C-5 Big MAC Attack: Military Airlift Command Lifters in the 80s
By daddyairplanes in Other
C-5 Big MAC Attack: Military Airlift Command Lifters in the 80s
This mod is a redux of my earlier C-5 upgrade. It features historical serials and camo patterns,
as well as my usual tga camo sets to mix up the patterns within the same skin. in this case,
its the darker green on the B models, vs the dark nose but lighter green on the A models
Installation
unzip folders, put contents of "TO THE MOD FOLDER" in your mod folder, allow overwrites, enjoy
Credits
veltro2k: original model
daddyairplanes: new skin and tga work
Daddyairplanes: data.ini edit, Euro 1 skin variants, decals, vehicle cargo loadouts
KillerBee331: weapons pack that most cargo items are derived from
TK: original game, files that M-60(D) cargo item is derived from
I hope you enjoy this mod

(Marcfighters) KC-10A Extender in the 90s
By daddyairplanes in Other
(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.
Credit and Thanks

KC-10_SAC.7z
By daddyairplanes in Other
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

Chipmunk T10 BRIXMIS skin and templates
By daddyairplanes in Other
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
Credits

Big Al for the aircraft

SAC Twilight: B-52G/H Stratofortress
By daddyairplanes in B-52
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
By daddyairplanes in B-52
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.

KC-135 Skinpack 2: Post Vietnam (1975-1987)
By daddyairplanes in Other
USAF KC-135 Skinpack 2: 1974 through 1987
This skin pack will feature skins for all USAF KC-135 users from 1974 until 1987. This includes the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves as the aircraft became available.
Requirements: any version of Strike Fighters 2, and the KC-135 mod found here
Installation:
first, get the Mirage Factory C-135A/B and KC-135A/E/R 1.0 from the above link (if you dont have it already)
then unzip this to the mod folder, allowing overwrites.
Known Issues:
this is meant as eye candy. unfortunately, SF2 doesnt support air to air refueling so the best to be done is set up a recon mission and then park it in an orbit.
Also, Dels C-130 pit does not line up with the model very well. it is included mainly so that it can be player selected (i had to test it somehow).
In the skins with ADC tgas, loading more than 8 aircraft on a mission will produce irregularities (like only the front half of the camo showing). So far I have not seen more than 8 on a ramp, and it is doubtful you need to load more than that in one area for a mission. Just be warned if you throw all 16 in at once.
BTW, this thing is huge!!! over 3 1/2 GB size
So, Whats Included?:
Skins with at least two examples from every USAF unit to fly the KC-135 from 1974 - 1987, with separate skins for Active Duty and reserve forces
Colors represented include silver lacquer, ADC gray, and Shamu dark grey over medium grey.
Skins from 1987 have a mix of Shamu and ADC grey colors as tga. Same skin, two different paint jobs
Skins from 1983-1985 have a mix of ADC grey and silver lacquer colors. Skins from the 1970s are all silver lacquer and minimal tail markings
Engines on the A models were adjusted to produce heavy smoke at max thrust. Burning water, just like the real thing.
Drogue to simulate refueling probe equipped aircraft. Added in loadout screen

KC-135 Skinpack 3: Late 1980s
By daddyairplanes in Other
USAF KC-135 Skinpack 3: Late 1980s
This skin pack will feature skins for all USAF KC-135 users from the late 1980s. This includes the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves. Many of the skins serials and nose arts are the same as in ODS, which the aircraft would participate in a few years after this period. This also represents the era that the Shamu scheme became more common and that nose art made a comeback on USAF aircraft.
Requirements:
any version of Strike Fighters 2, and the KC-135 mod found here
Installation:
first, get the Mirage Factory C-135A/B and KC-135A/E/R 1.0 from the above link (if you dont have it already)
then unzip this to the mod folder, allowing overwrites.
Known Issues:

So, Whats Included?:
Skins with at least two examples from every USAF unit to fly the KC-135 during the late 80s, with separate skins for Active Duty and

