Add-On Aircraft

The North American B-45 Tornado was an early American jet-powered bomber
designed and manufactured by aircraft company North American Aviation.
It has the distinction of being the first operational jet bomber to enter
service with the United States Air Force (USAF)
- B-45A (96 aricraft)
Fifty-five nuclear-capable B-45s arrived in the United Kingdom in 1952.
These were modified with a 1,200 gal (4,542 l) fuel tank in the aft bomb bay.
Despite technical problems, these were Tactical Air Command's first-line
deterrent in Europe. (84Th; 85th; 86th Bs - 47th BG)
- B-45C (10 aircraft)
The B-45C was the first multiengine jet bomber in the world to be refueled in midair.
It carried two 1,200 gal (4,542 l) wingtip fuel tanks, had a strengthened canopy, and
an inflight refueling receptacle. The first B-45C was flown on May 3, 1949.
Only ten were built, and the remaining 33 under construction were converted to RB-45Cs.

YAK-130 (NATO code name MITTEN) by UllyB
May 1st    2021/ver 1.0    
        ****************************************
 
The Yak-130 combat trainer was selected as the winner of the trainer competition of the Voyenno Vozdushnyye Sily, Russian Federation Air Force, in April 2002. The aircraft is also actively marketed for export by Yakovlev, the Irkut company, and by Rosoboronexport.
The Yak-130 combat trainer was selected as the winner of the trainer competition of the Voyenno Vozdushnyye Sily, Russian Federation Air Force, in April 2002. The aircraft is also actively marketed for export by Yakovlev, the Irkut company, and by Rosoboronexport.
The Russian Air Force has a future requirement for 300 Yak-130 aircraft that can be deployed as a light strike aircraft or as a trainer for a range of fourth or fifth-generation fighters. An order was placed for the first 12 aircraft to replace ageing Aero Vodochody L-39 Albatros in 2002.
The aircraft entered service in the Russian Federation Air Force at the military pilot training academy in Krasnodar in July 2009 and was showcased in the MAKS 2009 air show.The production line for the aircraft at the Aviation Plant Sokol in Nizhny Novgorod, known as NAZ Sokol, is fully operational and the roll out of the first production series aircraft took place in May 2003. A series of flight tests of the serial production aircraft was started in April 2004.
The Russian Air Force ordered official testing in May 2005. The full trials of the advanced combat trainer, including spin and combat tactics trials, were completed in December 2009 prior to delivery of the first two production aircraft to the Russian Air Force.
The first Yak-130 ordered by the Russian Air Force completed its flight acceptance test at Sokol in August 2009. The Russian Air Force received the first four of 12 Yak-130s between February 2010 and April 2010. Another five aircraft were delivered in April 2011.
In December 2011, the Russian Ministry of Defence placed an order with Irkut for the delivery of 55 Yak-130 combat trainers by 2015. The first batch of six aircraft was delivered to the Russian Air Force in October 2012. The second batch of three Yak-130s was delivered in November 2012. The aircraft deliveries were completed in early 2015.
The Russian Air Force commenced pilot training operations of the new Yak-130 combat aircraft in April 2013, however a Yak-130 plane crashed near Akhtubinsk in the Astrakhan region in April 2014.
The aircraft performed a flight with advanced digital avionics suite developed by KRET in June 2014.
 

        ***********************************************
Finally the bird is here! I confess that I did all that I could and depended on me for that aircraft to be a winner. I couldn't have done that without the help of my chosen team and some other good guys from CombatAce who helped also to the big push.
I also included a custom setting version of the plane as I let you all know from the aircraft thread.Essentially the same plane with some custom decals, custom adjusted paintjobs,  DDS/DXT3 aircraft holes textures, aircraft texture tweak (engine exhauster fake mesh) and an Insky Team cockpit (edited to have characters in Russian rather than Chinese).I also included a set of some stock white Arab serial numbers for the Syrian paintjob.
 
