Strike Fighters 2 Series by Thirdwire

A complete redraw of the stock TW F-105D models, skins are 2048x2048 with new bump maps.
 
Please read the readme for full details BEFORE installing.

SF2 WW2 P-40N, 74th FS, China Pak 11/30/2013
 
-- Something for the WW2 PTO CBI players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: this pak MAY be usable in 1stGen SF/Wo* game installs. However, some features (decal randomization, jpg format -will need conversiont to bmp) will be functional. Use in 1stGens has not, and cannot be, tested by me.*
 
**Note x2: this mod is designed for use ONLY in a CBI-Centric WW2 mods folder**
 
A simple redecaling for Raven's P-40N20-CU, represents the 74th FS, 23rd FG "Flying Tigers" in late 1943-through the war's end (or, in reality, when they got replaced by Mustangs in late 44).
 
All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. There are no nose arts. Also, via the use of my (patent pending) fake SqTail decal, the squadron name display is now active on the Loadout Screen.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!
 
Good Hunting!!

Object Library 1 by Polak & CFS2 Midway Group 11/30/2013
 
This is the collection, once posted at SimHQ of various and sundry buildings for use by
terrain builders to add a to the target areas when building terrains. It is being
reposted here at CA by request. Originally, it was NOT supposed to be posted elsewhere
(than the original a SHQ), but as so much time has passed ... my judgement call is
sharing is allowed.
 
Thses objects will work perfectly in ANY of the 3W series: SF/Wo* 1stGens, SF2, and
FE/FE2.
This has been tested by me, over the years in ALL versions of the game.
 
While more designed with WW2 Pacific (including CBI) in mind, they can be used even
Europe and North Africa/Med. Well, pretty much anywhere that catches your fancy.
Even unto Modern Times ™.
 
Included, of course, are Polak's original readme, and the config files: a Desert_targets
and Desert_types inis that lists the various objects for importation to other terrains.
 
I've gone through all the skin tgas, and have painted out the odd green color, so they
should look a bit better. However, that does NOT fix certain visual issues with some of
the models from close up and at some angles. Also, there are a couple of them that
simply do NOT work at all; they will cause CTDs or other game issues. Unfortunately, I
don't remember exactly WHICH ones they are.
 
Be adivsed: the _types listing is AS RELEASED in 2007 and/or 2009 (I think I made some
changes back then). It does NOT reflect those change I do when adding them to my terrain
works. This means the destroyed models, destroyed effects and secondary effects listed
are NOT proper and correct. YOU will need to make the adjustments (or locate the object
in the multitude of types inis from MY terrain mods, and copy/paste!)
 
This is =NOT= a package of objects that can be used by the 'general masses'. It is being
rereleased for those terraformers that can actually make use of them.
 
As always READ Polak's readme, enclosed in the 'readme_and_configuration files' folder.
 
Happy Targeting!!

Escalation of Libyan/Egyptian Conflict:
 
In July of 1977, a series of border skirmishes between the neighboring countries escalates into a full blown conflict. After a botched attempt at a peace agreement, Libya invades Egypt and the Arab. The rest of the Arab world, urging for peace, vows to stay out of the conflict while the Soviet Union sends military aid to Libyan and the United States vows to support Egypt as well as equiping its new regional ally with advanced F-4E fighters.
 
This is a "what if?" campaign. Lots of good planes on both sides. Also, lots of similar types on both sides, which makes for some interesting Air to Air engagements.

...and make them flyable. Stary has awesome new MiG-19 pits, there are MiG-21 pits out there, and the MirageIIIO pit works well for the radar equipped Mirage and the Nesher/Mirage5BA pit for the others.
 
Thanks to Wrench for the very nice terrain.
Thanks to those who have worked tirelessly on making stock AI planes flyable with awesome new pits.
Thanks to CombatAce.com for being the best place for all your flight sim needs!

This mod extends the in game life of the F-105 to match the real 1981 through 1984 retirements. It
features skins for the early 70's, late 70's, early 80's and a special skin featuring the noseart of the
149th TFS of the Virginia ANG. The markings are as accurate as I can find through several days of searching
the web for photos of the listed units.
 
- Required: You will need SF2, SF2 Europe or SF2 Vietnam for the stock F-105D_66.
 
- Included: Skins for 4 ANG and 3 AFRES F-105 operators. I have not included the Georgia ANG as that is
represented in the F-105G mod.
Also Included is an F-105F_66 aircraft. While the majority of F's were
used as Weasels, conversion and proficiency traning still had to take place. Every Thud fighter squadron
had at least 1 F on the books.
Data.ini's have been edited also to reflect proper service years.
 
- Credits: The Wrench, for his rerelease of ArmourDave's F-105F pack, as well as a few parts of TGAs that I
used from his F-100D ANG skinpack.He even answered a stupid question by yours truly.
 
