What if Mod : AIM-97A Seekbat for SF2
v1.0.0

1) History
    Studied by General Dynamics, the Seekbat tested under the designation XAIM-97 was a USAF 
    attempt to field a long range AAM for intercepting the Foxbat.
    This 590 kg air-to- air weapon was a SAHM. Its speed was Mach 3+ and its range was 90 km.
    The Seekbat was another Standard missile derivate...

2) Installation
    This AAM uses the AGM-78 LOD file from Strike Fighters 2.
    I have repainted the tile and created the needed files with the TW Weapon Editor.

    Put the "Objects" folder to your SF2 Directory

    In order to fire it you could fly the Thirdwire F-15A and you need edit the data.ini of the plane 
    and add "SAHM" entry to this file :
        // Weapon Stations --------------------------
        [LeftWingStation]
        SystemType=WEAPON_STATION
        StationID=1
        StationGroupID=2
        ...
        ...
        ...
        AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,LGB,EOGB,MER,FT,SAHM
        AttachmentType=NATO,USAF
        ...
        ...
        ...
        FuelTankName=Tank610_F15
        FuelTankNodeName=droptank_wing_L
        [RightWingStation]
        SystemType=WEAPON_STATION
        StationID=2
        StationGroupID=2
        ...
        ...
        ...
        AllowedWeaponClass=BOMB,LGB,EOGB,MER,FT,SAHM
        AttachmentType=NATO,USAF
        ...
        ...
        ...
        FuelTankName=Tank610_F15
        FuelTankNodeName=droptank_wing_R

3) What if story 
    1980 over Europe : the AIM-97A Seekbat is in operational service !

    
Its your turn now !

Kesselbrut & russouk2004 Me 109 cockpit textures pack for Strike Fighters 2 (WW2 modded games). 
I finished a pack for Kesselbrut & russouk2004 Me 109 cockpit, with new textures and new painting approach. 
I worked in one edition that russouk2004 did in this cockpit to represent a Me 109 "Jabo" versions with the "ZSK 244 A-2/Zünderschaltkasten" (ignition switch box for bombs). This is a switch box, more realistic for 109E/F/G/K versions, but you of course, are free to use wherever you wish.
The size of some instruments was slightly increased and TGA figures as well, for a better view of them. The cockpit 3D LODs are setted to use jpg files. 
I'm including also, 5 optional textures for the pilot's legs (Ger_legs). You will find it in the folder (OPTIONAL LEGS).
To use one of them just rename the file at your choice to ----> Ger_legs. 
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Installation instructions Strike Fighters 2:
First make a back-up or rename your "original cockpit folder". This is just in case you wish return with your former cockpit later. Then just drop or copy my folder "cockpit" in your Bf 109 aircraft folder of your choice.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
*OPTIONAL*
I slightly modded my MinPitchFront & my GunsightMilSize for a better cockpit and Gunsight views (see the screenshots).
If you wish to use my MinPitchFront & GunsightMilSize edition ini, Open your Bf-109 cockpit data.ini and make these following editions:
[GunsightFront]
GunsightMilSize=125  <----------------- you must to add this valor.

[CockpitSeat001]
MinPitchFront=-57    <----------------- you must to add this valor.
This is not mandatory. All cockpit files will work normally without this edition as well
That's all.

Kesselbrut Me 109 cockpit textures pack for Strike Fighters 2 (WW2 modded games). 
I finished a pack for Kesselbrut's Me 109 cockpit, with new textures and new painting approach. 
Releasing, optional textures for early Me 109 cockpit. The first Me 109s (B/C/D and early Es versions) had their interiors painted with the RLM 63 (grüngrau) which was later replaced by the RLM 66 (schwarzgrau). This option could be, very useful for the Me 109 made by Monty CZ.

(TMF) E-3D SENTRY AEW.1 MOD by PeacePuma 
Production aircraft for the RAF according to E-3C standard with CFM56 engines and British modifications designated Sentry AEW.1, there were 7 aircraft built. Modifications included the addition of a refueling probe alongside the existing boom AAR receptacle, CFM-56 engines, wingtip ESM pods, an improved maritime surveillance capability (MSC) offering marine scan processing (MSSP), JTIDS and Havequick 2 radios. 
The last 2 E-3D Sentry AEW.1 were recently transferred from the RAF to the Chilean Air Force where they will continue to serve as the only platform of its kind in Latin America.
This mod recreates the latest liveries of the 8 sqn RAF and Group 10 of the FACH

Donbass Beta 0.40
*****************************************************
Southern Ukraine and Crimean Peninsula Terrain

THIS IS STILL  A BETA VERSION!!!!
============================
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This terrain is written for SF2E. It works well with SF2NA.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I. Short description:
The south and the east of the Ukraine are battlegrounds in mid 2022. At the moment nobody knows how the war will end.
This terrain covers the most parts of the Ukraine and some parts of the Russian Federation. But only the southern war theater and the crimean peninsula are included in this terrain so far. Airfields and some other target areas are placed on the map. Further improvements will come.
I made the airfields in their shape as realistic as possible. Only 3 airfields are more or less freestyle.
At the moment the terrain is made for scenarios around the Crimean peninsula. Offensive operations are more focused for the ukrainian side. In ukrainian strike missions you can fly against airfields, factories, depots, Sewastopol harbour and support facilities and a dense SAM network.
For the russian side you can only fly against enemy airfields.
At the moment possible mission types are:  Sweep, CAP, Escort, Intercept, Recon, Strike and SEAD missions.
The terrain is set as NavalMap=FALSE, but it is prepared for NavalMap=TRUE. If you use SF2NA as basic game you may change the setting, so that carrier vs carrier operations will be possible.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
II. INSTALLATION:
To run this terrain you need SF2NorthAtlantic or SF2 Israel or SF2 Europe.

Unzip all files into your saved game folder ...ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2XXXX

Thats it.

If you have SF2Europe installed you must do nothing more.
If you miss SF2E and have SF2Israel you must open file
Donbass.ini
with Notepad editor and look for the lines:
//CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
change the entry into:
CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
//CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat

save the file

The S-300 PT is a long-range surface-to-air missile systems produced by NPO Almaz. The S-300 PT is intended to defeat current and future air targets in all conditions of their combat employment under intensive ECM and multiple-threat environments, such as government precincts, industrial facilities, command posts and headquarters, military bases, strategic and tactical airfields and nuclear sites. The S-300 PT system was first deployed by the Soviet Union in 1979, designed for the air defense of large industrial and administrative facilities, military bases, and control of airspace against enemy strike aircraft. The project-managing developer of the S-300 is Russian Almaz corporation which is currently a part of "Almaz-Antei" Air Defense Concern. S-300PT was using 5V55 missiles developed by MKB "Fakel" design bureau. The S-300 PT is also capable of destroying ballistic missile targets and is regarded as one of the most potent anti-aircraft missile systems currently fielded. Its radars have the ability to simultaneously track up to 100 targets while engaging up to 12. S-300 deployment time is five minutes. The S-300 PT missiles are sealed rounds and require no maintenance over their lifetime. A typical battery would be equipped with three 5P85 TELs, each with four SAMs, or double the SAM complement of the S-75/SA-2 it replaced and permitting 2 rounds per launch. The designation of this TEL following a mid-life block upgrade became 5P85-1.
