What-if Army Air Corps Cessna AOP MkI (Green.) Skin for the Overkill payware O-1D Bird Dog available here:
 
http://overkill.combatace.com/
 
I recommend this aircraft highly - it is easily the most carefully researched and built aircraft I have ever seen for SF2, and sets new standards in every respect. Well worth the very reasonable contribution.
 
This aircraft skin is inspired by the Auster AOP Mk.6, a very similar aircraft used by the British Army and some Commonwealth armed forces. The serial numbers correspond to blocks used for AOP Mk.6 aircraft.

F-104I for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
 
This is a simple mod of the Third Wire Lockheed Starfighter F-104G to give a fictional F-104I 'Kohav' (Star) of the Israeli Air Force with markings for No.119 squadron - "The Bat Squadron". As this download relies on the stock Third Wire F-104G LODs then you must have SF2:Europe where TK has thoughfully left them for us.
 

INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-104I folder into your Aircraft folder.
 
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-104I folder into your main Decals folder.
 

SKINS/MARKINGS
 
I wanted to capture the look of the early Mirage IIIC's in Israeli service and saw a photograph of a No.119 squadron machine with red/white rudder stripes and a red fin marking and decided to copy that. As there are no hi-res squadron patch images for No.119 squadron I designed by own, I hope you like it!
 

CREDITS
 
Special thanks to guyran for suggesting the Hebrew name of 'Kohav'.
 
And special thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

F-23E for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a simple mod of Dels' excellent F-23A 'Black Widow' to give a fictional F-23E 'Karish' (Shark) of the Israeli Air Force with markings for;
No.110 squadron - The Knights Of The North Squadron.
No.119 Squadron - The Bat Squadron (with toned-down markings).

BACKSTORY
With the success of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom and F-15 Eagle in Heyl HaAvir service the Israeli's were hoping that the Northrop/McDonnell Douglas F-23A 'Black Widow' would win the USAF's ATF competition to continue their successful relationship with the McDonnell Douglas team at St. Louis but unfortunately Lockheed Martin's victory in the ATF competition looked like bringing an end to a long and enduring partnership.
However in a brave move, in May 1991 the Northrop/McDonnell Douglas team secured permission from Congress to actively market the F-23 to (State Department) 'approved' nations and offered a single-seat multi-role version called the F-23E (Export) to Germany, Japan, Israel and the UK. With Germany looking for any excuse to get out of the Eurofighter consortium and facing high reunification costs they persuaded the UK to team up in a combined purchase of 200 F-23E's. In return, this led to the German and UK Governments persuading Northrop/McDonnell Douglas to make BAe and MBB prime sub-contractors for any further export sales. 
However, with only 200 F-23E's on order Northrop/McDonnell Douglas were not convinced that it was enough to start a viable programme but the breakthrough came in January 1994 when the USAF agreed to purchase 100 F-23A's for PACAF (the air component of United States Pacific Command) and this move finally saw Japan and Israel also join the programme with 100 F-23E's each.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-23E folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-23E folder into your Decals folder.
That's it! 

CREDITS
As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
Massive thanks to Dels for this superb add-on aircraft, it's one of the very best.
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Version 2 - January 6th, 2024

Additional RNZAF skins and Mod Update.
 
RAN/RNZAF A-4G. SF2 AND MERGED SF2 INSTALLS ONLY. Version 1.0
 
WARNING:
 
This MOD needs the stock .LOD files included in SF2 to work, so if you do not have SF2 the Mod will not work. The Mod will work if you have SF2 and other Series 2 games as a Merged Install.
 
 
INSTALL:
 
Just unzip and place the contents of Aircraft to the Aircraft Folder and Decals to the Decals Folder.
 
MOD LIMITS:
 
Thirdwire does not have a A-4G model, but there is A-4E_65. This is the closest match so I painted one up to look like a A-4G. There is no brake chute and the inflight refueling prob is straight, everything else is the same.
 
The wing tanks only have the fins mapped once so top and bottoms are the same. This will not be a problem with wrap-around paint schemes.
 
There are no Sidewinder rails for the outboard pylons.
 
I have put IRM class on the outboard pylons and they will work. There are very nice Winder rails on the inboard pylons.
 
 
I have only painted this Aircraft and have not created the model. It is Thirdwires stock model and I have only tinkered a little with renaming some files to make a stand alone A-4G. Plus added a few more weapons classes to the data file and a amended Userfile. Have not changed anything else.
 
THIS UPDATE;
 
This update is the same as the previous Mod but contains extra skins, plus I have corrected the Userlist file.
 
Thanks to Thirdwire and TK for creating the games which have brought me many hours of fun and pleasure.
 
To Combat Ace for creating a place to download and upload files which further add to the games.
 
