SF2 Mirage 2000 Foreign Operator Pack
 
 
This is a FULL merged SF2 Pack... Tested up to Mar2012 Updates.
 
Each Foreign Mirage 2000 Operator is included (Full Fleet of each Air Force).
 
 
I have done the following:
 
1. Most of the tweaks on the files
2. All the Mods on the files
3. All the skins on the files (using MF as the base)
4. All the modified weapons on the files
5. 3 separate cockpit glass tint
6. Modified afterburner/effects (tested 4 different one, settle on the one on file)
 
The Air Force included:
 
HAF
Qatar
ROCAF
UAE
EAF
FAB
FAP
HAL
 
I want to thank 'Crusader' for trying to tweak the cockpit by YEYEYE, and for approving the use of the .LODs.
 
The cockpit's main Attitude Inidicator is not model appropriately so the standby is the main ADI.
I have lock the main ADI to only capable of 'yaw'
 
If you want to use the default MF cockpit, just change the name on the MF's cockpit.ini and avionic.ini to correspond with the aircraft's name on file and copy and past to the main files alone with the MF cockpit folder.

F/A-16E Silver Falcon for SF2
 
 
This is my mod of an advanced USAF strike version of the F-16. It is based on the F-16I Sufa by the Viper Team and is released under their permission. Cockpit and avionics are modified to reflect more modern systems. The aircraft has an IRST sensor (special thanks to cocas) but it does not work in game.
 
Skins included:
- 35th FS
- 36th FS
- 80th FS
- 175th FS
- 194th FS
- 510th FS
- 524th FS
- 555th FS
 
Credits:
- The Viper Team for the F-16I Sufa
- cocas for the IRST sensor
- Julhelm for the F-22 pit
- dtmdragon for cockpit and avionics modifications
I hope i didn't forget anyone.
 
To install unzip into your mod folder.
I highly recommend you to download and install The Viper Team's Israeli Vipers (http://combatace.com/files/file/13342-iaf-f-16cdi-by-the-viper-team/) to get all the necessary sounds and effects.
 
IMPORTANT NOTE
This mod was created with full 5-merged SF2. If you don't have SF2 North Atlantic go to the FA-16E.ini and change AvionicsDLL=AvionicsF14A.dll to AvionicsDLL=Avionics70.dll to get your radar to work properly.
 
Because this mod is based on The Viper Team's work, you will need their permission to modify and upload it.

please read the readme.txt for more informations

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
From now on , this new update:
 
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/15169-operation-odyssey-dawn-update/
 
 
It is mandatory to be applied over this MOD.
 
________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
Opération Harmattan---------Operation Ellamy---------Operation Odyssey Dawn--------Operation Freedom Falcon----------Operación Amanecer de la Odisea---------Operation Mobile
 
Version 2.0 HD
 
 
This is the definitive version of the original Operation Odyssey Dawn MOD. It includes a highly reworked version of the original Operation Odyssey Dawn MOD also avaible here at CA.
 
As it is a big package and those are usually difficult to handle by some users I'm going to explain with the higher ammount of details how to install it and how to work with it , so please guys READ this README.
 
 
1) Requirements
 
* A very powefull computer at LEAST with an intel core i5 and 6Gb of RAM, if not loading times will be crazy and gaming horrible as the CPU won't afford the MOD
 
2) Installation
 
* Use a CLEAN , and when I say clean it is a CLEAN MOD folder
* Path the game up to july 2013 if you don't do this the MOD won't work , so you are warned
* Drop everything you have in the 3 .rar files and when it asks you to overwrite say: YES TO ALL
* Rar files are at .rar5 format so please be sure that you use the lastest winrar version
You can also use this program if you have problems unzipping the MOD:
 
http://www.bandisoft.com/bandizip/
* Then everything should work
 
3) If you do the above things , you think that you fullfill the requirements and the MOD does not work properly, What to do?
 
* Any PM sent to me regarding this question WON'T BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT , because I don't want to have 12 PM's asking me the same thing in 3 different languages.
* So to solve the above point I've created a "problem template" , that you must fill and post at the file announce post of this MOD
 
"problem Template"
 
Installation you have:
Path:
Type of problem:
Campaign working (YES/NO):
Air unit of the campaign:
Plane used by the air unit
 
4) Weapons
 
They are included and based in RavenClaw's MOD so , if you miss some of them because I may have forgotten to add them just download this:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/13929-weapons-pack-2/
 
5) Campaign
 
There are more assest than in the original MOD however a lower number of them will be flyable. The reason is the use of many off-map bases.
 
