    1. Turkish Air Force AC-130U Spooky

      C-130 “Hercules” is one of the cornerstones of the Aviation History and it may be considered as one of the most successful cargo planes with its innovative design in which traces of “Kelly” Johnson’s works may be found.
      After having contracted for 2 prototypes on July 11, 1951, Lockheed committed the first to its maiden flight on August 23, 1954. The marriage of a new and innovative cargo plane design with the great power output of turboprop engines was viewed as very promising by the military, who quickly placed a large order, assigning them to the Tactical Air Command (TAC) as quickly as they became available, starting in December 1956.
      The long list of Hercules applications for the more than 1,500 built and delivered to all the military services includes; gunships, drone carrier/launch/control, missile tracking, space capsule retrieval, mapping, search and rescue, STOL research, weather reconnaisance, refueling tanker (including helicopters), assault transport, and command/communications. In addition, a stretched version was built for civilian cargo hauling.
      The C-130 was originally designed as an assault transport capable of operating from unpaved, hastily prepared airstrips. It  could transport up to 92 combat troops and their gear or 45,000 pounds of cargo. Where facilities were inadequate, the Hercules could deliver its cargo by parachute or by low altitude ground-cable extraction without landing.
      Twenty-eight C-130s were also converted to side-firing gunships, called AC-130 “Gunship” and they were primarily used for night attacks against ground targets during the Vietnam War.

    2. Armstrong Whitworth Meteor NF.11

      Although based on the T.7 twin seater, it used the fuselage and tail of the F.8, and the longer wings of the F.3.
      An extended nose contained the AI Mk 10 (the 1940s Westinghouse SCR-720) Air Intercept radar.
      As a consequence the 20 mm cannons were moved into the wings, outboard of the engines.
      A ventral fuel tank and wing mounted drop tanks completed the Armstrong Whitworth Meteor NF.11
      268 RAF, 25 BAF, 20 RDAF, 41 AA
      What's in:
      - a new plane
      - 27 RAF, BAF, AA, RDAF skins

    7. SF2 OV-10A Bronco, Remod Pack

      SF2 OV-1A Bronco, Remod Pack       7/27/2019
      -For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Reccomended)
      This is an remod of the North American OV-10A Bronco FAC and light attack aircraft, previously available. While there are still several issues (documented in "Notes"), it is in as good a shape as possible for SF2 without having someone build an entirely new LOD. If you have ANY previous versions, you are STRONGLY advised to back them up or delete them from you Mods folder(s). This includes the aircraft, decals, etc.
      There are 9 skin and decal sets in this package. Skins remain in their original bmp format. Many decals have been refreshed to remove any "ghosting" around their edges. The SF2 "date switch" =IS= active on several skins. Included are the pilot figures, the drop tank and sounds. All weapons used on the aircraft are STOCK 3W items.
      The skins included are:
      USAF:
      20th TASS Overall Gray (1969<)
      19th TASS (USAF Camo1) 
      19th TASS Euro 1 (3-tone Gray/Greens)
      USN:
      VAL-4 "Black Ponies" (1969-72 SEA)
      USMC:
      HMLA-267 (1968-71)
      VMO-2 (1968-1979)
      VMO-2 (Desert Camo)(1990<)
      VMO-6 (1968-77)
      USMC Camo1 (3-tone Gray)
      As is always reccommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. Please read the notes section for more information and the change log. USAFMTL's original 2009 readme is included, in the main aircraft folder, for historical purposes.

      Good Hunting!

