Hi!
The idea of creating a T.A.R.G.E.T profile for the T.16000M + TWCS Throttle combination to use with the 
Strike Fighters 2 series was born from the following desires:
    - Since I fly with the 'hard' FM setting, I wanted to have a working trimming system that wasn't the half-working
      workaround that can be done by editing the controller settings in Default.INI.
    - I also wanted to be able to play with the joystick curves to find the sweet spot for controllability and
      responsiveness. (This is still work in progress, curves are still linear for the time being.)
    - I wanted to be able to use shifted buttons, so I don't have to rely on the awkwardly placed buttons on the base
      of the T.16000M.
    - I wanted specific actions to only activate on long button presses, so I couldn't activate them accidentally.
Because of the need for a trim system outside the simulator itself, instead of a normal T.A.R.G.E.T configuration 
(created by using the GUI), I've decided on writing a T.A.R.G.E.T script from scratch. This decision also opened the 
gates before adding more features and further customization in the future.
This is the 1.0 version of my script, meaning that it's the first complete, fully working release. It's got all the
basic features I wanted to implement, along with the working trim system, and two countermeasures (chaff/flare) 
programs. The axis curves are still linear for now, since I didn't yet have the time to tinker with and test them.
All the needed information is in the README.txt file. I hope some of you will have a use for this and will enjoy it!
Cheers!

 J7 pg J7 B and j7pg Reds Chinese display team planes....some of the loadouts need checking as I was half way through doing them based on one.....B model has integral tanks in the aircraft lod.....the Pg and Reds has ordinary tanks (weapons folders supplied.)

This package represents the CF-100 MK-4A version as used by the RCAF in Canada. The squadrons/skins were based in Canada so this pack isn't a good fit for a typical install and should only be used in a North American focused install.
The date range is a bit of a guess but considering the start up dates for some of the squadrons, the weapon trials that were required, as well as aircraft deliveries to operational training units, I think the introduction to front line service was around June, 1954.The higher thrust MK4B was introduced around March,1955, and I'm assuming any front line MK4A's would have been upgraded with the more powerful Orenda 11 engines during heavy maintenance checks so the MK4A gets phased out one year after the introduction of the MK-4B. With the short date range for the MK4A not all the CF-100 Squadrons are represented with this package but they will be when the MK-4B and MK-5 packages are released.
I'm using the NORAD suffix to avoid any confusion with the European versions although the CF-100 MK4 service introduction pre-dates NORAD by about 3 years.
The skin jpeg's are quite large and I've noticed some frame rate issues when flying over Hi Res terrains but no issues over the stock terrains. The model does use distance lods.

This skin represents one of the first squadrons to fly the Super Hornet on a cruise, VFA-115. This is prior to the Operation Enduring Freedom deployment that characterized more stylish markings on the airframe, but this is a good representation of the line jets that the squadron had. To install simply extract to the download folder of your choice, and copy and paste the folders as needed.

This is a simple VFA-106 skin, drop in your FA-18F_BlkII folder and go fly, can be found under VFA-106 Gladiators
