Aircraft Carrier "Liaoning" ex Varjag ex Kremlin Class
*****************************************************
This mod is made for SF2.
----------------------------------------------------------
I. History
Since the 50th the Soviet Navy tried to get aircraft carriers. But the political leadership denied all attempts to build such vessels. So the Admirality tried to get carriers through the back door. They declared such ships would be neccessary to hunt down american submarines. So the big ASW ships Moskva and Leningrad were built. But the design was terrible. Thatswhy the project 1143 was developed, better known as Kiev class.
The Kiev class was to small to operate conventional fix wing jets. So the ships were equipped with VTOL planes, the Yak-38. But this plane was no match for american or west european carrierbased planes. Thatswhy the flightdeck of project 1143.4 was made longer. The ship was named Baku. It was built for the supersonic Yak-41. A plan-B was to use the MiG-29K in the air group of the Baku.
The next step was to make the project 1143 ships bigger and longer. 1143.5 was launched in 1982. First named as Riga, then Breshnev, then Tblissi and in 1990 renamed into Kuznetsov.
When the USSR broke into parts the Kuznetsov was transfered to the russian North Fleet.
The sister ship 1143.6, Riga was renamed in 1990 into Varjag (Viking). It was not operational when it was was given to the Ukraine. The Ukraine had not had enough money to finish the ship. Thatswhy it was sold to China. China finished the ship, modified it and named it Liaoning. A second carrier of the same typ the Chinese built under the name Shandong.

Black Knight and the Wolfhounds: F-15C in the 57th FIS and 32d TFS during the 1980s
this mod represents the F-15C while in service with the 57th FIS at NAS Keflavik and the 32d TFS at Soesterberg AB. it is semi historical, as good images of all the aircraft were harder to come by especially for the later 80s
    Installation
get original FastCargo aircraft pack from here
   https://combatace.com/files/file/10443-f-15-super-pack-version-24/
or the viper63a revamp here
   https://combatace.com/files/file/16186-sf2-f-15-eagle-super-pack-redux-2018/
 the skin should work equally well in either. then....
select either just the F-15C and F-15C_85 aircraft (and associated decal folders if you wish, they arent needed for this mod)
unzip, drop "Objects" folder into mod folder. should not be any overwriting necessary
    Included
aircraft skin folders and decal folders for F-15C and F-15C_85 aircraft
    credits
viper63a:             limited use of decals, skins, much inspiration on how to proceed
FastCargo:            original model
daddyairplanes:         minor skin tweeks, revamp of decal layout, tga work
TK:                 the whole original game
note: this started as an improvement to my own install on a new system. as i do not usually fly the two seaters, i have no intentions of doing the D models. if interested, i will gladly share the templates so you can create your own.
thank you for choosing this mod, i hope that you enjoy it

UPDATE 24 September 2022
there is a folder with corrected textures if you encounter your F-15C being blank. this issue was not reported with the
F-15C_85.
since i revisited this mod, i also change the filepaths for the decal folders, adjusted the decal inis, and added loading
screens based on the old TW style but specific to the mod.
 
big thanks to DEVIL11, who brought the texture issue to my attention.
 

SF2 UH-1B Huey Slick & Hog Remod Pack           9/14/2022
-For SF2 (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)-
This package contains remods of Pasko's 1stGen UH-1B helicopters, both the 'Slick' and 'Hog' gunships. These aircraft have been given unique name identifiers, as to not have the conflict with other mods of these same birds.
I've collected just about all the 1stGen skins I could find for these, and created all new decals for them. Where possible, and discoverable, any serial/BuNums associated with a particular unit have been marked with a star (*). All serials ARE historically correct for the models depicted. In the case of the Canadian Hueys, no "(*) star" is used as the 10 serials ARE the 100% historically correct ones. This mod depicts several models of the UH-1B that are visually "pretty close" to each other. In truth, their minor differences won't effect gameplay in any way, shape or form. These are the UH-1B, UH-1C and UH-1E. Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins.
UH-1B Slick ==
US Army; early and late skins (dark or lighter OD)
US Army Medevac: possibly representing 57th Medical Detachment
USMC : VM0-2 "Cherry Deuce" (used both Slicks & Hogs)
Canada: CF-118 3 skins covering their uses and from 1966 thru 1995 in their Search & Rescue and utility service.
UH-1B/C/E Hog ==
US Army; early and late skins (dark or lighter OD)
US Navy: HAL-3 Seawolves
USMC: HML-167 "Warriors, VMO-6 "Tomcats", 
The sF2 'date switch' is fully active, so watch for it. Also included are (finally) damage textures, a destroyed model, all weapons, sounds, pilot figures and so forth. The "275rocket" is a stock 3W item, and therefore not included. FM is relatively untouched (ie: "as is"), so be aware. I'm sure further refinements of the FM are needed.
On the aircraft selection drop-down menu, you'll see:
UH-1B/C/E Huey "Slick" (P)
UH-1B/C/E Huey "Hog" (P)
Obviously, the "P" stands for Pasko.
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! Also =PLEASE= read the "Notes" section for information about Nation assignment for the American birds. Where possible, ALL original readmes have been included.
Happy Landings!

                                                    PACAF F-16C/Ds in the 1990s pt 1
PACAF started transitioning their F-16 fleet in the very early 1990s from the initial F-16A/B models to the more advanced C/D models. 8th Fighter Wing in Korea and 432d Fighter Wing in Japan received Block 30 versions while the 18th Fighter Squadron in Alaska recieved the Block 40s. These units participated in many of the actions the USAF was involved in; including Deny Flight detachments in USAFE's AOR and no fly zone operations over Iraq.

Included
F-16C and D,  Blocks 30 and 40
various period specific weapons and pilots
various ini edits to match the era
new hangar and loading screens

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: The D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models.the best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters. The load outs are the same so you will be
able to load them out easy

Included

DA mod Team Viper                      F-16A/B Block 15 OCU, F-16D Block 30
Team Viper                                     F-16C Blocks 30,32
ravenclaw_007                              F-16D Block 32
various period specific weapons and pilots
various ini edits to match the era
new hangar and loading screens
NOTE 1: The B and D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. the best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters rather than as a flight of their own. The loadouts are the same so you will be able to load the same weapons.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
NOTE 2: The F-16A Block 10s do not have corresponding B models at this time. The existing  Generation 1 models in my opinion need more work than is feasible to bring them to SF2 standards. There are entries in the numbers.lst for B models in the event a new Block 10 two seater becomes available.
************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
LOADING SCREEN NOTE: I will be including various loading screens with the diferent packs available. 
different load screens will be available within each aircraft ini
if you already had a different version and prefer that one, simply remove the "//" from the one you want and add to the one without.
