Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

A Mod of the Mirage 2000C from The Mirage Factory to make it look like a fictional fighter for the colombian air force.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Drop the folders into your MODS Folder. If asked to overwrite, click yes.

CREDITS
First of all, big thanks to Wrench and Sundowner for allowing me to release this plane.
All credit belongs to ALL the members of The Mirage Factory for their fantastic work they did with this model.
Special credit goes to Oliver Anguille for his effort and hard work. May he rest in peace.

Original readme is included.

For any further questions don't hesitate to contact me.

Kindest regards

This mod should be used in conjunction with the "night lights for City" mod released by me.
Quick update to the entire Kamchatka 250m map to have night lights in cities.
 
Installation:
Before you begin. Backup your files
Extract the ini files to Kamchatka terrain folder. Note this only works for Kamchatka terrain patched with Stary's 250m tileset PLUS the crash fix update released by me.
 
 

The purpose of this mod is to enable some light decoration of city in SF2, which does not provide such feature out of box.
This mod does not add real light source due to poor graphical outcome. It works in similar fashion as the old Janes F-15E Strike Eagle by adding some always bright points to landscape.
 
 
Please note the mod itself does not automatically add lights to maps. You will need to follow the instruction inside the zip add lights using the Mue's Target Area Editor in link below. There is some step to add to the _TYPES.ini for each terrain before you can do that. Hence please follow the instruction below carefully.
 
Mue's Target Area Editor - as part of the tool box
 
I have included an effect file which could be called in _types.ini in terrain folder for anyone interested in experimenting night lights with real light source. This is currently disabled due to poor visual outcome.

This is a bug fix for the random crashing issue of the Kamchatka 250m tile set update released by Stary in below link
Kamchatka 250m version with adjusted tileset etc - Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements - CombatACE
 
If you are using the original Kamchatka 2.0 terrain released by Baltika, this is not applicable and you should avoid using it.
 
 
Beautiful landscape tile. However it crashes randomly when flying in certain area or dropping bombs to airfields. The key issue is some incorrect file assignment in DATA.ini and how SF2 handles files in different season folders.
It took me a long time to figure out. Hopefully this can help you as well. 
 
Installation:
1. Before everything, backup your KAMCHATKA_DATA.INI in your terrains folder. In case this breaks something else you have modded.
2. Extract the file contents and overwrite file if asked to terrains/KAMCHATKA folder
 

Soviet Spitfires x 2 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
This is a simple mod of the stock Spitfire IXc and clipped-wing Spitfire IXe to create flyable Spits in service with the Soviet Air Force in the 1943-1945 timeline. I've chosen to put these into the 'what-if' hangar due to the very generic nature of the 'winter' schemes and markings but please note that both of the 'summer' schemes are based on real aircraft and include Spitfires flown by the famous pilots Juan Lario Sanchez (Yellow 3) and Alexander Karpov (White 32).

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Spitfire9c_Sov and Spitfire9e_Sov folders into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Spitfire9c_Sov and Spitfire9e_Sov folders into your Decals folder.
That's it! 
Please note that you will need a suitable 'prop' pilot. 
Please also note that you should really create a new nation for a WW2 Soviet Union. Experienced WW2 players will probably already have one but check your nation name as it might be different from my preferred nation name of 'SovietWW2'.
 
CREDITS
As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
Extra special thanks to Starfighter2 for the Spitfire cockpit.
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Simple skin pack with a few sets of skins for Navy versions of A-7 Corsair II - A/B/C/E that flew during the air war over Vietnam between 1967-1974.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) 
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
To run this mod you need also access to TW lod files from SF2 Series.
userlist.ini included covering correct years of use of specific models.
Skins cover the years 1967-1974  CVW deployments during Vietnam War. All squadrons year by year.
The pack contains skins and decals. 
Skins sets are made in pairs - two squadrons for CVW for a specific year. 
I could not find all the correct BuNo / Modex but I am considering this as ongoing work in progress, so one day if I will learn something new there will be an update. Also, not all squadrons have CAG markings, sometimes i could not find info on markings...so I left it, again there might be an update if new info appears.
I believe that the pack after unp[backing is around 2.6GB. So make some space for SLUF.
 
All skins, new bump maps, specular, and decals are made by me. 
 
report bugs.
enjoy. 
Jarek Hereda.
 
P.S.
This is huge, a lot of copy-paste for me, all decals.ini, textur.ini, etc...So if you will find that one decal is not showing up or something...just check first - maybe there is some bug in *.ini file. Fix, post solution, etc... So others can benefit from your fix. 
I put a lot of effort and time, and checked everything twice..still gremlins can appear. 
 
PART TWO - OPTIONAL MOD FILES.
This is only for experienced users!
who know how to improve the game for themselves, are not afraid of experimenting, and know how to go back to stock ini files if something is not okay.
This is based on my mod that unifies USN equipment (300 gal tanks, MERs, TERs etc.)
optional mod files include reworked data files - correcting usage of weapons, fuel tanks, etc. adding some specific tanks, and stations for specific launchers adding fake pilot mods etc, 
additional fake pilot mods (legendary fake pilot mod required!)
additional loadout ini files - for a better game experience 
additional weapons by Ravenclaw to cover weapons needed in new loadout ini files.
D704 refueling pod/fuel tank by Nyghtfall from his great A-4 pack.. 
I highly recommend picking up piece by piece from optional mods, testing, and deciding whether to use them or not.
Use the optional mod as a separate mod or as a reference to make your own.

SF2 Falklands Mod HMS Ark Royal ‘what if’ campaign 1.0

This package contains everything you need for an Operation Corporate campaign that uses the HMS Ark Royal with her F-4K Phantom FG.1 and Buccaneer S.2D airwing as if they were all still in service for the 1982 Falklands war.
It works solely with the updated version of Kesselbrut's "Falklands '82" (Operation Corporate) mod package for Strike Fighters 2 (SF2) uploaded by Dave https://combatace.com/files/file/11627-sf2-falklands-mod/
In this ‘what if’ scenario the Royal Navy Invincible class carriers have been delayed entering service requiring the HMS Ark Royal to remain active along with her FAA aircraft into the early 1980’s. As such the HMS Ark Royal leads the Royal Navy Task Force to recapture the Falkland Islands. The HMS Hermes serves as her sister carrier in the Task Force operating Sea Harriers and RAF Harriers. However the size and role of her Sea Harrier airwing is more reflective of the ships role as an ASW/ Commando Carrier as it was when the HMS Ark Royal was still active in real life. Meaning the bulk of the air war will be fought by the Phantoms and Buccaneers from the Ark Royal.
The F-4K Phantom (75) are as they were at the end of Royal Navy service but with the addition of Skyflash and G model Sidewinder missiles (RN Phantoms only ever carried the D). One would assume they would have received these alongside the RAF FG.1/ FGR.2 Phantoms had they remained in service with the Navy after 1978. AIM-9L Sidewinders are also available for the Operation as they were for the Sea Harriers in real life. I have also made the SUU-23/A available but it is not used in any loadouts as it was only integrated onto the FG.1 after they were handed over to the RAF and upgraded with lead computing gunsights. The HEI rounds do not have tracers.
The Buccaneer S.2D is also as it was at the end of Royal Navy service but with the ECM pods carried by the RAF Buccaneer force in 1982 and the ability to carry the Pave Spike pod. As I imagine these capabilities would have been transferred over from the RAF Buccaneers if this ‘what if’ had scenario had occurred. As well as using the G model Sidewinders of the Phantoms.
Both aircraft have a big single shot of Chaff simulating how they loaded it inside the airbrakes of aircraft without dispensers in that era.

Installation:
 
In addition to the requirements for SF2 Falklands Mod 2.0 you will need Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam (SF2V) for the F-4K cockpit as the F-4J cockpit is more accurate for a Royal Navy F-4K than the Third Wire DLC F-4K cockpit or Third Wire F-4M cockpit.
 
