    1. SF2 WW2 PBY-5A Catalina by Veltro2K

      SF2 WW2 PBY-5A Catalina by Veltro2K
       
      = For SF2, (Full 5 RECCOMENDED!!!) =
       
      **NOTE: due to the EXTENSIVE modifications performed on the various inis, this mod will !!Absolutely!! =NOT= work in SF/Wo* game at any patch level. A FUll 5 Merged install is required, due to the use of SF2NA statements in the data ini, pertaining to Naval Search and Naval Strike.**
       
      This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's WW2 PBY-5A Catalina flying boat patrol bomber aircraft.
      While the Game Engine ™ dosent support amphidexterious operations off water, the wing floats extend/retract with the H (arrestor hook) key.
       
      This pack contains just the single skin, USN42. This is a rather 'generic' skin, and represents USN VP squadrons from approximately May 1942, when the red ball and rudder stripes were removed. This also -more or less- coincides with the the arrival in greater strentgh in squadron service, of the -5A amphibibian version (which this is), replacing the -4 and -5 seaplane only variant.
      Other skins ARE needed; the template for this aircraft should be available still in the SF/Wo* 1stGen downloads section. If not, I'll upload my copy. (we could use RNFAA, RNZAF, USN 3-tone and overall Black for the "Black Cats")
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read, too
      The Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft.
      For those that still have the original releases, you SHOULD redownload this pak; . There HAVE been MANY changes and additions in several of the inis, in respect to SF2NA.
       
      **These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**.
       
      Happy Landings!

    2. SF2 WW2 MTO Kittyhawk IA, 112 Squadron

      SF2 WW2 MTO Kittyhawk IA, 112 Squadron
       
      -- Something for the WW2 MTO players --
       
      = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      *There is a distinct probabality that this mod =WILL= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs.
      After all, it's just a skin and decals!! However, the decal radomization will not be
      functional in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs*
       
      A fairly simple redecaling for Raven's Kittyhawk Mk.IA as flown with 112 Squadron in Egypt
      and the Western Desert. In fact, other than the skins getting a light coating of dirt and
      smoke, it's still Raven's original skin. This will add the Squadron Code, plane-in-group
      letters and serial number decals to his original skin. It just overwrites the decals and
      texture set ini (although the skin map will also overwrite, too. don't worry about that!)
       
      This skin is still in bmp format, so it's usable in SF/Wo*. Decal randomization is TRUE.
      All the markings are decals, which (serials, plane-in-group letters) are reused from
      another Kittyhawk skins set.
      Also included, is a NEW loading screen from my AvArt collection
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So,
      please =READ= them.
       
      With Thanks To Raven for the bird!
       
      Happy Hunting!

    3. SF2 WW2 PTO P-40E Skin Pak

      SF2 WW2 PTO P-40E Skin Pak
       
      -- Something for the WW2 PTO 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, dds damage textures) will =NOT= be functional. Use in 1stGens has
      not, and cannot be, tested by me.*
       
      Some reskins for Raven's recently Released P-40E Warhawk. These skins represent USAAF
      squadrons in the South West Pacific (SWP) -northern Australia, New Guinea- region from
      approximately April 1942 onwards. And a "interesting" skin, as I hate wasting decals
      (grin).
       
      In this pack you'll get:
       
      7th FS, 49th FG -Bunyaps (OD/Grey)
      8th FS, 49th FG -Black Sheep (Green/Tan/Grey camo)
      9th FS, 49th FG -Iron Knights (OD/Grey)
       
      and...
       
      The Flying Legion (OD/Grey) - somewhat of a "What If..." skin from the motion picture "Sky
      Captain and the World of Tommorrow. You may keep it, or delete as you desire. I won't be
      insulted or hurt; I promise!!
       
