JGSDF Vehicle Pack 1
This is a package of 18 ground objects for the Japan Ground Self Defense Force, representing many of the significant combat vehicles from the 1970s to present. Four additional non-Japanese variants are included as a bonus, for a total of 22 distinct ground objects. All-new guns and missiles are included.
Note that these are all new models and not stand-ins or re-skins of existing ones. While they are relatively low-poly and low-res, if there is sufficient demand, I will update these models with more detail and improved textures at some point in the future.
Featured JGSDF vehicles include:
Type 74 MBT: Cold war era tank armed with a 105mm L7 gun
Type 90 MBT: Modern tank equipped with a 120mm gun, composite armor and advanced electronics
Type 87 Recon: Modern 6-wheeled armored recon vehicle with excellent sensors and a rapid-fire 25mm gun
Type 89 IFV: Modern armored infantry fighting vehicle with a 35mm autocannon and anti-tank missiles
Type 73 APC: Cold war era tracked APC
Type 96 APC A: Modern 8-wheeled APC (automatic grenade launcher)
Type 96 APC B: Modern 8-wheeled APC (heavy machine gun)
Type 87 AAA: Mobile anti-aircraft vehicle with twin 35mm guns
Type 93 SAM: Mobile short-range SAM
Type 75 MRL: Cold war era 130mm rocket launcher
Type 75 SPA: Cold war era 155mm mobile howitzer
Type 99 SPA: Modern 155mm mobile howitzer
Type 96 MPMS: Truck-mounted multi-purpose missile system designed to defeat tanks and landing craft
M110 SPA: License-built version of cold war era 203mm howitzer
M270J MLRS: License-built version of the US 227mm rocket launcher
L-90 AAA: License-built variant of the Swiss 35mm towed AAA system
Komatsu LAV: Modern light armored truck
Komatsu LAV-AT: LAV equipped with anti-tank missile launcher
International vehicles include:
GDF-001: Popular Swiss 35mm towed AAA system; used by many countries
GDF-002: Upgraded 35mm towed AAA system; used by many countries
M270 MLRS: US 227mm rocket launcher
M270A1 GMLRS: US 227mm GPS-guided rocket launcher
Two texture sets, default camo and green, are included for each vehicle. (US MLRS are Green and Tan instead.)
Additional vehicle packs for the JGSDF, ROK, and PLA may follow if this mod is well-received. (Don't worry, I'll still keep on making ships.)
These ground objects are recommended for use with Wrench's latest Korea terrain, as well as Kamchatka and other East-Asian theaters. Please see the readme for full details. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this package, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

Realistic SA-6 Gainful / 2K12 Kub SAM Pack
By tiopilotos
SF2 Realistic SA-6 Gainful / 2K12 Kub SAM Pack 1.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This pack features the SA-6 SAM system. It is a mobile low to medium-level air defense
system, designed to protect ground forces from air attacks. Following variants are included:
2K12 Kub (SA-6, 1967) - The first Kub version exported to Middle East and other
Third World countries.
2K12M1 Kub-M1 (SA-6, 1973) - Upgraded version exported to Warsaw Pact countries.
2K12M3 Kub-M3 (SA-6, 1976) - Final modification exported to Warsaw Pact and some
other countries.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New features:
- More realistic search/track ranges along with search/track times for StraightFlush radar
- Launchers can perform 360 degree rotation and now all battery launchers can point at the
target
- Corrected missile parameters
- Fuze distances were increased and thus a hit is not a guaranteed kill. Also it has impact on
the near pass with no detonation situation. With longer fuze distances, missiles will detonate
sooner and there will be at least some damage if not a kill
- Repainted missile skins
- New launch effect and sound
- Dramatically improved performance
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known issues:
- Due to game engine limitations mobile SAM batteries can not move with other ground units
and thus offensive ground forces will be exposed to enemy air attacks.
- Fire control radar can guide only one missile against a single target. Real SA-6 system
could guide two missiles against a single target.