 
 
STEP 1:

If you don’t already have a working version of the SF2 Falklands Mod 2.0 download and install it by following the instructions here 
 
This mod requires a separate Mod Folder from the StrikeFighters2_Falklands Mod Folder you already have or created in step 1.
 
 
- Open your SF2 Installation directory and make a copy of the StrikeFighters2_Falklands.exe you already have, Rename the copy to StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal.exe
 
 
- Run the newly copied and renamed StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal.exe file, then exit back out to the Windows desktop after navigating through a few menus. A custom Mod Folder for your Falklands'82 Ark Royal mod install will have been created in the same location as your StrikeFighters2_Falklands Mod Folder you already have.
 
 
- Open your Mod Folder named StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal and delete the \Objects sub-directory (including everything in it).
 
 
 
 
STEP 3: INSTALL MAIN COMPONENTS TO MOD FOLDER
 
 
- Copy and paste everything from your StrikeFighters2_Falklands Mod Folder you already had into the StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal Mod Folder you just created in step 2 EXCEPT the Options.INI file and the Version.INI file.
 
 
- Unpack the SF2_Falklands82ArkRoyal.7z archive package to a location on your hard drive.
 
 
- Move the contents of the \To_Mod_Folder directory to your StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal Mod Folder (created in Step 2 above) YOU MUST OVERIDE WHEN ASKED!
 

STEP 4: EDIT OPTIONS.INI
 
 
Open the Options.INI in your StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal Mod Folder. Locate the "Instant Action" section and replace it with the following:
 
[instantAction]
AircraftType=F-4K_75
MissionMap=Malvinas
StartTime=15:15:00
StartDate=05/21/1982
StartTimeDeviation=10
TextureSet=0
NationalMarking=0
SquadronMarking=0
AircraftNumber=0
KillMarking=0
 
 
Just below the "Instant Action" section is the "Single Mission" section. At minimum you should change the EndYear= statement to 1983 or higher. I recommend setting the StartYear= and EndYear= as follows:
 
 
StartYear=1982
EndYear=1983
 
 
Save your changes and close the Options.INI file.
 
 
THAT'S IT. Your "Falklands'82 Ark Royal for SF2" mod should now be ready to use.

This is a variation of my personal skin, with my personal elements removed, and serves as a fictional squadron skin. Not much else can be said other than you can drop this in your EA-18G folder and go fly. It can be found under VAQ-562 CAG July 2023 in the drop-down menu.

The effect was developed for a super-vanilla mod pack within our team and later become available to the generic SF2 games.
 
Please backup your file before your installation.
 
Installation: 
Extract the relevant files to SF installation and SF mod folders, overwrite the file if needed.
Follow the instruction in the attached word document to get it work.
 
 
Uninstallation:
Overwrite files with backup you made.

MiG-25PD cockpit by Centurion-1 with fixes 
Notable fixes include: 
- removed gunsight. 25 doesn't really need it, most of the footage shows 25s without gunsight
- fixed G-meter: added negative Gs and redid the layout to be more in line with the real thing 
- original model actually had airspeed indicator and altimeter confused - this was corrected. Altimeter is above (shorter needle shows thousands, longer hundreds, plus analogue counter), airspeed indicator is below (likewise - shorter needle shows thousands, longer hundreds)
- fixed vertical velocity indicator. It wasn't working due to "values" being put in the wrong order (could be that it was working on older patches)
- fixed compass and course arrow. They were calling non-existing nodes
- added over-G and too much AoA lights above G-meter: not sure if realistic, but will do
- added afterburner light near nozzle indicator
- removed some lights and switch animations: they are cute, but very incorrect 
- MiG-25PD version gets new radar layout taken from MiG-23 radar: it makes sense as PD radar "Sapphire-25" was developed from "Sapphire-23" on MiG-23
- can't do anything about warning lights and gear/flaps indicators not working - cockpit model just lacks any light nodes 
- added some labels on instruments 
---------------
Install: remove old cockpit folder, *cockpit and *avionics files, drop in new ones, rename accordingly. 
Cockpit versions:
25P - for MiG-25P
25PD - for MiG-25PD/PDS
25PD uses avionics70 dll! Make sure to address it in the init file:
AvionicsDLL=Avionics70.dll
25PD is tuned for MiG-25PD from Coyote Airspace. It is easily adaptable for older versions of PD/PDS, just change position values in *cockpit file. 

