    1. P-3A/B "Orion" Pak by Wrench/Florian

      P-3A/B "Orion" Pak  by Wrench/Florian                1/1/23
      -- For SF2, Any & All --
      This is a mod to Florian's Lockheed P-3C "Orion" martime patrol and anti-submarine aircraft, "backdating" it to the original P-3A & B models of the early 1960s through 1980(ish). Consider this a "new(ish)" airplane.
      Included are 3 US Navy skins, representing early Orions in Fleet service.
      Early Paint Scheme of Seaplane Grey/White:
      VP-8 Tigers (2nd oldest still active USN squadron)
      VP-46 Grey Knights
      Late Paint Scheme (1968 & later) Light Gull Grey/White:
      VP-5 Mad Foxes
      The SF2 date switch is active. Each skin gets a set of 18 Serial (BuNum) and Modex numbers. VP-5 gets it Fox tail art as well. As is usual, those BuNums matched to their Modex are marked with a star (*). The others, while correct for their squadrons, could not be matched to a Modex.
      All skins are in jpg format. All new decals are included. Decal randomization for ALL skins is TRUE. All markings are decals, EXCEPT the VP-5 blue tail fin top. It had to be painted on, for some odd reason I've yet to sus out.
      All sounds, weapons* and various misc stuff are included. (*weapons are the same as the ones included in the recently uploaded P-3C Remod Pack)
      As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. PLEASE read it!!!
      Happy Landings!

    2. SU-27 Flanker

      This is a primitive version of the SU-27 Flanker heavy fighter, it is not optimized for ground attack but it can carry a lot of bombs.
      the model is a SU-35 casing that we once worked with ALEDUCAT and it was never finished, today I finished it as a Sukhoi 27 to share it.
      the chosen cockpit is the one created by YEYEYE, the original readme is added.
      The missiles that I chose are from some weapons pack, I don't know who created them but it is appreciated.
      I hope you enjoy.
      By pressing the corresponding vectorization keys (vertical thrust) the plane becomes unstable like the SU-57 model, being able to perform the Cobra maneuver.

    3. P-3C "Orion" Remod Pak 

      P-3C "Orion" Remod Pak                12/19/22
      -- For SF2, Any & All --
      This is a fairly heavy overhaul, plus numerous additions, to Florian's Lockheed P-3C "Orion" maritime patrol and anti-submarine aircraft. Please be advised, as the physical model has not been "finished" since it's 2012 release, it may still be considered an "advanced Beta".
      This package, due to numerous changes (listed in the Change Log), is designed to REPLACE IN TOTAL the early 2011 kit. If you have that original repackaging mod, you CAN just drop all of this one directly over it, or delete the aircraft and decals folders and start fresh. Your Choice (tm). Either way SHOULD work with no issues. But always think 'safety first'.
      The older, original skins have been completely revamped:
      USNGrey1
      USNGrey2 *see notes about these 2*
      Royal Norwegian Air Force (No.333 Squadron) original Dark Sea Grey, and NEW Lo-Viz
      The new skins are:
      JMSDF -in both GullGrey/White and LoViz grey overall (see notes)
      RAAF -both #10 & #11 squadrons
      USN- VP-40 "Fighting Marlins" (GG/W)
      All skins are in jpg format. All new decals are included, "almost" all with historically matching BuNums-to-Modex numbers (wherever possible, and the information was discoverable). Decal randomization for ALL skins is TRUE. For those forces with paint scheme changes at specific years, the SF2 Date Switch (tm) is active.  
      As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. There is also a huge amount of information in the "Notes" section. PLEASE read it!!!
      Happy Landings!