    10. Jet Provost.7Z

      Freeware FS2002 \FSX model adapted by me Russouk2004
      This model is NOT to be uploaded to ANY site apart from here at CombatAce.com.
      This model isnt brilliant but ive spent a long while fixing bits ,remaking bits,altering mapping that used sub objects(more than 1 texture per mesh) as game doesnt support it.
      I will upload a base texture with wireframe and labelled parts in day or so...as I couldnt find any templates anywhere..and I did look...ages....
      Original model by Rick Piper....
      Despite some of the the original readme wording quoted bottom,...this model IS allowed to be shared as its now 100% Freeware,though obvioulsy some rules apply...no back engineering to use parts for something else....just sensible usage.
      Only fair use and NON commercial use is ALLOWED...
      Model used is not bad,and as I pointed out,took a lot to sort it for SF2 usage...had basically to stitch the meshes together,even polys....
      Also included are..
      Pilot and Copilot model...
      Correct seat...
      sounds...
      Low poly Distance LOD
      Also LOD for those who dont want self illuminated lights...(nav lights and nose light) just replace as required.
      Uses Starys Cockpit for the Saab 105,minus few parts I "removed" with ini dance...
      I added some of its performance characteristics where I was able to,limited by my knowledge of the flight data in SF2 lol...
      anyone wishing to better its flight data go ahead...
      also
      Lights arent perfect so feel free to fiddle with them...if you desire.and share results
      This model has no weapons as its a trainer....if required I can knock up some pylons as later versions did have some before it became the Full Strikemaster version.
      any bugs let me know ASAP at CA.....enjoy the A\C and hopefully it well get upgraded....
      usual routine....drop folders into Mod folder and appropriate sub folders.
      cheers

    11. SF2 Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation Pack by RussoUK

      SF2 Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation Pack by RussoUK       8/20/2020
      -For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
      "Quarantine Approved - Essential Mods"
      This package contains a new aircraft, the Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation airliner.
      The aircraft is presented in the livery of Trans World Airlines (TWA) as seen in the 1950s; the heyday of the properller-driven airliner.
      Company markings are painted on, but 18 100% historical registration number and aircraft name ("Star of ***") decals are provided. Decal randomization is TRUE. The aircraft has a cockpit, so you can fly it if you wish. But as with all the TRANSPORT aircraft, leaving them in AI hands is reccommended. All sounds, pilots, etc have been included. 
      When in game, on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown menu, you'll see:
      Lockheed L1049 Constellation (R)
      Hopefully, will differentiate it from any other civil Constellations that may (or may not) be available. The "R" stands for RussoUK, the model maker.
      As is always reccommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. Also, the credits list all the original FSX model & skin creators.
      Happy Landings!

    12. Avro Shackleton Mk.2 AEW = repacked =

      During the 1970s, the Shackleton was replaced in the maritime patrol role by the jet-powered Hawker Siddeley Nimrod. During its later life, a small number of the RAF's existing Shackletons received extensive modifications in order to adapt them to perform the airborne early warning (AEW) role. The type continued to be used in this support capacity
      until 1991, when it was replaced by the Boeing E-3 Sentry AEW aircraft. These were the last examples of the type remaining in active service.
      What's In:
      - a plane
      - 3 skins (1 fixed and 2 new)
      - decals (nose arts included)
      Credits:
      - model: Veltro2k
      - original templates, original  serial numbers and screens: Wrench
      - original decals (squadron band): Spinners
      - skins, decals tweaks, etc: Paulopanz
       
      Install:
      - all in your mod folder
      Note:
      This is realy a great add-on and a most needed AEW plane.
      I'ld like to take care of ALL other Shackleton variants too, if Veltro'll like it.

      -For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 Merged Recommended)
      "Quarantine Approved - Essential Mods"
      This package contains a new aircraft, the McDonnell F2H-2 Banshee, as used by the US Navy during the Korean War. That being said, this package =ONLY= contains those units that participated in the conflict. There are 4 units (skins) included in this package. In chronological order:
      VF-172 Blue Bolts (USS ESSEX, 1951)
      VF-11 Red Rippers (USS KEARSARGE, 1952)
      VF-22 Cavaliers -
      VF-62 Gladiators (both aboard USS LAKE CHAMPLAIN, 1953)
      The textureset inis for all skins has a listing of the exact dates of deployment.
      All markings, excepting squadron color bands, are decals. Decal Randomization is TRUE. 24 Modex numbers are supplied for each unit. The 24 'data plaque" BuNums are a pool shared among all the aircraft. Those units that are listed in the game's Squadron List, have their Displayed Name activated by my Patent-Pending 'Fake SqTail' decal. All weapons, sounds, and a pilot figure are supplied. New "box-art" style hangar and loading screens are also included, as is a spare "photo" style loading screen if you get bored with the painting.
      Wingfold and canopy operations are the Standard Animation Keystrokes (tm), Shift/0 (zero) for the canopy, and Shift/9 for the wings.
      When in-game, you'll see
      F2H-2 Banshee (V2K)
      on the aircraft selection drop-down list. This will diferentiate it from any other Banshees you may, or may not, have.
      As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. Also, =PLEASE= read the 'Notes' section for other IMPORTANT information on in-game operations.
      Happy Landings!

    14. MIG-31A FoxHound

      MIG-31A Foxhound
      The most capable Russian air defense interceptor aircraft, the FOXHOUND has a multiple-target engagement capability and was the first Soviet fighter to have a true look-down, shoot-down capability. The key to the MiG-31's effectiveness is the SBI-16 Zaslon fixed phased array antenna radar, codenamed 'Flash Dance' by NATO, which is said to be the world's most powerful fighter radar. The new Soloviev D-30F6 engine was specified for the MiG-31 in order to improve range, the key performance parameter for which an improvement over the MiG-25 was demanded. By 1987 over 150 FOXHOUNDs were operationally deployed at several locations from the Arkhangelsk area in the northwestern USSR to the Soviet Far East. The FOXHOUND is dedicated to the homeland air defense mission. The FOXHOUND carries the long-range AA-9 air-to-air missiles, and can engage 4 different targets simuitaneouly with the M-9.

    15. Handley Page HP.67 Hastings

      SF2 Handley Page HP.67 Hastings by Veltro2k & Co.       2/14/2021
      -For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
      "Quarantine Approved - Essential Mods"
      This is the release of the Handley Page HP.67 Hastings transport/cargo aircraft as used by the Royal Air Force from the late 1940s through the early 1960s. This version represents the C.1A & C.2 models.
      All markings are decals,and decal randomization is TRUE. All serial numbers are 100% historicaly correct. As none of serials represent any particular aircraft from any specific unit, they should be considered 'generic' in nature. However, I've assigned the aircraft to No.99 Squadron "Madras Presidency", as they recieved them in 1949, and are fairly representative of other Transport Command Squadrons. All sounds, pilot figures, hangar and loading screens are provided.
      The cargo bay doors are activated by the 'bomb bay' keystroke.
      As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. 
      Happy Landings!

      This is freeware, it =CAN= be redistrubuted, but =NOT= posted on other sites even if the original readmes and all other pieces of the package remain intact. 
      The names of all contributors, modders, suppliers, etc =MUST= be listed in any new readmes.

    18. SF2 Westland Whirlwind HAR Upgrade Pack

      SF2 Westland Whirlwind HAR Upgrade Pack                    4/19/2021
      -For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
      **NOTE: this is for the British built versions -0NLY-!!**
      This is major upgrade of the Westland Whirlwind (piston powered) as released by Strahi. Please be advised, if you have the original download, you will unfortunately have to delete it from your mods folder(s). THIS version is highly modified, with many additional items. If left as "drag & drop" over the original, there will be conflicts that might be unresolvable. Thus, the need for complete removal of the original. This has been approved by Strahi, to whom I extend great thanks!!
      The following services/units are covered. The first listing is the name of the skin folder itself. The rest is the description you will see on the skin selection dropdown on the Loadout Screen:
      Royal Air Force: 
      RAF1 - No.22 Sqdn, 55-62, overall yellow
      RAF2 - No.28 Sqdn, ?? date, Eurocamo*
      RAF3 - No.110 Sqdn, 1954, Kuala Lampur*
      JHU - Joint Helicopter Unit, HMS Ocean, Suez, 1956 
      Royal Navy:
      RN - 848 NAS, DGNB overall, early 50s
      RN2 - Ship's Flight, HMS Protector, 55-65, Antarctic Patrol
      RN3 - 848 NAS, HMS Bulwark, 1960s
      RN4 - 781 NAS, RNAS Yeovilton (Green Parrot)
      Suez - 848 NAS, HMS Albion, Suez 56
      JRV:
      YU - Soko Whirlwind, Yugoslavian Air Force, 1961

