Strike Fighters 2 Series by Thirdwire

Desert Duel:
 
June 1, 1981. After the war in 1975, Dhimar has become the undisputed greater economic power in the region. With their increased wealth due to rising oil prices the Dhimari decide to invest in a stronger millitary to counter the ever-looming threat of their southern neighbors.
 
Seeing that Dhimar is purchasing new advanced weaponry such as F-16 fighters and new Sidewinder "L" missiles, Paran launches a full scale attack on the Kingdom of Dhimar before they can continue the military buildup with stronger ground forces.
 
Divisions of Parani troops and heavy armor are rolling north under a cloud of MiGs. The Dhimari military is scrambling to repel the onslaught. Their new hardware is about to be put to the ultimate test.
 
 
Nothing groundbreaking or terribly creative here. This is a simple campaign, based on the stock Desert Fury campaign with mostly stock aircraft. I wanted a Paran vs Dhimar campaign with no foreign forces. Fly Dhimari aircraft including the MirageIII & 5, F-4E, A-4, F-16A, Kfir, Lightning and F-104. I've enjoyed playing this campaign, and maybe someone else will too.
 
Requirements :
StrikeFighters 2
Strikefighters 2 Israel
Strikefighters 2 Europe
 
Optional: (included)
Flyable F-104G, files by Thirdwire for SF1, thanks to Wrench for "how to" in Combatace.com forum.
 
...also, in my personal install I opened the .ini files for each Israeli aircraft and changed the names from the Hebrew to the American (ex. Netz to Falcon, Kurnass to Phantom, Nesher to Mirage5). It's really personal preference and just a suggestion.

Expansion Pak. This has NOT been tested**
 
A new skin for WW2/Post-War Mustangs that adds 100 nose arts decals, culled from various and
sundry other skins/projects I've done, plus several new ones. Some are historically accurate for
the period depicted; Some will be 'anachronistic' for the late 1940s, but that's part of the fun!
A new P-51 skin is included, that has the red spinner repainted back to a more 'natural metal'
look.
 
Decal Randomization is set to TRUE. Skin maps are in jpg format.
 
- PARENTAL ADVISORY: This pack contains several artworks that depict the nude human female form

consult your doctor and/or psycholigist immeadately (if not sooner), as there must be something
quite wrong with you!!

F-100D Armée de l'Air
 
I started this mod of stock SF-2 F-100D to upgrade old TMF SF-1 as
we needed it for SF-2 EU campaigns.
 
It took me so far that with a big help from Ludo, who made ALL the historical numbers,
so ALL squadrons were made in silver and/or camo.
 
 
- 1/3 Navarre (silver)
 
- 2/3 Champagne (silver)
 
- 1/11 Roussillon (silver & camo)
 
- 2/11 Vosges (silver & 2 camo)
 
- 3/11 Corse (silver)
 
- 4/11 Jura (2 camo)
 
 
The refuel probe is deleted but if You'ld want to install (as in loading screen)
simply use included alternative F-100D-FR_DATA(Refuel).ini.
 
As a tribute to TMF I included original readme of SF 1 model.
 
That's all.

Shenyang F-6/F-6C
 
One year ago Spillone104 (Alex) and I started this mod.
 
I kept it in my pocket for a long time but now it's time to share.
 
Every known (by me) squadron was made.
 
The skins are mine, the 3D work and sounds are by Alex.
 
The pack includes 4 versions (due the fake pilot by Fast cargo system used):
 
- F-6 (12 skins)
 
- F-6 green (4 skins)
 
- F-6C (6 skins)
 
- F-6C camo (6 skins)
 
All from Pakistan except one from Bangladesh. All historical serial numbers included.
 
To install: all in main mod folder as usual.
 
I hope You will enjoy it as We enjoied making.
 
 
Paulopanz
 
 
1.5 = If You have a previous install you can overwrite previous install. Working on ground canopy (auto closing at take off) key=0.
 
Next step: PLAAF J-6 family

Early soviet jet cockpit
 
FOR STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 with Expansion Packs 2!
 
YOU NEED EXPANSION PACK 2 TO USE THIS MODIFICATION!
LOD file not included!
 
by Stary
version 0.5 working beta
07.12.2010
 
This is simple repaint of stock Hunter F.1 cockpit to make it stand-in for early soviet jets.
Working beta, not historically accurate at the moment at all, bares minimal resemblance with Mig-9, Mig-13, Yak-15 or Yak-23 cockpits.
Currently gauges are still in english (I know very, very little russian, curses mostly...) and still calibrated to knots/feet/gallon units.
No gauges or parts movement tricks at the moment, just basic repaint.

This is the currrent scheme of the newly acquired Super Hornets by the Royal Australian Air Force. Numbered A44-200 through 224.
 
Simply copy the folders and place them in the appropriate directories and go fly, for SF2 series only as it has a custom drop tank texture.
 