    4. 23d Wing Pope AFB 1994

      23d Wing Pope AFB 1994
      In the 1990s, the USAF experimented with composite wings that would have everything needed within a single unit for deployment into a regional fight.
      The 23 Wing was formed in 1992 to bring about this vision, as applied to direct support of US Army forces. By 1994, 4 squadrons were ready at Pope AFB NC
      to support the US Army's 82d ABN DIV at neighboring Fort Bragg. The 2d and 41st Airlift Squadrons flying the C-130E Hercules, the 74th Fighter Squadron flying
      the F-16C/D Block 40 Vipers, and the 75th Fighter Squadron flying the A-10A Warthog. As is tradition for the 23d Wing, which traces its lineage to the
      Flying Tigers of World War 2, every aircraft in the wing sported a sharks mouth.
      This mod brings together everything needed to get the 23d Wing into the fight. Complete aircraft (including a newly revamped F-16D Block 40 from ravenclaw007), period specific weapons, sounds and effects.
      Included
      Viper Team F-16C Block 40 and 75th FS skin
      ravenclaw007/Viper Team F-16D Block 40 and 75th FS skin
      Dels C-130E_SKE with 2d ALS, 41st ALS Grey and 23d Wing Euro 1 skins
      Various period specific weapons (actively in use 1994-1996)
      Installation
      unzip folder * drop into mod folder of your choice * allow overwrites
      Known Issues
      The C-130 and its weapons are primarlily eye candy. There are unfortuneatly no paratroop drop missions in SF2, and so if you want to drop say 1/325 INF onto a drop zone,
      you will need to select a recon mission and punch those partarooper out by hand
      I have been having issues getting the LAPES Sheridan tank to create a "crater" after dropping. it is still included for the visuals of puching a tank out the back of a Herk,
      and because there was still an Airborne Armor Bn at Bragg in 1994. But at this time the tank will disappear on contact with the ground
       
      Credits
      Viper Team               all F-16 models included
      ravenclaw_007         tweeked F-16D model and templates (C and D)

      I hope you enjoy this mod. After 12 years total at Ft Bragg (all but 4 of them seeing the Hogs overhead near everyday) this one was a bit more personal than some other mods

      UPDATE 31 DEC 20220
      XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
      After further research on other Hog units, and closer examination of the TW model, i have included Spectre8750's A-10A_93 model with updated numbers list.
      I also changed several serials after determining that they were at other bases in 1995. The deduction I used to find the C-130 serials didnt work as well
      for the Hogs. But it is fixed and I even discovered two Tiger Shark Hogs that were still in Euro 1 camoflage at the time. The A-10A_93 features two skins for
      the bulk of the gray birds and the two green ones.

    6. F-14A Iranian Bombcat

      "F-14A Iranian Bombcat"
       
      --- !!! Requires SF2NA !!! 
      --- It uses AvionicsF14A.dll, F-14A_77_Cockpit.lod and F-14A_77.lod model by ThirdWire.

    7. Mirage F1CT standard T1

      Mirage F1CT standard T1
      This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.
      The Mirage F1CT is a ground attack version of the Mirage F1C-200. Following their replacement in the air defence role by the Mirage 2000, the French Air Force had a number of surplus Mirage F1C-200s, and in 1988 it launched a conversion programme to turn these aircraft into interim ground attack aircraft to replace elderly Mirage IIIEs and Mirage Vs. The Mirage F1CT program brought the avionics of the F1C up to the standard of the F1CR, with the radar upgraded with the additional air-to-ground modes of the Cyrano IVM-R, an improved navigation/attack system fitted, with a laser rangefinder fitted under the nose. It was fitted with new Mk 10 ejection seats, while improved radar detection and warning devices, chaff/flare dispensers, and secure radios were also added. It gained the ability to carry a variety of air-to-ground weapons, including rockets, cluster bombs and laser-guided bombs, while retaining the F1Cs air-to-air armament (Wikipedia).
      F1CT1 specifics:
      R550, no R530, S530F, AUF2, no CLB4, no CLB8 radio-altimeter Inertial Navigation System Seat Mk10 RWR sherloc AAR probe laser ranging TMV630 Barax, Barracuda, Phimat, Corail gondolas (P0 station)  CC420 pods capability RPL201 EFT no left gun double wingtip position lights A big thank to all on Combatace and C6 forums that helped us solving issues we encountered.
      Any omission in credits is totally unwanted, if I forgot somebody, let me know, I will correct this.
      This addon is and will in all cases remain freeware.
      Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms.
      Enjoy
      The Mirage F-1 Team

    9. SU-27U Flanker

      This SU-27U package is for an SF2 installation. Just copy and paste the items from the included folders into the corresponding folders contained in your Saved Games>ThirdWire folder

      NOTES:
      This is a primitive version of the SU-27U Flanker heavy fighter, it is not optimized for ground attack but it can carry a lot of bombs.
      the model is a SU-35 casing that we once worked with ALEDUCAT and it was never finished, today I finished it as a Sukhoi 27 to share it.

