Fictional mod of Dels' superb YF-23A to make it look like a fictional fighter plane for the swedish air force.
BACKGROUND
The end of the "Advanced Tactical Fighter" program also marked the end to the YF-23 of the consortium composed of Northrop, Grumman and MDD. With the election of the YF-22, the YF-23 became obsolete and the existing frames got mothballed.
The swedish minister of Defence, Anders Björck, who recognized the potential of the plane, followed the ATF program in the way it was possible to him. He, after gaining knowledge about the fate of the Black Widows, placed a demand inside the swedish parliament, to get into touch with the Pentagon in order to explore the possibilities of acquisition. With the decease of the Soviet Union nevertheless, the swedish parliament wasn't interested in such expensive and politically explosive purchases.
It was eight years later, after the release of the Visby-Corvettes, which are considered to have stealth properties, when Björn von Sydow (then minister of defence in Sweden) brought the idea of having stealth fighters back into speech. He also remembered the petition being made by former MoD Björck years ago. Rising tensions with Russia, violating the swedish airspace now and then, let the politicians rethink their position towards the construction or acquisition of stealth planes. Since the US would never export the Raptor, efforts were made to obtain the Black Widow. A formal petition note from the swedish government was handed to the US government. Severe concerns about the transition of technology were pronounced and a team of experts and engineers from the Skunkworks was consulted. Though not being a potential enemy and always having been neutral, this kind of technology and the posibility of getting the wrong hands onto it, made the crucial organs in the US administration doubt about if it would be the right decision to sell these aircraft to Sweden.
More than ten months passed since the request of the purchasing of the aircraft. After that space of time, Stockholm received green light for the purchasing of the aircraft, but under limitations. It was only allowed to get the airframes. These got stripped of all technology, both stealth and other military equipment. They also were allowed to get the frames in a primed state, without any traces of paint which aided in absorbing radar waves. Final condition was the ban on export of the aircraft resulting from the swedish efforts in getting an stealthy aircraft themselves.
SAAB and a team of scientists inmediately got into work to adapt the existing airframes to the necessities as stated by the government.
In 2007, when SAAB presented the first airframe, returned to an airworthy state, scepticism arose among the government. But when the aircraft took off and the military demonstrated the potential of this aircraft, scepticism was nowhere to be seen. Existing orders for the Gripen were reduced in favor of the J-40 Vålnad (Ghost).

Fictional mod of the stock F-16A Netz from SFP:I to make it look like a fictional fighter plane for the italian air force.
BACKGROUND
Italy has the Viper, but as a lend-lease contract since 2003. What if they got them earlier...
When the state on the Apeninne Peninsula sought a replacement for the aging fleet of Zippers, the Viper was not directly on the first line. The Aeronautica Militare was thinking about replacing the fighters with more Tornadoes; but sought for other suitable candidates. Options weren't that numerous. France offered it's Mirage 50 and F1 while Sweden made a point with Draken and Viggen. The military command wanted a single-engined jet. Since their good experiences with the Zipper and the reduced cost of maintenance in contrast to a double engined aircraft (such as the Panavia Tornado), Italy asked France, Sweden and the US (which brought the F-15 and F-16) for evaluation flights of their models. The F-15 got sorted out early. Though being a huge weapons platform with a lot of payload (compared to the other candidates), it simply had two engines.
The italian pilots brought the planes to their limits and were amazed how simple it was to fly the Viper, compared to the other aircraft. In early 1983, a contract was signed between the Reagan administration and the italian government, that allowed Aeritalia (the company, that already produced the 104S Starfighter for the A.M.I.) to build the aircraft under license.
The first F-16S (Block 15 OCU-Standard) made its maiden flight in 1984 and replacement of the Starfighters started in 1985 finishing the task at the end of 1987.

