Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

The Second World War is long since over and the Swedish Empire has managed to stay neutral despite provocations from both sides. As The United States and Soviet Union are busy with each other, there is the time and place to settle an old score, the sworn enemy since centuries past. Now reduced to only controlling the most vital strategic asset in the Atlantic Ocean, the Swedish Navy has been given their orders - The Kingdom of Denmark must be erased from the face of the earth and control of Iceland given to the Swedish Empire - By God and Victorious arms!
 
A/N: So I got a little bored waiting for assets for the almost complete Expansion Pack 1 and decided that I had to pay a little tribute to the fact that Sweden and Denmark
has the dubious honour of holding the record of most wars fought between them. So I decided on this little AU to have an excuse to launch a major Amphibious Invasion at Island. Total time from idea to completion was about 3 days. Have fun.
 
Installation:
This Mod requires SF2, SF2: Vietnam, SF2: Europe, SF2 Israel, SF2 North Atlantic, SF2 Expansion Pack 1 and SF2 Expansion Pack 2.
It has not been tested with anything less. It might work without SF2 and SF2 Israel but I really have no idea.
 
Unzip into Mod Folder. This mod is compatible with The Scandinavian Front 2 and TSF 2: Expansion Pack 1.
 
Notes:
Any person who may be responsible for the fact that Team TSF is not allowed to use the A-Team Saab 37 Viggen may not play this modification. If any breach of this rule occurs, I am at full liberty to mete out whatever punishment I deem fit. By downloading the modification, you agree to this condition.
 
Do check the Credits section. I cannot do what I do without the talented people who provide terrains, ground objects and aircraft for me to use.

The remaining Israeli Nesher aircrafts were refurbished and exported to the Argentine Air Force in two batches, 26 in 1978 and 13 in 1980, under the name Dagger, comprising 35 Dagger A single-seat fighters and 4 Dagger B two-seat trainers.
 
They formed a new unit, 6th Air Group, and were immediately enlisted with the help of the 8th Air Group (Mirage IIIEA) and the Peruvian Air Force, already a user of the Mirage 5, due to the escalating crisis with Chile of that year.
 
During the 1982 Falklands War, they were deployed to the southern naval airbase of Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego, and an airfield in Puerto San Julián and despite the distance to their targets and lack of aerial refueling capability, managed to make 153 sorties against both ground and naval targets on the 45 days of operations. In the last role, they damaged HMS Antrim, Brilliant, Broadsword, Ardent, Arrow and Plymouth. Eleven Daggers were lost in combat (nine by AIM-9L Sidewinders fired from Sea Harriers and two by surface to air missiles).
 
In the 1979 contract with IAI, the Argentine Air Force stipulated that the Daggers would be equipped with new avionics and HUD systems to take them to the Kfir C.2 (and beyond in some subsystems) standard. The program, named Finger, was underway in 1982 when the Falklands War broke out. With the war over, as some of these systems were made by the British Marconi Electronic Systems, they needed to be replaced after an arms embargo was imposed by the UK. The replacement of such systems took the planes to the final Finger IIIB standard mainly by replacing the British equipment with French-built Thomson-CSF.

Boeing AH-64A Peten mod Ver 1.0 for SF2
 
DISCLAIMER
----------
This is a third party add on of the AH-64A Apache using models and cockpits created by Dels.
Flight model and specific Israeli Peten mod was made by me.
 
It is designed for and works in the SF2 series of games.
 
This mod is made because of new upgraded Israel 2 Terrain by Wrench. - highly recommended by the way. Instead of working on Something Completely Different i was mixing with this great helo by Dels. So here it is.
 
AH-64A Peten mod is made as specific aircraft for Israel. Nation Name is changed to Israel and service start date set to 1990.
It was in my mind just simple mod (at the begining) but ended as little more complex. It is not perfect, but so far it works for now.
I have changed FM my way. So there is a lot of changes in data file.
It has a new engines system, new weapon stations, countermeasures and some other stuff.
I have also put life into TADS and PNVS. Just fun in external view.
And the most important thing is bumps, dispensers and whistles of Israeli Apache.
I wanted to make two paint versions so fake pilot is not much help here. So Peten mod is added by weaponstation. Anyway gun is always on board. So this is how it works here.
 