The 65th Aggressor Squadron stationed at Naris Air Force Base operated F-15C fighter jets from 2005 to 2014, and used a variety of unique Schemes. This mod is one of the two types they have used. I will use it in the game Called "Blue" and "Tan" in
Made this for my personal campaign "Red Flag", based on the F-15C, to share with you all.
Special thanks to:
Fast Cargo provides a great collection of F-15 packs for the community
Viper63 added accurate machine number decals to his Aggressor pack
usage:
1. Put the "65AGRS_Blue" and "65AGRS_Tan" folders into your F-15C module;
2. Put the "Decals" folder into: your SF2 directory\Objects;
3. Start the game and start your F-15C, the game will automatically inject data.

The 64th Aggressor Squadron, stationed at Naris Air Force Base, use this skin for their F-16C, which is based on a similar skin for the Russian Air Force Su-57
This is made for my personal campaign "Red Flag", Based on F-16C Block30/32, and I will share it with you.
Special thanks to:
Viper team provide those great Falcon mod
Usage:
1. Put the "64_AGRS_Ghost" folder into your F-16 mod (block 30 recommended);
2. Put the "Decals" folder into: your SF2 directory\Objects;
3. Start the game and read your F-16C block 30, the game will automatically read the data.

While upgrading the old Su-25s to Su-25M1/M1K, Ukraine also digitized their camouflage to make them more modern inside and out.
299th Tactical Aviation Brigade is currently operating Su-25M1/M1K, this mod is based on this unit as a prototype, I picked some numbers(From 30-51), but according to the wiki, the Blue 39/49 of the brigade had been shot down, so I deleted them.
I originally made it for my personal campaign "West Wind", but I also hope that more people will get it
 
Special thanks to:
ShaKhrai, in order to save time, I asked his permission to use his existing files for deep editing;
paulopanz, who contributed a refined Su-25 mod to our community;
 
Usage:
1. Put the "299_TAB" folder into your Su-25 mod;
2. Put the "Su-25M1_Ukr" folder into: your SF2 directory\Objects\Decals;
3. Start the game and read your Su-25, the game will automatically read the data.

43rd Airlift Wing Pope AFB 2000
Hello everyone, this is a simple skin and decal set to represent the 43rd Airlift Wing and the aircraft it had on hand around the turn of the century.

You will need a C-130E SKE aircraft for this mod. you can find them either in Dels C-130 Superpack #1
or my 23rd Wing Package
 
 
once you have that, just unzip, add to the mod folder of your choice and allow overwrites.

A Simple F-22 Tests New Coating, Spotted in 2022
usage:
Put the 422TES_Chrome folder into Menrva's F-22 mod, then start the game once and select F-22, the game engine will automatically inject the skin
P.S. Since SF2 does not seem to support setting the material of some areas separately, I cannot restore the mirror effect of the coating in reality, so I set it to visually white.
The reflection effect is solved, but maybe you will notice that in many cases it looks a bit blue-gray, which we think is caused by the color of the reflected sky.
 

All in all, this is a mod that restores the visual effects of Flare according to the photos IRL, you can refer to the screenshot I uploaded.
In addition to purely visual effects, the response to gravity has also been adjusted by the way, so this mod will look more realistic overall.
And of course, this is still a BETA version, I think I need to make further adjustments.
 
Usage:
Copy Effects and Objects folders into your SF2 main folder
