SF2 Tu-114 Cleat (Airliner) Remod Pak 10/4/2015
 
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
 
*Note: this aircraft replaces, in total, the one included in the SF2 Soviet Transport and AWAC Aircraft uploaded in 2013. If you have the Tu-114 from that pack, you are advised to DELETE that aircraft completely, otherwise there will be conflicts and complications. If you don't have it, don't worry! Also, this mod will most likely =NOT= work in 1stGen games at any patch level.*
 
This is a (nearly) complete rebuild of the Tu-114 airliner (NATO codename "Cleat") as seen in the above mentioned mod pack. It has been (nearly) completely overhauled, and is designed mainly to have something other that the usual An-12s and Li-2s (C-47) seen parked around your Red Airfields ™.
See "Change List" in the Notes section for all the changes and fixes.
 
All new decals, with 12 historical Aeroflot/Soviet registration numbers were created. All markings are decals and decal randomization is TRUE. The skin is now in jpg format.
 
On the Aircraft Selection drop-down, you'll see
 
Tu-114 Cleat
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Notes" section a read, in particular on Operational Usage.
 
Happy Landings!

SF2 Tu-95 Bear-A Remod Pak 10/4/2015
 
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
 
*NOTE: due to excessive changes and additions, this mod will =NOT= work in 1stGen games at any patch level*
This is a Re-release/Re-mod of Veltro2k's Soviet Cold War Heavy Bomber aircraft, originally released in 2008.
 
This pack represents the 'standard' Tu-95 Bear-A "conventional" level bomber (yes, it can carry one nuke -not supplied).
 
The skin remains in its original bmp format and all markings are decals. All decals used reference stock 3W Soviet markings (thus, the NON inclusion of any decals). Decal randomization is TRUE.
The inis has been completely revamped, with a "new" FM, avionics, loadouts, sounds, new pilot figures, and an "new" cockpit. The cockpit, while not a perfect match, is much closer to the "steam gauge" Bear pit of the era. See "Notes" section for full change list.
 
On the Aircraft Selection drop-down, you'll see
 
Tu-95M Bear-A (v2k)
 
This will make it easier to select, and diferentiate it from any other Bear-As that might be wandering around in your backyard.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Notes" section a read, in particular on Operational Usage.
For those that may still have the original release (from 2008), as there HAVE been major changes and additions you may want to delete said original in it's entirety.
 
**This aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, unless a newer model (LOD) become available**.
 
Happy Landings!

SF2 USAF F-15C "Aggressors" from the 65th AGRS based out of Nellis AFB.
by Viper63a

This mod contains "fly-able" F-15C "Aggressors" from the "Red Flag Nellis AFB Pack". I intended this pack to be an expansion to FastCargo's (Excellent) F-15 Super Pack, but while I was testing the pack, it evolved into a fully contained stand-alone pack. However, let there be no doubt that this pack could not have been possible without foundation laid out by FastCargo and the people in his "Credits" list.

If you're interested in Fastcargo's F-15 Super Pack, you can down load it here.

http://combatace.com/files/file/10443-f-15-super-pack-version-24/

This mod is NOT compatible with the "Red Flag Nellis AFB Pack". These planes are already installed in that pack as AI Enemies. If you install these F-15s into the "Red Flag" pack, the F-15C Aggressors will switch sides to become "friendlies" as the Nation will switch back to "USAF" from "AGRS". Unless that is what you want to do, I don't recommend installing these F-15s into that pack. Unless you want to fly these Aggressors against the other Aggressors in that pack.

If you're interested in the "Red Flag Nellis AFB Pack", you can down load it here.

http://combatace.com/files/file/15827-sf2-usaf-red-flag-nellis-afb-proving-grounds/

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This pack includes F-15c with 10 different paint schemes. These are NOT accurate (for the purists out there), but close enough. See pix on the download page. This is full (self contained) pack with Hangars, loading and other screens. It should work in any SF2 installs that support the F-15s.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The default sizes of the skins are in 4096 resolution. It may strain some slower systems, If you experience performance issues, I included some 2048 resolution skins in the "Extra" folder. See the installation section for more info.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To Install,

1) Back up your current mod folder, incase you want to go back to your original configuration.