Colors represented include ADC gray, and Shamu dark grey over medium grey. Shamu is added as tga for a mix within each skin

KC-135 Skin Pack 1: Operation Desert Storm
By daddyairplanes in Other
This skinpack adds in historical aircraft as used in Desert Storm for the A, E and R models KC-135. It is as close as possible with unit markings and features several nose arts.
Included
Skins and decals for KC-135A/E/R models
Cockpit and ini edits to make player flyable
Required
you will need the original KC-135 pack available here
Installation
download and install the above mod per its instructions
unzip this mod, then install new mod folder categories to your mod folder (Aircraft to aircraft etc)
allow overwrites
fire up game, take off and go pass gas
KNOWN ISSUES
This was originally an AI only aircraft. I added Dels C-130 pit so that it was flyable and I could check my work. That said, it is best to not fly from the cockpit as the Hercules' window frames don't match with the Stratotanker's windows.
UNIQUE FEATURES
As with most of my large aircraft mods, the skins are tga based. this means if you look for a Baby Shamu skin, you will only see a plain grey skin. When you fire it up in game, you will see a mix of ADC Grey and Baby Shamu.
AT THE START OF EACH SERIAL NUMBER IN THE DROP DOWN IS A LETTER, (a) FOR ADC Grey WITH FULL COLOR AND (s) FOR THE CAMO'D Baby Shamu SCHEME WITH SUBDUED MARKINGS

E-8A/C Joint STARS
By daddyairplanes in Other
E-8A/C Joint STARS
This mod builds upon the E-8C found in the original ODS campaign and corrects for an E-8A as used in Desert Storm.
Included
E-8A with skins for Desert Storm, Testing (92-95), and Bosnia
E-8C with skins for the 93d ACW and the 116th ACW Georgia Air National Guard
Installation
unzip, cut/copy and paste to mod folder. allow overwrite (should only apply to ODS mod folders), although for best results remove the old E-8C files from aircraft and decals.
Credits
the original model and skin was created by The Mirage Factory, based on the 707 model by Bpao
C-130 pit by dels
Skin adjustments, tga and ini work by daddyairplanes
original moddable game by TK
Known Issues
dels C-130 pit is used to make the aircraft player flyable. this pit is not very suited to the 707 airframe (alot of extra frame for a 707), but works for its purpose. The aircraft was not originally intended to be player flyable (airborne command and control not being a player mission set) and is best used as eye candy. However, i always put a pit in so i can see how my work progressed, and leave it for you guys to use too.
I hope you enjoy this mod

Desert Storm Skins for Dels new C-130
By daddyairplanes in C-130
Operation Desert Storm Skin pack for C-130E/H
This set creates skins for Dels new C-130s and incorporates historical nose art for the E model,
and historical serials and unit markings for both models. Due to lack of images, no nose arts are provided
for the H models. It is intended for use in the ODS campaign, or use it on your own.
Included:
C-130E_SKE - ODS skin, several historical nose arts, new hangar and loading screens, minor ini edits
C-130H3 - ODS skin, new hangar and loading screens, minor ini edits
Installation instructions
1st in either event
Get Dels C-130 Pack located here http://combatace.com/files/file/16427-c-130-hercules-superpack/
Normal install
unzip, allow overwrites (should be minimal), go fly
ODS install
go into your aircraft folder and delete the C-130E and C-130H aircraft
you may also want to go into the Decal folder to delete the C-130E and C-130H folders to save space, but it not necessary
unzip, allow overwrites (should be minimal), go fly
THE ABOVE WILL PROVIDE THE BEST RESULTS. THE AIRCRAFT IN THE CURRENT VERSION OF ODS ARE THE OLDER MODELS, THIS IMPORTS THE NEWEST MODELS INTO THE MOD
In Campaign: no edits are needed to put this aircraft into the current ODS or MOAB campaigns. However the old Herks
originally included in the install should be deleted to make it more likely for the new Herks to appear in game. That
and they are the older models with not accurate skin sets anyhow.

