Beriev Be-6

By Inostrancevia

The Beriev Be-6 "Madge" was a flying boat produced by the Soviet Beriev OKB. It was capable of accomplishing a wide variety of missions, such as long-range maritime reconnaissance, coastal and supply line patrols, torpedo/bombing strikes, mine-laying, and transport operations. The Be-6 was built from 1949 to 1957 at the Beriev plant in Taganrog .

NOTICE:
model still have no moving propellers and the clearance from the ground is higher than should be, because original Model is built as static one and is half-inserted into the ground.
also rear gunner is not placed in position (it will be done with next update)

F-102A RAZBAM pack v1.0

By FANATIC MODDER

YOU NEED RAZBAM F-102A FOR USING THIS PACK
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had this reworked F-102A in my HD for a long time.
I have combined Paulopanz 's skinpack in RAZBAM with my own improvements.
I made a complete rework of the performance specs, engine data, cockpit and avionic mods, new pilots, and ravenclaw weapons with completely new loadouts.
There is also
- a Vietnam specific version that can fire Air to Ground AIM-4s, converted by me, and SUU-11 pods.
- a HAF specific version which is not much more than deleted AIM-26 capability in case X aircraft and a new pilot.
Credits must really go to
- RAZBAM
- Paulopanz
- Ravenclaw
Known issues - the SUU-11 pods are not placed correctly. I didn't have time to fix it. I hope someone will fix them.
EDIT:
1) About the weapons:
- For some reason I have Ravenclaw's AIM-4E but not the AIM-4F and AIM-4G. If someone has them, please notify me to include them in the pack.
- This is the first actual use of Ravenclaw's AIM-26s. I was really surprised to realize that the AIM-26s were actually used only in the updated F-102s. It is weird that the AIM-26s were not used in the F-101Bs and the F-106s
- I have included the AIM-4F also. I cannot remember exactly, but the AIM-4F was actually carried by the F-102A, I am not sure if it was certified for actual combat use or only for testing (F-102s were used as development planes for the F-106). My final conclusion is that the AIM-4Fs were not issued into operational service with the F-102As simply because they were not enough AIM-4E/F/Gs made, barely enough for the F-106A alone.
2) I have not included a READ ME file, which I think I will do in the future.
3) a possible update would fix the SUU-11 issue plus improved avionics, if someone has some suggestions for further improvements please PM me.

Sabre Dogs - In USAF service.

By yakarov79

Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.)
Install:
Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination.
A fake pilot is required to run this mod.

New model of F-86D and L as used by USAF. Set includes 3 variants which in the game you will find under the prefix *USAF.
F-86D-25 Sabre Dog -early variant without assisting drag chute (Block 10-40). most of them were later upgraded to D-45 standard - (block D-16-46) It is named here D-25- - despite differences in block builds 25 was the first to introduce external fuel tanks and was a baseline for further blocks.
F-86D-45 Sabre Dog -drag chute equipped variant - (Block 45-60) Named D-45 as it was the first of the line with drag chute housing and some other minor modifications.
F-86L-61 Lima Dog - L model - upgraded airframes with data link SAGE system (not in-game) and 6-3 wings. All are rebuilds of D models - (Block 11-60)

All skins are in 3072x3072 format.
Skins represent all squadrons (71) but three*, USAF Interceptor squadrons that ever used F-86D/L
All squadrons have set skins to StartDefaultDate= into a period that particular model/paint scheme was used.
* I did not include 3 squadrons as I was not able to find any single reference photo (probably no special markings were used as those squadrons lived for only a few months, but still reference would matter to me)
Because this mod was evolving through time, I was not entirely sure how I was going to proceed. So some squadrons have correct serial numbers for a particular year, Others use decals from three decal folders representing airframes build- blk45-50, blk 55-60 and L blk11-61.
Some aircraft have some special markings (C.O. stripes etc.) and some have nosearts. Since the serial numbers list is always around 600 airframes it will appear on proper aircraft, You just have to find them in game.

