Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

StrikeFighter2 Hi-Res 1024x768 Stock Campaign Images Upgrade!
By Viper
 
This mod includes replacements for ALL (that's right, ALL) stock campaign images from SF2 to SF2NA. I extracted the MENUDATA.CAT and upgraded all the images I found there. Then I used the Mission.ini and text files to rebuild the "Campaigns" folders! So, this should be complete unless I missed something. If I did, let me know. No other (Hangar, Loading) images or INI files are changed.
 
1) UNZIP the file and preview the new images. I recommend doing this as there are some alternate images I have in there that you might like better.
 
2) BACKUP your "Campaigns" folder so you can restore your original set up if you don't like this mod.
 
3) INSTALL/COPY the "Campaigns" folder into your disired StrikeFighter2 "Saved Game" folder.
 
My Win97 folders were..(yours may be different)...
 
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2\

C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Israel\

4) When/if asked, choose overwrite on any conflicts.
 
That's it! Enjoy!

Fixed decals and skins. Recommend deleting all the other skins and using these to get rid of excess files.
Added missing drop tanks and added Ravenclaws weapons.
This package is beta and to be honest we are all sick of looking at it. So here is the deal. You find something wrong and the community agrees, send it to me and I will keep the package updated. We just need fresh eyes on it. There is a new pit by Brain32 that is amazing.

By Viper
 
This mod includes custom StrikeFighter2 menu screens and pilots. No other (Hangar, Loading or Campaign) screens or INI files are changed. You should unzip the file and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better.
 
If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up your MENU, FLIGHT 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.
 
To install, simply unzip and copy the Flight and Menu folder to your StrikeFighter2 Mod folder.

Aren't you tired at spending lots of your missions in the U.S.-sided campaigns of WoV flying a bomb truck, either trying to crush a handful of black pyjamas in the jungle, or to survive the vicious flak and SAMs over Hanoi? Don't you dream instead of a campaign completely devoted to interceptions, dogfights, the blazing air-to-air combat across the clouds over home country, facing a superior enemy that puts the challenge very high? So give a try to the Red side of the 'Nam! Such campaigns do exist at CombatAce, provided by eburger68, that makes the MiG interceptors flyable. Now I do provide the faces behind your cockpit, and the awards for your guts.
 
This mod provides you with a large panel of decorations for the Vietnam People's Air Force. Lots of pilots pics have also been added, with Soviet hard helmet for the MiG-21 pilots, and soft leather skullcap for the MiG-17/-19 pilots.
 
The complete list of your available decorations is displayed here:
 

VPAF :


 

Order of Ho Chi Minh



Hero of the People's Military



Order of the Military (3 Classes, each one awarded only once)



Victory Order (3 Classes, multiple awards possible)



Glorious Soldier Order (3 Classes, each one awarded only once)



Resistance Order (2nd Class)



Resistance Medal (2nd Class)



Glorious Soldier Medal



Uncle Ho Badges (multiple awards possible)

SF2 WW2 MTO Spitfire Mk.IX, Polish Fighting Team Skinpak 1/8/2015
 
-- Something for the Med players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*This mod will NOT work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level. One should also have the SF2I expansion pak, that gave us the Spitfires, as this mod REQUIRES the 3W Spitfire Mk.IX,
 
This package contains a new skin for MTO (specificly Tunisian) based RAF Spitfire Mk.IXs. It represents
 
"C" Flight, No. 145 Squadron, aka "Polish Fighting Team"
 
All marking are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE for the 16 plane-in-squadron and serial number decals. Serial numbers marked with a star (*) are 100% historically matched to their plane-in-squadron number. Those marked with a cross (+, ok the plus sign!), while having served with the PFT, could not be matched to a specific aircraft. Those without any markings, are 'generic'. It should be noted, that the PFT used numbers, instead of letter for their individual IDs.
Please note, this is just the skin/decal set. I've not included any of the bits needed to make the aircraft Player Flyable ™. There's plenty of other mods that do this.
 
When in game, on the Loadout Screen, you'll see
 
Polish Fighting Team (145 Sqdn)
 
in the upper right skin selection drop down.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
 
Good Hunting!

This is a mod of Mirage Factorys F-5E Tiger II to make it look like a fictional plane for the US air force.
 
BACKGROUND:
 
The need for a fast, agile and versatile attack plane led to the construction of this plane. The R&D department of Northrop Grumman went a more unorthodox way: They took the F-5E Tiger II contruction plans and started modyfing some of the parts and remodeling the fuselage, wings and interior fuselage ompartments. The improvements were astonishing, even for the engineers from Northrop Grumman. The entire hull is composed of a titanium alloy coating a skeleton of carbon fibre and a steel/titanium alloy, making possible a high loadout both under the wings and fuselage.
 
