      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This mod represents Sikorsky model of RH-53D. 12 aircrafts were ordered by Imperial Iranian Navy. Only six delivered before revolution. Add then all six remained in newly formed Islamic Republic of Iran Navy Aviation. 
      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-53A and CH-53D_70. Many things were changed and as tested Overwriting may caouse 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.
      Some changes and rearrangements in the cockpit

      ******************IMPORTANT******************
      FaAkePilot mod neede to run this mod. 
      As always.
      This addon works with my CargoPACK (included in rar file). All of the weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course, you can edit and use any other weapons available. 
      Standard commands:
      LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. 
      ANIMATION 1 - right side door.
      ANIMATION 2 - left hatch cabin windows
      ANIMATION 3 - wipers outside/inside
      ANIMATION 10 - Winch
      Parking animations.
      Two parking animations included one for 'on land base' and other for 'on board' parking.
      You can fold tail and rotor by enabling animation in data.ini  file. But it looks silly. And my intention for this animation was eye candy on board vessel.

      With little practice, you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
      Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
      With heavy cargo load probably you need little run on A model as engines on A are little underpowered.
      Normaly throtle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 70% then slowly more and more, wait and it will take off. 
       
      Cockpits.
      Newly upgraded cockpit based on NATOPS manual. Mirrors working now and showing correct image.
      Fuel usage is not super perfect but compared to all previous H-53 models released here fuel gauges are working.

      Skins.
      All serial numbers are based on available photos, are historically correct. 
      Weapons.
      This addon works with my CargoPACK (included in rar file). All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course you can edit and use any other weapons available. Here is experimental Mk105 minesweeper sled different than in previous CH-53D pack. This one is only for RH-53D. To see Mk105 open cargo bay.

      Cargo loads.
      I am releasing this cargo load in the current condition. So maybe some skins needs to be adjusted.
      Cargo loads includes few cargo crates for cargo bay and hook, howitzer, MUTTs. Skins for MUTTS - Thank yo The Trooper.

      IMPORTANT - 
      Due to 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. 
      Skins.
      1977 Imperial Iranian Navy
      Islamic Republic of Iran Navy Aviation with 3 skins 1979 paint inherited from IINavy, Grey paint introduced somewhere in 90's and late current azure blue salamander camo.
      Good to add nations ini entry regarding new "nation" created - Islamic Republic of Iran Navy /Imperial Iranian Navy.
      otherwise, you will have to change nation name to Iran.

      Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots.  

      Have fun.
      Edit and report bugs.
      Jarek Hereda.
      Thanks.

    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
      - pilot, weapons, sounds
      - all planes built serials
      Credits:
      - Vetro 2k: original T.7 model
      - Yakarov79: nightfigher upgrade modelling 
      - paulopanz: skins, decals etc
      Operations:
      - key 10 canopy open
       


      Enjoy!

    3. Gloster Meteor T.7 -Template-

      Gloster Meteor T.7
      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. 
      Mod is using standard TW fuel tanks 100 and 175 gal.
      It will not work on SF1 gen game. 
      This model is based on Veltro2k model of Meteor T.7  uploaded on CA somewhere in 2016 by paulopanz.
      Some time ago few guys decided (because they have a chance to do so) to rework this pretty aircraft. So, first of all, thank you Veltro2k.
      Although.
      There is just very few original parts of an old model. Most of it was remodeled. Added bits here and there. 
      This model has a slightly updated lod file so you can overwrite files from the previous packs:
       
      This mod contains only one generic skin without any national markings. Decals.ini file is not provided.
      This mod is uploaded with an intention that the community will develop this mod...skins, decals etc. So do not expect tons of skins, serials, and decals...You have to do it on your own. I did my part. 
      And yes I'm aware that we have Gloster Meteor F.8 - but this is my approach... 
      Templates in PSD format are provided.
      Credits.
      Veltro2k  - the original model of T.7
      Me -  model rework and then rework again, mapping and some other mambo jumbo like skins etc...
       76.IAP-Blackbird - also model re-working.
      Charles - original FM from original T.7 upload. 
      seat - all credits to creator - unfortunately I don't remember who made this seat.
      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.
      Have fun
      Report bugs.
      Expect the unexpected

