Strike Fighters 2 Series by Thirdwire

SF2 Pakistan Viper Skin Pack
 
 
 
This is for SF2 Full Merge Installed updated to August 2011 patch.
 
The file contain the "skin" files of the following squadrons:
 
F-16A_Blk15_PAK:
 
9th MLU
9th SQ
11th MLU
11th SQ
85723
85728
TEF (Test and Evaluation Flight, same as OT&E in the USA)
 
F-16B_Blk15_PAK:
 
9th MLU
9th SQ
11th MLU
11th SQ
PAK (MLU test aircraft)
 
NOTE:
 
I name my aircraft as stated above. You need to go to the decal.ini and change the name to fit your own aircraft, otherwise the skin decals will not show up.
 
I tried to add the F16-005.bmp but I think the aircraft .LOD does not read it so I deleted it. The F-16A/B_Blk15 is still the old one. The new aircraft when MF decided to upload will read the F16-005, but only in .DDS file format.
 
 
 
Additional Credits:
 
Migbuster for his great viper templates.
 
 
If I missed anyone it is not intentional and you will be credited :)

I've decided to release this "as is" otherwise it'll sit on my hard drive for ever, hopefully you'll enjoy it.
 
Contains updated model,all new skins, avionics,FM etc.
 
Please read the readme, it's for your benifit not mine..
 
Templates may follow at a later date if needed.

This skin represents the current scheme of the Commanding Officer's aircraft circa May 2011
 
Simply drop in your FA-18F folder and go fly...
 
Includes new panel, riveting, and detail work I've been slowly working on.
 
Thanks to Afterburner Decals for their reference image used to create this skin.

Dhimar, 1959.
 
The Swedish Goverment, buying most of their oil from Dhimar has decided to deploy Fighters to the region of Dhimar to aid the defence of the Kingdom. This is the first war for the Swedes in 150 years...
 
Information:
 
This campaign will not overwrite anything, and is a minimal change from the SF2 Campaign.
 
It will add Division 22, a Swedish Squadron flying the J-29F Tunnan or the DLC J-34 Hawker Hunter in the defence of the Dhimari Empire
during the 59´ Campaign. The idea for this is from an AAR I posted with a custom made campaign, and some players of the game asked
for a playable copy, with a minimal of hazzle.
 
As such, all you need is included.
 
However, instead of the J-35A Upgrade, i decided to include a What-If "Field Refit" of the J-29F, nicknamed the JA-29D.
The campaign will upgrade to this aircraft in 1963, since I belive this is more plauable then new aircraft being sent down.
 
The J29F is made by Wrench, and the readme is included. Big thanks to him for supplying it.
 
To fly the J34 Hawker Hunter in the campaign, you must own the DLC. I really recommend picking it up.
 
That is about all...
Happy huntin!
 
 
 
1.1
- A Beta tester playing only in SF2 reported Cockpit problems with the J29F. A fix has been included to remedy this if it appears.
 
- Fixed a bug where the J-34 Hawker Hunter DLC would not appear in the Campaign.

Dhimar E-3A sentry skin
 
This is a simple skin for the E-3A Sentry for SF2 from The Mirage Factory available here http://combatace.com...or-sf2-series/.
 
I would like to acknowledge the effort of everyone involved in this:
The Mirage Factory for the original Aircraft
Amokfloo for the NATO skin
Daddyairlplanes for the others
Spinners for the Finflash decal
 
This has only been tested in SF2:E but as a skin it should work in all the games and probably the first series as well.
 
To install:
1. Make sure you actually have the E-3A sentry mentioned above.
2. Extract the folder to somewhere safe.
3. Copy the objects folder to your main mod folder and let it merge.
4. Go fly.
 
Extra:
5. You can edit the userlist .ini included with the E-3A and add Dhimar to the list.
 
Thanks to TK for making the games and Daddyairplanes for saying i should release this skin and giving me the idea.

Ps: Still more to come


 

Dassault/Convair F-114A "Mirage" (A What If...)
-- For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Prefered) and/or any combination with SF2:E & SF2:I --
 
It =REQUIRES= a Full-4 Merged install -The PREFERRED Way ™, or at the very least, SF2:I for the various and sundry bits used herein. To, wit; the SF2E Mirage 3C and/or DLC3, and SF2:I for the Shahak (MirageIIICJ) Cockpit. If you do NOT have the minimum required game installs, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS MOD, as you won't be able to use it.
 
