CVN Ulyanovsk v1.0 for SF2
 
This is the cancelled Soviet nuclear carrier Ulyanovsk as it would have appeared had it been finished. Works fine in campaigns.
 
Uses a few big textures. If your computer can handle Ravenclaw's Buccaneer it can probably handle this.
 
Oh, and planes will generally launch through the skijump unless you use plenty of flaps. I tried having them launch diagonally but tbh either way looks as dumb. If you absolutely cannot live with it change the catapult ID's in the .ini.
 
Known Issues:
 
None that I know of.
 
Credits:
 
Model & textures by me except a few bits that were borrowed from TW CV-63 carrier.
 
These are: Catapult rails, deck trucks, railings and deck underside.

Mikoyan i Gurevich Istrebitel I-104 for Strike Fighters 2
 
What-if history:
Back in the early 60's the commanders of the soviet VVS began to worry about the the diffusion of the F-104 in the NATO countries and the voices related to the superb performance of this plane as an interceptor.
So as soon as the Luftwaffe put into service the plane, a plan was studied on how to obtain an aircraft to examinate and therefore field a better one as soon as possible.
It was even considered an option to steal a 104 from a border base and fly it to East Germany. But nothing was practical and since the tension was very high, it could lead to war.
Then in February 1966 a recce F-104 was intercepted right into the DDR airspace and the MiG pilots forced the intruder to land. The Luftwaffe pilot having no choice agreed but when he was near to the touchdown the engine stalled. The pilot ejected safely but none knew the end of him (at least in the west). The plane crashed near the runway luckly for the soviets only few things were destroyed beyond repair or not usefull for reverse engineering.
The aircraft was rapidly airlifted to the USSR and then upon the decision of Breznev himself, given to TsAGI for tecnical investigation.
Then everything moved to a faster pace. It was decided to product a small batch of basically a cloned F-104 to flight test and discover the strengh and weak point of such design.
The task was given to the Mikoyan i Gurevich design bureau. What it came out was not a perfect copy since the radar was nearly completely destroyed in the crash. The J-79 engine was damaged too and the reverse engineering would take more time in any case.
The only engine in production at that time that will fit into the F-104 was the R-13 of the MiG-21M but it produced not enough thrust.
Only the R-21 engine was capable of giving the needed power but it suffered from many defects during the Ye-8 program. It was decided to resurrect the engine and solve the reliability problems. Now the engine had the designation of Tumanskii R-21F2-300. By the time the cloned interceptor was ready for flight.
The exact number built is unknown but estimated around 10 to 12 as it was found to be not a great challenge for the other fighters and especially for the ones of the next generation like the MiG-23. The type served as a research item and then as an aggressor till the mid of the 80's.

Top Gun A-4F 'Super Fox/ Mongoose' for Strike Fighters 2 (Mk.II)
 
This an update and replacement of the A-4 Super Fox I have previously released: http://combatace.com...updated-270111/ HOWEVER, this mod uses the DLC A-4G as the base model as it is an F model Skyhawk but without the avionics hump which is what the Super Fox is.
 
So this means if you don't have the DLC A-4G this will not work and you should stick to the previous version in the above link. If you do have the DLC A-4G delete the old Super Fox from your mods folder and use this one instead.
 
This aircraft is the modified A-4 Super Fox/ Mongoose used as an Aggressor aircraft by the US Navy Fighter Weapons School (Top Gun) from 74 till 94. The Super Fox was the ultimate adversary Skyhawk as it was equipped with updated J52-P-408 engine giving 11,200 pounds of thrust. The Super Fox also had its avionics hump and associated equipment stripped reducing its weight and giving it an impressive, better than 1:1, thrust to weight ratio. Other modifications included the wing slats being bolted closed and removal of the cannons.I have retained the countermeasure dispensers as I couldn’t find any information indicating they were removed but with no ECM or RWR I would advise you to avoid being engaged at beyond visual range.Best way to enjoy this bird is to set up a guns only dogfight with the mission editor and go head to head with a few Tomcats.
 
Additional Features:
 
- 9 different Aggressor skins including US Navy and USMC versions.
 
- Cannon barrels have been removed from the 3D model. However the cannons will still fire and I have modified the cannons to be more accurate and more reliable in an effort to more accurately simulate combat with an aggressor aircraft. By this I mean all you needed to do in real life was to get the 'enemy' aircraft in your gun sight and call "Guns kill" so jamming guns or inaccurate cannons weren't an issue so I've stoped it happening in the game.
 
- Top Gun Pilot Skin
 
INSTILLATION:
 
1, Delete previous A-4F_Super_Fox from your mods folder.
 
