    2. Supermarine Siskin F.1 for SF1 Wings Over Israel
      This is a simple mod of the excellent Third Wire Dassault Mystère IV to give a 'what if' Supermarine Siskin F.1 with markings for No.43, No.56 and No.63 squadrons of the Royal Air Force's Fighter Command during the mid-late 1950's era.
      It is essential that you have Wings Over Israel as this is the only 'Series One' game to have the Mystère IV LOD's.
       
      BACKSTORY
      The early-1950's was a difficult time for RAF Fighter Command. The obscolescent Meteor F.8 formed the mainstay of Fighter Command but it could barely catch the RAF's Canberra jet bombers and would have been hopelessly outclassed by MiG-15's if the Cold War had turned hot. But just at the time that Fighter Command should have been looking forward to receiving the modern swept-wing Hawker Hunter and Supermarine Swift fighters both programmes hit severe technical problems. especially the doomed Swift. Even before the decision to cancel the Swift fighter programme (taken in February 1955) the Air Ministry were looking for an 'off the shelf' purchase of an interim 'stop-gap' type and although the North American F-86 Sabre was procured in substantial numbers the desperately poor balance of payments situation with the US prevented further purchases.
      Dassault had previously offered the Mystère IIC to the UK Government and had been turned down. But in November 1952 an RAF evaluation team were sent to Istres to evaluate the Mystère IV and submitted an enthusiastic report to the Air Ministry who decided to place an order for 200 Mystère IV's to be licence-built by Supermarine Aviation with Rolls Royce Tay engines. Entering service in March 1955 as the Siskin F.1 this fine aircraft was used by RAF Fighter Command until the early 1960's with the subsequent Siskin FGA.2 fighter-bomber serving in RAF Far East Air Force until 1970.

      INSTRUCTIONS

    3. ********************************
      *** TopGun Campaigns Version 1.0
      ********************************
      This mod includes three TopGun campaigns for the following years:
      1970, 1974, and 1978.
      - 1970: F-4B & F-4J vs. A-4E Super Echo
      - 1974: F-4J & F-4N vs. A-4E Super Echo
      - 1978: F-14A vs. A-4F Mongoose
      Read the README.
      This is based off of Dave's (USAFMTL) original TopGun campaign from
      2003.
      This is for a flight/air combat simulation. SF2 is not a simulation
      for simulated air combat.  So this was made as best I could, within
      the limits of the game.
      Primary goal: make it through the 20 missions alive, keep as many
      of your wingman alive as possible, down as many A-4's as possible.
      ********************************
      *** Requirements
      ********************************
      Minimum:
      - SF2 or SF2 Vietnam, patched to July 2013

    4. This package presents the Su-30M2, MK2, MKK modifications produced on KnAAZ Avia Plant.
      Su-30 are produced at two different factories. Aircraft are distinguished by avionics, seams, camouflage and appearance. On "IRKUT" (Irkutsk Aviation Plant) they rebuild old Su-27 UB\PU to Su-30KN and KM (both without canards) and build new Su-30SM with canards. In this pack there are Su-30s produced at KnAAZ aircraft plant based in Komsomolsk on Amur  (all without canards).
       
      This is the conversion of the old SF1 model in SF2 + new skins
       
      ============
      Installation:
      Extract file "Su-30_by_KnAAZ_Avia_Plant_(Part_II).7z" at any temp directory you want.
      Move the files to the appropriate locations in your mod folder as usual.
      DO NOT FORGET about the DECALS folder! It is very important! There are some fixes for the UV grid of the original model. Without it some part of camouflages be distorted cuz of model's UV issue.

