Douglas A4D-1 (A-4A) Skyhawk
- For SF2 (Any and All, but Full-4 Merged Prefered*) -
 
*Note: this makes use of the A-4B lods, that are stock in most installs (SF2 & SF2:V).These and the cockpit may not be available in un-mergerd, stand alone SF2:E and most definately not in SF2:I. Hence, the 'Full-4 Merged Prefered' tag.*
 
The decal sets are taken from the various 1stGen mods of the A-4A, and where necessary I've redone the skin bits, using SF2 A-4B skins to bring them to SF2 standards.
This package included 4 skin and decal sets:
 
VA-43 Challangers (Gitmo, 59)
VA-72 Bluehawks (1956)
VA-93 Blue Blazers (1956)
VMA-224 Bengals (MCAS El Toro, 1957)
 
The VA-72 is my original from (whenever); the others were done by some talented folk I've not be able to ID -- as I lost the original readmes (if any). So, the credit is theirs for those skins/decals. I just edited things to fit. Where needed, created new decals.
Decal randomization is set to TRUE, so make sure you're at least at the July 2011 patch level (or whichever one it is...).
 
Data ini edits remove the refueling probe. The inis included herein are the latest, as of the August 2011 patch. All loadouts are stock ala the A-4B. The canopy is activated via manual animation, use Shift/0 to open and close. The landing light has also been added.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... Of course, the usual "Notes" section. These will give you a nice mid-1950s collection of USN Light Strike aircraft for use in various "hot spots" of the time period.
 
Catch the 3 Wire!

NOTE:
with the release of the DLC A-4A, this mod became moot. However, the skins and decals can easily be adapted for use on that DLC.

TA-4J Skyhawk by Fracture
=For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred)
 
** May (ok, probably) Requires SF2:V -hence the Full-4 Merged requirement-, as the A-4E_67 cockpit and avionics are referenced for the Mod. If you don't have these minimum requirements, you shouldn't download this, as you may not be able to use it withOUT heavy editing **
 
This is a overhaul of Fracture's TA-4J Skyhawk trainer/attack aircraft. All the inis have been brought up to the latest (as of July, 2011) standard. Some modifications to the avionics are more for 'playability', as research showed these most likely did not have an RWR. The standard NAV/Attack radar, yes. Loadouts use all common or garden variety stock weapons. It is set to fly all mission profiles as any other standard Scooter. Decal randomizations is implemented, so be sure you're at least at the June, 2011 patch level.
New damage textures (dds) and a new SF2-style hangar screen are included.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highyl detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... Fracture's original readme is also included.
 
Happy Landings!

SF2 Republic F-105G Thunderchief Wild Weasel by ArmorDave
 
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Full-5 Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: the destroyed model referenced herein 'looks' for the stock destroyed F-105D lod. So, at the very least you MUST have either SF2E, or SF2V to gain access to said destroyed model. Hence the Full 4/5 Merged reccomendation*
 
Some major upgrades to ArmorDave F-105G "Wild Weasel" Thunderchief, bring it in line with SF2 at the Full-5 Merged/Latest Patch level (as of July 2012).
 
This mod is desinged to REPLACE any eariler SF2 update/upgrade versions of AD's aircraft that may be availalbe.
 
Skins remain in bmp format (as they're not excpetionally large in size), and Decal Randomization is TRUE. Damage textures are the older tga versions.
The data ini has all new FM parameters, loadouts have been 'adjusted' for Game usage (and may not reflect Real World situations, but =WILL= reflect Game World situations). New engine sound, and some other small tweeks. A new SF2 version of my 'box art' Hangar screen is included.
No weapons are included, other than the drop tanks, as I've referenced all stock 3W items.
See the "Notes" section for more info on the changes.
 
When 'in game', you'll see on the Aircraft Selection Drop-Down Menu
 
F-105G Thunderchief WW (AD)
 
This will differentiate this aircraft from any others you may (or may not) have.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please -READ- them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too for futher explinations, clarifactions, illuminations and so forth. And notes about any SF2V campaign that may use this aircraft; some slight editing of the campaign ini WILL be necessary due to the 'name change'.
 
A full listing of credits, as always, is below the Install Instructions.

SF2 Lockheed F-94B Starfire Pak by ErikGen 10/4/2012
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
**Note: this is a re-upload, as the original was damaged in the recent unpleasentness. you do NOT need to redownload if you have it already!***
 
A brand new aircraft, that will replace the orignal 1stGen SFP1 version you may have.
 
This is the Lockheed F-94B 'Starfire', all-weather interceptor. This is a BRAND NEW MODEL, by ErikGen; part of his exceptional Lockheed Shooting Star series.
 
The aircraft comes with 4 skin/decal sets:
 
69th FIS
319th FIS (both for KAW)
USAFSilver a generic NM skin
449th FIS, as used by the ADC at Ladd Field (AFB), Alaska. *
 
The skins are set to 'turn on' at specific years; in 1948 you'll get the 'generic', 51 the 2 KAW skins, and iirc, the Alaskan ADC 449th.
All skins are in DDS format.
 
The first 2 have all new decal sets; the later 2 reuse those I made for the old Pasko Starfire. All decals are Randomized; all skins are in DDS format. A new SF2-style hangar screen, sounds, pilots and drop tanks (same as the Shooting Stars, btw) are included. Other weapons used can be found in the GunnyPak, or the KAW Misc Items downloads.
The Standard Animation Keystroke ™ is used for the canopy (Shift/0).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
 
Did I happen to mention, this is a BRAND NEW aircraft? Just checking...as there seems to be the occasional doubt.

