    1. [Fictional] North American F-109A Retaliator

      North American F-109A 'Retaliator' for Strike Fighters 2
      This is a simple mod of Julhelm's superb North American A-5A Vigilante to make a fictional 'Retaliator' interceptor-fighter in service with the USAF in the 1964 to 1988 timeline. There was actually several North American proposals for 'fighter' Vigilantes offered to the USN and to the USAF and it's a pity that the enormous potential of this amazing aircraft was never fully realised. Anyway, 'what if' markings are enclosed for three ANG squadrons;
      1. 101st Fighter Interceptor Squadron - Massachusetts ANG
      2. 159th Fighter Interceptor Squadron - Florida ANG
      3. 186th Fighter Interceptor Squadron - Montana ANG

      BACKSTORY
      Development of the North American A3J-1 Vigilante progressed well during the late 1950's and the first flight of the YA3J-1 prototype in August 1958 revealed it to be a real thoroughbred, packed from nose to tail with outstanding technology. However, a strong faction against the Vigilante was forming within the USN arguing that strategic bombing was not part of the USN's business and North American decided not to assume that large orders for the 'basic' A3J-1 would follow and they began to look at other roles for the Vigilante.
      One line of development would eventually lead to the reconnaissance Vigilante (RA-5C) but another line of development transformed the A3J-1 into various fleet defender and ADC fighter options. Fortunately, the wing of the A3J-1 was designed for zero wind over deck launches and this resulted in a wing too large for low-level attack missions but ideal for a fighter. During early 1959 North American offered a long-range fighter version to the USN and USAF but had only a lukewarm response. However, following the cancellation of their F-108 Rapier in September 1959 things now became a bit more urgent for North American and they schemed a revised A3J-1 Fighter with uprated J79 engines and semi-recessed Sparrow missiles. 
      Trying again in 1960 they received a firm no from the USN (who by then knew they had a winner in the F4H-1 Phantom II) but the USAF agreed to a detailed analysis of an optimsed land-based interceptor fighter (named Retaliator in May 1960) and in June 1960 they announced that the Retaliator was to be ordered as an immediate follow-on to the F-106 programme with 350 ordered although this figure was later reduced to 240.
      The prototype YF-109 flew on April 30th 1962 and production F-109A's entered service in late 1964 with the 5th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Minot AFB, North Dakota. The only export order was from Canada who ordered 60 in 1968 and these entered service with No.409 squadron in 1969 remaining in service until 1990.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-109A folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-109A folder into your Decals folder.
      3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the F-109A_FuelPod into your Pilots folder.
      That's it!
        
      NOTES
      Julhelm's Vigilante comes with an authentic Vigilante pit so rather than just slap a Phantom pit into this bird I've used his pit and just tweaked the ini's for the interceptor-fighter role. I'm not the greatest on avionics but it works! 
      In this revised upload I've chosen to include the Fuel Pod as a pilot (in the same way that we add a Fake Pilot) as I'd noticed my wingmen were jettisoning it when the action started even when adding NoJettisonTank=TRUE. I've also added AIM-9 Sidewinder's to the Retaliator's inner wing pylons.
      This aircraft needs/deserves a gun but I've resisted the temptation. However, you can add one if you like and the space from the redundant linear bomb bay could easily accommodate a neat M61 installation slap-bang on the centreline.

    3. B-57B Vietnam (Plus) Skinpack

      This is a complete overhaul/update/fixing of great Dave original package,
      an handmade reskin using Lod viewer and no templates.
      The job was started several years ago and finished after downloaded last
      Kevin's effort.
      So you'll find, jpg textures, SM files, fixed camo, lines and right shaped
      stripes and some missing parts added to originals.
      As I always dislike redoing someone's else work pratice without a valid
      reason, this job started only for personal use, but when became a complete
      overhaul, I decided to share.
      As a bonus  a Defence Systems Evaluation skin made by myself using TW silver
      skin as template (EB-57B) and a second AVON 1 skin for 13 BS.
      Decals are taken from Dave's package and some are brand new.
      Remember to delete ALL previous old skins from original pack if installed.
      I hope you like.