I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea.
There is a small ini change in the cockpit and avionics ini. I changed a little angle of the radar scope.
It uses only the Mk4 Mighty Mouse rocket as a weapon. And yes it is possible to fight enemy bombers.
Additionally, I added a special "weapon" for D-45 - that will be loaded automatically after 1956 - 'F-86D_sugarscoops' the same as on the L model introduced to remaining D airframes. This is just a visual upgrade, not really a weapon.

Sabre Dogs - In Far East Asia

By yakarov79

Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.)
Install:
Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination.
A fake pilot is required to run this mod.

New model of F-86D as used by far East Asian countries. The set includes the Republic of China Air Force, South Korea Air Force, and the Philippine Air Force.
Do not overwrite any old files that you might downloaded here in CA. Make a backup of old files or rename new ones. But definitely do not mix any files of the old F-86 with this new one.
In the game, you will find it under the prefix * F-86D Sabre Dog
I fixed data files a little - collision points and hitboxes..as the previous ones were quite weird. However, I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea or coffee.
All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed.
Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in a particular year. Or I believe it does.

Credits.

AVIC Shenyang J-35 Beta

By simonmiller416

Beta Version.

In case someone don’t know much about them,
J-35 is 5-Gen stealth multirole fighter from the mysterious country in the East too. It is designed for air superiority and strike missions and powered by two medium-thrust turbofan engines the WS-19,and in theory, it has similar situational awareness and collaborative combat capabilities as the J-20.In addition to being an advanced naval tactical fighter, it will also gradually replace the old third and fourth generation fighters in the PLAAF inventory such as the J-10 in the future.
On October 29, 2021,carrier-based variant made its maiden flight,air force variant on September 26, 2023. PLAAF Officially revealed the J-35A on November 5, 2024.
===========================================================================================================
What does this mod probably have?
(1) It contains 1 birds, J-35
①J-35,Navy type,aircraft carrier based variant with a catapult launch bar and folded wings;
(2) Cockpit from J-20s;
(3) The Chinese alarm audio generated by AI, of course, fabricated. There are related videos circulating on the Internet that prove the existence of cockpit voice, but we are unable to determine the exact content;
===========================================================================================================
3.Usage:
Unzip and copy Sounds, Effects and Objects these 3 folder to where your game is installed;
===========================================================================================================
Note:
(1) No weapons included. Due to potential maintenance needs, I made a separate PLAAF weapon pack, you need to download it separately, I'm sorry if it causes you any inconvenience;

(2) Like the J-20 and F-22,the J-35 uses AESA radar too, I set a higher scanning frequency and strength to avoid the disadvantages of traditional mechanical scanning radar and improve the resistance to old type of ECM;
(3) IRL, there is no sign that the J-35 carries a cannon so far,just as J-20,but I still add rumored 4x23 rotary cannon;
(4) After referring to the prototype FC-31, I decided to only set 4 stations for the weapons bay, which makes it lack the means to mount SRAAM, so I set station 1 and 2 under the wings as PL-10 stations, which is similar to the F-35, kinda "What If";
(5) At the time this model was made, there weren’t a lot of reference images, so there is a certain degree of “distortion”, and I did what I could when I made the further adjustments;
===========================================================================================================
Credits:
1.Ice is silent water (off-site user,I purchased all resources from him);
2.Me (base on orignal resources, add a lot of detail objects,do a lots of animation and texture works);
3.T'Ilacis (off-site user,decals);
===========================================================================================================
Special Thanks:

2.Crusader（For parts of HUD textures）

AVIC Chengdu J-20 series pack Beta

By simonmiller416

Beta version,it means not 100% complete, but almost there
===========================================================================================================
In case someone don’t know much about them, the J-20 is a 5-gen stealth twin-engine fighter from the mysterious country in the East.
The first verification aircraft completed its first test flight in 2011 and entered service with the Chinese PLA Air Force in 2017. It has been used in the past It has undergone numerous major or minor upgrades and improvements in more than ten years, giving it excellent low detectability (stealth capability), omnidirectional situational awareness, powerful radar and breakthrough collaborative combat capabilities.
===========================================================================================================
1.What does this mod probably have?
(1) First, it contains 3 advanced birds, J-20, J-20A and J-20S.
① J-20 is the basic single-seat model;
② J-20A is upgrade model with better aerodynamic design and better engine WS-15;
③ J-20S, was first spotted in 2022. Most people speculate that it will serve as a "loyal wingman" command unit;
(2) Independent cockpit, but it should be noted that this cockpit is fabricated out of thin air and does not represent the real appearance of the J-20 cockpit. It is only based on vague news videos and simulation cockpit pictures at air shows. ;
(3) The Chinese alarm audio generated by AI, of course, fabricated. There are related videos circulating on the Internet that prove the existence of cockpit voice, but we are unable to determine the exact content;
===========================================================================================================
2.Usage:
Unzip and copy Sounds, Effects and Objects these 3 folder to where your game is installed;
===========================================================================================================
3.Note:
(1) No weapons included. Due to potential maintenance needs, I made a separate PLAAF weapon pack, you need to download it separately, I'm sorry if it causes you any inconvenience;
(2) Since the J-20s uses the same AESA radar as F-22, I set a higher scanning frequency and strength to avoid the disadvantages of traditional mechanical scanning radar and improve the resistance to old type of ECM;
Of course, based on SF2 game, there is essentially no difference between them, except that the player's operation will be more comfortable; I have performed the same operation on all similar radars of the same era in my own game, and for myself Said they did a good job, but I don't know if that would be a bit IMBA for you guys.
(3) IRL, there is no sign that the J-20 carries a cannon, so I did not equip the 20 and 20S models with cannons, Hit and Run!
But J-20A, however, for the purpose of gameplay, I added a rumored 4x23 rotary cannon to give the J-20A a "What If" look.
Moreover, the current J-20 in reality has no signs of using any air to ground weapons, so I designed it as a pure air superiority fighter and used the avionics module dll of the F14A to enable it to track and attack four targets at the same time, which removes the ability to scan the ground objects, even though EOTS is still available.
About J-20A/S, since there is only speculation about how it works, I regard it as a multi-role fighter and hope that it will have complete ground attack capabilities, so the 70s avionics module is used to detect ground targets.
===========================================================================================================
4.Credits:
1.Ice is silent water (off-site user,I purchased all resources from him);
2.Me (base on orignal resources, add a lot of detail objects,do a lots of animation and texture works);
3.T'Ilacis (off-site user,decals);
===========================================================================================================
5.Special Thanks:
1.yakarov79, logan4, Sundowner（Teach me lots of basic modding skill）
2.Wrench (Also gave me hints in the formation lights question, but I especially want to thank him for the extra “modding help”)
3.EricJ,Menrva（Great ideas in my modding process）
4.JAT81500（For the JHMCS/pilot mod）
5.Crusader（For parts of HUD textures）

Of course, there are far more than these people. In the knowledge base of the forum, many people's detailed discussions have given me a certain level of foundation for modding through years of ini editing.
It can be said that most of the people here have helped me indirectly.
If I forgot to mention you who also contributed, please be sure to let me know as soon as possible.
In the end, the most in need of thanks is TK, which allows this high-degree-of-freedom game to appear.

F-8K & F-8L Crusader (TW DLC)

By dtmdragon

Third Wire F-8K & F-8L Crusader 1.0

This pack is a TW DLC enhancement. So it's needed to work.
Included is the F-8K with data/ avionic/ effect/ sound corrections for accuracy, as well as modification of the Third Wire DLC F-8K Crusader model into the F-8L model Crusader.

