    2. [Fictional] Panavia Tornado GR.1H for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2

      Mod of guuruu's great Tornado GR.1 to make it look like a fictional fighter-bomber plane for the greek air force.
      BACKGROUND STORY
      The fulfilment of the Peace Xenia I contract, signed with the Reagan administration in 1987, got delayed short before the first aircraft could be handed over to the HAF. As a reason for this delay, the Pentagon stated important matters of foreign security, since the Soviet Union (and the Warsaw Pact) started to show significant signs of wear and the beginning emancipation of the eastern block countries. Therefore, the Pentagon wanted to use the aircraft to reinforce overseas units with them. In exchange, the HAF got offered a significant discount for the next contract, Peace Xenia II. Greece, not willing to wait, got in touch with Panavia via the german ministry for foreign affairs.
      Panavia offered the HAF 36 Tornado GR.1 from a cancelled order, partly produced, which could be delivered in a short period of time. The HAF accepted the conditions for the aircraft and was able to introduce the first sixteen GR.1H in January 1989, assigning them to the 330 Moira Keravnos (Lightning). The remaining 20 aircraft got delivered during the following 18 months.
      INSTRUCTIONS

    3. [Fictional] Dassault Mirage 4000H & TH for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2

      Mod of the superb Mirage 4000 to make it look like a fictional fighter plane for the indian air force.

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

      CREDITS
      Big Thanks to all the people involved (see original credits) in the creation of this superb mod.
      Also thanks to Logan4 for allowing me to release it.
       

      ORIGINAL CREDITS taken from Logan4's Mirage 4000P & PB
      This aircraft mod represents Dassault's what-if Mirage 4000P fighter and its trainer PB variant in the Portugese Air Force service.
      This package comes with 1 skin set for each variant, with decals for P (14 planes), and for PB (6 planes).
      Also it is dedicated to our friend Cocas who put his work and time to bring us many of the rare or experimental aircraft in this game series and originally created the base model for this plane.
      This model is meant for SF2 games only, SF1 variants will be uploaded at the SF1 section.
      Install is the regular dropping the contents in their respective places. In case you have the prototype or French A and B variants you can skip the overwrite prompt of weapons as those 6 items are identical.
      Please note: The model can be quite heavy on FPS in large formations on weaker machines, so if required, either resize skin files or use lower lods(_nd,001,002,003) as lod1.
      The model uses the general french and NATO weapons, either as part of weapon packs or the Mirage 2000 family.
      Important: The PB variant comes with 2 types of cockpit, the basic setup will use a simple pit that has only the pilots cabin instrumented. The other is a fully modeled front and rear compartment, in which you want to fly you should activate the proper line in the AC's.ini file.
      CockpitDataFile=Mirage4000PB_Cockpit.ini <---- basic setup
      ;CockpitDataFile=Mirage4000PB_Cockpit_full1.ini <------ front seat
      ;CockpitDataFile=Mirage4000PB_Cockpit_full2.ini <------ rear seat
      Be aware - the piloting seat position can not be changed during/in game, so chose wisely!
      Make sure to read the manual included with the package.

      This skinpack brings the Photo Phantoms of the Kentucky ANG's 165th Tactical Reconnaisance Squadron into the game, both in its basic skins as well as the
      various specials for deployments an competitions.

      The aircraft from the TMF Rebuilt RF-4C Late set, available here: https://combatace.com/files/file/18263-late-model-rf-4cs-photo-phantoms-after-vietnam/

                  Included
      Skins for two different aircraft models,
      Decals for those skins
                  Installation
      Unzip file, add Objects folder to desired mod folder. there should be no overwrites with this pack

                  About The Mirage Factory Rebuilt
      Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009.
      But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were just hopeful wishes over a decade ago.
          The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is just standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today
      and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him.    
      on behalf of The Mirage Factory (original and rebuilt) I thank you for downloading this mod, and hope you enjoy it.

    8. Sabre Dogs - Jugoslovensko Ratno Vazduhoplovstvo

      F-86D Sabre Dog
      Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) 
      Install:
      Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination.
      Make a backup copy of your files if you have a similar mod already on your PC, you might not like this one. 
      A fake pilot is required to run this mod.

