Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

Mirage IIIBZ
 
The Armée de l'Air also ordered a two-seat Mirage IIIB operational trainer, which first flew in October 1959. The fuselage was stretched about a meter (3 ft 3.5 in) and both cannons were removed to accommodate the second seat. The IIIB had no radar, and provision for the SEPR rocket was deleted, although it could carry external stores. The AdA ordered 63 Mirage IIIBs (including the prototype), including five Mirage IIIB-1 trials aircraft, ten Mirage IIIB-2(RV) inflight refueling trainers with dummy nose probes, used for training Mirage IVA bomber pilots, and 20 Mirage IIIBEs, with the engine and some other features of the multi-role Mirage IIIE. One Mirage IIIB was fitted with a fly-by-wire flight control system in the mid-1970s and redesignated 'Mirage IIIB-SV (Stabilité Variable); this aircraft was used as a testbed for the system in the later Mirage 2000.

Strike Fighters 2: North Cape
 
(Version 1.2)
 
This is an add-on package for the "Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic" Expansion Pack available at CombatAce. The "Strike Fighters 2: North Cape" (SF2NC) add-on includes two new campaigns, both set in northern Norway during the late 70's and early 80's. Also included are fourteen new aircraft and a dozen new ground objects to fill out these new campaigns.
 
This add-on package is designed to be applied over the top of an existing installation of the SF2NA Expansion Pack. You can download the three main Expansion Pack files here:
 
Part 1:
http://combatace.com/files/file/13980-sf2na-expansion-pack-part-1-of-3/
 
Part 2:

Part 3:
http://combatace.com/files/file/13978-sf2na-expansion-pack-part-3-of-3/
 
Please take a look over the remainder of this ReadMe before installing this add-on.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
The minimum requirements for this add-on package are the same as for the SF2NA Expansion Pack.
 
REQUIRED: Strike Fighters 2 North Atlantic (SFNA), plus
Strike Fighters 2 (SF2), plus
Strike Fighters 2 Europe (SF2E), plus
Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam (SF2V)
 
PATCH LEVEL: Mar2012 or higher
 
As this mod is an add-on to the SF2NA Expansion Pack, you must have that earlier mod already installed and working.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Here's how to install this update package:
 
1. Ensure that SF2NA, SF2V, SF2, and SF2E are all properly installed & updated as part of a
merged install.
 
2. Ensure that the SF2NA Expansion Pack is properly installed and working. (See above for
links to all the download components.)
 
3. Unpack SF2_NorthCape.7z to a safe place on your drive.
 
4. Open the \To_Mod_Folder directory. Drag and drop all the files and folders from within
the \To_Mod_Folder sub-folder to your SF2NA Expansion Pack Mod Folder, overwriting as
prompted.
 
At this point the SF2NC add-on is installed and you're ready to play the new campaigns.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Summary of New Campaigns
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
This add-on supplies five campaigns for the SF2NA Expansion Pack, all set in northern Norway during the late '70's and early to mid '80's.
 
Two of the new campaigns are variants of the same underlying campaign:
 
- Nordic Sword (79): After war erupts in Europe, the USS Nimitz carrier battle group sails north off the Norwegian coast in September 1979 to contain the Soviet Northern Fleet as it attempts to break out from the Barents Sea and into the North Atlantic. A trailing Amphibious Group carries U.S. Marines ready join the Norwegian Army in its fight to prevent Soviet armored regiments from seizing the North Cape. The Norwegian Air Force flies F-5As and F-104s. Temporarily deployed to Norwegian air bases are two squadrons of USAF F-4Es and a squadron of USAF F-111Fs. A squadron of B-52Gs, hastily deployed to RAF Fairford (off map), is available for use in theater.
 
- Nordic Sword (82): A variant of the 1979 campaign, set in 1982. The USN carrier battle group is led by the USS Independence. The Norwegian Air Force has one squadron that has transitioned from F-104s to F-16As. Temporarily deploying to Norwegian air bases are two squadrons of RAF F-4Ms and one squadron of USAF F-111s.
 
The other three comprise a linked series of campaigns set in 1986:
 
- Fighting Withdrawal (86): Just hours after the Warsaw Pact invades Central Europe, Soviet armored columns and airborne troops launch an assault on northern Norway. As Norwegian army units fall back, the USS Nimitz and her escorts are ordered to withdraw from the waters off Norway, lest the carrier and her invaluable air wing fail prey to Soviet bombers filling the skies over Norway.
 
