    1. [Fictional] Panavia Tornado GR.1H for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2

      Mod of guuruu's great Tornado GR.1 to make it look like a fictional fighter-bomber plane for the greek air force.
      BACKGROUND STORY
      The fulfilment of the Peace Xenia I contract, signed with the Reagan administration in 1987, got delayed short before the first aircraft could be handed over to the HAF. As a reason for this delay, the Pentagon stated important matters of foreign security, since the Soviet Union (and the Warsaw Pact) started to show significant signs of wear and the beginning emancipation of the eastern block countries. Therefore, the Pentagon wanted to use the aircraft to reinforce overseas units with them. In exchange, the HAF got offered a significant discount for the next contract, Peace Xenia II. Greece, not willing to wait, got in touch with Panavia via the german ministry for foreign affairs.
      Panavia offered the HAF 36 Tornado GR.1 from a cancelled order, partly produced, which could be delivered in a short period of time. The HAF accepted the conditions for the aircraft and was able to introduce the first sixteen GR.1H in January 1989, assigning them to the 330 Moira Keravnos (Lightning). The remaining 20 aircraft got delivered during the following 18 months.

    2. [Fictional] Dassault Mirage 4000H & TH for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2

      Mod of the superb Mirage 4000 to make it look like a fictional fighter plane for the indian air force.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. Drop the folders into your Mod folder. If asked to overwrite, click yes.

      CREDITS
      Big Thanks to all the people involved (see original credits) in the creation of this superb mod.
      Also thanks to Logan4 for allowing me to release it.
       

      ORIGINAL CREDITS taken from Logan4's Mirage 4000P & PB
      This aircraft mod represents Dassault's what-if Mirage 4000P fighter and its trainer PB variant in the Portugese Air Force service.
      This package comes with 1 skin set for each variant, with decals for P (14 planes), and for PB (6 planes).
      Also it is dedicated to our friend Cocas who put his work and time to bring us many of the rare or experimental aircraft in this game series and originally created the base model for this plane.
      This model is meant for SF2 games only, SF1 variants will be uploaded at the SF1 section.
      Install is the regular dropping the contents in their respective places. In case you have the prototype or French A and B variants you can skip the overwrite prompt of weapons as those 6 items are identical.
      Please note: The model can be quite heavy on FPS in large formations on weaker machines, so if required, either resize skin files or use lower lods(_nd,001,002,003) as lod1.
      The model uses the general french and NATO weapons, either as part of weapon packs or the Mirage 2000 family.
      Important: The PB variant comes with 2 types of cockpit, the basic setup will use a simple pit that has only the pilots cabin instrumented. The other is a fully modeled front and rear compartment, in which you want to fly you should activate the proper line in the AC's.ini file.
      CockpitDataFile=Mirage4000PB_Cockpit.ini <---- basic setup
      ;CockpitDataFile=Mirage4000PB_Cockpit_full1.ini <------ front seat
      ;CockpitDataFile=Mirage4000PB_Cockpit_full2.ini <------ rear seat
      Be aware - the piloting seat position can not be changed during/in game, so chose wisely!
      Make sure to read the manual included with the package.

                  About The Mirage Factory Rebuilt
      Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009.
      But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were just hopeful wishes over a decade ago.
          The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is just standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today
      and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him.    
      on behalf of The Mirage Factory (original and rebuilt) I thank you for downloading this mod, and hope you enjoy it.

    7. Sabre Dogs - Jugoslovensko Ratno Vazduhoplovstvo

      F-86D Sabre Dog
      Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) 
      Install:
      Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination.
      Make a backup copy of your files if you have a similar mod already on your PC, you might not like this one. 
      A fake pilot is required to run this mod.

