    1. IAe 33 Pulqui II

      IAe FMA 33 Pulqui II
      REDUX
       
       
      This is a complete overhaul of Foxmonters Pulqui II, it is a relativley old model, so there are a few minor issues with the skin, ie, it was designed for SF1 I think, and as there are zero templates available, I had to make my own, and try and figure out wher bits an pieces are supposed to go. Anyhow, I have completely reworked the skins, new panels and rivets, updated the engine and flight characterisics ( I used the engine and flight stats from the Venom) I have replaced the frankly bloody awful cockpit with the one from the Mystere V, which I think is actually the F84 pit. The aircraft now has drop tanks from the Vampire, I was going to add other weapons, but as there are no pylons for this model, and I did NOT want to use the "fake pilot" method, is is purely a gun armed bird. 
      There are  6 new skins, 2 Argentine, camo and NMF, 2 Egyptian again camo and NMF 1 Dutch example in green over blue, and finally a Dhimari recce bird in NMF with a sand upper fuselage. I have not redone the Argentine prototype aircraft, as I think it looks crap, so if you want that skin, get the original aircraft, and revell in its utter ugliness   The orginal also had a Parani skin, but I feel that it would be more likely for Dhimar to use this aircraft, as it is not a WARPAC plane, also the Egyptian, and Dutch aircraft are the only other skins  I have done as no one else actually ordered the Pulqui ( although the orders wer ultimately cancelled, so they ARE what if skins )
      I have included an alternative pit, the one from the Vampire, however, you will have to piddle around with it, as the view of the wings from the cockpit seat is rather dreadful, but it's there if you wish to use it insted of the Mystere pit. all the decals have been re done,  and of course are included in the package, I have applied spurious stencilling in various places on the airframe, however they are in Polish ( I think ) as I lifted them from the Mig-15, but hey its only window dressing right !!! The sounds are also included, make sure to ammend you soundlist.ini so they work. So read the read me file and the add to soundlist files and you should be frosty. 
      I have just notiiced I forgot to include the sound for the Gun in the Sounds folder, even though I did put it on the soundlist.ini addition. so please add the sound file attached below.
      Any questions please feel free to message me.
      As always............................ENJOY

    8. 52nd Fighter Wing 1993

                                                                      52nd Fighter Wing 1993
      This mod brings together all of the aircraft of the 52nd Fighter Wing at Spangdahlem AB, Federal Republic of Germany in 1993. It features historic serials and skins for the era
                                             Included
      A-10A_93, F-16C/D_B50, F-4G_92 aircraft
      Sounds, effects and decals for all of the above
      Assorted Weapons
      Special Fuel Tanks to allow selection from different aircraft.
                                             Installation
      unzip, add contents of "2 Mod Folder" to the mod folder of your choice. allow overwrites
      NOTE ON F-4G_92
      I HAVE BEEN GIVEN PERMISSION FROM ravenclaw_007 TO RELEASE AN EARLIER COPY OF HIS ONGOING F-4G PROJECT. WHEN HE RELEASES HIS FINAL PRODUCT IN THE FUTURE THIS MOD WILL BE UPDATED ACCORDINGLY.
      NOTE ON SPECIAL TANKS AND MIXED FLIGHTS
      I HAVE SET UP A SERIES OF FUEL TANKS SO THAT FUEL TANKS OTHER THAN WHAT IS NATIVE TO THE AIRCRAFT CAN BE SELECTED, ALLOWING MIX FLIGHTS OF AIRCRAFT. THE TANKS FOR EACH AIRCRAFT IS IDENTIFIED BY A NUMBER AT FRONT (IE "370 GAL TANK") WHILE THE NON REGULAR ONES HAVE THE AIRCRAFT NAME IN FRONT (IE F-16 370 GAL TANK). THEY WILL APPEAR FOR THE MOST PART AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MENU SCROLL
      IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THIS, IT IS HIGHLY RECCOMENDED THAT YOU SELECT THE F-16C, THEN CHANGE TO THE F-4G OR A-10 IN THE LOADOUT MENU SCREEN ( flightname 1-1 IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE LEAD). THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO USE ALL AVAILABLE WEAPONS, AS THE F-16 CAN CARRY ALMOST ANYTHING THE A-10 OR F-4G CAN.

