Strike Fighters 2 Series by Thirdwire

Mirage Factory F-4E Phantom ARN-101 aka "Arnie" for SF2 series.

TRUE VPAF
 
Decals, Skins and Userlists
 
A mod to enhance our SF-2 immersion, to use mostly in our custom campaigns.
 
In fact I was bored of all that Charlies whith all the same serial numbers for every plane model …
 
So I took the real numbers and made the correct serial for EVERY known VPAF plane.
 
You’ll find the Ace’s name who flown each aircraft, if known, beside his number, too.
 
I worked on the userlists to alllow the program to use in VietnamSea theatre a VPAF and not a Soviet Skin.
 
These are models You have:
 
Mig-17 20 planes
 
Mig-17F 178 planes (some others not confirmed are omitted)
 
Mig-17PF 10 planes and new skin.
 
Mig-19S/J-6 60 planes (correct userlist for Mig-19S)
 
Mig-21F 30 planes and a new skin little reworked.
 
Mig-21PFV (or better PFL) 30 planes
 
Mig-21PFM 111 planes
 
Mig-21MF 60 planes
 
Mig-21bis [bonus plane (not for Vietnam war)] with skin, correct userlist and 42 known plane numbers.
 
Mig-15 UTI (only one number is known, the other are presumed) Skin for Pasko/Shusjake model [http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=8547] and new userlist file included.
 
Mig-15 bis (only 7 number are known, the plane has’nt a great usage) Skin for Pasko/Shusjake model and new userlist file included.
 
Il-28 There was a squadron of 8/10 planes that took not active partecipation in Vietnam war, but now you have the choice to use. (Only tree numbers are known and only one is confirmed, the others are “presumed” by me). Silver and Green skin are included togheter with a correct userlist.
 
To install: let the new folders in the pack override previous ones. Stock install is not modded except for Mig-17F and Mig-21PFM that use only new number sets that are over 100!

MOAB by FastCargo Converted for SF2 use by Dave "USAFMTL"
 
For SF2/SF2:V/SF2:E
 
Footnote:
 
I wanted this plane because it represents Command and Control of which I do in the military. Doesn't have much utility in the game but it does look cool on the flight line and dropping MOAB's is too much fun. Thank you Dels for taking this special request.

World pilots(SF2):
These are 2 years of pilots skinning acted as filling some existing gaps with some Nations or specific era pilots.
Inside you'll find many,many easter eggs!
I will say thanks to Diego to show me the way to go for them.
You can find many MODern Diego's pilots fixed,anyone notice that the MBU-12 mike boom was under the hose????
Now is in its proper position and resized.

The Harrier GR7 is a license-built American-designed AV-8B Harrier II fitted with RAF-specific navigation and defensive systems as well as other changes including additional underwing pylons for Sidewinder missiles. The improved design of the GR7 allows the aircraft to carry twice the load of a GR3 over the same distance or the same load twice the distance. First flight of the Harrier GR7 was in 1989, and deliveries to RAF squadrons began in 1990. A total of 96 aircraft were ordered, including 62 interim GR5s which were later modified to GR7 standard.
 
Detailed "readme" file included.
 
The TIALD pod included in this pack is meant to be used only with this plane.
 
Just as a reminder, maximum VERTICAL take-off and landIng weight is 18,950 lbs.
If you try to take off vertically with a full load of weapons and fuel, the plane will simply not get airborne and, if you try to land, you'll fall like a brick.
Best vertical landings are performed with a 25% fuel load or less, just experiment to find the right compromise.
 
Good hunting

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.