 
6) Credits:
 
"I approve of the mod"

*************************************************************
Jarek Hereda
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mod represents Late model of CH-53A already with instaled EAPS and early models oF CH-53D with uprated engines.
A model never received aux fuel tanks and were used until 1992. At the end of service mostly by reserve units.
D model /early/ was used also until around 1992.  Not every D model was upgraded so in this config they were flying until the 90s.

CHANGES:
I highly recommend to overwrite previous files decals/weapons/guns- or best is delete the old one and put new files.
YOU NEED TO DELETE OLD AIRCRAFT FOLDERS CH-53A and CH-53D_70. Many things were changed and as tested Overwriting may cause some problems...So delete old ones put new ones.
The rest (except Aircraft folders) are same you can be overwrite without fear...
Small changes in ini files, corrections on fuel loadout, changes in cockpit ini. 
Small changes in skins. Also No longer fake weapon "no gun" is needed - thanks to The Trooper. He pointed small fix in data.ini.
Added simple bump and specular maps. Also added damage tgas.
Some changes and rearrangement in the cockpit

******************IMPORTANT******************
FAkePilot mod neede to run this mod. 
As always.
This addon works with my CargoPACK (included in rar file). All of the weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course, you can edit and use any other weapons available. 
Standard commands:

LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. 
ANIMATION 1 - right side hatch and door.
ANIMATION 2 - left hatch cabin windows
ANIMATION 3 - wipers outside/inside
Parking animations.
Two parking animations included one for 'on land base' and other for 'on board' parking.
Im including two vessels moded as USMC nation.(same as in AH-1J pack) so you can practice start and land. 
Those ships have moded catapults, deck and arresting cables in data.ini file. 
Those ships are limited only to those used during Vietnam War on WestPac/SEA cruises.
You can fold tail and rotor by enabling animation in data.ini  file. But it looks silly. And my intention for this animation was eye candy on board vessel.

With little practice, you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
With heavy cargo load probably you need little run on A model as engines on A are little underpowered.
Normally throttle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 70% then slowly more and more, wait and it will take off. 
It is possible to land on board two included ships. don't forget about a hook.
 
Cockpits.
One cockpit based on NATOPS manual, an early model for both A and early D model.

Both models are similar. The only difference is in engine power. D model is 'stronger' so it's easier with heavy loadouts. And only D can tow 'experimental' Mk105 minesweeper.

Skins.
All serial numbers are based on available photos, and USMC documents and are historically correct. 
Weapons.
The only "offensive" weapon is left/right side gunner. Well, it is a quite defensive weapon.
Ah.. there is Napalm barrel bombs. Used in Vietnam War. Inside _WingsOverVietnam_Only Addon Folder
...BOOM.
Cargo loads.
I am releasing this cargo load in current condition. So maybe some skins needs to be adjusted.
Cargo loads include few cargo crates for cargo bay and hook, howitzer, MUTTs. Skins for MUTTS - Thank yo The Trooper.

in 1973 USMC joined NAVY in operation End Sweep and equipped their D model (HMH-463 only) with minesweeping stuff. So here you can "tow" Mk105 minesweeper. It is just interim mk105. V.2 is under development.
To see Mk105 open cargo bay.
IMPORTANT - 
Due to construction of this mod it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard, you may have some complications on airfield - especially with underslung cargo load. 
Countermeasures.
I've deleted Countermeasures from weapon loadout. 

Skins.
All serial numbers, as far as I know, are based on photos and US Army docs and are historically correct.
CH-53A in Vietnam used by HMH-463 and HMH-361.
In mid-80s A model was still in use by some units. One of the last unit to use CH-53A was HMH-772 until 1992 when they send A to AMARC.
Also in mid-80s ( I believe it was in middle or late) US Navy composite squadron VC-1 was using old ex-marine CH-53A until 1992 when they send them to AMARC. I think they were using only these two aircrafts.
CH-53D
Few paintings fro different years,  early green early 80s green and tri-color mid-80s.
HMH-361, HMH-362, HMH-461, HMH-461 - two schemes one - 78 from a trip to Japan and one 1973 during Operation End Sweep.

Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots. 
This mod still needs some work. Will be working on it. 
Have fun.
Edit and report bugs.
Jarek Hereda.
Thanks.

Kamchatka Peninsula 250m heightmesh update with corresponding tweaks and rejuvenated/extended tileset and layout
for Strike Fighters 2, best fully-merged installation
v1.0
by Stary
July 2016
 
 
 
^^^^----------------------------------------------^^^^
 
This is test rebuild of Baltika's and Wrench's Kamchatka terrain, based on Kamchatka v2.0 which is major update to original Baltika's
terrain by Wrench.
 
This is semi-experimental update aimed at demonstrating and testing in wider userbase usage of denser resolution heightmesh.
I can >>not<< guarantee the stability of this terrain due to engine limitations and what I observed and what seems to be slight memory handling issues of the SF2 engine
 
Credits:
Baltika and Wrench for their work on Kamchatka map.
Gerwin for TFD tool and BMP2TFD
Combatace and Thirdwire
All the nice people around here
 
Extended information, please read carefully!
 
The height mesh:
 
The stock Thirdwire .hfd terrain format uses publictly available DEM (digital elevation model) databases to produce 500 meters vertex
spaced terrain meshes with 2000 meters tiles covering them. This is proven, easy to use system but 500 meters is awfully 1999 technology
for 2016 systems. Thus given my efforts into NA LOD-based terrains creation stalled due to lack of knowledge and tools I decided to
reproduce one of more interesting yet obscure maps available, the Kamchatka Peninsula.
The mesh in this download currently uses 250 meters resolution which is twice the density and detail* compared to original terrain.
Please note that due to being based on low resolution hfd file output the actual height representation is somewhat off compared to real terrain!
Not much and not that it really matters much. "If it looks good it is good"
 
New heightmap was created in several steps which I now describe to help other more advanced terrain modders possibly use this method:
 
First steps -Gerwin's TFDTool and Photoshop:
-I used Gerwin's TDF tool to output the heightmap via F9 key
-Also created the textures bitmap as a helper file via F7 key
-The created file in grayscale is 3000x3000, which corresponds to 500m resolution on 1500000m map (3000/2=1500! Magic!)
-Thus I rescaled the file to 6000x6000 pixels, the same with the texture bitmap which I copied to greyscale file for reference
-The 6000x6000 or twice the original is the 250m per pixed heightfield file
-I filled the blue water areas TFDTool creates with pure black 0,0,0
-Then I spent some time in Photoshop working on several layers and using several brushes and tools to slightly tweak the grayscale height
image, mostly to brighten the higher areas and adjust some more interesting places. Mostly blur, stroke tools and some slight wave-y
filers to add some detail to now ARTIFICIALLY pumped up resolution (further on this below)
-Pro tip: to get rid of any water/shore artifacts is easy way, the so called tsunami waves or coast areas on slopes I selected the
texture map layer, selected all water areas (select by pixel color) and created another pure black layer on top of the main height layer,
that drops slight shadows around it (2 to 4 pixels black shadow) -this way the heightmap gets toned down for few pixels (two is good
value) when near the water areas; think smart not hard as The Ancient One says :P
when the heightmap was considered ready I flattened it and converted to 8bit palleted file using the stock Thirdwire terrain editor
palette (you can do this palette by exporting any heightmap as bitmap from within the TE and saving it's palette to file, most programs
allow palette saving)
 
Second step -Thirdwire Terrain Editor, the 042106 version:
so now I had the TE-format palleted 8bit heightmap but to import it without further data loss I needed to adjust the TerrainEditor.ini
settings via notepad:
-the line that specifies the min-max scale of height present in the file is this line:
 
[bitmapImport]
HeightScale=15 <---- this line, by default uses value of 10
MinLandHeight=0 <---- by default 1
 
experimenting with this value gives you the similar results as using PGUP/PGDN keys when using Gerwin's bmp2tfd tool, basically sets the global vertical scaling of min-max values in file
 
To create new 250m resolution the values at creating new map are as follows:
Terrain Map Size: 1500 (km, like original Kamchatka terrain)
Texture Tile Resolution: 2000 (meters, like all common SF2 maps and tilesets)
Height Field Resolution: 250 (meters, compared to defaul 500 meters)
 
