Add-On Aircraft

This mod has been tested with Strike Fighters 2 Full 5+2 merged install; it should work with individual installations of SF2NA. The A-6 Superpack 1.51 or later is required in order to use the EA-6B Superpack.
 
Since the EA-6B Prowler is a modification to the A-6 Intruder airframe, the ThirdWire (3W) EA-6B model uses many of the same textures as the A-6. Therefore, creating an EA-6B Prowler add-on to the A-6 Superpack was a logical progression. I look forward to sharing the increased system fidelity and high resolution skins in this Superpack to enhance your SF2 experience.
 
What the Superpack Does
This package is designed to enhance the default 3W EA-6B model and skins, expanding the prowler to multiple variants over time and providing additional skins and squadrons for each. Among the things added are:

High resolution (2048x2048) skins for both classic gull grey and tactical grey schemes
Additional variants of the existing skins, including differently colored radomes, tails, and low visibility details
Six different EA-6B variants (standard EA-6B, EXCAP, ICAP I, ICAP II Blk 82, ICAP II Blk 86/89, and ICAP III) with varying skins and systems.
Enhanced aircraft profiles for the loadout screens.
Additional decals, to include custom designed VAQ/VMAQ squadron tail logos and historically accurate BuNos on the tails.
Entries, logos, and markings for all USN and USMC EA-6B Prowler squadrons (including reserve squadrons) as part of the A-6 Superpack (required)
Enhanced hangar screens and loadscreens for each A-6 variant
Custom canopy markings and wing tanks for some squadrons
Added landing lights, pylon lights, and ventral anti-collision lights to models and skins
Further LOD enhancement, to include proper relative placement of Pilot/ECMOs, upgraded ejection seats, and the use of USN pilot LODs.
Enhancement of Avionics and Data files for each variant, with particular emphasis on AN/ALQ-99 Jammer frequencies and Defensive ECM (DECM) capability.

Because this mod uses and supersedes the 3W default EA-6B, the 3W EA-6B has been renamed EA-6B Prowler ICAP I. It is actually the third EA-6B of six variants included in the package, and has had its jamming capability and frequency coverage reduced to a more realistic level.
 
What the Superpack Doesn't Do
This mod enhances default aircraft. If you don't have the default EA-6B LOD (available in SF2NA), or if you prefer to use a different set of EA-6B LODs, then this mod is of limited value to you.
Don't expect specific organizational insignia or logo placement. I tried to be historically accurate, but since these are skins designed to be compatible with all A-6 squadrons, organizationally specific markings cannot be supported. Likewise, squadron insignia change over time, and the limitation of using the default decals prevents this evolution. Variation between organizations is best represented by subtle differences between skins assigned to the same A-6 variant (e.g. the EA-6B with the white nose/tail may look slightly different than the one with the tan nose/white tail).
Additionally, the Superpack is unfortunately not flyable without further modification. You will need to provide your own cockpit in order to enable player use of the A-6. Two notable options are extracting the A-6 cockpit from Wings over Vietnam, or by purchasing RAZBAM's excellent EA-6 pack for Strike Fighters (recommended). Likewise, plenty of existing SF1 A-6 mods have cockpits that are compatible with this pack. Regardless of which selection you prefer, any cockpit you use for the A-6 Superpack will be compatible with the EA-6B Superpack as well.
Finally, the Superpack does not in any way change what missions are flyable by the game engine. There is no specific SAM Suppression mission in SF2, and the Prowler is unsuitable for cluster bomb delivery that is often part of SF2 SEAD missions (ICAP I and later variants don’t even have bombsights!). Hence, the only primary mission available to the Prowler is the role of Escort Jammer, which is not a player-flyable mission at the time of this writing. This means that while you may be able to fly the Prowler, you will be limited to Reconnaissance missions.
 
Manual Installation
Simply copy the contents of this folder to your SF2 “mod” folder.
The EA-6B Superpack requires that the A-6 Superpack already be installed, and SF2NA must be present in order to use the 3W EA-6B model.
 