      A new model of F-86D and IF-86D as used by the Yugoslav Air Force
      In the game, you will find it under the prefix  JRV 
       
      All skins are in 3072x3072 format. You can easily resize as needed. If needed I can provide it in 4096 format. 
      Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in the YugoslavAir Force. There is one issue that I do not like and that might bother someone too, but I will attempt to fix this as soon as I have more available references.
      The issue is that amid 130 delivered F-86D around 30 (32) were converted into reconnaissance version. And around 30 were designated for spare parts upon delivery.  Serial numbers that cover "spare parts airframes" are easy to determine, and those serial numbers were removed from whole serials /decals/numbers. Unfortunately finding which of the 98 operational airframes were converted into a recon version is nearly impossible (I was able to find two numbers among 32).
      So in the game, you will have 98 airframe serial numbers for F-86D (a little less for the 1968 camouflaged skin set) and 32 for IF-86D... while those 32 serials of IF-86D should be subtracted from those 98. 
      This mod is no longer using a fake rocket tray gun. Now thanks to sudden enlightenment it works as stock Lightning F.1
       
      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...
      strahi - help with skins and research.
      Weapons Mk4 Might Mouse by Ravenclaw. 
      additional SAB-100 illumination bomb but made as free falling parachuted rocket.

       
      Have fun.
      Report bugs. *
      Expect the unexpected.
      Live long and prosper.

      THIS MODEL IS ONLY TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE AND IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL IT BE USED, EVEN IN PART OF ANYTHING THAT IS PAYWARE.
      UNDER THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT
       
      * report BIG bugs...If I misspelled something or forgot to add a sound file...for dog's sake try to fix it.  It's not like this mod is using some ancient or extraterrestrial files..

      By yakarov79
      fixed collision points and hitboxes, fixed lights, and some small data issues
      reworked weapon stations, now it uses a common US 300gal tank, corrected attachment points for big and small bullpups, shrikes, and all weapons in general.
      new skins with new bump maps and specular maps,  so nothing old will work now.
      I used my LAU-7 instead of that old one. now it has the correct proportions to AIM-9,
      I made a new launcher for AGM-12 and AGM-45 - Aero5A now weapons are properly attached to the launcher...
      added some small bits in the model and fixed some mapping issues,
      Additional credits:
      I have added all weapons that are stated in loadout.ini.

      1.0.1
      By yakarov79
      fixed collision points and hitboxes, fixed lights, and some small data issues
      reworked weapon stations, now it uses a common US 300gal tank, corrected attachment points for big and small bullpups, shrikes, and all weapons in general.
      new skins with new bump maps and specular maps,  so nothing old will work now.
      I used my LAU-7 instead of that old one. now it has the correct proportions to AIM-9,
      I made a new launcher for AGM-12 and AGM-45 - Aero5A now weapons are properly attached to the launcher...
      added some small bits in the model and fixed some mapping issues,
      Additional credits:
      I have added all weapons that are stated in loadout.ini.
      all weapons are made by Ravenclaw
      Zuni rockets for launchers
      except two refueling pods made by nyghtfall from his A-4 pack.
      SKins represent pre-Vietnam War squadrons. First user VA-42 they were first in Intruder and was taking care of conversion and training for the US Navy. The second skin is for VA-75 short deployment, first for USS Independence and first for VA-75 on Intruder. Later in 1965, they deployed to Vietnam.

              Eyes of USAFE: RF-4C Phantom IIs in Europe 1978-1991
                  A TMF Rebuilt skin pack
      This skinpack brings the Photo Phantoms of the 10th Tac Recon Wing and 26th Tac Recon Wing during their operations in Germany and the UK. It covers the various specific versions and camoflage schemes from the late 1970s until the end of the types service in USAFE in 1991

                  Required
      A functional copy of any Strike Fighters 2 game except for SF2 North Atlantic (the only one without a native F-4 destroyed model)
      The aircraft from the TMF Rebuilt RF-4C Late set, available here: https://combatace.com/files/file/18263-late-model-rf-4cs-photo-phantoms-after-vietnam/

                  About The Mirage Factory Rebuilt
       Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009.
       But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were just hopeful wishes over a decade ago.
          The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is jsut standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today
      and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him.    
      on behalf of The Mirage Factory (original and rebuilt) I thank you for downloading this mod, and hope you enjoy it.

