Aichi D3A "Val" Carrier Air Groups Skin Pak -- For SF/WoV/WoE WW2 PTO installs
 

"Pearl Harbor Attackers" - The Dive Bombers


 
This package contains a set of 6 NEW skins for Pasko's D3A "Val", IJN carrier based dive bomber.
 
These skins are designed for a 'start of the war' time frame, up until approximately Feb/March 1942, when the paint scheme began to change from the 'light gray' to a 'camo green' for the stike aircraft.
 
The carrier dive bomber groups represented here are:
 


Akagi
Hiryu
Kaga
Shokaku
Soryu
Zuikaku


 
as seen on the morning of 7 December, 1941, during the Attack on Pearl Harbor. This is obviously the "start of the war" paint scheme, of the light gray. Some of these aircraft also operated over China, prior to the Hawaiian Operation, and wore this same paint job.
 
They are NOT 100% historical; there are a few certain liberties I've taken to make them more usable for a slightly longer timeframe than should be historically accurate (more in the "Other Notes" section below). In other words, some squadron and flight specific markings have NOT been created. Although simpler in execution, it does gaul my sense of propriety and my bent toward "as close to 100% accuracy as possible". Such is life! :(
 
The skin were created using a new template I created, based on the original skins, resized to 1024, with all new panel and rivet lines; all new individual aircraft tail codes for 18-21 aircraft (depending on the ship) have also been supplied.
 
Also included are modified data, loadout and cockpit inis. The loadout ini uses the correct WW2 Japanese bombs, the data and cockpit inis have been 'metric-ized' to show meters, kilometers per hour, etc (like I've done for several other Axis aircraft). NEW damage tgas have also been created and included, for that shot-up look. My Hangar and Loading screens are here as well, for those that might want to use them.
 
= IMPORTANT: These aircraft are designed for use in SF/WoV/WoE -ONLY-, It has =NOT= been tested it in post 8/28/08 patch WoI, or post 9/08 - 10/08 patch SF/WoV/WoE. You use it in these enviroments at YOUR own risk. =
 
= This mod is designed for use with the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06, as it contains all the needed weapons . If attempting to use this aircraft with any other weapons pak, you'll need to add ALL the WW2 era bombs, torpedoes, etc. They are NOT included in this package. =
 
Full, detailed instructions are in the enclosed readme. The Commander of the Combined Fleets REQUIRES that you read it ... or take the Honorable Way Out...
 
Good Hunting!

HMS Cavalier, "C" Class Destroyer

This is Hinch's WW2 era/post-war era Royal Navy destroyer.
 
UPDATED: 8/30/2012

Usable from WW2 through the 1970s
 
*should work in SF2 installs with NA; this has NOT been tested*

HMS Victorious (R38) Aircraft Carrier by Hinchbrooke
 
= For SF2, Any and All =
 
This is the aircraft carrier HMS Victorious as she appeared "post 1950s refit" until her retirement in the late 1960s. Originally released for 1stGens way back in 2005 and subsequently "lost" in the ether. Prompted by one of the CA members into looking for it, I scrounged through all my archive CDs (dating back to 2004) and actually located it. This will give our Fleet Air Arm guys someplace new to land on!
 
Some very small tweeks for SF2 (mostly to the radar statments for TEWS -but as she 'retired' in 1969, that's a bit moot).
As CVs are 'unvulnerable' in-game, her defensive armament is minimal (the same 2 guns that Hinch put on way back when), and mostly for show.
 
Also included, just for fun, are 2 missions set on the Desert map, using my SF2 mod of Skippybing's Sea Vixen. One is a take off, the other is landing. End Users ™ can always change the aircraft and 'mission date' to fit whatever aircraft pleases you. They are edits of the stock SF2 carrier take off/landing missions, moved to a
different map and using Royal Navy equipment.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for fully detailed, easy-to-follow install instructions. Hinch's original readme is included, for historical reference purposes.
With thanks to Hinch for creating this, so long ago!
 
Enjoy!

Destroyed Models Pak for SF2 WW2 Installs
 
This package is for use in creating the 'Destroyed Crashed & Burning Wreck' ™ for add-on aircraft in SF2 based WW2 installs.
 
These bits have been culled from the various terrain mods as these contained static parked aircraft with their associated destroyed lods. THESE are those destroyed lods!!, with repainted skins to make them look a bit more burned up/toasted. This will allow you to add them and have the burning wrecks on the ground ala the later model jets and so forth as seen in SF2 installs (and FE2 as well).
 
