    2. SEPECAT Jaguar FGR.3 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a simple mod of the excellent 'The Mirage Factory' Jaguar GR.1 to give a 'what if' Jaguar FGR.3 tactical fighter with markings for No.45 and No.58 squadrons of No.38 Group, RAF Strike Command. This revision now also includes a desert camo skin for No.112 squadron and uses a revised 3D model.

      BACKSTORY
      In 1974 a cancelled export order for 50 Jaguar Internationals left the SEPECAT consortium with a headache as many 'long lead' items had already been ordered and assembly was already underway on the first 12 airframes. At this time the RAF were keen to order more Jaguars to form a second wing of No.38 Group, RAF Strike Command and, with the delays in the Tornado production programme meaning a shortage of work at BAC's Warton factory,  BAC pushed the Labour government into accepting a deal for all 50 aircraft. Some consideration was given to standardising the aircraft to match the RAF's GR.1 force but the uprated Adour engines and different avionics saw the aircraft confusingly designated as the Jaguar FGR.3.
      Entering service in early 1977 the Jaguar FGR.3's served with No.45 and No.58 squadrons as part of No.38 Group and also with a reformed No.112 Squadron detached to RAF Near East Air Force. The FGR.3's uprated Adour engines and early introduction of overwing missile rails made them something of an elite element within the RAF's Jaguar force and they were deployed to many hot-spots around the world until their somewhat premature retirement in 2002.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the JaguarFGR3 folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the JaguarFGR3 folder into your Decals folder.
      3. Empty the contents of the WEAPONS folder into your Weapons folder
      4. Empty the contents of the PILOTS folder into your main Pilots folder.
      5. From the SOUNDS folder drag and drop the Adour sound file into your Sounds folder.
      That's it!

    3. Short Belfast C MK1 for SF2 Series by RussoUK                   8/20/2020
      -For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
      This package contains a new aircraft, the Short Belfast RAF airlifter.
      The Belfast was one of the largest turboprop aircraft ever built. Designed as a strategic freighter, its range and speed were however rather poor. The first Belfast was delivered to 53 Sqn. RAF in 1966. Ten served with the RAF; they were all withdrawn in 1976, with four continuing to operate with HeavyLift Cargo Airlines, Stanstead. HeavyLift ceased trading in Sept. 2002.
      Converted from a Freeware Virtavia\Alphasim model by me RussoUK
      Thanks to Kev aka The Wrench for assistance and the decals and ini work for this project. Some nice decs...Cheers Kev ole m8.

    4. This aircraft mod represents Dassault's what-if Mirage 4000M naval figthter and its dual seat M2 variant in the French Navy service.
      This package comes with 2 skin sets for each variant, 2 squadron specific for M (15 planes), and 2 sets for single squadron (6 planes) for M2.
      This model is meant for SF2 games only, SF1 variants will be uploaded at the SF1 section.
      Install is the regular dropping the contents in their respective places. In case you have the previous variants you can skip the overwrite prompt of weapons, effects and flight folder contents as those items are identical.
      Please note: The model can be quite heavy on FPS in large formations on weaker machines, so if required, either resize skin files or use lower lod(_nd) as lod1.
      The model uses the general french weapons, either as part of weapon packs or the Mirage 2000 family.
      Important: The M2 variant comes with 2 types of cockpit, the basic setup will use a simple pit that has only the pilots cabin instrumented. The other is a fully modeled front and rear compartment, in which you want to fly you should activate the proper line in the AC's.ini file.
      CockpitDataFile=Mirage4000M2_Cockpit.ini <---- basic setup
      ;CockpitDataFile=Mirage4000M2_Cockpit_full1.ini <------ front seat
      ;CockpitDataFile=Mirage4000M2_Cockpit_full2.ini <------ rear seat
      Be aware - the piloting seat position can not be changed during/in game, so chose wisely!
      Make sure to read the manual included with the package.

    6. TU_160 Blackjack for SF2 series project by UllyB

          The Tupolev Tu-160, NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union in the 1970s. It is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built and second only to the XB-70 Valkyrie in overall length.It is the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber now in use and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.
          Entering service in 1987, the Tu-160 was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union. As of 2016, the Russian Air Force's Long Range Aviation branch has at least 16 aircraft in service.The Tu-160 active fleet has been undergoing upgrades to electronics systems since the early 2000s. The Tu-160M modernization programme has begun with the first updated aircraft delivered in December 2014.

    7. SF2 P/F-51D/K Mustang Pack by FastCargo      8/7/2020
      -For SF2, Any and All-
      "Quarantine Approved - Essential Mods"
      This is the long delayed release of the P/F-51D/K Mustang by FastCargo. This aircraft was originally built for use in the "Korean Air War" mod, circa 2011. As we'd chosen to use the stock 3W Mustang, this one was shunted aside. A little while ago, one of our CombatAce members contacted me, and asked what happened to it. So, I went ahead and finished it off. With FC's permission, it's now being released for General Usage (tm).
      Originally built with (the problematic) DDS textures, the LOD has been hex edited to take jpgs. This aircraft is issued with 3 skins:
      USAF1 - generic NMF, for USAAF WW2 & post-war service from 1945-1947
      USAF2 - generic NMF, with post-1947 USAF markings
      12th FBS, 18th FBG as used during the Korean war.
      The SF2 'date switch' is used on all skins: the 12th FBS will activate in 1951.
      Almost all markings are decals, excepting where needed for painted-on squadron markings (12th FBS flashes and sharkmouth). 100 serial & 'buzz number' decals are provided for WW2 and post-WW2 use, and decal randomization is TRUE. All sounds, weapons, and the pilot figure are included. The canopy operates with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero).
      When in-game, on the aircraft selection drip-down panel, you'll see:
      F-51D/K Mustang (FC)
      This will differentiate THIS model from all the other Mustangs available, both 3rd Party and Stock.
      Even though the "P" wasn't changed to "F" until October, 1947, this is easier. The D/K Mustangs are identical, differing only in production location (D = Los Angeles, CA.  K = Dallas, TX) The "FC" is obviously for 'FastCargo', the Maker.
      As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. It's also suggest to give the "Note" section a read as well. Just for grins and giggles, obviously.
      Good Hunting!

    8. This aircraft mod represents a fictional evolution/upgrade of the Mikoyan-Gurevich's Ye-8 experimental fighter. There are several wing designs, systems and weapons that were under experiment during the 60-70-s though these are not actual replications of them  and the pits are pure fictional using equipment/instruments of that given time frame.
      This package comes with 1 or 2 skin set for each variant, with decals for Soviet aircraft.
      This model is meant for SF2 games only.
      Install is the regular dropping the contents in their respective places. In case you have the previous Ye-8/M pack the contents of the Effects, Decals, Guns and Pilot folders not need to be copied over.
      Please note: The model might gets heavy on FPS in large formations on weaker machines, so if required, either resize skin files or use lower lod "_nd" as lod1.
      New weapons are provided - some type specific - beside these the model uses the general Soviet weapons.
      Be aware - In the 1970's and later when AA-8 can be selected, manually double loadout of these can happen. 
      Make sure to read the manual included with the package.