      A new model of F-86D and IF-86D as used by the Yugoslav Air Force
      In the game, you will find it under the prefix  JRV 
       
      All skins are in 3072x3072 format. You can easily resize as needed. If needed I can provide it in 4096 format. 
      Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in the YugoslavAir Force. There is one issue that I do not like and that might bother someone too, but I will attempt to fix this as soon as I have more available references.
      The issue is that amid 130 delivered F-86D around 30 (32) were converted into reconnaissance version. And around 30 were designated for spare parts upon delivery.  Serial numbers that cover "spare parts airframes" are easy to determine, and those serial numbers were removed from whole serials /decals/numbers. Unfortunately finding which of the 98 operational airframes were converted into a recon version is nearly impossible (I was able to find two numbers among 32).
      So in the game, you will have 98 airframe serial numbers for F-86D (a little less for the 1968 camouflaged skin set) and 32 for IF-86D... while those 32 serials of IF-86D should be subtracted from those 98. 
      This mod is no longer using a fake rocket tray gun. Now thanks to sudden enlightenment it works as stock Lightning F.1
       
      Credits.
      The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench.
      Yours truly  -  model rework, mambo jumbo like skins, decals, research...
      strahi - help with skins and research.
      Weapons Mk4 Might Mouse by Ravenclaw. 
      additional SAB-100 illumination bomb but made as free falling parachuted rocket.

       
      Have fun.
      Report bugs. *
      Expect the unexpected.
      Live long and prosper.

      THIS MODEL IS ONLY TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE AND IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL IT BE USED, EVEN IN PART OF ANYTHING THAT IS PAYWARE.
      UNDER THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT
       
      * report BIG bugs...If I misspelled something or forgot to add a sound file...for dog's sake try to fix it.  It's not like this mod is using some ancient or extraterrestrial files..

    10. Falklands Mod HMS Ark Royal ‘what if’ campaign

      SF2 Falklands Mod HMS Ark Royal ‘what if’ campaign 1.1

      This package contains everything you need for an Operation Corporate campaign that uses the HMS Ark Royal with her F-4K Phantom FG.1 and Buccaneer S.2D airwing as if they were all still in service for the 1982 Falklands war.
      It works solely with the updated version of Kesselbrut's "Falklands '82" (Operation Corporate) mod package for Strike Fighters 2 (SF2) uploaded by Dave https://combatace.com/files/file/11627-sf2-falklands-mod/
      In this ‘what if’ scenario the Royal Navy Invincible class carriers have been delayed entering service requiring the HMS Ark Royal to remain active along with her FAA aircraft into the early 1980’s. As such the HMS Ark Royal leads the Royal Navy Task Force to recapture the Falkland Islands. The HMS Hermes serves as her sister carrier in the Task Force operating Sea Harriers and RAF Harriers. However the size and role of her Sea Harrier airwing is more reflective of the ships role as an ASW/ Commando Carrier as it was when the HMS Ark Royal was still active in real life. Meaning the bulk of the air war will be fought by the Phantoms and Buccaneers from the Ark Royal.
      The F-4K Phantom (75) are as they were at the end of Royal Navy service but with the addition of Skyflash and G model Sidewinder missiles (RN Phantoms only ever carried the D). One would assume they would have received these alongside the RAF FG.1/ FGR.2 Phantoms had they remained in service with the Navy after 1978. AIM-9L Sidewinders are also available for the Operation as they were for the Sea Harriers in real life. I have also made the SUU-23/A available but it is not used in any loadouts as it was only integrated onto the FG.1 after they were handed over to the RAF and upgraded with lead computing gunsights. The HEI rounds do not have tracers.
      The Buccaneer S.2D is also as it was at the end of Royal Navy service but with the ECM pods carried by the RAF Buccaneer force in 1982 and the ability to carry the Pave Spike pod. As I imagine these capabilities would have been transferred over from the RAF Buccaneers if this ‘what if’ had scenario had occurred. As well as using the G model Sidewinders of the Phantoms.
      Both aircraft have a big single shot of Chaff simulating how they loaded it inside the airbrakes of aircraft without dispensers in that era.

      Installation:
       
      In addition to the requirements for SF2 Falklands Mod 2.0 you will need Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam (SF2V) for the F-4K cockpit as the F-4J cockpit is more accurate for a Royal Navy F-4K than the Third Wire DLC F-4K cockpit or Third Wire F-4M cockpit.
       