SF2 Cessna O-1E Bird Dog Remod Pack -for 3W O-1E-  ver.3         12/14/2025
= For SF2, Any and All, Designed for SF2:V =
**This mod is designed to replace, in total, the version I did in 2011. If you don't have that mod, not to worry, everything -and MORE- is included in THIS one!!! **
This is a major overhaul of the stock 3rd Wire 1stGen O-1E Bird Dog with a new, functioning cockpit, all NEW skins from Brand New Home Grown Templates (tm), which are included within the main aircraft folder. All new semi-historically accurate serial numbers (meaning: generic in nature, representing no particular unit, but mostly correct for the time frames for each skins operational years and country assigned). All skins are now in jpg format, at 1024x1024. When discoverable, the read me for the original 1stGen skin is included with that skin folder.
The skins included herein represent ---
Canada:
CDN Army (CO-119) <54
Pakistan:
Pak Army Green <72
US Army: 
US Army Aviation L-19/O-1A <1949  (USArmy1 folder)
73rd Aviation Co "Warriors" (USA) <63 (USArmy2 folder)
USAF:
20th TASS <61
VNAF:
112th Liaison Sqdn <1962 (OD w/LtGrey upper wings)
112th Liaison Sqdn <1970 (overall LtGrey)
Decal randomization is TRUE for all. Skins have either 16, 20, 24 or 26 serial number decals, depending on Air Force and time frame used. The SF2 Date Switch is active for the 2 US Army & VNAF skins. As you can see above, the year tagged is their start date. Skins are now in the (mostly) correct colors as seen in Real Life (tm).
The aircraft uses stock HVARs, but for fun I've included the M-60 underwing machine gun. So you can shoot stuff up.  A new User list.ini is supplied, with most of the Dog's users. New pilot figures are used, too!
Be advised, the US Army Aviation units depicted here are still tagged with "USAF" as their Nation of Origin. See "Notes" for adding US Army to you Nations.ini, if you aren't using DaddyAirplanes expanded one. You'll have to extract the Nations.ini, if you haven't already, and place it in you /Flight folder. You'll also have to edit the TextureSet ini for those skins, in either case. Again, instructions are below.
You'll also be adding a new engine sound, and this will need to be added to the Sound list ini, so have that extracted (if you haven't already), and in the /Flight folder in you Mods Folder of choice (ie: SF2:V)
Because there are several differing Bird Dogs wandering around, I've used a unique folder & displayed name to differentiate it from them. On the Aircraft Selection Drop Down menu, you'll see
O-1E Bird Dog (3W)
The (3W) names it as the stock SFP1/WoV 3rd Wire aircraft.
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. 
Please read the Notes section for other possibly useless information, and (hopefully) full credits. 
Please also take note of changes in the Standard Disclaimer in the "Legal BS" section at the bottom.
Have Fun!! Woof Woof!!!

Dassault Mystère IVE for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (Israel or Quad-Merged)
Fictional mod of the stock Mystère IVA from SFP:E to make it look like a fictional fighter plane for different european air Forces.
BACKGROUND
In 1948, as Europe still lay under the shadow of World War II and the political landscape was reshaping, a group of European nations decided to take a bold step towards self-determination. While the United States was preparing to establish NATO and bring the Western world under its leadership, some European nations aimed to build a military power, that didn’t necessarily rely on the US in order to develop a strong military force by themselves. A secret meeting in the French Alps brought together military leaders, engineers, and political figures to launch the “European Military Initiative.”
The first days of the conference were filled with doubt and tension. Charles de Gaulle, the leader of France, worked tirelessly to promote the idea of military cooperation within Europe, without remaining dependent on the United States. The Americans had already laid out their own plans for European defense, but De Gaulle wanted more – he wanted Europe to develop its own, independent military backbone. In particular, there was a growing need for indigenous technology in the field of aviation, one that could compete with both American and Soviet counterparts. The war showed the flaws of tnot improving the own military capablities. Especially when it comes to airborne firepower, the allies learned a hard lesson from the axis, which was able to knockout Poland’s and France’s air force wthout any greater problems in a short period of time.
De Gaulle knew that France, as the leading nation of this alliance, had to take a crucial step to win the trust of the other European countries. At Dassault Aviation factories in Toulouse, a team of engineers was already working on a new jet that would form the backbone of the European Air Force: the Dassault Mystère IVA.
The Mystère IVA was originally designed as an advanced fighter and bomber, intended to challenge the leading aircraft of the Western world in the early 1950s. Under the leadership of Marcel Dassault, the charismatic CEO of Dassault Aviation, the Mystère IVA became a symbol of French engineering excellence and military independence.
Although the Mystère IVA was originally intended for the French Air Force, the project quickly caught the interest of other European nations. Greece, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Italy recognized the potential of this jet and decided to join forces in advancing the development of the Dassault Mystère IVA; whose european export version received the designation IVE. The Mystère IVE was a sleek, fast jet designed to secure air superiority, and it was above all one thing: a symbol of European self-determination and military innovation.
As the first test flights of the Mystère IVE took place in the early 1950s in France, a high-ranking delegation of European leaders traveled to Toulouse to see the jet up close. Among them was Konrad Adenauer, the Chancellor of West Germany, who was increasingly aware of the need for military cooperation between Western nations to counter the Soviet threat in the East. Adenauer was a pragmatic politician, but he also knew that a strong, united Europe was essential for rebuilding the continent and securing long-term peace.
The development of the Dassault Mystère IVA led to further diplomatic tensions, but also to a surprising collaboration. The German engineers, who had been allowed to return to military development under Adenauer, contributed their expertise to improving the Mystère IVE. The jet was now truly a collaborative project that brought together the best minds from across Europe.
Despite concerns from the United States and tensions within the Western alliance, the European Military Initiative grew in importance. By 1955, as NATO was already in full swing, Europe had stabilized enough that the Dassault Mystère IVE jets were no longer just a military asset – they were a symbol of European resolve. Even Winston Churchill, the British Prime Minister, came to recognize the value of military cooperation within Europe, although he had initially been skeptical. In spite of his recognition, the UK kept their own path, mostly relying on domestic designs.
Spain, who was also interested in participating and acquiring the jet for it’s own air force, got rejected because of the dictatorial government. Other countries like Sweden and Norway got offers for the fighter, but refused. While Sweden was building it’s own aircraft industry, Norway preferred to buy aircraft from the UK and US.
