VMF-112, F4U-1D Corsair, USS Bennington 1945 Skin Pak
 
== For WW2 PTO SF2, Any and All ==
 
*Note: can be used in any PTO centric install, and probably will work in 1stGens as well*
 
A new skin for Wolf257's Corsair; to be used with my F4U-1D mod available here at CA at the following URL:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/1532-f4u-1d-corsair/
 
This represents F4U-1D Corsairs as flown frum USS Bennington in the later months of the war.
Decal randomization is set to TRUE (which won't work if used in 1stGen installs, but what the hey, right?)
Also included is a 90%-ish SF2 compliant FM in/on/part of the enclosed data ini*, a new 'main ini' (F4U-1D.ini), and an SF2 Userlist.ini (as USMC is considered a 'Seperate Nation' for Export Purposes ™). It's advised other USN/USMC Corsairs have the necessary lines added, year adjusted and use this new userlist.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop).
 
Happy Hunting!

In 1963 the South African Air Force (SAAF) procured six B(I) Mk.12 Canberra interdictors and three T. Mk.4’s from Britain.
Initially the Canberra was seen as an interim measure until the arrival of Hawker-Siddeley Buccaneers in 1965.
The SAAF used the B(I) Mk.12 as bombers and interdictors over a 27 year period.
The SAAF T.4 had Glass nose too alongside the solid nose ones.

SF2 F-22A USAF Raptors Redux 2016
by Viper63a
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
The default install of this mod pack requires SF2NA merged in your install. If you don't have SF2NA in your install base, you have to install the files in the "Non_SF2NA_Patch" folder for the avionics to function properly. See installation section for more details.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
This is my iteration/update of the F-22A Raptors originally released by the "Raptor Team". The lion's share of the work was done by the "Raptor Team" - so I DO NOT take credit for ANY of their wonderful work. What I did was upgrade the original package with various other packages released over the years (All noted in the credits). Other than that, I've recreated and tweaked the skins to my liking, added some new squadrons, and created all new decals for the planes. Comes complete with new Hangar, Loading and Loadout files as well. The original package can be downloaded with the following and/or the links in the Credits sections...
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
What's included in this mod pack?
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
Included in this package are the 7th, 14th, 22nd, 27th, 36th, 43rd, 80th, 90th, 94th, 95th, 199th, 411th, 422nd, 433rd, 493rd, and 525th USAF F-22 Squadrons. All squadrons have the complete compliment of tail numbers. Some F-22s were re-deployed from Virginia and Hawaii to Europe (Germany/England) and Asia (Korea) as a deterrence (preparation) force for the current tension in the regions.
 
Additional Skins for this pack is available here...

-------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
! As always, I recommend that you back up your mod folder before you install any new mod...just in case.
 
* To install, simply copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite as required.
 
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
 
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2...
 
* If you have a merged SF2NA installed, then you are done...If not, you have one more step...
 
Open the "\Optional\Non_SF2NA_Patch" folder and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite as required.
 
* Lastly, please read the "F-22A SoundList Add.txt" to install the sound files.
 
Now you are done...
 
Enjoy!
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
NOTE: The NON-JHMCS Pilot is the default in this pack. If you want to use the JHMCS Pilot, please update the [Pilot] section of the "F-22A_DATA.ini" file. Remove the "//" from the "PilotModelName=F22A_JHMCS" line and add "//" to the "PilotModelName=F22A_Pilot" line. And Save...

SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT
PilotModelName=F22A_Pilot

The "Optional" Folders contains some extra stuff like...
 
* Alternate 1024x and 1920x Hanger and Loading screens.
* Other tid-bits like the F-22A Template and other F-22 Mods I didn't get round to testing.

F-4E Phantom update for SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion Pack 2.0
 
 
 
 
 
2.0 Updates/ corrections
 
- Updated/ corrected F-4E 'Rivet Haste' skins and serial numbers.
- Early F-4E skin ejection warning triangles replaced with larger early versions.
 

This mod upgrades the stock Third Wire F-4E Phantoms with the F-4E and F-4E Hard-Wing & MIDAS4 from ravenclaw_007 and Co’s F-4E USAF pack as well as my F-4E_72 ‘Rivet Haste’ add-on for the F-4E USAF pack.
 
In order to make the two compatible I have changed the F-4E USAF pack Phantoms to mimic the folder and skin structure of the SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion Pack F-4E Phantoms. This means the F-4E Hard-Wing & MIDAS4 is actually in the F-4E_72 folder. This is historically accurate as the TW F-4E_72 is incorrect for the Vietnam conflict as the only slatted F-4E Phantoms in theater where the 555TFS flight of Rivet Haste Phantoms.
 
Only to be used with the SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion Pack.
 
 
 
Included:
 
- F-4E
- F-4E Hard-Wing & MIDAS4
- F-4E_72 ‘Rivet Haste’

Background on the Rivet Haste project:
 
With the soft (slatted) wing, the pinkie switch (basically the very first HOTAS), and the TISEO modifications for the F-4E, the USAF realized it had the tools to make its fighter pilots more lethal. In the late summer of 1972, the Rivet Haste program was established. Rivet Haste would be the Air Force's acknowledgement that years of substandard training and poor doctrine had to be reversed. Rivet Haste combined the slatted wing, TISEO, and 556 mod of the F-4E and teamed them up with handpicked crews with combat experience over Vietnam. They were assembled at Nellis AFB and here the key of Rivet Haste would take place- intensive training with the new F-4Es against the secret MiG force that Air Force flew out of Tonopah north of Las Vegas. Each Rivet Haste crew were paired up to stay together through training to deployment for combat- this allowed the pilot and his WSO to develop their own system of coordination in the cockpit and carry that to combat. Six pilots and six WSOs were in each Rivet Haste group and each pilot/WSO would fly at least three missions against the MiGs at Tonopah. Each month, a new group of six pilots and six WSOs were assigned to Rivet Haste. Crews assigned to Rivet Haste saw it as a quantum leap in air combat training that the USAF had never had before. Unfortunately they arrived in Vietnam to late to score any air-to air-kills and only flew a handful of Linebacker II missions before the end of the war.