      Skins remain in their bmp format.
      New DDS damage textures (usable on all Raven's Warhawk/Kittyhawk in SF2 only) are
      included!
      New aircraft plane-in-group number decals, in correct sequencing for the 3 Real Life ™
      squadron are included. Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins. There are no nose arts.
      The squadron patch is used for the 7th, 8th and 9th FS. Also, via the use of my (patent
      pending) fake SqTail decal, the squadron name display is now active on the Loadout Screen.
      My modified Loadout ini is also included. As is an SF2 Version of the drop tank (for those
      that haven't converted it yet).
      The skins have been run through the template (thank you Raven for that!), and have had a
      layer of dirt, stains and 'clouds' added for weathering.
       
      A rebuilt version of my "Box Art" style Hangar screen, USAAF PTO specific (in SF2 jpg
      format) is included.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE
      read them BEFORE installing this pack!!!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other stuff
      that might be interesting.
       
      Good Hunting!!

    4. SF2 BAe Nimrod MR.1 Remod Pak by Veltro2k

      SF2 BAe Nimrod MR.1 Remod Pak by Veltro2k
       
      = For SF2, (Full 5 Merged ONLY!!)=
       
      **FUll 5 Merged reccomended, as the destroyed model references the stock 3W B-52, and many statements in the data ini refer to SF2NA coding only**
       
      A Re-release of the Veltro2k's Nimrod Martime Patrol aircraft, now with some (ok, many) updates for the SF2:NA environment.
      This is the complete aircraft package, with an new cockpit and various and sundry ini tweeks. Several new or updated weapons are included. The hangar and loading screens have also been converted for SF2 usage.
      2 skins are included:
       
      42 Squadron, in the original 2-tone (called Early)
      201 Squadron, in the Hemp (called, Hemp (doh!!))
       
      The skins will automatically change from the Early to the later Hemp at a (semi)specific date. (Read: my best guess)! Skins remain in bmp format.
      Decal randomization is set to TRUE for both skins. Basicly, it's the exactly as I released sometime back for SF2 (pre-purge), but with several enchancement and tweeks, now set up for SF2NA. Damage textures are in DDS.
      Loadouts have been adjusted to start with torpedos, and then switch to Harpoons, also at a 'best guesstimate' year (1983).
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read, in particular on operational usage.
      The Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft.
      For those that still have the original releases, you may want to delete said original (or back it up somewheres), as there HAVE been changes and additions in several of the inis mostly in respect to SF2NA. Consider this a FULL replacement of the original.
       
      **These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**.

    5. SF2 WW2 ETO Spitfire 9c, 341 Squadron Skin Pak

      SF2 WW2 ETO Spitfire 9c, 341 Squadron Skin Pak
       
      -- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
       
      = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged + Expansion Pak 2 (Reccomended/Preferred) =
      **SF2:E Expansion Pak 2 =REQUIRED= to have the Spitfire 9c**
       
      A reskinning of the stock 3W Spit 9c to 341 Squadron, FFAF (aka: GC III/4 Alsace) during WW2 in Western Europe.
       
      Skins remain in their 'lorez' 512 size, and are still in bmp format. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. All marking on the aircraft are decals. This will make it exceptionally easy for skinners to create other RAF squadrons of this time period.
      For those with historical tendencies, this is the squadron that Pierre Clostermann served with.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.

      Mods to Wolf257's P-38J recreate the F-5B "Photo Lightning" as used in the ETO.

      Like my other Lightning mods, several changes have been effected, they are listed in the 'ChangeLog', in the "Notes" section.
      Weapons (ok, drop tanks), pilot figures are included, and a NEW engine engine sound. A New SF2 style Hangar screen in included.

    7. SF2 WW2 Douglas TBD-1 Devastator Tweeks Pak (DAT)

      SF2 WW2 Douglas TBD-1 Devastator Tweeks Pak (DAT)
       
      For SF2, Full-5 Merged (RECCOMENDED!!!)
       
      *Designed for use in a PTO-centric mods folder built =FROM= the SF2:NA exe. NA coding is required for some statements I've changed/added.*
      **This mod will NOT work in 1stGen SF/Wo* game installs. Those that attempt to do so, do so at their own risk. No support is/will be available. The skins will most likely work in SF/Wo*, if they are converted BACK to bmp from DDS. This has not, and cannot be tested by me. You have been warned/advised**
      Those users that cannot access the DAT downloads, you're advised to skip this, as it's of no use to you.
       
