USAF F-86K 'What-If' SF2 Sand Camo Skin
By Geary
F-86K USAF Sand Camo 'What-If' SF2 Skin
This skin is for the F-86K Sabre by Bunyap, Fubar512. Original 3D model by Zur.
This skin textures are in .jpg format. It uses default SF2 full 5+2 merged install decals. Although most are common USAF decals, it uses F104TAILNUM for numbers. If you don't have these numbers in your install, you'll have to substitute numbers.
(It 'should' work in SF1 by converting the .jpg's to .bmp's and re-decaling using your SF1 game's decals.)
It was painted using the F-86D/K/L templates by suhsjake and bobrock.
INSTALLATION: Unzip to a folder/place of your choice. Copy, Move, Drag-n-Drop or do whatever you wish to get the skin folder into your F-86D, K or L folders. Choose USAF Sand Camo in the loadout section. Fly.
I'm releasing this under the Combat Ace Fair Use Agreement. Use it anyway you wish for personal use. For any other use, please contact me first.
If you find any problems with it, please PM me. If you improve it, please PM me a copy.
Thanks to all who are helping me learn to skin by direct involvement and/or by inspiration.
If I forget or miss anyone who deserves credit for anything I release, I apologize. I have no intent to abuse or misuse anyone's property or claim it as my own. Please contact me to correct any error.

SF2 WW2 MTO Spitfire Mk.V (Trop) Pak by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co
By Wrench
SF2 WW2 MTO Spitfire Mk.V (Trop) Pak by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co (ver 0.9)
1/06/2014
-- Something for the MTO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*Note: having whichever expansion pak gave us the Spit Mk. IX is required, as
this mod references the stock 3W destroyed Spitfire*
This is tagged as Ver 0.9, as we're sure some minor fixes may be required. We wanted to get it out into the hands of End Users , both for your flying pleasure, and further examinations.
This package is for MTO (North Africa, The Med, etc) Spitfire V Trops -ONLY!!!- . Not to be used elsewhere! Seperate version(s) for CBI RAF and SoWesPac RAAF usage will be released at a later date.
Skins included with the package are:
RAF:
No. 92 Squadron, RAF "East India" (after transfer from the UK)
No. 417 Squadron, RCAF "City of Windsor"
No. 1 Squadron, SAAF
USAAF:
307th FS, 31st FG (MX)
308th FS, 31st FG (HL)
309th FS, 31st FG (WZ) (TORCH, and Post TORCh -yellow outline star/ball)
Free French AF:
GG II/7 FFAF (No. 326 Squadron RAF) (start 6/43)
Squadron crests (when locatable) or in AAF cases the squadron patch, are used
as the paint chip, as seen on the Loadout screen.
This pack makes use of the Brain32 trick of having the skin maps in the MAIN
aircraft folder, NOT in the individual squadron folders. As most MTO-based
Spitfires were painted the same camo, this reduces the size of the package.
Only the markings (squadron codes, national insignia) change.
All marking are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Other squadrons, RAF
USAAF, FFAF, etc can easily be done by creating new squadron code letters. The
Userlist ini has dates rounded to the closest whole month.
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.Vb Trop (CAF)
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate THIS Spitfire
from any other MK Vs you may (or may not) have.
An revamped SF2 version of my original "box art" hangar screen is included.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
Good Hunting!