This is a mod of the SF2:E/I Mirage III as seen in the SF2 "What If Forums", fully extrapolated into a production aircraft as used by the USAF Air Defence Command and Air National Guard units (supplimenting and replacing the F-102 in many cases, until the F-106 arrived a bit later than is historical). You can read the backstory there (with additons by me in the "Notes" below)
 
This is a complete aircraft, with 4 skin sets.
The skin sets are:
 
119th FIS, New Jersy ANG
196th FIS, California ANG
317th FIS, Alaska ADC
509th FIS, USAF, PACAF, Southeast Asia 3-Tone
 
Skins are based off the stock NM Mirage 3C, from new partial templates I created. All inis included reflect it's Primary Usage as an Air Defence Interceptor; however, all ground attack capabilities and mission statements are retained.
 
All new serial number decals have been created, extrapolated from the end-of-production run of the F-102s. The "FM" buzz number code is a real code, once assigned to Fisher P-75. I thought it would be fitting, what with it being a =M=irage. (a name it keeps, as I couldn't think of a good 'D' name to fit with Delta Dart and Delta Dagger. Delta Dirk?? Just don't sound right!). All markings are decals, thereby making it easier for other skinners to create other USAF/ADC/ANG/etc units by simply making new unit marking decals. The PACAF skin makes use of stock, in-game decals for the serials.
 
Basic armament is 'standard' for early/mid 1960s USAF Interceptors; the AIM-4 Falcon and nuke-tipped AIR-2 Genie. Sidwinders will load automatically after 1972. Alternatively, for non-nuclear missile carriage, a revamped (read: repainted and ini tweeked) conventional warheaded AIM-26B Advanced Falcon is included. For mission builders, there is a Conventional Loadout statement in the loadout ini. All A-G loadouts use standard, USAF in-game weapons. I've also supplied the AIM-4G from the GunnyPak, for those poor unfortunates that might not have it.
 
As always, the canopy is activated via a manual animation key. Use Shift/0 to open and close. Landing lights have also been added, as well as corrected positioning for other running lights.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop). As expected, the usual "Notes and Other Nonsense" section, that lists the changes/modification/improvements/whatever that Convair did when 'Americanizing' the Mirage.
 
Have fun with it!! I sure did building it!

This is my mod of a Dhimari Air Force aircraft Hawja Mk.4. The name means "Tornado" in arabic and the aircraft is
a Dhimari version of Tornado GR4.
 
There are 2 skins included in this pack: 3sqn and 11sqn skins.
 
Credits:
 
- dtmdragon - Tornado GR4, some weapons
- Spinners - Dhimari decals (changed by me a litle)
- dave - italian Tornado skin
 
Other weapons taken from MGunny's Ordnance Shop II for SF2.
I'd also want to thank the author of ARABIC3BLACK decals but i don't know his name.
 
This mod was tested on full 4-merged install of SF2. Get the latest patch so you will have the number randomization and year-specific loadouts working.
 
To install unzip the file and drop the objects folder into your mod folder. Overwrite when asked.
 
This mod can't be used in any payware. You can modify it under the Freeware Licensing terms.
 
Happy flying!

F-16 Netz “Desert Viper”
------------------------
 
Requires: SF2 Israel!!
----------------------
 
 
A fictional 2 tone Desert skin for the Third Wire F-16.
 
I’ve based it on the original Israeli camouflage scheme & have unofficially assigned to
Israel’s 116 (Flying Wing Squadron)
 
However it could make a great mercenary skin or as a fun addition to those “Special Ops” for an air force & squadron of your own.
 
This is my first attempt at skinning the Netz & decided to keep it simple.
When time allows I’ll try something a little more authentic & perhaps a little different next time.
Notably, it may not be as good as those masterpieces that you are used to but
I hope you have fun with it anyway.
 
Enjoy :- )
 
SF
 
 
Installation:
____________
 
Unzip & place in your Strike Fighters 2 “Mods” folder.

- For his fantastic F-16A templates that took 90% of the hard work out of creating this skin.
Thank you.

Hi all,
 
This is my first Strike Fighters 2 skin. This aircraft is a MiG-21MF wearing an experimental "Splinter Camo" paint job with low visibility roundels. This skin is completely historical was used in real life. Only one MiG-21 in the Czech air force had this unique paint job: http://www.airwar.ru/photo/ugly_colored/czech%20mig-21mf.jpg

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.

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

**Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF)
 
21st FS (Luke AF, pilot training)
21st FS Gamblers (Lead bird for the squadron)
21st FS Special

401st 17th FS
401st 26th FS
401st 27th FS
401st CAG (Commander of Air Group aircraft)

455th 21st FS
455th 23rd FS
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...
