SF1 skins for SF2 planes

[DEVIL11 31]

I don't know if I asked this before. I am trying to use A-4 skins from SF1 skins to the A-4's of strike fighters 2. I've noticed that the skins work except the skins are out of line instead of being in the right place of the jets. Is there any way to convert the skins to work for SF2. Also some skins have decals folders and some skins don't. Thanks for your replies

some skins may work 100%  but,heres the rub...sf2 models have been redone so mapping will be off...ie,older skins may be similar but the modeller for 3wire has altered the mapping\textures\models so most wont sit right...

sf1 had decals in a\c folder  sf2 uses decal folder ,but its a matter of pointing the decal ini to the folders...its up to you where they reside.

So I have saved games/third wire/strike fighters 2 Vietnam/decals

Objects

Soo I have an A-4C sky hawk with a skin VA-34. It does not have a decal folder. Soo I have the skin with the A-4C. Would I make a D folder with that plane in the decals folder and put the VA-34 skin. Also would I have to change anything in the decals ini for the skins to work.