       
       
      STEP 1:

      If you don’t already have a working version of the SF2 Falklands Mod 2.0 download and install it by following the instructions here 
       
      This mod requires a separate Mod Folder from the StrikeFighters2_Falklands Mod Folder you already have or created in step 1.
       
       
      - Open your SF2 Installation directory and make a copy of the StrikeFighters2_Falklands.exe you already have, Rename the copy to StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal.exe
       
       
      - Run the newly copied and renamed StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal.exe file, then exit back out to the Windows desktop after navigating through a few menus. A custom Mod Folder for your Falklands'82 Ark Royal mod install will have been created in the same location as your StrikeFighters2_Falklands Mod Folder you already have.
       
       
      - Open your Mod Folder named StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal and delete the \Objects sub-directory (including everything in it).
       
       
       
       
      STEP 3: INSTALL MAIN COMPONENTS TO MOD FOLDER
       
       
      - Copy and paste everything from your StrikeFighters2_Falklands Mod Folder you already had into the StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal Mod Folder you just created in step 2 EXCEPT the Options.INI file and the Version.INI file.
       
       
      - Unpack the SF2_Falklands82ArkRoyal.7z archive package to a location on your hard drive.
       
       
      - Move the contents of the \To_Mod_Folder directory to your StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal Mod Folder (created in Step 2 above) YOU MUST OVERIDE WHEN ASKED!
       

      STEP 4: EDIT OPTIONS.INI
       
       
      Open the Options.INI in your StrikeFighters2_Falklands_ArkRoyal Mod Folder. Locate the "Instant Action" section and replace it with the following:
       
      [instantAction]
      AircraftType=F-4K_75
      MissionMap=Malvinas
      StartTime=15:15:00
      StartDate=05/21/1982
      StartTimeDeviation=10
      TextureSet=0
      NationalMarking=0
      SquadronMarking=0
      AircraftNumber=0
      KillMarking=0
       
       
      Just below the "Instant Action" section is the "Single Mission" section. At minimum you should change the EndYear= statement to 1983 or higher. I recommend setting the StartYear= and EndYear= as follows:
       
       
      StartYear=1982
      EndYear=1983
       
       
      Save your changes and close the Options.INI file.
       
       
      THAT'S IT. Your "Falklands'82 Ark Royal for SF2" mod should now be ready to use.

      Third Wire F-8A & F-8B Crusader 1.1

      Modification of the Third Wire Crusader model into the F-8 A and B model Crusaders.
      Included is the 2.75" Mighty Mouse air-to-air fuselage rocket drawer but it is not loaded by default as it was reportedly never used operationally.

      F-8A
      -    The F-8A (F8U-1) entered service in 1957. F-8A is powered by the J57-P-4 afterburning turbojet and can reach speeds of Mach 1.5
      F-8B
      -    The F-8B (F8U-1E) was the search radar equipped version, entering service in 1958. It is equipped with the AN/APS-67 radar.

      To install:
      1, Unpack and drop into your main mods folder.
      2, Override when prompted.

      Credits:
      -    Crusader for the F-8A cockpit gauge placement.

      ALL work by ME ( Sundowner ) is now no longer covered by the CombatAce Freeware Licensing agreement.
      What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it unless it is part of a full terrain package but you still need to ask me first for permission.
       
       
      A collection of  40+ buildings, hangars etc.
      All these objects my own work, they may not be 100% historically accurate, if that is really important to you don't bother to download them.
      They have been made by looking at photos of the actual structures and sometimes a little "artistic licence " has been used to keep frame rates down etc.
      Any missing textures or whatever just let me know..
      As always read the Read Me.

    13. OV-10A Bronco 68-73

      ALL work by ME ( Sundowner ) is now no longer covered by the CombatAce Freeware Licensing agreement.
      What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it.
      So please no copying of my skins for any use other than your own.
      This model has been created from the old freeware AlphaSim OV-10A, which in itself is a lot more work than most of you think.
      Most of the original AlphaSim model has be "re-moddeled" in some way.
      All animations have been done from scratch and may not be perfect, bits have been added and even more bits have been removed, all parts have been remapped etc, etc.
      Please read the read me.
      There are other Bronco mods available here at CA, this is not designed to replace any of them, you have the choice to use whatever you like or what works best on your system.

