Strike Fighters 2 Series by Thirdwire

For those who have not done this already, this is a small user friendly pack for SF2 to add Ravenclaws nose camera to the A/B/D models and
flaviodutra's drop tanks and weapon rails. It is a drag and drop installation with some data.ini edits spelled out in the readme. All credit goes to Ravenclaw and flaviodutra. I think it improves the external model of the MF F-14A, but I'll let you be the judge. Read the included readme before you attempt the mod.

This is the SF2 Weapons Pack called "MGunny 331KillerBee's Ordnance Shop II"
 
A "READ ME" Text is included in the .Zip and MUST BE READ FIRST!
 
It has all the Installation Instructions.
 
Included is Weapons, Guns, Sounds, Effects and Manuals.
 
 
This has been and always will be a Community Project. It's dedicated to TK and ThirdWire and all the Members of the Strike Fighters Comunity.
 
Much Appreciation goes to EricJ for doing alot of Editting and fixing. Thanks EJ!

A simple missile simulator which can give you ease setting missile's drag coefficients and propellant parameters.
 
this tool is easy to use, just fill in/modify the necessary information and click "simulate" button and here you go.
 
 
 
 
several notes:
 
1. this simulator may be inaccurate and missiles may perform differently in real game so this is just for your reference only. the simulation is based on level flights only, so you should take gravity and maybe other factors into account.
 
2. if your missile doesn't have sustainer, just make the sustainer parameters to 0.
 
3. the cutoff parameter is used so that the simulation will end when the missile's velocity drops down and be smaller than its value. *but* the simulation will not ends until both booster and sustainer periods are finished.
 
4. initial speed should be set to the velocity of the launching platform, because planes flying at high speed will enlarge the missile's range that's for sure.

***Marder Roland and Gepard AAA for SF2E, version 1.0 - by MiG Master***
 
Original vehicle and missile models, .inis, and skins by Gablion
Conversion to SF2 format, vehicle, gun, and missile .ini modifications, and Roland RWR symbol by MiG Master
 
 
-To install the vehicles and weapons, simply merge the Objects folder from the .rar file to your Mod Folder's Objects folder. The Rolands and Gepards will appear randomly on the battlefield. The Rolands are set to Mobile_AAA instead of Mobile_SAM because the game favors AAA over SAMs.
 
 
-To install the Roland RWR symbol, merge the Flight folder with your Mod Folder's Flight folder. To get the Roland RWR symbol to appear on your TEWS RWR-equipped aircraft, add the following line to each aircraft's <plane name>_RWR.LST file:
 
Roland=RWR_Roland
 
You should see an "RO" on your TEWS display. The Gepard's Super Fledermaus radar is also used with static Oerlikon AAA batteries, so I set it to use the stock ThirdWire AAA symbol ("A").
 
 
-The Gepard's Oerlikon cannon should install automatically. If not, I've included a backup "add in GUNDATA.INI" file that you can import into the game with the SF2 Gun Editor.
 
 
-The vehicle .ini edits include adding radar frequency information and converting the skins to ObjectData format. The Marder Roland's capacity has been increased to six missiles to simulate it being reloaded. The Roland missile .ini edits are meant to reflect the Roland II missile's stats and capabilities as it was used in the West German Army (within the limitations of the game). The Oerlikon cannon's edits are to try to simulate the cannon's warhead-less sabot ammunition (also within the limitations of the game).
 
 
-These have been tested and work with SF2E Dec.2009 patch, and SF2E with NATO Fighters 4+ Jun.2009b patch, including in the middle of an SF2E NF4+ campaign. I have not tested these in SF2/V/I- use at your own risk!
 
 
-If you want these for SFP1/WoX, Gablion's original Gepard and Marder Roland are available at the CombatAce website's download page.
 
 
-If you have any questions or concerns, you may reach me at the CombatAce forums.
 
 
-These mods are not for use in any payware.

This is a mod that I have been working on with the intent of replacing the generic wingman voices with those of the Star Fox team, as in Star Fox 64. This means you'll no longer be flying with "anonymous wingmen #1, 2 and 3", you'll be flying with Falco, Peppy and Slippy.
 
It's a bit of a tribute to SF64, because it was one of the first games to have full voice acting, rather then just text. Some of the voices and quotes are legendary as well. I have tried to fit in as many phrases from SF64 as I could, and replaced some calls and responses with generic chatter.
 
You may have to play Starfox 64 (or at least know something about it) to appreciate this mod.
 
don't forget to read the README!

This is my Euro skin made for the F-15E_90. SF2 Series.
 
I made the skin some time back and I have now updated it to fit on the new SF2 series F-15E_90 Model. I have named the file to a new name so it will not over write the exiting Proto Skin.
 
This skin is based on my Hasagawa 1/48 model painting guide. This skin is not weathered but in a straight out of the paint hangar finish.
 
To install just copy and paste the “PROTO A” folder in the “F-15E_90”
folder and the DECALS FOLDER to the Decals folder and that's it.
 
 
It you do not like it just delete the “PROTO A" folder and that’s it.
 
 
Special Thanks to:

Additional Model Work by FastCargo
Flight Model by Fubar512
Avionics by Moonjumper and JAT
Effects by Deuces
Skins by Sundowner

Plus to Thirdwire for great games.
 
Feel free to mod this skin, but must remain freeware please.
