A-7 Corsair II. SLUF over Vietnam.
By yakarov79
Simple skin pack with a few sets of skins for Navy versions of A-7 Corsair II - A/B/C/E that flew during the air war over Vietnam between 1967-1974.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.)
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
To run this mod you need also access to TW lod files from SF2 Series.
userlist.ini included covering correct years of use of specific models.
Skins cover the years 1967-1974 CVW deployments during Vietnam War. All squadrons year by year.
The pack contains skins and decals.
Skins sets are made in pairs - two squadrons for CVW for a specific year.
I could not find all the correct BuNo / Modex but I am considering this as ongoing work in progress, so one day if I will learn something new there will be an update. Also, not all squadrons have CAG markings, sometimes i could not find info on markings...so I left it, again there might be an update if new info appears.
I believe that the pack after unp[backing is around 2.6GB. So make some space for SLUF.
All skins, new bump maps, specular, and decals are made by me.
report bugs.
enjoy.
Jarek Hereda.
P.S.
This is huge, a lot of copy-paste for me, all decals.ini, textur.ini, etc...So if you will find that one decal is not showing up or something...just check first - maybe there is some bug in *.ini file. Fix, post solution, etc... So others can benefit from your fix.
I put a lot of effort and time, and checked everything twice..still gremlins can appear.
PART TWO - OPTIONAL MOD FILES.
This is only for experienced users!
who know how to improve the game for themselves, are not afraid of experimenting, and know how to go back to stock ini files if something is not okay.
This is based on my mod that unifies USN equipment (300 gal tanks, MERs, TERs etc.)
optional mod files include reworked data files - correcting usage of weapons, fuel tanks, etc. adding some specific tanks, and stations for specific launchers adding fake pilot mods etc,
additional fake pilot mods (legendary fake pilot mod required!)
additional loadout ini files - for a better game experience
additional weapons by Ravenclaw to cover weapons needed in new loadout ini files.
D704 refueling pod/fuel tank by Nyghtfall from his great A-4 pack..
I highly recommend picking up piece by piece from optional mods, testing, and deciding whether to use them or not.
Use the optional mod as a separate mod or as a reference to make your own.

VA-46 Clansmen, 1989-1991
By EricJ
For the TMF A-7E (Late) Corsair II
This skin represents VA-46 before Desert Storm (1989-1990) timeframe. Given that most of the Operation Desert Storm A-7s are covered via the ODS mod I decided to try my hand at least one A-7 skin. All the folders are created so all you have to do is drop in your mod folder and go fly. Under the dropdown menu, it is under VA-46 Clansmen.
Decals were modified from the original VA-66LV files and scanned decals I believe from Dave. For this A-7:

A-7 Corsair II 1983-1991 skin pack.
By yakarov79
SLUFs of grey.
Simple skin pack with a few sets of skins for US Navy A-7E Corsair II. This mod covers late years of use.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.)
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
To run this mod you need also access to TW lod files from SF2 Series.
I highly recommend creating a new aircraft - for example A-7E_83. I have added a data file that will add a new pilot and new SJU seat along with HUD inside the cockpit. Just an eye candy thing. At the end of 1982, Navy SLUFs started to receive new seats and some minor upgrades in avionics.
A-7E_83_Data will add a new pilot, new seat, make openable canopy and foldable wings. Adds landing light and removes Fuel tanks model objects from stations 2 and 7. As A-7 can not carry fuel tanks there. (you can use this remove_mod from a file on older Corairs also)
The rest of the data file is basically stock one. So still no proper loadouts, rails for Shrikes / HARMs etc. If there will be demand I can upload new highly modified ini files at some point in the future/near future.
Skins cover the years 1983-1991 for the Atlantic and Pacific Fleet. Decal set for 'Desert Shiled' VA-46 and VA-72 is slightly different than in the ODS-30AE pack. (it is downgraded so I recommend not messing with this - mixing with original ODS)
Pack contains skins and decals. I have included also decals from the previous pack for hi-viz SLUF. So perhaps you can skip this folder but to be sure you can simply overwrite it. I believe there are two more serial numbers for VA-81 /1986.
Skins sets are made in pairs - two squadrons for CVW for a specific year.
Skin-set for 1986 VA-82 has one small 'bug' In 1986 they were painting bird flying through A in AJ tail code. But I could not find a clear photo of it. So I decided to go without a bird. This is subject to possible updates of the pack in the future.
I could not find all proper BuNo / Modex but I am considering this as ongoing work in progress, so one day if I will learn something new there will be an update. Also, not all squadrons have CAG markings, sometimes i could not find info on markings...so I left it, again there might be an update if new info appears.
I believe that pack after unp[backing is around 1GB. So make some space for SLUF.
All skins, new bump maps, specular and decals are made by me.
report bugs.
enjoy.
Jarek Hereda.
P.S.
This is huge, a lot of copy-paste for me, all decals.ini, textur.ini, etc...So if you will find that one decal is not showing up or something...just check first - maybe there is some bug in *.ini file. No need to panic! Fix, post solution, etc... So others can benefit from your fix.
I put a lot of effort and time, checked everything twice..still gremlins can appear.
QUICK FIX!
I just uploaded an additional seat called - seat_SJU-8. This is the proper seat that is required by optional data.ini.