F-8K
-   The F-8K is the F-8C airframes rebuilt to extend their service life starting in 1969. It is updated with the same underwing pylons as F-8E, but it did not receive any engine or avionics updates. The F-8K was used mainly by the Marines squadrons in the States and did not see any combat.
F-8L
-   The F-8L is the F-8B airframes rebuilt to extend their service life starting in 1969. It is updated with the same wing as the F-8H as well as the landing gear from the F-8D/ E, but it did not receive any engine or avionics updates. The F-8L was used mainly by the Reserve squadrons in the States and did not see any combat.

To install:
1, Unpack and drop into your main mods folder.
2, Override when prompted.

Credits:
-   F-8 DATA & LOADOUT v1.0 update by FANATIC MODDER.
-   SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion v.2.0 Gold by Eburger68 and team.
-   Weapons by Ravenclaw_007.

CombatAce fair use agreement applies.

Enjoy,
Dan.

Viper Dawn : First USAF F-16A Block 10s (for TW F-16A)

    Viper Dawn : First USAF F-16A Block 10s (for TW F-16A)
This mod utilizes the stock TW F-16A Netz and previous work to represent the first three operational USAF F-16A wings (not the training wings). Featuring historical serial numbers for each unit, and markings to reflect the eras this is the most accurate skin representation of the early block (1/5/10) F-16s to date. I use the same TW model for all three as the biggest visible difference in the three was the black radome on the Block 1s. I represented this via decal for the appropriate serial numbers and they were all delivered to the 388th TFW in in 1979. Otherwise it would be impossible to distiguish between teh three models in game.
    Included
- 2 363rd TFW skins for the 17th TFS "Owls" and 19th TFS "Gamecocks". Note the 17th would go on to rename as the Hooters after they transitioned to the C/D model F-16
- 4 388th TFW skins, represented these units in operation from the first USAF Vipers in 1979 until their transition to Block 15s in 1983
- 12 474th TFW skins. The 474th operated the Block 10 from late 1980 until the wing was disbanded in late 1989. These dozen skins reflect some of teh marking changes for the three squadrons over nearly a decade of service
- weapons in use by the early Vipers in the early 1980s, with some ini tweaks by myself
    Required
valid copy of Strike Fighters 2: Israel
    Instructions
unzip, unload contents of "2 Mod folder" into mod folder of your choice. allow overwrites if needed
NOTE: there are two previous F-16A Block 10 mods based on the TW model. this mod is based on them, but with improvement. because they leverage the TW model and are image and ini only, i have kept teh basic inis in this release for your convienence. But it was made much easier to create standing on their shoulders
    ****************NOTE***************
This mod heavily leverages decals that are meant for a Team Viper Block 10 set, and feature decals and number list entries for the B models as well. Due to lack of a TW two seat F-16, these are restricted by ini
however, when a Team Viper Block 10 becomes available, the decal set here will be ready to go speeding up release of this skin set for the new models.