The EA-6B Variants
EA-6B Standard
This is the original EA-6B that flew near the end of the Vietnam War. The Standard EA-6B/ALQ-99 could cover frequency bands 1/2, 4, and part of 7.
 
EA-6B EXCAP
This is the first upgrade of the EA-6B that provided coverage for additional frequency bands. Frequency bands covered by the ALQ-99A through ALQ-99C are 1/2, 4, 5/6,7(partial), and 8/9.
 
EA-6B ICAP I
This is the EA-6B variant on which the 3W model is based. As such, this variant has retained the EA-6B folder name, even though it is not the first variant in the series.
The ICAP was the first major upgrade to the EA-6B line, and was also the first model used by the U.S. Marine Corps (all previous versions were exclusive to the U.S. Navy).
The ICAP-I and the corresponding ALQ-99D introduced digital receivers and integrated computer controlled jamming systems, and reapportioned the Electronic Countermeasure Officer (ECMO) workload so that ECMOs 2 and 3 (the "kids in back") were responsible for tactical jamming. The work-leveling and digital integration prompted the increase in Jamming Strength to 90. The ALQ-99D covers bands 1/2, 4, 5/6, 7 (partial), 8, and 9/10.
 
EA-6B ICAP II Block 82
The ICAP II series of upgrades was a major update for the EA-6B line, incorporating expanded frequency coverage as well as improved avionics and ALQ-99 processing ability. The biggest jump in capability for the ICAP II was the universal exciter which covered bands 1-9, thereby obsolescing the dedication of individual pods to bands. Additionally, band 7 was now completely covered. The increase in Jammer Strength is justified by the further reduction of ECMO workload by the TEAMS system, which significantly improves response time against known/planned threats. The ICAP II is also notable as being the first Prowler to carry an offensive weapon, as it is capable of carrying the AGM-88 HARM.
 
EA-6B ICAP II Block 86/89
The ICAP-II Block 86/89 ALQ-99F covers the 3 band, now providing coverage over the entire threat spectrum. This version of the ALQ-99F also provides 1kW per GHz, and most closely models the frequency coverage and jamming strength that was provided in the original 3W EA-6B.
 
EA-6B ICAP III
Added mostly for completeness, the major upgrades in the ICAP III were more avionics oriented and less about the ALQ-99. However, the ALQ-99 exciter was upgraded to allow faster response in jamming a particular threat frequency.

Now compatible with recently released CF-5A (Was originally made for NF-5A only)
The Squad:The 108th Tactical Fighter Squadron, nicknamed Wardog, was intially a squadron composed primarily of trainees, led by Capt. Jack Bartlett (callsign Heartbreak One), and two other veteran combat pilots
 
The F-5 Pilot:
Bartlett, although a very talented pilot, has had a notorious history of being unable to comply with orders given, opting instead to follow his conscience. Bartlett cares for all the trainees under his command. "Heartbreak One" came by his callsign after losing love interest Major Nastasya Vasilievna Obertas sometime before Operation Battle-Axe during the 1995 Belkan War. Bartlett was never promoted beyond Captain in the 15 years since the end of the Belkan War due to his repeated insubordination, as he stated himself: "I don't know why they even bother reprimanding me anymore. I know I'm gonna be stuck at captain forever."

The Squad:The Varcolac Squadron (formerly known as Rigel Squadron) was an ace squadron led by fighter pilot Milosz Sulejmani, which is part of the Martinez Security PMC but later on defected to the Valahia
 
The MiG-31 Pilot:
Faryd Gaviria is the third pilot of the Martinez Security renegade Rigel Squadron. Like his wingmates, he deserted to the terrorist group Valahia, following his flight leader, Milosz Sulejmani. He and the rest of Varcolac Squadron fought Antares Squadron on several occasions throughout the Valahian Crisis. His final confrontation with Antares occured in the skies above the San Franciso Bay as a part the Golden Axe Plan's Private Army. Despite being equipped with the extremely advance GAF-1 Varcolac, he and his wingmates were shot down by Antares and subsequently, killed.

