Well here is a better explanation of my breakdown logic.
 
B-52G_59 and the B-52H_61: The years they came into service and were all nuke and Houndog carriers. So for you SAC fans this is the cold warrior at its best.
 
B-52G_72: This version went to Vietnam for Linebacker with the ability to carry only 27 bombs and very inferior ECM.
 
B-52H_75: While the G was being used for a conventional role, the H were still all nuke aircraft. (it could carry 27 iron bombs if needed) This one represents the year it got the EVS, new ECM and its carries gravity nukes and SRAM's.
 
B-52G_77: Again with the H is received the upgraded ECM, EVS and kept its ability to carry iron in the bay and is set up for a its nuclear missions as well.
 
B-52H_88: While the G was getting more of the conventional role, in 1988 the H soldiered on being an all nuke bomber. In this year we see it in its new paint and carrying an all AGM-86B ALCM loadouts.
 
B-52G_82: This is the year the G went operational with the AGM-86B ALCM
 
B-52H_93: New paint, upgraded ECM and no gun. This one also had the ability to fire the AGM-142 Have Nap.
Note: In the loadout screen it will say it is empty but the black dots next to it will be full. That means they are loaded but there is some glitch in the sim preventing it from showing up in the loadout screen because of the data link pod. It does work though once you are in the sim.
 
B-52G_89: Here is then it picked up a serious conventional mission with the ability to carry iron on the wing pylons as well. This one also received the new paint scheme and made carpet bombing famous during Desert Storm.
 
B-52H_03: The current version with upgraded ECM, plus the ability to carry the LITENING pod, all sorts of guided weapons from JDAM's, to LGB's, to JSOW's. Also with the Combat Track II moving map display in the cockpit.
 

Thank you each and everyone of you guys for your help and guidance.

North American A-5D Vigilante for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
This is a simple mod of Julhelm's RA-5C to create a fictional A-5D Vigilante in service with the Royal Australian Air Force in the 1964-1989 timeline. Some of you might be aware that an Aussie Vigilante was seriously considered in the early 1960's as a replacement for the RAAF's outdated Canberra bombers but the Menzies government eventually chose the F-111C in October 1963.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the A-5D folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the A-5D folder into your Decals folder.
3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the A-5D_FUEL folder into your Weapons folder.
That's it!

CREDITS
As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
Special thanks to Julhelm for bringing the awesome Vigilante to the SF universe!
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Textures by 331Killerbee
 
Beta testers: USAFMTL, Crusader, Private (please don't feel left out if I've forgotten you).
 
to quote from SWS's write up:
 
"The T-80 is a main battle tank (MBT) designed and manufactured in the former Soviet Union. A development of the T-64, it entered service in 1976 and was the first production tank to be equipped with a gas turbine engine for main propulsion (the Stridsvagn 103 only used a supplementary gas turbine by 1971). The T-80U was last produced in a factory in Omsk, Russia, while the T-80UD and further-developed T-84 continue to be produced in Ukraine. The T-80 and its variants are in service in Belarus, Cyprus, Kazakhstan,Pakistan, Russia, South Korea, and Ukraine. The chief designer of the T-80 was the Russian engineer Nikolay Popov"
 
Installation:
 
Simply extract the contents of the zip archive into your SF2 Mod folder. Please back up your default TankGun.wav and TankTrack.wav, as they will otherwise be overwritten.
 
If you wish to use the TankTurbine.wav, you will need to create an entry for it in your soundlist.ini

F-100D 'Pretty Penny' (481TFS) skin for SF2V:
 
This skin is for Thirdwire's stock F-100D_64. It represents a single F-100D of 481st Tactical Fighter Squadron.
"Pretty Penny" was flown by 1/Lt. Peter Vanderhoef and 1/Lt. Gerry Sloame. It was named for Sloame's wife.
 
INSTALLATION:
Unzip and put the Objects folder into your SF2V mod directory.
 
KNOWN ISSUES:
None, but the original kills marks for AG are missing (you'll get the ones for AA kills instead) and the markings are in black instead of insignia blue.
The latter issue won't be fixed, since both sources show black markings.
 
SOURCES:
-ESCI F-100D Super Sabre in 1/72, Kit 9022
-Drendel, Lou. F-100 Super Sabre in Action. Squadron/Signal Publications, 1973. p. 26.

Installation notes:
 
Simply extract the contents of the AC-119K folder into your Mods\StrikeFighters2 folder.
 
---------------------------------------------
 
I modded the stock 7.62mm M134 MiniGun, and
modeled the FLIR (forward looking infrared radar)and the LAU-74/A flare launcher.
 
20MM_M61A1 cannons are defined as secondary guns so have them mapped as secondary guns on your controls.
 
To switch the Searchlight ON, press CTRL+L. Use the Page Up and Page Down keys to cycle between Ground Map Mode and TV Display.
 
!!! AI cannot shoot with guns !!!
 
FLIR is not supposed to be used for aiming your guns, set TV instead (radar mode).