Some small changes into cockpit ini file.
Also new Fuel tanks (CARC green and IAF tan) are provided plus M260 and M261 rocket launchers with different warheads. (same as in Cobra packs)
 
Use vector thrust controll, rudder and controll throttle. It is easy to fly right now.
Still working on better FM.
 
WEAPONS
-------------
 
The AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and rails included in this package come from FastCargo's excellent "Hellfire and BrimStonefor SFP1/WOV/WOE (Version 1.1)".
All credit to FC for them, Dels have arranged them in folders for SF2 and made some minor .ini changes. Dels also made the AGM-114K Hellfire II using FC's AGM-114A model.
 
I made Hellfires as specific station code for IAF. Also skins are without US ARMY markings. So better to use this as it wil not overwrite anything in you weapons directory. Unless you named it same as me.
 
Hellfire rails are made by FastCargo. I just rename it. I had some issues with loadouts. So again here you should depend on loadout.ini file.
It always uses two rails upper M272 with two hellfires (up) and lower M299 (with two hellfires on bottom rails only)
I don't know why but on loadout with 4 hellfires on M299 - in game it was always 3 shown. Strange.
So to avoid conflicts with previous hellfire rails I made them as specific station code only for Peten.
 
I am always using Specific station code so I don't have mess in Loadout menu. I can only see weapons that I can/need to carry.
 
M260 and M261 Rocket launchers. There are two versions of these launchers CARC green and IAF Tan. Same as in my Cobra packs. You can overwrite (recomended). The only change here is display names. To avoid conflicts in loadout menu with previous launchers I changed CARCgreen to M260/M261.warhead.name.US and IAF Tan to M260/M261.warhead.name.IDF. You can overwrite. It wil still works with cobras and here with Peten and no mess with display names.
Launchers uses my Mk66 hydra rockets. Also here in pack. Same as in latest Cobra packs.
 
Important here is M230 ChainGun. It is a key to have a Peten mod for early green and late IAF camo.
Gun is loaded by weaponstation. Also coded.
 
New sound file for M230 is provided, with specific data entry into SOUNDLIST.ini.
 
Stingers are available for loadout but i did not put it into loadout.ini. I never seen IAF Apaches with Stingers. Not much hostile flyers there ?
No other IRM/ARM weapons allowed.
 
GUNS
-----------
30MM_M230 same as in original Dels package but with edited sound file name.
 
SKINS:
----------
113 Tayeset as they started to use Peten in 1990 and later also 190 Tayeset starting 1995.
190 Tayeset in new camouflaged tiger scheme from 2003/2004.
 
All serial numbers as far as I know are historicaly correct, based on available information and photos.
 
 
INSTALLATION
------------
Copy files to specific folders.
 
 
You can add the following to your squadronlist.ini
 
[squadron ---]
Name=113IAF
DisplayName=113 Tayeset "Ha'Tsira'a"
Nation=Israel
 
[squadron ---]
Name=190-2IAF
DisplayName=190 Tayeset "Maga Hakesem"
Nation=Israel
 
Higly recomended to use Diego's helopilots.
or you can use whatever you like by editing the
AH-64A_Data.ini
 
----------------------------------------------------------------
 
Hope I did not mess too much here.

A small trial :)

SF2 WW2 PTO Douglas P-70 Nighthawk (DAT) Tweeks Pak 4/24/2015
 
= For SF2 (Any, but Full 4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED/REQUIRED!) ONLY =
 
**This mod will -NOT- work in 1stGen game installs.**
 
This pak contains mods for the Dev A-Teams USAAF P-70 Nighthawk night fighter, as seen in the SoWesPac in 1943 thru 1944.
This is an INCOMPLETE aircraft mod, as the main aircraft lod is =NOT= included, as per DAT directives. If you cannot access their downloads, don't bother downloading THIS mod, as it will be of no use to you. All other parts are included.
See "Change Log" in the Notes section for more details and full credits.
 
