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

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.

KC-135 Skinpack 2: Post Vietnam (1975-1987)

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

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.

       BTW, this thing is big, coming in over 2 1/4 GB size
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
   reserve forces
   Colors represented include ADC gray, and Shamu dark grey over medium grey. Shamu is added as tga for a mix within each skin
   Engines on the A models were adjusted to produce heavy smoke at max thrust. Burning water, just like the real thing.
   Drogue add on to simulate refueling probe equipped aircraft. Added in loadout screen

Skin Pack for TMF Boeing 707-300

TMF Boeing 707-300 Comprehensive Skinpack
This mod will replace the individual skins for the TMF 707 and adds my multi airline skins to it, covering the eras from the early 1960s until the late 1980s and will add some eye candy to your parking ramps or make for interesting intercept and escort targets
   INSTALLATION
This is only a skin pack with some additional items. First you will need the original located here:
then unzip and add this mod as well. allow overwrites.
You can delete the previous skins if you want, as they are represented in the skin pack
IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN NATIONS.INI, ADD FROM THE GIVEN TEXT FILE. This is for heavily modded installs
   INCLUDED
Decal sets covering most major users from 1959 until 1989
Skins to cover that time period in 9 blocks, with bare metal base skins
Nations and Formations ini for the "Airline" nation
   KNOWN ISSUES
Number 1: THIS THING IS BIG! the fuselage tgas are 2048x2048 (working with details over an entire fuselage rather than basic colors
and curves) and the biggest sets are representing 32 airlines in their era! So this is not for the small of HDD space
Number 2: Due to quirks in the model, and ease for the modder it is not 100% aligned as in RL. the cabin windows are a little lower (which
allowed the logos to go one easier), and the curves tend to stop short of the radome.
Number 3: this uses the Herc pit to be flyable. I ad it to be able to check the decals, but leave it for those that may want to use it.
The pit is a piss poor match however, both with frames blocking and the higher tech than available even into the 80s for civilian birds
It is meant as eye candy, not operational missions.
Number 4: due to the size of things, some of the lettering is not to legible when you get close to it. Again, eye candy, its meant to be seen
from the runway when taking off or on an intercept. If your that close to see "hey it really is fuzzy" you will probably collide. Besides, the
thing is huge as is at teh current tga size
   UNSOLICTED ADVICE
I am one of those that likes all encompassing mods. If you have a certain era you would rather focus on, by all means delete the other eras
that you don't need. Again this thing is huge, but covers almost every user from 1959 through 1989.

E-8A/C Joint STARS

                              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

KC-135 Skin Pack 1: Operation Desert Storm

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
Credits
BPAO- original model
Dave- head of/released original project

with the ESM fairings on the cheeks and chin. 31 Historical serial numbers are incluled for USAF, 18 for NATO.
Skins are FAIRLY historical although accurate representation of units by tail stripe was difficult due to
lack of Photos with documentation.

INCLUDED
E-3A with a 77, 83, ODS and 94 skin as well as NATO

ESM and fakepilot objects for pilots folder

CREDITS

Enhancement Pack for TW DLC 23 - F-4N Phantom II

By daddyairplanes in F-4

DLC 23 F-4N PHANTOM II ENHANCEMENT PACK

This is a mod to enhance the DLC F-4N. It includes data.ini's for smoky engines,
realistic weapons and drooping ailerons. It also features many skins that have been
touched up using Sundowners templates. Finally it has 100 historic BuNo's, and
several styles and colors for modexes. It covers a wide spread of N users without
becoming completely OCD.

Included are:

-3 F-4N aircraft (N, N_77, N_80) to help keep some order and smallness of file size. skins covered include USN/MC Grey, Overall Gloss
Gloss Gull Gray(circa 1980), Lo Viz Grey (1981) and TPS (1983). Ferris and Heater Ferris were not used for the most part on N models.
-my expanded squadronlist.ini. tho many units are stock in here, several will not show without this. Plus it's got room for anybody you
can think of and then some more.
-an expansive NavalF4 decal folder to cover all years after Vietnam (EXCEPT 1976). not all will be full right now, but
they will be filled up with some future planned mods.
-a Numbers folder with Buno's for the N, and several styles of Modex's
-smokier engine effects for the J-79s.
-J-79 engine sounds

REQUIRED: The TW F-4N Phantom II, DLC 23.