    16. Falklands Mod HMS Ark Royal ‘what if’ campaign

      SF2 Falklands Mod HMS Ark Royal ‘what if’ campaign 1.1

      This package contains everything you need for an Operation Corporate campaign that uses the HMS Ark Royal with her F-4K Phantom FG.1 and Buccaneer S.2D airwing as if they were all still in service for the 1982 Falklands war.
      It works solely with the updated version of Kesselbrut's "Falklands '82" (Operation Corporate) mod package for Strike Fighters 2 (SF2) uploaded by Dave https://combatace.com/files/file/11627-sf2-falklands-mod/
      In this ‘what if’ scenario the Royal Navy Invincible class carriers have been delayed entering service requiring the HMS Ark Royal to remain active along with her FAA aircraft into the early 1980’s. As such the HMS Ark Royal leads the Royal Navy Task Force to recapture the Falkland Islands. The HMS Hermes serves as her sister carrier in the Task Force operating Sea Harriers and RAF Harriers. However the size and role of her Sea Harrier airwing is more reflective of the ships role as an ASW/ Commando Carrier as it was when the HMS Ark Royal was still active in real life. Meaning the bulk of the air war will be fought by the Phantoms and Buccaneers from the Ark Royal.
      The F-4K Phantom (75) are as they were at the end of Royal Navy service but with the addition of Skyflash and G model Sidewinder missiles (RN Phantoms only ever carried the D). One would assume they would have received these alongside the RAF FG.1/ FGR.2 Phantoms had they remained in service with the Navy after 1978. AIM-9L Sidewinders are also available for the Operation as they were for the Sea Harriers in real life. I have also made the SUU-23/A available but it is not used in any loadouts as it was only integrated onto the FG.1 after they were handed over to the RAF and upgraded with lead computing gunsights. The HEI rounds do not have tracers.
      The Buccaneer S.2D is also as it was at the end of Royal Navy service but with the ECM pods carried by the RAF Buccaneer force in 1982 and the ability to carry the Pave Spike pod. As I imagine these capabilities would have been transferred over from the RAF Buccaneers if this ‘what if’ had scenario had occurred. As well as using the G model Sidewinders of the Phantoms.
      Both aircraft have a big single shot of Chaff simulating how they loaded it inside the airbrakes of aircraft without dispensers in that era.

      Installation:
       
      In addition to the requirements for SF2 Falklands Mod 2.0 you will need Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam (SF2V) for the F-4K cockpit as the F-4J cockpit is more accurate for a Royal Navy F-4K than the Third Wire DLC F-4K cockpit or Third Wire F-4M cockpit.
       
       
       
      STEP 1:

      If you don’t already have a working version of the SF2 Falklands Mod 2.0 download and install it by following the instructions here 
       
      This mod requires a separate Mod Folder from the StrikeFighters2_Falklands Mod Folder you already have or created in step 1.
       
       
      - Open your SF2 Installation directory and make a copy of the StrikeFighters2_Falklands.exe you already have, Rename the copy to StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal.exe
       
       
      - Run the newly copied and renamed StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal.exe file, then exit back out to the Windows desktop after navigating through a few menus. A custom Mod Folder for your Falklands'82 Ark Royal mod install will have been created in the same location as your StrikeFighters2_Falklands Mod Folder you already have.
       
       
      - Open your Mod Folder named StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal and delete the \Objects sub-directory (including everything in it).
       
       
       
       
      STEP 3: INSTALL MAIN COMPONENTS TO MOD FOLDER
       
       
      - Copy and paste everything from your StrikeFighters2_Falklands Mod Folder you already had into the StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal Mod Folder you just created in step 2 EXCEPT the Options.INI file and the Version.INI file.
       
       
      - Unpack the SF2_Falklands82ArkRoyal.7z archive package to a location on your hard drive.
       
       
      - Move the contents of the \To_Mod_Folder directory to your StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal Mod Folder (created in Step 2 above) YOU MUST OVERIDE WHEN ASKED!
       

