As it says it's nothing specific to any unit, just like the "A-10 Grey" skin, a simple blank skin if like me, who loves the European 1 scheme more than the Grey one, then this is for you. I don't mind retextures if you want but please credit me at the minimum, as I don't mind you adding stuff to it. Of if you have a request you know where to find me... Needless to say this works on both the A (preferably due to the lack of the wedge antenna) but of course can work on the C version as well if so desired, as you simply extract the file and select "European 1" in the Paint Schemes menu for the aircraft and go fly.

Ka-50 USMC HMLA-167 Early


 

Just another What If camo pattern for the Ka-50, showing the camouflage pattern used by the USMC in the 1980s prior to the change to the two-tone grey camouflage that is on AH-1W Cobras today.


 

To install this skin simply cut and paste the “us marines 4” folder in your DCSWorld\Bazar\Liveries\Ka-50 folder. In the Payload Editor select “HMLA-167 Early” and go fly.

FT 75-308


 

This skin represents an A-10A from the 75th Fighter Squadron, 23rd Fighter Group (“Flying Tigers”) in an European 1 scheme.


 

To install this skin simply cut and paste the “FT 75-308” folder in your DCSWorld\Bazar\Liveries\A-10A or if preferred, A-10C folder. In the Payload Editor select “23rd FG, 75th FS, Pope AFB” and go fly.


 

Disclaimer: The original supplied artwork was used to trace the outline of the Shark Mouth.

JAWS 75-260


 

This is one of the other schemes of the JAWS (Joint Attack Weapons System) program.


 

For installation simply drop this in your DCSWorld\Bazar\Liveries\A-10A or A-10C folders, open the simulation and in the Payload Window, select “JAWS Skin No.2” and go fly.

A-10A JAWS 75-262


This represents (as close as possible given various sources) the JAWS (Joint Attack Weapons System) A-10A Warthog from the 57th Wing, Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.
 
Installation: Simply unzip the folder and extract the file into your Bazar\Liveries\A-10A (or optionally the C, though the only oddity noticed is the antenna behind the cockpit, otherwise it’s identical mapping) directory and go into the simulation go to the Payload section and for the Liveries drop down menu select “JAWS Skin No.1” and go fly.

This is a pack of the six single-seater version of the Blue Angels livery, with No. 7 being the F/A-18D and as such since it is not in DCS not done. As such since the texture is based off of the tactical version of the aircraft it’s still good enough to work with when DCS: Hornet is eventually released. Also done is a basic pilot skin and given the mapping and configuration does not represent the actual flight suit that the real pilots wear.


 

To install simply navigate to your DCS World\Bazar\Liveries\fa-18c and copy and paste the folders into that folder, open up DCS World and if you have the appropriate mod, go fly. If not wait until DCS: Hornet comes along. Regardless go into the Payload Options and for Paint Schemes select “Blue Angels No.x” with the “x” representing the number for the appropriate aircraft.

A-10A Peanut Scheme Barksdale, CA (Aircraft 78-552)


 

This aircraft was painted in the “Peanut” scheme, a test pattern prior to deployment to the Persian Gulf for Desert Shield/Storm. However, the USAF decided against the scheme and left the European 1 scheme as standard. Given the various references I have I chose to depict the aircraft as such, as the serial number and pattern was more accurate rather than unit markings. Some did not have the green tips while one did, so I chose to make it more “assigned” to the 47th TFS, 917th TFG, Barksdale AFB, LA. Despite this I gave it a “used” look anyway as it added a lot of atmosphere to the aircraft.


 
Installation: Simply unzip the folder and extract the file into your Bazar\Liveries\A-10A (or optionally the C, though the only oddity noticed is the antenna behind the cockpit, otherwise it’s identical mapping) directory and go into the simulation go to the Payload section and for the Liveries drop down menu select “47th TFS, 917th TFG” and go fly.

VFA-94 Retexture



This is a simple retexture of the default VFA-94 F/A-18C skin that’s provided with the templates.



Installation, simply put this in your fa-18c (or A if you want), and in the Paint Schemes drop down menu, select “VFA-94 Retexture”.

Pre-Production No. 1


 

Before the Camouflage legacy of the A-10, this was one of the proposed schemes.


 
Installation: Simply unzip the folder and extract the file into your Bazar\Liveries\A-10A (or optionally the C, though the only oddity noticed is the antenna behind the cockpit, otherwise it’s identical mapping) directory and go into the simulation go to the Payload section and for the Liveries drop down menu select “Pre-Production No. 1” and go fly.

A-10A Warthog 77-234


 

This aircraft (given model configuration) represents an aircraft assigned to the 81st TFW (no particular squadron mentioned as the reference was from Airliners.net), tailcode “WR” from 1990.


