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.

The Mirage Factory F-14 Tomcat Super Pack V1.21 AUG. 25, 2013
 
What it is:
This is the F-14 Tomcat Super Pack v1.21 Full. It includes tweaks to the engines, avionics, weight, effects and the Phoenix missile.
 
=================
 
Installation:
 
=====CAUTION=====
1. This was tested at July 2013 patch level, on an "All 5 Merged" install, and because it uses AvionicsF14A.dll, will require SF2NA (or a TW F-14) to work! It will not work on Gen 1 sims, nor will it work correctly on pre-April 2012 installs! (Caveat: Avionics70.dll F-14D should work on pre-April patch levels).
 
2. It is HIGHLY recommended you back up your current F-14's .ini files and cockpit folders. If you have custom skins installed, be sure to back up your F-14(A/A+/B/D).ini to preserve the texture set data.
=================
 
 
1. Unzip the contents of the F-14SP_V121.7z file into a folder.
 
1a. If you have installed the Avionics70 F-14D, ensure you back up the .ini files if you haven't renamed the bird, since this install will overwrite F-14D_92, 96 and 06!
 
2. Open your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder (e.g. C:\User\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\...)
 
3. Copy the contents of the unzipped Objects folder into your SF2 mod Objects folder, allowing all files to overwrite (Objects\Aircraft and Objects\Weapons).
 
3a. (RECOMMENDED) Review the Cockpit and Avionics, and F-14 SP Update word documents for information on updates.
 
4. Go fly!
 
=================
 
 
1. Unzip the contents of the F-14SP_V121.7z file into a folder.
1a. You may choose to use the Avionics70.dll F-14D for SAR mode on strike missions. If you wish to do so, see Section 6 of the F-14 SP Update V120 word document (Para 6.1-6.3) for install procedures and recommendations.
2. Open your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder (e.g. C:\User\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\...)
3. Copy the contents of the unzipped Objects folder into your SF2 mod Objects folder, allowing all files to overwrite (Objects\Aircraft, Objects\Weapons, and Objects\Decals will be affected).
3a. (RECOMMENDED) Review the Cockpit and Avionics, and Update word documents for information on updates.
4. Go fly!

This pack inludes nearly all official Thirdwire MIG-21 models as flyable jets with
cokcpits in most complete form what my modding knowledge allows. All in easy
install form. I am not author of any 3d pits, FMs, sounds. All is what i
downloaded from Combatace or made by Thirdwire. I want to thank to original authors
of included files and this nice sim. Hope it is ok to reuse their work to
provide really complete, up-to-date and easy to install Mig-21 package. I was
always sad with that great pits available and terrible way to install it into
latest ptached games and it is always missed something. Loading screens, loadout
picture, good FM and so on... Now with latest patches FMs are usable and nicely
flyable so i used it as base FMs for pack.
This pack was done with combined/merged SF2/Europe/Vietnam/Israel games.
If your single game install missing model that cause problem, just delete its directory
in Objects/Aircraft folder. Probablby PFV is included only in Vietnam.
Pack contains folowing stuff:
*****************************
Nearly every official MIG-21 flyable with pit for SF2 line of games. I corrected
some errors in pits, Used latest TW patches as base for FM fat files
with tweaks in engine (thrust for each model, spool up time, radar, weight). FM
is not touched and i think it flies now ok with latest patch. Diferent sounds for
each engine model is included with Mig RWR sounds. Better Mig pilots too. Each
Mig-21 has loading and hangar screen and camouflage sample patch with loadout
picture. All includes corresponding serial numbers to choose from. I made
Numbers.lst for Arab, Czechoslovakia, East Germany and Poland by hand.
Strike Fighters 2
MIG-21F
MIG-21PF
MIG-21PFV
MIG-21PFM
MIG-21MF
MIG-21bis
Notes:
******
MIG-PFM has added LCOS gunsight to be able to use gunpod in fight. More realistic and
distictive heaters sounds are included too.
 
