SF2 F-22A USAF Raptors Redux 2016
by Viper63a
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
The default install of this mod pack requires SF2NA merged in your install. If you don't have SF2NA in your install base, you have to install the files in the "Non_SF2NA_Patch" folder for the avionics to function properly. See installation section for more details.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
This is my iteration/update of the F-22A Raptors originally released by the "Raptor Team". The lion's share of the work was done by the "Raptor Team" - so I DO NOT take credit for ANY of their wonderful work. What I did was upgrade the original package with various other packages released over the years (All noted in the credits). Other than that, I've recreated and tweaked the skins to my liking, added some new squadrons, and created all new decals for the planes. Comes complete with new Hangar, Loading and Loadout files as well. The original package can be downloaded with the following and/or the links in the Credits sections...
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
What's included in this mod pack?
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
Included in this package are the 7th, 14th, 22nd, 27th, 36th, 43rd, 80th, 90th, 94th, 95th, 199th, 411th, 422nd, 433rd, 493rd, and 525th USAF F-22 Squadrons. All squadrons have the complete compliment of tail numbers. Some F-22s were re-deployed from Virginia and Hawaii to Europe (Germany/England) and Asia (Korea) as a deterrence (preparation) force for the current tension in the regions.
 
Additional Skins for this pack is available here...

-------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
! As always, I recommend that you back up your mod folder before you install any new mod...just in case.
 
* To install, simply copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite as required.
 
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
 
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2...
 
* If you have a merged SF2NA installed, then you are done...If not, you have one more step...
 
Open the "\Optional\Non_SF2NA_Patch" folder and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite as required.
 
* Lastly, please read the "F-22A SoundList Add.txt" to install the sound files.
 
Now you are done...
 
Enjoy!
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
NOTE: The NON-JHMCS Pilot is the default in this pack. If you want to use the JHMCS Pilot, please update the [Pilot] section of the "F-22A_DATA.ini" file. Remove the "//" from the "PilotModelName=F22A_JHMCS" line and add "//" to the "PilotModelName=F22A_Pilot" line. And Save...

Special Thanks to Ravenclaw_007 for the new pilots!
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
Optional:
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
The "Optional" Folders contains some extra stuff like...
 
* Alternate 1024x and 1920x Hanger and Loading screens.
* Other tid-bits like the F-22A Template and other F-22 Mods I didn't get round to testing.

Classic flanker cockpit for Marcfighters Su-27
 
After few years,hundred thousand hours hard works and some remod,here's the stuff.it designed for SF2 still you can also put
it in Gen1,but some instruments won't do their job.using in Gen1 is not recommend,well,you know,old engine has lower efficiency
when deal with those high poly model.
 
Model:
the whole thing has more than ten thousand polys,i try to build almost everything in 3d model,switch panel instruments handle etc....
 
Texture:
Spending about a dozen bitmap for those texture,most of the instruments and panel has their own skin.for compatibility all bitmap
been converted into BMP format,which can work in Gen 1&2.
 
Head up display:
the HUD is composed with traditional one which using the avionics.ini and 3d model with cockpit.ini,just like TMF mig-29's pit,
you will lose some part of the HUD when press the Cockit hidden key.

tested environment:
WOE Oct 2008

This is freeware mod made for SF2 series do not use for commercial use or unauthorized distribution.
 
hope you like this mod,and enjoy your flight []

I used ianh755's updated V4.0 version of Dave & Sundowners original Tornado GR1 & GR4 series and F3 cockpit.
All included models are optimized for
. 
1st, the most important thing.
If you want to enjoy low level flying, you must change missioncontrol.ini file !
 
BACKUP ORIGINAL VALUES !!!
 
Then use our missioncontrol, that you can find as archive in our pack.
 
=======================================================================================
Patch 2.3 b
--------------
We promise this is last patch for GR.1 ;-))
Now we are going for GR.4 .
We corrected:
 
1) some bugs in cockpit
2) HUD (it's reworked to look more like real Tornado, thx to Fanatic Modder documentation)
3) AI attacks for british planes
4) removed Lightening pod from BL755 loadout for german ECR
 
we added:
1) open canopy animation for cockpit view (thx ravenclaw for 3d lessons)
PRESS -> SHIFT + 3 to see animation.
2) missed oil pressure indicators
 

Patch 2.3 a
--------------
 
We corrected:
 
1) Problem with wing tip vortex
2) Rudder secondary input
3) Landing speed
4) SPILS system settings
5) Fuel quantity for Saudi GR.1
6) Engines altitude power tables.
7) missing outer wing weapon stations for GR.1 82
8) ECM for brit and saudi planes moved back to pods from fuselage.
 
we added:
1) New Sky Shadow 3d model
 
We also did some small lift for steering sensitivity.
 
=======================================================================================
Fanatic Modder's and Guuruu's Tornado GR.1 version 2.3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
So,
 
This is really serious upgrade .
Only Tornado GR.1, IDS and ECR are in this pack.
 
What is new ?
-------------------
 
We tried to get flight model as close to real Tornado as possible, so aerodynamic model
is new .
All planes have correct (reworked) engines, wing-sweep positions, max G for turning and
new cockpits (with lots of working lights).
We tested their acceleration, fuel consumption (it's still not perfect but better it was),
turning and climb rate.
We also added correct skin for Italian IDS 81 .
Weapons are no longer separate download, also missioncontrol.ini is inside of pack.
 
We decided to remove GR.4 from this files. She is far from finish and will be published
as separate files.
 
You will find 11 planes in this pack:
 
RAF:
-----
GR1 82 Early production
GR1 90 Better engines, more weapons than 82 model (in fact it is GR.1B with Sea Eagles)
I thought there is no sense to create same plane with only +Sea Eagles.
GR1 90 DESERT STORM Simply GR1 90 with desert camo (plane and weapons)
GR1A Recon version of GR1 90
 
Luftwaffe:
------------
GERMAN ECR HARM armed Tornado with Mk.105 engines
GERMAN IDS 79 similar to GR1 82
GERMAN Marineflieger IDS (with Kormorans and HARMs)
GERMAN IDS 06 which is continuation of Marine IDS after they were transferd to Luftwaffe.
 