As always, fully detailed (and illustrated!!) install instructions are included. As well as a highly detailed "Notes" section, elaborating on the procedure, and giving alternates as you =WILL= probably be using several stock destroyed models as well in the data ini edits, as some of the larger aircraft will require reuse of the stock wrecks.
 
=PLEASE= read this document throughly before installing -- that will help you in making correct choices on what to use.
 
This pak is for free usage; any and all are welcome to it. Let's enhance our SF2 WW2 Experience!!

Meteor F8, RAAF, 77 Squadron Skin/Decal Pak
- For SF2, Full-4 Merged Installs =WITH= Expansion Pak 1 (REQUIRED!) -
 
As stated above, you MUST have -at the very least, SF2:I and Expansion Pak 1 to gain access to the Meteor F8. If you do NOT have these minimum requirements, Do Not Download this Mod, as you'll be unable to use it.
 
This pak contains a skin a decal set replicating Meteor F8s from RAAF 77 Squadron, 1951-ish time frame, during the Korean War. The serial numbers are 100% historicaly accurate for
those airframes assigned 77 Sqdn during Korea. Number randomization has been activated, so make sure you're at LEAST at the June, 2011 patch level. Three historical Korean-Era nose arts are included. They are 'name listed' next to their serial numbers, selectable from the drop-down on the Loadout Screen.
 
Several inis are also included, as I've made some changes to loadouts (making sure the belly tank is ALWAYS loaded), data ini and year-adjusted Userlist ini. The data ini also as the canopy activated; as usual, use Shift/0 to open and close it.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....Also, it's advisable to read the "Notes" section for important comments, other instructions and general rambling.

MiG-15bis Fagot-B, NKPAF "The Hunters"
 
= For SF2, Full-4 Merged, PLUS Expansion Pak 1 =
 
As stated above, you MUST have -at minimum!!- SF2 (full-4 merged) plus/and/or SF2I with Expansion Pak 1. If you do not have these minimum requirements, DO NOT DOWNLOAD this package, as you'll be unable to use it.
 
The skin is a base natural metal, with a partly repainted (from a partial template) "nose" bmp to add the NKPAF Red Nose. Those familiar with actual historical marking will note that is IS slightly smaller, and without the central cutout for the Bort numbers, than those made (in)famous during the Korean War. Those familiar with the movie "The Hunters" will note that the 'MiGs' were really F-84s, but that's neither here nor there <grin>.....
So, basically what this is, is a re-purposing of of the decal set as used on Pasko's MiG-15 to recreate the movie Enemy Aircraft ™, now using TK's model from Expansion Pak 1.
However ... number randomization has NOT been activated for this skin, so with luck "7-11" should be the first aircraft shown. After all, you want to fly as Casey Jones, right? Not as some lower-echelon flunky??
 
The latest (as of 7/11 patch + all the DLCs -don't know if they changed/added anything) Data ini is included, as I've activated the canopy, added a different pilot (my craptastic PilotER), and a seat ("liberated" from Pakso's old version -- fits quite nicely, too!) for him to park it on.
If you have the Cuban MiG-15 skin/ini pak, the data ini herein will replace that one. Allow the Overwrite. I've made some AI changes, to try and improve the insane pitch-up they perform on take-offs.
 
The canopy is (still!) activated via a manual animation key (use shift/0 to open and close it).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highyl detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
 
Have Fun!!

8/11/2013 Note: It's suggested you ONLY add the skin and decals to the KAW MiG-15bis. THAT one has the good flight model by Fubar512. So, do NOT use the data ini included herein!

F-104A, Pakistani Air Force, And Ini Tweeks Pak
= For SF2, Any and All =
 
Some modifications (ini wise) and a new-ish skin for the recently re-released revamp of Ajundair's F-104A Starfighter. This package is =ONLY= to be applied to the F-104A Pak by Spillone104, available at:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/13082-f-104a-pack/
 
This adds a Pakistani AF skin, with historical serial numbers (albeit 2 are for 104Bs ...) as used by No. 9 Squadron; Decal randomization is set to TRUE. Also included are several inis with some additions and corrections.
Please note, the skins are in jpg format, so be at least at the Jan 2012 patch level for them to work. If not ... you can figure out the alternatives.
 