And thanks to Wrench for pointing me in the right direction for the numbers...
 
And thanks to Riley64 for reference photos of the current birds.
 
Eric Johnson
2011.

This is simplified Mig-17PF/PFU cockpit. Right now it is released as final beta so there are some issues with this pit, but generally it's working.
 
Avionics are slightly what if, but works ok given the limitations in portraying of Red side birds.
 
Read included readme for requirements, credits and instalation info!

Menu Music (ODS) is a menu music project created to compliment Operation Desert Storm.
 
The file contains a small program by the name JSGME (JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler) which can enable or disable the mod when used correctly. It's optional but highly recommended.
 
The Saved Games folder should be extracted to C:\Users\(Your User Name). If you don't wish to use the JSGME program simply copy the various folders from the folder MODS and move them to C:\Users\(Your User Name)\Saved Games\ThirdWire\OperationDesertStorm.

SF2E A-10A Loadout Mod Readme
 
by Malibu43
 
This mod contains some alternative loadouts for the two A-10A variants in SF2E, as well as a modified LAU-88 rack that allows 2 AGM-65's to be carried vs 3 (Based on images and forums I've read through, this seems to be more accurate. From what I understand, A-10's are never loaded with 3 AGM-65's on one rack). In addition to hopefully being a little more accurate, it also makes CAS a little more fun as it will require you to use something other than guided, stand-off weapons to complete the mission (they put that big gun on the front for a reason!). Strike, Recon, and SEAD loadouts have been tweaked as well.
 
New loadouts are as follows:
 
Attack:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
4 x AGM-65
4 x MK20
 
Strike:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
2 x AGM-65
4 x MK82
 
SEAD:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
4 x AGM-65
4 x CBU-24B
 
Anti-ship:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
2 x MK84
 
FAC:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
2 x LAU-32A
 
Recon:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
2 x LAU-32A
2 x AGM-65
2 x MK82
2 x CBU-24B
 
 
1. Requirements:
 
- SF2E
- You have the LAU-32A rocket pod installed (included in Nato Fighters 4+). If you don't have the LAU-32A installed, you can do a find and replace for "LAU_32A" in both of the included loadout files and replace that with "LAU-3A", which is a stock weapon.
 
2. Installation:
 
a. Extract the contents of this .rar file somewhere temporary.
b. Drop the folder named "2_LAU-88A" into *SF2E Mod Folder*/Objects/Weapons
c. Drop the two *_loadout.ini files into their respective aircraft folders (A-10A, A-10A_78) in the *SF2E Mod Folder*/Objects/Aircraft directory.
 
3. Enjoy!
 
If there are any questions or problems, please PM me at Combatace.com.
 
This mod may not be used in any payware. It can be used for free as long as appropriate credit is given.
 
Thanks,
 
Malibu43
 
Note: updated 9-29-10 to correct LAU-32A entries.
Note: updated again on 9-30 to correct... LAU-32A entries
Note: updated 3-13-11 to correct LAU-32A entries and change some loadouts
Note: updated 7-8-11 to correct an error in naming the new LAU-88 rack. Don't know how that wasn't missed before...
Note: Jeez.. Updated 7/11/11 to account for a change with the July '11 patch.

This skin represents the VFA-27 CAG jet in 2009, just drop in the FA-18E folder and go fly.
 
Eric Johnson, 2012

This is a single-engine Egyptian-Modified Vampire jet cockpit for SFP2 with single engine gages based on the Thirdwire Meteor cockpit. You need SFP2 Israel and expansion pack.
 
It is a combat veteran and fought air to air combat against Israeli Meteors, Dassault Ouragans, Mystere IVAs and later against Pakistani F-86 Sabres according to sources.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
It has gages moved, and BMP gages and bitmaps added from multiple Vampire color cockpit photos and the DH Vampire cockpit manual.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMBAT HISTORY:
 
MIDDLE EAST:
 
First Middle East jet combats occurred in 1955.
 
September 1, 1955, - 2 Egyptian FB.52 vampires were shot down by an Israeli Gloster Meteor.
 
Another Egyptian FB.52 Vampire was shot down by a Dassault Ouragan April 12, 1956.- Shlomo Aloni, Arab-Israeli Air Wars 1947-82, p23.

By 11:00hrs also four Vampires strafed the Israeli column near al-Thamed, causing even more damage. They were followed by more Vampires and also Meteors of the 5 Sqn EAF, all of which were escorted by the MiG-15 and hit the Israelis very hard.
 
The Israelis claimed destruction of four Vampires
 
http://www.acig.org/...ticle_256.shtml
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INDO-PAKASTANI War
 
On September 1, 1965, during the Indo-Pakistani War, IAF Vampires saw action for the first time with India. No. 45 Squadron responded to a request for strikes against a counter-attack by the Pakistani Army (Operation Grand Slam) and four Vampire Mk 52 fighter-bombers were successful in slowing the Pakistani advance.
 
