F-4D Cockpit Pack 
includet in this pack are
F-4D cockpit F-4D_67 cockpit F-4D_71 cockpit ( full aircraft folder ) F-4D_75 cockpit F-4D_78 cockpit weapons pack  nuclear effects for B61 and Walley Mk6 ( only in case you dont have this files ) if you have the BETA cockpits for testing than PLEASE delete them before you install the new ones , to install just drop the files in to the respective aircraft folder
i corrected the existing position lights and added the missing position lights as well as the landing lights , i also addet the cockpit open/close function and the functioning arresting hook , the top fuselage position light ( behind the cockpit ) is more or less on the right position ( i did not change this position ) but the texture for it on the skin is on the wrong position , maybe somebody can come up with some new and corrected skins for this F-4D aircraft
NOTE:  the files includet in the Effects folder are only in case you dont have them , if you have this files than there is no need to install them again , the files are neede to have the nuclear effects for the B61 bombs and the Walley Mk6
NOTE: Before installing the new weapons i strongly recomend to delet or remove the existing ones with the same name as the new ones ( i know that this is time consuming but this way you make sure that this weapons work as they should )
i made a lot of test with the cockpits and the changed data.ini´s and loadout.ini´s if there are still problems please let me know 
 
have fun , ravenclaw_007

STRIKE FIGHTER 2: AVIONICS COMMUNITY PACK (SF2: ACP) v0.3
 
Welcome to SF2: ACP first release of alpha.  Before I explain about the pack, I want to express big thank to the wonderful communities and modders of Combatace and Combat Flight Sim Tavern (Discord), including Thirdwire for the simulation.
You all are the reasons why this pack exists.  I want to use the passions to improve SF2 into higher levle with avionics.
This requires a lot of research, reading flight manual, and tons of tweaking in avioincs and cockpit ini, along with countless of testing in-flight in SF2.
The mods is not perfect, we do our best with the mods.  We do it with the joys of our hobbies!
This pack includes the following features:
- New gunsight / optical sight
- New texture for radar scope and another avionic equipment (See note #1)
- Improved cockpit and radar through cockpit and avionics ini tweaks for semi-realism (See note #2)
- Templates for gunsight, radar, TV, and other avionics
- Improves glass texture (If possible)
- Accessibility - Optional, includes the AAM firing cue on gunsight for people who can not hear the sounds of missile locking on targets.
- Improved night lights inside cockpits
- Tweaks to the view angle around cockpit
NOTE #1: Due to the nature of lighting system inside cockpit in SF2 engine, I had to apply the darkness level on top of texture scope, in order, to prevent them from glowing.  In templates, you will see "darkness" layer for this reason.
NOTE #2: As mentioned in note #1, due to little resources (Information / data) on early cold war era radar, at least half or most of tweaks are based on an educated guess. For exampe, AN/APG-33 radar that is used with E-1 FCS in F-89B and C, there are some data on it, but no data on elevator nor azimuth angle limitation.  
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------- TEMPLATES ------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
There are templates for gunsight, radar, RWR, and another type of avionics assets.  It is there so anyone can use it to create their own avionics for any aircraft. You will see the folder:
_AVIONIC TEMLPATES
Please note, the standard size created for radar and gunsights;
For Radar scope, it is 1024 x 1024.
For gunsight, it comes in two sizes:
512 x 512 (For MIL 80 to higher MIL)
256 x 256 (For MIL 70 to lower MIL)
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------- HISTORICAL VS FICTIONAL ----------------
----------------------------------------------------------
Avionics overhaul for Historical vs fictional aircraft
I am dong overhaul for both historical and 'what if' fictional aircraft.
For example, in this alpha version, there are avionics overhaul for F-8A to F-8K, along with France F_8s.  It also includes 'what if' JASDF F-8EJ Crusader. 
----------------------------------------------------------
---------------------- INSTALLATION ----------------------

