Dassault Mirage IIIVE 'Arab Nations' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
By Spinners
Dassault Mirage IIIVE 'Arab Nations' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a simple mod of Veltro2K's Mirage IIIV to create a fictional Mirage IIIVE in service with the following Arab Nations in the 1968-1982 timeline;
Egypt (used as the default nation)
Jordan
Lebanon
Syria
For all four I've used the superb 'aluminio' skin by torno.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the MirageIIIVE folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the MirageIIIVE folder into your Decals folder.
That's it! I was keen to make this readily accessible to everyone so everything is stock and the F-100D pit is used as it's in every version of Strike Fighters. This isn't accurate so if you've got any of the Third Wire Mirages then it's best to use those pits.
CREDITS
As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
Thanks to Veltro2K for bringing us the Mirage IIIV and so much more!
Thanks also to michaelk for his recent MirageIIIV minor update which brought this aircraft to my attention.
Thanks to torno for the 'aluminio' skin - ¡muy buen trabajo!
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
Regards
Spinners

SENTRY : Aircraft of the NATO E-3A Component
SENTRY: Aircraft of the NATO E-3A Component
Since 1983, NATO has operated international squadrons of E-3A Sentrys, commonly referred to as AWACS from Geilenkirchen AB. Registered in Luxembourg due to international law, the NATO AEW&C Force held watch during the final decade of the Cold War, participated in operations over the Balkans and Libya, and assisted with US homeland defense after the attacks on 9/11/01.
During the late 1990s, the NATO Sentry fleet gained upgrades in line with the USAF's Block 30/35 upgrades. These included distinctive fairings on the aircraft chin, cheek and tail housing ESM equipment. The aircraft retained their original E-3A designations after the upgrades.
For several years, retired 707 airliners were also operated as trainers to reduce E-3 flying hours and as transports to support NAEWF missions as well as other NATO missions when available. These aircraft were designated CT-49A and operated unti the mid 2010s.
Included
This mod includes skin for the E-3A, an E-3A_98 aircraft with fake pilot upgrades and CT-49A trainer aircraft, as well as decals and a set of ESM pods for the newer E-3A
Installation
unzip mod, add contents of "2 Mod Folder" to mod folder of your choice. allow overwrites
Known Issues
- The Sentry aircraft pull hard to port (left) when taking off. This only occurs when the player is hand flying the aircraft, when AI or autopilot flies this is not an issue
- The cockpit is not a great match for the aircraft, however SF2 does not support any of their (E-3 or CT-49) original missions as player flyable and they were originally intended to be eye candy. Until we get a 3d modeller that wants to do a new E-3 or even 707 proper pit, this is how it will be.

SF2 F3D-2/EF-10B Skyknight by Coyote Aerospace
By Wrench
SF2 F3D-2/EF-10B Skyknight by Coyote Aerospace 1/1/2024
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
This is the release of AngelP's F3D-2/EF-10 "Skyknight". It's being released as a "provisional Beta", due to the LOD needing more work. But rest assured, it's been 'tested to destruction', and other than needing a few more seperated meshes, is fully functional.
The aircraft has been split into two differing birds, one the night/all weather fighter for the 1950s (F3D-2) and the Vietnam War era stand-off/escort jammer (EF-10B). Due to the need for certain types of electronics (avionics), 2 different cockpits have been used.
The aircraft(s) include the following skin sets:
F3D-2:
VC-3 (USN) in standard overall Dark Gloss Navy Blue
VMF(N)-513 -
VMF(N)-531 - both in overall Night Black, USMC night fighters during the Korean War
EF-10B:
VMCJ-1 in standard Gull Grey/White
Most marking are decals; excepting a few squadron flashes. Decal randomization is TRUE. As expected, as many Modex numbers as possible have been matched to their BuNums. These are marked with the star (*). Those unmarked could not be matched, or are just 'generic' in nature. Included are pilot figures, drop tanks (ini only) and the EF-10 gets external jammer and chaff pods. This aircraft is NOT carrier qualfied, although the wings fold with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/9, and the canopy hatch with Shift/0.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection dropdown you'll see for each:
F3D-2 Skyknight (CAF)
EF-10B Skyknight (CAF)
these will differentiate ours from any others you might (or most likely DON'T) have.
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. If there's any Notes, give them a read too! :)