    5. This is the conversion of the old SF1 model in SF2 + new skins
      Original files is here
      https://combatace.com/files/file/14306-su-30mk2-for-sf1-woe/
      This package presents the Su-30 Soviet times and the Su-30 MK (Modified Commercial) modern by Irkut Avia Plant .
      ============
      Installation:
      IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED THIS MY PACK BEFORE version 1.0.0 : Delete "Su-30" and "SU-30MK" folders at "Objects\Aircraft\" in your mod folder.
      Extract file "SF2_Su-30_Irkut_ST_v1.0.1.7z" at any directory
      Move the files to the appropriate locations in your mod folder as usual.
      if you like, unpack "Additional_Skins_(these_skins_moved_to_SU-30MK2_KnAAZ_Pack).7z" and move skins to just installed Su-30 aircraft, but you need'nt to do it if you want to use my Su-30 Part II by KnAAZ air Plant. I moved these skins to that pack.  It is easier for me to update packs separately. In real Su-30 are produced at two different factories, on "IRKUT" (Irkutsk Aviation Plant) they rebuild old Su-27 UB\PU to Su-30KN and KM (both without canards) and build new Su-30SM with canards. I do not do skins for SM modifications, cuz i see that decision with "fake pilot canards" is not elegant, and i have no 3Ds MAX to do something by myself. In this pack there are skins only for KN and KM modifications (without canards) . Second Plant is KnAAZ ( based in Komsomolsk on Amur) produses all other modifications (all without canards) for export.
      It is better to overwrite weapons folder. I 've made some small changes (fixed the years of using) in inies in some of them.
      ============
      I tried to make the skins as accurate as possible. But some details missed because of the limitations of the model. i cant find the way to do "no step" dashes on Ukrainian skin, it places wrong way, some decals can't de placed right etc. If you want to correct this, do not stop yourself. If you like my files, fix, redraw, repack, share, do what you need.
      NEW SKINS:
      Russian after 2004
      Russian Gray Fully - overhauled Su-27UB to Su-30 standards
      Soviet Early

    7. This is another rework of the available A-1H  Skyraider skins, this time for USMC A-1's same details as the previous upload for the USN versions. 3 of which are generic USMC airframes, the bu numbers etc are also generic as not many A1's were in use with the Marines in Vietnam as most of the squadrons had re equipped with A4's by then.
       
      included are 
      VMA 212 generic
      VMA 225
      VMA 251 generic
      VMA 331
      VMA 333
      the reworked data.ini to stop the clipping issue
      Decals
      All the Sounds needed
      weapons 
      Pilot ( a different one from the USN one )
      lo res screens if you need them
      as with the previous skins I have re-enabled the wingfold system,and the canopy so the usual shift-9 for the wings and shift-0 for the canopy
       
      Enjoy, fly safe, and give 'em hell.

    8. Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat, VF-41 'Operation Torch' Skin & Ini Pak
       
      for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE WW2: MTO Installs
       
      =Version 2.0 - will update and REPLACE the original from 2005=
       
      This package contains a new skin, and some minor data & cockpit ini mods for Pasko's F4F-4 "Wildcat". It is designed to TOTALLY replace the VF-41 version released several years ago.
       
      The skin represents VF-41 "Red Rippers" based aboard USS RANGER during Operation Torch, the Invasion of North Africa (well, actually, we all know it was Morocco and Tunisia, but why quibble???)
       
      This new skin, like the other Wildcat skins I've done recently, is from my home-grown template, with all redrawn panel, rivet and other details. It has been resized to 1024x, so has a bit more detail than the older 512 version. All new decals, of the correct font and size have been created for the Modex and BuNums. The BuNums ARE for -4 Wildcats, but I was unable to acertain WHICH exact numbers were used by VF-41 during Torch. So, consider them as 'generic'; accurate, but generic <grin>
       
      For those that haven't updated their MTO install's F4F-4, all the inis and sounds from the PTO Wildcat Upgrade are included; new data, cockpit and Main ini --so make sure you follow the instructions below!!!
      The cockpit ini makes use of a new WW2 N-3 gunsight tga.
      Like it's PTO brother, the canopy has been switched to an animation key (shift/0). The wingfold stays the same as originally issued; you use the bomb-bay control key (cntrl/O). As always, all the lights have been updated with accurate running, formation and landing lights. Also, the landing gear retraction sound is now the 'rachet' noise, as heard in the PTO upgrades.
      A new WoE-style 'carrier deck' hangar screen, JUST for this mod is included (as it uses the VF41 skin)
       
      As always, it's reccomended you unzip this package to a temp folder or your desktop, or somewhere's else that's easy to find to gain access to the rest of this readme for full, detailed install instructions.
       
      Good Hunting!