      This is a semi-complete aircraft mod, consisting of mostly skins, decals, inis and various and sundry other needed bits and parts.
      This package contains a rebuild of my skins for the Dev A-Team's Douglas TBD Devestator naval attack/torpedo bomber.
      It is desinged to be used with their latest lod,
       
      TBD1A-R1.lod (dated 9/21/2011, make sure you get the Gen2 version!!)
       
      The skins have been partly redone to match the new mapping, and are in DDS format.
      Included are several modified inis, that correct/add/change some things. You are advised to BACKUP any/all originals. The Install instructions list which and what to delete or backup.
       
      This package contains nearly 100% historical skins and decal markings for US Navy TBDs as seen at both the Battle of the Coral Sea, and The Battle of Midway; their hour of greatest Triumph and Tragedy. I say 'nearly' 100%, as I couldn't quite get some of the wear-and-tear and fabric effects on the skin exactly as they should be, or as I wanted. Also, the BuNums for the VT-2 skin are not 100% match to Modex. Colors have been FS matched, as best as possible, to BuAer spec.
       
      The units depicted are...
       
      Battle of the Coral Sea:
       
      VT-2 USS LEXINGTON
       
      Battle of Midway:
       
      VT-3, USS YORKTOWN
      VT-6, USS ENTERPRISE
      VT-8, USS HORNET
       
      Unfortnately, I was unable to accurately 'pin down' the modex-to-BuNms-to-crew for VT-2 at Coral Sea. (I HAVE the crew listings, but not the BuNums)
      For the Midway Devestator squadrons, Modex and BuNums have been matched =EXACTLY= to their partiuclar aircraft, exactly as placed within each division of each squadron on each ship represented here. A number list for each squadron is included, with the crew names for each aircraft. Their names will show on the Loadout screen.
      Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins (which it actually shouldn't be -- the Midway Devestator's numbers.lst has them in their historicaly correct order). New damage textures, in DDS format, are supplied, as is an 'new' engine sound from the AvHistory set.
      NOTE: for VT-3, #s 13 & 14 were spare aircraft, that went down with YORKTOWN when she was sunk; research seems to indicate they did not participate in the Battle.
      Each skin's paint chip is the historically correct Squadron Patch.
      New 'box art' style Hangar Screens are included; The Loading screen artwork depicts Ens. George Gay's attack on AKAGI (the sole survivor of VT-8 whom I had to honor of meeting some years ago)
      Included is the new Mk.13 torpedo by Veltro2K
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! In fact, it would be better if one unzipped this archive FIRST, and read all the instructions BEFORE installing this mod. It will make things go easier.
      All original DAT readmes are included, for historical and ownership/copyright purposes.
       
      Good Luck, and Good Hunting!
      wrench

      ps: I wanted to get this out by June 4, the anniversery of the Battle of Midway. I had NO idea the DAT would be releasing their All-Inclusive PTO until last night. This in no way changed my plans; but may make it easier for you all to use this.

    9. MiG-21FL Type-77 Trishul

      The production of the MiG-21s in India under license by Hindustan Aeronautics in Nasik started
      with the MiG-21FL in 1966 in four phases starting with the assembly of CKD kits, moving on to
      subassemblies, parts, and finally advancing to production from scratch.
       
      205 MiG-21FLs, designated Type 77 and nicknamed Trishul ("Trident), were built in India between
      1966 and 1972; the first one built entirely from Indian-made components was delivered to the IAF
      on 19 October 1970, with the first Indian-made R11F2S-300 powerplant leaving the assembly line
      on 2 January 1969.
       
      In the late 1970s, the IAF began acquiring MiG-21M/MFs, consequently a large part of the MiG-21FL
      fleet were sent into storage.
      However in the mid-1980s, these FLs were pulled out of storage and retrofitted with two extra
      pylons and were fitted with IFF-400 antennas(on the nose).
       