The inis are:
Data.ini (with corrected export dates, and steerable nose wheel)
Userlist (with, hopefuly correct years)
Loadout ini (corrects the "always loading Falcons" issue)
main ini (with some minor additions)
Hangar screen (albeit the SF2 revamped 1stGen F-104G, but the differences are so small...)
Cockpit.ini, (with working secondary ADI and oil pressure gauges, ala F-104G)
the included cockpit folder does NOT have the lod, but does contain the hi-rez skins by batman1976; and probably several other not used bmps -- I couldn't remember which ones to remove, so left them alone
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for usual fully detailed install instructions.

F-104A, Royal Jordanian Air Force Skin/Decal Pak

This represents RJAF F-104As, with historical serial numbers and ID Letters (albeit 3 or 4 actually are for their 104Bs ...). Decal randomization is set to TRUE. This is a reuse of one of the newly released natural metal skins, with all new decals. What little I've been able to determine via research, they weren't painted in camo until their retirement (1980s??), and used as decoys at various RJAF bases (* the pattern described is very similiar of the Mirage F-1 the RJAF was using at the time*)
 
Please note, the skins are in jpg format, so be at least at the Jan 2012 patch level (or whichever one in 2011 allowed it) for them to work. If not ... you can figure out the alternatives.

REMINDER: you MUST have SF2:NA to access the the E-2C. If you do not meet this minimum requirement, do NOT download this mod, and you'll not be able to use it
 
This pak is a compilation of the 5 skins now available, and adds several new and/or tweeked inis, including a cockpit, that make this aircraft Player Usable.

VAW-112 (renamed from it's 'USNGray')
VAW-121

Mods to the data ini add manually folding wings (use the Usual Suspect manual animation key, Shift/9), and all lighting positions have been corrected, and other running lights added as needed. Wingtip position lights will now 'move' with the wings when folded. Landing lights have NOT been added.
A new turbine engine sound, borrowed from Del's C-130s is used, and supplied as well.

A-6E TRAM (aka "A-6E_79) Skin/Ini UPgrade Pak
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged Required; and/or SF2:NA -ONLY!!- =
 
Again, as stated above this is for the stock 3rdWire A-6E_79 ONLY!! If you do not possess SF2NA, DO NOT download this mod, as you will NOT be able to use it.
 
Some adjustments, tweeks and General Fiddling With ™ for the new SF2NA A-6E TRAM. The package includes a new skin, in Lo-Viz Gray for VA-75 "Sunday Punchers", circa 1990s
 
Several inis are included (data, loadout, avionics, main ini*), but NO COCKPT or cockpit ini is included -- you must locate and install these yourselves! The data and loadout inis have been adjusted to include LGB capabilities, a built in laser designator. Wingfold and canopy operation are controled via manual animation keys. Wingfold uses the Shift/9 and the canopy the Shift/0 keystrokes.
I've included a main ini, with the cockpit line left blank, so you can insert whichever cockpit ini name you're using. Weapons (in particular the Navy GBU-10D_N is NOT supplied. It comes from the GunnyPak, so having that would be good idea....)
 
New Hangar & Loading screen are included, as is a new loadout.tga for use on the Loadout Screen. The Loading Screen is actually a jpg conversion of the original 1stGEn bmp for the old TRAM.
 
The new skin was created from a "Home Grown Templates" ™, with many new decals. Others are stock items. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. The skin is "clean", as all markings are decals, making it a simple matter to create other squadron users. (the mid-fueslage slimer is part of the skin map)
A "StartDefaultDate=" line was NOT added, as doing so would limit you to ONLY this one skin (locking out the Gull Gray/White skins). As more Lo-Viz skins are created, it's reccomended that the actual transistion to Lo-Viz year be discovered, and added to this and any subsuquent new skins. A simple text edit of the textureset ini and adding said line to this skin's listing the A-6E_79.ini.
On the Numbers.lst, those Modex marked with a star (*) have their actual BuNums when assigned to this squadron. The others, rest assured, ARE real A-6E BuNums.
 
The templates will be uploaded seperately to the SF2/Tools & Utililties section in the Combat Ace Downloads.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them! In fact, it's reccomened (read: REQUIRED!!, you read this document through before installing to you Mods Folder)
The Notes section contains further details, descriptions, elightenments, illuminations, and so forth. Be good to read them, too.