Instalation:
************
Simply unpack content of folder "StrikeFighters2" into each your SF2 game mods folder
located in your c:\Users\<YourUserName>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\.
For example for complete/merged game install, copy content to each this folder:
c:\Users\<YourUserName>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2
c:\Users\<YourUserName>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe
c:\Users\<YourUserName>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Israel
c:\Users\<YourUserName>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Vietnam
Sure paths can be different on your system. This is how it is on my Windows 7.
Also copy files after you run all games at least once. Otherwise game overwrite
modded files with original ones at initialization and you dont see Migs as flyable.
Optional files:
Simply unpack content of folder "StrikeFighters2" into each your SF2 game mods folder and
allow overwrite files.
_BetterCockpits Contains hires cockpit textures.
_EasyFM Contains easiest FM files from stock game.
_MediumFM Contains intermadiate FM files. Spins are more frequent.
_HardFM Contains hardcore FM files. Spins are almost deadly if not handled fast.
_PFGunPodLoadout Contains gunpod default loadout for air to air PF and PFV.
_ResetInis Contains ini files that are reset to default non flyable ones after game update or DLC install.
Just use it to make Migs flyable quickly again
Afterword:
**********
This version of complete MIG-21 pack is far from to be perfect or complete so feel
free to let me know if there is something missed, bad or not working. Also if
someone has some more accurate tech data for enhance FMs feel free to mail me and
pack get fixed or updated.
Finaly thanks to everyone whom work made this pack reality.

VERSION 1.1 CHANGES/ADDITIONS
-----------------------------
-New cockpit glass reflection texture.
 
-Changed AGM-114L to CGR and added Hellfire rails to the 3d
model to overcome the issue of engaging moving targets.
(Thanks to WhiteBoySamurai for this idea and thanks to
FastCargo for letting me use the 3d model of his Hellfire rail)
 
-Changed loadout types so the AH-64A cannot be loaded with the
AGM-114L Longbow Hellfire.
 
-Changed the Specular and Glossiness levels to make the skin
look more matt.
 
-New hangar and loading screens.
 
-Some FM and performance tweaks. (Thanks to EricJ for some
suggestions)
 
-Completely new M261 model made by me. I have also made the M260
rocket pod, Hydra rocket with a M229 warhead and Hydra APKWS with
a M151 warhead.
For mode info and details on the APKWS look here:

This mod has been tested with Strike Fighters 2 Full 5 merged install; it should work with individual installations of SF2V and/or SF2NA. Cockpits (not included) required in order to make the A-6 flyable.
 
Note: more screenshots available here.
 
Version 1.51 can be installed directly over version 1.5.
 
I have always loved the A-6 Intruder, and I was disappointed to see that the A-6 was not flyable by default in the SF2 series. Having been inspired by MigBuster's A-6 CCIP mod, I extracted the A-6A cockpit from WoV and started an A-6A campaign in SF2V. One thing led to another, and now I present a package that should greatly enhance your Intruder experience, or at the very least provide more variety in campaigns.
 
What the Superpack Does
This package is designed to enhance the default 3W A-6 models and skins, as well as provide additional options for all A-6 variants available. Among the things added are:
High resolution (2048x2048) skins for both classic gull grey and tactical grey schemes
Additional variants of existing skins, including differently colored radomes and low visibility details
Enhanced aircraft profiles for the loadout screens.
Additional decals, to include Modexes on flaps and historically accurate BuNos on the tails.
More historically accurate (though not organizational specific) decal size and placement for different A-6 variants.
USN Squadrons VA-42, VA-128, and VAQ-134 (H/T Wrench and Dave)
USMC Squadrons VMA(AW)-332 and VMAT(AW)-202
Entries, logos, and markings for all USN and USMC EA-6B Prowler squadrons (including reserve squadrons)
Enhanced squadron logos for many squadrons, including VA-65, VA-75, VA-85, and VA-196 (H/T Wrench for VA-75).
Enhanced hangar screens and loadscreens for each A-6 variant
Upper fuselage markings and custom wing tanks for some squadrons
Added landing lights, pylon lights, and ventral anti-collision lights to models and skins (anti-collision lights optional on pre-TRAM variants).
Further LOD enhancement, to include proper relative placement of Pilot/BN, upgraded ejection seats, and the use of USN pilot LODs.
Enhancement of Avionics, Data, and Loadout files for each variant, with particular emphasis on RWR and weapons capability.
Enhancement of MigBuster's "DIANE" CCIP mod for the A-6, with improved bombsight/fall-line graphics and compatibility with March/April 2012 patches.
Enhancement of Vietnam and North Atlantic campaigns
Addition of USMC A-6 to appropriate Europe campaigns
Complete Naval Ops integration for the original SF2 campaigns (H/T malibu43)