- Return to Norway (86): With the ground war in Central Europe stalemated and the Soviet Northern Fleet defeated in the North Atlantic following a failed assault on Iceland, the USS Nimitz returns to Norway with the USS Forrestal and a Marine amphibious group to retake the airfields and ports under Soviet control in northern half of the country. The Marines will seize Narvik, splitting the Soviet occupation forces, while relying on the two carriers' air wings to provide a covering umbrella of air support.
 
- Assault on the Kola Peninsula (86): Three weeks after the successful landing of Marines near Narvik and subsequent defeat of Soviet forces in Norway, the Nimitz and Forrestal battle groups take position in the Barents Sea to strike Soviet air bases and naval facilities on the Kola Peninsula.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Terrain Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
This add-on is based on the North Cape terrain created by Baltika and updated by Wrench. As Wrench notes in his ReadMe for his updated version, the terrain is not in a final, finished state. Thus, you should be aware of some of the terrain's anomalies, which I have not been able to redress.
 
Air Bases
 
Some air bases on this terrain are un-usable for various reasons.
 
- Some air bases sit on ground that still needs proper flattening. At affected air bases, the runway and parking areas may disappear from view at ground level. In the very worst cases, aircraft may bounce around or even explode on the ground as they taxi or take off.
 
For the included campaigns I have not used any of the most affected air bases, though at one Norwegian air base (Narvik-Framnes) the runway will disappear from view at ground level (aircraft still taxi and take off without issue).
 
- Some air bases sit in the middle of heavily forested areas, with trees crowding the runway and taxiways. Most of these bases are in the southern area of the terrain, which is generally not used for the campaign.
 
In sum, although some air bases on this terrain have unresolved issues, they are for the most part not used in the campaigns. If you try to fly game-generated single missions, though, you could find yourself starting from a problem air base.
 
Naval Groups
 
One other problem you could encounter in game-generated single missions involves the placement of opposing naval forces. Although the terrain has been properly converted to SF2NA Naval Map standards, the single mission engine often ignores the designated water areas for friendly and enemy naval groups, which are generally along the northern peripheries of the map. The game engine seems to prefer spawning naval groups in the center of the map -- the Gulf of Bothnia -- often right on top of one another.
 
This misplacement of naval forces really only becomes an issue if you are flying naval aircraft off carriers in game-generated single missions. When flying a naval aircraft on a single mission, you would do well to check the mission map before taking off. If the game engine has chosen to locate opposing naval groups in ridiculous places, back out and start a new mission.

Summary of New Campaigns
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
This add-on supplies two new campaigns for the SF2NA Expansion Pack, both set in the Mediterranean early to mid 80's. Both campaigns involve fictionalized takes on real world events:
 
- Powder Keg: After Israeli armored units invade southern Lebanon in June 1982, driving PLO forces north to Beruit and routing Syrian tank regiments, the Soviet Union dispatches a large amphibious group anchored by two carriers to intervene. Standing in the way is one lone U.S. carrier group: the USS Eisenhower and her escorts. With little support from feckless NATO allies, the Eisenhower sails north to intercept the Soviet 5th Eskadra and Black Sea Fleet.
 
- El Dorado Canyon: In June 1986 the Reagan Administration decides to take action against Libya following several years of naval and air skirmishes between the US Navy and the Libyan military as well as a string of terrorist attacks against civilian targets in the Middle East and Europe, all financed or supported by Libya. Codenamed "El Dorado Canyon," this operation will be a coordinated series of strikes by USAF and USN aircraft against Libyan military and industrial targets over the course of five days.

Mirage IIIB-2(RV)
 
The Armée de l'Air also ordered a two-seat Mirage IIIB operational trainer, which first flew in October 1959. The fuselage was stretched about a meter (3 ft 3.5 in) and both cannons were removed to accommodate the second seat. The IIIB had no radar, and provision for the SEPR rocket was deleted, although it could carry external stores. The AdA ordered 63 Mirage IIIBs (including the prototype), including five Mirage IIIB-1 trials aircraft, ten Mirage IIIB-2(RV) inflight refueling trainers with dummy nose probes, used for training Mirage IVA bomber pilots, and 20 Mirage IIIBEs, with the engine and some other features of the multi-role Mirage IIIE. One Mirage IIIB was fitted with a fly-by-wire flight control system in the mid-1970s and redesignated 'Mirage IIIB-SV (Stabilité Variable); this aircraft was used as a testbed for the system in the later Mirage 2000.

