VFA-147, also known as the "Argonauts," is a United States Navy strike fighter squadron based at Naval Air Station Lemoore, California (USA). VFA-147 was established on 1 February 1967 and flies the F-35C Lightning II, becoming the first non-training F-35 squadron in the U.S. Navy.

This mod inclued basic skin and tail number
F-35 mod by FastCargo
 
Installation:
1.Make sure you already have a F-35C;
2.Coby Objects Folder into your SF2 game main folder;
 

Recent post by USAFMTL pointed to the sound files listed in the _data.ini for the (Mirage Factory) F/A-18A as a possible source of CTDs in WoE.
 
I'd been getting the dreaded black screen and CTD when hitting ESC to exit an F-18 mission. It didn't happen every time, but enough...
 
Rather than just point the _data.ini to other sound files, I opened them in a sound editor and reformated them to 16bit/11kHz, matching the default sound files in the game.
 
(Other add-on sound files are in other formats, and don't seem to cause a problem, but none of them match up with the F-18 sound file formats.)
 
Tested these sound files... haven't had a CTD yet. Can't guarantee it's "the answer", but here are for testing.
 
Just unzip and put them in \Sounds folder, replacing the files that are already there.

USN/USMC low visibility tactical color schemes Paintshop - GB 3-7-2012
 
All USN/USMC low visibility tactical color schemes are now put in a single archive for sharing at combatace.
All due credit to the original model and skin creators:
Third Wire (A-4M,A-7E,F-4J,F-14A_77)
Mirage Factory + BPAo + Flying Toaster (F-14A+B,F-4S,FA-18A)
Mostly I just made masks and converted colors which took enough time as it was already.
 
Work In Progress Release:
Beware that in the past the max resolution I worked with was 512x512 per skin, and lower res decals.
Beware that I was sometimes to lazy to make the correct seperation from light grey to medium grey.
Leaving the seperation where the old Gull grey used to fade to white.
 
Photoshop 60 Conversion.atn contains the following automated actions for color conversion:
-F-14 grey Med (convert to Medium grey, from gull grey as used by third wire)
-F-14 to grey light (convert to Medium grey first)
-F-14 to grey dark (convert to Medium grey first)
 
US Navy/Marine Low visiblity colors:
Dark: FS 35237 used as anti glare, or topside F-4S
Medium: FS 36320 (RGB 157,164,176) top A-4,A-6,A-7,F-14,F/A-18, side F-4S
Light: FS 36375 (RGB 171,176,184) bottom A-4,A-6,A-7,F-14,F/A-18,F-4S
The Medium and Light RGB values were obtained by taking average color values from photographs on the net.

You fly as LT Henry A. Bartholomay so make sure your nose number is 110.
 
LT Patrick E. Arwood nose number was 105.
 
Beware of the SAM's, hell the missions isnt easy at all.
 
You wil be flying MIGCAP for A-7's/ A-6's and other F-4's.
 
If you like this mission we will do more.

The Farragut class was the second destroyer class of the United States Navy to be named for Admiral David Glasgow Farragut.
The class is sometimes referred to as the Coontz class, since Coontz was first to be designed and built as a guided missile ship,
whereas the previous three ships were designed as all-gun units and converted later.
Ten Farragut-class ships were ordered between 1955 and 1957.
Each ship displaced 5,800 tons under full load, with a length of 512 feet (156 m), a 52-foot (16 m) beam and a top speed of 33 knots (61 km/h).
Originally commissioned as guided missile frigates (DLG), they were redesignated as guided missile destroyers (DDG) under the fleet realignment in 1975.
They were also the only redesignated ships to be renumbered as well under the realignment, with the first unit changing from DLG-6 to DDG-37 and
all subsequent vessels being renumbered upwards in order.
 
All ships of the class were decommissioned between 1989 and 1994 and subsequently scrapped.

