    1. SF2 AVG Flying Tigers Tomahawk Pak - for WW2 CBI

      SF2 AVG "Flying Tigers" Tomahawk Pak by Baltika
       
      -- Something for the CBI players --
      = For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      *There is a 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.*
       
      **Notex2: These aircraft should ONLY be used in a seperate CBI-centric mods folder to prevent them from showing up where, historically, they shouldn't. The Aircraft/GroundObject sets for CBI are substantially different from Central or SouthWest Pacific areas. You'll need the Burma and China WW2 terrains from the 1stGen Terrains Downloads. Be advised, that even though I reworked both terrains some years ago, they need yet another going over to correct many faults; but they ARE perfecly playable as is, with the needed SF2 terrain conversion tweeks that is :)**
       
      This is a re-compilation of Baltika's beautiful P-40B/C Tomahawk "Flying Tigers" Pak for use in CBI-base WW2 installs. This uses Wolf257's Tomahawk as the base aircraft
      It contains 99.9% Historically Accurate ™ serial numbers, Individual aircraft numbers and squadron markings.
      This pak contains:
       
      1st Pursuit "Adam & Eves"
      2nd Pursuit "Panda Bears"
      3rd Pursuit "Hell's Angles"
       
      Like the recently rereleased Tomahawks, it has a new (semi)compliant SF2 FM, and in this case, a new cockpit (albeit NOT correct for P-40s* see Notes below for more explinations). It uses one of Stary's 'Generic Pits', that you can see things in. So, accept this 'poetic licsence'. The original Wolf pit is, however, still included.
       
      It is also HIGHLY advised to add this generic cockpit to the other 2 Tomahawk mods, for SF2 usage.
      Operational service dates for the aircraft have been limited to the actual spread; 12/21/41 - 7/4/42. To that end, Userlist.ini was created to help 'lock them in'. There is no historicl evidence that these Tomahawks, unlike their RAF brethern, ever used any external stores, but research is still ongoing (meaning: I gave them to you anyway, as the D&S book hinted they had them!).
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Baltika's original readme for the Flying Tigers Mod is included for historical purposes
       
      Happy Hunting!

    2. Tu-4 Bull SF-2 pack

      The Tupolev Tu-4 (NATO reporting name: Bull) was a piston-engined Soviet strategic bomber
      that served the Soviet Air Force from the late 1940s to mid 1960s.
      It was a reverse-engineered copy of the U.S.-made Boeing B-29 Superfortress.
       
      What's in:
       
      -Tu-4 main production version, originally designated B-4. PLAAF H-4.
       
      -Tu-4A nuclear capable bomber used to test Soviet RDS-1, RDS-3 and RDS-5 nuclear bombs.
      The standard Tu-4 was not capable of carrying these weapons.
       
      -Tu-4K/KS anti-shipping version, armed with KS-1 Komet missiles carried between the engines under the wings.
       
      -Tu-4R long range reconnaissance.
       
      This work began only as a limited skinwork for bringing to Jon a better bomber to use in Formosa and TSF.
      But after all serials were made, I remade and upgraded all 4 versions.
      Especially the Tu-k now fitted with pylons for KS-1 Kometa and Tu-4A with RDS-3 nuke bomb.
       
      Credits:
       
      - MontyCz for original model
      - Lindr2 for the SF1 version
      - Eburger68 for first SF-2 edits (Nato)
      - new decals, skins and edits are mine.
       
      Install:
       
      As usual all in main mod folder.
       
      I hope this will be usefull in NATO, TSF & Formosa campaigns making ....
       
      Enjoy!

    4. Junkers JU-88 A1

      Junkers JU-88 A1
       
      The Junkers Ju 88 was a German World War II Luftwaffe twin-engined multirole combat aircraft. Designed by Junkers Flugzeug- und Motorenwerke (JFM) in the mid-1930s to be a so-called Schnellbomber ("fast bomber") which would be too fast for any of the fighters of its era to intercept, it suffered from a number of technical problems during the later stages of its development and early operational roles, but became one of the most versatile combat aircraft of the war. Like a number of other Luftwaffe bombers, it was used successfully as a bomber, dive bomber, night fighter, torpedo bomber, reconnaissance aircraft, heavy fighter and even, during the closing stages of the conflict in Europe, as a flying bomb.
      Despite its protracted development, the aircraft became one of the Luftwaffe's most important assets. The assembly line ran constantly from 1936 to 1945, and more than 16,000 Ju 88s were built in dozens of variants, more than any other twin-engine German aircraft of the period. Throughout the production, the basic structure of the aircraft remained unchanged.
       
      aircraft model: Veltro2k

    5. SF2 WW2 PTO B-29 Superfortress Pak (Ver 2)

      SF2 WW2 PTO B-29 Superfortress Pak (Ver.2) 4/27/2015
       
      -- Something for the PTO players --
       
      = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      This is a revamp of the version released in April, 2013. There have been several major and minor changes. See the Change List in the Notes section for what got fiddled with.
       
