This is a Fiat G.91R pack, taking the old SFP1 mods and make them SF2 compatible.
The pack includes all three G.91R versions 1,3 & 4, with all the neccessary weapons, pilots, guns & sounds. Five missions are also included. You need to install the NATO fighters campaign for these missions and  the excellent Ravenclaw_007 USAF & Luftwaffe Phantoms.
I tried to make as complete as possible, taking parts from the excellent G.91Y of ErikGen, such as the cockpit, sounds and the ejection seat.
I worked the skins (converted into jpg), the loadouts and of course the data.ini trying to do it as realistic as I could.

The real credits should go to
First and above all
- ErikGen
for make them possible.
Also
- Andriam "Kreelin" who made the original Flight Model of the G.91Rs for SPF1.
- Maurizio "NGHENGO" for the loading and hangar screens
- Spillone104 for the jet sound, photos and suggestions during beta testing of the initial G.91Y release
- Steve S for the invaluable infos about the cockpit of the initial G.91Y release
- Steve S, Soulfreak & Muesli for the amazing skins
- Ravenclaw_007 for the amazing weapons that made sense to rework the G.91R
- Viper63 for the excellent pilots
- bobrock, Soulfreak, Dave, Canadair, 76.IAP-Blackbird, Veltro2k and Nghengo as beta testers of the initial G.91Y release

Known issues
- The Attachment Position of the pylons are slighly wrong and should have been corrected. Hopefully in a later release.
- The cockpit of the G.91Y looks a bit odd, since the "Yankee" was twin-engined and I hope that someone would correct this.
- A late period ('80s) skin is missing for the Portoguese G.91R/4. I hope that someone would make a skin for it.

I had in mind to rework the G.91R for years, and finally now I managed to do it. Better late than ever.
I think most people know my love for small planes.
Remember this is a

SF2 NAA F2J Super Fury Pack (What If...) by Cocas & Co.            11/15/2017
= For SF2 (Full-4/5 Merged Reccomended) =
*Note: you =MUST= have, as stated above have, at minimum, a Full-4 merged install, as this mod makes use of many stock items, most importantly, the cockpits from the F-100 Super Sabre, F-8 Crusader. Therefore, it's =vitally= important that your game version(s) have access to these cockpits. However, alternate cockpits have supplied.*
The is the release of a new "What If..." Us Navy & Marines carrier-based fighter-bomber, the F2J "Super Fury" series. These aircraft has been tested in the SF2:NA, Full-5 environment, and is carrier capable/certified. The Standard Animation Keystrokes (tm) are used for the Caonpy (Shift/0) and wingfold (Shift/9). 
The F2J-3N is the only version exported, all others are USN/USMC only. 
This package includes 4 aircraft, with skins for their various users:
F2J-1
F2J-2
F2J-3N
F2J-4
 
The F2J-3N is an export version with skins/decals for the following users:
Royal Navy, FAA (Super Fury FAW.1, 893 NAS, various ships)
Royal Australian Navy (724 NAS, HMAS Melborne)
Royal Canadian Navy (VF-781, HMCS Bonaventure)*
*Note, there are 2 RCN skins, for pre- and post- unification of the Armed Forces (RCN ---> CAF). Also, due to game limitations, and the non-existence of "Royal Canadian Navy", the displayed Nation Name on the Loadout screen will read either "Royal Canadain Air Force" or "Canadian Armed Forces", depending on mission year chosen.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Weapons used are all stock 3W items. Skins are in jpg format, and damage textures are DDS. All other parts (pilots, seats) are supplied. Each skin has it own specific hangar screen.

SF2:I Vautour IIN Upgrade Pack              11/27/2017
= For SF2:I (or Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
Extensive modifications and upgrades to Veltro2k's S.O.4050 Vautour IIN Night/All Weather fighter-bomber as used by the IDF/AF. As seen on the CombatAce message boards, a major revamp adds 2 skins for ealy service in the IDF/AF.
This mod is designed to replace all other versions, in toto, of the Vautour IIN. This package contains the full, entire aircraft. 
Many modification have been performed, and all are listed in the "Notes" section of this readme. Loadouts have been adjusted, as have several other important statements in the data ini. All weapons used are stock 3W items, meaning they still use the UK bombs. End Users (tm) that wish to swap out to the various French bombs available in weapons packs may do. Be advised, I did =NOT= test with those, so their attachment positions -may- not match.
All new, historical "plane-in-squadron/serial numbers" for IDF usage. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. However, due to the low number of aircraft (6-7) the randomization (for some reason) seems not to be working.
Even though there isn't another Vautour IIN, I've added a statement to the "displayed name", so it now reads:
Vautour IIN (V2K)
This is just one of my usual "things", when more than one of the type exists.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please READ them ... after unzipping but before installling!
Good Hunting!

