VA-46 Clansmen, 1989-1991
By EricJ
For the TMF A-7E (Late) Corsair II
This skin represents VA-46 before Desert Storm (1989-1990) timeframe. Given that most of the Operation Desert Storm A-7s are covered via the ODS mod I decided to try my hand at least one A-7 skin. All the folders are created so all you have to do is drop in your mod folder and go fly. Under the dropdown menu, it is under VA-46 Clansmen.
Decals were modified from the original VA-66LV files and scanned decals I believe from Dave. For this A-7:

Israeli T-6 Texan II "Efroni"
By toot
Today (26/4/23) is israel's independence day, so ive decided to release this skin/ modified aircraft:
This mod represents the T-6 Texan II in Israeli service. I've modified Dels's T-6 to have aerobatic smoke just like the IAF aerobatics team has. To activate it you simply need to push your throttle to max.
To add this mod simply drop the files in the corresponding file locations (Sounds in Sounds, Aircraft in Aircraft, etc).

F/A-18E VFC-12 Black Scheme 2
By EricJ
I named this as "Black Scheme 2" because I was already working on one VFC-12 actual scheme. Anyway, this is a proposed scheme that Fightertown Decals published and thanks to crisisloaner got a hold of the decals for the jet. Simply drop in your FA-18E_BlkII folder and go fly. Can be found under the drop down menu name of "Black Scheme 2"

E-3F SDA
By PeacePuma
(TMF) E-3F SDA MOD by PeacePuma
The Armee de L'Air has a fleet of four E-3F-SDAs, they were acquired between May 22, 1991 and June 19, 1992; They are part of a joint commission with the British to have capabilities independent of the NATO component. Like their British counterparts, the French Sentry's feature the new CFM56-213 engines, they have also been modernized several times during their service, upgrades that have brought them to the Standard 40/45 block similar to the one developed by Boeing for the US Air Force E-3G.
They are currently operational by the 36th Airborne Detection and Control Squadron 'Berry'

SF2 TMF Boeing 707 300 Series Update Pack
By Wrench
SF2 TMF Boeing 707 300 Series Update Pack 5/14/2023
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
This is the complete aircraft, set up as to NOT conflict with the mods of the 707 produced by DaddyAirplanes. Some renanming has been done to make sure of the lack of conflicts.
This is a fairly small modification of the Boeing 707 jetliner released many years ago by The Mirage Factory. What this mod does, is using ONLY the 4 original skins, adds 100% historically correct registration numbers, and in the case of PanAm, the "Clipper" name of the aircraft. Just in case you've forgotten what skins there are ...
BOAC - 14 aircraft 1960-86
El Al - 12 aircraft 1961-2018
Pan American - 18 aircraft 1958-99
TMA Air Cargo - 6 aircraft 1965-2004
All these markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The Data ini has some edits, adding the "Exported to Enemy = TRUE" line. The nations used for these 4 are STOCK in game ones. (RAF=BOAC, USAF=PanAm, Lebannon=TMA). A userlist in included, that is by NO MEANS complete. End users are encouraged to add skins, "air forces" and whatever is required to expand the line. A cockpit is included, but as this bird is mostly for eye candy, player flight is not reccomended (no defenses of any kind!!). As such, there are NO hangar or loading screens.
When in game, you'll see
Boeing 707-300 Series (TMF)
on the aircraft selection drop down menu. This should (and will) deferentiate it from DA's mods. This aircraft DOES represent many different versions of the 300 series, so the name is fairly accurate.
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions.
Happy Landings!

Possible Method for Stereoscopic 3D in VR with Headtracking in Strike Fighters 2 - Geo11
By norrinor
Possible Method for Stereoscopic 3D in VR with Headtracking in Strike Fighters 2 - Geo11
The attached PDF outlines the steps using freeware programs, wrappers and apps I've used to get stereoscopic 3D in VR working in Strike Fighters 2 and it's associated mods. Over the years I've tried many methods to get SF2 working on either a 3D monitor or in VR using programs such as vorpX or Tridef, as well as many others, but have never been happy with the results; however, using a relatively new technique geo11, I'm finally able to play in VR with proper 3D. This very clever piece of software, is and I quote "a replacement for 3D Vision for DX11" and allows you to generate a very nice 3D image in VR using the latest nvidia drivers.
At this point I'm not sure if this will work for anyone else who is not using the same tech i.e. HP Reverb G2 VR Headset and running an Nvidia RTX 2080TI GPU but please let me know if you have any success with similar hardware or something very different. Also a very similar method works for the Strike Fighters 1 series of games and if anyone is interested I'll post the additional steps here.
For anybody else trying this - Good luck

EA-18G VAQ-129 "Line" Jet
By EricJ
Since VAQ-129 is the US Navy's Fleet Replacement Squadron there are a variety of numbers that the aircraft uses. I tried to get most of them listed but I'm sure I missed some here and there given the state of my reference photos and resources. It's not designed to be exhaustive, but include the numbers I have seen
The file structure is the same so just unzip and place in your mod folder and it shouldn't need to overwrite.