      *= be advised, these units MAY have had the later, turbine power marks. It's also possible some of those listed above, while still having serving piston-powered Whirlwinds, would have also recieved turbine power aircraft.
      The SF2 'date switch' is =NOT= used on any of the skins. I felt it would cause too many issues and confusions.
      Many painted on insignia and service markings remain as such. This is due to the minimal amount of meshes used to build the aircraft. All new serial number decals have been made for all included versions (up to 26 each). As is to be expected, while all are correct for the aircraft & services depicted, they are 'generic' in nature. When a unit's or service's serials HAVE been found, you'll see the star (*) in the number list dropdown. Decal randomization is TRUE. When possible, the RAF & RN squadron badges are used at the "patch" for viewing on the Loadout Screen
      On the aircraft selection drop down list, you'll see:
      Whirlwind HAR/HC (st)
      The (st) is for Strahi, and will diferentiate this Whirlwind for any others that may or may not exist. 
      As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!!
      Happy Landings!
      Wrench
      Kevin Stein
       
      EDIT:
      added missing Decals folders!!
      Sorry people!!

    20. Chengdu J-10AR "Ehécatl"

      Chengdu J-10A-AR "Ehécatl"
      This model is a approximation of how a Chengdu J-10 might look if it was in service with the Argentinian Air Force, being part of the 6to Grupo de Caza y Ataque, belonging to the VI Brigada Aérea. 
      As many of you might know, Argentina is planning to modernize its air force, and one of the jets that has been considered is the J-10, coming along with the JF-17, the MiG-35 and the MiG-29 (I should work on one of those).
      The model, though, is not accurate. The offer made by China considers the J-10CE, an export version of the J-10C.
      This plane can carry Chinese and Russian weapons, and Argentinian Mk-series bombs.
      The aircraft will appear on the list as "Chengdu J-10A-AR "Ehécatl".
      The adding of the -AR is just a formality.
      To install it, you will need to copy and paste the folders in your SF2 mod folder, following basic mod installation proccess.
      In the folder >>J10AR-Final Version<< you will find 4 folders. These are:
      Aircraft >> J-10A
      Decals >> J-10A
      Flight >> FLIGHTENGINE.INI
      Weapons >> KometaTankC // KometaTankW
      Special thanks to:
      Erwin_Hans and InSky, for the fantastic model they made of the Dragon...
      Franconinja14, who made the skin for the plane...
      Stipe, for the MiG-29M3 "Hyper Fulcrum" and its HUD, that I used for this mod...
      Spinners, for the Kometa and its tanks, wich I use in this mod...
      Eagle114th, for the screenshots, giving me tips and helping with everything (this guy is a genius)...
      And ThirdWire, for this amazing sim, that I love and play almost everyday...

      I hope you enjoy this mod as much as I do.
      Have a good flight!
      Good hunting!

      Mirage F1CE (1985-1998)
      This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.
      In June 1975, with tension growing with Morocco, Spain decided to strengthen its Air Force and bought 15 Mirage F1C that were allocated to Albacete AB. In mid-1976 there was still some tension with Morocco and Algerian and Libyan MiG-25 flights on the Mediterranean, which would lead the Spanish Air Force to purchase ten more Mirage F1C and two years later order 48 Mirage F1C and F1E.
      F1CE_Late specifics:
      - no 550, AIM-9 SW instead
      - extra AIM-9 on P2 stations
      - R530, no S530F, CLB4
      - no radio-altimeter
      - Seat Mk6
      - AN/ALE-40 Chaffs Flares dispenser
      Covered units :
      Ala 14, 141° Escuadron.
      A big thank to all on Combatace and C6 forums that helped us solving issues we encountered.
      Any omission in credits is totally unwanted, if I forgot somebody, let me know, I will correct this.
      This addon is and will in all cases remain freeware.
      Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms.
      Enjoy

    22. EF-101D Jammin VooDoo. What If...


      I have absolutely no idea what I am doing here...
      The true story behind Jammin VooDoo
      When USAF realized that maintaining expensive RF-101B become problematic for the budget they started to look for potential clients among allied forces. Imperial Iranian Air Force saw an opportunity in this. After closing the deal IIAF immediately asked the Israeli industry to prepare a possible package for 22 airframes. The deal covered the full conversion of existing airframes into electronic countermeasure fighters. RF-101B received ground mapping radar and sophisticated electronics. It was successfully used by IIAF in escort and SEAD missions until 1979. Soon before the revolution, Israel was afraid that Jammin Voodoo electronics will get into the wrong hands. Thanks to diplomatic efforts Heyl Ha'Avir acquired all 22 airframes. Jammin VooDoo stayed in Israel until 1983 where it served in 253 Tayeset as an experimental ECM detachment. In 1983 due to huge expenses with old airframes, EF-101 was sold back to the USA. All aircraft were sent to two National Guard squadrons where they served for 4 more years in "wild Weasel" detachments.
      In 2380 due to a temporal anomaly, USS Titan was sent into 1988. On secret assignment, all 22 aircraft were beamed into the cargo bay where airframes were scrapped and electronics were used to create a time beacon. 
       
