Add-On Aircraft

17th July 2009 SF2 version updates by knx, all props go to original creators as listed below dotted line.
 
Install instructions, drag and drop Objects folder into your mod folder.
 
Here's the original readme, not all of the contents are included here as the pack seems to have been broken down into smaller packs, more on the way soon:
.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
F-86 Sabre /MiG-15 README:
 
 
First of all I would like to think “USAFMTL” for allowing me to be a part of this effort.
 
 
Secondly thanks go to David Zurawski for his wonderful F-86 Sabre that is such a work of art.
 
 
Thirdly thank you to all that have modeled and skined the work to developed individual sub-models of the F-86.
 
 
Thanks to Jimmy Bib for all his graphical engineering.
 
 
Lastly thank you to “Fubar 512" for his expert guidance in my effort in Flight Modeling.
 
 
 
If ever the was an aircraft the looked, felt, smelt, and tasted like a fighter aircraft ; it’s the F-86 Sabre!
 
 
And being an actual jet rated pilot, with a little over 1,200 actual flight hours, compelled me to tweak , my “Sweet Sabre”.
 
 
Being my all time favorite aircraft and being an avid history nut about the Korean Conflict compelled me in an effort to add to these works that so many started.
 
 
First of all. All data contained in the data.ini files was deeply researched by “USAFMTL” and myself.
 
 
Only minor tweaks where utilized, building on the work of those that created the aircraft models.
 
 
All aircraft preform to Dash 1 specifications to the degree of 99.9%.
 
 
All aircraft where thoroughly tested by hundreds hours of actual, not autopilot, testing.
 
 
 
The yank and bank style of A.C.M. with this aircraft is gone.
 
 
 
Key points are :
1) Keeping a high energy fight.
 
 
2) Thinking well ahead of what the aircraft is, or what you want it to do.
 
 
3) The required use of the speed brakes to alter or set up YOUR fight or flight, in reference to turning radius. Not just chopping the throttle, that is a only a good way to die.
 
 
4) And for the self proclaimed, “Fighter Aces”, fly these models on the HARD setting, to truly test your skill.
 
 
5) All F-86 and MiG-15 are uniform in performance. The aircraft preform as did the actual models of this noble era.
 
 
6) The addition of armor to all aircraft end the ,“QUICK KILL”. These can be altered still to fit ones preference.
 
 
 
A little history:

Install instructions, drag and drop Objects folder into your mod folder.
 
Notes: I will try to figure out why the magnetic compass to the right of the cockpit isn't showing up, just a case of finding the appropriate bmp from first series games I think. Will update as and when. Please let me know if you spot something else that needs updating/tweaking. I'm sure there is something I missed, so point it out to me please if you can, the reason I'm uploading now as it is, is so that issues can be pointed out and resolved before the rest of the packs to follow. Regards, Gwyn.

Install instructions, drag and drop Objects folder into your mod folder. Simples tsiek!
 
Notes: The old shadow entry and shd gives the "shadow appearing as a shaft of grey to the ground" problem, however so does the newer method on my system. Swap out the xx in the FJ-3M.ini [shadow] entries to see which one you prefer.

FJ-3M Fury Mod
by column5
 
First, let me thank Zur for allowing me to mod his excellent F-86. I'd also like to acknowledge DanW who did the original F-86 skin, which I modified for this aircraft.
 
You do not need the F-86 to use this mod, but if you DON'T have it you should: http://www.simtweak.com.
 
Soon after the Korean conflict began, the US Navy realized that its current front line fighters, the F9F Panther and F2H Banshee, were no match for the new MiG-15. The Navy wisely contracted North American Aviation to modify the superb F-86 Sabre for naval use, and the result was the FJ-2 Fury (the FJ-1 designation had already been applied to a completely different aircraft). The Fury was developed over the course of the 1950s into the FJ-3, represented here, and ultimately the FJ-4. Unlike the FJ-4, the FJ-3 is externally very similar to the F-86, and is well represented by Zur's F-86 model.
 
The 'M' in the aircraft's designation represents the ability to carry early Sidewinder AAMs. The FJ-3 is also equipped with four Mk12 20mm canon.
 
This package includes a skin representing the bright colors of VF-53 Iron Angels circa 1956.

Hawker Hunter F.6 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2:EUROPE
 
This is a simple mod of the excellent Third Wire Hunter to give a flyable Hawker Hunter F.6 fighter-bomber with markings for No.63 and No.74 squadrons of the Royal Air Force in the late-1950's to early 1960's period.
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. Drop the Hunter_F6 folder into your Aircraft folder.
 
 
2. Sprinkle the contents of the Decals folder into your main Decals folder.
 
 
Do not just move the folder! You must empty the contents in.
 
 
 
N.B. If you haven't got a Decals folder inside your Objects folder then simply move my Decals folder into your Objects folder.
 
 
MARKINGS
 
Both squadrons did actually operate the Hunter F.6 but the markings are slightly 'generic' and both squadrons were mainly seen with either nose markings or fuselage markings. Both are shown as default so you can delete either to suit your preference.
 
 
CREDITS
 
BIG THANKS to TK for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.
 
