F-94B "Starfire" Generic USAF Skin for SF, WoV & WoE
 
A "plain old garden variety" natural metal skin for Pasko's F-94B 'Starfire'. I created it from new templates, based on both the F-80 and F-94 skins (there are several identical bmps between them). It represents no actual squadron, but is closest to the 68th FIS. Hence, the generic "USAF" tagline.
This would be a usefull skin for a Korean-era aircraft, or for any time frame in the early 1950s.
New serial and buzz number decals were created as well, which are based off aircraft serial numbers. The numbers are all actual serials and buzz nums, as issued by the USAF
 
New damage tga's are provided, for that 'shot up bullet holes' look, if you let the enemy get close enough to shoot you!
A new Loading Screen is also provided. It's a nice color picture I found on the net
 
PLEASE read the enclose readme for full install instructions and general nonsense. :yes:
 
Enjoy!

F-80 Shooting Star, 416th FG, circa post-1947 Skin for SF, WoV & WoE
 
This is a re-vamp of my WW2: 46 PTO P-80 skin into something closer to the post-USAF formation time frame (ie: after October 1947)
 
This is skin represents aircraft from the 416th FG, the first operational unit to field the Lockheed 'Shooting Star' (albeit the A model, not the C we have - but, what the hay, it works!!). In saying 'revamped', means that I created new templates from the original skin that came with the aircraft upon it's release some years ago, so all glory for the original goes the original skinner.
There are redrawn panel and rivet lines, following the originals.
 
I've tried to recreate the aircraft nose arts as close as possible to those used by the 416th, and if you have the WW2: 46 PTO version, you'll probably recognize some of them. There ARE historically correct ones; 6 or 7 I think, but for the most part some of the others are just there because I hate to waste good decals ;)
 
I've also created the "buzz numbers" so prevelant in the post-war period, and into the Korea War, so this skin set will fit nicely into a "Cold War Gone Hot: 1948" scenario, or even a Korean War one.
 
BE ADVISED -- there may be nudity in some of the nose art decals, which is surely against post-war regs ... If you find beautiful, scantily clad women offensive; see a doctor quickly, as there's probably something very, very wrong with you!!! (excepting our female flyers, of course -- sorry, no beefcake for you! Well, actually, just one)
 
PLEASE!!! read the enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions - the notes included will make it much easier for you to get this up and running.
 
Happy Landings!

F-94B "Starfire" 449th FIS Skin, Decal & Ini Updates for SF, WoV & WoE
 
Hello Fellow Fliers!!
 
This little package will update the original skin for the 449th FIS, by adding new individual aircraft serial and buzz numbers for 26 aircraft. There are also 2 replacement skin bmps, as I had to repaint them to remove the painted on lettering.
It is designed to =replace= the existing skin, with the addition of the new decals. Some of the original decals are reused, and therefore are NOT included. See below in the "TO INSTALL" section for full instructions.
 
This will give you a nice skin, with the Arctic Red trim for those especially cold climates...such as found in Alaska or NW America. --- and let me tell, ya it really looks good against the snowy backgrounds!!!
Historical accuracy is ONLY claimed on the first 4 serial & buzz numbers, as they were the only ones I had photos of.
 
Also included is an updated data ini and the cockpit ini that will allow you to use the F-86D cockpit in your Starfire. The cockpit itself is NOT included, you'll have to copy over the cockpit folder from your Sabre-Dog. All inis and a few usefull bmps are provided, to make the switch over as easy as possible. This is Lexx_Luthor's fix, and all credit goes to him
 
PLEASE!!!! read the enclosed readme for full, detailed, step-by-step instructions, and listing of credits.

Excepting the aircraft itself -- you should already have that!!! ;) Basically, this is a rebuild of the ENTIRE weapons system for this aircraft,
 
-- Please Note: this skin is designed to replace the skin folder marked "1D" in your original F-89D install --
 
All the skin bmps have been repainted, using new templates created by me, based off Volk's original skins. I've duplicated his original work, so all credit goes to him for skin creation...I've basically just redone them to make use of the new panel, rivet lines and new decals created by me for the serial and buzz numbers
 
Modified main, data, cockpit, avionics and loadout inis are included. These reflect changes to operational uses as seen in the "Weapons Fixes and Loadouts" thread I maintain at CombatAce.
 