For the Dev A-Team's A3D-1
 
*PLEASE NOTE: this is =NOT= a complete aircraft mod! A major component, the aircraft's LOD is NOT included!! This file is propritary of the Dev A-Team, and cannot be shared. You =MUST= be a Registed User ™ at their site, with access to their downloads, to make use of the Pak. If you do not have, or cannot get access, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS MOD, AS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE IT!!!*
 
It should be noted at this time, that while the folder & main ini are called "A3D-1", the aircraft in actuality is an A3D-2 (late)/A3B, as evidenced by the 'shovel nose' radome.
 
Lots of changes have been effected, to try and bring it close to SF2 standards; much more work is STILL needed by those that know how (FM rebuild). A new cockpit, adjusted loads (included a Nuke specific STRIKE loadout, and a Strike_Heavy -with MK.84s, for use with the 3W Mission Editor), a 61kt USN-spec Mk.7 atomic bomb is included (nuke effects are NOT included). All other loadouts use stock in-game items. See "Notes" for partial change list.
Wingfold operates by the standard manual animation keystroke, Shift/9.
 
3 skins and decal sets are included:
 
VAH-1, by ChampionVA56
VAH-3, also by Champ
VAH-13, based on Champ's, by me, with all new decals and markings (all markings are decals)
 
Decal Randomization for all skins is set to TRUE. New hangar and loading screens are included (yes, I know the artwork loading screen is the early -1 version, but it's an R.G Smith, Offical Douglas Aircraft ™ litho ... so there ya go!)
 
The base skin for VAH-13, being "clean" can be used for many other units by simply creating new squadon codes and tail markings. 23 600 series modex decals are included (601-624). Serial/Bu numbers should be considered 'generic' in nature, but are 100% accurate for the model depicted.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included.
 
Please read them! Also, the "Notes" section is requied reading, as well. Seriously; READ the Notes ... it contains vital comments and requests. I've done everything I can ... now it's up to someone else.
 
Following DAT policy, all their documentation is included. But NOT the aircraft LOD. Just so's you know for sure.

F-104G Starfighter, Generic SEA/NATO 3-Tone skin, (1024x1024)
 
For SF2, Any & All (Full-4 Merged Prefered)
 
Note: usable in any SF2 install with access to the F-104G
 
This is 'medium rez' skin for the stock F-104G; I call these "medium rez", as it's only 1024 x 1024. There is no partucular nation attached to this skin; it's "Generic" (however, certain contries may have had different placards - these, again, are generic in nature).
 
This is a "clean" skin, with no painted on markings, using all stock in-game markings (decals) - the decals ini will use whichever you choose (excepting USAF). This will allow skinners/decalers more latitude in creating country-specific squadron markings and such. The skin has a default start date of 1970; you can adjust as needed (again, a generic date of 1973 might be more accurate).
 
Included also are updated data and loadout inis, with "Nation & Year Specific" mission profile loadouts (in particular Marineflieger anti-ship). Updated version of the AS-30 and Kormoran 1 missile are included, for MFG usage.
*Note: the only thing NOT added is the Orpheus recon pod for KLU usage*
 
As expected, the canopy operates with the Shift/0 key.
Since the skin mapping hasn't changed since SFP1, this skin should (may) also be usable in 1stGen game installs that have the F-104G accessable. This, however, has NOT been tested.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!!

F-4E (78) USAF Indiana Air National Guard Skin and Decal Pak
 
= For SF2 (Full-4 Merged Reccomended)
 
*Note: can be used in any install with access to the F-4E_78*
 
Slight modifications to a 1stGen skin pak done by Joe "DrDoyo" Royal in 2007, to bring it to SF2. This is my way of saying "Thank You". And remembering and honoring one of our own.
 
This skin is the "Egypt1" 2-tone gray camo from his 3-skin pak. I chose this one, as more aircraft (according to his notes) were in this pattern than the others.
 
The skin has had some very small tweeks, to fill in some bits, and is renamed to fit the _78 model Phantom. I made the assumption (oh! that word!) these would have been the variant he worked on in the Indiana ANG. If I'm wrong, my extensive apologies! With a simple rename of the skin bmps, it can be used for any/all F-4E variants.
 
All decals were done by DrDoyo, and reflect 100% accuracy for the aircraft depicted.
Randomization is set the "TRUE" for the 25 tail numbers (it might even work!).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! DrDoyo's original readme is included, as it has nice personal historical notes. Any mistakes/errors are all mine.
 