INSTALLATION:
same as any other mod. unzip the file, paste into your mod folder, allow overwrites for old copies
of the smoke effects and the F-4N.ini.

CREDITS

First is a HUGE THANK YOU to mytai01. much of this work is based off of his model for decalling the F-4 Phantom.
Some of the nn tgas are even lifted off his B model skins and adjusted into N models BuNos. Those that have seen
his work will recognize much influence in this mod.

Thanks to Sundowner for his templates. With a Sundowner template, you have to work hard to screw up a skin!!!!!

As with all my Phantom mods, thank you to Spillone104 for his J-79 effects. I do like them so, and hope
you will as well.

thanks to JSF_Aggie for his drooping aileron edit for the data.ini. although TK fixed that in the July
2013 patch, i have not patched there yet and know that many still haven't. for the time being the mod
uses JSF_Aggie's work.

Thanks to Gerwin, Blade, Wrench, Dave, mppd, Ghost531 and many others who have given me answers and resources
to many technical questions the last year and a half I've been working this.

special thanks to Ghost531 and CrazyHorseB34 for getting me off my fourth point of contact when stalled
on this project

and as always thanks to TK who developed both the game and the particular DLC, then left enough work for
likes of me to fill in.

again thank you for downloading this mod and i hope that you enjoy it!

Updated Boeing 757-200

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

Florian's Airbus A310 Family

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

DC-8 Series by Veltro2k

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

"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."

Boeing 767 Skin Pack

Boeing 767 Skin Pack
by daddyairplanes

This is a mod to add multiple airlines to Veltro2k's 767 airliner. This mod also adds
the airliner nation and formation so that a stream can be generated in game.

********************************* NOTICE ************************************

This mod displays several airlines at once on the same skin. I use a few tricks in ini editting and tga work to do this. this mod is partial free use, just do not add a complete other skin to it for a new airlines. Any additional airlines requested I am willing to make within the system i have set up. I set this up mainly to have better eye candy on the ramps, not see a dozen of the same airline.

IF you have a request, pm me and i will knock it out for you asap, or teach you how to make the tgas.

*********************************************************************************

INSTALLATION
Download V2k's 767 mod available here: http://combatace.com/files/file/15041-boeing-767/
Download. Unzip. Place into mods folders. Allow overwrites.

Known Issues
The aircraft is abit slow to accelerate. Also the cockpit leaves much to be desired That said, this is best left as AI eye candy to run intercept or escort on, or be
pleaseantly suprised when taking off from the airfield.

Stock terrain edits are included so this mod shows. Additional editting will be needed to show in other terrains like Desert3 until the original modder chooses to add it in.
BE CAREFUL IF YOU HAVE AN EDITTED STOCK TERRAIN!!!

CREDITS
Veltro2k:original model and skin layout
daddyairplanes:bare metal skin, airline tgas, nation inis and formation ini
TK: baseline game and it's moddability
eburger68: other friendly nations from NF5 and other mods for terrain nation inis
Google, Airliners.net: image research and basis for many tgas

Thank you for downloading and i hope you enjoy this mod.

C-141A Starlifter Redux 2

This is primarily a skin pack although it fixes a few quirks in the data.ini that was pointed out in testing as well.
Included are 3 historical skins: Natural Metal, White over Grey and European 1.
A dozen serial numbers and represented units tied to those numbers

Credits: BIG THANKS to Geary for the staring templates. He was much faster on panel lines than i could have been, and it does
help a skin when it has proper panels and some weathering
Veltro2k for the original model and some technical support
Wrench for more tech support and updating the original some
Muesli for testing the semi final product
TK for the game itself
me, well i just made the nat metal and lizard skins, decals and cleaned up a little round the inis and edges

Install directions: drop the objects folder into your mod folder. Allow overwrites. No particular SF version needed and historically
fits into all of them including Israel (resupply in '73).