52nd Fighter Wing 1994
52nd Fighter Wing 1994
This mod brings together all of the aircraft of the 52nd Fightere Wing at Spangdahlem AB, Federal Republic of Germany in 1994. It features historic serials and skins for the era
Included
A-10A_93, F-16C/D_B50, F-15C/D_91 aircraft
Sounds, effects and decals for all of the above
Assorted Weapons
Special Fuel Tanks to allow selection from different aircraft.
Installation
unzip, add contents of "2 Mod Folder" to the mod folder of your choice. allow overwrites
NOTE ON SPECIAL TANKS AND MIXED FLIGHTS
I HAVE SET UP A SERIES OF ROCKET/FUEL TANKS (MINUS THE ROCKETS) SO THAT FUEL TANKS OTHER THAN WHAT IS NATIVE TO THE AIRCRAFT CAN BE SELECTED, ALLOWING MIX FLIGHTS OF AIRCRAFT. THE TANKS FOR EACH AIRCRAFT IS IDENTIFIED BY A NUMBER AT FRONT (IE "370 GAL TANK") WHILE THE NON REGULAR ONES HAVE THE AIRCRAFT NAME IN FRONT (IE F-16 370 GAL TANK). THEY WILL APPEAR FOR THE MOST PART AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MENU SCROLL
IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THIS, IT IS HIGHLY RECCOMENDED THAT YOU SELECT THE F-16C, THEN CHANGE TO THE F-15 OR A-10 IN THE LOADOUT MENU SCREEN ( flightname 1-1 IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE LEAD). THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO USE ALL AVAILABLE WEAPONS, AS THE F-16 CAN CARRY ANYTHING THE A-10 OR F-15 CAN.

F-7P Skybolt V1.0
By Lazarus1177
PAF F-7P Skybolt Interceptor For SF2
For SF2,Full-5 merged or at Minimum SF2E and SF2V(Required for Cockpit and HUD)
Overview:
J-7MP
After nearly two years use of the F-7M, Pakistani Air Force (PAF) returned the 20 F-7M aircraft to China in the late 1980s with recommendations for 24 upgrades, including replacing the original GEC-Marconi Type 226 Skyranger radar with the Italian FIAR Grifo-7 radar, and AIM-9 Sidewinder capability.
The Italian radar weighs 55 kg, had a slot antenna planar array, and had a range greater than 50 km, while the British radar only weighs 42 kg, with a parabolic antenna, but only had range of 15 km. Both radars have a mean time between failure rate of 200 hours. J-7MP:is the design specially tailored to Pakistani requirements.
J-7PG
Alternative to J-7MG, similar to the J-7MG except with Italian FIAR Grifo-MG radar, which further increased the sector of scan to +/- 30 degrees from the +/- 20 degrees of Grifo-Mk-II on F-7P. The Grifo-MG radar has better ECCM, look-down and shoot-down capabilities than its predecessor Grifo-Mk-II, while the weight remained the same. The number of targets can be tracked simultaneously is increased from the original 4 of the Grifo-Mk-II to a total of 8 of the Grifo-MG. Pakistan and Bangladesh evaluated the aircraft, and evolved to F-7PG.
The Mod:
This mod represents the F-7P Skybolt in service with the PAF from the late Eighties.This version of the aircraft is not to be confused with the newer F-7PG with it's Double Delta Cranked wing profile.The base model used is the stock TW Mig-21 F-13 as it is exactly like the F-7P.All the texturing was done using Gimp2.6.The Skins were made by modifying the stock grey skin and include textures for:
CCS Standard
CCS Grey(Kill Markings)
No.20 Squadron
No.17 Squadron
No.2 Squadron Lo-Viz
The Weapons loadout is completely revamped to include western munitions.The Aircraft still however,uses the stock fuel tanks.This F-7P is strictly made to be used for Air Defence.But,Ground munitions are still included for pilots who like to bomb.
Installation:
After Unzipping F-7P V1.0,place all the contents of folder inside your objects folder located in your SF2 mod folder.When asked to overwrite,click yes.
Note:If you do not know anything about the mod folder,the immediately stop the installation,go to the COmbatACE Forums,Go to the Strike Fighters 2 Knowledge Base and take a look at the thread explaining the Strike Fighters 2 mod folder mechanism.
If you are modifying my textures for your own mod,then you have my permission as long as I(Lazarus1177) am acknowledged as the original Author.
IMPORTANT:
I HEREBY CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF THE CHANGES THIS MOD MAY RENDER TO YOUR GAME(Even though it doesn't).IF THIS MOD IS INSTALLED,THEN IT IS DONE ONLY BY THE WILL OF THE USER AND I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS.INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK.(The mod is perfectly safe,but I still claim no responsibility just to be safe!)
Credits:
Aircraft Model:Third Wire
Texturing:Me
Pilot:Came from dtmdragons Falklands Harrier mod

