Beta Version.
 
In case someone don’t know much about them, 
J-35 is 5-Gen stealth multirole fighter from the mysterious country in the East too. It is designed for air superiority and strike missions and powered by two medium-thrust turbofan engines the WS-19,and in theory, it has similar situational awareness and collaborative combat capabilities as the J-20.In addition to being an advanced naval tactical fighter, it will also gradually replace the old third and fourth generation fighters in the PLAAF inventory such as the J-10 in the future.
On October 29, 2021,carrier-based variant made its maiden flight,air force variant on September 26, 2023. PLAAF Officially revealed the J-35A on November 5, 2024.
===========================================================================================================
What does this mod probably have?
(1) It contains 1 birds, J-35
①J-35,Navy type,aircraft carrier based variant with a catapult launch bar and folded wings;
(2) Cockpit from J-20s;
(3) The Chinese alarm audio generated by AI, of course, fabricated. There are related videos circulating on the Internet that prove the existence of cockpit voice, but we are unable to determine the exact content;
===========================================================================================================
3.Usage:
Unzip and copy Sounds, Effects and Objects these 3 folder to where your game is installed;
===========================================================================================================
Note:
(1) No weapons included. Due to potential maintenance needs, I made a separate PLAAF weapon pack, you need to download it separately, I'm sorry if it causes you any inconvenience;
 
(2) Like the J-20 and F-22,the J-35 uses AESA radar too, I set a higher scanning frequency and strength to avoid the disadvantages of traditional mechanical scanning radar and improve the resistance to old type of ECM;
(3) IRL, there is no sign that the J-35 carries a cannon so far,just as J-20,but I still add rumored 4x23 rotary cannon;
(4) After referring to the prototype FC-31, I decided to only set 4 stations for the weapons bay, which makes it lack the means to mount SRAAM, so I set station 1 and 2 under the wings as PL-10 stations, which is similar to the F-35, kinda "What If";
(5) At the time this model was made, there weren’t a lot of reference images, so there is a certain degree of “distortion”, and I did what I could when I made the further adjustments;

Beta version,it means not 100% complete, but almost there
===========================================================================================================
In case someone don’t know much about them, the J-20 is a 5-gen stealth twin-engine fighter from the mysterious country in the East.
The first verification aircraft completed its first test flight in 2011 and entered service with the Chinese PLA Air Force in 2017. It has been used in the past It has undergone numerous major or minor upgrades and improvements in more than ten years, giving it excellent low detectability (stealth capability), omnidirectional situational awareness, powerful radar and breakthrough collaborative combat capabilities. 
===========================================================================================================
1.What does this mod probably have?
(1) First, it contains 3 advanced birds, J-20, J-20A and J-20S.
① J-20 is the basic single-seat model;
② J-20A is upgrade model with better aerodynamic design and better engine WS-15;
③ J-20S, was first spotted in 2022. Most people speculate that it will serve as a "loyal wingman" command unit;
(2) Independent cockpit, but it should be noted that this cockpit is fabricated out of thin air and does not represent the real appearance of the J-20 cockpit. It is only based on vague news videos and simulation cockpit pictures at air shows. ;
(3) The Chinese alarm audio generated by AI, of course, fabricated. There are related videos circulating on the Internet that prove the existence of cockpit voice, but we are unable to determine the exact content;
===========================================================================================================
2.Usage:
Unzip and copy Sounds, Effects and Objects these 3 folder to where your game is installed;
===========================================================================================================
3.Note:
(1) No weapons included. Due to potential maintenance needs, I made a separate PLAAF weapon pack, you need to download it separately, I'm sorry if it causes you any inconvenience;
(2) Since the J-20s uses the same AESA radar as F-22, I set a higher scanning frequency and strength to avoid the disadvantages of traditional mechanical scanning radar and improve the resistance to old type of ECM;
Of course, based on SF2 game, there is essentially no difference between them, except that the player's operation will be more comfortable; I have performed the same operation on all similar radars of the same era in my own game, and for myself Said they did a good job, but I don't know if that would be a bit IMBA for you guys.
(3) IRL, there is no sign that the J-20 carries a cannon, so I did not equip the 20 and 20S models with cannons, Hit and Run! 
But J-20A, however, for the purpose of gameplay, I added a rumored 4x23 rotary cannon to give the J-20A a "What If" look.
Moreover, the current J-20 in reality has no signs of using any air to ground weapons, so I designed it as a pure air superiority fighter and used the avionics module dll of the F14A to enable it to track and attack four targets at the same time, which removes the ability to scan the ground objects, even though EOTS is still available.
About J-20A/S, since there is only speculation about how it works, I regard it as a multi-role fighter and hope that it will have complete ground attack capabilities, so the 70s avionics module is used to detect ground targets.