       - First, download the "Meteors_Over_Israel" bunch from here to get the LODs:
        
        https://combatace.com/files/file/16825-meteors-over-israel-sf2/
       - Once downloaded, just install it as the Readme says.
       - To install this Egypt Meteor, drop the "Meteor_NF13(REAF)" to the main "Aircraft" game folder. After that, copy/paste the LODs from "Meteors_Over_Israel" NF.13 to  "Meteor_NF13(REAF)" directory.
       - The cockpit used many aircraft parts mixed with TW cockpit by the "OpenCockpit=TRUE" method. I did some tweak over Jarek originals to make it more
       realistic.
       - The skin depicts the Meteor NF.13 from Royal Egypt Air Force (REAF) unknown squadron during the "Suez Crisis". Six were delivered and half were downed.

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This mod represents Sikorsky model of RH-53D. It was used mainly by US NAVY Mine countermeasure units. At the end, of service time RH-53D were passed to USMC reserve units, where served as transport/heavy lift helicopters. Some were still used during Desert Shield/Storm operations in 1991. Finally, RH-53D was written off from units in 1996.
      12 aircrafts were also ordered by Imperial Iranian Navy. Only six delivered before the revolution. Add then all six remained in the newly formed Islamic Republic of Iran Navy Aviation. 
      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 RH-53D_70. Many things were changed and as tested Overwriting may cause some problems...So delete old ones put new ones.

      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.
      Some changes and rearrangement in a cockpit

      ******************IMPORTANT******************
      FakePilot mod neede to run this mod. 
      As always with my mods.
      This addon works with my CargoPACK (included in rar file). All of the weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course, you can edit and use any other weapons available. 
      Standard commands:
      LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploys/retract at any speed. 
      ANIMATION 1 - right side door.
      ANIMATION 2 - left hatch cabin windows
      ANIMATION 3 - wipers outside/inside
      ANIMATION 4 - Refueling probe - H key (hook by default) will change seat position to see a tip of the IFR probe.
      ANIMATION 10 - Winch
      Parking animations.
      Two parking animations included one for 'on land base' and other for 'on board' parking.
      You can fold tail and rotor by enabling animation in data.ini  file. But it looks silly. And my intention for this animation was eye candy on board vessel.

      Newly upgraded cockpit based on NATOPS manual. Mirrors working now and showing correct image.
      Fuel usage is not super perfect but compared to all previous H-53 models released here fuel gauges are working.

      Skins.
      All serial numbers are based on available photos, NAVY and USMC documents and are historically correct. 
      Weapons.
      The only "offensive" weapon is left/right side gunner. Well, I'm straffing convoys with it with great success.
      Important - if there is no gunner - fake weapon (no gun/empty) must be loaded. For now, it must be this way.
      Same as default should be loaded Mk103 minesweep. This is allowing top cargobays to be seen. 
      This addon works with my CargoPACK (included in rar file). All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course, you can edit and use any other weapons available. Here is experimental Mk105 minesweeper sled different than in previous CH-53D pack. This one is only for RH-53D. To see Mk105 open cargo bay.
      Also, you can add refueling probe. At the beginning of service, this aircraft has only provisions for refueling probe.

      Cargo loads.
      I am releasing this cargo load in current condition. So maybe some skins needs to be adjusted.
      Cargo loads includes few cargo crates for cargo bay and hook, howitzer, MUTTs. Skins for MUTTS - Thank yo The Trooper.

      IMPORTANT - 
      Due to the construction of this mod it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard, you may have some complications on airfield - especially with underslung cargo load. 
      Skins.
      All serial numbers, as far as I know, are based on photos and US Army docs and are historically correct.
      US Navy
       - HMH-12 'Sea Dragons' 1977
       - HMH-16 'Seahawks' 1979 
       - HMH-14 'Vanguard'  1981
       - HMH-18 'Norsemen' 1987
       - VR-24 World's Biggest Little Airline, Helos on COD duties.

