    1. Spitfire MkIIa, No.308 (Polish) Sqn RAF, 1941

      Spitfire MkIIa, No.308 (City of Krakow) Sqn, Royal Air Force, Baginton, May 1941
       
      No.308 Squadron was the among first of the Polish fighter squadrons to be equipped with the Spitfire while based at Baginton in March 1941. This made the Poles the first Free Air Force to use the aircraft - a fitting tribute given the way they had performed during the later part of the Battle of Britain; No.303 (Kosciuszko) Sqn for example claimed more German aircraft shot down than any other Hurricane squadron - despite joining the Battle only at the end of August. The Poles, for whom the RAF was their third home after their own Air Force in 1939 and the French Air Force in 1940, had a reputation for extremely aggressive flying which the RAF did not altogether understand - but their results were eloquent, and they were given the Spitfires they craved.
       
      The markings carried in the late spring of 1941 included the Sky 'Fighter Command' band and spinner introduced in December 1940 and returned to the all-Sky undersides again after a brief period from December to April when the port wings of fighter aircraft were once again painted black. At this time, the spinner and band were in fact generally painted not Sky but Sky Blue for some reason; the correct Sky colour appeared more generally in the second half of 1941.
       
      Serial numbers in this pack correspond to aircraft used by 308 Squadron during May 1941, although many of these aircraft were on strength only for some days, for obvious reasons.
       
      For use ONLY with SF2 including the Israel Expansion Pack. This will NOT work if you do not have the stock TW Spitfires installed and working.
       
      Includes 2048 and 1024 size skin sheets.

    2. Spitfire MkIIa, No.609 Sqn RAF, 1941

      Spitfire MkIIa, No.609 (West Riding) Sqn, Auxiliary Air Force, Biggin Hill, May 1941
       
      After fighting throughout the Battle of Britain, during which it was based at Middle Wallop and produced a number of noteworthy aces, No.609 moved to Biggin Hill in February 1941. This was the time when the RAF began its 'lean forward' into occupied France, effectively turning the tables on the Luftwaffe and finally taking the fight back to the Continent.
       
      The markings carried in the late spring of 1941 included the Sky 'Fighter Command' band and spinner introduced in December 1940 and returned to the all-Sky undersides again after a brief period from December to April when the port wings of fighter aircraft were once again painted black. At this time, the spinner and band were in fact generally painted not Sky but Sky Blue for some reason; the correct Sky colour appeared more generally in the second half of 1941.
       
      Serial numbers in this pack correspond to aircraft used by 609 Squadron during May 1941, although many of these aircraft were on strength only for some days, for obvious reasons. Where a pilot has been identified as having flown a particular aircraft (The Royal Air Force did not attribute aircraft to particular pilots, although many did tend to have their favourites) that pilot has been listed in the menu. Two pilots of particular note were operational with the Squadron in May 1941; Australian ace F/L John Curchin usually flew P8098 'Z', the Enfield presentation Spitfire, and F/O John Bisdee P8264 'H' which carries his family's fleur-de-lys arms below the cockpit.
       
      For use ONLY with SF2 including the Israel Expansion Pack. This will NOT work if you do not have the stock TW Spitfires installed and working.
       
      Includes 2048 and 1024 size skin sheets.

    3. Spitfire MkI, No.66 Sqn RAF, 1939

      Spitfire MkI, No.66 Sqn, Royal Air Force, Duxford, September 1940
       
      Operating from Duxford, No.66 was the second squadron after No.19 to convert to the Spitfire in November 1938. During early 1939, the highly coloured Type A1 roundels on the fuselage and mainplanes (see my 19 Sqn 1938 Spitfire) were toned down and replaced by more discreet Type B markings as here. Squadron codes were initially "RB" but during the reshuffle which took place in the course of 1939, these became the "LZ" codes which were subsequently carried throughout the War.
       
      The markings are typical of the period from early 1939 up until early 1940; although the uppersurfaces roundels remained of Type B until late in the War, fuselage roundels changed yet again at the beginning of 1940 to move back to red-white-and-blue Type A roundels. Black-and-white undersides were replaced by Sky according to AM Signal X915 of 6th June 1940. In common with many of the early Spitfires which were delivered with undersides painted Aluminium, this aircraft's ailerons were left in aluminium paint when the black-and-white scheme was applied. This was ostensibly to prevent "balancing problems" and is commonly seen on many fighter types of the immediate pre-War period.
       
