This is part 1 of a 2 part pack, you WILL need both parts for it to work correctly.
This is my version of a South East Asia terrain, it has been many years in the making but is still not complete or finished.
But considering that my modding years are coming to an end I thought I'd release it anyway.
The area north of the DMZ is a real mess target wise as it's an area I've never been interested in, I personally fly CAS/Armed-Recon in the Central Highlands area.
This is a 250 meter map with 600+ tiles and TOD's so you need a fairly powerful machine to run it.
There's over 450 new ground objects never been released before, all made by myself so any errors there are entirely down to me.
Over the years I've got help and advice off dozens of different modders. They have been the inspiration for me to continue this far, so while they are too many to mention
we should a remember that without the modding community this sim/game would of died many years ago.
This package contains work and ideas from many of the great terrain experts.
A great big THANK YOU to everyone I've worked with in the past.
If you are new to the SF simming world, please don't bother whining and screaming about all the little oddities you may find that you don't like, just download the tools needed from here
at CombatAce and fix them.
Believe me when I say "you've never had it so good"
Please read the readme or you WILL mess up your install and it will all be your own fault.

Fictional mod of Sundowners great Jaguar GR1 to convert it into a fictional fighter plane for the german air force and navy.
BACKGROUND
The german Luftwaffe was seeking a smaller alternative to the bigger and heavier Tornadoes and Phantoms, especially for CAS-Missions; but it also should have some A2A-Capabilities. The Alpha Jet was taken into consideration, but deemed not suitable for the task imposed. The Mirage F1 was also taken into consideration initially, but rapidly dropped because of the Luftwaffe's "Single-Engine-Doctrine" after the Starfighter-Desaster. 
In 1976, after having signed an accord between the british, the french and the german government, german pilots had the opportunity to evaluate the aircraft. Two airplanes, a single- and a double-seater, were especially commissioned at 17 Squadron, RAF Brüggen.
The results were satisfying and the german government signed an order of 36 single- and 8 double-seater planes, taking the GR.1 as a base. First deliveries started in 1978, being the JBG31 the last one to get it's aircraft in 1979. 

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Drop the folders into your Objects folder. If asked to overwrite, click yes.

CREDITS
Big thanks to Sundowner and all other people involved in the creation of this great bird.
I also want to thank him for sharing his templates with me and allowing me to release the aircraft.
The original credits are also included. 
 
***ORIGINAL CREDITS***
                   Sepecat Jaguar GR1 For SF2 series.
2 seperate aircraft are in this pack......Jaguar GR1 & Jaguar GR1_DS.
This is an updated Jaguar that BPAo was working on just before his death,he had re-mapped most of the fuselage and made numerous other model tweaks but had not made the drop tanks part of the model nor made the afterburners self illuminating as is now the norm in SF2. These parts have been made my me so they are not upto Oli's high standards, in fact any other bits that you find that probably "dont look right" are almost certainly my doing.
If you have the old MF Jag GR1 installed I strongly reccomend that you remove or rename it before installing this pack......you might like the old one better.
To install just copy the contents of the "Jaguar_GR1 For SF2 series" folder to your SF2 mods [or whatever you call it] directory.
Many Thanks to;
Oli [RIP] for the original model. 
Kreelin for the FM work.
Moonjumber aka Crusader for the avionics and all his other help.
Loudout inis and various data ini tweeks are by me as are the skins/decals and any errors you find.

In my research for realism, I made this little mod to change the ingame HUD mantaining only the speech subtitles and the hint about weapons selection, chaff/flare release, radar lock, etc. in the left bottom side. I've removed info about speed, heading, callsign, altitude, enemy aircraft, target red squares and waypoint triangle. 
There's also an option to change the menu screens font, if you agree. 
It's an edit of another mod I saw somewhere here on CA time ago, but I don't remember the author. All credits to him.
Installation
- Just drag&drop or copy/paste into your Menu and Flight folders in the installation of your choice (C:\Users\<YOU>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 <WHATEVER>.../)
- If you like it you can put the included font in C:Windows/Fonts and replace the default one in the main menu
- In the game Options/Gameplay you must set all on Hard except HUD on Normal
Hope you like it
Thanks

SF2 Goliath Class CVBN & KC-130E Hercules - A "What If" Package   12/17/2025
-For SF2, Full 5 Merged Recommended-
This is a MASSIVE 'What If" package for you all to enjoy and marvel at the engineering thereof. There's also a new 'what if' airplane here too!
As seen in some Screenshots, this is a new aircraft carrier, taken from items found in 2003s "Factory Place". That mod included something called "carrier_still"; a gigantic, non functional 'eye candy' ship of extraordinary magnitude!! What I've done, (with a little help), is make the monstrosity (mostly) functional AS a working Bird Farm!! It can take any and all USN or other carrier based naval aircraft. There is some "oddities" with the self defense systems and damage rendering; these are explained in the "Notes" section. There are 6 ships in this class, all named. They may (can) appear in game-generated missions within their Battle Groups. They are given a service lifespan from 1969 to 2065. They use standard 3W in-game missiles, so having SF2:NA should be considered a requirement.
For more added fun, I've created a new "KC-130E_cv" Hercules aircraft for use as a COD, tanker and general transport. This aircraft is FULLY carrier capable, for launches and recoveries. (it's based on Dels Hercs). It included 3 skins:
USN:
VR-65 "Wanderers" (1962<)
VR-65 "Wanderers" (LoViz TPS <80)
USMC:
VMGR-252 "Otis" (<1962)
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All BuNums are historically correct for Herc's used by the USN/USMC, but as this is a 'What If', ??? why really cares!! 🙂
On the aircraft selection drop-down menu, you'll see:
KC-130E Hercules (CV)
This let's you know it's something special, and out of the ordinary! Other than it's carrier capabilities, it's a regular Herc.
You'll also be adding a new engine and ship sounds (unless you've done so already), and these will need to be added to the Sound list ini, so have that extracted (if you haven't already), and in the /Flight folder in your Mods Folder of choice.
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. If anything is missing or so badly messed up it don't work, let me know and I'll try my best to get it fixed.
Please read the Notes section for other useless information, and (hopefully) full credits. 
Please also take note of changes in the Standard Disclaimer in the "Legal BS" section at the bottom.
Good Hunting & Happy Landings!