      The missiles that I chose are from some weapons pack, I don't know who created them but it is appreciated.
      I hope you enjoy.
      By pressing the corresponding vectorization keys (vertical thrust) the plane becomes unstable like the SU-57 model, being able to perform the Cobra maneuver.
      hope you like

    10. [Fictional] North American F-100D Super Sabre

      North American F-100D Super Sabre (West Germany) for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
      This is a simple mod of the stock F-100D to create a fictional F-100D in service with the German Air Force in the 1958-1967 timeline with colourful 'Black Tulip' markings for JG 71.
      I'm releasing this 'as is' as a request from a couple of my friends here at Combat Ace. Only 8 aircraft numbers are supplied and the complex nose marking is the best I can do with limited time.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-100Dwg folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-100Dwg folder into your Decals folder.
      That's it! In your aircraft selection drop down menu you will find this under F-100D Super Sabre (West Germany) this is just to separate it from the standard F-100D as I've removed the refuelling probe from this version.

      CREDITS
      As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
      And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
      Regards 
      Spinners

    11. EAV-8B

      This is the AV-8B Plus Harrier in service with the Spanish Navy, known as EAV-8B
      Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) A fake pilot is needed to run this mod. 
      It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
       
      Skin is in 4096x4096 format. So you can easily resize down.  If you have problems running this in game. Resize skins to lower resolutions
      Animations:
      1= canopy open - close
      4= refueling probe - beware of a speed limit
      3= night vision mode - not really helping but it is there - inside and outside animation.
      ************************************************************************************
      You can exlplore ini files for some additional features like in cockpit "FLIR" feed on HUD .
      AAQ-28 can be loaded only on station number 5 and centerline
      AIM-120 can be loaded only on stations 2 and 6.
      ECM also activates RWR on digital display indicator - even if ECM pod is not loaded.
      for proper sound work you should add these lines into soundlist.ini

    12. IL-28 - H-5 COLLECTION

      THE BEAGLE KENNEL
      A FULL COLLECTION OF ILYUSHIN IL-28 & HARBIN H-5 "BEAGLES".
       
      A "one stop shop" for the IL-28/IL-28R/H-5 with all the colour schemes for all the nations using the type. Of course some of the schemes are somewhat speculative, but, I think they are definitely useable and valid, the Pakistani beagles for example, were not in service for very long, as the aircraft were not popular in Pakistani service, also the Finnish ones, Finland only had about 3 or 4 actual airframes, and were mainly used for target towing. However, I think we can all apply a little artistic licence and imagination here. 
      I have adjusted the aircraft a bit, ie I have added Geezers excellent RAF pilots to the crew positions, as Beagles tended to be flown in leather flying helmets rather than bone domes, I have also swapped the rear guns on the H-5's to reflect the changes done by the Chinese. Also I have upgraded the cockpits to utilise STARY's pit for the type, and enabled the RWR as well. This enables a viable bombing position and is a really nice upgrade to the aircraft. I have made the weapons for the Harbin H-5 Chinese, and included the weapons in this upload. This is an all inclusive upload, so you will need all 4 files to get the full experience !!! 
      The first 3 files are the actual aircraft, and the "ADDONS" file contains all the sounds, pilots, weapons, guns, decals So please make sure you do use that file as well !!! 
       
      All the usual shout outs to all the usual people, who keep this sim alive and kicking.
       
      AS ALWAYS......................ENJOY !!!