 
Installation: Simply unzip the folder and extract the file into your Bazar\Liveries\A-10A (or optionally the C, though the only oddity noticed is the antenna behind the cockpit, otherwise it’s identical mapping) directory and go into the simulation go to the Payload section and for the Liveries drop down menu select “77-234 81st TFW” and go fly.

A-10A Pre-Production No. 4



73-1667


 
This scheme is a proposed coloration (which obviously was not used, instead the “European 1” and “Ghost Grey” schemes became the standard scheme for the aircraft).
 
Installation: Simply extract the folder and place it in the Bazar/Liveries/A-10A or C folder, go into the mission folder and in the Payload section and for Liveries select Pre-Production No. 4 and go fly.

This is the currrent scheme of the newly acquired Super Hornets by the Royal Australian Air Force. Numbered A44-200 through 224.
 
Simply copy the folders and place them in the appropriate directories and go fly, for SF2 series only as it has a custom drop tank texture.
 
And thanks to Wrench for pointing me in the right direction for the numbers...
 
And thanks to Riley64 for reference photos of the current birds.

Simply drop in the FA-18F directory and go fly, for SF1 series only.

This skin represents the VFA-27 CAG jet in 2009, just drop in the FA-18E folder and go fly.
 
Eric Johnson, 2012

Re-adapted for the SF2 version of the F/A-18F, also includes new custom drop tank texture.
 
Version 2.0 updates the panel lines, as well as other details as part of new work.

This is a VAQ-129 skin of the EA-6B.
 
DISCLAIMER:
 
The skin is not exact due to mainly texture mapping limitations of the SF2:NA Prowler, particularly around the intake area and nose area. I want to thank Wrench and HomeFries for supplying me with the necessary templates in order for me to make this happen.
 
That said, the skin is only for the TW Prowler, which comes with SF2:NA. Just drop the folder in the appropriate directory and it can be selected as "CoNA" for the AI if so configured. If you are using the EA-6B Super Pack by HomeFries then it would go in the EA-8B_98 folder (ICAP III) but can be used in any of the versions in that pack.

A rendition of VFA-25's new CAG jet.
 
Some textures from SidDogg's rendition of the legacy Hornet were used in this skin.
 
Eric Johnson, 2013
 
Drop in your FA-18E_BlkII folder and go fly.

For the FA-18F_BlkII, this represents a fictional CAG jet if VF-1 wasn't disbanded and kept in Navy service.
 
Some textures from a PDF (author unknown) for the original VF-1 F-14
 
Just drop in the appropriate folder and go fly.

A skin I made using the tutorial I wrote (which can be found here: http://combatace.com.../page__st__1440)
 
Drop in your FA-18F_BlkII folder and go fly

I may not play Ace Combat, but I've always liked their artwork, even though sometimes its a spinoff of real world schemes.
 
This is one I found on DeviantArt, and therefore put digital brush to the TMF Tomcat. I used it on the D model but can work with any model Tomcat you wish. Simply drop in the folder of the Mirage Factory Tomcat and go fly.

This represents the squadron when it first received the Super Hornet in 2003
 
Drop in your FA-18F_BlkI folder and go fly
 
Thanks to Dave for the scan for some parts of the skin
 
Eric Johnson, 2013

One of the second earlier schemes without the dark grey/blue tail tips
 
Drop in your FA-18F_BlkI folder and go fly.
 
Eric Johnson, 2013

Since an F-18L isn't around... this I believe was the type of camo designed for it, during the end of the Vietnam War and promotion.
 
Drop in your F/A-18A folder and go fly.
 
NOTE: This is a basic skin with no decals for your What If pleasure...

For the Block I F/A-18E in this package:
 
http://combatace.com/topic/44114-super-hornet-package-for-sf2-v30-by-the-mod-mafia/
 
Simply drop in you FA-18E_BlkI folder and go fly.

These are only E and F specific cockpits that are on the Block II airframes:
 
Key notes when installing:
 
- Delete your existing Cockpit and Avionics files. However, if you have some custom mods you don't have to install the AVIONICS file as it's just to make sure an Avionics file is present
- When selecting Air To Air Mode the RWR appears in the middle, just below the HUD. Selecting the NAV or "caged" mode will bring the keypad back.
 
Changes:
- new shape lower right panel with other adequate elements
- "killed" the clock on the lower panel
- removed backup RWR completely
- all DDI's are now color screens
- center screen has two modes, NAV which is basically the same as the early version and EW using simplified DDI function for which I'm sure newer versions can, screen is monochrome btw.

NOTE: There is NOT a EA-18G specific cockpit included....
