F-100D, Air Pirate


 

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


(Can be used in any SF2 install that has the access to the F-100D)
 
A "just for fun" mod . . .
 
This package represents aircraft from the fictional Post-WWIII world of the novel series "The Wingman", by Mack Maloney.
These are F-100D SuperSabres as flown by either Air Pirates, or a Freelancer ('guns for hire/Mercenaries').
 
This package comes with 2 skin sets:
 
"The Stukas" infamous Air/Ground Pirate gang that operated in Westen New Jersey, parts of New York, eastern Pennsylvania, parts of Ohio and that general region.
 
A Plane-Jane natural metal for generic usage.
 
This mod creates a new, stand-alone aircraft (not exported, with no other user). It is best used in a stand-alone mods folder that is based on the post-WW3 world of "The Wingman". Although, it may fit into the 'alternate' world of the Global Sedition vs the North American Alliance. (as do many of my terrain mods)
 
Loadouts have been adjusted to reflect the 'lack' of sophisticated weapons in the Post-WW3 world (especially for the 'Bad Guys'), and include a 'nation-specific' AirPirate AIM-9B. The canopy has been set to use a manual animation key. Use Shift/0 to open and close it.
 
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).
Again, as usual, the expected "Notes & Ramblings of a Mad(Wing)man" section for fun.

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.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!!
 
Happy Landings!!

This is just a littly quicky fix to create a generic Recon Pod for all the different Starfighters out there. It's alwyas bugged me we didn't have anything, and all the Zipper call for one in their loadout inis.
The shape is pretty generic, too. Rather bullet like, as it's based off the BLU-27 napalm canister. Since we don't actually have a proper shape, especially for the Canadian Vikon pod, this will have to suffice until a 3d modeler steps up and creates a real one.
 
I'm pretty sure I've got everybody covered, end user wise. You'll note the fairly complete listing of countries in the Attachemnt types:
 
USAF, ITALY, W_Germany, Norway, Japan, WP - this is for Pakistani and possibly Jordanian Starfighters - if you've created a country specific version for Jordan. I figgured it couldn't hurt to add it, right?
Dutch and Belgian users (of the Zipper, not players!) shouldn't have any problems loading it.
 
I've also included the layered psd file, in case anyone wants to mess with it. I think I got a pretty good 'sampling' of camera ports; 2 vertical, 2 staggered oblique panoramic. I mean, after all, it don't work anyway; its just for show!
 
Happy Photoing!

F-104 Hangar screen for SF2
 
This is a modification of the stock, SF/Wo* F-104G hangar screen to match the format used in SF2.
 
It's a rather simple addon, but adds just that little 'something' for you to look at whilst in the Hangar.
 
These screens can also be used on the CF-104, CF-104_72 and CF-104_76.

F-104A Starfighter, Royal Jordanian Air Force, for SF/WoV/WoE/WoI
 
This is a mod of Ajundair's F-104A to those as used by the RJAF.
 
This is a complete aircraft, all inclusive with all the little various and sundry bits needed to just unzip and fly away. It is designed for use with NO weapons pak, =or= The Mirage Factory Weapons Pak, as the drop tanks are "stock items" in the SF, WoV, WoE, and WoI objects.cat. The Bunyap Weapons Pak can also be used; it really makes no difference who's or which one!
HOWEVER -- I've included a nation-specific version of the AIM-9B "Sidwinder", set for only RJAF usage. Using the new 'station specific' mounting, you shouldn't run into any problems with it showing up on other aircraft uwanted. Just for fun, I've included that hack-job Recon Pod I did last year for the European Zippers. Full, detailed instructions on adding them to are included below. So, get your weapons editor warmed up!
 
The skin is the stock natural metal, as seen on the Pakistani F-104A (in fact, it IS the same skin bmps!) All I've really done is just create a 'nation-specific' version, using ALL stock decals for markings. I have also included the A-Z letter decals seen in some photos I found while researching this. New Arabic serial numbers (900-925) and also included. All in all, I can take NO credit for the skin, just for those few decals I've supplied.
 