      Happy new year.

    4. [Fictional] RAAF RA-5C Vigilante

      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.

    5. [Fictional] Lockheed F-104H Starfighter for SF2

      Lockheed F-104H Starfighter for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
      This is a simple mod of the stock F-104G to create a fictional F-104H in service with Air/Aerospace Defense Command in the 1966-1986 timeline. Markings are provided for the following squadrons;
      111st Fighter Interceptor Squadron (Texas Air National Guard)
      178th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (North Dakota Air National Guard)
      186th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (Montana Air National Guard)
      318th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (a regular USAF unit attached to the 25th Air Division)

      BACKSTORY
      On March 15th 1963, two Soviet bombers overflew Alaska and despite a desperate chase the F-102A's of Alaskan Air Command were unable to intercept them. The immediate response to this embarrassing intrusion was to deploy ten F-106A's drawn from various Air Defense Command Fighter-Interceptor Squadrons to Alaska and to recall the remaining F-104A's that had previously been transferred to the Air National Guard back in 1960.
      Despite the excellence of the F-106A it did come with a pretty hefty price tag (and was actually out of production) and Air Defense Command realised that in order to replace the earlier F-101's and F-102's a cheaper alternative was required. With Lockheed's multi-role F-104G Starfighter in a high-rate of production the relatively low unit cost attracted the attention of the US Secretary of Defence Robert McNamara who authorised production of the F-104H a dedicated interceptor version based on the F-104G and an initial order for 200 was made.
      The F-104H was powered by the uprated General Electric J79-GE-10 engine rated at 11,905 lbf dry thrust and 17,844 lbf thrust with afterburner although initial deliveries were powered by the earlier J79-GE-8B. The F-104H incorporated the advanced Litton LN-3 inertial navigation system and also featured the Autonetics NASARR F-15J-50 radar and fire control system optimised for the air-to-air mode with all ground-mapping, contour-mapping and terrain-avoidance modes deleted. After some debate, the M61 20mm cannon was retained but the main armament for the F-104H was the AIM-7 Sparrow semi-active homing missile, the AIM-9 Sidewinder infra-red heat-seeking missile and the AIR-2 Genie unguided air-to-air rocket with a 1.5 kt nuclear warhead.
      Entering service in April 1965 the F-104H eventually served with nine squadrons. Whilst the USAF's F-104A's and F-104C's had suffered the highest accident rate of any of the USAF Century Series fighters (25.2 aircraft destroyed per 100,000 flight hours) the F-104H's fared much better and were second only to the Spanish Air Force who actually achieved the perfect safety record of losing none of 21 F-104's over a total of 17,500 flight hours. The F-104H was gradually withdrawn from Aerospace Defense Command service from the late 1970's onwards although two Air National Guard units soldiered on until 1986 when the type was finally retired.
      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-104H folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-104H folder into your Decals folder.
      That's it! 

      CREDITS
      As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
      Thanks to bobrock for the excellent F-104G template.
      And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

    7. Thunderjets - Kongelige Danske Flyvevåbnet

      Royal Danish Air Force Thunderjets. 
      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.
      Mod requires new fuel tanks that are added to the mod - generally RF version uses new fuel tanks and recon wing tip pods.
      In the game under a prefix. KDF. * you will find F-84E , F-84G and RF-84G
      * Kongelige Danske Flyvevåbnet
      F-84E served very shortly for testing purposes, and F-84G ended active service in 1961. RF-84G was a European poor-man recon aircraft, using modified fuel tanks for a camera pod. Several countries used a similar concept for interim recon flight in the case of Denmark they were waiting for RF-84F. Two different recon pod setups are added, also counterbalance fuel tank and additional Fletcher fuel tanks.
      RF-84G - KA-F and KA-G never received 'RF mod' but served in 729 Esk FR flight, during these years.
      This is a very old model with some flaws....but as long as we do not have a new one I made new skins. 
      All skins are in 4096x4096 format based on new templates. You can easily resize as needed. 
      During service years, after maintenance, airframes were not always returned to the previous original squadron - resulting in a mess of squadron colors (until someone in the squadron repainted again) - but I believe I have the correct squadron colors for those years represented in a mod. 
      All serial numbers are historically correct for specific squadrons/years of service in the Danish Air Force.
      Check weapon names in loadout.ini and sounds to match your files.
       