- Missiles can fly longer at low altitudes as they tend to reach the Missile Duration time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS:
You must have installed any SF2 title which will feature the stock SA-6 system.
I think that SF2, SF2E and SF2I have it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As always open readme.txt first to see installation instructions and credits.
Lot of research and hard work was made to make this SAM as realistic as possible.
Enjoy as much as you can this SAM and leave comments with your in-game experience

SA-3 Goa / S-125 Neva SAM Pack
By tiopilotos
SF2 SA-3 Goa / S-125 Neva SAM Pack 1.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The S-125 Neva / SA-3 Goa Surface to Air Missile system was developed to supplement
the S-75 Dvina / SA-2 Guideline in Soviet and Warsaw Pact service. The SA-2 Guideline
was designed to provide medium to high altitude air defence coverage, primarily against
bomber aircraft. As such it was not well suited to the engagement of low flying targets,
especially fighter aircraft and cruise missiles. The SA-3 has shorter effective range and
lower engagement altitude than its predecessor and also flies slower but due to its two-stage
design it is more effective against more maneuverable targets. It is also able to engage
lower flying targets and being more modern it is much more resistant to ECM than the SA-2.
The system was widely exported and has been used in a number of conflicts, most notably:
War of Attrition
Yom Kippur War
South African Border War
Iran - Iraq War
Lebanon War
Gulf War
Kosovo War
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the first version of the complete system pack. The following variants are featured:
S-125 Neva (SA-3A, 1961) - The first Neva variant. Limited export.
Volna (SA-N-1A, 1963) - The first naval variant. Available only for SF2NA.
Volna-M (SA-N-1B, 1967) - Improved naval variant. Available only for SF2NA.
S-125M Neva-M (SA-3B, 1970) - The standard Neva version with significant
improvements over the first variant. Widely exported.
Volna-P (SA-N-1B+, 1974) - Further modernization. Available only for SF2NA.
S-125M1 Neva-M1 (SA-3B+, 1978) - Upgrade for S-125M. Many S-125M operators
received this modernization in the '80s.
Volna-N (SA-N-1C, 1980) - Final modification. Available only for SF2NA.
S-125-2M Pechora-2M (2006) - Modern upgrade which included anti-stealth
capability, improved performance against heavy jamming and new missiles with
extended range.
* Since the early 2000s a number of manufacturers have built upgraded versions of the
system to make it more attractive to operators which used the cold war versions.
These upgraded versions have different characteristics in terms of mobility, jamming
resistance, missile range etc and thus for simplicity reasons only one "basic" upgraded
version (Pechora-2M) is included.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New features:
- Fire control radars have been set to their instrumented ranges
- PRV-11 Side Net radar was added to offer early warning detection. Originally PRV-11
was a height finder radar but since we lack Low Blow, Flat Face is being used as the
fire control radar and Side Net as early warning radar
- Launchers can perform 360 degree rotation and now all battery launchers can point
at the target
- More realistic missile ballistics
- Fuze distances were increased and thus a hit is not a guaranteed kill
- New launch effect and sound
- Guidance was changed from Beam Rider to Semi Active Radar Homing. The basic
type of guidance for SA-3 requires target tracking in azimuth, elevation and range and
when launched, the missile flies to a pre-calculated impact point, receiving signals from
the fire control radar. This type is similar to Semi Active Radar Homing
- Dramatically improved performance especially in low altitude
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things that need to be done:
- High resolution missile skins
- Low Blow model so that we can use the original SA-3 radar instead of Flatface
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known issues:
- Fire control radar can guide only one missile against a single target. Real SA-3 system
could guide two missiles against a single target.
- Fire control radar of Pechora-2M can track only one target during each engagement.
Real Pechora-2M fire control radar could track and engage two targets at the same time.
- Due to game engine limitations concerning the structure of enemy SAM sites,
each SA-3 site will appear with 6 launchers. Real system had 4 launchers.
