SF2 KAW Era F4U/AU-1 Corsair Pak by TMF
By Wrench
SF2 Korean War Era F4U/AU-1 Corsair Pak by TMF
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
This package contains theTMF Corsairs for use during the Korean War. There are 4 complete aircraft in this pak, with a ship-load of skins/decal sets.
Skins/Decal sets are included for the following units:
F4U-4:
VF-24 "Renegades" (USS Boxer, 7/50-11/50)
VF-63 "Fighting Redcocks" (same as above)
VF-64 "Freelancers" (same as above)
VF-113 "Stingers"(USS Philippine Sea, 7/50-3/51)
VF-114 "Excutioners" (same as above)
VMF-312 "Checkboards" (Shore based, various fields in Korea)
F4U-4B:
VF-53 (USS Essex 1/51-3/52)
VF-54 (same as above)
VF-192 (USS Princeton, 11/51-5/52)
VF-791 "Fighting Rebels" (USS Boxer, 3/51-10/51)
VMA-323 "Deathrattlers" (shore based, various fields in Korea)
VMA-332 "Polka Dots" (USS ??? -flew off CVE)

F4U-5NL:
VC-3 (various Dets aboard ship)
VMF-513 "Flying Nightmares" (shore based, various fields)
AU-1:
VMA-212 "Devil Cats" (land based until 1951, transfered to USS Bataan)
VMA-323 (used F4U from USS Badoeng Strait, 1950; shore based after?)
*Please note, many Corsair squadrons flew both the -4 and -4B at the same time. As the aircraft are mapped identically, it's an easy job to swap out skins/decal sets, for those so inclined. There is also one 'Easter Egg' squadron, as you all know how I hate wasting good skins/decal sets!! *
The aircraft is fully carrier-capable, with all the SF2NA coding for deck 'parking'.
Skins are in jpg format, so you MUST be at (minimum) Nov 2011, or the Latest July 2012 patch level (HIGHLY suggested!!!). All markings are decals and are Randomized. BuNums are accurate for the aircraft variant depicted, but not for the actual ones used by the squadrons; consider them 'generic' for that purpose.
Standard Animations keystrokes are used for the canopy (Shift/0) and wingfold (shift/9) *Note the -4/-4B wingfold no longer works for some inexplicable reason*.
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
Good Hunting!

SF2 WW2 Focke Wulf FW-190A4, JG2, MTO
-- Something for the WW2 MTO players --
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged ( Full-5 Reccomended/Preferred) =
*Note: this mod is designed for use =ONLY= in the MTO envrionment.*
**This mod is designed to REPLACE any 1stGen variant you may have in your WW2 MTO intalls. It is reccomended you delete the skin and decals folders of the originals, as to NOT cause any conflicts with THIS mod.**
Reskin/Redecaling for the recently released FW-190A4 recreates JG2 'Richthofen' as seen in North Africa/Tunisia region during late 1942 (early 43??) and onward.
The aircraft is finished in a 'solid' desert tan, with white ID bands. Skins are in jpg format, decal randomization is set to TRUE. This set contains the markings for the various gruppe officers (<, <<, etc). With luck, they're pretty close.
If you don't have the aircraft yet, you can get it here:
http://combatace.com/files/file/13688-sf2-ww2-focke-wulf-fw-190a-4-eto/
However, you WILL be doing some light ini editing BEFORE adding this skin. See "To Install Notes" for more details.
Remember, this is for a WW2 MTO-centric mods folder ONLY!!!
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, the "Notes" section for other important stuff of interest.

= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged ( Full-5 Reccomended/Preferred) =
*There is a possibility that this mod may work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. However due to
the excessive modifications made to fit into the SF2 environment, not all features will be
avaliable.*
*Note X2: this mod is designed for use =ONLY= in the ETO envrionment. Specific versions for use
in the MTO will be released seperatly, if required*
Mods, rebuilds, reskining/redecaling for Wolf's FW-190. This is the second of a series of FW-
190 upgrades, that will cover those models (while still based off Wolf's original LOD), that
were/are available from the 1stGen SF/Wo* mods previously released. With required upgrades for
SF2.
This mod is designed to REPLACE any 1stGen variant you may have in your WW2 ETO intalls. It is
reccomended you delete the aircraft and decals folders of the originals, as to NOT cause any
conflicts with THIS mod.
This package represents FW-190A-5s as deployed in Western Europe. Skins/Decals in this pak are:
2/JG2 (with partial fues Eagle marking)
JG26 (once again, the slightly generic FW-190, this time with a slightly mottled fues camo)
Both represent aircraft from late 1942 onwards.
Skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
A (semi) compliant SF2 FM was cobbled together from various sources. As always, while it works
quite well, further fine tuning is required by Experten.

Hangar and/or Loading screens.
Please note, the engine sound in this one has been changed to the AVHistory BMW 801 sound. It's

Fictional Saab/BAE Gripen FGR1
By mikeymead
Saab/BAE Gripen FGR1 For Strike Fighters 2.
Simple mod of the Gripen Team's Saab Gripen to represent a fictional angloised RAF version of the Gripen.
Small changes made such as Eurojet2000 engine instead of Volvo unit. Slightly up rated pylon weights and RAF spec loadouts.
3 new skins to represent 6, 25 & 74 Squadrons.
Installation.
Drop all folders into your desired mod folder.(let it over write)
Run and save both weapons and guns editors.(I think this is necessary for new weapons to show up)
That should be it.
Best used with the SF2 Weapons Pack by 331Killerbee.
Thanks to:-
The Gripen team for creating the Gripen mod.
Brain32 for converting the Gripen to SF2.
Spinners for his RAF decal pack.
Tk for the SF2 series games.
The Combatace community for helping me out when
ever I need it.

-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged ( Full-5 Reccomended/Preferred) =
*Note: this mod is designed for use =ONLY= in the ETO envrionment.
Some small fiddling-with for Geo's Volksjager. Ini work includes a 'cobbled' together SF2 (semi) compliant FM, randomization of the decals, and some (very slight!!) reclaibration of some cockpit insturments. Skin is still in it's original bmp format. Decal randomization is set to "TRUE" for the 15 decals we have. A NEW SF2 'box art' Hangar screen was created for this mod.
All bits are included: sounds, pilot figure, the gun, etc. Operational years (ok, months!) are set semi-historical, with the correct 'In Service' StartDate (end of service date is conjectural; ie: end of 45)
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Geo's original readme is included for historical purposes.

Canberra B(I) mk8
By MigBuster
Canberra B(I) mk8 for the "Strike Fighters 2" Series
by Ahmed Junaid Raza
Special thanks to "Spinners" for tweaking the 3D model to be more like the real Canberra - didn't realise they were so out!
Updated for SF 2 series by MigBuster and Spinners (July 2009)
Temp Gunpack by Wrench (July 2009)
The B(I) mk8 was derived from the B(I)mk6 and retains the same Engines, fuel load and loadout. The main change was a redesigned nose and offset fighter style canopy - which was put in place due to the targetting difficulties of the B.mk2 fishbowl style canopy.
The B.1 Mk8 Interdictor came into service in 1956 with around 69 being built. Other Later variants also used the offset Fighter style canopy.

Special thanks to "Spinners" for tweaking the 3D model to be more like the real Canberra - didn't realise they were so out!
Updated for SF 2 series by MigBuster and Spinners (July 2009)
The B.mk20 was licence built B.mk2 by the Government Aircraft Factories, Melbourne, Australia. It featured an increased fuel capacity thanks to wing fuel tanks and outer wing pylons were also added.
The B.mk20 was used by the Australian RAAF between around 1966 and 1971 in conflict during the Vietnam war as part of the US 35th TFW.
The version in this pack is the later model with the Avon 109 engines and has outer wing pylons according to pictures ive seen. It is also mentioned that the RAAF could use wingtip racks for extra bombs though not too sure on that.

