The Canadair Sabre Mk.6 was the final variant and was considered to be the "best" production Sabre ever built.
It was equipped with a two-stage Orenda engine developing 7,275 lb (3,302 kg.) of static thrust. Its altitude
performance and climb rate was enhanced over the Mk 5 and the reinstatement of the wing leading edge slat gave
it excellent low-speed characteristics.        The first production model was completed on 2 November 1954 and
ultimately 655 were built with production terminating on 9 October 1958. A total of 390 Mk 6s went to the RCAF
with the majority replacing the existing Canadair Sabre Mk 5s at the Air Division squadrons in West Germany and
France. The main air threats to NATO in the 1950s in Central Europe were the early variants of the Soviet MiG
the MiG-15, MiG-17, MiG-19 and MiG-21. Based on the Korean War experience, the selection of the Mk 6 Sabre to
provide an effective opposition to the MiG threat proved to be a logical one. Canada’s commitment to NATO was
to provide 12 squadrons located at four bases – two in France (Marville and Grostenquin) and two in West Germany
(Zweibrücken and Baden Soellingen). Initially, the contribution consisted of only Sabre aircraft; however, later
it was decided to include the Avro Canada CF-100 aircraft in the defense package to provide a night and all-weather
fighter capability.
In addition to the RCAF deliveries, 225 Canadair Mk 6 Sabres were exported to the West German Luftwaffe, six were
delivered to the Colombian Air Force, and 34 went to the South African Air Force.

Speech Enhancement & Expansion
February 13th, 2019 (1st Release)
by Menrva

>For Strike Fighters 2 games
This package is my personal enhancement meant to improve the consistency and quality of the in-game English speech. I tweaked the SpeechSystem.ini file to include the additional SF2NA voices ("call the ball" and "Vampire") separately from those of the TACC; the additional SF2NA voices are now meant to be those of a Navy Controller. By chance, I have found and fixed a stock bug in the original SF2 SpeechSystem.ini file.
With some .wav editing, I created a generic Hawkeye TACC using the original, female Red Crown voice. Additional .wav files have been created so that in-game flights and Departure mention Hawkeye instead of Red Crown.
I hex-edited the .str file so that subtitles properly display Hawkeye instead of Red Crown. Other little fixes were also made; for instance, you'll no longer see "Call the ball" (capital letter after a comma), now it correctly is "call the ball". You get Hawkeye as TACC when flying for naval aviation services, otherwise you get Red Crown.
This enhancement is a mixture of Polak's beautiful speech pack for SF1 games, and of SkateZilla's and Rends' improved Hawkeye voices; my thanks for their work!
As a bonus, correct and complete or mostly complete speech files have been added for other languages: Italian, Spanish, Vietnamese, Arabic, Persian. These languages have been added to the proper aviation services of countries where these languages are official:
-Arabic is used for Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Lebanon, Somalia, Chad, Yemen, Oman, Algeria, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Libya, Djibouti.
-Spanish is used for Spain, Argentina, Cuba, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic.
-Persian is used for Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan.
-Vietnamese is used for North Vietnam only.
-Italian is used for Italy only.
It's highly suggested to install this mod on top of my Nations & Medals Expansion package; the included NATIONS.ini file is entirely based on the one from that mod (hence that mod is required), but with additional edits for enabling different speech packs and callsigns where proper.
Mentioned countries feature correct callsigns as heard by the respective audio files (except for Persian, not possible for me to rework them without a transcription). The in-game subtitles have been fully reworked to feature such different callsigns.

>Credits (in no particular order):
-Polak, for his SF1 mod which enhances all of the original SFP1 speech sound files.
-Rends and SkateZilla, for the improved SF2NA Hawkeye voices, which I have tweaked a bit.
-GKABS, for producing the (still in progress) Arabic speech pack started for the development of ODS 30AE.
-Nguyen Dang Hat and Rhugouvi, for creating the amazing Vietnamese speech pack.
-FX Interactive, for producing the Italian and Spanish speech packs for their release of Strike Fighters: Project 1.
-Gerwin, for his tips on properly hex-editing the header of .STR files.
I included the original readme files from the mentioned mods, to the end of giving proper credit to everyone involved directly or not.