The Fletcher class was a class of destroyers built by the United States during World War II.
The class was designed in 1939, as a result of dissatisfaction with the earlier destroyer leader types of the Porter and Somers classes.
Some went on to serve during the Korean War and into the Vietnam War.
The United States Navy commissioned 175 Fletcher-class destroyers between 1942 and 1944.
After World War II ended, 11 were sold to countries that they had been built to fight against:
Italy, Germany, and Japan, as well as other countries, where they had even longer, distinguished careers.
WHAT's in:
- 15 working destroyer classes SF-2 ready for all around the world scenarios !!!
- numbers/names decalset for Fletcher

USS Nimitz

Reworked 3D Model and INI. All guns functionabel, landing aircrafts no longer crash into into the island at landing.

The UTVA 75 is a light utility aircraft produced by the Yugoslav aircraft manufacturer UTVA. 
It was first introduced in the late 1970s and has since been used primarily for training, reconnaissance, and light transport roles. 
Known for its reliability and versatility, the UTVA 75 has been adopted by several military and civilian operators around the world.
This Project was carried out with  Anunk47 assistance.🦅
Enjoy, I wish you good hunting.
 
 

Hello everyone.
 
This is the UUM-7 micro missile pod from the Macross series used by the Vf-1.
I made 3 versions : Air to Air (IR and AR guided); Air to Ground (TV guided).
This is my first build for a game, and I release it as a beta. I'm open for sugestions how to improve this.
The air to air versions can be used only by pilot controled aircraft as the AI interprets the pod as an AG weapon and doesn't use it in AA engagements.
Install and use instructions are in the readme file.

UUM7 Micro Missile Launcher Beta 1 (from Macross series) for Strike Fighters 2
HMM01 Micro Missile
 
Hello everybody !!!
 
This is for the folks who love Macross and miss a swarm of guided missiles swirling through the air.
Unfortunately the game interprets a missile pod as an air to ground weapon, so the AI doesn't use it in air to air engagements.
You can still use it and it's devastating in close dogfights but only in pilot controled aircraft.
There are 3 versions of the launcer and missiles. An IR and AR for air engagments and an IIR guided for air to ground.
The UUM7 pod holds 15 HMM01 missiles
IRM range - 8km
ARM range - 10km
IIR range - 10km
 
How it works : Select the UUM7 pod with your air to ground weapons key. Then switch to caged or air to air mode with your Hud mode setings key.
For the radar version you have to have the radar switched on and have a valid lock.
For the IR version, you can launch the missiles even if you don't have a lockon tone.BE AWARE that it is a fratricide missile due to the high off-borsight, it will lock on the nearest planes. Very effective on large formations of planes.
 
All three versions are fire and forget missiles.
 
The missiles are available from the year 1999 upwards.
Launchers can be loaded on USAF/USN type pilons that have rocket pod capability.
 
Have fun :)
 
Launcher, missiles and textures were made by me.
 
What you will need :
 
Copy of SF2/WOE2/WOV2/WOI2 patched to the latest standard
Thirdwire Weapons Editor for SF2 if you want to tweak the weapons - http://www.thirdwire...oads_tools.htm?
 
Install Instructions:
 
1. Read this entire readme :)
 
2. Drop the contents of the archive into your main MODS folder. Allow overwrites.
 
3. Start the game and blow up some stuff
 
Tested in SF2 and WOE2 only

Okay this is not your ordinary plane obviously and doesnt really
belong in a permanent std install.
At this stage it can ONLY be flown when starting in the air, - If someone could fix that please do so and reupload.
Arm your warhead and detonate on/near impact.
obviously it is a kamikaze type weapon.
 
Tested on WoV only.Should work on all WO* SF1 series.
 
I have included a weps package with this so you can equip your he-111
with one- you will just have to workout the weapons on board placement position.
 
 
 
I have borrowed dozens of bits and pieces of others aircraft and do hope
I havent broken any rules or offended in doing so.Im trying to share too.
 
THIS IS A BETA-AI is pretty much useless with this aircraft-it is defenceless
but still fun to shoot down.
 
 
 
If anybody wants to improve on this and reupload - be my guest-Im sure
Cocas wont mind.

V-1 JET BIKE.
This is free. Have fun~*