This package contains 2 aircraft, each with 2 skins. While tagged for the 6th NFS, 18th FG, they should be considered 'generic' for all the squadrons (4, iirc, with never more than 6-8 aircraft each) operating in SoWesPac. All aircraft are finished in overall Black (or Night, if you will):
 
The 2 aircraft are:
 
P-70 (no suffix, with 20mm belly gun pack and 2 cheek 50 cals for sighting the 20s)
P-70A-1/-2 (with 6-gun A-20G type nose)
 
The Skins are:
 
Early, star-and-ball
Late, star-and-bar (after 10/43)
 
All markings (insignia, serials, etc) are decals. All skins are in jpg format. There are NO nose arts or other distinctive markings.
All new, 100% historical serial number decals were created. Both skins for each aircraft use the same pool of 18 serials. Decal randomization is TRUE.
The serials, while historically correct for the 2 versions depicted, should be considered generic in nature, as it's impossible to run down individual aircraft to a particular squadron.
The Late skins for both uses the SF2 "date switch", and will automatically turn on in October, 1943 (although, the early A model may have been withdrawn from service eariler, or converted at local modification centers to the 6-gun "G" type nose).
All skins are tagged as "6th NFS", even though at least 3 other units were operational in SoWesPac. Consider this a 'representative' unit.
Operational dates have been adjusted to closest whole month. The P-70 has an end date of 1/1944, and the A-1/-2 has a start date 7/1943 through 5/1944 when P-61s were deployed in theatre.
The radar "arrowhead" transmitter and "H" fuselage and "V" wing antennas have been added via the fake pilot method.
The cockpit hatch opens with the Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0. My 'box art' style Hangar screen is included, now is SF2 format.
 
When in game you'll see on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown
 
P-70
P-70A-1/-2
 
This is to diferentiate the cannon equipped version from the 6-gun nosed version.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!
It is HIGHLY suggested you unzip this archive FIRST, and =READ= the install instructions BEFORE installing this mod. So you know EXACTLY what to do. Of course, read the Notes section for notes, enlightments, and so forth.
 
Good Luck!

SF2 3W F-84F "Thunderstreak" USAF & ANG Skin Pak 5/17/15
 
-- For FULL-5 Merged SF2 WITH SF2E Expansion Pak 2!!! --
 
*Note: MUST have (whichever!) Expansion Pack gave use the F-84F Thunderstreak. IIRC, it was SF2E Expansion Pack 2*
 
Here are several new skins for the stock 3rd Wire F-84F Thunderstreak (this is the swept wing one, not the slab-winged C/D/E/G). These represent USAF and Air National Guard units in the 1950s through the A/Cs retirment in 1971 (ish). This packge ONLY contains skins and decals. I've not supplied any parts for you to make it Player Flyable ™. There are other mods that do that.
 
You have:
 
55th TFS, 20th FBW (1950s, based in the UK, in NM)
182nd TFS, Texas Air Guard (post-68 in SEA Camo)
119th TFS, New Jersey Air Guard (circa 1961-ish, in NM)
 
Most markings are decals, excepting the 55ths color bands. Decal randomization is TRUE. For the 55th, those numbers displaying a star (*) on the loadout screen (individual aircraft dropdown) are 100% historically correct for the unit. Those withOUT the star, while having served with the 20th FBW, could not be traced to a specific squadron.
The other two units use "generic" sets, either created by me, or in the case of the 119th, using stock 3W number decals.
The SF2 "date switch" is used for the 182nd, activating it automatically in 1969. By that time, all remaining American units HAD been swtiched to SEA camo.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them! And have fun!
 
Happy Landings!

This model represents the Kanimbla class, an amphibious transport in commission with the Royal Australian Navy from 1994 to 2011.
 