      Serial numbers given in the menu list correspond to aircraft used by 66 Squadron during 1939.
       
      For use ONLY with SF2 including the Israel Expansion Pack. This will NOT work if you do not have the stock TW Spitfires installed and working.
       
      Includes 2048 and 1024 size skin sheets.

    4. Royal Navy Skyraider Mk.1 (What If..)

      Royal Navy Skyraider Mk.1 (What If...)
       
      = For SF2 (Full-4 Merged) or SF2:V ONLY!!!- =
       
      As stated above, you MUST have a Full-4 merged, or at the VERY LEAST!! SF2:V to make use of this mod, as it accesses the A-1H lod from SF2:V. All other parts are supplied herein (except the engine sound and the centerline droptank; they're included the A-1H/A-1J updates, which you should have. If not, what's stopping you? They're available at the following URLs:
       
      http://combatace.com/files/file/11249-3rdw-a-1h-skin-and-ini-update-pak/
      http://combatace.com/files/file/11252-3rdw-a-1j-skyraider-skins-and-ini-update-pak/
       
      Yes, shamless self-promotion <grin>) Other than the aformentioned, this is a complete, new aircraft for Royal Navy usage.
       
      This is a complete update of the "What If..." RN Skyraider I released in 2005. The aircraft has 3 sets of skins (created from a HomeGrown ™ template with redrawn panel and rivet lines and etcs). The skins cover:
       
      830 NAS, in dark gray/white during the 1950s (includes Suez War 'Invasion Stripe' decals)
      813 NAS, in dark gray/white for other 1950s/early 60s usage (no stripes)
      814 NAS, in sea blue/white during the 1960/70s
       
      All decals from the original pak have been reused, as everyone knows how I hate to waste good decals <grin>. Like my other USN Skyraider mods, this has a working canopy (use shift/0 to open and close), and corrected light positions, including a landing light. A new SF2-style hangar screen, and a short historical essay are included.
       
      As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install.
       
      Good Hunting!

    6. F-4K Phantom II, Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm

      MDD F-4K Phantom (FG.1) Royal Navy/Royal Air Force
       
      -- For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Prefered) and/or SF2:E ONLY!!! --
       
      As stated above, you =MUST= have either a Full-4 Merged install, or at the VERY LEAST SF2:E to make use of this mod package, as it references all stock items for the aircraft and cockpit that are =ONLY= found in SF2E or Full4 Merged game installs; is uses the F-4M lods for the aircraft and cockpit, as well as the various other inis. Some, however, ARE supplied, as I made adjustments and so forth.
       
      This package represents F-4K/FG.1 Phantoms of the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, and later as serving in the RAF
       
      Skins and decals in the pak are for:
       
      767 Squadron, FAA (?Land based in UK and The Continent?)*
      892 Squadron, FAA (aboard HMS Ark Royal)*
      "Generic" RAF Camo (stock skin; uses stock decals for 19 Squadron)
      111 Squadron RAF (Barley Gray)**
       
      *Skins and decals were created by Sundowner some years ago
       
      **maybe non-historical; it's possible that 111 used FG.1s upgraded to FG.2, with addition of the RWR 'box' on fin. But the skin is too nice to let go!
       
      All weapons used are stock in-game items. Minor data ini edits allow for carrier useage, and a maunaly operated canopy. Use Shift/0 to open and close. A new artwork loading screen is also included.
      Remember: this is the early model, withOUT the ECM/RWR fairings on the tail, and no RWR of any kind!! So watch you be-hinds!!
       
      As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install.

    7. Spitfire MkI, No.19 Sqn RAF, October 1938

      Spitfire MkI, No.19 Sqn, Royal Air Force, Duxford, Autumn 1938
       
      The first operational RAF Spitfire was K9787 which arrived at Duxford airfield on 4th August 1938, followed by K9792 on 16th. 19 Squadron was tasked with getting up to 400 hours as quickly as possible onto these two airframes, in order to test the Spitfire's long-term serviceability. Other than some trouble caused by weak undercarriage legs, there was very little to report, other than a number of cases of a phenomenon called "Spitfire knuckle" - sometimes severely grazed on the inside of the fuselage while pumping the undercarriage up!
       
