Strike Fighters 2 Series by Thirdwire

This goes under the double header since VFA-195 is currently transitioning to the F/A-18E but so far no newe on what the CAG jet may look like so after a request made this based on one of the current schemes (or last one).

Simply drop in your FA-18E folder and go fly. Can work for SF1 except for drop tank textures.

The G 91Y was a tactical fighter-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft capable of carrying out direct support, close interdiction, photographic reconnaissance and air combat missions.
 
Instructions:
This aircraft is for SF2, SF2V, SF2I and SF2E last patch.

Bf109g-10/U4, I./JG 11, Germany, Early 1945.
 
By this date, JG 11 was equipped essentially with Bf109g-10 and g-14 aircraft.The yellow JG 11 Reich Defence fuselage band should not be confused with the narrower Eastern Front markings. THe yellow rudder should theoretically be accompanied by a yellow band around the nose - the final type of quick recognition markings introduced in early 1945. Needless to say, by this stage, official directives were not always scrupulously respected!
 
Despite the fact that MG151/20 gondolas were rarely if ever fitted to g-10 type 109s, this aircraft has them fitted as standard for all air defence missions.
 
For SF2 only.

Bf109g-10/U4, 2./JG 300, Borkheide, September 1944.
 
JG 300 was originally created in July 1943 as a Wilde Sau free-range night-fighter Geschwader, but owing to the high accident rate and the relative lack of success, was
transferred at the very beginning of 1944 to daylight operations.
 
For SF2 only.

UPDATED! Now includes modified ini files for the Dev A-Team WGr.21 mortar!
Thanks to Capun and Company!
 
For those who downloaded the original version, the necessary inis are also available separately in the Weapons section.

Modified ini files for the Dev A Team WGr21 weapons add-on.
 
You will need to download the original files here:
http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/
Under "Weapons and Vehicles"
 
This will modify the WGr21 projectiles into IRMs, but without the growl or ability to manoeuvre. Use as unguided rockets from a distance of about 800+ metres. Too close and you will find that your probability of missing actually gets higher - we have cheated a bit, in order to try and get as close as possible to the
originals, which detonated automatically between 1000 and 1500 metres after launch, according to fuzing.
 
These are anti-aircraft projectiles, and were not used against ground targets.
 
For use with the JG 300 Bf109g-10 to be found here:

Many thanks to Cesar 'Capun' Pun and the Dev A-Team for the visual models and skins, and for thinking up the initial idea!

The second of five skin packs for your F8U-1 Crusader. Included in this set are the following squadrons:
 
FAGU- Fleet Air Gunnery Unit Pacific, NAS El Centro,Calif.
VF-124 'Crusader College'
VF-174 'HellRazors'
VMF(AW)-323 'Death Rattlers'
VMF-215 'Fighting Corsairs'
 
A read-me file with installation steps is included.

Bf109g-10/U4, JG 53, Kirrlach, February 1945.
 
By this date, JG 53 was equipped essentially with Bf109g-10 and k-4 aircraft, and had been absorbed completely into the Reich Defence organisation. The black fuselage band was attributed on 20/02/1945 in replacement of the earlier rust-red one.

Here is my cockpit re-paint for the F-111A that comes with the SF2V Ground War Expansion Pack. I don't know the creator of the cockpit as he left the community some years ago. But I give him credit for the beautiful job on the 3D part.
 
Directions:
 
Drop into your F-111A folder and overwrite when asked.
 
Enjoy!

Another collection of various hangars/walls etc aimed mainly at desert type terrain although they can be used in any you like.

Spitfire MkIXc, No.312 (Czech) Squadron RAF, June-July 1944
 
For use ONLY with SF2 including the Israel Expansion Pack. This will NOT work if you do not have the stock TW Spitfires installed and working.

Modern RAF Smart Bombs.
 
Includes:
 
-Enhanced Paveway II
 
-Enhanced Paveway III
 
-Paveway IV
 
In order to simulate the fact that these weapons can be either GPS or laser guided depending on what the aircrew decide before dropping them I have included two of each type. One is GPS guided and the other is laser guided. On my RAF aircraft (GR4, GR7, GR9 and Typhoon) that use these bombs I have used the loadout.ini file to load a mix of GPS and laser guided versions of the same bomb to imitate that flexability in the air.
Credit goes to 331KillerBee for his Ordnance Shop II where these weapons have been modified from.
 
Drop the files into your weapons folder to install, easy as that.

Ara ALOUETTE III For SF2 By Tracker
 
This pack contains a conversion to SF2 of the Beautiful Alouette III made by Tracker.
All credits goes to the author, i'm just the man who made the conversion.
 
Installation : decompress rar file in a temporary location then put everything in your Mod Folder. After you can go flying !
Warning ! ArgentineNavy must be declared in your terrain's limitednation so as to your chopper's weapons work !