USAF 'What-If' Hunter Skins
By Geary
Hunter USAF 'What-If' SEA and Grey SF2 Skins.
You need any SF2 ThirdWire Hunter. Although these were painted on the F.6 and F.9 they 'should' work reasonably well on any of the TW Hunters. They are both set for the F.6.
These texture files are in .jpg format.
INSTALLATION: Drop the skin folder of choice into your chosen Hunter folder. Choose it in the loadout section. Fly.
The Grey skin was painted using Sundowner's TW Hunter F6 Hi Res Templates.
The SEA skin was painted using ndicki's Hunter9 templates.
The intake warning triangle decals, I believe, are Wrench's. (At least that's as far as I could trace them. He thinks they are default. If anyone knows for sure, please let me know so I can correct this.)
Thanks to all of them for their contributions to this great game and making skinning the Hunter so easy.
All other decals are default/stock TW 5+2 merged install USAF decals and should be available in any SF2 game.
I'm releasing this under the Combat Ace Fair Use Agreement. Use it anyway you wish for personal use. For any other use, please contact me first.
If you find any problems with it, please PM me. If you improve it, please PM me a copy.
Thanks to all who are helping me 'learn to skin' by direct involvement and/or by inspiration.

Iraq SuperEtendard Skin Pack (multiple skins)
By Ariell
This is a pack of skins for Super Etendard , I tried to recreate the almost unknown skin Supertendard who fought in the lran - Iraq war . It's almost impossible to get documentation from the 5 aircraft that France provided Iraq during the 80s . Knowing that the numerals were from 7445-7449 . Two of these aircraft were shot down in a fight . Had few raids getting some targets oil tankers crossing the gulf.
I created these skins based on the only color photo I found on the net, but also created 8 skins with possible colors that might have these aircraft. I created the numerals from the real and completing a total of 15 numerals of which 10 are fictitious , and is just not to get problems in the simulator. Just choose the color you like and put it in the "Irak" folder. There is also a skin color in each folder with a Red Intake skin if you want to use as well . Fuel tanks go up in the next update , because the color reflection gave me trouble to let them equal to each skin. Good vuelo.Ariell . -
Este es un pack de pieles para Superetendard, he tratado de recrear la casi desconocida piel de los Supertendard que combatieron en la guerra de lran-Iraq. Es casi imposible conseguir documentación de los 5 aviones que Francia proveyó a Irak durante los 80s. Si se sabe que los numerales eran desde 7445 a 7449. Dos de estos aviones fueron derribados en pelea. Tuvieron pocas incursiones obteniendo algunos objetivos sobre buques petroleros que cruzaban el golfo.
Yo he creado estas pieles en base a la única foto en color que encontre en la red, pero también creé 8 pieles mas con los colores posibles que pudieron tener estos aviones. He creado los numerales desde los reales y completando un total de 15 numerales de los cuales 10 son ficticios, y es solo para no obtener problemas en el simulador. Solo escoja el color que le guste y pongalo en la carpeta "Irak". También hay un skin en cada carpeta de color con una piel Red Intake por si desea usarlo así. Los tanques de combustible los subiré en proxima update, por que la reflexion del color me dio problemas para dejarlos iguales a cada piel. Buen vuelo.Ariell.-

SF2 WW2 ETO Spitfire Mk.V Pak by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co (ver 0.9)
By Wrench
SF2 WW2 ETO Spitfire Mk.V Pak by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co (ver 0.9) 12/10/2013
-- Something for the ETO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*Note: having whichever expansion pak gave us the Spit Mk. IX is required, as this mod references the stock 3W
destroyed Spitfire*
This is tagged as Ver 0.9, as we're sure minor fixes may be required.
Skins included with the package are:
RAF:
No. 92 "East India" Squadron
No. 610 "County of Chester" Squadron
USAAF:
336th FS, 4th FG "Rocketeers" (circa 9/42)*
(*Please note, as ex-Eagle Squadron aircraft, they still carry their RAF squadron code letters. The standard 4th FG codes did -not- appear until after transitioning to Thunderbolts)
Squadron crests, or in AAF cases the squadron patch, are used as the paint chip, seen on the loadout screen.
This pack makes use of the Brain32 trick of having the skin maps in the MAIN aircraft folder, NOT in the individual squadron folders. As all ETO Spitfires were painted the same camo, this reduces the size of the package. Only the markings (squadron codes, national insignia) change.
All marking are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Other squadrons, RAF or USAAF, can easily be done by creating new squadron code letters. The AAF skin is set to start in September, 1942, as this is approximately correct for the 4th FGs formation. The Userlist ini has dates rounded to the closest whole month. SF2 versions of my "box art" style hangar and loading screens are included.
All aircraft use a "pool" of plane-in-group letters, and serial numbers. The serial numbers, while 'generic' in nature (representing no particular aircraft), 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.Vb (CAF)
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate =THIS= Spitfire from any other Mk.Vs you may (or may not) have.
The skin template is NOT included, as it's being used for other variants. When those are finished, and released, the template will be also (in the hopes someone can fine tune OUT my mistakes! <grin>).
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
Good Hunting!