Loadouts have been adjusted to reflect the 'newish' style of weapons mounting. The data ini is as orignally issued when the aircraft first was released. It may need some FM adjustments, but that's above my pay-grade :)
 
A new WoI hangar screen, based off the WoE-style is included. As is the WoE one, for those wishing to install into SF/WoE/WoV, etc.
 
While designed with WoI in mind, it is perfectaly usable in any of the other 3W sims
 
As usual, PLEASE read the enclosed readme file; installations is pretty simple (for once!), as is adding the weapons.
 
Happy Landings!

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.

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.

Replacement Euro Green 170 gallon F-104G wing-tip drop tanks.
 
This little package is designed to eliminate the 'upside/sideways/backwards/or whatever is wrong with the "Tank_F104G" that we've all been experiencing.
 
Using a repainted bmp, and the stock 3rd Wire 104G tank lods, this should correct the problem of having the fins pointed in the right direction
The only problem that still exists, is that I haven't been able to quite figure out the bmp mapping to have the '2 tone', euro green upper and neutral gray unders. To that end, I've enclosed a PhotoShop psd template, that I created, so someone with a little more skill at that can finish it perfectly.
 
This will update the latest Weapons Pak, circa 6/2006
 
These tanks can be used on BOTH the stock 3rd Wire F-104G, and the one build by Ajundair. Designed for use with German, Italian or Dutch Euro camo schemes.
 
Full, detailed instructions in the enclosed readme -- PLEASE read and follow them, as you'll be using the weapons editor.

F-104G Starfighter, Hellenic Air Force Mod
 
A Stand-Alone aircraft for SF/WoV/WoE/WoI
 
This is a compliation of several people's work, placed into an easy to install (and use) package. It is a full aircraft, complete with all the inis, lods, cockpit, 2 skins and various and sundry bits thrown in for good measue. (See Notes section below)
 
Basically, what I did was take Ajundair's F-104G, and created a 'nationalized' version for the Greek Air Force. I added Dave's (ex-USAFMTL) SEA-style camo skin, a full cockpit, the necessary decals, and viola! We have a new airplane. I also re-did the Natural Metal skin completely, as the panel and rivet lines were far too dark.
 
Included are Euro-green camo tanks, from my Fix Pak for the stock 3rdWire unit, for those inclined to add them. However, I left the data and loadout inis pointing to the stock silver tanks, as while doing research, about half of the pictures showed even the camo aircraft using them.
 
It is set up to use either of the weapons paks; the Bunyap Pak or Mirage Factory, or even NONE at all!!! As it is a complete aircraft, it should also be usable in WoI, although this particular aircaft has not been tested as such -- BE ADVISED, that WoI handles flight models differently, and I (and the folks that originaly built this) cannot be responsible for "adverse handling conditions, leading to uncontroled flight into terrain". Be that as it may, it should work passably!
 
See the enclose readme for more, pretty simple instructions, and the usual Notes/Commentary/General Noise stuff.
 
Happy Landings!!

F-104G, Air Pirate



-- For FULL-4 Merged SF2 (Prefered) and/or SF2:E =ONLY!!!=
 
(it can acutally be used in any SF2 install that has the access to the F-104G)


 
A "just for fun" mod . . .
 
This package represents aircraft from the fictional Post-WWIII world of the novel series "The Wingman", by Mack Maloney.
These are F-104G Starfighters as flown by either Air Pirate, or a Freelancer ('guns for hire').
 
This package comes with a single skin set; A Garish Red/Yellow, as described in the first book. Those wishing other skins are advised to extract the USAFSilver1 and drop it into the main skin folder. Other, more "unusual" skins may be forthcoming. Depends on End User ™ demand, and my free time. Other than the 'pirate' badges, there are no other markings.
 
