Welcome.
This mission pack follows the Operational Conversion Unit (OCU) training undertaken by Pilot Officer Ian Black during 1985/86, the last RAF pilot to qualify on the English Electric Lightning, as documented in his excellent book The Last of the Lightnings (ISBN-10: 075093073X; ISBN-13: 978-0750930734).
 
The missions in this pack are specifically designed to be used with Thirdwire’s Strike Fighters 2 Europe: Expansion Pack 2 (SF2E:Exp2), which introduced all Lightning types to the game. Where possible, stock objects and aircraft are used. Where necessary new aircraft, skins, weapons, and loadouts have been defined and are included in the pack.
 
The missions
The missions in this pack form a syllabus for an OCU course, similar to that undertaken by Ian Black at RAF Binbrook, which is broken down into the following phases:
Basic aircraft handling.
Basic navigation.
Basic radar operation.
Advanced radar operation.
Radar assisted interceptions, with a varying degree of difficulty based on the angle-off of an approaching enemy. Includes high and low altitude, high and low speed, and combinations of these.
Air-to-air refuelling (AAR), using radar to acquire the ‘tanker’.
Air combat manoeuvres (ACM) against solo and multiple bogeys, using training rounds to record ‘kills’.
Air gunnery school, using live weapons against drone targets.
Ground gunnery school, using live weapons against static ground targets.
Formation flying, culminating in a diamond-9 flypast to celebration OCU graduation.

The Lisunov Li-2, originally designated PS-84 (NATO reporting name "Cab"),
was a license-built version of the Douglas DC-3. It was produced by Factory #84
in Moscow-Khimki and, after evacuation in 1941, at TAPO in Tashkent.
The project was directed by aeronautical engineer Boris Pavlovich Lisunov.
 
This is the post war turretless model rebuilt by me from the stock C-47A.
 
18 Skins: 3 PLAAF, 1 CVL, 1 FAR, 2 NKPAF, 2 ML, 1 PWL, 5 VVS, 1 SyAAF,

F-4F (ICE) Norm 12J Pixelated Air Superiority Camouflage
 
 
Story:
*** entirely fictional and very unlikely to happen, but fun ***
 
The time of the F-4F in Luftwaffe service is coming to an end. They are about to be phased out by 2013 and only one fighter wing, JG 71 “Richthofen”, still operates them. However in their last year JG 71-personell decided to give the venerable fighter a last new look and applied a pixilated camouflage based on the colours used in the standard Norm 90J camouflage. As it turned out, the Phantom not only looks phabulous but is also well concealed at high alt and in the clouds. It is soon to be adopted by the other Luftwaffe fighters as Norm 12J.
 
 
Requirements:
 
This is a skin for the F-4F ICE, thus you need the excellent pack of Ravenclaw_007
http://combatace.com...-europe-vers20/
 
 
Installation:
 
It uses the decals of the ICE-pack, so there is no need to install extra decals. You just drop unzip and drop the folder into the F-4F ICE folder in your mod directory, usually it is:
C:\Users\xxx\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\Objects\Aircraft\F-4F_ICE
 
 
Credits:
 
Ravenclaw_007 for his reworked F-4F template, his decals, and the F-4F ICE
Sundowner for his original F-4E template.