Here is the long awaited Jauguar A for the french Air Force
It should be compatible with SFP1 and SF2 (all versions)
The base work is from BPAO, in 2005.
Skins are 1024x1024, but a 2048 version is planned for version 2.

- late 1996-2006 (presently the JagA3 Lot5) : can deliver and designate laser guided ammunitions.
Each version is subdivided into two sub-version for simplicity and compatibility with SF1 :
With European camo fuel tanks and with Desert camo fuel tanks

-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
A slight reskinning/rebadging for Wolf's P-47 (Razorback), represents the 334th
FS, 4th FG shortly after converting from Spitfires to early P-47
"Thunderbolts".
This package is designed to work on/with my "P-47C/D (Early) Pak", available at
the following url:
http://combatace.com/files/file/13740-sf2-ww2-eto-p-47cd-early-pak/

rounded to closest whole month. (you may with to back up the original data ini,
as a 'just in case', before installing this pak)
No weapons or pilot figures are included; you should have them already. The
skin is in jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE.
The other 3 squadrons of the 4th can be easily recreated, by simple making a
"SCode.tga" (squadron code letter decal).

Happy Landings!!

Open Ocean Carrier Battle Map
By JonathanRL
This terrain is Starys Water-Only terrain, adjusted to be a Carrier duelling ground. It has two Carrier Stations and a few
waypoints, as well as movement data to attack Convoys. There is no interference by ground based aircraft whatsoever, both Carriers
has to rely on what they have available on their decks and is thus perfect for single missions. The Terrain can however also
be used for Sea-Based Campaigns.
Installation:
Simply unzip into the Mod Folder of your choice.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
This Terrain requires Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic
This Terrain may require some management of your Ground Objects. The key to this Terrain is the Ocean_NATIONS.INI. This needs to be adjusted to create the scenario you wish.
As of right now, it is set to USN vs Soviet. It is imperative that you choose a year where both nations have a Carrier; regardless of the nations chosen. Do note that
it does not have to be a Red vs Blue Scenario. Brazilian Navy vs Indian Navy, Indian Navy vs US Navy, Soviet Navy vs Brazilian Navy and onwards are all fun combinations
in their own way. Not to mention the classic "Argentine Navy vs Royal Navy" ;-)
To spawn a Carrier Group, there needs to be a Carrier and Escorts. Make sure the Carrier can house the intended aircraft!
Troubleshooting:
There are a few issues that may arise with this terrain, and all of them are based on your Ground Objects:
My Nations/Enemy Carrier is not spawning:
Check that you added the correct nation in the Nations.ini
Check that the Carrier can carry the size of your aircraft (Some carriers can only house "Small" Aircraft and will not spawn if you chosen a "Medium" aircraft)
Make sure the Carrier has a Name List.
My Carrier has no Escorts:
Make sure you have nation-appropriate Escorts. Escorts are ships designated as Crusiers, Destroyers and Frigates. This is done in the vessels Data file (WarshipClass=FRIGATE)
For some nations, you can download Escorts but for others, you need to edit them for the nation you wish to use.
Recommended Mods for use with this Terrain:
Soviet Navy Vertical Pack
WW2 Naval Units
SF2: NA Ultimate Carriers Pack
CVN Ulyanovsk
Recommend you look in the Add-On Ships Section for anything else you may need. Paulopanz has also uploaded several Airplane + Carrier Packages that are worth checking out.

