File Name: F-4D, ROKAF 1969 File Submitter: ndicki File Submitted: 10 April 2011 File Category: SF2 Series Add On Aircraft MDD F-4D Phantom II, 110th TFS, 11th TFW, Republic of Korea Air Force, Taegu, from beginning 1969 After some hard negotiating during 1968, ROKAF was given 18 F-4D aircraft in return for agreeing to transfer 36 on-loan F-5A/B aircraft (which ROKAF did not greatly appreciate in any case) to RVNAF. These aircraft were used by 110 Tactical Fighter Squadron, and supplemented by further deliveries over the years, remained in service with 110 and 151 TFS, 11th TFW until 2010. They retained their SEA camouflage at least into the 1980s. Serial numbers were simply based on the USAF serials, with the initial '6' removed - so the first aircraft delivered, USAF 64-0931, became ROKAF 40-931 and so forth. To the best of my knowledge, they did not participate in the Vietnam War, although given the Republic of Korea's considerable contribution to supporting South Vietnam, it is a reasonable what-if...

I DID look at that, and didn't have the courage... It is outside the time frame specified, as it's in fact during the very early 1980s, I think, isn't it? If you can supply the marking in white on black, for example, I can make the decal easily. But if I had to draw each letter by hand, it would take days.......

Have you modified the model LOD files to look for .dds files? If not, it'll still be looking for the appropriate BMP files. You need to work through the model with a hex editor, changing each BMP entry to DDS. The easiest tool is Martin Wright's DXTBMP - I have no idea of the settings to use, but I use DXT1 with no alpha, for most things.

This will be coming soon - it's a repaint of Monty_CZ's S-99 as a late-production Bf109g-6 or g-14 - there was actually no difference between the late g-6 and the early g-14, so it can do either. The tall tail and Erla canopy appeared in the autumn of 1943, and while they were not universal until mid-1944 or later, they do mean that this aircraft can be used for any 1944-45 scenario.

What would be good is if there were a way of randomising the skin on the fuselage, so the aircraft in the flight had different patterns of camouflage, never mind different individual numbers. If it's possible to paint the camouflage blotches onto a decal without losing the panel detail - presumably also on the decal - it might be interesting. But I know very well I don't have the energy and patience!

My pleasure!

If you've edited your SOUNDLIST.INI correctly, I can't see why they wouldn't...

All I can usefully do is give encouragement..!

Veltro, first I'd like to say thank you for all the work you've done! And welcome you to SF2... Which leads me to the next thing - SF2 is more resource-hungry than SF1 for any number of reasons, so if I may dare to make a suggestion - LODs. My computer isn't the hottest, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this - aircraft with multiple LODs are ideal for use in realistic numbers, while aircraft without lower LODs can slow things down very considerably till you're looking at a slideshow. I've noticed that many WW2 add-on aircraft don't have LODs, which is a shame, because they don't get as much use as they deserve. Not complaining here, and certainly not trying to hurt anyone's feelings - just saying that I'd love to see more Italian aircraft I can REALLY profit from!

JG 300 was originally created in July 1943 as a Wilde Sau free-range night-fighter Geschwader, but owing to the high accident rate and the relative lack of success, was transferred at the very beginning of 1944 to daylight operations. For SF2 only.

By this date, JG 53 was equipped essentially with Bf109g-10 and k-4 aircraft, and had been absorbed completely into the Reich Defence organisation. The black fuselage band was attributed on 20/02/1945 in replacement of the earlier rust-red one. For SF2 only.

File Name: Bf109g-10 JG 11 'Kanonenboot' File Submitter: ndicki File Submitted: 13 March 2011 File Category: SF2 Series Add On Aircraft Bf109g-10/U4, I./JG 11, Germany, Early 1945. By this date, JG 11 was equipped essentially with Bf109g-10 and g-14 aircraft.The yellow JG 11 Reich Defence fuselage band should not be confused with the narrower Eastern Front markings. THe yellow rudder should theoretically be accompanied by a yellow band around the nose - the final type of quick recognition markings introduced in early 1945. Needless to say, by this stage, official directives were not always scrupulously respected! Despite the fact that MG151/20 gondolas were rarely if ever fitted to g-10 type 109s, this aircraft has them fitted as standard for all air defence missions. For SF2 only.

I thought I'd seen them over at the DAT site, but I can't find them now. Blast... I definitely have seen them somewhere in the last few days! Otherwise, PM me with your e-mail address, and I'll send them along. That doesn't solve the wider problem...
