LCS-1 Freedom class Littoral Combat Ship
This model represents the first Littoral Combat Ship, USS Freedom, in commission with the US Navy since 2008. These vessels are designed to be fast, stealthy, and highly modular.
This package includes decal sets for all current and future ships of the class, plus all necessary sounds, guns, and weapons such as the exclusive RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile. The ship can support two helicopters. See the readme file for full details.
A SRBOC countermeasures system has been installed to help defend against anti-ship missiles. This system is still in the beta stages, but if well-received, will be added to my other models as appropriate.
The weapon systems, collision mesh, and decals have been updated for compatibility with SF2: North Atlantic and the March 2012 patch. If you have not installed/do not plan to install either, this model will not work properly.
When setting up a task force, using the USNgrey texture will allow hull decals based on the ship number. This is bugged in single missions (as the ship number apparently defaults to 90 and can't be changed), so select a specific texture set with the hull number you want.
If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

C-14 China Cat class
This model represents the C-14 China Cat series, a small missile boat designed in China for use in the Middle East. It has been in service with the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy since 2002, and it is also used by the PLAN in limited quantities to test new light weaponry.
The China Cat can reach speeds of up to 50 knots and can carry a variety of weapons. Three variants are included in this package with the following weapons:
C-701, a very small anti-ship missile designed for attacking other patrol boats and fast attack craft.
C-704, a significantly larger anti-ship missile developed from the C-701 designed for attacking medium-size vessels.
122mm unguided rockets in a 16-round launcher for light artillery support
All versions have a 23mm cannon on the bow in addition to the above.
Optional for new modders:
As this model was built as part of a tutorial I made for CombatAce, I have included the 3D Max files and texture templates in a separate package.
CombatAce modders are free to modify these files as they see fit to create alternate configurations or entirely different vessels.
If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

The Last Stand
By MigBuster
The Last Stand
December 14th, 1974. Being almost certain that the US wont intervene anymore, the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) launch a full scale invasion of the Republic of South Vietnam.
Defence aid to the South from the US has been drastically reduced and the South Vietnamese economy has all but collapsed. Ammo, spares and fuel are in short supply, and so is the moral of the South Vietnamese people. Your only hope is to hold out long enough to gain renewed US support.
The South VNAF currently have the Worlds fourth largest airforce thanks to the "Enhance" and "Enhance Plus" programs from the US.........
Historical only in the Aircraft, Units and Air Bases used by the VNAF squadrons. Other than that you will be limited to hitting Targets in Southern NV/South Vietnam/Laos/Cambodia only - You wont be going up North - the VNAF never had the range anyway.
Only for Wings Over Vietnam SP4 version v08.30.06 - only tested with the default terrain also - but should be no issues adding trees etc
MUST be a new install - none of the stock campaigns will work after you have installed this!
Read the instructions - they will tell you which jets to download and where from
The gamplay file should give you some hints of how the campaign should be played
Only parts of this Mod comes under the CA Freeware licencing - read the Credits file for details

Note1: Razbam Skyraiders Vol 2 is worth the money for the cockpit alone – however if you are stuck there is a free A-1H at CombatAce – if you do this the quickest way would be to change the campaigns data.ini and .ini files and replace the A-1HVNAF and A-1JVNAF with A-1H and the skin for the A-1H you want to use. You would then need to change the A-1H_loadout.ini.
Played and tested loads but as ever there may be some issues to resolve somewhere.

Remove the red planes from the in flight Map
By MigBuster
Game not challenging enough? - why not stop red planes appearing on the map!
Just download and copy MAPENEMYICON.tga to your "Flight folder" ie
"C:\......\WingsOverVietnam\Flight"
If you feel like you are getting shot down to much afterwards - just delete MAPENEMYICON.tga again and all will revert to normal....easy hey
tested in WOI / WOV but should work in SF/WOV/WOE/WOI/FE
Note about SF2: This will work in the strike Fighters 2 series - however TK kindly included these options in the HUDDATA.ini file (which you would need to extract from the flightdata.cat file) from June 2009 which can just be set to true or false as you need - so you can acheive the same thing from here:
[HUDLabels]
EnableLabels=FALSE
LabelFriendlyAir=TRUE
LabelFriendlyGround=TRUE
LabelEnemyAir=TRUE
LabelEnemyGround=TRUE
[MapLabels]
EnableLabels=FALSE

