Dassault Sambad & IAI Sa'ar (1958-1975) for WOI
 
This skin pack for Thirdwire's stock Super Mystère B2 (Sambad, from the acronym SMBD) and Sa'ar (Tempest) covers every Sambad and Sa'ar in Israeli service from 1958 to 1975. It includes several skins for each type that reflect changed paint schemes, attrition, losses, replenishments and upgrades. The serial numbers itself are as real as it gets, but due to lack of reliable and/or complete information, some service dates might be wrong.
 
The Sambad was the IAF's first supersonic fighter and also its first aircraft with an afterburning engine. On December 4th 1958, the first Israeli Super Mystères arrived at Hatzor's No. 105 Scorpion Squadron. When the J52-P-8A engine became available with the introduction of the A-4 Ayit in late 1967, IAF engineers suggested it replacing the Sambad's unreliable Atar 101G-3 engine. While not afterburning, the J52 was lighter and more powerful than the original engine, allowing for more ordnance and an extended range. Other modifications to the original airframe included an extended rear fuselage to accommodate the new engine (also anticipating and inspiring the 'barrel mod' on the Ayits) and two new hardpoints for the Shafrir 2 air-to-air missile.
The first upgraded Sambad - now called IAI Sa'ar - entered service in 1969 and conversion was complete in early 1973. Only two years later, in March 1975, the Sa'ars of No. 105 Squadron were replaced with the F-4E Kurnass. The remaining Sa'ars were sold to Honduras in 1976.

Installation:
Under Win7 or Vista unzip content into User\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2(...)\Objects

History (from wiki):
The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer aircraft developed in Czechoslovakia to meet requirements for a "C-39" (C for cvi?ný – trainer) during the 1960s to replace the L-29 Delfín. It was the first of the second-generation jet trainers, and the first turbofan-powered trainer produced, and was later updated as the L-59 Super Albatros and as the L-139 (prototype L-39 with engine Garrett TFE731). The design is still produced in an evolved state as the L-159 ALCA, while more than 2,800 L-39s still serve with over 30 air forces around the world. The Albatros – the most widely used jet trainer in the world – is versatile, seeing duty in light-attack missions as well as in basic and advanced pilot training.

Tracermania
AAA Tracers and bullets modification
 
FOR STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 Europe with Expansion pack 2
Made for and tested in SF2 all titl mergedwithes merged with Expansion Packs 1&2
 
by Stary
version 1.0
06.12.2010
 
This little modification changes the number of tracers fired by all stock AAA units and patrol boats. Number of tracers has been increased 5 times, instead of every fifth bullet being tracer round now EVERY SINGLE bullet fired by Triple-A is tracer. Also I changed the data for stock partol boats, that makes these vessels track and attack air targets too.
Second tweak is the increase of bullets fired in a burst by AAA crews, usually from 12 to 20 or 24. This seem to me does not make them more or less accurate.
As these changes may increase CPU usage I eliminated ALL tracersmoke trails of any kind for any calibre guns (...)

1680 x 1050 Mainscreen modification for SF2 (EXP2b Dec 2010)
 
Just a first & simple attempt to make the SF2 series GUI more attractive, after my failed attempts to convert various nice menu mods for SF1 series (especially Kout's) or the very nice stock WOE one, for SF2.
 
This is just a generic main screen modification (having Europe in mind). If i have time and won't loose interest in this, i may try extend the modification to specialized versions for Vietnam, Israel, Europe and go even further with the changes and work in all screens as well.
 
Till then i am including the .PSD file also, feel free to play with it, (eg change the background image to your taste)

Please note that there is now a Updated Version with Additional Aircraft & Nations added:
http://combatace.com/files/file/11553-sf2-europe-expansion-2-campaign-flyable-aircraft-tweak-11-nato/
 
This is a Tweak to make more of Thirdwires Stock Aircraft flyable in the Europe 1956 Campaign.
 
Added Aircraft (All are Flyable in Campaign if cockpit is added, instructions below)
 
USAF: A-1H, F-84F, P-51D
RAF: Canberra, Spitfire9e, Spitfire 9c, Vampire9
France: F-84F, P-51D
 
Contains the Campaign fix for the F-100A Super Sabre.
Warsaw Pact Air Force now also operates a few Squadrons of Spitfires,
used as standins for Soviet Props.
 
Just unzip into your merged Strike Fighters 2 Folder.
You need at least SF2: Vietnam and SF2: Israel Exp 1 for this mod.
Only tested on fully Merged Installation.
 
You have to make the aircraft flyable by yourself. To do this, simply copy the line:
CockpitDataFile=Hunter6_cockpit.ini
into the .ini of the Aircraft you wish to make flyable.
 
Oh, and Good Luck if you choose to fly the P-51D. You are going to need it.
 
Thanks to: Thirdwire
Its his toys, I only changed their places in the Toybox!

Hello!
 
Shahak Alternative Scope Radar Version 1.0 (November 2010) for Strike Fighter 2 Israel.
 
 
This is my first attempt in order to create an alternative Scope Radar for the Thirdwire "Shahak" fighter aircraft.
 
 
To install it, you must extract the "Cockpit" folder of the RAR archive.
 
 
If you are under Windows Vista or Windows 7, put it in: Saved Games/ThirdWire/SF2I/Objects/Aircraft/Shahak.
 
 
Last year I saw a Mirage IIIC cockpit picture. Then I decided to try to modify the Thirdwire Shahak scope radar "bmp" file.
 
 
My little "work" needs improvement. But I would like to share this first version with you!!!
 
 
Coupi.

This is simple addition of two more seasons (fall, winter) for my Formosa visual update mod. Created as simple 4-seasons tileset test for other project, I decided to upload it for everyone wanting to have "full seasons" tileset for this excellent map. Or to use it in other, more appropriate (climate wise) theatres.
 
"Formosa Strait Taiwanhaixia" map was created by Gepard. Remember there are great fixes by Wrench, The. Apply these
 
To install simply extract this package and move the files from the Formosa folder to
your choosen Strike Fighters 2 MOD folder/terrains/Formosa folder, overwrite when asked.
 
As this is just simple tiles pack, should work with Series1 too, but I don't have any installed at the moment to confirm.
 
And sorry for not releasing it in DDS format, it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks
