Hello to all and here is my Euro/Med buildings mod V3 this updates the buildings in WOE and others .The updated buildings are based on real buildings in Germany and adds a more modern feel . I have also add Mediterranean buildings too . Just unzip and drop them in the CEGermany/Anatolia  terrain folders and go fly..
Buildings V3.zip

M551 Sheridan.
Pack contains new ground object for SF2 game.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, modd folder structure etc.) 
All ini files are beta....which mean  it's there, it works but it is not final.
I'm hoping someone will do correct ini edits. So do not complain if something is not working- just edit your way.
also included is weapon file - cargo for C-130 with additional lines for Dels's C-130. So easy to play with. And also wreck objects is there. Just copy wreck lod and also lines for wreckobject .ini.
all skins are in 2048x2048 format.
So play with it, and hope someone will do better ini for this vehicle.

Volkswagen Type 82 Kübelwagen for SF2 V.1.01
=======================================
Original model by JasonOwen found on Free3D.com
https://free3d.com/3d-model/german-ww-2-car-kubelwagen-6723.html
Polycount lowered and some re-texturing plus import into SF2 by me. Still a fairly high poly count for a vehicle but a lower poly model is available elsewhere if you have access.
Version 1.01 update: Added a driver -- well, half a driver ;-)

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

1. COPY THE KUBELWAGEN FOLDER FOUND HERE INTO THE "GROUNDOBJECT" SUB-FOLDER FOUND IN YOUR INSTALL'S "OBJECTS" FOLDER.
   -- IF YOU'VE ALREADY INSTALLED A PRIOR VERSION OF THIS JUST OVEWRITE --
2. EDIT YOUR TERRAIN'S "TERRAIN NAME'S_TYPES.INI" BY ADDING THE FOLLOWING AT THE END OF THE TARGET TYPES LISTED THERE
[TargetType***]<=== IMPORTANT! UPDATE TO NEXT NUMBER IN SEQUENCE
Name=Kubelwagen
FullName=Type 82 Kubelwagen
TargetType=MISC
ActiveYear=0
TargetValue=10
UseGroundObject=TRUE
GroundObjectType=Kubelwagen
RepairRate=0.555
StartDetectChance=0
StartIdentifiedChance=0
IncreaseDetectChanceKey=0
MaxVisibleDist=5000.0
DestroyedEffect=SmallRocketGroundExplosion
DestroyedModel=Jeep_Destroyed.LOD
SecondaryEffect=VehicleFireEffect
SecondaryChance=100
To have the object show up in game it will need to be manually added to the various areas in the Targets list by using something like Mue's TargetAreadEditor.
Could work in SF1 with some fiddling with INI files but I'm not going to try.

This mod is for WWII themed SF2 installs. It uses Fastcargo's Fake Pilot and seat method to attach a new RAF-style rear-view  mirror LOD  that matches the shape of the one in Stary's Early WWII pit to the aircraft of your choice. Instructions on how to do this are provided.
I'm releasing this under the Combat Ace Fair Use Agreement.

SF2:I 3W Vautour IIA Upgrade Pack              11/23/2017
= For SF2:I (or Any & All, Full-4/5 Merged Preffered) =
*Can be used in any merged install that has access to the SF2I Meteor F.8, as this cockpit is referenced for this aircraft. It is the "best, closest fit" Hence, the 'Full-5 Merged' tag is applicable*
Extensive modifications and upgrades to the stock 3W S.O.4050 Vautour IIA as used by the IDF/AF,and French Air Force. As seen on the CombatAce message boards, the aircraft gets the addition of the missing outboard wing pylons. These are attached via the 'fake pilot' method. The only disadvantage is, they are always present, even when not loaded. A fact that must be lived with. Also, as stated above, with the addition of a cockpit, the aircraft is now "Player Usable".
Many other modification have been performed, and all are listed in the "Notes" section of this readme. Loadouts have been adjusted, as have several other important statements in the data ini. All weapons used are stock 3W items, meaning they still use the UK bombs. End Users (tm) that wish to swap our to the various French bombs available in weapons packs may do. Be advised, I did =NOT= test with those, so their attachment positions -may- not match.
Even though there isn't another Vautour IIA, I've added a statement to the "displayed name", so it now reads:
Vautour IIA (3W)
This is just one of my usual "things", when more than one of the type exists.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... 
Good Hunting!

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!
=================

=================
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)

Hello Guys, 
We are releasing the KS-3 and KS-4 Ejection Seats for the upcoming Sukhoi family.

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).
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

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.

Volna-M (SA-N-1B, 1967) - First improved naval variant. Only missile included since Kashin ship is a stock stuff. You can use this missile only if you have installed SF2 North Atlantic!
 
S-125M Neva-M (SA-3B, 1970) - The standard Neva version with significant improvements over the first variant. Widely exported.
 
S-125M1 Neva-M1 (SA-3B+, 1978) - Upgrade for S-125M. Many S-125M operators received this modernization in the '80s.
 
S-125 Pechora-2M (2002) - Modern upgrade which included anti-stealth capability, improved performance against heavy jamming and new missiles with extended range.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 
New features:
 
- New search and track ranges for fire control radars
 
- Launchers can perform 360 degree rotation and now all battery launchers can point at the target
 
- More realistic missile parameters. Some values may be higher due to game engine limitations mainly concerning guidance
 
- 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 very similar to Semi Active Radar Homing.
 
- Dramatically improved performance especially in low altitude
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Things that need to be done:
 
- 1024x1024 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
 
- Low altitude performance is good enough but not at the desired level. Tests are still going on
 
- Missiles can fly longer at low altitudes as they tend to reach the Missile Duration time
 
- Userlist.ini has only Soviet as the only operator but temporarily this is not a problem since they appear as the red side in many terrains. The complete operators list
will be on the final version.
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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).
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Check read me file for installation instructions.
 
Lot of research and hard work was made to make this SAM as realistic as possible.
 
Keep in mind that is a beta version. When all the issues will be fixed in the desired level, we will have our final version! Stay tuned and enjoy as much as you can this SAM
and leave comments with your in-game experience in the support topic!

RED SIDE STANDARD SA-8/SA-N-4 Gecko Pack 0.3 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 IsraelME, a more advanced map and for 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 SA-8 Gecko or Osa family is next in the row. It is a late addition into the game, appears in modern eras. It is the most sophisticated SAM system developed during the soviet era and it is still in service. The SA-8 is a low altitude system for short ranges - considered mobile by the game. In theory it would defend armored units, it can move and stops to shoot. Had the placement routine finished by TW... therefore the SA-8 needs user placement. Usage as Mobile AAA is NOT RECOMMENDED, since this system in large numbers can be more than lethal. Also keep availability dates in mind. A plane with no jammer or chaff is helpless against this system in the early 70's - and I did not modify Noise and CM resistance values.
 
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 SA-8 and SA-8B systems, with thoroughly revised characteristics (FM, Guidance, Ballistics etc)
- The SA-N-4 systems, with thoroughly revised characteristics (FM, Guidance, Ballistics etc)
- Kiev and Krivak ship classes equipped with modded SA-N-4 missiles (both early and late models)
- Weapon (and folder) names use common standard for convenience, clarity and simplified looks
- Ground objects use the stock TW 3D models
- Osa Launch sound. Modify soundlist.ini to use this wav file
 
Important changes:
------------------
- Missile ballistic data
- Radar search and track ranges and altitudes
- Early SA-8 (Osa) launcher with 4 missiles (No new 3D yet)
- Corrected SA-N-4 reload times.
Credits:
--------
Ground objects: TW
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 launcher vehicle corrected 3D models (Early Osa)

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

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!