*** SF2+SF2I+V required for the KfirC1_77-Cockpit and optional A-4F_74-Cockpit, that is used here together with bits from the A-7E-Cockpit. Tested in full 5-merged installation ***
 
This pack contains an update to the previously released OA-4M-Pack by Wrench. All skins and decals are newly done for this pack.
 
Included are the following "new" planes and Skins:
 
* OA-4M Skyhawk (2-Tone Gray Camo) - Initial Camo with large insignias and white modex.
- H&MS-12, MCAS Iwakuni '81-'83
- H&MS-13, MCAS Yuma, '79-'83
- H&MS-32, MCAS Cherry Point, '79-'83
 
* OA-4M Skyhawk (GhostGray Camo) - 2nd Camo-Scheme, differently arranged with small insignias and lowvis modex.
- H&MS-11, MCAS El Toro, '88-'90
- H&MS-12, MCAS Iwakuni 1986 (Yosemite Sam on Tail)
- H&MS-12, MCAS Iwakuni 1989 (Yosemite Sam on Tail, Samurai on Aft Fuselage)
- H&MS-13, MCAS Yuma, '83-'88
- H&MS-32, MCAS Cherry Point, '83-'90
 
* OA-4M Skyhawk (Overall Gray Camo) - There were probably just 2 planes with that camo 154306/DA01 and an unknown 2nd one. Gray overall with black markings.
- MAG-32, MCAS Cherry Point, '89-'90
 
* OA-4M Skyhawk (Blue/Green Camo) - Experimental Camo on 154306/DA01. Dark green / dark blue with white bottom and black markings.
- H&MS-32, MCAS Cherry Point, 1983
 
* OA-4M Skyhawk (Green/Gray Camo) - Experimental Camo on 154628/DA04. Green / gray with gray bottom and inverse markings.
- H&MS-32, MCAS Cherry Point, 1985
 
Planespecific skins for the droptanks are provided (stock A-4 tanks), aswell as a new skin for the stock Mk.20 Rockeye II CBU.
 
Optional:
As there's no dedicated OA-4M-Cockpit available, the Pack contains 2 options here:
 
* KfirC1_77 cockpit by default, from dtmdragons A-4M-pack as stand-in. It "feels" better than the big and roomy A-7-Cockpit from the original OA-4M-pack. I also made refinements over
dtmdragons version to bring it more towards a modern Skyhawk-Cockpit. Landing Gear-, Arrestor Hook Lever and Rudder pedals are working now, I rearranged and reskinned the weaponspanel,
to get rid of the hebrew stencils and Kfirs additional weaponsstations and I removed some instruments, that are useless here (Nozzle- and Shockcone Position).
 
* A-4F_74 cockpit, which is slightly modified by me. It now has a HUD and the Radarscreen is used for the ARBS. Although it was not actually installed in real planes, it is added for playability.
Also the HUD is rather small, but works.
 
Included are Hangar- and Loadingscreens in 1920x1080 by default and 1024x768 as option. Just open the planes ini-files and you see what you have to change.
 
There's a readme included. Feel free to read it! :)
 
 
Installation
============
1. unzip to a temporary folder
2. open "Put_Content_In_Your_Mod folder" and do as you were told, if asked to overwrite, say 'yes' :P
3. enjoy!

Mirage IIIB
 
The Armée de l'Air also ordered a two-seat Mirage IIIB operational trainer, which first flew in October 1959. The fuselage was stretched about a meter (3 ft 3.5 in) and both cannons were removed to accommodate the second seat. The IIIB had no radar, and provision for the SEPR rocket was deleted, although it could carry external stores. The AdA ordered 63 Mirage IIIBs (including the prototype), including five Mirage IIIB-1 trials aircraft, ten Mirage IIIB-2(RV) inflight refueling trainers with dummy nose probes, used for training Mirage IVA bomber pilots, and 20 Mirage IIIBEs, with the engine and some other features of the multi-role Mirage IIIE. One Mirage IIIB was fitted with a fly-by-wire flight control system in the mid-1970s and redesignated 'Mirage IIIB-SV (Stabilité Variable); this aircraft was used as a testbed for the system in the later Mirage 2000.