5.Special Thanks:
1.yakarov79, logan4, Sundowner（Teach me lots of basic modding skill）
2.Wrench (Also gave me hints in the formation lights question, but I especially want to thank him for the extra  “modding help”)
3.EricJ,Menrva（Great ideas in my modding process）
4.JAT81500（For the JHMCS/pilot mod）
5.Crusader（For parts of HUD textures）

Of course, there are far more than these people. In the knowledge base of the forum, many people's detailed  discussions have given me a certain level of foundation for modding through years of ini editing.
It can be said that most of the people here have helped me indirectly.
If I forgot to mention you who also contributed, please be sure to let me know as soon as possible.
In the end, the most in need of thanks is TK, which allows this high-degree-of-freedom game to appear.

2. Notes:
You can see multiple folders ending with name of GX/XL in Weapons folder. They correspond to inert training models, similar to CATM in the US Air Force.To prevent the game system from spawning them in combat missions, I set them to "invisible". You need to call add thier names in Loadout.ini if you need them.

Unzip and copy Objects and Effects folders into the game installation directory;
4.Credits:
(1) Sky Train: Original model texture (PL-10/PL-12/PL-15/KD-88 series/GB-6/AKF-98A);

Third Wire F-8K & F-8L Crusader 1.0

This pack is a TW DLC enhancement. So it's needed to work.
Included is the F-8K with data/ avionic/ effect/ sound corrections for accuracy, as well as modification of the Third Wire DLC F-8K Crusader model into the F-8L model Crusader.

F-8K
-    The F-8K is the F-8C airframes rebuilt to extend their service life starting in 1969. It is updated with the same underwing pylons as F-8E, but it did not receive any engine or avionics updates. The F-8K was used mainly by the Marines squadrons in the States and did not see any combat.
F-8L
-    The F-8L is the F-8B airframes rebuilt to extend their service life starting in 1969. It is updated with the same wing as the F-8H as well as the landing gear from the F-8D/ E, but it did not receive any engine or avionics updates. The F-8L was used mainly by the Reserve squadrons in the States and did not see any combat.

To install:
1, Unpack and drop into your main mods folder.
2, Override when prompted.

Credits:
-     F-8 DATA & LOADOUT v1.0 update  by FANATIC MODDER.
-     SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion v.2.0 Gold  by Eburger68 and team.
-    Weapons by Ravenclaw_007.

CombatAce fair use agreement applies.

Enjoy,
Dan.

