Early F-14A Tomcat Paint Schemes: The Gulls - Part 1 v1.11
By Caesar
Early F-14A Tomcat Paint Schemes: The Gulls - Part 1 v1.11
This F-14 Tomcat Skin Pack is designed for the TMF F-14 Tomcat Super Pack (Any version, V1.14-1.20, or even the baseline Tomcat Pack from 2010). It represents eight F-14A Tomcat squadrons during the airframe's Vietnam-era introduction until the late 1970's (ca. 1978-1980), as the squadrons began to tone down. It is called "The Gulls" because the F-14's paint schemes early on included an overall light gloss gull gray with white control surfaces and underside, as well as very high visibility squadron markings like the F-4 and F-8 before it. I've always loved the Tomcat in its high-viz glory, and decided to compile a set of skins that represented the F-14 in its early years. The aircraft bureau numbers are included on each aircraft, and I logged them to the best of my ability; some aircraft were uncertain, so I narrowed it down to the block to find unassigned BuNo's. Any uncertain airframes, then, are at least from the proper block, and are few and far between.
These skins are valid until about 1978, the big changes over time weren't so much the colors as much as the bureau numbers of the aircraft. Some aircraft were lost to engine explosions, cold catapult launches, overrunning the deck, etc. during their inaugural cruise. Those others could have been involved in several cruises, but some may have been transferred to other squadrons and replaced with new build aircraft, so all aircraft modeled here are from the initial cruise of the listed squadrons.
This work was based in part on the Mirage Factory originals (listed in the original credits as being the work of Column5), and also some of Spectre8750's skins from the Super Pack as well, so I must thank them for providing the basis for the work. There was still quite a bit that went into making the updates even to squadrons which appear relatively unchanged (esp. VF-1, -2 and -84) to include wholly new decal sets for aircraft numbers and bureau numbers. VF-14, -32 and -41, -114 and -213 on the other hand, were done just about from scratch with the exception of VF-41's tail stripes.
The squadrons represented in Part 1 v1.11 are:
VF-1 Wolf Pack 1974-1978
VF-2 Bounty Hunters 1974-1978
VF-14 Tophatters 1974-1978
VF-32 Swordsmen 1974-1978
VF-41 Black Aces 1976-1978
VF-84 Jolly Rogers 1976-1980
VF-114 Aardvarks 1976-1979
VF-213 Black Lions 1976-1979
=============
To Install:
=============
NOTE:
This does not contain any aircraft! It is a set of skins. You must have the Mirage Factory F-14 Tomcat Super Pack or 2010 Mirage Factory Tomcat installed for this skin set to work!
=============
1. Go to your SF2 Mod Directory
Ex: C:\User\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\
2. Copy the Objects folder included in this archive over your Objects folder
3. Allow the files to overwrite. I have set up the folder structure to match the default structure of the game's mod folder (Objects/Aircraft/F-14A_74/file, and Objects/Decals/F-14A_74/file, respectively)
3a. You may need to add the aircraft's TextureSet to the F-14A_74.ini file. To do so, open each new skin's folder and copy the textureset data from the respective textureset.ini into your F-14A_74.ini file, incrementing based on the last TextureSet number.
NOTE:
This series of skins are similar to some of the baseline F-14A_74 skins in the Super Pack by name and years. Feel free to rename any of the skins to avoid confusion.
4. Go Fly!
V/R,
Caesar
=============
v1.11 Changes:
1. Fixed VF-84's anti-glare paint.
=============
v1.1 Changes:
Fixed VF-1 tail, small gray smudge ended up on the rudders
Changed all BEWARE OF BLAST warning text under BuNo's to red to match real-world text used at the time
ADDED VF-114 and VF-213
Updated TextureSets

By 1977Frenchie
These skins represent the Hi-Viz F-14 squadrons VF-51, VF-111, VF-124, VF-142 and VF-143
I did not included BuNO in this skin pack, except i put the correct one on the VF-124 1976 scheme.
The modex series are real one's for each squadron.
Some minor details might be different then real life F-14 as there was some minor changes from one block to another but i did not dig this (refering to the gun gas vent).
You will get the following skins in this package :
VF-51 :
1985 CAG aircraft
1985 ''Line'' aircrafts
VF-111 :
1980 Same Hi-Viz scheme for every aircraft
VF-124 :
1976 Bicentennial scheme (aircraft 76)
1978 Same Hi-Viz scheme for every aircraft
1987 Special scheme (aircraft 450)
1989 Same Hi-Viz scheme for every aircraft
VF-142 :
1975 Same Hi-Viz scheme for every aircraft
VF-143 :
1978 Same Hi-Viz scheme for every aircraft
Same instructions as usual:
Copy the F-14A_82 aircraft folder content to your game F-14A_82 aircraft folder.
Copy the F-14A_82 decals folder content to your game F-14A decals folder.
Open the Textureset.ini and edit the file by adding the texture.ini lines.