      This is the complete aircraft, with all the skins, decals, sounds and whathaveyous needed.
      The 2 skins included are:
       
      498th BG 73rd BW (all 60 aircraft)
      509th Composite Group (the Atomic Bombers)
       
      Serials & nose arts for the 509th are 100% historically accurate. The 498th nose arts in some cases are interperative, some are historical. Serials/tail markings =ARE= 100% historical.
      Decal randomization is TRUE for both skins. The skins, due to their small size, remain in bmp format.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please READ them. For those users that have the 2013 version, you will be deleting the /B-29 folder from you PTO mods folder's /Aircraft main folder. Again, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS -- in fact, unzp the package FIRST, read them through, and then follow the instructions. If allowed to overwrite, bad things may happen.
      Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Be advised, the "Leagel Notice" also includes a small change. Which seems to be ignored by some people.
       
      Good Hunting!

    6. IAI Dagger A

      The remaining Israeli Nesher aircrafts were refurbished and exported to the Argentine Air Force in two batches, 26 in 1978 and 13 in 1980, under the name Dagger, comprising 35 Dagger A single-seat fighters and 4 Dagger B two-seat trainers.
       
      They formed a new unit, 6th Air Group, and were immediately enlisted with the help of the 8th Air Group (Mirage IIIEA) and the Peruvian Air Force, already a user of the Mirage 5, due to the escalating crisis with Chile of that year.
       
      During the 1982 Falklands War, they were deployed to the southern naval airbase of Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego, and an airfield in Puerto San Julián and despite the distance to their targets and lack of aerial refueling capability, managed to make 153 sorties against both ground and naval targets on the 45 days of operations. In the last role, they damaged HMS Antrim, Brilliant, Broadsword, Ardent, Arrow and Plymouth. Eleven Daggers were lost in combat (nine by AIM-9L Sidewinders fired from Sea Harriers and two by surface to air missiles).
       
      In the 1979 contract with IAI, the Argentine Air Force stipulated that the Daggers would be equipped with new avionics and HUD systems to take them to the Kfir C.2 (and beyond in some subsystems) standard. The program, named Finger, was underway in 1982 when the Falklands War broke out. With the war over, as some of these systems were made by the British Marconi Electronic Systems, they needed to be replaced after an arms embargo was imposed by the UK. The replacement of such systems took the planes to the final Finger IIIB standard mainly by replacing the British equipment with French-built Thomson-CSF.
       
      WHAT'S IN:
       
      - a new plane
      - 10 new skins (2048x2048), including Cap. Raùl Diaz's very own plane - decals
      - ini edits from stock Nesher
       
      CREDITS:
       
      - Ludo for Mirage templates adapted by me
      - fake pilot antennas from Falklands mod (included)
       
      INSTALL:
       
      - You need SF-2 Israel to use
      - put all in main mod folder and overwrite
      - that's all
       
      NOTE:
       
      This mod was sitting on my HD from long time (in fact the skins were made in bmp), but it was kindly requested from a friend
       
       
      Enjoy

    7. AH-64A Peten Over Israel SF2

      Boeing AH-64A Peten mod Ver 1.0 for SF2
       
      DISCLAIMER
      ----------
      This is a third party add on of the AH-64A Apache using models and cockpits created by Dels.
      Flight model and specific Israeli Peten mod was made by me.
       
      It is designed for and works in the SF2 series of games.
       
      This mod is made because of new upgraded Israel 2 Terrain by Wrench. - highly recommended by the way. Instead of working on Something Completely Different i was mixing with this great helo by Dels. So here it is.
       
      AH-64A Peten mod is made as specific aircraft for Israel. Nation Name is changed to Israel and service start date set to 1990.
      It was in my mind just simple mod (at the begining) but ended as little more complex. It is not perfect, but so far it works for now.
      I have changed FM my way. So there is a lot of changes in data file.
      It has a new engines system, new weapon stations, countermeasures and some other stuff.
      I have also put life into TADS and PNVS. Just fun in external view.
      And the most important thing is bumps, dispensers and whistles of Israeli Apache.
      I wanted to make two paint versions so fake pilot is not much help here. So Peten mod is added by weaponstation. Anyway gun is always on board. So this is how it works here.
       
      Some small changes into cockpit ini file.
      Also new Fuel tanks (CARC green and IAF tan) are provided plus M260 and M261 rocket launchers with different warheads. (same as in Cobra packs)
       
      Use vector thrust controll, rudder and controll throttle. It is easy to fly right now.
      Still working on better FM.
       
      WEAPONS
      -------------
       
      The AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and rails included in this package come from FastCargo's excellent "Hellfire and BrimStonefor SFP1/WOV/WOE (Version 1.1)".
      All credit to FC for them, Dels have arranged them in folders for SF2 and made some minor .ini changes. Dels also made the AGM-114K Hellfire II using FC's AGM-114A model.
       
      I made Hellfires as specific station code for IAF. Also skins are without US ARMY markings. So better to use this as it wil not overwrite anything in you weapons directory. Unless you named it same as me.
       
      Hellfire rails are made by FastCargo. I just rename it. I had some issues with loadouts. So again here you should depend on loadout.ini file.
      It always uses two rails upper M272 with two hellfires (up) and lower M299 (with two hellfires on bottom rails only)
      I don't know why but on loadout with 4 hellfires on M299 - in game it was always 3 shown. Strange.
      So to avoid conflicts with previous hellfire rails I made them as specific station code only for Peten.
       