- Missiles can fly longer at low altitudes as they tend to reach the missile duration time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REQUIREMENTS:
You must have installed SF2 North Atlantic to use the stock missile model otherwise
you need to use the 3rd party models (included here).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATED NATIONS LIST
This is an updated NATIONS list.
I included as much nations and services as I could.
I disactivated the active dates, so no more planes with <none> air force as it was happening when the service dates are before the active date.
I modified also the 'PilotTrainingStandard' for some nations.
Examples:
Now the SOVIET is 'excellent' as it should have been in the first place.
AFRES, ANG and USArmy are 'normal', not 'excellent'.
This is a tough decision to make, because the pilot training standard improved or deteriorated during the course of time.
So people should adjust it according to the expansion pack/campaign that they are using.
Examples:
Russia should be POOR in the 1990s, NORMAL in the 2000s and EXCELLENT in the 2010s.
Iran should be POOR until around 2000, afterwards NORMAL.
Iraq should be NORMAL until 1992, afterwards POOR.
Also, I forgot to mention, all speech files have been adjusted for the speech pack, sometimes not exactly accurate e.g.
Switzerland uses German and Bulgaria Russian, but surely more appropriate than USAF speech!
Enjoy.
v1.1 changes
- Mercenary Alignment modified to MERCENARY and Pilot Training Standard modified from EXCELLENT to NORMAL.
- South Korea Pilot Training Standard modified from POOR to NORMAL.
However, if you intend to fly a Korean War period campaign for 1950 ONLY, modify it back to POOR.
- Duplicate entry of United States Army Aviation deleted.
- Iceland is added as a nation, useful for SF2NA campaigns.
- Russian Navy name changed to its Russian one.
v1.1a changes
- The Iraqi 'PilotTrainingStandard' changed from 'normal' to 'poor'.
- Turkish speech is back to USAF speech by request of Emre.
v1.2 changes
- Added the Vietnam People's Air Force of wazalo68
- Added the United States Coast Guard of Sheriff001

So the FM is finally corrected, the empty weights are now correct, as well as many minor other changes in order to make ir more realistic.
Don't be fooled, I did A LOT of research and a lot of BETA testing. When I had no definite data, I calculated, so some data are estimations.
For proving my point, I include a 4vs4 mission, Turkish F-16D Block 50+ (the heaviest Viper in service) against USAF aggressors.
Why v0.9? There are some planes missing. These are TW planes, as well as israeli -A models, egyptian, jordanian, UAE, thai, indonesian & singaporian planes.
EDIT:
As it turned out, these should be released in a vol.2
Requests:
I hope someone would make hi-res skins for all these nations mentioned above as well for the early -A models of the four european nations.
Also a proper lod for the taiwanese block 20.
Logfile changes
-------
v1.0
- Added the fabulous F-16A ADF AMI of dtmdragon, deleted the old F-16A AMI
- The mission now is on more even terms, both F-16s have now the same loadout.
-------
v2.0
- Added the following planes
F-16A_Blk10-EAF
F-16A_Blk10-IDF
F-16A_Netz_87
F-16B_Blk15-NDC
F-16B_Netz_87
- Now these planes are complete
F-16C_B40_egy
F-16C_B52+_egy
F-16D_B30
F-16D_B30_agr
F-16D_B30_gk
F-16D_B52+_egy
The Egyptian block 40 is based on the Turkish one, the block 52+ on the Polish.
- Reworked DATA.INI for ALL planes. Mostly, but not only, reworked engine and weight data.
- Four new missions are added. F-16 vs F-16, these missions are indeed very exciting.
Known issues: The F-16D block 30 skins should be tweaked a bit to represent a 100% proper -D block 30 skin.
CREDITS:
Effects/Sounds/LODS/Skins - Dave/The Viper Team
F110 effects only - Fast Cargo < The new, proper F110 effects possibly again by Fast Cargo. If not, please verify.
The egyptian skin - mohand777
The F110 engine sound, I was not able to trace. Pls PM for any feedback to give proper credit.