The Kanimbla and her sister ship Manoora were extensively modified Newport class landing ships transferred from the USN. While officially recommissioned in 1994, they did not enter RAN service until 1999 when the repairs and upgrades were finally completed.
 
The Kanimbla class has a large hangar for up to four helicopters, landing pads fore and aft, and an enormous crane capable of lifting 70 tons.
 
See the readme for full details. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

SF2 WW2 PTO Republic P-47D "Bubbletop" Thunderbolt (0.5 Beta) 12/15/2014
 
= For SF2 (Full4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED!)
 
*This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. It was built for SF2 ONLY!!.*
 
This is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co.
We are calling this "version 0.5 beta", as there are a few minor issues with the LOD, and these will repaired as Real Life ™ allows. But, we wanted to get them out into the hands of our WW2 End Users ™ for their examinations and so forth. See Notes below for a more detailed explaination.
 
REMINDER: this pack contains PTO Bubbletop Jugs =ONLY= !!! Other theatres/users will follow as time permits, and as they are completed.
 
This pak contains, as stated above, a NEW aircraft, representing the Bubbletop P-47D (-25 thru -30-ish) Thunderbolt as seen in 1944 through war's end.
 
Skin(s) included are:
 
41st FS, 35th FG (circa late 1944, Philippines)
 
All markings are decals, excepting the 41st's nose marking (which is painted on, as are the rudder stripes). Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
Damage textures are also new, in DDS format.
I'm trying out a 'new style' of hangar screen, so I hope you like it.
The canopy opens/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0
Pilots, sounds, weapons are all included.
 
As there are several P-74D Bubbletops available, when in game you'll see:
 
P-47D-25 Thunderbolt (CAF)
 
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate it from any others that you may (or may not) have.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, as usual, give the "Notes" section a read, too.
 
Happy Landings!

2 Fictional Sabres and 1 Fictional Fury for SF1
 
You will need columns5's FJ-3M Fury from here: http://combatace.com/files/file/525-fj-3m-fury-addon/
 
This pack contains files to convert the FJ-3M Fury to:
 
1 - A USN FJ-3B Attack Fury, a fictionalized version of the real USN FJ-4B Fury ground attack variant of the FJ-4 Fury - capable of carrying AGM-12B Bulpup Air-to-Ground missiles; Aero 7D_FFAR Pods; AIM-9B Air-to-Air Missles; various and sundry bombs, rocketpods, etc....
 
2 - An F-86B Attack Sabre. The USAF version of the above USN FJ-3B ground attack jet.
 
3 - An F-86G Sabre. The USAF version of the FJ-3M - 4x20mm nose guns and 2xAIM9B Air-to-Air missiles.
 
You will need to install the FJ-3M for each of the above planes you want to install. If you want to install all three planes, you will need to install the FJ-3M three times.
 
 
INSTALLATION:
Install the FJ-3M once and rename the installed FJ-3M folder to FJ-3B.
 
Install another FJ-3M and rename that folder to F-86B.
Install one more FJ-3M and rename that folder to F-86G.
Drop the corresponding folders from this pack into the newly created FJ-3B, F-86B and F-86G folders and overwrite the old files when asked.
 
 
To add extra pylons for the FJ-3B and F-86B I used ravenclaw_007's execellent F-86 Bomb Rack weapon from his Canadair CL-13B Mk6 Sabre early or Canadair CL-13B Mk6 Sabre late.
They can be found here: http://combatace.com/files/file/7387-canadair-cl-13b-mk6-sabre-late/ and here: http://combatace.com/files/file/7384-canadair-cl-13b-mk6-sabre-early/. Either one will do as they both have the F-86 Bomb Rack.
They are also both execllent planes and if you haven't flown them you are missing out on two of the best F-86 versions available at CA.
 
 
You must install the bomb rack as a weapon. The necessary lod's, ini's, weapon data entries and instructions are in ravenclaw_007's download.
 
