C-160D Transall Addon for SF2 series
____________________________________
 
General:
--------
The C-160D Transall was the main tactical transport aircraft of the german air force from 1968 on.
Retirement was planned for 2010, but due to problems with the A400M the (so called) "Trall" will stay
a few years more in service. In the nineties the fleet got upgraded with a new avionic suit and some
aircraft got equiped with the AN/AAR-54(V) missile warner and counter measure pods.
 
Installation:
-------------
Drop all files into your mod folder the way they are setup in this pack.
If you are unsure about the way how mods are installed, check the knowledge base at CombatAce!
If you have allready custom craters installed, you MUST install the ones here manually!
 
Model features:
---------------
+ Multiple LODs
+ Cockpit
+ Damage model
+ Destroyed aircraft model
+ Cargo pallets (dropable)
+ Paratroopers (German "Fallschirmjaeger")
+ Animation for parked aircraft, this cannot been used manually
+ The aircraft number you are using is displayed in cockpit
 
Handling:
---------
+To drop the paratroopers, open the bombbay (side doors)
+To drop the cargo pallets, open the ramp with animation key "9"
+To use the windshield whipers, use animation key "8"
 
Credits:
--------
+Thanks to the GMG for decals and testing
+Special thanks to the team of "Gemeinsam Helfen e.V.", who built a C-160D for the MS Flight Simulator.
They helped me alot with info and pictures!
 
Note:
-----
Both cockpit and external model are quite high polygon models, if you face FPS drops, there would be no
other solution as to upgrade your system!
 
Hope you enjoy this!

Just a simple repaint of FastCargo's F-15B_85 (available here: http://combatace.com/files/file/10443-f-15-super-pack-version-231/) to represent the first
 
operational aircraft delivered to the 555th TFTS at Luke AFB on 14th november 1974.
 
 
 
Just extract and move to your aircraft folder.
 
 
 
Have fun!

These are just two skins for the F-23A. One is a desert skin the other is sort of an artic skin. Figured the F-23A was in need of some variety of skins so I tweaked the ones that came with the original F-23A. Just drop the contents into the StrikeFighters2 folder where you've placed all of your downloaded content in. If you have other custom skins, then back-up your F-23A.ini file because it will get over-written.

MiG-9 "Fargo" -Update Pak for SF2 (all, merged or not)


 
This is a "minor" rebuild of the flight model for this 1st Generation Soviet Jet fighter by Timmy. It borrows heavliy from other work; I've just tried to combine and adjust to get it a little better (it's like around 110% better than it was!)
 
Everything has been tweeked to SF2 standards; folderized decals for the PLAAF skins, use of stock in-game decals for Soviet Borts (and some other decal tweeks), the 260gallon/900 liter drop tanks, my semi-craptastic "PilotER" (we really do need a new early soviet jet pilot figure!) and the 'migengine' sound borrowed from TMF's MiG-21F, a new SF2-style hangar screen, and cockpit (modded from Kesselbruts Spitfire pit, called "1JetCockpit", that while not perfect, works pretty damn good). Instruments are still in English characters, but have been converted to metric readings in the cockpit ini.
 
This is a complete aircraft, ready to unzip and fly away. While the flight modeling is VASTLY improved, it could still use a little fine-tuning. I welcome compentent modders to take this one, and bring it all the way home.
 
As always full, detailed install instruction are included in the pack, so READ them!!
 
Happy Landings!

* Used Ravenclaw's GAF Pilots (Edited their flag patches and named the pilots _Generic)
* Drop Tanks ini files converted to SF2 format
* [RocketAttackAI] based on stock F-104G
* Aircraft model Shadows now handled by SF2 Gfx Engine (Still has a glitch from canopy mesh, from certain angles)
* Optional Martin Baker Mk7 seats by Ravenclaw included
* Hirez cockpit textures included from "F-104G High-Resolution Cockpit Textures 1.0 2005/10/29" by (?)
(no cockpit lod included)

1. Extract or Copy the Effects, Objects and Sounds folder to your Mod Folder.
(Example: C:\Users\pureblue\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\ in Win7)
 
2. You MUST copy over the F-104G_Cockpit.LOD file from your SF1 install to
Objects\Aircraft\TF-104G\cockpit and

F-4N Phantom II for Strike Fighters 2 series.
23 Oct 2010
 
This is a continued update of the original F-4N Phantom II released by Column5 and Dave (ex-USAFMTL) way back in 2003. Thanks gents.
 
Additional thanks goes to Wrench. He released an update pack for this jet, in Jan '09. That got the ball rolling for this latest version. Thank you Sundowner for your awesome skins and Spillone for the excellent J79 sounds.
 
I went through the data, avionics and cockpit.ini files and upgraded the F-4B_67 to N standards in a similiar fashion as Project Bee Line (see below). Additionally, the loadout.ini was tweaked to properly match a USN configuration.
 
In 1972, 228 F-4Bs were converted into F-4Ns to bring the B-model up to a similiar to the F-4J and increase their combat capabilty. This project was named "Bee Line". Work was conducted at Naval Air Station North Island. The aircraft received slatted stabs, a new ECM suite (AN/ALQ-126B) plus avionics systems upgrades. The N-model entered fleet use in 1973 and remained in service with the Navy and Marine Corps until 1985. A handful remained post-1985, with the Reserves and test units. Those were eventually converted into QF-4Ns drones.
 
To install simply allow the extractor to place everything in the main SF2 folder. I've added the VF-111 pilots from Wrench, two of Sundowners skins (slightly edited for the N) and new J79 engine sound files from Spillone. Last time I checked, all had ok'd the use of their work for non-profit use. If I'm wrong, please contact me and I'll eliminate the files.
 
The canopy open/close is linked to the "0" key.

An SF2 Series upgrade of Suhsjake's A-4A Skyhawk. Two new skins have been added:
