DC-8 Sarigue. SF2.

By yakarov79

DC-8 Sarigue. Systeme Aeroporte de Recueil d’Informations de Guerre Electronique (Airborne Electronic Warfare Information Gathering System)

Simple mod of Veltro's DC-8 aircraft.
Ive made this to fill my Desert Storm instal.
It is not perfect but consider this as beta.
If someone wishes to add something, improve skins etc...contact me.

Fake Pilot mod is needed to run this mod.

I've made one basic skin thanks to templates from original pack and DC-8 Sarigue mod.
I'm using C-160 pit from florians work. It fits well for me here. In case i want to fly this.

DC-8 Series by Veltro2k

Douglas DC-8 series By Veltro2k

This mod features three versions of the Douglas DC-8 jetliner and historical skinsets from introduction in the early '60s through the mid '80s. A little something for eye candy around the airfields or to run intercepts on.

Versions
*DC-8 representing the original DC-8-10/20/30/40 versions with the quieting tubes on the exhaust
*DC-8-50 representing the final short fuselage version and JT3D engines without quieting tubes
*DC-8-60 representing two of the final new build versions with stretched fuselage.
*several historical skinsets for all models
*flight and nations ini edits to allow airliner nation and a spaced out in line formation

Installation
unzip and load into mods folder. allow merging

Known Issues
* The cockpit is the same pit as in all V2k's big jet planes. Not proper but the plane was meant for eye candy not regular missions
* The DC-8-50 model has a seam running along the spine. Until Veltro makes an appearance again this will be there. It is not noticeable at a distance
*This is a huge mod (4 1/2 GB) due to how i've made the skins, or specifically the tgas for the fuselage.It takes a bigger decal to paint the side of an airliner

Credits

daddyairplanes skin and tga work, some ini edits

I hope you enjoy this mod as much as i enjoyed making it

Nort American Harvard Mk.II

By paulopanz

The North American Aviation T-6 Texan is a single-engined advanced trainer aircraft used
to train pilots of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), United States Navy, Royal
Air Force and other air forces of the British Commonwealth during World War II and into
the 1970s. Designed by North American Aviation, the T-6 is known by a variety of designations
depending on the model and operating air force.
The United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) and USAAF designated it as the AT-6,
the United States Navy the SNJ, and British Commonwealth air forces, the Harvard,
the name it is best known by outside of the US

WHAT'S IN

- Old Bunyap post WWII Harvard revamped
- a plenty of new/restored skins & decals
Aeronavale, BAF (2), EAF (3), FAL (1), FAP (1), Arme de l'Air (2), HAF (2),
IAF (1), IDF (3), JVL (1), KLU (2), PAF (2), RAF 86), RCAF (1), RDAF (1),
RJAF (1), RNAF (2), RNZAF (5), RRhAF (2), SAAF (9), SyAF (2), TuAF (1), Yemen (1)
- pilots
- weapons
- sounds
- screens

KNOWN ISSUE:

- Shadows disabled, but pilots and weapons set not to cast shadows too

NOTE:

- SAAF camo Harvards had not markings when on war theatre. So you will be free to remore decals.ini

CREDITS:

- Bunyap: model
- Wrench: a lot of previous precious work included and upgraded here. Great Kev!
- Some other people I don't remember (I'm Very sorry), but I'll add if you pm me
- paulopanz (me): skins/decals/screens/editing/tweakings/packing/Fish/Chips/etc.

INSTALL:

- as usual put all in your mod folder

This little bird will fit with almost ALL our existing and future cold war scenarios.

A real classic.

USAF A-37B Pack

A-37B USAF Pack
This is the current end point for two years worth of work. Centurion-1 began by creating a new model for the Super Tweet, several contributors later we are releasing it to you

Included are decals, new J85 sound, an updated squadronlist.ini, appropriate weapons, and 3 versions of the aircraft.
- A-37B: the original, as used by the USAF, Air National Guard, and several Latin American air arms. no refuel probe
- A-37B (76): adds refuel probe, as used by US ANG and USAF Reserve units the second half of the 1970s
- OA-37B: Final version as in US service, and as currently used by Latin American air arms. With refuel probe
- Photoshop templates for those that want to bring the other air forces into play

**********************************KNOWN ISSUES***********************************************************
-Cockpit is missing throttles. Unless Centruion1 returns this is unresolveable
-Lod is locked in, unless Centurion-1 returns.
-Modders: there is a bleed issue on the right side. any bands like the VNAF had need to be on skin, not tga. small decals like insignia work fine.
-This mod uses my master squadronlist.ini. IF installed into another install with other than stock squadronlist, do not install. It will mess up the other things on your install and my mod is adapted to force the decals.

