Third Wire for making this outstanding game
I would like to thank GKAB for working with alongside me on this project and not to forget the wonderful site of https://combatace.com and all the nice members and their dedicated support for this game.
 
https://combatace.com/files/file/18014-su-35s-flanker-e-vks/
 
thank you for downloading my work.

TAV-8B Harrier II. 
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) 
It is designed for and works only in the SF2 series.
 
So after a few years of lazzynes...
First of all...If you want to count rivets....Do not. 
Many things could be done another way....But I did it my way. So you have to bear with it.
There are still some small issues with the flight model and generally aircraft handling, but FM is not my sandbox.
All skins are in 3072x3072 format. If you have problems running this in-game. Resize skins to lower resolutions
Three sets of skins represent different periods of usage by VMAT-203
All serials are correct and historically accurate. 
For some reason, I have added weapons that are present in Loadout.ini.  But remember, this version was intended to be a training aircraft for the USMC. So, not much of the 'Mud mover' spirit. 
 
Animations:
1= canopy open - close
Activating the hook will transfer you from the front to the back seat - be aware that when you change seats, you can not change back...At least in this version..
If you want to jump like crazy from one seat to another, you have to edit the data.ini file yourself - I will not be part of this madness. If you are reading this short readme, you will know where to look and what to change. 
************************************************************************************
For proper sound work, you should add files from any of my previous AV-8B series.

This mod is kind of expansion and update to the SF2 community about PLAAF weapons,to comply with modern generation standards

Air to Air:
    PL-5B/E/E2 -- IRM (SRAAM,like from early AIM-9 to AIM-9L/M)

2. Notes:
You can see multiple folders ending with name of GX/XL in Weapons folder. They correspond to inert training models, similar to CATM in the US Air Force.To prevent the game system from spawning them in combat missions, I set them to "invisible". You need to call add thier names in Loadout.ini if you need them.
3. Usage:
Unzip and copy Objects and Effects folders into the game installation directory;
4.Credits:
(1) Sky Train: Original model texture (PL-10/PL-12/PL-15/KD-88 series/GB-6/AKF-98A/YJ-12/KJDC03A);
(2) BF2_Pilot: Original model texture (AKD-20);

========================================
This mod cannot be used for any commercial activities!

Beta version,it means not 100% complete, but almost there
Because I might disappear for a long time and then reappear suddenly.
===========================================================================================================
In case someone don’t know much about them, J-10 is a 4-Gen medium-weight, single-engine, multirole fighter, using a delta wing and canard design, from the mysterious country in the East.
The J-10C is the latest version of J-10 in service,equipped with AESA radar and multiple advanced sensors.
And J-10CE is export version of J-10C.
===========================================================================================================
1.What does this mod probably have?
(1)Obviously, it contains 2 advanced birds, J-10C and J-10CE.
It is worth noting that I have tried my best to imitate the paint scheme, numbers and common loadout of their units, so the J-10CE is not just a copy of the J-10C, but also slightly different in some details.
Since there is no suitable cockpit model resource, I take the one from Rafale mod.
Even though there is Freeware Licensing, I still added the creators to the Credits below.
===========================================================================================================
2.Usage:
Unzip and copy Sounds, Effects and Objects these 3 folder to where your game is installed;
===========================================================================================================
3.Note:
(1) No weapons included. Due to potential maintenance needs, I made a separate PLAAF weapon pack, you need to download it separately, I'm sorry if it causes you any inconvenience;
 
===========================================================================================================
4.Credits:
1.CG-BLUE (off-site user,I purchased most of J-10C resources from him);
2.Gux, Marcfighter, Heberth, ravenclaw_007, JAT(Cockpit from Rafale,sincerely thank them for their outstanding work);
3.Me (base on orignal resources, add a lot of detail objects,do a lots of animation and texture works);
4.T'Ilacis (off-site user,decals);
===========================================================================================================
5.Special Thanks:
1.JAT81500（For the JHMCS/pilot mod）

Chinese aircraft carrier Type 002 Shandong
1.What inclued:
(1)Type-002 CV-17 Shandong;
She is the country's first domestically built aircraft carrier and second in PLAN service after the completion and commissioning of Liaoning, from which she is derived.While sharing a superficial resemblance to Liaoning, the design details of Shandong are drastically changed and display a higher priority on aircraft operations.(Info from Wiki).
2.Note:
Nothing Special;
3.Usage:
Unzip and copy Objects folder to where your game is installed;
4.Credits:
(1)C5 Galaxy(offsite user): Original models and textures;
(2)ME: port models to game add a lot of detail objects,do a lots of animation and texture works;

1.What inclueded:
(1)M1A2 IVIS;
(2)M1A2 SEP;
(3)M1A2 SEPv2;
Uncle Sam Classic,no need more description；

2.Note:
Nothing special;
3.Usage:
Unzip and copy Objects folder to where your game is installed;
4.Credits:

(3)MH-60L (160th SOAR,JSOC);
(4)MH-60L DAP (160th SOAR,JSOC);

===========================================================================================================
2.Usage:
Unzip and copy Sounds,and Objects these 2 folder to where your game is installed;
===========================================================================================================
3.Note:
(1)I made USASOC Operators and AFSOC PJs, they were designed as "pilots" and therefore had no purpose other than being visual objects;
(2)The numbers and decals on their fuselages can basically be used to find the models IRL, which is interesting；
(3)In SF2, their hatch guns(run by AIs) cannot engage ground targets unless we set "dummy targets";
===========================================================================================================
4.Credits:
1.Vigilante (off-site team,for basic UH-60A resource);
2.guuruu(For his outstanding Helicopter FM);