Aircraft general features:
- canopy animation    (SHIFT+0)
- aircraft workable slimmers (CTR+L)
- two different fueltanks models (see aircraft texture folders) depending on the chosen aircraft skin.
- custom fueltank to match the default aircraft texture colors/paintjob.
- YAK-130 gundpod model special crafted for this edition
- bump maps (normal maps)
- Custom modified entries on aircraft wing to match ECM symetrical pods models (TALISMAN).
- some modified textures for the cockpit to match Russians language.
- regular aircraft night lights.
- a suitable weapons collection hand picked by me for this very plane.
- constructor logo special decals
- special Russian Airforce decals
- original paintjobs, including the factory prototype one.
- superb/realistic pilot models
- engine smoke/vapors realistic effect
- custom made engine intake decals
- special/bonus BELARUS paintjob custom made for the launching aircraft event.
- Data.ini (engine section) /optional entries for an afterburner version.
- Two cockpit models available, one for the custom edition, one for the 1.0 regular version. Take your pick :)

SF2 Lockheed C-121G/R7V-1 Super Constellation Pack       5/2/2020
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
"Quarantine Approved - Essential Mods"
This package contains a new aircraft, with 4 skin/decal sets, the Lockheed C-121G of the USAF & R7V-1 of the US Navy. These represent the Super Constellation cargo/transport versions as used by both services. This mod is based of the RC/EC-121 by RussoUK
The 4 skins included use the SF2 "date switch" to activate when needed. Most markings are decals, with the exception of (more than a few) painted on markings. All serial/Bunums are 100% historically accurate, but I was unable to attach specific ones to their units. With only 50-odd aircraft ever built, this isn't really a problem. They ARE assigned to their actual US military services (Navy or Air Force). Decal randomization is TRUE. All skins are in jpg format. Sounds, pilot figures, etc are included. Each skin has their own individual Hangar Screen. A 'box art' style Loading Screen is also included. It should also be noted, these are NEW skins, by me, modified/adapted from the existing ones in the C-121/WV-2s previously released.
Inside you'll find:
USAF C-121G:
1501st Air Transport Group, (MATS) c.1954, NMF/White uppers, Travis AFB
"MAC"  -unknown unit-, c.1966, NMF/W
USN R7V-2/C-121J:
VR-1 "Starlifters" c.1954, NMF overall, NAS Patuxent River
VR-7 "Seahorses" c.1960, NMF/White uppers, NAS Moffat Field
When in game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu, you'll see:
C-121G/R7V-1 Super Constellation (R)
This will differentiate it from any other military Constellations that may (or may not) be available. The "R" stands for RussoUK, the model maker. Please note, the "R7V-1" designation was changed to "C-121J" in 1962 under SecDef McNamara's overhaul of the military numbering conventions.
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. 
Happy Landings!

McDonnell Douglas F-4DA Phantom (Argentina) for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-4D to create a fictional F-4DA in service with the Argentine Air Force in the 1979-2010 timeline.

