Pureblue's Tomcat Viewlist v1.1 by Umut Destan(pureblue)
--------------------------------------------------------
 
This mod will give you bunch of different camera angles. The positions are for the F-14 Tomcat, so they might seem off when you fly other aircraft. But most of the time this shouldn't bother you. You can edit the positions in the Viewlist.ini if you wish.
 
Mod bases external cam. FOV entries from Stary & Silverbolt's viewlist mods.
 
So go out and take some cool screeshots!
 
 
INSTALLATION
--------------------------------------------------------
1. ADD THESE LINES to your controller.ini (whichever the name may be, the file is in your "Controls" folder)
 
To the end of the [ControlSet001] section:
 
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint1=ALT+1
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint1_PREV=CTRL+1
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint2=ALT+2
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint2_PREV=CTRL+2
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint3=ALT+3
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint3_PREV=CTRL+3
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint4=ALT+4
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint4_PREV=CTRL+4
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint5=ALT+5
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint5_PREV=CTRL+5
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint6=ALT+6
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint6_PREV=CTRL+6
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint7=ALT+7
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint7_PREV=CTRL+7
GOTO_PB_WeaponViewAll=ALT+8
GOTO_PB_WeaponViewAll_PREV=CTRL+8
 
2. Copy the included VIEWLIST.INI to your FLIGHT folder.
 
 
FEATURES (Key assignments)
------------------------------------------------------------
 
Keys ALT+(1 to 7) when pressed with switch to various camera angles on your aircraft. These angles are controllable via the mouse and pressing them continuesly will cycle between all aircraft. When pressed with CTRL+(1 to 7) will switch to previous aircraft.
 
Key ALT+8 will cycle through all Weapons, friendly and enemy that are in the air. All SAMS, bombs, missiles..
 
The F5 key is modified based on Stary's Viewlist (FOV settings)
As a plus you can cycles between all aircraft.
 
The SHIFT+F5 is the default Check Six View. As a plus you can yaw/pitch using the mouse.
 
F9 key will cycle through all missiles fired by you.
 
Take note that all these key are free to use in a stock controller.ini. If you have a modified one that merge with caution.
 
 
NOTES
----------------------------
On my game, sometimes after I switch from the Weapon Views back to the external view, the sounds of the engine are missing. I have to do a PAUSE/UNPAUSE to cure it. Don't know why this happens...

MiG-23MF Flogger "Rakshak" Indian Air Force
 
Mod to represent Indian Air Force MiG-23MF Flogger, nicknamed by the Indian Air Force "Rakshak"(Saviour/Protector in Hindi). Meant specifically for use with the SF2 Indo-Pak install.
 
The MiG-23MF was acquired by the IAF in 1983 in response to Pakistan's acquisition of F-16s.It was the first IAF fighter equipped with BVR missiles(R-23/AA-7). The IAF operated two MiG-23MF squadrons, No. 223 "Tridents" and No. 224 " Warlords". Both squadrons are represented in this mod. No. 224 Sqdn continued to operate the MiG-23MF till 2007, when they retired the MiG-23MF and converted to Jaguars
 
 
Installation
Just drop the contents of the file to your Mod folder.

MiG-23MF´s Skins and Tweaks pack Part 2
 
This has been the effort of a couple of months, trying to get as accurate as possible all the MiG-23MF´s. It comprehends all Warsaw Pact planes as well as the Cuban and the Semi ficticious Kyrgyzstan AF, most of them may now match completely since the paint differed from plane to plane, and all the info i got is from internet.
 
part one includes planes from Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia and Cuba.
 
Also i used the cockpit made by Ordway and tweaked by Lindr2 before he dissapeared, a big thanks to both, actually this was a Lindr2`s initiative and i´m just completing it.
 
i´ve also created different folder per Nation to make it more interesting.
 
Some decals have been borrowed from previous packs, please if you feel them familiar let me know and i will give you credit.
 