Bell D-188 (XF-109 / XF3L) “What if” Projects for Thirdwire Strike Fighter 2
 
I am big fan of Bell D-188 projects and when I saw XF-109 for SF2, I got inspired to expand XF-109.  I quote the statement from author of XF-109 mod for SF2:

"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." - Veltro2k, creator of XF-109 mods for SF1 / SF2.
 
I want to give Bell D-188 the opportunities to be flown by anyone virtually in simulation, no matter how flawed she may be.  I decided to work on both Bell D-188 (XF-109 for USAF) and D-188A (XF3L for US Navy).

I want to give my big thank to Veltro2K for creating XF-109 in the first place and Wrench for upgrading XF-109 mod for SF2, especially for sharing his updated files with me.  I, too, want to thank Combatace community, all of you are reasons why I worked on this project.
 
And at the same time, please keep in mind that there are several files that are from other mods, I am giving credits to all modders who created each materials that is used in Bell D-188 projects:
 

CREDITS:
 
Note: If it is required that I must take any of the files off from D-188 Projects, please let me know.  I will fix it ASAP and I intend to respect everyone’s work, especially giving credits to everyone who is involved with D-188 projects.
 
To my friends and Combatace community:
I truly thank everyone who got involved with D-188 projects, all of you are reasons why I am able to finish this project.  All of you rocks!
 
Bell XF-109 for SF2:
I give my big thank to Veltro2k for creating XF-109 (D-188) mod for SF1 and SF2.  ( http://combatace.com/files/file/13169-bell-xf-109/ ) He is the reason why I have the opportunities to work on mod projects for SF2, along with Combatace community.
 
Bell XF-109 updates:
I express my many thanks to Wrench for being very involved with D-188 projects.  He has helped me lot with the mod, especially sending me his updated data.ini files for XF-109. ( http://combatace.com/topic/74104-f-109-tweeks-pak-for-sf2/ )

Sound effects:
J85-GE.wav and J85-GE_AB.wav are directly from Macelena’s F-5E mods for SF2 ( http://combatace.com/files/file/10446-mirage-factory-f-5e-for-sf2/ ), I truly thank him for the sound files for J85-GE.  Note: J85-GE.wav and J85-GE_AB.wav are renamed from F5Engine.wav and F5AB.wav. The reason why I renamed the files is because there are so many sound files from different mods for SF2.  I hope that renamed files will make it easier to find in sound folder, just for in case, if anyone need to find them.
 
Afterburner effects:
Afterburner came from Mirage Factory F-8 Crusader Superpack for SF2.  ( http://combatace.com/files/file/10646-mirage-factory-f-8-crusader-super-pack/ ) and I truly thank to everyone who is involved creating F-8 Crusader Superpack for SF2.
 
To everyone who helped me:
 
Wrench à Thank you for the help with feedback involved, it helped lot with D-188 projects.
 
76.IAP-Blackbird à Thank you for your help with D-188 projects.
 
FalconC45 à Thank you so much for helping testing the mods.
 
 
Instruction:
 
1)    Extract D-188_Project and you will see 4 folders:
a.     Effects
b.     Sounds
c.     STOL Versions
d.     VSTOL Versions
(Note:  For F/A-109B (USMC), I highly recommend V/STOL version for taking off / landing on USMC ships.  There are still STOL version, for in case, if you still prefer to go with STOL method.
 
2)    Drop Effects and Sounds folder into main Strike Fighter 2 mod folder.
3)    There are two different versions of Bell D-188 (F-109s and F/A-109s):
a.     STOL version – All of aircraft have all 6 jet engines operation, especially when you are in STOL mode.  Because all engines from rotating engines and main fuselage engines are running at the same time, it is impossible to performance VTOL mode.
b.     V/STOL version – All of aircraft only have rotating engine operation.  I divided the thrusts from main fuselage engines and added them to rotating engines, to make up for main fuselage engines not having any thrusts.  (See “Flight model” for more information about flight model for VSTOL version) This enable you to be able to performance V/STOL and VTOL mode.  However, I removed afterburner effects from main fuselage engines (except for exhaust smokes).  It does not look right if you are in VTOL mode with afterburner running from fuselage.  But you still can re-enable afterburner for main fuselage engines with few steps.  Look at bottom of README for the instruction for re-enabling afterburner effects.
4)    For your information, XF-109s / F-109s are USAF version, XF3L / F/A-109s are US Navy and US Marine Corps version.
5)    Go into either STOL or VSTOL version of folders, drop Objects folder into main Strike Fighter 2 mod folder.
 