      Credits.
      Model - russoUK.
      Yours truly  -  mambo jumbo like skins, decals, Fletcher fuel tanks and recon pod mods, research...
      Who made this cockpit? Also russoUK?

      No animal was harmed during the creation of this mod.
      Only Italian coffee was used, mod may contain cookie crumbs and nuts.
      Weapons.
      I have added Ravenclaw's HVAR rockets as the data file is correct only for Ravenclaw's HVARs/
       
      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.  Not like this mod is using some ancient or extraterrestrial files..

    9. SF2 F-105D Thunderchief by ArmorDave Update Pack

      SF2 F-105D Thunderchief by ArmorDave Update Pack                 12/3/2023
      = For SF2, Any and All =
      * Full-5 Merged reccomended *
      ** 1stGen Salvage Operation #7 **
      This is a revamp and reissue ArmorDave's F-105D Thunderchiefs for the SF2 Environment (tm). These aircraft were first released in 2004, actually predating their 3rd Wire arrival in Wings Over Vietnam. These were among the first 3-party add-ons for the Strike Fighters series.
      This mod is split into two aircraft:
      F-105D-25 (NMF) (actually covers all early D model Thuds)
      F-105D-31 (SEA 3 Tone) (Vietnam and later)
      The -25 is equivilant to the stock 3W F-105D, while the -31 is pretty much the same as the 3W F-105D_66; in fact it HAS a 1966 start date.
      The -25 has 3 skins/decal sets:
      7th TFS "Bunyaps" 49th TFW - USAFE Spangdahlem Air Base, West Germany
      562nd TFS, 23rd TFW - (shark mouth)
      563rd TFS "Ace Of Spades", 23rd TFW -both at McConnel AFB, then Takhali RTAFB
      The -31 also has 3 skin/decal sets:
      333rd TFS "Lancers", 355TFW
      357th TFS "Licking Dragons", 355TFW - both at Takhali RTAFB
      149th TFS, Virginia ANG (auto start date 1971)
      The SF2 'date swtich' will turn on the VA ANG skin in 1971(ish). All skins remain in their original bmp format. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Each unit has 24 historical serial and/or buzz numbers. As I always do, those marked with a star (*) are 100% correct for the unit. Those marked with a cross/plus sign (+) while serving in the same Wing, could =NOT= be run down to a particular squadron. Those aircraft with 'nose art' or name badges on the wings (333rd & 357th) are all new, and match their real life aircraft (ie: name ---> serial). As all the squadrons, excepting the VA ANG skin, are listed in the game's Squadron List, those displayed names are activated via Level=1 decals. Drop tanks are supplied for both aircraft, in NMF and Camo, as is a new pilot figure. All other weapons used are stock 3rd Wire, excepting any AGM-12 Bullpups you may want to load. (see notes for more info on loadouts)
      When in-game, you'll see on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown listing ...
      F-105D-25 Thunderchief (AD)
      F-105D-31 Thunderchief (AD)
      This will diferentiatalize them from the stock 3W or any others that you may have (or not). The "AD", of course, recognizes ArmorDave's contribution to SF.
      As always, fairly easy to follow yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them! Also, please read the Notes section for more expositions on which, what, why, how and/or who (whom?). For the historical records, all original readmes are included.
      Good Hunting!

    10. Meteors. - Kongelige Danske Flyvevåbnet

      Royal Danish Air Force Meteors. 
       
