BELL AH-1P Upgraded COBRA Ver 1.0 for SF2
 
June 2016.
 
This is a third party add on of the AH-1P upgraded Cobra using models and cockpits created by me.
The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
I have just modified it a bit.
 
It is designed for and works only in the SF2 series.
 
WeaponPACK for this model is also included.

This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
 
Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
 
AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
 
ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
 
LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.

ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
 
ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
 
ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
 
ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
 
 
 
In 1995-96 Turkish army decided to upgrade old P model. It was sent to Israel for upgrades. And it was brought to late Israeli F model standard.. But still in official documents and info plates on helicopters it is P model. Aircrafts received new electronics, HUD and all israeli F model upgrades.
All serial numbers are proper for Turkish P model and historicaly correct.
 
For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector - and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
 
There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
 
NVG.
Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
 
 
 
Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P/E model.
Including XM158 and M200/M260/M261 launchers and for smoe late models M260 and M261 with Mk66 motor rockets.
TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D
There is additional optional Suppressed Exhaust loaded via weaponstation.
Also here there is new M197 automatic cannon loaded via weaponstation.
 
One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
 
Pilots:
I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
 
 
 
Enjoy.
Report Bugs.
Edit your way.

SF2 F-22A USAF Raptors Redux 2016 - More Skins and Squadrons
by Viper63a
 
More F-22 skins and squadrons for the "SF2 F-22A USAF Raptors Redux 2016 Version 2.5" package. Blaze got me thinking about some of the old Raptors from the golden days of flight sim, so I brought some of those "What if" Raptors to SF2 levels!
 
You will need the original main pack for these skins to work. You can get that with the following link...
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/15909-sf2-f-22a-usaf-raptors-redux-v3/
 
Included in this package are the 14th SEA, 22nd Desert, 80th SEA, 433rd Various/Black, 493rd Desert and etc... All squadrons have their complete compliment of decals for their "What If" scenarios. These are considered to be "Show Birds" or Mercenary jets deployed into the USAF mix of some future conflict. There are some other Raptors from Nellis and one special Raptor for Paris.
 
As always, I recommend that you back up your mod folder before you install any new mod...just in case.
 
* To install, simply unzip and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite (if needed).
 
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
 
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2...
 
That's it, Enjoy!

During his service with the air force flew more than 14,000 hours over 12 years. The FACH at the time acquired 15 Mirage 5BA MIRSIP (called M-5MA Elkan by FACH), 5 Mirage 5BD MIRSIP (M-5BD Elkan) and 1 and 5 BD Mirage 5 Mirage 5BR reconnaissance without modifying the standard MIRSIP. Aircraft registrations received 701 to 725. At his low eight aircraft were operational, nine out of service and two rugged.

Mirage 5BD
 
The Dassault Mirage III is a family of single-seat, single-engine, fighter aircraft produced by Dassault Aviation for the French Air Force and widely exported. Prominent operators included Australia, Argentina, South Africa and Israel, as well as a number of nonaligned nations. Though an older design, the second generation fighter is still a fairly maneuverable aircraft and an effective opponent in close range dogfighting. In French service it was armed with air-to-ground ordnance or R.550 Magic air-to-air missiles.
 
The versatility of the design enabled production of trainer, reconnaissance and ground-attack versions as well as the Dassault Mirage 5, Dassault Mirage IIIV and Atlas Cheetah variants. A Mirage III was the first European combat aircraft to exceed a speed of Mach 2 in horizontal flight.
 
Requirements: DLC Mirage5BA.

Fix for the YF-4J center line fuel tank. just cut and paste,let it overwrite.the ecm works now too!

Mirage IIIB/IIIBE PACK
 
Mirage IIIB
 
The Armée de l'Air also ordered a two-seat Mirage IIIB operational trainer, which first flew in October 1959. The fuselage was stretched about a meter (3 ft 3.5 in) and both cannons were removed to accommodate the second seat. The IIIB had no radar, and provision for the SEPR rocket was deleted, although it could carry external stores. The AdA ordered 63 Mirage IIIBs (including the prototype), including five Mirage IIIB-1 trials aircraft, ten Mirage IIIB-2(RV) inflight refueling trainers with dummy nose probes, used for training Mirage IVA bomber pilots, and 20 Mirage IIIBEs, with the engine and some other features of the multi-role Mirage IIIE. One Mirage IIIB was fitted with a fly-by-wire flight control system in the mid-1970s and redesignated 'Mirage IIIB-SV (Stabilité Variable); this aircraft was used as a testbed for the system in the later Mirage 2000.

MY FIrst aircraft (repaired)
add a few copyrighted Lods and fly
I think the tail decal is a little to small,but I did not want to brake so I let it as is.
and a lot of trouble getting gray fuel tank to show?

This is my version of airfield approach lights for SF1 series. I gathered already existing airfield approach lights from http://combatace.com/files/file/1866-runway-approach-lights/ uploaded by HrntFixr and from http://combatace.com/files/file/1866-false/uploaded by the same Submitter (no modifications were made with his work, just changing the time of lights on and off), and mixed them with German airbases, Soviet airbases, Desert airfields and VietnamSEA airfields. I made small edits with time the lights are on and off and now a compromise was found between the time the lights are switched on and off: now the lights are switched on after 4.00 PM and off after 8.00 AM, that was done for having the lights always on in the inclement weather, the lights are on 24 hours in the inclement weather so now it is not difficult to find the airfield and land in the inclement weather. The images show the airfield approach lights at their finest! I specially uploaded many screenshots with various aircrafts to show how these lights transform and make more realistic the overall picture of this fantastic game!
 
These are complete airfields inis - no need to change anything inside the same, just copy and paste into your terrains. Backup your airfield inis before you drop these ones if you do not like them and do not want to use anymore. Hope you will like it!
 
This is my first work I share with gamers of this fantastic game! J
 
Backup your airfield inis in your terrains before installation. Just drop these inis into your terrains. Be careful that each terrain has own specific airfield inis: German and Soviet airbases for GermanCE, Black Sea, Kamchatka terrains etc., Desert airfields for IsraelME, Libya terrains etc., VietnamSEA airfield for DRV. Probably it will be compatible with SF2 series terrains as well.
Please try yourselves.

This is THE Hawker Hunter F.6
 
A labour of love, made about 3 times and lasting several years.
In fact new outstanding high res textures made by Sundowner,
took me with this pack almost ready to upload.
So I slowly adapted and improved my RAF skins.
Then as this new dressing changed the bump maps I had to
adapt stock skins too.
But when the job was almost done I decided to improve and update
foreign Hunters to match the new RAF level.
So at last here we are Gents!
 
WHAT'S IN:
 
- basically a whole NEW plane
 
- 4 stock RAF skins improved and upgraded
- 34 new RAF skins
- 6 BAF skins (stock, updated and new)
- 5 KLU skins (stock, updated and new)
- 4 RJAF skins (stock, updated and new)
- 4 IfAF skins (stock, updated and new)
- 1 FAL upgraded skin
- 3 Acro Teams upgraded skins
 
- new decalsets
 
- pilot
- sounds

OPERATIONS:

- Canopy open Key=10 autoclosing at take off

TO INSTALL:
 
- open zip files and extract into your mod folder (2,16 GB)

CREDITS:
 
- TW/TK for this plane
- Sundowner for High Res Temps (Hurraj!)
- Spillone104 for Sounds

I know everyone here has been waiting for a Border War terrain and have been salivating over the few screen shots released over the years... The wait is over!
 
This terrain is a Massive terrain covering most of South West Afrika with the Caprivi Strip, as well as Almost all of Angola as well as much of Botswana, some of Zambia and a small portion of the Congo. It is meant to cover the entirety of the Border War Conflict between FAPLA, SWAPO and the SADF, UNITA and SWADF. The Terrain covers many types of environments from the Skeleton Coast to the wetlands to the great plains and Bush of Ovomboland. This is meant to be a truly African terrain to fly the assortment of South African Air Force birds available here at CA.
 
This terrain was truly a team effort that started a few years ago and has passed through many hands along the way. The terrain was originally started by Centurion 1 and Coupi back in the 2013ish time frame and has been held and slowly worked on by a dedicated team here at CA comprised of but not limited to...
 
Stratos, Ludo.m54, Jeanba, Pualopanz, Coupi, recently me Spudknocker and even more recently tiospilotos...
 
I have brought together all of the pieces left behind by Centurion 1 and others and brought the terrain up to a playable and very fun level to share here at CA.
 
This really is a BETA release to show everyone what we have been working on! If you have any suggestions or want to help out with this project feel free to PM me, Coupi or Jeanba!
 
I could not have done so without Mue's AMAZING target area editor, Gerwin's FANTASTIC TFD tool and last but not least Wrench's incredible wealth of strike fighters knowledge.
 
Also included here with the terrain are several SAM's modified slightly from the original SF2 SAMs package for use by Angola as well as a stand in Impala MkII and SAAF Alouette III helicopter.
 
More SAAF and FAPLA related skins and aircraft will be released shortly!
 
Thanks for everyone's support here at CA and everyone's patience in waiting for this terrain.

participation in the Malvinas war with many victories,

Iraqi Air Force No.9 Squadron MiG-21PFM
 
Texture for Strike Fighters 2 Israel
 

IrAF No.9 Squadron was the first unit to be deployed in Syria at the October 1973 War(Ramadan War).
On Oct 6, 1973 at 16.00 the Squadron was put in alert and ordered to transfer from H-3/al-Wallid to Syria.
The transfer was complete on Oct 7, 1973 by 16.40 hours with 10 MiG-21PFMs, pilots and ground personnel at
Dmeyr and Tsaykal ABs. CO was Maj Namik Saadallah.
The MiG-21PFMs arrived in Syria uncamouflaged and were painted with standard SyAAF colours during the night from 7 to 8 October 1973.
IrAF MiG-21PFMs(serie numbers 702 to 705, 710 to 737)were from 1968 wired to use GP-9 gunpod. By the October 1973 War the missiles remained the standard R-3S.
The first batch of the much improved R-13M1(Atoll AA-2D)arrived in Iraq in 1974.

F-4T Phantom II Air Superiority Fighter 1.0
 
 
 
The F-4T was a late 1970s proposal by McDonnell for a stripped F-4E optimized for the air superiority role. All air-to-ground capability was to be eliminated and associated equipment removed. The armament consisting solely of the built-in M61A1 cannon, the four belly-mounted AIM-7 Sparrow missiles, and the four wing-mounted AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles, or an alternative warload of six AIM-7. A digital computer was to have handled the weapons system.
By the late 1970s, the Phantom was clearly old technology, and no customers ever expressed any interest in the F-4T. The project was abandoned before anything could be built. It was never clear but it was suspected that the proposal had been aimed at a particular potential export customer.
 

BUT what if the F-4T had entered production, either in foreign service, or to supplement the F-15A, or even as a potential alternative to the F-16A ADF?
 

And so I give you the F-4T Phantom II Air Superiority Fighter:
 
- Base aircraft is the 'F-4E_79 TISEO & ARN-101' from Ravenclaw and co’s awesome F-4E USAF pack.
- Deleted all air to ground weapons capability.
- Each inner wing weapon station can carry either 2x AIM-9 or 1x AIM-7 or an ECM pod.
- Empty weight, empty inertia and stall speed lowered to that of the stripped out Third Wire F-4F. This makes it probably the most maneuverable and best dogfighting F-4 Phantom models, other than the IAF Super Kurnass 2000 prototype.
- Retained AN/ARN-101 antenna for long range navigation.
- Retained TISEO for target identification.
- Higher 'G' HPC center drop tank.
- Cleaned up the ‘noises’ and shadows on the radar display to better represent the digital filtering of the Digital Scan Converter Group (DSCG) radar display later model F-4E were equipped with.
- Added Pulse Doppler look-down function to the AN/APG-120 radar, as later model F-4E Phantom’s upgraded with the AN/AWG-10A digital fire control computer had this feature.
- Changed the gunsight reticle to the green and red colored AN/ASG-26A which was also used on the F-4G Wild Weasel.
- Ghost Grey Air Superiority camouflage scheme.
- Changed the fiscal year component of the serial numbers to the late 70's: 77, 78 or 79.
 
 
 
Included in this mod are:
 
- F-4T Phantom II
- 9 different USAF, ANG and AFRES skins.
- 7 different USAF, ANG and AFRES squadrons.
- High resolution Ghost Grey camo F-4E PSD templates
- F-4T hanger & loading screens
 
 
 
To Install simply un pack and drop into your mods folder.
 
 
 
Notes:

Twenty reconditioned F.22's were sold to Egypt in 1950 and 10 to Syria.
 
This white skin is a remake of previous Wrench's one. Decals are old ones.
 
I made this only because I liked so much the original I can't wait to use the new model in DLC 29.

_________________________________________



Install instructions (please follow these carefully):
First and foremost, be clear on what module is actually installed on your PC, and what is not. To repeat install requirements:

Requirements:
SF2 Israel, SF2 Vietnam, SF2 Europe, July 2012 patch level or above, 6GB of HDD space.

Recommended but not necessary:
SF2 Expansion Pack 1, SF2 Expansion Pack 2, SF2 North Atlantic. (See install instructions step 4.)

Make sure the minimum install requirements are met, i.e. SF2I, SF2V and SF2E, otherwise problems will occur, from the minor missing aircraft and objects, to the severe game hangs / CTDs. Further if you do not have SF2Exp1, SF2Exp2 or SF2NA, extra install step 4 is needed!

1. Set up the Mod folder.

a. Go to the SF2 root directory, make a copy of an .exe of choice (i.e. StrikeFighters2 Vietnam.exe), and rename it to StrikeFighters2 Korea.exe. Run it once, set game options. When setting graphics, recommend turning off shadows (Shadows: Low). Exit the game.
b. Go to the generated mod folder (C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Korea\), delete the objects folder.

2. Set up the Korea Terrain.

a. Download Wrench’s KoreaV3 terrain here:
http://combatace.com/files/file/13415-sf2-korea-terrain-v3/
b. Go to the mod folder (C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Korea\), create a new folder named Terrains.
c. Extract the downloaded KoreaV3.7z, cut the newly extracted Korea3 folder, paste it into the Terrains folder created above.
Note, after this step, the various terrain files and textures etc. should reside in this path: C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Korea\Terrains\Korea3\

3. Set up the mod.

a. Download the 3 .7z files for this pack, extract them and put the contents of the first two .7z files together (StrikeFighters2_Korea_1_of_3.7z and StrikeFighters2_Korea_2_of_3.7z).
b. Cut the StrikeFighters2 Korea folder, and overwrite it over the mod folder (paste it into C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\)
Note, after this step, the mod folder should be populated with the following:
Campaigns, Controls, Effects, Flight, Menu, Missions, Objects, PilotData, Screenshots, Sounds, Terrains, as well as Options.ini and Version.ini.

4. Step for not having the recommended game installs. (If all three of the recommended games: SF2 Exp1, Exp2 and North Atlantic, are already installed, feel free to skip this step.)

Go to the extracted contents of the third .7z file (StrikeFighters2_Korea_3_of_3.7z), and enter the folder named "No_NA_EXP1_EXP2".

a. If you do not have SF2 North Atlantic, copy the contents of the folder "No NA" into your mod folder (C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Korea\).
b. If you do not have SF2 Expansion Pack 1, copy the contents of the folder "No EXP1" into your mod folder.
c. If you do not have SF2 Expansion Pack 2, copy the contents of the folder "No EXP2" into your mod folder.

5. Mod specific .ini configs

a. In your SF2 installation directory where all the game .exe resides, make a copy of StrikeFighters2 Israel.ini (or any other similar ini) and rename it StrikeFighters2 Korea.ini. Open the newly created .ini and find the following:

[Directory]
...
CampaignsDirectory=Campaigns
...