NOTICE: this mod currently is AS IS and can only be modded by skinning and ini edits. It's not perfect, but its
in house and therefore free.
********************************************************************************************************************************
Installation: drop into mod folders. allow overwrites if it comes up. Delete DAT version, this replaces and upgrades player experience. Modders, put the templates where you wish to work on them
DON'T FORGET TO BACK UP BEFORE INSTALLING!

****************NOTE!!!!!! IMPORTANT NOTE *************************************************************

If you install this in a install that has eburgers SF2V Air & Ground Expansion Pack, DO NOT INSTALL THE PILOTDATA FOLDER!!!! This will overwrite the Squadronlist.ini in the pack and may break something. If you do not have the Air&Ground pack or NATO Fighters installed the new squadronlist ini will work fine and be a big improvement for units available.

Big Safari: C-54D Hilo Hattie

By yakarov79

C-54D Hilo Hatie
March 2016.
This is fake pilot mod of C-54D by Veltro. Original file can be found here

http://combatace.com/files/file/14309-sf2-douglas-c-54-skymaster-by-veltro2k/

This mod represents Big Safari modified C-54D for recon flight under code name Hilo Hattie. Modifications included installation of a new night photography capability with photo flash cartridge ejector and Reconflex VI infrared camera.

C-54D 43-17235 began operations on 20 April 1962 with a cover story for aircraft's purpose.
Hilo Hattie mapped all of south Vietnam and border areas of Laos and Cambodia. During 10 months of service, the aircraft flew 102 missions before it was replaced by Brave Bull - Big Safari modified C-97G.

So this mod is mostly for players interested in Wings Over Vietnam.

Decals, skins (based on veltro2k templates) - yakarov.
Hilo Hattie ini work (few lines for fake pilot and weaponstations work) - yakarov.
Fake pilot mod is done by me - yakarov.
original model - veltro2k
original ini work - Wrench

and have fun

SF2 Douglas C-54 Skymaster by Veltro2K 9/23/2013

= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =

This the release of the Veltro2k's WW2 & Post-War US Cargo aircraft, made most famous by it's use during the Berlin Airlift.

It is REQUIRED that you have some measure of SF2, merged to whatever level, as this mod references the stock An-12's destroyed model. Hence, the need (as I state it always) for a Full 5 Merged install. It is usable without, but you may not have the dead, burning wreckage on the ground. It has NOT been tested in 1stGen SF/Wo* at any patch level. It most likely will =NOT= work, due to LOD coding.

This pack includes the following 4 skins for the C-54:

OD/Grey, with 1942-43 'star-and-ball'
OD/Grey, late WW2 (late 43-later), 'star-and-bar'
Natural Metal, Late WW2, to late 1947 (pre-USAF formation)
"USAF", Natural Metal, post 0ctober 1947 (tagged with Military Air Transport badges star-bar w/red stripe).

The AvHistory engine is included.
Skins are in jpg format, and decal radomization is set to TRUE for all. ALL markings are decals. The damage textures are in DDS format. The template is included for other skinners (and in the hopes someone can clean up the mess I made of it!!
Each skin has it's own Hangar Screen, matching the paint job (more or less).
The cargo loading door/ramp opens and closes with the standard Bombay key (Control/0).

As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Notes" section a read, in particular on operational usage, and the FM and other stuff like that there.

Happy Landings!

F-89 Scorpion Pack for SF2

By Wrench

F-89 Scorpion Pak for SF2 6/4/2010

-- Version 2, 3/3/2016 --

This package includes the full set of F-89 Scorpions, from MontyCZ's original C & D version, PLUS the variant mods I'd created, giving the H, J (Early) and J (Late). The various readmes for the sub-variants are included in their specific aircraft folder, just for historical purposes.