      USMC - special for use in Desert Storm mod if needed:
       - HMH-772 Det.A 
      Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots. 
      As bonus there is Eagle Claw folder -easy to find. Inside - skins for sand repainted RH-53D  - also replacement file for lod and deta.ini file -       this wil make EAPS dissapear. So backup original lod and data file before using Eagle Claw mod.  So yo were warned.

      Have fun.
      Edit and report bugs.

      This mod represents a Late model of CH-53D with installed EAPS and auxiliary fuel tanks. I've split this model into two versions. Early with RWR blisters and AN/ALE-39 flare/chaff dispenser and late with some more blisters, new doubled CMD dispensers and ALQ-144 IR jammer on fuel tank pylons.
      Ant this will be the last model of Sea Stallion from me.

      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-53A and CH-53D_70. 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.
      Some changes and rearrangement in the cockpit

      FAkePilot mod neede to run this mod. 
      As always.
      This addon works with my CargoPACK (included in rar file). All of the weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course, you can edit and use any other weapons available. 
      Standard commands:

      LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. 
      ANIMATION 1 - right side hatch and door.
      ANIMATION 2 - left hatch cabin windows
      ANIMATION 3 - wipers outside/inside
      Parking animations.
      Two parking animations included one for 'on land base' and other for 'on board' parking.
      I'm including two vessels moded as USMC nation. (same as in AH-1J pack) so you can practice start and land. 
      Those ships have moded catapults, deck and arresting cables in a data.ini file. 
      Those ships are limited only to those used during the Vietnam War on WestPac/SEA cruises.
      You can fold tail and rotor by enabling animation in data.ini  file. But it looks silly. And my intention for this animation was eye candy on board vessel.

      With little practice, you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
      Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
      With heavy cargo load probably you need little run on A model as engines on A are little underpowered.
      Normally throttle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 70% then slowly -more and more, wait and it will take off. 
      It is possible to land on board two included ships. don't forget about a hook.
       
      Cockpits.
      New upgraded cockpit based on NATOPS manual.
      Fuel usage is not super perfect but compared to all previous H-53 models released here fuel gauges are working.

      Few differences between models mostly in humps/bumps/sensors dispensers.
      Skins.
      All serial numbers are based on available photos, and USMC documents and are historically correct. 
      Weapons.
      The only "offensive" weapon is left/right side gunner. Well, it is a quite defensive weapon.
      Cargo loads.
      I am releasing this cargo load in the current condition. So maybe some skins needs to be adjusted.
      Cargo loads include few cargo crates for cargo bay and hook, howitzer, MUTTs. Skins for MUTTS - Thank yo The Trooper.

      Skins.
      All serial numbers, as far as I know, are based on photos and US Army docs and are historically correct.
      One specific folder for Desert Storm Mod Fans. including one of two units operating D model during Desert Storm.
      HMH-462
      Model 80 
      two generic paints green and 3color paint scheme.
      Model 99 
      HMH-362, HMH-363 and HMH-463 operating CH-53D at the end of service of this aircraft. In 2012 CH-53D was finally retired.
      IMPORTANT - 
      Due tu construction of this mod it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard you may have some complications on airfield - especialy with underslung cargo load. 
      Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots. 
      This mod still needs some work. But I am afraid that if I will not upload it, I might never fully finish.
      Have fun.
      Edit and report bugs.

      Copy all files to specific folders in your game mod directory. 

      ANIMATION 1 & 2 - cockpit doors.
      open bomb bay - open cargo doors - you will figure out why/how etc. 
      This is beta file. Some small ini edits might be needed. 
      I was planning to make it bigger but I've lost 'thing' for it..but of course you can play with it.
      For now and in near future I will not work on it - so honestly, I am abandoning it.
      Better to share than keep it on a hard drive.
       Aircraft include my generic Bell Huey cockpit.
      Pack includes one helicopter with 1 very generic skin and PSD templates so anyone can create any skin desired.
      Flying.
      As with all my previous helos flying is quite easy. 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 55% wait little and then increase to 100% and helo will take off nicely.

      Have fun.
      Hope you will enjoy it same as me when working on it.

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This mod represents Late model of CH-53A already with instaled EAPS and early models oF CH-53D with uprated engines.
      A model never received aux fuel tanks and were used until 1992. At the end of service mostly by reserve units.
      D model /early/ was used also until around 1992.  Not every D model was upgraded so in this config they were flying until the 90s.