SF2 DLC #28: F-104A Starfighter, Pakistani Air Force
By Wrench
SF2 DLC #28: F-104A Starfighter, Pakistani Air Force 3/10/2014
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged, =WITH= DLC #28 (Full-5 Reccomended/Preferred) =
*DLC #28 is REQUIRED for this mod!!*
A remod skin/decal set for the DLC F-104A, recreates the Starfighter as used by the PAF.
The decals are re-used from my Indo-Pak Mod, that was based on Ajundair's old 1stGen A Zipper. Now, we're using the newest model (you all know how I hate to waste decals.... ).
Included are 98.6% historical serial numbers (albeit 2 are for 104Bs ...) as used by No. 9 Squadron, PAF. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. Also included are several inis with some additions and corrections.
The inis are:
Data.ini (operable canopy, standard keystrokes, Shift/0)
Loadout ini
main ini
Hangar screen (an SF2 revamped version of the 1stGen's F-104G)
Loadout image (bmp)
Avionics. ini
Cockpit.ini, (with working secondary ADI and oil pressure gauges, ala F-104G)
*REMINDER!!! You =MUST= have DLC #28 to have access to the aircraft's LOD.*
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please -READ- them!!
Happy Landings!

SF2 WW2 DLC #28 S-99 (Bf-109G) Mod Pak
By Wrench
SF2 WW2 DLC #28 S-99 (Bf-109G) Mod Pak 3/10/2014
-- Something for the WW2 players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*You =MUST= have DLC #28 to gain access to the stock 3W S-99 Lods*
Some modifications to the DLC Avia S-99, 'backdate' it to its WW2 beginnings.
The aircraft has had several modifications, not the least of which is the
renaming to BF-109.
The skin is a 'base' light grey (RLM 81?). All new panel and rivet lines have
been drawn in. There is NO camoflague pattern, nor are the control surfaces
fabric lines drawn in.
The templates I created ARE included, in the hopes someone can make use of them
and finish off the aircraft. Due to the resolution of the stock skins I used, I
was unable to see the control surface lines well enough, or to find a drawing
that matched well enough to try drawing them.
Several ini mods add a 'fake pilot' belly rack, so the drop tank or single bomb
will have something to attach too (as the Lod does NOT have this mesh). Some
modification to FM statements try to bring it closer to published data. It may
need further tuning by experts.
Canopy opens with the Standard Animation Keystroke (Shift/0)
The skin included is a 'base' Luftwaffe (albeit, again with no camo). The
markings represent 11/JG 77 in late 1944. All markings are decals, and decal
randomization is TRUE.
When in-game, you'll see:
Bf-109G10 (3W)
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are
included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!.
With any luck, one of our Expert skinners will grab this, and give us some
nice Luftwaffe skins.
Happy Hunting!

SF2 WW2 MTO USAAF P-40F Pak (Raven)
By Wrench
SF2 WW2 MTO USAAF P-40F Pak 2/24/2014
-- Something for the WW2 MTO players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*Note: this pak MAY be usable in 1stGen SF/Wo* game installs. However, some features (decal randomization and FM adjustments and several other things) will =NOT= be functional. Use in 1stGens has not, and cannot be, tested by me.*
**Notex2: this mod is designed for use =ONLY= in a MTO-Centric mods folder**
At first, I was just going to do a simple skin/decals pack. But with all the "modifications" made to fit into SF2 chose to take the "lazy man's way out" and am just uploading the entire aircraft. So, if you already have Raven's P-40F in your MTO-centric mods folder, best to back it up someplace. You can, of course, re-add any other skins at your convience.
This is the full aircraft, with my 'tweeked' sf2-ish data ini. The skin included is for...
64th FS, 57 FG "Black Scorpions"
as seen from late 1942 in North Africa.
Skins remain in their bmp format.
New DDS damage textures (usable on all Raven's Warhawk/Kittyhawk in SF2 only) are included!
All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. There are no nose arts. Also, via the use of my (patent pending) fake "SqTail" decal, the squadron name display is now active on the Loadout Screen.
No weapons are included, except an SF2 Version of the drop tank (for those that haven't converted it yet). New theatre-specific Hangar and Loading screens are included, too. Actually, you have 2 loadings screens to choose from.
When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop-down, you'll see
P-40F-5 CU (Raven)
This will diferentiate this for any other Warhawks you may (or may not) have.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!
Good Hunting!!