      STEP 4: EDIT OPTIONS.INI
       
       
      Open the Options.INI in your StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal Mod Folder. Locate the "Instant Action" section and replace it with the following:
       
      [instantAction]
      AircraftType=F-4K_75
      MissionMap=Malvinas
      StartTime=15:15:00
      StartDate=05/21/1982
      StartTimeDeviation=10
      TextureSet=0
      NationalMarking=0
      SquadronMarking=0
      AircraftNumber=0
      KillMarking=0
       
       
      Just below the "Instant Action" section is the "Single Mission" section. At minimum you should change the EndYear= statement to 1983 or higher. I recommend setting the StartYear= and EndYear= as follows:
       
       
      StartYear=1982
      EndYear=1983
       
       
      Save your changes and close the Options.INI file.
       
       
      THAT'S IT. Your "Falklands'82 Ark Royal for SF2" mod should now be ready to use.

    17. F-8A & F-8B Crusader (TW)

      Third Wire F-8A & F-8B Crusader 1.1

      Modification of the Third Wire Crusader model into the F-8 A and B model Crusaders.
      Included is the 2.75" Mighty Mouse air-to-air fuselage rocket drawer but it is not loaded by default as it was reportedly never used operationally.

      F-8A
      -    The F-8A (F8U-1) entered service in 1957. F-8A is powered by the J57-P-4 afterburning turbojet and can reach speeds of Mach 1.5
      F-8B
      -    The F-8B (F8U-1E) was the search radar equipped version, entering service in 1958. It is equipped with the AN/APS-67 radar.

      To install:
      1, Unpack and drop into your main mods folder.
      2, Override when prompted.

      Credits:
      -    Crusader for the F-8A cockpit gauge placement.

      -    ‘SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion v.2.0 Gold’ by Eburger68 and team.
      -    Weapons by Ravenclaw_007.

      CombatAce fair use agreement applies.

      Enjoy,

      ALL work by ME ( Sundowner ) is now no longer covered by the CombatAce Freeware Licensing agreement.
      What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it unless it is part of a full terrain package but you still need to ask me first for permission.
       
       
      A collection of  40+ buildings, hangars etc.
      All these objects my own work, they may not be 100% historically accurate, if that is really important to you don't bother to download them.
      They have been made by looking at photos of the actual structures and sometimes a little "artistic licence " has been used to keep frame rates down etc.
      Any missing textures or whatever just let me know..
      As always read the Read Me.

    19. OV-10A Bronco 68-73

      ALL work by ME ( Sundowner ) is now no longer covered by the CombatAce Freeware Licensing agreement.
      What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it.
      So please no copying of my skins for any use other than your own.
      This model has been created from the old freeware AlphaSim OV-10A, which in itself is a lot more work than most of you think.
      Most of the original AlphaSim model has be "re-moddeled" in some way.
      All animations have been done from scratch and may not be perfect, bits have been added and even more bits have been removed, all parts have been remapped etc, etc.
      Please read the read me.
      There are other Bronco mods available here at CA, this is not designed to replace any of them, you have the choice to use whatever you like or what works best on your system.

    20. [Fictional] IAI/SAAB JA-38 Åska (Thunder)

      Fictional mod of the stock Kfir C2 to make it look like a fighter plane for the swedish air force.
      YOU WILL NEED AT LEAST SF2:I TO GET THIS PLANE RUNNING!

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

      CREDITS
      Big Thanks to Thirdwire for the games and the superb models they have.
      Also to yakarov for the template and to Alfie (Spinners) for the camo pattern I used.

    21. Sabre Dogs - Kongelige Danske Flyvevåbnet

      Royal Danish Air Force F-86D Sabre Dog
      Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) 
      Install:
      Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination.
      Make a backup copy of your previous files, you might not like this one. 
      But if you downloaded my previous version of Danish F-86D - just simply delete all old files, as this mod is entirely new. 
      A fake pilot is required to run this mod.

      A new model of F-86D as used by the Royal Danish Air Force
      In the game, you will find it under a prefix .KDF. * 
      * Kongelige Danske Flyvevåbnet
      Some time ago I uploaded the first version of this model. Now after some suggestions, I fixed mistakes, and some bugs. 
      I fixed data files a little - collision points and hitboxes..as the previous ones were quite weird. But 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 3072x3072 format. You can easily resize as needed. If needed I can provide it in 4096 format. 
      Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in the Danish Air Force.
      This mod is no longer using a fake rocket tray gun. Now thanks to sudden enlightenment it works as stock Lightning F.1
       
      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...
      Weapons Mk4 Might Mouse and AIM-9 by Ravenclaw. 
      TACAN is made as a "weapon" so it will appear automatically after a certain year. 
       
