File Name: SF2 DC-4 (C-54) TOPAC Airlines Skin Pack File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 15 June 2015 File Category: Other SF2 DC-4 (C-54) TOPAC Airlines Skin Pack 6/15/2015 = For SF2 (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED) = This is a new, civilian skin for Veltro2k's C-54 Skymaster cargo plane. If you don't have it, you can get the aircraft at the following URL: http://combatace.com/files/file/14309-sf2-douglas-c-54-skymaster-by-veltro2k/ The skin represents the (fictional) Trans-Orient Pacific Airlines as seen in the movie "The High and The Mighty". Although the colors are correct for the real world company. The registration numbers ARE 100% historicaly correct for the aircraft depicted, although used by Transocean Airlines (whose aircraft were used for the film, of course, repainted to the TOPAC "brand"), based out of Oakland CA in the late 1940s through the late 1960s. They used up to 68 DC-4 & ex-USA(A)F C-54s for passanger and cargo transport, worldwide. The skin is in jpg format. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The aircraft registration marked with a star (*) is the aircraft used in the film. While this DOES depict a civilian airliner, the "nation" has been attached to 'USAF', as the Real Company DID do contract work from them 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!

File Name: SF2 USAF 1950s & Later C-47 Skytrain Skin Pack File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 15 June 2015 File Category: Other SF2 USAF 1950s & Later C-47 Skytrain Skin Pack 6/10/2015 = For SF2 (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED, PLUS SF2I EXPANSION SET 1 ) = **You =MUST= have SF2 Expansion Pack 1 to have access to the stock 3W C-47!!!** Reskins of the stock 3W C-47 skytrain, representing USAF aircraft of the 1950s, and from the mid-50s thru the 1970s. This package contains 2 skins (names reflect the actual folder names. Displayed names may/will be different): USAF Arctic 1: (displays as same) As based at Elmendorf AFB, Alaska, and seen in many "points North". The aircraft carries the standard Alaska Air Command early 50s style of red tail and outer wings; and also has the Air Rescue Service yellow band and fuselage placard, with the AAC badge on the tail. Research has indicated either the 17th or 54th Troop Carrier Squadrons (which were based at Elmendorf in the early 1950s). This skin is also representative of the Skytrain as seen in the movie "The Thing from Another World (1951)". That aircraft is represented, including it's nose art. See Notes for more details on "Tropical Tilly". USAF NM 2: (displays as USAF NM/White (Late) ) This skin uses the SF2 date switch, and will turn on in 1955. Standard post-1955, natural metal with heat refelctive white painted upper cabin (fuselage). Carries no unit or numbered AF badges, not even the MATS badge. Serial numbers carry the "0" (zero) prefix, designating aircraft 10 or more years of age. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. While serial numbers are correct for the aircraft depicted, they should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent no specific aircraft or unit. 18 serial number decals are provided for each aircraft. Skins remain in bmp format (I was lazy!) Also included are the cockpit (for those that haven't made it flyable yet) updated/revamped data, avionics, userlist inis, plus pilot figures and engine sound. I've also given you my (patent-pending) "One Click Restore" main ini. There are no hangar or loading screens for either of these 2 skins (I lied -- there's one. You'll see it!). 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!

you're going to need "specials" for that airfield base tiles ... otherwise trees will growing up the middle of the runway and ramps. what is that, an SG50? If so, there's one you can modify in my WW2 Formosa terrain. For Runways 1, 5, and 6 you might need to make two 3ways (sea-airfield-grass, sea-grass-airfield) or if it's 2 SG50s back to back, the 'inner' edges open to each other The one below, can fit a runway 3. As you can see, it has 'fields' on the eastern edge; easily clone stamped out, so if you have to SG50s back to back across the peninsula, you should be able to fit a R 1/5/6 in there. If not, make a new "grass AB tile" and Grass to AB transitiions Nothing to it! forgot to add, if you're going to be working on Formosa, you'll probably want to use the specials I built for some of the harbors. There's also some very cool specials I built for Vietnam, on the as yet uncompleted CBI map for Hanoi and Haiphong

It IS in my world ... I call 'em as I sees 'em NEVER feel bad for speaking the truth, in anything

File Name: SF2 IDF C-47 Skytrain Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 12 June 2015 File Category: Other 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.

then, you're not doing something right. ----- actually, the F-105D_66 pit would be a better fit. That's what I've been using on mine since 2012. The only thing I had to "turn off" was a tweek to not show the canopy frame, via a cockpit ini edit.

bet the skin maps are named differently?

[CockpitSeat001] ModelName=Mirage_IIIO_pit.LOD Offset=0.0,0.0,0.0 Position=0.0,3.75,0.53 <--------------- this will need adjusting ViewAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0

but you will also need to extract the Mirage's cockpit ini, place it INTO the Viggen's folder, and adjust the cockpit position. Because I can garuntee that the position (relative to the physical aircraft) will be different

oh yeah! Amerika Bomber!!

that all depends on the scale of the height field ... I had the same problem for the WW2 PI version. Adding Puerto Princessa wasn't a big issue, but adding the others might be. given the fact that when you flatten the airfield zone, it's 5-6km in radius, has a real tendency to foul up the local hills and valleys big time. As can be seen on the chart, lots of small fields, but many are very close to mountains, making it a risky proposition. I just wish the TE had a better way of doing it!

Your welcome! and Thanks!

Beauties!! Great work!!

probably the same thing I went through a few years back (see above). Extract a new data ini, and see if that fixes it

sick and tired of seeing IDF Dakota's parked on the ramp with the wrong paint jobs...sooooooooo over Natural Metal ™ so... (also doing the blue/brown early camo, and Del's C-130E. At the very least, will give the airbases some eye candy)