In addition, this mod adds the A-6B and the A-6E_90, commonly known as the Systems/Weapons Integration Program (SWIP). SWIP Intruders in SF2 have a TEWS and are capable of carrying Guided EO missiles such as the AGM-65 Maverick and AGM-84E SLAM in addition to their standard loadout. The A-6E_90 is listed in-game as the A-6E Intruder (TRAM 90) to keep the acronyms to a minimum. The default A-6E TRAM was renamed A-6E Intruder (TRAM 79).
 
What the Superpack Doesn't Do
This mod enhances default aircraft. If you don't have the default A-6 LODs, or if you prefer to use a different set of A-6 LODs, then this mod is of limited value to you. Don't expect specific organizational insignia or logo placement. I tried to be historically accurate, but since these are skins designed to be compatible with all A-6 squadrons, organizationally specific markings cannot be supported. Likewise, squadron insignia change over time, and the limitations of using the default decals prevent this evolution. Variation between organizations is best represented by subtle differences between skins assigned to the same A-6 variant (e.g. the A-6E with the white/grey nose may look slightly different than the one with the tan nose). Finally, the Superpack is unfortunately not flyable without further modification. You will need to provide your own cockpit in order to enable player use of the A-6.
 
Installation
The Superpack is divided into three sections: the Primary Components, the Campaign Mods, and the Optional Mods. There is also a folder for widescreen users that replaces the existing 1024x768 aircraft and campaign screens with 1440x900 images.
 
Primary Components
There are three primary components of the Superpack , separated by which SF2 game is required for its use. In each folder is nested the standard SF2 mod folder architecture (e.g. Objects, Sounds, Campaigns). Copy the contents of these folders to your SF2 “Mod” folder (e.g. c:\users\<username>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighters2 <xxx>) in the order listed:
1. 1_Common Files for all users
This includes decals, weapons, and an updated SQUADRONLIST.INI. Copy the contents of this folder first.
 
2. 2_for SF2V users
This includes the A-6A and A-6B. Copy the contents of this folder if you have SF2 Vietnam installed, as it requires the 3W A-6A LOD.
 
3. 3_for SF2NA users
This includes the A-6E, A-6E_79, and A-6E_90. Copy the contents of this folder if you have SF2 North Atlantic installed, as it requires the 3W A-6E and A-6E_79 LODs. This now includes Wrench’s skinpack by default (was an optional component pre 1.5).
 
Campaign Mods
These files modify the existing campaigns other than Vietnam or North Atlantic (which were included in the primary components).
4. 4_SF2 Campaigns for Full Merged Install
This is a slightly modified version of malibu43’s SF2 campaigns that integrate naval operations into the Desert theater. In addition to adding the A-6, the campaigns add other USN/USAF aircraft of the period. There is also an additional 1979 campaign called Desert Blaze, which adds the later hardware from SF2E and SF2NA, as well as incorporates Wrench’s F-111B Fleet Defense Fighter for people who have it installed.
The original SF2 campaign updates require a full 5 merged install.
 
5. 5_SF2E Campaigns for SF2E, SF2V, and SF2NA
This adds the A-6 to the original SF2E campaigns dated at least 1963. The campaigns add two USMC A-6 squadrons to the NATO side, as well as the requisite number of Su-7s to the OPFOR.
You should have at least SF2V and SF2NA installed with SF2E before adding the SF2E campaigns.
 
For Widescreen Users
Copy these folders if you have a widescreen monitor. These folders should be copied after all desired optional campaigns have been copied over, as this will overwrite campaign graphics as well as aircraft hangars and loadscreens.
 
Optional A-6 Mods
These are tweaks to the A-6s themselves, and are here to personalize and enhance your gameplay. Copy the contents these folders to your SF2 “Mod” folder. Order is not important, but some of the mods directly conflict with others and will not work properly if “stacked.” Using conflicting mods requires manual datafile manipulation which is covered in Section 5 (Manually modifying Data INI files). Compatibility issues are noted in each section.
 