A-7 Corsair II 1970-1982 skin pack.
By yakarov79
Simple skin pack with a few sets of skins for Navy versions of A-7 Corsair II - A/B/C/E and E_74.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.)
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
To run this mod you need also access to TW lod files from SF2 Series.
*.ini files for loadout, avionics, cockpit, or aircraft data - not included.
Skins cover the years 1970-1982 for the Atlantic and Pacific Fleet. The pack did not cover Vietnam War CVW deployments.
Pack contains skins and decals. I have included also decals from the upcoming pack for low-viz SLUF. This way it is simpler for me, all decals are in one place, save time, and will not harm anything.
Skins sets are made in pairs - two squadrons for CVW for a specific year.
I could not find all proper BuNo / Modex but I am considering this as ongoing work in progress, so one day if I will learn something new there will be an update. Also, not all squadrons have CAG markings, sometimes i could not find info on markings...so I left it, again there might be an update if new info appears.
I believe that pack after unp[backing is around 2GB. So make some space for SLUF.
All skins, new bump maps, specular and decals are made by me.
Decals are made by me...but I think I have used one or two decals from MAKOTO pack (VA-192?)
report bugs.
enjoy.

SF2NA A-7s Skin Pack
By RustyKurnass
SF2NA A-7s Skin Pack
= Tested in SF2NA, Full-5 Merged
This project started as a personal customization to improve historically the skins for the VA-72 A-7B_71 for the squadron cruise aboard JFK in 1975 and for VA-81 and -83 aboard Saratoga during the clashes with Libya of 1986.
So,I realize them basically to be used in the Northern Sabre 75 and El Dorado Canyon Campaignes present in the SF2NA Expansion Pack and SF2 Med Crisis.
The starting skins with which I played around are 3W for the A-7B_71 and the Wrench'TPS one for the A-7E_74,so much of the credit will be deserved by them; I added to the Echo skins some missing panel lines and the latches and air vents of the avionic bays plus some extra weathering and corrosion control.
The Bravo received the same treatement of the Echo plus the squadron specific blue on the wings and fin tips and the white of the nose.
All the decals was done by me.
All the Bu.Nos are historycally correct for all three Squadrons; this was one of the hardest part and I was able to barely sort out the required 12 to complete the standard number of planes deployed by a Navy squadron.
==========
To Install:
As always raccomended,all in the relative folders in your game(s)
-----------------------------
Credits:
3W for the A-7B_71 and A-7E_74 Corsairs and the -7B_71 skin
Wrench for the already great A-7E_74 TPS skins,a handy starting point
Makoto for the idea and permission of the VA-72 fuselage stripe decals
Me for the decals and the small improvements
------------
Know issue:
The first issue is common to all three skins; despite I'd the pilots name for the Squadrons cruises,I wasn't able to pair name and assigned planes,so the nameplates are present but empty.
Next nthe ones for the VA-72: the most important, I forgot one chess line on the rudder;I was misguided by the initial reference found and when I noticed the error,due to unwillingness to redo the work again from such an advanced state,I choose to left all as it was, sorry,
The fuselage stripe;actually the stripe will stop at the lower edge of the avionic bays access doors, but I was unable to obtain this and as result the decals continue 'till the most forward of the MLG doors,sorry but my skill are very limited...
If someone will address these issues,feel free to try ( and share) the result!
--------------------------------------------
Legal note:
This package may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware addition.