This package has been peaked and tweeked for use in SF2 =ONLY=, and is NOT designed for use on SF/Wo* series 1st Gen sims. It makes use of certain elements found ONLY, and usable ONLY, in SF2.

Everything is included -aircraft, inis, skins, decals, weapons, pilots. =EXCEPT= a cockpit. Due to changes in SF2's internal coding, these aircraft now make use of the stock in-game F-4B via ini edits that through sorcery now reach back into the cat files, and create usable cockpits without the need of a cockpit folder. How this works, I don't know or care; but that it =does= is a wonderful thing!!

On such aircraft that have operating canopies (those that use the F-89D lod), the canopy works via the Standard Manual Animation Keystroke , shift/0.

This package is designed to REPLACE the original set, and will drop right over it, providing you have it already. If you don't, no worries! Just install as normal.

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

Good Hunting!

KC-97L Stratofreighter

By Veltro2k

KC-97L Stratofreighter

The KC-97 Stratofreighter was an aerial refueling tanker variant of the C-97 Stratofreighter (which was itself based on the Boeing B-29 Superfortress), greatly modified with all the necessary tanks, plumbing, and "flying boom." The cavernous upper deck was capable of accommodating oversize cargo accessed through a very large right-side door. In addition, transferrable jet fuel was contained in tanks on the lower deck (G-L models). Both decks were heated and pressurized for high altitude operations.

Serial numbers, while generic in nature, ARE for the model depicted (KC-97G converted to L model). 18 serial decals are included. Decal randomization is true. All markings are decals.
Damage texture is in DDS.
A new userlist is included for the 2 main users (USAF, and Spain -3 aircraft)
Crew entry door is operated by the Standard Animation Keystroke , Shift/0 (zero). The standard bomb bay keystorke, Cntl/0 (oh) operates the refueling boom.
For skinners, within the Decals folder is a PSD to assist in the creation of other USAF ANG tail badges, as well as some base bmps for other decals to be made from.
A new combo "jet/recip" engine sound (borrowed from the P-2H Neptune) is included, as is the usual "4 engine piston" for those that find the other too loud.

credits:
Veltro2K for the aircraft
TMF for alt flaps & alt gear sounds
?? for P2V-7 (Neptune) engine/jet sound (Argentinian Modder Group - Sucidal? Torno?)
AvHistory (GregoryP) for engine sound

Upgrade Kit for C-17 Globemaster III (V2K)

C-17 Globemaster III Upgrade
by daddyairplanes

This mod upgrades Veltro2k's C-17 Globemaster III to incorporate all tactical USAF and all foreign users. It has skins for all 9 C-17 operators as well as time specific in the USAF and a couple of fictional skins (15 in all). The base skin has been updated by Flogger23 and myself, and ini updated by yours truly.

***************************** Installation: ********************************
unzip, copy to mods folder, allow overwrite if needed.

*****************************Known Issues********************************
-The cockpit is nonexistant. These are mainly as AI and the mission set for transports is limited so this will probably not be fixed soon
-while cargo statements are included in the data.ini, there is a wall at the back of the cargo bay that prevents the interior from being seen. If this is remodeled, i will include cargo "weapons" and tweek the positions.
-the Qatar VIP skin does not have "Qatar" decal on the bottom. It left a mark on the right side as a tga and was too screwy looking being on the seam of the skin so i left it off.

*********************Contibutors and Thanks to: ********************
Veltro2K- created the original model
Flogger23- reworked the skin for better looking panel lines and other features
Lazarus1177- pointing out to use jpeg rather than bmp. Learn something new everyday
daddyairplanes- tga work, ini editting, stubborn determination to see more than just one unit on a skin
airliners.net- loading and hangar screens
Dave, Muesli, Flogger23, Viggen, Lazarus1177, allenjb42- other sets of eyes to catch what i screwed up on

I hope you enjoy this mod and airlift the troops right to the enemies doorstep.