This is a "What If" nation missile system based off of the real SA-18 Grouse (or what I could find though internets sources).
 
It is set for the "Taliban" nation for my Afghanistan install but can be adapted of course for any map or nation:
 
[Nationxxx]
Name=Taliban
DisplayName=Taliban
Alignment=ENEMY
Mercenary=TRUE
PilotNameList=NamesMercs.lst
RankList=RanksUSAF.lst
CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst
Formation.Fighter=USFighter
Formation.Attack=USFighter
Formation.Bomber=USBomber
Formation.Transport=USBomber
Formation.Tank=USTank
Formation.MobileAD=USAD
PilotTrainingStandard=EXCELLENT
GenderRatio=0
DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav
DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav
DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav
SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat
SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.str
StartDate=1994
 
It uses Pasko's "SAM Gunner" since I have no modeling skills and is setup for SF2. It can be of course adapted for SF1 but that requires a bit of work that can be found in the SF2 Knowledge Base and is a drag and drop as all files and folders are already organized.
 
Afghanistan rules of thumb:
 
Kandahar-Shindand-Herat-Qala I Naw "ring" stay above 24,000ft MSL + for traveling. When you break that (usually 23,000 ft) you may get shot at. Other areas roughly 22,000 ft MSL + is a good altitude to stay above but again use flares conservatively. It's not very accurate but if enough are fired you will get shot down. I've seen earlier versions of this shred SEAD flights.
 
This is strictly for What If scenarios or installs rather than real world setups as so far there is no heavy use of SAMs in-country.

After finding a good resource I was able to skin this aircraft
 
Able to be used in SF1 as well as the drop tank texture is not required. Simply drop in the FA-18E folder and go fly.

Hello everyone!
 
These are a bunch of skins for SF2 created using Sundowner's templates and by repainting
some stock BMP's to add some color to your campaigns, nothing fancy here.
 
Included are:
VF-201..............F-4B
VF-213..............F-4B_65 (as USN F-4G)
4th FWg.............F-4E (for TMF F-4E ARN-101)
VF-92 CVA-64........F-4J
VMFA-235............F-4J
 
Thanks to Sundowner for the templates & TW for the excellent sim!
 
Have fun!

Angle of Attack Indexer mod for Strike Fighters 2:Vietnam
 
This is a mod about AOA Indexers of all stock Navy aircrafts comming with Strike Fighters 2:Vietnam. It does not include
Phantoms and Corsairs used by USAF. Use at your own risks!
 
Actually, Angle of Attack Indexers of navy aircraft are totally unusable to make carriers landings, altought the sequence
of lights are correct colors are reversed, and angles requested by indexers are too high and wont allow you to see where
you are going (Except for Crusaders). This mod is designed to allow you to come at the lowest possible speed and with a
correct angle of attack to keep a good view to the deck. Angles are not set to be used with the Carrier ILS system wich
seems to bee steep but rather with the standard Navy Daybreak Approach, see included diagrams.
 
I recommand you to save all modded cockpit.ini of all Navy Skyhawk,Corsairs,
Crusaders and Phantoms before applying this mod. Simply drop the Object folder into your
Mod Strike Fighters directory and it's done. If you want to use correct indexers lights only ,WITHOUT
corrected angles, simply remove them from aircraft's folders before droping it.

SF2 F-8J_FN (Aeronavale)
 
Require SF2 merged install...
 
Aircraft is base on Thirdwire F-8J_69.
 
Copy and paste the content to the appropriate folders.
 
 
The content contain the following squadrons:
 
EPNER (French Test Pilot School)
11F Flotille
12F Flotille (Three special schemes)
14F Flotille (Two schemes)
15F Flotille
16F Flotille
17F Flotille
 
Under the French Navy, only 11F and 12F Flotille flew the Crusaders.
 
The skin colors are Blue/ Medium Grey/ Grey and USN Grey.
 
 
It is my hope that someone or the MF Team would make a F-8P_FN, as this was the latest version to fly under the Aeronavale.
 
I have made extensive tweak on the .INI, Avionics (HUD), Data, and Loadout. I also try to make the aircraft as authentic as possible.
 
Due to the .LOD of the F-8J, there is only the twin pylon rack on the fuselage, if you choose the single weapon option, you will see the missile mounted on the twin rack pylon. The looks is not too bad (you would not see it if you select a larger missile type such as the R-530), if it bothers you, you can edit the .Data and delete this option.

Unified Effects Pack
 
For Strike Fighters Series 2
 
version 1.0
26 FEB 2011
 
 
This effects pack is a compilation of many effects I did over the years for Strike Fighters and First Eagles series of flight simulators by Thirdwire.
 
Build around "Desert Storm FX Pack beta" released in early 2009, this pack replaces most of the stock effects with new ones, most of them volumeric or "3D" in appearance. Also used are few reworked/tuned down effects from my "Hollywood Explosions" mod, aswell as several never before relased ones.