CVN Ulyanovsk
By Fubar512
CVN Ulyanovsk
by
Julhelm
This model represents the Soviet Project 1143.7 CVN Ulyanovsk, as it probably would have appeared had the project had been carried through to completion.
I won't go into the actual history of the ship, as it's just as easy for anyone so inclined to perform an online search and dig up all the relevant details on the vessel.
This model was designed and optimized for SF2:NA, and that means Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. At the very least it requires the latest SF2 series patch for its systems and DX10 visual effects to work properly.
To install this package, simply place the folders located inside the .RAR archive into the mod folder of whichever SF2 title you desire the ship to appear in.
Additional work may be required on your part to ensure that the ship's TEWS RWR symbol (SkyWatch) is added to the RWR list of any aircraft so equipped. Instructions on how to do this, can be found on the SF2 knowledge base, courtesy of EricJ:
http://combatace.com/topic/44441-making-a-custom-tga-for-tews-radar-warning-recievers/
Sound effects will also require editing of the soundlist.ini file in order to work.
I’ve included a modified soundlist.ini file, for those who do not have it extracted.
Warning: Be careful if you already have an existing custom soundlist.ini file, as it will be overwritten. In that case, simply add the following lines (shown below), taking care to follow the existing numbering sequence (the soundlist.ini will reside in your flight folder). Use the supplied soundlist.ini as a guide.
SoundFileXXX=Underway
SoundFileXXX=ReductionGear

Known issues:
1) The supplied SA-N-11 Kortik SAMs are not precisely scaled, so they were placed in the center of each Kashtan's missile tube cluster. They also do not have a defined booster stage in their model file, so don't expect booster separation. Also, the actual SA-N-11 is guided by an optical tracking system in real life. Again, this is not supported by the series, so they were given high counter-measure rejection and probability of intercept values, to compensate.
2) As of the present date (October 7 2012) Third Wire does not support a PROPER VLS system on a vessel that's also equipped with mutiple SAM types, on slewable mounts. To put it simply, one can have a working VLS system and nothing else, or one can have working Kashtans. I chose the latter option, though the nodes and missiles are supplied if this situation were to change in the future.
3) Third Wire has not made provisions for a working "ski-jump", so virtual bow catapults are used instead, and aircraft thus launched will appear to fly through the bow ramp.

