Nanchang Q-5A 'Fantan' for Strike Fighters 1
This is a simple mod of the excellent Nanchang Q-5/A-5 Fantan brought to us by 101tfs, Erwin_Hans and friends back in 2008 to make a fictional export version for the Mongolian Air Force. This mod uses the famous 'ordway' MiG-19S pit and the original cockpit 'read me' is included in the aircraft folder - it's certainly worth a read.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the Aircraft folder drag and drop the Q-5A into your Aircraft folder.
That's it! I like to keep things simple so I use stock weapons and effects.

CREDITS
Thanks to TK for a great little game/sim.
Big thanks to Erwin_Hans, 101tfs and friends.
Big thanks also to Richard Pitts2A Ordway for the Mig-19 cockpit.
And special thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Version 1 - 01/06/18

To be used on SF2 S-2F Tracker by the Dev A-Team
You will get the following skins in this package :
Reworked :
CANA
New :
RCAF 1970    
RCAF 1980    
RCAF 1990

Installation:
Copy the current pack objects/aircraft folder in your game S-2F aircraft folder.
Copy the current pack objects/decals folder in your game S-2F decals folder.
Copy the S-2F.ini and S-2F_DATA.ini to the game S-2F aircraft folder.
On the original skin (reworked one), i only did minor corrections so all credits goes to the original persons.
For the reworked one's, all done by me.
RCAF serials and plane numbers are real one's and changes have been made to them to reflect the S-2F to CP-121 modex when change occured.
Note on RCAF skins:
I did not do the 2 other ''first scheme'' and the alternate 1980 one as i did not find it relevant and they were short lived too.
Credits:
Thanks to Thirdwire for creating the Strike Fighters series.
Thanks to those involved in the original aircraft.
Me for the redraw of the panel lines and paint work + new skins :).
Happy flights!

This is a tutorial which I made long time ago for a friend who had installed SF2 
and wanted to play multiple campaigns. Since he didn't know how to create mod 
folders he requested some help and that's the reason I made it. There's a related 
post at SF2 Knowledge Base which can be found here:
https://combatace.com/forums/topic/62302-what-is-the-mod-folder/
However this tutorial is far more instructive since it was made for people who are 
unaware of how to install mods. I decided to upload it since it might be useful
for begginers.

SF2 Upgrade Pack For Soviet Transports,Airliners and AWAC Aircraft by Veltro2K        5/23/2018
= For SF2, Any/All (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED!) =
This is a remod pack for Veltro2k's Soviet/WarPac Transport, Airliner and AWAC aircraft. This package =ONLY= contains the data inis for the aircraft listed below. You will still need to locate the original aircraft.
It is highly suggested (read: REQUIRED) that you have SF2NA as part of your merged installs, as several of these reference the stock 3W Tu-95 Bear destroyed model. Some reference the stock 3W An-12 destroyed model as well. 
All New Data Inis Included in the pack are for:
A-50 Mainstay (AWAC)
An-22 Cock
IL-38 May (ASW/Martime Patrol)
IL-76 Candid
IL-78 Midas
Tu-95A Bear-A
Tu-95MS Bear-H
Tu-104 Camel (Aeroflot Airliner
Tu-144 Cleat (Aeroflot Airliner)
Tu-126 Moss (AWAC)
All aircraft have had their data inis reworked to correct, add, move or generally "fix" all the hit boxes, relocate components (ie: fuel tanks, as best as possible inside the airframe) and in general clean up many things that simply escaped notice. The exception here is the Tu-104, which get a partly repainted skin, with all new 100% accurate civil registration number decals (18), and an avionics upgrade (GM radar).
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions.
Happy Landings!

Soviet NAVY AEW&C Yakovlev Yak-44 [DRLOiU-Dalnee RadioLokatsionnoe Obnarujenie i Upravlenie]
Histiry
Yak-44 - Deck aircraft of radar surveillance, guidance and control (RPLNU / DRLOiU) and electronic countermeasures (EW).

Developed by OKB im. AS Yakovlev in the mid-70's. The prototype of the Yak-44 (Yak-44RLD) aircraft was the American E-2 "hawk of the eye". The basing of the aircraft was supposed on the atomic aircraft carrier of project 1143.7 "Ulyanovsk".

Because of the difficulties in developing on-board equipment, only the Yak-44 model was built.
In 1993, the work was frozen due to lack of funding.

SF2 Post-War French Navy Seafire Mk.IIIC Pack          8/15/2017
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
=*UPDATED 5/28/2018*=
The package contains the Seafire Mk.IIIC used by 1 Flotille of the Aéronautique Navale of the French Navy, aboard PA Aeromanches in Indochina in the late 1940s.
All markings are decals and Decal Randomization is TRUE. Damage textures are in DDS format. Serial numbers, while correct for the aircraft should be conisdered "generic" in nature, not representing those that actually served with the AeroNavale.
The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0. Wingfold is operated also with the SAK, Shift/9.  Guns also grouped, MGs in Group 1, the cannon in Group 2.
Pilot figure, engine sound, and a 'new' drop tank are included. Guns and bombs are not included, as these are the standard WW2 British types, available in many weapons packs.
When in game, you'll see:
Seafire Mk.IIIC FN (CAF)
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate =THIS= Seafire from any others you may (or may not) have.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. 
Good Hunting!

-for Cocas Aircraft Factory, Prop Works Division-
Updated:
Version 2-
all hit boxes adjusted
new components added or names corrected
armor values adjusted

For those not following the "Tips & Tweeks" Thread in the SF2 WW2 Forum, this is a package of data inis for the Bristol Beaufighter by Cocas Aircraft Factory
This package contains data inis with adjusted hitboxes and some armor upgrades, but a new flight model for ALL the ETO (northern European used) Bristol Beaufighters that Cocas and I did.
These are:
Mk.1 (early and late)
NF MK.1 (early and late)
Mk.1C (ITF)
Mk.VI (early)
Mk. VIC, Mk.VIC,  Mk.VIF (early and lates)
TFX (early and late -with and withOUT thimble nose)
the roll rate is still a little higher than as described, but it's improved over the original release
Instructions For Use:
Unzip, as always reccomended, to a temp folder or you desktop. Then, copy/paste the /Objects folder from the zip DIRECTLY over you /Objects folder in you WW2 ETO centric mods folder. Each of the above listed aircraft has, of course, their own folder within. Also provided is a backed up copy of the original data ini, for safety's sake.
At some point in time, the MTO and PTO theatre specific versions will be uploaded. Eventually, I'll be trying to update each individual aircraft's package. But there's a LOT of Beaus, and only so much time..
Enjoy!
