PLEASE READ THE README FILE INCLUDED !!!!!
The Northrop P-61 Black Widow, named for the venomous spider, was the first operational U.S. military aircraft designed specifically for night interception of opposing aircraft, and was the first aircraft specifically designed to use radar. The P-61 had a crew of three: pilot, gunner, and radar operator.
Like the original 1stGen Pak, this mod contains 2 complete aircraft:
P-61A
with 2 skins,
Olive Drab/Neutral Gray
and
Overall Black
The Black will become active using the "StartDefaultDate" switch.
P-61B
Overall Black
The P-61A does NOT have the top turret (as is historicaly correct). The P-61B DOES, and it will engage defensively (well, sorta offensively too) any E/A with range.
As a bonus, an 'experimental' version of the P-61A-1, WITH turret (but locked forward), and some engine modifications is included for those End Users with the skills and talents to try and dial in the WEP statements. The WEP is 'best guess', and historically was used on all Black Widow models (yes, the time IS correct! Right from the Pilot's Manual and other technical resources. But don't use it for longer than 5 minutes at a time!)

Hawker Typhoon Mk IB V2K
The Hawker Typhoon (Tiffy in RAF slang), was a British single-seat fighter-bomber, produced by Hawker Aircraft. It was designed to be a medium–high altitude interceptor, as a replacement for the Hawker Hurricane but several design problems were encountered and it never completely satisfied this requirement.

-=Parani Air Force Pack 1=-
***********************
*****by Centurion 1******
***********************
This pack adds a bunch of nation specifc, flyable aircraft that depicts the fictional Parani Air Force of the 1970s. All the skins are high-resolution and custom made for this. The baddies have never looked so good :) The fighters also have kill markings included.
Included are:
MiG-21MF*/PFM
Mirage 3 called PC
Mirage 5** called PD
Mirage F.1 (early type, Cyrano IV radar and no RWR. Inboard Atoll pylons included)
Su-7BMK
Tu-22
Il-28
and a skin for the Tu-22KD. The reason for this not being a nation specific variant is I cant make cruise missiles work for other nations than the Soviets.
The MiG-21s are based on the latest MiG-21 pack by Ataribaby and include the "hard" handling model.
*The MiG-21MF have provisions for mounting Matra550 Magic 1 IRMS, because of the poor performance of the Atolls. This was done IRL by the Iraqi air force in the 1980s. If you dont like it, feel free to edit it out.
**Converesly, the Mirage 5s have the possibility to mount WP IRMs and dumb ordnance, like the Libyan Mirage 5D
Installation:
Unzip to a mod folder of your choice. Suggested to use with Piecemeals excellent Desert 4 terrain.
Requirements:
MiG-21s, Il-28, Su-7, Tu-22: Any SF2 title more or less.

The Avro Lancaster is a British four-engined Second World War heavy bomber designed and built by Avro for the Royal Air Force (RAF). It first saw active service with RAF Bomber Command in 1942 and, as the strategic bombing offensive over Europe gathered momentum, it became the main heavy bomber used by the RAF, the RCAF, and squadrons from other Commonwealth and European countries serving within the RAF, overshadowing its close contemporaries the Handley Page Halifax and Short Stirling.The "Lanc", as it was affectionately known,thus became the most famous and most successful of the Second World War night bombers, "delivering 608,612 long tons of bombs in 156,000 sorties."

The Hawker Sea Fury was a British fighter aircraft developed for the Royal Navy by Hawker during the Second World War.
The last propeller-driven fighter to serve with the Royal Navy, it was also one of the fastest production single
piston-engined aircraft ever built.
Exported to a number of countries, it acquitted itself well in the Korean War even against the MiG-15 jet aircraft.

SF2 Lockheed RT-33A Shooting Star Pak by ErikGen 3/25/2014
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
This package contains a new aircraft for SF2. Originally part of the KAW F-80/T-33A/RF-80 pak, it somehow slipped under the radar (which Recon birds are supposed to do!!).
*Note: as this aircraft were built with the latest 3W exporter, it will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen Installs at any patch level.*
Like the other Shooting Stars, this is a complete pak with everything needed.
The skins included are:
USAF (Generic style markings)
Natural Metal (uses stock 3W decals; generic for everyone else)
Skins and damage textures are in DDS format. Decal randomization is TRUE.
The USAF skin uses painted on national marking, the "Natural Metal" does not; all marking will be decals. Generic "plane-in-group" decals reference stock 3W numbers.
Serial numbers are 100% historically correct for T-33s, but should be considered generic in nature, as they represent no particular unit or aircraft within a particular unit.
The "Generic NM" skin will be a good, blank canvas for other users to be created. All decal positions are pre-plotted on the included decals ini. Some adjustments may be necessary for specific country users, but that's a simple matter of creating a new, country specific skin and replotting the decal locations.
It's also know to me that Soulfreak has some other skins in the works; when released, these will be great additions for your flying pleasure!
Drop tanks are 'built in' to the aircraft lod; weapons folders for the drop tanks are included, as are the pilot figures and seat. As this is a recon bird, it's limited to ONLY RECON, and carries no weapons or guns of any kind.
The canopy is controlled via the Standard Animations Keystroke , Shift/0.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. There are "Operational Notations" with other impertinant data you should know.
Happy Landings!