[Fictional] Dhimari Desert Aggressors Pack 2
By ValAstur
This pack consists of three planes. The stock F-4J, F-100D and Ravenclaws F-4E (HAF) have been modded to create planes for the Dhimari Air Force:
1. EF-4Dh Desert Phantom II, 4th Squadron "The Falcons"
2. F-100Dh Desert Sabre, 11th Squadron "The Rams"
3. JF-4Dh Desert Phantom, 2nd Squadron "The Hawks"
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Drop the Folders into your Strike Fighters Mod Folder.
2. If asked to overwrite, click yes.
ADDENDUM:
The planes fly for the USAF, since I don't own Strike Fighters 2
If you have SF2, then simply change the NationName in the corresponding data.inis and userlist.inis
I added a color sheet into this package so everybody can feel free to create his own dhimari desert aggressor skin.
ALTERNATE NOSE CAMO FOR THE EF-4Dh
Furthermore, there is a folder called "Alternate camo versions EF-4Dh" which includes two folders: Black Nose and Camo Nose. Those folders contain a JPG and a decals.ini each.
The EF-4Dh comes standard with the black nose. If you want to fly with a camoed nose, simply copy the contents of the folder "Camo nose" to the skin folder and overwrite.
If you want to return to the standard black nose, simply copy the contents of the black nose folder and paste them into the skin folder.
This applies to the EF-4Dh only!
CREDITS
There are several people I have to thank:
Big Thanks to Thirdwire for the games and the superb models they have.
Ravenclaw_007 for his great F-4 (HAF) I used as a base for the EF-4Dh and the great templates for the Phantom.
Spinners for the dhimari decals and the sharkmouth decal from the F-100 I've been using to create this mod.
Sundowners Sharkmouth included in his F-105 Template I used for the EF-4Dh and JF-4Dh.
If I missed someone, please let me know and I correct it ASAP.
Kindest regards

SF2 WW2 MTO Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VIF, v.9
By Wrench
SF2 WW2 MTO Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VIF, v.9 by Cocas 2/10/2014
-- Something for the WW2 MTO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level. It was built for SF2 ONLY!!.*
*Note x2: This mod represents VIFs as used in the MTO =ONLY=. This is the AI equipped NFs (Mk.VII), WITH dehidral (upwards pointing) tailplanes, but NO turret gun. I've allowed for other mission statement like 'Armed_Recon'. This aircraft carries NO bombs or rockets. You'll have to do with guns-only. Until the later model VI, X and TF.X arrive.*
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.
This pack contains the following aircraft & skin/decal sets:
Beaufighter Mk.IVF
No. 600 "City of London" Squadron
As seen in late 1942/early 43 time frames. The aircraft is finished in standard overall MSG with disruptive Dark Green.
The Squadron Crest for each is used as the paint chip seen on the Loadout Screen.
Skins are in jpg format, as are the bump maps. Damage textures are in DDS. Everything is included, excepting the guns (you should have all these already). No bombs or rockets; these are Mk.VIF NFs, not equipped for them. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
Other squadrons can easily be reproduced by creating new squadron code letters. As is my habit, sample bmps are left in the various Decals folders so you can match the font and size.
All serials, while correct for the variant depicted, should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent no specific aircraft with the unit(s) depicted.
When in-game, you'll see:
Beaufighter Mk VIF (Early) (CAF)
for this aircraft. The "CAF" (for Cocas Aircraft Factory) will diferentiate these Beaus from any others you may or may not have.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
Happy Hunting!

SF2 WW2 RAF Douglas Dakota Skin Pak
By Wrench
SF2 WW2 RAF Douglas Dakota Skin Pak 3/1/2014
-- Something for the WW2 ETO/MTO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged, + Expansion Pak 1 (REQUIRED!) =
*You must have SF2:I Exp Pak 1, as this mod REQUIRES the stock 3W C-47*
This pak contains Skin/Decal mods for the Stock 3rd Wire C-47A, representing
RAF Dakota's in WW2. This pak contains 2 skins:
RAF (Euro) -standard OD/Grey
RAF_D (Desert) - standard Day Desert
Supplied are 26 plane-in group letters and RAF serial number decals. The
serials, while correct for the Dakota, represent no particular unit and should
be considered 'generic' in nature. Both skins use a 'pool' of the letters and
serials. There are NO squadron codes.
Decal randomization is TRUE
Also supplied is an updated/edited/adjusted C-47A User list, with many
corrected dates.
End users are advised to choose which skin for what WW2 mods folder
they'll be using (Euro for the ETO, and Desert for the MTO, obviously!). Simply
rename the textureset ini for the skins NOT being used, and the Game Engine
will ignore it.
This little mod comes about as I'm sick and tired of seeing Dakota's parked on
my terrains, with incorrect WW2 markings (while not perfect even WITH this,
they're a LOT closer!)
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are
included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!
Happy Landings!

Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero
By Veltro2k
SM.79 Sparviero
The Savoia-Marchetti SM.79 Sparviero (Italian for "Sparrowhawk") was a three-engined Italian medium bomber with a wood-and-metal structure. Originally designed as a fast passenger aircraft, this low-wing monoplane, in the years 1937–39, set 26 world records that qualified it for some time as the fastest medium bomber in the world. It first saw action during the Spanish Civil War and flew on all fronts in which Italy was involved during World War II. It became famous and achieved many successes as a torpedo bomber in the Mediterranean theater. The SM.79 was an outstanding aircraft and was certainly the best-known Italian aeroplane of World War II.[2] It was easily recognizable due to its distinctive fuselage dorsal "hump", and was well liked by its crews who nicknamed it Gobbo Maledetto ("damned hunchback"). It was the most widely produced Italian bomber of World War II, with some 1,300 built, remaining in Italian service until 1952.

SF2 WW2 Fieseler Fi 156 'Storch' (MTO/ETO) Pak
By Wrench
SF2 WW2 Fieseler Fi 156 'Storch' (MTO/ETO) Pak, 3/1/2014
-- Something for the WW2 ETO/MTO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*There is a distinct possibility that this mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs below the 08 pach level. Due to some of the modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment (specific statements for decals and the 'open cockpit") all the features will =NOT= be working as designed in anything earlier. No support is/will be available for 1stGen users to do so.*
Some modification, tweeks, reskin and so forth for Raven's cool little Storch, adds another skin (MTO Desert) and new decals (radio call letters) for both. Also, a exceedingly modified cockpit from my L-19 mod, making if nicely Player Flyable. (as seen in the SF2 Storch Tweeks Pak from a few years back. Ths mod includes that, plus more!)
So, you have to 2 skins:
Euro Green (the original) (represeing ????)
MTO desert mottle camo (representing 2(H)/14 in North Africa)
Originally, I was just going to do an 'update pak', but it was just as easy to assemble a Full Aircaft Update Package. This was done simply for 'ease of use' (read: laziness!!! :) ).
All skins is still in bmp format. Decal randomization is TRUE. All the markings are decals. Each skin has 12 radio letter decals. There is NO hangar screen.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them.
This pak includes a number of changes for SF2, so if you have the Storch already, you might REALLY want to back up your original, as THIS is designed to replace it.
Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
With Thanks To Raven for the bird!
Happy Landings!

[Fictional] BF-5A 'Freedom Fighter'
By Spinners
BF-5A Freedom Fighter for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of 'The Mirage Factory' F-5A/F-5C to create a fictional export version in service with the Belgian Air Force during the 1970-1991 timeline with markings for No.1, No.2, No.8 and No.42 smaldeel (the latter unit tasked with reconnaissance).
BACKSTORY
During the first half of the 1960's, Belgium and the Netherlands both started looking for a replacement for their F-84F Thunderstreak fighter-bombers and the Lockheed T-33 advanced trainer for delivery around 1970. After both countries had written their individual requirements 12 potential aircraft were studied resulting in a shortlist consisting of the A-7 Corsair, the A-4 Skyhawk, the CL-984 (a version of the F-104), the Mirage 5 and the F-5A. In the mood of the times, Europe was awash with joint requirements and collaborative programmes so it was quite appropriate for the two nations to work together for maximum standarisation so the BAF and KLu issued 'Specification TFT70' a joint requirement for a tactical fighter and advanced trainer.
After exhaustive testing and evaluation both airforces reported to their respective Ministers of Defence, that with some adjustments, the F-5A fighter-bomber and the F-5B advanced trainer were their preferred choice. However, the Belgians had a problem in that Wallonia (the French-speaking part of the country) preferred a French plane (i.e. the Mirage) but after protracted political discussions including the promise of a good share in the license production of the airframe by SABCA and the engines by FN (both based in Wallonia) the F-5 was chosen. In the Netherlands Fokker was chosen to participate in the manufacturing program.
However, during this time Northrop had increased the price of the baseline F-5A by no less than 11% leading both countries to make a deal with Canadair who had recently acquired a production license for their CF-5 derivative. With its more powerful Orenda J85-15 engines and a more sophisticated navigation system this was a step in the direction the BAF and the KLu needed. With further modifications including more advanced avionics, moving-map navigation, radar altimeter, SAAB BT9 bombing computer, bigger underwing droptanks, a two-position nose wheel strut, extra auxiliary louvre-type air inlets for take off and manoeuvering flaps it resulted in the most advanced F-5A ever produced. Compared to the F-5A the more advanced BF/NF-5A promised to be a superb multi-role tactical fighter with a useful air-to-air capability due to it's 50% increase in turn rate over the 'vanilla' F-5A.
In early 1968 both Belgium and the Netherlands each ordered 80 single-seat BF/NF-5A's and 20 two-seat BF/NF-5B's advanced trainers for delivery during 1970 and by the beginning of 1972 both countries had 4 front-line squadrons and an OCU operational in service. The aircraft were generally popular with pilots and ground-crew alike and served both airforces well before slowly being retired during the latter part of the 1980's and by the early 1990's most BF/NF-5's had been retired with most being sold on to Greece, Turkey and Venezuela.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the BF-5A folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the BF-5A folder into your main Decals folder.
3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_BAF folder into you main Pilots folder.
4. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the F-5C_TIPTANK and F-5C_WINGTANK folders into your main Weapons folder.
CREDITS
Thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.
Thanks to Sony Tuckson of 'The Mirage Factory' for permission to mod their F-5A and F-5C.
Thanks to Derk for the BF-5A idea and for the bulk of the backstory. This is more of a 'nearly was' than a 'what if'.
And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