TK, for the stock Thuds and ability to mod this game we call SF2.
and me? well i just
 
 
//////////////////////////////// THUD ANG AND AFRES UNITS ////////////////////////////////////////////////

beta v 0.8
 
********************************
 
 
INSTALLATION:-
 
For SF2 series, drop the NZ folder into the "Terrains" folder in the Mod folder.
 
The default NZ_data.ini file is set up for SF2.
 
If you are unfamiliar with the Mod folder concept in SF2, read this:-
 
http://combatace.com/topic/62302-what-is-the-mod-folder/
 
*********************************
 
For WoX/SFP1 series, drop the NZ folder into your Terrain folder in your main game install.
 
Use the NZ_DATA.INI file in the "Use in WoX" folder.

Baltika's musings:
 
Ironically, this is one of the first terrain projects I started, but has taken a very long time to reach this stage. Other things have taken priority at various times, but I always came back to this. I confess it has been sitting on my hard drive for some time. I have reviewed various WIPs and decided that, given the development lead in time for terrain projects is so long, it is better to release such projects as they reach advanced beta stage.
 
Targetisation is rather "cut & paste" for now. I will update the targets.ini as and when time permits. Meantime, all tiling work is finished, all runways plotted and flattened, and all target areas set. All mission types are activated for Red and Blue flyable forces.
 
Comments, feedback, bug reports and Single Malt Whisky to Baltika ;-)
 
Real life purists may wish to note that there are various remnants of the Third Age crumbling in the mountains - although some of them still have bite, so fly carefully!
 
Slàinte mhòr!

Fokker T.V
 
The Fokker T.V was a twin-engine bomber, described as an "aerial cruiser",built by Fokker for the Netherlands Air Force.
It was modern for its time, but by the German invasion of 1940, it was outclassed by the airplanes of the Luftwaffe. Nevertheless, the T.V was used with some success against the German onslaught.

Fokker G1
The Fokker G.I was a Dutch heavy twin-engined fighter plane comparable in size and role to the German Messerschmitt Bf 110 and the British Mosquito. Although in production prior to World War II,
its combat introduction came at a time when the Netherlands was overrun. The few G.1s that were mustered into service were able to score some victories, but ultimately the aircraft was withdrawn from operations,
and the remainder of the production run was taken over by the Luftwaffe as trainers.

The Yak-23 was developed as a simple lightweight jet fighter, on Yakovlev's own initiative.
It was a development of the earlier Yak-15 and Yak-17 fighters, retaining their non-conventional layout with a jet engine in the fuselage nose and exhaust under the cockpit, but the construction was all new.
Its wings were derived from the Yak-19.
The Yak-23 used a Soviet copy of the British Rolls-Royce Derwent V turbojet engine, produced as the Klimov RD-500. It first flew on July 8, 1947.
After successful flights, it underwent state trials in 1948 and was accepted for series production.
It was evaluated as highly maneuverable, with a good acceleration and take-off and climb capabilities thanks to high thrust-to-weight ratio.
Faults were poor directional stability at speeds around Mach 0.86 and lack of cockpit pressurization.
Despite being one of the best straight-wing jet fighters, it was inferior to new swept-wing designs.

This is pack of 3 skins of Baltic Countries for

Hurricane Mk1 - Belgium 1940
 
This skin is for Ravens' Hurricane Mk1. Not much has been changed from the original template so most of the credit for this skin must go tho him.
 
********************************
 
In an attempt to modernise their fighter force the Belgians ordered 20 Hurricanes and obtained a licence to build a further 80 of which only one (H42) was delivered to the air force.
 
It seems only 11 Hurricanes were serviceable at the outbreak of hostilities. These were all based at Schaffen as part of 2/I/2 Ae (No. 2 Squadron of No. 1 Group of No. 2 Air Regiment). 8 Hurricanes were lost at Schaffen to the Luftwaffe attack on 10 May 1940.

Hi! This is another armed cargo ship. This time, it has M-1939 and ZPU-1 AAA. It's just another ini edit. Just unzip and drag to your Groundobjects folder. It's a new ship, so no overwrite is needed. I am planning to make a new one, but this time with deadly SAMs. I hope you like it!

This is cockpit for North Atlantic's native Yak-38 Forger carrier-based VTOL fighter.

80th Fighter Group
The Burma Banshees
This is a semi-historical skin of the 89th Fighter Squadron of the 80th Fighter Group for Raven's P-40N20-CU. It is semi-historical because I have used any skull I could find to create these, and some are from the 88th and 90th squadrons of the 80th FG. This doesn't make the skin totally inaccurate, because there were similarities between the skulls for all three P-40 squadrons of the group (the 459th flew P-38s).
 