      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-53A and CH-53D_70. 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 you can be overwrite 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.
      Some changes and rearrangement in the cockpit

      ******************IMPORTANT******************
      FAkePilot mod neede to run this mod. 
      As always.
      This addon works with my CargoPACK (included in rar file). All of the weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course, you can edit and use any other weapons available. 
      Standard commands:

      LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. 
      ANIMATION 1 - right side hatch and door.
      ANIMATION 2 - left hatch cabin windows
      ANIMATION 3 - wipers outside/inside
      Parking animations.
      Two parking animations included one for 'on land base' and other for 'on board' parking.
      Im including two vessels moded as USMC nation.(same as in AH-1J pack) so you can practice start and land. 
      Those ships have moded catapults, deck and arresting cables in data.ini file. 
      Those ships are limited only to those used during Vietnam War on WestPac/SEA cruises.
      You can fold tail and rotor by enabling animation in data.ini  file. But it looks silly. And my intention for this animation was eye candy on board vessel.

      With little practice, you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
      Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
      With heavy cargo load probably you need little run on A model as engines on A are little underpowered.
      Normally throttle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 70% then slowly more and more, wait and it will take off. 
      It is possible to land on board two included ships. don't forget about a hook.
       
      Cockpits.
      One cockpit based on NATOPS manual, an early model for both A and early D model.

      Both models are similar. The only difference is in engine power. D model is 'stronger' so it's easier with heavy loadouts. And only D can tow 'experimental' Mk105 minesweeper.

      Skins.
      All serial numbers are based on available photos, and USMC documents and are historically correct. 
      Weapons.
      The only "offensive" weapon is left/right side gunner. Well, it is a quite defensive weapon.
      Ah.. there is Napalm barrel bombs. Used in Vietnam War. Inside _WingsOverVietnam_Only Addon Folder
      ...BOOM.
      Cargo loads.
      I am releasing this cargo load in current condition. So maybe some skins needs to be adjusted.
      Cargo loads include few cargo crates for cargo bay and hook, howitzer, MUTTs. Skins for MUTTS - Thank yo The Trooper.

      in 1973 USMC joined NAVY in operation End Sweep and equipped their D model (HMH-463 only) with minesweeping stuff. So here you can "tow" Mk105 minesweeper. It is just interim mk105. V.2 is under development.
      To see Mk105 open cargo bay.
      IMPORTANT - 
      Due to construction of this mod it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard, you may have some complications on airfield - especially with underslung cargo load. 
      Countermeasures.
      I've deleted Countermeasures from weapon loadout. 

      Skins.
      All serial numbers, as far as I know, are based on photos and US Army docs and are historically correct.
      CH-53A in Vietnam used by HMH-463 and HMH-361.
      In mid-80s A model was still in use by some units. One of the last unit to use CH-53A was HMH-772 until 1992 when they send A to AMARC.
      Also in mid-80s ( I believe it was in middle or late) US Navy composite squadron VC-1 was using old ex-marine CH-53A until 1992 when they send them to AMARC. I think they were using only these two aircrafts.
      CH-53D
      Few paintings fro different years,  early green early 80s green and tri-color mid-80s.
      HMH-361, HMH-362, HMH-461, HMH-461 - two schemes one - 78 from a trip to Japan and one 1973 during Operation End Sweep.

      Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots. 
      This mod still needs some work. Will be working on it. 
      Have fun.
      Edit and report bugs.

