Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

This file contains the major gun types used by the combatant nations (UK, USA, Germany, Japan, Italy, USSR, France) in World War Two, along with effects for the specific types of tracer colour used by each nationality.

As I have had to recompile the original file, please let me know IMMEDIATELY if anything appears incorrect or absent. Thanks!

This goes under the double header since VFA-195 is currently transitioning to the F/A-18E but so far no newe on what the CAG jet may look like so after a request made this based on one of the current schemes (or last one).

Simply drop in your FA-18E folder and go fly. Can work for SF1 except for drop tank textures.

Bf109g-10/U4, I./JG 11, Germany, Early 1945.
 
By this date, JG 11 was equipped essentially with Bf109g-10 and g-14 aircraft.The yellow JG 11 Reich Defence fuselage band should not be confused with the narrower Eastern Front markings. THe yellow rudder should theoretically be accompanied by a yellow band around the nose - the final type of quick recognition markings introduced in early 1945. Needless to say, by this stage, official directives were not always scrupulously respected!
 
Despite the fact that MG151/20 gondolas were rarely if ever fitted to g-10 type 109s, this aircraft has them fitted as standard for all air defence missions.
 
For SF2 only.

Bf109g-10/U4, 2./JG 300, Borkheide, September 1944.
 
JG 300 was originally created in July 1943 as a Wilde Sau free-range night-fighter Geschwader, but owing to the high accident rate and the relative lack of success, was
transferred at the very beginning of 1944 to daylight operations.

UPDATED! Now includes modified ini files for the Dev A-Team WGr.21 mortar!
Thanks to Capun and Company!
 
For those who downloaded the original version, the necessary inis are also available separately in the Weapons section.

Modified ini files for the Dev A Team WGr21 weapons add-on.
 
You will need to download the original files here:
http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/
Under "Weapons and Vehicles"
 
This will modify the WGr21 projectiles into IRMs, but without the growl or ability to manoeuvre. Use as unguided rockets from a distance of about 800+ metres. Too close and you will find that your probability of missing actually gets higher - we have cheated a bit, in order to try and get as close as possible to the
originals, which detonated automatically between 1000 and 1500 metres after launch, according to fuzing.
 
These are anti-aircraft projectiles, and were not used against ground targets.
 
For use with the JG 300 Bf109g-10 to be found here:

Many thanks to Cesar 'Capun' Pun and the Dev A-Team for the visual models and skins, and for thinking up the initial idea!

Bf109g-10/U4, JG 53, Kirrlach, February 1945.
 
By this date, JG 53 was equipped essentially with Bf109g-10 and k-4 aircraft, and had been absorbed completely into the Reich Defence organisation. The black fuselage band was attributed on 20/02/1945 in replacement of the earlier rust-red one.

Here is my cockpit re-paint for the F-111A that comes with the SF2V Ground War Expansion Pack. I don't know the creator of the cockpit as he left the community some years ago. But I give him credit for the beautiful job on the 3D part.
 
Directions:
 
Drop into your F-111A folder and overwrite when asked.
 
Enjoy!

This is the SFP1 series cockpit (version 1.4) for the Mig-23MF of the Mirage factory which could fire beyond visual range missiles even for foreign countries. Download the Mirage Factory Mig-23 package here:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5211
 
Mig-23MF cockpit additions made by Richard "Pitts2A" Ordway, Starfighter2, lindr2. Thanks to Armour Dave and Sal for the cockpit
 
 
The Mig-23MF version saw combat in the Middle East with Syria and reportedly had some F-4 and F-16 kills. It was a much improved export version after the previous MS version.
The Warsaw pact, India, Syria, Egypt, Cuba and others used the MF version.
 
Added are features to make it more "developing worldish" including labeling tape, lots of dust and simplified features. It fired radar-guided missiles and so was a BVR threat with its AA-7 Apex missiles.
 
The Mig-23 was the most important Soviet fighter type from the mid-to-late 1970s

Directions:
 
1) Back up your Mig-23MF folder (if present).
 
2) Download the Mirage Factory basic Mig-23s at the combatace address listed above starting with http://www.combatace.com/indexpht etc, etc above.
 
3) Just download the whole filefolder Mig-23MF intact into your aircraft folder as one folder.
 
4) When asked to overwrite say yes.
 
-Finished!
 
5) OPTIONAL: Add Nele's accurate Mig-23MF flight model (data.ini) which is in the NeilFlightModel folder called MiG-23MF_data.ini.
 
Just pop it in and overwrite when asked...back it
 
up as always.
V1.3- I added knobs under the warning panels, added Neles avionics.ini and gave the option for Nele's accurate Mig-23MF flight model.
 
MARCH 2011- Version 1.4. I revised and added some files to hopefully fix some problems some gamers were reporting.

Another collection of various hangars/walls etc aimed mainly at desert type terrain although they can be used in any you like.

Modern RAF Smart Bombs.
 
Includes:
 
-Enhanced Paveway II
 
-Enhanced Paveway III
 
-Paveway IV
 
In order to simulate the fact that these weapons can be either GPS or laser guided depending on what the aircrew decide before dropping them I have included two of each type. One is GPS guided and the other is laser guided. On my RAF aircraft (GR4, GR7, GR9 and Typhoon) that use these bombs I have used the loadout.ini file to load a mix of GPS and laser guided versions of the same bomb to imitate that flexability in the air.
Credit goes to 331KillerBee for his Ordnance Shop II where these weapons have been modified from.
 
Drop the files into your weapons folder to install, easy as that.

This is a "What If" nation missile system based off of the real SA-18 Grouse (or what I could find though internets sources).
 
It is set for the "Taliban" nation for my Afghanistan install but can be adapted of course for any map or nation:

SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat
SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.str
StartDate=1994
 
It uses Pasko's "SAM Gunner" since I have no modeling skills and is setup for SF2. It can be of course adapted for SF1 but that requires a bit of work that can be found in the SF2 Knowledge Base and is a drag and drop as all files and folders are already organized.
 
Afghanistan rules of thumb:
 
Kandahar-Shindand-Herat-Qala I Naw "ring" stay above 24,000ft MSL + for traveling. When you break that (usually 23,000 ft) you may get shot at. Other areas roughly 22,000 ft MSL + is a good altitude to stay above but again use flares conservatively. It's not very accurate but if enough are fired you will get shot down. I've seen earlier versions of this shred SEAD flights.
 
This is strictly for What If scenarios or installs rather than real world setups as so far there is no heavy use of SAMs in-country.

After finding a good resource I was able to skin this aircraft
 
Able to be used in SF1 as well as the drop tank texture is not required. Simply drop in the FA-18E folder and go fly.
