      ---------------------------------------------------------
      Italian Tornado IDS.
       CAUTION !!!!
      --------------------
      Base LOD is using specular maps.
      They can really drop fps on slower GPUs [like my GTX 460 ;-)].
      If you have this problem, there is archive of LOD without them in plane folder called :
      IDS-AM faster_no_specular_LOD
      Unpack and use this one.
       CAUTION 2:
      ---------------------

    3. [Fictional] North American F-100S 'Flygvapnet'

      North American F-100S 'Swedish Super Sabre' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-100D to place this classic cold war warrior into fictional service with the Swedish Air Force with two camo schemes;
      F 6 Karlsberg in NMF.
      F 21 Luleå in a splinter type camo.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-100S folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-100S folder into your main Decals folder.
      That's it!

      CREDITS
      Thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
      Thanks to hgbn (Henrik) for uploading his superb F-100D templates to the community.
      And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

    4. Meteors Over Korea. SF2.

      Meteors Over Korea
      Bunch of Meteors for the Royal Australian Air Force used during the Korean War.
      Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) 
      Install:
      Copy paste specific folders into a correct destination.
      Fake pilot is required to run this mod. Also, Thirdwire Meteor cockpit is required from the original game. 
      Fuel tanks- not to be afraid. Overwrite or just leave it. 100 gal tank is original TW tank. You can overwrite or just simply do not copy.
      175 gal tank also.
      Tanks are just ini files. Mod use tanks that are part of aircraft lod.
      Yes, again Meteors. 
      This is pack contains only F.8 and T.7 models used by RAAF.

      All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize to needed resolution.  better to downsize than rescale to higher res.
      All decals are based on available materials and are historically correct.  Few nose arts included.
      I've made skins sets per year regarding loses and reinforcements in 77Sq. between 1951-1953. I was trying to be accurate as possible even with all game limits.  Loses /  reinforcements are credited per year..so loses from 1951 are not seen in 52 - but new planes are available as reinforcements arrived. 
       
      Credits.
      Veltro2k  - the original model early model.
      Me -  model rework into T.7 and F.8 and some other mambo jumbo like skins, decals, research...
       76.IAP-Blackbird - also T model re-working.
      Charles - original FM from original T.7 upload. 
      Nose art decals for Halestorm, Bow 'em Over, Cap'n Mac - from Kulbit's Gloster Meteor RAAF pack. 
      Seat - all credits o creator - unfortunately I don't remember who made this seat. I guess skin is by Kulbit.
      Pilots - I have no idea / don't remember who did it. All credit to him/her.  - one of my favorites figures in a game - I've added this to correspond with the data file.
      Weapons
      RP-3 rockets from Ravenclaw.
      This model is designed/checked only to work with ravenclaw's RP-3 rockets - so might be some strange positioning in other (stock) rockets.
       
      Have fun
      Report bugs.
      Expect the unexpected

      THIS MODEL IS ONLY TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE AND IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL IT BE USED, EVEN IN PART OF ANYTHING THAT IS PAYWARE.
      IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT

    5. [Fictional] Douglas A-4D Skyhawk 'USAF'

      Douglas A-4D Skyhawk 'USAF' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire A-4E to give a fictional USAF A-4D with markings for the 416th Tactical Fighter Squadron ('The Silver Knights') in 1967 although the service years are a more generous 1964 to 1985.

      BACKSTORY
      During the Spring of 1961 the incoming Secretary of Defence Robert S. McNamara left no stone unturned in his search for efficiencies in procurement and operational costs and his attention soon turned to the successful Douglas A4D 'Skyhawk' programme. Douglas had already transformed their 'bantam bomber' by replacing the Curtiss-Wright J65 engine with the Pratt & Whitney J52-P6A engine and the forthcoming A4D-5 (A-4E) version was chosen as the baseline for a minimum-change version for the USAF. Designated A-4D (after the introduction of the tri-service 
      designation system) the USAF Skyhawks saw extensive service at home and abroad and, in particular, served with distinction in Vietnam where they replaced a variety of tactical aircraft.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the A-4D folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the A-4D folder into your main Decals folder.
      That's it!

    6. [Fictional] North American F-100G Super Sabre

      North American F-100G for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-100D to create a fictional F-100G for extended service with ANG units into the 1980's. Two units are included;
      The 125th TFS of the Oklahoma ANG.
      The 131st TFS of the Massachusetts ANG.
      Both units are dressed in a 'Euro One' style scheme on the upper surfaces only and with toned down national markings, codes and serials using late model F-100D serials. An additional stock T.O. 1-1-4 Camo skin for the 125th TFS is included in case they get deployed to Dhimar...

      BACKSTORY
      President James Earl 'Jimmy' Carter started his presidency in January 1977 with a detailed review of the US military budget and his most high-profile decision was the cancellation of the Rockwell B-1A bomber programme in June 1977. But many smaller programmes were cut or cancelled too along with the postponement of the re-equipping of TAC and ANG units with new aircraft types. F-16A and A-10A production was slowed down and many TAC and ANG units were instructed to hold on to their F-100's and F-105's for an indefinate period. In a genuine (but actually insulting) 
      compensatory gesture Rockwell were given a $45million contract to upgrade 90 F-100D's for continued service with the ANG with the aircraft emerging from their Columbus, Ohio plant as F-100G's with refurbished engines, partially re-skinned wings and minor avionics upgrades.
       
      The first unit to receive F-100G's was the 131st Tactical Fighter Squadron based at Barnes Municipal Airport in Westfield, Massachusetts who had been scheduled to convert from the F-100D to A-10A's but instead received F-100G's which served until 1986.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-100G folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-100G folder into your main Decals folder.
      That's it!

    7. [Fictional] Supermarine Spitfire F.Mk22 'Norway'

      Supermarine Spitfire F.Mk 22 - Royal Norwegian Air Force
      This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire Spitfire F.Mk 22 to give a fictional Norwegian Spitfire F.Mk 22 with markings for the following squadrons;
      No.331 Squadron RNoAF in standard RAF Camo.
      No.332 Squadron RNoAF in NMF/Silver finish.
      No.91 Squadron RAF in standard RAF Camo (not a real world user).
      This mod requires AI Plane Pack 2 and should not conflict with the stock Third Wire Spitfire F.Mk 22.
      I have elected NOT to make this Spitfire F.Mk 22 nation specific for the RNoAF but have kept it as RAF so as to allow other future skins to be dropped in.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the SpitfireF22 folder into your main Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the SpitfireF22 folder into your main Decals folder.
      At this point it might be a good idea to change the pilot to whatever you've got in your install suitable for the early post-war period.

      CREDITS
      Thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
      Special thanks to Kesselbrut for the Spitfire cockpit (an oldie but goldie).
      And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

    8. [Fictional] Lockheed F-104E Starfighter 'ANG'

      Lockheed F-104E for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-104G to create a fictional USAF F-104E with markings for;
      112th TFS of the Ohio ANG in a 'Euro One' style scheme.
      162nd TFS of the Ohio ANG in a 'Euro One' style scheme.
      198th TFS of the Puerto Rico ANG in a 'T.O. 1-1-4' style scheme.
      It goes without saying that you must have the F-104G LOD's in your install.

      BACKSTORY
      Whilst, officially, USAF interest in the F-104 programme began to ebb (leading to only 77 F-104C's being built) they kept a watchful eye on Lockheed's progress into transforming the original hot-rod interceptor fighter into a multi-mission tactical fighter for export to selected 'free world' nations. As negotiations with Federal Germany reached a critical phase in 1958 concern was expressed by the Bonn government that Lockheed were attempting to sell an aircraft no longer wanted by it's home nation. Lockheed cleverly took these concerns back to Washington and claimed that lucrative export orders were at jeopardy leading to a token order for a new version of the Starfighter for the USAF.
      Designated F-104E this new version broadly represented a halfway house between the F-104C and the forthcoming F-104G. Only 60 F-104E's were planned to be produced but the success of the F-104C flown by Capt Charles E. Tofferi in the 1962 William Tell tactical weapons meet, against strong competition from F-100 and F-105 pilots, led to continued low-rate production followed by a larger batch of 240 F-104E's making an eventual total of 336. F-104E's were deployed to Vietnam and surviving aircraft were refurbished for ANG use with the type being finally retired in 1988 when the 112th TFS re-equipped with F-16A's. 

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-104E folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-104E folder into your main Decals folder.
      That's it!

      CREDITS
      Thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.

      OR WITH ANY OTHER FILES OR MODS.
      *************************************************************
       
      CHANGES:
      I highly recommend to overwrite previous files decals/weapons/guns- or best is delete the old one and put new files.
      YOU NEED TO DELETE OLD AIRCRAFT FOLDERS CH-53Cand HH-53C and HH-53B from Vietnam pack.  Many things were changed and as tested Overwriting may cause some problems...So delete old ones put new ones.
      The rest (except Aircraft folders) are same can be overwritten without fear.
      Small changes in ini files, corrections on fuel loadout, changes in cockpit ini. 
      Small changes in skins. Also No longer fake weapon "no gun" is needed - thanks to The Trooper. He pointed small fix in data.ini.
      Added simple bump and specular maps. Also added damage tgas.
      Major changes in the cockpit - now it is much more correct. Although probably not everyone cares ore will see a difference. Anyway.

      ******************IMPORTANT******************
      FakePilot mod needed to run this mod. 
      As always.
      Standard animation commands HH-53 C:
      LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed.
      ANIMATION 1 - cargo ramp half open
      ANIMATION 2 - cabin windows
      ANIMATION 3 - wipers outside/inside
      ANIMATION 4 - refueling probe
      Hook - changes position when refueling to see the tip of the spear.
      rescue op:
      Open "bombbay" doors - cargo ramp and right side hatch/door
      ANIMATION 8 - Open side doors, lower jungle penetrator
      ANIMATION 9 - deploy PJ
      ANIMATION 10 - lower/raise hoist.
      Animation 8, 9 and 10 have a speed limit. So you can't hoist on full speed.
      With little practice, you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
      Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
      Normally throttle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 70% then slowly more and more, wait and it will take off.
       
      Cockpits.
      One cockpit for HH-53C and CH-53C equipped with RWR and one cockpit for earlier non rwr HH-53B. Historically not all HH-53C airframes were equipped with RWR. BUt this mod covers RWR mod installed.
      Skins.
      All serial numbers are based on available photos and are historically correct and few versions of one unit for each helo.
      Few versions of one unit for each helo.
      CH-53C 21st SOS
      HH-53C 37th and 40th ARRS
      HH-53B 37th and 40th ARRS
      Weapons.
      The only "offensive" weapon is left/right side gunner equipped with GAU-2 minigun. Well, it is quite a defensive weapon.
      Unlike in pack 'Over Europe' here CH-53C can't be equipped with a refueling probe (small ini tweak will do the trick). 
      Fuel Tanks 450 US Gal. for CH-53C and HH-53C and 650 US Gal. for HH-53B
      There is a separate weapon station called SandyStation - with allowed all sort of offensive weapons. Purpose of this station is to fly with Sandy (or any other USAF aircraft) as wingman fully loaded. Same way can be added Sandy fuel tanks.
      IMPORTANT -
      Due to tu construction of this mod, it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard, you may have some complications on the airfield - especially with underslung cargo load.
       
      Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots.
       
      Have fun.
      Edit and report bugs.

      *************************************************************
       
      CHANGES:
      I highly recommend to overwrite previous files decals/weapons/guns- or best is delete the old one and put new files.
      YOU NEED TO DELETE OLD AIRCRAFT FOLDERS CH-53Cand HH-53C from European pack.  Many things were changed and as tested Overwriting may cause some problems...So delete old ones put new ones.
      The rest (except Aircraft folders) are same can be overwritten without fear...also delete old weapon: HH-53_ ALE-20
      Small changes in ini files, corrections on fuel loadout, changes in cockpit ini. 
      Small changes in skins. Also No longer fake weapon "no gun" is needed - thanks to The Trooper. He pointed small fix in data.ini.
      Added simple bump and specular maps. Also added damage tgas.
      Major changes in the cockpit - now it is much more correct. Although probably not everyone cares ore will see a difference. Anyway.