Happy Landings!!

F-100D (68) USAF Air National Guard Skin and Decal Pak
= For SF2 (Full-4 Merged Reccomended)
 
*Note: can be used in any install with access to the F-100D_68*
 
This package contains skins and decals to recreate USAF ANG F-100D squadrons as seen/used in the 1971-79 timeframe. This is the basic reason for choosing the "68" model Hun; even though many of the units used Cs, Ds and Fs all at the same time. I choose the late-model as it's just a tad more sophisticated (RWR). With very slight editing (ie: skin bmp renaming), these should work on all model Huns (including the C -but this has NOT been tested), excepting perhaps the F-100A and it's variant.
 
Some units have tail codes, while other do not. This refelcts Real Life ™. This pak contains 8 skins, with decals for the following units:
 
Arkansas ANG 184th TFS, 188th TFG
Arizona ANG 152nd TFS, 162nd TFG
Connecticut ANG 118th TFS, 104th TFG (CT)
Indiania ANG 163rd TFS, 122 TFG
Louisiana ANG 122th TFS, 159th TFG
Massachusetts ANG 101st TFS, 102 TFG (MA)
Michigan ANG 107th TFS, 127th TFG (MI)
Ohio ANG 112th TFS, 180th TFG (XP)
 
The tail badge decals were originally created by Dave (USAFMTL) for SF/Wo*, and have been slightly modified by me for use here in SF2. When/where necessary, seperate Tail Code lettering was added. Serial numbers & insignia are all stock-ingame items, except as noted. Randomization is set the "TRUE" for the serial numbers.

*Note: can be used in any install with access to the F-4D_78*
 
Slight modifications to a 1stGen skin pak done by "Chris" in 2005, brings it to SF2.
 
This skin represents the 178th FIS, 119th FIG North Dakota Air National Guard, aks "The Happy Hooligans". All decals used herein are from this original pak. The skins are stock, with a new-made _5.bmp to add the painted on fin stripe
 
Other mods included are the data and userlist inis, with corrected 'end-of-service-dates', as many ANG units seem to have used the D until the early 1990s. Also, the canopy has been activated via the usual manual animation key (shift/0). Couldn't pass that one up!
 
For grins and giggles, jpg copies of the skin maps are included .. in case someone wants to save HD space.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! The original 2005 readme is included. Any mistakes/errors are all mine.
 
Happy Landings!!

ps: having placed their home base on the terrain I working on, couldn't resist having more Hooligans!

VA-83 A-4B Skyhawk Skin/Decal Pak
= For SF2 (Any and All, Full-4 Merged Prefered) =
 
*Can be used in any install that has access to the A-4B*
 
This skin pack reproduces A-4B Skyhawks of VA-83 "Rampagers" circa 1958, as seen aboard USS Essex (CVA-9) as part of ATG-201, during the Beirut Crisis of that timeframe, supporting the US Marines during the intervention.
 
All new decals, 100% historcally correct for the serial (Bureau) numbers for those -B Scooters used by VA-83 during this time period. I was unable to match Modex to BuNum, but that's a small thing
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....

A-4C Skyhawk VA-76 Sprits Skin Pak
 
-- For SF2, Any and All that have the A-4C Accessable --
 
This skin/decal represents VA-76 Spirits as seen in 1962/63 when based USS ENTERPRISE (CVAN-65) during her Med Cruise and during the Cuban Missile Crisis quarantine as part of CVG-6. All new decals (plus one "borrowed" stock one and editated to suit) have been created for the various markings and such.
 
Other mods include tweeked data and loadout inis. The loadout ini changes the STRIKE loadout to use a TER with 2 Mk82s each (I Like a little more striking power); if you don't want to carry 4 Mk 82 bombs, just delete the loadout ini, and it'll revert back to stock. Or, you can re-edit, remove the RackType reference, and replace with 2 1000 pound Mk.83s. Your choice!. Data ini changes include activating the canopy via a manual animation key (use Shift/0 to open and close), and the addition of the landing light.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop).