       
      Basic modding skills are required t run this mod.

    23. Vipers Over Bosnia Pt 1: USAFE F-16C/D Operation Deny Flight

      Vipers Over Bosnia
          Part 1: USAFE F-16C/Ds During Operation Deny Flight
      In April 1993, NATO had documented over 500 unauthorized military flights over Bosnian airspace since the United Nations passed Resolution 781 that prohibited those flights. The Umited Nations then passed Resolution 816 that extended the flight ban to all fixed and rotary wing in the country and authorized memeber states to use all measures need to comply.
      On 12 April 1993, NATO began Operation Deny Flight, combat air patrols to enforce the no fly zone over Bosnia Herzogovina. In June 1993, Resolution 836 allowed NATO to also provide close air support to UNPROFOR on request (This was not often used because requests had to go to the UN in New York, then to NATO then back to the pilots and ground forces involved). As a result, the typical loadout was of air to air missiles as well as a pair of bombs and jaming pod.
      The closest American air base to the conflict zone was Aviano AB in Italy. Many US Fighter units forward deployed there at the beginning, including elements of the 86th Fighter Wing (512th and 526th Fighter Squadrons) which was transitioning from the F-16C Block 30 to the F-16C Block 40. This unit was in the middle of that transition on 28 Feb 1994 when elements of the 526th FS engaged 6 Serbian J-21 jets with the USAF claiming 4 downed (the Serbs claim 5 were lost).
      Later in 1994, the 86th Wing ceased fighter operations and the two squadrons were moved to Aviano to become part of the 31st Fighter Wing (510th FS and 555th FS). These squadrons continued operations over Bosnia through the shoot down incident on 2 Jun 1995 and the air strikes conducted as part of Operation Deliberate Force.
      With the adopting of the Dayton Peace Accords, Deny Flight was determined to no longer be necessary and terminated on 15 December 1995.
      This mod represents the four USAFE main F-16 squadrons that took part, the 512th FS Dragons, 526th FS Knights, 510th FS Buzzards, and 555th FS Triple Nickel. It also covers the two different blocks of F-16 flown at the time (30 and 40)
       
      Included
      F-16C Block 30 and 40, F-16D Block 40
      new F-16D Block 40
      various period specific weapons and pilots
      various ini edits to match the era
      new hangar and loading screens
      NOTE: The D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. The best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters. The load outs are the same so you will be able to load the same weapons.

    24. Orion MPCV Pack

      Orion Multipurpose Crew Vehicle and variants:
       
