Strike Fighters 2 Series by Thirdwire

Klaxianti Dai-Shan/Shin Alien Aggressor Pack
By Viper63a
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full 4/5 Merged Recommended, Also converts to SF1)
 
A "What If" aircraft for your enjoyment. A big thanks to Wrench/Kevin for the re-release of the "SF2 Avro VZ-9 Aerocar Pak". We talked about it while back and I never did find it. But here it was and I was able to complete that UFO project I've been waiting to work on...
 
If you're looking for Wrench's "SF2 Avro VZ-9 Aerocar Pak", you can download it here...
 
http://combatace.com...-9-aerocar-pak/
 
This is a stand-alone mod (doesn't need anything else to install). Included are two (2) variants of Klaxianti Dai-Shan and Shin Recon Vessels. Both are armed with KlaxPlasma Quantum BallistiCanons (and any other weapon they may have obtained from the Terrans at Area 51!
 
Since these are Alien crafts, I aligned the "NationName=AGRS". So if you install this pack into the "SF2 USAF Red Flag Nellis AFB Proving Grounds ", these aliens may pop over from Area 51 to test your skills. But, your best chance of seeing one of these might be just to fly them!

--------------------------------------------------------------------
= Install Instructions:
 
1) Nothing should conflict with this pack, but I still recommend you back up your target SF2 Mod folder.
2) Copy the uncompressed contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" to your target SF2 Mod folder. Overwrite if asked.
3) Go fly a "Klaxianti Dai" and let down your alien hair down as you dominate the skies of Earth!

The MESA radar provides air-to-air coverage, air-to-surface coverage, integrated identification friend or foe, special track beams and focused sector operation.
MESA builds on the company's expertise acquired from the AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) to bring military airborne surveillance capabilities to mid-size Boeing 737 aircraft.
MESA enables sophisticated air-to-air and maritime coverage and integrated identification of friend-or-foe systems.
Advances in technology have caused a revolution in the capabilities and flexibility of airborne surveillance systems and sensors used in Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) systems. Developments in distributed transmitters, commercial off-the-shelf processing and high-performance antenna arrays have enabled ES multirole electronically scanned array (MESA) radar to be cost effectively applied to the next generation Boeing 737-700 series aircraft.

"1967 saw the beginning of Operation Creek Party. This operation provided air refueling support to United States
Air Forces in Europe tactical aircraft through the rotation of ANG aircrews and aircraft flying from Rhein Main Air Base,
Germany This operation, which continued until 1975, demonstrated the ability of the ANG to perform significant day-to-day
missions without being mobilized."

RoCAF was the sole foreign airforce ouside USA that used U-2. Several were downed over China.
 
Here some history: http://www.taiwanairpower.org/u2/
 
WHAT'S IN:
 
5 new RoCAF skins Blue/Black with proper decalset for Pasko/Wrench edition plane: http://combatace.com/files/file/11575-lockheed-u-2a-for-sf2/
[due the secret operations involved there are no many entries and good pictures, so I made my best]
 
A new tga loadout image
 
Some data.Ini tweakings:
- Export set on TRUE and edited to let RoCAF proper usage;
- Woking canopy (key=10), autoclosing at take off and opened when plane is parked (Thanks Mue for outstanding lod-viewer!)
- Great Viper63a pilot inside, grab here with Cia Black skin http://combatace.com/files/file/15894-black-skin-for-u-2a/
 
Old stock skins and old USAF black for SF1 by HI-HO Silver edited (upper canopy frame color) and converted to jpg. Decals randomized and a better danger one included.
 
INSTALL:
 
Inside U-2A aircraft folder delete original CiA and USAF skins, and U-2_loadout.bmp.
Install Viper63a pilot and sure his CIA Skin too.
Simply overwrite to mod content on your mod install
That's all.
 
CREDITS:
 
- Pasko for the old but gold model;
- Hi-Ho Silver for original SF-1 Usaf Black skin;
- Wrench for SF-2 porting;
- Mue for his umbeliable lod viewer: the tool of the century!
- Viper63a for his pilot (not included) and for make me reinstall this plane on my new PC!
- paulopanz for RoCAF skins, decals, edits and tweakings
 
NOTE:
 
I made some years ago these skins that now refreshed and upgraded for clashes over Formosa/Taiwan campaign
To use this plane in game as a target or in a campaign a proper high quote mission type should be needed.
I tried to ask Tk, when he answered us needing our money, to include but he denied because it couldn't be funny.
I don't think so and as we have several strategic recon plane like Yak-25 or SR-71 and RB-57R (never uploaded!) if someone could add this mission type to the game (i can't say how) he would be very welcome.
At the moment some good intercept missions for example for the MiG-19SV should be very useful to use this beauty.
 