General Electric improved the former engines of this plane replacing the injection system, using less parts and reducing the weight of the engines by using different materials. This improvements lets the engine develop more than 30% dry and wet thrust than before.
 
Also the avionics and the radar got modified enabling the use of the most air-air and air-ground-weapons. The radar used is the AN/APG-70V1.
 
This made necessary the removal of the left gun leaving the muzzle there for cooling purpose of the new and advanced electronic equipment. The right gun was replaced with a 20mm M61A1-Gatling Gun.
 
The "TacTiger" made its maiden flight on the 18th of October of 2011 and entered service in 2012.
 
The Upgrade Includes :
 
- AN/APG-70V1 AESA RADAR
- NEW AVIONICS
- ATFLIR TARGETING POD
- AN/ALQ-13 NAVIGATION POD
- IFF SYSTEM
- NEW ENGINES
- NEW FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
- ENHANCED FLIGHT MODEL
- JHMCS PILOT
- NEW ECM JAMMING SYSTEM
 
ARMAMENT :
 
- AIM-9X SIDEWINDER
- AIM-120C AMRAAM
- ALL GPS GUIDED BOMB TYPES
- GBU-12D PAVEWAY 500LB LASER GUIDED BOMB
- GBU-24B PAVEWAY II 2000LB LASER GUIDED BOMB
- AGM-65G MAVERICK TV GUIDED MISSILE
- L003 ECM JAMMING POD
 
 
INSTALLATION:
Simply drop the Folders into your Strike Fighters Mods Folder.
 
 
CREDITS:

BELL AH-1Q COBRA Ver 1.0
--------------------------------------------------------
 
 
This is a third party add on of the AH-1Q Cobra using models and cockpits created by me.
The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
I have just modified it a bit.
 
It is designed for and works in the SF1 and SF2 series.
However this pack is build on SF1 folder tree.
For SF2 You have to separete Decals folders.
There is a plenty of tutorials how to convert to SF2 series.
 
There is a issue with tractorbeamshadow. I will try to fix this asap.
For now temporary i dont have posibility to convert and work on SF2 sim. Temporary.

******************IMPORTANT******************
 
This addon works only with my WeaponPACK.
 
For this Q model you should download standard weapon pack for AH-1G.
You can download it here:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/15215-ah-1g-weaponpack/
New weapons specific for this model are already included in this package.
 
All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with Cobra WeaponPACK.
 
Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
 
AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
 
ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
 
LANDING GEAR - belly light deploy/retract at any speed in late models
- nose lights activate/deactivate in early model. Lights must on.
 
A2A mode - gunner station guncross for turret.
 
A2Ground mode - pilot M73 cross.
 
ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
 
ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
 
ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
 
ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
 
 
For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
 
When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
 
There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
 
Outboard TOW pylons. You can load 4 or 8 BGM-71 Missiles. Upper M65 launcher is made as StationGroupID=3 and lowwer M65 launcher is StationGroupID=4. Either you can load only on upper launcher or both lower and upper.
Of course loading onl on lower without upper will look silly. But this is thirdwire game engine. We can't change it. Unfortunately in loadout menu option for 2 BGM-71 will appear. Well i don't know how to limit station to load only on weapon rack. Do not use it also. It doesn't look good. And missile has no launching tube.
 
Guns are loaded as weaponstations so player got options.
 
 
For updates visit on:
strikechoppers.wordpress.com
 
There is skin only for 11 ACR in Europe. Well Q was upgraded to S(MOD) quickly so not much info to find about Q in units.
All serial numbers are proper for Q model but am not sure if these numbers appeared in 11th ACR.
15086 for sure was there.
 
 
This pack contains already weapons folder. There you will find 2 new weapons and one weapon rack for this Q model Cobra.
BGM-71A
BGM-71B
TOW launcher tubes.
 
Also you have to download my WeaponPACK for AH-1G so this helo can work properly. Otherwise there will be no rocket pods, guns etc.

Guardians of the GUIK Gap
Submarine Hunters of the Atlantic
 
Year: 1979
Flyable Services: French Navy
Carrier Operations: Yes
Naval Combat: ASW / Convoy Attacks
Ground War Scale: None
What to expect: A lot of flying over Open Water looking for Subs.
 
September 1979.
As the Soviet Army invades West Germany, an entire division of Soviet Airborne troops parachute onto Iceland.
 
As the US Navy moves to recapture the Island (Operation Northern Sabre) the French is asked by NATO to guard the GIUK Gap against Soviet Forces.
 