SF2 Korean War Era AD-4 Skyraider Pak
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: you MUST have SF2V as part of your Full-5 Merged install to gain access to the A-1H.lod this mod refers to.*
All aircraft have brand new skins, built from my Home Grown Template ™.
Unites depicted are:
 
VA-35, USS Leyte 1950
VA-55, USS Valley Forge 1951
VA-75, USS Bon Homme Richard 1950-51
VA-115, USS Philippine Sea 1950-51?
VA-195, USS Princeton ???
VA-702, USS Boxer (became VA-145)
VA-923, USS Oriskany (became VA-125)
VF-194, USS Boxer 1953? (became VA-196)
VMA-121, Land Based, K-6 airfield
 
This is a complete aircraft (well, minus the Stock Lod ™ of course!), with a new radar-equipped cockpit by Dels. Skins are still in bmp format, making it usable in all SF2 merged game installs with access to the A-1H.lod. All markings are decals and are Randomized. BuNums are accurate for the aircraft variant depicted, but not for the actual ones used by the squadrons; consider them 'generic' for that purpose.
 
The 'USMC50s' pilot figure, AN/APS-4 radar pod and engine sounds are included. All weapons are included* (simple edits can make the stock 3W ones usable, if one has Expansion Pak 1).
 
Wingfold is NOT activated, but the canopy is. Use the Usual Suspect (shift/0) to open and close it. All lighting is histerically correct.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
When in-game, you'll see "AD-4 Skyraider (3W)" on the selection drop-down.
 
Happy Hunting!

SF2 Lockheed F-80C/RF-80C/T-33A Shooting Stars Pak by ErikGen (Ver.2)
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
Ammended: 36th FBS skin now has the correct national markings!
 
This package contains 3 completly new aircraft for SF2. As there are some 1stGen versions available, you'll most likely want to delete the old Pasko versions, if you have them, from your SF2 installs.
*Note: as these aircraft were built with the latest 3W exporter, they will most likely =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen Installs*
 
Aircraft included, and skins are:
 
F-80C:
35th FBS, 8th FBG
36th FBS, 8th FBG
80th FBS, 8th FBG - Korea, 1950/51ish
'Generic' USAF (represents 416th FG circa 1948*)
 
RF-80C:
45th TRS, Korea
 
T-33A:
'Generic' USAF
Football City AF (a 'What If' skin for fans of "The Wingman" series*)
 
While designed with the Korean War in mind, they are easily used in any 'early jet' scenario.
All skins are in DDS format. Decal randomization is set to TRUE for all skins. The 8th FBGs 3 squadrons have 95% historicaly accurate serial numbers. The 416th skin has 'semi-hisorical' serials (meaning they ARE for F-80Cs), and all the nose arts from the original release for Pasko's F-80C. The RF-80 and T-33 have 'generic' serials, but reflect actual aircraft, though no squadron affiliation was discoverable.
 
Drop tanks for all are 'built in' to the aircraft lod; weapons data inis included, as are the pilot figures and seat. Bombs and rockets are NOT included; they're in the GunnyPak, and the soon-to-be-released KAW Weapons pak.
 
The canopy for all is controlled via the standard Animations Keystroke ™, Shift/0
 
Happy Hunting!

SF2 Korean War Era F9F-2 Panther Pak by bobrock
 
*Updated 10/6/2012: re-added missing decals folder*
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: as this aircraft was built with the latest TW Exporter, it most likely will NOT work in SF/Wo* 1stGen Game Installs*
 
This is the Grumman F9F-2 Panther, by Bobrock, as seen during the early 1950s; in partucular during the Korean War.
 
Skins/Decal sets are included for the following units:
 
VF-31 "Tomcatters" (USS Leyte, 1950/51)
VF-51 "Screaming Eagles" (USS Valley Forge, 1950*)
VF-52 "Knight Riders" (USs Valley Forge, 1950*)
VF-93 "Blue Blazers" (USS Philippine Sea, 1953)
VF-111 "Sundowners" (USS Philippine Sea, 1950)
VF-112 "Fighting 12" (USS Philippine Sea, 1950)
VF-192 "Golden Dragons" (USS Oriskany, 1/1953)
VF-721 ??? (USS Boxer, 1951)
VMF-311 "Tomcats" (land based, various airfieldz in Korea)
 
The aircraft is fully carrier-capable, with all the SF2NA coding for deck 'parking'.
Skins are in jpg format, so you MUST be at (minimum) Nov 2011, or the Latest July 2012 patch level. All markings are decals and are Randomized. BuNums are accurate for the aircraft variant depicted, but not for the actual ones used by the squadrons; consider them 'generic' for that purpose.
2 Hangar Screens are supplied (the full color verison being used now), along with a Loading Screen. A new engine sound is also included. Weapons use those from the GunnyPak, or from some of the other recently released KAW aircraft.
 
For those that don't have it, my (patentpending) back-dated, modified SCB-125_data.ini that will allow those bird farms to operate in the 1950s (until when/if we get a straight-decked Essex).
 
Standard Animations keystrokes are used for the canopy (Shift/0) and wingfold (shift/9). Be advised, there is a slight positioning issue with bombs/rockets when the wings are folded - I can't fix this with ini edits (must be done in MAX). So, don't fold the wings when the hardpoints are loaded, eh?
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