      Have fun.
      Report bugs. *
      Expect the unexpected.
      Live long and prosper.
      Jarek Hereda
      THIS MODEL IS ONLY TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE AND IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL IT BE USED, EVEN IN PART OF ANYTHING THAT IS PAYWARE.
      UNDER THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT
       
      * report BIG bugs...If I misspelled something or forgot to add a sound file...for dog's sake try to fix it.  Not like this mod is using some ancient or extraterrestrial files..

      OK, what we have here are a collection of static aircraft that I've made up myself either from existing max files that I've been involved in before. Or converted from the old Alphasim freeware stuff.
      ALL maps and textures are made by myself.
      All markings are painted on.
      Read the Read Me.

      What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it unless it is part of a full terrain package but you still need to ask me first for permission.
      This is just a small part of a whole lot of Terrain Objects I've made over the last few years, they are all created and painted by myself either using the original max files or started from scratch.
      Please read the read me...................it's  for your benefit.
      During installation if you get asked to overwrite something STOP !! Cancel the installation and rename the files causing the conflict. 
      My work is no better than anybody else's so I'm dead against replacing other folks hard work. Having a choice is nice.
      Have fun.

    24. SF2 F-16A Block 1 (TMF) Pack

      SF2 F-16A Block 1 (TMF) Pack       6/28/2024
      -For SF2, Any and All-(SF2:I Required, Full 5 Merged Suggested)
      - Another 1stGen Salvage Operation -
      This is a rebuild of TMF's F-16A Block 1 Fighting Falcon. This is =JUST= the block 1, with its short life span (78-90, including exported/European built versions). Having SF2:I is required, as this mod makes use of the Netz's destroyed model.
      This mod is set up and labeled to cause =NO= conflicts with the myriad of F-16 mods, both based off the Third Wire Netz or any add-on Vipers. Skins remain in their original bmp format, in their original size and resolution. Most markings are decals, with the exception of some painted on national markings. Decal Randomization is TRUE. Each skin is provided with 24 historically correct serial number decals (for the A block 1).  All necessary items are provided; drop tanks. decals, pilots, sounds, and so forth. Weapons used are all stock in-game items. If I missed anything, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed. Please read the "Notes" for how to select the alternative STRIKE loadout.
      The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The refueling door operates with the Shift/1 (one) keystroke. This also makes use of the expanded RWR listings, and hopefully I've gotten all them tgas together.
      The aircraft is supplied with 3 skins for the original "starting" Air Force users:
      USAF: 16th TFS, 388th TFW
      Belgian Air Force: No.359 Squadron (<1979)
      Netherlands Air Force (KLU) No.322 Squadron (<1980)
      Those squadrons in the stock 3W squadronlist.ini (BAF & KLU) have their displayed name activated via either my (patent pending) fake SqTail decal, or a squadron badge decal, or both.
      When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
      F-16A Blk 1 Fighting Falcon (TMF)
      So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. This will also differentialize THIS one from the many other Falcon mods zipping around, including the stock 3W one.
      As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. The original readme is included. The 'Change Log' is, of course, in the Notes section below.
      Good Hunting & Happy Landings!

    25. Hogs in Reserve: A-10A in Air Force Reserve Service, 1990s

                                        Hogs in Reserve: A-10A in Air Force Reserve Service, 1990s
      This is a skin and decal mod to bring the A-10s of the US Air Force Reserves throughout the 1990s to SF2
      It features skins for both the European 1 green skins as well as the Grey Compass Ghost scheme that the Hogs settled into as the 90s progressed.
      Although considered a part time frorce, the AFRES hogs were quite busy throughout the 1990s supporting operations in the Balkans and over Northern Iraq. This mod has pinpointed the aircraft of each unit as accurately as possible within each unit
          
      Note: the 706th Fighter Squadron is covered from 1996 on, not the aircraft the squadron used in Desert Storm. most of those went to the boneyard shortly after coming home as the squadron converted to F-16s for a few years.

              Included
      Skins and decals for 4 AFRES A-10 squadrons: the 45th FS "IN", 47th FS "BD", 303rd FS "KC", and 706th FS "NO" post 1996.