Now works with "M" version
The Squad: The 13th Night Fighter Air Division (NFAD) of the Belkan Air Force's the 6th Tactical Fighter Squadron "Schwarze"(black) had first, officially, seen combat in the Belkan War. During the war, the entire squadron gained a reputation of fear among both the Belkan Military and the Allied Forces of Osea, Ustio and Sapin. The 6th TFS was commonly assigned to missions aimed at intercepting Belkan aircraft attempting to defect and the destruction of Belkan Forces attempting to leave the battlefield. Like all units of the 13th NFAD, the 6th TFS was never officially tried by Belka because of their actions, since they had completely unrestricted orders to engage both enemy and allied forces at will. On May 28th, the 6th Tactical Fighter Squadron was dispatched to assassinate a top ranking Ace of the Belkan Air Force, attempting to defect to the Osea / Osean Federation. This pilot was named Wolfgang Buchner, but was also known as
 
Huckebein the Raven". His orders were to sortie towards an undisclosed Belkan City (presumed to be a South Belkan city) and drop a nuclear weapon on it. Instead, the pilot attempted to flee the country.
 
As the Schwarze Squadron, lead by Dominic Zubov, pursued Wolfgang, the defecting Ace flew towards Airspace B7R "The Round Table". At that time, the allied "Operation: Battle-Axe" was under way. The 6th Tactical Fighter Squadron lost Huckebein the Raven, among the confusion of the Operation Battle-Axe, but, instead engaged the 66th AFU Galm of the Ustian Air Force 6th Air Division. All members of the Schwarze Squadron were shot down during their engagement with the 66th AFU 'Galm Team'. With the end of the Belkan War, all members fled the country, changed their identities or seemed to disappear.

Had it been built, the Bell D-188A project would have been one of the most unorthodox aircraft to fly, and certainly the most unusual in the US Air Force inventory. In 1955, Bell Aircraft was requested by both the USAF and the US Navy to develop a VTOL/STOVL supersonic, all-weather fighter-bomber and defence interceptor. The project was highly ambitious and was designed to fulfill a multitude of roles for two different services and, as a result – based on the poor record of other cooperative Air Force/Navy aircraft projects – it is highly dubious as to its success.[citation needed] The aircraft was designated the Model 2000, and was offered in two different versions – the D-188 for the Navy and the D-188A for the Air Force. Bell had rather optimistically called the Navy version the XF3L-1 and the Air Force version the XF-109, although neither of these designations were official.[citation needed] On 5 December 1960, Bell publicly showed off the design as the XF-109 – the Air Force version, as the Navy had lost interest the year earlier, however in the spring of 1961, the US Air Force canceled the program and no examples were built.

The Squad:The Varcolac Squadron (formerly known as Rigel Squadron) was an ace squadron led by fighter pilot Milosz Sulejmani, which is part of the Martinez Security PMC but later on defected to the Valahia
 
The A-10 Pilot:
'Daniel Oruma' was part of the prominent squadron, Varcolac Squadron. Like his squadron mates, he followed Rigel Squadron flight leader Milosz Sulejmani during his desertion to the insurgent group Valahia and later joined the Golden Axe Plan Private Army after the collapse of the Valahia. He, along with the rest of Varcolac Squadron, were killed after being shot down by Antares Squadron.

Dhimari Air Force F-4F Phantom II For SF2 Full 5-merged(or at minimum SF2 and SF2:E)
 
Backstory:
Just before the start of Desert Fury 2 in 1981,extremists in Dhimar tried to bring about a political as well as a religious revolution.The revolution was easily put down due to a lack of support by the local population.However,the idea of the revolution had indoctrinated Dhimari military leaders and senior officers as they would have greater freedom than they could ever imagine,if the revolution had succeeded.Immediately after the end of Operation Desert Fury 2,the Dhimari Monarch ordered a reshuffling of his military's command structure.However,the problem was found to be so widespread that this did not yield any significant results.This was proven just two months later when three high ranking generals were found to be plotting a coup to overthrow the Monarch and his government.The United States,Dhimars largest supplier of military hardware,was now facing a crisis.The United States could go with Two options:
A)Assassination and/or abduction of all radical military as well as civilian elements.This option would cause a political fallout and the revolution,could begin again and reach it's conclusion,as a possible consequence.
B)Control all military Aid to Dhimar and deploy US ARMY Psychological operations elements to change the mindset of ther Populace.This option,though a less effective one could control the situation in the long run.
 
