Black Skin for U-2A

By Viper63a

Black U-2 Add-on for the Lockheed U-2A Pack Released by Wrench
by Viper63a

This is an add-on skin so you will need the Lockheed U-2A Pack Released by Wrench installed first. You can download that "gem" here...

http://combatace.com/files/file/11575-lockheed-u-2a-for-sf2/

While I was creating my own Hangar and Loading screens, I noticed most of the U2s in the pix were black. So I changed one of the skins to black. I didn't just darken the skin, I recreated each panel to retain the detail and quality of the original. Optional Hangar and Loading screens are included.

Also available in this pack is an optional U2 (modified A12) Pilot in orange flight suit. To use this pilot, you will have to change the [Pilot] section of the "U-2_DATA.INI" file to use the "PilotModelName=U2PilotLate"...

This is a new skin, so there should be no conflicts...but I recommend that you back up your mod folder just in case.

* To install, simply unzip and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder you have installed Wrech's pack to and Overwrite (if needed).

My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...

C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2...

For more info, read the "Original_sf2_u2_pak_readme.txt"...I mean read it, there is some good stuff about flying the U2 in the original readme.

Enjoy!

RoCAF U-2A Skins & Bits

RoCAF was the sole foreign airforce ouside USA that used U-2. Several were downed over China.

Here some history: http://www.taiwanairpower.org/u2/

WHAT'S IN:

5 new RoCAF skins Blue/Black with proper decalset for Pasko/Wrench edition plane: http://combatace.com/files/file/11575-lockheed-u-2a-for-sf2/
[due the secret operations involved there are no many entries and good pictures, so I made my best]

A new tga loadout image

Some data.Ini tweakings:
- Export set on TRUE and edited to let RoCAF proper usage;
- Woking canopy (key=10), autoclosing at take off and opened when plane is parked (Thanks Mue for outstanding lod-viewer!)
- Great Viper63a pilot inside, grab here with Cia Black skin http://combatace.com/files/file/15894-black-skin-for-u-2a/

Old stock skins and old USAF black for SF1 by HI-HO Silver edited (upper canopy frame color) and converted to jpg. Decals randomized and a better danger one included.

INSTALL:

Inside U-2A aircraft folder delete original CiA and USAF skins, and U-2_loadout.bmp.
Install Viper63a pilot and sure his CIA Skin too.
Simply overwrite to mod content on your mod install
That's all.

CREDITS:

- Pasko for the old but gold model;
- Hi-Ho Silver for original SF-1 Usaf Black skin;
- Wrench for SF-2 porting;
- Mue for his umbeliable lod viewer: the tool of the century!
- Viper63a for his pilot (not included) and for make me reinstall this plane on my new PC!
- paulopanz for RoCAF skins, decals, edits and tweakings

NOTE:

I made some years ago these skins that now refreshed and upgraded for clashes over Formosa/Taiwan campaign
To use this plane in game as a target or in a campaign a proper high quote mission type should be needed.
I tried to ask Tk, when he answered us needing our money, to include but he denied because it couldn't be funny.
I don't think so and as we have several strategic recon plane like Yak-25 or SR-71 and RB-57R (never uploaded!) if someone could add this mission type to the game (i can't say how) he would be very welcome.
At the moment some good intercept missions for example for the MiG-19SV should be very useful to use this beauty.

That's all volks!

SF2 Lockheed YF-12A "Starduster" (Veltro2K) Redux...

By Viper63a

SF2 Lockheed YF-12A "Starduster" (Veltro2K) Redux...
by Viper63a

This started out as an add-on pack to the "What If... SF2 Lockheed (Y)F-12A Starduster by Veltro2K" pack released by Wrench, but by the time I got done with it...it became a stand alone pack. Nothing else is required, but if you want to download the inspiration for this pack, you can find it here...

http://combatace.com/topic/76491-what-if-sf2-lockheed-yf-12a-starduster-by-veltro2k/

This pack adds the YF-12A "Starduster" and a new 1950/60s era pilot in grey flight suit. Comes complete with new skins, Hangar, Loading, Loadout and Decal files.

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)...

C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2...

Original "Readmes" are in the Extra folder with some other goodies...

Enjoy!