      This mod is not to compete with the previous Meteor mods that I was part of. It is just my, different approach.
      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.
      A fake pilot is required to run this mod. Also, the Thirdwire Meteor cockpit is required from the original game. 
      Fuel tanks- not to be afraid. Overwrite or just leave it. 100 gal tank is the original TW tank. You can overwrite or just simply do not copy.
      175 gal tank also.
      Tanks are just ini files. The mod uses tanks that are part of aircraft lod.
      Yes, again Meteors. 
      But I made this revamp to fix what I wanted to fix for some time already in old models..plus a few new things.
      In the game under a prefix .KDF. * you will find Meteor F.4, F.8, NF.11, and TT20 that served in the Royal Danish Air Force.
      * Kongelige Danske Flyvevåbnet

      TT.20 target tug works the same way as one in the RAF Meteors pack. 
      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 nor coffee. 
      All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed. Now all Meteors are using the same common color standard. Skins represent all squadrons that operationally used Meteors.

      All should have those RP-3 rockets in their installs but I am adding them anyways as those are the only ones that work with this aircraft lod.
      This model is designed/checked only to work with Ravenclaw's RP-3 rockets - so there might be some strange positioning in other (stock) rockets.

    17. SF2 B-57B Canberra, Early SEA Camo Skin Pack

      SF2 B-57B Canberra, Early SEA Camo Skin Pack                 12/21/2023
      = For SF2, Any and All =
      * Full-5 Merged reccomended *
      This mod is designed to be used with my recently uploaded B-57B Upgrade & Skis set. You can still use it, if you're familiar enough with added/editing inis. If not, you can find the Upgrade Pack at the following URL:
      https://combatace.com/files/file/18162-sf2-b-57b-canberra-ini-skin-decal-update-pak/
      A new Vietnam-era skin for the stock 3rdWire B-57B Canberra. This represents the 8th Bombardment Squadron of the 35th TFW as first deployed to Southeast Asia. The uppers are finished is standard 3-tone camo, with the unders in a 'light grey'. This was an unpopular paint job, and was replaced soon after with the standard Night Black (tm) unders.
      All markings are decals, and have 24 100% historically correct serials, and their presentation on the tail, for the timeframe represented. Decal randomization is TRUE. As usual, they are marked with the star (*) to show their accuracy.
      Also included, is a new(ish) Dual HVAR launcher, as requested (along with this skin) by CA member KiwiBiggles. It's a modified, aircraft specific version of the dual rack as used on the F-84 Thunderjet/Thunderstreak. It mounts the STOCK 3W 5" HVAR rockets. It has been edited to it's own name, and will NOT conflict with the T-Jet rack. A new loadout ini is included that pre-loads the Dual Rack for those mission taskings when it would be needed. This skin also includes it's own Hangar Screen. (You may need to edit the main B-57B.ini to add it. If you don't know how, contact me via PM or post in this announcement thread)
      On the Loadout screen, for skin selection you'll see:
      8th BS (Early Grey Unders)
      On the drop-down menu
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
      Good Hunting!

    18. [Fictional] Saab-Fairchild F-13A Draken USAF

      Saab-Fairchild F-13A Draken for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a very fictional 'what if' Saab-Fairchild F-13A Draken in USAF service and with markings for the following;
      1. 125th FW Florida ANG
      2. 177th FW New Jersey ANG
      3. 4451st TS Tonopah Test Range, Nevada
      I've used the excellent Draken J35D 'David' from the Draken pack uploaded at CombatACE by lindr2 to create this 'what if' USAF Draken but heartily recommend the Draken pack which has no less than 8 Drakens and is a superb effort by all concerned. 
      In this update I've removed the grey skin and added a black skin for the 4451st TS at Tonopah. I've also added 'extra' pylons so as to be able to have date specific loadouts and also allow for selectable silver and black drop tanks with the black drop tanks a better match for the all black 4451st TS skin from 1982 onwards. For the F-13A's early service years of 1967 to 1968 you'll be limited to AIM-4D Falcons in the default loadouts... good luck with those!

