Yak-25M & K (true SF-2 standard, last patch ready)
 
Here I (skins, decals) and Spillone104 (data edits, sound, weapons) upgraded old but gold Pasko's Yak-25 for SF-2 and made it more historically correct.
 
References from Y.Gordon Aerofax fantastic book Yak-25/28.
 
So we have now:
 
Yak-25M only guns radar interceptor (6 skins) [historical standard]
 
Yak-25K no guns* missile interceptor (2 skins) very small serie,
quite experimental plane.
 
(*) They were removed but not their shapes. BTW You have an optional data.ini, just for fun with guns, too.
 
new 3 digit old numbers, 2 digit numbers (red, blue and yellow series taken from EriKgen Tu-128 and edited)
 
To install: all in mod folder, as usual.
 
Original Readme included.
 
Take care.
 
Paulopanz
 
NB: In screenshot You can see the weathered skin, with radar radome free from nose paint.

Vought F4U-5 Corsair, Fuerza Aérea Hondureña (Honduran Air Force)
 
- For SF2, Any and All,
 
This is a modification of The Mirage Factory's F4U-7 (French Navy version), into the earlier, and almost identical (albiet modified), F4U-5 version as used by the Honduran Air Force in the 1950s and 60s. TMFs original -7 readme is included. This is an SF2 revamp of the version I uploaded a few years ago.
 
This mod makes use of the latest patch level tweeks for randomization of aircraft serial/ID numbers. So, make sure you're at least at June 2011 or above level. Included are a new SF2-style hangar screen, some weapons, engine sound and a pilot figure. A Userlist is included, even though this is a "Nationalized" version. The WW2-era bombs are NOT included; you can find them in the GunnyPak, or edit the loadout ini to use stock 3rdWire ones, if you have SF2:Is Expansion Pak 1.
 
This is a COMPLETE aircraft, with almost all the trimmings, ready to unzip and fly away. Many tweeks have been performed on this, mostly by Column5 to the FlightModel. Some data ini mods by me (duplicating the HVAR stations) allow for wingfold and the ordanance to "stay put" the pylons. Canopy & wingfold is activated by manual animation keys; use Shift/0 for the canopy, Shift/9 for wingfold. Obviously, the FAH dosen't have carriers, but research indicated that the wingfold was never disabled. As always, all the external lighting has been updated to be historically/mechanically correct.
 
As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install. Also, please review the Legal disclaimers at the bottom - some changes have been implimented.
 
Special thanks to TMF, and Sony Tuckson in particular for permission to include all the bits and pieces. Many Thanks man!
 
Happy Landings!

SF2 Asian F-16 Viper Pack Part 1
 
 
First - My sincere thanks to Sony Tuckson and the entire Mirage Factory Team for the permission to use the F-16 Files.
 
 
This is for SF2 Full Merge Installed updated to July 11 patch.
 
The file contain the following squadrons:
 
 
**Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF)
 
21st FS (Luke AF, pilot training)
21st FS Gamblers (Lead bird for the squadron)
21st FS Special

401st CAG (Commander of Air Group aircraft)

455th CAG
 
Aggressor Blue
Aggressor Brown
Aggressor Green
Aggressor Grey
Aggressor Snow
 
ED 702 (Aircraft 702 (A model) and aircraft 822 (B model) were assigned to Edwards AF for testing and weapon intergration before being sent to Luke AF to join the training fleet)
 
Flying Tiger (401 TFW honoring the "AVG" of the Flying Tigers)
ROCAF Solo
 
 
 
**Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF)
 
140th SQ
140th SQ Late
 
143rd SQ (added just for fun, never flew the F-16A Blk 15 OCU)
145th SQ (also added for fun)
 
311th TFTS (Squadron at Luke AF to train the pilots, very short live)
 
425th FS (Current squadron at Luke AF to train the RSAF pilots, added for fun)
 
 
 
**Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF)
 
102nd SQ Early
102nd SQ Late
103rd SQ Early
103rd SQ Late
403rd SQ
Wing 1
Wing 4
 
 
 
**Indonesia Air Force (TNI-AU)
 
3rd SQ Blue Camo
3rd SQ Blue LV
3rd SQ Grey Camo
3rd SQ Grey LV
 
 
The files above represented the F-16AM Blk20 for the ROCAF, F-16A Blk15 OCU for the RSAF, F-16A_ADF for the RTAF, and F-16A Blk15OCU for the TNI-AU.
 