2) Copy the un-compressed contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" into your SF2 Mod folder. Over-write any conflicts.

3) Go fly...

NOTE: If the default 4096 skin resolution is too much for your computer, copy the contents of the "\Extras\2048_Skins\To_Mod_Folder" to your SF2 mod folder and Over-write.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SF2 F-8H Crusader, Philippines Air Force Pak 10/2/2015
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-4/5 Merged (Full 5 Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
**Note: This mod references all stock items, from the aircraft & cockpit lods themselves, to sounds, pilots and weapons. You =MUST= have the stock 3rd Wire F-8H Crusader as part of your merged install, from whichever game it originates from, to make full use of this mod**
 
Some mods of the stock 3W F-8H Crusader recreates the 25 used by the Philippines Air Force from 1978 thru 1988. This is a stand alone, fully "nationalized" version for PAF usage only.
Serial numbers are 100% historicaly accurate. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Markings represent the 7th TFS of the 5th TFW, PAF.
The Standard Animation Keystrokes ™ work the canopy (Shift/0) and Wingfold (Shift/9). The aircraft is no longer carrier certified, but the hook remains.
 
When in game, you'll see
 
F-8H Crusader (PhAF)
 
on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! The "Notes" section may also make for interestering reading, and such.
 
Happy Landings!!

KC-97G Stratofreighter
 
The KC-97 Stratofreighter was an aerial refueling tanker variant of the C-97 Stratofreighter (which was itself based on the Boeing B-29 Superfortress), greatly modified with all the necessary tanks, plumbing, and "flying boom." The cavernous upper deck was capable of accommodating oversize cargo accessed through a very large right-side door. In addition, transferrable jet fuel was contained in tanks on the lower deck (G-L models). Both decks were heated and pressurized for high altitude operations.
 
 
 

Notes:
serial numbers, while generic in nature, ARE for the model depicted (KC-97G). Decal randomization is true. All markings are decals.
Damage texture is in DDS.
End Service Year is 'best guess' (and longer than historical), but will cover until/if KC-97L is built and released.
Crew entry door is operated by the Standard Animation Keystroke , Shift/0 (zero). The standard bomb bay keystorke, Cntl/0 (oh) operates the refueling boom.

Also included is my HomeGrown ™ template, for those that might want to create other uses skins. The included Userlist ini has the major military users, but might need further expansion.

Boeing B-47B
 
The Boeing B-47 Stratojet was a long range, six-engine, turbojet-powered strategic bomber designed to fly at high subsonic speed and at high altitude to avoid enemy interceptor aircraft.
The B-47's primary mission was to drop nuclear bombs on the Soviet Union. With its engines carried in nacelles under the swept wing, the B-47 was a major innovation in post-World War II
combat jet design, and contributed to the development of modern jet airliners.
The B-47 entered service with the United States Air Force's Strategic Air Command (SAC) in 1951.
It never saw combat as a bomber, but was a mainstay of SAC's bomber strength during the late 1950s and early 1960s,
and remained in use as a bomber until 1965. It was also adapted to a number of other missions, including photographic reconnaissance,
electronic intelligence and weather reconnaissance, remaining in service as a reconnaissance aircraft until 1969 and as a testbed until 1977.

9/23/2015 -- V.2 uploaded. some small changes

The Sukhoi Su-30MKI[3] (NATO reporting name: Flanker-H) is a twinjet Multirole Air superiority fighter developed by Russia's Sukhoi and built under licence by India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the Indian Air Force (IAF). A variant of the Sukhoi Su-30, it is a heavy, all-weather, long-range fighter.
Development of the variant started after India signed a deal with Russia in 2000 to manufacture 140 Su-30 fighter jets.[4] The first Russian-made Su-30MKI variant was accepted into the Indian Air Force in 2002,[5] while the first indigenously assembled Su-30MKI entered service with the IAF in 2004.[6] Additional MKIs have been ordered to increase the total to 272. The IAF had 200 Su-30MKIs in service as of August 2014.[1] The Su-30MKI is expected to form the backbone of the Indian Air Force's fighter fleet to 2020 and beyond
 
This is a simple mod of my Earlier Su-30MKM, these are not perfect by any means I just wanted to have an MKI in my SF2 jet library. Please feel free to modify as you wish I know other modders can make this jet even better!, please credit me, Spudknocker, for anything uploaded for download. Please adhere to the Combat ace fair use agreement and no payware please! Have Fun!