BACKSTORY
During the early 1960's the Fuerza Aérea Argentina (FAA) began an ambitious plan to replace the F-86F Sabre then in service as their main interceptor-fighter. The British English Electric Lightning was briefly considered but was quickly dismissed on account of it's very short range. The Swedish Saab Draken was successfully evaluated and FAA pilots submitted a very favourable report as was the French Dassault Mirage III and it seemed likely that a decision would be made between these two competing aircraft. However, the end of the Frondizi government in 1962 and the subsequent turmoil over the next few years saw the FAA's plans put on hold but the Israeli's successful use of the Mirage III in the 1967 Six-Day War saw the FAA finally decide on the French aircraft. However negotiations with the French Government came to an abrupt end in May 1968 when Juan Carlos Onganía, fearful of a coup d'état, dismissed the leaders of the Armed Forces and cancelled the Mirage order.
The 1973 elections (the first general elections for ten years) saw Dr. Hector Cámpora elected as President with a campaign based on a platform of national reconstruction. For the FAA this meant that it's F-86 replacement plans could finally continue but with an aircraft from an unexpected source. Despite the turmoil of Argentina's recent history, the US State Department saw Argentina as a bulwark of anti-Communism in South America and US President Richard Nixon sanctioned the export of 28 ex-USAF F-4D's with deliveries to Grupo 4 de Caza starting in August 1973 and deliveries to Grupo 8 de Caza starting in January 1974. The 1976 US Presidential elections saw incoming President Jimmy Carter highlight issues of human rights and eventually secure a congressional cutoff of all US arms transfers to Argentina and the FAA found it increasingly hard to support Phantom operations except by clandestine support. The FAA used the Phantom during the 1982 Guerra de las Malvinas as a long-range strike aircraft but the FAA's lack of aerial refueling capability and the long distance from their bases dramatically reduced their ability. After 1982 the FAA's Phantom force was increasingly supported by Israel Aircraft Industries and although no additional aircraft could be sourced the remaining 17 aircraft remained in service until 2010.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-4DA folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-4DA folder into your Decals folder.
That's it! For Argentine weapons I recommend you get them from the excellent SF2 Falklands Mod (Redux) by eburger68.

Yakovlev Yak-130F for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
This is a simple mod of the Yak-130 by UllyB to create a fictional Yak-130F in service with the Finnish Ilmavoimat in the 2016-2030 timeline.

BACKSTORY
At the end of the Cold War the Finnish Air Force relaxed it's policy of alternating it's combat aircraft purchases between Soviet and Western types and replaced both the Saab Draken and the MiG-21 with American F-18C and D Hornets with the F-18C's being assembled by Valmet in Finland. Soon after Finland declared that all the provisions of the Paris Peace Treaties, including those limiting the size and scope of it's armed forces, were nullified. This closed the door on Russian exports to Finland until September 2011 when, unexpectedly, the Libyan National Transitional Council cancelled Libya's order for six Yak-130 advanced jet trainers. Almost immediately, the Russian Government instructed the Irkut Corporation to offer these aircraft to Finland at a discounted and allegedly heavily subsidised price.
The six Yak-130's were delivered to the Finnish Air Force Academy in Tikkakoski with the first aircraft arriving in November 2012. Finnish Air Force officials were so impressed with the Yak-130 that they recommended to the Finnish Ministry of Defence to make a further purchase of the Yak-130 but specifically tailored to the light attack role and with the benefit of reducing the number of aircraft required for the Hornet replacement programme (later re-named as the HX Fighter Program). With input from the Irkut Corporation and the Finnish Air Force a new export version of the Yak-130 was quickly drafted and offered to the Finnish Government as the Yak-130F (F=Finlyandiya). In March 2013 Finland ordered 14 Yak-130F's for delivery during 2015 and 2016. Entering service with the newly re-formed Fighter Squadron 21 at Pirkkala in May 2016 the aircraft operate in the light attack role with a recent upgrade allowing them to use GBU-32 and GBU-38 precision guided munitions.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Yak-130F folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Yak-130F folder into your Decals folder.
3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop all files into your Weapons folder. This simply adds some weapons to give you the loadout I've chosen but you can select whatever you want.
That's it!

YAK-130 (NATO code name MITTEN) by UllyB
May 16th    2021/ver 1.0.1   
        ****************************************
Changes:
- Updated dataini file to reflect the real distribution of fuel in internal tanks (fuselage and wings)
- modified internal fuel tank distribution figures to reflect more realistic the values.
 
 
Contributors:
 
As Baffmeister noticed, the internal fuel tanks section wasn't explicited enough. That thing was corrected. Just replace the dataini file of the plane.
Special thanks to Logan4 who helped, correcting in 3DMax the model errors and valors and Baffmeister for detecting them in time.
 

