to answer your original question (aaaaaigh Quora's following me here!
),
terrain wise, if youre just staying in Germany, Rends Germany terrain is probably the best for flying along the IGB. if your dont mind the Balkans, Menrva's Italy Southern Europe 1993-2003 is an absolute work of art. Dont let the dates throw you, its too easy to adjust the date range on the terrains, mine runs from 1970 through 2040. I love the scenery when testing out a new skin or ini edit (especially since theres s 90% chance the project im working on flew through Aviano in RL)
ground objects and aircraft, depends on your tastes. If youre looking at Pershing 2s, im going to guess youre looking NATO or USAF or even USAEUR in the 80s. poke around the download section, make a list

another one, this time a master class in recycling
i figured you'd want a SEA camo'd Mud Hen now that its been done. I've done a correct set of Mud Hen skins for Lakenheath at the time this would have been most viable.
soo, reuse one skin, reuse one decal set, and even reuse one screenie for the title shot and here you go

Mud Hen in Camo: A One Off, What If skin for the Liberty Wing F-15E
Mud Hen in Camo: A what if Skin
Shortly after the deployment of the F-15E to the 48th FW at RAF Lakenheath, the CO directed the Strike Eagles to be repainted from the Gunship Grey they were delivered in to
a camouflage pattern similar to the recently departed F-111F Aardvarks. A move that potentially save the Colonel's career was to paint the first one as the commanders aircraft of the 3rd Air Force. This led that General to fight for the paint scheme, but Headquarters Air Force finally directed them to cease with the repaints. Still the first dozen aircraft delivered to the 494th Fighter Squadron maintained the SEA jungle theme until the last one went through depot shortly after Operation Allied Force. The 3rd AF marked jet even conducted a few missions over Serbia in March of '99.
This mod carries over a camouflage scheme done as a one off. to make the alternate history and the modding easier, it utilizes the same numbers and decals as the historically accurate Liberty Wing '95 494th skin.Included
1 skin for F-15E_92 aircraftthats it. no model, no decals, no effects sounds or weapons
Required
because of the back story, this mod is set up as a companion to my Liberty Wing 95 mod. The skin in fact utilizes the decals, numbers and decal.ini of the
494th FS skin in that mod, but with a different skin of course. You can get the needed mod here if you don't already have it
i hope you enjoy this mod as much as i enjoyed making it

you could make them level 2 decals, then have blanks for the ones that dont have. doing it that way, you could have the patch as just the tga and blanks numbered (334thpatch.tga, then 334thpatch008.tga for a blank) or you can number all. theres ups and downs to both methods
remember to make the blanks 12px in size to save space

Karma 52: 494th FS's Tribute to the Fallen and to Operation Eldorado Canyon
Karma 52: 494th FS's Tribute to the Fallen and to Operation Eldorado Canyon
This is a one off skin representing the RAF Lakenheath based F-15E that was painted in tribute to the military action against Libya 40 years ago. This also honors the two fallen aircrew of Karma 52, MAJ Fernando "Nando" L. Ribas-Dominicci (pilot) and MAJ Paul F. Lorence (WSO).Included
Skin and decals for F-15E_14 aircraft (This may also work in the F-15E_04 from the same, but will require slightly more work on your part.)Required
You'll need the F-15E_14 aircraft and related files from Viper63's F-15E Strike Eagle Superpack.Credits

The Panthers transition from the old SEA scheme to the regulation Gunship Gray took place during the beginning of Allied Force.
The 3rd AF marked jet (liked by CINC USAFE and beleived to be the reason the Liberty Wing CO wasnt fired for the unauthorized paint jobs across the 494th) was the last to be repainted
(hey, i couldnt just let this camo go for one bird only...)