Republic Aviation P-47N 'VPAF' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
 
This is a very simple mod of Russouk2004's P-47N Thunderbolt to give a fictional P-47N in service with an embryonic North Vietnamese Air Force.
 

BACKSTORY
 
The Viet Minh artillery attacks against the French airbase at Dien Bien Phu on March 16th, 1954 resulted in the destruction of six French F8F Bearcats , five MS.500's and two helicopters. In addition, several French P-47N Thunderbolts, F6F Hellcats, SB2C Helldivers and PB4Y Privateers were damaged and could not be flown out. This setback was immediately compound by a failed air-drop to help sustain the besieged French garrison and before long the Viet Minh insurgents had overrun the garrison despite a very brave defence by the French forces.
 
Immediately following the Geneva Conference of July 1954, which recognised the 17th parallel as being a provisional military demarcation line dividing the country into two zones, North Vietnam soon started the development of military aviation in the new Communist state by sending a number of trainees to the USSR and China for pilot training and aircraft maintenance training. In September 1954, Vice-Premier Pham Van Ðong ordered the immediate formation of the North Vietnam Air Force mainly using aircraft left behind by the retreating French forces but soon bolstered by equipment from the Soviet Union. Sufficient P-47N's were scraped together to form the 921st Fighter Regiment based at Thanh Hoá Air Base who were declared operational in February 1955.
 

INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the P-47N_VPAF folder into your main Aircraft folder.
 
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the P-47N_VPAF folder into your main Decals folder.
 
3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop both folders into your main Weapons folder. The SHAVR is simply a fictional Soviet version of the HVAR created as the stock S-24 is too big and heavy.
 

CREDITS
 
As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
 
Thanks to Russouk2004 for creating the superb P-47N and for making the equally good template available.

F-4 Phantom II in Royal New Zealand Air Force service ('What If')
 
 
 
Background (factual):
 
In mid 1964 Operational Requirement No. 5/Air called for a tactical combat aircraft to replace the Canberra. Specifically a long range aircraft with the primary role of counter-air/interdiction and secondary roles of close air support and air defense.
 
In June 1965 The Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice-Marshal (AVM) Morrison was quoted as wanting 18 F-111 aircraft for the RNZAF at a cost of £1.5 million per aircraft. The public and media supported the idea but the Chief of Defense Staff (who was a Naval Officer) and the acting Prime Minister publicly opposed the purchase.
 
In August 1965 the Chiefs of Staff Committee rejected the idea of acquiring long-range interdiction aircraft and in September agreed that close air support should be the primary role of the new combat aircraft.
 
In December came Air Staff Requirement No. 12 with the following requirements of the new combat aircraft:
 
- Ability to provide effective air support to ground forces.
- Highly reliable and robust
- Self defense capability to evade or counter supersonic interceptors and surface-to-air missiles.
- Long range.
- Ability to operate closely with American and Australian forces.
 
By May 1966 the RNZAF had finished evaluating six candidate aircraft:
 
- F-4C Phantom II
- A-7A Corsair II
- Mirage IIIO
- F-5A Freedom Fighter
- F-104G Starfighter
- A-4E Skyhawk
 
In August 1966 the RNZAF officially asked the government to purchase 16 F-4 Phantoms at a total cost of £19 million.
 
Now remember AVM Morrison making it known he wanted the F-111? He would later go on to admit he never wanted the F-111 he had wanted the F-4 all along but given the cost of the F-4 he wanted to make it look more attractive (cost wise) by putting it next to the F-111.
 
The minister of Defense then announced the final stage of the evaluation had been reached and a decision was a few weeks away. The purchase of the F-4 seemed to be all but done...
 