      ******************IMPORTANT******************
      FakePilot mod needed to run this mod. 
      As always.
      Standard animation commands HH-53 C:
      LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed.
      ANIMATION 1 - cargo ramp half open
      ANIMATION 2 - cabin windows
      ANIMATION 3 - wipers outside/inside
      ANIMATION 4 - refueling probe
      Hook - changes position when refueling to see the tip of the spear.
      rescue op:
      Open "bombbay" doors - cargo ramp and right side hatch/door
      ANIMATION 8 - Open side doors, lower jungle penetrator
      ANIMATION 9 - deploy PJ
      ANIMATION 10 - lower/raise hoist.
      Animation 8, 9 and 10 have a speed limit. So you can't hoist on full speed.
       
      With little practice, you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
      Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
      Normally throttle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 70% then slowly more and more, wait and it will take off.
       
      Cockpits.
      One cockpit for both aircrafts.
      Skins.
      All serial numbers are based on available photos and are historically correct and few versions of one unit for each helo.
      CH-53C 601st TASS Sembach, Germany.
      - early SEA and late EURO1/ hi viz painting.
      HH-53C 67th ARRS Woodbridge, UK.
      - early SEA and EURO1 camouflage scheme plus additional one grey before 67th moved to Woodbridge.
      Weapons.
      The only "offensive" weapon is left/right side gunner equipped with GAU-2 minigun. Well, it is quite a defensive weapon.
      CH-53C can be equipped with a refueling probe (same weapon station as in RH-53D)
       
      There is a separate weapon station called SandyStation - with allowed all sort of offensive weapons. Purpose of this station is to fly with Sandy (or any other USAF aircraft) as wingman fully loaded. Same way can be added Sandy fuel tanks.
      IMPORTANT -
      Due to tu construction of this mod, it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard, you may have some complications on the airfield - especially with underslung cargo load.
       
      Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots.
       
      Have fun.
      Edit and report bugs.

    11. [Fictional] Yak-41M 'Freestyle' Ukrainian Armed Forces

      Yakovlev Yak-41M for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is simple mod of Gabilon's Yak-41 'Freestyle' to create a fictional Yak-41M in service with the Ukrainian Naval Aviation and the Ukrainian Air Force. Gabilon created his Yak-41 in 2007 (his first 3D model - Chapeau!) and Fubar512 improved the FM and those improvements are duly incorporated here along with a few modifications by me.
      Three new Ukrainian skins are included;
      1. Ukrainian Naval Aviation in a blue splinter scheme for maritime operations.
      2. Ukrainian Air Force in a 'Flygvapnet' splinter scheme for tactical operations.
      3. Ukrainian Air Force in a modern (boring) grey scheme. 

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Yak-41M folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Yak-41M folder into your main Decals folder.
      3. From the SOUNDS folder drag and drop both the sound files into your main Sounds folder.
      4. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop all four weapons folder into your main Weapons folder.
      That's it!

      CREDITS
      Thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
      Thanks to Gabilon for creating and uploading his Yak-41 back in 2007.

    12. Harbin H-5 (Chinese Il-28 Beagle)

      Harbin H-5 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire Il-28 'Beagle' to create the reverse engineered Harbin H-5 copy. As the PLAAF also operated the Il-28 I've set the service dates to match those given for the stock Third Wire Il-28 (for China) but the Chinese H-5 programme was a slow starter
      and it didn't enter service until 1967.
      Generic markings with new serial numbers based on the photo of '83002' with a painted radome are included and please note that this mod uses Wrench's F-4B pit for pasko's Yak-25B 'Brewer' so it should work with any version of SF2 that has medium length runways.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the H-5 folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the H-5 folder into your main Decals folder.
      3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_PLAAF folder into your main Pilots folder.
      That's it!

      CREDITS
      Thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
      Thanks to Wrench for the Brewer cockpit.
      Thanks also to whoever did the excellent PLAAF pilot (let me know and I'll gladly give credit).
      And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the H-4 folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the H-4 folder into your main Decals folder.