A-7E (74) VA-72 Bluehawks skin pak -SF2/SF2NA
By Wrench
A-7E Corsair II (74) VA-72 "Bluehawks" Skin Pak
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged Required; and/or SF2:NA -ONLY!!- =
Again, as stated above this is for the stock 3rdWire A-7E_74 ONLY!! If you do not possess SF2NA (or other games that may have this aircraft accessable -cause I don't remember if it was or wasn't before!!!), DO NOT download this mod, as you will =NOT= be able to use it.
This is the companion skin for the recently released A-7E_74 VA-46 "Clansmen" skin. It represents the sister squadron, VA-72 "Bluehawks" both of whom were based aboard USS John F. Kennedy during Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm.
These were to last 2 operational Corsair II squadrons in USN service, as the type was retired upon the JFK returning to port.
It is HIGHTY suggested you have the SF2/SF2NA Skin pak available at:
http://combatace.com/files/file/12822-a-7e74-lo-viz-skinini-pak-for-sf2sf2na/
as there are some decals called that reference some in that pack. Several decals have been repurposed and repainted from an original FOTF skin mod for many year ago. Many new decals have also been created (note: the first 12 BuNums have been remade from the originals, and may actually represent aircraft that served with this squadron.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them before installing!
Happy Landings!

A-7E(74) Lo-Viz Skin/Ini Pak for SF2/SF2NA
By Wrench
A-7E Corsair II (74) Skin Pak
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged Required; and/or SF2:NA -ONLY!!- =
Again, as stated above this is for the stock 3rdWire A-7E_74 ONLY!! If you do not possess SF2NA (or other games that may have this aircraft accessable), DO NOT download this mod, as you will =NOT= be able to use it.
However, as the standard or garden variety A-7E shares the same mapping (as do all the 3W Corsairs), it is VERY possible that these skins would be usable on them, with a simple rename to fit. BUT...as the stock A-7E has an end-of-service-date of 1976, that may be a moot point.
Read on...
This pack contains 2 new "TPS" lo-viz skin and decals sets. These skins were created from a new Home Grown Template and are in JPG format. The templates will also be available for use, once I upload them.
Also included are slightly modified Data and Loadout inis. The wingfold (which was NOT active at ALL before) and canopy are operated via manual animation keys; the Usual Suspects - Shift/0 for canopy and Shift/9 for wingfold.
The loadout ini includes some changes to standard dumb-bomb loads, giving you a bit more striking power.
As I like to have Altantic & Pacific Fleet squadrons represented by at least one skin each, the skins in this pak are:
VA-25 "Fist of the Fleet" (circa late 80s/early 90s)
VA-46 "Clansmen" (in the Corsair's final deployment during Desert Shield/Desert Storm)
These skins BOTH have the "StartDefaultDate=" set for 1982, an approximate date based on my research. This will OVERRIDE any other stock skins, so be aware of this fact. This was done for historicality, and to encourage other skinner/decalers to step up and fill in some of the gaps. Get to it people!
All markings on both are decals, making it MUCH easier for other squadron to be created in the Lo-Viz scheme. Almost all decals are new; some are repurposed from other mods. The 1st 10 Bunms for the Clansmen are newbuilds, based upon BuNums from a FOTF original skin.
I think the Corsair II is a very overlooked aircraft, and it's time to give it a little love.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them before installing! Please browse the Notes section for other illuminations.
Good Hunting!

However, the Royal Thai Navy continues to maintain the operability of the aircraft with the necessary maintenance
and by starting them up and taxiing them on the airport's tarmac
Here a new skin with its historical decalset for our A-7 collection.
