    1. SF2 WW2 ETO, "D-Day" Spitfire IX Blank Skin set

      SF2 WW2 ETO, "D-Day" Spitfire IX Blank Skin set 1/12/2015
       
      -- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
       
      = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (w/whichever Expansion Pak gave us the Spitfire IXc) =
       
      Using my Home Grown Templates ™ for the stock 3rd Wire Spirfire 9c, this skin set adds the D-Day Invasion stripes set.
      This is a "blank" skin, with no marking other than the Invasion Stripes, and can be used with any of the available decal sets for the stock Mk.IXc AND Mk.IXe. A simple rename of the textures will allow it's usage on either one. See "Notes" for more details.
       
      The stripes represented here are the 'full' set, top/bottom of wings and fully wrapping around the fuselage, as used from June 6, 1944 to approx September 44 (ish). The Sky ID band has been omitted, although photographic evidence exists of it having been used, even with the Invasion stripes. Yellow wing IFF bands remain.
       
      REMINDER-- this is not a 'full' ready-to-use skin pak. The folder is just named "DDAY" for convience. You'll have to create specifically named skin folders (ie: 411-DDay, for example) for proper, historical usage.
       
      There is no decals or texture set inis included -- however, a "base" texture set showing the in-game labeling is included, but NOT usable per se. It's just there to show how to set the Displayed Name labeling.
      As the mapping for both the 9c and 9e is identical, as are their respective decal positions, any of the existing Spifire 9 decal sets can be reused with this skin.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them !!!.
       
      Happy Hunting!

    2. StrikeFighter2 Hi-Res 1024x768 Stock Campaign Images Upgrade!

      StrikeFighter2 Hi-Res 1024x768 Stock Campaign Images Upgrade!
      By Viper
       
      This mod includes replacements for ALL (that's right, ALL) stock campaign images from SF2 to SF2NA. I extracted the MENUDATA.CAT and upgraded all the images I found there. Then I used the Mission.ini and text files to rebuild the "Campaigns" folders! So, this should be complete unless I missed something. If I did, let me know. No other (Hangar, Loading) images or INI files are changed.
       
      1) UNZIP the file and preview the new images. I recommend doing this as there are some alternate images I have in there that you might like better.
       
      2) BACKUP your "Campaigns" folder so you can restore your original set up if you don't like this mod.
       
      3) INSTALL/COPY the "Campaigns" folder into your disired StrikeFighter2 "Saved Game" folder.
       
      My Win97 folders were..(yours may be different)...
       
      C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2\
      C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Vietnam\
      C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Europe\
      C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Israel\
      C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 NorthAtlantic\
       
      4) When/if asked, choose overwrite on any conflicts.
       
      That's it! Enjoy!

    3. FA-18 Series Update by The Hornet Team

      F/A-18A/B/C/D Version 2.0
       
      11 Jan 2015
       
      Streamlined the mod, took out some of the skins to make the package smaller, fixed many ini problems. Add missing hangar and loadng screens. Deleted loose files. Made it more user friendly and complete package.
       
      Dave USAFMTL Slavens
      -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The Hornet Team:
      Original Model by BPAO and the Mirage Factory, updated by FastCargo.
      New pit by Brain32 with Crusader, Brain and CB34 doing the avionics.
      Skins by Siddog, Dave and EricJ.
      Crash test Dummy: Caeser
      Pilots: by Diego
      Seats: Julhelm and Ravenclaw
      Weapons by Ravenclaw, wpnssgt and others.
      Loadouts and variant shred out by CrazyhorseB34 who put a lot of effort into researching this part of the package. Its highly recommended you use the loads he made or you will have problems.
      If I forgot anyone let me know in a PM and I will correct it.
      To install:
      C:\Users\xxxxxxx\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 directory.
       
       
      Previous readme info below.
      Fixed decals and skins. Recommend deleting all the other skins and using these to get rid of excess files.
      Added missing drop tanks and added Ravenclaws weapons.
      This package is beta and to be honest we are all sick of looking at it. So here is the deal. You find something wrong and the community agrees, send it to me and I will keep the package updated. We just need fresh eyes on it. There is a new pit by Brain32 that is amazing.

    4. SF2 Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens

      StrikeFighter2 Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens
      By Viper
       
      This mod includes custom StrikeFighter2 menu screens and pilots. No other (Hangar, Loading or Campaign) screens or INI files are changed. You should unzip the file and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better.
       
      If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up your MENU, FLIGHT and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
       
      To install, simply unzip and copy the Flight and Menu folder to your StrikeFighter2 Mod folder.

