SF2 P/F-61B Black Widow, 319th F(AW)S Skins Pack Post-WW2

SF2 P/F-61B Black Widow, 319th F(AW)S Skins Pack 7/2/2019
-For SF2, (Full 5 Merged Reccomended)-
This is a new skin & decal set for Veltro2K's P-61 Black Widow Night/All Weather interceptor.
This skin represents the 318th Fighter (All Weather) Squadron from 1946-1948. They were (originally) based at Mitchell Field (AFB) Long Island, NY, as part of the newly formed Air Defence Command. They and several other night/all weather and day fighter squadrons were responsible for the defence of the northeastern United States. In 1948, they moved to McChord AFB, Washington, transistioned to F-82 Twin Mustangs, and took on Northwest Air Defense duties.
The skin is in jpg format. All markings are decals. 26 new P-61B serial and Buzz numbers were created for this mod. The serials ARE for late production block 61Bs, but should be considered generic in nature as they represent no particular aircraft from any specific unit. Decal randomization is TRUE. Included is a hangar screen for this skin, too! The SF2 'date switch' is used to turn on this skin in 1946.
Also included is a new data and avionics inis. A new more compliant FM has been built, and many engine parameters have been adjusted (NOW! With WEP!!). The avionics ini, given game limitations, should be more in line with the actual workings of the SCR-720 air intercept radar. A backup copy of the data ini is included, for safety's sake. (always back up!!). See "Notes" below for a complete listing, and explainitions.
You must have the original P-61B from either you WW2 installs or a new download from the following URL to apply this skin set to:
https://combatace.com/files/file/14739-northrop-p-61-black-widow-pack/
Remember, this is a POST-war skin. The data ini has operational dates adjusted (corrected) accordingly.
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. Might want to give the "Notes & Other Nonsense" section a once over, as well! :)
Good Hunting!

To be used on SF2 Douglas C-54 Skymaster by Veltro2K available here : https://combatace.com/files/file/14309-sf2-douglas-c-54-skymaster-by-veltro2k/
These skins represent the schemes used by the RCAF on their C-54 North star with the No. 412 Transport Squadron.
The serial numbers in this skin pack along with planes numbers are real one's.
Some details will be different then real life RCAF C-54 as they are model related (RCAF Aircraft were using Merlin engines).
You will get the following skins in this package :
48-58 Era
58-65 Era
58-65 Era (United Nations)
66-68 Era

Installation:
Copy the FOLDERS of the current pack objects/aircraft folder in your game C-54 aircraft folder.
Copy the FOLDERS of the current pack objects/decals folder in your game C-54 decals folder.
Open the Textureset.ini and edit the file by adding the texture.ini lines.
Open the Userlist.ini and edit the lines for Canada service years.

All decals are made by me. I completely redraw the panel lines and rivets.
Serials are real one's and squadron specific.

Credits:
Thanks to Thirdwire for creating the Strike Fighters series.
Thanks to Veltro2K for the C-54 model.

SF2 WW2 RAF SEAC Douglas Dakota Skin Pak

By Wrench

SF2 WW2 RAF SEAC Douglas Dakota Skin Pak 3/20/2014

-- Something for the WW2 CBI players --

= For SF2, Full-5 Merged, + Expansion Pak 1 (REQUIRED!) =

*You must have SF2:I Exp Pak 1, as this mod REQUIRES the stock 3W C-47*

This pak contains Skin/Decal mods for the Stock 3rd Wire C-47A, representing RAF Dakota's in WW2, in the India/Burma (SEAC) theatre. None of my research has turned up an information if they were camoflagued, so the aircraft is in standard OD/Grey.

Supplied are 26 plane-in group letters and RAF serial number decals. The serials, while correct for the Dakota, represent no particular unit and should be considered 'generic' in nature. There are NO squadron codes.
Decal randomization is TRUE
Also supplied is an updated/edited/adjusted C-47A User list, with many corrected dates.

*NOTE: this skin pak is for RAF Daks in SEAC =ONLY=!!! Read: your CBI mods folder.*

This little mod comes about as I'm sick and tired of seeing Dakota's parked on my terrains, with incorrect WW2 theatre markings (while not perfect even WITH this, they're a LOT closer!)

As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!

Happy Landings!

SF2 WW2 RAF Douglas Dakota Skin Pak

By Wrench

SF2 WW2 RAF Douglas Dakota Skin Pak 3/1/2014

-- Something for the WW2 ETO/MTO players --

= For SF2, Full-5 Merged, + Expansion Pak 1 (REQUIRED!) =

*You must have SF2:I Exp Pak 1, as this mod REQUIRES the stock 3W C-47*

This pak contains Skin/Decal mods for the Stock 3rd Wire C-47A, representing
RAF Dakota's in WW2. This pak contains 2 skins:

RAF (Euro) -standard OD/Grey
RAF_D (Desert) - standard Day Desert

Supplied are 26 plane-in group letters and RAF serial number decals. The
serials, while correct for the Dakota, represent no particular unit and should
be considered 'generic' in nature. Both skins use a 'pool' of the letters and
serials. There are NO squadron codes.
Decal randomization is TRUE
Also supplied is an updated/edited/adjusted C-47A User list, with many
corrected dates.

