IAe FMA 33 Pulqui II
REDUX
 
 
This is a complete overhaul of Foxmonters Pulqui II, it is a relativley old model, so there are a few minor issues with the skin, ie, it was designed for SF1 I think, and as there are zero templates available, I had to make my own, and try and figure out wher bits an pieces are supposed to go. Anyhow, I have completely reworked the skins, new panels and rivets, updated the engine and flight characterisics ( I used the engine and flight stats from the Venom) I have replaced the frankly bloody awful cockpit with the one from the Mystere V, which I think is actually the F84 pit. The aircraft now has drop tanks from the Vampire, I was going to add other weapons, but as there are no pylons for this model, and I did NOT want to use the "fake pilot" method, is is purely a gun armed bird. 
There are  6 new skins, 2 Argentine, camo and NMF, 2 Egyptian again camo and NMF 1 Dutch example in green over blue, and finally a Dhimari recce bird in NMF with a sand upper fuselage. I have not redone the Argentine prototype aircraft, as I think it looks crap, so if you want that skin, get the original aircraft, and revell in its utter ugliness   The orginal also had a Parani skin, but I feel that it would be more likely for Dhimar to use this aircraft, as it is not a WARPAC plane, also the Egyptian, and Dutch aircraft are the only other skins  I have done as no one else actually ordered the Pulqui ( although the orders wer ultimately cancelled, so they ARE what if skins )
I have included an alternative pit, the one from the Vampire, however, you will have to piddle around with it, as the view of the wings from the cockpit seat is rather dreadful, but it's there if you wish to use it insted of the Mystere pit. all the decals have been re done,  and of course are included in the package, I have applied spurious stencilling in various places on the airframe, however they are in Polish ( I think ) as I lifted them from the Mig-15, but hey its only window dressing right !!! The sounds are also included, make sure to ammend you soundlist.ini so they work. So read the read me file and the add to soundlist files and you should be frosty. 
I have just notiiced I forgot to include the sound for the Gun in the Sounds folder, even though I did put it on the soundlist.ini addition. so please add the sound file attached below.
Any questions please feel free to message me.
As always............................ENJOY

DRV 2.0 terrain
Democratic Republic of Vietnam or better known as North Vietnam
*****************************************************************************
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This terrain is written for SF2NA and SF2E or SF2I or SF2V.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I. Short description:
This terrain covers North Vietnam, parts of South Vietnam and Thailand.
The timeframe of the terrain is from 1964 to 1979.
It is made as a NavalMap so that you can fly carrier missions against North vietnam.
You can fly following missions for the American and their allies, the South Vietnamese:
SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,RECON,CAS,ARMED_RECON
For the North Vietnamese you can fly this missions:
CAP,INTERCEPT

DRV 2.0 is a rework of DRV 1.4, a terrain which i made 20 years ago. I gave it a new tileset, reworked some tiling and some target areas. Further rework of the target areas is neccessary and will be done later.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
II. INSTALLATION:
To run this terrain you need SF2NorthAtlantic and SF2 Israel or SF2 Europe or SF2 Vietnam.

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
DRV.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

If you have SF2Vietnam, but no SF2 Europe then open
DRV.ini with Notepad editor and look for the lines
//CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat
CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
change the entry ino:
CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat
//CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat

Simmers Paint Shop Color Chips                 6/29/2025
With the loss of Simmers Paint Shop, a lot of fantastic information has been lost forever for those texture artists that like the ability to fully match the proper colors for any and (mostly) all eras and countries. 
Listed are not only the color chips, the the R/G/B and Hex values to (re)create them in your own image manipulation programs (GIMP, Photoshop, Paint.net, etc) These are given the US Federal Standard, and for Luftwaffe, the RLM converted to FS coding.
I don't remember when I found these, but here they are. Included are the original png format images, and I've converted them to jpgs for easier viewing with various and sundry programs.
Be advised, the images are QUITE large, so you'll need to zoom in on them.
Included herein are chips for:
Japan - IJN, IJAAF, JASDF
Germany - Luftwaffe RLM/RAL
UK - RAF British Standard
Russia/Soviet Union - VVS colorlist
USA - USAF, USN, US Army
I hope you enjoy these, and make good use of them!!! Even though I uploaded to the SF2 category, these are usefull for any and all games or what-have-yous that you'd like to use them for!! :)

I didn't find printable keyboard shortcuts on the net so i made my own. It is in vectors so you can edit it to your liking. The shortcuts were mapped from the official site. There are two layouts, one is horizontal, other is in two rows. Let me know if i missed something. 
If there is something similar on the web i don't mind, i had fun making it. Cheers.