2, Drop the extracted files in to the appropriate folders.
 
3, If you have an extracted and modified NATIONS.INI file than add the following to it if you haven't already: (If you haven't, a modified NATIONS.INI file is included)

Mirage IIIS Swiss
 
For Strike Fighters 2 Series
 
 
Texture: Denis Oliveira

SF2 "What If" Mirage_3M (Wiss)
 
Must have SF2I or SF2 Merged for this to work on your game.
 
Copy the content from each of the folders to your respective folder on your game.
 
Contain the following aircraft:
 
J-2304
J-2308
J-2325
J-2326
R-2102
R-2106
R-2108
R-2118
 
 
NOTE 1: (Fuel Tanks)
 
The aircraft uses DLC Mirage5BA_80.LOD; which has built-in (1700-ltr fuel tank/ 500-ltr supersonic tank mesh).
Due to my asymmetrical loadout it was necessary to make a separate (1300-ltr fuel tank and 500-ltr supersonic tank).
The reason for the separate fuel tank is because of the following:
1. The aircraft does not use 1300-ltr fuel tank as part of its .LOD (I wanted to have this aircraft to be able to use the 1300-ltr tank).
2. I added a 'centersupersonictank' station for this aircraft, which cannot use the built-in mesh of the 500-ltr tank.
 
 
Note 2: (Fuel Tanks)
 
You can only pair one weapon type with the 1700-ltr tank as an asymmetrical loadout.
The reason is as follows:
1. Asymmetrical loadout with 'one' weapon type on the inner left or right station can only pair with the 1700-ltr tank if that is your selection.
2. Because I needed to have the 500-ltr supersonic tank as a pair loadout to be part of the special paint scheme of aircraft J-2308... I couldn't allow the weapon station to be asymmetrical.
3. You can still select any asymmetrical loadout with different weapon type on the inner left or right station. You just 'CAN NOT' pair it with a 500-ltr or a 1300-ltr tank.
4. You will always have a pair of 500-ltr tank or 1300-ltr tank as a set loadout on the inner wing station.
5. Center station can select a 500-ltr tank or 1300-ltr tank.

A Mod of the Mirage 2000B from Amokfloo and JAT81500 to make it look like a fictional fighter for the portuguese air force.
 
 
BACKGROUND
According to EESP (European Economic Stability Protocol) signed in the middle of 2012 in Brussels by the 27 partners of the EU, the countries with a high rate of debt (Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal etc.) had to execute all measures necessary in order to reduce their debts. In article 12 "About the defense of the homeland", the countries of the EU constituted that all redundant units had to be dissolved and the equipment to be sold.
 
Furthermore, the armies of the affected countries had to change their "non-european" equipment for european equipment. Portugal had therefore to sell their US fighterplanes and replace them by european ones. In exchange, the equipment will be cheaper than for standard customers from outside the EU.
 
The F-16s got sold to Norway. The mayor manufacturers of fighters in Europe were Dassault, Saab and the Eurofighter Corporation. The portuguese air force decided to replace the Vipers from the 301st with Gripens and the ones from the 201st with Mirage 2000B fulfilling in that way the need of a capable multirole fighter-bomber. Both planes started to be delivered at the end of 2012, being fully operational in the early 2013.
 
Portugal and Spain, in addition to several other countries, recognized the effectiveness of a digital camo and elaborated their own grey-scaled digital camo. While Spain will be using it on their next delivery of Typhoons, which will replace the F-18Cs of the Ala 12, Portugal will use it on their new planes right from the beginning.

RIP Oli

This is a simple mod adding DECM pods to the stock F-4J. Most of the rest of the aircraft is stock although i did add SPillone104s exhaust mods as are present on most of my Phantoms. I have more in progress as part of a larger pack but thought that you all might enjoy having this out there in the meantime. HUGE thanks to mppd for sending me his work on the DECM, without which this would not be possible!

This is a simple mod for the stock TW USAF Phantoms. It uses new decal folders to allow tailcodes for most units that flew after 1973, four main paint schemes that were used between Vietnam and the Phantom's Phinal Phlights in the 90's, and ini edits to take advantage of some effects, sounds and new weapons loadouts. If you wish to know more, please read the readme it should explain most everything. Thank you to Sundowner(most of the skins), Malibu43 and Spillone104, Slartibartfast, Wrench, Dave, EricJ and a host of others. I hope that You enjoy
 
built up in SF2V/E/I/EXP1 and 2, Windows Vista. Will need SF2E to make all Phantoms work. Now updated to Sep 2011 patch.
