Strike Fighters 2 Series by Thirdwire

I liked Starys mod but thought the winter tilesets weren't wintery enough to my liking so I made my own set of hard winter tiles.
 
To use, just drop these into the GermanyCE folder and they should unpack to their own winterhard folder.
 
Then open up the GermanyCE.ini file and change
 
[season001]
Directory=Winter
StartDate=1/1
EndDate=03/15
ScatteredChance=0
BrokenChance=40
OvercastChance=50
InclementChance=10
 
to
 
[season001]
Directory=WinterHard
StartDate=1/1
EndDate=03/15
ScatteredChance=0
BrokenChance=40
OvercastChance=50
InclementChance=10
 
These are just textures btw so if you haven't already grabbed Starys GermanyCE v3 mod, do so now or these won't work at all.
 
/Julhelm

These are just some changes I came up with to fix some problems with Razbam's F-102A Delta Dagger.
 
1)Fuel guage-Corrected SystemName[021] to read FuselageFuelCell-gauge will now read the fuselage tank. Also changed tank amounts to more closely
reflect actual amount of fuel carried internally; most sources give this as 1,085 Gals or 7,335 Lbs.
2)HydraulicPressureGauge-Changed this to an OIL_PRESSURE_INDICATOR as there is no provision in-game for hydraulic pressure. Obviously not a true
reading, but better than a dead gauge.
3)Drop tanks-Changed these as all references were to 230 Gallon tanks; F-106 had 360's.
4)Fixed Fuel Low Left, Fuel Low Right lights, they now come on with 20Lbs fuel left.
5)Set emer fuel on light to come on at 600Lbs.
6)Changed missle names and added SpecificStationCodes to missles and aircraft to prevent mix-ups with stock or weapons pack missles as these are
 
larger and protrude thru the fuselage if used in the side bays. Also two AIM-26's with the correct StationCode. After all, if you can't
nuke it, fook it, no? Copy and paste the aim-4 lod.s and parts01 bmp.s from the weapons that came with the plane into their respective folders in
 
this mod. Install these into your weapons folder in the game. The AIM-26's have their lod.s; they are from McGunny's Ordnance Pack.
7)Fire control system-Changed this to Hughes MG-10; again F-106 was equipped with the MA-1. Adjusted Avionics ini. Search/Track Distance/Strength
entries to match those in the Data ini.
8)Changed the names of the Avionics, Cockpit, and Data ini.'s to be model specific to prevent mix-ups.
9)Added ReverseInput=TRUE and ReverseModelOrientation=TRUE to the rudder statement in the Data ini. to fix incorrect yaw.
After you've placed the aim-4 lod.s etc. in the missle folders just copy and paste the Objects folder either into your Razbam folder or into the
game after you've installed the aircraft.
Credits: Cliff11 for the rudder fix; you can blame me for the rest.
This has been tested in a July 2012 full merged install, it should work in earlier patches but it's untested.

Yak-38 Vertical 0.98 beta
 
The main reason for me to play Strike fighters 2 is that I can fly a Yak-38 in it )) That how I found this game on the internet. Unfortunately, being an AI plane it was not suitable for player controls... I found Gepard's addon which was the only one out there. It game me a lot of idea I decided to improve the plane's features and game experience. This is a fine tuned or modified collection of everything I could find to improve the plane. Mostly not my work, but I wasted a lot of time to put together and test a working and accurate Yak-38. This was my main and only goal. Try it. Since many things are in testing phase, all feedback is appreciated!
 
Install
 
I tried to include every component I have used with this plane, so it should work with a fresh unmodded SF2 NA. If you have DirX 9 and Win XP (like me), then you also need the IcelandNA modded terrain for XP to be able to play SF2NA on your PC.
Just copy everything into your designated add-on folder and it should work. Beware it may overwrite existing add-on files and components you already have. Check it first, especially weapons.
 