      I am always using Specific station code so I don't have mess in Loadout menu. I can only see weapons that I can/need to carry.
       
      M260 and M261 Rocket launchers. There are two versions of these launchers CARC green and IAF Tan. Same as in my Cobra packs. You can overwrite (recomended). The only change here is display names. To avoid conflicts in loadout menu with previous launchers I changed CARCgreen to M260/M261.warhead.name.US and IAF Tan to M260/M261.warhead.name.IDF. You can overwrite. It wil still works with cobras and here with Peten and no mess with display names.
      Launchers uses my Mk66 hydra rockets. Also here in pack. Same as in latest Cobra packs.
       
      Important here is M230 ChainGun. It is a key to have a Peten mod for early green and late IAF camo.
      Gun is loaded by weaponstation. Also coded.
       
      New sound file for M230 is provided, with specific data entry into SOUNDLIST.ini.
       
      Stingers are available for loadout but i did not put it into loadout.ini. I never seen IAF Apaches with Stingers. Not much hostile flyers there ?
      No other IRM/ARM weapons allowed.
       
      GUNS
      -----------
      30MM_M230 same as in original Dels package but with edited sound file name.
       
      SKINS:
      ----------
      113 Tayeset as they started to use Peten in 1990 and later also 190 Tayeset starting 1995.
      190 Tayeset in new camouflaged tiger scheme from 2003/2004.
       
      All serial numbers as far as I know are historicaly correct, based on available information and photos.
       
       
      INSTALLATION
      ------------
      Copy files to specific folders.
       
       
      You can add the following to your squadronlist.ini
       
      [squadron ---]
      Name=113IAF
      DisplayName=113 Tayeset "Ha'Tsira'a"
      Nation=Israel
       
      [squadron ---]
      Name=190-2IAF
      DisplayName=190 Tayeset "Maga Hakesem"
      Nation=Israel
       
      Higly recomended to use Diego's helopilots.
      or you can use whatever you like by editing the
      AH-64A_Data.ini
       
      ----------------------------------------------------------------
       
      Hope I did not mess too much here.

    8. SF2 WW2 PTO Republic P-47D "Bubbletop" Thunderbolt (0.5 Beta)

      SF2 WW2 PTO Republic P-47D "Bubbletop" Thunderbolt (0.5 Beta) 12/15/2014
       
      = For SF2 (Full4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED!)
       
      *This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. It was built for SF2 ONLY!!.*
       
      This is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co.
      We are calling this "version 0.5 beta", as there are a few minor issues with the LOD, and these will repaired as Real Life ™ allows. But, we wanted to get them out into the hands of our WW2 End Users ™ for their examinations and so forth. See Notes below for a more detailed explaination.
       
      REMINDER: this pack contains PTO Bubbletop Jugs =ONLY= !!! Other theatres/users will follow as time permits, and as they are completed.
       
      This pak contains, as stated above, a NEW aircraft, representing the Bubbletop P-47D (-25 thru -30-ish) Thunderbolt as seen in 1944 through war's end.
       
      Skin(s) included are:
       
      41st FS, 35th FG (circa late 1944, Philippines)
       
      All markings are decals, excepting the 41st's nose marking (which is painted on, as are the rudder stripes). Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
      Damage textures are also new, in DDS format.
      I'm trying out a 'new style' of hangar screen, so I hope you like it.
      The canopy opens/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0
      Pilots, sounds, weapons are all included.
       
      As there are several P-74D Bubbletops available, when in game you'll see:
       
      P-47D-25 Thunderbolt (CAF)
       
      on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate it from any others that you may (or may not) have.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, as usual, give the "Notes" section a read, too.
       
      Happy Landings!

    9. SF2 AD-4B Skyraider, KAW Era

      SF2 AD-4B Skyraider, KAW Era 4/15/2015
       
      = For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Preferred) =
       
      *Note: =MUST= have SF2:V as part of your merged install to access the A-1H lod used herein. This, like the other
      KAW Skyraiders with the "_3W suffix, is based off the stock A-1H lod.*
       
      The mod represents AD-4B Skyraiders during the Korean War. It should be noted, the -4B was equipped for "special weapons delivery", and was the primary type the USN had for this at the time. Of course, it carries all the conventional munitions as well, so standard mission tasking remains. 2 special loadouts are available through the 3W mission editor (see "Notes" for more details).
       
      The skin herein represents:
       
      VA-195 "Dambusters" aboard USS Princeton (CVA-37) circa 1952
       
      The aircraft is finished is standard 1950s Dark Gloss Navy Blue. The skin is in jpg format. All markings are decals, excepting the green squadron color on the tail fin. Decal randomization is TRUE.
      The BuNums, while correct for this model, are not specific to any squadron, and should be considerd 'generic' in nature.
      Wingfold and canopy are controled via the Standard Animiation Keystrokes ™. Shift/9 for the wings, and Shift/0 for the window.
      Most weapons are suppllied, including the low-yeild (8 kt) "special". The nuke effects are from the Gunny Pak, and I HOPE I've got all the pieces/parts in place; if not, you'll have to locate them yourselves from the Gunny Pak (or just intall the Effects from there). The other weapons used can be found in the KAW weapons pack.
       