Some skulls I've created are alterations of skulls I've found, but again this isn't totally inaccurate, because in photos found in the Philip Adair collection you'll see two P-40s sitting side by side with almost identical skulls. All the skulls here were painted by me, using decals or photos as a guide, altering the proportions where necessary to account for the fact they were on a curved surface. Some skulls don't cover the same area of the nose they did in real life, because of bending and stretching problems caused by the use of decals.
 
Where I could find photographic evidence of a skull/aircraft number/serial number combination, I've used it, the rest have generic serials derived from the Joe Baugher site.
 
I've included the following named aircraft. Some have accurate skull/number combos, if I could find complete information, some are best guesses:
 
Lulu Belle II
The Rough Cobb
Joe Aztec
Joanne
Butter Bean II
Miss Frances III
 
No matter what their flaws, I think they make a cool appearance in game. I know we don't have an updated CBI for them to operate in, but perhaps some day we will. I created them because they were one of the most unusual P-40 groups out there in a world that seemed dominated by shark mouths. I hope you enjoy them.
 
Simply unzip the enclosed .rar to a location on your computer and open the readme for complete installation instructions. Designed for a full five merged installation of SF2. You'll have to make your own alterations for SF1, and I cannot guarantee they'll work.
 
I've used Raven's wonderful template to create these. I've added my own weathering and dirt layers, so any flaws are solely my own.
 
I strongly recommend that you download and install Wrench's Southwest Pacific P-40N pack located here first:
http://combatace.com/files/file/14278-sf2-ww2-pto-p-40n-usaaf-swpa-skinpak/
It has some goodies in it that you'll want to have.
 
This skin is Freeware. It is not to be used in any Payware project, or file.

SF2 WW2 ETO RAF Catalina (PBY-5a) Skin/Ini Pak 11/11/2013
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
A new skin, and some ini updates for Veltro's Catalina. This skin is for No.210 Squadron, RAF Costal Command as seen approx late 1941. This is an ETO =ONLY= skin, so install the aircraft accordingly!!!
 
This skin/ini package is to be applied to the PBY-5A Reissue Pak, available at the following url:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/14092-sf2-ww2-pby-5a-catalina-by-veltro2k/
 
You are =exceedingly= advised to back up some of the inis, and these are listed in the "To Install" section. Also, see the "Notes" section for historical comments.
 
All new 100% historically accurate serials numbers are included. It should ben noted, that although the serials ARE aircraft used by 210 Squadron, there was no way to match plane-in-group letter to serial. Also, as stated in the "Notes" section, these are for Catalina II/IIa/III Flying Boats.
Decal Randomizations is TRUE. ALL markings are decals, making it extra easy for other skinners to create other squadrons.
The skin itself is in jpg format. An RAF-only Catalina hangar screen is also included (making use of the skin-specific type allowed in SF2).
 
To fly the aircraft, select the PBY-5A from the drop-down, and choose "Royal Air Force" for the service.
 
Included are updated data, loadout and userlist inis. Also included are 2 version of the Mk.XII British torpedo - one a standard torp, the other an experimental "cruise missile" type, ala SF2NA (hence, the Full-5 merged requirement).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them before installing!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for the change list, and other stuff that might be interestering in general.
 
Good Hunting!!

This is an upgrade and major enhancement for the stock Third Wire A-4E, H, & F Ahits (Skyhawks). The standard TW Ahits have a few issues with their historical accuracy. This mod corrects those issues and even adds a few more aircraft to the Ahit family.
 
 
Instillation: As usual simply drop into your mods folder and allow it to override when prompted. (This is important as there are changes to some of the aircraft.ini files etc)
 
Strike Fighters 2 Israel plus either Strike Fighters 2 or Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam are required.
 
 
 
Changes include:
 
 
- The A-4H Ahit was not delivered with a downgraded engine. It had the same J52-P8A engine as the F model Skyhawk. Israel latter upgraded the engines of the H and F Ahits to the P-408A as used in the A-4M and N Skyhawks.
 
- The 30mm cannons fitted to the A-4H Ahit were fitted at a 2.5 degree downward angle due to the emphasis the IAF placed on strafing after the Six Day war. However in reality it was less than ideal as there was no change to the A-4 gun sight so aiming proved quite difficult until the introduction of the HUD in the Crystal upgrade.
 
- A-4E Ahit was delivered with the avionics hump of the F model Skyhawk. The hump was installed in US Navy service in anticipation of receiving ECM equipment but these aircraft were delivered to Israel instead. Because it was empty the hump was initially removed in Israeli service.
 
- The A-4E Ahit was also refitted with 30mm cannons. However due to the problems encountered with the angle of instillation in the H model Ahit they were installed at a 1.5 degree downward angle in the E models.
 
- US Emergency Aid Skyhawks: During the Yom Kippur war A-4E as well as A-4F Skyhawks were sent to Israel as replacements for IAF A-4 losses during the war. These A-4E Skyhawks had the same standard of avionics as the F models.
 