Italians:
---------
ITALIAN ECR as german ECR but Italians didn't replace engines for Mk.105 and they use GPS JDAMS
ITALIAN IDS 81 very close to german IDS, can use JP233 insteed MW1
 
Saudi Arabia:
-----------------
SAUDI GR1 93 similar to british GR1 90
 
SKINS:
--------
Every plane has only 1 skin.
 
INSTALLATION:
--------------------
We higly recommend to remove/backup all earlier versions of OUR(!) GR.1 or ECR Tornadoes.
Then unpack this download and copy/paste (overwrite if needed) all files to your
MODS folder .

ALL BUGS ARE OUR .

AV-8B Harrier II. 
This is my humble rework of AV-8B.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) 
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
 
Around 2 years ago - January 2016 -  KillerBee approach me with the possibility of updating bobrock's harrier.  After some time, we had prepared the updated file ready for upload. Small changes here and there corrected few things. And great skins by Killerbee.
And then KillerBee disappeared from CA forum. Honestly, up to now, I have no contact with him. last - 4th May 2016. 
So harrier stayed on drive waiting for his comeback. But .... I couldn't resist...And iI started to mod this again. Since I had no KB skin templates I had to do all new skins...and more.
So now I am here...
It ended with a new cockpit and a whole set of new skins and decals on whole remodeled 'old' Harrier. - there is no single part of an original model that hasn't be touched/remodeled etc.
First of all...If you want to count rivets....Do not. 
Many things could be done other way....but I did it my way. So you have to bear with it.
All skins are in 4096x4096 format. So you can easily resize down. If you have problems running this in game. Resize skins to lower resolutions
Decals are based on my and KillerBee research. All serials are correct for the first version of Harrier II. Not always (but mostly) correct for a unit/year of service etc.
Big Thanks to Ravenclaw - He send me file with new ALQ-164 pod. Now it is part of the upload. 
You will find separate upload soon with Operation Desert Storm skins and decals - Only units that participated in the operation.
For some reason, I have added weapons that are present in Loadout.ini. 
Animations:
1= canopy open - close
4= refueling probe - beware of a speed limit

(Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association). Similiar variant is used by China and Vietnam.

Kesselbrut's
"Falklands '82" (Operation Corporate)
for Strike Fighters 2
--------------------------------------------------
 
This package contains an updated version of Kesselbrut's "Falklands '82" (Operation Corporate) mod package for Strike Fighters 2 (SF2). In addition to making the original mod compatible with SF2, this updated version also adds a number of other mods that were released in the years subsequent to Kesselbrut's original effort.
 
This update pack should be applied to SF2 or SF2V installations (or merged installs incorporating SF2 or SF2V) that are patched to the Dec2009 or later patch level, including Feb2010, Mar2010, May2010, Jun2010, Dec2010, Jan2011, May2011, Jun2011, Jul2011, or Aug2011. If you are running SF2 or SF2V at an earlier patch level and do NOT intend to update to one of the later patch levels mentioned above, you should NOT install this mod package.
 
Note that this is a COMPLETE mod package. There is no need to install the original "Falklands '82" mod for SFP1.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Before installing this mod package, please ensure the installation of Strike Fighters 2 that you intend to use is updated to at least the Dec2009 patch level (the Jun2010 patch level is recommended). The latest patches for Strike Fighters 2 can be downloaded from ThirdWire:
 
http://thirdwire.com/downloads.htm
 
Also, please be aware that the mod requires either the original Strike Fighters 2 (with the Desert terrain) or Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam (SF2V). If you will be using SF2V as a mod base, then you will have one additional step at the end of the installation process.
 
The main installation process consists of three main steps. Please read the following instructions carefully and follow them religiously. If you wind up with a non-working mod install, then you likely failed to follow the instructions properly.
 
NOTE: If you installed the verison of this mod released in Dec. 2010, we recommend that you NOT install this newer version over that older version. Instead, start from scratch, using a fresh/new Mod Folder.
 
STEP 1: PREPARE THE MOD FOLDER
 
This mod requires a separate mod folder. Please do not attempt to install this mod over or combine it with other mods such as NATO Fighter 4+ or the SF2V Expansion Pack.
 
- Open your SF2 Installation directory and make a copy of StrikeFighters2.exe or StrikeFighters2 Vietnam.exe, Rename the copy to StrikeFighters2_Falklands.exe (or whatever unique name you prefer).
 
- Run the newly copied and renamed .EXE file, then exit back out to the Windows desktop after navigating through a few menus. A custom Mod Folder for your Falklands'82 mod install will have been created in one of these locations:
 
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder]
Windows Vista: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder]
Windows 7: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder]
 
...where [YourModFolder] matches the name of the copied .EXE file that you created.
 
- Open your Mod Folder and delete the \Objects sub-directory (including everything in it).
 
Now you're ready to install the Falklands'82 mod proper.
 

STEP 2: INSTALL MAIN COMPONENTS TO MOD FOLDER
 
This is the easiest step.
 
- Unpack the SF2_Falklands82.7z archive package to a location on your hard drive.
 
- Move the contents of the \To_Mod_Folder directory to your Mod Folder (created in Step 1 above).
 
If you've moved everything correctly, you should have a new \Objects sub-directory in your Mod Folder, along with a few new other sub-directories.
 

STEP 3: EDIT OPTIONS.INI
 
This last step involves a bit of text editing, so please pay attention.
 
Open the Options.INI in your Mod Folder. Locate the "Instant Action" section and replace it with the following:
 
[instantAction]
AircraftType=HarrierFRS1
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.
 

