A-4B Skyhawk, VA-83 Rampagers (1958, ATG-201)
By Wrench
VA-83 A-4B Skyhawk Skin/Decal Pak
= For SF2 (Any and All, Full-4 Merged Prefered) =
*Can be used in any install that has access to the A-4B*
This skin pack reproduces A-4B Skyhawks of VA-83 "Rampagers" circa 1958, as seen aboard USS Essex (CVA-9) as part of ATG-201, during the Beirut Crisis of that timeframe, supporting the US Marines during the intervention.
All new decals, 100% historcally correct for the serial (Bureau) numbers for those -B Scooters used by VA-83 during this time period. I was unable to match Modex to BuNum, but that's a small thing
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
Good Hunting!

A-4B Skyhawk, VMA-331 Bumblebees Skin/Decals Pak
By Wrench
A-4B Skyhawk VMA-331 Bumblebees Skin Pak
-- For SF2, Any and All that have the A-4B Accessable
This skin/decal represents VMA-331 Bumblebees as seen in 1962/63 when based at NS Rossevelt Roads, Puerto Rico and NS Guantanamo Bay (aka Leeward Field), Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis
All new, historically accurate BuNum decals have been created (thank you Skhawaks.org!!). Unfortunately, the listing didn't match Modex to BuNum, so it's not perfectly accurate.
Other mods include a tweeked data and loadout ini. The loadout ini changes the STRIKE bombs to use 1000 pounders. Data ini changes include activating the canopy via a manual animation key (use Shift/0 to open and close), and the addition of the landing light.
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop).
Happy Hunting!

A-4C (65) Skyhawk, VSF-1 "Warhawks"
By Wrench
A-4C (65) Skyhawk, VSF-1 "Warhawks" Skin/Decal Pak
= For SF2 (Full-4 Merged Prefered) and/or SF2:V =
*Can be used in any install that has access to the A-4C_65, which comes from SF2:V. Hence, the 'Full-4 Merged' tag is applicable *
This skin set replicates A-4C Skyhawks as used by Antisubmarine Warfare Fighter Squadron 1 (VSF-1) during the 1965-1971 timeframes. I won't go into defining the "VSF" concept, you can research that on your own. (Google is your friend). Think of the Composite Squadron concept, as used during WW2 on the CVE Escort Carriers. These aircraft gave a modicum of air defense for the CVS-class carriers, while still maintaining their Light Attack Role
All but 3 of the decals are new; those were reused from a 1stGen mod by Paul Nortness (Fist of the Fleet). All BuNums are 100% historically accurate for A-4Cs as used by VSF-1. Unfortunatly, I was unable to match Modex to BuNum, so some inaccuracy in inherent. Research shows (via photo evidence), of some Dets have Modex numbers in the 570 and 580 ranges. I've chosen the slightly non-historical route for those. Please see the "Notes" section below for more information on BuNum assigned to aircraft on USS INDEPENDENCE.
Decal randomization is set to TRUE, so be at least at the June 2011 patch level (or whichever one gave it to us)
A couple of inis are included; the loadout ini has some minor changes for a couple of mission profiles. The data ini has had the landing light added, and (of course!) the canopy activated, via manual animation. Use shift/0 to open and close it.
All 'standard' Skyhawk mission profiles are retained.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
Good Hunting!

A-4C Skyhawk VA-76 "Spirits"
By Wrench
A-4C Skyhawk VA-76 Sprits Skin Pak
-- For SF2, Any and All that have the A-4C Accessable --
This skin/decal represents VA-76 Spirits as seen in 1962/63 when based USS ENTERPRISE (CVAN-65) during her Med Cruise and during the Cuban Missile Crisis quarantine as part of CVG-6. All new decals (plus one "borrowed" stock one and editated to suit) have been created for the various markings and such.
Other mods include tweeked data and loadout inis. The loadout ini changes the STRIKE loadout to use a TER with 2 Mk82s each (I Like a little more striking power); if you don't want to carry 4 Mk 82 bombs, just delete the loadout ini, and it'll revert back to stock. Or, you can re-edit, remove the RackType reference, and replace with 2 1000 pound Mk.83s. Your choice!. Data ini changes include activating the canopy via a manual animation key (use Shift/0 to open and close), and the addition of the landing light.
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop).