This mod creates a new, stand-alone aircraft (not exported, with no other user). It is best used in a stand-alone mods folder that is based on the post-WW3 world of "The Wingman". Although, it may fit into the 'alternate' world of the Global Sedition vs the North American Alliance. (as do many of my terrain mods)
 
This is a COMPLETE aircraft package, including the Zipper's cockpit and the hi-rez repaint by Batman1978; all is ready to just unzip, install and fly. The avionics ini has been modified to give you an 'audio-only' RWR.
 
Loadouts have been adjusted to reflect the 'lack' of sophisticated weapons in the Post-WW3 world (especially for the 'Bad Guys'), and include a 'nation-specific' AirPirate AIM-9B. The canopy has been set to use a manual animation key. Use Shift/0 to open and close it.

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-104G Starfighter, ROCAF Skin & Decal Pak


 
 
A rebadging of the stock F-104G Starfighter to those as used by the Republic of China (aka: Taiwan) from the mid-1960s until their retirment in the late 1990s.
 
As such, it should be considered as a 'generic' skin; although the serials and ID numbers are accurate, it represents no particular unit. The serials and ID numbers represent the first 40ish 104Gs the ROCAF acquired.
 
Although built and designed for use in SF2 series sims, it's easily backdated for use on SF/Wo* 1st Gens as well. I've even included a SF/Wo* series type Decals ini, ready for use.
For SF2 users, a modified F-104G_UserList.ini is included, with corrected service dates for Taiwan.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions. I've tried to make it as simple and easy as possible.
 
A perfect addition to Gepards' Formosa Terrain!

F-104JS "Super Starfighter" (what If...) by Wrench    1/10/2023
-- For SF2, Full 5 Merged REQUIRED --
*** Please note: your game's mod folder/install MUST have access to the stock 3rd Wire F-104G Starfighter to make use of the mod ***
This is a modification of the stock F-104G into a "What If..." F-104Js Super Starfighter of the Japan Air Self Defense Force. The mod is supplied with 2 skins:
Blue Camoflague (1982 - 1990)
Air Superiority Grey (1990 - 2004)
These skins represent aircraft from the 207th Hikotai, and carry it's tail badge. The SF2 date switch is active, and will change accordingly.
Skins remain in bmp format. All new "accurate" decals have been created for 24 aircraft (see Notes for more info on JASDF serial numbers). All markings are decals and decal randomization is TRUE. All weapons used are stock in-game items, excepting the "F104S pylon set". This has been edited to not conflict with the AMI or Turkish F-104S series. All items have been included (cockpit, avionics displays, etc) for ease of installation.

A Small Modification of Jet-Zs excellent Italian Air Force F-104S-ASA
 
This is a modification of, like it says in the title, of the F-104S-ASA in the final, pen-ultimate Super Starfighter as used by the Italian Air Force.
It is based on JetZ's work, along with Crab_02 3d modeling to create the weapons pylons and a few other niceties that were needed. In fact, very little of the original data ini has been changed, other than updating the weapons types, and service years, and cockpit tweeks by me. All the rest, is still their work.
 
This mod/upgrade/tweek package makes use of several items from the stock games...it is MOST important you have the original 3rd Wire stock issue of the F-104G. Many of it's components are used. --PLEASE NOTE: this is not to be used with any of the Starfighters built and released by Ajundair; it is for the stock 3rd Wire 104G -ONLY-!!!!
 
== THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE AIRCRAFT - YOU WILL NEED THE STOCK 3RD WIRE F-104G TO MAKE USE OF THIS MOD ==
 
You MUST have the latest weapons pak installed to make use of the pylons/ventral strake kit necessary for your missiles and other neat things!!!
 
1) Most important, you'll need to have the stock 3rd Wire F-104G Starfighter, as this is the airframe base. If you don't have it already in game (ie: for WoV*), you can get it at CombatAce or from 3rd Wire's downloads section.
 