    15. EF2000 Typhoon Add-on

      EF2000 Typhoon Add-on
      February 13th, 2025 (1st Release)
      by GKABS, Bongodriver, ace888, compufat and Menrva

      >For Strike Fighters 2 games
      This is a complete add-on of the EF2000 Typhoon aircraft, featuring all of its Real World operators. The original model by Bongodriver has been overhauled by GKABS with additional details, including a proper PIRATE System built into the aircraft's 3d model.
      The package currently includes the following operators and relative skins produced by ace888, GKABS and compufat, with tweaks by yours truly where needed for quality consistency:
      -Royal Air Force, 15 skins
      -German Air Force, 14 skins
      -Italian Air Force, 9 skins
      -Spanish Air Force, 5 skins
      -Austrian Air Force, 2 skins
      -Royal Saudi Air Force, 2 skins
      -Kuwait Air Force, 2 skins
      -Qatar Emiri Air Force, 1 skin
      -Royal Air Force of Oman, 1 skin
      I further polished the package by adding historically accurate weapon loadouts for all operators throughout the years, my own selection of sounds, new cockpit and HUD textures and other smaller tweaks here and there. The incredibly detailed weapons included in the package are the courtesy of ravenclaw_07.

      Notes:
      -The aircraft folder is named "EF2000". In order to avoid mismatches and bugs of any sort, it's highly suggested to either remove or rename any pre-existing "EF2000" folder you might have.
      -You need to tweak the SoundList.ini file in order to fully experience any new sounds. Read "(Add to SoundList)" for further details, and remember to extract the SoundList.ini file from the FlightData.cat archive, if you do not have a custom one in your mod folder already.

      >Credits (in no particular order):
      -GKABS, for reworking the original aircraft 3d model by Bongodriver, for skins and decals for Kuwait and Qatar and for his reworked templates.
      -ravenclaw_07, for his fantastic high quality recreations of missiles, bombs and pods.
      -ace888, for reworking the original add-on by Bongodriver with several new skins and decals for all operators of the time.
      -compufat, for supporting this project with skins of special liveries.
      -Bongodriver, for his original EF2000 aircraft and cockpit 3d models and for the skin templates.

    16. Su-17 Fitter-C V1.0

      I know this has been a long way, but finally, we are releasing the first variant for the swing wing Su-17 series.
      The Su-17 (Sans Suffix) is the first production swing wing series coming from the fixed wing Su-7 series, which has been in service since 1959. the plane still shared some common parts with the 7, like the tail (same as the Su-7BKL series) and fuselage fuel pipes, to mention some external ones.
      The same store payload (more or less) was hanging from 6 external hardpoints, all for unguided munitions, the only real advantage with the Su-7 series is the swing wings that shortened the takeoff and landing runs.
      Unless its predecessor this specific variant was not widely exported, only Egypt was provided with a few examples (named Su-17K).
      CombatACE team who deserve credits on the project is mentioned below, please if someone is missing (Hey, this has more than 10 years in the making) is listed below:
      For the 3D aspects: 
      Martin K. A.K.A. 76.IAP-Blackbird.
      Laszlo B. A.K.A. Logan4.
      Enoc M. A.K.A. FLOGGER23.
      The FM:
      Cliff7600
      Armament Department:
      Snailman
      Cliff7600
      Skinning:
      FLOGGER23
      I want to thank the advice to the following guys:
      Snailman for the references
      Soulfreak for the stencil pics
      Stary for general skinning tips
      General installation tips.
      As this is a first release and the plane was operated by the Soviet Air Force, I recommend using it in the European/Asian-Ish terrains for realism.
      All squadrons and decals have been verified as historical, but errors may have been made, be nice to us (me)
      All of the mod folders have been arranged for you to drop them in the main game folder of your preference.
      Some weapons have been made from scratch, please review what you have and what you need.
      Some effects have been made, also, please back up what you have.
      Su-17K as mentioned above, will be released as separated for SF2:I
      Thanks to all who stayed this long with us to (hopefully) enjoy this release, we will work on the next variant as time allows, as they are in the final stages of release.
      Safe flights everyone!