A4-AR Fightinghawk Skin 2ª Escuadrilla Aeronaval de Caza y Ataque (Ficcional)
By MSim12
Español:
Esta es una skin para el A4-AR Fightinghawk inspirado en el Super Étendard de la Segunda Escuadrilla Aeronaval de Caza y Ataque, famosa por dirigir los ataques con los misiles AM-39 Exocet logrando hundir con los mismos a dos buques britanicos.
Esta skin solamente está inspirada en la pintura del Super Étendard, pero al tratarse de un avión totalmente distinto la skin busca parecerse a la pintura del Super Étendard pero tratando de mantener la esencia del A-4AR.
Créditos para Nyghtfall por las plantillas que utilicé a la hora de crear la skin, y para The Banidos Team por la aeronave (mod necesario para el funcionamiento de la skin).
Siéntanse libres de modificar la skin con la única condición de que me den el crédito necesario, ya que este trabajo me costo horas de trabajo.
Sin nada mas que agregar, suerte y éxitos.

This skin is only inspired by the painting of the Super Étendard, but since it is a totally different plane, the skin seeks to resemble the painting of the Super Étendard but trying to maintain the essence of the A-4AR.
Credits to Nyghtfall for the templates I used to create the skin, and to The Banidos Team for the aircraft (mod needed for the skin to work).

A4-AR Fightinghawk Skin V Brigada Aérea "El Tordillo" (Ficcional)
By MSim12
Español:
Esta es una skin para el A4-AR Fightinghawk inspirado en el A-4P Skyhawk sin pintar del Grupo V de Caza, mas conocido por su apodo "El Tordillo" debido a su similitud con el caballo. El Tordillo se hizo famoso por deshabilitar el HMS Argonaut y el hundimiento del Sir Tristam en el famoso ataque aéreo de bahía Agradable. El matricula C-222 era bastante divisible debido a su falta de camuflaje y este era a su vez uno de los rasgos mas destacables del mismo
Esta skin solamente está inspirada en la pintura del A-4P matricula C-222, sin embargo puede no ser exacto históricamente en algunos aspectos debido al modelo distinto de la aeronave.
Créditos para Nyghtfall por las plantillas que utilicé a la hora de crear la skin, y para The Banidos Team por la aeronave (mod necesario para el funcionamiento de la skin).
Siéntanse libres de modificar la skin con la única condición de que me den el crédito necesario. Seria un descaro decir que me costo muchas horas de trabajo debida a la sencillez del camuflaje en si, pero si tuvo laburo por mi parte.
Sin nada mas que agregar, suerte y éxitos.
English:
This is a skin for the A4-AR Fightinghawk inspired by the unpainted A-4P Skyhawk of Fighter Group V, better known by its nickname "El Tordillo" due to its similarity with the horse. El Tordillo became famous for disabling the HMS Argonaut and sinking the Sir Tristam in the famous Pleasant Bay air raid. The C-222 license plate was quite divisible due to its lack of camouflage and this was in turn one of its most notable features.
This skin is only inspired by the painting of the A-4P license plate C-222, however it may not be historically accurate in some aspects due to the different model of the aircraft.
Credits to Nyghtfall for the templates I used to create the skin, and to The Banidos Team for the aircraft (mod needed for the skin to work).
Feel free to modify the skin with the only condition that you give me the necessary credit. It would be cheeky to say that it cost me many hours of work due to the simplicity of the camouflage itself, but it did take work on my part.

