    1. SF2 Chengdu J-7 Fishbed Series Pak by Mod Mafia/TMF (v.2)

      By Wrench

      SF2 Chengdu J-7 Fishbed Series Pak by Mod Mafia/TMF (v.2)        11/12/2023
       
      = For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Full-5 Reccomended/Preferred) =
      An upgrade pack for the 3 J-7 Fishbeds built by The Mod Mafia/Mirage Factory. This is the full set as issued in 2012. This is EVERYTHING, all the aircraft, weapons, pilots etc. These aircraft have had their FM revised to something more SF2-ish, with all hit boxes and collision points also revised. It is designed to REPLACE, in total, all previous versions. Yes, you may just drop these over your originals. Backup copies of the data inis are all supplied as a "just in case CYA".
      ===
      Some of several "newer models" that were never quite completed when Bpao passed away a few year back. I've been fortunate enough to be allowed to complete his work, as a member of the Mod Mafia.
      This pack contains 3 of the J-7 Fishbed series, as built and operated by the PLAAF (People's Repbulic of China), and exported to some other folks. They are:
      Chengdu J-7I
      Chengdu J-7II
      Chengdu J-7IIA
      The J-7I and II have only PLAAF skins. The J-7IIA (exported as F-7B) has skins for
      PLAAF
      Iraqi Air Force (folder called "Camo2")
      Islamic Republic of Iran AF (folder called "Camo1")
       
      All skins are in jpg format, Decal Randomization is TRUE.  Damage textures are the older tga versions.
      All markings are decals,(excepting National Markings, which on some skins are painted on), and reference stock 3W items. The PLAAF Bort numbers may be incorrect; skinner/decal makers are !ENCOURAGED!! to create more correct ones.
      A user list is included for all, even for the I & II, which were NOT exported
      All sounds, pilot figure(s), seats, are included. Weapons, for the most part, reference those already "stock" in-game items. However, in the usual "CYA" effort, Chinese A-A missiles are included. These come from the GunnyPak.
       
      The Canopy opens with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0. The RWR.lst for the J-7IIA references many items from dtmdragon's Updated Threat Library; the url/download link I cannot find! So, I've just went ahead and included all the various RWR tgas that I had (in the /Flight folder included in this zip)
      When 'in game', you'll see on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown Menu, for each one...
      Chengdu J-7I (TMF)
      Chengdu J-7II (TMF)
      Chengdu J-7IIA (TMF)
      This will differentiate all these aircraft from any others you may have, either stock, user-made, imported from China, or whathaveyou.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please -READ- them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too for futher explainations, clarifactions, illuminations and so forth.
      A full listing of credits, as always, is below the Install Instructions.
       
      Good Hunting!

    2. F-CK-1 Ching-kuo addon skin

      By UllyB


      F-CK-1 Ching-kuo EagelHead skin
      by UllyB

      November the 21th 2023/ver 1.0    
              ****************************************
       
      The Taiwanese Ching-Kuo Fighter is developed and manufactured by the Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation based in Taichung. The aircraft is also referred to as the Indigenous Defence Fighter (IDF). The Ching-Kuo is an all-weather, multi-role fighter and is built in one-seater and two-seater configurations.
      Ching-Kuo fighter programme
      The programme to develop the aircraft, known as the An Hsiang or Safe Flight programme, started in 1982 with identification of the requirements for an air-superiority fighter. The rollout ceremony of the first prototype took place in December 1988, when the aircraft was named after the late President Chiang Ching-Kuo. The Ching-Kuo made its first flight in May 1989.
      Ching-Kuo air superiority fighters are operational in the RoC Air Force of Taiwan (Republic of China) since January 2000 and the last of a total of 130 entered service in July 2000.
      AIDC has developed an upgrade package which includes a digital cockpit, upgraded radar and countermeasures. BAE Systems supplied the new 32-bit digital flight control computer. Two F-CK-1 prototypes were upgraded to F-CK-1 C/D in 2006. The upgraded C/D aircraft made its first flight in October 2006. It was renamed as F-CK-1 C/D Hsiung Ying (Brave Hawk) in 2007. Other improvements in the upgrade package included increased internal fuel capacity, improved avionics, renovated electronic warfare capabilities and strengthened landing gear. Production of the C/D version began in 2009 as part of the $588m Mid Life Upgrade (MLU) programme.
      AIDC will upgrade the initial 71 of 130 IDFs under the MLU programme. The first batch of six upgraded F-CK-1 C/D IDFs were delivered to the ROCAF in June 2011. The remaining 65 were delivered at the end of 2012.

