Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

"The F-16 has benefited from a long-running program of improvements to minimize its RCS, under the name Have Glass. With several reports suggesting that a Have Glass V F-16 will, on average, have a 1.2m² radar cross section, compared with about 5m² for an ‘untreated’ F-16, straight off the line."

            About The Mirage Factory Rebuilt
Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in
use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009.
But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original
modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were
just hopeful wishes over a decade ago.
    The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced
with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is jsut standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today
and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him.    
on behalf of The Mirage Factory (original and rebuilt) I thank you for downloading this mod, and hope you enjoy it.

Mirage F1EQ5_Iriaf
This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.
Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force seized 24 F1BQs and F1EQs flown over from Iraq, during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. As of December 2021, 12 Mirage F1EQs and 5 Mirage F1BQs were in service.
This mod is not 100% accurate, Iran used all the EQ versions but for more simplicity we decided to use only one version, the EQ-5, to cover all the IRIAF aircrafts.
There is not a lot of informations about the Iranian Mirage, so we did our best to make a realistic aircraft.
Based on Iraqi F1EQ-5 v4.0.1 mod with the following changes:
all the original Iraqi weapons and pods have been disabled as Iran did not get any of those P7 and sidewinder compatibility added (instead of R550) F5 tanks (underwings stations only) instead of original F1 RP35 US bombs and rockets. Another data.ini version is provided for russians bombs and rockets use instead of US. Covered unit :
102sd TFS
This addon is and will in all cases remain freeware.
Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms.
Enjoy
The Mirage F.1 Team

SF2 Deuces Euro Desert Terrain Pack        8/24/24
== For SF2, any and all, but Full 5 Reccommended ==
*** Your mod folder(s) =MUST= have, or access to, the stock Desert terrain, as many items are referenced from that stock terrain cat. ***
Once upon a time, in the early 2000s, one of our first terraformers, Deuces, released this "Euro-Desert". Basicly, retiled to a more lush green environment. What I've done here is fully update it for use in the SF2 Environment by adding or changing all needed statements in the data ini, and "fixing" all water bearing tgas with new alpha channels. Other than adding the 2 stock ships in port and some vehicles that show up parked in various places, NO other (outside or non-stock) items have been added! Consider this as close to the original stock desert terrain as possible! With some window dressing. As always (meaning: target area upgrades. Nothing TOO major). There are NO Easter Eggs. Sorry! (not sorry).
When 'in game', on the terrain selection drop down, you'll see
Deuce's Green Desert
Select it, and play normally.
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE READ THEM!!! The original readme is inside the terrain's folder, and is included for historical purposes.  
Good Hunting and Happy Landings!

ALL work by ME ( Sundowner ) is now no longer covered by the CombatAce Freeware Licensing agreement.
What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it. So please no copying of my skins for any use other than your own.
What we have here is an almost completely new RF-4B model, there are 3 separate versions to choose  from all with small differences and skins.
They are all from VMCJ-1 which was the only RF-4B unit that was stationed in Vietnam for almost the full duration of the war.
Please read the readme as I'm struggling with using a keyboard at the moment.....

            About The Mirage Factory Rebuilt
Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in
use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009.
But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original
modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were
just hopeful wishes over a decade ago.
    The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced
with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is jsut standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today
and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him.    
on behalf of The Mirage Factory (original and rebuilt) I thank you for downloading this mod, and hope you enjoy it.