    14. [Fictional] McDonnell Douglas F-4EZ Phantom

      McDonnell Douglas F-4EZ Phantom for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-4E_78 to create a fictional South African Air Force F-4EZ Phantom in service with No.2 Squadron in the following schemes and timeframes;
      1. 1979-1981 A 'Mirage F.1CZ' style scheme with tricolour fin and 'Springbok' national markings.
      2. 1982-2002 As above but with the later style of national markings.
      3. 2003-2012 Final Grey scheme with toned-down national markings.
      It goes without saying that you must have the F-4E_78 LOD's in your install and you'll also need the Mirage 3CZ DLC for the V3B Kukri and serial number decals although there are some easy workarounds if you don't. 
      The idea for this 'what if' came from Stratos who created the 'Mirage F.1CZ' style skin whilst I did the tank skins, decals and packaging so it's an Anglo-Spanish joint venture and we hope that you enjoy it!

      BACKSTORY
      During the mid-1970's the South African Government made tentative enquiries regarding purchasing the McDonnell Douglas Phantom for the South African Air Force (SAAF) with no success but in February 1977 the incoming Democrat President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, and the South African State President Nicolaas Diederichs agreed to the purchase of 30 F-4EZ's for delivery in 1979 and these were among the very last St. Louis-built Phantoms produced.
      Entering service with No.2 Squadron 'The Flying Cheetahs' of the SAAF the F-4EZ's initially operated from Hoedspruit AFB before moving to Louis Trichardt AFB in early 1993. With SAAF Impalas, Buccaneers and Mirage F.1CZ's operating in the ground-attack role the Phantoms saw limited action in the Border War but at least four Angolan MiG-21's and two Mi-17 helicopters were shot down by No.2 Squadron. The surviving F-4EZ's were finally retired in 2019 when they replaced by Eurofighter Typhoons.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-4EZ folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-4EZ folder into your main Decals folder.
      3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the V3B4 folder into your main Weapons folder. 
      That's it!

      CREDITS
      Thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
      Muchas gracias to Stratos for the superb SAAF 'Mirage F.1CZ' style skin created with a little bit of help from Ludo on SAAF colours and Sundowner's legendary F-4E templates - thanks guys!
      And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

    15. [Fictional] Mikoyan MiG-21bis Parani Air Force

      Mikoyan MiG-21bis 'Paran' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire MiG-21bis to create a fictional export version in service with the Parani Air Force during 1978-2002. The skin is by Paulopanz and I've added a matching drop tank and a fictional Parani missile named 'Zulfiqar' (basically a license-built version of the R.550 Matra Magic) with a matching skin. It goes without saying that you must have the stock MiG-21bis in your install but the skin could be renamed to fit most other stock MiG-21's.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the MiG-21bisP folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the MiG-21bisP folder into your main Decals folder.
      3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_PARAN folder into you main Pilots folder.
      4. From the SOUNDS folder drag and drop the SOVIET_DRY and SOVIET_WET files into your main Sounds folder.
      5. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the TANK_MiG21BISP and ZULFIQAR folders into your main Weapons folder.
      That's it!

    19. F-101A & C VooDoo. SF.2 2019 Redux.

      Reworked pack of F-101A and C VooDoo.
      Generally old good VooDoo in new dresses.
      There are some small changes in data.ini files mostly in weapon stations section - so Backup your original file. You might not like it.
       
      Despite VooDoo is extremely sexy aircraft it is much useless. Unfortunately. It was designed to be something different but had to serve in a totally different role. Nuclear Strike Aircraft. 
      Because I'm always doing mods my way - to fit my needs. I wanted to have squadrons that used  "fighting 101". So the thing is...this is one aircraft -  because squadrons contained a mix of A and C versions and this aircraft had very limited use I decided to make one aircraft to cover both A and C version.
      By default, I used A version limits.   Anyway, differences were only in the internal structure of airframe. 
      Airframe 54-1491 served as CO aircraft in 27th TFW. So in the early sixties, it will pop up in special markings for 78th, 91st, and 92nd squadrons. 
      If you want separate aircraft A and C you will have to do it on your own. Decals/serials for C are marked in numbers.lst with 'dot' .  
       
      All new skins in 3072x3072 resolution. New bump maps and specular maps. also in 3072.. plus decals to cover A and C models serial numbers.
      Pack contains 11 skin sets for early use by 27th TFW and then 81st TFW - all squadrons that ever used F-101A / C  (from different time periods to cover years of usage).
      All new decals consisting of 95 serial numbers for block 20-35 of A version and block  40-55 for C version. 