      Whats's in:
       
      - two flyable planes
       
      - Type 77 with GP-9 gunpod (13 skins)
       
      - Type 77 (late) with 4 pylons and IFF-400 antenna (5 skins)
       
      - MiG-21 cockpit
       
      - IAF Pilot (76.IAP-Blackbird's reworked)
       
      - New Mig-21FL userlist without India
       
      - Dedicated sounds
       
      - Historical Serial Numbers
       
       
      canopy opens as usual with 10 key.
       
      Known Issues: none
       
      - White 'ghosts' in the cockpit - solved!
       
       
      To Install:
       
      Put all in your mod folder.
       
       
      Credits:

    14. SHOOT SF2 profile

      This file allows you to interact with your Squadron mates and Red Crown (Control) using spoken words.....so instead pressing TAB-2-8-3......you just say "Flight one Rejoin" or instead of pressing TAB-7-3 you say "Control Vector Target"
       
      I have been using it in Gen1 for a couple of years now and have recently got it working in SF2.
       
      The read me has links to the SHOOT 1.6.4 download and the profile for SF2 comes with printable list of common phrases used for within the game.
       
      Cheers

    16. Desert Plus

      FOR SFP1, SFGOLD, and SF2.
       
       
      This mod adds 2 more fictional countries to the stock desert terrain. The new countries are the Republic of Dohar, allied with Paran, and the Sultanate of Sharnak, allied with Dhimar. The mod adds some new airports, cities and towns in the unoccupied western section of the desert terrain, as well as border posts, lookout towers and some new oil fields for Dhimar and Paran. This version is likely the final one.
       
      Main Features:
       
      1. Easy install that won't affect the stock terrain.
      2. 3 time zoom map showing new border areas.
      3. a few new attack and truck routes added for CAS and Armed Recon missions
       
      CREDITS: Thanks to Whiteknight 06604 for making the Dohar and original Sharnak decals.
       
      Changes for version 2.2:
      1. Terrain leveled at Canopic airfield.
      2. The airfield at Fasala has been moved and the terrain leveled at the new location.
      3. Some seldom used terrain tiles have been repainted so the airfields at Shalabar and Al'Aranak are on greenspace.
      4. Optional textures for the SF-2 dirt runway included.
       
      NOTES: Still working on a new terrain for the four fictional countries but it won't be ready for a loooooooong time.

    17. Strike Fighters 2: Sounds (+)

      Strike Fighters 2: Sounds (+) is a default sound replacement project that has expanded to include unique engine and mechanical (Gear, Flaps, ...) sounds for various default aircraft for Strike Fighters 2, Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam, Strike Fighters 2: Europe, Strike Fighters 2: Israel, and Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic. The focus of the project is to re-create a realistic cockpit environment, however, since the engine doesn't (?) support multiple audio environments (Internal vs External), this may negatively affect the external environment as a consequence.
       
      The download contains a small program by the name of 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" (Flight, Objects, Sounds) and paste them to "C:\Users\(Your User Name)\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2", or your custom "Saved Games" folder of choice.
       
      I have also included optional radio chatter that replaces the default "Windloop" w/ radio chatter from various sources. This can be enabled via JSGME, or manually as described above.

    18. SF2E: TSF: Mannerheims Shield

      The Scandinavian Front: Operation Mannerheims Shield
      By The Scandinavian Front Team
       
      UPDATE: After you installed this file; install this one:
      http://combatace.com/files/file/12893-sf2e-tsf-mannerheims-shield-viking-total-war-patch/
      This makes for a far more enjoyable experience and is highly recommended!!!
       
      The year is 1966.
       
      Ten years have passed since what is commonly called "The Soviet War" in Sweden and Finland. Many hoped that the end of the war would result in a lasting peace for
      Scandinavia. Both Sweden and Finland openly applies for membership in NATO to protect themselves from the horrors of war and a nuclear bomb program is now a
      joint-effort between both countries. Despite this, as a gesture of good faith, Soviet sells Finland a number of MiG-21 Figthers and MiG-15 UTI Training aircraft.
       