INSTALLATION:
 
I´ve created a Main Folder and all you got to do is drop it´s contents in the Objects\Aircraft sub-folders, once done you can paste all the contents to the Objects folder of the SF2 game you wish and that´s it, you now will have several Warsaw Pact MiG-23MF planed ready to fly!
 
Feel free to use them only with no payware intentions, or there will be a bunch of guys hunting you for sure:)
 
A big thanks to Daniel Cocas Lieabert for all the patience to answer my questions and some of the decals made by him, to Eric Johnson who reminded of the weathering, Gepard and Soulfreak, who helped me with German numbers and all the friends i have in FB who liked the pics to complete this job.

India-Pakistan Terrain Tweeks Pak
- For SF2, Any and All -
 
This is a relatively small tweeks pak for the India-Pakistan terrain. It is to be applied to the original I/P terrain download available at
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/11805-india-pakistan-terrain/
 
There has been a few small changes in the 'eye candy' department, and a slight cleanup of some of the airbases. A few new terrain =AND= GroundObjects have been added, and included for ease of installation. These changes are not major and will not effect much, except adding the recently released fuel truck repaints, both the red and yellow 'followme' jeeps, and little things like that.
 
A new TFD and HFD are included, as some retiling had to be done. Also, a new "india1" planning map was created. It's just very basic, showing the region.
 
As always, fairly simple, easy to follow install instructions are included. Please read and follow them. It's pretty straight-forward (for once!)
 
Happy Landings!

MiG-29 Fulcrum "Baaz" Indian Air Force Skin Pack for Strike Fighters 2
A pack of seven Indian Air Force skins & actual IAF MiG-29 serial numbers pack for Mirage Factory MiG-29A_In model. This has primarily been made for the Indo-Pak mod.
 
It is recommended to update/replace the MiG-29A_In( that came with the Indo-Pak mod) with the one by SF2 updated Mirage Factory/dast24 (link:http://combatace.com/files/file/12489-the-mirage-factory-mig-29-fulcrum-mod)
 
This skin pack would not have been possible without Sundowner's great MiG-29 templates. So credit for these skins got to Sundowner as well.
 
All textures are in jpeg format.
 
Installation
Just drop the contents of the file(Objects folder) to C:\Users\<XXX>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 and let it overwrite existing files.
 
 
Credits
The Mirage Factory : for the excellent MiG-29A_In model
Sundowner : for the superb MiG-29 templates
dast24 : for updated MiG-29s

The Pacific Incident Mod
for SF2: North Atlantic
 
IMPORTANT: This mod is made with some surprise in mind. If you do not wish to be spoiled, do not read the Credits (Under the Folder "SPOILER") until after you have played the mod. Also, you should refrain from observing the support thread as this is the official discussion thread with spoilers
 
At the first of August, 1980, the USS Nimitz departs from Pearl Harbour with a small escort group. As bad weather looms on the horizon, the escorts are detached and sent back to Pearl.
 
As the Nimitz sails head first into the storm, they discover a phenomena - a giant vortex - that nobody have ever seen before. It affects the crew, and the ship in a mysterious way.
 
As the crew wakes up, shaken and disturbed by the recent event, they know that their duty is to defend the United States in the past, present and the future...
 
Installation: Unzip into your Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic folder. Allow any overwrites.
 
Please note:
The Terrain is very unoptimized since TK did not leave any instructions for Stary. As such, even the heaviest computers can have some issues with the endless water (for some reason). Setting Terrain Detail and Terrain Texture to Low will fix this and allow good FPS.
 
Enjoy!

FLY THEM ALL (CHARLIE INCLUDED)
 
This is a simple upgrade in three steps (readme) of new stock Rolling Thunder campaign.
 
