Scooters! Vol.2 - Aggressors for TW A-4 and Fractures TA-4 Skyhawks
========================================================
 
*** DLC A-4G Skyhawk required. Tested in full 5-merged installation ***
*** SF2 or SF2V for the A-4E cockpit and A-4F model ***
 
This pack contains 14 Aggressor-Skins for the Scooter as used during it's career as plane for DACT - Dissimilar Air Combat Training. These planes were used to simulate enemy aircraft vs. regular Squadrons.
Although a certain camouflage was applied often to 1 plane only, I decided to do 8 planes per skin for playability reasons. To difference the real planes and the "filler" I added the BuNos for the real planes in the loadout menu. The ones without BuNo are fictional.
 
This pack contains skins depicting the following planes/squadrons:
 
A-4E/F Mongoose without Hump
- A-4E/F of VF-43 Challengers, 1992 in a light gray/gray wraparound camo.
- A-4E/F of VF-126 Bandits, 1992 in white/gray/blue with light blue bottom
- A-4E/F of VF-126 Bandits, 1991 in tan with brown stripes and gray bottom.
- A-4E/F of VF-126 Bandits, 1991 in tan/brown/green with gray bottom.
- A-4E/F of VFC-12 Fighting Omars, 1993 in an overall glossy engine gray camo.
 
A-4E/F Skyhawk with Hump
- A-4E of VF-45 Blackbirds, 1987 in brown with green tiger stripes ("Brown Tiger")
- A-4E of VF-101 Grim Reapers, 1972 in 2 shades of bluegray with light blue bottom.
 
TA-4J Skyhawk
- TA-4F/J of VFC-12 Fighting Omars, 1989 in an overall glossy engine gray camo.
- TA-4F/J of VA-127 Cylons, 1986 in a tan/green wraparound camo.
- TA-4F/J of VA-127 Cylons, 1983 in a light gray/dark gray/blue wraparound camo.
- TA-4F/J of VC-8 Redtails, 2000 in tan/brown.
- TA-4F/J of VC-8 Redtails, 2000 in blue/light blue ("Baby Blue").
- TA-4F/J of VF-45 Blackbirds, 1993 in bluegray/gray wraparound camo.
- TA-4F of H&MS-31 Aggressors, 1989 in 3 different gray wraparound camo.
 
Included is a variation of the ACMI-Pod. For that I combined ravenclaws ACMI-Pod model with the data.ini of 331Killerbees CAP-9 to make it a missiletype-store than uses a build-in rail.
 
New Hangar- and Loadingscreens are also included with a resolution of 1920x1080 as default and 1024x768 as optional.
 
I changed the cockpit by removing the radar screen. Additional changes are the switched positions of the Accelerometer and AoA-Indicator and Levers for Arresting Hook and Landing Gear are operational now.
 
As in dtmdragons original mod, I retained the cannons for playability, although they are not visible in game.
 
I hope you have fun with it!

Mirage IIIC (SEPR)
 
The new fighter design was named the Mirage III. It incorporated the new area ruling concept, where changes to the cross section of an aircraft were made as gradual as possible, resulting in the famous "wasp waist" configuration of many supersonic fighters. Like the Mirage I, the Mirage III had provision for a SEPR rocket engine.
 
The prototype Mirage III flew on 17 November 1956, and attained a speed of Mach 1.52 on its 10th flight. The prototype was then fitted with manually operated intake half-cone shock diffusers, known as souris ("mice"), which were moved forward as speed increased to reduce inlet turbulence. The Mirage III attained a speed of Mach 1.8 in September 1957.
 
The success of the Mirage III prototype resulted in an order for 10 pre-production Mirage IIIA fighters. These were almost two meters longer than the Mirage III prototype, had a wing with 17.3% more area, a chord reduced to 4.5%, and an Atar 09B turbojet with afterburning thrust of 58.9 kN (13,230 lbf). The SEPR rocket engine was retained, and the aircraft were fitted with Thomson-CSF Cyrano Ibis air intercept radar, operational avionics, and a drag chute to shorten landing roll

Kfir C7
 
The Israel Aircraft Industries Kfir (Hebrew: ???????,, "Lion Cub") is an Israeli-built all-weather, multirole combat aircraft based on a modified French Dassault Mirage 5 airframe, with Israeli avionics and an Israeli-built version of the General Electric J79 turbojet engine.
The Kfir C.7 Vastly modified variant. Most if not all C.2 aircraft were modified to this variant. It included an improved J79-GEJ1E engine that offered more 1,000 lbs of thrust at full afterburner (and as a result increasing the Maximum Take-off Weight by 3,395 lbs), 2 more hardpoints under the air intakes, better avionics such as the Elta EL/M-2021B radar, HOTAS configured cockpit and inflight refueling capability.