      On the Aircraft selection drop down, you'll see
       
      AD-4B Skyraider (3W)
       
      To differentiate it from the other -4s. The "3W" indicates use of the stock 3W lod.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....In fact, read them before installing, but after unzipping of course! This mostly pertains the effects used for the 'special weapon'.
       
      Good Hunting!

      *Note: must have SF2:V as part of your merged install to access the A-1H lod used herein. This, like several of the KAW Skyraiders with the "_3W suffix, is based off the stock A-1H lod.*
       
      Something slightly different, for USN Skyraider squadrons in the mid-1950s. I basiclly did this as I got tired of seeing DGNB AD-4Ns parking on deck intermixed with Grey/White jets and such (even though that IS historically correct). But, some early models DID survive the switch, and operated in the Gull Grey/White. This is one of them...
       
      The skin herein represents:
       
      VA-216 "Black Diamonds" aboard USS Yorktown (CVA-10) circa 1956/57
       
      The skin is in jpg format. All markings, excepting the tail Black Diamonds, are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE.The BuNums, while correct for this model, are not specific to any squadron, and should be considerd 'generic' in nature.
      Wingfold and canopy are controled via the Standard Animiation Keystrokes ™. Shift/9 for the wings, and Shift/0 for the window.
      All weapons used are stock in-game items, excepting the APS-31 radar pod and ALT-7 ECM pod.
      I'm trying out a different "style" for the Hangar screen; I hope you like it.
       
      On the Aircraft selection drop down, you'll see
       
      AD-4N Skyraider (Late) (3W)
       
      This will differentiate it from the -4NL and other -4 marks. The "3W" indicates use of the stock 3W lod.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
       
      Good Hunting!

    11. [Fictional] Avia S-92 'Ilmavoimat'

      Avia S-92 'Ilmavoimat' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
       
      This is a fictional version of the Avia S-92 (Czech built Me-262A-1a) by Veltro2K in post-war service with the Finnish Air Force during the 1946-1951 timeline.
       
      JonathanRL has some campaign plans for it and set me a skinning challenge so I thought I'd release it here as a 'normal' Ilmavoimat version for anyone who wants it.
       
       
      INSTRUCTIONS
       
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the S-92_Ilm folder into your Aircraft folder.
       
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the S-92_Ilm folder into your Decals folder.
       
      3. From the EFFECTS folder drag and drop both files into your Effects folder.
       
      4. From the SOUNDS folder drag and drop the Jumo file into your Sounds folder.
       
       
      CREDITS
       
      Thanks to Veltro2K for making the 3D model of the S-92 'Turbina' (Veltro2K's original S-92 Readme including his credits/thanks is enclosed).
       
      And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
       
      Regards
       
      Spinners

    12. SF2 WW2 ETO Republic P-47D "Bubbletop" Thunderbolt (0.5 Beta)

      SF2 WW2 ETO Republic P-47D "Bubbletop" Thunderbolt (0.5 Beta) 12/15/2014
       
      = For SF2 (Full4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED!)
       
      *This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. It was built for SF2 ONLY!!.*
       
      This is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co.
      We are calling this "version 0.5 beta", as there are a few minor issues with the LOD, and
      these will repaired as Real Life ™ allows. But, we wanted to get them out into the
      hands of our WW2 End Users ™ for their examinations and so forth. See Notes below for a
      more detailed explanation.
       
      REMINDER: this pack contains ETO Bubbletop Jugs =ONLY=!!! Other theatres/users will follow
      as time permits, and as they are completed.
       
      This pak contains, as stated above, a NEW aircraft, representing the Bubbletop P-47D (-25
      thru -30-ish) Thunderbolt as seen in late 1943 through war's end.
      Skins included are:
       
      8th AF
      56th Fighter Group :
       
      61st FS (early 44, OD/G)
      62nd FS (mid/late 44-45), camo)
      63rd FS (sometime in 44, NM)
       
      and
       
      9th AF:
      379th FS, 362nd FG (full D-Day markings, NM)
       
      All markings are decals. Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
      Please note, Squadron or Group specific markings -ARE- painted on, as are the Invasion
      Stripes. There are some nose arts.
       
      All the 1stGen Hangar and/or Loading screens were either rebuilt to SF2-spec, or created
      new for this package. They are in jpg format, and fit SF2 formatting. Damage textures are
      also new, in DDS format. There are 2 different Loading Screens, and you can swap them as
      you see fit.
      The canopy opens/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0
      Pilots, sounds, weapons are all included.
      Templates for this aircraft ARE included, for those skinners that wish to do other units,
      or other theatres, or Allied users (and see my appeal in the "Notes" section <grin>). The
      template is in the main zip of the package, so don't forget to move it OUT of your mods
      folder or things might get confusing!
       
      As there are several P-74D Bubbletops available, when in game you'll see:
       
      P-47D-20 Thunderbolt (CAF)
       
      on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate it from any others that
      you may (or may not) have.
      As some units are repeated, those with the mods I built for Wolf's Jugs, can choose to
      keep those, or remove them to storage.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE
      read them!!! Also, as usual, give the "Notes" section a read, too.
       
      Happy Landings!