6. Restricted Modexes
This mod limits the player-selectable USN modexes (side numbers) to 500-524 (400-524 for experimental green skin, per historical record), and USMC modexes to 00-24. I did this by making adjustments to the TEXTURESET.INI file. This does not appear to affect the modexes selected by the Campaign generator.
This mod has no compatibility issues with the other existing optional mods.
 
7. Pre-TRAM Anti-Collision Light Removal
The original A-6A did not have rotating anti-collision lights, as the first production aircraft pre-dated the FAA mandate for anti-collision lights in controlled airspace. To comply, the Navy and Marine Corps added a tail light (already modeled in the LOD), and for the ventral light they attached a light to the starboard side of the nosegear door. However, the lights were easily removed and pre-TRAM A-6s often flew operationally without them. This mod allows you to remove these anti-collision lights.
This mod should not be used with the A-6AB Flare Dispensers mod or the Robo-BN mod without manually modifying the A-6A_Data.ini and A-6B_Data.ini files.
 
8. A-6AB Flare Dispensers
This mod puts flares on the A-6A and A-6B. Original specifications called for only chaff, but Vietnam late war doctrine often called for the dispenser loadout to be one flare for every two chaff packs (as was documented in Stephen Coont’s Flight of the Intruder). This mod is highly recommended with the SF2E campaigns, as the A-6A would have likely been fitted with flares for a theater with such a heavy CAS role and increased air threat.
This mod cannot be “stacked” with the Pre-TRAM Anti-Collision Light Removal mod or the Robo-BN mod, but requires manual modification of the other mods instead.
 
9. Robo-BN (not for RAZBAM cockpits)
As seen in the Vietnam Air & Ground War Expansion Pack by eburger68 and malibu43, this mod drops the BN in the right seat. This mod requires that the cockpit.ini have the following line in the [CockpitSeat001] section:
OpenCockpit=TRUE
Due to the additional interior cockpit detail of the RAZBAM series of A-6 cockpits, this mod is incompatible with the RAZBAM cockpits. This mod cannot be “stacked” with the Pre-TRAM Anti-Collision Light Removal mod or the A-6AB Flare Dispensers mod.
 
Updated Weapons Loadouts and Employment
You may notice that the A-6 as of version 1.2 plays quite differently from the A-6 in previous versions. This is due in large part to malibu43’s outstanding research and contributions. For version 1.2, we have updated the weapons capabilities of all A-6 variants, removing E/O capability from the A-6A but adding the AGM-12C visually guided missile. Likewise, we added the restrictions on interior hardpoints and adjusted the Loadout files to reflect this, adding the large bomb loads to exterior pylons (and for the record, we did this prior to the May 2012 patch!). We researched historical loads and added them to the loadout files, and found that we needed to tweak some datafiles to make them work. Malibu43 tweaked the Rockeye and SnakeEye datafiles to provide proper quantities to units, and created a custom MER to allow for three Mk83 bombs to be mounted two in front, one in rear per historical procedure.
 
Additional Information
I made every effort to accurately represent the subtle changes between A-6 variants commensurate with their periods of operation. Additionally, I used actual A-6 BuNos (serial numbers), with independent BuNo pools for the A-6A, A-6B, and A-6E (TRAM variants use the A-6E pool). I have made every effort to avoid using BuNos of aircraft involved in mishaps involving fatalities, or combat losses resulting in KIA/MIA/POW. However, if I missed one that you catch, please let me know so that I can fix this in the next release. Likewise, if you have recommendations for object or detail placement, I would love to hear them.
Finally, while I made adjustments to a number squadron logos and added four additional squadrons, I don't have the time to improve the entire collection. If there is a logo you would like, please post a flat image (like a decal) so that I can directly convert it. Likewise, if you improve the logos or create your own, please submit them so that I can include them in a future release. Full credit will be provided.
 
Credits
Malibu43 was a major contributor for version 1.2, adding campaigns, custom loadouts, and custom weapon data to allow for historical employment. His research and contributions were many, which is why he is co-credited in this release.
I also received help from Wrench, and likewise used some of his skins, A-6E_79 avionics files, and templates. A big thanks goes out to Wrench.
Likewise, Wrench's A-6E TRAM Skinpack and his TRAM VA-75 skin has been included for both TRAM variants, and has been converted for use with the A-6E. VA-42 and VA-128 logos have been converted for default use from these skins. Original readme files and screenshots can be found in the Extras folder.
 
