F-16 Netz “Desert Viper”
------------------------
 
Requires: SF2 Israel!!
----------------------
 
 
A fictional 2 tone Desert skin for the Third Wire F-16.
 
I’ve based it on the original Israeli camouflage scheme & have unofficially assigned to
Israel’s 116 (Flying Wing Squadron)
 
However it could make a great mercenary skin or as a fun addition to those “Special Ops” for an air force & squadron of your own.
 
This is my first attempt at skinning the Netz & decided to keep it simple.
When time allows I’ll try something a little more authentic & perhaps a little different next time.
Notably, it may not be as good as those masterpieces that you are used to but
I hope you have fun with it anyway.
 
Enjoy :- )

Hawkeye skin pack for SF2:North Atlantic by Dave and JSF Aggie.
 
Just add to your C:\Users\XXXXXXXXX\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic folder and go fly.
 
VAW-123/124 by Dave, VAW-121 by JSF Aggie.
 
Enjoy
Dave and Brian

Tested with Strike Fighters 2 series; should work with SF1 series via manual install.
 
This music theme was originally designed for Falcon BMS 4.32, but arguably better fits SF2 North Atlantic from a thematic standpoint.
 
This mod takes Harold Faltermeyer's music from the 1986 Paramount film "Top Gun" and applies it thematically to the different UI screens. The music was ripped from the film and processed by CamelBlue, but in some cases the removal of dialog resulted in muted music or inconsistent volume. In these cases, I mixed in the audio track of the F-14s shooting down the Libyan MiG-23's over the Gulf of Sidra. This mix worked better than I had hoped possible.
 
Now all we need is for somebody to mod the MiG-28...or perhaps an F-5 skin ;).
 
 
 
Easy Installation (no other existing menu mod)
Copy the included Menu folder into your SF2 mods folder
 
 
Manual Installation (existing menu mod)
In most cases, I used the same name of the existing theme, so you can just insert the WAV files into your [sF2 Mods]\Menu folder. There are some exceptions noted below:
 
Replace the BackgroundMusic line with "BackgroundMusic=CreditsScreen.wav" (sans quotes) in the following files:

AWARDSCREEN.INI MEDALLISTSCREEN.INI VIEWMEDALSCREEN.INI
 
Replace the BackgroundMusic line with "BackgroundMusic=Planning.wav" (sans quotes) in the following files:

HANGARSCREEN.INI LOADOUTSCREEN.INI PLANNINGMAPSCREEN.INI ROSTERSCREEN.INI
 
Replace the BackgroundMusic line with "BackgroundMusic=CampaignScreen.wav" (sans quotes) in the following files:

SINGLEMISSIONSCREEN.INI
 
 
[4. Optional Enhancements]
I have another mod that reduces the size of the object icons on the planning map and makes them semi-transparent in order to see the map beneath the units. Since this mod also makes changes to the PLANNINGMAPSCREEN.INI, I have included this mod as an optional installation. If you copy these files to your [sF2 Mods]\Menu folder, then you will have both the Top Gun Music Theme and the new map icons working together.
 
 
[5. Future Compatibility Issues]
In the effort to minimize the size of this mod, I used the some of the same files across multiple menus. This means that in order to ensure compatibility with future official SF2 patches, you may need to extract the ini files listed in the previous section from the MenuData.CAT file and compare the files to ensure compatibility. You can quickly find my changes in the sections bracketed by //.
 
Likewise, you can always copy and rename the WAV files to match the default WAV filenames in order to ensure compatibility for future patches.
 
 
[6. Additional Information]
The debrief sound files are not listed in an INI from the Menu folder, but rather are listed by nation in the NATIONS.INI file. This means that even if you decide to remove this mod, you could If you wish rename the existing debrief music files and allow them to be played for the U.S. Navy. The updated section in your NATIONS.INI should read:

[Nation003] <...> DebriefSuccessMusic=[RenamedDebriefSuccess].wav DebriefFailMusic=[RenamedDebriefFail].wav DebriefKilledMusic=[RenamedDebriefKilled].wav <...>

Destroyed Models Pak for SF2 WW2 Installs
 
This package is for use in creating the 'Destroyed Crashed & Burning Wreck' ™ for add-on aircraft in SF2 based WW2 installs.
 
These bits have been culled from the various terrain mods as these contained static parked aircraft with their associated destroyed lods. THESE are those destroyed lods!!, with repainted skins to make them look a bit more burned up/toasted. This will allow you to add them and have the burning wrecks on the ground ala the later model jets and so forth as seen in SF2 installs (and FE2 as well).
 
As always, fully detailed (and illustrated!!) install instructions are included. As well as a highly detailed "Notes" section, elaborating on the procedure, and giving alternates as you =WILL= probably be using several stock destroyed models as well in the data ini edits, as some of the larger aircraft will require reuse of the stock wrecks.
 
