            BOEING B-47E STRATOJET 2nd Air Force Skins by COYOTE AEROSPACE
This is a semi historical mod to represent the B-47E in service with SAC's 15th Air Force.
It is semi historical because there were so many variations on equipment and markings across 1300+ aircraft
over its 12 year career that it is impossible to accurately represent all of them. Instead, a general sampling of 2nd AF
aircraft is shared here.
    INSTALLATION

            BOEING B-47E STRATOJET by COYOTE AEROSPACE
This is a semi historical mod to represent the B-47E through its career as SACs most numerous bomber.
It is semi historical because there were so many variations on equipment and markings across 1300+ aircraft over its 12 year career that it is impossible to accurately represent all of them. Instead, all major units that could be represented are (in other skin packs) and the general paint schemes used during the appropriate eras are modded for the forward deployments known as Operation REFLEX. Further, new nuclear weapons have been included.
To keep file sizes down somewhat, unit skins will be release by numbered air force and available in the SF2 Skins download section

    INSTALLATION
unzip installation folder
cut and paste to desired mods folder
allow overwrites (some effects and weapons mainly)
IF YOU HAVE THE B28 NUCLEAR WEAPONS ALREADY FROM ANOTHER MOD
use caution. I have set the nuclear weapons to a specific station code as NUC. Other mods featuring the B28 weapon do not have this yet, although i intend to do a comprehensive ini edit later this year across many weapons and aircraft
    INCLUDED
B-47E(53) and B-47(57) aircraft
Operation Reflex skins, and one unit skin for each aircraft)
Period accurate M64 and M65 bombs
B28 nuclear weapons, 350Kt and 1.1MT yields

    Known Issues
- At this time there are not models for the RATO pods that were commonly used by the B-47. I have a method figured out for it,
but we would need someone to model the horsecollar device with 33 JATO bottles
- Not every upgrade to the Stratojet is modeled. Again, there were 1300+ aircraft built, and 6 phases for upgrades. The (53) roughly represents
the aircraft after introduction, the (57) in between Phase 3 and 4. Anyone that would like to work any fakepilot mods to represent each of the
6 phases, as well as modifications like TEE TOWN would be welcomed.
- while online sources state the 341st Bomb Wing operated Stratojets, veteran and book sources could not even find proof of operation, let alone
marking information (they came through on all other Wings). Therefore I have not included this Bomb Wing in the mod.
- The "afterburner" trick to use water injection on take off is in effect, from 99-100%. If you want realism, and to not be visible across the
continent, dont exceed 97% power in flight.

    Lockheed C-141B Starlifter  by Coyote Aerospace
This mod is a new version of the C-141B Starlifter by Veltro2K, with skins by daddyairplanes
It features several historical skins covering several important periods in the Starlifters B/C model career. European One camoflage is applied as a tga skin, so two varieties of camo on the ramps!
    Installation
unzip, open the C-141B(v2k) folder, drop contents into desired mod folder
allow overwrites if needed, weapons may be the only thing needed
    Included
C-141B Starlifter model
MAC skins for 1981, 1986, 1987, and 1989
AMC skins ranging from 1993 through 2006 as well as a special Last Starlifter skin depicting 66-0177, known as the Hanoi Taxi and the last Starlifter to be retired
Cargo, Jeep, and Paratrooper weapons for the bay
    Known Issues
- the main cargo doors and paratrooper doors open at the same time. an expert was consulted, and it is not reasonably feasable to seperate the actions.
- cockpit is an older one, this aircraft is intended more for eyecandy as there are no real transport missions in SF2. anyone who can donate a more modern pit would be greatly appreciated
- While 63 C-141Bs underwent upgrades to C standard in the late 1990s, the upgrades were internal (glass cockpit, avionics, GPS reciever). as they are not really visible, there is only a B model for here in game. The serials however are accurate and part of the last 63 Starlifters in service after 2002 (when the last McChord based aircraft retired)
- due to slight mapping issues, there will not be a bare metal version of this C-141B. they dont show up really on the White top, green or gray skins, but would stand out on a bare metal. there were only about 7 that operated unpainted for 9 months during the Desert Shield/Desert Storm timeframe anyhow.
    Credits
Veltro2K:    main model, intial idea to revamp this plane
daddyairplanes:    skin and decal work, ini edits

In October of 1949, four pilots of the 36th Fighter Wing came together to form the first aerobatic display team in the American zone in Germany. This team and its successors would go on to fly hundreds of demonstrations in front of millions in Europe and Africa, before being disbanded in 1963.
That team was, .... the Skyblazers.
This year, Nine Teen Eighty Six, the Skyblazers have finally come home.This reunion, flown in the most advanced fighter aircraft of our time, the McDonnel Douglas F-15C Eagle, brings the Skyblazers out of retirement and back to the 36th Tactical Fighter Wing in Bitburg West Germany.

(Marcfighters) KC-10A Extender in the 90s
This is a redux of the Marcfighters KC-10 mod. It incorporates each wing that used the KC-10A in the early to mid 1990s. This includes the units that still operated the Extender at the transition from SAC to AMC, as well as the transition to Travis and McGuire AFBs. Also included are the two skins for the KDC-10 tanker version used by the Royal Netherlands Air Force
Installation:     Unlike many of my mods, i reccommend just deleting the previous mod if you have it on hand. This is a vast leap over the older skin set, and coversall available tankers rather than just 6 for each camo style. Allowing overwrite should not hurt anything, just dont complain about clutter if you go that path.
                          Otherwise, like always, unzip and install into any SF2 mod folder.

