Harbin H-5 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire Il-28 'Beagle' to create the reverse engineered Harbin H-5 copy. As the PLAAF also operated the Il-28 I've set the service dates to match those given for the stock Third Wire Il-28 (for China) but the Chinese H-5 programme was a slow starter
and it didn't enter service until 1967.
Generic markings with new serial numbers based on the photo of '83002' with a painted radome are included and please note that this mod uses Wrench's F-4B pit for pasko's Yak-25B 'Brewer' so it should work with any version of SF2 that has medium length runways.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the H-5 folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the H-5 folder into your main Decals folder.
3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_PLAAF folder into your main Pilots folder.
That's it!

CREDITS
Thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
Thanks to Wrench for the Brewer cockpit.
Thanks also to whoever did the excellent PLAAF pilot (let me know and I'll gladly give credit).
And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

McDonnell Douglas F-4EZ Phantom for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-4E_78 to create a fictional South African Air Force F-4EZ Phantom in service with No.2 Squadron in the following schemes and timeframes;
1. 1979-1981 A 'Mirage F.1CZ' style scheme with tricolour fin and 'Springbok' national markings.
2. 1982-2002 As above but with the later style of national markings.
3. 2003-2012 Final Grey scheme with toned-down national markings.
It goes without saying that you must have the F-4E_78 LOD's in your install and you'll also need the Mirage 3CZ DLC for the V3B Kukri and serial number decals although there are some easy workarounds if you don't. 
The idea for this 'what if' came from Stratos who created the 'Mirage F.1CZ' style skin whilst I did the tank skins, decals and packaging so it's an Anglo-Spanish joint venture and we hope that you enjoy it!

BACKSTORY
During the mid-1970's the South African Government made tentative enquiries regarding purchasing the McDonnell Douglas Phantom for the South African Air Force (SAAF) with no success but in February 1977 the incoming Democrat President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, and the South African State President Nicolaas Diederichs agreed to the purchase of 30 F-4EZ's for delivery in 1979 and these were among the very last St. Louis-built Phantoms produced.
Entering service with No.2 Squadron 'The Flying Cheetahs' of the SAAF the F-4EZ's initially operated from Hoedspruit AFB before moving to Louis Trichardt AFB in early 1993. With SAAF Impalas, Buccaneers and Mirage F.1CZ's operating in the ground-attack role the Phantoms saw limited action in the Border War but at least four Angolan MiG-21's and two Mi-17 helicopters were shot down by No.2 Squadron. The surviving F-4EZ's were finally retired in 2019 when they replaced by Eurofighter Typhoons.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-4EZ folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-4EZ folder into your main Decals folder.
3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the V3B4 folder into your main Weapons folder. 
That's it!

Thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
Muchas gracias to Stratos for the superb SAAF 'Mirage F.1CZ' style skin created with a little bit of help from Ludo on SAAF colours and Sundowner's legendary F-4E templates - thanks guys!

Mikoyan MiG-21bis 'Paran' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire MiG-21bis to create a fictional export version in service with the Parani Air Force during 1978-2002. The skin is by Paulopanz and I've added a matching drop tank and a fictional Parani missile named 'Zulfiqar' (basically a license-built version of the R.550 Matra Magic) with a matching skin. It goes without saying that you must have the stock MiG-21bis in your install but the skin could be renamed to fit most other stock MiG-21's.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the MiG-21bisP folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the MiG-21bisP folder into your main Decals folder.
3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_PARAN folder into you main Pilots folder.
4. From the SOUNDS folder drag and drop the SOVIET_DRY and SOVIET_WET files into your main Sounds folder.
5. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the TANK_MiG21BISP and ZULFIQAR folders into your main Weapons folder.
That's it!

Version 2 - 29/01/19  

Reworked pack of F-101A and C VooDoo.
Generally old good VooDoo in new dresses.
There are some small changes in data.ini files mostly in weapon stations section - so Backup your original file. You might not like it.
 
Despite VooDoo is extremely sexy aircraft it is much useless. Unfortunately. It was designed to be something different but had to serve in a totally different role. Nuclear Strike Aircraft. 
Because I'm always doing mods my way - to fit my needs. I wanted to have squadrons that used  "fighting 101". So the thing is...this is one aircraft -  because squadrons contained a mix of A and C versions and this aircraft had very limited use I decided to make one aircraft to cover both A and C version.
By default, I used A version limits.   Anyway, differences were only in the internal structure of airframe. 
Airframe 54-1491 served as CO aircraft in 27th TFW. So in the early sixties, it will pop up in special markings for 78th, 91st, and 92nd squadrons. 
If you want separate aircraft A and C you will have to do it on your own. Decals/serials for C are marked in numbers.lst with 'dot' .  
 
All new skins in 3072x3072 resolution. New bump maps and specular maps. also in 3072.. plus decals to cover A and C models serial numbers.
Pack contains 11 skin sets for early use by 27th TFW and then 81st TFW - all squadrons that ever used F-101A / C  (from different time periods to cover years of usage).
All new decals consisting of 95 serial numbers for block 20-35 of A version and block  40-55 for C version. 

Backup your original F-101 Folders. Also Decals!
Pack also includes the Mk.7 Tactical Nuclear Bomb.  New model quickly made for purposes of this pack. 
 
And an extra thing for squadron/wing geeks - set of skins for squadron hack. 
 
Credits:
Original models ErikGen
yakarov - skins / decals / some small ini tweak / Mk.7 model
Soulfreak - original skin for an extra thing. 
 
Have Fun.
May the VooDoo be with you.