KC-135 Skin Pack 1: Operation Desert Storm

This skinpack adds in historical aircraft as used in Desert Storm for the A, E and R models KC-135. It is as close as possible with unit markings and features several nose arts.
   Included
Skins and decals for KC-135A/E/R models
Cockpit and ini edits to make player flyable

   Required
you will need the original KC-135 pack available here

   Installation
download and install the above mod per its instructions
unzip this mod, then install new mod folder categories to your mod folder (Aircraft to aircraft etc)
allow overwrites
fire up game, take off and go pass gas
    KNOWN ISSUES
This was originally an AI only aircraft. I added Dels C-130 pit so that it was flyable and I could check my work. That said, it is best to not fly from the cockpit as the Hercules' window frames don't match with the Stratotanker's windows.
   UNIQUE FEATURES
As with most of my large aircraft mods, the skins are tga based. this means if you look for a Baby Shamu skin, you will only see a plain grey skin. When you fire it up in game, you will see a mix of ADC Grey and Baby Shamu.
AT THE START OF EACH SERIAL NUMBER IN THE DROP DOWN IS A LETTER, (a) FOR ADC Grey WITH FULL COLOR AND (s) FOR THE CAMO'D Baby Shamu SCHEME WITH SUBDUED MARKINGS
Credits
BPAO- original model
Dave- head of/released original project
dels- C-130 cockpit, used to make each aircraft player flyable
daddyairplanes- research, 90% tgas, ini work, touch up skin work
yakarov79- skin templates, some tgas (saved me a chunk of time photographing from a book so again thank you!)
Testing Crew

KC-135 Skinpack 3: Late 1980s

USAF KC-135 Skinpack 3: Late 1980s
This skin pack will feature skins for all USAF KC-135 users from the late 1980s. This includes the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves. Many of the skins serials and nose arts are the same as in ODS, which the aircraft would participate in a few years after this period. This also represents the era that the Shamu scheme became more common and that nose art made a comeback on USAF aircraft.
Requirements:
any version of Strike Fighters 2, and the KC-135 mod found here

Installation:
        first, get the Mirage Factory C-135A/B and KC-135A/E/R 1.0 from the above link (if you dont have it already)
       then unzip this to the mod folder, allowing overwrites.

Known Issues:
        this is meant as eye candy. unfortunately, SF2 doesn't support air to air refueling so the best to be done is set up a recon mission and then park it in an orbit.
       Also, Dels C-130 pit does not line up with the model very well. it is included mainly so that it can be player selected (i had to test it somehow).
       Loading more than 8 aircraft on a mission will produce irregularities (like only the front half of the camo showing).
       So far I have not seen more than 8 on a ramp, and it is doubtful you need to load more than that in one area for a mission. Just be warned if you throw all 16 in at once.

       BTW, this thing is big, coming in over 2 1/4 GB size
So, Whats Included?:
   Skins with at least two examples from every USAF unit to fly the KC-135 during the late 80s, with separate skins for Active Duty and
   reserve forces
   Colors represented include ADC gray, and Shamu dark grey over medium grey. Shamu is added as tga for a mix within each skin
   Engines on the A models were adjusted to produce heavy smoke at max thrust. Burning water, just like the real thing.
   Drogue add on to simulate refueling probe equipped aircraft. Added in loadout screen
Credits-
   Bpao- original aircraft and skin
   Dave- original aircraft lead
   Dels- cockpit used to make flyable
   daddyairplanes- research, ini edits, tga work, skin refinement
   yakarov79- drogue basket model, skin templates, general technical assistance, some noseart work
   allenjb42- tech assistance with the basket work
   test crew- yakarov79, allenjb42, Wrench

SF2 C-54 Skymaster, Arctic Skins Pack

By Wrench

SF2 C-54 Skymaster, Arctic Skins Pack 6/7/2019
- For SF2, Full 5 Merged (Reccomended )
This contains 2 new skins for Veltro2k's C-54 Skymaster. The aircraft itself can be found at the following url, for those that don't have it already:
https://combatace.com/files/file/14309-sf2-douglas-c-54-skymaster-by-veltro2k/
These are somewhat generic skins for those USAF units that flew in the high latatudes (Arctic & Antarctic) during the late 1940s through the mid-1950s. Both aircraft carry the nose and tail Military Air Transport Command (MATS) badges, correct for the time.
Both aircraft have the standard arctic red tail and wing easy ID markings.
"Arctic 1" is in all Natural Metal finish. It is badged for MATS Altantic Division
"Arctic 2" is in NMF with the post-1955 white anti-heat treatment on the upper cabin. It is badged for MATS Pacific Division. No specific units are represented.
Both skins use a 'pool' of serial numbers and other markings. Serial numbers are generic in nature, but are for the correct model C-54. Decal randomization is TRUE for both. The SF2 Date switch is =NOT= used on either skin, as this would mess up the standard switching from NMF to NMF/White on the other skins.
When in game, on the Loadout Screen, in the skin selection window, you'll see:
Arctic Red (1948-54)
Arctic Red (1955<)
This way, you should be able to select the proper skin for the time frame to be flown in.
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 F2H-2 Banshee, VMF-224 Skin Pack 10/2/2020
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
"Quarantine Approved - Essential Mods"
This package contains an additional skin for the recently released F2H-2 Banshee by Veltro2K. It can be found at the following url:
https://combatace.com/files/file/17443-sf2-mcdonnell-f2h-2-banshee-kaw-by-veltro2k/
This skin, like the others, is in jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. 24 modex numbers have been supplied. It also uses the same pool of BuNum data plaque decals as the others.
This skin represents the USMC squadron VMF-224 "Bengals" from 1949 thru 1952. Based at MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina, and during their 1952 Med Cruise aboard USS FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT (CVA-42) in 1952.

