    1. AV-8B Harrier II Plus /  Radar
      This is my humble rework of old AV-8B.
      Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) A fake pilot is needed to run this mod. 
      It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
       
      Around 3 years ago - January 2016 -  KillerBee approach me with the possibility of updating bobrock's harrier,  and preparing  Night Attack version.  After some time, we had file ready for upload. Small changes here and there corrected a 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...My standard AV-8B Harrier is already available for download same as Night Attack model. Both models recently updated,
      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.  Generally, it is just a few skins.  If you have problems running this in game. Resize skins to lower resolutions
      Skins and decals are made to match most of the skins from Night Attack model pack. All VMA squadrons are equipped with a mix of both NA and radar model.
      Decals are based on my and KillerBee research. All serials are correct for the Night Attack version of Harrier II. Not always (but mostly) correct for a unit/year of service etc. But as always aircraft are rotating between units so its hard to track them down really.
      Big Thanks to Ravenclaw - He send me file with new ALQ-164 pod. Now it is part of the upload. 
      For some reason, I have added weapons that are present in Loadout.ini. 
      AIM-120 is specific for AV-8B via specific station code. To have proper year of apearance.
       
      Animations:
      1= canopy open - close
      4= refueling probe - beware of a speed limit
      3= night vision mode - not really helping but it is there - inside and outside animation.
      ************************************************************************************
      You can exlplore ini files for some additional features like in cockpit "FLIR" feed on HUD .
      AAQ-28 can be loaded only on station number 5 and centerline - in real - centerline come to use later and some units (VMAT) also moded wiring for use on other pylons. Nut in this mod only station 5 and 4 can carry AAQ-28.
      AIM-120 can be loaded only on stations 2 and 6.
      There are two stations for Intrepid Tiger II pod. In future.
      ECM also activates RWR on digital display indicator - even if ECM pod is not loaded.
      If you have my AV-8B Harrier already  - some files are same so simply overwrite. 
      for proper sound work you should add these lines into soundlist.ini

    4. Hi all!
      This is a set of skins for Torno's Fw-190A-4.
      = NO DECALS ARE PROVIDED IN THIS PACKAGE =
      This set includes 4 generic 3-tone grey skins:

       LuftCamo2 With Insignias
       LuftCamo3 Yellow Mrks No Insignias

      To install just drop in your mod folder (you should know how by now!) and add to your squadronlist.ini the following entries:
      Thanks to Torno for the 3-D model.

      Happy hunting!

    5. This aircraft mod represents Dassault's probable initial Mirage 4000A fighter and its trainer B variant in the French Air Force service. Since the company always created several variants of each type based on costumer requirement and evolution of technology, other national oriented types and variants will be uploaded as separate packages.
      This package comes with 3 skin sets for each variant, 3 squadron specific for A (18 planes), and 3 squadron sets for B (8 planes) and special Tiger Meet skin for a single AC.
      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 prototype variant you can skip the overwrite prompt of weapons as those 4 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 lods(_nd,001,002,003) as lod1.
      The model uses the general french weapons, either as part of weapon packs or the Mirage 2000 family.
      Important: The B 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=Mirage4000B_Cockpit.ini <---- basic setup
      ;CockpitDataFile=Mirage4000B_Cockpit_full1.ini <------ front seat
      ;CockpitDataFile=Mirage4000B_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.