PAF Mirage 5 PA-3 for SF2(FUll-Merged) OR at least any 1 game Required.
 
This pack represents the Mirage 5PA3 of the Pakistan Air Force used to reinforce the Navy with an Anti-Naval capability.Now the Question is are there other packs which represent this same aircraft?Yes but those packs require DLC to work.
THis package contains the entire Aircraft with the necessary LODS, pilots and weapons hence,becoming a STANDALONE pack for this aircraft.Made specifically for the Indo-Pak Mod.
 
The Mirage 5PA3 was acquired by the Pakistani Air Force as a new build aircraft during the Early eighties and has since been subject to many upgrades.The PA3 is fitted with a CSF Agave Radar for compatability with the (in)famous AM39 Exocet Anti-Ship Missile.Based on the Cockpit images,I chose the cockpit of the Mirage factory Kfir and modified the Radar values to match the real world aircraft.The Loadouts and Mission Data has also been adjusted accordingly aswell.100% Historically accurate Decals to represent aircraft assigned to the 8th Squadron "Haiders" based at PAFB Masroor at Karachi.Due to the limitations of the Mirage Factory Mirage 5BA model,the aircraft is not 100% identical to the real world jet as the nose is a little short and due to the absence of the 'radar bump' beneath the nose.
 
Technical Issues:
1.Since I did not install NA due to space constraints,the Anti-Ship effectiveness of the AM39 Exocet could not be integrated.You can still fire the missile but it won't track towards anything.
 
IMPORTANT:
I HEREBY CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF THE CHANGES THIS MOD MAY RENDER TO YOUR GAME(Even though it doesn't).IF THIS MOD IS INSTALLED,THEN IT IS DONE ONLY BY THE WILL OF THE USER AND I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS.INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK.(The mod is perfectly safe,but I still claim no responsibility just to be safe!)
 
RELEASED UNDER COMBATACE FREEWARE LICENSE.CANNOT BE USED FOR ANY COMMERCIAL PURPOSES.
 
You are allowed to use this package for your own mod(s).Please give all credit to all the Original Authors whose work has been used here.

HELP NEEDED:

SF2 IDFAF C-130E Qarnaf Pak 6/10/2016

**This mod will -NOT- work in 1stGen game installs.**
 
Some small modifications, reskining/decaling of Del's C-130E Hercules transport aircrft, as used by the Israeli Defense Force.
 
This is a nationalized version of the aircrft for IDF-only use, and is designed for use only in SF2:I.
The aircraft carries the markings of No. 131 "Yellow Birds" squadron.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Serial & Modex numbers are 100% historically correct. There are no Hangar or Loading screens, but all sounds and pilot figures are provided.
 
When in-game, you'll see:
 
C-130E Qarnaf
 
displayed on the aircraft selection dropdown.
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for the install instructions.
 
Happy Landings!

SF2 IDFAF C-47 Skytrain Pak 6/10/2016
 
= For SF2:I (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED ) =
 
**You =MUST= have SF2I Expansion Pack 1 to have access to the stock 3W C-47!!!.**

Some small modifications, reskining/decaling of the stock 3rd Wire C-47 Skytrain/Dakota
transport aircrft, as used by the Israeli Defense Force. Be advised, THIS mod is designed
for use -ONLY- in your SF2:I mod's folder.
 
The package contains 2 skins for No. 103 "Flying Elephants" squadron Skytrains:
 
Brown/Blue camo (mid 1950s thru 1969)
Late 3 Tone Camo (1969-2001)
 
Skins are in original bmp format. The SF2 "date switch" is used, and the game will
automatically switch over to the late 3-tone in 1969. The Brown/Blue will start in 1955,
although research is not conslusive as to exactly when. For years predating that, they
seem be in an OD/Grey type of paint job (not the NM finish the Game Engine ™ uses).
 
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Serial & Modex numbers are 100%
historically correct. Both skins use the same 'pool' of number decals. There are no Hangar
or Loading screens, but all sounds and pilot figures are provided. Also included are the
cockpit (for those that haven't made it flyable yet) updated/revamped data, avionics, and
userlist inis. I've also given you my (patent-pending) "One Click Restore" main ini.
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest
of the readme for the install instructions.
 
Happy Landings!

Republic of China Air Force was the only allied air force to operate the F-100A model.
The first F-100 was delivered in October 1958. It was followed by 15 F-100As in 1959, and by 65 more F-100As in 1960.
In 1961, four unarmed RF-100As were delivered.
Additionally, 38 ex-USAF/Air National Guard F-100As were delivered later, to bring the total strength to 118 F-100As and four RF-100As.
F-100As were retrofitted with the F-100D vertical tail with its AN/APS-54 tail-warning radar and equipped to launch Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, and called F-100AD Rehab.
Several were lost in intelligence missions over the People's Republic of China.