    15. Sabre Dogs - Kongelige Danske Flyvevåbnet

      Royal Danish Air Force F-86D Sabre Dog
      Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) 
      Install:
      Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination.
      Make a backup copy of your previous files, you might not like this one. 
      But if you downloaded my previous version of Danish F-86D - just simply delete all old files, as this mod is entirely new. 
      A fake pilot is required to run this mod.

      A new model of F-86D as used by the Royal Danish Air Force
      In the game, you will find it under a prefix .KDF. * 
      * Kongelige Danske Flyvevåbnet
      Some time ago I uploaded the first version of this model. Now after some suggestions, I fixed mistakes, and some bugs. 
      I fixed data files a little - collision points and hitboxes..as the previous ones were quite weird. But I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea or coffee. 
      All skins are in 3072x3072 format. You can easily resize as needed. If needed I can provide it in 4096 format. 
      Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in the Danish Air Force.
      This mod is no longer using a fake rocket tray gun. Now thanks to sudden enlightenment it works as stock Lightning F.1
       
      Credits.
      The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench.
      Yours truly  -  model rework, mambo jumbo like skins, decals, research...
      Weapons Mk4 Might Mouse and AIM-9 by Ravenclaw. 
      TACAN is made as a "weapon" so it will appear automatically after a certain year. 
       
      Have fun.
      Report bugs. *
      Expect the unexpected.
      Live long and prosper.
      Jarek Hereda
      THIS MODEL IS ONLY TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE AND IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL IT BE USED, EVEN IN PART OF ANYTHING THAT IS PAYWARE.
      UNDER THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT
       
      * report BIG bugs...If I misspelled something or forgot to add a sound file...for dog's sake try to fix it.  Not like this mod is using some ancient or extraterrestrial files..

      OK, what we have here are a collection of static aircraft that I've made up myself either from existing max files that I've been involved in before. Or converted from the old Alphasim freeware stuff.
      ALL maps and textures are made by myself.
      All markings are painted on.

      What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it unless it is part of a full terrain package but you still need to ask me first for permission.
      This is just a small part of a whole lot of Terrain Objects I've made over the last few years, they are all created and painted by myself either using the original max files or started from scratch.
      Please read the read me...................it's  for your benefit.
      During installation if you get asked to overwrite something STOP !! Cancel the installation and rename the files causing the conflict. 
      My work is no better than anybody else's so I'm dead against replacing other folks hard work. Having a choice is nice.
      Have fun.

    18. SF2 F-16A Block 1 (TMF) Pack

      SF2 F-16A Block 1 (TMF) Pack       6/28/2024
      -For SF2, Any and All-(SF2:I Required, Full 5 Merged Suggested)
      - Another 1stGen Salvage Operation -
      This is a rebuild of TMF's F-16A Block 1 Fighting Falcon. This is =JUST= the block 1, with its short life span (78-90, including exported/European built versions). Having SF2:I is required, as this mod makes use of the Netz's destroyed model.
      This mod is set up and labeled to cause =NO= conflicts with the myriad of F-16 mods, both based off the Third Wire Netz or any add-on Vipers. Skins remain in their original bmp format, in their original size and resolution. Most markings are decals, with the exception of some painted on national markings. Decal Randomization is TRUE. Each skin is provided with 24 historically correct serial number decals (for the A block 1).  All necessary items are provided; drop tanks. decals, pilots, sounds, and so forth. Weapons used are all stock in-game items. If I missed anything, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed. Please read the "Notes" for how to select the alternative STRIKE loadout.
      The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The refueling door operates with the Shift/1 (one) keystroke. This also makes use of the expanded RWR listings, and hopefully I've gotten all them tgas together.
      The aircraft is supplied with 3 skins for the original "starting" Air Force users:
      USAF: 16th TFS, 388th TFW
      Belgian Air Force: No.359 Squadron (<1979)
      Netherlands Air Force (KLU) No.322 Squadron (<1980)
      Those squadrons in the stock 3W squadronlist.ini (BAF & KLU) have their displayed name activated via either my (patent pending) fake SqTail decal, or a squadron badge decal, or both.
      When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
      F-16A Blk 1 Fighting Falcon (TMF)
      So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. This will also differentialize THIS one from the many other Falcon mods zipping around, including the stock 3W one.
      As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. The original readme is included. The 'Change Log' is, of course, in the Notes section below.
      Good Hunting & Happy Landings!

