Strike Fighters 2 Series by Thirdwire

This is re-release of my tileset for Gepard's Formosa Strait/Taiwanhaxia map.
 
These are the original "lost and found" tiles I created in 2010 for Taiwan and released previously in downscaled 512 version.
 
Included are two seasons, all the .tods (trees, buildings; both in small and big versions), necessary inis and other bits and pieces from the original release, slightly tweaked here and there. Oh, slightly different trees graphics too.
 
You can install this either into clean version of Gepard's terrain, or into your existing already modded Formosa
(that is with the !RECOMMENDED! Wrench's fixes and tweaks, my previous tileset/treemod)
 
 
 

A skin for Dels' AH-64D specifically but can be used on his AH-64A as well. Simply drop the folders where they need to be and go fly. Note this is the skin only.

RDAF F-100D Superpack
 
This is an extensive remake/update of previous
great Hgbn masterpieces for SF-1 (all credits to him),
fully compatible with last patches standards and
with a whole new historical decalset.
 
The new Silver, Green & Brown skins are sorted in 59, 64 & 75 in NF4 stlyle,
adding tree planes to your mod folder.
 
INSTALL: as usual.
 
This work is dedicated to my very friend Henrik, ... the Viking.
 
I hope, like me, You like the "Hun"!
 
Yours
 
Paulopanz

squadronlist.ini with all Swedish wings.

Jenjoy!

Improved Afterburner Effects for Strike Fighters 2 V1.0
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Installation:
 
Put the .INI and .TGA files in the Effects folder.
User\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFihgters2\Effects
 
<<<VERY IMPORTANT!>>>
 
Then the real work begins:
 
Open the DATA.ini of the aircraft you want to use these effects.
 
Since this effect is a combination of 2 emitters, one volumetric and the other in the form of a ribbon(for shock diamonds)... You need to duplicate the engine or engines in this way:

MiG-15UTI "Midget" Jet Trainer by Pasko, for SF2
=For SF2, Any and All (but Full-4 Merged Prefered/Reccomended)
 
Modification, tweeks, compilations and other adjustments to Pasko's MiG-15UTI trainer, to bring in more in line with SF2 requirements.
 
Data ini tweeks include an all new FM, based off the stock 15bis; please note that as that is usually an AI-only aircraft, there may be some small issues. Fly accordingly.
 
Several skin/decal sets have been compiled from the Archives, to try and present as complete a set as possible. Included skins are:
 
Soviet Silver
EAF Silver
LSK Silver
Mozambique (a pale blue)
Desert camo (Iraqi)
 
Also included are the weapons (ok, the slipper-style drop tank), 'Early MiG' pilot figures and M15 seat, and the VK-1 sound. New Post-Oct patch SF2 hangar screens are included, rebuilt from the original 2004 release version. As expected, the canopy still operates via the standard or garden variety manual animation keystroke -shift/0.
 
Is should be noted, that most of the original work was done by suhjake, and is taken from his MiG-15bis & 15UTI pack from 2009 (available here at CA). I just did a little fine tuning and compiling. THIS pak replaces the UTI from that one.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! As always, the usual "Notes" section for other interestering details and stuff.
 
Happy Landings!

Just a dark grey version of the "what if" VFA1 for the F-35C; same decals as the light grey skin.
See the readme.

Ground Effects Collection
---------------------------------
 
Just a few sample noise textures from the hordes I have collected & been experimenting with.
 
They replace the stock noisenormal.bmp that create an impressive feeling of substance, texture & speed at low level.
Enhancing already detailed terrains & giving new life to older low rez tiles. :-)
 
Installation:
---------------
 
Select a NOISENORMAL.bmp from on of the numbered folders & place it in the specific terrain folder that you intend to use it for.
 
E.G.: \Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Terrains\Desert
 
Notes:
--------
 
Terrain texture needs to be set to High or Unlimited to see the effects!!!!
 
Best results are when that sun is at a lower angle, at noon the ground effect is not as visible!!!!
 
Some noise textures work better than others on some terrains! You'll have to experiment with what works best with your particular tile set.
 
As a guide this is what I use but you may find others more suitable.
 
