Object Mods

This file contains names for the entire class for the Thirdwire Kitty Hawk and Nimitz aircraft carriers.
 
Installation
 
1. Drop CVA-63_Names into the CVA-63 folder in your Thirdwire/Strike Fighters 2/Objects/Groundobjects folder. Put CVN-68_Names into the CVN-68 folder.
 
2. Enjoy how you will.
 
 
 
Known issues
 
1. CV-67 is not a member of the Kitty Hawk-class. However, there is no existing model for the JFK, nor is there going to be one in the foreseeable future. However, she is a historically significant vessel and was closely based on the Kitty Hawk carriers, so I have chosen to place her with them.

This is dual-launcher variant of Sa-18 Grouse (GRAU: 9K38 Igla) MANPADS
 
Features:
 
reasonably detailed system mounting
reworked SA-18 launch tube model -better matching real-life thing
reworked soldier model with helmet
secondary LOD
etc.
 
Credits:
Crusader -original Soviet MANPADS data, used here
 
 

Thanks to Stary here is a quick easy mod that adds Taliban SA-14 and SA-18 missiles. Read the README but most of the credits go to Stary.

this is set of new models for Crusader's "Soviet Manpads" pack for Strike Fighters 2 series
 
Created with the aid of freeware "soldier02" model by ? available at free3dmodels.com, rebuild and tweaked by me
Sa-7, Sa-16, Sa-18, Sa-24 models by me*
 
This pack updates the visuals of all units from Crusader's mod, namely:
 
SA-7 "Grail" - GRAU 9K32 Strela-2
SA-7b "Grail" - GRAU 9K32M Strela-2M
SA-14 "Gremlin" - GRAU 9K34 Strela-3
SA-16 "Gimlet" - GRAU 9K310 Igla-1
SA-18 "Grouse" - GRAU 9K38 Igla
Sa-24 "Grinch" - GRAU 9K338 Igla-S
 
I tried to give the models some variety in look, so some are standing and some are firing from keeling positions. Some have ugly box with additional missiles near them.
The models are "generic" enough to possibly serve for various armies and time periods.
 
Also slightly tweaked, more visible effect for launched missiles is included. Use at own risk ;)

New Dirty Exhaust Effects For SF2
 
By NeverEnough
 
This exhaust effect was inspired by the work of Deuces, Fubar512 and Spillone104.
 
This exhaust effect is compatible with both SF2 and SFP1.
 
This New Dirty Exhaust Effects package includes a NewDirtyExhaustEmitter.ini which can be used to supplement the old DirtyExhaustEmitter.ini in your Effects folder for some additional exhaust effect variety.
 
The New Dirty Exhaust Effect will generate a longer and less dense exhaust plume than the Dirty Bird Exhaust Effect.
 
The New Dirty Exhaust Effect is configured so that it may be used in either single engine or multiple engine aircraft. The DirtySingleExhaustEmitter will produce slightly less exhaust volume than the DirtyDualExhaustEmitter when used on a dual engine aircraft if you want to decrease the volume of smoke signature for your multi-engine models.
 
If you wish to have a slightly more smokey single engine aircraft, you could utilize the DirtyDualExhaustEmitter in a single engine aircraft.
 
 
 
You can easily choose between the two effects to get whatever exhaust smoke trails happen to suit you!
 
Both of these exhaust effects can be applied to single, dual or multi-engined aircraft models.

Dirty Bird Exhaust Effect For SF2
 
By NeverEnough
 
This exhaust effect was inspired by the work of Deuces, Fubar512 and Spillone104.
 
After looking at lots of photos of the billowing smoke trails generated by the phantastic F-4 Phantom; I wanted to try to duplicate these big, greasy skidmarks in the sky.
 
The Dirty Bird Exhaust Effect is configured so that it may be used in either single engine or dual engine aircraft. The DBSingleExhaustEmitter will produce slightly more exhaust volume than the DBDualExhaustEmitter when used on a dual engine aircraft if you really want to accelerate global warming.
 
If you wish to have a slightly less smokey single engine aircraft, you could utilize the DBDualExhaustEmitter in a single engine aircraft.
 
This exhaust effect is compatible with both SF2 and SFP1.
 
Also included in the Dirty Bird Exhaust Effect package, is a particularly striking loading screen of the dirty end of a West German F-4F Phantom.

<<<VERY IMPORTANT!>>>
 
Then the real work begins:
 
Open the DATA.ini of the aircraft you want to use these effects.
 