NOTU A-4E Skyhawk
By ST0RM
My latest Flight Test scheme is an A-4E Skyhawk from the Naval Air Test Center, Ordnance Test Unit, China Lake, circa 1968.
To install, simply drop everything into your MOD folder.
I've included the VHF antenna Russouk2004 made for me, as the TW stock A-4E was missing it. It's already added to the jet via my enclosed DATA.ini file.
Please add the following text to the SquadronList.ini
[squadronXXX]
Name=VX31
DisplayName=VX-31 Red Devils
Nation=USN
I know Test schemes aren't for everyone, so for those that appreciate the old days of Flight Test, this is for you.
Thanks again to Russouk2004 for the antenna, And Wrench for the assist with the aux fuel tank decal tip. And of course TK for the base files.

SF2 A-4 Skyhawk "Southland Scooters" Skin/Decals Pack
By Wrench
SF2 A-4 Skyhawk "Southland Scooters" Skin/Decals Pack 3/2/2018
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
*Can be used in any install that has access to the A-4C_65 & A-4F*
2 new skins for a couple of the stock 3W Skyhawks. These represent "local" A-4 units from
Southern California; my home turf! :) They are either Reserve Squadron (VA-305) or a Service,
Support, Training Unit (VC-7).
Also included for the A-4F, are a modified Data and loadout inis, correcting/adding to the
Mission tasking loadouts. Several new parts are included that correct and add the missing outer
Sidewinder rails. Both aircraft get the Player operated manual canopy, and landing light.
The skins included are for:
A-4C_65:
VA-305 "Lobos" based at NAS (now JFB) Los Alamitos *-see notes-*
A-4F:
VC-7 "Tallyhoers" (or Redtails) based at NAS Miramar
Skins are brand new, from Nyghtfall's templates, and are in jpg format. Most markings are
decals, excepting certain squadron tags on the tail fin & rudder (VC-7 and/or fuselage bands
(VA-305). These had to be painted on due to number-of-decals-per-mesh restrictions. All BuNums
are historiclly correct for aircraft used by both squardrons; unfortunately, they could not all
be matched to their corresponding Modex. On the Loadout screen's individual aircraft dropdown
listing, those marked with a star (*) are matched.
Also added, via Magical Ini Dancing (tm) are missile rails for the OUTBOARD pylons on the A-4F,
as is correct for all 5-hardpointed Skyhawks. These are added via the loadout ini through
various jiggery-pokery and at great expense. They are only used in the "Air-to-Air" tasking (and
Recon), and will/do not effect any Strike, CAS, Auntie-Ship or other attack missions.
These modification can also be added, using the same data ini edits, to all the A-4E and later
models. With some luck, they will =NOT= interfere with any of the Skyhawks released by
Nyghtfall. If in doubt, back up your original data and loadout inis before installing.
The canopy uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0.
When on the Loadout screen, for skin/squadron selection, on the Dropdown menu you'll see
A-4C_65:
VA-305 Lobos (NAS Los Alamitos 70/71)
A-4F:
VC-7 Redtails (NAS Miramar 1973-80)
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read
them .... Also, DO give the Notes section a read as well, for enlightenments, illuminations, and
general ramblings. With MANY thanks to Nyghtfall for his invaluable assistance!!! :)
Happy Landings!

A new skin for the A-4B Skyhawk. The skin included is for:
VA-12 Flying Ubangis ,
as embarked aboard USS Shangri-la (CVA-38), in the North Atlantic & Mediterranean circa 1960/61
Skins remain in their "as issued via 3W" stock bmp format. Most markings are decals, excepting certain squadron color tags on the rudder and fuselage. These had to be painted on, simply because it was much easier. There are 24 Modex numbers and serial numbers (BuNums). BuNums are historiclly correct; unfortunately, they could not be matched to their corresponding Modex.
When on the Loadout screen, for skin/squadron selection, on the Dropdown menu you'll see
VA-12 Flying Ubangis (1960/61)

A new skin for the A-4B Skyhawk. Also included, are a modified Data and loadout inis, correcting/adding to the Mission tasking loadouts, Player operated manual canopy, and the landing light.
The skin included is for:
VA-95, Det.Q
embarked aboard USS BENNINGTON (CVS-20) circa 1964/64, in the Western Pacific

Historically speaking, these A-4 squadrons (and/or detachments) were assigned to the Essex class carriers that had been convered to "CVS" or anti-submarine warfare carriers. The Skyhawks embarked were not only tasked with light strike, but Combat Air Patrols to protect the ship and the ASW assets.
The canopy uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0.