Due to the "fake pilot" mode, you will see the IFF blade on all Blk15 OCU by RSAF and TNI-AU when there shouldn't be... But who cares, it looks good :)
 
As always, great care is taken to insure proper skin, decal-type/size/position and color when possible.
 
Any modification that is not fully represented to the actual aircraft is made to improve the looks of the skin rather then to downgrade the quality of the actual aircraft skin and decals, or simply it is beyond my ability.
 
I DID NOT upload the pilot, effects, and weapons because of three things:
 
1. If you have been with the commuty for a long time, I assume you have it all and will modify it to your own liking.
2. If you are new to the community, then you have a lot to read and upload to get the full impact of the wonderful work that many have contributed.
3. I am too lazy to do it for you...
 
 
Additional Credits:

If I missed anyone it is not intentional and you will be credited :)
 
 
Cheers!

Layered Templates for Stock 3rdWire F-16A "Netz"
These are the PSD templates that I created from the stock bitmaps for the Netz from SF2:I.
 
These are NOT hi-rez, but only 1024 x 1024 maps. You can experiment with upsizing, but I personally feel that 1024 is perfect 'in middle' size, that looses no detail in game, and will keep frame rates smooth. (after all, the game engine WILL resize to fit)
 
Feel free to make changes, repaint -the purpose of the upload- and correct any/all errors that I may have induced. Remember, folks, I ain't Sundowner, so things won't be as pretty has his!! (Ant being the Skinning Deity)
 
I've left ALL my 'working' layers intacat, so there's undoubtedly a bunch of stuff you won't be needed there. Also included are templates for the pylons and drop tanks.
 
Enjoy!

This is a pack of 2048x2048 skins for the SF2 Expansion pack 2 Hunter FGA9.
 
I've set them up as stand alone aircraft as they use slightly different bump maps to the stock TW items, everything else stays the same.

An add-on for Wrench's A-16 Attack Falcon. This adds the PAVE PENNY laser receiver to the right chin station. Since there currently isn't a proper PP pod, I sub'd the HTS pod and made it a laser designator and painted it to match the photos I found.
 
Follow the README and have some fun.

Europe 1963: Red Thunder 2
 
A nice tweak to the stock Red Thunder campaign. With the new MirageIII and Lightning interceptors, I was getting bored of the same old "Kill the Il-28 Beagles" missions. So, I added several wings of Tu-16 for the Soviets, a couple of wings of Tu-22, as well as a few more units of fighters.
 
For the West, we get a few USMC wings (A-4C, F-4B F-8C), the USAF gets the F-104G (make it flyable, its easy!), and the F-4C. One of the Lightning wings will be upgraded to the F3 early in the campaign as well. MirageIIIC makes a big appearance as well.
 
I chose 1963 for this campaign because the F-104G was available, the USAF introduced the Phantom, and the Supersonic Tu-22 had just entered service. I could also sneak the Lightning F3 in.
 
To install, simply extract the CAMPAIGNS folder (or its content if it already exists) into the desired SF2 file in your saved games folder in My Documents. Seems fine with July2011 update so far.
 
Required: SF2 Europe +Expansion2 , SF2 Vietnam , SF2 Israel
 
Recommended : Stary's CE terrain update, Flyable F-104G, MirageIIIC(DLC)

i made this bombs for the Buccaneer project but i release this pack as stand alone version since this bombs where not only carried by the Buccaneer , a lot of other aircraft from the RAF and RN did carry this bombs as well
 
to install simply drop them in to your weapons folder
 
Note:
especially for the WE.177A is it important to make a direct hit since the 10kt warhead makes only a "limited" damage,
best results will be with this parameters for bomb release
Speed = 450kts
Altitude = 10000ft
Range to target = 1.8Nm
 
on some Aircraft you have to edit the data.ini by adding NUC to the weapontype of the selected weaponsstation
 
have fun

Again a special thanks to Dave who strongly wanted this airplane to which initially I was not so interested. I hope I did forget no one.
This version has tanks built in; with the tank skins in the right aircraft skin folder . 3D models and Skins are from mppd.
This should also fix the shadow issues. Also fixes some weps position issues.
 
To install just put into your SF2 saved games/thirdwire/StrikeFighters2 and let it overwrite folders as needed.
 
In the F-101A/C folders is a folder call 3 gun version and that is for anyone who wants to use the version that was used in Europe that had the a gun removed and replaced with TACAN equipment.