Additional Credits:
Ventral and Pylon Lights were created by RussoUK2004.
VAQ-134 decals are by Dave from his VAQ-134 EA-6B.
The decal placement, data and loadout files from the SF2V Air & Ground Expansion Pack were starting points for my work on
 
the A-6B, so thanks goes out to Malibu43 & eburger68.
Weapons included in this Superpack have been copied from Spectre8750's A-10C, FastCargo's F-15 Superpack, SF2V Air & Gound Expansion Pack by Malibu43 & eburger68, and the F-14 Superpack from The Mirage Factory (TMF).

Grumman’s F-14 Tomcat could be described as the Marilyn Monroe of aircraft designs. Both were at once beautiful and flawed, with indelible public images and yet often misunderstood and misrepresented. Both also met untimely ends. For many, the aircraft will always be remembered as the star of the hit 1986 movie Top Gun, but the Tomcat was a real weapon on the front lines of the Cold War, personifying the technological prowess and advanced production methods that the Soviet Union could not match, and which eventually drove them to break their economy in the attempt to keep up. For me personally, it will always be associated with the three years my family lived in Virginia Beach, near NAS Oceana, in the early 1980s. I vividly remember all of the jets that used to fly over our house—Skyhawks, Intruders, Phantoms and especially Tomcats. With their twin tails and swing-wings they had to be the coolest things in the air, and in retrospect I believe they really were. --c5
 
This aircraft is dedicated to our departed friend and Cheif of Production, Oli.

The Mirage Factory F-14 Tomcat Super Pack V1.32 22 APR, 2017
 
What it is:
This is the F-14 Tomcat Super Pack v1.32 Full. It includes addition of Direct Lift Control to the Flight Model, AI AIM-54 Phoenix Missiles, modified Iranian F-14 loadouts and other minor adjustments.
 
=================
 
Installation:
 
=====CAUTION=====
1. This was tested at July 2013 patch level, on an "All 5 Merged" install, as well as a "vanilla" SF2:NA install. Because it uses AvionicsF14A.dll, will require at least SF2:NA (or a TW F-14) to work! It will not work on Gen 1 sims, nor will it work correctly on pre-April 2012 installs! (Caveat: Avionics70.dll F-14D should work on pre-April patch levels).
 
2. It is HIGHLY recommended you back up your current F-14s to a back up folder. If you have extra skins installed and wish to keep your current folders, be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN to delete the cockpit folders from each aircraft folder after backing up, as this install features updated cockpits, and retention of the old folders will lead to artifacting on the RWR, VDI, and other systems. If you have custom skins installed, be sure to back up your F-14(A/A+/B/D).ini to preserve the texture set data.
=================
 
1. Unzip the contents of the F-14SP_V132.7z file into a folder.
 
1a. If you have installed the Avionics70 F-14D, ensure you back up the .ini files if you haven't renamed the bird, since this install will overwrite F-14D_92, 96 and 06!
 
2. Open your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder (e.g., C:\User\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\...)
 
3. CAUTION: (ONLY FOR PRE-v1.30 VERSIONS), DELETE THE PRE-1.30 COCKPIT FOLDERS!!! FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE ARTIFACTING ON THE VDI, HSD, RWR, AND POSSIBLY OTHER SYSTEMS!!!
 
3.a. IGNORE STEP 3 IF YOU ARE UPDATING v1.30 OR v1.31
 
4. Copy the contents of the unzipped Effects, Flight, Missions, Objects, and Sounds folders into your SF2 mod folder, allowing all files to overwrite (Effects, Flight, Missions, Objects\Aircraft, Objects\Weapons, etc).
 
4a. (RECOMMENDED) Review the flight manual for tactical employment of the F-14.
 
5. Go fly!
 
NOTE:
If this either a new install or an update to the F-14SP v1.30 or 1.31, follow the above procedure, allowing all files to overwrite. If this is an update to 1.14-1.22, follow step 3; for in-depth instructions, follow the F-14SP V132 Installation Instructions.pdf
 
=================
 
EXTRAS:
 
-You may choose to use the Avionics70.dll F-14D for SAR mode on strike missions. If you wish to do so, see Section 6 of the F-14 SP Update V132 word document (Para 6.1-6.3) for install procedures and recommendations.
 