STEP 4: Optional Step for SF2V Users
 
This last step is for those who are using Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam (SF2V) as mod base instead of the original Strike Fighters 2 (with the Desert terrain). If your SF2 installation does not include the original SF2 (with the Desert terrain) and you're using SF2V as a mod base, then you must swap out terrain .INIs so that your MALVINAS.INI points to the correct .CAT file.
 
- In your SF2 Mod Folder, open the \Terrains\Malvinas folder. Delete the file Malvinas.ini.
 
- In \Terrains\Malvinas\Alt you will find the file Malvinas_vietnamsea.INI. Copy it to the \Terrains\Malvinas folder (just above the \Alt sub-folder) and re-name it to Malvinas.ini (thus replacing the file you deleted just above).
 
THAT'S IT. Your "Falklands'82 for SF2" mod should now be ready to use. You may consider installing some of the "optional" items as described in the next section.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation of Optional Items
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Included in the \Optional folder are a number of optional items that you may consider installing (if your installation has the required base installation items).
 
- Canberra62: this is an alternate version of the Canberra B.Mk62, based on the 3rdWire Canberra B.6 model. In order to use this model your base installation must include SF2E Expansion Pack 2. TO INSTALL, simply drag the \Canberra62 folder to your SF2 Mod Folder and drop it in \Objects\Aircraft. The campaigns will automatically start using this newer model.
 
- Harrier3: this is an alternate version of the Harrier GR.3, based on the 3rdWire model included in SF2E. In order to use this model your base installation must include SF2E. TO INSTALL, simply drag the \Harrier3 folder to your SF2 Mod Folder and drop it in \Objects\Aircraft. The campaigns will automatically start using this newer model.
 
- IAI-Dagger: this is an alternate version of the IAI Dagger, based on the 3rdWire Nesher model included in SF2I. In order to use this model your base installation must include SF2I. TO INSTALL, simply drag the \IAI-Dagger folder to your SF2 Mod Folder and drop it in \Objects\Aircraft. The campaigns will automatically start using this newer model.
 
- Mirage IIIEA: this folder contains an alternate Mirage IIIEA cockpit based on the 3rdWire Mirage IIICJ cockpit from SF2I. It is a replacement for the stock cockpit of the Mirage IIIEA and requires SF2I to be part of the installation. TO INSTALL, simply drag the \MirageIIIEA folder to your SF2 Mod Folder and drop it in \Objects\Aircraft, allowing it to overwrite file as prompted.
 
- WaterNormal: this folder contains various alternate WaterNormal.BMP files, which can be used to change the texture or appearance of the water in the Malvinas terrain. To use any of these alternate .BMPs, simply drag the file you wish to use to your SF2 Mod Folder and drop it in the \Terrains\Malvinas folder, allowing it to overwrite the version already there. Note: the default/original .BMP used by this mod is in the \3rdwire sub-folder.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Game Play Notes (PLEASE READ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
There are some important things you should know about playing this updated version of the "Falklands '82" mod.
 
1. Single Missions vs Campaigns
 
Like the original "Falklands '82" for SFP1, the Malvinas terrain here is set up to use different years for Single Missions (i.e., "Create Mission") and the Campaigns.
 
Campaigns: both campaigns automatically start on May 1, 1982, and continue
into early June 1982.
 
Single Missions: when flying Single Missions, set the "Mission Date" to 1983. If
you set the date to 1982, you may get a CTD (crash to desktop)
when attempting to start the mission.
 
As Kesselbrut noted in his original ReadMe, game-generated single missions ("Create Mission") should be flown in 1983 because the only British air base on the islands was build in late May. If you have a mission date before May 29, 1982, the game will CTD becaue there is no air base for British aircraft to use. User-created missions (with a 1982 mission date) will work normally. British aircraft will still have to take off from a carrier before May 29, though, even in user-created missions for 1982.
 
2. Recommended "Gameplay Options"
 
Some of the island-based airfields are a bit rough. It is highly recommended that you change the "Landing" Game Play option to "Normal" or "Easy." If you use a "Hard" landing option setting, you may see aircraft exploding on the runway either because they start without landing gear deployed or because they lose their landing gear halfway down the runway. This is esp. true of Stanley Airfield.
 
You can fly all fixed wing aircraft on "Hard" or "Normal" Flight Model. Helicopters are best flown on "Normal" Flight Model.
 
3. Canberra Bomb Sight
 
In the Canberra, you can switch between Pilot and Bombadier with "Hook" key to use the bomb sight.
 
4. Carriers
 
All Carriers have zero speed. Were they allowed to sail normally, they would cruise wildly through the ship formations.
 
5. Infanty Speed
 
Note from Kesselbrut: "The infantry units have too much speed - when I use normal Footslogger speed there are no ground battles."
 

~~~~~~~~~~
Known Bugs
~~~~~~~~~~
 
There are a few bugs (none "showstoppers") that you should be aware of.
 
1. Stanley Airfield
 
The terrain on which this airfield resides is treacherous. The best we've been able to do is implement workarounds for this airfield's several problems.
 
First, as noted above, set your "Landing" Game Play option to "Normal" or "Easy."
 
Second, you will find that you will start missions off center on the runway. This is done to prevent you from losing your landing gear half-way down the runway. Do not veer across the center line when taking off (stay in your lane).
 
Third, even despite doing the above, you will notice that your aircraft is slow to accelerate and tends to bounce around a bit. You may even need to run off the end of the runway to get airborne.
 
With the exception of Skyhawks (whose spindly landing gear has real problems with this runway), all Argentine aircraft can be used from Stanley. Historically, though, the runway was off-limits to the fast jets -- e.g., A-4s and Mirages.
 
2. Non-paved Airfields
 
When taking off from non-paved airfields -- esp. the Port San Carlos FOB used by Harriers -- you will notice your landing gear sinking into the ground a bit. Also, some airfield runway textures may not appear. These are other quirks of the Malvinas terrain in SF2 that we have been unable to fix.
 