    3. SF2 RoCAF F-84G Thunderjet Skin & Decal Pack

      By Wrench

      SF2 RoCAF F-84G Thunderjet Skin & Decal Pack         10/30/2023
      -For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
      This is a new skin for the F-84G Thunderjet available here at CombatAce at the following url:
      https://combatace.com/files/file/12294-republic-f-84g-thunderjet-by-russouk-for-sf2/
      This pack is 'representative' of F-84G Thunderjets used by the Republic of China Air Force (Taiwan).
      All markings are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE. All serials are 100% historically accurate for T-Jets serving in the RoCAF. As is usual, those on the number list marked with a star (*) have their serial number matched to their "modex" or plane-in-squadron numbers. Any others, not marked, could not be matched to ID numbers, but ARE correct serials as seen on RoCAF T-Jets. This mod does not, however, replicate any specific or particular squadron. I was unable to run them down accurately enough. This is also the reason for not having any of the squadron color bands used on the nose/tail/wingtip tanks. You have a "basic" full squadron of 26 numbers. Also included are updated _data and _loadout inis, adding "Anti-Ship" mission tasking. As this will change USAF and other users missions, you may wish to back up the original data ini. Please also note, that the bombs used are the Stock 3W M64 500 pounders. If you wish to use the older ones, you'll need to edit the loadout ini.
       
      As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!!
      Happy Landings!

    9. Mirage F1CR standard F7

      By ludo.m54

      When it became clear that the Mirage F1 was becoming a successful production aircraft, Dassault began investigating the possibility of a dedicated reconnaissance version for its most important client, the French Air Force. However, the escalating cost of fighter aircraft meant that add-on pods for this purpose were a more economical alternative. Many French Air Force aircraft, as well as those of some export clients (such as Iraq's Mirage F1EQ), did indeed have a variety of reconnaissance pods available, which were attached to the underside of the main fuselage. However, the development of a tactical reconnaissance aircraft for the French Air Force continued, and the first Mirage F1CR flew on 20 November 1981.
      F1CR specifics:
      A/A: R550/R550-2 self-defence only, no R530 and no S530F (no wiring) A/G: AUF2 (no CLB4, no CLB8), rockets (<90ies), bombs, BAP/BAT radio-altimeter Inertial Navigation System (Sagem ULISS 47), VOR/ILS Panoramic (Omera 40 75mm) and vertical (Omera 33 150 mm) cameras Radar Cyrano IV-MR Seat Mk10 AAR probe no right gun, Super Cyclope Infra-Red linescan imager (SAT SCM 2400) instead Barax, Phimat capability CC420 pods capability RPL201 EFT F1CR F7 standard specifics:
      RPL201 EFT "Lion" and "Shark" special deco Corail gondolas (P0 station) GPS (GPS Improved Inertial Navigation) RWR Aigle double wingtip position lights Thomson CSF RAPHAEL TH SLAR Side Looking Aiborne Radar Recon Pod (P1 Id on AMCP) Rubis FLIR recon pod (P2 Id on AMCP) ASTAC (Analyseur de Signaux TACtiques) ELINT pod (P3 Id on AMCP) Thomson CSF MDS610 PRESTO (Pod REcon STand-Off) (P4 Id on AMCP) This addon is and will in all cases remain freeware.

    10. Type 625A/625E SHORAD

      By simonmiller416

      Please note that because there is less information about this air defense system leaked to the outside world, this mod has certain [What If] content.
      So what are Type 625 and 625E?
      "Based on the revealed images, the Type 625E is a short range air defense system, or SHORAD. It is built as an 8×8 vehicle-mounted self-propelled anti-aircraft gun and surface-to-air missile system." 
      —— From Military-Wiki
      This SHORAD is set to debut in at least 2021, with Type 625 being PLA’s own version, while Type 625E is the version intended for export.
      The difference between them is that the Type 625 has a longer gun and only 2 short-range anti-aircraft missiles on both sides.
      In this mod, due to the lack of 100% accurate model materials, I personally transformed the Type 625E based on the real prototype, named it Type 625A and set the service date as 2020.
      In summary, this mod contains:
      1.Type 625A SHORAD (Olive Green/Desert Digital);
      2.Type 625E SHORAD (Woodland/Desert/Desert Digital).
      Usage:
      Copy the Objects folder into your SF2 main folder.