And special thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Hawker Hunter F.5 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
 
This is a simple mod of the excellent Third Wire Hunter to give a flyable Hawker Hunter F.5 fighter-bomber with markings for No.1 and No.34 squadrons of the Royal Air Force in the mid-1950's period. Both squadrons were dispatched to Cyprus during the 1956 Suez Crisis and wore yellow and black 'invasion' stripes during that conflict. These stripes are reproduced here as decals so that they can easily be removed or you can move the fuselage stripes aft of the roundel to suit your taste as photographs exist showing both locations.
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. Drop the Hunter_F5 folder into your Aircraft folder.
 
 
2. Sprinkle the contents of the Decals folder into your main Decals folder.
 
 
Do not just move the folder! You must empty the contents in.
 
 
 
N.B. If you haven't got a Decals folder inside your Objects folder then simply move my Decals folder into your Objects folder.
 
 
NOTES
 
This Hunter F.5 is set up, just like the real thing, with just the two inner-wing weapons pylons.
 
 
MARKINGS
 
Both squadrons did actually operate the Hunter F.5 but the markings are slightly 'generic' although the serials are accurate.

The B-66B was developed strictly as a tactical bomber and was the last bomber of this type procured by the USAF. The -B model was based on the RB-66A which was in turn adapted from the US Navy A3D Skywarrior. The B-66B made its first flight on 4 January 1955, about 6 months after the initial flight of the RB-66A. The USAF received its first production aircraft in March 1956 and deliveries continued into 1958.
 
The B-66B was the first USAF bomber designed with in-flight refueling (IFR) capability, although many (numerically) earlier bombers were fitted with IFR equipment as a retrofit modification or on later models in the development cycle.
 
A total of 62 B-66B bombers were built. Many -B models were converted to electronic warfare aircraft after their usefulness as bombers was complete. Many of these aircraft, designated as EB-66B or EB-66E, served in Sotheast Asia during the Vietnam war.

Skins included with the aircraft:

****EF-2000 Eurofighter For SF2****
 
by Bongodriver
 
 
Credits part of original ReadMe:
 
A BIG BIG thanks to
 
USAFMTL (and various partners in crime) for his help and guidance and support.
 
Jimmybib and Sundowner for initial consultation on skinning and all credit to Sundowner for producing the final skins which are superb.
 
Moonjumper for his advice on some avionics matters
 
All of you for you encouragement and kind words through it's development
 
My Producers....etc...etc :) Oh god I'm going to cry..
 
Anyway I decided to release slightly early because I'd like some of you to enjoy tweaking this thing, theres alot of talent out there who can make this thing great.
 
 
Absolutely no part of this is to be used in payware but moddify the model any way you wish and re distribute in your own freeware mods as you wish with no permission required from me, just give me the relevant credit.
 
The skins are Sundowners so ask him if you wish to make mods of them.
 
Enjoy...

Until the next time I bore you to death with my uniform ReadMe's that are basically an edited copy of original ones - enjoy. xD

Mig-21M
 
 
The Mig-21M (modernizeerovannyy) was the export version of the Mig-21S (Sapfeer-21 radar), the first fighter of the third generation Mig-21s.
 
Both NATO nickname was Fishbed-J, the engine was the Soyuz R11F2S-300.
 
It differed from the domestic version in two important respects: the downgraded (simplified) avionics and the built-in GSh-23L gun.
 
The Mig-21MF (modernizeerovannyy forseerovannyy), the export version of the Mig-21SM (S-modernizeerovannyy), all named Fishbed-J too, had the more powerfull engine Soyuz R13-300, the rear view periscope and two blast deflectors below the blow-in doors.
 
The Mig-21M was exported in East Germany (87), Poland (36), Czechoslovakia (24), Romania (60), Yugoslavia (25), Bulgaria (15), Syria (12), Egypt (12) and India.
 
The IAF had 65 Soviet-built Mig-21M (izdeliye 96) were called in India Mig-21MF, but the Indian-built Type-88(izdeliye 96F) , very similar to soviet Mig-21MF, was called Mig-21M , that caused some misunderstandings …..
 
This is taken from Yefim Gordon’s Mig-21 masterpiece.
 
There was’nt in TW/TK simulations.
 
So I started from the Mig-21MF and removed the periscope and the blast deflectors, changed the engine stats (data taken from previous Mig-21S mod), made some other editings (performances and weapons) took some stock MF skins (Soviet, Syrian and Eaf), made new ones and historical known serial numbers.
 
I was not able to remove periscope from inside the cockpit, if someone could , do it please.
 
Because some Mig-21M were sometime “retrofitted” with periscope and blast plates, I included in the pack a dedicated “retrofitted” data.ini. You have only to change it with the stock one.
In this way the plane is identical in shape to Mig-21MF.
 
In fact the IAF planes were “retrofitted”.
 
 
*** * ***
 
The new skins included:
 
1) LSK Silver & Camo with historical serial numbers (made on Souli’s original work as usual) and “Q” quality marks on appropriate planes;
2) PWL Silver with historical serial numbers;
3) Yugo Silver with historical serial numbers;
4) IAF Silver & Camo with known historical serial numbers;
5) FAR Silver with historical serial numbers;
 
Stock Soviet, EAF and Syrian skin included.
 