SF2 Sukhoi Su-7BMK Indian Air Force Pack (3W)      1/8/2025
-For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Recommended)
The pack contains 4 remade skins for the stock 3rd Wire Su-7BMK "Fitter-A" fighter-bomber as used by the Indian Air Force. It also includes Stary's cockpit, modified data, loadout and avionics inis. The aircraft is now Player Flyable (tm) As is to be expected on stock normally AI-only aircraft, a quick restore main ini is also included. It should also be stated, the 'game using' Main Ini, has been rendered "Read-Only", so as not to loose it's Player Flyable (tm) status. The included "make if flyable" parts can be used on any of the other Su-7s in the Game's Hangar. An SF2 version of my "box art" hangar screen is also included. The canopy opens/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero).
The Indian Air Force squadrons represented herein are:
No. 32 Sqdn "Thunderbirds"(Blu/Tan/Brn-71)
No. 101 Sqdn "Falcons" (NMF)
No. 221 Sqdn "Valiants" (Brn/Grn Camo -74)
No. 222 Sqdn "Tigersharks"(Blu/Grn/Brn <71)
The SF2 "date switch" is active, and will turn on the various skins on the year indicated above. 101 Sqdn, being NMF is the 'start at the beginning skin'. All markings are decals, with the exception of the national markings on #32 Squadron. All serial numbers (86 - all I could find) are 100% historically correct for this mark Fitter. Decal Randomization is TRUE. Unfortunately, I could not match serials with squadrons, so these serials are done "3rd Wire Style (tm)", being pooled for use on all 4 skins.
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. The Change Log List is also in the Notes section. Where possible, I've included the original 1stGen readmes for historical credits.
Happy Landings!

SF2 CAC CA-27 Avon Sabre: AURI & TNIAU Skin Pack       1/2/2025
-For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Recommended)
This package contains 3 new skins/decals sets for the CAC CA-27 "Avon Sabre". After an almost 12 year delay, I'm finally completing a promise made in 2012. These skins are to be used on Zur's RAAF Sabre (version 2) found at the following URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/11593-raaf-cac-sabre-mk32-version-2/
If you don't have it, now's a good time to get it!!! <gr>
This package adds the Indonesian Air Force and two (2) Malaysian Air Force skins. Textures are in jpg format, and all markings are decals. All serial numbers are 100% historically accurate for both countries. Decal randomization is TRUE for both. Also included are tweeked decal inis for the two RAAF skins, activating their displayed Squardron Name via my (patent pending) fake "SqTail" decal. The SF2 date switch is active for the RMAF skins; you'll start with the NMF and in approx 1974, will switch to the OD camo skin. On the Skin Selection drop down you'll see them listed as:
No.14 SKU,TNI-AU (<73)
No.11 Sqdn, RMAF (<68)
No.11 Sqdn, RMAF Camo (<74)
New(ish) Data, loadout and userlists inis are also included, due to some small changes I'd made in all of them.
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. The Change Log List is also in the Notes section.

                              Creek Klaxon '86: Air National Guard Deployment to Ramstein AB 1986
     This mod is a simple skin and decal set to represent Creek Klazon; an ANG deployment from April 1986 through March 1987 while the resident 86th Tactical Fighter Wing was transitioning from the F-4E to the F-16C Block 25. Crews from many ANG squadrons rotated out over the course of the year, while three units sent three aircraft each to support the Zulu Alert interception mission. These airframes came from California's 194th FIS, Minnesota's 179th FIS and North Dakota's 178th FIS, all with air defense missions in the United States and all donating F-4D aircraft in the colorful Air Defense Gray paint scheme.
Also included in this mod is terrain mods to allow pairs take offs at Ramsein AB, and a mod to plug into NATO Fighters 5 so that you can fly the 1986 campaign with this unit (they were historically there during the timeframe)
           Included
skins and decals for the stock F-4D
new load and hangar screens for same
terrain mods to allow pairs take offs at Ramstein AB (Rends terrain and stock GermanyCE)
campaign and terrain mods to add a Creek Klaxon campaign in NF5
            Required

MiG-21F-13M update program (What if)
***********************************
----------------------------------------------------------
I. This mod is written for SF2