    18. F-22A Raptor Add-on

      F-22A Raptor Add-on
      October 13th, 2021 (1st Release)
      by yakarov79, baffmeister, Crusader, guuruu and Menrva

      >For Strike Fighters 2 games
      This is a high quality add-on of the F-22A Raptor aircraft. The original model had been made by Heberth, and it was released in alpha stage.
      Upon noticing room for improvement, yakarov79 helped finalize the 3d model with numerous, additional details; accurate pylons and rail launchers, new external fuel tanks, highly detailed rack and small diameter bomb 3d models, canopy and thrust-vectoring animations, high-res skin with specular and bump maps, updated cockpit model, and so on.
      A realistic, well-thought flight model has been produced by our expert, baffmeister. Moreover, Crusader offered his great expertise to improve upon his previous modification for the Raptor's avionics. All their efforts have raised the quality bar of the project I had started; much credits to them all.
      I further polished the package by adding historically accurate weapon loadouts, my selection of sounds (including authentic engine samples by guuruu), realistic camouflage shapes and colours, reworked decals for the actual USAF's F-22A squadrons, new cockpit textures and other tweaks here and there. Each squadron has got historically correct serial numbers, and they appear in chronological order in the loadout screen; the serial numbers at the bottom of the list are those of aircraft that joined that squadron for last, while the serials at the beginning of the list indicate those aircraft that were available to that squadron for first.
      Like you would expect in an opera omnia, I even reproduced three unique paint schemes of real Raptors; the air superiority camouflage of the EMD 91-4001 Prototype of September 1997, the temporary "Blue Nose" decoration of the "Cripes A'Mighty" Raptor assigned to the 149th Fighter Squadron in April 2010, and a generic Mid-Production livery sporting the markings of the last Raptor ever produced that flew for the first time in March 2012.
      Templates by yakarov79, tweaked by yours truly, are included for your skinning fantasies.
      Notes:
      -The cockpit is not yet accurate, as various details couldn't be reworked due to RL and time constraints. We were working on a brand new cockpit with accurate HUD and displays. Slimers with correct illumination were also planned. Hopefully they will be a thing in a future re-release.
      -The aircraft folder is named "F-22A", just like the one included in a number of mod packages which use an old 3d model by Dels. In order to avoid mismatches and bugs of any sort, it's highly suggested to either remove or rename the aircraft folder using Dels' Raptor 3d model.
      -GPS guidance bombs (EOGB) do not work as intended in SF2, there are issues about them not locking on target and about AI behaviour. The GBU-39 has been set as an EOGR, so it works like a missile; this is a needed workaround to have them loaded properly on a rack while keeping the GPS guidance property.
      -You need to tweak the SoundList.ini file in order to fully experience any new sounds. Read "(Add to SoundList)" for further details, and remember to extract the SoundList.ini file from the FlightData.cat archive, if you do not have a custom one in your mod folder already.

      >Credits (in no particular order):
      -Heberth, for making this (once forgotten) fantastic 3d model.-Heberth, for making this (once forgotten) fantastic 3d model.