RAF0 skin by Spinners
RAF1 skin by Michael (Mike1) Riddell
Updated for the SF2 series by MigBuster and Spinners (July 2009)
The RAF's first bomber, the Canberra, had a career spanning over 51 years on the front lines. Chief designer W. Petter had just joined the design team at English Electric when work began on the Canberra. He changed the swept wings of the original design to a more unconventional design with the engines part way out on, and embedded in, the wing. The end sections of the wings were broad and square, and two powerful Rolls-Royce Avon engines completed the design. The crew of two sat side-by-side in a pressurized cabin. With good fuel economy, and excellent maneuverability at all altitudes, the EE.A1 was an instant success.
The prototype was first flown on May 13, 1949, and was problem-free. The first four prototypes were designated the Canberra B.MK 1, and were intended for use with a radar-assisted bomb aiming system. A delay in this system led to the production of a day bomber prototype, the Canberra B.MK 2, and the first operational aircraft were delivered on May 25, 1951.
Around 410 B.mk2s were built for the RAF - some saw action in the 1956 Suez crisis.

B-57C Pakistan Air Force
By MigBuster
Canberra B-57C for the "Strike Fighters 2" Series
by Ahmed Junaid Raza
Pakistan was the only real foreign user of the B-57, with 24 B-57Bs and two B-57Cs passed on in 1959 under the US Military Assistance Program. From 1963, they were fitted with the RB-1A "Georgia Peach" all-weather bombing system, giving these machines a longer nose. Some of the Pakistani B-57Bs were also modified to allow them to carry four external tanks, permitting them to conduct strikes deep inside India.
Pakistani B-57Bs performed strikes during the 1965 Indo-Pakistani War, flying 167 sorties, with three lost in combat, but as mentioned destroying three IAF Canberras on the ground. They also saw combat in the brief 1971 Indo-Pakistan War, with reports of four or five lost in combat. The Pakistani B-57s remained in service well into the 1980s, being the last of the breed flying in military colors.

The Pakistani B-57s remained in service well into the 1980s, being the last of the breed flying in military colors.

B-57G Tropic Moon III
By MigBuster
Canberra B-57G for "Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam"

New Avionics and TV by MiGBuster
USAF2 Tropic Moon skin by MiGBuster
READ the instructions - includes how to use the TV/FLIR etc
16 B-57Bs were converted to B-57G standard and used in Vietnam from 1970 to 1972
flying from Tailand for the Tropic Moon III project, and was a pioneer in laser
guided technology. The B-57G had built in sensors such as a low light TV system,
FLIR, and a laser giudance system. This enabled it to carry 4 x 500lb Laser guided
bombs and self designate targets for them. The 20mm wing cannons were deleted due
to the weight of the LGBs. 4 bombs were also carried in the bomb bay (unconfirmed).
Its mission was to hunt trucks over the notorious Ho Chi Minh Trail.

RB-57A Canberra

Martin RB-57A Canberra for the "Strike Fighters 2" Series
by Ahmed Junaid Raza
B.2 Cockpit with bombardier view by Daniel "Kessselbrut" Himmel
Original skin and ini work by pappychksix
Updated for SF2 by MiGBuster (July 2009)
The USAF ordered English Electric Canberras as a need to fill a mission gap - however the order could not be fulfilled in the UK so Martin was able to license build Canberras under the B-57 designation.
The B-57A looks similar to the Canberra B mk2 however there were actually many differences - not least the the Wright J65 engines. Due to the bubble canopy, targetting the guns was found to be very difficult, and so the canopy and nose were totally redesigned into what became the B-57B.
The RB-57A was the first real production model of the B-57 with around 67 being built for a photo recon role. They served from 1954 and were withdrawn in the early 1970s. 24 RB-57As were also converted to EB-57As.

Only 8 B-57As were built.