      These initial batches of Spitfires were finished on the uppersurfaces in the Temperate Land Scheme of Dark Earth and Dark Green, with Aluminium undersides. (It is worth noting that in the RAF, aircraft are systematically painted with Aluminium paint rather than left natural metal.) Unfortunately the SF game engine does not allow for specular layers, and so the undersides appear simply pale grey. The Type A1 roundels were soon replaced by more sombre blue-and-red B Types. Finally, the figure '19' in flight colours on the tailfin was applied only briefly, possibly only for a series of air-to-air photographs taken on 31st October 1938. Underwing serials were carried in the normal way.
       
      Serial numbers given in the menu list correspond to aircraft used by 19 Squadron during late 1938 and early 1939. Where a pilot has been identified as having flown a particular aircraft (The Royal Air Force did not attribute aircraft to particular pilots, although many did tend to have their favourites) that pilot has been listed in the menu.
       
      For use ONLY with SF2 including the Israel Expansion Pack. This will NOT work if you do not have the stock TW Spitfires installed and working.
       
      Includes 2048 and 1024 size skin sheets and new loading screen sounds.

    8. Spitfire MkI, No.54 Sqn RAF, May 1940

      Spitfire MkI, No.54 Sqn, Royal Air Force, Hornchurch, May 1940
       
      Operating from Hornchurch in Essex, No.54 was one of the Fighter Command squadrons tasked with defending the BEF and Royal Navy in Northern France, especially during Operation Dynamo, the withdrawal from Dunkirk. At this time, the squadron was led by S/L James Leathart, and included two Pilot Officers from New Zealand who were to make quite a name for themselves, namely Alan Deere and Colin Gray. Alan Deere's autobiography "Nine Lives" is well worth reading, and gives a clear idea of what it was like to be one of the Few, before, during and after the Battle.
       
      The markings are typical of the period and include the fin flash and underwing roundels which were used at the time only on those Home-based aircraft operating over the French mainland. Black-and-white undersides were replaced by Sky according to AM Signal X915 of 6th June 1940, although it would be mid-August at the earliest before significant quantities of this new shade were generally available.
       
      Serial numbers given in the menu list correspond to aircraft used by 54 Squadron during May 1940. In common with a number of fighter squadrons in 1939 and early 1940, however, 54 Sqn painted out the serial numbers on the aircraft, and the corresponding decals are therefore not included in this pack. Where a pilot has been identified as having flown a particular aircraft (The Royal Air Force did not attribute aircraft to particular pilots, although many did tend to have their favourites) that pilot has been listed in the menu.
       
      For use ONLY with SF2 including the Israel Expansion Pack. This will NOT work if you do not have the stock TW Spitfires installed and working.
       
      Includes 2048 and 1024 size skin sheets.

    9. Templates for 3W Harrer GR1

      Someone requested these, so I'm uploading them.
       
      These are HomeGrown ™ templates, based off the original 3W skins, with redrawn panel, rivet lines and some weathering and staining. I've left all my layers intact, so you can use or not use whatever you like!
       
      Standard photoshop PSD format. Mapping appears to be identical to the WoE AV-8A/Harrier GR.1 (I haven't really checked this, but it 99.999999999999999%)
      no readme, as these are templates, and those that know how to use them, don't need a read me!
       
      enjoy!

    10. Spitfire MkIa, No.610 Sqn RAF, August 1940

      Spitfire MkIa, No.610 (County of Chester) Sqn, Auxiliary Air Force, Biggin Hill, August 1940
       
      No.610 Squadron received its Spitfires during late September and early October 1939, and moved to Biggin Hill on 8th July 1940 in time for the Battle of Britain. The Squadron stayed at Biggin until the very end of August, and bore the full brunt of the German offensive. By the end of August, it was utterly played out, and moved up to Acklington in Northumberland on 31st August.
       
      Serial numbers in this pack correspond to aircraft used by 610 Squadron during September 1940, although many of these aircraft were on strength only for some days, for obvious reasons. The individual letters and serial numbers of each aircraft correspond. Equally, where a pilot has been identified as having flown a particular aircraft (The Royal Air Force did not attribute aircraft to particular pilots, although many did tend to have their favourites) that pilot has been listed in the menu.
       
      The list is eloquent. Only two of the pilots listed survived unharmed. They majority of these men were under 25 years of age at the time of their deaths, and they made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our freedom and independence today.
       
      This assumes that you have already installed the AvHistory Guns for SF2 and my 19 Squadron Spitfire MkI.

    13. Spitfire LF.MkVIIIc, SEAC

      Spitfire LF.MkVIIIc, No.607 Sqn RAF, 1944-45
       
      No.607 (County of Durham) Sqn began flying on the Spitfire MkVIII in March 1944.
       
