SF2E: TSF: Mannerheims Shield "Viking Total War" Patch
By JonathanRL
The Scandinavian Front: Operation Mannerheims Shield: Viking Total War

The project with renewing Mannerheims Shield has become slightly larger then I first anticipated; and I wanted to give you guys my reasons behind this. First of all, I worked for the original Mannerheims Campaign for several months, often awaiting skins or aircraft. At some points, I became stressed to release the campaign, when I was supposed to be thinking to make it good. I say with full honesty that I am ashamed about Campaign in Mannerheims Shield, and that I somewhat wasted the assets I was given.
I do not think it is bad, but a few missions naval battles that was not properly thought out; you guys deserved better; simply put. You deserved my original vision of a great, grand Viking Total War.
Then SF2: NA came out and we got all these new good toys, and I decided to learn how to use them; resulting in the above mentioned patches. So it is time to make the last vision come true. It will not be entirely the same of course, but it will be interesting still.
And here it is. In my full, honest opinion - This is a Viking Total War worthy of the Aircraft and skins my team provided.

Desert Duel 1981: Paran vs Dhimar, no foreign forces
By arthur666
Desert Duel:
June 1, 1981. After the war in 1975, Dhimar has become the undisputed greater economic power in the region. With their increased wealth due to rising oil prices the Dhimari decide to invest in a stronger millitary to counter the ever-looming threat of their southern neighbors.
Seeing that Dhimar is purchasing new advanced weaponry such as F-16 fighters and new Sidewinder "L" missiles, Paran launches a full scale attack on the Kingdom of Dhimar before they can continue the military buildup with stronger ground forces.
Divisions of Parani troops and heavy armor are rolling north under a cloud of MiGs. The Dhimari military is scrambling to repel the onslaught. Their new hardware is about to be put to the ultimate test.
Nothing groundbreaking or terribly creative here. This is a simple campaign, based on the stock Desert Fury campaign with mostly stock aircraft. I wanted a Paran vs Dhimar campaign with no foreign forces. Fly Dhimari aircraft including the MirageIII & 5, F-4E, A-4, F-16A, Kfir, Lightning and F-104. I've enjoyed playing this campaign, and maybe someone else will too.
Requirements :
StrikeFighters 2
Strikefighters 2 Israel
Strikefighters 2 Europe
Optional: (included)
Flyable F-104G, files by Thirdwire for SF1, thanks to Wrench for "how to" in Combatace.com forum.
...also, in my personal install I opened the .ini files for each Israeli aircraft and changed the names from the Hebrew to the American (ex. Netz to Falcon, Kurnass to Phantom, Nesher to Mirage5). It's really personal preference and just a suggestion.

P-51D Mustang "Nose Arts" Skinpak
By Wrench
P-51D Mustang "NoseArt" Skin Pak
= For SF2, Any & All, PLUS! SF2:I ExpansionPak 1 =
** SF2:I Exp1 is REQUIRED!!!!, as it contains the P-51D. If you do =NOT= have it, don't download
this mod, as you'll be unable to use it!!! This pack may also be usable in WoI, with it's
Expansion Pak. This has NOT been tested**
A new skin for WW2/Post-War Mustangs that adds 100 nose arts decals, culled from various and
sundry other skins/projects I've done, plus several new ones. Some are historically accurate for
the period depicted; Some will be 'anachronistic' for the late 1940s, but that's part of the fun!
A new P-51 skin is included, that has the red spinner repainted back to a more 'natural metal'
look.
Decal Randomization is set to TRUE. Skin maps are in jpg format.
- PARENTAL ADVISORY: This pack contains several artworks that depict the nude human female form
(ok, right, well actually, MOST of them do!!). If you find these to be offensive, you should
consult your doctor and/or psycholigist immeadately (if not sooner), as there must be something
quite wrong with you!!
Users under 18 years of age must have permission from a parent or guardian to download this mod.
Happy Oggling!