      Backup your original F-101 Folders. Also Decals!
      Pack also includes the Mk.7 Tactical Nuclear Bomb.  New model quickly made for purposes of this pack. 
       
      And an extra thing for squadron/wing geeks - set of skins for squadron hack. 
       
      Credits:
      Original models ErikGen
      yakarov - skins / decals / some small ini tweak / Mk.7 model
      Soulfreak - original skin for an extra thing. 
       
      Have Fun.
      May the VooDoo be with you.

    21. [Fictional] Republic F-105H Thunderchief

      This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-105D to create a fictional export version in service with the Hellenic Air Force during the 1967-1982 timeline.
      Markings are included for the 340th Fighter-Bomber Squadron and the 341st Fighter-Bomber Squadron with the latter having the stock sharkmouth - easily switched to both or neither. A patch template is also included in case you'd like to add your own HAF squadron. 

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-105H folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-105H folder into your main Decals folder.

    22. [Fictional] Ilyushin IL-28 'Beagle' Fuerza Aérea Argentina

      Ilyushin IL-28 'Beagle' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire IL-28 to give a flyable (and fictional) IL-28 in service with the Fuerza Aérea Argentina  with markings for;
      Grupo 1 de Bombardeo in the silver scheme as delivered.
      Grupo 2 de Bombardeo in the later 'sea grey' scheme selected for 'over-water' operations.
      I've put a patch.psd 'template' in there in case you'd like to switch things around and have both in silver or both in grey.

      COCKPIT
      I've used the A-4B pit as I think the cockpit framing looks quite suitable and the pit is nice and low-tech. The disadvantages are that there is no radar (not that the Beagle's radar was of much use) and that the A-4B pit is, of course, single-enginned. However, you can easily switch to another stock pit or go third-party.
       
      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the IL-28_FAA folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the IL-28_FAA folder into your Decals folder.
      3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_COAN folder into your Pilots folder.
      That's it!

      Viper 01/18/2019   ------------------------------------------------------------- Original Readmes:
      -------------------------------------------------------------   SF2 USAF/NATO/Western Cargo Planes by Veltro2K     3/20/2013 -For SF2, Any and All- This is a re-release of these aircraft, as some have stated a desire to have them again.
      This pak includes all my reskins, decals, ini tweeks from the various "upgrade paks" I'd released before the aircraft were disappeared.
      This pak contains =ONLY= those aircraft used by the USAF, our Allies and other NATO powers. The Soviet/Warsaw Pact transports are someplace else.... Included in this pack are: C-141A Starlifer
      C-141B Starlifter
      C-5A Galaxy
      C-17 Globemaster III
      G-222 Spartan (called such in USAF service) Some may be more complete than others, with regards to decals and such. Some are fairly 'untouched', and will need further decaling, etc. Some hangar and loading screens are NOT in SF2 format, and will need redoing (meaning: I never got around to them!).
      All the original readmes from the Upgrade Paks (I could find!) are included within this main folder. I'd reccomend reading them, just for fun! Skin and some decal templates (again, when I could find them!) are included. The decal template is for the "ttag" decal, that is for USAF AMC usage.
      This pak is quite large, as the skins remain in their bmp format. You can convert to jpg at you convience. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations. Also, the Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft.
      For those that still have the original releases, you may not need to reapply this package. But, to be safe, PLEASE check over your aircraft to be sure. Thank You :). **These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. There are/may be some issues with the LOD that may not/cannot be resolved. Period. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created. For now.** ------------------------------------------------ =TO INSTALL: As I always reccomend, unzip the "sf2_veltro2k_cargoplanes_pak.zip" to a temp folder or your desktop or somewhere else that's easy to find Then, simply, copy/paste the Objects folder supplied directly =OVER= your existing /Objects folder.
      Copy/Paste the supplied Sounds folder directly OVER your existing /Sounds folder
       
      You'll probably be asked "OVERWRITE?", just say Yes. I've already seperated out the various folders (Aircraft, Decals, etc), so they'll drop right where they're supposed to be. ----------------------------
      Notes: Again, as these are considered "heavies", they are best left under AI control, even though they all have cockpits. What can be done with them, I've not too many clues...however, with the SF2 mission builder, they can be inserted into campaigns, single missions and a host of other opportunities that present themselves. Use you imagination. If there is a HUGE hugh and cry, perhaps I can be moved to locate all the Soviet transports Veltro did....if I can find where I put them!