Contents
 
- Paladrian's MiG-21MF cockpit (temporary solution)
- Yak-38 VTOL flyable.
- Yak-38M VTOL flyable.
- Weapons: OFAB-100, 250, 500 etc from SovietBombPack; Kh-23 missiles, UB-8M, UPK-23 gun pod and MBD2 racks from Ordnance Shop II; APU-60-1 rack from Cocos (not yet in use)
- Soviet Pacific Fleet skin (Modified stock skin, set as default)
- Soviet Navy Grey skin (Redrawn stock skin)
- Soviet Northern Fleet skin (Redrawn stock skin)
- Soviet Navy pilot Bright orange overalls (Redrawn Red3202 pilot skin)
- Two loadout.ini for both aircraft, a loadout.VTOL and a loadout.STOL. Overwrite loadout.ini to switch between them as you wish for AI and campaing use.
- Three Kiev_data.ini's one for STOL and one for VTOL style take offs. Use the VTOL loadout file for the VTOL take-off modded Kiev, for safety reasons. The third INI has a "castrated" take off position #1 (Catapult 1) to enable human player VTOL take-off, for Soviet Navy campaigns and missions.
- README FILE with FLIGHT MANUAL included
 
Fixes
 
- Fixed engine thrust vectors and exhaust positions
- Re-added lift engines to fuselage
- Fixed number decals position
- Fixed pylon ordnance positions
- Fixed Ranging Radar and gun pod's aim point
- Fixed Kiev class carrier "catapult positions" and AI aircraft take-off. Now they can use all six takeoff positions, and supports vertical takeoff.
 
Changes
 
- Real thrust data added based on factory data.
- Yak-38 automatic slats by Gepard
- New vertical capable flight model, weight and torque balanced airframe.
- Changed lift engines thrust angle to 80 degrees to the aft.
- Engine thrust toned down by 10% to reflect real payload lifting capabilities.
- Realistic payload choices added. Be warned, pylons are physically capable to hold much heavier payload than the plane can take off with. See payload info at the end of file.
- Modified weapon stations to hold realistic payload
- Removed plane numbers from 01-09 (Those were in use of Yak-38U two seaters)
- Modification of plane numbers. Yak-38 tend to have lower numbers, grey 38M's take higher numbers, and extra easter egg))) (roughly to represent real planes)
 
Added
 
- Reaction control systems to nose, wingtips and aft fuselage.
- Added gunpod station, exclusively for VSPU-36 (modeled by StationSpecific modified UPK-23)
- Added choice of droptank (Uses Mig-17 400liter tanks currently)
- Manual wing fold anim (Animation key 1 - Shift 1)
- Skins and numbers
- Dedicated engine sound
- Yak-38M alternate sights with rangebar and CCIP (MiG-27, Su-25 style) !!BETA!!
- Yak-38 model without recirculation dams on fuselage (Info from Peter2 and TK)
- Added Siren-I ECM system to Yak-38
- Added Gvozdika ECM system to Yak-38M
 
Kiev class aircraft cruiser new features
 
- Kiev_data_STOL.ini for short take offs (default)
- Kiev_data_VTOL.ini for vertical take offs (recommended for operating helicopters)
- Kiev_data_Player.ini for disabling Catapult #1 to enable free vertical take off by player aircraft or helicopter.
- Extra parking places added
- 6 working launch places (catapults)
- Fake arrestor cables untouched, they are needed for fake hooks used by AI Yak-38s.
 
Overwrite Kiev_data.ini with the desired file.
 