      BACKSTORY
      During mid-1965 with attrition rates rising as the Vietnam conflict progressed (sic) the USAF's plans for re-equipping the ADC and ANG interceptor squadrons with F-4C's fell apart. Undaunted they launched a quick study into an off-the-shelf purchase of an alternative interceptor looking at the BAC Lightning, the Dassault Mirage IIIC, the Saab Draken J35F and the homegrown Lockheed Starfighter 'ADC' (an F-104G optimised for air-defense duties). With some considerable weighting given to low cost in the detailed analysis the Saab Draken soon became the front-runner being the only aircraft with a fly-away price below $1M but, in fact, the USAF study team scored the Draken highly in most areas. 
      In July 1966 the USAF announced that Saab's outstanding J35F was the winner of the competition and that Fairchild, who had recently taken over Republic Aviation, were to partner Saab in producing the aircraft by now redesignated F-13 (despite objections from Fairchild to the 'unlucky' number although Saab didn't seem too bothered). Entering service with the Florida Air National Guard in March 1967 the F-13 was initially viewed as the poor relation by the F-106 squadrons, a situation that soon changed with the success of the F-13 in the 1970 William Tell competition. F-13's served until the mid-1980's when they were generally replaced by F-16A's although one squadron remained in service until 1990 at the Tonopah Test Range in Nevada in a ruse designed to mask operations of the F-117 Stealth Fighter.
      During the flight-testing and the early service years of the F-117A 'Nighthawk' the F-13A Draken was used as a surrogate aircraft to maintain pilot proficiency and to provide part of an eloborate cover story for the existence of the 4450th Tactical Group. Whilst in no way similar to the shape of the F-117A the rakish lines of the Draken did have an unusual planform and was therefore chosen as the 'cover' aircraft for the specially created 4451st Tactical Squadron based at Tonopah. It is believed that 18 F-13A's were given a modest refurbishment to extend their operational lives and initially wore a two-tone grey scheme to give them more of an operational 'front-line' appearance. F-13A's entered service with the 4451st TS at Nellis AFB in May 1981 and wore 'LV' tailcodes due to their proximity to Las Vegas. From about 1983 at least half of the F-13A's were re-painted matt black and operated from Tonopah at times of day to to coincide with the F-117A test programme and it became a deliberate policy to park some of the matt black F-13A's out in the open so as to give the impression that Tonopah was simply a normal operational F-13A base. At least four derelict ex-Florida ANG F-13A's arrived by low-loader and were given an overall coat of matt black paint to help maintain this impression.
       
      The F-13A's were extremely popular with the pilots of the 4451st TS and were often used as 'Red' assets in Red Flag exercises and even made the occasional guest appearance in 'Constant Peg' operations when MiG's became unserviceable or simply to provide dissimilar bogeys. As the F-117A gradually moved from 'black' to 'grey' towards the end of the 1980's the 4451st TS's F-13A operations slowly dwindled and the unit was disbanded on April 30th, 1990. 

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-13A_Draken folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-13A_Draken folder into your main Decals folder.
      3. From the SOUNDS folder drag and drop both 'Avon' files into your SOUNDS folder.
      4. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop both folders into your main WEAPONS folder.
      That's it!

      *Full 5 Merged Installs Recommended*            
      This terrain mod is designed to REPLACE any and all eariler versions. It also includes any previous updates from long past years. It is designed for use with the SF2-NA environment
      While the tiling has not been touched, (almost) all the target areas have been revamped, rebuilt or replaced. Several new regions have been added, and many of the other inis have been upgraded (See Notes for more changes). Several items (Ground Objects & Weapons) are supplied; in the Notes section is a list of other items you'll probably want to obtain. Be advised, you will experience longer than usual loading times, due to the weight of objects on the terrain. And yes, you can expect a plethora of 'hidden in the open' Easter Eggs. After all, it's my trademark!! (tm)
      As always, PLEASE read the install instructions, and the accompaning Notes and Other Nonsense for more details on other needed items. As is reccommended, unzip to an easy to find location, so you can access the readme for it's full instructions. Gepard's original readme is also included, for historical purposes.