    13. SF2 Post-War TB-25J Mitchell Pak

      SF2 Post-War TB-25J Mitchell Pak 4/5/2015
       
      -- Something just for fun! --
       
      = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      **Note: This mod references the stock destroyed Il-28. Also, due to modifications to various inis, this mod will -NOT- work in 1stGen game installs at any patch level. This has not/cannot/will not be tested by me.**
       
      This little mod represents TB-25J (glass nosed) Mitchells in serivce with the USAF in the post-WW2 time frame. Many of these aircraft were retained and converted to personal transports, navigational & multi-engine trainers, or squadron 'hacks' up until the late 1950s. The aircraft is completely unarmed. However, "those that know how" can readily turn the aircraft to it's original status and function. (see Notes for details).
       
      The aircraft is finished in Natural Metal (withOUT the late 50s white fues top or black "anti-soot" nacelles), and carries standard post-1947 USAF marking, including Buzz Numbers. The skin is in jpg format and all markings are decals. Decal Randomization is TRUE. Engine sounds, pilot figures, and a "couple of other things" are included.
       
      When in game, you'll see
       
      TB-25J Mitchell (v2k)
       
      on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu. This will differentiate it from any other B-25s you may (or may not) have. (even though there ARE no other TB-25s!!)
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!
      Remember, an aircraft like this one, saved the world from The Giant Claw!!!
       
      Happy Landings!!

    16. SF2 "What If" Corsair Mk.V FAA Skin Pack

      SF2 "What If" Corsair Mk.V FAA Skin Pack 3/30/2015
       
      *For SF2 -ONLY-!! Full-5 Merged Reccomended*
       
      This package contains 2 late service "What If..." skins for the RN FAA Corsair Mk.V recently released in the "KAW FAA What If Aircraft Pak". You can find the base aircraft at the following URL (and you'll need it to add these skins to):
      http://combatace.com/files/file/15387-sf2-kaw-royal-navy-fleet-air-arm-what-if-aircraft-pack/
       
      Reminder: this is ONLY a skin/decal pak!
      These 2 skins 'represent' FAA Corsairs in the post-Korean War time frame, up until the Suez Crisis.
       
      Units represented are:
       
      813 NAS, HMS Eagle (crica 1953-55)
      830 NAS, HMS Eagle (1956 -with Suez War Id bands)
       
      Both aircraft are finished is standard FAA dark grey uppers/sky sides and unders.
      The SF2 date switch is used for both skins; 813 activating post-Korea, and 830 activating for the Suez War. Both use the same pool of decals. All markings are decals. Decal randomization is set to "TRUE"
      Included also is the Mk.5 rocket rack, with corrected End of Service date. This will replace the one in the original package listed above (sorry about that!).
       
      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.
       
      Happy Landings!!

    17. SF2 KAW Hawker Sea Fury (SB) Pack

      SF2 KAW Hawker Sea Fury (SB) Pack 4/4/2015
       
      = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      *Note: There is a distinct probability that this mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs at any patch level. End Users ™ that attempt it, do so at their own risk. A Full 5 Merged install is reccomened at the LATEST patch level.*
       
      This package contains a NEW aircraft for SF2, the Hawker Sea Fury FB.11 by Skippybing. We've been waiting a long time for this, and through the work of some damn good people, finally have it operaional for the game.
       
      Skins included are for the following units:
       
      FAA:
      801 (HMS Glory, 1951 -with stripes)
      802 (HMS Theseus, early 1951 -no stripes)
      807 (HMS Ocean, 1952, -wth stripes)
       
      RAN:
      805 (HMAS Sydney)
       
      All skins are in bmp format, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. All markings are decals (from PauloPanz' excellent upgrade of the orginal Sea Fury by Simon Porter). This will allow for easy creation of other FAA or other countries markings (as long as it's in the standard FAA camo). The usual 'box art' hangar screen is included, revamped for SF2.
       
      Canopy and wingfold operate via the 'standard animation keystrokes' (shift/0 for the window, and Shift/9 for the wings). Weapons are NOT included (all those used are in the KAW weapons pak), other than the drop tank. However, the pilot figure and AvHistory engine sound is.
       
      For the skinners, I've included the partial template I had to create. Those with the talent, time and inclination are encourged to expand my work, and use it to create other the countries and squadron users various paint schemes. The user list included has almost all listed. Expansion there is also encouraged. The template folder itself, as you'll see after unzipping, is OUTSIDE the to-be-installed /Objects folder. Put it somewheres safe, eh?
       
      As an extra added bonus, some ships. HMAS Sydney, from eburger's SF2NA CV SuperPack is included for the RAN flyers. It's had a few minor changes. See notes for details.
      Also, My "stand in" Tribal DD, with expanded userlist and some minor corrections (also usable for WW2!!). As well as RAN "Battle" class DDs, stand-ins bases off Stephan1918s V/W class DDs (closest fit), for you Battle Grouping pleasure.
       
      When in-game, on the aircraft selection menu you'll see:
       
      Sea Fury FB.11 [sb]
       
      This not only tags is as "skippybing", but will diferentiate it from Simon Porter's older one.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, take note of the "Legal and Usage Disclaimer', it's been changed for this aircraft.
       
      Good Hunting!

