Strike Fighters 2 Series by Thirdwire

General Dynamics F-111A 'Early TAC' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of the superb F-111A by FastCargo to represent a fictional 'earlier timeline' version of the F-111A entering service in 1965 with service years restricted to 1965 to 1967 inclusive.

BACKSTORY
Perhaps the three technical breakthroughs that came together to make the F-111A (the swing-wing, the afterburning turbofan and solid-state devices) came together just that little bit earlier leading to the corresponding earlier drafting of SOR-183 and the resultant TFX competition thus predating McNamara and the distraction of 'commonality' and the Naval F-111B.

INSTRUCTIONS
Firstly, please make sure you've got the F-111 SuperVarkPack for the tanks and weapons bay mounted gun. Got it? Good!
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-111A_TAC folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-111A_TAC folder into your Decals folder.
3. From the SOUNDS folder drag and drop the TF30_DRY AND TF30_WET files into your Sounds folder.
That's it!

CREDITS
As always, big thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.
Massive thanks to FastCargo for the full and complete F-111 family. The F-111 Super Vark Pack by FastCargo gives comprehensive thanks to everyone who has played a part and his credits include thanks to Norman Knight for the F-111 pit.
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
Regards

SF2 The Forest Bowl Terrain, V.2

By Wrench

SF2 Forest Bowl Terrain, V.2 4/5/2020
- For SF2, Any & All (Full-4/5 Merged, + Expansion Packs Reccomended)
This is a (mostly) complete revamp of "The Forest Bowl" terrain that was included in the (uncompleted) SF2 Civil/Firefighter Mod. It has been completely retargeted to make it a useful 'combat' terrain. All new movement inis, targets, types, etc. Also, now all 4 seasons are working. This terrain takes place in the fictional world of the Alliance vs the Global Sedition. The map is fully functional for ALL mission types with year spans from the 1940s through the far future (well, at least 2050) ie: There are NO mission type or time limitations.
Many and Lots (tm) of new terrain objects have been added, all cities are now valid targets. Shipping, Ground Attack and Armed Recon missions have a good number of routes for both sides to utlize. As is my habit, the terrain is covered with Easter Eggs; you shouldn't have any problems finding them. In short, the terrain is a myth-mash.
You may experience longer than normal loading times due to the number of terrain objects and seasonal tiles.
As is reccomended, unzip this archive to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. It's reccomended you -read- the document through after unzipping, but =BEFORE= installing.

As always, the Notes and Other Nonesense section may make for entertaining reading.
Good Hunting!

Vietcong Red Dawn Game Main Theme Sound Track for Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam Planning Map

By zade1990

Well I honestly thought it would be cool to add a little bit of suspense music to the in -game planning map where the 'down-town' strike missions are being planned with a little bit of classic 60s pure blues Guitar music and the main theme sound track of 'Vietcong Red Dawn' game is one of my favourite.
So I added it as the Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam in-game planning map sound track.
To install simply extract the contents of this file to your mod folder:
C:\Users\[Your User Name]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Vietnam\
and when prompted to overwrite, Click 'yes'.
Thats it!
Many thanks to 'prejdak' for uploading it on youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_hED3zkRZ4
Note: If other menu/sound mods are installed, make sure to back-up the previous 'PLANNINGMAPSCREEN.INI' file before installing this mod!

anti ship missle AGM-158C LRASM

By JosefK

AGM-158C LRASM by @JosefK
This is a data + skin mod of the AGM-158 for the C model, the Long Range Anti-Ship Missile or LRASM. All based on @FastCargo's AGM-158 JASSM for the anti-ship missile variant.
It's worth noting has a service start year of 2018 and is assumed to stop serving in 2050. Also the LRASM has a range of over 600 km/300 nm.
In Real-Life/RL, the LRASM has only been integrated with the B-1B and the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet but the intention is to make her work with the F-35 and vertically launch from ships. US Navy (USN) and Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) only customers so far, but Sweden, Australia, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Canada and Japan are likely customers also. To read more, go here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGM-158C_LRASM
Feel free to report any bugs. This is my first serious weapons mod effort.

[Fictional] Lockheed F-19A 'Sniper' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2

Lockheed F-19A 'Sniper' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a simple mod of the stock MiG-19S to create a fictional Lockheed F-19A 'Sniper' in service with USN & USMC Aggressor Squadrons in the 1974 to 2003 timeline.

