If you use the read only main ini trick", you'll have to turn that off after adding this skin. See "Installation" for more details. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The skin is a rebadged stock 3W 'silver' (aka NMF). You get 26 serial and "bort" numbers. The numbers are mostly historic in nature. On the Number list ini, any marked with the star (*) have been positively match to each other (bort & serial). The others are best guess, and should be considered generic in nature. When on the Loadout Page, you'll see RMoAF Silver (<1961) As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! Also, the Notes section has more details on the changes. Happy Landings! Wrench Kevin Stein Submitter Wrench Submitted 08/29/2025 Category MiG-17

Basically, Egyptian Nile camo, as used when these aircraft were sent to Egypt in 1973, and how they returned afterwards. but with the correct style serial number decals. If YOU have and use the "read only main ini trick", you'll have to turn that off after adding this skin, even though this does replace the stock one. See "Installation" for more details. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The Serial numbers are historically correct for this type of aircraft (21MF). You'll have 18 of them. However, while all the numbers are correct, they should be considered Generic in nature, as I could not find which squadron each served in. So, I just assigned it to one that was known to operate this model. The skin remain in it's 'as issued' BMP format (3w Rez) When on the Loadout Page, you'll see: 19e Escadron de Combat (Nile Style) This is changed from the original listing on the texture set inis, because of the addition of specific decal randomization text. The actual folder name (QJJCamo1) remains the same. I have included a modified data and loadout ini. The data ini gives the aircraft some "hardening" (via aluminum armor), and the loadout ini adds the drop tank for all missions. I've also included a new pilot figure, "RedAir1". The canopy is also activated, it uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). What I have NOT given you, are the bits and bobs necessary to make it Player Flyable (tm). If you haven't done this, you'll have to root around for the needed cockpit in the CA downloads; it's not very hard to find. However, I have given you repainted gunsight TGAs. They're in a very bright yellow, so as to make it easier to see for us Old Folks (tm).

You all are forgetting that I've been here in SF since Day 2, and I've pretty much seen it all. I'm one of the Last of the Originals still around. By 2006 TK had done whatever was necessary, as Pasko had released the first HAWKs and Chapparals*. All the Blue SAMs work for me, so I don't know why the OP is having issues. Don't matter if it's a HAWk Nike, Rapier, Bloodhound. It could be how they're set up on the terrain. You CANNOT call them directly in the _targets ini. You have to use generic tags. *it's actually set as Mobil_AAA

That's because the game was never really designed from it's beginning to support Blue SAMs. Don't you think TK would have added them from 2003 onward?? (I'm not including shipboard SAMs, as that's an NA add on, and does have slightly different coding)

See "Installation" for more details. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The two sets of Serial numbers are historically correct (ish). You'll have 24 for the NMF, and 18 for the Camo. However, while all the numbers are correct, they should be considered Generic in nature, as I could not find which squadron each served in. Any marked with the cross (or plus sign +) are conjectural, as I could not find any reference to them. The Post 1968 (Camo) skin uses the "FG-**" style. Both skins remain in their 'as issued' BMP format (3w Rez) When on the Loadout Page, you'll see Algerian Silver (1964) Algerian Camo (<1968) This is NOT changed from the original listing on the texture set inis, with the exception of adding specific decal randomization text, and the year tags.

One of my most favorite things to do in the entire Universe ..... Since there's no template for the Bis B, have to make one. Simply because I don't like the brown/green camo as used by Syria for Algeria (which apparently used 2 tones of brown). Noted from several photos found the the web. Just LOVE drawing thousands of rivets ---- At least the serials will be right ....