Updated Boeing 757-200
By daddyairplanes in Other
Updated 757-200 for SF2
This is an update of YEYEYEs SF1 release for use in SF2. I have applied my usual technique to incorporate multiple airlines on one skin per era, with 4 eras from release in the
mid 1980s through the mid 1990s. More may become available later but templates are included for those that don't want to wait on me.
Installation
unzip, open folder titled "Mod Folder" and allow overwrites.
IF YOU HAVE A PREVIOUSLY MODDED FOLDER
1. delete flight and terrains from "Mod Folder". 2 open the "Specials Folder", insert the nations txt file into your Nations.ini and the terrain txt file into your
(whatever)Nations.ini in the needed terrain folder.
templates to wherever you keep files for modding, or delete if you do not desire to mod it
Known Issues
- It is a bit slow on the pickup. while it can take off from a smaller airbase, best to stick to larger fields
- It features the same pit as the 767 and other airliners. we do not have an in house pit that is more appropriate at the moment and so most airliners are stuck looking like generic WWII
bomber pits
- It has a seam on the bottom of the model that is very pronounced given the decal based marking system i use. however this should not be to noticeable unless you approach it from below.
When parked on the ground or viewed from the side or above the seam is not noticeable.
- for all above faults, remember: it is meant as eye candy, not an operational bird! enjoy taking off from Keflavik or Rhein Main and seeing many airlines parked on one ramp

DC-8 Series by Veltro2k
By daddyairplanes in Other
Douglas DC-8 series By Veltro2k
This mod features three versions of the Douglas DC-8 jetliner and historical skinsets from introduction in the early '60s through the mid '80s. A little something for eye candy around the airfields or to run intercepts on.
Versions
*DC-8 representing the original DC-8-10/20/30/40 versions with the quieting tubes on the exhaust
*DC-8-50 representing the final short fuselage version and JT3D engines without quieting tubes
*DC-8-60 representing two of the final new build versions with stretched fuselage.
*several historical skinsets for all models
*flight and nations ini edits to allow airliner nation and a spaced out in line formation
Installation
unzip and load into mods folder. allow merging
Known Issues
* The cockpit is the same pit as in all V2k's big jet planes. Not proper but the plane was meant for eye candy not regular missions
* The DC-8-50 model has a seam running along the spine. Until Veltro makes an appearance again this will be there. It is not noticeable at a distance
*This is a huge mod (4 1/2 GB) due to how i've made the skins, or specifically the tgas for the fuselage.It takes a bigger decal to paint the side of an airliner

USAF A-37B Pack
By daddyairplanes in Other
A-37B USAF Pack
This is the current end point for two years worth of work. Centurion-1 began by creating a new model for the Super Tweet, several contributors later we are releasing it to you
Included are decals, new J85 sound, an updated squadronlist.ini, appropriate weapons, and 3 versions of the aircraft.
- A-37B: the original, as used by the USAF, Air National Guard, and several Latin American air arms. no refuel probe
- A-37B (76): adds refuel probe, as used by US ANG and USAF Reserve units the second half of the 1970s
- OA-37B: Final version as in US service, and as currently used by Latin American air arms. With refuel probe
- Photoshop templates for those that want to bring the other air forces into play
**********************************KNOWN ISSUES***********************************************************
-Cockpit is missing throttles. Unless Centruion1 returns this is unresolveable
-Lod is locked in, unless Centurion-1 returns.
-Modders: there is a bleed issue on the right side. any bands like the VNAF had need to be on skin, not tga. small decals like insignia work fine.
-This mod uses my master squadronlist.ini. IF installed into another install with other than stock squadronlist, do not install. It will mess up the other things on your install and my mod is adapted to force the decals.
NOTICE: this mod currently is AS IS and can only be modded by skinning and ini edits. It's not perfect, but its
in house and therefore free.
********************************************************************************************************************************
Installation: drop into mod folders. allow overwrites if it comes up. Delete DAT version, this replaces and upgrades player experience. Modders, put the templates where you wish to work on them
DON'T FORGET TO BACK UP BEFORE INSTALLING!
****************NOTE!!!!!! IMPORTANT NOTE *************************************************************
If you install this in a install that has eburgers SF2V Air & Ground Expansion Pack, DO NOT INSTALL THE PILOTDATA FOLDER!!!! This will overwrite the Squadronlist.ini in the pack and may break something. If you do not have the Air&Ground pack or NATO Fighters installed the new squadronlist ini will work fine and be a big improvement for units available.

