Strike Fighters 2 Series by Thirdwire

18 Water maps for enabling ships on your seas!
************************************************
How to Install.
 
Copy the BMP file for the terrain you want into the terrain map.
e.g. DBS_Water.bmp into the DBS folder.
Make sure that in the DBS.INI the line "WaterMap=DBS_Water.bmp"
(WITHOUT THE QUOTES!!!)
is there under the [Terrain] section!
 
Also under the [Terrain] section make sure you have:
NavalMap=TRUE
 
If all that is done, and that's all to it, then you should be able to take off
in your F-14 from the carrier on the sea on that map.
(I hope this is clear)
 
My best regards, Kodiak.

I began to made this skinset since the original one was not of my taste and ended up making some others fictitious.
 
Must mention since the model is no longer available, the skins apply for the lucky ones who has it.
 
Grey-Blue and Platypus skins, represent production aircraft already in service, while Soviet Navy and Forest ones represent fictitious planes for use in deep Europe and maritime.
 
Additionally, i'm adding a Hangar, loadout and loading pics to add some flavor to the game.
 
Su-34.ini has been modified to use my planes in first place, but that can be easily changed, for the plane of your choice.
 
I´m also using a couple of pilots made by The Trooper, with a big thanks to him.
 
Last i want to thank to Daniel "Cocas" Lieabert and Martin Kratochvil (76.IAP BlackBird) for their kind advise to create this skins, and the patience they had to me.
 
Skins are intended to be used by anyone here, can be shared and given away for everybody, but cannot be used as payware of any class.
 
Hope you all have fun with them.
 
Best Regards.
 
Enoc Marquez AKA Flogger23.

Hinch's Ark Royal SF-NA ready and working.
 
All credits to Hinchinbrooke as I made only some editings.
 
Inside the icluded readme You will have explain how to edit Buccaneers, Scimitars, Attackers, Sea Vixens and Sea Hawks for carrier operations.
 
Some escorts will follow. Stay tuned.

Two of the Leanders with Y-100 machinery,
and five out of the six with Y-136 machinery,
were given the so-called "Batch 2" or "Exocet"
conversion.
This conversion gave them Exocet anti-shipping
missiles in place of the 4.5in gun mount, 2 additional
Seacat systems, and the ability to operate the
Lynx helicopter.
 
Here You have original model by SUICIDAL upgraded
to SF-2NA standards by COCAS (3D works)
and by me (decals and ini edits).
 
I thank also CADETEBRA for his help in testings.
 
 
The Exocet and back seacat mounts, as on original model,
aren't active.
 
Maybe in a further update ....
 
Thank You Marcos & Daniel for this marvel.
 
 
Happy Sailing.

As constructed, the County-class ships were armed with a pair
of twin 4.5in gun mountings.
The second batch of four ships (Antrim, Fife, Glamorgan and Norfolk)
were refitted in the mid 1970s - this saw their 'B' position turrets
removed and replaced by four single MM38 Exocet launcher boxes.
This made the County-class ships the only Royal Navy ships to be
fitted with three separate types of guided missile.
 
Antrim and Glamorgan both served in the Falklands conflict.
 
 
Sir Hinchinbrooke made both these vessels for Falklands mod.
 
I remade all 4 County Class batch 2.
 
As hull has a mapping issue, and can't use decals I was forced
to make 4 separate ships, with new painted numbers.
 
The guns work and the Sea Slug is a deadly weapon (try it).
 
As in original ones the Exocet and Sea cat launchers aren't active.
 
All the glory for Hinch, hoping he could have original files to
upgrade this fantastic model.
 
Enjoy.

This is a Type 82 destroyer, the only vessel of her class to be built
for the Royal Navy.
Originally intended as the first of a class of new large destroyers
to escort the CVA-01 aircraft carriers projected to come into
service in the early 1970s, Bristol turned out to be a unique ship.
The rest of the class were cancelled when the CVA-01 carriers fell
victim to the 1966 Strategic Defence Review.
 
She joined the Royal Navy task force in the South Atlantic in the
1982 Falklands War.
 
In 1987 she replaced the County class destroyer HMS Kent as the
Britannia Royal Naval College training ship.
 
