This is a modification (painting and adding a large base) to this port crane.
I wish I were this capable at modeling but sadly I am not there yet.
Good eye-candy for the targeted port of your choice.

SA-8/8B "Gekko" SAM, Static Versions
-- For SF2, Any and All with Access to the original SA-8/8B Mobile SAMs --
 
As per some discussion in the Forums, this mod adds 2 new SA-8 (both the standard and -8B) as 'Mobile_AAA', thereby allowing them to appear as 'fixed' air defense units around airbases, ports, factories, and other usual suspects.
 
As being two new objects, these will NOT interfere with the 'stock' ones, that come out and play as escorts during Armed Recon missions. Simply put, this adds another level of close-in/short range Air Defense for the Red Side.
It uses all stock items (read: standard, 3W missiles). NO LODS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE -- so, you'll probably need at LEAST SF2:E; AFAIK, that's where they first appeared. Of course, a Full-4 Merged Install should have access to the lods.
 
As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop).
 
This mod was tested in a Full-4 Merged SF2 install, and SF2:E. Your mileage (and PK) may vary.
 
Duck & Cover!!

SF2 TopGun F-14 Pilots: Maverick/Goose, Viper/Jester & Iceman/Slider!
By Viper 07/03/2015
 
TopGun Pilots flies again in StrikeFighters 2!!!! Yep...nuff said.
 
This mod will not update any existing SF2 files, but I recommend that you back up your mod folder (...\Objects\Pilots).
 
There are 2 steps to this install...(Three counting backing up!)
 
1) Copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" to your target mod folder. My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was, but yours my be different...
 
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic\
 
* It will ask to overwrite, go ahead and overwrite. This mod should not change anything you already have installed - unless you, by some chance named something with the same names as I did. Hence the back up recommendation.
 
NOTE: You should be able to install these pilots in SF2 game for most, if not all, jets. It doesn't have to be an F-14 or StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic. Have Mav and Goose fly and F-111?!! Enjoy!
 
2) Locate and update the "data.ini" file of the jet you want these pilots installed in. In my example, I will update the "F-14A_82_DATA.INI" file located in...(again, your location may be different)...
 
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic\Objects\Aircraft\F-14A_82
 
* In my example, I am updating the "F-14A_82_DATA.INI" file. In the target jet's folder, locate the "*DATA.INI" file. Edit the file in a text editor (Notepad) and "Find" the "Crew" section in the "*DATA.INI" file. In this section, there should be a [Pilot] and [CoPilot] (if the plane has a copilot. F-14's do) sub-section.
 
* Look for the "PilotModelName=..." entry and update it with Maverick and Goose's info (it's the name of the folders and ini files you copied into ...\Objects\Pilots in Step 1).
 
NOTE: All pilots and copilots in your flight for this plane will get this change...So if you have a wingman, Mav and Goose will show up there too...Sorry, this can't be helped...
 
All available Pilots...
 
TG_Maverick
TG_Goose
 
TG_Viper
TG_Jester
 
TG_Iceman
TG_Slider
 
Example...Installing Mavrick and Goose into the "F-14A_82_DATA.INI" file...

SF2 Upgrade Pack For Soviet Transports,Airliners and AWAC Aircraft by Veltro2K        5/23/2018
= For SF2, Any/All (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED!) =
This is a remod pack for Veltro2k's Soviet/WarPac Transport, Airliner and AWAC aircraft. This package =ONLY= contains the data inis for the aircraft listed below. You will still need to locate the original aircraft.
It is highly suggested (read: REQUIRED) that you have SF2NA as part of your merged installs, as several of these reference the stock 3W Tu-95 Bear destroyed model. Some reference the stock 3W An-12 destroyed model as well. 
All New Data Inis Included in the pack are for:
A-50 Mainstay (AWAC)
An-22 Cock
IL-38 May (ASW/Martime Patrol)
IL-76 Candid
IL-78 Midas
Tu-95A Bear-A
Tu-95MS Bear-H
Tu-104 Camel (Aeroflot Airliner
Tu-144 Cleat (Aeroflot Airliner)
Tu-126 Moss (AWAC)
All aircraft have had their data inis reworked to correct, add, move or generally "fix" all the hit boxes, relocate components (ie: fuel tanks, as best as possible inside the airframe) and in general clean up many things that simply escaped notice. The exception here is the Tu-104, which get a partly repainted skin, with all new 100% accurate civil registration number decals (18), and an avionics upgrade (GM radar).
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!