I would also like to thank forum members EricJ and Gepard for their support regarding the Aircraft's Engine thrust.
Hope you have as much fun flying it as I did Making it.

SF2 WW2 ETO Gloster Meteor F.3 "Stand In" Pak
By Wrench
SF2 WW2 ETO Gloster Meteor F.3 "Stand In" Pak 9/11/2013
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged, Plus Expansion Paks (Reccomended/Preferred) =
**Note: Having wichever SF2I Expansion Pak that gave us the Meteor 8 is =REQURIED=. As this mod makes use of that stock 3W Lod, you =MUST= have said Expansion Pak as part of you merged installs. Otherwise, this mod does you no good, and you shouldn't download it.**
A reskinning and redecaling of the stock 3W Meteor F8 to create a "Stand-In" WW2 era Meteor 3. Yes, we all know there are =SUBSTANTIAL= physical differences between the early and later production marks, but this WILL allow you an RAF jet for anti-diver patrols and causing general mayhem in the closing months of the War. And possibly against some of the Luftwaffe jets recently released, and those still to come.
The markings are all decals, representing No. 616 Squadron "South Yorkshire" circa late 1944 thru 1945. These are reused from an old 1stGen mod of mine. The serial numbers are historically correct as they ARE for the F.3 variant. Decal randomization is TRUE. Serials and Plane-in-Group letters for 26 aircraft are supplied.
The canopy opens with the Standard Animations Keystroke (Shift/0). The pilot figure is included, but weapons are NOT, as they reference ALL stock 3W in-game items, with the exception of the RAF500 pound ww2 era bomb. You should already have this in you game via various WW2 weapons packs.
My 1stGen 'box art' hangar screen is included, now revamped for SF2.
When In Game you'll see:
Meteor F.3 (SI-3W)
on the aircraft selection drop down menu. This will diferentiate it for those that may (or may not) have the DAT F.3.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
Good Hunting!!

B-66B SF2x
By hgbn
The B-66B was developed strictly as a tactical bomber and was the last bomber of this type procured by the USAF. The -B model was based on the RB-66A which was in turn adapted from the US Navy A3D Skywarrior. The B-66B made its first flight on 4 January 1955, about 6 months after the initial flight of the RB-66A. The USAF received its first production aircraft in March 1956 and deliveries continued into 1958.
The B-66B was the first USAF bomber designed with in-flight refueling (IFR) capability, although many (numerically) earlier bombers were fitted with IFR equipment as a retrofit modification or on later models in the development cycle.
A total of 62 B-66B bombers were built. Many -B models were converted to electronic warfare aircraft after their usefulness as bombers was complete. Many of these aircraft, designated as EB-66B or EB-66E, served in Sotheast Asia during the Vietnam war.
All credits above Bunyap
Skins included with the aircraft:
84th Bomb Squadron, 47th Bomb Wing ? 1960
85th Bomb Squadron, 47th Bomb Wing - 1960

