SAC Twilight : KC-10A Extender(Marcfighters)
This is a redux of the Marcfighters KC-10 mod. It incorporates each wing that used the KC-10A in the last few years of SAC service also included is a El Dorado Canyon skin. While we do not currently have this operation in the game, I was able to find pics of ten Extenders in the UK in the middle of April, 1986. Ten KC-10As were used in the operation. you do the math.
Installation:     Unlike many of my mods, i reccommend just deleting the previous mod if you have it on hand. This is a vast leap over the older skin set, and covers all available tankers rather than just 6 for each camo style. Allowing overwrite should not hurt anything, just dont complain about clutter if you go that path.
                          Otherwise, like always, unzip and install into any SF2 mod folder.
Included:    
    4 skins for the 2d BMW, 22d ARW, 68th ARW, and Operation El Dorado Canyon with historical serial numbers
    multi camo decal sets for these skins
    nose art as appropriate
Known Issues
    the model and flight model are the same that Marcfighters included in the original (SF1) ODS mod. it was meant as eyecandy, and had no pit. as released i have commented out the cockpit, but had a sitting on the nose pit so i could load it in game to check work. there are also no windows for the cockpit, the entire fuselage is one piece (cause marking limitations)
    it is sluggish, and flies nose down.
    given there is a newer model known to be in the pipeline (eta two weeks), i am putting the lipstick on this pig but not working too much ini improvement. over 3/4 of the work on this should transfer easy to the new model when it comes comments on how she flies will be referred to this warning.

Sukhoi Su-24P for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
This is a simple mod of Veltro2K's Su-24 'Fencer' to create a fictional Su-24P in service with the Republic of Paran Air Force in the 1980-2020 timeline. 
Please note that this Su-24P is released 'as is' (in response to a request) and it really needs some additional work on loadouts and the skin. In addition, the 3D model unfortunately has some 'rope' issues so you might want to turn shadows off.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Su-24P folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Su-24P folder into your Decals folder.
3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the PTB-3000P folder into your Weapons folder.
That's it!

CREDITS
As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
Special thanks to Veltro2K for bringing so many cool aircraft to Strike Fighters including this one.
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

StrikeFighters2 Hi-Res Replacement Spash Screens 
By Viper
Replacement spash (Initializing, Please Wait) screen for SF2. Uncompress the zip file and copy the *.bmp files into "<Your Install location>\Strike Fighters 2\Menu\" folder...where-ever you installed SF2.
Simple install: Backup your "INITSCREEN.BMP" and  rename one of the new BMP you like to "INITSCREEN.BMP" and all your SF2 starts will show the new splash screen. 
Complex Install: If you want each of your games to have a different splash screen...Back up and edit the <game>.ini file for the <game>.exe you want to change the splash screen for in the "<Your Install location>\Strike Fighters 2\" folder. Update the "LoadingScreen=" parm with the name of splash screen you want to display on start up: ex. "LoadingScreen=Menu\INITSCREEN (1).BMP".
Note: If you copied the <game>.exe file to some other name, you have to copy the <game>.ini file to the same name as a the <game>.exe file. Also, the splash screen has to be a BMP file...PSD included so you can make your own. 
Thanks to "Squid" for the idea and some elements from his screens!
Enjoy!

This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-4E_75 to give a fictional Phantom F-4E 'FACH' as it might have appeared in service with the Fuerza Aérea de Chile and fictional 'Tiger' markings are included for Grupo de Aviacion Nº 12.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-4E_FACH folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-4E_FACH folder into your Decals folder.
That's it!

Are you fed up of debris flying up in the air and spoiling your screenshot, or not matching your paint scheme (or your navigator's eyes)?
 Then use 'Debris Gone' and banish debris today!
OK. As an unexpected request, here is a simple replacement for the stock DEBRIS.tga which you can put into your Flight folder and remove flying debris. The original DEBRIS.tga will remain safe and snug in your CAT files so if you don't like you can just delete it and your game is back to normal. If you haven't got a flight folder then just put my Flight folder into your main folder (not in your Objects folder - go up one level).
Special thanks to Migbuster for giving me the idea.

De Havilland Vampire F.8 for SF1
This aircraft mod will create a 'what if' de havilland Vampire F.8 with colourful post-war markings for No.3, No.4, No.98 and No.263 squadrons of the Royal Air Force. 
 
This is a revised upload that was originally for SF2 but mistakenly got left in the SF1 section when the SF1/SF2 split happened and as I can't get SFG/WOX to work on my W10 desktop I've not been able to test it. I think I've got the reverse engineering right but the one thing I can't do is sort out the rockets and tanks (it's so much easier in SF2).

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Drop the Vampire_F8 folder into your Aircraft folder.
That's it.

As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
Thanks to Pasko for this superb add-on aircraft (one of his many), Gramps for the skins and also Don (C5) for the FM.