SF2 Tu-16 Badger Pack by Pasko

By Wrench

SF2 Tu-16 Badger Pack by Pasko 11/1/2024
-For SF2, Full 5 Merged REQUIRED. Must Have SF2:NA!!!!!)
-Another 1stGen Salvage Operation-
This is a revamp of Pasko's Tu-16 Badger(s) from SF1 to SF2 "standards". This package contains the 3 variants of the Badger he and his team created 'way back in 2005. As stated above, a full-5 merged install is required; or at =LEAST= having SF2:NA in the merged install. This is because the Cruise Missile versions use the stock 3W cruise missiles (Although I've supplied the early versions).
The 3 aircraft included herein are ...
Tu-16 Badger-A (free fall bombs only)
Tu-16K-10-26 Badger C (cruise missiles only; 1 centerline, 2 wing mounted)
Tu-16G Badger K (2 cruise missiles, wing mounted only)
A cockpit is supplied for each, with a working bombsight for the standard bomber. (See notes about the issues flying bombers in SF2). All weapons, execpting the KS-1 & KSR-2 missiles are stock 3W items (FAB, RBK, K10S). All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All new Hangar and Loading screens have also been included, for you enjoyment.
The aircraft are supplied with a number skins for the varying Air Force users. Some (re)use their original 1stGen decals, with a slight repaint to stop any 'fuzziness'. Many decals used (for Middle East and Soviet birds) are stock items. You'll get:
Tu-16A:
Soviet Silver
Ukraine Silver (<1991)
Egypt AF Silver (<1966)
Iraq Silver (<1973)
Indonesia Silver (<1961)
PLAAF China Sliver (<1959)
Iraq Green Stripe Camo (<1978)*
Iraq Sand/Green Camo (<1980)*
Tu-16C:
Soviet Naval Aviation Silver (blue borts)
Tu-16G:
Soviet Naval Aviation Silver (blue borts)
As indicated above, you can see the the SF2 "date switch" is active. The star (*) tagged above indicates these years are "best guess". When possible the original readme for all skins are within each skin folder, and notes are sometimes made on the textureset.ini. The PLAAF bird only gets 24 bort number decals, which are (hopefully!) historically correct and nearly the right color blue <grin>! Pilot figures are also included. For exact in-game usage for the C & G models, I'd suggest giving their data inis a looksee, as they have several Secondary Roles to fulfill.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
Tu-16 Badger-A (Pasko)
Tu-16K-10-26 Badger C (Pasko)
Tu-16G Badger K (Pasko)
The (Pasko) differentializes these from the stock 3W Badgers (and any mods thereof). So you can't mistook them for anything other than what they is.
As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included. The 'Change Log' is of course, in the Notes section below.
Good Hunting & Happy Landings!

BAC Strikemaster Mk. 80/81/82/83/88

By paulopanz

The Strikemaster is essentially an armed version of the Jet Provost T Mk 5. Various improvements and alterations were made to the aircraft, including an uprated Armstrong Siddeley Viper turbojet engine, wing hardpoints capable of carrying a wide variety of munitions, a pair of machine guns under the intakes, uprated flap system with two jacks, enlarged airbrake jacks, new communication and navigation gear, different electrical system, canopy breakers on the ejection seats, and a revised fuel system including tip tanks on the wing tips.
First flown in 1967, the aircraft was typically marketed as a light attack or counter-insurgency aircraft, however, the majority of customers were air forces seeking an advanced trainer. The Strikemaster did see combat on multiple occasions in the service of Ecuador, Oman and Yemen. A total of 146 aircraft were produced prior to the end of production in 1983. The type remaining flying into the 2020s, albeit with increasing difficulty due to a decreasing supply of spare parts over time.
WHAT'S IN:
- Strikemaster Mk80    Saudi Arabia     (47 planes)        3 skins
- Strikemaster Mk81    South Yemen    ( 4 planes)        1 skin
- Strikemaster Mk82    Oman                 (25 planes)        2 skins
- Strikemaster Mk83    Kuwait                (12 planes)        1 skin
- Strikemaster Mk88    New Zealand     (16 planes)        2 skins
CREDITS:
- russouk2004: original model
- pappychksix: all skins
- paulopanz: decals, hangars, screens, drop tanks paint, skins little editings, ini dance, packaging etc etc.
TO INSTALL:
- put all in your main mod folder and overwrite

NOTE:
TW simulations allow us to add proper historical serials, numbers, letters and nose arts to each plane.
Best models with serials, numbers and letters painted on textures for me are a real waste. All planes (as black cats at night ...) are the same ...

So our friend Pete allowed me to make decals (I have a real decals factory yet ...) for his great skins and this is the final product.
I think that outstanding Russo's plane really needed this work to shine.
I hope you like this pack, as I liked to buid this up.
If Pete will skin Mk84, Mk89 and Mk90 (with his own super templates) too I'll be glad to add them.
If someone'll tweak a better flight model I'll add too.
Any improve'll be welcome.
Aren't we a community?
Enjoy!