    19. Hogs in Reserve: A-10A in Air Force Reserve Service, 1990s

                                        Hogs in Reserve: A-10A in Air Force Reserve Service, 1990s
      This is a skin and decal mod to bring the A-10s of the US Air Force Reserves throughout the 1990s to SF2
      It features skins for both the European 1 green skins as well as the Grey Compass Ghost scheme that the Hogs settled into as the 90s progressed.
      Although considered a part time frorce, the AFRES hogs were quite busy throughout the 1990s supporting operations in the Balkans and over Northern Iraq. This mod has pinpointed the aircraft of each unit as accurately as possible within each unit
          
      Note: the 706th Fighter Squadron is covered from 1996 on, not the aircraft the squadron used in Desert Storm. most of those went to the boneyard shortly after coming home as the squadron converted to F-16s for a few years.

              Included
      Skins and decals for 4 AFRES A-10 squadrons: the 45th FS "IN", 47th FS "BD", 303rd FS "KC", and 706th FS "NO" post 1996.

    20. Mirage F1EE ALR

      Mirage F1EE_ALR
      This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.
      In June 1975, with tension growing with Morocco, Spain decided to strengthen its Air Force and bought 15 Mirage F1C that were allocated to Albacete AB. In mid-1976 there was still some tension with Morocco and Algerian and Libyan MiG-25 flights on the Mediterranean, which would lead the Spanish Air Force to purchase ten more Mirage F1C and two years later order 48 Mirage F1C and F1E.
      F1EE_ALR specifics:
      Same as EE_Late except:
      - RWR AN/ALR-300 installed instead of RWR BF - 6 aircraft were modified
      Covered units :
      Ala 14.
      This addon is and will in all cases remain freeware.
      Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms.
      Enjoy
      The Mirage F-1 Team.

    21. 3rd Wing Moves North

              3rd Wing Moves North
      The 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing was slated to leave Clark AB in the Phillipines in 1992. However the eruption of Mt Pinatubo in June 1991 caused a much more rapid departure than planned from the Philippines. The 3rd Wing set up shop at Elmendorf AFB, Alaska in December 1991, taking over from the 21st Wing that had been the host unit.
      By January 1994, the 3 Wing had the 19th and 54th Fighter Squadrons operating F-15C and D Eagles, the 90th Fighter Squadron operating the F-15E Strike Eagle, The 517th Airlift Squadron operating the C-130H Hercules and the 962nd Airborne Air Control Squadron operating the E-3A Sentry
      This mod sets up everything you need to send the 3rd Wing or any of its elements into battle in the mid 1990s. While primarily focused on the Pacific theater of operations, the 90th Fighter Squadron did participate in Operation Deny Flight in Europe from October 1995 until start of 1996.
              Included
      Aircraft: F-15C/D_91, F-15E_92, C-130H3, E-3A  as well as the decals and pilots for these aircraft

    22. Wings Over Ogaden

      Hello! Thank you for downloading my mod!

      This mod is based of the Ogaden War, an obscure conflict not really known or told about today. So I decided to make a campaign based off of it! Be warned, this mod probably won't be super historically accurate, please bear with me as this is my first ever mod and there will most likely be bugs. Thank you!
       
