Improved Wingtip Vortex Effect pack Version 1.0 by Eagle114th
 
The purpose of this add-on effect mod is to improve the graphic of wingtip vortex in Strike Fighter 2. I have noticed that wingtip vortex, by default, looks bit unrealistic. So I have decided to improve these, inspired by modders from Combat Ace community, especially by Wrench and Stary. I am very thankful for this wonderful community and I am more than proud to be part of Combat Ace commmunity sharing my hobbies within Strike Fighter 2. I truly hope that you enjoy my improved wingtip vortex effect package, you can post feedback/suggestion for improving my effect pack at this link:
 
http://combatace.com/topic/75798-wip-improved-wing-tip-vortices-updated-11-18-12/#entry601081
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
INSTALL INSTRUCTION:
 
1) MAKE SURE YOU back up your EFFECT folder!
 
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).

SON-9A "Firecan" by Julhelm.
 
This model represents a SON-9 (NATO reporting name, Firecan) fire control radar. It's set up to datalink with the KS-19 100 MM AAA gun. I've included the data.ini file with the appropriate network edits to allow that weapon to work in conjunction with the SON-9.
 
This model is set up as "Static_AAA", as that is the only way that it will work properly. That is, track its target, network with the aforementioned gun types, and to illuminate the "AAA" warning light on an aircraft's annunciator panel.
 
INSTALLATION:
 
Simply drop the Firecan and the KS-19 folders into the Objects/GroundObject subfolder, under the Saved Games/Thirdwire/Strike FightersX folder. If warned about a file or folder overwrite (which should be the case for just the KS-19), simply accept the overwrite and continue.
 
The game engine will automatically place the unit wherever it deems fit.
 
Known issue: This model will not cast a shadow, and only the developer can rectify that.
 
Model and textures by Julhelm, data.ini work by Fubar512.
 
 
*Be advised to rename/remove/move any other versions of the Firecan*

as stated, the inis covering WW2 Nations, and the WW2 Formations ini
 
install instructions inside (ie: unzip, and drop in /Flight folder in you WW2 Era and/or Theatre specific mods folder)
 
Important Note:
NOT compatable with an 'all is everything' SF2 base install!!! You must use this in a stand-alone WW2-based mods folder

SF2 AAA Pack.
 
This is a small stand alone pack that will increase the quantity and deadliness of small AAA and Flak. This mod is based on files from the SF2V Air and Ground Expansion Pack and NF4+. This pack can be used with any SF2 install
 
To install: Just drag and drop the folders to your mod folder.
 
Enjoy!

Replacement Control Tower for the bland stock one.
 
Just extract,then copy n paste,the Terrains folder to your mods\ SF2E\Terrains\GermanyCE folder,or move the Tower1.LOD and Control Tower.bmp to the above folder.
 
This will replace all stock tower1 models in any terrain.It wont alter your files as the stock lod isnt available,and this model uses different texture names from stock.

Hope you like.
 
Also supplied camera positioon,if you know how to edit it,if not will update as soon as I can.

Pureblue's Tomcat Viewlist v1.1 by Umut Destan(pureblue)
--------------------------------------------------------
 
This mod will give you bunch of different camera angles. The positions are for the F-14 Tomcat, so they might seem off when you fly other aircraft. But most of the time this shouldn't bother you. You can edit the positions in the Viewlist.ini if you wish.
 
Mod bases external cam. FOV entries from Stary & Silverbolt's viewlist mods.
 
So go out and take some cool screeshots!
 
 
INSTALLATION
--------------------------------------------------------
1. ADD THESE LINES to your controller.ini (whichever the name may be, the file is in your "Controls" folder)
 
To the end of the [ControlSet001] section:
 
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint1=ALT+1
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint1_PREV=CTRL+1
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint2=ALT+2
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint2_PREV=CTRL+2
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint3=ALT+3
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint3_PREV=CTRL+3
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint4=ALT+4
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint4_PREV=CTRL+4
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint5=ALT+5
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint5_PREV=CTRL+5
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint6=ALT+6
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint6_PREV=CTRL+6
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint7=ALT+7
GOTO_PB_ViewPoint7_PREV=CTRL+7
GOTO_PB_WeaponViewAll=ALT+8

2. Copy the included VIEWLIST.INI to your FLIGHT folder.
 
 
FEATURES (Key assignments)
------------------------------------------------------------
 
Keys ALT+(1 to 7) when pressed with switch to various camera angles on your aircraft. These angles are controllable via the mouse and pressing them continuesly will cycle between all aircraft. When pressed with CTRL+(1 to 7) will switch to previous aircraft.
 
Key ALT+8 will cycle through all Weapons, friendly and enemy that are in the air. All SAMS, bombs, missiles..
 
The F5 key is modified based on Stary's Viewlist (FOV settings)
As a plus you can cycles between all aircraft.
 
The SHIFT+F5 is the default Check Six View. As a plus you can yaw/pitch using the mouse.
 
F9 key will cycle through all missiles fired by you.
 
Take note that all these key are free to use in a stock controller.ini. If you have a modified one that merge with caution.
 
 
NOTES
----------------------------
On my game, sometimes after I switch from the Weapon Views back to the external view, the sounds of the engine are missing. I have to do a PAUSE/UNPAUSE to cure it. Don't know why this happens...

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.
 
Thanks for downloading!

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.
