F-104I for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
 
This is a simple mod of the Third Wire Lockheed Starfighter F-104G to give a fictional F-104I 'Kohav' (Star) of the Israeli Air Force with markings for No.119 squadron - "The Bat Squadron". As this download relies on the stock Third Wire F-104G LODs then you must have SF2:Europe where TK has thoughfully left them for us.
 

INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-104I folder into your Aircraft folder.
 
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-104I folder into your main Decals folder.
 

SKINS/MARKINGS
 
I wanted to capture the look of the early Mirage IIIC's in Israeli service and saw a photograph of a No.119 squadron machine with red/white rudder stripes and a red fin marking and decided to copy that. As there are no hi-res squadron patch images for No.119 squadron I designed by own, I hope you like it!

BELL AH-1J SEA COBRA Over the Seven Seas Ver 2.0 for SF2
April 2016
 
This is a third party add on of the AH-1J Sea Cobra using models and cockpits created by me.
The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
I have just modified it a bit.
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.

WARNING!
 
This is totaly new file. I highly recomend to backup your old files. OR just delete all old files. Even weapon folders. It is updated here.
This is totaly new files and will not work in many parts with old.
 

Also new cockpits included for both 69 and 80 versions.
 
This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
 
Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
 
AIRBRAKES - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
 
ARRESTING HOOK - deploy arresting hook to land on aircraft carrier.
 
LANDING GEAR - belly light deploy/retract at any speed. Don't forget to fold before shooting.
 
A2A mode - gunner station guncross for turret.
 
A2Ground mode - pilot M60 gunsight cross.
 
ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
 
ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
 
ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
 
ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
 

For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
 
When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
 
There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
 
To take off from ship.
Increase throttle realase brake.
Or.
Incrase throttle around 75% of throttle vector controll and then realase brake.
Landing on ship.
Aproach. Reduce speed using throttle vector controll. Realase hook. Slowly aproach matching speed with vessel and reducing altitude to deck height. Hit deck. Needs practice but it is easy.
 
Catapult on deck are set 10cm higher than regular deck level. So aircraft is 'hovering' 10cm above deck. It must be this way since these vesseles are not supportin aircraft carrier operations. It is just fooling game engine.
 
All serial numbers are historicaly correct and based on available documents.
 

I divided models into three sub packs. Weapons,guns,sounds are common to every part.
Models 69 and 80 in diferent packs are still same model it is made this way for specific game mod.
 
Vietnam pack 69 model.
HML-367 'Scareface' Marble Mountain 1971
HMA-369 'Marhukers' Operation MARHUK USS Cleveland, USS Denver
 
Desert Storm pack 80 model
HMA-773 'Sea Cobras' USS New Orleans 1991
HMA-775 'Coyotes' Camp Smith, Saudi Arabia 1991
 

Wings Over Europe/North Atlantic/Mediterranean Sea and anywhere.
69 model:
HMM-263© Det.HMA-269 USS Guadalcanal 1975
HMM-162© Det.HMA-269 USS Guadalcanal 1976 (I am not sure if BuNos and modex are 100% correct here)
HMH-362© Det.HMA-269 USS Guadalcanal 1976
HMM-262© Det.HMA-169 USS Tarawa 1979 (I am not sure if BuNos and modex are 100% correct here)
 
80 model"
semi fictional skins (serial numbers are correct for J mode but not sure all of them apeard in HMA -169
HMA-169 'World Famous Vipers' Two skins early green and mid-late 80s tri color version.
This unit used AH-1J until 1986. This skin is based on photos but serial numbers are not 100% correct. Those are real SeaCObra numbers but fictional for this unit. However numbers started with 159 were present in this unit.
 

Optional files:
Two navy ships LHA and LPD class. Converted to USMC service. So in single mission, player flight will start from ship. (Water map needed)
Both with landing deck.
Experimental lights on deck of LPD class ship. Credits to Fubar for his carrier lights pack.
 
Weapons included.
 
One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
 
During late 70 Marines tested scoop exhaust like US Army on G model. There are just a few photos with this mod.
Here in game it will apear for a while in 1976-1978. It doesn't do anything. Since there is no IR suppresion in game. It is just for look and fun factor.
 
In 80's model there is ALQ-144 IR Jammer. Since ther is no IR Jamming in game it is just very weak jammer. you can turn it on but don't count on jamming.
 
Pilots:
I am using usnpilots by OldDiego. Not included.
SOme pilots models might be too big for this helo.
 

Instalation:
 
Copy all files into specific folders.
 
Sounds:
For M197gatling sound copy the lines from SOUNDLIST ADDON to your soundlist ini file.
 
Squadrons:
Add specific entrys form Squadronlist addon to your squadron list.
 

Enjoy.
Edit your way.

SF2 Vought TF-8 Crusader Pack 4/8/2016
 
= For SF2 (Full-4/5 Merged Reccomended) =
 
*Note: you =MUST= have, as stated above have, at minimum, a Full-4 merged install, as this mod makes use of many items, from several versions of the games. A Full 5 with NA is reccomended. There are many "bits" required, most notably the cockpit referenced is from the A-7E Corsair II.*
 
This package contains a (somwhat) fictional outgrowth of the Vought F-8 Crusader. In the Real World ™, only ONE TF-8 Crusader was built (it's on display in the Naval Aviation Museum at Pensocla, FL). This assumes that Vought and the Navy chose to expand the production/refurbishment of early model Crusaders into the 2 seat variant seen here. The aircraft has expanded capabilites in both Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground mission tasking (see Notes for more details on the factory modifications, and squadron decals used.)
 