 
You will need to ensure you have the necessary weapons, ie. AGM-12B, AIM-9B, Aero 7D_FFAR Pod, etc. Look in the *_loadout.ini files to see what weapons are needed. Most are found in common weapons packs or are already default weapons.
 
 
Included in this pack are the relevant .ini files to convert the FJ3M. Also included are an FJ-3B skin for VA-146, a real FJ-4B unit and two skins for the the F-86B/G models. VA-146 skin was created by me. The F-86 SEA skin was inspired by Dave's/Wrench's SEA F-86 skin.
 
 
Decals are, for the most part, default. They will depend on which SF1 install you put these planes in. You may end up changing some of the numbers.
 
 
Thanks to Dave "USAFMTL" Slavens for the idea. Years ago he created an FJ-4B fury from a FJ-3M. I found it at AVSIM while browsing the ancient Strike Fighters section.
Thanks to ravenclaw_007 for the F-86 Bomb Rack that makes the 'B models possible.
Thanks to Zur and column5 for the FJ-3M Fury.
And thanks to all those that have inspired and coached me to be able to do this.

SF2 F2H-3 Banshee Tweeks Pak -for Razbam Banshees 4/6/2015
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
***PLEASE NOTE!!! You must have the original Razbam Payware Banshee set for all the necessary items!!! If you can't purchase the item from the Razbam Store, do =NOT= download this mod; it will do you NO good. This package =ONLY= includes those items modded by me.***
 
This package contains a few (partly) repainted skin maps for the original skins. They now carry decals for Modex and BuNums.
These are =ONLY= for the F2H-3, as used in the mid thru late 1950s by the USN and RCN (1962-ish end date).
Included are new decals, decal inis, number lists, etc. The repainted skin maps are:
 
Fuselage_t
Main_t *
Wing2_t
 
*-VF-193 only*
 
You'll find all these items in their appropriate skin subfolders.
Skins remain in bmp format. Decal randomization is TRUE. All USN aircraft use a "pool" of BuNum decals. The BuNums, while correct for this model, should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent only the aircraft itself, not specific aircraft in any particular unit. The RCN skin 'bunums' are historic, but again, not matched to any particular aircraft
National insignia, and CVG code letters remain painted on, as is the RCN fin flash.
The SF2 'date switch is used for the VF-193 skin (gull grey/white), activating it in 1955.
The decals are set as 'randomized' for all skins.
 
Modified data, loadout, and main (F-2H2.ini) inis are included. The avionics and cockpit inis have had a few small adjustments, as has the data ini (see "Notes" for more information). A new SF2 userlist.ini has also been created. Operation dates (including export start and stop) have been adjusted to 'closest year'.
A brighter gunsight tgs is included as well. Shadows have been turned OFF, due to 'tractor beam' issues. NEW damage tgas are supplied as well.
It may be advisable for you to back up ALL the original inis, just for safetys sake.
 
When in game, you'll see
 
F2H-3 Banshee (Raz)
 
on the aircraft selection drop down menu.
The aircraft is carrier-capable (after a fashion -see "Notes"), with SF2NA coding for deck 'parking'.However, as the wings do =NOT= fold, you will probably NOT see them parked on the boat. HOWEVER... it has MAJOR issues in getting back on the boat under AI or Autopilot control. The FM needs to be completely overhauled (again, see "Notes").
 
The Standard Animation Keystroke ™ is used for the canopy, (Shift/0)
No weapons are included, using all stock in-game itmes. Nor are sounds, pilots, etc, included. These are Razbam copyright items, and are included in his package. Those that have NOT updated their pilot to the SF2 folderized standard, should do so soonest.
Further work is required by those FM Gurus to bring it all the way home. I've done what I can with it.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them BEFORE installing (but after unzipping, of course). Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. It, as usual, contain important operational information.
Full credits are listed in the usual place, down with the "Notes".
 