F-100D Armée de l'Air complete
By paulopanz
F-100D Armée de l'Air
I started this mod of stock SF-2 F-100D to upgrade old TMF SF-1 as
we needed it for SF-2 EU campaigns.
It took me so far that with a big help from Ludo, who made ALL the historical numbers,
so ALL squadrons were made in silver and/or camo.
- 1/3 Navarre (silver)
- 2/3 Champagne (silver)
- 1/11 Roussillon (silver & camo)
- 2/11 Vosges (silver & 2 camo)
- 3/11 Corse (silver)
- 4/11 Jura (2 camo)
The refuel probe is deleted but if You'ld want to install (as in loading screen)
simply use included alternative F-100D-FR_DATA(Refuel).ini.
As a tribute to TMF I included original readme of SF 1 model.
That's all.

Early soviet jet cockpit (Hunter F.1 repaint)
By Stary
Early soviet jet cockpit
FOR STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 with Expansion Packs 2!
YOU NEED EXPANSION PACK 2 TO USE THIS MODIFICATION!
LOD file not included!
by Stary
version 0.5 working beta
07.12.2010
This is simple repaint of stock Hunter F.1 cockpit to make it stand-in for early soviet jets.
Working beta, not historically accurate at the moment at all, bares minimal resemblance with Mig-9, Mig-13, Yak-15 or Yak-23 cockpits.
Currently gauges are still in english (I know very, very little russian, curses mostly...) and still calibrated to knots/feet/gallon units.
No gauges or parts movement tricks at the moment, just basic repaint.

Mig-17 PF/PFU cockpit
By Stary
This is simplified Mig-17PF/PFU cockpit. Right now it is released as final beta so there are some issues with this pit, but generally it's working.
Avionics are slightly what if, but works ok given the limitations in portraying of Red side birds.

SF2 Europe A-10A Loadout Mod
By malibu43
SF2E A-10A Loadout Mod Readme
by Malibu43
This mod contains some alternative loadouts for the two A-10A variants in SF2E, as well as a modified LAU-88 rack that allows 2 AGM-65's to be carried vs 3 (Based on images and forums I've read through, this seems to be more accurate. From what I understand, A-10's are never loaded with 3 AGM-65's on one rack). In addition to hopefully being a little more accurate, it also makes CAS a little more fun as it will require you to use something other than guided, stand-off weapons to complete the mission (they put that big gun on the front for a reason!). Strike, Recon, and SEAD loadouts have been tweaked as well.
New loadouts are as follows:
Attack:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
4 x AGM-65
4 x MK20
Strike:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
2 x AGM-65
4 x MK82
SEAD:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
4 x AGM-65
4 x CBU-24B
Anti-ship:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
2 x MK84
FAC:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
2 x LAU-32A
Recon:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
2 x LAU-32A
2 x AGM-65
2 x MK82
2 x CBU-24B
1. Requirements:
- SF2E
- You have the LAU-32A rocket pod installed (included in Nato Fighters 4+). If you don't have the LAU-32A installed, you can do a find and replace for "LAU_32A" in both of the included loadout files and replace that with "LAU-3A", which is a stock weapon.
2. Installation:
a. Extract the contents of this .rar file somewhere temporary.
b. Drop the folder named "2_LAU-88A" into *SF2E Mod Folder*/Objects/Weapons
c. Drop the two *_loadout.ini files into their respective aircraft folders (A-10A, A-10A_78) in the *SF2E Mod Folder*/Objects/Aircraft directory.
3. Enjoy!
If there are any questions or problems, please PM me at Combatace.com.
This mod may not be used in any payware. It can be used for free as long as appropriate credit is given.
Thanks,
Malibu43
Note: updated 9-29-10 to correct LAU-32A entries.
Note: updated again on 9-30 to correct... LAU-32A entries
Note: updated 3-13-11 to correct LAU-32A entries and change some loadouts
Note: updated 7-8-11 to correct an error in naming the new LAU-88 rack. Don't know how that wasn't missed before...
Note: Jeez.. Updated 7/11/11 to account for a change with the July '11 patch.