      It is July 13th, 1977, and Somalia has invaded the Ogaden, an area in the Horn of Africa claimed to be held by both Somalia and Ethiopia. Claiming that the Ogaden belonged to "Greater Somalia", combined with both deteriorated relations with the USSR and superpower intervention in Africa, Somali Dictator Siad Barre orders for troops to enter and recapture Somali inhabited territories in the Horn of Africa, with the Ogaden being first. The Ethiopians desperately fight back but being completely caught off guard and with their military being weak thanks to the Derg's overthrowing the Emperor of Ethiopia three years earlier, the Somalis captured up to 90% of the region, and their Air Force prowls the skies above the fight on the ground. Despite the odds, with the United States aircraft and the Soviet Union's support and supplies, it is up to the Ethiopian Air Force's Tigers, Frescos, Canberras, transports, sorties around the clock, and the Ethiopian Ground Forces to recapture the region and push the Somalis out of the region. Scramble immediately, and take back the skies of the Ogaden!

    23. Ju-88 Cockpit repaint for Veltro2K's Ju-88 - Kesselbrut's Cockpit

      Here is a (decent) repaint of the supplied Kesselbrut's Mosquito cockpit for use in Veltro2K's Ju88's. Again, I made it for my personal use but maybe the five of us (me, Kev and other kindred spirits) who still use SF2 to sim WW2 can get some use out of it. 
      Made for SF2, it's the needed bmp's, one tga, and the cockpit.ini file ONLY. I wasn't happy with the way some of the gauges were presenting, so I've made some changes.  
      The cockpit textures are 2048x2048, in the old days we didn't have the horsepower to run such large cockpit textures, but those days are long gone. Resize them if you do experience any problems. 
      Not 100% accurate, there's always compromises that have to be made, but it is what it is, I have done my best.
      INSTALLATION:
      Copy and paste the bmp's and tga from this file into your V2K Ju88 cockpit folder. Place the cockpit.ini in the main aircraft folder. Back up the corresponding original files in case you want to revert.
      That's it. 
      Note that although this is made for the Ju88C, it will work in any of Veltro's Ju88's, and I guess you could use it any any German twin engine bomber without a decent cockpit. 
      CREDITS:
       - Veltro2K for the Ju-88 and for the HUGE range of WW2 and later aircraft you have done for us. Much appreciated!
       - Kesselbrut for another one of his great cockpits. I hope you're doing well wherever you are Daniel.  
       - Veltro advises the cockpit was modded by Capun for use in German aircraft, thanks to Capun for that work!
       - CombatAce for being a bastion of Strike Fighters for these many. many years.
       - TK for creating SFP1 and SF2 for all of us to enjoy.

    24. He-162 Cockpit repaint for Geo's Volksjager Cockpit

      Here is a (strangely done) repaint of Geo's He-162 cockpit for use in his He-162 Volksjager. As usual, I made it for my personal use but maybe the five of us (me, Kev and other kindred spirits) who still use SF2 to sim WW2 can get some use out of it. 
      Made for SF2, it's the needed bmp's AND TGA's ONLY. This was a strange one in that most of the panel gauges are TGA's. Had to learn how to do them again :(
      The cockpit textures are 2048x2048, in the old days we didn't have the horsepower to run such large cockpit textures, but those days are long gone. Resize them if you do experience any problems. 
      Not 100% accurate, there's always compromises that have to be made, but it is what it is, I have done my best.
      INSTALLATION:

      That's it. 
      CREDITS:
       - Geo for the He-162, all in one mod. I hope you're doing well wherever you are George.
       - CombatAce for being a bastion of Strike Fighters for these many. many years.

    25. Me-262 Cockpit repaint for Veltro2K's Me-262 - Kesselbrut's Cockpit

      Here is a (so-so) repaint of Kesselbrut's Me-262 cockpit for use in Veltro2K's Me-262's. Again, I made it for my personal use but maybe the five of us (me, Kev and other kindred spirits) who still use SF2 to sim WW2 can get some use out of it. 
      Made for SF2, it's the needed bmp's ONLY.

      Not 100% accurate, there's always compromises that have to be made, but it is what it is, I have done my best.
      I HIGHLY recommend you get any of Julio Junqueira's excellent 109 pits and grab the optional pilot legs and drop them in your 190. They work fine and I'm sure you have them already. You should. 
      INSTALLATION:
      Copy and paste the bmp's from this file into your V2K 262 cockpit folder. Back up the corresponding original files in case you want to revert.
      That's it.