    15. SF2 USAF F-35 redux

      Here's my rework of the original SF2 F-35A from FastCargo's F-35A/B/C Lightning II V 2.5 for SF2 pack. It includes USAF F-35A only, so there are no B/C or foreign operators versions (maybe I'll do them in the future). This pack was created and tested with full 5 merged install of SF2 with latest patch.
      My main objective was to make this aircraft more reallistic by reworking the skins (RAM coatings, panel lines etc.), loadouts and other minor .ini changes. The afterburner is changed to the Viper Burner by The Viper Team and the pilot is changed to the one with JHMCS.
      Following squadrons are included:
      4th FS, 388th FW, Hill AFB, UT 31st TES, 53d TEG, Eglin AFB, FL 34th FS, 388th FW, Hill AFB, UT 58th FS, 33d OG, Eglin AFB, FL 61st FS, 56th OG, Luke AFB, AZ 62d FS, 56th OG, Luke AFB, AZ 63d FS, 56th OG, Luke AFB, AZ 422d TES, 53d TEG, Eglin AFB, FL All aircraft numbers are real and come from this site: http://www.f-16.net/aircraft-database/F-35/serials-and-inventory/airforce/USAF/
      The default loadouts are all-internal. Presets with external stores are also included to use with in-game mission editor. Most weapons come from Ravenclaw's Weapons Pack 2. Loadouts do not include external fuel tanks as they are not used in real life.
      Reworked skin template based on DoctorWho's template is included. It is suitable for F-35A only. Feel free to create new skins, give me credit when publishing.
      Installation: 
      Firstly, if you are new to SF2, please head to The Knowledge base and read about Mod Folders and installing mods. It is highly recommended to delete your previous version of F-35A from your Aircraft folder. After doing this, copy all the content of "To Mods Folder" folder to your mod folder. Overwrite when asked.
      Credits:
      FastCargo - original F-35A/B/C Lightning II V 2.5 for SF2 pack ravenclaw_007 - weapons The Viper Team - Viper afterburner DoctorWho - original F-35A/B skin template You can use my work included in this pack under the terms of Combatace Freeware License.

    16. CF-121Redhawk

      In 1959 Canada bought 30 Soviet Mig-21F Fishbeds. With the failure of the Avro Arrow Canada needed some high speed interceptors
      but this project only lasted over 2 years before selling them off.
      The F-101B Voodoo was Canadas main interceptor purchased from the USAF to fill the needs.

    17. F104M from Cocas and Co

      The F104M by CAF team, 3d work by Cocas, skins by Nyghtfall, other ini work by Coupi, testing by Stratos, Coupi, Wrench, Nyghtfall.
      Some small whatif background: 
      The Lockheed F104M was a 1960s company-funded proposal for an improved air superiority Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. It was intended for both the USAF and the export market and was in direct competition with the Northrop F-5E Tiger II, Dassault Mirage F1 and the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II. Lockheed hoped to capitalize on its F-104 production experience through commonality of parts and systems, and minimize expenses by reusing tooling, jigs and existing factory facilities. 
      Borrowing heavily from the F-104 design the new type featured a new high-mounted, increased span wing and low-mounted, enlarged tailplanes. Both features were incorporated to improve flight handling characteristics and short-field performance. 
      The F104M was heavily focused for the USAF, trying to sell it as a improved dogfighter variant of the F104 interceptor. Seeing how the F104 small payload and relatively low agility can be a problem If dogfight capability ever arise, the USAF decided to try several prototypes. They liked the plane so much that several squadrons were equipped with the plane that formed part of the USAF until mid 70's.
       
      Included: One plane with several skins and variations.

    18. F104L from Cocas and Co

      The F104L by CAF team, 3d work by Cocas, skins by Nyghtfall, other ini work by Coupi, testing by Stratos, Coupi, Wrench, Nyghtfall.
      Some small whatif background: 
      The Lockheed F104L was a 1950s company-funded proposal for an embarked Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. It was intended for both the USN and Lockheed hoped to capitalize on its F-104 production experience through commonality of parts and systems, and minimize expenses by reusing tooling, jigs and existing factory facilities. 
      Borrowing heavily from the F-104 design the new type featured a strenghtened landing gear, corrosion portection, increased span wing and of course catapult and arreting gear additions.
      The F104L was a specific product for the USN and the USMC, trying to sell it as a fast interceptor with better payload and range than the USAF F104. Both USN and USMC bought a good amount of planes and it saw service in both forces during the Vietnam war as a fighter for the USN and as a STRIKE and CAS airplane for the MARINES. Both services praised the speed and capability of the new planes, but also criticized the slow speed handling, that posed serious problem for a carrier aircraft.
      After getting several kills and a good service record in Vietnam, planes were retired froma ctive duty in 1972, altought USMC used the plane for fast Strike for more several years.
       
