Lockheed F-104A Starfighter for Strike Fighters 2
 
The F-104A was first interceptor version of the Starfighter. It has been used by the Air Forces of the US, Pakistan, Jordan and Taiwan.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This mod is intended as a general update of the F-104A model of Ajunaidr released some years ago.
The FM is improved and now there are a new ogival nose, pitot and other details added via "fake pilot".
 
There are 2 variants in this pack. Standard F-104A and the later upgraded machines with the more powerfull and reliable J79-GE-19 engine.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
IMPORTANT!!!
You need SF2E to have the stock F-104G and SFP1 for the cockpit files.

Convair Model 201 for Strike Fighters 2
 
----------------------------------------------
What this is :
 
This is the CTOL version of Convair's Model 200 VSTOL entry for the Sea Control Ship fighter competition of the early 70's. It also reappeared later as GD Model 218 during the VFAX competition which ultimately ended up as the F-18.
 
There are quite a number of artist's impressions and 3-view floating around, of which most ones show a more pointy delta planform and underwing Sidewinders. That would be the earlier iterations, which by 1975 or so would have evolved into what you see here.
 
The original documentation only mentions 2 AIM-9 + 2 AIM-7 but I added 2 underwing and a centerline station because it makes the plane a bit more fun to use and isn't totally implausible.
 
----------------------------------------------
More Stuff:
 
It uses sounds from SF2E so your mileage may vary :o
 
----------------------------------------------
Known Issues:
 
None, really.

Another version I found on DeviantART, an EA-18G version, with custom textures for the ALQ-99G pods
 
Drop in you EA-18G folder and go fly.

Drop it into your FA-18E folder and go fly, just "016", If you want decals let me know.

A small file that updates the FA_18F Loadout.ini with a few historical loadouts that I found and setup from various reference pictures I have on my hard drive. Some are by squadron as it seemed they all had their own ideas as far as what was used in the referenced period of time. The PDF readme has a graphical representation of the loadouts for easy reference.
 
If you have any other pictures PM me and I can add it, along with the time the photo was taken. Note an E version is in the works and will be included when I update this file.

Seafire MkIII (Modified), No.1 Sqn, Irish Air Corps, 1947 - 1955
 
Completely new version.
 
The Irish Air Corps bought 12 Seafires in 1947; these were denavalised by removing the 'hook' and at least in most cases, locking the wing-fold joints. They were numbered from 146 to 157. There is still considerable debate among the Irish aviation historians as to the precise colour used; they were clearly painted overall with a greenish-grey shade, possibly MAP Light Slate Grey. No detailled information is available.
 
I have included the serials for the 6 Spitfire T.MkIX aircraft also acquired by the Irish Air Corps, in order to make up a suitable minimum number of decals. These go from 158 to 163.
 
For use ONLY with SF2 including the Israel Expansion Pack. This will NOT work if you do not have the stock TW Spitfires installed and working.