SF2 A-4C(65) VA-113 'Stingers' Camo Skin Pack
By Wrench
SF2 A-4C(65) VA-113 'Stingers' Camo Skin Pack 9/4/2019
-For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Reccomended)
This is a new skin for the A-4C_65 Skyhawk, representing VA-113 "Stingers" during their Oct 1965-June 1966 deployment in South East Asia aboard USS Kitty Hawk. They were painted in an experimental 2-tone green camoflague, as were many other aircraft of CVW-11 at this time.
The skin is in jpg format, in 2048x, from Nyghtfall's templates. 12 95% historically accurate Bunum decals are included. Decal randomization is TRUE. On the number list, those marked with a star (*) represent a combat or operational loss. The single number marked with the cross (+) is "best guess", as the squadron listing did =NOT= have a BuNum for A/C 305. The SF2 Date switch is NOT used; you will have to select this skin for each member of you flight.
When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop down, Skin selection window you'll see:
VA-113 (Camo 1965-66)
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions.
Happy Landings!

SF2 A-4C(65) VA-153 'Blue Tail Flies' 1966
By Nyghtfall
A-4C (65) Skyhawk, VA-153 'Blue Tail Flies' Vietnam 1966 Skinpack by Nyghtfall v1.0
===================================================================================
*** SF2V required for A-4C_65-model, tested in full 5-merged installation ***
The skin represents A-4Cs from VA-153 'Blue Tail Flies' in 1966 aboard the carrier USS Constellation in Vietnam.
BuNo and Modex should be correct for this squadron, with 302 and 307 filled with Numbers that are correct for the squadron, but miss the modex.
According to my sources, modexnumbers 300, 308 and 309 are not used, so in this pack you'll find 301-307 and 311-316.
Some highlights on this skinpack are:
- new Baseskin
- new Decals for nearly everything :)
- optional 'Griffin'-Decal as used on planes aboard USS Coral Sea (just change to commented parts at the end of decals.ini, to have it visible)
- updated data.ini is included, which contains the working canopy (SHIFT+0) and landing light (thanks to Wrench).
Installation
============
1. unzip to a temporary folder
2. copy 'Objects'-folder from the zip to your mods 'Objects'-folder, if asked to overwrite, say 'yes'.
3. enjoy!
Credits

SF2 A-4C(65) VA-172 'Blue Bolts' 1966
By Nyghtfall
A-4C (65) Skyhawk, VA-172 'Blue Bolts' Vietnam 1966 Skinpack by Nyghtfall v1.1
===============================================================================
*** SF2V required for A-4C_65-model, tested in full 5-merged installation ***
The skin represents A-4Cs from VA-172 'Blue Bolts' in 1966 to 1967 aboard the carrier USS Franklin D. Roosevelt in Vietnam.
BuNo and Modex should be correct for this squadron, but I couln't find a complete listing from one source, so I had to combine all available sources.
Some highlights on this skinpack are:
- new Baseskin with highter resolution (2048x2048)
- new Decals for nearly everything :)
- special Decals for the CAG bird (Number x00)
- updated data.ini is included, which contains the working canopy (SHIFT+0) and landing light (thanks to Wrench).
Installation
============
1. unzip to a temporary folder
2. copy 'Objects'-folder from the zip to your mods 'Objects'-folder, if asked to overwrite, say 'yes'.
3. enjoy!