Heinkel HE-111-H

The Heinkel He 111 was a German bomber aircraft designed by Siegfried and Walter Günter at Heinkel Flugzeugwerke in 1934. Through development it was described as a "wolf in sheep's clothing". Due to restrictions placed on Germany after the First World War prohibiting bombers, it masqueraded as a civil airliner, although from conception the design was intended to provide the nascent Luftwaffe with a fast medium bomber
Credits:
// aircraft model by Veltro2k
// cockpit by Stary (with edits as He-111 stand-in)
// He-111 destroyed model by Capun
// flight model, painting, decals and data by Charles
 
THIS MODEL IS ONLY TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE AND IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL IT BE USED, EVEN IN PART OF ANYTHING THAT IS PAYWARE. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT

On 30 July 1953, the first Sabre Mk.5 flew with the Orenda 10 engine,
which gave it a clear rate of climb and ceiling advantage over earlier
variants. Other Mk 5 improvements included a new oxygen system and
improved maneuverability and low-speed characteristics achieved by
increasing the wing chord by six in (15.2 cm) at the root and three
in. (7.2 cm) at the wing tip along with fitting a small vertical wing
fence. This modification, originated by North American on the F-86F,
dramatically improved maneuverability, though the loss of the slatted
leading edge increased landing speed and degraded low speed handling
considerably. Canadair built 370 Mk 5s with the majority designated
for use in the RCAF's Air Division squadrons in Europe to replace
the Mk.2s. A total of 75 RCAF Sabre 5s were transferred to the German
Luftwaffe during 1957.
WHAT'S IN:
- 2 new planes
- 34 high rez skins
- decals, sounds, weapons etc.
CREDITS:
- Zur model
- Ravenclaw temps
- paulopanz skins, decals, ini edits
TO INSTALL:
- all in main mod folder and overwrite
 

Enjoy!

SF2 A-10A (TW Stock Version) with Authentic ODS Livery and Serials
By Viper63a
This pack contains all A-10As serving in Operation Desert Storm with authentic serial numbers. Nose art and other details are my best effort, so it may be off - but it's damn close.
When we started the ODS 30 project, we wanted to use the stock A-10A Thunderbolts. As I finished the stock A-10A, we decided to switch to Spectre's A-10As...So, the stock A-10A mod was scrapped. Alot of work into this stock version, so I decided to release it as is...
~~DO NOT INSTALL THIS MOD INTO ODS 3.0. THAT PACKAGE COMES WITH A VERSION OF A-10A DESIGNED AND CONFIGURED FOR  THE ODS PACKAGE!

2) Update your "...\Flight\SOUNDLIST.INI" with the contents of the "Add A-10 SoundList.txt". Please don't forget to maintain the number sequence in the sound list.
3) Check, ensure (or update) all the squadrons in this pack is in your "SQUADRONLIST.INI" file. Once you look at that file, you will know what to do. 
* Please note that some squadrons have multiple CO planes, this is not a mistake. Rather than just picking one CO, I am representing all the COs for that squadron during the period. I may be off on this, so let me know if I have to correct something. 
Thanks and Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER
----------
This is a third party add on of the F-117A using a model
and cockpit created by me.
The original flight model was made by Fubar512 but modified
by me.
It is designed for and works in the SF2 series of games.
VERSION NOTES
-------------
This package is as close as I could get to representing the
F-117A in service with the USAF at the time of Operation
Desert Storm.
There are some parts which I have compromised the detail
on or removed all together in order to achieve an acceptable
level of detail without reducing game performance or increasing
development time.
An example of this is the arrestor hook. The real F-117A has a door
that jettisons when the hook is deployed. I have modelled the
door to open and close so consequently, the hook is retractable.
Animation Key #1 to open/close the refuel door.
Animation Key #2 to extend/retract the COMM and NAV antennas.
Animation Key #10 to open/close the canopy.
Weapon bay doors are automatic on weapon release.
Brake chute will only deploy while on the ground, below 100kts and
with the airbrake extended.
The ejection seat included in this package comes from ravenclaw's
ACES II Ejection Seat for A-10 vers. 1.0 so all the credit goes
to him.
The original package is available for download from:
http://combatace.com/files/file/12472-aces-ii-ejection-seat-for-a-10/
INSTALLATION
------------
Very simple, extract the files from the archive to your
C:\Users\*NAME*\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 folder.
Next,
You will need to add the following to your Squadronlist.ini
file which should be in your Flight AND Pilot Data folders.
This is so the Unit Names show up. (*NOTE* This is not
essential). Make sure the XXX is replaced with the next
number in sequence in your file:
[SquadronXXX]
Name=415TFS
DisplayName=415th TFS Nightstalkers
Nation=USAF
The 416th TFS should already be in your Squadronlist.ini, but
if not, add the following:
[SquadronXXX]
Name=416TFS
DisplayName=416th TFS Silver Knights
Nation=USAF
*NOTE* If you do not have a Squadronlist.ini file in your Flight 
folder you will need to extract it from the MissionData001.CAT
file in your Flight folder using the CatPack utility.
That's it.
You will need Diego's MODUSAF pilot skin for the pilot,
or you can use whatever skin you like by editing the
F-117A_Data.ini file.
REMOVAL
-------
Reverse the above steps.