McDonnel Douglas DC-10-30

Presenting ... The DC-10-30 Airliner! This bird is created from Marcfighters KC-10 model and some ini editing by yours truly to remove the AAR equipment. in this version the aircraft is shown as many airlines flew her in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. This supersedes the previous version.
INCLUDED
DC-10-30 aircraft (template included) with 70s,80s and 90s skins
decals for same
flight folder to modify nations and formation inis
terrain folders to modify limited nations list for all stock terrains
folders to adjust ODS, NF5 and SF2NA Exp Pack

CREDITS
Marcfighters............. KC-10 physical model
daddyairplanes........ conversion, new skin and template, decal work and ini edits
Kesselbrut................. for his C-130J-30_cockpit

THANKS TO
TK ... for the base game
Marcfighters ... for allowing me to run amok with his old baby
Wrench, eburger68, Gepard, and the overall community ... for much advise and technical
support on this project
slartibarfast, viggen, macelena and others who crash tested this thing for me

******************************WARNING*******************************************************************************
this bird is rather old, and has its limitations. it is not meant for flying on recon missions,
but rather mainly for eye candy and somethin to possibly intercept or escort. while you CAN
fly it, that does NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD. that said buyer beware all quirks of this bird like the pitch
down on gear and flap retractions and the non moving control surfaces.

****************************USE OF THIS MOD*************************************************************************
I will allow fairly free use of this mod in any other mod. What i (at this time) request is that you do not
create a new skin based airline for it. the airlines are on as tga so that many airlines show up at one time.
A seperate say "Pan Am" skin will ruin the effect and there will be 8-9 Pan Am birds on the tarmac. Any airline
you would like to see, pm me and i will either tell you how to make it or time allowing make it and add in. Thank
you.

again, thank you for downloading this and i hope you enjoy it

CFM powered E-3 Sentry Pack

CFM E-3 Sentrys
by daddyairplanes

This mod adjusts Veltro2k's E-3D release to add all 3 E-3 versions that used CFM-56 engines. Included are the RAF's D model, French AF's F model and Royal Saudi AF's A model.

Installation
Unzip. Install into desired mod molder. Allow merging and overwrites

Known Issues
No there is not an ESM kit for the E-3F at this time. If a 3d modeller is able to assist in the future one may be added via fakepilot. However the French birds are the only ones to use that bit of equipment, so it is somewhat low priority.

Aircraft Included
Sentry AEW.1 (E-3D), E-3F Sentry and E-3A Sentry RSAF

Credits
Veltro2k: original model and original hangar screen for the E-3D
daddyairplanes: ini edit to create E-3A_RSAF and E-3F, new hangars for mentioned aircraft based on original in E-3D, tga and ini edit work. improved D model skin and tga
TK: the original moddable game
Dave, eburger68: technical consultations on in game behavior

I hope you enjoy this humble little mod.

UPDATE NOTES
*****************************

IMPORTANT.

Update by 76.IAP-Blackbird. All credits to him. He did great job on this.
He fixed airbrakes and put engine reverse thrust into specified models with TF33 / JT3D engines.

If you already have this pack. You can download just update data.ini of each aircraft. file Updated_Aircraft_Data_only.rar

Please copy data.ini file of aircraft model into specific folder in game mod folder.
Do not use Data.ini of on emodel on other. Even if file name is same.
Example.

RC-135U_70 got different data.ini file than model _80 or _90.
So you need to copy each aircraft data.ini file from each folder of this update into yours game folders.
Just keep this in mind to avoid mess with fake pilot RC mods.

Or you can download whole updated pack and overwrite yuor game files.

If you are downloading it for the first time. No need to download update. It has already updated ini files.

You need FakePilot mod to run this pack.

This is Beta version which means:

- I never finished avionics work. I was trying to do something but lack of time...and it will take me months. So ther is no specific avionics for every model. Just one generic. And it is not working. It really needs some avionics work.

- Skins could be better. I just simple deleted some lines here and there but I've never put so much attention to weathering etc.

- Cokpit is from B-52. Just for test flights. It is included. I don't remember who made this. All credit to him.

- All birds are set as Bobmer so they can fly high.

- For sure it needs some ini work.

- It need still some work. But only if i will find time. Better to upload it now than never. So for now it is realased as in condition.