Since this effect is a combination of 2 emitters, one volumetric and the other in the form of a ribbon(for shock diamonds)... You need to duplicate the engine or engines in this way:

This pack corrects the countermeasures on the following aircraft to include the Saab BOL Advanced Countermeasure Dispenser:
 
*F-15C http://combatace.com...ck-version-231/
 
*EF-2000 Eurofighter http://combatace.com...urofighter-sf2/
 
*JAS-39C Gripen http://combatace.com...for-sf2-series/
 
*Tornado F3 http://combatace.com...ado-f3-for-sf2/
 
*Tornado F3 (NATO Fighters 4) http://combatace.com...-update-pack-4/
 
*F-14A & B http://combatace.com...d-f-14b-tomcat/
 
*F-14D http://combatace.com...297-sf2e-f-14d/
 
*RAAF F/A-18 http://combatace.com...ike-fighters-2/
 
The BOL countermeasure dispenser is a 160 shot dispenser that has been integrated into a AIM-9/ AMRAAM launching rail (LAU-7, LAU-127/128/129,CRL,MPRL). The BOL is a non pyrotechnic dispenser that uses air scoops on the dispenser and the wing vortex of the aircraft to disperse its packets of Chaff. The countermeasure is launched rearward from a port in the rear end of the rail. For IR threats a new burning chaff product is being developed. For the above aircraft the BOL launchers are normally loaded with 160 chaff each which frees up the aircrafts existing pyrotechnic launcher/s for a full load of flares. That is what this mod recreates. The weapon station that carries the BOL launcher on the above aircraft has been made to stay even when the station is not loaded otherwise you would have chaff launching from mid air when you had no weapon loaded on that rail to make the node show up.
 
-USAF and ANG F-15C fighters had the four wing sidewinder/AMRAAM rails replaced with BOL versions around 2000.
 
-USN F-14A/B/D Tomcats had the BOL launchers fitted in the early 90’s in place of their two sidewinder rails.
 
-Australian F/A-18 Hornets had BOL dispensers added to the sides of the outer wing pylons, I have been able to paint these onto the skin.
 
-Unsure when the Tornado F3 was equipped with the BOL but they are on the two inside AIM-9 rail positions. I am unable to make the dispensing position move with the swinging wings so the chaff is launched from the position the rear of the sidewinder rails are in when the wing is in the fully swept position.
 
-I have been able to paint on the details of the BOL launchers on the Gripen rails as the way the skin was done allowed for it. The Gripen rails still disappear when not loaded as there is no dedicated position for short range missile rails like the other aircraft and the BOL launcher is only used when an air-to-air missile is loaded on that station.

Credit goes to the Authors of the original aircraft as all I have done is made a few alterations.
 
Instillation: Simply copy and paste the included data.ini files into the correct aircraft folder and overwrite.
 

Another collection of various hangars/walls etc aimed mainly at desert type terrain although they can be used in any you like.

This is a "What If" nation missile system based off of the real SA-18 Grouse (or what I could find though internets sources).
 
It is set for the "Taliban" nation for my Afghanistan install but can be adapted of course for any map or nation:

DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav
DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav
SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat

It uses Pasko's "SAM Gunner" since I have no modeling skills and is setup for SF2. It can be of course adapted for SF1 but that requires a bit of work that can be found in the SF2 Knowledge Base and is a drag and drop as all files and folders are already organized.
 
Afghanistan rules of thumb:
 
Kandahar-Shindand-Herat-Qala I Naw "ring" stay above 24,000ft MSL + for traveling. When you break that (usually 23,000 ft) you may get shot at. Other areas roughly 22,000 ft MSL + is a good altitude to stay above but again use flares conservatively. It's not very accurate but if enough are fired you will get shot down. I've seen earlier versions of this shred SEAD flights.
 
This is strictly for What If scenarios or installs rather than real world setups as so far there is no heavy use of SAMs in-country.

A collection of various buildings,roads & general airfield objects designed for and tested in the SF2 Germany terrain [any version..]

This is small fix that reverts the various calibre guns muzzle flashes back to their TW default effects.
 
Unzip to your effects folder, overwrite when asked.

Unified Effects Pack
 
For Strike Fighters Series 2
 
version 1.0
26 FEB 2011
 
 
This effects pack is a compilation of many effects I did over the years for Strike Fighters and First Eagles series of flight simulators by Thirdwire.
 
Build around "Desert Storm FX Pack beta" released in early 2009, this pack replaces most of the stock effects with new ones, most of them volumeric or "3D" in appearance. Also used are few reworked/tuned down effects from my "Hollywood Explosions" mod, aswell as several never before relased ones.

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.

Tracermania
AAA Tracers and bullets modification
 
FOR STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 Europe with Expansion pack 2
Made for and tested in SF2 all titl mergedwithes merged with Expansion Packs 1&2
 
by Stary
version 1.0
06.12.2010
 
This little modification changes the number of tracers fired by all stock AAA units and patrol boats. Number of tracers has been increased 5 times, instead of every fifth bullet being tracer round now EVERY SINGLE bullet fired by Triple-A is tracer. Also I changed the data for stock partol boats, that makes these vessels track and attack air targets too.
Second tweak is the increase of bullets fired in a burst by AAA crews, usually from 12 to 20 or 24. This seem to me does not make them more or less accurate.
As these changes may increase CPU usage I eliminated ALL tracersmoke trails of any kind for any calibre guns (...)

BTR-80 and 80A