*It should be noted, that in fully patched up versions of ALL the sims - especially WoV- all the needed lods are already in place inside the object.cat.*
 
2) You'll need JetZ's really cool "ITLowVis" skin, availabe at his site:
 
http://www.12packproductions.com/JetZ/index.html
 
If you're a Zipper-head, he's got some SUPERB skins there for the 104. I'd also reccomend getting his F-104S, and 104S-ASA, not only to round out the set, but they're nice additions. And the original basis of this work. The lo-vis skin is part of the 104S/S-ASA package, so you might as well get it all, don't ya think????
 
There are further, fully detailed instructions in the read on how to create the full aircraft -- PLEASE read them!!!
 
Credits: all credit goes to JetZ and Crab_02 for creating the S and S-ASA version of the Zipper,
TK for giving us the F-104 in the first place, and WoE (where I got the cockpit parts)
I can only take credit for some ini editing, that gives us this last operational, full interceptor version of the Starfighter.

These are F-105D Thunderchiefs, as flown from the Free Territory/Trade Zone know as 'The Aerodrome', based at what used to be Syracuse, New York, as owned/operated by Mike Fitzgerald.
 
This package comes with 2 skin sets; one Natural Metal for the 'deconstruction era', after WW3 and during the time The Aerodrome was established and Fitz began building up business (so to speak), and a 3-tone camo, most likely used during The Circle War and and beyond.
All are based of stock 3W items. New decals are supplied with Fitz's trademark "Shamrock"
 
This mod creates a new, stand-alone aircraft (not exported, with no other user). It is best used in a stand-alone mods folder that is based on the post-WW3 world of "The Wingman". Although, it may fit into the 'alternate' world of the Global Sedition vs the North American Alliance. (as do many of my terrain mods)
 
Loadouts have been adjusted to reflect the ADF role in air convoy escort and so forth. The canopy has been set to use a manual animation key. Use Shift/0 to open and close it.

And many others.
 
The pak is to be applied DIRECTLY over the orignal download, availble at the following URL:

F-110A "Wraith" Mod Pak for SF/WoV/WoE
 
A "What If..." Cold War Aircraft
 
First of all, I have to extend a great deal of thanks to BadFrank from the CombatAce message boards, as this entire thing was his idea!! He's also the person that found the mesh names for the rear canopy for me to get the decal on (it's also his decal, I just repainted it).
 
What we have here is a mod of the F-4B creating a single-seat version of the Phantom. This version is designed for US Air Force use, as a long-range missile armed interceptor, along the lines of the F-102, F-106 and even it's older brother, the F-101A Voodoo. This aircraft has NO air-to-ground capabilities, in keeping with it's role as a continential air defense interceptor.
A gun pod (SUU-16) can be loaded as they become available (later service year dates)
 
All items used, excepting the new weapons, are stock 3rd Wire, and are readily available in each of the varying versions of the game. It makes use of stock, albeit renamed skin files, some of which have been repainted by me. I've included them in the package, as it's easier than having the end user transfer and rename files. And again, as they're all stock items, they exist in all versions of the game. As should all the serial decals as well.
 
You'll be adding a couple of new 'weapons', a modified Scooter hump and a rebuild of my 'hack job' F-104 Recon Pod, now modified/renamed/tweeked for use on the Phantom.
 
Full, detailed instrustions on all facets of installation are in the enclosed readme, along with full credits for folks who helped out. -- so PLEASE read the cursed thing!!! It'll make your life easier, I promise you!

Grumman F-11F-1 Tiger
 
-- For SF2, Any and All --
 
This is an upgrade package of the F-11F by Fleet Defender & Co (originally released in 2005). All the skins and decals have been updated, with many new ones created. Ini edits fix the overbright landing light; other tweeks add new AI sections, place weapons more centered on the pylons, round count corrected, and some other minor adjustments. A new avionics ini is included, that adds the radar ranging gunsight. The cockpit used is the stock A-4B Skyhawk, which is available in all versions of SF2, excepting stand-alone SF2:I mods folders. Merged installs should have no issues whatsomever. The lead-computing gunsight statements have also been added.
 