Phinal Photos: RF-4C in USAF Service After Desert Storm: A TMF Rebuilt project

                                               Phinal Photos: RF-4C in USAF Service After Desert Storm
         A TMF Rebuilt project
This mod represents the phinal years of the Photo Phantom n USAF service. It includes a new RF-4C_91 model that features Sidewinder missile capability. While only a couple dozen RF-4Cs were wired for AIM-9 carriage, they served in the Alabama and Nevada Air National Guards while they did. Therefore, I placed the skins for those units in the _91 model's folder
            Required
a functional copy of any Strike Fighters 2 game except for SF2 North Atlantic (the only one without a native F-4 destroyed model)
The aircraft from the TMF Rebuilt RF-4C Late set, available here: https://combatace.com/files/file/18263-late-model-rf-4cs-photo-phantoms-after-vietnam/
(if you already downloaded this then you dont need to do it again)
            Included
3 RF-4C aircraft folders
- RF-4C_85: skins only (12th RS, 173rd RS Nebraska ANG)
- RF-4C_91: new aircraft with several Nevada and Alabama skins, and Sidewinder capability. Photo flash bays restricted to one or the other to make room for this capability, but photo flashes were not used as much in the phinal years.
- RF-4C_ARN_101: skin (12th RS) and data_ini adjustment (extends years to 1992 from original 1990)
2 decal folders
NOTE: most weapons, pilots, effects and sounds are already included in the original Rebuilt set. only AIM-9s for the _91 are included here

            Credits
-The Mirage Factory        the very original aircraft (see TMF Readme)
-ravenclaw_007             original model, RF-4 pit
-Sundowner                     further modifications to model and pit, effects for new photoflash bombs
-daddyairplanes          skins, tgas, multiple ini edits, creation of 4 distinct aircraft from one model
-guruu             sounds
-NightshadeP/R             testing. Nightshade often shows me my errors in screenshots he's just sharing for fun, while Menrva helps me with the more technical aspects
-Sundowner, ravenclaw_007,
yakarov79 and daddyairplanes    templates are a mix of layers as contributed by these four. compiled in current form by daddyairplanes
            Special Thanks
* to Sundowner for supporting this project. He was kind enough to hand me this ball and let me run with it and even make additional features as I requested them
* to ET Brown, Gary Chambers and other members of the 106th Tac Recon Squadron page on Facebook. These Alabama Air Guardsmen veterans helped greatly and the "106th RS 94" skin features the crew chiefs on the nose just as the real aircraft had in the final 6 months.
            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.

thank you for downloading this mod, i hope you enjoy phlying it as much as i did creating it

This model is a is yet another rebuild of the old TMF max files which I was working on from the very outset.
.
It is is no way designed to compete or to relpace the versions released by daddyairplanes, so dont try to use those skins on this model....the maps are different.
The RF4-C nose has had a complete rebuild since the DA version as the nose profile is completly wrong along with more accurate air conditioner intakes and camera windows etc, etc
The fuselage also got rebuilt to cure many shape issues and to give a more accurate undersides.
Too many small fixes to list
DO NOT INSTALL OVER ANY RF-4C-65 MODELS YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE..................re name this one!
Please read the readme....it's for your benefit not mine.

Super Hornet Package for SF2 v4.1

By EricJ

THIS IS NOT UNDER THE COMBATACE FREEWARE LICENSE ACCORD

YOU MAY

- Have fun with this mod
- Use it as you see fit once you download it, even modify it as you see fit
- Create your own textures as you see fit and upload them under your name

IF you wish to send me any modified core files (I don't need to review skins as that doesn't affect any core files) please PM me the modified files and I will check them out. There is no exception to this policy given my attitude towards staying out of jail. I will check them out and yay or nay the decision, but if I can edit any files in order to not go to jail, I will inform you and that will be it. I understand you may have information of a sensitive nature that you may have access to and frankly it does not belong in any files of this download. If that bothers you then please don't send me sensitive information, I think I've made it clear that I'm not going to jail in order to appease to players.