    19. F-19 Stealth Fighter

      F-19 Stealth Fighter
      September 13th, 2022 (1st Release)
      by Julhelm, Dels and Menrva
      >For Strike Fighters 2 games
      This is a rework of Julhelm's fantastic F-19 stealth fighter 3d model, now featuring a centre strut canopy structure (thanks to a cheap trick of repainting the bubble canopy glass) and a new cockpit, a purposely modified F-117A cockpit by Dels.
      Among the improvements, it now features proper hit boxes and collision points, proper location for position lights and landing gear lights, reworked skins, aircraft characteristics and loadouts meant to resemble the ones of Microprose's F-19 Stealth Fighter game.
      It still features two internal weapon bays (unlike Microprose's exaggerated four bays), but with properly reworked limits; you can have 4x Sidewinders or 3x AMRAAMs per bay, 2x bombs or AGMs depending on their overall weight and size. A 20mm cannon is on the nose with 680 rounds, and an extra 1,900 lbs fuel cell has been added for a total of 11,800 lbs of fuel; non-afterburning engines are used for stealth reasons. An (invisible) arrester hook has been added as well, since Microprose's version could also operate from aircraft carriers.
      Skins feature the 83-019 serial number and an F letter on the vertical tails; these two details come from a picture of a menu screen in one of the releases of Microprose's F-19 Stealth Fighter game, where you could choose between an F-19 or an F-117A. More serial numbers couldn't be featured as the 3d model of the aircraft does not support decals without decal bleeding issues. Just imagine piloting the only example of F-19 in very black operations!
      Three new skins were created: a Prototype Black skin created from the specular texture Julhelm had made, and Desert and Arctic camo skins made by modifying the USAF Euro camo skin created by kblomkvist.
      NOTE: Strike Fighters 2 has no proper IRST functionality, so for the purpose of launching AMRAAMs a very basic ACM radar mode has been added to the avionics file of the aircraft. Moreover, the default cockpit features an obtrusive front strut which makes the cannon difficult to use. You can activate an alternative cockpit LOD in the relative INI file.
      >What-if Backstory
      During the development of the Have Blue demonstrators, Lockheed's Skunk Works division also conceived a third experimental stealth aircraft featuring an entirely different shape, rounded fuselage and wings, and meant to have air combat capabilities. The CIA got wind of it, classifying it at the highest possible level and using it as a cover-up story for the stealth aircraft that came to be the F-117A Nighthawk. In 1986, the Testor Corporation released a plastic model aircraft kit, calling it the "F-19 Stealth Fighter". Jane's All the World's Aircraft 1987-88 book listed an RF-19 as a Lockheed development project. The conceptual drawings of it were generally similar to Testor's design. In 1988 a combat flight simulator game, F-19 Stealth Fighter by Microprose, was released just moments before the public unveiling of the F-117A Nighthawk attack aircraft, which is said to be what it sought to represent. The reality is that a single F-19 existed and, during secret flights over Groom Lake, this experimental aircraft showed unique strength and was deemed a super-aircraft. Due to its funding and maintenance costs, the project was officially abandoned in 1983. Unofficially, this single example of F-19 took part in black operations all over the world until 1997. It is named F-19A Nightowl, internally nicknamed "Flying Frisbee" for its rounded shape and also referred to as "Ghostrider" for allegedly being affiliated with the 416th TFS Ghost Riders flying the F-117A Nighthawk.
      "The view would have been frightening to most men, there were solid clouds overhead at 4000 feet. He flew through the showers, he more heard than saw on this black night and the dark outlines of the trees appeared to reach up and snatch at his speeding fighter. Only a madman would be so low on such a night. 'So much the better' he smiled in his oxygen mask" - Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising

      -Dels, for his kindness in reworking the F-117 cockpit following my request.

    23. MiG-21F-13M Fishbed-O

      MiG-21F-13M update program (What if)
      ***********************************
      ----------------------------------------------------------
      I. This mod is written for SF2