A v3.0 will come up, but not anytime soon that will include the above mentioned "jordanian, UAE, thai, indonesian & singaporian planes", hopefully even more than that.

RSS SA-2 Guideline Pack Beta 0.41
By Snailman
RED SIDE STANDARD SA-2 Guideline Pack 0.41 Beta
============================================
This is a public test version. Please try out equipment playing from both sides. This pack has been tested against stock planes on stock terrain. Mostly on VietnamSE due SAM site density and fast loading time :)
About 1000+ launch tests have been done on planes with various types with or without jamming equipment at low and high altitude. Ballistics have been also checked with HoneyFox's Missile Range Simulator.
Introduction:
-------------
To follow the philosophy behind Red Side Standard Weapons Pack (RSSW) I made an attempt to standardize the SAM systems as well. The first of such, the SA-2 Guideline or System-75 family. Using multiple reference materials (both english an russian) we tried to fine tune the effectiveness of all the weaponry for satisfactory player game experience while keeping as much realism as possible. This provides more challenge playing on the blue side.
Effectiveness for guided missiles and radars have been tuned to provide realistic hit rate within the proper launch requirements. Because of game limitations, this means some technical parameters and values may be different from real world data.
We kept as much stock reference as we could to provide compatibility with original game standard (Naming, Types, etc).
Yet, there are no new ground objects included, but many new equipment is WIP for the final version.
Contents:
---------
- The latest 3D models of the SA-2 family missiles from Spillone104 with thoroughly revised characteristics (FM, Guidance, Ballistics etc)
- Weapon (and folder) names use common standard for convenience, clarity and simplified looks
- Most objects use the stock TW 3D models
Important changes:
------------------
- All missiles have been changed from Beam Rider to SAHM guidance, as a work around the faulty "tail chasing" game logic also present with Rear60 IR seeking missiles. Also, "Beam Rider" guidance does not allow lead targeting of the missile.
- All Fan Song radars have been set to their instrumented range, now it is fully up to the RCS, altitude and noise jamming values to determine the range of detection.
- Target tracking range has been made equal to the search range - what the Fan Song can see can track immediately - launch is still limited by the missile parameters.
- Missile Turn G and Seeker FOV has been toned down to (almost) real life data. It gives a chance to "Dance of Death" - outmaneuvering the missile in early planes. AI however will be still toast, though.
- Now all missiles have new 3D models and new skins, thanks to Spillone104
Credits:
--------
Ground objects: TW
SA-2 missile family: Spillone104
In-game testing: Everyone who gave us feedback and shared game experience! Thank you very much! I do count on more testing with the SA-2 and upcoming systems as well.
Work in progress:
--------
New Fan Song 3D models (with correct size and antenna types)
Various auxiliary vans or SAM site contruction
New Search/Height inding radar 3D models associated with the sites on regimental level
Experimental complete SAM site objects for terrains

Aerodynamically Limited MiG-17s v1.1
By Caesar
Aerodynamically Limited MiG-17s v1.1
=================
Description:
This is a mod which limits the maneuverability of the stock ThirdWire MiG-17, -17F and -17PF at high subsonic speeds, especially above .8M. It has long been published that the MiG-17's lack of hydraulically boosted controls prevented the pilot from turning much harder than 2-2.5g as the aircraft got beyond 400 knots (especially by 450). The stock TW MiG-17s, however, have in excess of 10g authority at the mid-to-high 400s of knots, and this is one of the reasons they are commonly called "UFOs" - they can out-turn almost any fighter anywhere in the envelope.
This mod adjusts both the lift coefficient and the aerodynamic pitch dampening coefficient to reduce the MiG-17's ability to pull high-g turns at airspeeds exceeding .8 Mach. This provides the player with the ability to utilize real-world speed tactics employed by F-4, F-8 and other aircrews against the MiG-17. Keep the fight fast, and you can now out-turn the FRESCO.
