    1. [Fictional] BAC Lightning F.3N

      BAC (English Electric) Lightning F.3N for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
       
      This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire Lightning F.3 to create a fictional 'NATO standard' export version in service with the Italian and Spanish Air Forces.
       
      IMPORTANT: It goes without saying that you must have the stock Third Wire Lightning F.3 in your install meaning that you must have Expansion Pack 2 for Strike Fighters 2 Europe.
       

      INSTRUCTIONS
       
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Lightning3N folder into your Aircraft folder.
       
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Lightning3N folder into your main Decals folder.

    4. SF2 KAW Tu-2 "Bat" by Cocas

      The Tupolev Tu-2 was a medium bomber used by Soviet Air Force in WW2. Surplus Tu-2s were delivered to Chinese PLAAF post-war and organized into 3 bomber air divisions. During the Korean War, the 8th and 10th division conducted 3 air raids on Nov. 6th, 29th and 30th, 1951, against UN troops on Taehwa-do island, located about 70km southeast of the mouth of Yalu River. The first raid was most successful achieving acclaimed 90% hit rate. The third raid was intercepted by 4th FIW Sabres with heavy losses. Daylight sorties with prop driven bombers were thus phased out by both sides in the jet age.

    5. [Fictional] F-104I 'Kohav' (Star) for SF2:Europe

      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.

    7. AH-1J SeaCobra Over the Seven Seas ver.2016

      BELL AH-1J SEA COBRA Over the Seven Seas Ver 2.0 for SF2
      April 2016
       
      This is a third party add on of the AH-1J Sea Cobra using models and cockpits created by me.
      The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
      I have just modified it a bit.
      It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.

      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       
      WARNING!
       
      This is totaly new file. I highly recomend to backup your old files. OR just delete all old files. Even weapon folders. It is updated here.
      This is totaly new files and will not work in many parts with old.
       

      Also new cockpits included for both 69 and 80 versions.
       
      This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      AIRBRAKES - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - deploy arresting hook to land on aircraft carrier.
       
      LANDING GEAR - belly light deploy/retract at any speed. Don't forget to fold before shooting.
       
      A2A mode - gunner station guncross for turret.
       
      A2Ground mode - pilot M60 gunsight cross.
       
      ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       

      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
       
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       
      To take off from ship.
      Increase throttle realase brake.
      Or.
      Incrase throttle around 75% of throttle vector controll and then realase brake.
      Landing on ship.
      Aproach. Reduce speed using throttle vector controll. Realase hook. Slowly aproach matching speed with vessel and reducing altitude to deck height. Hit deck. Needs practice but it is easy.
       
      Catapult on deck are set 10cm higher than regular deck level. So aircraft is 'hovering' 10cm above deck. It must be this way since these vesseles are not supportin aircraft carrier operations. It is just fooling game engine.
       
      All serial numbers are historicaly correct and based on available documents.
       

      I divided models into three sub packs. Weapons,guns,sounds are common to every part.
      Models 69 and 80 in diferent packs are still same model it is made this way for specific game mod.
       
      Vietnam pack 69 model.
      HML-367 'Scareface' Marble Mountain 1971
      HMA-369 'Marhukers' Operation MARHUK USS Cleveland, USS Denver
       
      Desert Storm pack 80 model
      HMA-773 'Sea Cobras' USS New Orleans 1991
      HMA-775 'Coyotes' Camp Smith, Saudi Arabia 1991
       

      Wings Over Europe/North Atlantic/Mediterranean Sea and anywhere.
      69 model:
      HMM-263© Det.HMA-269 USS Guadalcanal 1975
      HMM-162© Det.HMA-269 USS Guadalcanal 1976 (I am not sure if BuNos and modex are 100% correct here)
      HMH-362© Det.HMA-269 USS Guadalcanal 1976
      HMM-262© Det.HMA-169 USS Tarawa 1979 (I am not sure if BuNos and modex are 100% correct here)
       
      80 model"
      semi fictional skins (serial numbers are correct for J mode but not sure all of them apeard in HMA -169
      HMA-169 'World Famous Vipers' Two skins early green and mid-late 80s tri color version.
      This unit used AH-1J until 1986. This skin is based on photos but serial numbers are not 100% correct. Those are real SeaCObra numbers but fictional for this unit. However numbers started with 159 were present in this unit.
       