President Ronald Reagen and his administration were divided on which option to take.However,Ronald Reagen gave the order to hold any decision until his direct permission was given.
 
September,18,1983 11:20am:
Paran's independence as well as National day.On this day the local populace were to be treated to a parade and an aerial display by the Parani Air Force's Display team made up of MirageIIIP aircraft left over from the war.Exactly 11 minutes after take off,the flight of mirages went into formation to perform 'The Piercing Heart'.As the aircraft were pulling down,three of them were struck by AIM-7F Sparrow Radar Guided Missles fired at long range by Dhimari F-4E and F-4D aircraft.This caused a chain reaction of events.The destroyed aircraft collided with other aircraft in the formation,causing more crashes and some of the debris fell on the ground parade.The total death toll numbered 70(13 pilots,10 civilians and 47 Troops involved in the parade).
This was the biggest violation of peace after the war.The paranis,still suffering from the after effects of the war were unable to retaliate.For them,this was a day of Tragedy and sorrow.A month of mourning for the Paranis was announced by their government.Sadly,they also were unable to recover the remains of one of their pilots whose Mirages had fallen near the Dhimar-Paran Border and were now in possession of the Dhimari Army.
 
September,18,1983 12:00am:
After the news of the attack had gone worldwide,the Reagen administration had made up it's mind and had decided on plan A.However,Ronald Reagen,knowing that such action could accelerate to a full scale war, gave the order to deploy the US Army's 101st and the Rangers to Dhimar to take control of all their main Airbases.This force would be further assisted by a US Marines MEU(Marine Expeditionary Unit) for their infiltration into Dhimar.
 
September,18,1983 12:30am:
Elements of the US Army's Rangers and the Marines,stationed in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia were ready to leave for the States.Suddenly,they were given the drill command and after everything was ready,were briefed on their new assignment.
 
September,18,1983 12:45am:
The Marines were to enter Dhimar through the coast while the 101st was to be deployed by 3 MC-130P cargo/transport Aircraft.The invasion was a success with only 12 casualties,a Dhimari tank team which refused to surrender.The Monarch,whose palace had been under siege for the past 5 hours was now free.On his command,the traitors were executed,publicly.
 
The United States now initiated a plan to control Dhimar's military aid.The US Army set up a base where a Psyops Battalion was stationed.US pilots were flown to Dhimar from where they flew most of the Dhimari Phantoms to the AMARC at Davis Monthan-Airforce Base in Arizona.These Phantoms would be assigned to Air National Guard Squadrons while a select few were to be Converted to The advanced F-4GE Wild Weasel.
Now,the United States needed a new aircraft to allow Dhimar air defence capabilities only inside it's own borders.Since Dhimar was under sanction by many European nations,it could not get a new aircraft type.Germany,which was in the process of replacing her fleet of Phantoms with the Tornado F3 offered to donate two squadrons of stripped watered down F-4Fs.These Phantoms could only be armed with short range AIM-9 sidewinder missiles and a single ALQ-101 ECM pod.This aircraft was the ideal replacement to keep Dhimar under control and to prevent any other violations such as the one on 18 September 1983.
The problem of the rogue Dhimari military may be over but,the mindset of the populace is still at large.