AMX-1 for SF2
 
This is Rafaels' AMX 2.0 and Miraclemans' AMX Nations Kit with updated file setup for SF2. It has been updated to SF2 file structure based on their work. The Nations Kit makes two seperate aircraft for the two nations flying the AMX, Italy and Brazil. I moved the three skins to the appropriate nation folders, so the Brazil skin is only used for the Brazilian AMX and the Italian skins for the Italian AMx and so forth. Only one skin uses a non-stock decal and that has had the proper folder added. I have also added the proper gun(s) and missile for each aircraft, 2 x 30mm and the MAA-1 Pirahna IRM for the Brazilian plane and a single 20mm vulcan for the Italian plane. The vector RWR has also been added to both planes.
I have re-done the hangar and loading screens to match the aircraft and its national air force; the AMI for the Italians and the FAB for the Brazilians. A userlist.ini has been added also.
Finally, both planes have chaff and flares added. There was little info on these components location and number but I found one photo of an AMX launching flares, one comment on a single website that mentioned 4 launchers, and another website comment that the flare loadout was 15 each launcher which I assume also applies to the chaff launchers. So I used that info to add what hopefully is a close approximation of the AMX chaff/flare capability. Hence, 4 launchers with 15 shots each for a total of 30 flares and 30 chaff.

**********************Chengdu J-10A Vigorous Dragon SF2*********************
 
 
Original for SF1 series came without the ReadME so I'll have to improvise a bit:
 
1. CREDITS
 
Original creators of this excellent mod for SF series are:
 
Insky group (www.Insky.cn)
 
101tfs
Erwin_Hans and others...
 
 
2. INSTALLATION
 
Just extract into your MOD folder, everything is thoroughly tested and 100% working!
 
 
 
3. A BIT ABOUT THIS VERY INTERESTING MACHINE(with help of wiki and other sources)
 
The J-10 is a multi-role combat aircraft capable of all-weather day/night operation.
J-10 was designed by the Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute (CADI), a subordinate research institute of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation (CAIC).
 
J-10 is aerodynamically unstable design, a digital quadruplex-redundant fly-by-wire flight control system aids the pilot in flying the aircraft. It features a full glass cockpit and is equiped with three MFD's providing the information to the pilot.
On top of that Pilot is aided by helmet-mounted display (HMD) system, making J-10 and even more dangerous modern dogfighter!
 
As for the electronics, J-10 is equiped with internal ECM suite which can be supplemented by active jammer pods such as the BM/KG300G carried externally on the aircraft's hardpoints. Additionally, the KZ900 signals intelligence (SIGINT) pod can be carried for reconnaissance missions.
 
It also packs a Chineese designed and produced IRST "Type Hongguang-I" which has a maximum range of 75 km.
 
Radar info I was looking for was not quite detailed so all I found out was this:
 
"CAC revealed that the J-10 is equipped with an indigenous fire-control radar featuring a mechanically slewed planar array antenna, capable of tracking 10 targets and engaging 2 (using semi-active radar-homing AAM) or 4 (using active radar-homing AAM) of them simultaneously. Possibly based on Russian or Israeli technologies, the radar is believed to be comparable to the early 1990s-era Western fighter radar designs. Alternatively the J-10 could be fitted with a range of fire-control radar introduced by Russian, Israeli, and European manufacturers on its export variant."
 
The engine J-10A is currently using is Lyulka-Saturn AL-31FN, it's pretty much the same thing as AL-31F only while F is meant for two engine use, FN is specifically set for single engine usage.
Later it is suspected that J-10 will use domestic WS-10A (WoShan-10A) Taihang turbofan engine giving a thrust of 129 kN
 
The aircraft's internal armament consists of a 23 mm twin-barrel cannon, located underneath the port side of the intake. Other weaponry and equipment is mounted externally on 11 hardpoints, to which around 4,500 kg (9,900 lb) of weaponry such as missiles and bombs, drop-tanks containing fuel and other equipment such as avionics pods can be attached.
 
A2A missiles:
 
PL-8 - basically this is Israeli Python3 missile so don't count on having it easy in combat with it especially since J-10A is highly manouverable
 
PL-11 - SAHM basically a copy of Italian ASPIDE missile which is in turn a version of AIM-7
 
PL-12 - a very nasty AHM missile comparable to AIM-120 and R-77
 
For more detailed info check:

For Chineese missiles and equipment info check
http://www.sinodefence.com/airforce/system.asp
 
 
Anyway in the end I seriously like this plane and Insky group made a really, REALLY good job on it so...enjoy

Firstly: This file does not contain an aircraft. Rather it's a tweak made to the existing Third Wire A-10A and A-10A_78, both of which are part of the default planeset that ships with Strike Fighters 2 Europe. I've uploaded it here, because there wasn't a subsection set up specifically for aircraft .ini tweaks Anyway......
 
SF2E A-10 Tweaks
 
by Fubar512
 
Installation: Simply drop the aircraft data files into their matching-named folders.
 
In Windows XP, the folder path would be:
 
My Documents/ThirdWire/StrikeFighters2x/Objects/Aircraft.
 
 
In Windows Vista or Windows 7, the path is:
 
Documents/<User Name>/Saved Games/ThirdWire/StrikeFighters2x/Objects/Aircraft.
 
Now that you have some idea as to SF2's file path, you can go onto the next step.....and that's to drop the included A10Engine.wav into the ThirdWire/StrikeFighters2x/Sounds folder. If you don't have one, don't panic, just create one, following the path statement above.
 
To uninstall: just delete the A-10A_Data.ini, and the A-10A_78_Data.ini, and the game will revert to using the TW default.