This mod does NOT adjust the lower-speed performance of the FRESCO. As such, if you try to get into the phonebooth and burn away your energy, expect the same results as before. If you choose to fly the MiG-17 with this FM modification, it adds a degree of challenge and realism in that just like the AI, you won't be able to load a 12g turn at 500knots anymore, and will have to pay attention to airspeed. The speedbreak is your friend! I personally had no problem dogfighting with the FM, but it did require better energy management in that it requires you to keep the aircraft neither too slow, nor too fast.
V1.1 (23 Nov 17) has also changed the engine response time for the MiG-17's VK-1F engine. It is reported in Red Eagles that the engine took approximately 15 seconds (p.112) to go from idle to full military power. Most engines from the 50s and 60s had slow response times (e.g., the TF-30 taking approximately 8 seconds to go from idle to military and another 4 to stage up to Zone 5), and this required a bit of thinking and tactics to work around. "Jose" Oberle (Lt Col, Ret) explained that the engine worked well enough if kept above 80 percent power, but pulling back to idle, then pushing back towards military power "took forever" (Ibid.), and that the easiest way to handle decelerating was to keep the engine at 80 percent and deploy the speed brakes. The AI isn't harshly impacted by this limitation, but a player using this data.ini will have to consider this limitation. If, as a player, you do not want to deal with the slower engine response, the original entry is simply commented out, and can be restored by editing the .ini.
=================
Whats in it:
There are three data.inis contained in this mod. One for the baseline MiG-17, one for the MiG-17F and one for the MiG-17PF. This mod adjusts the ThirdWire MiG-17s and will work with any version of StrikeFighters 2, including merged and single installs.
=================
Installation:
1. Unzip the contents of the "Aero_Limited_MiG-17sV11.7z" file into a folder
2. Open the folder. Copy the contents of the folder (MiG-17, -17F, and -17PF folders) into your SF2 mod folder's Objects\Aircraft folder, allowing all files to overwrite.
3. The Data.ini files should already be read only, but if not, set them to read only so the game does not re-write or over-write the data file with the game's original files upon booting up (this happens sometimes when a mod changes a core game file).
4. Go fly!
=================
Credits:
FM: ThirdWire
Mod: Caesar
=================
Some open-source examples of airspeed and engine limitations of the MiG-17:
From "Scream of Eagles," "Tooter" Teague (who flew one of the captured MiG-17's) put it that: "We found out very quickly that the MiG ['17] goes out of control at 450 knots...He [the '17] locks up at about 425 and he goes absolutely left wing down...his wing warps...so if he goes 500 knots he's out of control He's in a left wing roll an can't do anything about it. So just do 500 knots and it becomes only a question of eyes. Keeping sight and keeping fast." (p. 138).
From "Red Eagles": "We had to teach them that if they could - as a defender in an American airplane - get the MiG-17 into the 450-knot regime, and then start to turn, then the MiG pilot would have to overcome this huge aerodynamic load on the tail without any hydraulic assistance. He may have had the potential to pull 7Gs, but he could probably pull no more than 2Gs because he simply didn't have the physical strength to overcome the loads on the tail." (p.132)
From "Duke" Cunningham (in "Dogfights): [the MiGs are travelling fast. Cunningham knows the MiG, lacking hydraulic controls like the F-4, is hard to turn.] "So I looked at him and said 'nope, can't do it,' so I broke into him and he overshot right down below me."
[Engine] From "Red Eagles, New Edition": The VK-1F was slow to respond to movements of the throttle, and it took in the region of 15 seconds for it to go from idle thrust to "military" thrust power setting (the maximum non-afterburning thrust available). Oberle observed: "This slow engine response was a characteristic of the old engines. If you kept the power up above 80 percent you had pretty good engine response, but if you ever pulled it back to idle and then pushed the power up to accelerate, it would take forever for the engine to spool back up to the 80 percent rangewhere you finally started getting power." (p.112)

Cold East Ground Objects Bonanza Vol.1
By yakarov79
The first part of Cold East Ground Objects Bonanza mods for the SF2 series game.