SF2 Green "Not Desert" Terrain Pack        8/23/24
== For SF2, any and all, but Full 5 Recommended ==
*** Your mod folder(s) =MUST= have, or access to, the stock Desert terrain, as many items are referenced from that stock terrain cat. ***
Once upon a time, in the early 2000s, one of our first terraformers, Deuces, released a "Euro-Desert". Basiclly, retiled to a more lush green environment. This is my contribution in that vein. This terrain is designed to be FUN, and perhaps more than a little silly. As can be expected, there are Easter Eggs (tm) EVERYWHERE.
This is a revamp of the stock 3rd Wire "Desert" terrain. It has gone through a somewhat extensively large rebuild (tile-wise), being retextured to a more cooler climate (see Notes) Large amounts of "eye candy" have been added to the airports, cities and other military targets. Ports have been upgraded with buildings, docked ships and other maritime goodies. The movement ini has also been modified, with additional and/or re-plotted routes. Be advised, that the original Desert campaign(s) MIGHT work, as I kept "things" as close as possible to the original, with the exception of FINALLY naming the tiled city regions in the southwest of the map that had never been touched since the 2003 initial release of SFP:1. However, I cannot gar-un-tee any of the existing stock or user made campaigns will work on this modded terrain; Be Advised!
I've supplied a great number of Ground Objects (many of which you may already have), but you'll want to double check them after unzipping, to make sure you have everything before installing. Meaning: not everything has been supplied. Ground defenses (AAA & SAMs) use the generic tags (SAMLauncher, SAMRadar, etc), so there should be no problems with the Game Engine (tm) using what's in your Mods Folders. With Ground Objects in mind, this terrain has the usual minimum year spread from 1945 through (at least!!!!) 2050. There are NO mission restrictions, excepting Naval Action (no CVs!!).
When 'in game', on the terrain selection drop down, you'll see
NotDesert (Green)
Select it, and play normally.
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE READ THEM!!! It should be noted, you might (ok, WILL) experince longer than normal loading times on this terrain. It's because of all stuff I found I needed to include when (re)building it.  
Also, PLEASE read the "Notes" section for more data on the astronomical, geophysical and climatic conditions of this "region".
Good Hunting!

This is a missile launch simulator which includes a air launched sim and ballistic trajectories 

Credit goes to the original authors of this Andrew P. Pavacic1 and Mundelein, IL, 60060

A paper has been attached to the zip file if you wanna read more

Keep in mind values in game can be different since we dont know the source code and what equations and calculations the game works with

You can also import and export missile parameters it would be nice if we could all maybe share notes and build a joint data base of real missile values

Thanks! Have fun!

YOU MUST HAVE THE F-51D/K from FastCargo !
-Textures in 4K with Normal map and specular map
- 3 Fighters Squadron WW2 ETO with invasion strips : 487thFS (x11 nose arts), 343rdFS (x5 nose arts), 375thFS (one nose art! if you know of any websites where I could find nose art for the 375thFS, I'd be interested! ;)  )
- Simply extract the contents of the file into the mod folder

F-86D 月光 -  Gekko of Japan Air Self-Defense Force
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) 
Install:
Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination.
A fake pilot is required to run this mod.
This is a new model of F-86D. 
In the game, you will find it under a prefix .JASDF. * 
* Japan Air Self-Defense Force

I fixed data files a little - collision points and hitboxes..as the previous ones were quite weird. However, I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea or coffee. 
All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed.
Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in the JASDF in a particular year. More or less
 
Credits.
The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench.
Yours truly  -  model rework, mambo jumbo like skins, decals, research...
Weapons Mk4 Might Mouse and AIM-9 by Ravenclaw. 
TACAN is made as a "weapon" that will load automatically after a certain year. 
 
Have fun.
Report bugs. *
Expect the unexpected.
Live long and prosper.

THIS MODEL IS ONLY TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE AND IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL IT BE USED, EVEN IN PART OF ANYTHING THAT IS PAYWARE.
UNDER THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT
 
* report BIG bugs...If I misspelled something or forgot to add a sound file...for dog's sake try to fix it.  

ALL work by ME ( Sundowner ) is now no longer covered by the CombatAce Freeware Licensing agreement.
What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it. So please no copying of my skins for any use other than your own.
 
These aircraft are aimed at the folks that actually like to fly missions, So going by that line of action all markings and serial numbers are painted on, this has the added bonus of gaining me a couple of extra fps and also means that I can export the lod WITHOUT the decals option, this definitely gains some more precious fps.
This model is a combination of the old (Crab_02 RF-8G) and TMF RF-8A max files which I was working on from the very outset. 
The RF-8A never got released because of Oli's sudden death.
I've combined what I think are the best parts of both to come up with the models here, they may not be perfect or "historically correct" in every way as they are a constant wip.
Please read the readme, you never know you might learn something.......
Sundowner.