This is a remake of original Hinchinbrooke's model for SF-1.
 
I applied a new number and edited inis.
 
Deadly Sea Dart working.
 
Enjoy.

Baltic region HR tileset v1.0
 
"Additional seasons pack"
 
for SF2/SF2NA March 2012 patch-level
 
April 2nd 2012
 
These are additional seasoned variants of "Baltic region HR tileset" that were not included with the original upload.
 
To install unpack and cop content of Sweden folder to your terrains/Sweden -overwrite when asked.
 
The new seasons are light snow before winter, thaw and early spring.
Modified Sweden.ini to incorporate the new seasons included.
 
 

The Scandinavian Front: Midvintermörker
By The Scandinavian Front Team
 
On Boxing Day 2012, Sweden wakes up to a new world; A Sweden they have never seen before. A powerless and dark Sweden. A day everything changed. Sweden is under attack; Gotland is being invaded by Russian Forces and sabotage patrols wreak havoc in the major cities.
 
Försvarsmakten bets everything on one card; Operation Gudrun. They must repulse the Russians from Gotland or loose the Island forever.
 
 
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. For Windows XP Users, it is usually in My Documents. 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.
 
Team TSF recommends Starys Tiles for the terrain. It looks alot better. Install it last; when all TSF packages are installed and working.

The Daring class was a class of eleven destroyers built for the Royal Navy (RN) and Royal Australian Navy (RAN).
Constructed after World War II, and entering service during the 1950s, eight ships were constructed for the RN
(HMS Daring (D05), HMS Dainty (D108), HMS Diamond (D35), HMS Defender (D114), HMS Decoy (D106), HMS Diana (D126),
HMS Duchess (D154),HMS Delight (D119)) and three ships for the RAN (HMAS Vampire (D11), HMAS Voyager (D04),
HMAS Vendetta (D08)).
Two of the RN destroyers were subsequently sold to and served in the Peruvian Navy (MGP).
HMS Diana (D126) was BAP Palacios (DM-73) and HMS Decoy (D106) BAP Ferré (DM-74).
They had some modifications as 4 Exocet.
HMS Duchess (D154) was sold to Australia after HMAS Voyager (D04) sunk colliding with HAMS Melbourne.
A further eight ships were planned for the RN but were cancelled before construction commenced, while a fourth
RAN vessel was begun but was cancelled before launch and broken up on the slipway.
 
As userlist function isn't well experimented for ships I made 3 different classes by nation.
 
A later RAN skin with USS style numbers is included but StartDefaultDate entry seems not implemented.
 
The Peruvian ships Exocets missiles could be added later if someone with max files wiil do the job.
 
CREDITS:
 
- Hinchinbrooke for original outstanding model
- Wrench and me for decals and ini edits
 
TO INSTALL:
 
- Put incuded Objects folder in your main mod one
 
SUGGESTION:
 
- use it with HMS Ark Royal or HAMS Melbourne / Sidney to escort them
 
Enjoy.

Avia B-71 plane for Strike Fighters 2 by ThirdWire
 
B-71 was license build Tupolev SB-2 used by czechoslovakia
 
unfortunately it came too late
 
Czechoslovakian Air Force received 60 Russian-built SB with Hispano Suiza 12Ybrs engines in April and May 1938. Another 101 bombers and 60 reconnaissance aircraft were license-built Avia B-71 but only 101 were built.
 
Credits:
 
Cockpit used in this package is build by Stary and it is not 100% correct for this plane
 
but close enough. Thank you Stary

Baltic region HR tileset v1.0
 
for SF2 March 2012 patch-level
 
April 1st 2012
 
optional tiles, ground TOD objects for "The Scandinavian Front MOD" by JonathanRL or stand-alone Sweden map by gillg
 
Hats off to both of you for your efforts guys!
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------GAMEPLAY NOTE: Due to large amount of ground objects per tile (around 800-1100+ per single tile)
it's highly recommended to use ObjectsFade=TRUE statement in options.ini to increase ingame framerates
 
Also, due to my crappy slow internet connection, I removed from the initial upload two seasons (thaw and light snow) which eventually will be uploaded later
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This mod assumes one has at least installed and tested Sweden map by gillg, more preferably stand-alone TSF mod folder with one of JonathanRL&Team's Scandinavian mods, which includes the Sweden map in them too.
 