    5. SF2 WW2 MTO Spitfire Mk.IX, Polish Fighting Team Skinpak

      SF2 WW2 MTO Spitfire Mk.IX, Polish Fighting Team Skinpak 1/8/2015
       
      -- Something for the Med players --
       
      = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      *This mod will NOT work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level. One should also have the SF2I expansion pak, that gave us the Spitfires, as this mod REQUIRES the 3W Spitfire Mk.IX,
       
      This package contains a new skin for MTO (specificly Tunisian) based RAF Spitfire Mk.IXs. It represents
       
      "C" Flight, No. 145 Squadron, aka "Polish Fighting Team"
       
      All marking are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE for the 16 plane-in-squadron and serial number decals. Serial numbers marked with a star (*) are 100% historically matched to their plane-in-squadron number. Those marked with a cross (+, ok the plus sign!), while having served with the PFT, could not be matched to a specific aircraft. Those without any markings, are 'generic'. It should be noted, that the PFT used numbers, instead of letter for their individual IDs.
      Please note, this is just the skin/decal set. I've not included any of the bits needed to make the aircraft Player Flyable ™. There's plenty of other mods that do this.
       
      When in game, on the Loadout Screen, you'll see
       
      Polish Fighting Team (145 Sqdn)
       
      in the upper right skin selection drop down.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
       
      Good Hunting!

    6. [Renewed] YFA-5 Tactical Tiger

      This is a mod of Mirage Factorys F-5E Tiger II to make it look like a fictional plane for the US air force.
       
      BACKGROUND:
       
      The need for a fast, agile and versatile attack plane led to the construction of this plane. The R&D department of Northrop Grumman went a more unorthodox way: They took the F-5E Tiger II contruction plans and started modyfing some of the parts and remodeling the fuselage, wings and interior fuselage ompartments. The improvements were astonishing, even for the engineers from Northrop Grumman. The entire hull is composed of a titanium alloy coating a skeleton of carbon fibre and a steel/titanium alloy, making possible a high loadout both under the wings and fuselage.
       
      General Electric improved the former engines of this plane replacing the injection system, using less parts and reducing the weight of the engines by using different materials. This improvements lets the engine develop more than 30% dry and wet thrust than before.
       
      Also the avionics and the radar got modified enabling the use of the most air-air and air-ground-weapons. The radar used is the AN/APG-70V1.
       
      This made necessary the removal of the left gun leaving the muzzle there for cooling purpose of the new and advanced electronic equipment. The right gun was replaced with a 20mm M61A1-Gatling Gun.
       
      The "TacTiger" made its maiden flight on the 18th of October of 2011 and entered service in 2012.
       
      The Upgrade Includes :
       
      - AN/APG-70V1 AESA RADAR
      - NEW AVIONICS
      - ATFLIR TARGETING POD
      - AN/ALQ-13 NAVIGATION POD
      - IFF SYSTEM
      - NEW ENGINES
      - NEW FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
      - ENHANCED FLIGHT MODEL
      - JHMCS PILOT
      - NEW ECM JAMMING SYSTEM
       
      ARMAMENT :
       
      - AIM-9X SIDEWINDER
      - AIM-120C AMRAAM
      - ALL GPS GUIDED BOMB TYPES
      - GBU-12D PAVEWAY 500LB LASER GUIDED BOMB
      - GBU-24B PAVEWAY II 2000LB LASER GUIDED BOMB
      - AGM-65G MAVERICK TV GUIDED MISSILE
      - L003 ECM JAMMING POD
       
       
      INSTALLATION:
      Simply drop the Folders into your Strike Fighters Mods Folder.
       
       
      CREDITS:
      Thanks to all the people of the Mirage Factory for this plane and to Macelena for adapting it to SF2 Standards.

    8. Guardians of the GUIK Gap

      Guardians of the GUIK Gap
      Submarine Hunters of the Atlantic
       
      Year: 1979
      Flyable Services: French Navy
      Carrier Operations: Yes
      Naval Combat: ASW / Convoy Attacks
      Ground War Scale: None
      What to expect: A lot of flying over Open Water looking for Subs.
       
      September 1979.
      As the Soviet Army invades West Germany, an entire division of Soviet Airborne troops parachute onto Iceland.
       
      As the US Navy moves to recapture the Island (Operation Northern Sabre) the French is asked by NATO to guard the GIUK Gap against Soviet Forces.
       
      As a Alizé pilot, you are to prevent any submarines from attacking the Clemenceau, sink enemy transports bringing reinforcements to Iceland
      and work alongside your squadron to secure victory for NATO in this vital sector.
       
      Honneur, patrie, valeur, discipline!
       
      Please note:
      This campaign is best played with visual and targeting aids on difficult setting. It becomes a tad too easy otherwise.
       