The weapons have been completly revamped, using a trick found by Lexx_Luthor over at the 3rd Wire boards, concerning multiple FFAR installations.
 
NEW damage tgas are also supplied -- what? you think those Commie gunners are going to sit there and let you blow them full of holes????
Brand new, and available in this mod only -- Hangar and Loading screens!!
 
You -WILL- be using the Weapons Editor to add the new FFAR rockets...make sure you have the latest version, the one that came in the 6/06 Weapons Pak.

F-89D "Scoprion", 64th FIS skin for SF/WoV/WoE
 
Forgot I'd finished this, and forgot to upload....
 
Just another skin for Monty's F-89D Scorpion. This represents the 64th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, approximately 1956, when based at Elemendorf, AK.
The squadron leader, Capt. Arthur Bourque, has his aircraft carrying the nose art that was carried on his P-61 'Black Widow' during WW2.
100% accuracy is NOT claimed on the serial numbers (excepting Capt Bourque's aircraft), but they are actual production numbers as used on D Scoprions. Some might even be the right ones!!!
 
Simple install instructions are in the enclosed readme.txt.
 
Happy Landings!

F-89C Scorpion 57th FIS Skin and Ini Update Pak for SF, WoV & WoE
 
This little package will give you an revamped skin, based off Volksjager's original, with -yet again!- some updated inis. (sorry about that...see "Other Notes" below for more details)
 
-- Please Note: this skin is designed to replace the skin folder marked "1" in your original install --
 
All the skin bmps have been repainted (from new templates created by me from the original bmps), new decals have been added for the serial, 'buzz', and individual aircraft numbers for 25 birds. This skin represents aircraft from the 74th FIS, 23rd FIW, as deployed as part of the Alaska Air Command, during the mid-1950s. I've even added the wingwalks I forgot before, some staining, and various stenciling around the aircraft
 
Newly updated data and loadout inis are included. These reflect changes to the unguided HVAR rockets, of which you'll be getting a new one (similiar to what I recently did for the MiG-17PF, PF(SP-16) and F-89D). So, be prepared to use the weapons editor, yet again!!!
 
This is the last of the original skins to be updated. We can now move on to other things!

Mod of original 3rd Wire O-1 to earlier 1950s era L-19 Birddog. Includes all inis, and an OD Green skin. Imported/modified cockpit from P-39.

Modification of Wolf's F4U-1A into the -1D; adds necessary hardpoints and weapons loads. New skin for VBF-10 off USS Intrepid, during the Okinawa campaign. Dressed up insturment panel, and an extra 'fun' one too!

Ki-43IIb Hayabusa "Oscar" For SF/WoV/WoE WW2: PTO installs
 
This is a modification of Wolf257's Ki-43 into the later version, the IIb as used by the IJAAF.
 
This is a semi- complete aircraft mod, creating a new version for use in your World War 2: PTO installs ONLY!!
 
I say 'semi-complete', because pursuant to Wolf's wishes, the aircraft LOD file is NOT included (you'll have to transfer it over from the exisiting Ki-43 --make sure it's Wolf's Ki-43, NOT ArmourDaves!!. Almost everything else is included; all the inis, an new skin, hangar screen and my damage tgas as well. The cockpit itself is NOT included, as you'll be using the one from AD's A6M5 Zero.
 
The skin represents 204 Sentai, in the Home Defense role circa 1944-to the end of the war. I've redrawn all the panel lines, added my 'interperative' rivet lines (meaning no claims to accuracy are made!), simulated fabric control surfaces and dirtied it up some. As this is a natural metal skin, it has no worn-off green camo. Individual aircraft numbers are 'best guess' based on a few profiles. Therefore, no accuracy is claimed for those as well.
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for fully detailed, step-by-step install instructions, plus commentaries and general explanitory notes.