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
II. History:
In 1969, the Soviet Union delivered the first of 87 MiG-21Ms to the East German Air Force LSK/LV. This aircraft was eagerly awaited in the GDR, as it promised a greater range, a higher weapon load and an improved radar. But when the aircraft became part of everyday military life, the joy soon gave way to great disillusionment. It became apparent that the MiG-21M had lost a large part of its maneuverability compared to its predecessor models. The acceleration ability was also no longer what it was used to. The pilots were loudly critical, which was unusual, because in the GDR it was strictly frowned upon to criticize Soviet military technology.
At first the head of the air force wanted to punish his pilots for their criticism, but his deputy convinced him of the opposite. If loyal elite pilots dared to criticize openly, then there must be something to it.
Therefore, a series of training air battles was scheduled in which the MiG-21M had to compete against its predecessor models.
In every single air battle, the MiG-21M was outmaneuvered and simulated being shot down. The aircraft was simply too fat and underpowered.
The disillusionment was great. Therefore, it was decided to use the MiG-21M from now on only as a reconnaissance aircraft and fighter-bomber. In order to bridge the time until more modern MiG-21 variants arrived, the older MiG-21 versions were ordered to be modernized.
The focus was on the MiG-21PF and the MiG-21F-13.
The MiG-21F-13 was the most agile version of the MiG-21. It was loved by its pilots. But this aircraft had some disadvantages. These included the lack of an air target radar, a low weapon load and a less than reliable engine. These problems needed to be addressed. The project was codenamed "Moskito".
At the end of 1969, the Chief of the GDR Air Force presented the "Moskito" project at a meeting of the top leadership of the Warsaw Pact states. Polish and Czech participants were interested, so an agreement was reached that the "Moskito" project should be jointly pursued by the three states of the GDR, Poland and Czechoslovakia.
Poland took on the task of modernizing the weapon system. Czechoslovakia would take care of the engine and the GDR would revise the sensor system.
Work in Poland progressed quickly. This was because Poland was already working on a double launch rail for air-to-air missiles. It was called Monsun and was originally intended for the MiG-21PF. It now had to be integrated into the weapon system of the MiG-21F-13. This was achieved within a few months.
The Czechs' task was more difficult. Initially, the original R-11F-300 engine was to be replaced by the MiG-21PFM engine. However, there were some delays and problems installing the engine. In addition, the increase in performance was only achieved when the afterburner was used, not with normal thrust. It was only when the Soviet Union agreed to supply the R-13F-300 engine that real progress could be made. Normal thrust increased by 5%, and afterburner thrust by an incredible 25%. The test pilots were enthusiastic about the MiG-21F-13 with this engine.
In the GDR, they were faced with the problem of developing an air target radar that would match the RP-21 in terms of performance. The RP-21 did not fit into the slim nose of the MiG-21F-13. Therefore, the radar rangefinder SRD-5ND Kwant was used as the starting point for radar development. By using semiconductor technology instead of vacuum tubes, it was possible to reduce the weight of the device, increase its reliability and triple the detection distance. Instead of detecting a large aerial target at 7 km, the new radar had a range of more than 20 km.
Making the radar's small antenna swivelable was a major problem. But after a few failed attempts, it was possible to develop a reliable mechanism.
By mid-1971, project work had progressed to the point where the components developed by the three participating countries in the "Moskito" project could be combined in a prototype. Flight testing went surprisingly smoothly, so that the conversion of the first MiG-21F-13 to the new standard could begin in early 1972. In the GDR, the work was carried out in the aircraft factory in Dresden. Modernized aircraft were given the type designation MiG-21F-13M. The Polish aircraft were given the same designation, while the Czechs called their machines S-106M. Between 50 and 60 MiG-21F-13s were converted in each of the three countries. Czechoslovakia built another 50 new machines till 1976.
The MiG-21F-13M saw its first combat deployment in the Yom Kippur War in 1973. The Soviet Union demanded that its allies compensate for the aircraft losses of Egypt and Syria by supplying MiG-21s. The GDR supplied the unpopular MiG-21M, while Poland and the Czechs each sent 12 MiG-21F-13Ms to Egypt. They were first deployed in the air battle of Al-Mansura, where they were able to shoot down 11 Israeli F-4Es without losing a single aircraft of their own. The Egyptian pilots were enthusiastic about the MiG-21F-13M.
The MiG-21F-13M was flown in the GDR until 1985. In Poland and Czechoslovakia they were taken out of service in 1990. The pilots of the MiG-21F-13 loved this aircraft and considered it the best MiG-21 version ever.