However, the Vampires encountered two Pakistan Air Force (PAF) F-86 Sabres, armed with air to air missiles; in the ensuing dogfight, the outdated Vampires were outclassed. One was shot down by ground fire and another three were shot down by Sabres.[17] The Vampires were withdrawn from front line service after these losses.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
FIGHTING IN THE VAMPIRE:
 
The Vampire had a lower wing loading than the Meteor and therefore should be able to out turn the Meteor in a turning fight all other things being equal. The Meteor being much faster, faster climbing and more powerful will dominate a vertical fight.
 
1. Keep fast against enemy prop fighters...you are faster than them, but you lose energy fast and can't regain it easily.
 
2. Try to out turn enemy jets...you usually have a lower wingloading. The enemy Meteor is much more powerful than you, much faster than you, has a much higher climb rate then you and he can dominate a vertical fight.
 
The Vampire reportedly had beautiful handling qualities but was extremely underpowered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
DIRECTIONS:
 
REQUIREMENTS: SFP2 Israel2 and expansion pack.
 
Directions:
1. Download folder
2. Backup everything in Vampire52 folder (This has new Egyptian loading and hanger screens, and newini. and cockpit.ini as well as a new cockpit).
3. Download this into your aircraft folder usually located at C:\Mydocuments and settings\yourname\My Documents\Thirdwire\StrikeFighters2 Israel\Objects\Aircraft
4. Say yes when asked to overwrite.
5. Done.
Enjoy!

SF2 MiG-23 & MiG-27 Floggers - Part 2
 
This mod supplies a collection of MiG-23 & MiG-27 Floggers, created by ArmourDave and The Mirage Factory, and heavily modded by Lindr2 for SFP1. (These are not mods of the 3rdWire Floggers supplied in the SF2 titles.) All have been converted and updated to SF2 standards. Also included with this mod are all the weapons, sounds, pilots, and seats that you will need to install and use any of the aircraft supplied with this mod.
 
This mod consists of three parts:
 
Part 1: 1st Generation MiG-23s (MiG-23S, Mig-23M, MiG-23ME, MiG-23MF,
MiG-23MF, MiG-23UB)
 
Part 2: 2nd Generation MiG-23s (MiG-23ML, MiG-23MLA, MiG-23MLAE, MiG-23P,
MiG-23PD, MiG-23-98, MiG-23UM)
 
Part 3: Ground Attack MiG-23s (MiG-23B, MiG-23BN) & MiG-27s (MiG-27,
MiG-27D, MiG-27K, MiG-27M, MiG-27ML)
 
Each of the three parts includes all the decals, pilots, sounds, effects that you will need for the aircraft in that part. This is the second part. The WEAPONS are contained ONLY IN THIS PART -- THE 2ND PART.
 
These aircraft can be used in SF2, SF2E, SF2V, or SF2I. To install and use them, you should ensure that your SF2 installation is patched to at least the Dec2009 patch level. See below for installation instructions.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Please note that installation of these aircraft will overwrite & replace the default 3rdWire versions included in the various SF2 titles. I recommend that you first REMOVE the 3rdWire MiG-23 and MiG-27 versions - even if you haven't modded them -- before installing these alternate versions.
 
To install, simply drag the following folders to your SF2 Mods Folder (NOT the folder that the game installs to):
 
\Effects
\Flight
\Objects
\Sounds
 
By default your Mod Folder should be located here:
 
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\ThirdWire\[Game]\
Windows Vista: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[Game]\
Windows 7: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[Game]\
 
...where [username] is the account you log into within Windows and [Game] is the name of the particular game mod folder that you're moving the files to.
 
If the aircraft are not showing up in your Single Mission Aircraft menu, then you didn't install all the bits correctly. And remember, the WEAPONS are contained ONLY IN THE 2ND PART, which means that you MUST DOWNLOAD THE 2ND PART TO GET THE WEAPONS.

A Few Notes About This Mod
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Those familiar with Lindr2's Flogger packages for SFP1 will rightly recognize that this updated mod builds on his earlier efforts. Although I have largely followed Lindr2's lead in assembling this package, there are some noteworthy differences between his SFP1 collections and this one:
 
1) Different Engine Sounds & Afterburner TGAs
 
I have used different engine sounds and afterburner TGAs to give the various engines used by different models distinct sounds and appearances.
 
2) NATO Code Names
 
The aircraft names do include the NATO code names, whereas Lindr2's SFP1 versions did not use them at all. Also, the Air-to-Air weapons use both NATO and Soviet names/designations (e.g., "R-73 AA-11 Archer").
 
3) Wider range of Skins/Nations
 
You will find a wider range of skins used to represent more nations, drawing on the various one-off skins that have been released by other modders.