Installation:
To install unpack this archive and copy or move the content of Baltic Tileset to your Terrains folder, overwrite when asked.
 
!!!Be warned, due to 1024x1024 textures and large TOD files, the map takes some time to load at first run!!!

This is a full conversion and improvement of the existing Slava class cruiser for SF2:NA/March 2012. Along with the expected effects, weapons, ship names, and collisions modifications, I fixed non-working radars and weapons on the ship and streamlined the data in a more logical, consistent fashion.
 
I also created a new flight deck LOD file and adjusted the relevant data to enable helicopter operations. AS I didn't make the original model, the positioning is based on guesswork and trial&error. Embark from the flight deck at your own risk.
 
 
An alternate anti-ship data file for the Slava is included in the ship's folder. If you want it to launch Sandbox missiles, open the Slava.ini file and change "ObjectDataFile=Slava_DATA.INI" to "ObjectDataFile=Slava_DATA SSM.INI"
 
Enjoy!

This is a full conversion and improvement of the existing Udaloy I and Udaloy II class destroyers for SF2:NA/March 2012. Along with the expected effects, weapons, ship names, and collisions modifications, I fixed non-working radars on the ship and streamlined the data in a more logical, consistent fashion.
 
I also created a new flight deck LOD file and adjusted the relevant data to enable helicopter operations. As I didn't make the original model, the positioning is based on guesswork and trial&error. Embark from the flight deck at your own risk.
 
 
An optional data file for the Udaloy II is included which allows the ship to launch SS-N-22 Sunburn missiles instead of SA-N-9 Gauntlet SAMs. This version still has a measure of air defense in the form of Kashtan CIWS and SA-N-11 missiles. Feel free to use whichever suits your needs. Enjoy!<br class="Apple-interchange-newline">

F-111 Pit repaint for SU-24.
 
This is my attempt to repaint NormanKnight's F-111 pit to represent the Su-24's pit.
 
It is no way accurate as it is what it is, a repaint of an existing pit.
 
There are some issues, some of the translations are probably (definitely) wrong!
Any Russian speakers are welcome to offer alternative suggestions.
 
The artificial horizon and HSI are both of the western type not Russian, this is due to the existing model and my lack of ability to even know if it could be changed.
 
I would like to thank NormanKnight for creating the F-111 pit, Fastcargo for allowing me to use it.
 
Sony Tuckson for allowing me to use a couple of textures from the Mirage Factory's Mig 29 Pit.
 
ErikGen for allowing me to use some of his radar screen textures from his TU-128.
 
The whole Combatace community for generally helping me out in the past.
 
And finally TK for producing this game and allowing it to be moddable.
 
Freeware use only.
 
Hope you enjoy this mod.
 
Mikeymead.
 
Updated version: Changed file from 7zip to winzip as some people were having problems extracting the original.

This bmp replaces the stock TW "Initializing system... Please wait..." splash screen. Just drop it in the folder "Menu" found in the folder where your Strike Fighters 2 is installed. (eg "C:\Program Files\Strike Fighters 2\Menu\")

Fletcher Class Destroyer (1941-46)v1.1 by GrinchWSLG
 
This is representative of a war era Fletcher. To be exact its a late war version. The model is a mix of different ships, specifically the Kidd and the Sullivans. Its finished in Measure 22. A paintkit is included for those who want to finish it in the various other Measures used during the war.
 
V1.1: Updated to SF2:NA/March 2012 patch standards. If you intend to use this with a previous version of the game, either use the FS1 version or expect some weirdness.
 
 
Installation:
 
1. Place the Fletcher folder in User/Saved Games/Thirdwire/StrikerFighters2(whatever version you use)/Objects/GroundObject
 
2. That's it. List seemed kind of dumb with just one item.
 
The default texture is 2048 as its a big object. If this is too large for you or you plan on having many Fletchers on screen, I've included a 1024x1024 texture as well. Its located in the 1024Texture folder.