The 184th TFG operated F-4D's from 1979 till 1990 and was the F-4 Schoolhouse, operating 70 F-4D's in various paint schemes.
This includes (18) different F-4D's wearing the Euro Scheme variations which were seen on the flightline of McConnell AFB during the late 1970's and 1980's.
These were all verified by photos and do not represent a particular year but the entire F-4D Phantom tenure with the 184th. Being a schoolhouse, the 184th had Phantoms in every scheme, some Kansas Phantoms wore them all during their time at the unit while others did not.
Happy Phlying!

STRIKE FIGHTER 2: AVIONICS COMMUNITY PACK (SF2: ACP) v0.4
----------------------------------------------------------
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 next level with avionics.
This requires a lot of research, reading flight manual, and tons of tweaking the texture, and avionics 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, RWR, and another avionic equipment
- Improved cockpit and radar through cockpit and avionics ini tweaks for semi-realism (See note #2)
- 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: 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.  

----------------------------------------------------------
----------------- 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 ----------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
There are readme inside each aircraft folder, please read the instruction to install the mods.
NOTE: There is a folder "_OPTIONAL - RWR", by default, RWR always have texture.  If you want TW style version of RWR, you can replace the RWR with the provided RWR texture from that folder.
----------------------------------------------------------
------------- GUNSIGHT / OPTICAL SIGHT SYSTEM ------------
----------------------------------------------------------
The new version of SF - CAP now have new gun system (texture and MILs)
From now on, all guns have texture of 512 x 512, which is 150 MILs.
In order, to use the new gunsight / optical sight, you MUST set MILs to 150 in cockpit.ini or ImageSize=0.2025 in avionics (HUD)
When I created the optical sights, I measured the MILs of gunsight by pixels
For example
512 pixel width is 150 MILs
For example:
For 100 / 50 / 25 MILs, it is 341 / 171 / 85 pixels

----------------------------------------------------------
------------------- TEMPLATES SITUATION ------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
Due to steer size of projects, I am more focused on creating texturs for avionics overhaul.  It is taking a lot of my time and I rather to focus and finish the projects in time.
Therefore, from SF - CAP v0.4 onward, it no longer have TEMPLATE folder. And to add, with the new gunsight / optical sight, it requires new templates too.
However, if any of you want the templates for certain aircraft's avoinics, you can contact me by posting in SF - CAP thread or PM me in CombatAce.
I can clean up the mess in the templates and send it to you to use for modding SF2.
----------------------------------------------------------

                                                                52nd Fighter Wing 1993
This mod brings together all of the aircraft of the 52nd Fighter Wing at Spangdahlem AB, Federal Republic of Germany in 1993. It features historic serials and skins for the era
                                       Included
A-10A_93, F-16C/D_B50, F-4G_92 aircraft
Sounds, effects and decals for all of the above
Assorted Weapons
Special Fuel Tanks to allow selection from different aircraft.
                                       Installation
unzip, add contents of "2 Mod Folder" to the mod folder of your choice. allow overwrites
NOTE ON F-4G_92
I HAVE BEEN GIVEN PERMISSION FROM ravenclaw_007 TO RELEASE AN EARLIER COPY OF HIS ONGOING F-4G PROJECT. WHEN HE RELEASES HIS FINAL PRODUCT IN THE FUTURE THIS MOD WILL BE UPDATED ACCORDINGLY.
NOTE ON SPECIAL TANKS AND MIXED FLIGHTS
I HAVE SET UP A SERIES OF FUEL TANKS SO THAT FUEL TANKS OTHER THAN WHAT IS NATIVE TO THE AIRCRAFT CAN BE SELECTED, ALLOWING MIX FLIGHTS OF AIRCRAFT. THE TANKS FOR EACH AIRCRAFT IS IDENTIFIED BY A NUMBER AT FRONT (IE "370 GAL TANK") WHILE THE NON REGULAR ONES HAVE THE AIRCRAFT NAME IN FRONT (IE F-16 370 GAL TANK). THEY WILL APPEAR FOR THE MOST PART AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MENU SCROLL
IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THIS, IT IS HIGHLY RECCOMENDED THAT YOU SELECT THE F-16C, THEN CHANGE TO THE F-4G OR A-10 IN THE LOADOUT MENU SCREEN ( flightname 1-1 IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE LEAD). THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO USE ALL AVAILABLE WEAPONS, AS THE F-16 CAN CARRY ALMOST ANYTHING THE A-10 OR F-4G CAN.