PAF F-7P Skybolt Interceptor For SF2
 
For SF2,Full-5 merged or at Minimum SF2E and SF2V(Required for Cockpit and HUD)
 
Overview:
J-7MP
After nearly two years use of the F-7M, Pakistani Air Force (PAF) returned the 20 F-7M aircraft to China in the late 1980s with recommendations for 24 upgrades, including replacing the original GEC-Marconi Type 226 Skyranger radar with the Italian FIAR Grifo-7 radar, and AIM-9 Sidewinder capability.
The Italian radar weighs 55 kg, had a slot antenna planar array, and had a range greater than 50 km, while the British radar only weighs 42 kg, with a parabolic antenna, but only had range of 15 km. Both radars have a mean time between failure rate of 200 hours. J-7MP:is the design specially tailored to Pakistani requirements.
J-7PG
Alternative to J-7MG, similar to the J-7MG except with Italian FIAR Grifo-MG radar, which further increased the sector of scan to +/- 30 degrees from the +/- 20 degrees of Grifo-Mk-II on F-7P. The Grifo-MG radar has better ECCM, look-down and shoot-down capabilities than its predecessor Grifo-Mk-II, while the weight remained the same. The number of targets can be tracked simultaneously is increased from the original 4 of the Grifo-Mk-II to a total of 8 of the Grifo-MG. Pakistan and Bangladesh evaluated the aircraft, and evolved to F-7PG.
 
The Mod:
 
This mod represents the F-7P Skybolt in service with the PAF from the late Eighties.This version of the aircraft is not to be confused with the newer F-7PG with it's Double Delta Cranked wing profile.The base model used is the stock TW Mig-21 F-13 as it is exactly like the F-7P.All the texturing was done using Gimp2.6.The Skins were made by modifying the stock grey skin and include textures for:
 
CCS Standard
CCS Grey(Kill Markings)
No.20 Squadron
No.17 Squadron
No.2 Squadron Lo-Viz
 
The Weapons loadout is completely revamped to include western munitions.The Aircraft still however,uses the stock fuel tanks.This F-7P is strictly made to be used for Air Defence.But,Ground munitions are still included for pilots who like to bomb.
 
Installation:
After Unzipping F-7P V1.0,place all the contents of folder inside your objects folder located in your SF2 mod folder.When asked to overwrite,click yes.
Note:If you do not know anything about the mod folder,the immediately stop the installation,go to the COmbatACE Forums,Go to the Strike Fighters 2 Knowledge Base and take a look at the thread explaining the Strike Fighters 2 mod folder mechanism.
 
If you are modifying my textures for your own mod,then you have my permission as long as I(Lazarus1177) am acknowledged as the original Author.

Convair Model 201 for Strike Fighters 2
 
----------------------------------------------
What this is :
 
This is the CTOL version of Convair's Model 200 VSTOL entry for the Sea Control Ship fighter competition of the early 70's. It also reappeared later as GD Model 218 during the VFAX competition which ultimately ended up as the F-18.
 
There are quite a number of artist's impressions and 3-view floating around, of which most ones show a more pointy delta planform and underwing Sidewinders. That would be the earlier iterations, which by 1975 or so would have evolved into what you see here.
 
The original documentation only mentions 2 AIM-9 + 2 AIM-7 but I added 2 underwing and a centerline station because it makes the plane a bit more fun to use and isn't totally implausible.
 
----------------------------------------------
More Stuff:
 
It uses sounds from SF2E so your mileage may vary :o
 
----------------------------------------------
Known Issues:
 
None, really.

Seafire MkIII (Modified), No.1 Sqn, Irish Air Corps, 1947 - 1955
 
Completely new version.
 
The Irish Air Corps bought 12 Seafires in 1947; these were denavalised by removing the 'hook' and at least in most cases, locking the wing-fold joints. They were numbered from 146 to 157. There is still considerable debate among the Irish aviation historians as to the precise colour used; they were clearly painted overall with a greenish-grey shade, possibly MAP Light Slate Grey. No detailled information is available.
 
I have included the serials for the 6 Spitfire T.MkIX aircraft also acquired by the Irish Air Corps, in order to make up a suitable minimum number of decals. These go from 158 to 163.
 
For use ONLY with SF2 including the Israel Expansion Pack. This will NOT work if you do not have the stock TW Spitfires installed and working.

