Hogs in Reserve: A-10A in Air Force Reserve Service, 1990s
This is a skin and decal mod to bring the A-10s of the US Air Force Reserves throughout the 1990s to SF2
It features skins for both the European 1 green skins as well as the Grey Compass Ghost scheme that the Hogs settled into as the 90s progressed.
Although considered a part time frorce, the AFRES hogs were quite busy throughout the 1990s supporting operations in the Balkans and over Northern Iraq. This mod has pinpointed the aircraft of each unit as accurately as possible within each unit
    
Note: the 706th Fighter Squadron is covered from 1996 on, not the aircraft the squadron used in Desert Storm. most of those went to the boneyard shortly after coming home as the squadron converted to F-16s for a few years.

        Included
Skins and decals for 4 AFRES A-10 squadrons: the 45th FS "IN", 47th FS "BD", 303rd FS "KC", and 706th FS "NO" post 1996.
        Required

Mirage F1EE_ALR
This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.
In June 1975, with tension growing with Morocco, Spain decided to strengthen its Air Force and bought 15 Mirage F1C that were allocated to Albacete AB. In mid-1976 there was still some tension with Morocco and Algerian and Libyan MiG-25 flights on the Mediterranean, which would lead the Spanish Air Force to purchase ten more Mirage F1C and two years later order 48 Mirage F1C and F1E.
F1EE_ALR specifics:
Same as EE_Late except:
- RWR AN/ALR-300 installed instead of RWR BF - 6 aircraft were modified
Covered units :
Ala 14.
This addon is and will in all cases remain freeware.
Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms.
Enjoy
The Mirage F-1 Team.

3rd Wing Moves North
The 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing was slated to leave Clark AB in the Phillipines in 1992. However the eruption of Mt Pinatubo in June 1991 caused a much more rapid departure than planned from the Philippines. The 3rd Wing set up shop at Elmendorf AFB, Alaska in December 1991, taking over from the 21st Wing that had been the host unit.
By January 1994, the 3 Wing had the 19th and 54th Fighter Squadrons operating F-15C and D Eagles, the 90th Fighter Squadron operating the F-15E Strike Eagle, The 517th Airlift Squadron operating the C-130H Hercules and the 962nd Airborne Air Control Squadron operating the E-3A Sentry
This mod sets up everything you need to send the 3rd Wing or any of its elements into battle in the mid 1990s. While primarily focused on the Pacific theater of operations, the 90th Fighter Squadron did participate in Operation Deny Flight in Europe from October 1995 until start of 1996.

Hello! Thank you for downloading my mod!

This mod is based of the Ogaden War, an obscure conflict not really known or told about today. So I decided to make a campaign based off of it! Be warned, this mod probably won't be super historically accurate, please bear with me as this is my first ever mod and there will most likely be bugs. Thank you!
 
It is July 13th, 1977, and Somalia has invaded the Ogaden, an area in the Horn of Africa claimed to be held by both Somalia and Ethiopia. Claiming that the Ogaden belonged to "Greater Somalia", combined with both deteriorated relations with the USSR and superpower intervention in Africa, Somali Dictator Siad Barre orders for troops to enter and recapture Somali inhabited territories in the Horn of Africa, with the Ogaden being first. The Ethiopians desperately fight back but being completely caught off guard and with their military being weak thanks to the Derg's overthrowing the Emperor of Ethiopia three years earlier, the Somalis captured up to 90% of the region, and their Air Force prowls the skies above the fight on the ground. Despite the odds, with the United States aircraft and the Soviet Union's support and supplies, it is up to the Ethiopian Air Force's Tigers, Frescos, Canberras, transports, sorties around the clock, and the Ethiopian Ground Forces to recapture the region and push the Somalis out of the region. Scramble immediately, and take back the skies of the Ogaden!