Low Vis and Alternate Skins For SF2:NA F-14A + Also Decals Fixes for Stock Turkeys
By Swordsman422
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thank you for downloading the Mid- and Low-vis generic skin pack and the corrective decal pack for the Thirdwire F-14A and F-14A_77.for the Thirdwire Productions F-14A_77. This pack was made to provide low and medium visibility markings for all squadrons on the stock squadron list.
These decals would not be possible without TK and Thirdwire for creating SF2:NA and in some cases providing some of the artwork here than has been modified to suit the demands of this pack.
Further recognition goes to SuperScale International, Fightertown, Aeromaster, Eagle Strike, FCM, Afterburner, and Custom Aeronautical Miniatures for producing model decals that made good reference material, and to Torsten Anft, Peter Davies, Lou Drendel, Paul Gilchrist, Dave Brown, and many others for their published works and photographs.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Requirements: Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic.
Installation:
1: drop the Objects folder into your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder.
2: Enjoy how you will.
Known Issues:
1: VF-111 is missing the shark mouth.
A: Without the .out file to determine what the meshname for the nose is, I have decided to exclude this decal for the time being. I will add it once the .out is available.
2: The squadron markings don't look any different from one skin to the next.
A: In many cases, squadron markings didn't change for years. Some squadrons went from high-vis to early low-vis with drastic changes while others never altered their tail art. Some of these squadrons came along after the high-vis period was over and didn't so much as change Air Wings for an entire decade or more. If you see a repeat in squadron decals, that's because that's just how it was.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If there are any questions, comments, or complaints, please contact me through my profile Swordsman422 at CombatAce.com

Thank you for downloading the corrective decal pack for the Thirdwire F-14A and F-14A_77. This pack was made to correct inaccurate or missing decals for the US Navy F-14 squadrons included in Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic.

Requirements: Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic.
Installation:
1: drop the Objects folder into your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder. Allow to overwrite as neccessary.
2: Enjoy how you will.
Known Issues:
1: VF-1 and VF-111 are still missing decals.
A: I know. VF-1 is missing it's fuselage stripe and VF-111 does not have the shark mouth. The VF-1 stripe runs along the forward fuselage and passes through a modex number that is placed noticably lower that the modex in other squadrons. This would have negated the generic qualities of these skins. The VF-111 shark mouth on the nose would require adding a new decal data bloc and experimenting with placement. I may yet add this decal later should modders be given access to the .out files with future patches.
1a: Squadron X is still missing decal Y.
A: Probably because they didn't have it during the time period modeled. VF-11 for example didn't have their squadron number on the ventral fins in the early 80's. They had it on the tail, and it's already present in the existing artwork.
2: A lot of these look like the decals I had already.
A: Yes. That just means that there wasn't any problem with the original decal.

RCAF F-14A (TMF F-14A_82) "What If..."
By 1977Frenchie
First, i'm doing skins for my own pleasure, but thank you for downloading this F-14 skins pack for the Mirage Factory F-14A_82.
These skins represent the F-14 squadrons that might have equipped the Canadian Armed Forces if the Canadian Government have accepted to buy the one's supposed to be delivered to Iran. (which event is true).
Copy the F-14A_82 aircraft folder content to your game F-14A_82 aircraft folder.
Copy the F-14A_82 decals folder content to your game F-14A decals folder.
Open the Textureset.ini and edit the file by adding the texture.ini lines.