      In 1965, a report is sent to Moscow by the extremist left of Sweden. It claims a nuclear bomb is less then a year away, a shock to the Union who expected such a
      weapon to be at least five years away. During this time, demonstrations - part of the global peace movement - break out in Sweden and Finland. The leaders of both
      countries suspect Soviet involvement, and raise funds to the military.
       
       
      February 1966, a small force under Lauri Törni is arrested at a naval base in Murmansk. Suspected as sabotours and spies, they are tried and sent to prison, while Sweden and Finland denies involvement. A few days later, the prison convoy is ambushed with the guards either dead or suspected captured by the unknown attackers. Törnis team is also missing. Soviet angrily demands the surrender of Törni to their custody or war may be declared.
       
      While Törni in a press conference from Washington DC agrees to surrender himself, it is clear that war cannot be averted. The report about the nuclear bomb is spooking the Soviets to such a degree that they have declared that they will attack. Knowing that the Swedish Air Force is the key to victory for Scandinavia, they make plans to almost entirely bypass Finland and attack Sweden directly by Sea.
       
      NATO Agents, active within the Union catch wind of the plans and send them to Stockholm. They choose the plan Mannerheims Shield as their best hope for survival...
       
      Installation:
      If you are using a mod, or plan to use one, TSF will mess around with settings other mods may be using. As such, creating a seperate mod
      folder for TSF is a good idea. If you only plan to use TSF, then this step can be bypassed.
       
      Go to your installation folder (Usually C:\Program Files\Thirdwire\Strike Fighters 2). Make a copy of Strike Fighters 2.exe / Strike Fighters 2 Europe.exe depending on what you prefer and got installed. Name the Copy Strike Fighters 2 TSF.exe . Start your new .exe once, then close the game.
       
      Now go to your Mod Folders. For Windows 7/Vista, this is located in C:\Users\Name\Saved Games\Thirdwire. Unzip the contents of the 7zip file into the mod folder of your choice. Allow any overwrites.
       
      As long as this package is installed last, it can and should be merged with the other The Scandinavian Front packages.

    20. SF2 WW2 DH TigerMoth by RussoUK

      SF2 WW2 DH TigerMoth by RussoUK
       
      -- Something for Anyone --
       
      = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      A new version of the DH Tigermoth, as seen in WW2 and the immeadiate post-war time frames.
      This version now has (at no extra charge!!) bump mapping! There are 2 lods included; the one
      set for use now has more subtle bumpping; the other a bit LESS subtle.
       
      2 skins are inlucded, slightly revamped (read: partly repainted), and now with individual
      Plane-in-group numbers/letters and serial number decals for:
       
      "Camo": standard RAF day trainer scheme (I guess!); darkearth/green/yellow unders
      "Silver": post-war, silver doped, from University of London Air School (iirc)
       
      Most of the markings are painted on, with the exception of the Silver skin. All decals
      positions have been plotted, which will make it easier for End Users that wish to, to create
      other countries markings. A new Userlist.ini is included (for the most popular users, not
      all are listed).
      An SF2 version of my original 'box art' hangar is included, in jpg format.
      The partial template is also included. It's in the main aircraft folder for other skinners
      to 'have at it'.
      This will give your fledgling flyers something to practice in. And it's a nice change to
      just buzz around the countryside with, every once and a while.
       
      **Note: this version is designed to REPLACE any/all previous versions!!**
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please
      read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
       
      Happy Landings!!

    21. SF2 Cessna O-2A Skymaster by Veltro2K

      SF2 Cessna O-2A Skymaster by Veltro2K
       
      = For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
       
      This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's O-2A FAC aircraft.
       
      **Note: due to extensive modifications to the cockpit and other ini tweeks, it will =NOT=
      work in 1stGen SF/Wo* games at ANY patch level**
       
      As stated above, a reissue of the Skymaster FAC bird. Included in this pak are all the mods
      from the "O-2 Tweeks Pak' I issued in 2009 (and it's attendant readme). This is the complete
      aircraft.
       