      Optional files:
      Two navy ships LHA and LPD class. Converted to USMC service. So in single mission, player flight will start from ship. (Water map needed)
      Both with landing deck.
      Experimental lights on deck of LPD class ship. Credits to Fubar for his carrier lights pack.
       
      Weapons included.
       
      One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
      Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
       
      During late 70 Marines tested scoop exhaust like US Army on G model. There are just a few photos with this mod.
      Here in game it will apear for a while in 1976-1978. It doesn't do anything. Since there is no IR suppresion in game. It is just for look and fun factor.
       
      In 80's model there is ALQ-144 IR Jammer. Since ther is no IR Jamming in game it is just very weak jammer. you can turn it on but don't count on jamming.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using usnpilots by OldDiego. Not included.
      SOme pilots models might be too big for this helo.
       

      Instalation:
       
      Copy all files into specific folders.
       
      Sounds:
      For M197gatling sound copy the lines from SOUNDLIST ADDON to your soundlist ini file.
       
      Squadrons:
      Add specific entrys form Squadronlist addon to your squadron list.
       

      Enjoy.
      Edit your way.
      Report bugs.

    9. SF2 Vought TF-8 Crusader Pack (What If...)

      SF2 Vought TF-8 Crusader Pack 4/8/2016
       
      = For SF2 (Full-4/5 Merged Reccomended) =
       
      *Note: you =MUST= have, as stated above have, at minimum, a Full-4 merged install, as this mod makes use of many items, from several versions of the games. A Full 5 with NA is reccomended. There are many "bits" required, most notably the cockpit referenced is from the A-7E Corsair II.*
       
      This package contains a (somwhat) fictional outgrowth of the Vought F-8 Crusader. In the Real World ™, only ONE TF-8 Crusader was built (it's on display in the Naval Aviation Museum at Pensocla, FL). This assumes that Vought and the Navy chose to expand the production/refurbishment of early model Crusaders into the 2 seat variant seen here. The aircraft has expanded capabilites in both Air-to-Air and Air-to-Ground mission tasking (see Notes for more details on the factory modifications, and squadron decals used.)
       
      This package contains the following skin sets:
       
      USN, early (Gull Grey/White
      USMC, early (Gull Grey/White
      USN, Late (TPS low visibility grey)
      French Navy, early (Gull Grey/White)
      French Navy, late (Overall Blue) - both tagged for Flotille 12
       
      The SF2 "date switch" is used for the USN and French Skins. The USMC skin stays in Grey/white for it's service life. All skins are in jpg format. Damage textures are in DDS format.
      All markings are decals, and with few exceptions, reference stock 3W Modex and Squadron tail markings. Decal randomization for all skins is TRUE. All weapons used are also stock items (note: the WalleyeIIIER -may- be an SF2NA only weapon; this has not been confirmed)
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Indeed, one would be well served by reading all the Notes section as well.
       
      Happy Landings!

    10. MARTINSYDE G102 (D)

      MARTINSYDE G102 (D)
       
      History
       
      Whilst the Great War was raging in Europe, the Balkans, and Mesopotamia, Countries not involved in the conflict, started breaking away from the powers that had previously held dominion over their countries, One of these countries was part of the joint occupation by Britain and France since the days of Napoleon, the area of Sharnak in the Middle East. in 1917 , whilst the French and British were other wise occupied, the populace rose up, and wrested power from the foreign administration, in a bloodless coup, as the French and British were heavily occupied with more pressing concerns, this was mostly ignored.
      A government was duly and hastily formed, drawing members from the 2 main tribes of Sharnak. unfortunately, these 2 tribes of mainly nomadic people, were usually more interested in murdering each other, than actually getting along and running the new Nation state, in late 1918, a skirmish brewed up, over the rights to a sand dune mine in central Sharnak ( Sand being the main industry of the country, and as the war was going on sand for sandbags was in great demand, and Sharnak sand was the best sand bag sand in the world) The unrest turned into full scale and very bloody civil war, with the East of the country seceding and claiming sovereignty for the Eastern half of the country. The new country, named themselves Paran, and was ruled by a single and powerful clan of fierce Bedouin. the west of the country then named themselves Dhimar, and was a kingdom as the Shah was in that side and was loved by his people. and a kingdom was kept as the political rulers of the country.
       
      The civil war continued sparodically for 18 months, during which time, both sides had managed to procure aircraft form various sources, There was a core of seasoned pilots, who had learned to fly whilst flying for the British, French, Russians and the Turks..
       
