Strike Fighters 2 Series by Thirdwire

The Mirage Factory F-16B Block 15
 
This mod is a work in progress and all other blocks in this package are mods of the basic F-16B Block 15. This project was started by bpao a few years ago however never completed due to his untimely death. Its an old model but she has a lot of fight in her. We will do our best to update as we can.
 
To install drop into your SF2 folder and allow it to overwrite folder names.

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)

CF-104 Turkish Air Force Skin
 
This skin is optimized for the stock SF2 CF-104_76 (June2011 Patch level).

the great Anatolian terrain.

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

This is GPU-5/A gunpod for use with Wrench's excellent A-16 ground attack aircraft.
 
Includes two variants, GPU-5/A painted green to match Wrench's Euro scheme, and GPU-5/A (GRAY) in gray colour.
 
As a bonus includes my "personal" slightly tweaked 30mm GAU-13/A Cannon -tweaks include: less accurate, effects aliased to 30mm type of effects (was 23mm) and with different tracer image.

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.

Hi, this is my adapt for the Yak-141, i just put things together and made it to work in SF2 standard, everything has been made to put it in the respective mod folders, if you are prompted to overwrite, please do so, the only part you need to work with, goes to the Soundlist.ini which you need to extract and place it in the flight folder, and add the following lines:
 
SoundFileXXX=GSh301................ XXX standing as the next number in the sounds sequence.
 
[GSh301]
Priority=NORMAL
Looped=TRUE
NumBuffers=4
3DSound=TRUE
DopplerEffect=FALSE
MaxDist=1000.000000
MinDist=50.000000
InsideConeAngle=360
OutsideConeAngle=360
ConeOutsideVolume=0..............this goes at the very bottom
of the sounds list.
 
I used a modified Su-27 Flanker cockpit, since it`s the closest one to the real plane, based in pics i found, also the avionics are more modern, just to think as a what if this plane would have entered in service, she would be active as of today.
 
VTOL Operation Checklist:
 
1) BE SMOOTH AT ALL TIMES....Deploy air brakes (required to raise forward lift engine intake screen)
 
2) Set flaps to full
 
3) Set nozzles to full down position
 
4) Release wheel brakes
 
5) Apply throttle SMOOTHLY. You will start lifting at approx. 87% throttle. Under no circumstances should you apply more than 89% throttle when in VTOL mode, or you will loose control when the AB kicks in.
 
6) As you're gaining altitude, dip the nose forward slightly while still in VTOL mode to gain forward momentum.
 
7) Raise the landing gear, and begin swiveling the nozzles back (as smoothly as possible), as you gain forward speed.
 
8) Retract the air brake/intake screen as you pass 80 knots, raise the flaps all the way at 170 knots,
 
9) Did I remind you to be smooth as often as I should have? : )
 
10) Practice makes perfect!

Enhanced GermanyCE tileset -no trees for grass (R-type) tiles
 
fix/addon to my GermanyCE enhanced tileset.
 
This is quick fix that removes trees from R-type (in original TW tileset empty grass only) tiles.
 
As most seem to be using custom GermanyCE_tagets.ini file(s) with various airfields added (like those in Nato Fighters 4+ or others) I did this fix.
 
This will also allow future usage of my tileset by modders working on new campaigns with even more new airfields planned, yet to be released.
 
To install simply unzip to your mods installation GermanyCE folder, overwrite when asked. You can also delete the GermanyCE.TFD file that came with my GermanyCE tileset (no custom tiles layout needed)