      _________________________________________
      Hi there Combatace community!
      As you may already know, this Monday (with some luck) the mission ARTEMIS one is going to lift-off setting the path for future manned missions to the Moon, something that as engineer and space nerd I am very excited about. To celebrate this milestone and since I am finding myself without time to continue 3D modelling space gear for the Moon mods, I have decided to upload my UNFINISHED models so you can enjoy them! That includes:
      - Aircrafts (or should I say spacecrafts)
      Orion MPCV: Your normal Orion Multipurpose Crew Vehicle, with some "landing gear" I was trying to design because my experiments with vertical take-off were to this point very unsuccessful... but appart from that and two floating invisible pilons for IR missiles, it should look like the Orion that will take off in a few days! Orion MPCV-ICPS: That is a bigger Orion which includes a variation of the "Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage", which in reality is the upper stage of the SLS that will insert the spacecraft into a translunar orbit from Earth. I modelled it here as a longer range Orion since the ICPS module are substantially two giant propellant tanks (big one LH2 and smaller one LOX). Also I have equipped it with four rocket engines which will help compensating the much heavier fuel tanks (I tried to tweak the engines parameters to make it look a little bit more like a rocket engine instead of an airbreathing one, so fuel consumption has become super high hahaha) F-40A Apollo Starfighter: The beginning of the Spacefighters mod, a modified Orion MPCV-ICPS in which the main body of the ICPS module has been modified to carry weaponry becoming a propulsion and warmodule. It includes to arms with a pair of space adapted cannons and pylons for eight SIM-9A the first vacuum rated version of the AIM-9 with reactive thrust control for maneuvering. This is definetely not how I want it to look like but newer models are on the long To Do List. - AAA test beds: In order to become a full Space warfare mod, ground objects have to be implemented, unfortunately appart from static turrets and modified rovers sketches I have not been able to make 3D models, that is why I borrowed randomly GKABS M163 PIVADS models in order to have AAA with good targeting for the following systems:
      Laser AAA: In space, one of the biggest challenges is thermal control of the spacecraft, and since there is no atmosphere to dissipate beams, a laser could potentially become an enemy for sneaky spacecrafts that ventures into restricted territory. That is why a small low power version of Laser AAA is intended to be used in the early stages of the mods conflict. Railgun: An electromagnetically accelerated projectile, with low fire rate but high velocities. It would have sense in the moment in which bigger and armoured spacecrafts appears in later stages of the conflict. - Weapons:
      23mm MG-2040 Lunar Cannon 20mm M168 Lunar Vulcan 100KW XN1 Laser Weapon System (quick fact eventhough "small" 100kW is freaking difficult to generate on the Moon) 105mm Lunar Rail Gun SIM-9A Spacewinder - So what to expect from this release?
      As you will see, it lacks a lot of things we take for granted in this game: ground assets, targets to strike, actual Air-to-Ground and viceversa weaponry, spacecrafts from other nations. But as we all know, time is sometimes really hard to invest in these projects and real life easily takes over it. So at least you can have some dogfights between Orions and experiment this new environment. I personally enjoyed a lot the process of doing them and thinking how a Spacefighter mod would look like after seeing that a Moon map is actually possible (thank you Menrva!).
      So I hope you enjoy this despite of the clearly unfinished models and textures!
      - CREDITS TO:
      Menrva: For the amazing map in which all of this can be developed and for the nations creation with their logos and the skins for them in the Orion. ravenclaw_007: For the incredibly detailed AIM-9 model from which I based my own space version model. GKABS: For the M163 that I included for testing the different AAA systems. Combatace community: In general, for the support, suggestions, advice and the material that I have used but I am not able to track the creator. DISCLAIMER:  As always this is a FREEWARE, the use of this content for commertial purposes is strictly FORBIDDEN.
      Ohhh and before I forget it, THERE ARE NO LANDING GEARS! hahahha
       
      All being said, kind regards. Nuni

    25. Mirage F1 CT Standard T2

      Mirage F1CT standard T2
      This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.
      The Mirage F1CT is a ground attack version of the Mirage F1C200. Following their replacement in the air defence role by the Mirage 2000, the French Air Force had a number of surplus Mirage F1C-200s, and in 1988 it launched a conversion programme to turn these aircraft into interim ground attack aircraft to replace elderly Mirage IIIEs and Mirage Vs. The Mirage F1CT program brought the avionics of the F1C up to the standard of the F1CR, with the radar upgraded with the additional air-to-ground modes of the Cyrano IVM-R, an improved navigation/attack system fitted, with a laser rangefinder fitted under the nose. It was fitted with new Mk 10 ejection seats, while improved radar detection and warning devices, chaff/flare dispensers, and secure radios were also added. It gained the ability to carry a variety of air-to-ground weapons, including rockets, cluster bombs and laser-guided bombs, while retaining the F1Cs air-to-air armament (Wikipedia).
      F1CT2 specifics:
      R550, no R530, S530F, AUF2, no CLB4, no CLB8 Radio-altimeter Inertial Navigation System Seat Mk10 RWR Aigle AAR probe Laser ranging and sensing TMV632, can sense illuminated targets for LGB (but no self-illumination) Barax, Barracuda, Phimat, Corail gondolas (P0 station)  CC420 pods capability RPL201 EFT No left gun Double wingtip position lights A big thank to all on Combatace and C6 forums that helped us solving issues we encountered.
      Any omission in credits is totally unwanted, if I forgot somebody, let me know, I will correct this.
      This addon is and will in all cases remain freeware.
      Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms.