                                                  Wonderful Vipers of Oz: F-16C/Ds in the Kansas Air National Guard
 
This mod represents the F-16C/D Block 25s in the 184th Tactical Fighter Group, Kansas Air National Guard in the early 1990s.The 184th TFG operated three squadrons for over 4 years until conversion to the B-1B Lancer.However, all of the wings aircraft were pooled together with wing common markings. The wing also operated a larger number of D models due to its primary training mission.
            Included
F-16C and D Block 25 aircraft
Weapons, Effects and Sounds
Multiple historic nose door arts
            Required
copy of StrikeFighters 2: Israel for F-16 destroyed model
the F-16C/D Block 25 models found in any of these locations:

    https://combatace.com/files/file/18389-deutschland-86-block-25-f-16cds-introduced-to-usafe-1986/
    
            Installation
unzip "2 mod folder"; place contents in desired mod folder. Allow overwrites if necessary
            MOD NOTE
The F-16C_25 aircraft tends to pitch up rapidly resulting in a tail strike if player does not fly carefully. This problem is noted in several FMs and as far back as the Block 25 in NATO Fighters 5. There is no fix at this time although it is more immersion killer than damaging to the aircraft. Best to keep the nose down until rotation speed (varies by load) then "pop" the aircraft off the runway and climb out.

                                      Deutschland 86: Block 25  F-16C/Ds Introduced to USAFE, 1986
 
This mod represents the F-16C/D Block 25s introduction to service in USAFE, specifically in Germany in the mid 1980s.
The squadrons of the 50th TFW at Hahn AB upgraded from Block 15s to Block 25s during 1986. The two squadrons of the 86th TFW at Ramstein AB swapped out their F-4E Phantom IIs for Block 25s starting at the end of 1985, although they then swapped again for Block 30s towards the end of 1986.
            Included
F-16C and D Block 25 aircraft
Weapons, Effects and Sounds
            Installation
unzip "2 mod folder"; place contents in desired mod folder. Allow overwrites if necessary
            Required
copy of StrikeFighters 2: Israel for F-16 destroyed model
            MOD NOTE
The F-16C_25 aircraft tends to pitch up rapidly resulting in a tail strike if player does not fly carefully. This problem is noted in several FMs and as far back as the Block 25 in NATO Fighters 5. There is no fix at this time although it is more immersion killer than damaging to the aircraft.

            History Note
In the 526th TFS and 512th TFS skins for the F-16C_B25, the number list features serial numbers that have periods on them. these denote aircraft that could be traced to the 86th TFW, but not to a specific squadron. I utilized my best educated guesses on which squadron had which airframe. As better information comes along i will update as able.

  Sumter County Tactical: F-16C/Ds and RF-4Cs of the 363rd TActical Fighter Wing, 1986
 
This mod represents the 363rd Tactical Fighter Wing in 1986 after its fighter squadrons completed conversion from the A/B mode F-16s to the C/D Block 25 F-16s. The wing was also still operating the RF-4C Phantom II in the 16th TRS, while the 33rd TFS stood up on the Block 25s and the 17th and 19th TFSs converted.
            Included
F-16C and D Block 25 aircraft
RF-4C(75) and (85) aircraft
Weapons for both aircraft
Sounds and Effects for all
            Required
copy of StrikeFighters 2: Israel for F-16 destroyed model
            Installation
unzip "2 mod folder"; place contents in desired mod folder. Allow overwrites if necessary
            NOTE
The F-16C_25 aircraft tends to pitch up rapidly resulting in a tail strike if player does not fly carefully. This problem is noted in several FMs and as far back as the Block 25 in NATO Fighters 5. There is no fix at this time although it is more immersion killer than damaging to the aircraft. Best to keep the nose down until rotation speed (varies by load) then "pop" the aircraft off the runway and climb out.

New model of F-86D as used by far East Asian countries. The set includes the Republic of China Air Force, South Korea Air Force, and the Philippine Air Force.
Do not overwrite any old files that you might downloaded here in CA. Make a backup of old files or rename new ones. But definitely do not mix any files of the old F-86 with this new one.
In the game, you will find it under the prefix * F-86D Sabre Dog
I fixed data files a little - collision points and hitboxes..as the previous ones were quite weird. However, I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea or coffee. 
All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed.
Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in a particular year. Or I believe it does.
 
Credits.
The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench.
Yours truly  -  model rework, mambo jumbo like skins, decals, research...