- Additional early textures added to the A-4H Ahits with the Star Of David on the rear fuselage and two digit aircraft numbers.
 
- Additional texture added with the US 'Stars and Bars' and US Navy numbers which the A-4H wore during test flights in the USA.
 
- Textures modified so there are no squadron colors on the rudder before 1976.
 
- Textures modified so aircraft numbers are not on both the nose and vertical stabilizer at the same time before 1976. Before then the aircraft number was on either the nose or the vertical stabilizer- not both. Where it was largely depended on which squadron operated the aircraft.
 
- The hump and corresponding avionics upgrade that appear on the A-4H Ahit (73) and A-4E Ahit (73) were known as the Crystal upgrade. This upgrade was designed to bring the Ahit fleet up to the standard of the A-4N Skyhawk/Ahit so this upgrade also included a basic heads up display with computerized weapons aiming. This upgrade would also be applied to the US Emergency Aid A-4E and F Ahits after end of the Yom Kippur war.
 
- The triangular antenna behind the normal UHF/VHF antenna on the hump of the A-4H/E Ahits (73) as well as one of the nose antennas did not appear on the aircraft till the mid 80's
 
- Loadouts: the stock Ahit loadouts are not unrealistic but they certainly aren't the most realistic. As such they have all been redone to include things such as the use of the Walleye in the anti-amour role by particular aircraft etc.
 
- Opening canopy.
 
- Landing light.
 
- Cockpit armor changed to the same as the A-4F which the A-4H is meant to based on.
 
- Yom Kippur and Lebanon War campaigns edited to include additional aircraft and weapons where appropriate.
 
 
 
The Ahits will now appear in the game as follows:
 
 
A-4E Ahit - Delivery of ex US Navy Skyhawks in 1971 fitted with an empty hump, no ECM and no chaff dispenser.
 
A-4E Ahit (72) - The empty hump is removed in Israeli service, the aircraft are also re-fitted with 30mm cannons at a 1.5 degree downward angle.
 
A-4E Ahit (73) US Emergency Aid - US Navy A-4E Skyhawks with avionics hump and standard USN avionics rushed to Israel during the Yom Kippur War to replace Ahit losses.
 
A-4E Ahit (73) Crystal Upgrade - A-4E Ahits upgraded under project Crystal with ECM, RHAW, countermeasure dispensers, updated weapons delivery system, updated navigation system and a HUD. An extended tailpipe is also fitted.
 
A-4F Ahit US Emergency Aid - US Navy A-4F Skyhawks with standard USN avionics rushed to Israel during the Yom Kippur War to replace Ahit losses.
 
A-4F Ahit (74) Crystal Upgrade - US Emergency Aid A-4F Ahits are upgraded to the same standard as the project Crystal A-4H Ahits with a HUD, updated weapons delivery system, updated navigation system, 30mm cannons, extended tailpipe and P-408A engine.
 
A-4H Ahit - Specific model Skyhawk for Israel based on the A-4F with deliveries starting in 1968. The A-4H had a downgraded weapons and avionics capability.
 
A-4H Ahit (70) - Aircraft are re-fitted with 30mm cannons at a 2.5 degree downward angle.
 
A-4H Ahit (72) - Israel begins replacing the J52-P8A engine with the more powerful J52-P-408A and restoring/ expanding the aircrafts weapon capabilities.
 
A-4H Ahit (73) Crystal Upgrade - A-4H Ahits are upgrade under project Crystal with ECM, RHAW, countermeasure dispensers, updated weapons delivery system, updated navigation system and a HUD. An extended tailpipe is also fitted.
 
A-4H Ahit (84) Crystal Upgrade - Additional external antenna on the avionics hump and nose of the aircraft are installed.

This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire Spitfire F Mk 24 to give a fictional Fuerza Aérea Argentina Spitfire with equally fictitious markings for Grupo 6 de Caza (sorry about the low number of serial number decals but it wasn't originally intended for release and is released 'as is' as a request).
 
You will need to have the 'AI Plane Pack 2' DLC from Third Wire.
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Spitfire24_FAA folder into your Aircraft folder.
 
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Spitfire24_FAA folder into your main Decals folder.
 
At this point it might be a good idea to change the pilot to whatever you've got in your install suitable for the early post-war period.
 
 
CREDITS
 
Thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.
 
And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community and remember to wear your poppy with pride.

Version 1 - 11/11/13

VERY IMPORTANT.............
 
This aircraft uses the Third Wire Lightning53 cockpit, so it will only work if you have Exp2 installed.
 

This is a fictional RAF Sea Vixen made from the original model by Skippybing.
 
 
It is now a single seat aircraft, new electronics & avionics are taking up the place of the second crew member!
 
The engines have been replaced by afterburning units like used in the lightning, also 2 cannons were added into the lower nose section along with air to ground radar.
