is realased as in condition.
 
Pack includes
 
RC-135C Big Team.
RC-135D Rivet Brass.
RC-135E Lisa Ann / Rivet Amber.
RC-135M Rivet Card.
RC-135S Rivet Ball. first S version under name Wanda Belle and later Rivet Ball.
RC-135S Cobra Ball early as in 1969
RC-135S Cobra Ball as in early eighties.
RC-135S Cobra Ball current version as rebuild in mid nineties.
RC-135U Combat Sent early version with 'Towel Rails' and first paint scheme
RC-135U Combat Sent still early version but with new paint scheme.
RC-135U COmbat Sent late version as modified in late eighties.
RC-135V Rivet Joint eary version of V model with LTV mission equipment
RC-135V Rivet Joint late rebuild with E-Systems humps.
RC-135W Rivet Joint
RC-135W Rivet Joint as above but with new engines.
 
All serial numbers are historicaly correct. Same as names.
All aircraft were names as code + number "Combat Sent II or Cobra Ball I etc.) I have no information about everything. Info about any of it would be great. Especialy about Rivet Card.
 
Since whole mod is made via fake pilot there are some limitations.
Biggest "no" for me is first S- Cobra Ball where 663 and 664 carried little different set of sensors.
 
Some aircrafts were upgraded later than other in same model group. So service date is generic as first aircraft of block build was issued.
Example: first Cobra Ball was flying already 1969 (663 number) but second (664 number) was delivered in 73 if I remember correctly. Same with other aircrafts, they were never delivered same year.
 
There were few fancy nosearts spotted on RCs but...not this time. Maybe later with some updates
 
Instalation:
 
Copy subfolders to specific folders in your mod directory.
Aircraft,Pilots, Decals.
Thats it.
 
Enjoy.
Report bugs.
Keep an eye on enemy.

Scooters! Vol.2 - Aggressors for TW A-4 and Fractures TA-4 Skyhawks
========================================================
 
*** DLC A-4G Skyhawk required. Tested in full 5-merged installation ***
*** SF2 or SF2V for the A-4E cockpit and A-4F model ***
 
This pack contains 14 Aggressor-Skins for the Scooter as used during it's career as plane for DACT - Dissimilar Air Combat Training. These planes were used to simulate enemy aircraft vs. regular Squadrons.
Although a certain camouflage was applied often to 1 plane only, I decided to do 8 planes per skin for playability reasons. To difference the real planes and the "filler" I added the BuNos for the real planes in the loadout menu. The ones without BuNo are fictional.
 
This pack contains skins depicting the following planes/squadrons:
 
A-4E/F Mongoose without Hump
- A-4E/F of VF-43 Challengers, 1992 in a light gray/gray wraparound camo.
- A-4E/F of VF-126 Bandits, 1992 in white/gray/blue with light blue bottom
- A-4E/F of VF-126 Bandits, 1991 in tan with brown stripes and gray bottom.
- A-4E/F of VF-126 Bandits, 1991 in tan/brown/green with gray bottom.
- A-4E/F of VFC-12 Fighting Omars, 1993 in an overall glossy engine gray camo.
 
A-4E/F Skyhawk with Hump
- A-4E of VF-45 Blackbirds, 1987 in brown with green tiger stripes ("Brown Tiger")
- A-4E of VF-101 Grim Reapers, 1972 in 2 shades of bluegray with light blue bottom.
 
TA-4J Skyhawk
- TA-4F/J of VFC-12 Fighting Omars, 1989 in an overall glossy engine gray camo.
- TA-4F/J of VA-127 Cylons, 1986 in a tan/green wraparound camo.
- TA-4F/J of VA-127 Cylons, 1983 in a light gray/dark gray/blue wraparound camo.
- TA-4F/J of VC-8 Redtails, 2000 in tan/brown.
- TA-4F/J of VC-8 Redtails, 2000 in blue/light blue ("Baby Blue").
- TA-4F/J of VF-45 Blackbirds, 1993 in bluegray/gray wraparound camo.
- TA-4F of H&MS-31 Aggressors, 1989 in 3 different gray wraparound camo.
 
Included is a variation of the ACMI-Pod. For that I combined ravenclaws ACMI-Pod model with the data.ini of 331Killerbees CAP-9 to make it a missiletype-store than uses a build-in rail.
 
New Hangar- and Loadingscreens are also included with a resolution of 1920x1080 as default and 1024x768 as optional.
 
I changed the cockpit by removing the radar screen. Additional changes are the switched positions of the Accelerometer and AoA-Indicator and Levers for Arresting Hook and Landing Gear are operational now.
 
As in dtmdragons original mod, I retained the cannons for playability, although they are not visible in game.
 
I hope you have fun with it!

Installation
============
1. unzip to a temporary folder
2. open "Put_Content_In_Your_Mod folder" and do as you were told, if asked to overwrite, say 'yes' :P
3. enjoy!
 
If the Squadrons are missing in the loadout screen, you should add content of the "squadronlist_ini_addon.txt"-file to the squadronlist.ini ("<mod>\pilotdata"-folder) with XXX changed to the next free numbers.
If the Aggressors-"Nation" is missing, you have to add the content of "nations_ini_addon.txt"-file to the nations.ini ("<mod>\flight"-folder) with XXX changed to the next free number.

SF2 IDFAF C-130E Qarnaf Pak 6/10/2016
 
= For SF2:I (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED ) =
 
**This mod will -NOT- work in 1stGen game installs.**
 
Some small modifications, reskining/decaling of Del's C-130E Hercules transport aircrft, as used by the Israeli Defense Force.
 
This is a nationalized version of the aircrft for IDF-only use, and is designed for use only in SF2:I.
The aircraft carries the markings of No. 131 "Yellow Birds" squadron.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Serial & Modex numbers are 100% historically correct. There are no Hangar or Loading screens, but all sounds and pilot figures are provided.
 
When in-game, you'll see:
 
C-130E Qarnaf
 
displayed on the aircraft selection dropdown.
 
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!

EDIT: new upload, with corrected nose bmp
Apologies for the Error!!

SF2 IDFAF C-47 Skytrain Pak 6/10/2016
 
= For SF2:I (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED ) =
 
**You =MUST= have SF2I Expansion Pack 1 to have access to the stock 3W C-47!!!.**

Some small modifications, reskining/decaling of the stock 3rd Wire C-47 Skytrain/Dakota
transport aircrft, as used by the Israeli Defense Force. Be advised, THIS mod is designed
for use -ONLY- in your SF2:I mod's folder.
 
The package contains 2 skins for No. 103 "Flying Elephants" squadron Skytrains:
 
Brown/Blue camo (mid 1950s thru 1969)
Late 3 Tone Camo (1969-2001)
 
Skins are in original bmp format. The SF2 "date switch" is used, and the game will
automatically switch over to the late 3-tone in 1969. The Brown/Blue will start in 1955,
although research is not conslusive as to exactly when. For years predating that, they
seem be in an OD/Grey type of paint job (not the NM finish the Game Engine ™ uses).
 
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Serial & Modex numbers are 100%
historically correct. Both skins use the same 'pool' of number decals. There are no Hangar
or Loading screens, but all sounds and pilot figures are provided. Also included are the
cockpit (for those that haven't made it flyable yet) updated/revamped data, avionics, and
userlist inis. I've also given you my (patent-pending) "One Click Restore" main ini.
 
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!