This package =ONLY= contains the data inis for the aircraft listed below. You will still need to locate the original aircraft. It is highly suggested (read: REQUIRED) that you have SF2NA as part of your merged installs, as several of these reference the stock 3W Tu-95 Bear destroyed model. Some reference the stock 3W An-12, Tu-16 or B-52D (SF2V) destroyed models as well. Flight Models remain "as issued"; they've not been touched by me. All New Data Inis Included in this pack are for: C-5A Galaxy
      C-17 Globemaster II
      C-141A Starlifter
      C-141B Starlifter
      G-222/C-27 Spartan
      E-767
      KC-767 (KC-46)
      Nimrod MR.1 (RAF ASW/Martime Patrol)
      Br.1150 Atlantique  (ASW/Martime Patrol)
      PB-1W Navy Fortress (USN 1940s/50s AEW - B-17) DC-8 *
      B-747  Pan Am"Jumbo Jet" *The DC-8 mods are for the package by Daddyairplanes*
      All aircraft have had their data inis reworked to correct, add, move, remove or generally "fix" all the hit boxes, relocate components (ie: fuel tanks, as best as possible inside the airframe) and in general clean up many things that simply escaped notice. The exception here is the Pan Am 747, which gets a partly repainted skin, with all new 100% accurate civil registration number decals (18) AND their matching "Clipper" names. Decal Randomization is "TRUE". The 747 and DC-8s also get an avionics upgrade (GM radar). Some sounds are included; you may have them alread, or not; but I like "to be sure". Please note, some of these aircraft may NOT be in the SF2 downloads section; one will need to Search the SF1/Wo* (1stGen) downloads. Equally important, is to HAVE the aircraft installed =BEFORE= installing this Upgrade Pack. Kinda makes sense, right? <gr> 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!

      ==========
      To Install: Another reminder: ****HAVE THE AIRCRAFT INSTALLED TO YOUR SF2 MODS FOLDER OF CHOICE =BEFORE= INTALLING THE UPDATE/UPGRADE PACKAGE.**** As always reccomended, unzip the "sf2_v2k_western_heavies_upgrade_pak" to a temp folder or your desktop or somewhere that's easy to find. Copy/Paste the /Objects folder DIRECTLY into the SF2 game install of choice's /Objects folder. It's already divided into the /Aircraft and /Decals sub-folders. You'll asked to "Overwrite?" , just say yes. It'll change nothing. Copy/Paste the included /Sounds folder DIRECTLY over you existing Sounds folder. Allow the "Overwrite". I've included sounds you may already have, but wanted to be sure that (nearly) everything was available to the End User (tm). That should cover it, go fly! -----------------------------
      Credits:
      Veltro2k for the aircraft themselves

      Me, for taking on the job.
      TMF for the destroyed 707, used with the DC-8s Sources:
      see original readmes ------------
      Other Notes and Nonsense: Included are the original Data inis, already backed up, in case you End Users (tm) don't appriciate all the hard work that goes into creating, giving, and keeping up the Mods we do. Remember, these mostly exist for "Eye Candy" and Targets (tm), but I felt it was well worth the effort to try and correct the hit boxes. Also, remember they're really not to be Player Usable, even with cockpit, as the Game Engine has no coding for their proper usage. But, have fun anyway! A note about the destroyed model usage: While not 100%, we work with what we have, after all, it's just a burning, dead wreck on the ground. If a 3d Modeler (tm) wants to build crashed birds; go for it, I says! I know the "Clipper **" name decals are in the wrong font, but after spending an hour and half trying to FIND the correct one, just chose to use one of my script fonts. Deal with it <g>. At present, there are NO plans whatsoever to update the individual aircraft packages. End Users are on their own to locate the aircraft in the CombatAce downloads sections and apply this fix-it pack. --------------------------- If you have any problems, questions, comments, I can be reached in the usual places; CombatAce, SimHQ, or p0rn sites.

      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the E-2K folder into your Decals folder.
      That's it!