    20. [Fictional] Saab Draken F.1

      Saab Draken F.1 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a 'what if' Saab Draken F.1 with markings for No.56 and No.74 squadrons of the Royal Air Force as they might of appeared in the 1960's in service with RAF Fighter Command.
      I've used the excellent Draken J35D 'David' from the Draken pack uploaded at CombatACE by lindr2 to create this 'what if' RAF Draken but heartily recommend the Draken pack which has no less than 8 Drakens and is a superb effort by all concerned. 
      Apart from a simple bit of overspray onto the superb Bare Metal Skin I've simply used my decals to create RAF Drakens for No.56 sqd (The Firebirds) and No.74 sqd (The Tigers) and these two squadrons were never far away from each other during that era. I've tweaked the data.ini and also the loading.ini to give RAF style loadouts and also used the stock Su-7 drop tanks which are a good match.
      The Draken itself was an amazing achievement and has a similar WOW factor to the contempory 'Century Series' of fighters - you just cannot believe it first flew in 1955... it just looks so cool! As much as I love the English 
      Electric Lightning you must remember that the Draken had half the power but effectively did the same job plus another half-a-dozen! In addition, it cost dramatically less and it certainly required a fraction of the maintenance man-hours!
      Suggested further reading - Saab Draken (chapter) 'Early Supersonic Fighters of the West' (Bill Gunston)

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the DrakenF1 folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the DrakenF1 folder into your main Decals folder.
      3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the Firestreak1 folder into your Weapons folder.

    21. SF2 B-57B Canberra Ini, Skin & Decal Update Pak

      SF2 B-57B Canberra Ini, Skin & Decal Update Pak                 11/30/2023
      = For SF2, Any and All =
      * Full-5 Merged reccomended, but can be used in any game with access to the STOCK B-57B & F-4C_67 *
      ** Designed to REPLACE in total, any earlier mod packages of this type **
      Some ini mods for the stock 3W B-57B that add a usable cockpit (albeit not perfect!, but VERY usable & functional), new avioncs ini, and adds the Nuclear Delivery Capability (tm) they had from inception. All this will make the aircraft Player Flyable (tm). Be advised, your game install MUST have access to the stock F-4C_67, as that cockpit is used in this mod. See "Notes" for more Whys.
      This mod includes a new skin, for the 499th BS, 345th BG with historical serial & Buzz Numbers for 24 aircraft. It should be noted, while correct for the 345th, I was unable to locate serials specifically for the 499th. The "Bat Out of Hell" nose art IS fictious, but historical as used on their B-25s during WW2 in the Pacific. I just thought it looked cool!. Also included (as seen in the SF2 CA Forum) is a new skin for the wing tip drop tanks as used on the Natural Metal Finish (NMF) skin. As of now, it's set up ONLY for the USAF NMF skin, but is easily used on any other NMFs. See "Notes" below are more instructions. The USAF NMF skin also gets 24 correct serial & buzz number decals, but they are 'generic' in nature, representing no specific unit.
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them! You may with to unzip this archive FIRST before installing, to read all the crazed instructions. Also, please read the Notes section for more expositions on WHY I chose the cockpit I did.
      Happy Landings!