=================
 
Aircraft Included:
 
F-14A (1974-1984, 1982-1995, 1996-2004)
Iranian F-14A (1977-2030)

Mirage 2000 French Air Force package by The Mirage Factory

F-5E For Strike Fighters 2



"Early versions pack"


 
Version History:
v.1.0: First public release. Early versions without later refinements like RWR.
 
DESCRIPTION:
 
This addon can thank its release to the work of two talented individuals, FastCargo and BPao. FastCargo created the F-5F two seaters and BPao was the man behind the original Mirage Factory F-5E model. I was fortunate enough to get permission to work on these source models, with the goals of marrying the F-5E front section to the F-5F engine and wings which were quite a lot more detailed. It was supposed to be a quick project.
 
One year later:
I have completely reworked the F-5E nose, added a lot of stuff on the original fuselage and detailed both original templates to have higher detail textures. Meanwhile Sophocles graciously allowed me to use his superb F-5A cockpit as a basis to build my F-5E cockpit, in which I have also used parts based on FastCargos unfinished T-38 cockpit.
 
Included is two versions of the earlier production F-5E: a basic version dubbed '72 and an export specific version with a larger vertical stabilizator and spine antenna. This version is dubbed '74L (L for large vertical stablizator).
 
Happy flying!
 
Mats "Centurion" Liljeroos
 
FEATURES:
SF2 standard external model
2048^2 textures with normal maps
Realistic cockpit with avionics courtesy of Crusader
FM from original MirageFactory F-5E which flies really good.

CREDITS:
Bpao and Mirage Factory crew: Orginal F-5E model and templates
FastCargo for original F-5F model
EricJ and pappychecksix for original F-5F templates and textures
Sophocles for his superb cockpit work. Every switch is a work of art.
Crusader for his ini file magic, really makes the cockpit and plane come alive.
Paulo for his mammoth decaling work which he allowed me to use. and even helped me by reworking some of it.
Me for cobbling all this together (=texturing and modeling work)
The rest of the Combat Ace community. Without you guys I would never have bothered to make it this far.
 
INSTALATTION:
Extract into mod folder of choice.
 
This by and large replaces the old F-5E by TMF, so you can go ahead and delete the F-5E aircraft folder if you have it installed.
 
NOTE:
The _74L version references the _72 versions cockpit folder, so if you aim to use the 74L standalone in some installation, copy the cockpit folder and F-5E_72_cockpit.ini file from the _72 folder to the _74L folder. Overwrite.

This is a full stand-alone pack, no other mod packs are required. This pack is a REPLACEMENT and NOT an upgrade for FastCargo's F-15 Super Pack. You cannot simply install and over-write Fastcargo's F-15 Super Pack with this pack. Nor, can you over-write this pack with Fastcargo's F-15 Super Pack. This pack contains higher resolution jpeg skin files, so if you over-write Fastcargo's pack with this one, you will never see the new skins. If you over-write this pack with Fastcargo's pack, you will lose all the latest data files for flight model, weapons loadout and etc. If you just want the upgraded skins, those skins are available separately in the Skins section of this site. A later versions of those skins are already in this pack, so please don't upgrade this pack with earlier version of Viper63a's skins. Please refer to the "Installation" section in the Readme file, it will explain how you can install this of both packs   - The Mudhen Team! This pack contains all F-15E Strike Eagle variants and above. If you want the F-15A thru D Eagle variants (including Js), you can find them here.

Anyway I decided to release slightly early because I'd like some of you to enjoy tweaking this thing, theres alot of talent out there who can make this thing great.
 
 
Absolutely no part of this is to be used in payware but moddify the model any way you wish and re distribute in your own freeware mods as you wish with no permission required from me, just give me the relevant credit.
 
The skins are Sundowners so ask him if you wish to make mods of them.
 
Enjoy...

INSTALL: Simply extract contents of "EF-2000 Typhoon" folder into your MOD folder
 
 
NOTES: Includes recent pilot and seat fix for SF2 series posted by Sundowner so this pack is as up to date as possible.
Also, again please note I only did the conversion, the guys above did the hard work.

