This is just a small mod to enhance the already existing mod of the French F-100D Super Sabre.
I used hgbn's template as a starting point to create 2048x2048 skins for this mod. The skins now also have French warning markings instead of the stock english ones.
I didn't remake all of the skins, but most of them are there.
Sorry, didn't do the shark teeth. I need to redraw them in Illustrator.. one day.
 
Installation:
 
Before you download this, you need this mod first:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/11566-f-100d-arm%C3%A9e-de-lair-complete/
 
Then you can replace the skins in the aircraft's respective skin folders.
I used the same folder names of course.

Paulopanz for the actual Armée De L'Air mod.
hgbn for the F-100D template
Sundowner for small weathering bits I recycled from I don't know where... (prob the F-4 ones)
TW for the original 3D model of course.

These are what-if desert skins for Ravenclaw's F-4E. They don't work for the stock TW F-4E.
There's also a wraparound skin for the '78 version by the way.
 
Installation
 
First Install Ravenclaw's F-4E.
Find it here: http://combatace.com/files/file/13932-f-4e-usaf-pack/
 
Then paste the folders in your Aircraft mod folder.
 
Credits:
 
TK for the game obviously
Ravenclaw for the aircraft and excellent templates.

These are desert skins for the stock TW F-4C/D, F-100D_64/68 and F-105D_66.
The F-4 desert skins don't replace the stock ones in the game, so you can still use both.
They refer to the same stock decals though.
 
F-4 skins made with Sundowner's templates.
F-100D skins made with hgbn's hi-res template.
F-105D skin made with Sundowner last hi-res template (I included the bump maps)
 
Installation:
 
I made separate folders for the various aircraft types in which you'll find the desert skin folder.
Paste the folder in the corresponding aircraft folder in your mod folder.
 
That's pretty much it...
 
Cheers

This the 2048-2048 template made to improve the skins of the F-111 Pack.
Find the skin pack here: http://combatace.com/files/file/14798-f-111-improvedskinpack
 
I started from the original skins in the pack.
 
It includes lines, rivets, weathering, stencils, squadron patches, and all the camo stuff.
I corrected a few mismatches in the original camo skins of the pack.
 
It also includes the bigger sizes of the patches in case you want to make these into decals instead of going
for the painted ones directly on the skin (as i did in my skin pack).
 
So basically feel free to use it for more squadrons or even aussi varks...
I'm not sure if the skins also fit the EF-111. If so, knock yourselves out.

Yours truly for the layered template.

Since I'm not a fan of too strong panel lines in the skins, I decided to redo the skins of the F-111.
I redrew the lines, added rivets, also some stencil stuff and the squadron's patches.
 
The squadrons are the ones of the original F-111 pack, which you need to download first to make these skins work of course.
Find the pack here:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/10425-f-111-super-vark-pack-version-24/
 
and the FB111A here (unless it's already included in the above pack... don't remember)
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/9192-sf2-f-111adef-ef-111a-and-fb-111a/
 
 
For the F-111D I created separate folders for the ones with classic insignia and 1984 versions referring to the more modern insignia.
So I took the liberty to copy the star.tga included in the F-111A decal folders and added them to the F-111D decal folders.
(you could easily do that yourself, but... what the heck)
 
Also, I created a new aircraft folder for a 1986 version of the FB-111A to include the Dark Vark skin with slimers.
I had change the data.ini file for that. So I went ahead and included that as well.
 
Another extra is a fictional wrap-up desert skin for the D and E version and a desert skin with grey underside for the F-111F.
 
Oh, I also made new Bump maps, because I thought the original ones were just too deep... They're in a separate folder.
 
Anyway to install everything:
 
 
1. Install the add-on F-111 pack mentioned above. (And keep it aside in case you don't like this and want to go back to the original pack)
2. Paste the contents of the Objects folder into your Objects folder (in your mod folder).
 
This includes F-111A/D/E/F and FB-111A and the new FB-111_86 folder.
The Decals folder only contains the star.tga in the F-111D, so you can have the D version with classic stars.
 
3.To make the FB-111A_86 work. Copy everything from the original FB-111A aircraft folder and paste them in
the new FB-111A_86 folder EXCEPT FOR the FB-111A.ini and the FB-111A_data.ini files (as I already made new ones for the FB-111A_86).
This is important as the new data.ini contains everything to make the slimers work!
Keep in mind that the FB-111A_86 refers to the FB-111A decal folder. There's no separate folder.
 
4. If you want the new bump maps, copy the three bmp's from the "new bump maps" folder and paste them in each aircraft folder of the different versions.

ps: For those who want to improve the skins (and I'm sure there's much room for it) I also uploaded the layered template I made as a separate mod.
Go look for it.

This package contains improved skins of the RA-5C Vigilante.
 
- Thinner and less visible panel lines, different weathering than the original skins.
- New squadrons with tail art and new decal tail numbering for each new squadron
- Now you can match this bird with more USN tailcodes in the game
 
 
Squadrons:
 
RVAH-5 "Savage Sons" tailcode NE (was already present in the original)
RVAH-6 "Fleurs" tailcode AJ
RVAH-6 "Fleurs" tailcode NG
RVAH-6 "Fleurs" tailcode NH
RVAH-7 "Peacemakers of the Fleet" tailcode AE
RVAH-11 "Checkertails" tailcode AA
RVAH-12 "Speartips" tailcode AC
RVAH-13 "Bats" tailcode NH
 
The tail artwork is painted on, so no decalling. Unfortunately when decalling over the fold section of the tail, the upper part of the decal disappears. But I drew the art in 2048x2048, that way it still looks ok in the game.
 