**************************************************************
 
Work in progress list
 
- Yak-38M red, blue and white numbers for the late version grey skin to represent actual rare planes.
- VSPU-36 Gunpod model
- Avionics refinement for Yak-38M
- Soviet Desert Camo (Afghanistan) (Redrawn stock skin)
- Cockpit for both Yak-38 and Yak-38M

SARCASM: Slightly Artistic Representation (of) Clouds And Sky Mod
 
-slightly updated clouds graphics
-rainbow flares like in "Theatre of War: Korea" or "Far Cry 3" :D
-optional default sky colours, most noticeable during dawn/dusk transitions -so you can choose your version
-some additional tweaks here and there (I think)

This is my "Home Grown" ™ multi-layered PSD template set for the STOCK 3rd Wire A-4F Skyhawk, as seen in SF2. (this set was used to re-create the Kuwati Scooters, hence the desert camo layers)
 
It should be noted, the right and left wings are mapped virtually identically, excepting for camo pattern changes. These are notated in the various layers.
 
Some bits MAY be usable on other Scooter models, but this has NOT been tested!!!!
 
As always, improvements/enhancements/corrections and the like are welcomed!!
 
Happy SKinning!

HandyMax Tanker



by Julhelm


 
 
This model represents a "HandyMax" sized tanker, so named due to the fact that their gross displacement of less than 60,000 dwt, and their LOA of less than 200 meters imbues them with a level of versatility that's almost unheard of in today's maritime industry.
 
This model was designed and optimized for SF2:NA, and that means Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. At the very least it requires the latest SF2 series patch for its systems and DX10 visual effects to work properly.
 
To install this package, simply place the folders located inside the .ZIP archive into the mod folder of whichever SF2 title you desire the ship to appear in.
 
The supplied sound effects will require editing of the soundlist.ini file in order to work.
This model package also includes an experimental effect, which will be most evident at night or under similar low-light conditions. Consider it an Easter-egg!

Layered PSD format templates for Pasko's Mosquito FB VI and B Mk.IV
 
These are my (patent pending) Home-Grown Templates ™ for these aircraft. I've left all my layers intact, so it should be fairly easy to see what goes where.
 
It should be noted, the right and left wings are mapped identically. There is a seperate sub-folder for the B Mk.IV seris "body.psd", as it has different panel lines.

This is the Mirage Factory original model updated for SF-2, with my decalset and Spillone's soundtrack, folowing Sandesh hints.
 
I think is useful for new Arthur's 1965 campaign to portrait n. 28 Squadron line up.
 
All credits to Mirage Factory.

@ paulopanz

Please understand that due to game engine limitations this will not play out exactly like the war did historically,
and due to my own personal time limitations, I was not able to do enough research to accurately name all of the ground
units and some of the air-units.
 
Also, I am in no way making any political statement regarding the war that occurred in 1965.
 
To install:
 
Merge the contents of the IndPak65 folder inside the .zip file into your preferred modfolder.
It is recommended that you create a dedicated modfolder for all of your India/Pakistan SF2 needs, but if you know what you are doing,
you can probably merge it all into a "SF2:Everything" install, but don't ask me how if you can't do it yourself. Combatace.com has all of the info you need.
The files contain an edited _targets.ini file that only adds edited NumSquadrons= at a few airbases, especailly since most of the PAF squadrons were
stationed at one airbase near Sarghoda. (changed Mushaf, Halwara and Pathankot airbases).
Also included is a missing tile that goes with Stary's set for the terrain.
 
tested with a full-merged install, both clean and in a heavily modded folder,
You will certainly need SF2, SF2:Europe, SF2:Israel and Expansion 1
If anyone finds anything horribly wrong that I have missed, let me know ASAP, and I will fix it.
 
You will need these user made files...

all of the great modders who created the above files,
TK for staying with it for so long,
everyone at CombatAce.com who has ever answered one of my many "How do I...?"
 
and to Wrench for creating this beautiful terrain, releasing the PAF F-104A and the new PAF Sabre (which I fell in love with while testing this campaign),
and allowing me to toss his targets.ini around like a cheap soda can.

This pack contains the fictional Norwegian Carrier HRM Norskehavet, escorts and aircraft.
Everything you need to make her combat capable and add her own little task force !