 
Information:
 
1)    XF-109 is based on D-188 project which is historically designed for US Air Force.  F-109s variants aircraft are fictional “What if” if US Air Force decided to accept XF-109.

EXTRA:
 
1)    Re-enable Afterburner effects for STOL version:
a.     For anyone who want to re-able afterburner effects for STOL version, open aircraft data.ini file and find this line of code:

// Engine - Fuselage ----------------------------------------------------------
 
b.     Under both [FusEngineLeft] and [FusEngineRight], you will see this code:

//AfterburnerEmitterName=F8AfterburnerEmitter
 
c.     Remove “//” from the code, so it looks like this:

AfterburnerEmitterName=F8AfterburnerEmitter
 
d.     Now you have working afterburner effects back in main fuselage engines, even when you are hovering in V/STOL version of aircraft.
 
 
Texture / Skins:
 
For now, D-188 (F-109s/F3Ls) projects do not have any additional skins for each aircraft, so if anyone have plans to create skins for D-188 projects, please let me know.  Any more skins for F-109s / F3Ls are always welcomed.
 
 
Flight model:
 
I am not expert with the flight mode.  If anyone can help with flight model, the helps are always welcomed for D-188 (F-109s/F3Ls) projects!  I did the basic flight model tweaking, in order, to make F-109s/F3L feel more realistic when flying them in SF2, theoretically.  The flight model is originally created by Veltro2K and updated by Wrench. Here are following features I tweaked in flight model:
 
1)    Slow roll rate = With two engines being mounted on each tip of wings, it means lot of weights.  And at the same time, with small wings from D-188s aircraft like F-104, in my opinion, it means slower roll rate.  However, as I stated, I am not an expert with flight model and any helps with flight model overhaul is always welcomed.
 
2)    Fixed sensitive rudder = The rudder was very sensitive so I reduced it lot, in order, for D-188s to have small movement when using rudder.
 
3)    Engines overhaul = I have done lot of works on each engine powers for each aircraft.  This is the math I used to convert lb of thrust to Netwon:

Note: XXX is any given numbers.

XXX lb (thrust) = XXX lb x 4.45 = XXX (thrust) Newton

And keep in mind that STOL / VSTOL version of each aircraft engine have different thrusts.  STOL have accuracy thrusts in newton for each six engine while VSTOL have increased thrusts for four engines.

Here are example:

XF-109 (STOL version)

Engine #1: 2,400 LB (DRY)        3,600 LB (AB)
Engine #2: 2,400 LB (DRY)        3,600 LB (AB)
Engine #3: 2,400 LB (DRY)        3,600 LB (AB)
Engine #4: 2,400 LB (DRY)        3,600 LB (AB)
Engine #5: 2,400 LB (DRY)        3,600 LB (AB)
Engine #6: 2,400 LB (DRY)        3,600 LB (AB)

XF-109 (V/STOL version)

Note:  Because Engine #5 / #6 which is main fuselage engine having no thrusts, I divided them and moved to engine #1 to engine #2.

Engine #5 + engine #6 = Total engine thrust divided by four, then add them to each engine.

Engine #5: 2,400 LB (DRY)        3,600 LB (AB)
Engine #6: 2,400 LB (DRY)        3,600 LB (AB)

Total Engine thrust: 4,800 LB (DRY)   7,200 (AB) / 4 = 1,200 LB (DRY)   1,800 (AB)

Engine #1: 2,400 LB (DRY)        3,600 LB (AB) + 1,200 LB (DRY)   1,800 (AB)
Engine #2: 2,400 LB (DRY)        3,600 LB (AB) + 1,200 LB (DRY)   1,800 (AB)
Engine #3: 2,400 LB (DRY)        3,600 LB (AB) + 1,200 LB (DRY)   1,800 (AB)
Engine #4: 2,400 LB (DRY)        3,600 LB (AB) + 1,200 LB (DRY)   1,800 (AB)

Result:
Note: Engine #1 to #4 is rotating engines while Engine #5 to #6 is main fuselage engines.