Spitfire MkVb, VCS-7, US Navy, 5th - 26th June 1944.
 
Because of the high vulnerability of the SOC and OS2U spotter aircraft normally carried on board US Navy cruisers and battleships, it was felt that naval artillery spotters during the landings in Normandy would need aircraft better able to defend themselves against German fighters. As a result, 17 pilots were drawn from the cruisers CA 31 Augusta, CA 37 Tuscaloosa, CA 71 Quincy and the battleships BB 33 Arkansas, BB 35 Texas and BB 36 Nevada; they were affected to the Air Spotting Pool, based at RNAS Lee-on-Solent, along with two RAF Spitfire squadrons, Nos. 26 and 63, and four FAA Seafire squadrons, Nos.808, 885, 886 and 897.
 
VCS-7 became operational on 28th May 1944.
 
During operations, all aircraft were pooled, which meant that in fact, any pilot from any of the seven Spitfire/Seafire units could find himself flying any Spitfire or Seafire available, regardless of any theoretical 'ownership'. As a rule, aircraft operated in pairs, one spotting, the other covering.
 
After three weeks of highly successful operations, VCS-7 was stood down on 26th June as the fighting moved beyond the range of the ships' guns.
 
As they were on temporary loan from the RAF, all the aircraft used by VCS-7 retained their RAF markings.
 
For use ONLY with SF2 including the Israel Expansion Pack. This will NOT work if you do not have the stock TW Spitfires installed and working.

Seafire MkIII, French Navy, Carrier 'Arromanches,' 1948
 
 
For use ONLY with SF2 including the Israel Expansion Pack. This will NOT work if you do not have the stock TW Spitfires installed and working.

Seafire MkIII, No.887 Naval Air Squadron Fleet Air Arm, HMS Indefatigable, Okinawa, April 1945 - Japanese Coast, August 1945.
 
It is a little known fact that aircraft of the Royal Navy British Pacific Fleet fought at Okinawa and participated in the final air attacks on the Japanese mainland.
 
All serial numbers included in this package correspond to Seafire MkIII aircraft which served with 887 NAS at some point between late 1944 and the end of the War. Where possible, known individual numbers have been allocated to the correct aircraft. These are marked with an asterisk in the loadout menu.
 
Alternative lower resolution (1024x1024) skin files are included.

I want to thank 'Crusader' for trying to tweak the cockpit by YEYEYE, and for approving the use of the .LODs.
 
The cockpit's main Attitude Inidicator is not model appropriately so the standby is the main ADI.
I have lock the main ADI to only capable of 'yaw'
 
If you want to use the default MF cockpit, just change the name on the MF's cockpit.ini and avionic.ini to correspond with the aircraft's name on file and copy and past to the main files alone with the MF cockpit folder.

Mikoyan Gurevych MiG-29EE Força Aerea Portuguesa for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
 
I modded the MiG-29 from The Mirage Factory to make it look like a fictional fighter for the portuguese air force.
 
 
BACKGROUND
The cooperation with IAI in developing the MiG-29I Shu'Al demonstrated the Mikoyan Gurevych OKB the possiblities and rentability of exporting the plane to the West with some modifications.
 
As a modern and at the same time relatively cheap fighter compared to other western planes, the MiG-29EE was the result of the adaptation of the plane to the needs of the western air forces. The abbreviation EE stands for 'Europe Export'. Since the cold war was over and the "enemy" was no longer existing, Mikoyan Gurevych OKB had no problems in offering one of the best planes of the former Soviet Union to european countries.
 
Portugal, whose military still suffered from budget restrictions, decided to replace the expensive F-16 with the more affordable MiG-29EE and equipped the 201st Squadron with this type while the 301st had to wait to replace the Dragao with the MiG-29.
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. Drop the folders into your MODS Folder. If asked to overwrite, click yes.
 
 
CREDITS
 
All credit belongs to ALL the members of The Mirage Factory for their fantastic work they did with this model.