4 skins and decals are included in this pak (all that I could find!). They are:
 
VA-156 (which became VF-111 in 1959)
VF-21
VF-33
VF-111
 
Skins are by various artists, hopefully listed (correctly!) in the Credits below. Several of the skins were repainted, from a partial template I created, to remove the painted on Modex numbers. These are now all decals.
 
Weapons included are just the 150 gallon drop tank; all others use stock in-game items.
I've added several Mission profiles that I'm sure the actual aircraft did NOT perform (Strike, CAS, Armed Recon, and Anti-Ship). They're there for the playability factor. If you don't want to perform them, just edit them out of the data ini.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install. Also, as usual, the expected 'Notes and Other Nonesense' comments by me.
A full credits listing of those that worked on it, or contributed parts are below, and in the original release readme included.

*Note: at minimum, you =MUST= have SF2:I, as this mod references the cockpit, aircraft and other required items =ONLY= found within a Full-4 or SF2:I. If you don't meet these minimium criteria, don't D/L this, as you wont be able to use it*
 
This package expands on the work of MigBuster and others, and will allow for the creation of a stock 3W F-16A (probably Blks 1-10, although I'm not as 'up' on Falcon block numbers as I should be...).
A complete set of inis are included, fully updated as of Nov, 2011. Newly added is a Userlist.ini, although this may need expansion/clarification of StartYear dates. Changes are welcomed and encourged! -Remember, this is the Early Production A model only!!
 
All new Hangar and Loading screens are included. The canopy operates via a manual animation key (Shift/0, as always).
Other Ini edits remove the internal jammer, and add one to the external centerline position, and other small Loadout modifications. See "Notes" below for more info.
 
It should be noted at this time, that seperate from the main section of this download, are 'fixed' Decal and Textureset inis for MigBuster's F-16A skins. These skins are NOT included. You can find them in the SF2 Aircraft Skins download section (links are supplied in the "To Install" section below). BE ADVISED: install his -first!!-, then add the inis I've supplied. See below for more info on the "MigBuster Skin Fixes" in the "To Install" section.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! Also, don't forget the "Notes" section for expansive esplainations and other illuminations.
 
Happy Landings!

F-16A IIAF/IRIAF Pak


 
 

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


 
This package is an "Almost If..." aircraft, representing F-16A Falcons, had they actually been delivered to the Imperial Iranian Air Force, as orderd during the Shah's reign.
 
It contains 2 skins (actualy the same skin used twice), created from a partial template of the Stock SF2:I F-16A Netz, and decals to replicate the speculative IIAF and Islamic Republic's AF F-16s.
 
You =MUST= have a Full-4 Merged SF2 install, WITH SF2:I (or better yet -a stand along Iran/Iraq mods folder, built FROM a Full-4 Merged exe), otherwise you will NOT be able to access the needed aircraft lod and cockpit files.
 
By making use of the new 'StartDate=' feature in the textureset inis, the aircraft's marking to switch from IIAF to IRIAF, based on the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.
 
The aircraft makes use of all stock, In-Game items for weapons, droptanks and whatnots, simplifying installation and reducing package size. (Of course, you still need the Full-4 Merged Install and/or SF2:I or an Iran/Iraq stand-alone, built from the aforementioned Full4 Merged. Getting the point, yet??)
 
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. An abreviated "Notes and Other Nonsense" section makes for interesting reading, too.
 
Good Hunting!

(yes, this was yet another nearly completed mod I had sitting on my HD ... now, in you'alls hot little hands!)

F-20 Tigershark Skin, Cockpit, and Ini UPgrades Pak for SF2
=For SF2, Any and All (but Full-4 Merged Prefered/Reccomended*)
 
*Note: due to some stock decals used, USAF & RAF, at minimum, you need SF2:E*
 
A bunch of new skins for Veltro2K's recently released Northrup F-20 "Tigershark". This pak will also includes some cockpit and many ini tweeks. This pak is designed to be installed OVER your existing F-20, with several caveats ... so it's important you read the install instruction =BEFORE= applying this pak. As this is an Reskin/Ini Pak, the aircraft lods are not included. A new cockpit, however, is.
 