And change it to:

CampaignsDirectory=C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Korea\Campaigns\

*Please do not just copy paste this line but replace [username] with whatever’s set on your PC.

This step is to prevent stock campaigns from displaying which can sometimes cause problems.

b. In your Mod folder (C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Korea\), open up the file Options.ini, find the [instantAction] section, and replace it with the following:

[instantAction]
AircraftType=F-86E-10
MissionMap=Korea3
StartTime=15:30:00
StartDate=09/18/1951
StartTimeDeviation=120
TextureSet=0
NationalMarking=0
SquadronMarking=0
AircraftNumber=0
KillMarking=0

This would get InstantAction working spawning F-86s, Mig-15s etc.

--- Above are essential steps. Optional steps follow.

6. Files for payware mods.

Go to the extracted contents of the third .7z file, and enter the folder named "Payware Files".

a. The contents in the folder "For Razbam Banshee" are for the F2H-2 aircraft sold by Razbam. If you have it, drop the contents from this folder into the mod folder (C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Korea\), and then drop the .LOD files from your purchase into their corresponding paths (banshee korea.LOD, and f2h2cockpit.LOD for the cockpit). Banshees will thus fly sorties in campaigns.
b. The contents in the folder "For YAP Essex" are for Carrier Pack 1 (CV-34 Oriskany and F9F) sold by Yankee Air Pirate. If you have it, drop the contents from this folder into the mod folder, and then drop Essex_Korea.LOD from your purchase into its corresponding path. Next, create a copy of the .LOD, and rename it "Essex_Korea_Col.LOD" (Without the "). This is crucial, as the game will use the collision LOD for ship deck positioning.

7. Alternate mods.

Go to the extracted contents of the third .7z file (StrikeFighters2_Korea_3_of_3.7z).

a. The folder "F-86 Alternate Cockpit" contains modded F-100 cockpits for use on the F-86 series. If decided to use these cockpits, use the contents in the folder "With EXP2" if SF2 Expansion Pack 2 is installed; if not, use the contents in the "NO EXP2" folder.
b. The folder "F-86 Alternate Skins" contains SF1 F-86 skins adapted to SF2.





And that’s it, the setup is complete.

SF2:I REAF/EAF Spitfire Mk.V Trop Pak by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co (ver 0.9) 1/06/2014
 
-- Something for the Mid-East --
 
= For SF2:I, and/or Full-5 Merged +Expansion Paks (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: having whichever expansion pak gave us the Spit Mk. IX is required, as this mod references the stock 3W destroyed Spitfire, and early EAF roundels. It is designed to be =ONLY= used in the SF2:I environment. Anything else is 'at your own risk'. (although it WILL work in a FUll-5 merged +2 Expansion Paks) *
 
This is tagged as Ver 0.9, as we're sure some minor fixes may be required. We wanted to get it out into the hands of End Users ™, both for your flying pleasure, and further examinations.
As stated, above this aircraft package is for use ONLY in the SF2I environment, and only between the years of 47-49 (although tagged with a 44 start date). This is required, as the national marking reference ALL stock 3W decals.
All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is set to TRUE. You have 26 historical serial numbers, in Arabic characters.
Skin included with the package is:
 
EAF: No. 2 Squadron (post-45, just EAF; previous user, REAF)
 
Finished in the Standard Desert Day Scheme, as delivered from RAF stocks during WW2.
The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0. Guns are also grouped, MGs in Group 1, the cannon in Group 2. No weapons or guns are included -you SHOULD already have these-, but the pilot figure and drop tank are.
 
When in game, you'll see:
 
Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop EAF (CAF)
 
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate THIS Spitfire from any other EAF Mk.Vs you may (or may not) have.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
Good Hunting!

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.

Cocas,Shaolin and the beast present the new and improved G-1
 
5 skins Included with remodeled 37mm kannon
 
based on pasko's ju-87b