    18. OH-6A Loaches in NAM

      Hughes OH-6A CAYUSE Ver 1.0 for SF2
      ver. 0.95
      This is a third party add on of the OH-6A CAYUSE using models* and cockpits created by me.
      *External model is build by my friend Tomek Wachowski and me, years ago for differnt purpose. Fortunately he found some early work files on his hard drive and brought to me. With some work i was able to bring it back to life. Technicaly it is 80% new model compared to original old one flying somewhere out there.
      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.
      Few thing still needs to be done here. But I decided to upload it already.

      ******************IMPORTANT******************
       
      This addon works only with my WeaponPACK (included in rar file). All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Loach features:
       
      OH-6A Loach:
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. Don't forget to retract before shooting.
       
      A2Ground mode - M70E1 gunsight.
       
      In OH-6A Cayuse model XM70E1 gunsight will apear in cockpit and external model only when gun is loaded on weaponstation.
       
       
      OH-6A Cayuse only:
       
      ANIMATION 8 - front left door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 9 - front right door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - rear door.
       
       
      This helicopteris build in two variants. First is ‚clean’ out of factory OH-6A Cayuse. Just small scout chopper. This is additional aircraft to main file here.
      OH-6A Cayuse as seen on many photos from Vietnam War. Known also as Loach.
      In this model you can switch to rear gunner positionand actualy really hit ground targets with M60. You just have to aim throug rear – front sight line. Like in real gun.
      It is not prefect but this game as you know is not supporting choppers, double cockpits and many many more things. So this time again it is just to have at least good feeling.
       
      Gunner is made as internal weapon not weapon station. This way is better. Gunner is set as SECONDARY GUN by default.
       
      You can really fly low and slow. And in Pink Team just mark targets for Cobra wingman.
      I am sugesting to fly low on 40-50% of throttle. around 45degree vector control, use pulse rudder to control left right, it is realy easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
      Important her to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
       
      Fuel. Remeber it is small chopper. And it can carry only around 54 US Gals of fuel. I belive it is enough for around 2 hours of flight here maybe little more.
       
      Skins.
      All serial numbers are historicaly correct.
      Paint schemes and markings. I was trying to be acurate as much as possible in paint schemes and markins. Some skins for unit are generic because there were some little diferences within unit itself. Plus this schemes represents aircrafts used bu units during 2-3 year of service.
       
       
      OH-6A Cayuse standard olive green paint with two serial numbers.
       
      OH-6A Loach. Here i was trying to match my AH-1G Cobra.
      All serial numbers are historicaly correct.
      D Company 227th AHB
      11th ACR
      C Troop 1/9 Cavalry
      D Troop 1/4 Cavalry
      D Troop 3/4 Cavalry
      C Troop 16th Cavalry
      F Troop 4th Cavalry
       
       
      Story about Weapon systems.
      Internal. Gunner with M60 400 round of ammo.
      No flash by default. Because with cocpit movement on gunner station it apear somewhere on elbow. better when it is not there. It can be easy changed by setting entry on M60 in aircraftdata.ini to TRUE
       
      Additional Weapons.
      - Weapon Station 1
       
      XM27E1 – M134 Minigun
      M27 - as above redesignated an unfaired Minigun M134 since 1969.
      XM8 – M129 40mm automatic grenade launcher. Not seen in Vietnam.
       
       
      Plus some extra weapons that were spotted on photos from Vietnam War.
       
      - Weapon Stations 2 & 3
      Up to two single tubes for Mk40 FFAR rockets attached on skids, with different warhead rockets. M151, M156, M229, M255A1, M259, M257, M247.
       
      - Weapon Station 6
      Experimental quad launcher unit developed by Rock Island Arsenal attached inside cargo compartment. Similiar to system mounted later in exported versions of H-500 Series. Very rare, seen on few pictures from Vietnam War but it was there.
      Do not mix Weapon station 2 and 6 on loadouts menu. Meaning to be correct 2 or 1 single tube OR Quad launcher.
       
      - Weapon Station 7
      Most interesting is 7 tube XM158 launcher attached to XM27 susbsytem instead of 7.62mm minigun. Very rare field mod probably instaled only on one aircraft (no. 67-16321). I just used two versions with M151 and M156 warheads.
       
      - Weapon Stations 4 & 5
      Smoke grenades. DO NOT GIVE THEM TO WINGMAN.
      Just five colours of smoke grenades, Yellow, White, Green, Red, Violet. I am not sure if this will support available color smoke effects. So probably wil need to create new smoke effects or mod smoke grenades.
       
      - Weapon Station 8
      Exhaust modification in late Loaches. Starting 1972 when SA-7 was threatening US crews this mod was often instaled on scout choppers. Same purpose as on late G Cobra models. I will apear on aircraft by default starting 1973 due to loadout.ini file.
       
      - Weapon Stations 9, 10, 11, 12.
       
      Not to be used on OH-6A !
      Purpose of this is to play Pink Team on single mission with armed AH-1G Cobra.
      In single mission on loadout menu you can change wingman aircraft to any available AH-1G Cobra and arm it with designated weapons for Cobra. If you don't like this option you can easly disable this by puting \ mark in data.ini file in front of weapon station entry.
       
       
      Have fun. Enjoy.
      Report bugs. Mod it your way.
      Hope I did not miss anything here
      Regards.
      More to come in OH-6 category.