This mod represents Production variants, had they been made, for the USAF and other Allied Nations. The export customers are based upon those identified by Nothrup as "Tier 1" customers (ie: users with F-5 experience).
A new Userlist is supplied, for those wanted to create/redecal some of the existing skins for those shown in the user list, but not provided here. A new, Generic Hangar screen is included.
 
11 skin/decal sets are included in this pak. The name in paranthesis (name) designates the skin folder name. The skins are:
 
Football City AF (from "The Wingman" book series) (FBCAF)
JASDF,1 Hikotai, in overall Martime blue (JASDF)
ROCAF, 2-tone F-15/16 style grays (ROCAF)
RSAF, in a solid 'Air Superiority' gray (RSAF)
RNZAF, #75 Squadron 'King Kahu', in overall green (RNZAF)
RAF, #92 Squadron, overall gray (RAF)
57th FW, Nellis AFB (Nellis)
152nd FS, 162nd FW, AZANG, in a dark F-16-style gray (AZ)
10th TFS Hahn Germany, in 2-tone F-15 style 'Compass Ghost' grays (Gray2)
"Generic" Dark Air Superiority gray (Gray)
"2 Tone BlueGrays", a repaint/rename of the original release skin (2Tone)
 
These last 2 listed have "Generic" nation callout, and can be rebadged/decaled/reused for the creation of other user-nations of the aircraft; either through selection via the Single Mission/Loadout screen, or via creating entiely new skins. One of the massive advantages of not painting on markings...
All markings on all skins =ARE= decals, making is quite easy to create said other user nations. A great number of new decals were created for this mod, and many borrowed from other skins. A full listing of those are in the Credits section.
New damage textures in DDS format are also included.
 
My Home-Grown Templates ™ are included, for those wishing to create new skins, and/or improve on my basic design (yeah, it could use it! LOL! -cough- RAF Euro camo -cough- various SEA 3-toned -cough-)
 
No weapon are included; they are either stock, from pre-existing mods and/or reference those from the GunnyPak. The drop tanks from the original release are NOT included (as they're kinda sorta stock, too)
The cockpit included herein more than likely has more funcionality than would have been in the production aircraft. The avionics ini also makes use of dtmdragon's complied RWR tweeks/expansion pak ... if you don't have it, you should! Sounds are also not included,
as those from the F-16 paks are referenced here.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! The usual "Notes" section for other interestering details and stuff, explinations, and general musings and things. That section needs to be read, as it explains/offers alternatives as to WHY some of the nation-specific loadouts are NOT
working as they should
 
It is vitaly !!!IMPORTANT!!! that you read this document throughly before installing ...as you will be deleting, renaming and/or moving several files and folders to make full and correct use of this Pak. So, unzip it first to a temp folder or your desktop, or anywhere that allows ease of access to it.
READ IT!!!
 
Good Hunting!!

F-20A/F-20B Tigershark ReMod Pak
 
=For SF2, Any and All (but Full 4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED!!)
 
- A "What If..." Aircraft Mod -
 
*Full 4/5 Merged reccomended, as the RAF skin make use of the stock 3W F-4M serial number and plane-in-group letters. You =MUST= have, at least, SF2:E as part of you game installs. If not, you'll have to find substitute decals for the RAF skins*
 
This is a re-release of Veltro2k's F-20 Tigersharks. This pak contains 2 complete aircraft, the single-seat F-20A and the 2-seat F-20B. Both are fully combat capable, however certain mission tasking is NOT assigned to the F-20B, due to hardpoint limitations, and the lack of an internal ECM suite (no jammer; chaff & flares included at no extra cost).
 