 
You may change these skins and upload if you wish, but you must thank TK and Thirdwire, CombatAce and they must remain Freeware.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
RNZAF A-4K. SF2 AND MERGED SF2 INSTALLS ONLY. Version 1.0
 
 
 
WARNING:
 
This model needs the stock .LOD files included in SF2, so if you do not have SF2 the Mod will not work. The Mod will work if you have SF2 and other Series 2 games as a Merged Install.
 
 
INSTALL:
 
Just unzip and place the contents of Aircraft to the Aircraft Folder and Decals to the Decals Folder.
 
I have included three skins and will soon will have more.
 
MOD LIMITS:
 
Thirdwire does not have a A-4K model, but the A-4K is a late model A-4F. There is a A-4F so I have painted up an A-4F to look like a A-4K. There is no brake chute and the A-4K also has a different tail top which is not modeled yet.There is an A-4F_74 with a tail top pod but these where never installed on RNZAF hawks.
 
The wing tanks only have the fins mapped once so top and bottoms are the same. This will not be a problem with wrap-around paint schemes.
 
There are no Sidewinder rails for the outboard pylons.
 
I have put IRM class on the outboard pylons and they will work. There are very nice Winder rails on the inboard pylons.
 
I have only painted this Aircraft and have not created the model. It is Thirdwires stock model and I have only tinkered a little with renaming some files to make a stand alone A-4K. Plus added a few more weapons classes to the data file and a amended Userfile. Have not changed anything else.

Su-17M Fitter-C For SF2

Desert Camo Skin by Gepard
HiRes Version of Amourdave's Su-17M Cockpit by Badger

Installation:
------------------------
 
Simply extract the contents of the Su-17M folder into your Mods\StrikeFighters2 folder.
Shift 0 will open and close the canopy.
 
Position and Tail Lights have been added, and the Position Lights move with the wing sweep. The FM was tweaked to correct a tendency for the aircraft to
flop to one side. It turns out the problem was caused by a negative Ymac value (Ymac = Mean Area Chord in Y axis) for the Right Wing and Right Stab.
Correcting those two values to a positive value completely eliminated the flopping problem, and significantly improved the feeling of the flight model.
This bird flies really nicely, and is a real joy to throw around the sky. Amokfloo did a very nice job with the original FM, model, and skin.
Gepard's Su-20 Egypt Desert Camo skin was altered to use Soviet decals, and would look right at home over an Afghan install.
The weapon stations and Loadout.ini have been adjusted to reflect the capabilities of the Su-17M Fitter-C version of this distinguished warbird.
The RWR is audio only.
 
This is a very nice model by Amokfloo, and a "must have" addition for any Red Air enthusiast.

the glorious new KF1-AX updated to SF2 standards... Weapons and all.... its my 1st conversion so if ive missed something please point it out.

AC-130U as flown by the USAF from 1995.
 
Read the Readme.txt

Fictional version of a gunship based on the C-130J with improved performance and precision strike capability.
 
Read the Readme.txt

This is the F-23A Black Widow II as if it had won the ATF competition.
 
This is Version 3.0 which has significant upgrades over Ver 2.0. Including new 3d model and skin, new flight model and updated cockpit.
 
Read the readme.txt

This is the Photoshop template for my F-23A Ver 3.0, so that others can make skins for it.
 
Enjoy!

Sukhoi Su-15TM Flagon-F v2.02 For SF2
 
by Boopidoo and team
 
---History---
The Sukhoi Su-15 was developed primarily because of the Soviet Unions great need for a capable high-speed high-altitude interceptor in the 1950's. The Sukhoi design bureu was tasked with the construction of the swept-wing S-1 tactical fighter and the delta-winged T-3 interceptor.
 
The Su-1 'Fitter' which first flew in 1955 later developed into the Su-7 which in turn developed into the very successful Su-17,20,22 variable wing geometry attack aircrafts.
 
The T-3 on the other hand developed into the Su-7 'Fishpot'. Unfortunately the Su-9 lacked performance in both operational range as well as radar range. This led to the development of the Su-15 'Flagon', not counting the half-failure of Su-11 (a bigger version of the Su-9). The Su-15 after lots of prototypes first flew operationally in 1965. During it's operational time it guarded the Soviet Unions borders right up until the desintegration of the USSR.
 
Production of the T-model began in 1971 and that later became TM with the modernised Taifun-M radar. The Su-15 had at this point evolved with extended wings to lower the high approroach speed and a spherical nosecone to make room for the bigger radar. The TM also had smaller inner weapon pylons under the wings to carry R-60 (AA-8 APHID) missiles, this was done to satisfy the need of a dogfighting capability. To further increase it's overall capability the under fuselage pylons were upgraded to being able to carry gunpods, attack rockets, rocket pods and bombs up to 500kg. Since only the gunpods has been used and has a functional fire-control system the other loadouts options must be seen as theoretical, although the carrying capability's still there.
 
 
---Install guide---
Simply extract the contents of the Su-15TM folder into your Mods\StrikeFighters2 folder.
Chaff and flares have been added so you can spend more time flying, and less time dying!
