SF2 WW2/Post-War Lockheed P-38L Lightning 4/9/2014
-- Something for, well, Anyone! --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
Some mods for Wolf257's P-38L Lightning give you a version for late WW2 and the early Post War Time frame.
While keeping the standard WW2 start date, the service time has been extended to include some use by the newly formed USAF (post October, 1947). Meaning, retirement date is December 1949 (approximately true!). This is =NOT= a "What If..." aircraft.
2 skins are included, both are in Natural Metal. They're names are:
NM (a generic type, with plane-in-group numbers)
USAF (with post-1947 markings)
There are no squadron or unit markings for either skin. There is litterally NO data available.
The NM skin can be used pretty much anywere for WW2. The USAF skin will automtically "switch on" in 10/1947.
All new skins (now with rivets!!) are in jpg format. Both aircraft use a 'pool' of Serial numbers and they should be considered 'generic' in nature, but ARE for the model variant depicted. The post-1947 skin has the addition of "Buzz Numbers", that have the correct letter prefix assigned to P-38s
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All weapons, sounds, and a pilot figure are included. Both skins have individual Hangar Screens.
When in game, you'll see:
P-38L Lightning (Post War) (w)
This, and the folder being name "P-38L_pw" will seperate it from any WW2 types you may have. The "PW" is for "Post War". The "W" is for Wolf, further diferentiating this from other Lightnings that you may or may not have.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!
Good Hunting!

SF2 AD-4W/AEW.1 "Guppy" 4/1/2014
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
**Note: Actually, SF2NA is actually -REQUIRED- in merged installs, due to NA coding used for
this aircraft's operational statements. It is also HIGHLY SUGGESTED!! that this be
=ONLY= used in the NA envrionment (read: in SF2:NA only). It was tested only in the
NA environment, but there are a few issues (see Notes below).***
A rebuild of MontyCZ's A-1H Skyraider give us the AD-4W "Guppy" Naval Airborne Early
Warning aircraft of the 1950s.
Included are 4 skins, representing the aircrft from 1950 through 1960. They are:
USN:
VC-11
USMC:
VMC-1
British Royal Navy (AEW.1)
No 849 Naval Air Squadron; in 'normal' garb
No 849 NAS, HMS Albion, during the Suez Crisis (with Suez 'Invasion Stripes')
The USN/USMC skins use a painted on fueselage national marking (not enough meshes
for all decals); All other markings are decals. All aircraft are in 'standard' Dark
Gloss Navy Blue. For the RN skins, ALL markings are decals. Serial numbers are 100%
historically accurate for the model depicted, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. As
there is no possible way to run down the US serials, they should be considered
'generic' in nature.
However, you may experience some 'unusual' shuffling' of the CV and Flight letter
codes on the Royal Navy (non Suez) skin. Further explinations for this are in the
'Notes' Section. The Suez skin depicts 849's "C" flight as embarked during Operation
Musketeer, and are 100% correct.
Skins remain in lo-rez bmp format, but new DDS damage textures are supplied (just in
case). Each skins has it's own hangar screen.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included.
So, please read them. As mentioned above, give the "Notes" section a read too.
Happy Landings!

In this new release from Banidos Team, we are proud to introduce the first FAA's Deltas, that arrived to Argentina in 1972. Just as the Nesher,
it isn't an easy plane to fly, never attempt turns below 300km/h if there is not enough energy.
The package contains new drop tanks and a new detailed model of Matra R-530 missile, in its two versions, semi-active radar guidance and IR.
About effects you'll realize when you reach Mach 1 that the famous round halo around the plane is generated, it remains only at that speed.
This model uses TW's Shahack cockpit from SF2I.
INSTALLATION:
Extract the contents of this file and place it in the Mods folder of your SF2I or full merged install.

