Ace Combat Nations
December 13th, 2020 (1st Release)
by Menrva
>For Strike Fighters 2 games
This mod is a fork of my nations expansion mod of the stock ThirdWire _nations.ini file. It includes only the nations and respective aviation services of the Ace Combat universe, AKA Strangereal. All roundels are based on official sources and references from all Ace Combat games. Here below a summary of the included services:
-Generic Mercenary faction, using the logo of Ace Combat's developer, Project ACES, as insignia.
-Osean Air Defense Force and Osean Maritime Defense Force (as seen in Ace Combat 5, Ace Combat Zero and Ace Combat 7).
-Yuktobanian Air Force and Yuktobanian Navy (as seen in Ace Combat 5).
-Erusean Air Force and Erusean Navy (as seen in Ace Combat 04 and Ace Combat 7).
-Free Erusea Air Force (available since 2006, as seen in Ace Combat 04, Ace Combat 5 and Ace Combat 7).
-Independent State Allied Forces Air Force and Independent State Allied Forces Navy (available since 2003 until 2006, as seen in Ace Combat 04 and Ace Combat 5).
-International Union Peacekeeping Force (available since 2007, as seen in Ace Combat 7).

-Federation of Central Usea Air Force and Federation of Central Usea Navy (as seen in Ace Combat 8).
-Sotoan Air Force and Sotoan Navy (as seen in Ace Combat 8).
Other aviation services are known to exist in Strangereal, such as the Rectan Air Force, FATO Air Force and Valka Royal Air Force. However, there are no info concerning such countries with no established flag and culture at the moment. Those are not included in the mod for the time being.
This mod removes the Real World aviation services included in Strike Fighters 2, as such it is not compatible with any mod out of the box. Modders and users are advised to tweak _userlist.ini files and _data.ini files for aircraft and ground objects, to make use of the new services added by this mod.

-nuni, for his suggestions and other Ace Combat themed mods.
-Astore, for his support and for being one of the few Italian Ace Combat fans like me.
-RythusOmega, for providing all Ace Combat 7 emblems, reworked for use in this mod.

ALL work by ME ( Sundowner ) is now no longer covered by the CombatAce Freeware Licensing agreement.
What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it unless it is part of a full terrain package but you still need to ask me first for permission.
A collection of 40+ buildings, hangars etc.
All these objects my own work, they may not be 100% historically accurate, if that is really important to you don't bother to download them.
They have been made by looking at photos of the actual structures and sometimes a little "artistic licence " has been used to keep frame rates down etc.
Any missing textures or whatever just let me know..
As always read the Read Me.

OK, what we have here are a collection of static aircraft that I've made up myself either from existing max files that I've been involved in before. Or converted from the old Alphasim freeware stuff.
ALL maps and textures are made by myself.
All markings are painted on.
Read the Read Me.

This is just a small part of a whole lot of Terrain Objects I've made over the last few years, they are all created and painted by myself either using the original max files or started from scratch.
Please read the read me...................it's for your benefit.
During installation if you get asked to overwrite something STOP !! Cancel the installation and rename the files causing the conflict.
My work is no better than anybody else's so I'm dead against replacing other folks hard work. Having a choice is nice.
Have fun.
I have worked on Veltro2K's excellent B-17G so that its nose turret can move and fire. I hope you like it.
Backup yuor data ini and drop this file in the aircraft folder.
Thanks to Wrech , and credits to
Veltro2K for the aircraft
gregoryp for the AvHistory engine sound
Kesselbrut for the cockpit
Flogger23 for the natural metal skin
wrench ini working, and OD skin, decals and screens and whatnots; including hundreds of hours of research
Others I'm sure I'm forgetting....Like say in the file.