      The Dhimari Army was in dire need of a ground attack and reconnaissance aircraft, much mooting, pondering, and attempts to buy either DH9's or Bristol Fighters from the British, were met with derision, from the British Air Ministry ( also probable annoyance over the coup ! ) So as these excellent aircraft were not available for purchase, they acquired the next best thing........or not, they managed to procure some clapped out Martinsydes which were war weary and rather tatty ( to say the very least ) however, with much time and sterling effort, they restored and refurbished the aircraft to a flying, and operational standard. the Aircraft though outdated, and very slow, dis have some very big teeth, it could carry a very healthy bomb load, was fitted with cameras, and was well armed (One fixed Lewis, and one on a mount behind the cockpit ) although the pilots found the workload to be rather high, as the aircraft was so slow and ponderous, operating 2 different gun groups, the bombs and the cameras all together required the dexterity of a 4 armed sword juggler. However, the aeroplane performed its duties with great fortitude, was reliable, and tough. one of the first true multi role aircraft on the battlefield !
       
      INSTALLATION
       
      all files are included in the download, decals, guns weapons are all there, also the updated Nations.ini, and SquadronList.ini to allow the aircraft to show up, this aircraft has been converted from First Eagles , so the guns are new, and will not be in any SF2 weapons packs , so make sure you do install these guns, or else you wont be able to shoot anything !! I have also included a sound file for the Lewis gun as that needs to be installed to give the guns the correct sounds, all other sounds are also included for engines etc. I strongly advise you update your soundlist.ini with new entries ( if you are unsure how to do this, take a quick look at the forums, and there are detailed instructions for this there ) Other than that, just treat this aircraft as you would any other upload to SF2 .
      The aircraft has a very nice bomb load ,but be aware, your wingman and or flight mates may use these at very random intervals, if they use them at all !! BE WARNED !! . The AI does seem to sometimes have a wobbler, and do its own thing, just ignore it, and get on with flying, and rack up some kills. I recommend letting the AI fly this aircraft as you will find your wingman bobbing about all over the sky quite annoying, also the thing is no fighter !! so prepare to be killed....lots.....and repeatedly.....over and over.......many many times.......no, really, trust me !! hahahaha

      Whilst the Great War was raging in Europe, the Balkans, and Mesopotamia, Countries not involved in the conflict, started breaking away from the powers that had previously held dominion over their countries, One of these countries was part of the joint occupation by Britain and France since the days of Napoleon, the area of Sharnak in the Middle East. in 1917 , whilst the French and British were other wise occupied, the populace rose up, and wrested power from the foreign administration, in a bloodless coup, as the French and British were heavily occupied with more pressing concerns, this was mostly ignored.
      A government was duly and hastily formed, drawing members from the 2 main tribes of Sharnak. unfortunately, these 2 tribes of mainly nomadic people, were usually more interested in murdering each other, than actually getting along and running the new Nation state, in late 1918, a skirmish brewed up, over the rights to a sand dune mine in central Sharnak ( Sand being the main industry of the country, and as the war was going on sand for sandbags was in great demand, and Sharnak sand was the best sand bag sand in the world) The unrest turned into full scale and very bloody civil war, with the East of the country seceding and claiming sovereignty for the Eastern half of the country. The new country, named themselves Paran, and was ruled by a single and powerful clan of fierce Bedouin. the west of the country then named themselves Dhimar, and was a kingdom as the Shah was in that side and was loved by his people. and a kingdom was kept as the political rulers of the country.
       
      The civil war continued sparodically for 18 months, during which time, both sides had managed to procure aircraft form various sources, There was a core of seasoned pilots, who had learned to fly whilst flying for the British, French, Russians and the Turks..
       
      Originally the R.D.N.A.S. was looking into the purchase of the Hanriot HD2 as a naval fighter, but the Head of the Marine Aviation division was a firm Francophile, and vetoed the purchase of Hanriots, instead, purchasing a number of N27's from the French , Why this was allowed is not clear, as the N27 wasn't by any means an outstanding aircraft, however it was light and nimble, and with the Vickers/Lewis gun armament, quite effective as an interceptor, however in combad against the Parani DVII's it fared rather badly, but it also gave out punishment , particularly against the AEG's of Parani Forward Aviation.

      The aircraft has a small ( if not historically correct ) bomb load ,but be aware, your wingman and or flight mates may use these at very random intervals, if they use them at all !! So maybe best only to issue them to your self. The AI does seem to sometimes have a wobbler, and do its own thing, just ignore it, and get on with flying, and rack up some kills.