Good Hunting, and Happy Landings!
Wrench
Kevin Stein
 
Updated 4/18/2015:
 
changed round counts for guns
some adjustments to FM, will land on boat 8 times out of 10.

FJ-3M Fury Skins Pack 1 for SF1
 
You will need the columns5's FJ-3M Fury mod to Zur's F-86 Sabre for these skins here:
http://combatace.com/files/file/525-fj-3m-fury-addon/
 
Five FJ-3M Fury clean skins:
 
1 = VF84 - FJ-3M - Repaint of pappychksix/Wrench's VF-84 skin.
1 = VMF232 - FJ-3M - Semi-Fictional Repaint of David "USAFMTL" Slavens' FJ-4B DBF skin.
1 = VMF312- FJ-3M - Repaint of pappychksix/Wrench's VMF-312 skin.
1 = USN Blue Camo - Fictional - FJ-3M - Repaint of Mitch's F-86F_German skin.
1 = VMF122 - FJ-2 - Semi Fictional Repaint of VMF122 standalone skin I have but I don't know where I got it or who the original author is. If anyone know's whose skin this is, please tell me so I can credit them. VMF-122 actually used this skin on their FJ-3's. I wanted an FJ-2 Fury to compliment the Navy Blue Phantoms, Banshees, Skyraiders, etc. of the Korean War era. So I downgraded a FJ-3M to an FJ-2.
 
DECALS: These skins use a mixture of default and other Fury skin decals. As I can't release other peoples decals without their consent, you will need to find some of the decals in other Fury releases. PM me if you need help with these.
 
For the VF-84 and VMF-312 skins, use the decals from pappychksix's Fury Package here:
http://combatace.com/files/file/2255-fury-package/ ... OR ... Wrench's SF2 FJ-3M Package here: http://combatace.com/files/file/12233-fj-3m-fury-by-zur-and-co-for-sf2/
 
For the VMF232 skin I have NO idea where I got the decals to use for this skin. But probably from pappychksix/Wrench's Fury packs. Choose your own.
 
For the USN Blue Camo fictional skin, use which ever declas you like. I used TW default decals for my skin and probably some from pappychksix/Wrench's Fury packs.
 
For the VMF122 skin ... I have a stand alone VMF122 skin I repainted. I think I used the decals from this original skin. I used VMF232 numbers, but you can use whichever you wish. The problem is the original skin doesn't have a readme and I can't find where I got it from. Anyone who know's the original author please pm me where it can be found so I can post that information here.
 
These skins are fairly clean as I'm not very good at weathering so feel free to add your own dirt. To repaint some of these skins such as the VF-84, VMF232 and VMF312, I had to paint over the existing paint to eliminate the old panel lines and rivets. Unfortunately, this means I also painted over the great weathering on these skins. I apologize to the artists of the original skins.
 
They were made using my F-86 Sabre/FJ-3 Fury templates. They are in .bmp format, 2048x2048 for SF1 but they might work in SF2 with a bit of tweaking. You can of course make them smaller if your computer can't handle the large size. If you have trouble making them smaller, pm me and I'll see what I can do.
 
 
There is included a clean drop tank skin for those that wish to use it. Just drop it into your existing Tank_F86 weapons folder. Overwrite when asked. Also a clean skin for the FJ-2 Navy Blue VMF-122 Tank-FJ2.
 
INSTALLATION: Unzip to a folder/place of your choice. Copy, Move, Drag-n-Drop or do whatever you wish to get the skins folders into your FJ-3M aircraft folder. If you want the blue FJ-2 VMF-122 drop tank, you will have to add the Weapondata entry to your install's weapondata.ini and run the weapon editor. Drop the Tank_FJ2.bmp and Tank_FJ2.lod into your weapons folder.

F-86 Sabre Skins Pack 1 for SF1
Four F-86 Sabre clean skins:
1 = 3-tone Desert Camo - Fictional
1 = 2-tone Desert Camo - Fictional
1 = 3-tone SEA Camo - Semi-Fictional
1 = Silver - Non-Fictional
 
These skins are fairly clean as I'm not very good at weathering so feel free to add your own dirt.
 