As a Alizé pilot, you are to prevent any submarines from attacking the Clemenceau, sink enemy transports bringing reinforcements to Iceland
and work alongside your squadron to secure victory for NATO in this vital sector.
 
Honneur, patrie, valeur, discipline!
 
Please note:
This campaign is best played with visual and targeting aids on difficult setting. It becomes a tad too easy otherwise.
 
Installation:
This mod requires Strike Fighters 2 North Atlantic and Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam OR French F-8E (FN) Crusader DLC.
 
Install into the Strike Fighters 2 Mod Folder of your choice, usually found at
C:\Users\YOURNAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFigthers2
 
While this Campaign and assets are made to work together with other minor campaigns and mods, I cannot guarantee
compatibility. Allow overwrites or use a separate folder.
 
For credits, please read (and actually do it too!) the file named "Credits". I could not do what I do
without all these talented people!

Dassault Mirage 5PA for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
 
This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire Dassault Mirage 5F to give a Mirage 5PA in service with the Pakistan Air Force and with markings for the Combat Commanders' School and also for No.25 squadron. Photographs show many changes during the lifetime of the PAF's Mirage 5PA's so this can only be regarded as generic and a snapshot in time.
 
Both the Mirage 5F and the Nesher cockpit are needed for this mod.
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Mirage5PA folder into your Aircraft folder.
 
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Mirage5PA folder into your Decals folder.
 
3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_PAF into your Pilots folder.

Version 2 - 04/01/2015
Version 1 - 17/03/2010

The Blackburn Firebrand was a single-engine strike fighter for the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy during World War II by Blackburn Aircraft. Originally intended to serve as a pure fighter, its unimpressive performance and the allocation of its Napier Sabre piston engine by the Ministry of Aircraft Production for the Hawker Typhoon caused it to be redesigned as a strike fighter to take advantage of its load-carrying capability. Development was slow and the first production aircraft was not delivered until after the end of the war. Only a few hundred were built before it was withdrawn from front-line service in 1953.
 
So the Firebrand T.F. Mk 5 (124 new and T.F. Mk IV upgraded) served with 813 and 827 NAS on Illustrious, Implacable, Indomitable and Eagle carriers, or at some bases like Ford or Culdrose from 1947 until 1953, when Wyvern arrived.
 
 
What's in:
 
- a new plane (*);
- 6 new / upgraded skins;
- Historical decalsets;
- open canopy 10 key auto closing at take off;
- cockpit from Wyvern;
- weapons
- sound;
- New screens;
- loadout.tga;
 
 
 
Notes:
 
 
(*) This not a complete plane: you need the lod files from A-TEAM site.
You will found the Firebrand T.F. Mk IV in beta section.
 
 
Credits:
 
 
- All to A-TEAM
- Skippybing - pit
- Paulopanz - Skins, Decals,edits;
 
Install:
 
- copy Firebrand_G2-R0b.lod file in Firebrand filder inside the icluded mod folder
- all mod folder content in your mod install
- overwrite
 
 
Known Issues:
 
 
as this a beta (unifinished) model it has several issues.
 
 
- 4 unmapped meshes (TDoor_R/L; RadiatorFlap_R/L) patched via decals;
- uncorrect wingfold, as the real one was like Firefly (coming soon ...);
- the right gear at take off is outside the relative door;
 
Maybe it could be finished ... but we can use it very well too.
 
 
The FM was edited to me to allow the plane to fly.
A specialist (who said Baffmeister or Cliff?) should take care of this bird.
 
 
I love british carrierborne planes of any kind.
 
 
That's all
 
 
Enjoy

McDonnell Douglas F-4B 'COAN' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
 
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-4B_67 to give a fictional Phantom F-4B 'COAN' as it might have appeared in service with the Comando de Aviación Naval Argentina and includes fictional markings for;
 
1st Escuadrilla Aeronaval de Caza y Ataque (1st Fighter/Attack Squadron).
 
3rd Escuadrilla Aeronaval de Caza y Ataque (3rd Fighter/Attack Squadron).
 
This little update introduces folderised decals, a new Pilot figure and a modern Argentinian aircraft carrier which looks suspiciously like the CVA-63 Kittyhawk to me. This carrier is optional and you should really only use it if you have Strike Fighters:North Atlantic.
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-4B_COAN folder into your Aircraft folder.
 
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-4B_COAN folder into your Decals folder.
 
3. From the GROUND OBJECTS folder drag and drop the BernardinoRivadavia folder into your Ground Objects folder.*
 
4. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_COAN into your Pilots folder.
 
5. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the AM39 folder into your Weapons folder.
 
* You'll really need to add 'ArgentineNavy' to the limited nations section of the ICELANDNA_NATIONS data.ini (which you'll need to extract). Doing this yourself will allow you to align the Argentine Navy to a 'colour' of your choice.
 