3. Rapier SAMs
 
The British Rapier SAMs will not fire in the Operation Corporate campaign due to a bug in SF2 that prevents the game from handling Blue-side static SAMs correctly.
 
4. Helicopters & AI Pilots
 
All helicopters in this mod have been made flyable. Set the "Flight Model in Game Play Options to "Normal, and use your thrust vectoring controls in conjunction with the standard SF2 flight controls to maneuver and fly the helos.
 
At the end of the day, though, Strike Fighters is NOT a helicopter sim. That means helo flight models are rough, unrealistic, and borderline unstable. It also means that AI helo pilots can occasionally run into difficulties, esp. when trying to land these things.
 
Until someone creates better helo flight models for SF2 (or TK updates the ThirdWire flight engine to accommodate helicopters), that's just the way it is. If you don't like the way the helos fly, then don't fly them.
 
5. Comrpnt's Missions
 
Comrpnt created an excellent set of historical missions for his "Falklands Mod & Mission Pack." While these work fine with the original "Falklands '82" mod for SFP1, we encountered significant problems when attempting to get them to work in SF2.
 
In particular, there appears to be a bug in SF2 that causes the game to refuse to start an aircraft on the ground at an offset east or west of the defined center of the airfield target area. This bug manifests itself only in user-created single missions for some reason. The consequence is that many aircraft in comrpnt's missions have problems taking off -- esp. from the Hermes or Stanley Airfield -- because they start on the ground in the wrong position relative to the runway (whether it be a carrier deck or a land-based runway).
 
As we could not resolve these problems or find an acceptable workaround for this bug, we have not included comrpnt's missions (though we have implemented other parts of his Falklands mod pack).

So the FM is finally corrected, the empty weights are now correct, as well as many minor other changes in order to make ir more realistic.
 
Don't be fooled, I did A LOT of research and a lot of BETA testing. When I had no definite data, I calculated, so some data are estimations.
 
For proving my point, I include a 4vs4 mission, Turkish F-16D Block 50+ (the heaviest Viper in service) against USAF aggressors.
 
Why v0.9? There are some planes missing. These are TW planes, as well as israeli -A models, egyptian, jordanian, UAE, thai, indonesian & singaporian planes.
 
EDIT:
 
As it turned out, these should be released in a vol.2
 
Requests:
 
I hope someone would make hi-res skins for all these nations mentioned above as well for the early -A models of the four european nations.
 
Also a proper lod for the taiwanese block 20.
 

Logfile changes
 
-------
 
v1.0
 
- Added the fabulous F-16A ADF AMI of dtmdragon, deleted the old F-16A AMI
 
- The mission now is on more even terms, both F-16s have now the same loadout.
 
-------
 
v2.0
 
- Added the following planes
 
F-16A_Blk10-EAF
F-16A_Blk10-IDF
F-16A_Netz_87
F-16B_Blk15-NDC
F-16B_Netz_87
 
- Now these planes are complete

F-16C_B52+_egy
F-16D_B30
F-16D_B30_agr
F-16D_B30_gk
F-16D_B52+_egy
 
The Egyptian block 40 is based on the Turkish one, the block 52+ on the Polish.
 
- Reworked DATA.INI for ALL planes. Mostly, but not only, reworked engine and weight data.
 
- Four new missions are added. F-16 vs F-16, these missions are indeed very exciting.
 
Known issues: The F-16D block 30 skins should be tweaked a bit to represent a 100% proper -D block 30 skin.
 
CREDITS:

F110 effects only - Fast Cargo < The new, proper F110 effects possibly again by Fast Cargo. If not, please verify.
 
The egyptian skin - mohand777
 
The F110 engine sound, I was not able to trace. Pls PM for any feedback to give proper credit.
 

A v3.0 will come up, but not anytime soon that will include the above mentioned "jordanian, UAE, thai, indonesian & singaporian planes", hopefully even more than that.

Request: MORE Hi-rez skins!!!!

A-37B USAF Pack
This is the current end point for two years worth of work. Centurion-1 began by creating a new model for the Super Tweet, several contributors later we are releasing it to you
 
Included are decals, new J85 sound, an updated squadronlist.ini, appropriate weapons, and 3 versions of the aircraft.
- A-37B: the original, as used by the USAF, Air National Guard, and several Latin American air arms. no refuel probe
- A-37B (76): adds refuel probe, as used by US ANG and USAF Reserve units the second half of the 1970s
- OA-37B: Final version as in US service, and as currently used by Latin American air arms. With refuel probe
- Photoshop templates for those that want to bring the other air forces into play
 
**********************************KNOWN ISSUES***********************************************************
-Cockpit is missing throttles. Unless Centruion1 returns this is unresolveable
-Lod is locked in, unless Centurion-1 returns.
-Modders: there is a bleed issue on the right side. any bands like the VNAF had need to be on skin, not tga. small decals like insignia work fine.
-This mod uses my master squadronlist.ini. IF installed into another install with other than stock squadronlist, do not install. It will mess up the other things on your install and my mod is adapted to force the decals.
 
NOTICE: this mod currently is AS IS and can only be modded by skinning and ini edits. It's not perfect, but its
in house and therefore free.
********************************************************************************************************************************
Installation: drop into mod folders. allow overwrites if it comes up. Delete DAT version, this replaces and upgrades player experience. Modders, put the templates where you wish to work on them
DON'T FORGET TO BACK UP BEFORE INSTALLING!
 
****************NOTE!!!!!! IMPORTANT NOTE *************************************************************
 
If you install this in a install that has eburgers SF2V Air & Ground Expansion Pack, DO NOT INSTALL THE PILOTDATA FOLDER!!!! This will overwrite the Squadronlist.ini in the pack and may break something. If you do not have the Air&Ground pack or NATO Fighters installed the new squadronlist ini will work fine and be a big improvement for units available.

Included in this package is a brand new Iran-Iraq/Western Asia Terrain with 4 campaigns.
 