TSF Saab JAS 39 Sea Gripen-C Package.
By JonathanRL
Installation:
Unzip the entire package into your mod folder, usually Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 or similar.
Information:
The Sea Gripen is Saabs take on a Carrier Borne Fighter, based off their Saab Gripen NG Project. It was however some ideas that the C version also
would be an ideal platform for navies with smaller Carriers as a gap-filler until the Gripen NG entered the market. The idea has since been scrapped.
However, this is the What-If Section and since we like Saab does not have a Gripen NG (E/F) available, we made one off the Gripen-C instead.
Good Gripen-C Templates are included and free for use.
This package contains one Aircraft with five skins, correct serials, nation-specific loadouts and correct weapons.
Saab Demonstrator: Two made, modified from Swedish Air Force Gripen-Cs. Initally built as a proof-of-concept but then transferred for demonstrations and
practical trials. First naval operation trials was made on the USS George H.W Bush during 2012. Alongside the many details in the contract, Saab retained
the right to the US Navy Digital Camo for use upon the airframe. Official demonstrations of these Aircraft is said to have been boosted by Saabs decision to
give out free copies of The Scandinavian Front during air shows.
Swedish Air Force: The Swedish Air Force, in a frenzy to find new budget cuts for their Armed Forces decided to refit a Wing of Fighters from the Gripen-C to
the Sea Gripen-C instead of upgrading them to the Gripen NG. The wing was then activated in 2014 as part of the Swedish Air Force Rapid Reaction Force where
Carrier Landings in NATO Operations may be a requirement. The wing is based at F 21 Luleå and have access to the USS Queen Elizabeth for Carrier Training for their pilots.
Brazilian Naval Avitation: The Brazilian Navy was the first nation to adopt the Aircraft for their navy, making the development of the Aircraft a requirement
for the later approval of the Gripen NG Contract. VF-1 recived the Aircraft and begun training in 2014 and declared themselves operation for duty on the A 12
Sao Paulo in early 2016, making a flyover at the Olympic Games. Brazil has scored most kills with their Gripens, shooting down dozens of Drug Smuggling Aircraft
and boats every month.
Indian Fleet Air Arm: Following the defence paper of 2011, the carrier INS Viraat was to be decomissioned in 2020. However, without the Sea Harriers, she had been
reduced to a Helicopter Carrier. Doubting both the Gripen NGs and the Rafaeles capacity to land upon her decks, the Sea Gripen-C was tested and subsequently bought 20 aircraft
with a requirement for a quick delivery. The Indian Navy has expressed interest to retain the INS Viraat for a longer period of time, satisfied with the combination.
Royal Navy: Following the near-crash-and-recovery of the F-35 Project saw the Royal Navy reducing the ammount of Aircraft to equip their Queen Elizabeth Class Carriers with.
In order to retain maximum value for the Carriers built, the F-35B entered a Fleet Defence and offensive air combat role with the Gripen-C with both low purchase and operating costs
deemed the best alternative. The 801th Naval Air Squadron with battle honours from world war II, Korea and the Falklands was reactivated to fly the aircraft, putting them in the front line
for Britannic Security Policy once again. The Royal Navy is pleased with the Aircraft and has expressed interest to upgrade to the Gripen NG in the 2020s.

[Fictional] Hawker Hunter F.6M - Irish Air Corps
By Spinners
Hawker Hunter F.6M for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of the Third Wire DLC Hawker Hunter F.6(60) to give a fictional Hunter F.6M in service with the Irish Air Corps during the 1966 to 1988 timeline.
You'll need DLC001 - the Hunter F.6 (60) of the Royal Netherlands Air Force for this to work but if you haven't got it you can hack this package to use whatever stock Hunters you have but expect to lose some functionality.
Colourful fictional markings for all four Irish provinces are included;
No.1 Connacht Squadron
No.2 Leinster Squadron
No.3 Munster Squadron
No.4 Ulster Squadron
If you'd prefer to use the standard RAF scheme then I've included a Patch template to help you easily produce the Patch.bmp for your skin folders.
Also included are an Irish Air Corps Pilot and the 'Sleagh' infra-red homing air-to-air missile which is simply a licence-built Red Top but with the familiar IRM growl and an orange skin. Stock RedTops can be used and these Hunters are equipped with the Lightning gunsight which gives a quirky visual confirmation that your missile has lock-on.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Hunter6iac folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Hunter6iac folder into your Decals folder.
3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_IAC folder into your Pilots folder.
4. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the SLEAGH folder into your Weapons folder.
CREDITS
As always, big thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.
And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

[Fictional] Flygvapnet Skin for Cocas' F-32
By Spinners
Flygvapnet Skin for Cocas' F-32
Released 'as is' after being requested by Cocas for his very inventive F-32 'Joint Strike Fighter' early proposal this is a fictional Flygvapnet skin for F21.
There is a slight limitation in that the nose insignia also appear on the inside of the aircraft but with your ejection seat in place you will hardly notice this.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-32 folder into your main Aircraft folder and overwrite if asked.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-32 folder into your main Decals folder and overwrite if asked.
CREDITS
As always, thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.
Thanks to the prolific and talented Cocas for bringing us this alternate version of the F-32.
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