>Disclaimer:
This is a freeware; yet it can be redistributed ONLY in other CombatACE mods/mod packages.
This mod may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware additions.

SF2_IDF_V2K_B-17s
= Tested in  Full-5 Merged installation
This project started as a personal customization to have the Israeli skins for Veltro 2K B-17F/G.
In 1948 the IDF/AF found four  B-17G in a dump in Florida and bought them.The planes were in very poor conditions, stripped of the turrets and instruments.Three were made airworty and flew via Azores to Czechoslovakia, there received additional and better instruments ( some war-time Luftwaffe gunsights,ecc...) and loaded with bomb.On their way to Israel, one bombed Cairo and the other two Egyptian positions in Sinai.
The fate of the fourth bomber was less succesful, because the raids of the first three on Egypt prompted a FBI investigation and , cut a long story short, the plane was seized by authority in the Azores, as the crew involved choose to rest after the trip instead of refuel the bird and take off as soon possible.
The bombers were assigned to the 69 Squadron The Hammers at Hatzor and given serial number 1601,1602 and 1603, and by the end of the War of Indepenence the B-17s had flown over 200 missions.
At the time of the Suez crisis the Fortresses were out of service but two were brought back in action with changed two-digit serial numbers and incomplete camouflage ( only brown instead of the standard  brown-blue over silk grey).
During their operational use the planes were painted in different way, comprised NMF and with various artwork applied, but this wasn't my focus.
==========
To Install:
As always raccomended,all in the relative folders in your game(s)

-----------------------------
Credits:
Veltro 2K for the models
Me for the decals and the skins

------------
Know issue:
This modest pack contain both the F and G model despite Israel bought only G model. My choice was dictated by the fact that during the War of Independence the planes were armed only woth the waist and tail guns in a indigenous modification, the rear bulkhead of the tail position conmpletely removed and equipped with twin .03 inch machineguns. For these reason I opted for the B-17F in my mod
By the time of the Suez action ( in reality even before) the complete armament was restored, here my choice for the B-17G.
In 1956 the s/N 23 had the chin turret replaced by a search radar for maritime patrol, but I'm absolutely unable to modify the models as I'm not a modder, so you will be fly with the gun turret in his place.
I choose to add the fourth plane ,just to have one more, despite never arrived in Israel.

FW 190F, this is my final version of this device that includes all the experimental effects never seen in this simulator, this pack contains the plane with its corresponding cockpit with 3 historical skins, the new luftwaffe pilot (there are 2 lods, one with goggles and one without goggles, the pilot with goggles is worn by default). and many weapons used by this bird (including the disposable wing tanks of the FW190G version)
The F variant had the same blown canopy as the late versions of the FW190D series and is a specialized ground attack aircraft.
I hope you enjoy it, more information in the readme file.

This is an AI remastered tileset for the great NovaLogic Terrains released by Menrva. 
This is tilesets only. You will need the full terrain from here to get it working.
NovaLogic Terrains - Full Terrains - CombatACE
 
AI zoom tool based on Realesrgan was used in the tileset with GPU computing to reproduce 512 x 512 tilesets with richer details from the original 128 x 128 tilesets. Due to limitation of the AI algorithm, there are still part of terrain remain blured. So the tilesets are all reduced to 256 x 256 to produce a more consistent feel. 
We have noticed some other AI anti-blur algorithm can produce better results on the new 512 x 512 tile set and may include that in the future release.
 
----------------------------/Installation/----------------------------------
0. You must have the NovaLogic Terrains from Menrva. This is a tileset only. Download and install from the link provided above.
1. Backup is a must. this mod will overwrite your existing Novalogic terrain tilesets. Just in case you are not happy with the outcome;
2. extract the Terrains folder under your SF2 mod folder and overwrite the files (about 2950 files)
 
Enjoy!
