In the early 1990s, the Italian Air Force (Aeronautica Militare Italiana, or AMI) identified a requirement for
a fighter to boost its air defence capabilities pending introduction of the Eurofighter Typhoon, expected around
2000. These fighters were to operate alongside the service's obsolescent F-104ASA Starfighters.
The Tornado ADV was selected from, amongst others, the F-16. On 17 November 1993, Italy signed an agreement with
the RAF to lease 24 Tornado F3s from the RAF for a period of ten years.
First training of AMI pilots began in March 1995 at RAF Coningsby while technicians gained experience at RAF
Cottesmore and Coningsby. The first aircraft was accepted on 5 July 1995 and flown to its Italian base the same day.
Delivery of the first batch was completed by 1996; these aircraft were deployed at Gioia del Colle in Southern Italy.
The second batch was delivered between February and July 1997, these aircraft were of a slightly higher specification.
They served with 12° Gruppo 36° Stormo at Gioia del Colle AB from 1995 to 2004 and with 21° Gruppo 53° Stormo at
Cameri AB from 1997 to 2001. In 1999 it joined 36° Stormo at Gioia del Colle AB and in 2001 was disbanded.
The AMI returned its Tornados to the RAF, with the final aircraft arriving at RAF Saint Athan on 7 December 2004.

Out of 3 Mig 31 models available in CA (not sure why Mig-31A got removed...) Mig 31BM has the oldest model dated back to 2008, which has problem casting shadows and is over-polygoned.
 
This package contains models changed late 2010 with multiple level of details and correct shadow casting. So that you can finally ditch the SHD file.
 
Original creator : jv44
Skin: jv44
 
 
Please note the new model is not compatible with any previous skin. This update is released as-is.
 
You will need to download & install Mig31m/bm pack from Brain32, then update with this mini pack. Find Brain32's file here

YAK-130 skin pack - PART 2
This skin pack took a longer time than I previously calculated because of the holiday and the pandemic, of course. I want to thank to our estimeed collegue and friend Ludo.m54 who found time , between his valuable projects, to design four superb skins for this pack. The second pack gets two whatif skins (Paran and Argentinian). Paran skin was a request of one of my friends who's been a good boy all this time (you're welcome!). The other skins are expo skins (red/white demo/green), two Russian skins (camo 1/camo2) and one Laos skin.
Later I will update the (second) skin pack with ECM pod skins to match each new skin colore made in this pack, as I did in the first pack.
Enjoy and let me know what you think about them in the commentary section.
 
INSTALL:
Just unzip and copy the OBJECTS into your main SF2XXXX folder.

Skin pack part 1 here:
 

East and West Eagles: F-15C in the 18th and 36th TFWs during the 1980s
this mod represents the F-15C while in service with the 18th TFW at Kadena AB and the 36th TFW at Bitburg AB. it is semi historical, especially in the case of the 36th TFW (with had a lot of variations on the theme at any given time!)
    Installation
get original FastCargo aircraft pack from here
   https://combatace.com/files/file/10443-f-15-super-pack-version-24/
or the viper63a revamp here
   https://combatace.com/files/file/16186-sf2-f-15-eagle-super-pack-redux-2018/
 the skin should work equally well in either. then....
select either just the F-15C and F-15C_85 aircraft (and associated decal folders if you wish, they arent needed for this mod)
unzip, drop "Objects" folder into mod folder. should not be any overwriting necessary
    Included
aircraft skin folders and decal folders for F-15C and F-15C_85 aircraft
    credits
viper63a:             limited use of decals, skins, much inspiration on how to proceed
FastCargo:            original model
allenjb42, NightshadeP/R:     testers. if its messed up i swear its their fault (J/K!)
daddyairplanes:         minor skin tweeks, revamp of decal layout, tga work
TK:                 the whole original game
note: this started as an improvement to my own install on a new system. as i do not usually fly the two seaters, i have no intentions of doing the D models. if interested, i will gladly share the templates so you can create your own.
2d note: this mod was mainly created to fix the Eagles the way i wanted them in my own installs. since i do not normally fly two seaters, i did not do D models. anyone interested in creating these is free to pm me, and i will share the decal templates
thank you for choosing this mod, i hope that you enjoy it