SF2 Lockheed L-1049G Super Constellation Airliner Skin Pack 1

By Wrench

SF2 Lockheed L-1049G Super Constellation Airliner Skin Pack 1 5/12/2020
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
This package contains 2 new airliner skins for the civilian Super Constellation. You can find the original aircraft package at the following URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/17424-sf2-lockheed-l-1049-super-constellation-pack-by-russouk/
The airliner companies represented here are:
Qantas (15 aircraft)
Lufthansa (8 aircraft)
While many markings are painted on, a large majority are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE. All registration numbers are 100% historically correct. The Qantas skin also has the names assiged to the aircraft by the company (Southern Star, etc), matched to their registration numbers.
This should give some nice eye candy parked around your airfields in the mid 1950s and early 1960s.
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.

E-2C Hawkeye, JASDF Skin Pak (SF2NA)

By Wrench

SF2NA Nor/Grum E-2C Hawkeye, JASDF Skin Pak
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged Reccomended and/or SF2:NA ONLY! =

REMINDER: you MUST have SF2:NA to access the the E-2C. If you do not meet this minimum requirement, do NOT download this mod, as you'll not be able to use it!

A very simple reskin/redecaling of the recently added E-2C Hawkeye as used by the Japanes Air Self-Defense Force.

99.99999% Historically accurate decals replicate the 13 aircraft as used by 601 Hikotai. All markings are decals.

No other inis or other mods are included (read: cockpit, avionics, data, etc); it's just the skin for now. I'm working on tweeking a few items missed or misplaced, and will upload a 'fixit' pak in the near future, with corrected lighting, a 'passable' cockpit', and manually folding wings.

As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!

Happy Landings!

REMINDER: you MUST have SF2:NA to access the the E-2C. If you do not meet this minimum requirement, do NOT download this mod, and you'll not be able to use it

This pak is a compilation of the 5 skins now available, and adds several new and/or tweeked inis, including a cockpit, that make this aircraft Player Usable. Importantly included is my (Patent Pending) "1 Click Restoration Main Ini", for when the aircraft reverts to AI controled after patching or DLC installation.

The skins/decals included are:

601 Hikotai, JASDF
VAW-112 (renamed from it's 'USNGray')
VAW-121
VAW-123
VAW-124

The cockpit supplied is a very slightly modified version of the S-3B Viking. New avionics and data inis are supplied. Mods to the data ini add manually folding wings (use the Usual Suspect manual animation key, Shift/9), and all lighting positions have been corrected, and other running lights added as needed. Wingtip position lights will now 'move' with the wings when folded. Landing lights have NOT been added.
A new turbine engine sound, borrowed from Del's C-130s is used, and supplied as well.
New Hangar & Loading screens are included.

As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!

Happy Landings!

VAW-112 Golden Hawks Skin for the E-2C

By Dave

VAW-112 "Golden Hawks" Hawkeye skin for SF2:North Atlantic
Original skin by 3rd wires DanW

Just add to your C:\Users\XXXXXXXXX\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic folder and go fly.

Extra special thanks to ST0RM for the decal sheet scan. It was blind luck that he had what I needed.

VAW-112 is the unit Tk put into the sim as part of the Nimitz battle group. This now gives it markings that will show by default when you fly the campaign or single mission

AT-6G Mosquito Fictional SEA Skin

Fictional AT-6G Mosquito skin for SF1 & SF2.
This is a What If SEA skin for Wrench's AT-6G Mosquito mod found here: http://combatace.com/files/file/9082-at-6g-texan-mosquito-fac/
It is Wrench's mod to Bunyap's T-6 Texan. You will need this file for the plane, weapons and decal numbers.

Bunyap's T-6 Texan is a bit old and has a few malfunctions such as a shadow line and no texture mapping for the tires, etc. But it looks good in the air.
If you would like my .psd layer mods to Wrench's template, PM me.

Thanks to Bunyap for the plane and Wrench for the Mosquito mod and templates.