This package contains the following skin sets:
 
USN, early (Gull Grey/White
USMC, early (Gull Grey/White
USN, Late (TPS low visibility grey)
French Navy, early (Gull Grey/White)
French Navy, late (Overall Blue) - both tagged for Flotille 12
 
The SF2 "date switch" is used for the USN and French Skins. The USMC skin stays in Grey/white for it's service life. All skins are in jpg format. Damage textures are in DDS format.
All markings are decals, and with few exceptions, reference stock 3W Modex and Squadron tail markings. Decal randomization for all skins is TRUE. All weapons used are also stock items (note: the WalleyeIIIER -may- be an SF2NA only weapon; this has not been confirmed)
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Indeed, one would be well served by reading all the Notes section as well.
 
Happy Landings!

MARTINSYDE G102 (D)
 
History
 
Whilst the Great War was raging in Europe, the Balkans, and Mesopotamia, Countries not involved in the conflict, started breaking away from the powers that had previously held dominion over their countries, One of these countries was part of the joint occupation by Britain and France since the days of Napoleon, the area of Sharnak in the Middle East. in 1917 , whilst the French and British were other wise occupied, the populace rose up, and wrested power from the foreign administration, in a bloodless coup, as the French and British were heavily occupied with more pressing concerns, this was mostly ignored.
A government was duly and hastily formed, drawing members from the 2 main tribes of Sharnak. unfortunately, these 2 tribes of mainly nomadic people, were usually more interested in murdering each other, than actually getting along and running the new Nation state, in late 1918, a skirmish brewed up, over the rights to a sand dune mine in central Sharnak ( Sand being the main industry of the country, and as the war was going on sand for sandbags was in great demand, and Sharnak sand was the best sand bag sand in the world) The unrest turned into full scale and very bloody civil war, with the East of the country seceding and claiming sovereignty for the Eastern half of the country. The new country, named themselves Paran, and was ruled by a single and powerful clan of fierce Bedouin. the west of the country then named themselves Dhimar, and was a kingdom as the Shah was in that side and was loved by his people. and a kingdom was kept as the political rulers of the country.
 
The civil war continued sparodically for 18 months, during which time, both sides had managed to procure aircraft form various sources, There was a core of seasoned pilots, who had learned to fly whilst flying for the British, French, Russians and the Turks..
 
The Dhimari Army was in dire need of a ground attack and reconnaissance aircraft, much mooting, pondering, and attempts to buy either DH9's or Bristol Fighters from the British, were met with derision, from the British Air Ministry ( also probable annoyance over the coup ! ) So as these excellent aircraft were not available for purchase, they acquired the next best thing........or not, they managed to procure some clapped out Martinsydes which were war weary and rather tatty ( to say the very least ) however, with much time and sterling effort, they restored and refurbished the aircraft to a flying, and operational standard. the Aircraft though outdated, and very slow, dis have some very big teeth, it could carry a very healthy bomb load, was fitted with cameras, and was well armed (One fixed Lewis, and one on a mount behind the cockpit ) although the pilots found the workload to be rather high, as the aircraft was so slow and ponderous, operating 2 different gun groups, the bombs and the cameras all together required the dexterity of a 4 armed sword juggler. However, the aeroplane performed its duties with great fortitude, was reliable, and tough. one of the first true multi role aircraft on the battlefield !
 
INSTALLATION
 
all files are included in the download, decals, guns weapons are all there, also the updated Nations.ini, and SquadronList.ini to allow the aircraft to show up, this aircraft has been converted from First Eagles , so the guns are new, and will not be in any SF2 weapons packs , so make sure you do install these guns, or else you wont be able to shoot anything !! I have also included a sound file for the Lewis gun as that needs to be installed to give the guns the correct sounds, all other sounds are also included for engines etc. I strongly advise you update your soundlist.ini with new entries ( if you are unsure how to do this, take a quick look at the forums, and there are detailed instructions for this there ) Other than that, just treat this aircraft as you would any other upload to SF2 .
The aircraft has a very nice bomb load ,but be aware, your wingman and or flight mates may use these at very random intervals, if they use them at all !! BE WARNED !! . The AI does seem to sometimes have a wobbler, and do its own thing, just ignore it, and get on with flying, and rack up some kills. I recommend letting the AI fly this aircraft as you will find your wingman bobbing about all over the sky quite annoying, also the thing is no fighter !! so prepare to be killed....lots.....and repeatedly.....over and over.......many many times.......no, really, trust me !! hahahaha

Originally the R.D.N.A.S. was looking into the purchase of the Hanriot HD2 as a naval fighter, but the Head of the Marine Aviation division was a firm Francophile, and vetoed the purchase of Hanriots, instead, purchasing a number of N27's from the French , Why this was allowed is not clear, as the N27 wasn't by any means an outstanding aircraft, however it was light and nimble, and with the Vickers/Lewis gun armament, quite effective as an interceptor, however in combad against the Parani DVII's it fared rather badly, but it also gave out punishment , particularly against the AEG's of Parani Forward Aviation.

Initially the R.D.A.F. purchased this aircraft as an advanced trainer, but due to operational needs it was pressed into front line service in no 2 Squadron R.D.A.F. ( RAVENS ) and although not a very fast aeroplane, it was a joy to fly, and soon became a firm favourite of Dhimari pilots. very nimble, and manouverable, with a good punch from the twin Vickers, many a Dhimari ace was born , flying this delightful little aircraft. powered by the uprated Clerget 9bf rotary it gave many years of sterling and trouble free service. when the venerable aircraft was retired from service in 1930, one was even retained by the Shah of Dihmar for his own personal aircraft.