Mirage F-1CG Late.
This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.
Greece operated 40 Dassault Mirage F1CG single seat aircraft. F1CG was first ordered in 1974 and entered service with the Hellenic Air Force in 1975. The aircraft were used by 334 Squadron and 342 Squadron. Mirage F1CG was armed with the Sidewinder AIM-9P missile, rather than the most commonly used Matra Magic II, and it could carry four AIM-9Ps, rather than just two.
Upgraded version from 1984 with MK6 ejection seat, RWR and additional wings missile pylons.
Covered unit :

Above all this is a what if mod in order to create a new flyable fighter.
*JH-9 'Shen Jian' ('Excalibur') v1.0.0
First flight : 1976
Developped by the PLAAF
This fighter is derivated from the MiG-21PF.
It was first observed and pictued in October 1976 over the China Sea.
*SF2 basical game from Thirswire is needed.
*I would like to thank :
- Combat Ace Team for their hosting,
- Thirdwire their game,
- Mago/Paladrian for their cockpit,
- and the creator of the GP-9 gunpod.
Best regards,
Coupi
 

Mirage F-1CG.
This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.
Greece operated 40 Dassault Mirage F1CG single seat aircraft. F1CG was first ordered in 1974 and entered service with the Hellenic Air Force in 1975. The aircraft were used by 334 Squadron and 342 Squadron. Mirage F1CG was armed with the Sidewinder AIM-9P missile, rather than the most commonly used Matra Magic II, and it could carry four AIM-9Ps, rather than just two.

A big thank to all on Combatace and C6 forums that helped us solving issues we encountered.
Any omission in credits is totally unwanted, if I forgot somebody, let me know, I will correct this.

JASDF F-4EJ cockpit pack
includet in this pack are
F-4EJ_72_cockpit F-4EJ_85_cockpit this cockpits will only work with the F-4EJ pack i made , here is the link to this aircrafts   https://combatace.com/files/file/14263-f-4ej/
this cockpits will not work with the TW F-4EJ DLC06  , at least not with out a lot of rework and repositioning
to install just drop the content of the F-4EJ_72 and F-4EJ_85 folders in to the respective aircraft folders and let overwrite if ask to
 
i hope i got everything right this time and the cockpits will work for you as they should
 
have fun , ravenclaw_007

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

In this package you find the current versions of my programs. Since all programs are using the same Qt and Microsoft Visual Studio libraries I thought it is convenient to put them all together.
 
This package contains currently:
 
LOD Viewer V0.5.2 (old obsolete version, please download and use V0.6.3)
Target Area Editor V0.2.2 (Updated)
CAT Extractor V0.1.0 (NEW!)
 
For usage instructions of the programs please read the readme files located in the Readme folder.
 
Update 29.03.2025: I think it's best for the community if my tools are freely downloadable for everyone. External download link: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/uy29n6jh3fu35inxlhhuf/MuesToolBox.zip?rlkey=94k9s0iv3enz4b6b6l2tstfyz&st=vtdl2gh9&dl=0

This is the newest version of the LODViewer.
New features:
-decal support
-display of collision and pivot points
-added transparency and wireframe display mode
-user definable background color
-view manipulation via keyboard
-64 bit application
-uses the OpenSceneGraph library and Qt 5.9.5
 
Install instructions:
Extract the content of the zip package to a convenient location.
The LODViewer depends on the Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 C++ libraries. If not already installed on the computer (e.g. by other applications) it has to be installed by running vcredist_x64.exe (you can find it in the redist subfolder of this package).
 