I hope you enjoy this mod

McDonnel Douglas DC-10-30

Presenting ... The DC-10-30 Airliner! This bird is created from Marcfighters KC-10 model and some ini editing by yours truly to remove the AAR equipment. in this version the aircraft is shown as many airlines flew her in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. This supersedes the previous version.
INCLUDED
DC-10-30 aircraft (template included) with 70s,80s and 90s skins
decals for same
flight folder to modify nations and formation inis
terrain folders to modify limited nations list for all stock terrains
folders to adjust ODS, NF5 and SF2NA Exp Pack

CREDITS
Marcfighters............. KC-10 physical model
daddyairplanes........ conversion, new skin and template, decal work and ini edits
Kesselbrut................. for his C-130J-30_cockpit

THANKS TO
TK ... for the base game
Marcfighters ... for allowing me to run amok with his old baby
Wrench, eburger68, Gepard, and the overall community ... for much advise and technical
support on this project
slartibarfast, viggen, macelena and others who crash tested this thing for me

******************************WARNING*******************************************************************************
this bird is rather old, and has its limitations. it is not meant for flying on recon missions,
but rather mainly for eye candy and somethin to possibly intercept or escort. while you CAN
fly it, that does NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD. that said buyer beware all quirks of this bird like the pitch
down on gear and flap retractions and the non moving control surfaces.

****************************USE OF THIS MOD*************************************************************************
I will allow fairly free use of this mod in any other mod. What i (at this time) request is that you do not
create a new skin based airline for it. the airlines are on as tga so that many airlines show up at one time.
A seperate say "Pan Am" skin will ruin the effect and there will be 8-9 Pan Am birds on the tarmac. Any airline
you would like to see, pm me and i will either tell you how to make it or time allowing make it and add in. Thank
you.

again, thank you for downloading this and i hope you enjoy it

KC-10A Extender

The KC-10 Extender

I made this mod after noticing that the aircraft in ODS was
using a skin that was not use IRL until 3-4 years after Desert
Storm. This fixes up skins for the Douglas (White over Grey with
Blue cheatlines), Shamu (Green/Gray over Gray)and Gunship Gray
schemes. I also added historical serial numbers to each skin, and
did the unit markings tied into each serial number. (for you advanced
modders out there, tied it as a 2 level rather than a 1 level). This will
allow several units to appear when they show in game on the ramp.

Installation
just add Objects folder to your mod folder. If installing into an ODS
install, allow overwrites.

Additional Warning
*************************************************************************
this really should be left as an AI controlled plane. it is not really
for any missons that would be represented in game anyhow.
i just skinned it up to satisfy a little historical accuracy in the game.
*************************************************************************

Credits

Marcfighters..........the model and original skin(served as a base for template)
eburger68.............revised data.ini that made the FM more manageable
myself................all other skins, template and tgas
TK....................the game itself, and our ability to keep modding

special thanks to Muesli, for helping me out trying to get the Dutch in the game as well.

suggestion to those with mission editor:
why not set up teh tankers on an orbit at a waypoint of a mission?
then you could "simulate" tanking as part of the missions......

Upgrade Pack for STORMs F-4N

By daddyairplanes in F-4

UPDATE FOR STORM'S F-4N PHANTOM 2

*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
** NOTE: THIS IS FOR USERS WHO DO NOT HAVE THE THIRDWIRE DLC F-4N. IF YOU HAVE THAT DLC THEN DOWNLOAD THIS FILE **
** **
** THIS MOD, DUE TO THE USE OF THE F-4B_67 LODS, DOES NOT HAVE SLATTED STABS OR DROOPING AILERONS. AGAIN, IF YOU HAVE THE DLC, **
** USE THE ABOVE FILE INSTEAD!!!! **
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
This is an update for the F-4B_67 based F-4N by CA's own STORM. I have added DECM markings and several skins for Gull Grey over White and the Overall Gull Grey paint schemes. I started this project on STORMs N, then completed a version on the DLC N. This brings the work back to its starting area. That said if you have the DLC N i suggest getting that enhancement mod. But if you did not buy it or prefer this one, I've looked out for you too.