Three of the campaigns compose the three periods of the Iran Iraq War-
 
1st- the initial invasion which spans from 1980 through 81- Lots of CAS and Intercept as well as strike missions.
 
2nd The War of the Cities and Tanker War from 1982-1987-Many interdiction anti-shipping and strike missions similar to Rolling Thunder
 
3rd The Battle For Al-Basrah all of 1988- Lots of CAS, anti-ship and strike missions
 
The 4th campaign is a semi-fictionalized Project Dark Gene/Ibex campaign from 1970-77 with USAF and IIAF units conducting recon missions against Soviet Installations and protecting Iranian borders from Iraqi Incursions. Because the terrain doesn't extend to the Soviet Border the campaign was turned 90 degrees with northern Iraq-Mosul/Tikrit acting as our stand in Soviet area.
 
Includes all the required aircraft and skins including Ravenclaw's Beautiful new IIAF/IRIAF F-4's and Iranian weapons and new F-4D and RF-4E skins to match from Yakarov79!
 
A separate install is not required and will work best if incorporated into a big everything thrown in Mod Folder.
 
This mod package is meant to be an addition to Operation Darius or Operation Desert Storm and NATO Fighters 5 from Eburger68. Ground Objects from Mr Burgers packages are required for example Iranian Destroyers.
 
Here is a link to Op Darius- http://combatace.com/topic/74627-operation-darius-final-part-1-of-4/
 
And Desert Storm- http://combatace.com/topic/84643-operation-desert-storm-for-sf2-redux-part-1-of-3/
 
Nato fighters 5- http://combatace.com/files/file/13332-nato-fighters-5-part-1-of-8/
 
The Aircraft included in this mod are readily available here at CA and the thank you/credits list is too large to name everyone! See the credits list for NATO Fighters 5 that should cover everyone!
 
A HUGE thanks to Blaze for Letting me tinker with his new Western Asia Terrain to make it Perfect for an Iran-Iraq War Campaign!
 
This Mod is a combination of many people's work here at CA thank you everyone who helps contribute to the Community!
 
I am by no means an expert but I have had a blast putting this together over the last few months if someone can add more realism to the campaigns PM me and let know! I hope everyone enjoys this!

This mod has been tested with Strike Fighters 2 Full 5 merged install; it should work with individual installations of SF2V and/or SF2NA. Cockpits (not included) required in order to make the A-6 flyable.
 
Note: more screenshots available here.
 
Version 1.51 can be installed directly over version 1.5.
 
I have always loved the A-6 Intruder, and I was disappointed to see that the A-6 was not flyable by default in the SF2 series. Having been inspired by MigBuster's A-6 CCIP mod, I extracted the A-6A cockpit from WoV and started an A-6A campaign in SF2V. One thing led to another, and now I present a package that should greatly enhance your Intruder experience, or at the very least provide more variety in campaigns.
 
What the Superpack Does
This package is designed to enhance the default 3W A-6 models and skins, as well as provide additional options for all A-6 variants available. Among the things added are:
High resolution (2048x2048) skins for both classic gull grey and tactical grey schemes
Additional variants of existing skins, including differently colored radomes and low visibility details
Enhanced aircraft profiles for the loadout screens.
Additional decals, to include Modexes on flaps and historically accurate BuNos on the tails.
More historically accurate (though not organizational specific) decal size and placement for different A-6 variants.
USN Squadrons VA-42, VA-128, and VAQ-134 (H/T Wrench and Dave)
USMC Squadrons VMA(AW)-332 and VMAT(AW)-202
Entries, logos, and markings for all USN and USMC EA-6B Prowler squadrons (including reserve squadrons)
Enhanced squadron logos for many squadrons, including VA-65, VA-75, VA-85, and VA-196 (H/T Wrench for VA-75).
Enhanced hangar screens and loadscreens for each A-6 variant
Upper fuselage markings and custom wing tanks for some squadrons
Added landing lights, pylon lights, and ventral anti-collision lights to models and skins (anti-collision lights optional on pre-TRAM variants).
Further LOD enhancement, to include proper relative placement of Pilot/BN, upgraded ejection seats, and the use of USN pilot LODs.
Enhancement of Avionics, Data, and Loadout files for each variant, with particular emphasis on RWR and weapons capability.
Enhancement of MigBuster's "DIANE" CCIP mod for the A-6, with improved bombsight/fall-line graphics and compatibility with March/April 2012 patches.
Enhancement of Vietnam and North Atlantic campaigns
Addition of USMC A-6 to appropriate Europe campaigns
Complete Naval Ops integration for the original SF2 campaigns (H/T malibu43)

In addition, this mod adds the A-6B and the A-6E_90, commonly known as the Systems/Weapons Integration Program (SWIP). SWIP Intruders in SF2 have a TEWS and are capable of carrying Guided EO missiles such as the AGM-65 Maverick and AGM-84E SLAM in addition to their standard loadout. The A-6E_90 is listed in-game as the A-6E Intruder (TRAM 90) to keep the acronyms to a minimum. The default A-6E TRAM was renamed A-6E Intruder (TRAM 79).
 
What the Superpack Doesn't Do
This mod enhances default aircraft. If you don't have the default A-6 LODs, or if you prefer to use a different set of A-6 LODs, then this mod is of limited value to you. Don't expect specific organizational insignia or logo placement. I tried to be historically accurate, but since these are skins designed to be compatible with all A-6 squadrons, organizationally specific markings cannot be supported. Likewise, squadron insignia change over time, and the limitations of using the default decals prevent this evolution. Variation between organizations is best represented by subtle differences between skins assigned to the same A-6 variant (e.g. the A-6E with the white/grey nose may look slightly different than the one with the tan nose). Finally, the Superpack is unfortunately not flyable without further modification. You will need to provide your own cockpit in order to enable player use of the A-6.
 
