Strike Fighters 2 Series by Thirdwire

The first recon spitfire in use with RAF, RNoAF and RDAF in '50.
 
3 new skins included, each with historical decalset
 
The plane is from TMF & Wrench (see original readme for WW2 version)
 
what's new:
 
- cockpit now close automatically at take-off and it's fully animated from inside too (following cliff's hints for Spitfires IX);
- added pylon via fake pilot is plane specific and painted;
 

V.1.1: pilot and fake pilot (centerline pylon) fixed; new tank

That's all.

P.S.: My wishes are for one more outstanding Scandinavian Campaign set in Early '50 using all these new viking spits (25.8.2016 a "real" proper Griffon S-31/Spifire Mk. XIX is on my schedule too...) ...

This is my attempt to make EtAF skin, far from perfection, if someone needed for Ogaden campaign ... this is the opportunity.

This mod will get rid of the CanopyFrame mesh of the F-106_Pit.LOD so that you can have the equivalent of a proper Project Six Shooter canopy for your F-106.

SF2 WW2 F8F-1 Bearcat 7/22/2016
 
"A Somewhat What If aircraft for WW2 PTO '46"
 
***Note: Due to massive changes in the skins, decals, and inis, if you have created a WW2 Version of the Bearcat, you ARE advised to move, remove, rename or otherwise hide it from the Game Engine. THIS mod will cause conflicts, due to aforementioned changes, with many of the original parts.***
 
This full aircraft package includes mods to Geo's F8F Bearcat, (re)creating the original 600-odd F8F-1 versions as deployed from August, 1945, just as the War ended. I've made the assumption, for PTO '46 users, that the A-Bombs, for whatever reason, were not used and the aircraft entered full squadron service for Operations Olympic and Coronet.
See the 'Changes' section in the "Notes" below.
 
The package includes 2 skin & decal sets:
 
VF-19 (USS Langley, CVL-27) as seen in 8/45, enroute to the War Zone, as the war ended)
VF-3 (USS Coral Sea, if the CVB class carriers had entered the war in the later parts of 1945)
 
With the exception of the nation marking, which remain painted on, all other markings are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE. Many are by Geo from the original release. Other (modex) are by me. The ship code letters ARE correct for the late 45 thru late 46 time frame. The skins have been partly repained to remove the incorrect "G" system marking used on the orignal VF-19 skin. Skins remain in bmp format. As they carry no markings, this will allow other skinners the freedom to create other carrier air group codes, although new modex numbers will probably be required as well.
The hangar screen is an SF2 version of my 1st Gen "Box Art" one.
 
All weapons (drop tanks), sounds and a pilot figure are included. Other weapons used (rocket, bombs, etc) use those you should already have in the WW2 Weapons Pack.
 
The canopy opens with the standard keystroke, Shift/0 (zero). Wingfold is =NOT= active, as it never was when originally released in 2006. The aircraft is NOT exported, having only the single user, the US Navy.
The aircraft has been given a Service Start Date of of July, 1945. The data ini contains a new (if somewhat experimental FM, but MUCH closer to stated performances). It may require further fine tuning by experts; to that end I've included the USN BuAer's "Standard Performance" chart PDF within the main aircraft folder. This is for those remaining FM gurus to use, if they wish, to further refine the FM.
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder somwhere, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. PLEASE read it before installing, ok?
As always, read the "Notes" section for notes and other ramblings
 
Happy Landings!

USS Juneau Class Cruiser Ver 1.0
------------------------------------------------------
By YEYEYE & KJakker.
 
---------------
DESCRIPTION
---------------
This is the CL-119/CLAA-119 Juneau Class Light AA Cruiser modeled by YEYEYE. It includes both an early and a late version. The CL-119 represents the USS Juneau CL-119, USS Spokane CL-120, and USS Fresno CL-121 when equiped with the 40mm Bofors. The CLAA-119 represents the USS Juneau CLAA-119 after its November 1951 to February 1952 overhaul which replaced the 40mm mounts with 3inch/50caliber Mark 33 gun mounts.
 
Note: Three "Data.INI" files for the CL-119 Juneau class and two for the CLAA-119 Juneau class have been included. The AltGuns1 and AltGuns2_DATA.INI variants use alternate guns from the default file; these guns can be found in the Optional Files\Optional Guns folder.
 
Also in the Optional Files\Optional Data Files folder you will find subfolders titled Structural Factor x2, Structural Factor x3, and Structural Factor x4, and Default Data File Backup as I was not sure how strong players would want the ship to be. Each version has a Structural Factor that many times that of the Default variant.
 
---------------
SPECIAL NOTE
---------------
 
This package was assembled at the request of Do335.
 
---------------
INSTALLATION
---------------