useful support.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I have had making it.

Passenger civilian version of the favorite Airbus model. Enjoy the flight.

Nord 2501, powered by the SNECMA-built Bristol Hercules 738/9 engines, which was found acceptable.
Accordingly, the Noratlas was introduced to service by the Armée de l'Air on 6 December 1953.
Following its adoption by the Armée de l'Air, a number of other operators in both Europe and Africa
chose to procure the Noratlas for their own military air services. Having found itself in a similar
situation to France, the German Air Force of West Germany chose to adopt the same solution, procuring
the type for their own purposes. The Israeli Air Force, the Hellenic Air Force, and the Portuguese Air
Force all deployed the Noratlas under combat conditions.

Lockheed/FMA IA-16 Serpiente:
BACKSTORY:
The year is 1998. Argentina starts showing its newly acquired A-4AR Fightinghawk, modernized to replace the old A-4Bs. While this was happening, it was clear that the Mirages had to be retired anywhere in a near future. So, the Fabrica Militar de Aviones, also called FMA, joins Lockheed Martin to develop a multirole, supersonic fighter, to fill the space that the Mirage will no longer cover. The result of this alliance is the IA-16 Serpiente, a multirole, supersonic and highly capable aircraft, developed from the F-16. The Serpiente is very similar to the Japanese F-2, but they have some differences that make them unique: while the F-2 has a boom receptor for air refueling, the Serpiente has a fuel probe, being capable of refueling from the KC-130 owned by the FAA. The avionics and a lot of parts from the plane itself are made in Argentina, and after 2008, the plane could be made in Argentinian soil without importing a single manufactured piece. The first plane flew in 2002, and was introduced in the FAA in the year 2005. The plane is equipped with Python 5 and AMRAAM missiles. It also can be equipped with AIM-9Xs and, due to the open architecture, it can be equipped with MICA and Meteor missiles. In 2007, Argentina recieved a first batch of 24 Serpientes, with 12 going to the 5th Fighter Group and the other 12 to the 6th Fighter Group, and in 2015, with the retirement of the Mirages and Neshers, another 24 IA-16 Serpiente Block 2 were ordered, plus the modernization of the existing ones to the Block 1+ standard, matching the avionics of the upcoming versions. The nacionalization of the whole assembly proccess of the plane has opened the opportunity for exports, being offered to small countries, like Uruguay, Paraguay and El Salvador. These 3 countries allegedly planned to buy 12 units of the Serpiente each one, but pressure from the US (even though the Serpiente is a US derived product) made them decline the offer. The Serpiente has seen service in the FAA for 15 years now, and is expected to surpass 2040. The future of this plane looks bright, with several modifications planned for the next year, like a radar-absorbing painting, to have semi-stealth capabilities (coming probably next update).