Florian's Airbus A310 Family
By daddyairplanes in Other
Airbus A310 Family by Florian
This mod brings the A310 and it's variants into the game. As with most of my airliners, the skins are divided by eras and the airlines are the serials. I have represented airlines that are typically found in European and Middle Eastern skies. This time aroundI have also included the psd for the skin itself andthe xcf file to create airlines in Gimp.
BIG Thanks to Florian who reached out with a new model when he heard I was giving this bird some new clothes!
Includes
Airbus A310-100, -200 and CC-150 aircraft with multiple skins each (and multiple airlines per civil skin)
Flight folder with adjusted Nations and Formation inis
Templates for the skin and tgas
Instructions
unzip and install. place folders where they go and allow overwrite.
IF... you should have the old version, delete and upload this one. It has Florian's new models.
SHOULD work with all version of game, created on a full 5+2 merged install.
Known Issues
the cockpit is the C-47 pit to make it flyable no not realistic, but until we have at least a generic
modern airliner pit or better its what is avail. besides, this is meant for eye candy on the airfields or intercepts not as a main mission bird.
Credits
Florian - model and time to rework said model
DA - skin layout, airline tga work, airliner nation and edits needed for that, minor data.ini adjustment
mue - his LOD viewer deserves mention on all skin projects for the time it saves
TW - the original game

By daddyairplanes in Israeli Origin
This mod represents the Israeli Air Force's Stratofreighter tankers. It has several historically accurate serials based on available photographs

"1967 saw the beginning of Operation Creek Party. This operation provided air refueling support to United States
Air Forces in Europe tactical aircraft through the rotation of ANG aircrews and aircraft flying from Rhein Main Air Base,
Germany This operation, which continued until 1975, demonstrated the ability of the ANG to perform significant day-to-day
missions without being mobilized."

Upgrade Kit for C-17 Globemaster III (V2K)
By daddyairplanes in Other
C-17 Globemaster III Upgrade
by daddyairplanes
This mod upgrades Veltro2k's C-17 Globemaster III to incorporate all tactical USAF and all foreign users. It has skins for all 9 C-17 operators as well as time specific in the USAF and a couple of fictional skins (15 in all). The base skin has been updated by Flogger23 and myself, and ini updated by yours truly.
***************************** Installation: ********************************
unzip, copy to mods folder, allow overwrite if needed.
*****************************Known Issues********************************
-The cockpit is nonexistant. These are mainly as AI and the mission set for transports is limited so this will probably not be fixed soon
-while cargo statements are included in the data.ini, there is a wall at the back of the cargo bay that prevents the interior from being seen. If this is remodeled, i will include cargo "weapons" and tweek the positions.
-the Qatar VIP skin does not have "Qatar" decal on the bottom. It left a mark on the right side as a tga and was too screwy looking being on the seam of the skin so i left it off.
*********************Contibutors and Thanks to: ********************
Veltro2K- created the original model
Flogger23- reworked the skin for better looking panel lines and other features
Lazarus1177- pointing out to use jpeg rather than bmp. Learn something new everyday
daddyairplanes- tga work, ini editting, stubborn determination to see more than just one unit on a skin
airliners.net- loading and hangar screens
Dave, Muesli, Flogger23, Viggen, Lazarus1177, allenjb42- other sets of eyes to catch what i screwed up on
I hope you enjoy this mod and airlift the troops right to the enemies doorstep.