BAC Lightning F.52 (Saudi Arabia)
By Spinners
BAC Lightning F.Mk 52 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (EP2)
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire BAC Lightning F.2 to make the little-known F.Mk 52 version that was exported to Saudi Arabia as part of 'Operation Magic Palm' an early UK supplied defence package that also saw the supply of Lightning T.Mk 54 trainers, Hawker Hunters and Thunderbird SAM's. Four F.Mk 2's were withdrawn from RAF stocks and were refurbished at BAC Warton to F.Mk 52's before being delivered to the Royal Saudi Air Force in 1966 with a fifth F.Mk 52 joining them in 1967. Rather confusingly, four of these five aircraft were re-serialled so there are nine serial numbers included here.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Lightning52 folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Lightning52 folder into your main Decals folder.
3. From the SOUNDS folder drag and drop the Avon_Dry and Avon_Wet files into your main Sounds folder.

[Fictional] Corsair GR.1 - RAF South East Asia Command
By Spinners
BAC/Vought Corsair GR.1 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2:VIETNAM
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire A-7B to give a fictional BAC/Vought Corsair GR.1 with markings for No.8 and No.20 squadrons of RAF South East Asia Command.
BACKSTORY
The UK General Election of October 1964 saw a new Labour government slip into power with a slender four-seat majority but this did not deter their planned shake-up of the UK Defence Budget. Whilst many observers felt that the TSR.2 programme would survive until at least the 1965 April budget it was not that great a shock when the axe fell earlier than expected in November 1964 with a bland announcement that a three-month study period of the RAF's tactical strike and recconnaisance requirements would be immediately started as part of a much broader Emergency Defence Review.
The Emergency Defence Review of February 1965 concluded that the RAF needed a more flexible force and recommended a mix of aircraft with a small force of sophisticated all-weather tactical strike aircraft, a much larger force of tactical attack machines plus an improved interceptor-fighter force equipped with longer-range aircraft than the totally inadequate Lightning.
Whilst initially ordered as a replacement for the Hunter the Spey-enginned Phantoms already on order (thanks to an order placed by the outgoing Conservative Government in February 1964) were now allocated to air defence duties to replace the Lightnings in the UK and RAF Germany squadrons. For the tactical strike role it was no surprise that the F-111 was ordered but, like the Phantoms, with Spey engines which soon hit many of same problems encountered by the Spey-Phantoms.
For the RAF's tactical attack role almost no one foresaw the purchase of Ling-Temco Vought's VAL contender (later designated A-7 Corsair II) as it had only just been selected, literally days earlier, by the US Navy as their A-4 Skyhawk replacement. The UK Government simply couldn't resist putting the non-afterburning Spey into their version of the Corsair but, thankfully, this was a much happier marriage and LTV had actually already planned their A-7 to use this engine as an insurance policy and to be able to offer an export version of their promising design. As some sort of feeble compensation to BAC for the loss of the TSR.2 the UK Government negotiated with LTV a manufacturing licence for BAC to licence-build all British production aircraft although this
was more of a final assembly deal plus partnering on all European and Commonwealth sales which actually became quite lucrative for BAC.
Development moved swiftly and apart from minor delays due to the substitution of the TF-30 for the Rolls-Royce Spey RB.168-2A turbofan engine the only other delay was caused by the substitution of the Colt Mk12 20mm cannon for British 30mm Aden (with reduced round capacity) and progress was certainly helped by having the prototypes built and test-flown in the USA and the British Corsairs simply slotted into the very smooth and highly successful LTV Corsair programme that saw the A-7A move from operational requirement to squadron service in three years. Entering service as the Corsair GR.1 in early 1968 the aircraft was extremely popular in RAF service and served until late 1991 after seeing service in Desert Storm.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the CorsairGR1 folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the CorsairGR1 folder into your main Decals folder.
3. From the SOUNDS folder drag and drop the Spey_Dry file into your main Sounds folder.