Pack includes

RC-135C Big Team.
RC-135D Rivet Brass.
RC-135E Lisa Ann / Rivet Amber.
RC-135M Rivet Card.
RC-135S Rivet Ball. first S version under name Wanda Belle and later Rivet Ball.
RC-135S Cobra Ball early as in 1969
RC-135S Cobra Ball as in early eighties.
RC-135S Cobra Ball current version as rebuild in mid nineties.
RC-135U Combat Sent early version with 'Towel Rails' and first paint scheme
RC-135U Combat Sent still early version but with new paint scheme.
RC-135U COmbat Sent late version as modified in late eighties.
RC-135V Rivet Joint eary version of V model with LTV mission equipment
RC-135V Rivet Joint late rebuild with E-Systems humps.
RC-135W Rivet Joint
RC-135W Rivet Joint as above but with new engines.

All serial numbers are historicaly correct. Same as names.
All aircraft were names as code + number "Combat Sent II or Cobra Ball I etc.) I have no information about everything. Info about any of it would be great. Especialy about Rivet Card.

Since whole mod is made via fake pilot there are some limitations.
Biggest "no" for me is first S- Cobra Ball where 663 and 664 carried little different set of sensors.

Some aircrafts were upgraded later than other in same model group. So service date is generic as first aircraft of block build was issued.
Example: first Cobra Ball was flying already 1969 (663 number) but second (664 number) was delivered in 73 if I remember correctly. Same with other aircrafts, they were never delivered same year.

There were few fancy nosearts spotted on RCs but...not this time. Maybe later with some updates

Instalation:

Copy subfolders to specific folders in your mod directory.
Aircraft,Pilots, Decals.
Thats it.

Enjoy.

Keep an eye on enemy.

SF2 IDF C-47 Skytrain Pak

By Wrench

SF2 IDFAF C-47 Skytrain Pak 6/10/2016

= For SF2:I (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED ) =

**You =MUST= have SF2I Expansion Pack 1 to have access to the stock 3W C-47!!!.**

Some small modifications, reskining/decaling of the stock 3rd Wire C-47 Skytrain/Dakota
transport aircrft, as used by the Israeli Defense Force. Be advised, THIS mod is designed
for use -ONLY- in your SF2:I mod's folder.

The package contains 2 skins for No. 103 "Flying Elephants" squadron Skytrains:

Brown/Blue camo (mid 1950s thru 1969)
Late 3 Tone Camo (1969-2001)

Skins are in original bmp format. The SF2 "date switch" is used, and the game will
automatically switch over to the late 3-tone in 1969. The Brown/Blue will start in 1955,
although research is not conslusive as to exactly when. For years predating that, they
seem be in an OD/Grey type of paint job (not the NM finish the Game Engine uses).

All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Serial & Modex numbers are 100%
historically correct. Both skins use the same 'pool' of number decals. There are no Hangar
or Loading screens, but all sounds and pilot figures are provided. Also included are the
cockpit (for those that haven't made it flyable yet) updated/revamped data, avionics, and
userlist inis. I've also given you my (patent-pending) "One Click Restore" main ini.

As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest
of the readme for the install instructions.

Happy Landings!

C-141A Starlifter Redux 2

This is primarily a skin pack although it fixes a few quirks in the data.ini that was pointed out in testing as well.
Included are 3 historical skins: Natural Metal, White over Grey and European 1.
A dozen serial numbers and represented units tied to those numbers

Credits: BIG THANKS to Geary for the staring templates. He was much faster on panel lines than i could have been, and it does
help a skin when it has proper panels and some weathering
Veltro2k for the original model and some technical support
Wrench for more tech support and updating the original some
Muesli for testing the semi final product
TK for the game itself
me, well i just made the nat metal and lizard skins, decals and cleaned up a little round the inis and edges

Install directions: drop the objects folder into your mod folder. Allow overwrites. No particular SF version needed and historically
fits into all of them including Israel (resupply in '73).

I hope you enjoy this mod

Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina (the post WWII series)

By paulopanz

With the end of the war, all of the flying boat versions of the Catalina were quickly retired from the U.S. Navy, but the amphibious versions remained in service for some years The Catalina subsequently equipped the world's smaller armed services into the late 1960s in fairly substantial numbers.
Even if it left service quite soon, this plane was used worldwide and so useful for many our scenarios or campaigns.