First of all. This is not entirely a 'Plug and Play' mod.
Yes, some objects will appear in the game right away, but some will not - because some objects are meant to be used via the target editor.
In general, the whole mod is built for terrain enhancement - a lot of objects should be added in terrain TYPES and TARGETS. But of course, some like tanks, SAMs, AAA, etc will appear automatically in the game.
Having this in mind this mod is mostly for terrain builders, modders, and experienced users. If you are hoping for quick-click plug-and-play - this is not for you.
All objects have destroyed models added.
Gun files should be taken carefully - they are slightly modified by guuruu with decreased performance.
I believe all the gun files are provided and you should have them already, if I forgot something - well it happens sometimes. Sorry for that.
5 new weapons for some of the objects.
9M14M, 9M14P, 9M111, 9M113, 9M114
Part one contains mostly tanks, APCs, IFVs, SPAAG, and some support armored objects.
All of the skins are green, I added a few camo versions and a few extra but just for specific objects. NO Tan/Desret scheme. This might come in a more specific mod for specific terrains in the future.
Userlist ini files are just there but they might need editing for your own use.
Under any circumstances DO NOT mix these objects with ODS 30Aniversary Edition mod. ODS30AE objects are exclusive for ODS and differ in many ways from Cold East Ground Objects Bonanza.

2) Extract this file using winrar or 7zip tools and you will see a folder called "Improved Wingtip Vortex v1.0"
3) There are two folders with types of wingtip vortex:
- Straight trails Version = new wingtip vortex effect with straight trails
- Shakey trails Version = new wingtip vortex effect with shakey trails
You can only pick ONE of these two folders, you can't have both at the same time. You can try one of these two version first. Then try other and see which one you like the best. However, inside these folder you will see "Effect" folder, drop them in your strike fighter 2 mod folder and overwrite when asked.
4) ENJOY!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known BUGS/Problem:
Shakey version of wingtip vortex trails disappears at specific angle when you view them, this is due to nature of 2D. I have tried creating 3D volumetric version of wingtrip vortex, they got too complicated and hogs cpu and memories lot. I had to cancel my project of converting 2D wingtip vortex from 2D to 3D, to avoid heavy cpu and memories hogging for anyone's computer. I intend to make this mod very friendly for any computer. That is exactly why I created two version of wingtip vortex (straight and shakey).

USN SAM pack
This is a complete package of SAMs used by the United States Navy from the early cold war era to present. Currently 33 different missiles are included.
I have meticulously researched, modified, tested and compiled these weapons so that I and other ship modders have a selection of realistic standardized missiles (one might say "Standard Missiles":D) to work with.
The medium and long range missiles have been assigned updated efects from SF2NA, as well as new sound effects (included in the package), which sound much more appropriate than the default sound. I'm particularly proud of the VLS launch effect, which I made by ripping and editing official footage; I think it adds to the immersion tremendously.
Note that two stock weapons, the RIM-2F and RIM-66B, are replaced by this package. I usually try to avoid this, but the RIM-2F model did not sit on launchers correctly, and both weapons had some wildly incorrect data.
Optional data files for a few stock and third-party USN ships are included which adds new weapons as appropriate and adjusts radar strength to more realistic levels.
Please see the readme for instructions, credits, and other details. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

Republic of Korea Army Vehicle Pack
This is a package of 12 ground objects for the Republic of Korea Army, representing many of the significant combat vehicles from the 1970s to present. Several new guns and missiles are included.
Note that these are all new models and not stand-ins or re-skins of existing ones. While they are relatively low-poly and low-res, if there is sufficient demand, I will update these models with more detail and improved textures at some point in the future.