Here is a (decent) repaint of the supplied Kesselbrut's Mosquito cockpit for use in Veltro2K's Ju88's. Again, I made it for my personal use but maybe the five of us (me, Kev and other kindred spirits) who still use SF2 to sim WW2 can get some use out of it. 
Made for SF2, it's the needed bmp's, one tga, and the cockpit.ini file ONLY. I wasn't happy with the way some of the gauges were presenting, so I've made some changes.  
The cockpit textures are 2048x2048, in the old days we didn't have the horsepower to run such large cockpit textures, but those days are long gone. Resize them if you do experience any problems. 
Not 100% accurate, there's always compromises that have to be made, but it is what it is, I have done my best.
INSTALLATION:
Copy and paste the bmp's and tga from this file into your V2K Ju88 cockpit folder. Place the cockpit.ini in the main aircraft folder. Back up the corresponding original files in case you want to revert.
That's it. 
Note that although this is made for the Ju88C, it will work in any of Veltro's Ju88's, and I guess you could use it any any German twin engine bomber without a decent cockpit. 
CREDITS:
 - Veltro2K for the Ju-88 and for the HUGE range of WW2 and later aircraft you have done for us. Much appreciated!
 - Kesselbrut for another one of his great cockpits. I hope you're doing well wherever you are Daniel.  
 - Veltro advises the cockpit was modded by Capun for use in German aircraft, thanks to Capun for that work!
 - CombatAce for being a bastion of Strike Fighters for these many. many years.
 - TK for creating SFP1 and SF2 for all of us to enjoy.

Here is a (strangely done) repaint of Geo's He-162 cockpit for use in his He-162 Volksjager. As usual, I made it for my personal use but maybe the five of us (me, Kev and other kindred spirits) who still use SF2 to sim WW2 can get some use out of it. 
Made for SF2, it's the needed bmp's AND TGA's ONLY. This was a strange one in that most of the panel gauges are TGA's. Had to learn how to do them again :(
The cockpit textures are 2048x2048, in the old days we didn't have the horsepower to run such large cockpit textures, but those days are long gone. Resize them if you do experience any problems. 
Not 100% accurate, there's always compromises that have to be made, but it is what it is, I have done my best.
INSTALLATION:
Copy and paste the bmp's and tga's from this file into your He162 cockpit folder. Back up the corresponding original files in case you want to revert.
That's it. 
CREDITS:
 - Geo for the He-162, all in one mod. I hope you're doing well wherever you are George.
 - CombatAce for being a bastion of Strike Fighters for these many. many years.
 - TK for creating SFP1 and SF2 for all of us to enjoy.
 
 

Here is a (so-so) repaint of Kesselbrut's Me-262 cockpit for use in Veltro2K's Me-262's. Again, I made it for my personal use but maybe the five of us (me, Kev and other kindred spirits) who still use SF2 to sim WW2 can get some use out of it. 
Made for SF2, it's the needed bmp's ONLY.

I HIGHLY recommend you get any of Julio Junqueira's excellent 109 pits and grab the optional pilot legs and drop them in your 190. They work fine and I'm sure you have them already. You should. 
INSTALLATION:
Copy and paste the bmp's from this file into your V2K 262 cockpit folder. Back up the corresponding original files in case you want to revert.
That's it. 
CREDITS:
 - Veltro2K for the Me-262 and for the HUGE range of WW2 and later aircraft you have done for us. Much appreciated!
 - Kesselbrut for another one of his great cockpits. I hope you're doing well wherever you are Daniel.  
 - CombatAce for being a bastion of Strike Fighters for these many. many     years.
 - TK for creating SFP1 and SF2 for all of us to enjoy.

Here is a (decidedly average) repaint of Torno's FW-190 cockpit for use in his excellent range of Fw-190's. I made it for my personal use but maybe the five of us (me, Kev and other kindred spirits) who still use SF2 to sim WW2 can get some use out of it. 
Made for SF2, it's the needed jpg's ONLY. 
Which 190 is it? Well, I started with the A as a basis but you can use it in any of Torno's beautiful Wurgers. The one here is the one featuring "moar gunz" - of course.
Not 100% accurate, there's always compromises that have to be made, but it is what it is. 
INSTALLATION:
Copy and paste the jpg's from this file into your 190 (of whatever flavor) cockpit folder. Back up the corresponding original files in case you want to revert.
That's it. 
CREDITS:
 - TORNO for the great range of Fw-190's. Excellent work amigo. Torno's work is for CombatAce ONLY, these are NOT to appear elsewhere.
 - CombatAce for being a bastion of Strike Fighters for these many. many years.
 - TK for creating SFP1 and SF2 for all of us to enjoy.