      The serial numbers included all correspond to LF.MkVIIIc aircraft built in late 1943 to early 1944 and shipped out to India.
       
      Credits:
      Model and flight dynamics by Third Wire

      The canopy is activated by toggling "shift 0" - RAF procedures dictated that the canopy should be open and locked back during take-off and landing.
      As the MkVIII had a retractable tail-wheel, I have removed the MkIX-type fixed tail-wheel.

    14. Coast Guard Cutters

      Four different Coast Guard Cutters:
       
      1/ New National Security Cutter - Legend Class
      2/ Hamilton Class High Endurance Cutter
      3/ Cyclone Class Patrol Ship
      4/ Island Class Patrol Cutter
       
      Not really a Legend NSC, but of course a F711 Surcoef La Fayette FFG. It's the closest we have in SF so it willl have to do.
       
      I have made the Cutter helo capable with a proper flight deck, and a "catapult" from which to launch. There are no invisible arrestor wires when you land, you will have to use your own skill to land successfully.
       
      Credits:
       
      aleks for the F711 Surcoef La Fayette mod.
       
      Thanks aleks.
       
      Not really a Hamilton HEC, but of course a Spruance DD. It's the closest we have in SF so it willl have to do.

      You will need to copy over the Spruance LOD's from the Spruance mod. If you do not already have it, get it from the A-Team Skunkworks site.

    15. QF-104A

      Lockheed QF-104A Starfighter for Strike Fighters 2
       
      The QF-104A was a special modified version of the (Y)F-104A Star-fighter which could be flown remotely controlled. The control was done by F-104 pilots on the ground or inside another aircraft.
      The conversion of the (Y)F-104A to QF-104A was approved on 19 Februar 1960 by the USAF. Testing of the QF was conducted during the period of 9 Januar 1961 to 16 October 1961.
      The reason for converting the (Y)F-104A was the need for high altitude, high mach targets for the development of ground-to-air (BOMARC) and air-to-air (AIM7 - AIM9 - GAR2B - MB1 - AIM4) missiles.
      At the end of the summer in 1972 the QF-104 drone program had come to an end and the F-104D's were handed over to the Puerto Rice ANG which could use them very well. All of the personnel that were in the QF-104 program were reassigned to other duties and bases.
      In total 24 QF-104's have been used by the USAF. Twenthy of them were actually killed as targets and 1 crashed while flying a manned mission. The pilot ejected safely.
      What has happened to the other 3 aircraft is not known but it is very likely that they have been withdrawn from use.
      In total the drone-flight has accomplished 162 unmanned missions. Most of the QF mission were flown at Eglin AFB. However, some were flown at Holloman AFB (NewMexico) and a small number at Point Mugu NAS in California (for the US NAVY).
       
      The QF-104A were of course different from the normal 104’s.
      The most important modifications/changes included (in reality there are a lot more...) :
       
      1 - The QF-104A received anti-skid brakes.
      2 - A smoke-generator was applied (JP-4 pumped into the exhaust).
      3 - Remote control system to fly the aircraft unmanned.
      4 - A dayglow paintscheme was applied. It was an “eyecatcher”.
      Originally the aircraft serial numbers were painted white. This was unsatisfactory as they were not highly visible against the dayglow. For that reason they were changed to black lateron.
      5 - A special system which is able to make in flight air-starts remotely. In fact several were successfully made over the years.
      6 - Due to the high-rate of stall problems with the GE J79 3A engines the QF was repowered by the 3B version of this engine. This solved the stall-problems.
      7 - A self-destruction device was mounted on the QF for emergency reasons. This device was remotely controlled
      8 - A changed cockpit layout to support all typical QF-104 systems.
      9 - Additional gun-bay and case storage fuel tanks.
      10 - Optical (5) camera scoring system. Three camera’s were located in the nose radome and 2 could be found inside the left external fueltank.
      -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       
      Pilot Notes:
       
      The default nation for this plane is USAF "friendly plane".
      Inside the QF-104A there is a folder named "For Mescalero Proving Grounds", if you want to use this aircraft with that mod simply replace the data.ini file. Now it will be a "red" target. :'(
      -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       
      Installation:
       
      Simply copy all the files in the respective directory of your game folder.

    16. Optional desert to mountains tiles for Piecemeal's Desert3 Update v1.2 terrain

      This little modification is my tweak to several textures from "ODS" Iraq/Piecemeal's Desert3 terrains.
       