Engine #1: 3,600 LB (DRY)        5,400 LB (AB)
Engine #2: 3,600 LB (DRY)        5,400 LB (AB)
Engine #3: 3,600 LB (DRY)        5,400 LB (AB)
Engine #4: 3,600 LB (DRY)        5,400 LB (AB)
Engine #5: 0 LB (DRY)  0 LB (AB)
Engine #6: 0 LB (DRY)  0 LB (AB)

V/STOL version have fuselage engines thrust moved to each rotating engines, to make up for having no thrusts in fuselage engines.

Here is the date about engines that each aircraft uses:

In 1956 Sea Venoms, alongside RAF Venoms, took part in the Suez War which began on 31 October. They were from Nos. 809, 892, 893 Naval Air Squadrons
based on the light fleet carrier HMS Albion and fleet carrier HMS Eagle.
The Anglo-French invasion, codenamed Operation Musketeer, took place in response to the nationalisation of the Suez Canal by Egypt's leader, General Nasser.
The air war began on the 31 October 1956 signalling the beginning of the Suez War. The Sea Venoms launched many sorties, bombing a variety of targets in Egypt in the process.
By 1959, the Sea Venom began to be replaced in Royal Navy service by the de Havilland Sea Vixen, an aircraft that also had the distinctive twin-boom tail.
The Sea Venom would be withdrawn from frontline service soon afterwards. The type continued to fly with second line FAA units until the last were withdrawn in 1970

                              E-8A/C Joint STARS
This mod builds upon the E-8C found in the original ODS campaign and corrects for an E-8A as used in Desert Storm.
    Included
E-8A with skins for Desert Storm, Testing (92-95), and Bosnia
E-8C with skins for the 93d ACW and the 116th ACW Georgia Air National Guard
    Installation
unzip, cut/copy and paste to mod folder. allow overwrite (should only apply to ODS mod folders), although for best results remove the old E-8C files from aircraft and decals.
    Credits
the original model and skin was created by The Mirage Factory, based on the 707 model by Bpao
C-130 pit by dels
Skin adjustments, tga and ini work by daddyairplanes
original moddable game by TK
    Known Issues
dels C-130 pit is used to make the aircraft player flyable. this pit is not very suited to the 707 airframe (alot of extra frame for a 707), but works for its purpose. The aircraft was not originally intended to be player flyable (airborne command and control not being a player mission set) and is best used as eye candy. However, i always put a pit in so i can see how my work progressed, and leave it for you guys to use too.
I hope you enjoy this mod

This is the conversion of the old SF1 model in SF2 + new skins
Original files is here
https://combatace.com/files/file/14306-su-30mk2-for-sf1-woe/
This package presents the Su-30 Soviet times and the Su-30 MK (Modified Commercial) modern by Irkut Avia Plant .
============
Installation:
IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED THIS MY PACK BEFORE version 1.0.0 : Delete "Su-30" and "SU-30MK" folders at "Objects\Aircraft\" in your mod folder.
Extract file "SF2_Su-30_Irkut_ST_v1.0.1.7z" at any directory
Move the files to the appropriate locations in your mod folder as usual.
if you like, unpack "Additional_Skins_(these_skins_moved_to_SU-30MK2_KnAAZ_Pack).7z" and move skins to just installed Su-30 aircraft, but you need'nt to do it if you want to use my Su-30 Part II by KnAAZ air Plant. I moved these skins to that pack.  It is easier for me to update packs separately. In real Su-30 are produced at two different factories, on "IRKUT" (Irkutsk Aviation Plant) they rebuild old Su-27 UB\PU to Su-30KN and KM (both without canards) and build new Su-30SM with canards. I do not do skins for SM modifications, cuz i see that decision with "fake pilot canards" is not elegant, and i have no 3Ds MAX to do something by myself. In this pack there are skins only for KN and KM modifications (without canards) . Second Plant is KnAAZ ( based in Komsomolsk on Amur) produses all other modifications (all without canards) for export.
It is better to overwrite weapons folder. I 've made some small changes (fixed the years of using) in inies in some of them.
============
I tried to make the skins as accurate as possible. But some details missed because of the limitations of the model. i cant find the way to do "no step" dashes on Ukrainian skin, it places wrong way, some decals can't de placed right etc. If you want to correct this, do not stop yourself. If you like my files, fix, redraw, repack, share, do what you need.
NEW SKINS:
Russian after 2004
Russian Gray Fully - overhauled Su-27UB to Su-30 standards
Soviet Early
Soviet Shabby - Standard Soviet Weathered
UB Ukraine 91
UB Ukraine 94-99
UB Ukraine 99
UB Ukraine Modern
UB Ukraine Shabby - Standard Soviet Weathered with Ukrainian Ins