U.S.A.F. Early Model Sabres SF2
By GwynO
16th July 2009 SF2 version updates by knx, all props go to original creators listed below the dotted line.
Install instructions, drag and drop Objects folder into your mod folder.
Notes: I will try to figure out why the magnetic compass to the right of the cockpit isn't showing up, just a case of finding the appropriate bmp from first series games I think. Will update as and when. Please let me know if you spot something else that needs updating/tweaking. I'm sure there is something I missed, so point it out to me please if you can, the reason I'm uploading now as it is, is so that issues can be pointed out and resolved before the rest of the packs to follow. Regards, Gwyn.
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The original readme follows, note that this pack is only one specific part of what is described here, the next lot I will be updating are the later model USAF Sabres (I don't know who is doing the MiG-15s)
F-86 Sabre /MiG-15 README:
First of all I would like to think “USAFMTL” for allowing me to be a part of this effort.
Secondly thanks go to David Zurawski for his wonderful F-86 Sabre that is such a work of art.
Thirdly thank you to all that have modeled and skined the work to developed individual sub-models of the F-86.
Thanks to Jimmy Bib for all his graphical engineering.
Lastly thank you to “Fubar 512" for his expert guidance in my effort in Flight Modeling.
If ever the was an aircraft the looked, felt, smelt, and tasted like a fighter aircraft ; it’s the F-86 Sabre!
And being an actual jet rated pilot, with a little over 1,200 actual flight hours, compelled me to tweak , my “Sweet Sabre”.
Being my all time favorite aircraft and being an avid history nut about the Korean Conflict compelled me in an effort to add to these works that so many started.
First of all. All data contained in the data.ini files was deeply researched by “USAFMTL” and myself.
Only minor tweaks where utilized, building on the work of those that created the aircraft models.
All aircraft preform to Dash 1 specifications to the degree of 99.9%.
All aircraft where thoroughly tested by hundreds hours of actual, not autopilot, testing.
The yank and bank style of A.C.M. with this aircraft is gone.
Key points are :
1) Keeping a high energy fight.
2) Thinking well ahead of what the aircraft is, or what you want it to do.
3) The required use of the speed brakes to alter or set up YOUR fight or flight, in reference to turning radius. Not just chopping the throttle, that is a only a good way to die.
4) And for the self proclaimed, “Fighter Aces”, fly these models on the HARD setting, to truly test your skill.
5) All F-86 and MiG-15 are uniform in performance. The aircraft preform as did the actual models of this noble era.
6) The addition of armor to all aircraft end the ,“QUICK KILL”. These can be altered still to fit ones preference.
A little history:
106 OF THE F-86A-5 MODELS WHERE COMMITTED TO THE KOREAN CONFLICT.
THE LAST F-86A WAS NOT REPLACED UNTIL JULY1952.
127 TOTAL OF THE F-86E-5 MODELS WHERE COMMITTED TO THE KOREA CONFLICT.

SF2E A-10 series .ini tweaks
By Fubar512
Firstly: This file does not contain an aircraft. Rather it's a tweak made to the existing Third Wire A-10A and A-10A_78, both of which are part of the default planeset that ships with Strike Fighters 2 Europe. I've uploaded it here, because there wasn't a subsection set up specifically for aircraft .ini tweaks Anyway......
SF2E A-10 Tweaks
by Fubar512
Installation: Simply drop the aircraft data files into their matching-named folders.
In Windows XP, the folder path would be:
My Documents/ThirdWire/StrikeFighters2x/Objects/Aircraft.
In Windows Vista or Windows 7, the path is:
Documents/<User Name>/Saved Games/ThirdWire/StrikeFighters2x/Objects/Aircraft.
Now that you have some idea as to SF2's file path, you can go onto the next step.....and that's to drop the included A10Engine.wav into the ThirdWire/StrikeFighters2x/Sounds folder. If you don't have one, don't panic, just create one, following the path statement above.
To uninstall: just delete the A-10A_Data.ini, and the A-10A_78_Data.ini, and the game will revert to using the TW default.