EF-4C 'Phantom' WW IV 81st TFS Skin Pak


 
 

-- For FULL-4 Merged SF2 (Prefered) and/or SF2:V/SF2:E =ONLY!!!=


 
(it can acutally be used in any SF2 install that has the access to the F-4C_67)
 
This is to fill a request presented to me by daddyairplanes, to add a new skin for the 81st TFS, 52nd TFW, USAFE, based at Spangdahlem AFB from 1973-79ish, where they were the only SEAD-dedicated squadron in theatre. The EF-4Cs were replaced by F-4G WW Vs, which were in turn replaced by F-16CJs. Even though the 81st now flys Hogs, but, ya get the picture! <grin>
 
It is designed to add to the "sf2 EF-4C Update Pak" released recently. You can find the update pak at CombatAce, at the following URL:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/11630-ef-4c-phantom-wild-weasel-iv-for-sf2/
 
It should be noted, that =THIS= skin is for a European based squadron, so if installilng into a stand-alone SF2:E -make double damn sure you have the F-4C_67 avialabile on you planes list!!!!! (Merged installs, and those users that have run the SF2E.exe to create a SF2E mods folder should have the aircraft already) When in doubt about mods folders, consult the CA Knowledge Base.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop).

F-4E (86) Phantom II Skin Set - 45th TFW "The Warbirds"


 

-- For SF2 (any/all) --


 
This skin/decal set is designed for use =ONLY= on the TMF F-4E ARN-101, as this
is the proper airframe for the time period depicted. You can find/download the
aircraft at the following URL:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/9268-mirage-factory-f-4e-phantom-arn-101-for-sf2
 
-series/
 
You MUST install this aircraft first, before applying this skinpak.
 
This is a fictional skin, representing the 45th TFW's 3 squadrons, as seen in the
Richard Herman novel "The Warbirds". The novel tells the story of a fictional
Persian Gulf war, wherein the 45th are (basically) the only US Air Power ™ in
the region. I won't go into the storyline, but since it all revolves around a
Phantom unit (the book says it's the last USAF Phantom unit, btw), and EVERYONE
love Phantoms ... it's a no brainer, eh?
 
The 3 Squadrons of the Wing are represented. They are:
 
377th TFS
378th TFS
379th TFS
 
They carry the tail badges as when assigned to RAF Stonewood. After much
discussion with the Resident Experts ™, it was decieded that the 45th's
deployment to Ras Assanya was just that -a deployment-, and they would still
carry the codes from their parent unit or base. Each squdron also has it's own
tailfin color flash.
 
A slightly modified Loadout ini is included, with some weapons changes (back to
Iron Bombs ™ ). In reality, these late-model aircraft were used more on PGM
delivery (ie: laser guided bombs) than 'dumb-bombs'. The Dumb Bombs fit more with
the descriptions in the book.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package
has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT
easier to install (read: drag and drop).
Don't forget to read the "Notes & Other Nonsense" for various and sundry
ramblings of a madman, and Full Credits.

F-15E Strike Eagle, 492nd TFS 48th FW, Lakenheath
=For SF2, Any and All (may even work in 1stGens)
 
A simple repaint of the original decals create the 'blue' stipe tail markings for the 492nd of the 48th FW.
 
This'll add another squadron for use however you see fit.
 
While designed with the plane-jane Mud Hun in mind, these can also be used on the F-15E_04 with little or no editing (just let the decals ini work as it's designed)
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!!

AT-6B Texan COIN, Iraqi AF
=For SF2, Any and All (but Full-4 Merged Prefered/Reccomended)
 
A new skin and decals, some data, loadout and weapons mods for Dels and FastCargo's AT-6B Texan COIN version. The aircraft is available here:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/9849-at-6b-for-sf2-version-15/
 
This mod is designed to be applied =OVER= the existing AT-6B in your game(s) install.
This is NOT the full aircraft; just a package of inis, the new skin and decals.
 
The new skin is for the reformed Iraqi Air Force, circa 2010 and later, with some Real Life ™ and extrapolated serial numbers in the new style, along with the new fin flash/national insignia (locations are educated guesswork based upon other aircraft's placement). Data ini edits are very small; mostly to reset the cockpit position to remove the 'double cockpit'. Everything else is pretty much the same.
 
A new weapon, the FIM-92 Stinger for self-defense has been created, so as not to conflict with those used on the MANPADS versions (this had been an issue). The avionics ini has been updated to use the generic "RWR.lst" by dtmdragon.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!!
 
Important: it should be noted here, that the userlist supplied covers operators of =BOTH= the T-6 trainer and AT-6 COIN. It should also be noted, that I've made the assumption (oh! that word!!) of the T-6 and the AT-6 being interchangable for Iraqi use for training and 'internal security'.
 
Happy Landings!