      Initially the R.D.A.F. purchased this aircraft as an advanced trainer, but due to operational needs it was pressed into front line service in no 2 Squadron R.D.A.F. ( RAVENS ) and although not a very fast aeroplane, it was a joy to fly, and soon became a firm favourite of Dhimari pilots. very nimble, and manouverable, with a good punch from the twin Vickers, many a Dhimari ace was born , flying this delightful little aircraft. powered by the uprated Clerget 9bf rotary it gave many years of sterling and trouble free service. when the venerable aircraft was retired from service in 1930, one was even retained by the Shah of Dihmar for his own personal aircraft.

      As previously mentioned, the head of the Parani Navy, was an accomplished flyer, who had flown for Austro Hungary during the Great War, his last operational type had been the Aviatik Berg DI , so not unsurprisingly he felt that the I.P.N.M.A. would be well suited by this aircraft type. fast, well armed and reliable, a squadron was soon formed, and commenced operations against Dhimar in mid 1919. it continued in service up until 1925 when it was withdrawn to training units as an air to air gunnery training aircraft, and was used into the 30's a such.

      The I.P.A.F.A. had recently purchased Phonix DIIa's for the forward aviation units, but it was felt that a dedicated ground attack medium attack aircraft was also desirable, after casting around, a batch of unassembled AEG CIV aircraft was discovered, and duly acquired ( by foul means !! ) assembled, and pressed into sevice. the Aircraft had a reasonable bomb load, and with adequate air cover from the Forward Aviation Phonix's was most suitable for the task at hand, though not an outstanding aircraft by any stretch of the imagination, it was serviceable ( and very cheap as they had been nicked ) and soldiered on until the late 20's when it was withdrawn from front line service, and was used as a bomber and gunner training aircraft, it could be found as a squadron hack well into the 1930's.....not bad for an aircraft gained by dubious means !!

      When the Parani Air services were formed, there was a lot of infighting between different tribes, all wanting their own little air force, this of course was not a practical solution, so 3 air arms were formed, the Airforce ( I.P.A.F.) the Army ( I.P.A.F.A.) and finally the Navy ( I.P.N.M.A. ) each of these 3 services were self governing, ( although ultimately answerable to the Sheikh) and procured their own equipment independently of the Paran Ministry of Defence ( which merely laid out guidelines for procurement ) the head of the Parani Navy had flown as a mercenary in the Austro Hungarian theatre, and had recently been trained on Avaitik Berg and Phonix aircraft, and he recommended the latter to his Cousin who just happened to be the head of the Army, so representations were made through the Polish and Czech military advisors, and a number of Phonix aircraft were acquired.as the aircraft was of sturdy and robust design, it was ideally suited for the Army and their need for ground support aircraft. Not the easiest aircraft to fly and maintain, but they remained in service until 1930, when newer and more efficient aircraft were needed.

      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Piranha folder into your Aircraft folder.
       
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Piranha folder into your Decals folder.
       

      CREDITS
       
      First and foremost, big thanks to Foxmonter for bringing this delightful machine to life.

      SF2 Dassault Epervier Upgrade Pack 4/5/2016
       
      = For SF2 (Full-4/5 Merged Reccomended) =
       
      *You =MUST= have the Mystere IVA avaiable in your merged installs, as the aircraft now references THIS cockpit. SF2:E is also required, at minimum, as the BLW aircraft now reference the stock 3W decals (F-104G), as does the French AdA skins.*
       
      Some modifications and capability upgrades for Cocas's fun little "What If.." Dassault Epervier (Sparrowhawk). If you do not have the aircraft, it's available at the following URL:
       
      http://combatace.com/files/file/15963-sf2-%C3%A9pevier/
       
      Obviously, you'll the need the aircraft to add the mod pack too!
       
      2 new skins have been added:
       
      Natural Metal
      2-tone Brown Desert
       
      Both the new skins carry French Air Force makings, and ALL skins make use of stock 3W decals.
      All markings are decals, making it easy for other nations/users to be created. It should be noted, the userlist ini included ONLY has France and WGermany. Others will have to be added by the End Users ™.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. The "Notes" section contains the full change log.
       
      Happy Landings!