      Included: Skins for USN VF162 and for USMC VMFA311

    19. Turkish Air Force F-104S

      Turkey is one of the very first countries to receive the F-104Gs within the MAP program. As a preparation for the new aircraft the 144th Squadron was organised at the 4th AB in Mürted-Ankara. The first 15 aircraft arrived on May 10th,1963 by sea and they were deployed at the newly founded squadron in July. In July 1963 two TF-104gs arrived and they were also assigned to the same squadron. This was followed by Canadair produced 18 F-104Gs and 2 TF-104Gs. The shipment continued in 1965 with 5 more Canadair built F-104Gs. All of these planes were deployed at the 144th Squadron. In 1968 3 pcs F-104G and 1 pc TF-104G were received from USAF.
      The TuAF faced with the US embargo after the Cyprus peace-keeping Operation ordered a batch of 18 F-104S from Italy. 6 of the planes were delivered within the same year and the remainder in 1975 on the basis of the planes per month. In 1975 the purchase was risen to 40 planes all which were received within 1976.
      The CF-104s, F-104Gs, TF-104Gs and the RF-104Gs which were strated being replaced by more modern aircraft were despatched to Turkey. This operation included 17 pcs F-104Gs from Belgium, 43 pcs F-104Gs & 12 pcs TF-104Gs from Holland, 12 pcs RF-104G and one TF-104G from Norway and 165 pcs F-104Gs and 36 pcs TF-104Gs from Germany. Canada also promised to hand over the CF-104s after being replaced by the F-18A/Bs. In 1986 44 pcs CF-104G & 6 pcs CF-104D were received. These planes were allocated to the 181st and to the 182nd Squadrons.
       Within the elapsing time the TuAF F-104Gs started aging and they were withdrawn from active duty one by one. Some were even used as spare parts for those which were still in active duty. The last ones were the CF-104s of the 182nd Squadron when replaced by F-16C/Ds in 1996.

    20. SF2 WW2 MTO B-25C/D Mitchell Bomber Pak

      SF2 WW2 MTO B-25C/D Mitchell Bomber Pak 8/2/2017
       
      -- Something for the WW2 MTO players --
       
      = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      *Please note, this aircraft was supposed to be released several years ago (in August, 2014!!), and somehow managed to slip out of sight. I hope this corrects that mistake.*
       
      **Note: This mod will -NOT- work in 1stGen game installs at any patch level. Also, for those End Users � attempting to use this aircraft in an SF2 converted version of the DAT's WoA Pak, be advised of probable conflicts.**
       
      This is a "Theatre Specific" release of Veltro2K's =NEW= B-25C/D Mitchell Medium Bomber. This represents the "glass nosed" bomber version as used in the MTO. This is the FULL aircraft, with just about all the necessary parts supplied.
       

      There are 4 skin/decals set(s) in the package:
       
      "Early" - with star/circle
      "Late" - star-and-bar, post September, 1943.
      For the following units:
       
      81st BS, 12th BG
       
      83rd BS, 12th BG
       
      This mods uses the Brain32 trick, with the skinmap in the main aircraft folder. The aircraft is finished in Sand (desert pink) over neutral gray. This represents the 12th BG from it's arrival in theatre to late 1943.
      All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. The aircraft carries the "plain star-in-blue-circle" used until Sept 1943. The SF2 "date switch" will turn on in September, 1943 for the 'star and bar' insignia.
       
      Engine sounds, pilot figures, and skin-specific Hangar Screens are included. Weapons, guns, bombs, etc, are NOT; you should have them already. Operational service dates are rounded to 'whole months', and ARE relatively correct for ALL in-theatre usage (7/42-12/43 although it is likely several served longer, even when the H & J models reached MTO squadron service).
       
      When in game, you'll see
       
      B-25C/D Mitchell (v2k)
       
      on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu. This will differentiate it from any other B-25s you may (or may not) have.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!
       
      Happy Landings!!

    21. 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.

