Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

2 new skins for the Skunkworks T-28A. You will find this aircraft in their Third Party section. Mexico was a major operator of the T-28A throughout the 1960-70s era. These 2 additional skins will compliment the 201st Squadron you get with the T-28A and complete the Mexican Air Force package. Just drop both files (205 and 207) into your T-28A folder and FIESTA amigo!!!

A skin for the Skunkworks T-28D COIN. You will find this aircraft in the their Third Party section. Based at Hulbert Field in Florida,the 1st SOW replaced the 4400th Combat Crew Training Group in Apr 1962. They assumed air commando operations and training responsibility for the U.S. Air Force. With the use of the T-28D, they instructed United States and South Vietnamese Air Force aircrews in unconventional warfare, counter-insurgency, psychological warfare, and civic actions throughout the Southeast Asian conflict.

and they add a little more "life" to your game. God bless. Jeff "pcpilot" Gerald

For the Skunkworks T-28A Trojan which can be found in their Third Party section. A major user of the T-28A was the country of Taiwan. The Republic of China Air Force Academy used the T-28A as a primary trainer throughout the 1960-70s era. Simply drop the file into your T-28A folder and ENJOY!

Another skin for the Skunkworks T-28B Trojan which can be found in thier Third Party section. The US Army operated a small number of Trojans for photographic work and other utility duties. This is 137702 (cn 200-65), an ex-US Navy T-28B bailed to the US Army when a chase plane for the AH-56 Cheyenne attack helicopter was needed. This aircraft is currently on display at the Air Force Flight Test Center Museum Airpark in California.

Another skin for the Skunkworks T-28D COIN. You will find this aircraft in the Third Party section. This is the 516th Fighter Squadron of the VNAF First Air Division. Based out of Nha Trang ,they operated the T-28D until replaced by the Skyraider around 1965.

MiG-17F_SilverGrey skin in new colors.

Mig-27M cockpit (SFP1 series) made by Ordway, Starfighter2, lindr2 based on color cockpit photos and cockpit diagrams.
 
Original cockpit made by Armourdave and Sal.
Avionics and optional advanced flight model by Nele.
 
You need avionics 70 and the latest patch updates from Thirdwire. Tested on Windows XP and not Vista. However it might work on Vista too.
 
This is the cockpit for the Soviet MIG-27M ground attack fighter which would probably have been one of the first attackers against NATO in a NATO versus Soviet block confrontation in the 1970s and 1980s. It is referenced from color photographs and original cockpit diagrams.
 
The BMP TV screen is just there for looks. The real TV screen will appear as usual, in the upper right hand corner when using many guided bombs/missiles. No one I knew could figure out how to make it work on the instrument panel in the correct area.

MiG-27M History:
 
The MiG 27, had superb low altitude, high speed capabilities and could out run many other fighters.
 
Concerns over the complexity (and unreliability) of the very advanced MiG-27K ground attack fighter led to the development of a simpler variant, the "MiG-27M". It retained much of the MiG-27K's electronics including a jammer, but featured a cheaper and less sophisticated nav-attack suite. The MiG-27M could carry all the "smart" munitions carried by the MiG-27K except for the KAB-500L LGB. The MiG-27M was externally very hard to tell from a MiG-27K.
 
Initial flight of the first MiG-27M, a converted MiG-27, was in April 1976, and the type went into production in 1978 in Siberia . 162 Soviet-built MiG-27Ms were delivered into 1982.
 
However, from 1982, the decision was made to upgrade most of the older MiG-27 fleet to MiG-27M standards and this of course evemntually added hugely to the over all total number of MiG-27Ms.
 
The MiG-27M was license-built by one user, the Indian Air Force (IAF) starting in the mid-1980s, with the first HAL machine, assembled from a kit performing its initial flight on 11 January 1986. A total of 165 HAL MiG-27Ms -- sometimes referred to with the designation of "MiG-27ML

***Marder Roland and Gepard AAA for SF2E, version 1.0 - by MiG Master***
 
Original vehicle and missile models, .inis, and skins by Gablion
Conversion to SF2 format, vehicle, gun, and missile .ini modifications, and Roland RWR symbol by MiG Master
 
 
-To install the vehicles and weapons, simply merge the Objects folder from the .rar file to your Mod Folder's Objects folder. The Rolands and Gepards will appear randomly on the battlefield. The Rolands are set to Mobile_AAA instead of Mobile_SAM because the game favors AAA over SAMs.
 
 
-To install the Roland RWR symbol, merge the Flight folder with your Mod Folder's Flight folder. To get the Roland RWR symbol to appear on your TEWS RWR-equipped aircraft, add the following line to each aircraft's <plane name>_RWR.LST file:
 
Roland=RWR_Roland
 
You should see an "RO" on your TEWS display. The Gepard's Super Fledermaus radar is also used with static Oerlikon AAA batteries, so I set it to use the stock ThirdWire AAA symbol ("A").
 
 
-The Gepard's Oerlikon cannon should install automatically. If not, I've included a backup "add in GUNDATA.INI" file that you can import into the game with the SF2 Gun Editor.
 
 
-The vehicle .ini edits include adding radar frequency information and converting the skins to ObjectData format. The Marder Roland's capacity has been increased to six missiles to simulate it being reloaded. The Roland missile .ini edits are meant to reflect the Roland II missile's stats and capabilities as it was used in the West German Army (within the limitations of the game). The Oerlikon cannon's edits are to try to simulate the cannon's warhead-less sabot ammunition (also within the limitations of the game).
 
 
-These have been tested and work with SF2E Dec.2009 patch, and SF2E with NATO Fighters 4+ Jun.2009b patch, including in the middle of an SF2E NF4+ campaign. I have not tested these in SF2/V/I- use at your own risk!
 
 
-If you want these for SFP1/WoX, Gablion's original Gepard and Marder Roland are available at the CombatAce website's download page.
 
 
-If you have any questions or concerns, you may reach me at the CombatAce forums.
 
 
-These mods are not for use in any payware.