    13. P-2H "Neptune" Remod Pak

      P-2H "Neptune" Remod Pak                11/19/22
      -- For SF2, Any & All --
      This is a complete overhaul, plus numerous additions, to the P2V-7/P-2H Neptune package I released in 2011 (THAT long ago????!!!!). I was going over some things, and found numerous flaws and faults, and chose to fix them up.
      This package, due to numerous changes (listed in the Change Log), is designed to replace in total the early 2011 kit. If you have that original repackaging mod, you CAN just drop all of this one directly over it, or delete the aircraft and decals folders and start fresh. Your Choice (tm). Either way will work with no issues.
      Skin sets NOW included are:
      These 3 from the original 2011 pack--
      VP-18 "Flying Phantoms", NAS Jacksonville as seen during the Cuban Missile Crisis
      VP-65 "Tridents", NAS Point Magu, in the mid/late 1960s through the 1970s
      VP-69 "Totems", NAS Whidbey Island, in the 1970s
      plus ...
      320 Squadron, RNNAS (now included)
      The new skins are:
      JMSDF (2,3,4 & 51 Kokutais)-squadron insginia are randomly applied
      RAAF (10 & 11 Squadrons) - early Seaplane Gray/White and late Gull Gray/White skins
      French Aeronavale - Flotilles 21/23(ish)
      USN --
      VP-9 "Golden Eagles, NAS Barbers Point (Early Seaplane Gray/White)
      VP-18 "Flying Phantoms" NAS Jacksonville, NAS Rossevelt Roads (Early SG/W)
      Argentina -- Both original COAN skins NOW included!
      The only country's skins NOT included are the RCAF/CF by 1977Frenchie; his set for the CP-122 which is good enough to stand on it's own :) .
      All skins remain in their original bmp format. All new decals are included, "almost" all with historically matching BuNums-to-Modex numbers (wherever possible, and the information was discoverable). Decal randomization for ALL skins is TRUE. For those forces with paint scheme changes at specific years, the SF2 Date Switch (tm) is active.  This can be seen on the Loading Screen, skin/squadron drop-down menu as shown below:
      VP-9 Golden Eagles (>1962) (before 1962)
      or
      VP-69 Totems (<1964)  (after 1964)
      As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install.
      Happy Landings!

    15. [Fictional] Republic F-105D Thunderchief - West Germany

      Republic F-105D-5RE Thunderchief for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
      This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-105D to create a fictional West German Thunderchief in the 1962-1967 timeline. A USAF skin is also included for joint operations!

      BACKSTORY
      When Kennedy and Khrushchev first met at the Vienna Summit in June 1961 there was hope of better relations between the USA and the Soviet Union but in the weeks that followed these hopes faded when the Soviet Union proposed a treaty between Moscow and East Berlin leading to Kennedy countering with a clear statement that any treaty interfering with U.S. access rights in West Berlin would be regarded as an act of war. Upon his return to the USA, Kennedy's advisors told him that Khrushchev was still planning to sign a treaty with East Berlin and advocated an immediate military build-up in Europe including the deployment of the new Republic F-105D's of the 36th Tactical Fighter Wing and the 49th Tactical Fighter Wing with both wings having a primary tactical nuclear strike role.
      The erection of the Berlin Wall in August 1961 caused Kennedy more anxiety and among a raft of actions he authorised the immediate transfer of 36 F-105D's to the German Air Force with most aircraft coming from the 335th Tactical Fighter Squadron based at Eglin Air Force Base. Entering service in October 1961 with Jagdbombergeschwader 31 at Nörvenich the F-105D's replaced the Republic F-84F Thunderstreak and were operated until late 1967 when the Wing began to receive the Lockheed F-104G Starfighter.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-105D-5RE folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-105D-5RE folder into your Decals folder.
      That's it!
      The F-105D-5RE designation is used to prevent conflict with any other F-105D's you may have in your install.

      CREDITS
      As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
      And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
      Regards

    16. E-3D AEW1

      (TMF) E-3D SENTRY AEW.1 MOD by PeacePuma 
      Production aircraft for the RAF according to E-3C standard with CFM56 engines and British modifications designated Sentry AEW.1, there were 7 aircraft built. Modifications included the addition of a refueling probe alongside the existing boom AAR receptacle, CFM-56 engines, wingtip ESM pods, an improved maritime surveillance capability (MSC) offering marine scan processing (MSSP), JTIDS and Havequick 2 radios. 
      The last 2 E-3D Sentry AEW.1 were recently transferred from the RAF to the Chilean Air Force where they will continue to serve as the only platform of its kind in Latin America.
      This mod recreates the latest liveries of the 8 sqn RAF and Group 10 of the FACH

      You must know:
      This mod does not include a virtual cockpit (if you find a suitable one you can include it yourself)
      The engines are not animated as it is just a mod overlay for the false seat technique.
      You must not distribute without permission of its original authors!!!