Installation
The Superpack is divided into three sections: the Primary Components, the Campaign Mods, and the Optional Mods. There is also a folder for widescreen users that replaces the existing 1024x768 aircraft and campaign screens with 1440x900 images.
 
Primary Components
There are three primary components of the Superpack , separated by which SF2 game is required for its use. In each folder is nested the standard SF2 mod folder architecture (e.g. Objects, Sounds, Campaigns). Copy the contents of these folders to your SF2 “Mod” folder (e.g. c:\users\<username>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighters2 <xxx>) in the order listed:
1. 1_Common Files for all users
This includes decals, weapons, and an updated SQUADRONLIST.INI. Copy the contents of this folder first.
 
2. 2_for SF2V users
This includes the A-6A and A-6B. Copy the contents of this folder if you have SF2 Vietnam installed, as it requires the 3W A-6A LOD.
 
3. 3_for SF2NA users
This includes the A-6E, A-6E_79, and A-6E_90. Copy the contents of this folder if you have SF2 North Atlantic installed, as it requires the 3W A-6E and A-6E_79 LODs. This now includes Wrench’s skinpack by default (was an optional component pre 1.5).
 
Campaign Mods
These files modify the existing campaigns other than Vietnam or North Atlantic (which were included in the primary components).
4. 4_SF2 Campaigns for Full Merged Install
This is a slightly modified version of malibu43’s SF2 campaigns that integrate naval operations into the Desert theater. In addition to adding the A-6, the campaigns add other USN/USAF aircraft of the period. There is also an additional 1979 campaign called Desert Blaze, which adds the later hardware from SF2E and SF2NA, as well as incorporates Wrench’s F-111B Fleet Defense Fighter for people who have it installed.
The original SF2 campaign updates require a full 5 merged install.
 
5. 5_SF2E Campaigns for SF2E, SF2V, and SF2NA
This adds the A-6 to the original SF2E campaigns dated at least 1963. The campaigns add two USMC A-6 squadrons to the NATO side, as well as the requisite number of Su-7s to the OPFOR.
You should have at least SF2V and SF2NA installed with SF2E before adding the SF2E campaigns.
 
For Widescreen Users
Copy these folders if you have a widescreen monitor. These folders should be copied after all desired optional campaigns have been copied over, as this will overwrite campaign graphics as well as aircraft hangars and loadscreens.
 
Optional A-6 Mods
These are tweaks to the A-6s themselves, and are here to personalize and enhance your gameplay. Copy the contents these folders to your SF2 “Mod” folder. Order is not important, but some of the mods directly conflict with others and will not work properly if “stacked.” Using conflicting mods requires manual datafile manipulation which is covered in Section 5 (Manually modifying Data INI files). Compatibility issues are noted in each section.
 
6. Restricted Modexes
This mod limits the player-selectable USN modexes (side numbers) to 500-524 (400-524 for experimental green skin, per historical record), and USMC modexes to 00-24. I did this by making adjustments to the TEXTURESET.INI file. This does not appear to affect the modexes selected by the Campaign generator.
This mod has no compatibility issues with the other existing optional mods.
 
7. Pre-TRAM Anti-Collision Light Removal
The original A-6A did not have rotating anti-collision lights, as the first production aircraft pre-dated the FAA mandate for anti-collision lights in controlled airspace. To comply, the Navy and Marine Corps added a tail light (already modeled in the LOD), and for the ventral light they attached a light to the starboard side of the nosegear door. However, the lights were easily removed and pre-TRAM A-6s often flew operationally without them. This mod allows you to remove these anti-collision lights.
This mod should not be used with the A-6AB Flare Dispensers mod or the Robo-BN mod without manually modifying the A-6A_Data.ini and A-6B_Data.ini files.
 
8. A-6AB Flare Dispensers
This mod puts flares on the A-6A and A-6B. Original specifications called for only chaff, but Vietnam late war doctrine often called for the dispenser loadout to be one flare for every two chaff packs (as was documented in Stephen Coont’s Flight of the Intruder). This mod is highly recommended with the SF2E campaigns, as the A-6A would have likely been fitted with flares for a theater with such a heavy CAS role and increased air threat.
This mod cannot be “stacked” with the Pre-TRAM Anti-Collision Light Removal mod or the Robo-BN mod, but requires manual modification of the other mods instead.
 
9. Robo-BN (not for RAZBAM cockpits)
As seen in the Vietnam Air & Ground War Expansion Pack by eburger68 and malibu43, this mod drops the BN in the right seat. This mod requires that the cockpit.ini have the following line in the [CockpitSeat001] section:
OpenCockpit=TRUE
Due to the additional interior cockpit detail of the RAZBAM series of A-6 cockpits, this mod is incompatible with the RAZBAM cockpits. This mod cannot be “stacked” with the Pre-TRAM Anti-Collision Light Removal mod or the A-6AB Flare Dispensers mod.
 
Updated Weapons Loadouts and Employment
You may notice that the A-6 as of version 1.2 plays quite differently from the A-6 in previous versions. This is due in large part to malibu43’s outstanding research and contributions. For version 1.2, we have updated the weapons capabilities of all A-6 variants, removing E/O capability from the A-6A but adding the AGM-12C visually guided missile. Likewise, we added the restrictions on interior hardpoints and adjusted the Loadout files to reflect this, adding the large bomb loads to exterior pylons (and for the record, we did this prior to the May 2012 patch!). We researched historical loads and added them to the loadout files, and found that we needed to tweak some datafiles to make them work. Malibu43 tweaked the Rockeye and SnakeEye datafiles to provide proper quantities to units, and created a custom MER to allow for three Mk83 bombs to be mounted two in front, one in rear per historical procedure.
 