      Skins remain in their bmp format; Decal radomization is set to TRUE. A user list is
      supplied. New damage textures are in DDS format. All weapons referenced are STOCK 3rd Wire
      items, available in full 4/5 merged installs.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read
      them!!! Included is my original readme for the "Tweeks Pak"; it's suggested you read this
      as well, as it contains a listing of all the changes, tweeks, mods and so forth.
      The Legal Statement has also been changed with regards to this aircraft.
      For those that still have the original releases, as there HAVE been changes and additions in
      several of the inis you may wish to examine, you may wish to replace the originals with
      these.
       
      **This aircraft herein is released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that
      cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be
      created**.
       
      Happy Landings!

    22. SF2 WW2 ETO A-20G Pak (DAT)

      SF2 WW2 ETO A-20G Pak (DAT)
      = For SF2 (Full4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED!)
       
      **This mod -MAY- work in 1stGen game installs. But this has not/cannot be tested by me. **
       
      This pak contains mods for the Dev A-Teams A-20G Havoc light attack bomber, as seen in
      Western Europe (ETO) from 1943 through War's End. This is a semi-complete aircraft mod, as
      per DAT directives, the aircraft lod is =NOT= included. So, those users that cannot access
      the DAT downloads, you're advised to skip this, as it's of no use to you. Everything else,
      minus guns and bombs, is included.
      Those users with access, will be transfering the lod from from a seperate DAT download of
      the A-20G. This mod has been built and tested with the
      A-20_Havoc-R4.LOD, dated 10/21/2005 from their WW2 Aircraft Downloads section. You =WILL=
      need that, to copy/paste into THIS aircraft's folder.
       
      The skins from my Home Grown Template ™, and remain in their bmp format. New decals
      were created as needed for serials, plane-in-group letters and others. The serials are
      'generic' in nature, as they represent no particular aircraft within the units depicted,
      but ARE for the model variant represented.
      Weapons (bombs) and guns are NOT included; you should have them already.
      The skins included herein are, "new builds" that were previously unreleased anywhere.
       
      They are:
       
      645th Bomb Squadron, 410th Bomb Group (7X)
      646th Bomb Squadron, 410th Bomb Group (8U)
       
      I chose the 410th BG, as they used their Havocs from later 43 until the war's end. They
      had started converting to A-26, but never fully converted by May 45.
       
      All markings are decals, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
      All the 1stGen Hangar and Loading screens were either rebuilt to SF2-spec, or created new
      for this package. They are in jpg format. Damage textures are new, in DDS format.
      Various inis may make use of the 'hide component' or the 'open cockpit' statements to make
      sure the cockpits are where they're supposed to be. This may prevent them for working in
      1stGens at any patch level. 1st Gen End Users ™ can experiment on their own.
      The Canopy (ok, cockpit hatch) has been switched to the Standard Animation Keystroke ™,
      Shift/0.
      The FM, while far better than the 2005 release, may need further small adjustments. But it
      flys fine for me! :)
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE
      read them!!!
       
      Happy Landings!

    23. SF2 WW2 PTO RAAF Kittyhawk Mk.IA Pak

      SF2 WW2 PTO RAAF Kittyhawk Mk.IA Pak
       
      -- Something for the WW2 PTO 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) will NOT be functional. Use in 1stGens has not, and cannot be, tested by me.*
       
      **Notex2: this mod is designed for use ONLY in a PTO-Centric mods folder**
       
      A first, I was just going to do a simple skin/decals pack. But with all the "modifications" made to fit (better) into SF2, in particular the 5/2013 patch level (oi!), chose to take the "lazy man's way out" and just upload the entire aircraft.
       
      When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop-down, you'll see
       
      Kittyhawk Mk.1A (Raven)
       
      This will diferentiate this for any other Kittyhawks you may (or may not) have.
      This is the full aircraft, "nationalized" for Australian use, as stated above, with my 'tweeked' sf2-ish data ini (and a backuped copy of the original too!). The skin included is for...
       