Featured South Korean vehicles include:
M48A5K tank: Cold war era tank upgraded with a 105mm L7 gun
K1 MBT: Modern tank based on the M1 Abrams (though smaller) with a 105mm L7 gun
K1A1 MBT: Upgraded version of the K1 with a 120mm L44 smoothbore gun
K2 Black Panther MBT: Advanced (and extremely expensive) battle tank with indigenous technologies and a 120mm L55 gun
KM900 APC: Cold war era wheeled APC based on the Italian Fiat 6614
K200A1 IFV: Modern tracked fighting vehicle based on the US-designed AIFV
K21 IFV: Advanced fighting vehicle with a 40mm autocannon and anti-tank missiles
K9 Thunder SPA: Modern 155mm mobile howitzer
K136 Kooryong MRL: Modern wheeled 130mm rocket launcher
K263 Vulcan AAA: Mobile anti-aircraft vehicle based on the M163 Vulcan Air Defense System
K30 Biho AAA: Mobile anti-aircraft vehicle with twin 30mm guns
K-SAM Chonma: Mobile tracked short-range SAM based on the modern Crotale system
These ground objects are recommended for use with Wrench's latest Korea terrain. Please see the readme for full details. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this package, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

Soviet/Russian Pilots Pack - part 2 (80's to present)
By The Trooper
Soviet/Russian Pilots Pack - part 2 (80's to present)
-------------------------------------------------
These are re-skins of the stock pilot model, representing Soviet/Russian pilots wearing the latest generation Soviet/Rusian flightgear.
Pilot descriptions:
-------------------------------------------------
Red7250 and Red7350
These pilots are wearing current standard Russian helmet - ZSh-7, KM-34 series 2 oxygen mask and VKK-15 high altitude suit. Developed in late 1980s, these suits are the latest generation of mass produced Soviet/Russian high altitude suits
Use on:
Almost all contemporary Russian aircraft that fly on higer altitudes: MiG-25, MiG-29, MiG-31, Su-27, Tu-160, late Tu-95.
Red5260, Red7260 and Red7360
These guys are wearing VMSK-4 naval survival suit. It is a complete pilot protection system as it contains a number of partial pressure (G-suit) components and it also acts as a dry-suit in case the pilot ejects into the cold waters of the North or Barents Seas. Great for North Atlantic or DBS terrains.
Red5260 is more suitable for older aircraft like Yak-38.
Use on:
Soviet/Russian naval aviation aircraft, aircraft flying over cold waters
Yak-38, Yak-41, Su-33, MiG-29K, Tu-22M etc...
Red5225, Red7225 and Red7325
Regular flight suits in camo pattern and anti-G pants. Used in various aircraft since the late 80s.
Use on:
Pretty much everything that flies since the 80s. I am using these in ground attackers.
Instalation:
-------------------------------------------------
1. Extract to your "Objects\Pilots\" folder.
2. Open the *_data.ini file for your aircraft of choice and search for a section like this:
[Pilot]
SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT
...
Change the line
PilotModelName=...
to
PilotModelName=RedXXXX
If the it does not have the line above, just add it.
Save!
3. Start the game and enjoy your new pilots!
-------------------------------------------------
Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms:

Cold East Ground Objects Bonanza Vol.2
By yakarov79
The second part of Cold East Ground Objects Bonanza mods for the SF2 series game.
First of all. This is not entirely a 'Plug and Play' mod.
Yes, some objects will appear in the game right away, but some will not - because some objects are meant to be used via the target editor.
In general, the whole mod is built for terrain enhancement - a lot of objects should be added in terrain TYPES and TARGETS. But of course, some like tanks, SAMs, AAA, etc will appear automatically in the game.
Having this in mind this mod is mostly for terrain builders, modders,, and experienced users. If you are hoping for quick-click plug-and-play - this is not for you.
All objects have destroyed models added.
Gun files should be taken carefully - they are slightly modified by guuruu with decreased performance.
I believe all the gun files are provided and you should have them already, if I forgot something - well it happens sometimes. Sorry for that.
Part two contains mostly air-to-air defenses.
SA-2, SA-3, SA-9, SA-8B, SA-13, SA-7.
Again those SAMs are not really plug-and-play mods.