SF2 WW2 MTO Tomahawk IIB (RAF) Pack 5/01/2015
 
-- Something for the WW2 MTO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: this mod is most likely =NOT= usable in 1stGen installs at any patch level. This may be due to the use of a 'late model' cockpit.*
**Notex2: this mod is designed for use ONLY in a MTO-Centric mods folder**
 
This package contains a SF2 version of Raven's P-40B/C Tomahawk, as used by the RAF and Commonwealth squadrons in the Western Desert and Palestine. While considered a 'beta', the aircraft is 100% all there. As I understood it, the beta tag is ONLY because the cockpit was never finished. In that light, I've substituted one of Stary's Generic Cockpits ™.
 
The skins included are:
 
No 112 Squadron
No 250 "Sudan" Squadron
No 4 Squadron (SAAF)
No 3 Squadron (RAAF)*
 
As seen in Palestine, Egypt and the Western Desert.
All but No 3 RAAF are finished in standard "day desert'. *No 3 RAAF is painted in standard "temperate day", as seen in Europe. I was unable to determine when (or even IF) 3 Squadron RAAF repainted their aircraft to the desert scheme, but thought it would be a nice change. One can always swap out the skins for the desert versions.
No 3 RAAF was one of the earliest in the MTO to use them in Palestine against Vichy forces, but the SF2 date switch is NOT used on it, or any of the others. Other squadrons can be created by simply making a new squadron letters decal.
Skins maps remain in their bmp format.
All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. All aircraft use a 'pool' of plane-in-squadron letters and serial numbers. Excepting 112 Squadron, where all serials ARE 100% historically correct. The others, while correct for this mark, are to be considered generic in nature.
The Hangar screen is a revamped Sf2 version of my original "AvArt". All sounds, drop tank and pilot figure are included. Guns & RAF bombs are not, as they're available in the various WW2 Weapons and Guns Packs. Service dates are rounded to "whole months". The canopy operates with the Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0.
 
When in-game, you'll see
 
Tomahawk IIB (Raven)
 
This will diferentiate it from Wolf's Tomahawk mod. In fact, =THIS= mod is designed to replace, completely, any and all earlier versions.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!
 
Good Hunting!!

UH-34 Skin Template
-------------------------
In this package you will find 2 psd i made to create new skins.
 
These are not actual templates per se, you will not find any panel lines layer for example.
 
I just duplicated the original skin, and changed hue/saturation/luminosity (CTRL+U, using photoshop) in order to get the proper tone.
Paste a new layer over it, containing the internals of the original skin and Voilà...!
 
I included 3 layers with different hues (blue, white and yellow).

SF2 WW2 AVG "Flying Tigers" Tomahawk Pack V.2 5/2/2015
 
-- Something for the CBI players --
 
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*There is a possibility that this mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, due to the excessive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment. This mod is designed to REPLACE, in its entirety, the one based on Wolf's Tomahawk. See Install instructions for more information.*
 
**Notex2: These aircraft should ONLY be used in a seperate CBI-centric mods folder to prevent them from showing up where, historically, they shouldn't. The Aircraft & GroundObject sets for CBI are substantially different from Central or SouthWest Pacific areas.**
 
This is a re-compilation of Baltika's beautiful P-40B/C Tomahawk "Flying Tigers" Pack for use in CBI-based WW2 installs. It has been converted for use on Raven's P-40B/C. Consider this as 'Version 2'.
 
It contains 99.9% Historically Accurate ™ serial numbers, Individual aircraft numbers and squadron markings.
This mod creates a seperate, nationalized version, called "Tomahawk_AVG". Be sure your WW2 Nations ini contains the 'country', AVG!
 
This pak contains skins/decals for:
 
1st Pursuit "Adam & Eves"
2nd Pursuit "Panda Bears"
3rd Pursuit "Hell's Angles"
 
All markings, excepting squadron color bands, are decals. Decal Randomization is TRUE. All items, sounds, pilot figure, excepting guns, are included. Provisions have been allowed for use of a drop tank, but all research indicates the AVG never used (or had!) them. Also, no bombs are carried. Any ground attacking will be 'guns only'. The canopy operates with the Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0.
As Raven't Tomahawk is considered a beta, due to the cockpit being unfinished, this mod uses one of Stary's 'Generic Pits'.
 