You will fly every plane (except B-52s), that you have to upgrade to be flyable (I have included links for combat.ace cockpits or planes with cockpit to use):
A-1H/J
A-6A
B-57B
Mig-17F
Mig-19S
Mig-21F
Mig-21PFV
Mig-21PFM
Mig-21MF
 
of every nation involved:
RAAF
VNAF
VPAF
 
I have also unlocked A-4B_65 from SPF2
 
So you need some basic modding skill ...
 
I hope you enjoy like me "fly them all" and sometimes the bad guys, too.
 
Paolo :yes:
 
PS: for every problem or question I'm here .. or a little around. I'll try to solve.

More Airbase Goodies
= SF/Wo* & SF2 series Games (Any and All -hopefully*!) =
 
A few more pieces of equipment, to place around airfields or bases, or other 'locations of interest'. The items are:
 
Bulldozer (-original creator unknown, as it comes from waay back on the WW2 terrains)
Road Grader
Steamroller (these 2 by Sundowner)
 
It should be noted at this time, these are NOT GroundObjects, like the yellow fuel truck recently released, but TERRAIN objects, that will need hand placement on your terrain of choice. Instructions are below in the "To Add To A Terrain" section.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow (for Terraformers/Targeteers), yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
 
*note: as the grader and roller have been built in late model MAX, they may not work in SF/Wo* games. This has NOT been tested*
 
With special thanks to Sundowner!!
 
Enjoy!

This is a reworking of the RAAF Macchi MB-326H Attack/Trainer based on the mod by Charles. I have just tidied it up for SF2. All credit goes to the original design team who created this aircraft mod.
 
This is a complete aircraft with three skins: A camo scheme, RAAF Grey scheme and the Fanta Can scheme of the Roulettes aerobatic team. The M134 Gunpod and Macchi Fuel tank are included.

Layered photoshop (.psd) templates for the F-22A Raptor as released by the Raptor Team here:

Desert Duel:
 
June 1, 1981. After the war in 1975, Dhimar has become the undisputed greater economic power in the region. With their increased wealth due to rising oil prices the Dhimari decide to invest in a stronger millitary to counter the ever-looming threat of their southern neighbors.
 
Seeing that Dhimar is purchasing new advanced weaponry such as F-16 fighters and new Sidewinder "L" missiles, Paran launches a full scale attack on the Kingdom of Dhimar before they can continue the military buildup with stronger ground forces.
 
Divisions of Parani troops and heavy armor are rolling north under a cloud of MiGs. The Dhimari military is scrambling to repel the onslaught. Their new hardware is about to be put to the ultimate test.
 
 
Nothing groundbreaking or terribly creative here. This is a simple campaign, based on the stock Desert Fury campaign with mostly stock aircraft. I wanted a Paran vs Dhimar campaign with no foreign forces. Fly Dhimari aircraft including the MirageIII & 5, F-4E, A-4, F-16A, Kfir, Lightning and F-104. I've enjoyed playing this campaign, and maybe someone else will too.
 
Requirements :
StrikeFighters 2
Strikefighters 2 Israel
Strikefighters 2 Europe
 
Optional: (included)
Flyable F-104G, files by Thirdwire for SF1, thanks to Wrench for "how to" in Combatace.com forum.
 
...also, in my personal install I opened the .ini files for each Israeli aircraft and changed the names from the Hebrew to the American (ex. Netz to Falcon, Kurnass to Phantom, Nesher to Mirage5). It's really personal preference and just a suggestion.

Lockheed F-104A Starfighter for Strike Fighters 2
 
The F-104A was first interceptor version of the Starfighter. It has been used by the Air Forces of the US, Pakistan, Jordan and Taiwan.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This mod is intended as a general update of the F-104A model of Ajunaidr released some years ago.
The FM is improved and now there are a new ogival nose, pitot and other details added via "fake pilot".
 
There are 2 variants in this pack. Standard F-104A and the later upgraded machines with the more powerfull and reliable J79-GE-19 engine.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
IMPORTANT!!!
You need SF2E to have the stock F-104G and SFP1 for the cockpit files.