Until the next time I bore you to death with my uniform ReadMe's that are basically an edited copy of original ones - enjoy. xD

SF2 F-22A USAF Raptors Redux 2016
by Viper63a
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
The default install of this mod pack requires SF2NA merged in your install. If you don't have SF2NA in your install base, you have to install the files in the "Non_SF2NA_Patch" folder for the avionics to function properly. See installation section for more details.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
This is my iteration/update of the F-22A Raptors originally released by the "Raptor Team". The lion's share of the work was done by the "Raptor Team" - so I DO NOT take credit for ANY of their wonderful work. What I did was upgrade the original package with various other packages released over the years (All noted in the credits). Other than that, I've recreated and tweaked the skins to my liking, added some new squadrons, and created all new decals for the planes. Comes complete with new Hangar, Loading and Loadout files as well. The original package can be downloaded with the following and/or the links in the Credits sections...
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
What's included in this mod pack?
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
Included in this package are the 7th, 14th, 22nd, 27th, 36th, 43rd, 80th, 90th, 94th, 95th, 199th, 411th, 422nd, 433rd, 493rd, and 525th USAF F-22 Squadrons. All squadrons have the complete compliment of tail numbers. Some F-22s were re-deployed from Virginia and Hawaii to Europe (Germany/England) and Asia (Korea) as a deterrence (preparation) force for the current tension in the regions.
 
Additional Skins for this pack is available here...

-------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
! As always, I recommend that you back up your mod folder before you install any new mod...just in case.
 
* To install, simply copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite as required.
 
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
 
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2...
 
* If you have a merged SF2NA installed, then you are done...If not, you have one more step...
 
Open the "\Optional\Non_SF2NA_Patch" folder and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite as required.
 
* Lastly, please read the "F-22A SoundList Add.txt" to install the sound files.
 
Now you are done...
 
Enjoy!
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
NOTE: The NON-JHMCS Pilot is the default in this pack. If you want to use the JHMCS Pilot, please update the [Pilot] section of the "F-22A_DATA.ini" file. Remove the "//" from the "PilotModelName=F22A_JHMCS" line and add "//" to the "PilotModelName=F22A_Pilot" line. And Save...

Additional Notes by FastCargo:
 
Each model of B-1B has the ability to carry the specific weapons it was authorized for during that time frame. Most of these weapons are included in this package...the preset loadouts represent typical arrangements. The weapon stations have been setup so that you can only load the type and number of weapons for each bay in the loadout screen, reflecting real life limitations.
 
Also, the maximum gross weight for takeoff at sea level is 470000 pounds...you can easily exceed this just with the default loadouts at full internal fuel weight. It is HIGHLY recommended to lower your internal fuel to 75% to get under the gross weight.
 
At full gross weight, the AI and you will require the whole runway to takeoff...you will probably not 'unstick' until close to 200 knots. At minimum weight, it should only take about half the runway and about 160 knots unstick. Also, do not rotate above 9 degrees pitch on takeoff before you leave the runway...or you will scrape the tail and may crash.
 
The FM has been through some major rework to get around the limitation that the sim has with large swing wings. The current FM setup is a compromise to allow docile handling with realistic performance. There are some weaknesses with it, mainly during mid altitude cruise flight tends to take more power than the real aircraft needs. You will find that the FM mimics the real thing in most limitations...lower altitude ceiling at full gross weight, faster roll rates with wings swept back, etc. Also, 'at the limit' handling has been much improved...much more difficult to stall at high speed. Handling is fairly carefree, simulating the real aircraft's fly by wire helping you keep the aircraft within limits. It is still possible to overG or stall...with bad consequences for both.
 
For mission planning and the AI, the sim uses the 'CruiseSpeed' parameter to determine attack speed, and the LevelBombAI, ReleaseAlt to determine how high it's attack run is. Because of this, you may find the parameters for both to be different for each model. Here is the current list for each one:
 
B-1B_86 - Speed-540 knots / Alt 1500 feet
B-1B_92 - Speed-540 knots / Alt 1500 feet
B-1B_96 - Speed-540 knots / Alt 600 feet
B-1B_98 and 03 - Speed-320 knots / Alt 15000 feet
 
The 2 later models are high and slow because they mostly do standoff and PGMs, which usually require altitude.
The 2 earliest models are low alt, high speed for the nuke mission to get away from the blast (btw, you will NEED .9 mach and 1300 AGL to drop a gravity nuke...or you won't make it out of the blast radius).
The middle model is same speed, but lower altitude because they didn't carry nukes anymore.
 