      Model/Texture: Tim Samedov & Me
      Data/Modding: Me.
      Special thanks to:GKABS (for the Stinger model, the HY-6B seems to have a similar appearance to the Stinger, so I adapted based on his great work)

      VietnamSEA & Green Hell repaint Mk.9
       
      In the original I offered a repaint of the rescaled Green Hell trees, as well as 'enhanced originals' I bodged together, that were basically the original trees pushed about a stop (thats photographic speak for made brighter), but the colours didn't blend with the terrain- ugly.<h2 class="maintitle"></h2>In this update you have four tree types to choose from (don't get too excited they're not all that different). Upon request I reworked the original larger Green Hell trees for both the 'originals' and the 'repaints'.
      Includes:
       
      Large Trees/ Repaint: **Recommended** reworked repaint that gives a more accurate variation in the colour of the vegetation (primarily to the grass and palm trees) with terrain blending also kept in mind.
       
      Large Trees/Original: overall colours and curves altered to make vegetation blend with my repainted terrain. No alterations to individual vegetation.
       
      Rescaled Trees/Repaint: Same as above with rescaled trees.
       
      Rescaled Trees/Original: As above.
       
       
      Changes:
       
      - Upon request, addon now included altered version of the original Green Hell trees as well as the smaller rescaled ones for your preference.
       
      - Originals re-done with same alterations used on my tiles.
       
      - Repainted trees better balanced out for more realism once placed on terrain, whilst maintain their independently realistic colours.

    12. [Fictional] Douglas A-4D Skyhawk (Dhimar)

      By Spinners

      Douglas A-4D Skyhawk for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire A-4E Skyhawk to give a flyable A-4D (Dhimar) in service with the Dhimari Air Force with markings for;
      No.6 Squadron - 'The Eagles' 
      No.7 Squadron - 'The Rattlesnakes' 

      BACKSTORY
      During the early to mid-1950's almost every US Navy aircraft programme hit some sort of propulsion trouble with either engines that were either down on thrust or simply so unreliable that they were a hazard to flight safety. Douglas were no exception and the SkyKnight and Skyray programmes were hit especially hard and the A4D Skyhawk programme initially didn't fare much better with the J65 down on thrust and the Pentagon bizarrely ordering that reconditioned Air Force J65's should be used for Skyhawk production. Ed Heinemann's wish to shoehorn the Rolls-Royce Avon into the Skyhawk fell apart when a production licence was granted to Westinghouse who then decided to only produce (with Navy funding but without telling Douglas ) a six-tenths scale version as the XJ64 giving less thrust than the J65! 
      However, by 1955 the Navy BuWeps had decided to fund the promising Pratt & Whitney JT8, essentially a scaled-down JT3 or J57 and by 1957 the resultant J52 was running sweetly on the bench and Ed Heinemann could plan growth versions of his brilliant 'Bantam Bomber'. At about the same time the Navy were hinting that perhaps a more flexible machine was required than the high-altitude nuclear bomber of the original A4D requirement and the increased thrust of the J52 meant that two more stores pylons could be added and higher gross weights permitted. 
      Douglas had planned to introduce the engine in the A4D-3 (A-4D) and A4D-5 (A-4E) variants but the US Navy cancelled the A4D-3 in 1959 and slowed the A4D-5 programme down. Douglas then looked at export opportunities resurrecting the A4D-3 designation to produce a multi-role fighter version later designated the A-4D which introduced the new J52 engine rated at 8,500lbs thrust plus a small and simple multi-mode radar. Oil-rich Dhimar became the launch customer ordering 60 A-4D's in 1961 and these were delivered in early 1963 initially to No.6 Squadron of the Dhimari Air Force who operated the type until 1982.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the A-4Dh folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the A-4Dh folder into your Decals folder.
      That's it!