BUT the Treasury department now intervened and recommended purchasing the F-5! The RNZAF High Command was furious! But ultimately powerless to halt the path to purchasing the A-4 Skyhwak that had just begun.
 
Over the next year the RNZAF, Cabinet Defense Committee, Treasury, the Finance Minister and the Chief of Defense wrangled over purchasing the F-4 or an alternative (F-5 or A-4). Then at the end of 1967 the New Zealand Currency was devalued and a squadron of F-4 Phantoms was now instantly out of New Zealand’s price range. It was either 11 Phantoms or 16 Skyhawks. So the Skyhawk it was.
 
So if the Treasury Department hadn't intervened in the procurement process towards the end of 1966 it seems entirely likely that New Zealand would have placed and order for the F-4 Phantom II at the end of that year!
 
 
 
And so I give you the F-4D Phantom II in RNZAF Service 1969 to 2002.
 
I chose the F-4D as when the order would have likely been placed in late 1966/ early 1967 the F-4D was the current USAF production model as the first of the F-4E models were only just being built as part of the USAF F-4D contract.
 
The RNZAF F-4D models are built to the same standard as the last USAF F-4D coming off the production line in the late 60's. However like the A-4K in real life they are 'fitted for but not with' ECM/ RHAW equipment. This means the wiring, sensors and cockpit RHAW display are installed but the actual 'black box' control units are not.
 
The reason for this (as in real life with the A-4K) was not an economy measure as most references state (including the Third Wire manual) but because the equipment was in such demand by US forces for use in Vietnam. So the aircraft were delivered without them but with the intention of fitting them at a latter date. However that day simply never came and this is possibly where the additional cost of purchasing/ installing them played a part in it not happening.
 
The Kiwi F-4D Phantoms are capable of caring the full range of the USAF Phantom arsenal including first generation smart weapons. However only the Mk 82/83/84 series bombs and unguided rockets are used by the RNZAF. For the air-to-air role the SUU-23/A gunpod, AIM-7E and AIM-9E are chosen with the AIM-4 Falcons performance in Vietnam causing the RNZAF to steer well clear of it.
 
 
 
Four separate Aircraft:
 
F-4D Phantom II RNZAF - Initial aircraft delivered in 1969 fitted for but not with ECM/ RHAW equipment.
 
F-4D Phantom II (72) RNZAF - By 1973 the redundant RHAW display has been removed from the cockpit as well as the empty IRST pod under the nose that was to house the RHAW gear.
 
F-4D Phantom II (78) RNZAF - Second hand attrition aircraft from USAF stocks delivered in 1985 in preparation for the project Kahu upgrade of the fleet.
 
F-4D Phantom II (88) Kahu RNZAF - In 1986 a comprehensive $140 million upgrade program is undertaken. Known as project 'Kahu' the heart of the upgrade is replacing the old AN/APG-109 radar with the modern AN/APG-66(NZ) multi-mode radar. The cockpit is modernized with glass displays, HOTAS and a Ferranti wide-angle HUD. Survivability in increased with the ALR-66 RWR and ALE-40 countermeasure dispensers. The MIL-STD 1553B databus and Litton Industries LN-93 inertial navigation system are also installed. The airframes and engines are completely stripped down and given a life extension with almost all of the aircraft wiring replaced. A smoke abatement system is added along with low voltage formation lights.
 
The aircraft also receive armament upgrades including the capability to fire AIM-9L, AIM-7M, AGM-65B/G and GBU-10 Paveway II laser-guided bombs. The old F-4 Phantom external center drop tanks are also replaced by the F-15 600 gallon HPC tanks as on USAF Phantoms. By the end of 1991 all New Zealand and ex USAF Phantoms have been upgraded to the 'Kahu' standard.

C-17 Globemaster III Upgrade
by daddyairplanes
 

This mod upgrades Veltro2k's C-17 Globemaster III to incorporate all tactical USAF and all foreign users. It has skins for all 9 C-17 operators as well as time specific in the USAF and a couple of fictional skins (15 in all). The base skin has been updated by Flogger23 and myself, and ini updated by yours truly.
 