Installation:
 
First install aircraft. You can find it here:
http://combatace.com/files/file/9579-ra-5c-vigalante-sf2-v11
 
Then download this pack and from it, paste the "Objects" folder in your SF2 mod folder and overwrite.
(The original RVAH5 folder won't be overwritten as I renamed my version RVAH5_NE)

These are improved skins for the S-3B Viking.
The improvements are especially thinner panel lines (I really hate those big ass blurs around the lines :-)) and I also added some rivets. I changed some decals as well.
I corrected a few lines here and there based on actual walkaround pics (the pylons and engines for instance)
 
I didn't redo all the the skins, but most of them. To make sure nothing gets lost I added all of the decals for each squadron.
 
The included skins are for:
 
VS-21, VS-22, VS-24, VS-27, VS-30, VS-32, VS-33 and VS-38.
 
I found the VS-22 and VS-24 in the Black Sea Expansion pack and no credits to be found there for these.
So if the real slim shady would stand up, then I can include him.
 
I also included the template I made based on the original skins, in case anyone would want to use it for missing squadrons.

This is an improved skin pack for the F3H-2 Demon. It does not contain the plane.
You need to download it first from the SF1 download section.
 
What's new? The lines and rivets are redrawn in 2048x2048, as well as most of the squadron specific art and markings.
I also modified the opacity a bit of the decals to make them more blend with the skins.
 
 
Installation:
 
1. If you haven't done so, first download and install the F3H-2 Demon add-on aircraft.
Get it here: http://combatace.com/files/file/5215-f3h-demon
 
2. Paste the skin folders from this pack in your Aircraft folder
Objects/Aircraft/F3H-2
 
3. Paste the decals into the Decals folder: Objects/Decals/F3H-2
 
PS: I also included the templates I made with all the artwork, weathering, etc.
In case anyone would like to create more skins.
In the Demon03 file you need to change the position of the Star and change the light colour to get the Demon04.

These are two SU-24MK skins for Syria and a What-If Parani airforce
I redrew the panel lines in 2048x2048 and added some rivets as well. I included the psd file I used for those who want to create more skins.
 
I also updated the data.ini with values for use of the K-36 ejection seat and Red7002 pilots. It looks better I think :-)
But feel free to use the original one in the aircraft mod of course.
 
 
This is not the add-on aircraft itself. You'll have to get it here:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/12158-sf2-su-24-fencers/
 
 
Installation:
 
After you installed the aircraft mod obviously...
 
Paste the skin folders (Paran & SyAAFCamo1) and the data.ini in your Aircraft folder (SU-24MK).
Objects/Aircraft/SU-24MK
 
 
The K-36D and Red7002 go into your Pilots folder.

My skins and template are based on the ones by Veltro2K & Tunderchief
Layered PSD file, yours truly
I couldn't find who made the seat and pilot, sorry. But credit goes to whoever made them.

These are two fictional desert skins for the Mirage 5F, for EC 2/13 Alpes and EC3/13 Auvergne.
The colours used are the same as the French desert Jaguar A. So it's a kind of a plausible outfit if the Mirage 5 was ever deployed in a desert theater.
 
In order to use the skins, you need to download Ludo's flyable Mirage 5F:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/10873-mirage-5f
 
You need SF2E for the actual stock TW aircraft and SF2I for the cockpit. Please find all info in Ludo's mod.
 
Once you have properly installed Ludo's flyable Mirage 5F, you can paste my skins in the aircraft folder:
Objects/Aircraft/Mirage5F. My desert skins refer to the decals used in this package!
 
The skins themselves were made based on Ludo's Mirage 5F templates with some additional weathering by yours truly.

These are fictional desert schemes for the G-91Y of the 8th and 32nd Stormo.
It's a paint-over job, but it came out quite well I think.
 
You will need the original aircraft of course! Get it here:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/11133-aeritalia-g91y/
 
The skin doesn't include the decals. You'll find them with the original aircraft mentioned above.

There are no templates so I painted it over and worked with layers of saturations and color balance to get it how I wanted it.
The model seems to work only with DDS files, but I included jpgs of the skin for reference.
 
Have fun!

These are 1024 templates I made for the new French Jaguar A. I recycled a few bits from the GR1 one, which I thought were a bit better, for instance gear, nozzle...
I included my skin layer of blue green camo, but it's a template so it's made to work with.
I also added rivets which were missing in the original skin.
 
Download the aircraft here: http://combatace.com/files/file/14511-jaguar-a/
And find all credits there as well :-)
 
I'm sure someone will come up with 2048 templates one day, but for now i'm using these.

These are three skins representing the 154th gruppo and 155th gruppo of the 6th Aerobrigata and the 101th gruppo of the 5th Aerobrigata.
All three squadrons received the F-84F, replacing their F-84G's.
The decals contains authentic serials most of which match the squadrons. It's not 100% historically accurate, but they look good over the Libya map.
 
Install:
 
Unzip and paste the F-84F folder (Objects/Aircraft/F-84F) in the corresponding folder in your mod folder.
The Decals go into the corresponding Decals folder.
 
 
Credits:
 
TW for the F-84F.
Ludo for the layered template that I used to make these skins.

This layered Photoshop template I made for the Mirage 2000C. I redrew the panel lines and rivets.
The template also includes some weathering. Feel free to make your own if you don't like mine of course.