Desert: NOISENORMAL - 2
Grass or foliage: NOISENORMAL - 7
General: NOISENORMAL -3
 
 
Problems/bugs:
------------------
 
All texturs have been tested in SF2 fully mereged. (BuildDate=Aug 2011)
I have noticed no adverse effects on my system & game settings!
 
However....
 
Some users could experience slight haze or shimmering depending on there system, game & graphics card settings.
 
My FPS seems unaffected but some users could experience a slight FPS drop.
 
 
Credits:
---------
 
These textures have been made’ free to use’ & have been collected from a variety of locations on the net.
All credit goes to their original creators & only minor changes have been done by me.
 
 
 
Enjoy

As of the end of October 2011 Libya is without its dictator
and a free nation.In Malta, a Mirage F.1 was revealed recently, sporting
a new roundel combined with the old flag of red over black over green
with the white moon and star. this is an effort to recreate that particular
set of new markings, together with a new nations.ini entry.
 
Hope you'll enjoy the new Libyan insignia!

Operation Isbjörn 1.1 Patch

http://combatace.com/files/file/12318-sf2e-the-scandinavian-front-operation-isbjorn/
 
Kindly note main package version number as it may have been upgraded to include patches.
 
FEATURES:
 
New Squadron: F 1 Hässlö
Operating J 33 Venoms, they are preforming Night Fighter duties for the Swedish Air Force. They will hunt Soviet Aircraft in all mission types
under the cover of darkness.
Minor Changes:
- Minor Tweaks to Ground War. Helsinki should now not be the first city attacked.
 
- Naming tweaks
 
- A number of minor campaign changes.
 
- paulopanz J 34 Hawker Hunter added for people w/o DLC 008.
 
Note:
The Venom is not the NF version, hence it lacks Radar. This is not a big issue in SF2, as the MiGs you encounter glady
put on their afterburners in case you cannot see them properly.
 
Credits:
Thanks to: Pasko, Column5, Gramps, Wrench and paulopanz for the Venom.
Thanks Knug for the J33 Skin.

SF2E: The Scandinavian Front
Operation Isbjörn
By Jonathan RL
 
In 1956, diplomatic talks about the Baltic Sea region between Finland, Sweden and the Soviet Union broke down. Angered and afraid of
NATOs influence in Scandinavia, The Soviet Union demands that Finland and Sweden joins the Warsaw pact to ensure the borders of the
Union. Both countries refuse. On October 1th, the Soviet Union deploys forces to force the countries into the pact.
 
Sweden, Finland and Norway set condition Isbjörn, activating an alliance against Soviet Agression and rallies to defend Scandinavia...
 
Installation Instructions:
Simply unzip it all into your mod folder. I would advise you to use a clean installation so there is as little risk as possible
for errors. This mod does not overwrite any original data and can be used alongside any Central Europe themed mod Campaign - in theory.
 
Important Notes:
SF2 Europe is a requirement. Preferably, use a fully merged installation. The Terrain itself is not very combatible with the other games, hence the requirement.
 
Aside from that, no other downloads required. The package contains all necessary aircraft, weapons and objects.
 
While the DLC 008 Hawker Hunter is not required, its strongly recommended for this campaign. If you want J28B Vampire Squadrons, you need to own SF2: Israel Expansion Pack 1.
 
Kindly report any bugs or issues to me by PM or in proper thread.

HURC'S SF2V AIRFIELD REBUILD MOD 1.1
 
This mod is was inspired by "Piecemeals Airfield mod to complement Stary's Green Hell3 mod for SF2V". Thanks Piecemeal, Stary and all you other crazy modders! Thanks TK!
 
I basically rebuilt the airfields on both sides with new objects and layouts. I wanted to make them so that you will not find allied equipment on an enemy airfield, or at least not enough to notice. I didn't think you should see USAF type revetments on a Russian designed and Chinese built airfield such as those in North Vietnam. Many of the same terrain objects that Piecemeal used are still included and along with new ones that were not yet created at the time of his mods release.
 
Good Hunting!
Steve "Hurc" Crane

this is are complete sets of Templates for each Buccaneer version
 
Templates are in pds format