It is highly suggested (read: REQUIRED) that you have SF2NA as part of your merged installs, as several of these reference the stock 3W Tu-95 Bear destroyed model. Some reference the stock 3W An-12, Tu-16 or B-52D (SF2V) destroyed models as well. Flight Models remain "as issued"; they've not been touched by me.

All aircraft have had their data inis reworked to correct, add, move, remove or generally "fix" all the hit boxes, relocate components (ie: fuel tanks, as best as possible inside the airframe) and in general clean up many things that simply escaped notice. The exception here is the Pan Am 747, which gets a partly repainted skin, with all new 100% accurate civil registration number decals (18) AND their matching "Clipper" names. Decal Randomization is "TRUE". The 747 and DC-8s also get an avionics upgrade (GM radar). Some sounds are included; you may have them alread, or not; but I like "to be sure".
Please note, some of these aircraft may NOT be in the SF2 downloads section; one will need to Search the SF1/Wo* (1stGen) downloads. Equally important, is to HAVE the aircraft installed =BEFORE= installing this Upgrade Pack. Kinda makes sense, right? <gr>
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!

SF2 Westland Wyvern S.4 Tweeks Pak 4/4/2015
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
A small modification/Tweeks pack for Skippybings' Westland Wyvern S.4 Royal Navy turboprop attack aircraft.
This is =NOT= the full aircraft, nor does it contain the beautiful skin/decals pack by paulopanz (which is a HIGHLY reccomended add-on!). This is just a set of inis, and new Hangar & Loading screens.
 
The inis contain minor tweeks and a new anti-ship loadout (torpedo); other loadouts have been adjusted for more striking power and/or extended range and loiter time. Most other stuff remains "as issued". See "Notes" for full change list.
 
Obviously, you MUST have the Wyvern aircraft in you mods folder before installing this tweeks pack. <g>
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them =BEFORE= installing (but after unzipping, of course). Also, give the "Notes" section a read too, as it contains the Change Log.
 
Happy Landings!

-- Something for the CBI players --
 
= For SF2, (Any and All) =
 
*Note: may also be usable in 1stGen SF/Wo*; 08 level probable. 06 Level unknown*

These are added via the "fake pilot" method, as seen on the recently released P-40K-5 mod and the P-47D Razorback for China. The "fake pilot" is included as well.
The psd template, for those that want any other colors, is provided in the OD Loop's folder.
 
As always, relatively (speaking) easy to follow, but highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.

This package contains data inis with adjusted hitboxes and some armor upgrades, but a new flight model for ALL the ETO (northern European used) Bristol Beaufighters that Cocas and I did.
These are:
Mk.1 (early and late)
NF MK.1 (early and late)
Mk.1C (ITF)
Mk.VI (early)
Mk. VIC, Mk.VIC,  Mk.VIF (early and lates)

Unzip, as always reccomended, to a temp folder or you desktop. Then, copy/paste the /Objects folder from the zip DIRECTLY over you /Objects folder in you WW2 ETO centric mods folder. Each of the above listed aircraft has, of course, their own folder within. Also provided is a backed up copy of the original data ini, for safety's sake.
At some point in time, the MTO and PTO theatre specific versions will be uploaded. Eventually, I'll be trying to update each individual aircraft's package. But there's a LOT of Beaus, and only so much time..
Enjoy!

-- Something for Everyone --
 
= For SF2, Any and All =
 
*Note: these pilot figure may also work in 1stGen SF/Wo*. Be advised, that at pre-08 levels,
folderized pilots won't work. YOu'll have to seperate the all out, like as was done in the Distant
Past at 06 level*
 
This is a compliation of pretty much ALL the WW2 Pilot figures available for use in the various
aircraft mods now available (and by inference), and those to come.
It is a comglomeration of work dating back nearly to the very beginnings of SF modding. The names
of some of the contributors are Lost to History, but we thank them all. For those that I could
remember, see "Credits" section below.
 