    19. SF2 KAW Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm "What If" Aircraft Pack

      SF2 KAW Fleet Air Arm "What If" Aircraft Pack 3/30/2015
       
      *For SF2 -ONLY-!! Full-5 Merged Reccomended*
       
      This package contains 2 "What If..." aircraft as used (???) by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm during the Korean War.
      They are:
       
      Hawker Seahawk F.1A
      898 NAS, HMS Ocean
       
      Vought Corsair Mk.V (F4U-4B)
      1841 NAS, HMS Theseus
      1830 NAS, HMS Glory (1953)
       
      The Seahawk has gotten a major revamp from the very old 1stGen version released several thousand years ago. It should be noted at this time, the Seahawk has "some issues" on recovering back on the boat. See Notes for more info. Hopefully, someone can fix this.
      It also gets a 'new' cockpit, courtesy of Stary.
      The Corsair has 2 skins, both with Korean era "invasion stripes", but 1841 NAS is in USN DGNB. Essentialy, a RN marked USN bird, carrying UK ordanance (ok, the 60# rockets). 1830 NAS has been repainted to "standard" FAA camo (grey uppers, "sky" unders). The SF2 date switch is NOT used for either of these skins. Both use the same pools of decals.
      On all skins, all markings are decals. Recal randomization is set to "TRUE"
       
      When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop down you'll see:
       
      Corsair Mk.V
      SeaHawk F.1A
       
      Weapons, pilots, and such are provided for the Seahawk. With the exception of a 'new' rocket rack for the Corsair, it reuses most everything already in the KAW Weapons Pack.
      As all markings are decals; this is make it easy for other texture artists to change the ship ID letter, and create other fictional squadrons.
      For the Corsair only, the Standarn Animation Keystrokes are used for wingfold and canopy (Shift/9 & Shift/0). The Seahawks have no working canopy or wingfolds (it's an old model, what can I say?).
      The Seahawk also gets new DDS damage textures, and many smaller 'tweeks' (again, see Notes below).
       
      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. In the Seahawk's aircraft folder, is my original (2008) what-if readme.
       
      Happy Landings & Have Fun!!

    21. SF2 Soviet Transport and AWAC Aircraft by Veltro2K

      SF2 Soviet Transport and AWAC Aircraft by Veltro2K
       
      = For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
       
      This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's Soviet/WarPac Transport and AWAC aircraft.
      It is REQUIRED that you have SF2NA in your merged install, as several of these reference
      the stock 3W Tu-95 Bear destroyed model. Some reference the stock 3W An-12 destroyed
      model. Hence, the need for a Full 5 Merged install. It is usable without, but you won't
      have the dead wreckage on the ground. Also, the AWAC versions use the "AEW" avionics
      coding from SF2NA.
       
      Included in the pak are remods of:
       
      An-22 Cock
      A-50 Mainstay AWAC
      IL-76 Candid
      Tu-114 Cleat (Aeroflot airliner)
      Tu-126 Moss AWAC
       
      Aircraft that were exported have userlist inis included (ie: the Il-76). Any that I
      missed, End Users ™ are encouraged to 'fill in the blanks', and post those changes.
      All avionics, in particular for the AWACs, have been brought up SF2NA standards at the
      July 2012 patch level. New sounds for the prop engines are included. Although cockpits ARE
      included for all aircraft, really people...let the AI handle them. They exist for 2
      reasons: eye candy and targets.
      Skins remain in their bmp format, and decal radomization is set to TRUE. All decals
      reference stock markings, including the Bort numbers. New damage textures are supplied, in
      DDS format.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read
      them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read, in particular on operational usage.
      The Legal Statement has been changed with regards to these aircraft.
      For those that still have the original releases, as there HAVE been changes and additions
      in several of the inis, you may wish to examine them, mostly in respect to SF2NA, you may wish
      to replace the originals with these.
       
      **These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems
      that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be
      created**.
       
      Happy Landings!

    23. [Fictional] Super Etendard Marineflieger for SF2

      Fictional mod of Foxmonters Super Etendard to make it look like a fictional attacker for the west german navy. It shall depict a bird that could have entered service in the german air forces if the military had not had the "double-engine doctrine" caused by the high losses inflicted by the Starfighter (or "Widowmaker"; nickname from the german pilots).
       
       
      INSTRUCTIONS
       
      1. Drop the folders into your Objects folder. If asked to overwrite, click yes.
       
      See included readmes for further notes and original credits.
       
       
      CREDITS
       
      Thanks to:
       
      Foxmonter and all other involved people for the aircraft itself.
       
      Ravenclaw_007 for the german pilot included here.
       
      Wrench for the combo pak from which I've taken the model from.
       
      Flogger23 for the great template.

    24. SF2 WW2 MTO Fiat G-55 by Veltro2K

      SF2 WW2 MTO Fiat G-55 by Veltro2K 3/25/2015
       
      = For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
       
      This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's WW2 Italian Fighter.
       
      This is a fairly "quick and dirty" upgrade for Veltro's Fiat G-55 Centauro. It's been given a "new" FM, but as always, will need some fine tuning.
       