Included

- Renamed STORMs aircraft "F-4N Phantom II (STORM) to avoid confusion the DLC mod. Esp important for me as i did in fact have both!!!!
- Added F-4N (80_Storm) aircraft for Overall Gull Gray and Low Viz Gray skins.
- unit specific skins for all N Phlyers from 1974 until about 1982.
- DECM antenea for the intakes, added via fakepilot method
- the latest squadronlist.ini.

Requirements
Need SF2 Vietnam for the F-4B_67 lods

Installation
unzip, add folders to mod folder, allow merge and overwrite if needed

Credits

*STORM for the original mod
*mppd for the DECM fairings
*Thanks to Sundowner for his templates. With a Sundowner template, you have to work hard to screw up a skin!!!!!
*mytai01. much of this work is based off of his model for decalling the F-4 Phantom. Some of the nn tgas are even lifted off his B model skins and adjusted into N models BuNos. Those that have seen his work will recognize much influence in this mod.
*As with all my Phantom mods, thank you to Spillone104 for his J-79 effects. I do like them so, and hope you will as well.
*Thanks to Gerwin, Sundowner, Blade, Wrench, Dave, mppd, Ghost531 and many others who have given me answers and resources to many technical questions the last year and a half i've been working this.
*BIG Thanks to Icarus999 for catching a previous error in the mod
*and as always thanks to TK who developed the game

again thank you for downloading this mod and i hope that you enjoy it!

ANG SLUF Pack- featuring TMF A-7D and A-7K

By daddyairplanes in A-7

This is an updated skinpack to reflect all USAF users of the SLUF after the bicentennial.
Every unit tactical unit is included, as well as the 4450th TG that was a cover for the
F-117A's at Tonopah. Most every scheme by every unit is in here; BUT for some units that had
different tail stripes for different flights rather than squadrons(i.e Puerto Rico), i picked one color and
went with that.

INSTALLATION
open the main folder, copy and paste into the mod folder of your choice and allow overwrites

INCLUDED
-4 diferent A-7D aircraft with one of the different paint schemes as a universal skin. changes
were limited to making 4 aircraft from 2, and adjusting the data.ini for the new droptanks
(A-7D_78TMF, A-7D80TMF, A-7D84TMF, A-7D_87TMF)
-1 A-7K with 4 different skins. droptanks for this are set for green as that is when the bulk
of these aircraft served was the SEA Wrap and Euro 1 era.
-3 sets of droptanks to work with the different A-7D models
- comprhensive decal set including 95 D model serials, 28 K model serials, and markings for
all units that flew in the paint schemes represented
- my expanded squadronlist.ini. helps to keep the tga's in order

References

Thanks to / Credits
The Mirage Factory for the original aircraft.
macelena and Slartibartfast, whiteknight0664 and Muesli for checking this dummies work for errors
Dave, point man for permissions on TMF works
the greater CA community, for putting up with my dumb questions
TK, for the game itself

i hope you enjoy this little mod i put together

NATO Trainer Cargo Aircraft CT-49A

This is the NATO E-3 Components TCA,(USAF designated CT-49A) based on the 707-320. These aircraft are use for pilot training of the E-3 Component and for cargo and troop transport as needed. Three are operated by NATO and a total of 5 have ever flown under NATO colors. This mod includes a touch up of the OTAN skin found in the TMF E-3A release and decals for all 5 TCA's ever registered in Luxemborg. It also includes the Sentry cockpit to make it flyable, or if you have the 707-300 already you can drop the CT-49 skin in and it will work as well. I hope you enjoy!

Post Vietnam USAF F-4 Phantom INI, Skins and Decal mod

By daddyairplanes in F-4

This is a simple mod for the stock TW USAF Phantoms. It uses new decal folders to allow tailcodes for most units that flew after 1973, four main paint schemes that were used between Vietnam and the Phantom's Phinal Phlights in the 90's, and ini edits to take advantage of some effects, sounds and new weapons loadouts. If you wish to know more, please read the readme it should explain most everything. Thank you to Sundowner(most of the skins), Malibu43 and Spillone104, Slartibartfast, Wrench, Dave, EricJ and a host of others. I hope that You enjoy

built up in SF2V/E/I/EXP1 and 2, Windows Vista. Will need SF2E to make all Phantoms work. Now updated to Sep 2011 patch.