I have made them in groups (SA-2A, SA-2B, SA-3, etc...) each group contains EWR, SAM_RADAR, and SAM_LAUNCHER.
It is up to the player to pick and choose the desired system for a specific mod, terrain, etc.
all except SA-2 use new weapon models. SA-2 uses an older model that was available for years already. (for now, I have no patience to finish my models)
All objects have destroyed models added.
Gun files should be taken carefully - they are slightly modified by guuruu with decreased performance.
All of the skins are green, I added a few camo versions and a few extra but just for specific objects. NO Tan/Desret scheme. This might come in a more specific mod for specific terrains in the future.
Userlist ini files are just there but they might need editing for your own use.
If you have similar models from me - released years ago - do not mix them up. I recommend deleting all old files. Here you will find new updated models.
Under any circumstances DO NOT mix these objects with ODS 30Aniversary Edition mod. ODS30AE objects are exclusive for ODS and differ in many ways from Cold East Ground Objects Bonanza.
SA-2A (SA-75):
P-12 + PRV-10 Station, RSNA-75 fire control radar and SM-63-II launcher for V750 (1D) rocket
SA-2B (SA-75M) - userlist.ini contains Warsaw Pact and non WP users)
P-12 + PRV-10 Station, RSNA-75M fire control radar and SM-63-II launcher for V750V (11D) rocket
SA-2C(S-75):
P-12 + PRV-11 Station, RSN-75 fire control radar and SM-63-II launcher for V750VN (13D) rocket

P-12NP + PRV-11 Station, RSN-75V1 fire control radar and SM-90 launcher for V7555U (20DS) rocket
SA-2E2 (S-75M2):
P-12NP + PRV-11 Station, RSN-75V2 fire control radar and SM-90 launcher for 5Ya23 (23D) rocket
SA-2E3 (S-75M3):
P-18 + PRV-11 + 1L22 Station, RSN-75M3 fire control radar and SM-90 launcher for 5Ya23 (23D) rocket

P-12M + PRV-11 Station
P-18 + PRV-11 + 1L22 Station, RSNA-75MK fire control radar and SM-90 launcher for V750VM (11DM) rocket
SA-3 (S-125):
P-15 + PRV-11, SNR-125 fire control radar and 5P71 launcher for 5W24 rocket
SA-3B (S-125M):
P-15 + PRV-11
P-15M + PRV-13 + 1L22
P-15M2 + PRV-13 + 1L22
P-19 + PRV-13
SNR-125 fire control radar and 5P71 and 5P73 launcher for 5W27 rocket
SA-7 (9K32M)
BTR-60PB equipped with 9K32M Strela-2M system
SA-8B
P-40 radar and 9K33M2 Osa-AK and 9K33M3 Osa-AKM systems on BAZ-5937 chassis.
SA-9/SA-9B
9K31 Strela-1 on BRDM-2 chassis
SA-13
9K35 Strela-10 on MT-LB chassis
Most of the skins are 2048x2048 I highly recommend resizing to desired (lower) size format.
Do not blindly copy-paste files.
Pick a mod, make a backup if needed - test the file - decide - to keep it or not.
Just in case - enjoy.
Jarek.

Postprocess shader tweaks
By Stary
Postprocess shader tweaks
FOR STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 DirectX 10 ONLY!
Made for and tested in SF2 all titles merged with Expansion Packs 1&2
(but should work with any SF2 title)
version 1.0
30.12.2010
This is set of modified Thirdwire postprocess shader variants that change the appearance of Strike Fighters 2.
This mod works only in Strike Fighters 2 in Dx10 mode. Also you need to set your effects detail to unlimited for this shader to display!
Please note that when using sepia, fake night vision and black&white shaders, various on-screen elements (like gunsight, HUD, radar display box and text) are still displayed unchanged. These are processed using different own shaders.
Included are several variants, with various color corrections (old film, sepia, black and white, light green, nightvision) and various strenghts of screen vignetting.