That's all volks!

Black U-2 Add-on for the Lockheed U-2A Pack Released by Wrench
by Viper63a
 
This is an add-on skin so you will need the Lockheed U-2A Pack Released by Wrench installed first. You can download that "gem" here...
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/11575-lockheed-u-2a-for-sf2/
 
While I was creating my own Hangar and Loading screens, I noticed most of the U2s in the pix were black. So I changed one of the skins to black. I didn't just darken the skin, I recreated each panel to retain the detail and quality of the original. Optional Hangar and Loading screens are included.
 
Also available in this pack is an optional U2 (modified A12) Pilot in orange flight suit. To use this pilot, you will have to change the [Pilot] section of the "U-2_DATA.INI" file to use the "PilotModelName=U2PilotLate"...
 
This is a new skin, so there should be no conflicts...but I recommend that you back up your mod folder just in case.
 
* To install, simply unzip and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder you have installed Wrech's pack to and Overwrite (if needed).
 
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
 
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2...
 
For more info, read the "Original_sf2_u2_pak_readme.txt"...I mean read it, there is some good stuff about flying the U2 in the original readme.
 
Enjoy!

Sud Aviation/SNCASE SA.341 and SA.342 Gazelle Ver 1.0 for SF2
 
This is a third party addon of SA.341 and SA.342 Gazelle helicopter.
This is orignal model by BPAo moded by me.
The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters modified by me. I am not using airbrakes or flaps but flying fast and slow is stil possible, even hovering with little practice.
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series. And will never work in SF1.
 
Please read this as some info from here might be useful in game.

This is highly modified SA-341 Gazelle by BPAo (TMF). Lucky, thanks to Crusader I had access to original max file. So I could work a little on this great helo. At first I was planing only to rebuild middle east Gazelles to have some balance of power in Wings Over Israel game. But having oportunity to work on file brought me at this point. And I decided to go with French Gazelles first.
Generaly model is almost the same as old one. My work was to add some parts here and there (rwr,cable cutters, new athos, some internal parts, skids etc..). Rearanged animations and added new. Weapons/pylons are part of airframe. Ive added new rotor. Also I've rearanged UVW mapping. So basicaly skins are 70% new.
 
I was putting some hangar/loading screenies but finaly it covers only few models. Rest must be done in future.
 

This mod represents few versions of Gazelle.
Unarmed called 'Lisse'. Early 1973 version without APX-397 sight and late already equipped with 'Athos'
Armed with 20mm cannon called 'Canon' and Version armed with HOT missiles usually called HOT but here it is split into two models; one with Athos sight and second with Viviene.
Also you can find here Air to Air escort version -early called 'Celtic' and late called "Mistral"
Mistral/Celtic version is set as attack role and has similar aircraft dutties as attack version plus escort. Thing is that you may consider changing role only to recon/escort as it will not perform well agianst ground targets.
 
 
 
******************IMPORTANT******************
 
This addon works with my WeaponPACK (included in rar file). Most of pylons/launch rails are part of airframe. So in weapons folder you have to put only ini files. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course you can edit and use any other weapons availalbe.
 
Weapons included:
 
SA.341F2 'Canon'
NC621 20mm automatic canon. Two verson low and high RPM rate.
By default in loadout.ini it is low-rpm always. Better do not give hi-rpm to wingman.
 
SA.341M 'HOT' Sometimes called as SA.341F 'HOT' first model equipped with HOT missiles. Only 40 build because of underpowered engine. Somehow it was in use and passed form unit to unit until 90's - HOT-1,2,3 missiles.
 
SA.342L1 'Celtic'/'Mistral'
Mistral Air to air missiles.
 
SA.342M and M1
HOT-1,2,3 missiles.
 
All late versions have stations for flare launchers, suppresed exhaust and/or engine intake filter.
 
 
 
IMPORTANT THING ABOUT WEAPONSTATIONS.
 
F2 'Canon' and M/M1 version 90 and 93 have weaponstations calling for use Mistral ATAM.
THIS IS NOT for use on those helos. It is to have possibility to assign L1 Celtic/Mistral for wingman to have Air to air escort. So do not use it on F or M version as it will not apear there.
 
Cocpits.
All versions have dedicated cockpits. It is simplified and unified version of Gazelle cockpit.
In every pit you can switch from pilot to co-pilot/weapon operator seat.
On co pilot seat you have access to 1x "binocular" sight Athos/Viviane. By choosing radar on you will have "sniper" zoom. I dont know how many x zoom is that. It's zooming. And it is acurate somehow. With little practice you can even hit targets from 1-1.2 km.
aiming crosshair is 'what if' since I never found the look of real one
 
In HOT equipped version by selectiong HOT missile sight will lock on target as all HOT missiles are made as EOGR.
 
