SF2 Israel Hi-Res 1920x1080 Menu Screens and Music! v5
By Viper 05/17/2020
Note: I removed all the nation sounds from this Menu packs for size reasons. If you intend to install the "VIPER63A HQ Menu Sounds" pack, please install that pack first. Installing the HQ Sound pack over the Menu pack may overwrite some of the menu specific music files. You can always re-install this menu pack to get the menu specific theme music back.
Special thanks to Homefies and Spectre8750 for their contributions that led me here...
This mod includes custom "Israeli" themed menu screens, pilots and music. I used the MENU INI files to reuse the music files for different menus. This reduces the size of the package as I don't have duplicates of the same music files for different menus. You should unzip the file and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are alternate screens I have in there that you might like better.
If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up your FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder.

SF2 F-4C_67 Phantom II, Hawaii Air National Gurad Skin Pack    5/15/2020
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
*You must have the F-4C_67 in you hanger to make use of this mod!!*
This is a reskinning of the stock F-4C_67 as used by the 199th TFS, 154 W of the Hawaiian Air National Gurad from 1976-1987, when they were replaced by F-15A Eagles.
A modified version of the stock skin, with added 'slimers' is used, along with 26 100% historical serial numbers. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The skin is the "standard" 3-tone SEA style. Also included are modified _data and _loadout inis, giving a landing light and Player Controlable (tm) canopy. The loadout ini has the (often missing) wing tanks added to all mission statements. The canopy operates with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm) Shift/0 (zero). 
When in-game, on the "select skin" drop down, you'll see:
199th TFS, HI ANG (76-87)
This will assist you in selecting the skin. 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... they can be accessed after unzippering. 
Happy Landings!

F-5GN Sea Tiger (What if)

This mod is made for SF2.

I. History (fiction)
In 1969 there were decisive elections in West Germany. In reality, the Social Democrats won.
A new foreign policy followed and a period of reduction of tensions between East and West.
WHAT IF, the other side had won?
What if the conservatives had won and Franz Joseph Strauß (an old bavarian Commie eater) would have become Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany?
And so it starts.
In 1969 Strauß was elected as Chancellor. A period of rising tensions between East and West
 started. To protect the sea lanes between Europe and America the west german parliament Bundestag decided to build up a west german carrier force consisting of 3 carriers.
The american gouvernment was pleased and offered to sell 3 carriers of the Essex class (subclass Ticonderoga).
The first ship which was handed over was CV-34 Oriskany in 1969. Renamed in R-22 Theodor Heuss it was core of the first west german carrier group. 1973 CV-38 Shangri-La became R-23 Heinrich Lübke (later renamed in Walter Scheel) and two years later CV-45 Valley Forge became R-24 Gustav Heinemann.
The americans offered A-4 Skyhawk and F-8 Crusader as planes for the carrier group. The Bundesmarine accepted the A-4, but rejected the Crusader, because the Bundesmarine wanted a more multi role capable plane, not only a pure fighter.
At this moment Northrop entered the competition and offered a navalised version of the brand new F-5E Tiger. Under the designation F-5GN (German Navy) it should be produced in America and Germany. The west german government accepted the offer and the serial production of the F-5GN started. During flight tests on the way the US Marines decided, that it would be a good idea to replace their old F-8 Crusaders with F-5GN planes. So the F-5GN became a Marine plane.
Later, when the Marines retired their attack carriers the surviving F-5GN were transfered to Top Gun school.
The F-5GN stayed in west german service till 1995. Then it was replaced by F-31 Mustang II.

Heinkel HE-100D1
The Heinkel He 100 was a German pre-World War II fighter aircraft design from Heinkel. Although it proved to be one of the fastest fighter aircraft in the world at the time of its development, the design was not ordered into series production. Approximately 19 prototypes and pre-production examples were built. None are known to have survived the war.

Hawker Hunter FGA.9D for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
This is a simple mod of the stock Hunter FGA.9 to create a fictional Hunter FGA.9D in service with Royal Air Force Middle East Command in the 1961-1972 timeline. It's really just a Hunter FGA.9 with a desert camo (two squadrons are featured; No.43 Squadron and No.112 Squadron with a sharkmouth) but it looks cool when on emergency deployment to Dhimar!

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9D folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9D folder into your Decals folder.
That's it!

CREDITS
As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