We did our best. Enjoy.

I used ianh755's updated V4.0 version of Dave & Sundowners original Tornado GR1 & GR4 series and F3 cockpit.
All included models are optimized for
. 
1st, the most important thing.
If you want to enjoy low level flying, you must change missioncontrol.ini file !
 
BACKUP ORIGINAL VALUES !!!
 
Then use our missioncontrol, that you can find as archive in our pack.
 
=======================================================================================
Patch 2.3 b
--------------
We promise this is last patch for GR.1 ;-))
Now we are going for GR.4 .
We corrected:
 
1) some bugs in cockpit
2) HUD (it's reworked to look more like real Tornado, thx to Fanatic Modder documentation)
3) AI attacks for british planes
4) removed Lightening pod from BL755 loadout for german ECR
 
we added:
1) open canopy animation for cockpit view (thx ravenclaw for 3d lessons)
PRESS -> SHIFT + 3 to see animation.
2) missed oil pressure indicators
 

Patch 2.3 a
--------------
 
We corrected:
 
1) Problem with wing tip vortex
2) Rudder secondary input
3) Landing speed
4) SPILS system settings
5) Fuel quantity for Saudi GR.1
6) Engines altitude power tables.
7) missing outer wing weapon stations for GR.1 82
8) ECM for brit and saudi planes moved back to pods from fuselage.
 
we added:
1) New Sky Shadow 3d model
 
We also did some small lift for steering sensitivity.
 
=======================================================================================
Fanatic Modder's and Guuruu's Tornado GR.1 version 2.3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
So,
 
This is really serious upgrade .
Only Tornado GR.1, IDS and ECR are in this pack.
 
What is new ?
-------------------
 
We tried to get flight model as close to real Tornado as possible, so aerodynamic model
is new .
All planes have correct (reworked) engines, wing-sweep positions, max G for turning and
new cockpits (with lots of working lights).
We tested their acceleration, fuel consumption (it's still not perfect but better it was),
turning and climb rate.
We also added correct skin for Italian IDS 81 .
Weapons are no longer separate download, also missioncontrol.ini is inside of pack.
 
We decided to remove GR.4 from this files. She is far from finish and will be published
as separate files.
 
You will find 11 planes in this pack:
 
RAF:
-----
GR1 82 Early production
GR1 90 Better engines, more weapons than 82 model (in fact it is GR.1B with Sea Eagles)
I thought there is no sense to create same plane with only +Sea Eagles.
GR1 90 DESERT STORM Simply GR1 90 with desert camo (plane and weapons)
GR1A Recon version of GR1 90
 
Luftwaffe:
------------
GERMAN ECR HARM armed Tornado with Mk.105 engines
GERMAN IDS 79 similar to GR1 82
GERMAN Marineflieger IDS (with Kormorans and HARMs)
GERMAN IDS 06 which is continuation of Marine IDS after they were transferd to Luftwaffe.
 
Italians:
---------
ITALIAN ECR as german ECR but Italians didn't replace engines for Mk.105 and they use GPS JDAMS
ITALIAN IDS 81 very close to german IDS, can use JP233 insteed MW1
 
Saudi Arabia:
-----------------
SAUDI GR1 93 similar to british GR1 90
 
SKINS:
--------
Every plane has only 1 skin.

BETA!
 
F/A-18A/C. This package is beta and to be honest we are all sick of looking at it. So here is the deal. You find something wrong and the community agrees, send it to me and I will keep the package updated. We just need fresh eyes on it. There is a new pit by Brain32 that is amazing.
 
The Hornet Team:
Original Model by BPAO and the Mirage Factory, updated by FastCargo.
New pit by Brain32 with Crusader, Brain and CB34 doing the avionics.
Skins by Siddog, Dave and EricJ.
Crash test Dummy: Caeser
Pilots: by Diego
Seats: Julhelm and Ravenclaw
Weapons by Ravenclaw, wpnssgt and others.
Loadouts and variant shred out by CrazyhorseB34 who put a lot of effort into researching this part of the package. Its highly recommended you use the loads he made or you will have problems.
 
If I forgot anyone let me know in a PM and I will correct it.
 
To install:
C:\Users\xxxxxxx\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 directory.