      Installation:
      This mod requires Strike Fighters 2 North Atlantic and Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam OR French F-8E (FN) Crusader DLC.
       
      Install into the Strike Fighters 2 Mod Folder of your choice, usually found at
      C:\Users\YOURNAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFigthers2
       
      While this Campaign and assets are made to work together with other minor campaigns and mods, I cannot guarantee
      compatibility. Allow overwrites or use a separate folder.
       
      For credits, please read (and actually do it too!) the file named "Credits". I could not do what I do
      without all these talented people!

    15. Dassault Mirage 5PA - Pakistan Air Force

      Dassault Mirage 5PA for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
       
      This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire Dassault Mirage 5F to give a Mirage 5PA in service with the Pakistan Air Force and with markings for the Combat Commanders' School and also for No.25 squadron. Photographs show many changes during the lifetime of the PAF's Mirage 5PA's so this can only be regarded as generic and a snapshot in time.
       
      Both the Mirage 5F and the Nesher cockpit are needed for this mod.
       
       
      INSTRUCTIONS
       
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Mirage5PA folder into your Aircraft folder.
       
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Mirage5PA folder into your Decals folder.
       
      3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_PAF into your Pilots folder.
       
       
      CREDITS
       
      As always, thanks to TK for a great little game/sim.
       
      Special thanks to ghostrider883 for the idea, PAF skin and research.
       
      And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
       
      Regards

    16. [Fictional] McDonnell Douglas F-4B Phantom 'COAN'

      McDonnell Douglas F-4B 'COAN' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
       
      This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-4B_67 to give a fictional Phantom F-4B 'COAN' as it might have appeared in service with the Comando de Aviación Naval Argentina and includes fictional markings for;
       
      1st Escuadrilla Aeronaval de Caza y Ataque (1st Fighter/Attack Squadron).
       
      3rd Escuadrilla Aeronaval de Caza y Ataque (3rd Fighter/Attack Squadron).
       
      This little update introduces folderised decals, a new Pilot figure and a modern Argentinian aircraft carrier which looks suspiciously like the CVA-63 Kittyhawk to me. This carrier is optional and you should really only use it if you have Strike Fighters:North Atlantic.
       
       
      INSTRUCTIONS
       
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-4B_COAN folder into your Aircraft folder.
       
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-4B_COAN folder into your Decals folder.
       
      3. From the GROUND OBJECTS folder drag and drop the BernardinoRivadavia folder into your Ground Objects folder.*
       
      4. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_COAN into your Pilots folder.
       
      5. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the AM39 folder into your Weapons folder.
       
      * You'll really need to add 'ArgentineNavy' to the limited nations section of the ICELANDNA_NATIONS data.ini (which you'll need to extract). Doing this yourself will allow you to align the Argentine Navy to a 'colour' of your choice.

    18. SF2 KAW F-86F Sabre Fighter-Bomber Units Skin Pak

      SF2 KAW F-86F Sabre Fighter-Bomber Units Skin Pak 1/1/2015
       
      = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      *Note: There is a distinct probability that this mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo*
      1stGen game installs at any patch level. End Users ™ that attempt it, do so at
      their own risk. A Full 5 Merged install is reccomened at the LATEST patch level.*
       
      This is an add on pack for use with the KAW Sabres Pak availalbe at the following
      URL:
      http://combatace.com/files/file/13604-sf2-korean-war-era-f-86-sabre-pak/
       
      This pack is for Fighter-bomber units in the 1953-ish time frame, and represent
      units that transitioned to the Sabre from other aircraft (Mustangs and Shooting
      Stars).
       
      Skins/decal sets are for the following units...
       
      67th FBS, 18th FBW (in it's mid-1953 markings)
       
      35th FBS
      36th FBS
      80th FBS, 8th FBG (Wing?)
       
      All skins are in jpg format, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. Almost all markings
      are decals, excepting Squadron/Group/Wing markings on the tails and/or nose.
      These are painted on.
      The serial/buzz numbers are 75-80% historically accurate. In each skin's Number.lst, those marked with a
      star (*) are 100% matched to their unit. Those marked with a cross (ok, the plus
      sign, +) served with that Group/Wing, but could not be matched to a particular
      squadron. Those with no mark, are 'generic' F-86F-30 serials
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included.
      So, please read them.
       
      Good Hunting!

    19. SF2 A-4F VA-164 'Ghost Riders' 1973

      A-4F Skyhawk, VA-164 'Ghost Riders' Vietnam 1973 Skinpack
       
      *** SF2V required for A-4F-model, tested in full 5-merged installation ***
       
      The skin represents A-4Fs from VA-164 'Ghost Riders' in 1973 aboard the carrier USS Hancock in Vietnam.
      All BuNo are correct for this squadron, but unfortunately I couldn't find the correct assignment for all modex to BuNo.
       