    18. Supermarine Rapier F.1

      SF2 "What If" Supermarine Rapier F.1 3/10/2016
       
      *= For SF2 -ONLY-!! Full-4/5 Merged Reccomended =*
       
      *** NOTE! you MUST have the stock 3rdWire Hunter F.6 as part of your merged installs; this aircraft mod references this stock cockpit. ***
       
      This package contains a NEW "What If..." aircraft for Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, and several Commonwealth & export customers, as used in the mid-1950s through the late 1960s. Everything is included, excpeting the cockpit, as noted above
       
      Skins included are for the following countries/units:
       
      No. 830 NAS RN FAA (HMS Eagle)
      No. 882 NAS RN FAA (HMS Ark Royal, circa 1962)
      No. 860 MLD (HNLMS Karel Doorman, circa 1956)
      No. 805 Sqdn RAN (HMAS Melbourne)
      VF-870 RCN (for either of the 2 CVs circa 1957)
       
      The SF2 "date switch" is use for the Royal Navy skins. Other are selectable via their countries from the Select Service drop down, and will start on the dates stated in the userlist ini.
       
      All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The only excpetion is for VF-870, as it's rudder markings are painted on.
      The aircraft is fully carrier certified. All weapons used are stock 3W items - hence the need for Full-4/5 merged. A pilot figure, and the drop tanks are included.
      Wingfold and canopy operate via the Standard Animation Keystrokes ; Shift/9 for the wings, Shift/0 (zero) for the window.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, as usual, give the "Notes and Comments" section a read, too.

    19. AN-2 "HEMAAR" V 2.0

      AN-2 "HEMAAR"
       
       
       
      HISTORY
       
      The I.P.A.F.A units needed a STOL capable aircraft, to enable resupply to forward units, and also a limited parachute drop capability. the perfect aircraft for this was deemed to be the AN-2 "Colt" The Parani Ministry of Defence, purchased a large quantity of these aircraft, to equip the army units. A small number of these aircraft were blacked out for use by the Parani Special operations Group. This aircraft has been in service with the I.P.A.F.A. since 1947, and is deemed still capable for use into the near future. As an additional role, the AN-2 has been fitted with bomb/rocket racks, and is capable of executing limited nuisance attacks.
      The Aircraft is much loved by its crews, and carries the name HEMAAR which means Donkey , its ease of maintenance and reliability, mean it is a very useful and flexible aircraft.
       
       
       
      Installation and blah blah
       
      I have included ( I hope) everything needed in one package, ie. the aircraft decals, weapons, pilots, and sounds. I have also included a SQADRONLIST.INI, and a NATIONS.INI to allow these birds to show up as a nation and with the correct markings. I have dropped all the respective files into their correct folders so, all you will need to do is unRAR/ZIP/7Z to your saved game folder, and allow overwrites ( if any) I have tested this on a full merged all bells and whistles SF2 so I assume it will work on unmerged too.as I said everything is there to get her up and running, just drop it all as is into your saved game folder and off you fly.
       
      I have made 3 different skins for the 2 Army Forward Aviaton Regiments, one of which is a Spec Ops colour scheme, and also one in civilian markings ( Parani Air America clone ? ) the cargo bay door operates by pressing whichever key you are using for the bombbay doors. the aircraft is able to carry light bombloads under the wings, however, be aware, she is slow lumbering, and very easy to shoot down !!
       
      This is the final update of this aircraft, I would advise removing any previous versions of the HEMAAR before installing this one, as there may be issues as the resolution has been raised slightly, I have also included lo res ( non wide screen ) screens for the hangar and the loading screen
       
      CREDITS !!!
      Credit for the original model and workings to whomsoever was involved in the original aircraft. I have just played around and tweaked a few things. I could not have done this for you to enjoy without the initial hard work by the likes of Mr Wrench, Mr Paulopanz and all the other fantastic modders on here to numerous to mention, I am an amateur just dipping my toe in a very deep pond !!!
       
      This is the 4th Aircraft from the Parani Army and the final one for this set, I shall be doing Navy and Airforce aircraft next, so keep your mk 1's peeled, for more Parani lovliness................ENJOY !!

    20. DHIMAR SABRE PACK

      After seeing the effectiveness of the F-86F Sabres in the hands of the USAF over Korea, the Dhimaris made overtures to the Americans to buy F-86's, however as the Dhimaris had close ties with the UK, they eventually settled on buying the licence built Mk-4 which was in use at the time by the Canadian and British Air forces, they eventually purchased MK-4 airframes for the Ground attack/interdiction role, and later on the MK-6 for a pure fighter /interceptor . They foung the engine and avionics fits , were more suitable for Dhimari needs, and used these aircraft until the early 60's with great success.