    17. SF2 3W B-52D/F Upgrade/Mod Pack

      SF2 3W B-52D/F Upgrade/Mod Pack           9/28/2022
      -For SF2 (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended =MUST= have SF2:V installed!!)-
      This pack contains some mods to the stock 3rd Wire B-52D & the user made B-52F model "Stratofortress" as used by SAC during the 1950s through the 1980s. 
      There are actually 3 aircraft in this pack; due to "oddities" with some loadouts, I found this was easier to do:
      B-52D (57-64) nuclear strike
      B-52D (64-83) conventional, with "Big Belly" mods
      B-52F (58-78) conventional & Nukes. 
      The F, while retaining is nuke abilities, is mostly for conventional iron bombing after 1965. 
      Almost all markings are decals, with very few things painted on. All serial numbers are historically correct for the models depectied. BUT the D cereals should be considered 'generic' in nature as they represent no particular unit. The F serials, OTH, and the nose arts, are also correct, but not 'per squadron/wing'. It should be noted, the F gets all serials for the 89 aircraft produced. These are updated version of the originals issued in 2009. The D model gets all new decals, made for this mod.
      Decal randomization is true. Most skins remain in their 1stGen bmp format. New sounds, effects, pilot/gunner figures, weapons, and hangar & loading screens. Various effects are included for the nuclear weapons. The SF2 date switch is used for some skins, and also in the loadout ini with year-specific loadouts. These aircraft are equipped with an "optical" bombsight for you perverts that inisist on flying the Heavies <g>. In each aircraft's folder is an instructional jpg on "how to". There are also different loadouts for conventional or nuke, accessable through the games' mission editor.
      An example of the skin listing, from the 52F:
      2nd BW >1964
      7th BW (3960th BW) <1964
      the >1964 (less than or 64 and eariler) and <1964 (after 1964 ie: 65 start date). This should give the general idear.
      As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! As always, =PLEASE= read the "Notes" section for various thoughts and musing on this mod. There might even be valuable data/information for you to find! ALL original readmes have been included, when discoverable.
      Happy Landings!

    21. SF2 UH-1B Huey Slick & Hog Remod Pack

      SF2 UH-1B Huey Slick & Hog Remod Pack           9/14/2022
      -For SF2 (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)-
      This package contains remods of Pasko's 1stGen UH-1B helicopters, both the 'Slick' and 'Hog' gunships. These aircraft have been given unique name identifiers, as to not have the conflict with other mods of these same birds.
      I've collected just about all the 1stGen skins I could find for these, and created all new decals for them. Where possible, and discoverable, any serial/BuNums associated with a particular unit have been marked with a star (*). All serials ARE historically correct for the models depicted. In the case of the Canadian Hueys, no "(*) star" is used as the 10 serials ARE the 100% historically correct ones. This mod depicts several models of the UH-1B that are visually "pretty close" to each other. In truth, their minor differences won't effect gameplay in any way, shape or form. These are the UH-1B, UH-1C and UH-1E. Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins.
      UH-1B Slick ==
      US Army; early and late skins (dark or lighter OD)
      US Army Medevac: possibly representing 57th Medical Detachment
      USMC : VM0-2 "Cherry Deuce" (used both Slicks & Hogs)
      Canada: CF-118 3 skins covering their uses and from 1966 thru 1995 in their Search & Rescue and utility service.
      UH-1B/C/E Hog ==
      US Army; early and late skins (dark or lighter OD)
      US Navy: HAL-3 Seawolves
      USMC: HML-167 "Warriors, VMO-6 "Tomcats", 
      The sF2 'date switch' is fully active, so watch for it. Also included are (finally) damage textures, a destroyed model, all weapons, sounds, pilot figures and so forth. The "275rocket" is a stock 3W item, and therefore not included. FM is relatively untouched (ie: "as is"), so be aware. I'm sure further refinements of the FM are needed.
      On the aircraft selection drop-down menu, you'll see:
      UH-1B/C/E Huey "Slick" (P)
      UH-1B/C/E Huey "Hog" (P)
      Obviously, the "P" stands for Pasko.
      As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! Also =PLEASE= read the "Notes" section for information about Nation assignment for the American birds. Where possible, ALL original readmes have been included.
      Happy Landings!