Have fun! And report bugs

I tried to implement the exporter only based on the information I found by investigating LOD files. I'm not a 3D Modeler myself. I only tested the exporter with rather simple object (hierarchies).
The bottom line is that I have no idea if the exporter works for you. So please give feedback.
Note: This plugin requires blender version 2.78 or 2.79. It is not compatible with blender versions 2.8+.
1.) Installation
Open the Blender User Preferences - Add-ons Tab
(File -> User Preferences... -> Add-Ons)
Click "Install from File..."
Browse to and select the exporter python script "io_export_sf2_lod.py"
Click "Install from File..." (or double click on the script name)
In the Add-Ons Tab under Supported Level select Testing and enable "Import-Export: Strike Fighters 2 LOD Exporter"
The LOD exporter is now installed and enabled. Under File -> Export you should see the menu item "Strike Fighters 2 LOD (.lod)". It's greyed out until an exportable object is selected.
2.) Usage
Select the object you want to export and click File -> Export -> Strike Fighters 2 LOD (.lod)
The file browser opens. In the lower left area you see the LOD exporter options:
-enable/disable writing the out file (text file with information about the exported object(s)).
-enable/disable animation export
-allow decals:
    This option is similar to the option in the original TW-Exporter: "Exporting using AllowDecals=0 causes the vertex to be shared, so it can reduce the size of the .LOD but also causes decals to "bleed" along the edges."
    This dialog setting is used as default for all objects to be exported. However, it can be overwritten by each individual object via the custom object property "AllowDecals" = 0(false) or 1(true)
The selected object and all child objects are exported.
Two custom object properties are supported by the exporter:
    -AllowDecals = 0 or 1, This option is similar to the option in the original TW-Exporter: "Exporting using AllowDecals=0 causes the vertex to be shared, so it can reduce the size of the .LOD but also causes decals to "bleed" along the edges."
    -UseFlatNormal = 0 or 1, if set to 1 then all vertex normals are pointing straight up (normal = (0,0,1)) in the objects local coordinate system.
Please note!
 
The objects must meet the following requirements:
-No scaling in the Transform Properties allowed (that means: scale x = y = z = 1.0). If your object has scaling, it should be applied to the mesh (Ctrl-A)
 Scaling is only allowed for animations.
-A material must be assigned to the object. Only the first material of an object is exported.
The following material parameters are exported:
    -Diffuse Color (the lod file format also contains ambient color. Currently the exporter set ambient color = diffuse color)
    -Specular Color
    -Specular Intensity
    -Specular Hardness (I think in 3ds Max it's called glossiness)
    -if "Shading -> Emit" > 0.0 then self illumination is enabled
    -Transparency (if transparency is enabled, then the object doesn't cast and doesn't catch shadow. if transparency is disabled, then the object cast and catch shadow. The specific LOD format version the exporter writes, doesn't support arbitrary cast/catch shadow combinations. The other LOD formats I don't understand enough (yet). Sorry!)
    -Alpha
    -Mirror Reflectivity
    -Diffuse texture image name (as diffuse texture the exporter uses the texture where "Influence -> Diffuse -> Color" is enabled)
    -Normal map texture image name("Influence -> Geometry -> Normal" is enabled and the Normal value is also exported)
    -Specular map texture image name("Influence -> Specular -> Intensity" is enabled)
    -Normal and specular map can only be used together with a diffuse map. (If I exported a normal or specular map without diffuse map, then the LOD wasn't shown in the game or the game crashed. I don't know why...)
    
Animation Export:
    
    This exporter supports the following object animation types: location, rotation and scaling.
    Frames 10, 20, 30, ..., 100 are exported as animation 1
    Frames 110, 120, 130, ..., 200 are exported as animation 2, ...

3.)Credits:
Thanks to logan4 and angelp who provided me with specific lod files that helped me to understand the lod file format better.

4.)Changelog:
Version 0.1:
-initial release
Version 0.2:
-bugfix: didn't work in blender version 0.79
Version 0.3:

After nearly 6 years since my proof of concept experiments with the TOD files I'm ready to release a first version of the TODEditor (could almost be a nominee for the Duke Nukem Forever Award ).
Main Features:
Easy editing of TOD files: cut/copy/paste, moving and rotating of objects Import of object models files: *.lod, *.obj or *.3ds  
Warning:
Use at your own risk. The TODEditor is currently in an early beta stage and can contain serious bugs. So, please backup your terrain files before you work with the TODEditor. I have warned you!
The program is free for whatever use (commercial or personal).
Installation:
Extract the content of the zip package to a convenient location.
The TODEditor depends on the Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 C++ libraries. If not already installed on the computer (e.g. by other applications) they have to be installed by running vcredist_x64.exe (you can find it in the redist subfolder of this package).
Start the program by double click the todeditor.exe.
For further information see TODEditor_readme.txt.