Viper Dawn : First USAF F-16A Block 10s (for TW F-16A)
This mod utilizes the stock TW F-16A Netz and previous work to represent the first three operational USAF F-16A wings (not the training wings). Featuring historical serial numbers for each unit, and markings to reflect the eras this is the most accurate skin representation of the early block (1/5/10) F-16s to date. I use the same TW model for all three as the biggest visible difference in the three was the black radome on the Block 1s. I represented this via decal for the appropriate serial numbers and they were all delivered to the 388th TFW in in 1979. Otherwise it would be impossible to distiguish between teh three models in game.
    Included
-  2 363rd TFW skins for the 17th TFS "Owls" and 19th TFS "Gamecocks". Note the 17th would go on to rename as the Hooters after they transitioned to the C/D model F-16
-  4 388th TFW skins, represented these units in operation from the first USAF Vipers in 1979 until their transition to Block 15s in 1983
-  12 474th TFW skins. The 474th operated the Block 10 from late 1980 until the wing was disbanded in late 1989. These dozen skins reflect some of teh marking changes for the three squadrons over nearly a decade of service
-  weapons in use by the early Vipers in the early 1980s, with some ini tweaks by myself
    Required
valid copy of Strike Fighters 2: Israel
    Instructions
unzip, unload contents of "2 Mod folder" into mod folder of your choice. allow overwrites if needed
NOTE: there are two previous F-16A Block 10 mods based on the TW model. this mod is based on them, but with improvement. because they leverage the TW model and are image and ini only, i have kept teh basic inis in this release for your convienence. But it was made much easier to create standing on their shoulders
    ****************NOTE***************
This mod heavily leverages decals that are meant for a Team Viper Block 10 set, and feature decals and number list entries for the B models as well. Due to lack of a TW two seat F-16, these are restricted by ini
however, when a Team Viper Block 10 becomes available, the decal set here will be ready to go speeding up release of this skin set for the new models.

SF2 Tu-16 Badger Pack by Pasko       11/1/2024
-For SF2, Full 5 Merged REQUIRED. Must Have SF2:NA!!!!!)
-Another 1stGen Salvage Operation-
This is a revamp of Pasko's Tu-16 Badger(s) from SF1 to SF2 "standards". This package contains the 3 variants of the Badger he and his team created 'way back in 2005. As stated above, a full-5 merged install is required; or at =LEAST= having SF2:NA in the merged install. This is because the Cruise Missile versions use the stock 3W cruise missiles (Although I've supplied the early versions).
The 3 aircraft included herein are ...
Tu-16 Badger-A (free fall bombs only)
Tu-16K-10-26 Badger C (cruise missiles only; 1 centerline, 2 wing mounted)
Tu-16G Badger K (2 cruise missiles, wing mounted only)
A cockpit is supplied for each, with a working bombsight for the standard bomber. (See notes about the issues flying bombers in SF2). All weapons, execpting the KS-1 & KSR-2 missiles are stock 3W items (FAB, RBK, K10S). All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All new Hangar and Loading screens have also been included, for you enjoyment.
The aircraft are supplied with a number skins for the varying Air Force users. Some (re)use their original 1stGen decals, with a slight repaint to stop any 'fuzziness'. Many decals used (for Middle East and Soviet birds) are stock items. You'll get:
Tu-16A:
Soviet Silver
Ukraine Silver (<1991)
Egypt AF Silver (<1966)
Iraq Silver (<1973)
Indonesia Silver (<1961)
PLAAF China Sliver (<1959) 
Iraq Green Stripe Camo (<1978)*
Iraq Sand/Green Camo (<1980)*
Tu-16C:
Soviet Naval Aviation Silver (blue borts)
Tu-16G:
Soviet Naval Aviation Silver (blue borts)
As indicated above, you can see the the SF2 "date switch" is active. The star (*) tagged above indicates these years are "best guess". When possible the original readme for all skins are within each skin folder, and notes are sometimes made on the textureset.ini. The PLAAF bird only gets 24 bort number decals, which are (hopefully!) historically correct and nearly the right color blue <grin>! Pilot figures are also included. For exact in-game usage for the C & G models, I'd suggest giving their data inis a looksee, as they have several Secondary Roles to fulfill.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
Tu-16 Badger-A (Pasko)
Tu-16K-10-26 Badger C (Pasko)
Tu-16G Badger K (Pasko)
The (Pasko) differentializes these from the stock 3W Badgers (and any mods thereof). So you can't mistook them for anything other than what they is. 
As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included. The 'Change Log' is of course, in the Notes section below. 
Good Hunting & Happy Landings!