      +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      II. History:
      In 1969, the Soviet Union delivered the first of 87 MiG-21Ms to the East German Air Force LSK/LV. This aircraft was eagerly awaited in the GDR, as it promised a greater range, a higher weapon load and an improved radar. But when the aircraft became part of everyday military life, the joy soon gave way to great disillusionment. It became apparent that the MiG-21M had lost a large part of its maneuverability compared to its predecessor models. The acceleration ability was also no longer what it was used to. The pilots were loudly critical, which was unusual, because in the GDR it was strictly frowned upon to criticize Soviet military technology.
      At first the head of the air force wanted to punish his pilots for their criticism, but his deputy convinced him of the opposite. If loyal elite pilots dared to criticize openly, then there must be something to it.
      Therefore, a series of training air battles was scheduled in which the MiG-21M had to compete against its predecessor models.
      In every single air battle, the MiG-21M was outmaneuvered and simulated being shot down. The aircraft was simply too fat and underpowered.
      The disillusionment was great. Therefore, it was decided to use the MiG-21M from now on only as a reconnaissance aircraft and fighter-bomber. In order to bridge the time until more modern MiG-21 variants arrived, the older MiG-21 versions were ordered to be modernized.
      The focus was on the MiG-21PF and the MiG-21F-13.
      The MiG-21F-13 was the most agile version of the MiG-21. It was loved by its pilots. But this aircraft had some disadvantages. These included the lack of an air target radar, a low weapon load and a less than reliable engine. These problems needed to be addressed. The project was codenamed "Moskito".
      At the end of 1969, the Chief of the GDR Air Force presented the "Moskito" project at a meeting of the top leadership of the Warsaw Pact states. Polish and Czech participants were interested, so an agreement was reached that the "Moskito" project should be jointly pursued by the three states of the GDR, Poland and Czechoslovakia.
      Poland took on the task of modernizing the weapon system. Czechoslovakia would take care of the engine and the GDR would revise the sensor system.
      Work in Poland progressed quickly. This was because Poland was already working on a double launch rail for air-to-air missiles. It was called Monsun and was originally intended for the MiG-21PF. It now had to be integrated into the weapon system of the MiG-21F-13. This was achieved within a few months.
      The Czechs' task was more difficult. Initially, the original R-11F-300 engine was to be replaced by the MiG-21PFM engine. However, there were some delays and problems installing the engine. In addition, the increase in performance was only achieved when the afterburner was used, not with normal thrust. It was only when the Soviet Union agreed to supply the R-13F-300 engine that real progress could be made. Normal thrust increased by 5%, and afterburner thrust by an incredible 25%. The test pilots were enthusiastic about the MiG-21F-13 with this engine.
      In the GDR, they were faced with the problem of developing an air target radar that would match the RP-21 in terms of performance. The RP-21 did not fit into the slim nose of the MiG-21F-13. Therefore, the radar rangefinder SRD-5ND Kwant was used as the starting point for radar development. By using semiconductor technology instead of vacuum tubes, it was possible to reduce the weight of the device, increase its reliability and triple the detection distance. Instead of detecting a large aerial target at 7 km, the new radar had a range of more than 20 km.
      Making the radar's small antenna swivelable was a major problem. But after a few failed attempts, it was possible to develop a reliable mechanism.
      By mid-1971, project work had progressed to the point where the components developed by the three participating countries in the "Moskito" project could be combined in a prototype. Flight testing went surprisingly smoothly, so that the conversion of the first MiG-21F-13 to the new standard could begin in early 1972. In the GDR, the work was carried out in the aircraft factory in Dresden. Modernized aircraft were given the type designation MiG-21F-13M. The Polish aircraft were given the same designation, while the Czechs called their machines S-106M. Between 50 and 60 MiG-21F-13s were converted in each of the three countries. Czechoslovakia built another 50 new machines till 1976.
      The MiG-21F-13M saw its first combat deployment in the Yom Kippur War in 1973. The Soviet Union demanded that its allies compensate for the aircraft losses of Egypt and Syria by supplying MiG-21s. The GDR supplied the unpopular MiG-21M, while Poland and the Czechs each sent 12 MiG-21F-13Ms to Egypt. They were first deployed in the air battle of Al-Mansura, where they were able to shoot down 11 Israeli F-4Es without losing a single aircraft of their own. The Egyptian pilots were enthusiastic about the MiG-21F-13M.
      The MiG-21F-13M was flown in the GDR until 1985. In Poland and Czechoslovakia they were taken out of service in 1990. The pilots of the MiG-21F-13 loved this aircraft and considered it the best MiG-21 version ever.

    24. Deutschland 86: Block 25 F-16C/Ds Introduced to USAFE, 1986

                                            Deutschland 86: Block 25  F-16C/Ds Introduced to USAFE, 1986
       
      This mod represents the F-16C/D Block 25s introduction to service in USAFE, specifically in Germany in the mid 1980s.
      The squadrons of the 50th TFW at Hahn AB upgraded from Block 15s to Block 25s during 1986. The two squadrons of the 86th TFW at Ramstein AB swapped out their F-4E Phantom IIs for Block 25s starting at the end of 1985, although they then swapped again for Block 30s towards the end of 1986.
                  Included
      F-16C and D Block 25 aircraft
      Weapons, Effects and Sounds
                  Installation
      unzip "2 mod folder"; place contents in desired mod folder. Allow overwrites if necessary
                  Required
      copy of StrikeFighters 2: Israel for F-16 destroyed model
                  MOD NOTE
      The F-16C_25 aircraft tends to pitch up rapidly resulting in a tail strike if player does not fly carefully. This problem is noted in several FMs and as far back as the Block 25 in NATO Fighters 5. There is no fix at this time although it is more immersion killer than damaging to the aircraft. Best to keep the nose down until rotation speed (varies by load) then "pop" the aircraft off the runway and climb out.
                  History Note
      In the 526th TFS and 512th TFS skins for the F-16C_B25, the number list features serial numbers that have periods on them. these denote aircraft that could be traced to the 86th TFW, but not to a specific squadron. I utilized my best educated guesses on which squadron had which airframe. As better information comes along i will update as able.