Included:    
    5 skins for the 458th ARG, 22d ARW, 4th Wing, and the 60th and 305th AMWs in 1995
    multi camo decal sets for these skins
    nose art as appropriate
    tweeked skins for the KDC-10 aircraft
    original decals for these aircraft
Known Issues
    the model and flight model are the same that Marcfighters included in the original (SF1) ODS mod. it was meant as eyecandy, and had no pit. as released i have commented out the cockpit, but had a sitting on the nose pit so i could load it in game
     to check work. there are also no windows for the cockpit, the entire fuselage is one piece (cause marking limitations)
    it is sluggish, and flies nose down.
    given there is a newer model known to be in the pipeline (eta two weeks), i am putting the lipstick on this pig but not working too much ini improvement. over 3/4 of the work on this should transfer easy to the new model when it comes.comments on how she flies will be referred to this warning.

SAC Twilight : KC-10A Extender(Marcfighters)
This is a redux of the Marcfighters KC-10 mod. It incorporates each wing that used the KC-10A in the last few years of SAC service also included is a El Dorado Canyon skin. While we do not currently have this operation in the game, I was able to find pics of ten Extenders in the UK in the middle of April, 1986. Ten KC-10As were used in the operation. you do the math.
Installation:     Unlike many of my mods, i reccommend just deleting the previous mod if you have it on hand. This is a vast leap over the older skin set, and covers all available tankers rather than just 6 for each camo style. Allowing overwrite should not hurt anything, just dont complain about clutter if you go that path.
                          Otherwise, like always, unzip and install into any SF2 mod folder.
Included:    
    4 skins for the 2d BMW, 22d ARW, 68th ARW, and Operation El Dorado Canyon with historical serial numbers
    multi camo decal sets for these skins
    nose art as appropriate

Brixmis Chipmunk T10 and templates
This was a quick and dirty mod to provide templates for the rerelease of the de Havilland Chipmunk Trainer and a skin to represent the BRIXMIS recon mission.
             Requirements
You will need the original aircraft available here
https://combatace.com/files/file/17262-sf2-dhc-1-chipmunk-pack/
otherwise, this should work in any version of SF2
Installation
unzip main folder.
Place objects folder in the objects folder of your chosen install.
place templates folder wherever you need to, in order to create more skins. templates are available in xcf for Gimp users and psd for Photoshop users

note: the patches layers are set to create a ribbed effect on the pertinent airfoils. they are set so that you should be able to use them with any other design

BRIXMIS History
 The British Commander in Chiefs Mission or BRIXMIS for short was a mission that used the legal ability of a certain number of British servicemembers to roam the
Soviet Zone of Occupation, generally known as East Germany. Reciprocity was enjoyed by the Soviets in the former British Zone of Occupation.
The airborne component of BRIXMIS flew out of RAF Gatow in Berlin. An observer rode in the front and took pictures of Soviet military activities and equipment within
a 20 mile radius of Berlin, flying under cover of "exercising the right to navigate within the flight corridors to and from Berlin".
Serials provided are in pairs for each period of time operated, but in one overall skin
WK303, WK587 from 1956-1966
WP850, WP971 from 1966-1974
WZ862, WD289 from 1974-1988
WG466, WG486 from 1988-1990

Big Al for the aircraft

                           SAC Twilight B-52G/H Skinpack and Upgrade Package
This is a package that adds several historical skins with nose arts to the B-52G_89 and B-52H_88 aircraft. Several skins also include my skin as tga method to allow several camo schemes in one skin. It also upgrades the weapons loadouts and data.ini's for better
historical accuracy
    Included
- B-52G_89 and B-52H_88 aircraft with new loading screens, data ini, loadout ini, historical serials and nose arts
- weapons including a new B28FI_350 nuclear bomb and upgraded data inis for others
- effects and sounds for aircraft and weapons
    Installation
unzip package, put into mod folder, allow overwrites for items that you already have
    AIRCRAFT NOTES
several skins have tga based skin to represent SIOP mod, Strategic, and all grey camo. this leads to the decal folder being large (over 3.5GB).
    
    B28 NOTES
the B28FI weapon included is to represent a laydown delivered weapon. it should not be released lower than 1600 ft AGL and slower than 515kts. the B28RI weapon should not be released lower than 6000ft AGL.
not responsible for fragging is these guidelines are not met.

                                                                                                                                            Operation Desert Storm Skinpack and Updates for B-52G_89
    This Mod will add ODS skins for the B-52G_89 found here
some weapon, ini, effects and sound edits are also included to enhance the operation of this classic bomber
    Included:
Updated and reskinned B-52G_89, Decal set that puts multiple camoflages on each skin and at least a dozen Historical aircraft with Unit markings and nose art, updated weapons common to that version of the aircraft, a fake gunpod pylon for use with dual MERs, and updated sounds and effects.
    Historical Notes:
Although you can fly em all, the only accurate skin to fly within ODS would be the Jeddah skin. The others flew from off of the various Iraq terrains available.
Bomb missions markings not included as these are set to represent the beginning of the campaign.
While many other weapons can be carried, the improved ones are the ones carried during Desert Storm, and strategic weapons (nukes)
While ALCM pylon is missing (more below), it only affects the Senior Surprise mission from Barksdale AFB (16-17 Jan 1991). The other Bomb Wings did not employ CALCMs
    Installation:
unzip. put all folders EXCEPT Templates into desired mod folder. Allow overwrites as needed.
    Known Issues:
While there is currently a new Hound Dog pylon selectable in the download menu, there is not an ALCM pylon. While some sources state that the CALCMs were carried on the stub pylons, I find that not too likely.but it is how it is carried in game at this time. Either I will learn Blender and create one in the future, or a volunteer would be welcomed to create one (likely a faster route). But at time of initial release (24/12/2018) the cruise missiles are carried on the stubs.