MiG-21FL Type-77 Trishul
By paulopanz
The production of the MiG-21s in India under license by Hindustan Aeronautics in Nasik started
with the MiG-21FL in 1966 in four phases starting with the assembly of CKD kits, moving on to
subassemblies, parts, and finally advancing to production from scratch.
205 MiG-21FLs, designated Type 77 and nicknamed Trishul ("Trident), were built in India between
1966 and 1972; the first one built entirely from Indian-made components was delivered to the IAF
on 19 October 1970, with the first Indian-made R11F2S-300 powerplant leaving the assembly line
on 2 January 1969.
In the late 1970s, the IAF began acquiring MiG-21M/MFs, consequently a large part of the MiG-21FL
fleet were sent into storage.
However in the mid-1980s, these FLs were pulled out of storage and retrofitted with two extra
pylons and were fitted with IFF-400 antennas(on the nose).
Whats's in:
- two flyable planes
- Type 77 with GP-9 gunpod (13 skins)
- Type 77 (late) with 4 pylons and IFF-400 antenna (5 skins)
- MiG-21 cockpit
- IAF Pilot (76.IAP-Blackbird's reworked)
- New Mig-21FL userlist without India
- Dedicated sounds
- Historical Serial Numbers
canopy opens as usual with 10 key.
Known Issues: none
- White 'ghosts' in the cockpit - solved!
To Install:
Put all in your mod folder.
Credits:
- Spillone104: 3D Works (GP-9 pod, Pylons, Antennas) & Sounds
- Paulopanz: Skins, Decals, Pilot, Loading Screens & Ini Editing
- Ghostrider883: for help & refereces; 3 well wheathered skin
- AtariBaby for cockpit
- 76.IAP-Blackbird: for original pilot

[Fictional] F-104I 'Kohav' (Star) for SF2:Europe
By Spinners
F-104I for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a simple mod of the Third Wire Lockheed Starfighter F-104G to give a fictional F-104I 'Kohav' (Star) of the Israeli Air Force with markings for No.119 squadron - "The Bat Squadron". As this download relies on the stock Third Wire F-104G LODs then you must have SF2:Europe where TK has thoughfully left them for us.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-104I folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-104I folder into your main Decals folder.
SKINS/MARKINGS
I wanted to capture the look of the early Mirage IIIC's in Israeli service and saw a photograph of a No.119 squadron machine with red/white rudder stripes and a red fin marking and decided to copy that. As there are no hi-res squadron patch images for No.119 squadron I designed by own, I hope you like it!
CREDITS
Special thanks to guyran for suggesting the Hebrew name of 'Kohav'.
And special thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
Regards

Hawker Hunter F.50 / J-34

Swedish designation J-34, 120 built, delivered to RSAF from 1955 to 1957.
NUMBERS: 34001-34120
SERVICE: 1955/1969
The two fighter wings in Stockholm, F 18 at Tullinge and F 8 at Barkaby,
each got 60 Hunters during 1955-57, trading-in their J 28B Vampire and J-29 Tunnan.
J-34 Hunter remained an important part of the Swedish air defence until the late 1960's.
It gained a reputation for beeing robust and usable under field conditions.
F.9 at Save and F.10 at Angelholm had J-34 later from F.8 and F. 18.
The launch rails for two Sidewinders were not initially carried, but added as an upgrade on 1960.

- F.9 at Säve (Gothenburg) (ex F.8/F.18 planes) 1962/1969 - last operator
- F.10 at Ängelholm (ex F.8/F.18 planes) 1963/1967 - then J-34 to F.9
N.B. each wing had 3 squadrons (10 planes) Red, Blue and Jellow
Until 1964 the planes had red, blue or yellow letters on the tail (F.18 didn't use letter code "I"),
then a red, blue or yellow band on the nose and white numbers on the tail.
These id signs where reproduced on the nose gear door, too.
WHAT's IN:
Two plane versions Mk 50 base and with launch rails for two Sidewinders
6 + 19 Skin variations for all the 4 wings and 12 Squadrons plus F18 Acro Hunter Team as a bonus.
Badges, Numbers, letters etc. ..... F18 planes don't have "I"
CREDITS:
- KNUG for original Woe Skin and decals that I upgraded and reworked, help, effort and referces;
- NCHENGO & SPILLONE104 for the new oustandings pylons;
- SPILLONE104 for Hunter Sound, too
- WRENCH & DIEGO for pilot;