They were made using my F-86 Sabre/FJ-3 Fury templates. They are in .bmp format for SF1 but they might work in SF2 with a bit of tweaking.
 
They use a mixture of default and other Sabre/Fury skin decals. As I can't release other peoples decals without their consent, you will need to find some of the decals in other Sabre/Fury releases.
 
There is included a clean skin for those that wish to use it. Just drop it into your existing Tank_F86 weapons folder. Overwrite when asked.
 
INSTALLATION: Unzip to a folder/place of your choice. Copy, Move, Drag-n-Drop or do whatever you wish to get the skins folders into your F-86 aircraft folder.

SF2 AD-4B Skyraider, KAW Era 4/15/2015
 
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Preferred) =
 
*Note: =MUST= have SF2:V as part of your merged install to access the A-1H lod used herein. This, like the other
KAW Skyraiders with the "_3W suffix, is based off the stock A-1H lod.*
 
The mod represents AD-4B Skyraiders during the Korean War. It should be noted, the -4B was equipped for "special weapons delivery", and was the primary type the USN had for this at the time. Of course, it carries all the conventional munitions as well, so standard mission tasking remains. 2 special loadouts are available through the 3W mission editor (see "Notes" for more details).
 
The skin herein represents:
 
VA-195 "Dambusters" aboard USS Princeton (CVA-37) circa 1952
 
The aircraft is finished is standard 1950s Dark Gloss Navy Blue. The skin is in jpg format. All markings are decals, excepting the green squadron color on the tail fin. Decal randomization is TRUE.
The BuNums, while correct for this model, are not specific to any squadron, and should be considerd 'generic' in nature.
Wingfold and canopy are controled via the Standard Animiation Keystrokes ™. Shift/9 for the wings, and Shift/0 for the window.
Most weapons are suppllied, including the low-yeild (8 kt) "special". The nuke effects are from the Gunny Pak, and I HOPE I've got all the pieces/parts in place; if not, you'll have to locate them yourselves from the Gunny Pak (or just intall the Effects from there). The other weapons used can be found in the KAW weapons pack.
 
On the Aircraft selection drop down, you'll see
 
AD-4B Skyraider (3W)
 
To differentiate it from the other -4s. The "3W" indicates use of the stock 3W lod.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....In fact, read them before installing, but after unzipping of course! This mostly pertains the effects used for the 'special weapon'.
 
Good Hunting!

SF2 AD-4N (Late) Skyraider, 1950s USN 4/12/2015
 
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full- Merged Prefered) =
 
*Note: must have SF2:V as part of your merged install to access the A-1H lod used herein. This, like several of the KAW Skyraiders with the "_3W suffix, is based off the stock A-1H lod.*
 
Something slightly different, for USN Skyraider squadrons in the mid-1950s. I basiclly did this as I got tired of seeing DGNB AD-4Ns parking on deck intermixed with Grey/White jets and such (even though that IS historically correct). But, some early models DID survive the switch, and operated in the Gull Grey/White. This is one of them...
 
The skin herein represents:
 
VA-216 "Black Diamonds" aboard USS Yorktown (CVA-10) circa 1956/57
 
The skin is in jpg format. All markings, excepting the tail Black Diamonds, are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE.The BuNums, while correct for this model, are not specific to any squadron, and should be considerd 'generic' in nature.
Wingfold and canopy are controled via the Standard Animiation Keystrokes ™. Shift/9 for the wings, and Shift/0 for the window.
All weapons used are stock in-game items, excepting the APS-31 radar pod and ALT-7 ECM pod.
I'm trying out a different "style" for the Hangar screen; I hope you like it.
 
On the Aircraft selection drop down, you'll see
 
AD-4N Skyraider (Late) (3W)
 
This will differentiate it from the -4NL and other -4 marks. The "3W" indicates use of the stock 3W lod.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
 
Good Hunting!