Battle of Britain 2 1960th
*****************************************************
This mod is made for SF2E.
----------------------------------------------------------
I.
Battle of Britain 2 1960th terrain is a rework of Battle of Britain 2 Operation Sealion terrain, with focus on the 1960th. So you can fly and fight in a potentional Battle of Britain, which is fought in the 1960th.
As basic the terrain is set as a Western European Union versus UK conflict. You can fly either for the french, west german, dutch, danish and belgium forces or for the RAF or the Royal Navy. The conflict starts with the occupation of the British Channel Islands by France and the british response.Thatswhy the airfileds on that islands are set for the red side and not for the RAF. You also find beachheads of a WEU invasion force, so that you can fly CAS missions on south Englands coast.
If you like a more classic Soviets vs Britain setting, then you should look into the Goodies folder. In the subfolder Soviets vs UK you find the neccessary files to modify this terrain. Simply copy the two files (....nations and .....targets) into the Battle of Britain 2 1960th mainfolder and let overwrite the existing files. Then you can fight down the Soviets or, if you want, you can fly for the Soviets.
If you want to switch back you can do it easily with copy the files from Europe vs UK folder.
Compared with BoB2 OpSealion the new terrain has 19 additional targetareas. Some parts of the map are new tiled, some areas with photorealistic tiles, made by satpictures. The airfields are completly reworked, there are no two airfields which are looking as each other. The positioning of trees on the map (tod objects) is reworked on the most tiles.
A known issue are the blue squares around the islands of Guernsey, Herm and Alderney, which not really match the color of the surrounding sea. I hope to solve this in a later update.
 

The terrain comes with a campaign. It is a Western European Union vs UK campaign.

If you want to fly for the Western European Union you need flyable versions of following planes
F-104G Starfighter
F-84F Thunderstreak
Mirage3C
Super MystereB2
F-100D
All this planes are stock planes, for flyable versions you need only a cockpit. It can be found easily in the download area of CombatAce.

SF2 CAC CA-28 Sabre "What If" Skin & Ini Tweeks Pack       12/14/2024
-For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Recommended)
Herein you'll find 2 new skins for Yakarov's CA-28 'Sabre Dingo' What If aircraft. If you don't already have it, you can find the aircrft at the following URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/18369-what-if-raaf-ca-28-sabre-dingo/
Historically, the Real World (tm) CA-27 Sabres were exported to the Indonesia Air Force (TNIAU) and the Royal Malasian Air Force (AURI). Following that logic, this is what this package does.
On the skin selection menu, on the Loadout Page, you'll see:
No.14 Sqdn TNIAU
Royal Malaysian Air Force
(unlike the CA-27 "Avon" Sabre, the RMAF units here are NOT repainted from NMF to OD camo. Both aircraft remain in Natural Metal Finish. No squadron was assigned for the RMAF aircraft)
The SF2 'date switch' is active, even though these skins have a 1978 (Indonesia) and 1968 (RMAF) start dates. These are also defined in the new userlist ini.
The skins are in jpg format, all markings are decals. Decal Randomization is "TRUE". Both aircraft's serial number presentation follows historic Real World (tm) style. TNIAU gets 16 aircraft, and RMAF gets only 8. The number sequence is extrapolated from the existing Real World (tm) serials. Several other small changes have been made to various other items, and they're listed in the Change Log.
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. The Change Log List is also in the Notes section.
Happy Landings!

Another old Template found on one of my storage hard drives. Good luck deciphering it.
This is for all 3 of us that still fly SF1 and would like to make their own skins for one of the most iconic models we have for SF1 but can also be used in SF2.
This is a Template for Wolf257's P-51A/B/C Mustangs. The template is waaaay past it's 'Use By Date' and has been lost and found on one or another of my hard drives for years.
It is still a work in progress and needs improvements but I don't expect to work on it anymore. Feel Free to improve it all you want. 
This is a culmination of many peoples work of almost 20 years.
This template is in .psd format at 2048x2048 pixels.
Credit and Thanks go to:
Wolf257 for the model.
USAFMTL, Suhsjake, Torquatus, Pappychecksix, Wrench, Sundowner and probably many I'm completely unaware of for the many former templates and skins for this bird.
Happy Skinning.

SF2NA unresponsive Controls (with Joystick) - FIX
SOLUTION:
This mod is based on SF2NA ExpPack
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
When SF2NA came out TK messed up the controls.ini file so it doesn't match what the in-game controls show.
He released a fix but it not works for all Joysticks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So on this page (Link below) you have explanation what to do - by user "iahn755" he explained all well:
 
 
You need manually to edit - to place a name of your controller in "Controls".ini
this usually fix the problem
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
Play & Enjoy