Skin/Decals included in this pack are (names in paranthesis are the actual folder names):
 
F-20A:
2 Tone Blue/Gray (2Tone - nation tagged as 'generic' -would be a good HAF skin!)
Air Superiority Gray (Gray - nation tagged as 'generic')
10th TFS, 50th TFW (Gray2)
1 Hikotai, JASDF Martime Blue (JASDF)
57th FW, Nellis AFB (Nellis)
ROCAF Gray (ROCAF)
92 Sqdn, RAF overall Gray (RAF)
92 Sqdn, RAF Grey Green (RAF1)
92 Sqdn, RAF Grey Green 2 (RAF2) -loviz markings
75 Sqdn RNZAF (RNZAF)
ROCAF Gray -no squadron- (ROCAF)
RSAF - Saudi Arabia (RSAF)
110th FS, 131st FW, MO ANG "Lindberg's Own" (MOANG)
114th FS, 173rd FW OR ANG (ORANG)
119th FW, ND ANG "Happy Hooligans" (NDANG)
159th FIS, FL ANG (FLANG)
Football City Air Force (FBCAF -from "The Wingman" series)
 
F-20B:
57th FW, Nellis AFB (Gray)
56th FW, Luke AFB 2 Tone (USAF)
 
Decal randomization is set to TRUE for all. Skin templates for BOTH aircraft are included, as are several decal templates. Skinners/decalers are ENCOURAGED! to create other users/markings/etc. Damage textures are in DDS format.
Unfortunately, the archived zip file for the original skin/ini mods was corrupted, and I was unable to retreive all the information from it about them.
 
When 'in game', you'll see
 
F-20A TigerShark (v2k)
 
F-20B TigerShark (v2k)
 
displayed on the aircraft selection drop-down window. This will differentiate these aircraft from any other Tigersharks that may exist.
 
No weapons are included, as it references (for the most part) stock items or those from the GunnyPak, or other aircraft mods (in particular, the JASDF EO bomb), but sounds are. The spine antenna & intake "thingy" created by Raven is included, along with the FakePilot needed to "attach" it to the F-20A.
The loadout ini makes use of nation-specific and start-year specific loadouts. Some even actually work as advertised. The included Userlists are correct; the countries listed were those that actually considered the Tigershark at one time.
The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0. The FM remains essentially the same, and REALLY needs MAJOR fine tuning by an Expert! (no, seriously! it can be a bit squirrelly at times)
 
This is a VERY large package (771 MG unzipped), as all the skins remain in their 2048x2048 bmp format (approx 12megs per map!). You can, of course, convert to jpg at your leisure. It's sorta suggested, ya know!?, for those with limited HD space.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, the Legal Statement has been changed with regards to these aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, you need not redownload this pak; you should have everything within it already. But if you want too ... feel free to do so! :). There HAVE been several changes in several of the inis you may wish to examine, and add.
 
**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**.
 
Good Hunting, and Happy Landings!!

ps: the screenies are from the original release, and do not reflect the addition of the ADF blade antenna. Also, not all the included are displayed. The others are inside the zip.

F-20B Tigershark Quickie Skin & Decal UPgrade Pak for SF2
=For SF2, Any and All (but Full-4 Merged Prefered/Reccomended*)
 
*Note: at minimum, you =MUST= have SF2:E, as the decals ini makes references/callout pointers to the stock F-15A serials. If you don't meet these minimium criteria, don't D/L this, as you wont be able to use it*
 
Just a quickie pak with slightly modified skin bmps and decal pointers to use stock in-game decals for Veltro2k's F-20B Tigershark.
You =MUST= have the F-20B to apply this pak to; it's just a skin, a few decals and a couple of inis for said skin and decals.
 
It's a rather generic skin, with tail code markings for the 56th FW, at Luke AFB, Arizona. The "LF" code is a new decal, as are the intake warnings. The rescue tags are borrowed from somewhere I can't remember (an F-104???).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! The usual "Notes" section for other interestering details and stuff, explinations, and general musings and things.
To make it easier, I'd reccomend (highly!) you unzip this archive first, and read the install instructions BEFORE installing, as without following them, you'll have a conflict.
 
*note: this is the correct tail code; the one shown in the "What if..." screenshots thread was not*
 
Happy Landings!