3D-ini: Aleducat
Skin: Torno
Any problem contact us at CombatAce.
"What if" RAF version of the Avro Arrow, no internal weapons, weapons carried on [new] wing pylons.
Original model made by Fastcargo...........thanks m8.
Added a Hotfix for an issue with the cockpit gauges.....thanks to Coupi for fixing this.
In order to provide an urgent counter to the air incursions, with Saudi towns close to the border being bombed by Egyptian aircraft, an additional interim contract, called "Magic Carpet", was placed in March 1966 for the supply of six ex-RAF Lightnings (four F.2s and two T.4 trainers, redesignated F.52 and T.54 respectively), six Hawker Hunters, two air defence radars and a number of Thunderbird surface-to-air missiles.The "Magic Carpet" Lightnings were delivered to Saudi Arabia in July 1966, with an additional F.52 being delivered in May 1967 to replace a Lightning lost in an accident.
Lightning F.52 Slightly modified ex-RAF F.2 single-seat fighters for export to Saudi Arabia (5 converted - 4 in service).
Lightning F.53, otherwise known as the Export Lightning, developed as a private venture by BAC; while the Lighning had originated as an interception aircraft, this version was to have a multirole capability for quickly interchanging between interception, reconnaissance, and ground-attack duties.The F.53 was based on the F.6 airframe and avionics, including the large ventral fuel tank, cambered wing and overwing pylons for drop tanks of the F.6, but incorporated an additional pair of hardpoints under the outer wing. These hardpoints could be fitted with pylons for air-to-ground ordnance, including two 1,000 lb (450 kg) bombs or four SNEB rocket pods each carrying 18 68 mm rockets. A gun pack carrying two ADEN cannon and 120 rounds each could replace the forward part of the ventral fuel tank.[20][nb 1] Alternative, interchangeable packs in the forward fuselage carried two Firestreak missiles, two Red Top missiles, twin retractable launchers for 44× 2-inch rockets, or a reconnaissance pod fitted with five 70 mm Type 360 Vinten cameras. (35 to RSAF; 12 to KAF)
WHAT's IN:
- 2 planes (F.52 from Spinners & F.53 from Tk/TW) enhanced
- 3 RSAF New Silver Skins for F.52 & decalsets
- 5 RSAF New Silver Skins for F.53 & decalsets

Fictional Mod of Bongodrivers fantastic EF-2000 to create a plane for the iraqi air force. It includes modifications according to Trench 3.
BACKGROUND
After three conflicts with heavy losses, the iraqi air force got almost completely destroyed. The fall of Saddam Hussein and the political system turning from dictatorship to democracy made it necessary to accept foreign help in reconstructing the country. This also meant the rebuilding of the air force.
In this matter, a meeting of actual british prime minister and his colleague in the iraqi government took place in London, where a contract was meant to be signed about the purchase of 60 new, to the needs of the iraqi air force adapted, Typhoons. The modifications were, among others:
- added CFTs on the fuselage for the enhancement of the range
- highly upgraded ECM and electronic warfare systems
- modified engines with higher thrust
- use of western armament
The most important upgrade, the CFTs, were necessary due to the fact that the Al I'ssars (iraqi for Typhoon) had to takeoff from Bagdad and Al Sahra and had to travel a long way before reaching their patrolling routes.
Along with the Typhoons, Iraq signed a contract with Russia for the purchase of 60 Super Flanker with the designation SU-35IQ Asifat al Turab (Sandstorm).
Features :
- CFTs by teras
- Desert camouflage skin by nazghul
- new radar by teras
- new ecm systems by teras
- carrier based
- imporved engines by nazghul
- improved flight model " FM " by teras
note : this is not a new set it is only improvments and upgrades for the original ef-2000
Note 2 : this is SF2 & SF2V & SF2E & SF2I addons ( didn't tried it on SFP1 )
note 3 : *** for very long range strike operations ( 600 NM and Longer ) loading external fuel tank recommended!

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 a lot 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.
have fun

SF2 AD-4N/NA Skyraider, Armée de l'Air 4/3/2014
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED, at Latest Patch Level =
*At minimum, SF2:V is required, as this mod references the stock 3W A-1H lods.*
**Note: It is also =REQUIRED= you be at the lates (7/2013) SF2 patch level. The data ini supplied is FROM this last patch level. Those End Users NOT up to speed, may experience visual oddities on the aircraft, as some things have been changed over the last few patchs. No support is, or will be availalbe, to those End Users.**
This mod represents Skyraiders as used by the AdA in the early 1960s, and will give you a new, nationalized aircraft.
The aircrft represented here is from:
EC 3/20 "Oranie"
as seen in Algeria in the early 1960s.
All skins are in jpg format. All markings, excepting the squadron color bands, are decals. Recal randomization is TRUE. The aircraft BuNums are 100% correct for those Skyraiders in French service, but should be considered "generic" in nature as they do not represent any individual aircraft in any particular squadron.
The canopy opens with the Standard Animatin Keystroke, Shift/0.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read,
Happy Landings!
