******************************WARNING*******************************************************************************
this bird is rather old, and has its limitations. it is not meant for flying on recon missions,
but rather mainly for eye candy and somethin to possibly intercept or escort. while you CAN
fly it, that does NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD. that said buyer beware all quirks of this bird like the pitch
down on gear and flap retractions and the non moving control surfaces.
 
****************************USE OF THIS MOD*************************************************************************
I will allow fairly free use of this mod in any other mod. What i (at this time) request is that you do not
create a new skin based airline for it. the airlines are on as tga so that many airlines show up at one time.
A seperate say "Pan Am" skin will ruin the effect and there will be 8-9 Pan Am birds on the tarmac. Any airline
you would like to see, pm me and i will either tell you how to make it or time allowing make it and add in. Thank
you.
 
again, thank you for downloading this and i hope you enjoy it

CFM E-3 Sentrys
by daddyairplanes
 
This mod adjusts Veltro2k's E-3D release to add all 3 E-3 versions that used CFM-56 engines. Included are the RAF's D model, French AF's F model and Royal Saudi AF's A model.
 
Installation
Unzip. Install into desired mod molder. Allow merging and overwrites
 
Known Issues
No there is not an ESM kit for the E-3F at this time. If a 3d modeller is able to assist in the future one may be added via fakepilot. However the French birds are the only ones to use that bit of equipment, so it is somewhat low priority.
 
Aircraft Included
Sentry AEW.1 (E-3D), E-3F Sentry and E-3A Sentry RSAF
 
Credits
Veltro2k: original model and original hangar screen for the E-3D
daddyairplanes: ini edit to create E-3A_RSAF and E-3F, new hangars for mentioned aircraft based on original in E-3D, tga and ini edit work. improved D model skin and tga
TK: the original moddable game
Dave, eburger68: technical consultations on in game behavior
 
I hope you enjoy this humble little mod.

In 1965, due to the rising tensions between the Kingdom of Dhimar and the Empire of Paran, the Royal Dhimari Intelligence Service started Operation Mockingbird, in wich it planned to illegally acquire second-handed Soviet equipment from an undisclosed nation. The RDIS managed to buy 15 MiG-17F aircrafts, that once in Dhimari power, will be renamed MiG-17Dh. Based on Megnah Airbase, once ensembled, insignias and cockpit labels where changed, and the aircrafts enterded official service.
 

Installation is as usual. You will need Stary's great MiG-15/17 cockpit. It is not included, you can find it here: http://combatace.com/files/file/12684-mig-15-mig-15-bis-mig-17-cockpit/
It is a MiG-17F with a modified Somalian Air Corps skin made by Wrench.
 
Thank you very much Wrench and Stary!!

I think someone requested an F-14 aggressor/flanker style skin for the Tomcat, so here is my effort! Keep in mind this is the first time I've attempted to skin a bird so it's a not the best possible version of this yet!
 
P.S Feel free to PM me if you find any flaws which I'm sure there is many!
 
*Added some weathering and made overall improvements

The Sukhoi Su-30MKM (Modernizirovannyi Kommercheskiy Malaysia – Modernized Export Malaysia) is a supermaneuverable fighter of the Royal Malaysian Air Force. It is a variant of the Su-30 series fighters, with many significant improvements over the original Su-30MK export version.[2] The Su-30MKM was developed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau and is based on the Su-30MKI of the Indian Air Force. Both aircraft have common airframe, thrust vectoring engines and digital fly-by-wire system, However the MKM version differs from the MKI mainly in the composition of the on board avionics.[1] It can carry up to 8,000 kg/ 17,650 lb of weapons and payloads over 700 nmi unrefueled combat radius.[2]
In 2003, the Su-30MKM was selected by the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF). In August 2003, during the course of President Vladimir Putin’s official visit to Malaysia, the contract for the Su-30MKM aircraft was signed. Except for Russian MiG-29s, the RMAF has previously operated aircraft of Western origin. At the time of delivery the Su-30MKMs were the most advanced and heavy fighters in SouthEast Asia.
 
This is my first attempt at making a Malaysian Su-30MKM, I am still new to the modding community and if anyone has any suggestions or wants to add anything please let me know! Currently working on an Su-30MKI as well.

SF2 P-3C Orion by Florian 8/29/2015
 
= For SF2, (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED!) =
 
A stand alone release (as requested) of Florian's Beta P-3C Orion naval search aircraft. It is taken 'as is' from eburger's RSR mod. The only thing I've done is activate the cockpit, and change a few sounds.
 
Skins included are 2 US Navy and 1 Netherlands Navy, as is the cockpit and all required decals and sounds. A full userlist ini, is included for skinners
 
**This aircraft is a "Beta Release". It is released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist until as it's no longer a Beta.***
 
Happy Landings & Good Hunting!

SF2 Area 51 Test Pilot Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens!
By Viper
 
So, I do a lot of mod testing, I hate testing a new mod on an existing install I play on, so I have a dedicated install using the Nellis Terrain pack for testing new mods. This is the menu screens I use for that install. However, you can use these screens for any SF2 series if you like.
 
1) Creating a new mod install...First, you need to create a new Tester Mod game and folder. You can use any SF2 Series Game as a base. In your install folder (the merged Thirdwire folder), copy and renamed "StrikeFighter2 Europe" (exe and ini file) to "StrikeFighter2 Area51" (I used "StrikeFighter2 Europe" for my tester base - you don't have to). Run it to create the "Saved Game" mod folder.
 
2) Unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders from this package to your new StrikeFighter2 mod folder.
 
My StrikeFighter2 mod folder on Win7 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
 
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Area51\
 
3) To remove the new mod folder, just delete it and you're done. If you want to reset your tester install, rerun "StrikeFighter2 Area51" and copy the menus back into the reset mod folder.
 
4) Test more mods in a new clean tester install...
 
Enjoy!

This is dedicated Fouga Magister CM.170 / IAF Tzukit cockpit as included in The Scandinavian Front 2 expansion pack released earlier this year.
 
Uploaded for convinience as separate entry as not everyone might have interest in TSF2 mod (silly you!) or be aware that such a thing exists (doom on you!)
 
Installation is simple drag and drop into your desired aircraft. There are both english/french cockpit textures aswell as finnish ones included, the english/french ones enabled by default. My patented damage FX included for extra immersion.
 
Have fun
 
Stary