Then if you do have the texturelist loaded yo ushould get new flat terrain with textures filling the areas, just impor t he
heightmap from the created 6000x6000 paletted bitmap and save.
This is basic procedure, same can be used to create 125 meters resolution terrains (I did so for Korea3 terrain so far) BUT those are unstable and I am still trying to get
perfect values in BOTH flightengine.ini and given terrain's _data.ini
*now the heihgt information/detail gets lost every time we index the heightmap so one must then increase the HeightScale= value to get
more or less proper -OR GOOD LOOKING height values. Also be warned that Gerwin's TFDTool doesn't properly translate non-standard maps
(1000 kilometers ones go ok though) that is why the TE hassle
That said -the height scale is a bit OFF in this map so if you are a purist complain all you want, I wanted better looking mesh more than
geographical accuracy. To have the latter we need to come up with otehr height data sources for denser terrains. I have yet to look into
the tools and programs I own what could be of use.
 
Installation:
 
Before installing this mod BACKUP your Kamchatka terrain!!! There is possibility you won't get this terrain working at all so I warned
you!
 
To install this exctract the zip and move the content of the included folder to your Kamchatka terrain, overwrite when asked.
 
This way now you have new terrain tfd and hfd files, new inis, TODs and new reworked tileset in both summer nad winter flavours in their respective folders.
The mod has all the nedded tweaks into kamchatka.ini and kamchatka_data.ini already present,
HOWEVER to use this terrain in efficient way (ie, not to experience CTDs when loading the map every signle time) please do adjust few
 
things in your installation:
The essential is making small adjustments to your flightengine.ini file
 
[backgroundSceneClip]
FarClipDistance=70000
 
by default uses value of 80000, and while I now use the original value to prevent possible memory crashes use the 70000 value which lowers the loaded terrain "bubble" around the camera.
Also if you do use very extended trees/objects drawing distances (with or without additions of Mue's extra distance fading shaders) I
recommend lowering the DetailMeshSize= values, start with something like 8 or 10 and try if the map loads for you, can then increase this
further, it might be very VERY system-dependent
 
Known Bugs:
YES this is test and YES you might get constant CTDs when loading missions; might be very computer or installation dependent. I have
medium-high system and work ok with the values I use in inis. Also can't guarantee if some crazy large scale missions wouldn't prevernt the
terrain OR textures to load, as I have hit some engine limitations during more brutal force tests. That is why the tileset, albeit I have
it in 1024px resolution too, is 512 version.
 
Also you should have much less of issues when using ObjectsFade=TRUE and not using Mue's extender draw distance shaders. That is because
the sim engine apparently does not have to load ALL the TODs at once during mission loading, just later when need be.
Anyway that is my assumption, I might be totally wrong
 
Legal stuff:
CA Fair Use license apply, not to be used as base or part of any sort of payware
 
That should be all,
have fun (I hope) and if you are terrain modder, try my method. Again, 500m res is soo 1999 :P

The Dassault-Breguet Super Étendard
 
The Dassault-Breguet Super Étendard (Étendard is French for "battle flag") is a French carrier-borne strike fighter aircraft designed by Dassault-Breguet for service with the French Navy. The aircraft is an advanced development of the Étendard IVM. The Super Étendard first flew in October 1974 and entered French service in June 1978. French Super Étendards have served in several conflicts such as the Kosovo war, the war in Afghanistan and the military intervention in Libya.
 
The Super Étendard was also operated by Iraq and Argentina, who both deployed the aircraft during wartime. The Super Étendard was used by Iraq to attack oil tankers and merchant shipping in the Persian Gulf during the Iraq-Iran War. Argentina's use of the Super Étendard and the Exocet missile during the 1982 Falklands War led to the aircraft gaining considerable popular recognition. In French service, the Super Étendard was replaced by the Dassault Rafale in 2016.
 
Super Étendard in the Falklands War
 
The naval aviation, suffering an arms embargo since 1978 by US President Jimmy Carter for human rights abuses, was in the middle of the process of replacing their A-4Q Skyhawks with French-built Dassault-Breguet Super Étendards. Although only five aircraft were delivered by the time of the conflict, the service became famous worldwide when they used their AM39 Exocet anti-shipping missiles, also purchased from France, to sink the Royal Navy's HMS Sheffield and the support ship Atlantic Conveyor. The older A-4Qs also had a role destroying HMS Ardent.