Operational service dates for the aircraft have been limited to the actual spread; 12/21/41 - 7/4/42. To that end, Userlist.ini was created to help 'lock them in'. (it is known however, that some of the AVG Tomahawks DID operate with the newly formed 23rd FG, when taken under USAAF control).
 
When in game you'll see
 
Tomahawk AVG (Raven)
 
on the aircraft selection drop down. This will diferentitate it from the original, based on Wolf's Tomahawk.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them =BEFORE= installing, but (duh!) after unzipping. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Baltika's original readme for the Flying Tigers Mod is included for historical purposes.

Republic F-84M Thunderstreak for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
 
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-84F to give a fictional F-84M Thunderstreak of the Royal Australian Air Force with markings for No.76 Squadron (NMF/Silver) and No.1 Squadron (Camo). The camo skin becomes default from 1964 but can be selected earlier.
 
 
BACKSTORY
 
The swept-wing Republic F-84F Thunderstreak was an important fighter-bomber for the United States and her NATO allies and after a troubled development and delays in production the Thunderstreak programme soon recovered and, with massive orders to fulfill, the Farmingdale production line was supplemented by a second production line outsourced to General Motors at Kansas City. When the last straight-winged F-84G Thunderjet rolled off the Farmingdale production line on July 27th, 1953 production of the newer aircraft stepped up sharply and was boosted by the employment of several subcontractors including Kaiser Metal Products, Servel and Goodyear Aircraft.
 
Republic Aviation then started a self-financed project to replace the F-84F and RF-84F family and Alexander Kartveli's design team settled on a large, single-engined fighter-bomber initially known as the AP-63FBX (Advanced Project 63 Fighter Bomber, Experimental) but later to become the legendary F-105. Designed primarily for supersonic, low altitude penetration the F-105 was capable of delivering a single nuclear bomb carried in a small internal weapons bay and an enthusiastic United States Air Force soon rewarded Republic with a production order contract for 199 aircraft in September 1952. However, the expected end of the Korean War forced the United States Air Force to reduce their order to just 46 aircraft before cancelling the entire programme at the end of 1953 but then reinstating the programme in June 1954 with a small order for 15 F-105 aircraft (two YF-105A's, four YF-105B's, six F-105B's and three RF-105B's).
 
Faced with such uncertainty, Republic Aviation looked at ways of keeping the F-84F in production and focused on tackling the F-84F's mediocre flight performance and especially the poor takeoff performance with a more powerful engine. Kartveli quickly dusted down a previous study of fitting the Rolls-Royce Avon engine into the F-84F and with this fine engine being of a similar size as the Sapphire/J65 but now rated at 10,000lbs of dry thrust Kartveli looked no further than an F-84F modified to accept the Avon engine. The new version also incorporated several refinements learned from service experience such as stainless steel control rods and an improved all-flying tail that almost removed the vicious stall characteristics of the F-84F. Designated by Republic Aviation as the F-84M the new aircraft was marketed aggressively as a dedicated tactical fighter-bomber and soon picked up orders from Canada and Australia with the latter operating their F-84M's in action over Vietnam in 1964 and 1965.
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-84M folder into your main Aircraft folder.
 
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-84M folder into your main Decals folder.

SF2 "Aces over Vietnam" Hi-Res Silver Border 1024x768 Menu Screens and Music!
By Viper
 
Special thanks to Homefies, Spectre8750, Stary and eburger68 for their contributions to Combatace!
 
This mod includes custom "vietnam Era" themed menu screens, pilots and (w/ 60s) music. This package also contains optional/alternate/upgraded Campaigns screens for both stock and expansions. There are many alternate screens in the Menu folder, so take a look and if you like some thing better, rename them to default names and use them instead.
 
If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up your CAMPAIGNS, FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
Also note: If you are able - meaning, if you don't already have something in the Menu folder that you want to keep or is needed by some other mod you installed. It would be better to "Rename" your original Menu folder and let this package installs cleanly. Only if you can...
 
*** To install...
 
Note: My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Vietnam\
 
1) Backup/Copy your CAMPAIGNS, FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in your StrikeFighter2 Vietnam mod folder.
 