SF2 F-14 Super Pack VF-41 Black Aces Skin Pack
By Spectre8750
F-14A VF-41 "Black Aces" Skins Mid-Late 70's, 80's and 90's by Spectre[8750]
For use with TMF F-14A_74, F-14A_82 and F-14A_96 skin sets for SF2.
Templates and base skins by Column5 and EricJ.
==============
The F-14A_74\VF41AJ76 skin will be over written with an updated time period
skin. Dave's VF41AJ76 skin is already in the F-14 Super Pack under
F-14A_82\VF41AJ76 and the Texture.ini should have a StartDefaultDate=1982.
however the F-14A_96\VF41AJ76 skin no longer needs to be there since the
skins have been included and replace it with up to date skins.
I've included the F-14A_96\VF14AJ00 "F-14A-005.BMP" file which will over
write the the existing incorrect file missing the new landing gear textures.
==============
To install:
Drop the "Objects" folder into any SF2 install with TMF F-14 Super Pack.:
X:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2???\
Let it overwrite if asked.
Delete the F-14A_96\VF41AJ76 skin no longer needed and would interfere
with the replacement skin dates.
Then go inflict some damage.
Hope you Enjoy

This is a skin for the F-14D_06 from the super pack, but could be used for any of the Ds. Created using stuff from Swordsman442's recent release. See the readme. I forgot to move the navy decal back some and you could probably remove the radome decals if you choose.

TF-30 Turkey Feathers for VF-32 & -41
By Caesar
This is a modified F-14A-005.bmp file for the excellent VF-32 and VF-41 MiG Killers skins for the new TMF F-14A and F-14A(82). The original skins appear to have been based off of the F-14B templates, and have the General Electric F-110 "Turkey Feathers"/engines that don't match up to the TF-30 nozzles. Just drop the new F-14A-005 skin file into the VF32-89 and VF41 skin files to replace the initial F-14A-005.bmp and go flying!

TMF F-14A_82 SF2NA Skin pack
By RustyKurnass
TMF F-14A_82 SF2NA Skin pack
Tested in SF2NA, Full-5 Merged and based on 1977Frenchie and Blackburn32 great skins.
I've started this skin in order to have the correct skin for the VF-14 and VF-32 cruise on USS Independence in 1982-83 ( comprised the crisis in Lebanon) and VF-11 and VF-31 embarked in USS J F Kennedy in 1982 and USS Forrestal in 1986 for The Mirage Factory F-14A_82,to be used in the campaign of SF2NA Expansion Pack and SF2 North Cape
Few decals are modified from the original skins of Blackburn32 and/or 1977Frenchie, but the majority was done by me.I've also added the correct ( more or less) gun gas vents in place of the incorrect NACA ones.
==========
To Install:
As always ,all in the relative folders in your game(s)
As these skins was designed to replace those already done by TMF/1977Frenchie/ Blackburn32, If you will preserve the old ones, please made a back-up of the latters as the folder in this pack share the same folders names and will overwrite all
-----------------------------
Credits:
TMF, Blackburn32 and 1977Frenchie for the F-14A and skins
Me for the decals and the small improvements
If I've forgot someone,please let me know please!
------------
Know issue:
As always I tried to be the more historically precise as possible, but I miss some squadron's Bu.Nos/modexes and some skins have decals for just 10 planes out of the 12 standard for a Navy Squadron...sorry!

TMF F-14A_82 VF-41-84 '86 Cruise Skins

SF2NA TMF F-14A_82 VF-41-84 '86 Cruise Skins
Tested in SF2NA, Full-5 Merged and based on Blackburn32 and 1977Frenchie ODS 30th Anniversary great skins.
During the past Winter-Spring lockdown I've tried to create some skins for the The Mirage Factory Tomcats in order to match the correct markings for the Squadrons included in my modded installation of SF2NA ( Exp Pack, Med Crisis and North Cape) finishing to realize "new" skins for other planes, in one case for the whole Air Wing!
These mini Pack comprised the correct markings for the VF-41 and VF-84 1986 cruise aboard USS Nimitz to be used with the The Mirage Factory F-14A_82,to be used in the SF2NA expansion
Almost all the decals was done by me, with very few modified ones from the starting skins.

------------
Know issue:
I tried to be the more historically precise as possible, but I miss some squadron Bu.Nos/modexes and prefered to not add any fictious solutions.
The VF-84 skipper jet was a Hi-viz bird for which I realized a separate skin that can be selected in the Briefing screen dropdown menù, Anyway,I've included also the Lo-Viz markings for this plane ( as other line bird) 'cause my research showed the same Bu.No. with both markings, probably a pre- and during Cruise livery, I left at the single player the choice!

TMF F-14D_96 Aggressor flanker scheme

I think someone requested an F-14 aggressor/flanker style skin for the Tomcat, so here is my effort! Keep in mind this is the first time I've attempted to skin a bird so it's a not the best possible version of this yet!
P.S Feel free to PM me if you find any flaws which I'm sure there is many!
