PAF C-130B For SF2(ANY/ALL)
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!

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!

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!

Additionally, 38 ex-USAF/Air National Guard F-100As were delivered later, to bring the total strength to 118 F-100As and four RF-100As.
F-100As were retrofitted with the F-100D vertical tail with its AN/APS-54 tail-warning radar and equipped to launch Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, and called F-100AD Rehab.
Several were lost in intelligence missions over the People's Republic of China.

Export F-100F: France 11, Denmark 10, Turkey 35, Taiwan 14.

*** SF2+SF2I+V required for the KfirC1_77-Cockpit and optional A-4F_74-Cockpit, that is used here together with bits from the A-7E-Cockpit. Tested in full 5-merged installation ***
This pack contains an update to the previously released OA-4M-Pack by Wrench. All skins and decals are newly done for this pack.
Included are the following "new" planes and Skins:
* OA-4M Skyhawk (2-Tone Gray Camo) - Initial Camo with large insignias and white modex.
- H&MS-12, MCAS Iwakuni '81-'83
- H&MS-13, MCAS Yuma, '79-'83
- H&MS-32, MCAS Cherry Point, '79-'83
* OA-4M Skyhawk (GhostGray Camo) - 2nd Camo-Scheme, differently arranged with small insignias and lowvis modex.
- H&MS-11, MCAS El Toro, '88-'90
- H&MS-12, MCAS Iwakuni 1986 (Yosemite Sam on Tail)
- H&MS-12, MCAS Iwakuni 1989 (Yosemite Sam on Tail, Samurai on Aft Fuselage)
- H&MS-13, MCAS Yuma, '83-'88
- H&MS-32, MCAS Cherry Point, '83-'90
* OA-4M Skyhawk (Overall Gray Camo) - There were probably just 2 planes with that camo 154306/DA01 and an unknown 2nd one. Gray overall with black markings.
- MAG-32, MCAS Cherry Point, '89-'90
* OA-4M Skyhawk (Blue/Green Camo) - Experimental Camo on 154306/DA01. Dark green / dark blue with white bottom and black markings.
- H&MS-32, MCAS Cherry Point, 1983
* OA-4M Skyhawk (Green/Gray Camo) - Experimental Camo on 154628/DA04. Green / gray with gray bottom and inverse markings.
- H&MS-32, MCAS Cherry Point, 1985
Planespecific skins for the droptanks are provided (stock A-4 tanks), aswell as a new skin for the stock Mk.20 Rockeye II CBU.
Optional:
As there's no dedicated OA-4M-Cockpit available, the Pack contains 2 options here:
* KfirC1_77 cockpit by default, from dtmdragons A-4M-pack as stand-in. It "feels" better than the big and roomy A-7-Cockpit from the original OA-4M-pack. I also made refinements over
dtmdragons version to bring it more towards a modern Skyhawk-Cockpit. Landing Gear-, Arrestor Hook Lever and Rudder pedals are working now, I rearranged and reskinned the weaponspanel,
to get rid of the hebrew stencils and Kfirs additional weaponsstations and I removed some instruments, that are useless here (Nozzle- and Shockcone Position).
* A-4F_74 cockpit, which is slightly modified by me. It now has a HUD and the Radarscreen is used for the ARBS. Although it was not actually installed in real planes, it is added for playability.
Also the HUD is rather small, but works.
Included are Hangar- and Loadingscreens in 1920x1080 by default and 1024x768 as option. Just open the planes ini-files and you see what you have to change.
There's a readme included. Feel free to read it! :)

SF2 AD-4B Skyraider, KAW Era 4/15/2015
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Preferred) =
*Note: =MUST= have SF2:V as part of your merged install to access the A-1H lod used herein. This, like the other
KAW Skyraiders with the "_3W suffix, is based off the stock A-1H lod.*
The mod represents AD-4B Skyraiders during the Korean War. It should be noted, the -4B was equipped for "special weapons delivery", and was the primary type the USN had for this at the time. Of course, it carries all the conventional munitions as well, so standard mission tasking remains. 2 special loadouts are available through the 3W mission editor (see "Notes" for more details).
The skin herein represents:
VA-195 "Dambusters" aboard USS Princeton (CVA-37) circa 1952
The aircraft is finished is standard 1950s Dark Gloss Navy Blue. The skin is in jpg format. All markings are decals, excepting the green squadron color on the tail fin. Decal randomization is TRUE.
The BuNums, while correct for this model, are not specific to any squadron, and should be considerd 'generic' in nature.
Wingfold and canopy are controled via the Standard Animiation Keystrokes . Shift/9 for the wings, and Shift/0 for the window.
Most weapons are suppllied, including the low-yeild (8 kt) "special". The nuke effects are from the Gunny Pak, and I HOPE I've got all the pieces/parts in place; if not, you'll have to locate them yourselves from the Gunny Pak (or just intall the Effects from there). The other weapons used can be found in the KAW weapons pack.
On the Aircraft selection drop down, you'll see
AD-4B Skyraider (3W)
To differentiate it from the other -4s. The "3W" indicates use of the stock 3W lod.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....In fact, read them before installing, but after unzipping of course! This mostly pertains the effects used for the 'special weapon'.
Good Hunting!