[Fictional] Mikoyan MiG-21bis Croatia (Two-Tone Grey)
By Spinners
Mikoyan MiG-21bis 'Croatia' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire MiG-21bis to create a semi-fictional MiG-21bis in service with the Croatian Air Force who actually operate the type but not in this two-tone grey scheme. Perhaps a more talented modder can reproduce their excellent real world schemes and add them to this package.
This revised pack simply adds two USAF skins as bonus content and with basic decals.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the MiG-21bisC folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the MiG-21bisC folder into your main Decals folder.
3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_CRO folder into you main Pilots folder.

SF2 WW2 ETO Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VI (Early), v.9 by Cocas
By Wrench
SF2 WW2 ETO Bristol Beaufighter Mk.VI (Early), v.9 by Cocas 3/1/2014
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level.
It was built for SF2 ONLY!!.*
*Note x2: This mod represents the early production Beau Mk.VIs for ETO and MTO
usage ONLY! Seperate versions for other theatres, and later marks, will be
released when and as they are finished. (although, with a differently painted
skin, it could be used for CBI/PTO...)
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.*
This is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co.
This package contains 1 aircraft, representing a mix-mash of 3 different
(early) Mk.VI variants, so I'm calling this the "Beaufighter 6 Mix":
VIF
VIC
ITF
These marks =HAVE= the dihedral horizontial stabs (they point up). There is no
MG turret, and no AI or ASV radar. The aircraft IS equipped to carry rockets
and a torpedo, as well as 2 bombs on the wing stations - but, obviously! not
all at the same time!! (see notes for more information).
This pack contains the following aircraft & skin/decal sets:
Beaufighter Mk.VIF Standard CC Scheme (Overall MSG/Dark Green disruptive)
No. 236 Squadron, Coastal Command
The Squadron Crest for each is used as the paint chip seen on the Loadout
Screen.
Skins are in jpg format, as are the bump maps. Damage textures are in DDS.
Everything is included (rockets,bombs,chickens,beer), excepting the guns (you
should have all these already).
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. Other
squadrons can easily be reproduced by creating new squadron code letters (either
for ETO or MTO usage). As is my habit, a sample bmp are left in the Decals
folder so you can match the font and size.
All serials, while correct for the variant depicted, should be considered
'generic' in nature, as they represent no specific aircraft with the units
represented.
When in-game, you'll see:
Beaufighter Mk VIF (Early) (CAF)
for this aircraft. The "CAF" (for Cocas Aircraft Factory) will diferentiate
these Beaus from any others you may or may not have. I've left it as "VIF", as
I really don't know what else to call it!! :)
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are
included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!. Also, give the
"Notes" section a read too.
Happy Hunting!

MiG-23 Yuke skin pack
By tonipm99
TW Yuktobanian MiG-23 skin pack
This skin pack is for the TW MiG-23s, I have a full-5 merged installation and Expansion packs 1 and 2, and I don't know which MiG-23s are added in every installation and Expansion pack, so I apologise. But it will work with every MiG-23 (except the MiG-23MS). This pack also includes pits (by ordway) to automatically make the planes flyable.
-Special thanks:
-TK for the SF sims and MiG-23s
-ordway for the pits.
Note: The MiG-23 doesn't appear in any Ace Combat. I made this because I plan on making a Ace Combat-based skin for every plane, and possibly some unique terrains from different ACs.