Vampire cockpit -single-engine Egyptian-modified (combat veteran)
By ordway
This is a single-engine Egyptian-Modified Vampire jet cockpit for SFP2 with single engine gages based on the Thirdwire Meteor cockpit. You need SFP2 Israel and expansion pack.
It is a combat veteran and fought air to air combat against Israeli Meteors, Dassault Ouragans, Mystere IVAs and later against Pakistani F-86 Sabres according to sources.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has gages moved, and BMP gages and bitmaps added from multiple Vampire color cockpit photos and the DH Vampire cockpit manual.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBAT HISTORY:
MIDDLE EAST:
First Middle East jet combats occurred in 1955.
September 1, 1955, - 2 Egyptian FB.52 vampires were shot down by an Israeli Gloster Meteor.
Another Egyptian FB.52 Vampire was shot down by a Dassault Ouragan April 12, 1956.- Shlomo Aloni, Arab-Israeli Air Wars 1947-82, p23.

By 11:00hrs also four Vampires strafed the Israeli column near al-Thamed, causing even more damage. They were followed by more Vampires and also Meteors of the 5 Sqn EAF, all of which were escorted by the MiG-15 and hit the Israelis very hard.
The Israelis claimed destruction of four Vampires
http://www.acig.org/...ticle_256.shtml
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INDO-PAKASTANI War
On September 1, 1965, during the Indo-Pakistani War, IAF Vampires saw action for the first time with India. No. 45 Squadron responded to a request for strikes against a counter-attack by the Pakistani Army (Operation Grand Slam) and four Vampire Mk 52 fighter-bombers were successful in slowing the Pakistani advance.
However, the Vampires encountered two Pakistan Air Force (PAF) F-86 Sabres, armed with air to air missiles; in the ensuing dogfight, the outdated Vampires were outclassed. One was shot down by ground fire and another three were shot down by Sabres.[17] The Vampires were withdrawn from front line service after these losses.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIGHTING IN THE VAMPIRE:
The Vampire had a lower wing loading than the Meteor and therefore should be able to out turn the Meteor in a turning fight all other things being equal. The Meteor being much faster, faster climbing and more powerful will dominate a vertical fight.
1. Keep fast against enemy prop fighters...you are faster than them, but you lose energy fast and can't regain it easily.
2. Try to out turn enemy jets...you usually have a lower wingloading. The enemy Meteor is much more powerful than you, much faster than you, has a much higher climb rate then you and he can dominate a vertical fight.
The Vampire reportedly had beautiful handling qualities but was extremely underpowered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS:
REQUIREMENTS: SFP2 Israel2 and expansion pack.
Directions:
1. Download folder
2. Backup everything in Vampire52 folder (This has new Egyptian loading and hanger screens, and newini. and cockpit.ini as well as a new cockpit).
3. Download this into your aircraft folder usually located at C:\Mydocuments and settings\yourname\My Documents\Thirdwire\StrikeFighters2 Israel\Objects\Aircraft
4. Say yes when asked to overwrite.
5. Done.
Enjoy!

I took this opportunity to improve the stock skin.
IMPORTANT: no LOD is provided, SF2:E and SF2:I merged are required to use this mod.
See the readme for more infos
A big thank to all on C6 and CA forums that helped me solving issues I encountered.
Any omission in credits is totally unwanted, if I forgot somebody, let me know, I will correct this.
Enjoy

Mirage Factory F-4K/M RAF/RN SF2 Series Pack 2
By Sundowner
Mirage Factory F-4K/M RN/RAF for the SF2 series.
First and foremost lets just spend a moment remembering who made these things possible.........Olivier ANGUILLE (BPAo)....rip my friend.
Ok this is pack 2 of 3, it comprises new aircraft models and skins but you still need pack 1 installed to get the decals,sounds etc, but it does use the stock F-4M cockpits so you will need SF2 Europe installed, I have the combo pack so they've only been tested on that...patched to Feb 2010.
Installation instructions are in the readme, its there for your benifit not mine so be sure to read it.
Many thanks.
Sundowner.