      No.75 Squadron, RAAF
       
      as seen from mid/late April 1942 in the Port Moresby, PNG area
       
      Skins remain in their bmp format.
      New DDS damage textures (usable on all Raven's Warhawk/Kittyhawk in SF2 only) are included!
      New aircraft plane-in-group letter decals, and RAAF serials - 95% historically accurate - matched to the individual letter, are included. On the numberlist, those marked with a star (*) have been postively confirmed to have served in 75 Squadron.
       
      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.
      No weapons are included, except an SF2 Version of the drop tank (for those that haven't converted it yet). New theatre-specific Hangar and Loading screens are included, too.
       
      The skins have been run through the template (thank you Raven for that!), and have had a layer of dirt and 'clouds' added for weathering.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!
       
      Good Hunting!!

    24. SF2 WW2 PTO/CBI Nakajima Ki-44 Tojo by Geo

      SF2 WW2 PTO/CBI Nakajima Ki-44 Tojo by Geo
       
      = For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      *There is a possibility that this mod will =MAY= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs at any patch level. However, due to some/many of modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment, not all features will be active.*
       
      ** Notex2: The aircraft herin have several different skins ... for the CBI, SoWesPac (ie: Dutch East Indies), (semi) Central Pacific (read: Phillipines), Home Islands defense. I've tried to tag them as best as I can. If running seperate CBI and general PTO mods folders, you may want to seperate them out, or move the texture listing around to fit your usage. **
       
      This model seems to be either the Ki-44-Ib, Ic or IIB, as it carries the 4 12.7mm machine guns. I chose to call it the "Ic".
      Skins within the pack are the originals from Geo's 1stGen release. They are (as bes as I can ID them):
       
      23 Sentai
      29 Sentai (PI)
      47 Sentai
      50 Sentai, 1 Chutai (CBI)
      85 Sentai (CBI -china mostly)
       
      23 & 47 both carry the 'white bandage' marking that usually denote Home Islands Defense, but some units around Pelambang, NEI also carried them.
       
      New (semi)compliant SF2 FM was cobbled together. As has become expected, the FM is NOT perfect, and needs further fine-tuning by Experts. A New SF2 style "box art" hangar screen, Geo's original 2 loading screens, converted to jpg, so you can switch to whichever one you like better. Weapons (drop tanks and bombs), guns, a pilot figure and engine sounds are included. All skins remain in their original bmp format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE (for the few number decals we have). As is usual, all lighting is 100% historically correct.
      The canopy has been switched to the Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0.
      Damage textures are new, in DDS format.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. All original readmes are included for historical purposes (when discoverable from the archives)
       
      Happy Hunting!

      No. 609 Squadron "West Riding" (code PR)
       
      The skins are completly new, from my Home Grown Template ™, and remains in bmp format. New decals were created for Squadron Code letters, serials, plane-in-group letters and others.
      The serials are pooled, and are 'generic' in nature, as they represent no particular aircraft within the unit(s) depicted, but ARE for the model variant represented. Colors are FS matched as close as possible. When possible, the Squadron Crest is used for the 'paint chip' on the loadout screen.
      All fuselage markings are decals (wing roundels remain painted on); this will allow super easy creation of other squadrons by simply creating a new SCode or **(2letter) decal, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
       
      My 1stGen original "Box Art" style Hangar and/or Loading screens have been rebuilt to SF2-spec for this package. They are in jpg format. Damage textures are new, in DDS format.
      Also included, is a new drop tank, by Raven, with a built in pylon (as it's missing from the aircraft model itself). See Notes for more on loadouts.
      The rockets and guns you should already have, so they are NOT included.
      The canopy has been switched to the Standare Manual Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0.
      The FM may need further small adjustments (ok, maybe more than a little...).
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!
      All the original DAT readmes are included, for historical and ownership/copyright purposes.
      It is HIGHLY suggested you unzip this archive FIRST, and READ the install instructions BEFORE installing this mod. So you know EXACTLY what to do..
       
      Good Hunting!
