    1. A collection of original menu images for my personal RUS-UKR campaign pack, I think they look good so share them with you guys.
      Usage:
      Copy all the folders into your SF2 main folder

    2. Small package of cockpit improvements for Su-7/17
      -------
      Su-7: cockpit by Stary - fixed misspelling and typos on labels, converted files to reduce size, fixed flaps/airbrake indicators, pilot's POV - nothing too drastic
      --------------
      Su-17 - original cockpit for Su-17 looks old (judging by the files, it was made in 2003), here possible replacements:
      First gen Su-17s (Su-17, Su-17M (Su-20), Su-17M1 (Su-22)) get aforementioned Su-7 pit. It fits fine considering the time period.
      Second gen Su-17s (Su-17M3 (Su-22M, Su-22M3), Su-17M4 (Su-22M4)) get pit from Su-25. While not a fully accurate replacement, pits of those two jets do share a lot of similarities.
      Su-25K pit adapted for Su-17:
      - changed airspeed and Mach indicators
      - correct weapon stations indicators
      Also fixed a couple of other problems: 
      - original fuel indicator doesn't work - missing nodes; adapted former second engine exhaust temp indicator to show fuel quantity - it is in the lower right corner 
      - altimeter missing hand for thousands (Soviet altimeters have two hands - one for hundreds, other for thousands) - just changed the single hand to show both with adapted altimeter texture 
      -----------
      Installation: remove old cockpit folder, cockpit_ and avionics_ files; drop in new files. new cockpit_ and avionics_ inis should be renamed accordingly to work properly 
      ----------
      Su-25K cockpit is taken from here:

    3. Mirage F1EH (1979-1985)
      In December 1975, Morocco ordered 25 Mirage F1CH interceptors. In March 1977, an additional contract was signed, stipulating the delivery of five additional Mirage F1CHs, as well as 20 Mirage F1EHs (including six aircraft equipped with in-flight refuelling probes).
      F1EH_Early specifics:
      R550, R530, AIM9-B/J/P CLB4 under fuselage, AUF2 underwings - no CLB8 Radio-altimeter Seat Mk6 Inertial Navigation System Sagem UNI43 RWR BF No AAR probe COR2 pod capability Covered unit :
      Escadron ATLAS
      This addon is and will in all cases remain freeware.
      Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms.

    4. TMF Boeing 707-300 Comprehensive Skinpack
      This mod will replace the individual skins for the TMF 707 and adds my multi airline skins to it, covering the eras from the early 1960s until the late 1980s and will add some eye candy to your parking ramps or make for interesting intercept and escort targets
          INSTALLATION
      This is only a skin pack with some additional items. First you will need the original located here:
      then unzip and add this mod as well. allow overwrites.
      You can delete the previous skins if you want, as they are represented in the skin pack
      IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN NATIONS.INI, ADD FROM THE GIVEN TEXT FILE. This is for heavily modded installs
          INCLUDED
      Decal sets covering most major users from 1959 until 1989
      Skins to cover that time period in 9 blocks, with bare metal base skins
      Nations and Formations ini for the "Airline" nation
          KNOWN ISSUES
      Number 1:  THIS THING IS BIG! the fuselage tgas are 2048x2048 (working with details over an entire fuselage rather than basic colors
      and curves) and the biggest sets are representing 32 airlines in their era! So this is not for the small of HDD space
      Number 2: Due to quirks in the model, and ease for the modder it is not 100% aligned as in RL. the cabin windows are a little lower (which
      allowed the logos to go one easier), and the curves tend to stop short of the radome.
      Number 3: this uses the Herc pit to be flyable. I ad it to be able to check the decals, but leave it for those that may want to use it.
      The pit is a piss poor match however, both with frames blocking and the higher tech than available even into the 80s for civilian birds
      It is meant as eye candy, not operational missions.
      Number 4: due to the size of things, some of the lettering is not to legible when you get close to it. Again, eye candy, its meant to be seen
      from the runway when taking off or on an intercept. If your that close to see "hey it really is fuzzy" you will probably collide. Besides, the
      thing is huge as is at teh current tga size
          UNSOLICTED ADVICE
      I am one of those that likes all encompassing mods. If you have a certain era you would rather focus on, by all means delete the other eras
      that you don't need. Again this thing is huge, but covers almost every user from 1959 through 1989.

    7. Stealth SLUFs : A-7D in service with the 4450th Tactical Group
      This mod adds several new skins to showcase the stock ThirdWire A-7D as it appeared with the 4450th Tactical Group in the 1980s. The mod features their special version of the European 1 camo scheme as well as the SEA wraparound they appeared in for about the first year of operation.
      The 4450th Tactical Group was the first unit to operate the then ultra secret F-117A Nighthawk. In order to maintain a cover other than "Stealth Fighter", the group also operated around a dozen A-7Ds to develop "avionics for the A-7D". They flew the Corsair II from mid 1981 until 1989, after the F-117A program became public a few mnths prior.
                  REQUIREMENTS
