BELL AH-1P Upgraded COBRA Ver 1.0 for SF2
June 2016.
This is a third party add on of the AH-1P upgraded Cobra using models and cockpits created by me.
The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
I have just modified it a bit.
It is designed for and works only in the SF2 series.
WeaponPACK for this model is also included.

This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.
ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
In 1995-96 Turkish army decided to upgrade old P model. It was sent to Israel for upgrades. And it was brought to late Israeli F model standard.. But still in official documents and info plates on helicopters it is P model. Aircrafts received new electronics, HUD and all israeli F model upgrades.
All serial numbers are proper for Turkish P model and historicaly correct.
For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector - and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
NVG.
Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P/E model.
Including XM158 and M200/M260/M261 launchers and for smoe late models M260 and M261 with Mk66 motor rockets.
TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D
There is additional optional Suppressed Exhaust loaded via weaponstation.
Also here there is new M197 automatic cannon loaded via weaponstation.
One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
Pilots:
I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
Enjoy.
Report Bugs.
Edit your way.

SF2 F-22A USAF Raptors Redux 2016 - More Skins and Squadrons
by Viper63a
More F-22 skins and squadrons for the "SF2 F-22A USAF Raptors Redux 2016 Version 2.5" package. Blaze got me thinking about some of the old Raptors from the golden days of flight sim, so I brought some of those "What if" Raptors to SF2 levels!
You will need the original main pack for these skins to work. You can get that with the following link...
http://combatace.com/files/file/15909-sf2-f-22a-usaf-raptors-redux-v3/
Included in this package are the 14th SEA, 22nd Desert, 80th SEA, 433rd Various/Black, 493rd Desert and etc... All squadrons have their complete compliment of decals for their "What If" scenarios. These are considered to be "Show Birds" or Mercenary jets deployed into the USAF mix of some future conflict. There are some other Raptors from Nellis and one special Raptor for Paris.
As always, I recommend that you back up your mod folder before you install any new mod...just in case.
* To install, simply unzip and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite (if needed).
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2...
That's it, Enjoy!

The FACH at the time acquired 15 Mirage 5BA MIRSIP (called M-5MA Elkan by FACH), 5 Mirage 5BD MIRSIP (M-5BD Elkan) and 1 and 5 BD Mirage 5 Mirage 5BR reconnaissance without modifying the standard MIRSIP.

Mirage 5BD
The Dassault Mirage III is a family of single-seat, single-engine, fighter aircraft produced by Dassault Aviation for the French Air Force and widely exported. Prominent operators included Australia, Argentina, South Africa and Israel, as well as a number of nonaligned nations. Though an older design, the second generation fighter is still a fairly maneuverable aircraft and an effective opponent in close range dogfighting. In French service it was armed with air-to-ground ordnance or R.550 Magic air-to-air missiles.
The versatility of the design enabled production of trainer, reconnaissance and ground-attack versions as well as the Dassault Mirage 5, Dassault Mirage IIIV and Atlas Cheetah variants. A Mirage III was the first European combat aircraft to exceed a speed of Mach 2 in horizontal flight.
Requirements: DLC Mirage5BA.

Mirage IIIB/IIIBE PACK
Mirage IIIB
The Armée de l'Air also ordered a two-seat Mirage IIIB operational trainer, which first flew in October 1959. The fuselage was stretched about a meter (3 ft 3.5 in) and both cannons were removed to accommodate the second seat. The IIIB had no radar, and provision for the SEPR rocket was deleted, although it could carry external stores. The AdA ordered 63 Mirage IIIBs (including the prototype), including five Mirage IIIB-1 trials aircraft, ten Mirage IIIB-2(RV) inflight refueling trainers with dummy nose probes, used for training Mirage IVA bomber pilots, and 20 Mirage IIIBEs, with the engine and some other features of the multi-role Mirage IIIE. One Mirage IIIB was fitted with a fly-by-wire flight control system in the mid-1970s and redesignated 'Mirage IIIB-SV (Stabilité Variable); this aircraft was used as a testbed for the system in the later Mirage 2000.

A-4M Skyhawk II - US Marine Corpse for Thirdwire A-4 Skyhawks v1.02
==================================================================
*** SF2, SF2V, SF2I required (A-4F_74 model, KfirC1_77 cockpit and A-7E HUD-parts). Tested in full 5-merged installation only ***
*** DLC 005 A-4K required ***
In this mod included are 4 different versions of the plane with the following differences:
- A-4M (available 1971-1975): much like A-4F, larger canopy. HighVis markings.
- A-4M_75 (available 1975-1981): new nose, larger canopy, fintip fairing, new RHAW-system, HighVis markings.
- A-4M_79 (available 1979-1982): new nose, larger canopy, fintip fairing, new RHAW-system, ARBS, LGB capable,

AGM-65 Maverick (1985+), later LowVis camouflage.
This mod is based on dtmdragons Skyhawk II pack, he unfortunately never released. I used it as base and starting
point, but rearranged it a bit, to incorporate new pylons and better reflect updates and the different
camouflages used during the years.
Included are the following Squadrons:
- VMA-131 Diamondbacks (M_82)
- VMA-142 Flying Gators (M_82)
- VMA-211 Wake Island Avengers (M_75, M_79, M_82)

This is THE Hawker Hunter F.6
A labour of love, made about 3 times and lasting several years.
In fact new outstanding high res textures made by Sundowner,
took me with this pack almost ready to upload.
So I slowly adapted and improved my RAF skins.
Then as this new dressing changed the bump maps I had to
adapt stock skins too.
But when the job was almost done I decided to improve and update
foreign Hunters to match the new RAF level.
So at last here we are Gents!
WHAT'S IN:
- basically a whole NEW plane
- 4 stock RAF skins improved and upgraded
- 34 new RAF skins
- 6 BAF skins (stock, updated and new)
- 5 KLU skins (stock, updated and new)
- 4 RJAF skins (stock, updated and new)
- 4 IfAF skins (stock, updated and new)
- 1 FAL upgraded skin
- 3 Acro Teams upgraded skins
- new decalsets
- pilot
- sounds
OPERATIONS:
- Canopy open Key=10 autoclosing at take off
TO INSTALL:
- open zip files and extract into your mod folder (2,16 GB)
CREDITS:
- TW/TK for this plane
- Sundowner for High Res Temps (Hurraj!)
- Spillone104 for Sounds
- paulopanz (me) for skins, decals, inis etc
Enjoy!
