SF2 MiG-21bisB "Fishbed-N" Algerian Air Force Skin Pack 1.0.0

SF2 MiG-21bisB "Fishbed-N" Algerian Air Force Skin Pack                         8/29/2025

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

Here is a brand new skin for the stock 3W MiG-21bisB "Fishbed-N", as used by the Algerian Air Force from 1980 until it's retirement in the early 2000s. This is a completely new skin, created from a Home Grown Template (tm) . The aircraft is finished in late model Sand/Dark Earth with light gray undersides. The template IS included with this mod, and will also be uploaded separately.
If you have made this plane flyable, and use the "read only main ini trick", you'll have to turn that off after adding this skin, even though this does replace a stock one. See "Installation" for more details.

All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The Serial numbers are historically correct for this type of aircraft (21bisB). You'll have 18 of them. However, while all the numbers are correct, they should be considered Generic in nature, as I could not find which squadron each served in. So, I just assigned it to one that was known to operate this model.  The skin in jpg format, in 1024x1024.

When on the Loadout Page, you'll see: 

140e Escadron de Chasse (Algeria)<1980

As you can see, there is an active start date (listing in the texture set ini) and will luck it will turn on in 1980 :) (it's also the same start date for the QJJ upon receiving the 21bis)

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, "Red7001".  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; it's not very hard to find. However, I have given you repainted gunsight TGAs. They're in a very bright yellow, so as to make it easier to see for us Old Folks (tm). These are for the Paladrian cockpit, available here at CA.

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!