BACKSTORY
Only during the mid-1980's was it revealed that an unexpected outcome of President Nixon's historic visit to China in 1972 was the purchase of 30 Shenyang J-6 fighters for use as Aggressor aircraft. The aircraft were clandestinely delivered early in 1974 with the US Navy taking 22 aircraft and the US Marine Corps taking the balance of 8 which entered service with VMFT-401 in April 1976. In service, the aircraft were supported by specialist teams from Lockheed and were eventually designated F-19A with the unofficial name of 'Sniper'.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-19A folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-19A folder into your Decals folder.
That's it!

CREDITS
As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
Special thanks to Stary for the MiG-19S cockpit.
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

[Fictional] McDonnell Douglas F-4F 'Marineflieger'

McDonnell Douglas F-4F 'Marineflieger' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a simple mod of the stock F-4F to create a minimum change maritime strike version of the F-4F in service with the Marineflieger of the West German Bundesmarine in the 1973-1989 timeline. Perhaps with Starfighters falling out of the sky the West German Government enlarged the F-4F purchase and gave the Marineflieger initial deliveries.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-4FM folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-4FM folder into your Decals folder.
That's it!
For best results, you will need to have the Kormoran air-to-surface missile by ravenclaw_007 in your install.

[Fictional] BAC Lightning F.54 - Marineflieger

BAC Lightning F.54 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (EP2)
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire BAC Lightning F.53 to give a fictional Lightning F.54 in service with the Marineflieger (the naval air arm of the Bundesmarine or West German Navy) with markings for Marineflieger MFG 1 and Marineflieger MFG 2.
You will need Expansion Pack 2.

BACKSTORY
The first rumours of an alleged bribery scandal surrounding the purchase of the Lockheed F-104G Starfighter by the West German Government coincided with the ferociously high attrition rate of the Starfighter in Luftwaffe and Marineflieger service. With the end of Lightning production on the near horizon BAC submitted a brochure to the Bonn Government and Marineflieger Officials for a proposed multi-role Lightning based on the F.53 and this proposal was accepted leading to a modest production order for 60 Lightning F.54's which entered service
in late 1968 with MFG1 and MFG2 before being retired in 1987.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the LightningF54 folder into your main Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the LightningF54 folder into your main Decals folder.
3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the AS-30 folder into your main Weapons folder.

Convair F-106 Delta Dart pack upgrade

F-106A Delta Dart
The Convair F-106 Delta Dart was the primary all-weather interceptor aircraft
of the United States Air Force from the 1960s through to the 1980s. Designed
as the so-called "Ultimate Interceptor", it proved to be the last dedicated
interceptor in U.S. Air Force service to date. It was gradually retired during
the 1980s.

F-106A Project Six Shooter 1972
In 1972 F-106As were upgraded in Project Six Shooter that involved fitting
the F-106 with a new canopy without metal bracing which greatly improved pilot
visibility. Also added was an optical gunsight, and provision for a single M61
Vulcan 20 mm cannon. The M61 Vulcan had 650 rounds of ammunition in the center
weapons bay and it replaced the AIM-26 Super Falcon or Genie.
QF-106A Drone Pacer Six
Between 1 June 1983 and 1 August 1988 the Delta Darts were incrementally retired
and sent to the Military Storage and Disposition Center in Arizona.When the need
for a high performance Full Scaled Aerial Target Drone was required the USAF began
withdrawing Delta Darts from storage. Starting in 1986, 194 (F-106A and B) of the
surviving surplus aircraft were converted into target drones and these were
designated QF-106As and used for target practice vehicles under the Pacer Six Program
by the Aerial Targets Squadron. The last was destroyed in January 1998.The drones
were still capable of being flown as manned aircraft, such as for ferrying to a test;
during the test they were flown unmanned.The QF-106 replaced the QF-100 Super Sabre
drone; the last shoot down of a QF-106 (57-2524) took place at Holloman AFB on 20
February 1997 after which the QF-106 was superseded by the QF-4S and QF-4E Phantom II
drone.
What's In:
- F-106A repacked
- F-106A '72 refit
- QF-106A Drone Pacer Six
- Sounds, Pilots, Weapons, screens
- 50 new / redone High Res kins