Stealth SLUFs : A-7D in service with the 4450th Tactical Group
Stealth SLUFs : A-7D in service with the 4450th Tactical Group
This mod adds several new skins to showcase the stock ThirdWire A-7D as it appeared with the 4450th Tactical Group in the 1980s. The mod features their special version of the European 1 camo scheme as well as the SEA wraparound they appeared in for about the first year of operation.
The 4450th Tactical Group was the first unit to operate the then ultra secret F-117A Nighthawk. In order to maintain a cover other than "Stealth Fighter", the group also operated around a dozen A-7Ds to develop "avionics for the A-7D". They flew the Corsair II from mid 1981 until 1989, after the F-117A program became public a few mnths prior.

F-22A "Chrome Raptor" skin, 422d Test and Evaluation Squadron
A Simple F-22 Tests New Coating, Spotted in 2022
usage:
Put the 422TES_Chrome folder into Menrva's F-22 mod, then start the game once and select F-22, the game engine will automatically inject the skin
P.S. Since SF2 does not seem to support setting the material of some areas separately, I cannot restore the mirror effect of the coating in reality, so I set it to visually white.
The reflection effect is solved, but maybe you will notice that in many cases it looks a bit blue-gray, which we think is caused by the color of the reflected sky.

F-15C Blue and Tan skin, 65th Aggressor Squadron(2005-2014)
The 65th Aggressor Squadron stationed at Naris Air Force Base operated F-15C fighter jets from 2005 to 2014, and used a variety of unique Schemes. This mod is one of the two types they have used. I will use it in the game Called "Blue" and "Tan" in
Made this for my personal campaign "Red Flag", based on the F-15C, to share with you all.
Special thanks to:
Fast Cargo provides a great collection of F-15 packs for the community
Viper63 added accurate machine number decals to his Aggressor pack
usage:
1. Put the "65AGRS_Blue" and "65AGRS_Tan" folders into your F-15C module;
2. Put the "Decals" folder into: your SF2 directory\Objects;
3. Start the game and start your F-15C, the game will automatically inject data.

MiG-25 cockpit fixes (actual MiG-25 cockpit by Centurion-1)
By OlWilly
MiG-25PD cockpit by Centurion-1 with fixes
Notable fixes include:
- removed gunsight. 25 doesn't really need it, most of the footage shows 25s without gunsight
- fixed G-meter: added negative Gs and redid the layout to be more in line with the real thing
- original model actually had airspeed indicator and altimeter confused - this was corrected. Altimeter is above (shorter needle shows thousands, longer hundreds, plus analogue counter), airspeed indicator is below (likewise - shorter needle shows thousands, longer hundreds)
- fixed vertical velocity indicator. It wasn't working due to "values" being put in the wrong order (could be that it was working on older patches)
- fixed compass and course arrow. They were calling non-existing nodes
- added over-G and too much AoA lights above G-meter: not sure if realistic, but will do
- added afterburner light near nozzle indicator
- removed some lights and switch animations: they are cute, but very incorrect
- MiG-25PD version gets new radar layout taken from MiG-23 radar: it makes sense as PD radar "Sapphire-25" was developed from "Sapphire-23" on MiG-23
- can't do anything about warning lights and gear/flaps indicators not working - cockpit model just lacks any light nodes
- added some labels on instruments
---------------
Install: remove old cockpit folder, *cockpit and *avionics files, drop in new ones, rename accordingly.
Cockpit versions:
25P - for MiG-25P
25PD - for MiG-25PD/PDS
25PD uses avionics70 dll! Make sure to address it in the init file:
AvionicsDLL=Avionics70.dll
25PD is tuned for MiG-25PD from Coyote Airspace. It is easily adaptable for older versions of PD/PDS, just change position values in *cockpit file.