***************************** Installation: ********************************
unzip, copy to mods folder, allow overwrite if needed.
 
*****************************Known Issues********************************
-The cockpit is nonexistant. These are mainly as AI and the mission set for transports is limited so this will probably not be fixed soon
-while cargo statements are included in the data.ini, there is a wall at the back of the cargo bay that prevents the interior from being seen. If this is remodeled, i will include cargo "weapons" and tweek the positions.
-the Qatar VIP skin does not have "Qatar" decal on the bottom. It left a mark on the right side as a tga and was too screwy looking being on the seam of the skin so i left it off.
 
*********************Contibutors and Thanks to: ********************
Veltro2K- created the original model
Flogger23- reworked the skin for better looking panel lines and other features
Lazarus1177- pointing out to use jpeg rather than bmp. Learn something new everyday
daddyairplanes- tga work, ini editting, stubborn determination to see more than just one unit on a skin
airliners.net- loading and hangar screens
Dave, Muesli, Flogger23, Viggen, Lazarus1177, allenjb42- other sets of eyes to catch what i screwed up on
 
I hope you enjoy this mod and airlift the troops right to the enemies doorstep.

Presenting ... The DC-10-30 Airliner! This bird is created from Marcfighters KC-10 model and some ini editing by yours truly to remove the AAR equipment. in this version the aircraft is shown as many airlines flew her in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. This supersedes the previous version.
INCLUDED
DC-10-30 aircraft (template included) with 70s,80s and 90s skins
decals for same
flight folder to modify nations and formation inis
terrain folders to modify limited nations list for all stock terrains
folders to adjust ODS, NF5 and SF2NA Exp Pack
 
CREDITS
Marcfighters............. KC-10 physical model
daddyairplanes........ conversion, new skin and template, decal work and ini edits
Kesselbrut................. for his C-130J-30_cockpit
 
THANKS TO
TK ... for the base game
Marcfighters ... for allowing me to run amok with his old baby
Wrench, eburger68, Gepard, and the overall community ... for much advise and technical
support on this project
slartibarfast, viggen, macelena and others who crash tested this thing for me
 
******************************WARNING*******************************************************************************
this bird is rather old, and has its limitations. it is not meant for flying on recon missions,
but rather mainly for eye candy and somethin to possibly intercept or escort. while you CAN
fly it, that does NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD. that said buyer beware all quirks of this bird like the pitch
down on gear and flap retractions and the non moving control surfaces.
 
****************************USE OF THIS MOD*************************************************************************
I will allow fairly free use of this mod in any other mod. What i (at this time) request is that you do not
create a new skin based airline for it. the airlines are on as tga so that many airlines show up at one time.
A seperate say "Pan Am" skin will ruin the effect and there will be 8-9 Pan Am birds on the tarmac. Any airline
you would like to see, pm me and i will either tell you how to make it or time allowing make it and add in. Thank
you.
 
again, thank you for downloading this and i hope you enjoy it

CFM E-3 Sentrys
by daddyairplanes
 
This mod adjusts Veltro2k's E-3D release to add all 3 E-3 versions that used CFM-56 engines. Included are the RAF's D model, French AF's F model and Royal Saudi AF's A model.
 
Installation
Unzip. Install into desired mod molder. Allow merging and overwrites
 
Known Issues
No there is not an ESM kit for the E-3F at this time. If a 3d modeller is able to assist in the future one may be added via fakepilot. However the French birds are the only ones to use that bit of equipment, so it is somewhat low priority.
 
Aircraft Included
Sentry AEW.1 (E-3D), E-3F Sentry and E-3A Sentry RSAF
 
Credits
Veltro2k: original model and original hangar screen for the E-3D
daddyairplanes: ini edit to create E-3A_RSAF and E-3F, new hangars for mentioned aircraft based on original in E-3D, tga and ini edit work. improved D model skin and tga
TK: the original moddable game
Dave, eburger68: technical consultations on in game behavior
 
I hope you enjoy this humble little mod.