      Created with "Updated Default SF2 Terrain by Piecemeal V 1.2" in mind, this pack changes the look of desert-to-mountain transitions tiles, making them much more sloped rocks thus standing out from surrounding sands. Tile-specific heightmap files (_HM) used to achieve more detailed mesh displacement.
      Matter of one's preferences, it's one of those not necessary optional mods ;)
       
      All the transition textures are based on work by Deuces for original ODS terrain, further used in Piecemeal's Desert3 update of stock SF2 Parani/Dhimari map.

    21. Seafire MkIII, Irish Air Corps

      Seafire MkIII (Modified), No.1 Sqn, Irish Air Corps, 1947 - 1955
       
      The Irish Air Corps bought 12 Seafires in 1947; these were denavalised by removing the 'hook' and at least in most cases, locking the wing-fold joints. They were numbered from 146 to 157. There is still considerable debate among the Irish aviation historians as to the precise colour used; they were clearly painted overall with a greenish-grey shade, possibly MAP Light Slate Grey. No detailled information is available. I have simply used one of the stock TW skins, slightly modified, although it is not single colour as it should be.
       
       
      For use ONLY with SF2 including the Israel Expansion Pack. This will NOT work if you do not have the stock TW Spitfires installed and working.

    24. SF2 HAF F-4E_SRA

      SF2 HAF F-4E_SRA
       
      Short History:
       
      During Operation Desert Storm in 1991, Greece played a secondary role with its Hellenic Navy Kortenaer Frigate 'Elli'.
      As a gesture of gratitude, the Bush Administration supplied the HAF with, among other equipment, a further 28 refurbished and upgraded F-4Es, Which came from the Indiana ANG's 113th and 163rd Tactical Figher Wings.
      The ex-ANG models, knows as South Eastern Regional Amendament (SRA) among the Greek crews, were aging but extremely capable aircrafts.
      All the F-4E_SRA were passed to 338 Squadron, which expanded its air-to-ground role.
      During the HAF Peace Icarus 2000 program, all the F-4E_SRA from the 338 squadron were transferred to the 337 squadron.
      In 2004 with the defence budget cuts, a number of fighters were withdrawn - including the 26 remaining F-4E_SRA Phantoms.
      The last flight of the 337 squadron's SRA Phantom took place on May 29, 2006 when squadron commander Lt Col. Theodoros Syrmos deliverd his aircraft to Mikra Internation Airport, Thessaloniki for storage.
       
      This is for SF2 merged install.
       
      Contain the following Squadrons:
       
      337 Squadron 'Ghost' (Fantasma)
      337 Squadron HG II
      337 Squadron Hill Grey II
      337 Squadron Spartan
      338 Squadron 'Ares'
      339 Squadron 'Ajax'
      Aegean Aggressor Pegasus
      Aegean Aggressor Scorpion
      Aegean Aggressor Zeus
      Aegean Tiger

    25. F-4E _90_NZ

      This is my F-4E_90_NZ Fictional mod for all Merged SF2 games and any Standalone game that includes ThirdWire’s stock F-4E_78.
       
      Inspired by Spinner’s F-4M_89_NZ I decided to have an F-4E RNZAF mod. I had a Kiwi F-4E mod already right from the start but never uploaded it. Mr. DTM Dragon has uploaded a mod previously and many of these skins can be adapted to work with his mod if you want. However because most of the skins in this mod are new I have decided to upload and share. Over half the skins are from Sundowner and the rest by myself on ThirdWire’s templates and Sundowners templates. Decals are stock and Spinners and some by me.
       
      To install just extract and copy and paste the Aircraft Folder into the Aircraft Folder and Decals into Decals Folder.
       
      I have restricted the loadout a little, RNZAF is only small so not a large weapons arsenal. However if the RNZAF deployed overseas in a combat role we would most likely get supplies from American, Britain and even Australia. So you can tinker there if you want.
       
      I have added Mercenary skins as well. They are Generic so you can mod those skins into any Air Force you want. They are fictional and are purely for fun.
       
      Plus another Easter Egg Folder. One to go straight into F-4_78 folder and the other into the F-4D_78 stock folders, decals are all generic.
       
      Thanks to TK and ThirdWire for the great game and sim.
       
      To CombatAce for this Forum.
       
      To Sundowner and Spinners.
       
      This is a Freeware mod.
