    1. This is correct 360-degree F-94B cockpit, to replace my earlier F-94C Starfire released in 2015 (as we lack Starfire model still...)
       
      unpack to your F-94B folder, overwrite when asked (you might want to delete replacement cockpit folder first if exists any)

    2. This pack contains flight crew figures designed to fit Veltro's WIP FW189, but they can be used for most any other German WW2 aircraft. There are two different pilot figures - a fighter pilot and a bomber pilot. There are also two gunner figures that - with some repositioning - 3D model guys can fit into aircraft they are working on.

    4. The first production model of the Crusader was the F8U-1,which was later redesignated the F-8A. It first flew on September 20, 1955, and 318 were built between 1956 and 1958. The initial order had been for 448 aircraft, but the last 130 were delivered as F8U-1Es (F-8Bs). The first thirty aircraft were fitted with the Pratt & Whitney J57-P-12 engine, but this was replaced with the more powerful -4 version and in all subsequent F-8As. The original thirty were then retrofitted with the -4 as well. This made the F-8A a Mach 1.5 aircraft. Other improvements added during the production run included the addition of a retractable in-flight refueling probe in a blister on the forward left side of the fuselage. This was begun with the fiftieth production aircraft, and retrofitted to the earlier airframes. The original Vought ejection seat was replaced with the Martin Baker F5 seat.
       
      The F-8A was armed with four 20mm canon, thirty-two 2.75-inch rockets in a drawer in the lower fuselage, and two Sidewinder missiles could be carried on fuselage stations. The AN/APG-30 gunsight radar and fire control system was installed for weapons delivery. The first aircraft was accepted for service in December 1956, just four years and three months after the issue of the original requirement by the Navy. It was delivered to VF-32 in March, 1957, with VMF-122 being the first Marine squadron to receive the Crusader. The first carrier deployment was with VF-32 on board the USS Saratoga, (CVA-60).
       
      After being replaced with later versions of the Crusader, the F-8As were relegated to training roles, serving as advanced single-seat trainers. The designation TF-8A was often applied to these aircraft.
       
      Your F-8A has early markings for either VA-32 or VF-122. The rocket armament IS INCLUDED but you will not see the drawer open and close.
       
      This mod has been extensively tested in SF2V.
      A read-me file with installation steps and CREDITS included.

    5. BAC Lightning F.1C for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 EP2
       
      This is a very simple mod of the Third Wire Lightning F.2A to give a fictional Lightning F.1C in an all black scheme.
       
      Please note that this mod requires you to have the excellent Strike Fighters 2 Expansion Pack 2.
       

      BACKSTORY
       
      Along with the upgrade of the Lightning F.2's of RAF Germany the earlier Lightning F.1A's and F.1B's were upgraded to a similar standard emerging as the Lightning F.1C. Entering service with No.56 Squadron in 1968 the final squadron to operate the type was No.111 whose aircraft wore this black retirement scheme during 1977.
       

      INSTRUCTIONS
       
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Lightning1C folder into your Aircraft folder.
       
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Lightning1C folder into your Decals folder.

    7. Sea Harrier FRS.2 Aim-120 AMRAAM fuselage station update/ correction.
       
      This is an update to the Sea Harrier FRS.2 for SF2 V1.1 that replaces and corrects the fuselage Aim-120 weapon pylons and positioning.
       
      Simply place in your mods folder and OVERRIDE when prompted.
       
      Notes:
       
      The pylon is set up as a weapons station the same before but it is used 4 times instead of 2 to get the right length.
       
      You must have the Sea Harrier FRS.2 for SF2 V1.1

    8. SF2 FJ-3 Fury USN Skin Pack 2/19/2016
       
      = For SF2, Any & All (Full-5 Merged Reccomended) =
       
      This package contains 2 new Us Navy skins for the FJ-3/3M Fury.
       
      This package contains skins for the following squadrons:
       
      VF-91 "Red Lightnings" (USS Ticonderoga, WesPac, 1957/58 "NG" code)
      VF-173 "Jesters" * (USS Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1956/57 "R" code)
       
      (* note: VF-73 also was called Jesters, in approximately the same time frame!)
      Also, for VF-173, I've suppled tail and wing code letters (AD) for it's deployment aboard USS Randolph (6th Fleet); although the profiles (in the skin folder) MAY be in error, as the time frame overlaps that of the deployment about the Rosie.
       
      Almost all markings are decals, with the exception of some special squardron markings and color "zaps". The skins are in jpg format. Decal randomization is TRUE.
       
      As always the standard, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them!
       
      Happy Landings!