=PLEASE= read this document throughly before installing -- that will help you in making correct choices on what to use.
 
This pak is for free usage; any and all are welcome to it. Let's enhance our SF2 WW2 Experience!!

2. What's inside:
 
This is intended to be an overall enhancement to the SF2 Vietnam experience without having to hunt for, download, and install some of the "must have" mods for the game.
 
-Two new campaigns that are centered around fighting in South Vietnam
-Green Hell 2
-Brian32's Tiles
-Widesky Environment Mod
-Flyable A-1H/J, A-6A, and F-111A w/ weapons and loadouts where neccessary
-F-105G, Flyable B-57B, B-57G
 
 
 
3. Installation:
 
Install and Patch Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam. Run the game once.
 
Simply drop the contents of the "Add to SF2V MOD Folder" into your Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam mod folder (NOT the folder that the game installs to). For me, on XP, the folder is: C:\Documents and Settings\Gregg\My Documents\ThirdWire
 
Download the FOTI A-6A from here:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5014
 
Copy the "cockpit" folder from the .rar file and drop it into the A-6A aircraft folder in your SF2Vietnam mod directory.
 
 
4.Known Issues
 
Default CAS loadout for A-1's should include CBU-25's on the outer wing stations, but the AI doesn't know how to use that weapon. So, load them onto your own aircraft, but don't load them on AI!
 
5.Legal stuff:
 
I have signed onto the freeware "list" on combatace.com. As such, the work here can be included or used in other mods as along as they aren't payware and credit is given to the creator(s).
 
 
Thanks,
 
Malibu43

-Corrected sound for the 57mm explosions
-Removed F-100's from Rolling Thunder Campaign
-Added F-105G
-Added B-57B and B-57G
-Some other small misc fixes

a-11 Fang by Bunyap, For SF2
 
= For SF2, Any and All =
 
Note: although NOT strictly a WW2 aircraft, but immeadite Post-War. This'll give the Mustangs, Spitfires and such something to else to tangle with in the late 1940s.
 
Some modifications, tweeks, and various fiddles with Bunyap's Lavochkin La-11 "Fang", bring it into SF2. This is the complete package, with cockpit, skins/decals, and engine sound.
 
Skins included are:
 
Soviet (silver-gray)
PLAAF (sliver-gray)
NK_CVAF (North Korean, Chinese "Volenteer" Air Force)
NKPAF (NK silver-gray)
NKPAV_Green (dark green camo)
 
The decals inis have been rewritten to use as many stock decals as possible. The NK Green, however, has new decals made for the KAW mod with semi-historical numbering.
 
New hangar and loading screens are included, now in jpg format. The hangar screen is an SF2-style rebuild of my original 'box art' version.
 
It should be noted, that due to the age of model (ie: it's from 2005!!) there are many issues that are unfixable. One of the major ones, is the shadows are turned OFF, as there are huge 'tractor beam lines' extending from the aircraft. You just have to live with them.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
 
Happy Hunting!

TRUE VPAF
 
Decals, Skins and Userlists
 
A mod to enhance our SF-2 immersion, to use mostly in our custom campaigns.
 
In fact I was bored of all that Charlies whith all the same serial numbers for every plane model …
 
So I took the real numbers and made the correct serial for EVERY known VPAF plane.
 
You’ll find the Ace’s name who flown each aircraft, if known, beside his number, too.
 
I worked on the userlists to alllow the program to use in VietnamSea theatre a VPAF and not a Soviet Skin.
 
These are models You have:
 
Mig-17 20 planes
 
Mig-17F 178 planes (some others not confirmed are omitted)
 
Mig-17PF 10 planes and new skin.
 
Mig-19S/J-6 60 planes (correct userlist for Mig-19S)
 
Mig-21F 30 planes and a new skin little reworked.
 
Mig-21PFV (or better PFL) 30 planes
 
Mig-21PFM 111 planes
 
Mig-21MF 60 planes
 
Mig-21bis [bonus plane (not for Vietnam war)] with skin, correct userlist and 42 known plane numbers.
 
Mig-15 UTI (only one number is known, the other are presumed) Skin for Pasko/Shusjake model [http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=8547] and new userlist file included.
 
Mig-15 bis (only 7 number are known, the plane has’nt a great usage) Skin for Pasko/Shusjake model and new userlist file included.
 
Il-28 There was a squadron of 8/10 planes that took not active partecipation in Vietnam war, but now you have the choice to use. (Only tree numbers are known and only one is confirmed, the others are “presumed” by me). Silver and Green skin are included togheter with a correct userlist.
 
To install: let the new folders in the pack override previous ones. Stock install is not modded except for Mig-17F and Mig-21PFM that use only new number sets that are over 100!