Aubergine (What if skin)
China Dark Gray
China Gray
Omonovskiy 2002 (Known as 'Winter' at NATO countries)

Russian Forest (Splinter) 1994
Russian Standard - Serial
 

OLD SKINS
none

You will get the following skins in this package :
- Original Argentina (2 of them) - Comes from the original pack

- Canadian Coast Guard
- Royal Canadian Air Force (71-72, 75-80, 1999 and 2018 skins)

Gloster Meteor T.7
second improved version for SF2.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) 
Install:
If you are here which means that you like old jets, and for sure you downloaded the previous pack already. 
You should have proper squadronlist.ini from the previous pack by paulopanz.
Fuel tanks- not to be afraid. Overwrite or just leave it. 100 gal tank is original TW tank. You can overwrite or just simply do not copy.
175 gal tank also.
Tanks are just ini files. Mod uses tanks that are part of aircraft lod.
This is highly modified Veltro2k model uploaded on CA somewhere in 2016 by paulopanz.
Some time ago few guys decided (because they have a chance to do so) to rework this pretty aircraft. So, first of all, thank you Veltro2k.
Although.
There is just very few original parts of an old model. Most of it was remodeled. Added bits here and there.
We changed mapping and we made new skins...and a lot of new stuff. You will see.
Of course, you could expect more skins. And if you are expecting more skins -  you will have to do it on your own. But templates are available. 
All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize to needed resolution.  better to downsize than rescale to higher res.
For sure Israeli Meteor will be uploaded someday soon. WIP.

Turkey is one of the very first countries to receive the F-104Gs within the MAP program. As a preparation for the new aircraft the 144th Squadron was organised at the 4th AB in Mürted-Ankara. The first 15 aircraft arrived on May 10th,1963 by sea and they were deployed at the newly founded squadron in July. In July 1963 two TF-104gs arrived and they were also assigned to the same squadron. This was followed by Canadair produced 18 F-104Gs and 2 TF-104Gs. The shipment continued in 1965 with 5 more Canadair built F-104Gs. All of these planes were deployed at the 144th Squadron. In 1968 3 pcs F-104G and 1 pc TF-104G were received from USAF.
The TuAF faced with the US embargo after the Cyprus peace-keeping Operation ordered a batch of 18 F-104S from Italy. 6 of the planes were delivered within the same year and the remainder in 1975 on the basis of the planes per month. In 1975 the purchase was risen to 40 planes all which were received within 1976.
The CF-104s, F-104Gs, TF-104Gs and the RF-104Gs which were strated being replaced by more modern aircraft were despatched to Turkey. This operation included 17 pcs F-104Gs from Belgium, 43 pcs F-104Gs & 12 pcs TF-104Gs from Holland, 12 pcs RF-104G and one TF-104G from Norway and 165 pcs F-104Gs and 36 pcs TF-104Gs from Germany. Canada also promised to hand over the CF-104s after being replaced by the F-18A/Bs. In 1986 44 pcs CF-104G & 6 pcs CF-104D were received. These planes were allocated to the 181st and to the 182nd Squadrons.
 Within the elapsing time the TuAF F-104Gs started aging and they were withdrawn from active duty one by one. Some were even used as spare parts for those which were still in active duty. The last ones were the CF-104s of the 182nd Squadron when replaced by F-16C/Ds in 1996.

  ************************ONLY FOR SFP2 INSTALL****************************
 - First, download the "Meteors_Over_Israel" bunch from here to get the LODs:
  
  https://combatace.com/files/file/16825-meteors-over-israel-sf2/
 - Once downloaded, just install it as the Readme says.
 - To install this RAF Meteor, drop the "Meteor_NF13(RAF)" to the main "Aircraft" game folder. After that, copy/paste the LODs from "Meteors_Over_Israel" NF.13 to  "Meteor_NF13(RAF)" directory.
 - Inside the skin file there is another one with some blank skins for FREE use. 
 - The cockpit used many aircraft parts mixed with TW cockpit by the "OpenCockpit=TRUE" method. I did some tweak over Jarek originals to make it more
 realistic.
 - The skin depicts the Meteor NF.13 from RAF 39 Squadron during the "Suez Crisis".
 Thanks to Jarek Hereda for everything.