Boeing 767 model Star Wars R2D2 skin

SF2 F2H-4 Banshee Tweeks Pak -for Razbam Banshees 4/12/2015
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
***PLEASE NOTE: You must have the original Razbam Payware Banshee set for all the necessary items!!! If you can't purchase the item from the Razbam Store, do =NOT= download this mod; it will do you NO good. This package =ONLY= includes those items modded by me.***
 
This package contains a few (partly) repainted skin maps for the original skins. They now carry decals for Modex and BuNums.
These are =ONLY= for the F2H-4, as used in the mid 1950s through early 1960s by the USN and USMC.
Included are new decals, decal inis, number lists, etc. The repainted skin maps for the 2 original skins are:
 
Fuselage_t
Main_t
Wing2_t
 
You'll find all these items in their appropriate skin subfolders.
 
You are also getting 2 brand new skins, for the "early" paint schemes. They are:
 
VF-114 (NM)
VMF-533 (DGNB)
 
This was done because the 2 original skins are for AFTER the switch to Gull Grey & White. The aircraft operations years predate this, and these skins were needed for histerical accuracy.
These 2 skins carry no painted on marking, other than the star-and-bar (and the fin top color for VF-114), making it a fairly easy proposition for other texture artists to create other units via decals for CVG letters or Modex numbers (and painting out or changing the color of the fin topper).
Skins remain in bmp format. Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins. All aircraft use a "pool" of BuNum decals. VMF-533 uses the same numbers, but residing in their own folder, as they are white in color. The BuNum decals, while correct for this model, should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent only the aircraft itself, not specific aircraft in any particular unit.
National insignia, and CVG code letters remain painted on for the originals.
The SF2 'date switch is used for the gull grey/white skins, activating them in 1956, for their respective services. The other 2 early skins will show when years BEFORE 1956 are selected.
 
Modified data, loadout, and main (F-2H2.ini) inis are included. The cockpit ini has had a few small adjustments, as has the data ini (see "Notes" for more information). A new SF2 userlist.ini has also been created. Operational dates (including export start and stop) have been adjusted to 'closest year'.
A brighter gunsight tgs is included as well. Shadows have been turned OFF, due to 'tractor beam' issues. NEW damage tgas are supplied as well.
It may be advisable for you to back up ALL the original inis, just for safetys sake (read: DO IT!!).
 
When in game, you'll see
 
F2H-4 Banshee (Raz)
 
on the aircraft selection drop down menu.
 
The aircraft is carrier-capable (after a fashion) with SF2NA coding for deck 'parking'.However, as the wings do =NOT= fold, you will probably NOT see them parked on the boat. More information in the "Notes" section.
The Standard Animation Keystroke ™ is used for the canopy, (Shift/0)
No weapons are included, using all stock in-game itmes. Nor are sounds, pilots, etc included. These are Razbam copyright items, and are included in his package. Those End Users ™ that have NOT updated their pilot to the SF2 folderized standard, should do so soonest.
Further work is required by those FM Gurus to bring it all the way home. I've done what I can with it.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them BEFORE installing (but after unzipping, of course). Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. It, as usual, contains important operational information.
Full credits are listed in the usual place, down with the "Notes".
 
Good Hunting, and Happy Landings!

SF2 WW2 Brooklyn Class Light Cruiser 4/8/2015
 
= For SF2 (Full5 Merged RECCOMENDED!)
 
This is a mod of Foxmonter's ARA General Belgrano BACK to it's original USN WW2 version (pretty much!).
Data ini edits remove the missile lauchers, but all gun aramament remains intact.
The skin has been repainted to remove any post-war markings, and decals created for the hull numbers and ship names.
It is as fully SF2NA compliant as we can make it!
Guns, sounds, and the hull decals are all included.
 
This version will NOT conflict with any other ships of this type (DAT), as unique identifiers have been used to seperate and differentiate them from each other.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, as usual, PLEASE!! give the "Notes" section a read, too.
 
Happy Landings!