    22. SF2 WW2 PTO CAC Wirraway

      SF2 WW2 CAC Wirraway Pak by bunyap
      -- Something for the Oz PTO players --
      = For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
      *There is a distinct possibility that this mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, due to the excessive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment.*
      This package contains bunyap's CAC Wirraway, modded to SF2, as seen in New Guinea 1942-43(ish). The skin represents 4 Squadron, RAAF at this early war time period. This is the complete aircraft, with all new skin and decals.
      New (semi)compliant SF2 FM was cobbled together. As has become expected, the FM is NOT perfect, and needs further fine-tuning by Experts.
      All skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
      As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Remember -- these are very old models, so they "are as they is". The original readme is included.
      For our friends Down Under!!
       
      Good Hunting!

    24. SF2 F-15C OANG Add-On for the SF2 F-15 Eagle Super Pack Redux 2018 Pack - The Mudhen Team

      SF2 F-15C Oregon Air National Guard Add-On for the SF2 F-15 Eagle Super Pack Redux 2018 Pack - The Mudhen Team   Please note that this pack is not compatible with the Fastcargo's F-15 Super Pack...You can make it work with some tweaking, but this pack was designed as an "Add-On" for the "SF2 F-15 Eagle Super Pack Redux 2018" Pack. Please do not install it and expect this pack to work with the Fastcargo's F-15 Super Pack because they are both F-15 packs...   You can install this pack "As-Is" (but not over Fastcargo's F-15 Super Pack, see above), but you need the "SF2 F-15 Eagle Super Pack Redux 2018" pack to fully enjoy this pack. If you use it as a stand-alone, some weapons, effects or other things may\will be missing. You will have a flyable plane, but miss out on some bells and whistles. I recommend the full pack below.     You can get the "SF2 F-15 Eagle Super Pack Redux 2018" pack here...    
      -------------------------------------------------------------
      What is in this pack:
      -------------------------------------------------------------
       
      1) 4096x Skins in JPG format and decals for the 114th Oregon Air National Guard - as requested by JosefK! Enjoy!
      2) Repainted Cockpits by Viper63a and RWR list by Spudknocker.
      3) Updated Data and Loadout files from Spudknocker and Fanatic Modder.
      4) 1920x1080 Hangar.jpg, Loading.jpg and Loadout.tga files.
      5) Excellent new weapons and ejection seats from Ravenclaw_007!
      6) Excellent Florian Pilot upgrades by JAT81500!
       
      ** Included Jets: F-15C From the 114th FS, 173rd Wing Oregon Air National Guard. Please note that the plane serial# are generic and randomized.
       
      ** Extras package contains: PSD Template and pix I used to make the plane.   -------------------------------------------------------------
      Installation:
      -------------------------------------------------------------   ** This is an "Add-On" for the "SF2 F-15 Eagle Super Pack Redux 2018" Pack. I have not tested this pack as a stand-alone. It should fly and work, but you may be missing some weapons in your load-out, effects or other things. I recommend that you install the "SF2 F-15 Eagle Super Pack Redux 2018" Pack first. At least the "Effects" and "Weapons" folders from the pack.   >> WARNING! I have not tested this pack with Fastcargo's F-15 Super Pack...Pretty sure there will be problems, so I do not recommend installing this pack over the Fastcargo's F-15 Super Pack. If you want to test it out,  rename the  "F-15C_02" folder in your...Objects\Aircraft mod folder...if it exists. You can then install this pack. You may be missing some weapons or effects, but you should be able to test fly the plane. After you're done, you can rename the folders back or reconcile the folders to get this pack to work with Fastcargo's F-15 Super Pack.   !! First and always - BACKUP! If you have "F-15C_02" folder in your Mod folders...Objects\Aircraft and Decals folders...Make a copy or back it up before installing.   ** To install, Copy the contents of the uncompressed "To_Mod_Folder" folder into your Saved Game mod folder. Overwrite any conflicts.   -------------------------------------------------------------
      Add F15 SoundList
      -------------------------------------------------------------   ** Lastly, this is optional but highly recommended. Read the "Add F15 SoundList.txt" readme file on adding the F-15 sound files included in this pack to your "Flight\SoundList.ini" file.   -------------------------------------------------------------   Thats it - Enjoy! Please report any bugs or issues via the "Support Topic" link...   -------------------------------------------------------------
