            About The Mirage Factory Rebuilt
 Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009.
 But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were just hopeful wishes over a decade ago.
 The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is jsut standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him.    
on behalf of The Mirage Factory (original and rebuilt) I thank you for downloading this mod, and hope you enjoy it.

Hogs in Reserve: A-10A in Air Force Reserve Service, 1990s
This is a skin and decal mod to bring the A-10s of the US Air Force Reserves throughout the 1990s to SF2
It features skins for both the European 1 green skins as well as the Grey Compass Ghost scheme that the Hogs settled into as the 90s progressed.
Although considered a part time frorce, the AFRES hogs were quite busy throughout the 1990s supporting operations in the Balkans and over Northern Iraq. This mod has pinpointed the aircraft of each unit as accurately as possible within each unit
    
Note: the 706th Fighter Squadron is covered from 1996 on, not the aircraft the squadron used in Desert Storm. most of those went to the boneyard shortly after coming home as the squadron converted to F-16s for a few years.

        Included
Skins and decals for 4 AFRES A-10 squadrons: the 45th FS "IN", 47th FS "BD", 303rd FS "KC", and 706th FS "NO" post 1996.

Indo-Pak mod Mystere IVA Indian Air Force Skin Pack
 
 
A Skin pack that is basically meant to update the stock Wrench's Thirdwire Dassault Mystere IVA(Indian AF) that is a part of the Indo-Pak mod aircraft package.
 
The package has been tested on a merged Indo-Pak SF2 install( SF2/SF2E/SF2V/SF2V/SF2I/Exp pack1 & 2/SF2NA updated upto July 2012 patch) . It does not contain any cockpit or lod files and uses stock Mystere IVA a/c and cockpit model. All skin textures are in jpeg format.
 
It *may* not work properly if your install does not satisfy the above requirements
 
Package contains serial number decals(all 110 IAF Mystere IVA airframes), skins and markings for all Indian AF Mystere IVA squadrons that took part in the 1965 Indo-Pak war( No. 1 "Tigers" , No. 3 "Cobras" , No. 8 'Pursoots" , No. 31 "Lions" and No. 32 "Thunderbirds")
 
 
Installation
Warning : This is meant strictly for the Indo-Pak mod on a full SF2 merged install and it will overwrite the MystereIVa.ini file. I will not be reposible if you chose to install it over a generic install and it messes up your ini files.Should you choose to install it a non-Indo-Pak install, do so at your own risk.
 
Drop the contents of the file(Aircraft & Decals folders) in your X:\Users\YYYY\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Objects folder and let it overwrite (assuming yours is a Indo-Pak mod install).
 
 
Credits :
Thirdwire- for the MystereIVA model
Indo-Pak mod team - For the Indo-Pak mod
Wrench, the ini master, for the Indian AF MystereIVA mod and gigantic efforts in putting together the Indo-Pak mod & aircraft.
 
This skin pack is meant to be a thank you the Indo-Pak team and a tribute to the intrepid Indian Air Force Mystere IVA pilots who lead Indian Air Force's day time strikes during the 1965 war, , who inspite of being at a disadvantage against agile PAF Sabres and faster F-104s, held their own.

SF2 TMF Mirage3C EC 3/10 Vexin Skin Pack       5/21/2024
-For SF2, Any and All-
This here is a "new" skin for The Mirage Factory's Mirage IIIC, representing EC 3/10 Vexin in 2-tone desert camoflague, as they appeared during the Chad/Libyan war, based in Djbouti. EC 3/10 was the last unit in the AdA to use the Mirage III. I've given it a start date of 1984, so the 'SF2 Date Switch' will turn it on then.
You can find the TMF Mirage IIIC at the following url:
https://combatace.com/files/file/18208-sf2-tmf-mirage-iiic-ada-upgraderemod-pack/
Reminder: this is for the IIIC =ONLY!!!=, NOT the IIICi!!
Almost all marking are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The skin remains in it's original bmp format. A skin specific Hangar screen was created just for this mod. Also included, are updated Data and loadout inis, containing Crusader's animation fix for the intake shock cones, and a small weapons twerk. I'd suggest backing up your originals, as a "CYA" measure.
When 'in game', on the Loadout screen, unit selection drop down, you'll see:
EC 3/10 Vexin (<1984 Desert)
Although, wherever your flying it WILL turn on automaticlly.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included.
Happy Landings!