      I've split the 2 skins, into "before and after" the Italian surrender of 1943. You have:
       
      51 Stormo, RA (circa mid-1943)
       
      Squadriglia Montefusco, ANR (post 10/1943 -- although the paint scheme is more in Luftwaffe style)
       
      I did NOT use the SF2 "date switch" for these.
       
      *Please note that the Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana, is =NOT= on the existing ww2 Nations.ini. Nor is the Allied-aligned Aviazione Cobelligerante Italiana. If you want, you'll have to create the new nations yourselves. See "Notes" below.*
       
      Skins remain in their bmp format, and decal radomization is set to TRUE. New damage textures are supplied, in DDS format. My standard "box art" style hangar and loading screens are also included. And, thanks to Mue's Lod viewer, I've exported a lined map psd for those wishing to attempt to create other skins. This should give you a base to draw new panel and rivet lines.
      A userlist ini was created, but is incomplete (most post-war versions were Merlin powered).
      Included are a pilot figure, AvHistory engine sound, and a new drop tank. All other weapons you should have in the WW2 weapons pack (it uses LW bombs, until we get freeware Italian ones)
      The canopy open/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™ (shift/0).
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Give the "Notes" section a glance, as well.
       
      ** The aircraft herein is released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, or until such time as if/when new models are created and released.***
       
      Happy Landings!

    25. F-5F and F-5FM Brazilian Air Force

      The Northrop F-5A/B Freedom Fighter and the F-5E/F Tiger II are part of a family of supersonic Light fighter, initially designed in the late 1950s by Northrop Corporation. Being smaller and simpler than contemporaries such as the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II, the F-5 cost less to both procure and operate, making it a popular export aircraft. The F-5 started life as a privately funded light fighter program by Northrop in the 1950s. The design team wrapped a small, highly aerodynamic fighter around two compact and high-thrust General Electric J85 engines, focusing on performance and low cost of maintenance. Though primarily designed for the day air superiority role, the aircraft is also a capable ground-attack platform. The F-5A entered service in the early 1960s. During the Cold War, over 800 were produced through 1972 for U.S. allies. Though the USAF had no acknowledged need for a light fighter, it did procure roughly 1,200 Northrop T-38 Talon trainer aircraft, which were directly based on the F-5A.
       
      After winning the International Fighter Aircraft competition in 1970, a program aimed at providing effective low-cost fighters to American allies, Northrop introduced the second-generation F-5E Tiger II in 1972. This upgrade included more powerful engines, higher fuel capacity, greater wing area and improved leading edge extensions for a better turn rate, optional air-to-air refueling, and improved avionics including air-to-air radar. Primarily used by American allies, it was also used in US training exercises. A total of 1,400 Tiger IIs were built before production ended in 1987. More than 3,800 F-5 and T-38 aircraft were produced in Hawthorne, California.
       
      The F-5 was also developed into a dedicated reconnaissance version, the RF-5 Tigereye. The F-5 also served as a starting point for a series of design studies which resulted in the Northrop YF-17 and the F/A-18 navalized fighter aircraft. The Northrop F-20 Tigershark was an advanced variant to succeed the F-5E which was ultimately canceled when export customers did not emerge. The F-5N/F variants are in service with the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps as an adversary trainer. Approximately 500 aircraft are still in service as of 2014.
       
      In October 1974, the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) ordered 36 F-5E and 6 F-5B aircraft from Northrop for $72 million. The first three aircraft arrived on 12 March 1975. In 1988, FAB acquired 22 F-5E and four F-5EF second-hand USAF "agressor" fighters. A total of 15 of these aircraft were part of the initial batch of 30 aircraft produced by Northrop. In 1990, FAB retired all remaining five F-5Bs; later, they were sent to Brazilian museums around the country.
       
      In 2001, Elbit Systems and Embraer started work on a $230 million Brazilian F-5 modernization program, performed over an eight-year period, upgrading 46 F-5E/F aircraft, re-designated as F-5EM and F-5FM. The modernization centered on several areas: new electronic warfare systems, the Grifo F radar, an air-to-air refueling system, INS/GPS-based navigation, support for new weapons, targeting and self-defense systems, HOTAS, LCD displays, helmet-mounted displays (HMDs), Radar Warning Receiver, encrypted communications, cockpit compatibility for night vision goggles, On-Board Oxygen Generation System (OBOGS) and various new onboard computer upgrades. One important capability is the secure communication with R-99 airborne early warning platforms and ground stations.
       
      Externally, the new aircraft features a larger nose cone that accommodates the larger radar equipment. The first F-5EM was handed over on 21 September 2005. On 7 July 2003, four Rafael Litening III targeting pods were ordered at a cost of USD 13 million, to be used on F-5M together with three Rafael Sky Shield jamming pods ordered in 5 July 2006 at a cost of USD 42 million.
       
      In 2009, FAB bought eight single-seat and three twin-seat F-5F used aircraft from Jordan in a US$21 million deal. These aircraft were built between 1975 and 1980. On 14 April 2011, a contract of $153 million was signed with Embraer and Elbit to modernize the additional F-5s bought from Jordan, and to supply one more flight simulator as a continuation of the contract signed in 2000. These F-5s will receive the same configuration as those from the initial 46 F-5s currently completing the upgrade process. The first delivery of this second batch of upgraded jet fighters is scheduled for 2013 with expected use to 2030.