    21. Blackburn Shark F.1

      SF2 "What If" Blackburn Shark F.1 3/9/2016
       
      *= For SF2 -ONLY-!! Full-5 Merged Reccomended =*
       
      **NOTE! you MUST have the stock 3rdWire Meteor F8 as part of your merged install; this aircraft references this stock cockpit***
       
      This package contains a NEW "What If..." aircraft for Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm usage in the post-war (1948-1955) time frame. Everything is included, excpeting the cockpit, as noted above
       
      Skins included are for the following FAA units:
       
      No.763 NAS (HMS Victorious)
      No.803 NAS (HMS Ark Royal)
      No.893 NAS (HMS Centaur)
       
      Markings are (pretty much) correct for the late-post WW2 time frame.
      All 3 skins use a 'pool' of plane-in-squadron and serial numbers. There are 24 of each. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. In the decals folder are several other "CV tail codes", and a blank create more, if one wished to do so.
      The aircraft is fully carrier certified. All weapons used are stock 3W items - hence the need for Full-5 merged.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, as usual, give the "Notes and Comments" section a read, too.

    22. AH-1E /S(ECAS) Cobra TOW ver.2016

      BELL AH-1S(ECAS) COBRA Ver 1.9 for SF2
       
      March 2016.
       
      This is a third party add on of the AH-1S(ECAS) / E Cobra using models and cockpits created by me.
      The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
      I have just modified it a bit.
       
      It is designed for and works only in the SF2 series.
       
      WeaponPACK for this model is also included.

      This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.
       
      A2A mode - gunner station TSU guncross for turret.
       
      A2Ground mode - pilot M73 cross.
       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
       
      AH-1E was Step 2 upgrade program of Army Cobra. This variant was originally known as the „Up-Gun AH-1S or AH-1S(ECAS) – Enhanced Cobra Armament System. In this model Army Cobra featured the three -barell 20mm M197 automatic cannon mounted in XM97 universal turret. The AH-1E also featured an improved rocekt management system for 2.75 inch rockets, an improved sighting system, and a more powerful electrical generator to support all new systems. It has new 2nd version of flat plate canopy with bulged side glass panels. 98 new-built AH-1Es were delivered in 1978 and 1979. This was used only by US Army and NG. Plus six in basic configuration was ordered by Israel. Israel upgraded E to its own version of F model it will be part of different pack.
      Small changes in pit insturments compared to S(Prod)
      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector - and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       
      NVG.
      Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
      I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
      In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
      In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
       
      Skins:
      One generic carc green skin for three units. Not much individual paintings here.
      1st Sq(Air),17th Cav. 82nd CAB. 1978
      B/1-123rd Avn Brig,7th Inf.Div 1989.'Just Cause'
      4th Squadron "Longknife Squadron" 3rd ACR.
       
      All serial numbers are proper for S(ECAS) / E model but am not sure if these numbers appeared in specific units.
      some seiral are taken from available photos and are matched to units. Some are just placeholders but are correct for model block buid.
       
      Weapons.
      Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P model.
      Including XM158 and M200 launchers.
      TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D.
      There is additional optional Suppressed Exhaust loaded via weaponstation.
      Also here there is new M197 automatic cannon loaded via weaponstation.
       
      One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
      Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
      Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
       
       
       
      Enjoy.
      Report Bugs.
      Edit your way.

    23. F-16E/F Block 60 REDUX

      F-16E and E Block 60 Desert Falcon's redone!
      I uploaded a older E/F pack that was pretty awful to be honest here is a much better redo!
      Made using the Block 50/52 models now to make it look better in general as well as some updates to the skin!
       
      Built using the Greek and Turkish F-16's as a base so if you have those the E/F should work just fine! You should already have all the weapons and sounds from earlier F-16 packs! Happy Hunting in the Gulf!
       
      Thank you to the Viper Team and everyone else who has worked on the SF2 vipers or this would never have been possible!

    25. Kfir C.7 & Kfir C.7 (89)

      This is my version of Kfir C.7 that was left in my folder untouched since 10/2015, believing it would have been included -at least part of it - in Denis Oliveira next release.
       
      I did a similar treatment to Kfir as I did with other releases (e.g. F-8 & F-16), in Data and loadout.inis, as well as created a '89 version. It has a small problem that will be fixed in a later date,
       
      so for now is v0.9