As Mistral and Celtic are escort versions ther is not much features in cockpit.
 

Animations and standard commands:
 
LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed.
 
ANIMATION 1 - right side door.
ANIMATION 2 - left side door.
ANIMATION 3 - rear doors.
 
Thereis also parking animation that works only when aircraft will be placed by game engine on airfiled as parked aircraft.
 
Flying.
As with all my previous helos flying is quite easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
Normaly throtle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 55% wait little and then increase to 100% and helo will take off nicely. 341 version got little less power in engine.
 

Skins.
There is just few skins but lot of use of it in few units. So it is more about decals assigned.
All serial numbers are based on available photos and ALAT documents and are historicaly correct.
I was trying to put all real units with real codes/numbers for specific year. Not always easy.
There is still some numbers missing.
 
Inside there is seperate folder Called "Operation_Dauget'
Inside you will find skins made for use with ODS mod for SF2.
It contains skins and decals for some units during French part of Operation Desert Storm. French codename for his operation was Dauget.
 
Only thing you have to do is coppy all files exept skin folders and use it in you ODS mod. Also specific loadouts for this period are provided. Due to hot climate/engine power, ALAT used only two HOT missiles. Same thing nearly ten years earlier during operation Manta in Tchad.

This is F16D B52 VIPER TEAM Vesion
i Made Just SKIN
Sorry For MY BAD ENGLISH

Again an old tutorial, just thought I'd get it uploaded as well.

This is a specific threat tutorial, given it's the most deadliest of all the SAM systems that is available via third-party downloads.

Complete standalone aircraft; F-4M_GA [Ground Attack].
 
Single seat Spey powered F-4M, A/G only , built in ECM & FLIR, 2x 30mm Aden cannons, more weapons capabilities than "normal" F-4M.......go kill something!!
 
Also, bonus item added at last minute.
 
Have fun.

This has been out "unofficially" for a few years, finally got off my butt and uploaded it. While it was made in February 2010 it still is a handy little guide on how to drop guided weapons that the game supports.

This F-4M from the Mirage Factory will replace all previous versions as so many changes have been made since the last release......please read the readme.
THIS ADDON MAKES USE OF THE THIRDWIRE F-4M COCKPITS SO YOU MUST HAVE A WORKING VERSION OF WINGS OVER EUROPE INSTALLED.
 
All markings except serial numbers/letters are painted on......if you don't like this style of skinning then don't download it.
Tested on a fully merged July 13 install.
Please be aware that this is a Mirage Factory product so no modifications to be uploaded without permission please.

This F-4K from the Mirage Factory will replace all previous versions as so many changes have been made since the last release......please read the readme.
 
BEFORE downloading this file you will need to have the ThirdWire F-4K DLC installed as this mod aircraft uses the TW cockpits, if not it just wont work.
 
All markings except serial numbers/letters are painted on......if you don't like this style of skinning then don't download it.
 
Tested on a fully merged July 13 install.

This pack is mostly intended to complement other works (campaigns) that YOU modder would like to design, involving the post-Cold War Russian Air Force as a flyable belligerent. Like my recent Medals Pack for Modern Ukraine, it allows campaign modders to explore both sides of local conflicts in the Black Sea / Sea of azov areas (using PFunk’s Black Sea 2.0a map). But it could also be used in modern what-if campaigns designed on many other maps bordering the Russian Federation (North Cape, Kamchatka, Korea/Manchuria...). And the recent involvement of President Putin's pilots in Syria (October 2015) gives new opportunities of campaigns where this pack could prove useful.
 
The complete list of your available decorations is displayed here. Two panels have actually been designed, one for the Russian Federation before 2010 and one thereafter. While my work focuses on Russia’s conspicuous second wind in the 2010s, it seemed important to reflect the changes that happened on that year: not only did the Russian Air Force’s aircraft begin to display a new design for its insignias (the three-coloured star, see below), but also the Russian system of awards underwent large reforms in September 2010, with design and/or purpose of several orders and medals completely modified.

[available only in the post-2010 pack]

[Ministry of Defense, available only in the post-2010 pack]



Medal For Military Valor (2 Classes, each one awarded only once in turn)



[Ministry of Defense, available only in the post-2010 pack]



Pilot's qualification wings (4 Classes, each one awarded only once in turn)

1 SAAF Squadron - Hurricane MKIA
3 SAAF Squadron - Hurricane MkIA (Trop)
 
These skins are for Raven's excellent Hurricane MkI and MkIa (Trop). Most of the hard work on these skins is down to him - I've just played around with the panel lines and added some extra decals.
 