 
CREDITS
 
As always, thanks to TK for a great little game/sim.
 
Thanks to Ravenclaw007 for the AM39 Exocet missile - as soon as I saw the textures I knew who to thank!

67th FBS, 18th FBW (in it's mid-1953 markings)
 
35th FBS
36th FBS
80th FBS, 8th FBG (Wing?)
 
All skins are in jpg format, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. Almost all markings
are decals, excepting Squadron/Group/Wing markings on the tails and/or nose.
These are painted on.
The serial/buzz numbers are 75-80% historically accurate. In each skin's Number.lst, those marked with a
star (*) are 100% matched to their unit. Those marked with a cross (ok, the plus
sign, +) served with that Group/Wing, but could not be matched to a particular
squadron. Those with no mark, are 'generic' F-86F-30 serials
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included.
So, please read them.
 
Good Hunting!

A-4F Skyhawk, VA-164 'Ghost Riders' Vietnam 1973 Skinpack
 
*** SF2V required for A-4F-model, tested in full 5-merged installation ***
 
The skin represents A-4Fs from VA-164 'Ghost Riders' in 1973 aboard the carrier USS Hancock in Vietnam.
All BuNo are correct for this squadron, but unfortunately I couldn't find the correct assignment for all modex to BuNo.
 
This pack contains another version of "Lady Jessie", this time the wellknown version with big letters on the fuselage. In 1973 VA-164 was on another combat-cruise in Vietnam. Carrier Air Wing CVW-21, which VA-164 was part of, was tasked with the responsibility, to develop expertise in unique mission types. For example VA-55 was tasked with Iron Hand missions, while VA-164 was to develop tactics to use Laser Guided Weapons at its best. Some A-4F were equipped with Laser Spot Trackers instead of the ususal Radar in the nose, so that LGBs could be used on designated targets. As these were only trackers, a special Designator was needed. For that case, 2 TA-4F were borrowed from USMC squadrons. A 2nd crewmember with a handheld-device to designate the targets was placed on the 2nd seat. Those people were volunteers from other squadrons, that usually flew E-1B or RF-8/F-8. As the handheld-device had to be held steady for a proper designation while the plane was flying, it was a not well-like job to do. But in the end, it proved successful and led to the development of build-in laserdesignators.
 
The pack consists of 2 parts:
 
- a skin for the stock A-4F, which cannot use laser-guided bombs (LGB). So this is only for the looks. Select the skin in the loadout-screen of the stock A-4F.
 
- a modification of the stock A-4F to use LGB. Ingame you will find a new plane - "A-4F (Laser Spot Tracker)" to choose. It also has a different gunsight and shows laser designated targets. For the laser-designator you have 2 options. First is to use the plane as is, meaning, you only can use LGBs on primary targets as they're always designated. The radarscreen is just black in that case, because the planes didnt have a radar anymore. Second, you use the Laser designator from the loadout screen and can use LGBs on every target. I included a modified AVQ-23 (modded from the stock one) for that purpose. It is not shown externally and is a compromise for playability-reasons. The radar-screen shows the target if you have selected one.
 
Planes marked with * are the LST-equipped ones (401, 407, 411, 413, 414), which have the different nosecone. 401 and 407 are confirmed by pictures, the other 3 are in for a good mix. There were more than 2 of them, but I couldn't find more numbers or other pictures.

SF2 WW2 MTO Spitfire Mk.V LF Pak by Cocas & Co 12/28/2014
 
-- Something for the Med players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*This mod will NOT work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level. One should also have the SF2I expansion pak, that gave us the Spitfires, as this mod references that stock 3W destroyed Spitfire model*
Note x2: This mod represents Mk.V LFs in the MTO =ONLY=. Please note, it is NOT a Trop!
 
This is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co.
We are calling this "version 0.9", as there exists the possibility of more work being required. But, we wanted to get them out into the hands of our WW2 End Users ™ for their examination and so forth. It was supposed to be released in the early part of 2014 (Feb/March), but I totally forgot about it!!
Skins included with the package are:
RAF:
 
No. 601 Squadron
 
All marking are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Other squadrons can easily be done by creating new squadron code letters. An SF2 version of my "box art" style hangar is included.
The serial numbers, while 'generic' in nature (representing no particular aircraft in any given squadron), ARE correct for the variant depicted.
The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0. Guns are also grouped, MGs in Group 1, the cannon in Group 2.
 
When in game, you'll see:
 
Spitfire Mk.Vc LF (CAF)
 
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate =THIS= Spitfire from any other LF Mk.Vs you may (or may not) have.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
 
Good Hunting!