    22. Samurai, Headhunters, Panthers and Foxes: PACAF F-16C/Ds in the 1990s pt 1

                                                    Samurai, Headhunters, Panthers and Foxes
                                                          PACAF F-16C/Ds in the 1990s pt 1
      PACAF started transitioning their F-16 fleet in the very early 1990s from the initial F-16A/B models to the more advanced C/D models. 8th Fighter Wing in Korea and 432d Fighter Wing in Japan received Block 30 versions while the 18th Fighter Squadron in Alaska recieved the Block 40s. These units participated in many of the actions the USAF was involved in; including Deny Flight detachments in USAFE's AOR and no fly zone operations over Iraq.

      Included
      F-16C and D,  Blocks 30 and 40
      various period specific weapons and pilots
      various ini edits to match the era
      new hangar and loading screens

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      NOTE: The D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models.the best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters. The load outs are the same so you will be
      able to load them out easy

      NOTE 1: The B and D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. the best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters rather than as a flight of their own. The loadouts are the same so you will be able to load the same weapons.
      *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
      NOTE 2: The F-16A Block 10s do not have corresponding B models at this time. The existing  Generation 1 models in my opinion need more work than is feasible to bring them to SF2 standards. There are entries in the numbers.lst for B models in the event a new Block 10 two seater becomes available.

                   Charlie Vipers on Guard     Part 3: Block 40/42s in the 90s

      This mod is the thrid of three to represent the various versions of the F-16C/D in US Air National Guard service during the 1990s. It was a busy time with potential conflicts in Korea and active operations ongoing over Iraq and the Balkans. This mod aims to show the
      units as they were at that time.
      Included
      Team Viper F-16C Block 40 and 42
      new F-16D Block 40 and 42 models
      various period specific weapons and pilots
      various ini edits to match the era

      ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
      SECOND NOTE: The 124th FS Skin in the Block 40 does only have one serial. This unit only had one Block 40 for a short time before it went to Europe. This serial (89-2032) was the same aircraft that CPT Scott O'Grady
      was shot down in June 1995.

    25. SF2 F-86H "Sabre Hog" Pack by Zur, Yakarov79 & Wrench

      SF2 F-86H "Sabre Hog" Pack by Zur, Yakarov79 & Wrench          8/29/2022
      -For SF2 (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)-
      The final culmination of a project that started 'way back in 2012 by Zur. Somewhere along the line, I recieved his max files and couldn't find anyone to finish the job. Fortunately for the SF community, Yakarov stepped up and took the challenge in the spring of this year (2022). That final result you see here!
      We present to you the North American F-86H Sabre; the last of the Hot Rods!!!
      You have a good selection of skins for various time frames in it's service life:
      USAF "Front Line" Units"
      50th FBW, USAFE (1953-57) Hahn AB, Germany
      10th FBS
      81st FBS
      417th FBS 
      533rd FDS, 83rd FBW (56-58) Seymour Johnson AFB NC
      A generic NMF skin to build other units from. It carries the TAC badge on the tail fin. The decal ini is easily edited.
      As the squadron markings are decals, there is one set of NMF skins used by all.
      Air National Guard:
      There are 2 versions of each of the following skins; one with "regular" markings presentation, the others with tail codes and Vietnam era serial presentations. The later VN style skin is as seen during the Pueblo Crisis when these ANG units were Federalized, and Based at Cannon AFB, NM from 5/68 through 12/68. All 4 skins are in SEA 3-tone camo.
      104th TFS, Maryland ANG
      138th TFS New York ANG
      While national markings are 'painted on', all others are decals. All serial numbers are 100% historicley correct for the units shown, with only 1 exception -- for the 104th, I couldn't find the full 26, so the last 4 are marked with a (+) plus sign; consider these 'generic'. Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins. The SF2 date switch is active on pretty much all the skins. For those squadrons listed in the game's SquadronList ini, their displayed name has been activated by my "Fake SqTail decal" (patent pending)
      To diferentiate =THIS= Sabre Hog from the other one (if you're able to obtain it), you'll see the following on the Aircraft selection drop-down listing:
      F-86H Sabre Hog (Y)
      The (Y) is for Yakarov, as he finished off the model.
      All other necessary parts are included; sounds, drop tanks (built into the LOD), pilot figure, hangar and loading screens. All weapons use stock 3W items.
      As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! 
      Happy Landings!
      Wrench