SAAF squadrons in East Africa used a number of different aircraft over the campaign so I've decided to set these around January 1941 when:
- 3 SAAF Squadron was Hurricanes only and
- 1 SAAF Squadron was a mix of the original MkIs supplied early in the war, loaned MkIa(Trops) from 3 SAAF and Gladiators.
 
Anyone who would like the layered files to play with should drop me a line and I'll convert them to your format of choice - anything to encourage more people to get into skinning.
 
Regards

This mod provides quite a complete panel of the awards available to the Ukrainian military by our 2010s. It is mostly intended to complement other works (campaigns) that YOU modder would like to design, using PFunk’s Black Sea 2.0a map covering Crimea and the Sea of Azov, and the tragically rich events of Year 2014 there (and plausible prospects of even more tragic moments to come). Such hypothetical campaigns could explore various kinds of conflicts involving NATO forces, from a frantic all-out war, to local operations to recover Crimea or clear the Southern Donbass area, to a latent conflict limited to aerial skirmishes and incursions over some NATO-enforced no-fly zone, etc...

Beware, none of these awards did exist in 1994 when Ukraine was still a newborn nation, so this awards panel should not be suitable as is for your installation of the SF2NA: Black Sea Crisis campaign. Fortunately, I have also enclosed alternative citations with postponed dates of awarding, that makes this panel acceptable for campaigns set in 1994/1996.
 
October 2015 Update : adds air & ground counters, new medals (Order of Courage 1st & 2nd Classes, Distinction of the Ministry of Defense, pilot's qualification badges...), and completely reshuffles criteria for awarding for better realism and accordance with the Russian medals pack to come soon – with citations rewritten accordingly.

Algeria Air Force Mig-29C Fulcrum skin for SF2
 
The Air Force purchased a large number of MiG-29S from Belarus and Ukraine from 1999 to 2003. After the large military deal concluded with Russia during March 2006, Algeria ordered 34 MiG-29SMT.
In 2008 the MiG-29 SMT contract was cancelled and the planes delivered were returned to Russia and exchanged for 16 Su-30MKA.
 
Installation:
 
copy the folder Algeria where you have the plane installed and move the folder MIG-29C inside Decals to the folder decals of your MOD directory.

The Gloster Meteor was the first British jet fighter and the Allies' only operational jet aircraft during the Second World War. The Meteor's development was heavily reliant on its ground-breaking turbojet engines, pioneered by Sir Frank Whittle and his company, Power Jets Ltd. Development of the aircraft itself began in 1940, although work on the engines had been under way since 1936. The Meteor first flew in 1943 and commenced operations on 27 July 1944 with No. 616 Squadron RAF. Nicknamed the "Meatbox", the Meteor was not a sophisticated aircraft in its aerodynamics, but proved to be a successful combat fighter. This represents the two seat trainer version 7T.5 with a different tail ((( no weapons))) more for eye candy

SF2 Avro VZ-9 Aerocar Pak 10/15/2015
 
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
 
A "What If" aircraft for you enjoyment.
 
** Can be used in any install that has access to the A-4B & A-4E Skyhawks hence the need for either a Full 4 or Full 5 Merged Install, as both these cockpits are refrenced for the 2 aircraft. Also, serial number decals from the CF-104 and F-105D are used. You must have these aircraft to gain access to the various bits.**
 
Some reworking of Simon Porter's Avro Aerocar from 2005, brings it (pretty much!) up to SF2 standards. Be advised, however, there are still a few small issues; most of which stem from the fact the aircraft is one continious mesh, with no sub meshes. This is the main reason that most markings are painted on. See "Change Log" for details.
 
This pack contains 2 aircraft, and is based on the assumption (oh! that word!) the major bugs had been worked out, and it entered service with the RCAF and USAF for use as a battlefield scout and light attack aircraft.
 
Aerocar Mk.I (VZ-9A) with 2 skins (1959 start date):
 
RCAF
USAF
both in NM finish
 
Aerocar Mk.III (VZ-9C) with 4 skins (1965 start date):
 
RCAF
USAF (both early, in NM)
RCAF_L (late, overall dark green ala CF-104)
USAFCamo (USAF Camo SEA T.O. 1-1-4)
 
The 2 late skins the C use the SF2 "date switch" and will turn on in 1966 (USAFCamo) and 1973 (RCAF_L).
 
All stock items are used, from cockpits, pilots, weapons, sounds, decal and whatnots. The other add-on items (fake pilot, radar pod, pylons) are included. While skins remain in bmp format, damage textures are in DDS.
 
When in-game, you'll see on the Aircraft Selection Drop-down...
 
VZ-9A Aerocar (Mk.I)
and
VZ-9C Aerocar (Mk.III)
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Simon Porter's original readme is included for historical purposes.
 
Happy Landings