For example: Israel '48-56, Timor confrontation, French Indochina, Taiwan, Cuban Crisis, Scandinavian Front(*), an Early Falkland campaign and much more

What's in:

- a new plane;
- 29 new (*) skins Aéronavale (5), ARA (3), AURI (2), Chile (1), Dominica (1), FAC (1), FAR (1),IDF (1), KMARINE (2) RDAF (3), RNAF (4), Sweden (2), Taiwan (1), US Navy (2)
- Historical decalsets;
- pilots;
- weapons;
- sounds;
- New screens;
- loadout.tga;

Notes:

- original shadow issue (I don't know why) solved;
- nose bloothering quick fixed;

Credits:

- Veltro2k - plane model;
- Wrench - WW2 plane edition;
- Pappychcksix - Templates;
- FeDee - Original ARA skins fixed and redone;
- Paulopanz - Skins, Decals, pilots, edits;
Install:

- all mod folder content in your mod install
- overwrite

Please include these Catalinas in your existing or further mods, only crediting Veltro and me.
That's all

Enjoy

@ paulopanz

(*) 2 Sweden are my original skins for Tp-47 in TSF2 pack; 3 Norvegian skins too came with that pack but are upgraded here and the 4th is quite new.

SF2 PB-1W AEW "Navy Fortress" Pak

By Wrench

SF2 PB-1W AEW "Navy Fortress" Pak 9/29/2014

-- Something for the Early Cold War players --

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

**Note: Having any SF2 series game is HIGHLY reccomended, as this mod references the stock destroyed An-12. This mod will absolutely -NOT- work in any 1stGen Games at ANY patch level. This aircraft uses several SF2NA ONLY mission statments and avionics coding, and should only be used in a Full-5 or NA environment.**

*Note x2: this aircraft mod is designed to replace any and all eariler variants. If you have the old 1stGen one, you are advised to completely delete that mod; aircraft, declas and all.*

This is a release of Veltro2K's PB-1W Navy Flying Fortress Airborne Early Warning and Patrol aircraft. This package =ONLY= represents Forts used by the US Navy in the post-war timeframe (including the Korean War), until replaced by the WV-2 Constellation in 1955.

There is 1 skins/decal set(s) in this pack:

VW-1 circa 1947-1955, as based at NAS Barbers Point, Territory of Hawaii

The Skin is in jpg format. The serials ARE historically accurate (100%) for the aircraft and unit, as all PB-1s served with VW-1 at one time or another.
All markings are decals. All lighting is historically correct. Damage textures are in DDS format.
Engine sounds, pilot figures, Hangar and Loading screens are included. Operational service dates are rounded to 'whole years'.
When in game you'll see:

PB-1W Navy Fortress (v2k)

on the aircraft selection drop down. This will differentiate this one from any others that you may (or may not) have

As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations.

Happy Landings!!
Wrench
Kevin Stein

*Note: this has been placed in the "Cold War Aircraft" section, even though the original airframes were of WW2 vintage. The aircraft was only use DURING the start of the Cold War*

Cessna O-1E BirdDog Upgrade Pak -for 3rdWire O-1E-

By Wrench

Cessna O-1E BirdDog Pak -for 3rdWire O-1E-
= For SF2, Any and All

= Please Note: this is =NOT= a full aircraft mod. The LOD files are =NOT= included, as they are propritery of 3rdWire, and cannot be shared. So ... you =MUST= have one of the original 1stGen games - SFP1, WoV or WoE to extract the 4 needed LOD files from their Objects.cat. Instructions are in the 'To Install' section. =

This is a major overhaul of the stock, 1stGen O-1E BirdDog with a new, functioning cockpit, 4 skins and all new historically accurate serial numbers (albeit generic in nature, representing no particular unit; even the Canadian ones)

The skins are:

RCAF/CF CO-119 by ext (iirc)
OD Green by ???
USAF white (stock)
Pakistani Army Green (based on above, from Indo/Pak mod)

The RCAF/CF skin has all new decals, matching those used by Canada (*please seen "Notes" below for more on the CF serials*).
The OD Green skin from ?? has the "US Army" tag remade new, replacing that from my ancient L-19 mod, that was in the wrong font.
The USAF skin uses stock decals, as it has always done (F-100 serials).
Basically, other than stock National Insigia (and serials on the USAFWhite), all decals are new.