      This pack contains another version of "Lady Jessie", this time the wellknown version with big letters on the fuselage. In 1973 VA-164 was on another combat-cruise in Vietnam. Carrier Air Wing CVW-21, which VA-164 was part of, was tasked with the responsibility, to develop expertise in unique mission types. For example VA-55 was tasked with Iron Hand missions, while VA-164 was to develop tactics to use Laser Guided Weapons at its best. Some A-4F were equipped with Laser Spot Trackers instead of the ususal Radar in the nose, so that LGBs could be used on designated targets. As these were only trackers, a special Designator was needed. For that case, 2 TA-4F were borrowed from USMC squadrons. A 2nd crewmember with a handheld-device to designate the targets was placed on the 2nd seat. Those people were volunteers from other squadrons, that usually flew E-1B or RF-8/F-8. As the handheld-device had to be held steady for a proper designation while the plane was flying, it was a not well-like job to do. But in the end, it proved successful and led to the development of build-in laserdesignators.
       
      The pack consists of 2 parts:
       
      - a skin for the stock A-4F, which cannot use laser-guided bombs (LGB). So this is only for the looks. Select the skin in the loadout-screen of the stock A-4F.
       
      - a modification of the stock A-4F to use LGB. Ingame you will find a new plane - "A-4F (Laser Spot Tracker)" to choose. It also has a different gunsight and shows laser designated targets. For the laser-designator you have 2 options. First is to use the plane as is, meaning, you only can use LGBs on primary targets as they're always designated. The radarscreen is just black in that case, because the planes didnt have a radar anymore. Second, you use the Laser designator from the loadout screen and can use LGBs on every target. I included a modified AVQ-23 (modded from the stock one) for that purpose. It is not shown externally and is a compromise for playability-reasons. The radar-screen shows the target if you have selected one.
       
      Planes marked with * are the LST-equipped ones (401, 407, 411, 413, 414), which have the different nosecone. 401 and 407 are confirmed by pictures, the other 3 are in for a good mix. There were more than 2 of them, but I couldn't find more numbers or other pictures.
       
      Installation
      ============
      1. unzip to a temporary folder
      2. open "Put_In_Your_Mod folder" and do as you were told, if asked to overwrite, say 'yes' :P
      3. enjoy!

    20. SF2 WW2 MTO Spitfire Mk.V LF Pak by Cocas

      SF2 WW2 MTO Spitfire Mk.V LF Pak by Cocas & Co 12/28/2014
       
      -- Something for the Med players --
       
      = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      *This mod will NOT work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level. One should also have the SF2I expansion pak, that gave us the Spitfires, as this mod references that stock 3W destroyed Spitfire model*
      Note x2: This mod represents Mk.V LFs in the MTO =ONLY=. Please note, it is NOT a Trop!
       
      This is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co.
      We are calling this "version 0.9", as there exists the possibility of more work being required. But, we wanted to get them out into the hands of our WW2 End Users ™ for their examination and so forth. It was supposed to be released in the early part of 2014 (Feb/March), but I totally forgot about it!!
      Skins included with the package are:
      RAF:
       
      No. 601 Squadron
       
      All marking are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Other squadrons can easily be done by creating new squadron code letters. An SF2 version of my "box art" style hangar is included.
      The serial numbers, while 'generic' in nature (representing no particular aircraft in any given squadron), ARE correct for the variant depicted.
      The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0. Guns are also grouped, MGs in Group 1, the cannon in Group 2.
       
      When in game, you'll see:
       
      Spitfire Mk.Vc LF (CAF)
       
      on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate =THIS= Spitfire from any other LF Mk.Vs you may (or may not) have.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
       
      Good Hunting!

    25. SF2 KAW Era C-47A 21st TCS SkinPak

      SF2 KAW Era C-47A 21st TCS SkinPak 12/30/2014
       
      = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      *You MUST have SF2I as part of you merged install, as that's where the Skytrain comes from. If you don't, do not download this mod as it will do you no good!!*
       
      A new, revamped version of the skin found in Paulopanz' C-47 Pak. This has a new replacment natual metal skin for the:
       
      21st Troop Carrier Squadron, aka "The Kyushu Gypsies"
       
      as seen during the Korean Conflict.
      All markings (exepting the tail band) are decals; decal randomization is TRUE. Serial numbers are 100% historically accurate for this unit. Please note, 2 or 3 of these aircraft were "on loan" to the USAF from several UN Allied forces (Greece, iirc). They are also accurate, but carry the American insignias.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
       
      Happy Landings
