SF2 3W B-52D/F Upgrade/Mod Pack           9/28/2022
-For SF2 (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended =MUST= have SF2:V installed!!)-
This pack contains some mods to the stock 3rd Wire B-52D & the user made B-52F model "Stratofortress" as used by SAC during the 1950s through the 1980s. 
There are actually 3 aircraft in this pack; due to "oddities" with some loadouts, I found this was easier to do:
B-52D (57-64) nuclear strike
B-52D (64-83) conventional, with "Big Belly" mods
B-52F (58-78) conventional & Nukes. 
The F, while retaining is nuke abilities, is mostly for conventional iron bombing after 1965. 
Almost all markings are decals, with very few things painted on. All serial numbers are historically correct for the models depectied. BUT the D cereals should be considered 'generic' in nature as they represent no particular unit. The F serials, OTH, and the nose arts, are also correct, but not 'per squadron/wing'. It should be noted, the F gets all serials for the 89 aircraft produced. These are updated version of the originals issued in 2009. The D model gets all new decals, made for this mod.
Decal randomization is true. Most skins remain in their 1stGen bmp format. New sounds, effects, pilot/gunner figures, weapons, and hangar & loading screens. Various effects are included for the nuclear weapons. The SF2 date switch is used for some skins, and also in the loadout ini with year-specific loadouts. These aircraft are equipped with an "optical" bombsight for you perverts that inisist on flying the Heavies <g>. In each aircraft's folder is an instructional jpg on "how to". There are also different loadouts for conventional or nuke, accessable through the games' mission editor.
An example of the skin listing, from the 52F:
2nd BW >1964
7th BW (3960th BW) <1964
the >1964 (less than or 64 and eariler) and <1964 (after 1964 ie: 65 start date). This should give the general idear.
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! As always, =PLEASE= read the "Notes" section for various thoughts and musing on this mod. There might even be valuable data/information for you to find! ALL original readmes have been included, when discoverable.
Happy Landings!

SF2 UH-1B Huey Slick & Hog Remod Pack           9/14/2022
-For SF2 (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)-
This package contains remods of Pasko's 1stGen UH-1B helicopters, both the 'Slick' and 'Hog' gunships. These aircraft have been given unique name identifiers, as to not have the conflict with other mods of these same birds.
I've collected just about all the 1stGen skins I could find for these, and created all new decals for them. Where possible, and discoverable, any serial/BuNums associated with a particular unit have been marked with a star (*). All serials ARE historically correct for the models depicted. In the case of the Canadian Hueys, no "(*) star" is used as the 10 serials ARE the 100% historically correct ones. This mod depicts several models of the UH-1B that are visually "pretty close" to each other. In truth, their minor differences won't effect gameplay in any way, shape or form. These are the UH-1B, UH-1C and UH-1E. Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins.
UH-1B Slick ==
US Army; early and late skins (dark or lighter OD)
US Army Medevac: possibly representing 57th Medical Detachment
USMC : VM0-2 "Cherry Deuce" (used both Slicks & Hogs)
Canada: CF-118 3 skins covering their uses and from 1966 thru 1995 in their Search & Rescue and utility service.
UH-1B/C/E Hog ==
US Army; early and late skins (dark or lighter OD)
US Navy: HAL-3 Seawolves
USMC: HML-167 "Warriors, VMO-6 "Tomcats", 
The sF2 'date switch' is fully active, so watch for it. Also included are (finally) damage textures, a destroyed model, all weapons, sounds, pilot figures and so forth. The "275rocket" is a stock 3W item, and therefore not included. FM is relatively untouched (ie: "as is"), so be aware. I'm sure further refinements of the FM are needed.
On the aircraft selection drop-down menu, you'll see:
UH-1B/C/E Huey "Slick" (P)
UH-1B/C/E Huey "Hog" (P)
Obviously, the "P" stands for Pasko.
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! Also =PLEASE= read the "Notes" section for information about Nation assignment for the American birds. Where possible, ALL original readmes have been included.
Happy Landings!

Samurai, Headhunters, Panthers and Foxes
                                                    PACAF F-16C/Ds in the 1990s pt 1
PACAF started transitioning their F-16 fleet in the very early 1990s from the initial F-16A/B models to the more advanced C/D models. 8th Fighter Wing in Korea and 432d Fighter Wing in Japan received Block 30 versions while the 18th Fighter Squadron in Alaska recieved the Block 40s. These units participated in many of the actions the USAF was involved in; including Deny Flight detachments in USAFE's AOR and no fly zone operations over Iraq.

Included
F-16C and D,  Blocks 30 and 40
various period specific weapons and pilots
various ini edits to match the era
new hangar and loading screens

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: The D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models.the best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters. The load outs are the same so you will be
able to load them out easy

ravenclaw_007                              F-16D Block 32
various period specific weapons and pilots
various ini edits to match the era
new hangar and loading screens
NOTE 1: The B and D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. the best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters rather than as a flight of their own. The loadouts are the same so you will be able to load the same weapons.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
NOTE 2: The F-16A Block 10s do not have corresponding B models at this time. The existing  Generation 1 models in my opinion need more work than is feasible to bring them to SF2 standards. There are entries in the numbers.lst for B models in the event a new Block 10 two seater becomes available.
************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
LOADING SCREEN NOTE: I will be including various loading screens with the diferent packs available. 
different load screens will be available within each aircraft ini
if you already had a different version and prefer that one, simply remove the "//" from the one you want and add to the one without.

Charlie Vipers on Guard     Part 3: Block 40/42s in the 90s

This mod is the thrid of three to represent the various versions of the F-16C/D in US Air National Guard service during the 1990s. It was a busy time with potential conflicts in Korea and active operations ongoing over Iraq and the Balkans. This mod aims to show the
units as they were at that time.
Included
Team Viper F-16C Block 40 and 42
new F-16D Block 40 and 42 models
various period specific weapons and pilots
various ini edits to match the era
********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
NOTE: The D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. The best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters.
The load outs are the same so you will be able to load teh same weapons.
***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
SECOND NOTE: The 124th FS Skin in the Block 40 does only have one serial. This unit only had one Block 40 for a short time before it went to Europe. This serial (89-2032) was the same aircraft that CPT Scott O'Grady
was shot down in June 1995.