The cockpit is based off Kesselbrut's Yak-3 pit, HEAVILY modified to fit the O-1, with gauges repainted and converted/recalibrated to US standard (knots & feet). Some gauges do not work properly, but this is the closest we have (or more truthfully, the best I could
find). Lots of moves and other tweeks to both the data and cockpit ini make it fit like it kinda sorta shoulda.

Decal randomization is set to TRUE, so be at least at whichever patch level gave that to us.
The aircraft uses stock HVARs, but for fun I've included the M-60 underwing machine gun. So you can shoot stuff up. A revamped version of the 7.62mm M-60 gun is also included. A new Userlist.ini is supplied, with most of the Dog's users.

As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them -CAREFULLY-!! .... Also, see the "Notes" section for Vitally Important Information . Seriously ... you NEED to read it. In fact, after unzipping, you might want to read this document through before installing.

Happy Landings!

F7U-3M Cutlass by Marcfighters

By Wrench

Vought F7U-3M Cutlass (by Marcfighters)
- For SF2 (Any and All, but Full-4 Merged Prefered) -

This is an upgrade to the F7U Pak I released in 2008, and like the original, still a sort of Beta (Minus). This is simply because the aircraft model is/was NOT finished by Marcello. Details as to this rating are enumerated in the 'ori-2008_f7u_readme.txt' included.

It's suggested for a Full-4 merged, although it can be used in any version that has access to the F-4B, as that cockpit is referenced, and the A-4's 300 gallon drop tank. These should be available in all versions, perhaps excepting SF2I, as that lacks the F-4B as stock.

Several ini tweeks move this a little closer (well, in that respect) for SF2. For the change list, see the "Notes" section below.

2 skins/decal are included:

VA-116 (Gull Gray/White, from the original pak)
VF-124 (new, in 'natural metal')

I've also included the skin templates, just in case someone might want them (and IMPROVE them!!). Also included is the AIM-7A Sparrow & AIM-9A Sidewinder from the GunnyPak (in case you ain't go it). All other weapons/drop tanks used are stock in-game items.

As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... I've also included my original readme from the 2008 release -- might want to give a read. It states what's what with this, and why it's classed as a "Beta Minus" release, even now. So, again, please read it.

Good Hunting!

Lockheed S-3B Viking by FoxMontor

By Wrench

Lockheed S-3B Viking by FoxMonter
= For SF2, Any and All =

This is the (hopefully) full, compiled package of FoxMonter' S-3B "Viking" Sea Control Aircraft, upgraded/updated/fiddled-to-fit the SF2 series. I've assembled all the skin/decal sets I could find into one big lump.

Skins included in the pak are:

VS-21 Fighting Redtails +
VS-27 Sea Wolves *
VS-29 Dragonfires +
VS-30 Diamondcutters +
VS-30DS (Desert Storm) ?
VS-32 Maulers ?
VS-33 Screwbirds +
VS-33lo Screwbirds (Lo-Viz) +
VS-35 Blue Wolves *
VS-38 Red Griffins +
VX-1 Pioneers +

The suffix symbols designate the artist that created the skins/decals. The Key is below:

*=HrntFxr
+=Paul Nortness
?=IDK

All decals and decal inis have been fixed and updated to SF2 standards.
Several ini edits to the loadout, data and avionics also update them to SF2 standards (as of Aug, 2011). Wingfold and bombay animations have been seperated; bombay uses the standard Control/O (oh)key, and the wingfold is activated via the Shift/9 key. The cockpit is not equiped with an RWR display, so an 'audio-only' version is used. The flight model is unchanged.
A new, SF2-style photographic hangar screen is also included. I've also included several sounds called for in the data ini.

As always, READ the enclosed readme for full,detailed, easy-to-follow install instructions.

With thanks to all the skinners, and FoxMontor for their work!

Good Hunting!