End users are advised to choose which skin for what WW2 mods folder
they'll be using (Euro for the ETO, and Desert for the MTO, obviously!). Simply
rename the textureset ini for the skins NOT being used, and the Game Engine
will ignore it.

This little mod comes about as I'm sick and tired of seeing Dakota's parked on
my terrains, with incorrect WW2 markings (while not perfect even WITH this,
they're a LOT closer!)

included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!

SF2 WW2 ETO RAF Catalina (PBY-5a) Skin/Ini Pak

By Wrench

SF2 WW2 ETO RAF Catalina (PBY-5a) Skin/Ini Pak 11/11/2013

-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --

= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =

A new skin, and some ini updates for Veltro's Catalina. This skin is for No.210 Squadron, RAF Costal Command as seen approx late 1941. This is an ETO =ONLY= skin, so install the aircraft accordingly!!!

This skin/ini package is to be applied to the PBY-5A Reissue Pak, available at the following url:

http://combatace.com/files/file/14092-sf2-ww2-pby-5a-catalina-by-veltro2k/

You are =exceedingly= advised to back up some of the inis, and these are listed in the "To Install" section. Also, see the "Notes" section for historical comments.

All new 100% historically accurate serials numbers are included. It should ben noted, that although the serials ARE aircraft used by 210 Squadron, there was no way to match plane-in-group letter to serial. Also, as stated in the "Notes" section, these are for Catalina II/IIa/III Flying Boats.
Decal Randomizations is TRUE. ALL markings are decals, making it extra easy for other skinners to create other squadrons.
The skin itself is in jpg format. An RAF-only Catalina hangar screen is also included (making use of the skin-specific type allowed in SF2).

To fly the aircraft, select the PBY-5A from the drop-down, and choose "Royal Air Force" for the service.

Included are updated data, loadout and userlist inis. Also included are 2 version of the Mk.XII British torpedo - one a standard torp, the other an experimental "cruise missile" type, ala SF2NA (hence, the Full-5 merged requirement).

As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them before installing!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for the change list, and other stuff that might be interestering in general.

Good Hunting!!

PAF Dakotas

By Lazarus1177

PAF/RPAF C-47A Dakota For SF2 Full-5 merged(or at minimum SF2:I with Expansion pack1)

Overview:
These Dakotas were gained by the air arms of India and Pakistan after the partition of the Indo-Pak Subcontinent in 1947.Their primary roles were transport and sometimes resupply to ground troops.They were in service from 1947 to at least 1970.There has been speculation that some aircraft were modified as recon planes during the 1971 war.However,due to an almost complete lack of photos and technical reference,the history of these airframes cannot be traced.

The mod:
Presented in this mod are two skins to represent two different airframes of the Pakistan Air Force.Again,due to very little reference available for these aircraft,the skins are provided without tail numbers.
Two skins are provided:

-PAF Grey
-PAF Green

The Grey scheme is meant to represent the aircraft which transported Mohammed Ali Jinnah(the founder of Pakistan and the man behind the partition of the Indo-Pak Subcontinent).This aircraft was at that time in service with the Royal Pakistan Air Force for which accurate decals are provided.The Green scheme represents a few airframes in service with the Air Force in East Pakistan(now Bangladesh).These aircrafts were thought to be used as Recon platforms.

Installation:
After unzipping PAF Dakotas V1.0,paste the aircraft folder inside the objects folder inside your SF2 mod folder.Do the same for decals.When asked to overwrite,click yes.Note:If you do not know anything about the mod folder,the immediately stop the installation,go to the CombatACE Forums,Go to the Strike Fighters 2 Knowledge Base and take a look at the thread explaining the Strike Fighters 2 mod folder mechanism.

You have my full permission to modify and use these textures as well as the decals for your own mod(s) as long as I(Lazarus1177) am acknowledged as the original Author.

IMPORTANT:
I HEREBY CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF THE CHANGES THIS MOD MAY RENDER TO YOUR GAME(Even though it doesn't).IF THIS MOD IS INSTALLED,THEN IT IS DONE ONLY BY THE WILL OF THE USER AND I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS.INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK.(The mod is perfectly safe,but I still claim no responsibility just to be safe!)

These files are hereby released as freeware and MUST NOT be used as payware.
These files are only to be uploaded at Combatace.com.

If you have any Questions or maybe a bit of constructive criticism to offer,then PM me at Combatace.com.