    24. PL-17 BVR AAM

      1.Preface
      The specific parameters of this weapon are still extremely mysterious, and very little information has been disclosed to the outside world. Even its actual appearance may be different from the public photos (it is suspected that most of the photos are just inert training version).
      Therefore, part of its performance is purely my guess based on the existing data. Based on the "What if" attribute, I try to make it as close as possible to what it should be.
      The following is quoted from information provided by Wiki, exactly what I used as a reference to fill in the data:
      PL-17 is much larger than other long-range air-to-air missiles, at 6 m (20 ft) long (whereas PL-15, AIM-120 are measured around 4 m (13 ft) long), which contains more solid fuel. The extended length makes the missile unfit for the internal weapons bay of the Chengdu J-20. During the flight, PL-17 would rely on inertial guidance, satellite navigation, and data-link to track targets. During the terminal phase, the missile would turn on its multimode seeker with both active AESA radar and IR-homing to track the target autonomously. The missile features a low-drag profile, and maneuverability is provided by four small control fins and thrust-vectoring engines. The range is reportedly between 300–500 km (190–310 mi) by various media, or 400 km (250 mi) class by Royal United Services Institute with a top speed in excess of Mach 4.  
      2.What's in the mod:
      Actually,it include 2 versions:
      1.PL-17 —— live ammunition,white paint with black identification ring;
      2.PL-17J ——  Inert training version that I made up (because I didn’t know its real type name, I used the initials of the training ammunition in Chinese),blue-green paint, cannot be launched and is only used as a decoration in SF2;
       
      3.Precautions:
      1.Due to the large size of thses 2 missiles, they are usually only available on specific station in specific aircrafts, if you can't find them, it's likely that the station is incompatible;
      2.The last two pictures are in real life for reference.
       
      4.Usage:
      Copy PL-17 and PL-17J folders to your Weapons folder ,then everthing should be fine.

    25. F-CK-1 Ching-Kuo


      F-CK-1 Ching-kuo (IDF) Multirole Fighter Jet
      by UllyB

      November the 21th 2023/ver 1.0.1   
              ****************************************
       
      The Taiwanese Ching-Kuo Fighter is developed and manufactured by the Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation based in Taichung. The aircraft is also referred to as the Indigenous Defence Fighter (IDF). The Ching-Kuo is an all-weather, multi-role fighter and is built in one-seater and two-seater configurations.
      Ching-Kuo fighter programme
      The programme to develop the aircraft, known as the An Hsiang or Safe Flight programme, started in 1982 with identification of the requirements for an air-superiority fighter. The rollout ceremony of the first prototype took place in December 1988, when the aircraft was named after the late President Chiang Ching-Kuo. The Ching-Kuo made its first flight in May 1989.
      Ching-Kuo air superiority fighters are operational in the RoC Air Force of Taiwan (Republic of China) since January 2000 and the last of a total of 130 entered service in July 2000.
      AIDC has developed an upgrade package which includes a digital cockpit, upgraded radar and countermeasures. BAE Systems supplied the new 32-bit digital flight control computer. Two F-CK-1 prototypes were upgraded to F-CK-1 C/D in 2006. The upgraded C/D aircraft made its first flight in October 2006. It was renamed as F-CK-1 C/D Hsiung Ying (Brave Hawk) in 2007. Other improvements in the upgrade package included increased internal fuel capacity, improved avionics, renovated electronic warfare capabilities and strengthened landing gear. Production of the C/D version began in 2009 as part of the $588m Mid Life Upgrade (MLU) programme.
      AIDC will upgrade the initial 71 of 130 IDFs under the MLU programme. The first batch of six upgraded F-CK-1 C/D IDFs were delivered to the ROCAF in June 2011. The remaining 65 were delivered at the end of 2012.
       

              ***********************************************
      FCK-1 also known by you, by now, as COMMUNITY MOST WANTED is the first project here that was decided after a democratic vote of community members. I decided to let community vote what type of plane would wish to be built as a sign of appreciation and respect for it.
      This project had a bumpy start. We lost the 3D Max guy after two weeks.Things went so bad that I saw no other way out than to close the shop. Then GKABS offered to help and bought a 3D model from the market. He and his team offered to take over the project but they had to postponed it before because of their current projects at that time. Then I had a long talk with my old friend and veteran Logan4 who, miraculously  offered to help and he gave me a reason to resurrect the project and put it back on tracks. We built a small team and we proceeded forward.  
      As one said it, I owe him one for that. Logan4 had an utmost contribution to this very project.Truth is that Logan4 and his exceptional character and altruism saved the project and I thank him for that deeply.