Additional Information
I made every effort to accurately represent the subtle changes between A-6 variants commensurate with their periods of operation. Additionally, I used actual A-6 BuNos (serial numbers), with independent BuNo pools for the A-6A, A-6B, and A-6E (TRAM variants use the A-6E pool). I have made every effort to avoid using BuNos of aircraft involved in mishaps involving fatalities, or combat losses resulting in KIA/MIA/POW. However, if I missed one that you catch, please let me know so that I can fix this in the next release. Likewise, if you have recommendations for object or detail placement, I would love to hear them.
Finally, while I made adjustments to a number squadron logos and added four additional squadrons, I don't have the time to improve the entire collection. If there is a logo you would like, please post a flat image (like a decal) so that I can directly convert it. Likewise, if you improve the logos or create your own, please submit them so that I can include them in a future release. Full credit will be provided.
 
Credits
Malibu43 was a major contributor for version 1.2, adding campaigns, custom loadouts, and custom weapon data to allow for historical employment. His research and contributions were many, which is why he is co-credited in this release.
I also received help from Wrench, and likewise used some of his skins, A-6E_79 avionics files, and templates. A big thanks goes out to Wrench.
Likewise, Wrench's A-6E TRAM Skinpack and his TRAM VA-75 skin has been included for both TRAM variants, and has been converted for use with the A-6E. VA-42 and VA-128 logos have been converted for default use from these skins. Original readme files and screenshots can be found in the Extras folder.
 
Additional Credits:
Ventral and Pylon Lights were created by RussoUK2004.
VAQ-134 decals are by Dave from his VAQ-134 EA-6B.
The decal placement, data and loadout files from the SF2V Air & Ground Expansion Pack were starting points for my work on
 
the A-6B, so thanks goes out to Malibu43 & eburger68.
Weapons included in this Superpack have been copied from Spectre8750's A-10C, FastCargo's F-15 Superpack, SF2V Air & Gound Expansion Pack by Malibu43 & eburger68, and the F-14 Superpack from The Mirage Factory (TMF).
NAVYNM2 and MODUSN2 Pilot LODs taken from the TMF F-14 Superpack.
The Martin-Baker Mk5 ejection seat is the Mk4 ejection seat by TMF with updated textures.
TireTouch.wav was taken from FastCargo's F-15 Super Pack.
FansongTrack and FansongLock WAV files (A-6A/B/E RWR sounds) by Fubar512.
USN Wind, Stall, and engine overspeed sounds taken from the TMF F-14 Superpack.
Classic A-6 skin patterns are based on the default 3W A-6 skins by DanW.
Red Lightning campaign start graphic is taken from a review screenshot of “Wargame: European Escalation” in accordance with the FAIR USE Act.
Cockpit textures for the A-6 LODs were extracted from A-6 Intruder Walk Around by Lou Drendel, and from online screenshots of the RAZBAM A-6 cockpits for FSX in accordance with the FAIR USE Act.
A-6 Intruder Walk Around by Lou Drendel and A-6 Intruder In Action by Joe Michaels were both used extensively for research on proper markings and placement. Some of Lou Drendel’s outstanding artwork also found its way onto hangar screens and loadscreens.

IL-28 Beagle cockpit v1.0
by Stary
30.05.2013
This is cockpit for soviet Il-28 jet bomber.
Comes with build-in experimental, yet working and accurate bombsight. An evolution of idea I had back in 2008 or so...
The bombsight switches on automatically when you select air to ground ordnances (including guns).
Selecting caged mode switches you back to pilot's seat.
Minor changes to data.ini to make guns separate for the ammo counters to work etc.
Made and tested in Jul12 full-merged installation, so it's preferable setup. Anyway you'll need stock Il-28 Beagle for this (but can be used with other planes, as fits you taste)
Has NOT been tested in latest May13 install, you have been warned. Should work ok though
Credits:
TK,Thirdwire for keeping the PC series still alive
CombatAce community for being great bunch of people
Installation:
Unpack to your stock IL-28 folder, overwrite.
Legal info etc:
CA Freeware License apply. Feel free to tweak/repaint/re-release in other mods, just give me credits.
Not to be used in any sort of payware.
Have fun

SF2 E\F-111\A\D\E\F USAF Combat Lancers\Aardvarks\Ravens Redux 2016
by Viper63a, dtmdragon, Lel and Fanatic Modder!
-------------------------------------------------------------
This mod was intended as an update to FastCargo's Super Vark Package (See link below), but it can be a standalone mod if you just want the USAF F-111s included in this pack. If you want to install both packs, FastCargo's pack must be installed first as that is the older pack.
You can get FastCargo's pack here...

This mod includes the updated individual E/F-111A/D/E/F mod packs + other excellent contributions! I had some requests to put them all into one pack for it would be easier to download. So here they are. All the F-111s in this packs are also available for individual downloads in the following links...if you just want a certain model. The F-111D updates from dtmdragon, Lel and Fanatic Modder are only available in this mod pack.

Installation:
-------------------------------------------------------------
I recommend that you back up your mod folder (or just the Effects, \Objects\Aircraft\F-111* folders). I just make a copy the mod folder, try the mod, if I like it, I delete the backup. If I don't, I delete the new/updated mod folder and rename the old backup/copy back to the original names to reset to my original setup.
* To install, simply unzip and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder (the uncompressed "Effects and Objects" folders only) to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite.
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Europe\
Note: You should be able to install this mod into any SF2 series, it doesn't have to be StrikeFighter2 Europe.
* To remove, simply delete the active "Effects and Objects" folders and replace with the back up copies you made prior to the install.

Thank you all for your contributions!!

SF2 - EF-2000 Eurofighter Typhoon "BETA" Pack
 
This aircraft is tested on Fully Merged SF2E/I/NA/V on July 2013 patch.
 
The aircraft is to be use under the COMBATACE rules "ONLY"
 
DO NOT VIOLATE THE RULE OR PERFORM PIRACY!
 

First, I want to thank Bongodriever for his "superb" re-work of his EF-2000 for SF2.
Despite being a "Beta" it is an exceptional aircraft. Lets hope he will finish the work someday?
Also, without his work... we would of all have to wait for another talented individual to make this aircraft.
Thank you very much Craig.
 

