Lockheed F-104H Starfighter for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-104G to create a fictional F-104H in service with the Fuerza Aérea Argentina in the 1968-2006 timeline and with markings for;
Grupo 8 (SEA Camo)
Grupo 6 (Lo-Viz Grey N.B. StartDefaultDate=1983)
Grupo 4 (Green/Grey Camo)
BACKSTORY
During the Spring of 1965 the Fuerza Aérea Argentina formally issued an operational requirement for a supersonic fighter-bomber to supplement and eventually replace it's F-86 Sabre force and to operate alongside the Douglas Skyhawks that were just entering service. The BAC Lightning was quickly ruled out as being short on range and undeveloped in the air-to-ground role and by the end of 1965 Fuerza Aérea Argentina officials declared that the choice was between the Dassault Mirage III and the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. Lockheed had proposed a new variant, the F-104H, a projected export version based on the F-104G but with an optical gunsight and simplified equipment. Following a visit by Lockheed representatives to the Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires in early July 1966 the newly inaugurated President Juan Carlos Onganía announced that 36 F-104H's would be procured for the Fuerza Aérea Argentina. Entering service in March 1968 with Grupo 8 de Caza at the Military Air Base Mariano Moreno the F-104H's served until 2006 when the last Starfighters operating anywhere in the world were finally retired.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-104H folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-104H folder into your Decals folder.
That's it! I've kept the loadouts to basic stock weapons but if you have Argentine weapons in your install then it's worth editing the F-104H_Loadout.ini to suit what you have.

As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.

SF2 NAA B-45A & B-45C Pack by Veltro2k 3/16/2021
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
"Quarantine Approved - Essential Mods"
This is the release of the North American B-45 "Tornado" light jet bomber. This was the first jet bomber in USAF service, and the 1st one (USAF) with 4 jet engines.
There are 2 aircraft in this package, all representing aircraft from the 47th Bomb Wing, as stationed in the UK in the early to mid 1950s. Please note, these are the BOMBER version =ONLY=. In this you have:
B-45A:
86th Bomb Squadron
B-45C:
85th Bomb Squadron
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All serial numbers are 100% historically accurate. On the "A" model's number list any marked with a star (*) have been 100% matched to the 86th BS, those without, while serving in the 47th BW, could not be matched to a specific squadron.
As there were only 10 "C" bomber variants built, I've assigned them to the 85th; in Real Life (tm) only a few C's made it to squadron service, and those were intermixed with the A's already in service.
All necessary parts have been provided, with one caveat. The Mk.7 (61kt) nuclear bomb dose =NOT= include the nuke explosion effect. As there are several around, you End Users (tm) may need to do some editing/renaming. I use the one from the Gunny Ordinance Pack.
The skin template is included, as are the templates for the tail and nose squadron color flashes.
As another B-45 exists from "elsewhere", these 2 have been differentiated in their Displayed Name on the aircraft Drop Down Selector. You'll see:
B-45A Tornado (V2K)
and
B-45C Tornado (V2K)
This shows it Veltro's build, even if you don't/can't get "the other one".
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!!! Also, please read the "Notes" for other info, and some operational suggestions.
Happy Landings!

Lockheed Starfighter F.3 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a simple mod of the stock F-104G to create a fictional Starfighter F.3 in service with the Royal Air Force in the 1980-1991 timeline and it includes markings for No.29 Squadron and No.56 Squadron with 18 contemporary serial numbers shared between them.
BACKSTORY
Delays in the UK's Tornado ADV programme lead to the RAF upgrading 38 Lockheed Starfighter FGR.2's to a new F.3 standard featuring the uprated J79-GE-19 engine (developing 12,000lbs dry thrust and 17,900lbs with afterburner) and the improved NASARR R-21G/H radar with moving target indicator and continuous wave illuminator for the Skyflash semi-active radar homing missile. Entering service with No.29 Squadron in 1980 the Starfighter F.3's remained in service until 1991.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the StarfighterF3 folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the StarfighterF3 folder into your Decals folder.
That's it!

Version 1 - 21/03/2021
Adaptation of the original Add-on to work on SF2, Thirdwire second generation.
Includes all the original files by Mirage Factory, adapted weapons, and skins, along with several aggresor skins by wpnssgt
Readme included
After successful operations of the An-24T tactical transport in austere locations, interest in a version with a retractable cargo ramp increased. Initial studies for he retractable ramp were carried out as part of the projected An-40 medium transport.
When given the go-ahead for the An-26 in March 1968, the Antonov OKB adapted the ramp design of the An-40 to the An-24 fuselage, resulting in the An-26. Particular attention was given to the military mission, and the majority of early An-26 production was delivered to the VTA (voyenno-transportnaya aviatsiya).
Using the majority of the An-24 airframe, with its high-set cantilevered wings, twin turboprops and stalky main undercarriage, the An-26 included military equipment, such as tip-up paratroop canvas seats, an overhead traveling hoist, bulged observation windows and parachute static line attachment cables. The An-26 made its public debut at the 27th Paris Air Show at Le Bourget where the second prototype, CCCP-26184 (c/n00202), was shown in the static aircraft park.
The An-26 is also manufactured without a license agreement in China by the Xian Aircraft factory as the Y-14, later changed to be included in the Xian Y7 series.

SF2 Handley Page HP.67 Hastings by Veltro2k & Co. 2/14/2021
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
"Quarantine Approved - Essential Mods"
This is the release of the Handley Page HP.67 Hastings transport/cargo aircraft as used by the Royal Air Force from the late 1940s through the early 1960s. This version represents the C.1A & C.2 models.
All markings are decals,and decal randomization is TRUE. All serial numbers are 100% historicaly correct. As none of serials represent any particular aircraft from any specific unit, they should be considered 'generic' in nature. However, I've assigned the aircraft to No.99 Squadron "Madras Presidency", as they recieved them in 1949, and are fairly representative of other Transport Command Squadrons. All sounds, pilot figures, hangar and loading screens are provided.
The cargo bay doors are activated by the 'bomb bay' keystroke.
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.
Happy Landings!
