SF2 TMF Mirage 5DE & Mirage 5SDE Upgrade/Remod Pack 5/10/2024
-For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested)
This is a full upgrade/remod pack for The Mirage Factory's Mirage 5SD of the Lybian Air force, and the Mirage 5SDE as used by the Egyptian Air Force. As you can see, this mod contains 2 aircraft:
Mirage 5DE:
No. 1030 Sqdn, LARAF
Mirage 5SDE:
No.69 Sqdn (Early)
No.69 Sqdn (<1977 w/ID Panels), EAF
This mod is set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Mirage 5SD and SDE available from within the game (aka: DLC #28) or any others that may exist. Skins remain in its original bmp format. All markings are decals. Serial number Decal Randomization is TRUE. The 5SDE for Egypt has all 54 historicaly correct serials; these change from 1000 series to 9000 series with the date change to the ID paneled skin. Best Research (tm) shows the LARAF numbers to be correct as well. New Hangar and Loading screens are included as well. The canopies operate with the standard animation keystroke, Shift/0 (zero)
All necessary items are provided, serial number decals, weapons (drop tanks), pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth. Some, you've probably got already!!! If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown you'll see:
Mirage 5SD (TMF)
and
Mirage 5SDE (TMF)
So you can't mistake it for anything other than TMF Birds (tm). This will also differentialize these from the 3rd Wire stock & DLC versions.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included. The 'Change Log' is, as always, in the Notes section below.
Happy Landings!

SF2 TMF K'fir C1 & F-21A Lion Upgrade/Remod Pack 5/3/2024
-For SF2, Any and All-(SF2:I and/or Full 5 Merged Suggested)
This is a full upgrade/remod pack for The Mirage Factory's IAI K'fir C1 & F-21A Lion as used by the Israeli Defense Force Air Force, and the US Navy and US Marine Corps. The later two were used in dissimilar combat training as adversery aircraft (see Notes).
Included in this package are the 2 full aircraft, with one or more skins:
Kfir C1:
101 Squadron (Camo w/ID Panels)
F-21A Lion:
VF-43 "Challengers" (USN) (2-tone Grays)
VMAT-401 "Snipers" (USMC) (IDF style Desert Camo)
They are set up and labeled to cause =NO= conflicts with the Kfirs available as stock within the game or any others that may exist. Skins remain in their original bmp format. National markings are painted on, and my (Patent Pending) fake insignia and SqTail decals are active (when needed), allowing the squadron's name & Nation Name to be displayed on the Loadout screen. Serial number Decal Randomization is TRUE. All serial numbers are 100% historically accurate for their various units (all 32 for the IDF). All necessary items are provided, serial number decals, weapons (drop tanks), pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth. Some, you've probably got already. If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed.
The canards have been removed from the C1 through the use of the 'remove component trick'. The F-21A retains it's canards. For both models, the canopy operates with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The animation for the intake shock cones has also been corrected, thanks to Crusader.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
Kfir C1 (TMF)
and
F-21A Lion (C.1P) (TMF)
So you can't mistake them for anything other than TMF Birds (tm). Of course, this also removes confusion from the stock 3rd Wire Birds too (although the F-21A IS a DLC).
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included. The 'Change Log' is, as always, in the Notes section below.

This is a converted model from FSX. I have no idea where I got it from, I've had it for a long time. If someone has something against it, I apologize in advance and I will be happy to remove it. I hope everyone likes it, thanks.

SF2 IAI Dagger (FAA) by The Mirage Factory Upgrade/Remod Pack 4/4/2024
-For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested)
This is a full upgrade/remod pack for The Mirage Factory's IAI Dagger as used by the Argentine Air Force (Fuerza Aérea Argentina or FAA).
Skins remain in their original bmp format. All necessary items are provided, weapons, pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth (most weapons used ARE stock 3W items, with few exceptions). This is a "nationalized" single-user only aircraft.
This aircraft is supplied with 3 skins:
Camo with NO ID bands (original skin)
Camo with Blue ID Bands
Camo with Yellow ID Bands (both with a 1982 start date)
All skins use the same 'pool' of 39 ID/serial numbers. All serials are 100% hisorically accurate. As can be expected, the SF2 Date Switch (tm) is active, although the 2 Color Banded Birds (tm) both have the 1982 start date for use during the Falkland War (as best as my research could narrow down) Also, the Date Switch is used on the Loadout ini, as newer missiles become available.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop-down you'll see:
Dagger (TMF)
So you can't mistake them for anything else but TMF Birds (tm). Also. this will diferentiate it from the Other Daggers available
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included. The 'Change Log' is, as always, in the Notes section below.

In June 1975, with tension growing with Morocco, Spain decided to strengthen its Air Force and bought 15 Mirage F1C that were allocated to Albacete AB. In mid-1976 there was still some tension with Morocco and Algerian and Libyan MiG-25 flights on the Mediterranean, which would lead the Spanish Air Force to purchase ten more Mirage F1C and two years later order 48 Mirage F1C and F1E.
F1EE_Early specifics:
no R550, AIM-9 SideWinder instead
R530 and S530F capability but S530F not used by EdA at this time
CLB4, no CLB8
Seat Mk4
Inertial Navigation System Sagem UNI43
RWR BF
AAR probe
AN/ALE-40 Chaffs Flares dispenser (actually introduced after delivery, in ~mid 1980s)
Syrel ELINT pod capability
Covered units :

SF2 TMF Nesher (IDF) Upgrade/Remod Pack 4/5/2024
-For SF2, Any and All-(SF2:I and/or Full 5 Merged Suggested)
This is a full upgrade/remod pack for The Mirage Factory's Dassault Nesher as used by the Israeli Defense Force Air Force. Included in this package are 3 different skins:
101 Squadron (Camo)
253 Squadron (Camo)
117 Squadron (Camo w/Orange ID Triangles <1973)
They are set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Nesher available as stock within the game or any others that may exist. Skins remain in their original bmp format. Almost all markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. All decals used are stock, in game items (you don't need SF2I for these) As you can see above, the SF2 date switch is active for the later, "Orange ID Triangle" skin. 101 & 253 Squadrons share the same start date (no actual date listed), meaning they're avaliable from the initial date of service, and are available to choose from the drop down menu. All necessary items are provided, weapons (drop tanks), pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth. Some, you've probably got already!!!
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown you'll see:
Nesher S (TMF)
So you can't mistake them for anything other than TMF Birds (tm). This also means, there'll be NO conflict with the other Neshers, of mods thereof, out there.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included. The 'Change Log' is, as always, in the Notes section below.