I want to take this opportunity to dedicate this Aircraft to the following individuals:
 

"Spinners" - I want to thank you for helping me to get started in becoming a Modder at Combatace.
Even though time have past, I have not forgotten about your kindness, support, and patience in teaching me the basics.
 
I also want to thank... "Fastcargo" "Wrench" and "Sundowner" for their early support as well.
 
Of course, since the early days to the present. I had the pleasure of being helped by so many other great and talented
people... You know who you are... Thank you all for sharing your knowledge and many other things...
 

Now, since this is a BETA... Pretty much all deficiencies are well known. So do not make uncessary post or comments if you find an issue.
 
Please take the time to read the "knowledge base section for SF2" to install this aircraft, as well as, to answer many questions you might have?
 
Yes, the knowledge base section has wealth of information that answers most of your concerns or issues. Make the effort to learn it, DO NOT BE LAZY.
 
Also, make the effort to use the search function for your concerns or issues. You will be surprised that many of topic issues have already been discussed.
 
Lastly, the file is BIG... I did do my due diligence to make sure all is correct. But like anything in life, there is a chance that I might have miss something or made an error?
Feel free to make the post if you find something that is not correct?
 
 
 
This file contain all of the air wings and squadrons from all of the current EF-2000 user and soon to be user of the EF-2000.
 
Instead of listing them (which is very long), look at the files and you will know who they are...
 
With the exception of the RAF 43(F) Sqn and the 2(AC) Special markings, all of the squadrons are current or were in existence.
 
- 43(F) squadron was suppose to be the next Typhoon squadron this year, but that was changed when 2(AC) squadron was selected instead.
- 2(AC) special marking was something I just added.
 
Note #1: Until Ravenclaw finish the KEPD-350, the GAF and the Eda will not show a stand-off weapon under the loadout for "strike".
I use the KEPD_350 as a reminder for future changes on the loadout.
 
Note #2: ONly RAF is using the swing-Role for the EF-2000. Most other nations are using the EF-2000 for Air Defense only, but are starting to use the ground attach capability.
So, the loadout is not the most accurate for the various ground roles. You can change it to what ever you like.
 
Note #3: Pirate cam will appear when you use the AA mode. With targeting pod loaded, you have to select the AG mode to use the targeting pod cam.
 
 
 
All work are done by me with the exception of the credits given to the people below:
 
 
 
Bongodriver - Aircraft/Seat/.LODs and most of the .INIs (with tweaks by me)
ChrisBV - Pilots (I slightly modified the skin)
Florian/JAT - Pilot
Ravenclaw - Weapons (I modified one of the weapon to make the GBU-48B)
FastCargo - Fakepilot
Eagle114th - Wingtip vortex (I modified both the skakey/straight vortex effects, also can use both at the same time)
Spillone104 - Engine sounds
 

If I have forgotten anyone for their work, my apologies, and your work is being recognized and credited.
 
Thank you for reading.
 
I hope you will enjoy flying this aircraft.
 
 
 
Cheers!

F-16XL for SF2 – F-16E Blk 62 Fighting Falcon 2.1

In March 1981, the USAF announced the Enhanced Tactical Fighter (ETF) program to procure a replacement for the F-111. The program was later renamed the Dual-Role Fighter (DRF) competition. The concept envisioned an aircraft capable of launching deep air interdiction missions without requiring additional support by fighter escort or jamming. General Dynamics submitted the F-16XL, while McDonnell Douglas submitted the F-15E.
As we all know the F-15E was chosen... BUT what if the F-16XL had been chosen instead?
And so I give you the F-16E/F Block 62 Fighting Falcon.
The designation F-16E/F Block 60/62 would have been used had the XL been selected (The F-16E/F Desert Falcon as we know it today wasn't even on the drawing board in the late 80's).

Included in this mod are:
- F-16E (XL) Blk 62 Fighting Falcon
- F-16EM (XL) Blk 62 Fighting Falcon (CUPID mods)
- F-16EV (XL) Blk 62 Fighting Falcon (AN/APG-83 AESA radar upgrade)
- 8 different USAF squadrons.

To Install simply un pack and drop into your mods folder.

Notes:
- The weapon stations are quite complicated due to the set up on the real aircraft itself and the limitations in SF2 with the maximum amount of hard-points etc. As such it is best to use the default load out from the loadout.ini. That being said if you do want to change it at the loadout screen you need to follow these rules: If the default loadout uses rail launched weapons (Aim-9/120, AGM-65/88) under the inner wings, only change it for another rail launched weapon and vice-versa. This is because the weapon rails are loaded as an EP class weapon that doesn't show up at the loadout screen.
- The default 'Attack' loadout is designed for the mass anti-armour mission as that is the kind of CAS mission SF2 generates. However in the loadout.ini file under each 'attack' loadout entry is a CAS loadout option with LGB etc.
- There are a ton of different loadout options in the loadout.ini file so check them out with the single mission editor.
- Loadouts are based on the F-16C Blk 40/42 but with an F-15E Strike Eagle flavor e.g. AGM-130
- Shadows are deactivated as 'tractor beams' are an issue as it is an older .lod
2.1 Changes:
- Added missing 20mm M61A1 Vulcan (PGU-28) to 'Guns' folder. PGU-28 loads generally don't have tracers.
2.0 Changes:
- F-16EV (XL) Blk 62 Fighting Falcon added.
- Loadout.ini and weapon station fixes.
- Cockpits changed to Block 42 type with WAR hud as LANTIRN would have been fully integrated on the jet.
- Ferris test skin added for F-16E (XL) Blk 62 Fighting Falcon.
- Canopy RCS reducing tinting added as per F-16C/CM Block 40/42.
- Semi- conformal AIM-120 station position and angles corrected.
- Internal ECM changed to AN/ALQ-165 Airborne Self-Protection Jammer (ASPJ) as was planned for production aircraft.

 
Released under the CA fair use agreement.