      CREDITS
      As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
      Special thanks to salvatorestupido for the USN Aggressor skin used for the No.7 Squadron machine.
      And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

    13. [Fictional] Su-9PF 'Fishpot-A' for WarPac Nations

      By Spinners

      Sukhoi Su-9PF 'Fishpot-A' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
      This is a simple mod of the stock Su-9 interceptor to create a fictional Su-9PF in service with the Warsaw Pact air forces of Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the USSR in an overall 1961-1983 timeline. The skins and markings are pretty generic and mainly use stock Third Wire stuff but I did create some new number decals for the Bulgarian, Hungarian and Romanian aircraft. I decided not make a skin for Albania as it was not part of the contiguous border between east and west and, in any case, it quit the Warsaw Pact in 1968.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Su-9PF folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Su-9PF folder into your Decals folder.
      3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the AA-1B2 folder into your Weapons folder.
      That's it!
      The AA-1B2 is a cloned 'Alkali' missile that I've altered simply to allow it to be carried by the WarPac nations - it's a pretty useless missile but I decided not to perk it up. But, for gameplay reasons, I've added guns to the Su-9PF with a simple edit that you can reverse. 

      CREDITS
      As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
      Special thanks to Stary for the Su-9 cockpit. 
      And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

    15. Bloody Hundreth Tanking into the 90s: 100th ARW skin for the KC=135R

      By daddyairplanes

      Bloody Hundreth Tanking into the 90s: 100th ARW skin for the KC=135R
      This skinpack is a representation of the 100th Air Refueling Wing at RAF Mildenhall during the 1990s. Tracing its lineage back to the 100th Bomb Group of WW2, the 100th has featured nose arts on its tankers throughout the year, often replicating or paying tribute to nose arts from the original Bloody Hundreth

              Included*
      two skins; one 1993 in the Shamu scheme and one 1998 in the AMC grey scheme
      decals for both skins including nose arts for all aircraft that had them

          Required
      a legal functioning install of any SF2 version
      KC-135R aircraft and sounds, found in the download section
         https://combatace.com/files/file/12454-mirage-factory-c-135ab-and-kc-135aer/
          Installation
      unzip this mod, then install new mod folder categories to your mod folder (Aircraft to aircraft etc)
      allow overwrites
      fire up game, take off and go pass gas
          Known Issues
      -This is meant as eye candy. unfortunately, SF2 doesnt support air to air refueling so the best to be done is set up a recon mission and then park it in an orbit.
      -Also, the C-130 cockpit is not too accurate. it is included mainly so that it can be player selected (i had to test it somehow). remember that there is no air to air refueling in game, so these are more eye candy than operational birds

      - there are currently no wingtip MPRS pods for these aircraft. Once some have been sourced (via new aircraft model or pod model) they will be added in
      -the Agean Ghost is not 100% accurate. there were not very good pics of the wings, plus model quirks meant some patches had to be put on each wing ot allow for color onthe airbrakes (all 4 of which were mapped to the two on the left wing)

    17. [Fictional] Tu-16 'Badger A' Fuerza Aérea Argentina

      By Spinners

      Tupolev Tu-16 'Badger-A' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a very simple mod of the stock AI Third Wire Tu-16 to give a flyable (and fictional) Tu-16 in service with the Fuerza Aérea Argentina with markings for Grupo 1 (grey) and Grupo 2 (silver) in the 1960's to early 1980's era.

      COCKPIT
      There is not really a totally suitable pit for this aircraft so I've decided not to include one but you will be sat in the right place (offset to port) and you will have a gun sight and a ground mapping radar. 
       
      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Tu-16_FAA folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Tu-16_FAA folder into your Decals folder.
      That's it! 

      FLYING THE BADGER
      It's so easy to scrape the tail when taking off so let the Badger 'auto take-off' by setting flaps and full power, release the brakes and the nose will lift at 260kmh and it will lift off the runway soon after. I've had good results by releasing my bombs at 10km away from the target whilst at 6,000m altitude but the Badger will happily cruise at 9,000m and at that height you should release your bombs at about 12km away from the target or just a bit more. Remember that the Badger has a fixed forward-firing 23mm cannon so if your bombs miss the fuel tank then get down nice and low and take it out that way!
      To help you land the Badger I've added fake airbrakes which will slow you down enough so it's just a matter of lining up the runway from a fair old distance and making a nice 'greaser' of a landing. It does sometimes help to push the stick forward to overcome the bounciness of the landing gear.

      CREDITS
      As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
      And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

      Supermarine Syrena FGA.3 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire Sukhoi Su-7BMK to give a fictional Supermarine Syrena FGA.3 fighter-bomber with markings for No.6 and No.54 squadrons of the Royal Air Force both in a 'Desert Storm' style scheme.
      You'll need to have the Su-7BMK for the LOD's (not included) and also the F-105D from SF2:E for the pit although you can, of course, easily use another suitable stock pit.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the SyrenaFGA3 folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the SyrenaFGA3 folder into your Decals folder.
      3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the Tank_Syrena_FGA3 folder into your Weapons folder.