This pack contains some 28+ pilot and crew figures, included the "FakePilot". This is JUST
pilot/crew figures. Those "devices" that use the FakePilot method for adding radar pods, or pylons
are NOT included. Aircraft Seats are also NOT included.
See the enclosed "pilots in this pack.jpg" for the listing.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read

This pack contains a modification of Geo's German Army Sdkfz-251 "Hanomag" Half-Track. Even though the full vehicle is here (and an extra 'snow camo' skin, still zipped), it's mostly an ini tweek.

Copy/paste the various /Objects folder DIRECTLY over the original /Objects folder in your WW2 PTO-centric mods folders.

SF2 YAP F-100F Fuel Probe Shadow Line Fix
 
This mod is for the payware YAP F-100F Super Sabre.
 
Thanks and Credit go to:
 
yakarov79 - for creating this new, shadow free fuel probe. Thank you Jarek.
 
FastCargo - for creating the FakePilot.
 

This mod uses the Fake Pilot method to fix the YAP F-100F shadow line.
 
A .psd file is included if you wish to repaint the fuel probe. It is currently painted in the USAF SEA paint scheme.
 
This will not work in SF1.
 
 
 
Installation:
Drop the F-100F and FakePilot folders into your installation's Pilot Folder.
Back up your F-100F_Data.ini file in your aircraft F-100F plane folder and overwrite it with the provided F-100F_Data.ini file. (This file hides the old/original fuel probe and adds the new fuel probe to the plane.)
 
That's it. The fuel probe shadow line is gone.
 
If I forget or miss anyone who deserves credit for anything I release, I apologize. I have no intent to abuse or misuse anyone's work or property or claim it as my own. Please contact me to correct any error.
 
I'm releasing this under the Combat Ace Fair Use Agreement.

                      Yakarov79 9P149 Tank Destroyer
                             9P149 Shturm-S

Hello Everyone,  Yarkarov79 came up with 9P149 Tank Destroyer with no INI with it so I created one for his great piece of work.
  I did some research on the 9P149 and based all my ini work on this. Of course all the secrets are not revealed so I made some guesses on this little devil.  "9P149 will live up to its name if added to the game."  I have tested this in SF2E latest version with all games merged. Works just like the Soviet's intended it to work.  Do not fly low and slow or you will for sure be flaming burnt toast with this little Storm hanging around on the Battle field.
  The 9P149 launches the 9M114 Kokon Missile and made this one from someone’s 9K114 lod.  I do not know who owns this one or who it belongs too, so thank you for your great work as well.
Please let me know who owns it so I can give credit.
/// ----------------Install Instructions------------------ ///
  Take the 9P149 from the Ground Objects folder and copy and paste it in to your Ground Objects folder.  Then take the 9M114 missile from the Weapons folder and copy and paste it into your Weapons folder.
/// Credits --------------///
Yakarov79 for the lod and skins.

The MESA radar provides air-to-air coverage, air-to-surface coverage, integrated identification friend or foe, special track beams and focused sector operation.
MESA builds on the company's expertise acquired from the AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) to bring military airborne surveillance capabilities to mid-size Boeing 737 aircraft.
MESA enables sophisticated air-to-air and maritime coverage and integrated identification of friend-or-foe systems.
Advances in technology have caused a revolution in the capabilities and flexibility of airborne surveillance systems and sensors used in Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) systems. Developments in distributed transmitters, commercial off-the-shelf processing and high-performance antenna arrays have enabled ES multirole electronically scanned array (MESA) radar to be cost effectively applied to the next generation Boeing 737-700 series aircraft.

                      Yakarov79's MT-LB APC
                            
Hello Everyone,  Yarkarov79 came up with a Soviet MT-LB APC with no Data ini with it so I created one for his great piece of work. This APC comes with three skins Camo, Green, and Tan.
         "Only for FREEWARE CombatAce use"
 I created the Data ini for Yakarov79's MT-LB APC using information from Wikipedia.  This is a good all-rounder to have in all the SF2 series and mods.  This unit has been tested in SF2E latest version with all games merged.