Credits (I hope no mistake ..):
 
- Ordway for his wonderfull cockipt;
- Spillone-104 for dedicated sound;
- Soulfreak for LSK stencils
 
To install: simply put everithing in your mod SF-2 folder.

F-105F and G Thunderchief introduction & History
***********************************
 
 
The F-105F was heavily committed to combat over Southeast Asia. Some were quickly adapted for the "Wild Weasel" air-defense suppression role, fitted with electronics to detect enemy radars and target air defense sites for destruction in advance of strike packages. The original Air Force "Wild Weasel I" was a modified two-seat North American F-100F Super Sabre, but the F-100 wasn't fast enough to keep up with F-105 strike packages, and so the F-105F was selected for the role.
 
The major elements of the modification were addition of the "APR-25 Radar Homing And Warning (RHAW)" system, which picked up and located radar sites; the "APR-26 Launch Warning Receiver (LWR)", which provided warning of a missile launch; and an "IR-133 Scan Receiver" to search for emitters. The back-seat "electronics warfare officer (EWO)" controlled these devices and had a cockpit CRT to help locate targets.
 
The first such F-105F "Wild Weasel II", sometimes informally known as an "EF-105F", performed its first flight on 15 January 1966, and the Wild Weasel Thuds were engaged in active combat by the spring of that year. A total of 86 Wild Weasel F-105F conversions were performed.
 
The Wild Weasel F-105F was armed with the new "AGM-45 Shrike Anti-Radar Missile (ARM)", a modified Sparrow AAM with a radar-homing head, to destroy radar transmitters, and attacked air-defense sites with CBU-24 cluster bombs and other munitions. Sometimes Wild Weasel F-105Fs worked with F-105Ds in "hunter-killer" teams, with the Wild Weasel Thud pinpointing the target and the F-105Ds destroying it.
 
While other aircraft could avoid air-defense sites when possible, Wild Weasels actually had to attract their attention and take them on. This led to the Wild Weasel motto, which was "YGBSM", standing for "You Gotta Be s**ttin' Me!" Apparently this was the reaction of the first Wild Weasel aircrews when they were told what they were getting themselves into.
 
Wild Weasel crews were generally gutsy sorts, and they evolved tactics for outflying SAMs launched at them. They would watch for a missile launch, and then fly straight at the SAM at high speed, turning at the last moment. The fast-moving SAM would not be able to turn quickly enough to bring the fighter into the blast radius of its warhead.
 
 
Two Wild Weasel F-105F pilots won the highest American military award, the Congressional Medal of Honor. On 10 March 1967, Captain Merlyn F. Dethlefsen was piloting one of four Wild Weasel Thuds paving the way for a strike package. The leader was shot down by anti-aircraft fire, and North Vietnamese MiG-21 fighter made repeated passes on the survivors, trying to force them to dump their ordnance. Dethlefsen pressed home the attack anyway and destroyed the site. All three surviving Wild Weasels returned home with severe damage. Dethlefsen was personally awarded the medal by President Johnson.
 
On 19 April 1967, Lieutenant Colonel Leo K. Thorsness had completed a Wild Weasel strike when his wingmates were shot down. He was low on fuel but stayed around to cover the air rescue operation, driving of a flight of MiG-17s that tried to interfere. Thorsness shot down one MiG and damaged another. He passed up an opportunity to refuel from a tanker when another aircraft breathing fumes showed up, and landed safely at Ubon, a forward base in Thailand.
 
On 30 April, Thorsness' F-105 was hit and badly damaged. He and his EWO ejected, Thorsness being badly injured in the process, and were captured by the North Vietnamese. They spent over six years in a North Vietnamese POW camp.
 
* 56 Wild Weasel F-105Fs were later updated to an improved "Wild Weasel III" configuration with the designation "F-105G", featuring improved avionics, as well as jammer pods that were faired into the forward fuselage, freeing up the underwing pylons for other stores. 14 of the F-105Gs were further modified to carry the big AGM-78 "Standard Anti-Radar Missile (STARM)", an air-launched variant of the US Navy's "Standard" SAM.

Original 3D model by Zur.
 
This is the early F-86K (pre ser number 56-4116) with the narrow chord wing. Later Ks had the extended F-40 wing and earlier ones were retrofitted. I'll have those when the L is done...
 
Put the plane in your aircraft folder. The skins are semi accurate based on the vague info I have on the K models of W Germany and Italy. Sleepy Sweeper is going to hook up the Norwegian Kilos. ( I think)
 
Make sure you have the latest wep pack to get the F-86 drop tanks.
 
Also in an update to the F-86D-45 which fixes the lights postions. Put that file in your main F-86D-45 folder and overwrite.

Final notes
 
This is good for taking out bombers. If you are lucky. Dogfighting fighters in it though, forget it. You will be able to see what the pilots of this aircraft had to go through in case of a war. It was not a ground attack aircraft, it was used for intercepts, high speed recon (if ever) and CAP's over the US and Canada. Good luck, you will need it.