      Supermarine Syrena F.1 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire Sukhoi Su-7B to give a fictional Supermarine Syrena F.1 interceptor-fighter with markings for No.111 'Treble-One' squadron and No.145 squadron of the Royal Air Force in a typical 1960's Fighter Command scheme.
      You'll need to have the Su-7B for the LOD's (not included) and also the F-105D from SF2:E for the pit although you can, of course, easily use another suitable stock pit.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the SyrenaF1 folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the SyrenaF1 folder into your Decals folder.
      That's it!
      This aircraft uses the stock Third Wire Firestreak missile so you won't get an audible growl when/if the missile locks on but you will get visual confirmation in your Lightning style gunsight.

    22. ADM-160 Miniature Air-Launched Decoy

      By simonmiller416

      From Wikipedia:
      "The ADM-160 MALD (Miniature Air-Launched Decoy) is a decoy missile developed by the United States.
      It uses gradient-index optics to create a radar cross section that simulates an airplane, in order to confuse missile defense systems.
      ......
      ADM-160B
      Decoy version developed by Raytheon with longer endurance. In use by the USAF.
      ADM-160C "MALD-J"
      Radar jammer variant of ADM-160B by Raytheon. This variant of the MALD decoy can operate in both decoy and jammer modes...... MALD-J will provide stand-in jamming capability for the Airborne Electronic Attack Systems of Systems. It will be launched against a preplanned target and jam specific radars in a stand-in role to degrade or deny the IADS detection of friendly aircraft or munitions.Delivery to the US Armed Forces is to begin in 2012. That year, the Air Force ended procurement of the ADM-160B and will only procure MALD-J versions.
      MALD-N
      Navy variant based on the MALD-J.
      "
      This mod Include:
      1.ADM-160B MALD
      2.ADM-160C MALD-J
      3.ADM-160D MALD-N
       
      Usage and precautions：
      1.Upzip and copy ADM-160C folder to Objects/Weapons ;
      2.For a true decoy effect I set it to "ASM" and "is decoy" ,so the ADM-160C is restricted to ASM compatible weapon station ;
      3.Since it works similar to a drone in reality, it doesn't cause any damage to any target in the game, and may not even hit the target accurately,but it can indeed play a very good role in covering cruise missiles. Please be clear about your purpose of use and make a good choice.

    23. RAF B-1B 'Bone' Skin pack

      By Spinners

      RAF B-1B 'Bone' Skin Pack
      This is a simple mod of the existing original release B-1B skins to give three 'what if' RAF skins. All I've done is add a bit of overspray to the tail fin, change the canopy glass to a cool blue tint and add some decals. 
      This very minor update just places the decals in a 'D' folder in each skin to suit the SF1 format.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      Just drop the 3 skin folders into your B-1B folder.

      CREDITS
      BIG THANKS to 'The Bone Team' and, in particular, to the creators of the two original skins; 
      "Skins by ST0RM, Syrinx Jat81500 and my boy Jimmy B!!!!"

    24. Parani Skin for the J-20 Chinese Stealth Fighter

      By Spinners

      Uploaded as a request by my mate Canadair, this is a simple mod of the skin that comes with the superb J-20 Chinese Stealth Fighter recently released by 'The Insky Group'. All I've done is toned down the white walkway markings and added Parani decals. I think you'll need WOI for the stock 'ARABIC3WHITE' decals. Hopefully, I've got the decal pathway correct, forgive me if I haven't but I don't normally upload skins and I'm a stranger over here in the SF1 section.
       
      Well done to The Insky Group. More please!

      FLYING THE BADGER
      It's so easy to scrape the tail when taking off so let the Badger 'auto take-off' by setting flaps and full power, release the brakes and the nose will lift at 260kmh and it will lift off the runway soon after. I've had good results by releasing my bombs at 10km away from the target whilst at 6,000m altitude but the Badger will happily cruise at 9,000m and at that height you should release your bombs at about 12km away from the target or just a bit more. Remember that the Badger has a fixed forward-firing 23mm cannon so if your bombs miss the fuel tank then get down nice and low and take it out that way!
      To help you land the Badger I've added fake airbrakes which will slow you down enough so it's just a matter of lining up the runway from a fair old distance and making a nice 'greaser' of a landing. It does sometimes help to push the stick forward to overcome the bounciness of the landing gear.
