SF2 MiG-17F "Fresco-C" Algerian Air Force Skin Pack 1.0.0

SF2 MiG-17F "Fresco-C" Algerian Air Force Skin Pack                                                            8/24/2025

-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)

Here are 2 new(ish) skins for the stock 3W MiG-17 "Fresco-C", as used by the Algerian Air Force from 1965 thru the early 1980s. Basically, slight 'rebadging' of the stock "QJJSilver1" and "QJJCamo1" (Nile Style), but with corrected serial number decals. I've =not= included any of the bits to make it flyable, but if you have, and use the "read only main ini trick", you'll have to turn that off after adding this skin, even though this does replace the stock one. See "Installation" for more details.

All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The two sets of Serial numbers are historically correct (ish). You'll have 24 for the NMF, and 18 for the Camo. However, while all the numbers are correct, they should be considered Generic in nature, as I could not find which squadron each served in. Any marked with the cross (or plus sign +) are conjectural, as I could not find any reference to them. The Post 1968 (Camo) skin uses the "FG-**" style. Both skins remain in their 'as issued' BMP format (3w Rez)

When on the Loadout Page, you'll see 

Algerian Silver (1964)
Algerian Camo (<1968)

This is NOT changed from the original listing on the texture set inis, with the exception of adding specific decal randomization text, and the year tags.

I have included a modified data and loadout ini. The data ini gives the aircraft some "hardening" (via aluminum armor), and the loadout ini adds the drop tank for all missions. I've also included a new pilot figure, "RedAir1".  The canopy is also activated, it uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). 
What I have NOT given you, are the bits and bobs necessary to make it Player Flyable (tm). If you haven't done this, you'll have to root around for the needed cockpit in the CA downloads. (cough - by Stary). I have, however given you the VK-1F engine sound.

As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! Also, the Notes section has more details on the changes. 

Happy Landings!
