SF2 BRIEFINGS RETROFIT MOD 1.0
 
This small mod does exactly that - it retrofits the SF1/WoV/WoE series style missions briefings to the current Gen 2 SF2 series!
 
INSTALLATION:
 
Very easy. Unpack the archive somewhere safe and the copy the CONTENT of a GAME SPECIFIC folder to its's corresponding MOD directory. I.e. content of "To SF2_Europe mod folder" in most cases should end up in "c:\Username\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\" and so on.
 
Enjoy the wind of nostalgia! ^_^

Texas/Mexico tileset
for ASW terrain by Wrench, The
 
(should work with any maps created using stock "Desert.cat" tileset, series1 backward compatible format)
 
This is set of 1024x1024 tiles created for Wrench's Texas/Occupied Mexico terrain (known as ASW -America South West)
 
Right now being sort of fully functioning beta, it does not include dedicated/borrowed tod files ("treemod") due to my lack of time

This is re-release of my tileset for Gepard's Formosa Strait/Taiwanhaxia map.
 
These are the original "lost and found" tiles I created in 2010 for Taiwan and released previously in downscaled 512 version.
 
Included are two seasons, all the .tods (trees, buildings; both in small and big versions), necessary inis and other bits and pieces from the original release, slightly tweaked here and there. Oh, slightly different trees graphics too.
 
You can install this either into clean version of Gepard's terrain, or into your existing already modded Formosa
(that is with the !RECOMMENDED! Wrench's fixes and tweaks, my previous tileset/treemod)
 
 
 

A skin for Dels' AH-64D specifically but can be used on his AH-64A as well. Simply drop the folders where they need to be and go fly. Note this is the skin only.

RDAF F-100D Superpack
 
This is an extensive remake/update of previous
great Hgbn masterpieces for SF-1 (all credits to him),

Improved Afterburner Effects for Strike Fighters 2 V1.0
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Installation:
 
Put the .INI and .TGA files in the Effects folder.
User\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFihgters2\Effects
 
<<<VERY IMPORTANT!>>>
 
Then the real work begins:
 
Open the DATA.ini of the aircraft you want to use these effects.
 
Since this effect is a combination of 2 emitters, one volumetric and the other in the form of a ribbon(for shock diamonds)... You need to duplicate the engine or engines in this way:

This is a F-15E Strike Eagle cockpit. This cockpit belongs to Paladrian, and, with his authorization, I am uploading it for all of you. Inside the folder, you'll find a folder called "Cockpit" and two .ini files. Copy them into your F-15E Strike Eagle folder and overwrite the files. Hope you like it!!!

PD: NO README FILE!!! The instruction and all staff is above.

MiG-15UTI "Midget" Jet Trainer by Pasko, for SF2
=For SF2, Any and All (but Full-4 Merged Prefered/Reccomended)
 
Modification, tweeks, compilations and other adjustments to Pasko's MiG-15UTI trainer, to bring in more in line with SF2 requirements.
 
Data ini tweeks include an all new FM, based off the stock 15bis; please note that as that is usually an AI-only aircraft, there may be some small issues. Fly accordingly.
 
Several skin/decal sets have been compiled from the Archives, to try and present as complete a set as possible. Included skins are:
 
Soviet Silver
EAF Silver
LSK Silver
Mozambique (a pale blue)
Desert camo (Iraqi)
 
Also included are the weapons (ok, the slipper-style drop tank), 'Early MiG' pilot figures and M15 seat, and the VK-1 sound. New Post-Oct patch SF2 hangar screens are included, rebuilt from the original 2004 release version. As expected, the canopy still operates via the standard or garden variety manual animation keystroke -shift/0.
 
Is should be noted, that most of the original work was done by suhjake, and is taken from his MiG-15bis & 15UTI pack from 2009 (available here at CA). I just did a little fine tuning and compiling. THIS pak replaces the UTI from that one.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! As always, the usual "Notes" section for other interestering details and stuff.
 
Happy Landings!

Ground Effects Collection
---------------------------------
 
Just a few sample noise textures from the hordes I have collected & been experimenting with.
 
They replace the stock noisenormal.bmp that create an impressive feeling of substance, texture & speed at low level.
Enhancing already detailed terrains & giving new life to older low rez tiles. :-)
 
Installation:
---------------
 
Select a NOISENORMAL.bmp from on of the numbered folders & place it in the specific terrain folder that you intend to use it for.
 
E.G.: \Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Terrains\Desert
 
Notes:
--------
 
Terrain texture needs to be set to High or Unlimited to see the effects!!!!
 
Best results are when that sun is at a lower angle, at noon the ground effect is not as visible!!!!
 
Some noise textures work better than others on some terrains! You'll have to experiment with what works best with your particular tile set.
 
As a guide this is what I use but you may find others more suitable.
 
Desert: NOISENORMAL - 2
Grass or foliage: NOISENORMAL - 7
General: NOISENORMAL -3
 
 
Problems/bugs:
------------------
 
All texturs have been tested in SF2 fully mereged. (BuildDate=Aug 2011)
I have noticed no adverse effects on my system & game settings!
 
However....
 
Some users could experience slight haze or shimmering depending on there system, game & graphics card settings.
 