2) Uncompress the new Menu package and browse the content. As usual, there are alot of alternate screens in the Menu folder you may like better.
 
3) Copy the FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in your StrikeFighter2 Vietnam mod folder.
 
*** Optional Campaigns screens...
 
1) The "Campaigns" folder contain new images for the Stock Vietnam Campaigns. This is optional, but I think they look better than the stock pix. Copy the Campaigns folder into your StrikeFighter2 Vietnam mod folder.
 
2) The "!Optional" folder contain new images for the Vietnam Expand Air and Ground War. Read the "Read-Me" in that folder for more detail. Copy the Campaigns folder from the !Optional folder into your StrikeFighter2 Vietnam mod folder.
 
That's it...
 
*** To Uninstall...
 
1) Delete the CAMPAIGNS, FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders and restore the ones you backed up.
 
That's it!
 
Enjoy!

This addon works only with my WeaponPACK (included in rar file). All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
 
Standard commands for activating Loach features:
 
 
LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. Don't forget to retract before shooting.
 
 
ANIMATION 10 - Show/hide doors. If ever you will fly in cold enviroment and feel uncomfortable, you can fly with front doors instaled, It doesn't do anything. And will not help you. It's just for different look in winter.
 
ANIMATION 1 - 'NVG'
 
 
You can realy fly low and slow. It needs practice.
I am sugesting to fly low on 40-50% of throttle. around 45degree vector control, use pulse rudder to control left right, it is realy easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
Important here is to use rudder and vector thrust control.
 
Fuel. Remeber it is small chopper. And it can carry only around 54 US Gals of fuel. I belive it is enough for around 2 hours of flight here maybe little more.
 
Skins.
All serial numbers as far as I know are based on photos and arehistoricaly correct.
 
Two birds flew during operation Urgent Fury 68-17191 and ...(dont rememr right now second bird number).
 
Weapons.
XM27 – M134 Minigun
M260 7 tube rocket launcher. First years of operation with mk40 rockets and later Mk66 rockets.
Since M260 could fire Mk40 and Mk66 rockets here are two types. Early ears older and later new hydra rockets.
 
There is no gunsight for this helo. Acording to one of the pilots they were using "grease pencil mark on the windscreen, . And practicing shooting this way ". So here it is embeded to windshield. During night with 'nvg' it will glow a little.
 
Enjoy and have fun.
Jope everything works fine.
Report bugs. Will fix ASAP.
 
More six guns and night stalkers will follow.

SF2 WW2 PTO P-40B/C Tomahawk (USAAC) Pack 5/01/2015
 
-- Something for the WW2 PTO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: this mod is most likely =NOT= usable in 1stGen installs at any patch level. This may be due to the use of a 'late model' cockpit.*
 
**Notex2: this mod is designed for use ONLY in a PTO-Centric mods folder**
 
This package contains a SF2 version of Raven's P-40B/C Tomahawk, in use by the USAAC just before, and during, the opening months of The Pacific War. While considered a 'beta', the aircraft is 100% all there. As I understood it, the beta tag is ONLY because the cockpit was never finished. In that light, I've substituted one of Stary's Generic Cockpits ™.
 
The skins included are:
 
47th PS, 15th PG, Bellows Field, Hawaii, December 1941 "Pearl Harbor Defender"
20th PS, 24th PG, Phillipines, December 1941
DOD41 - representative of aircraft from August to November 1941
 
Skins maps remain in their bmp format. The SF2 'date switch' is NOT used on any of these skins.
All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. The Hangar screen is a revamped Sf2 version of my original "AvArt". All sounds, drop tank and pilot figure are included. Guns are not, as they're stock items. Service dates are rounded to "whole months". The canopy operates with the Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0. Be advised, this aircraft has a short service life, as the E models were already in service when the US entered the war.
 
When in-game, you'll see
 
P-40B/C Tomahawk (Raven)
 
On the aircraft selection drop-down. This will diferentiate it from Wolf's P-40B/C mod. In fact, =THIS= mod is designed to replace, completely, any and all earlier versions.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!

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.
 
Credits
TW for the game.
Fastcargo and everyone included in the credits of the original F-111 Pack
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.

Yours truly for the skins
 
 
 
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.