View File SF2 MiG-21F-13 Algerian Air Force Skin Pack SF2 MiG-21F-13 Algerian Air Force Skin Pack 8/22/2025 -For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended) This is a new(ish) skin for the stock 3W MiG-21F-13 "Fishbed-C", as used by the Algerian Air Force from 1965 thru the early 1980s. This skin is named the same as the stock "QJJSilver1", but replaces it with all new correct serial number decals. I've =not= included any of the bits to make it flyable, but if you have, and use the "read only main ini trick", you'll have to turn that off after adding this skin, even though this does replace the stock one. See "Installation" for more details. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All 24 Serial numbers are 100% historically correct. However, while all the numbers are correct, they should be considered Generic in nature, as I could not find which squadron each served in. So, I've assigned them to a QJJ squadron that DID use the Fishbed-C. The SF2 'date switch' is used to create the "start date" for when Algeria received their MiG-21F-13s (btw, it's 1965). When on the Loadout Page, instead of the Generic "QJJSilver1" name, you'll see 11e Escadron de Chasse (Algeria) I have included a modified data and loadout ini. The data ini gives the aircraft some "hardening" (via aluminum armor), and the loadout ini adds the drop tank for all missions. I've also included a new pilot figure, "RedAir1". For those of us with older eyes, I've given you brightly (re)painted gunsight tgas for the cockpit. The canopy is also activated, it uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). What I have NOT given you, are the bits and bobs necessary to make it Player Flyable (tm). If you haven't done this, you'll have to root around for the needed cockpit in the CA downloads.

Like this. Fully repaved in concrete, and I've never noticed any flickering. I know that may not be fully correct for SEA, but it works much better. I'd be happy to send all the bits and pieces, if you want Also, all the textures are still in their 'stock' style (bmp, tga)

View File SF2 F-16AM Falcon, Portugal (TMF) Pack SF2 F-16AM Falcon, Portugal (TMF) Pack 8/21/2025 -For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 Merged Suggested) This is a rebuild of a mod from 2011(ish) of The Mirage Factory's F-16A to the represent the F-16AM versions as used by the Portuguese Air Force Squadrons No. 201 "Falcons" and No. 302 "Jaguars". Each squadron has 2 skins; standard full color, and low visibility markings. The SF2 date switch is active, turning on in 2000 (best guess) This mod is set up and labeled to cause =NO= conflicts with any of the other TMF F-16As buzzing around, as this carries a unique name (see below). Skins remain in their original bmp format, in their original size and resolution (1024x). All markings are decals. Decal Randomization is TRUE. Each skin is provided with 18 historically correct serial number decals. The necessary items provided are drop tanks and pilot seat, the TMF F-16 Effects and Sounds. I've not supplied any other weapons; you should have the needed ones from the various Weapons Packs available at CA . If I missed anything, PLEASE let me know and I'll try to get it fixed. . The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The refueling door opens/closes with the Shift/1 (one) keystroke. When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see: F-16AM FAP (TMF) So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. The original readme is included. The 'Change Log' is, of course, in the Notes section below.

I've noticed that flickering a few times, too. What about retexturing that Runway 2 to match the "new" concrete sections? I have both R2 and R3s redone in concrete, if you want them.

yes, you can attach a pdf. If not, maybe zip and attach?? Or PM it to me??!!! DA, not is does it seem incomplete, but I only get a blank sheet!!! Is it supposed to be searchable?

While we actually do have a number of aircraft for Morocco and Algeria, there is a pretty large gap concerning some of the others. What I'm asking, is there a site someplace that might have their listings?? I've been scouring the web, and while coming up with SOME answers (like the prefix letters used on Algerian birds), still need the number sequences. In particular, Algerian MiG-21s (all models), and their MiG-23s (MF, BN, MS) TIA!!!

Late 1999: Algeria accepts it's first MiG-29s

Really??? Well, wow. Much more fun with them, eh!?? If that's true, I can set a specific Spanish loadout without them. That's pretty easy

View File SF2 F-86F-40 Sabre, EDA (Spain) Skin Pack SF2 F-86F-40 Sabre, EDA Skin Pack 8/2/2025 -For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Recommended) This is a NEW skin for the F-86F-40 Sabre. This is a something of a "salvage operation", as I found this skin/decal set in my archives. It was originally done in 2012, but for reason unremembered, never released! This set represents Spanish Air Force (Ejército del Aire y del Espacio) Sabres of 1 Ala from approx. 1958, when they started receiving the Sabre. You get 18 historically accurate decals; accurate in the fact they served in the EDA, but I was unable to associate them to a specific squadron or wing. So, consider them to be 'generic' in nature. Please note, the fuselage numbers are the early presentation as when first delivered. The skin is in jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. The SF2 date switch is NOT used, however the "startdefaultdate=" is set to 1958. Hopefully it works as advertised. On the skin selection menu, on the Loadout Page, you'll see: 1 Ala, 12 Esc As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. As always, give the "Notes" section a quick read for any and all nonsensical ramblings. A small request for information is also down there. :) Happy Landings!