My FPS seems unaffected but some users could experience a slight FPS drop.
 
 
Credits:
---------
 
These textures have been made’ free to use’ & have been collected from a variety of locations on the net.
All credit goes to their original creators & only minor changes have been done by me.
 
 
 
Enjoy

As of the end of October 2011 Libya is without its dictator
and a free nation.In Malta, a Mirage F.1 was revealed recently, sporting
a new roundel combined with the old flag of red over black over green
with the white moon and star. this is an effort to recreate that particular
set of new markings, together with a new nations.ini entry.
 
Hope you'll enjoy the new Libyan insignia!

PS: Greatest thanks to Soulman and ludo.m54 for their help and advice!

This is a skin for the SH-60 representing the SH-60J of the Japan Maritime Self Defense Force, No.51 Squadron based in Atsugi. The SH-60J is license-built by Mitsubishi and is a hybrid of the SH-60B and SH-60F. However the performance is similar enough that an entirely new aircraft mod for this sim is probably not necessary.
 
To install, simply extract the files to their matching folders. NOTE: This addon does NOT contain the aircraft itself; please get it from the A-Team rotorworks site. Though I'm releasing this mod for SF2, there's no reason you can't use it for the first gen titles.
 
 
If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

Alternate 1024x1024 tiles for the stock desert terrain

Ive been working on this mod for quite awhile and I think I have finally
 
got it working without any bugs or kinks you know the unusual pink or
 
green cloud floating around here or there on the horizon.It makes the
 
scattered and broken clouds look great as far as the inclement clouds they
 
look good from the top but,from the bottom not so much.There has always
 
been a problem with the bottom of inclement clouds no matter which cloud
 
mod you use at least that's what I have found.The CLOUD1 TARGA
 
file comes from the Clouds big mod for IL2 by MANYSH and has been heavily
 
edited by me for use in the SF 1 series by Thirdwire,I hope he approves of
 
the effect his file creates for this game and I greatly appreciate his
 
original work and thank him for it.I have forgotten where I got the
 
ENVIRONMENTSYSTEM ini it has been along time and so much editing ago the
 
author of the original has slipped my mind,so if you see your work in here
 
I hope you approve and I thank you.As far as impact on the FPS I haven't
 
experienced any loss or if I have it's barely noticeable.This mod has been
 
created around Cellinksy's "Widesky" Environment Mod so if your not using
 
it,you may want to get it.The clouds have been tested in WOV
 
1st series and WOI 1st series it may work in the other 1st series titles
 
to you'll just have to try it and see.I do not guarantee it will work in the SF 2 series.

This is my version of the SFR Yugoslav MiG-29A. The one ordered from the USSR in 1986, after that it was repainted to the SR Yugslav MG-29A, and today it's the Serbian MiG-29A.

Mig-17F(Lim5)_PWL_Camo
 

 
- PWLCamo001
 
- HANGARSCREEN 1024 x 768
 
- LOADINGSCREEN 1024 x 768
 

 
*This skinis designed exclusively for the type of Mig-17F. This skin type is not suitablefor Mig-17, paintscheme not compatible, airbrakes of both types are placeddifferently in the schema. The skin is not suitable for the type series Mig-PF,is not part of the skin with a radar nose, the nose would remain in the metalcolor.
 

 
*This skinis designed and tested for version of WoE. This skin is compatible withversions of WOI, but in the Middle East this camouflage has never been used. Compatibilityof the skin with other versions of the game is not verified.This skin isonly for Europe. This camouflage was used by the Air Force of Poland. AircraftMig-17F produced and used in Poland were identified as the LIM-5.
 

 
*I made askin of aircraft worn and abraded. Aircraft in combat operations looksdifferent than the plane to air show...
 
I usedthe excellent original silver skin as a base for the Polish camouflage. I thankthe author of the silver skin for a great job.
 

 
INSTALATION:
 

 
*You mustextract the folder Mig-17F(Lim5)_PWL_Camo. Folder PWLCamo001 save to afolder MiG-17F which is in the Aircraft folder in your game WoE.
 
That'sit.
 

 
*You wantto have generated the skin in the game? Procedure: In TextureSet.ini file isthe text you copied into your file Mig-17F.ini (configuration settings). Fileconfiguration settings MiG-17F.ini is located in the MiG-17F aircraft folder inyour game. You need to copy it for your last TextureSet in the configurationsettings (Mig-17F.ini). Number set in your last update, the original shape isthis: [TextureSet000]. This TextureSet must be updated with your lastTextureSet in file TextureSet.ini. Whenyou finish this, if you choose this skin, before the flight you automaticallychange the marking on the Polish.
 

 
*Part ofthe package is hangarscreen and loadingscreen. If you want to install, here'show:
 
Mig_17F_LOADING.bmpand Mig-17FHANGAR.bmp copy to your folder MiG-17F. This text:
 
LoadingScreen= Mig-17F_loading.bmp
 
HangarScreen= Mig-17F_hangar.bmp
 
you mustcopy to a AircraftData which is in yourfile Mig-17F.ini. If you do, your new hangarscreen and loadingscreen will be using the aircraft MiG-17F.
 

 
*Thankyou for your interest in this skin. I wish you happy hunting ... ;)
