This is a modification (painting) to this port gantry 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.

SF2 SA-7 Grail / 9K32 Strela-2 MANPADS Pack 1.5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This pack features the famous SA-7 "Grail". It is a man-portable, shoulder-fired, low-altitude, 
infrared guided surface-to-air missile system (MANPADS). It is widely exported and has 
been in use in nearly every regional conflict since 1969. Despite its operational limitations,
it has been proved quite effective in the hands of tactical armies and rebel groups.
During War of Attrition on 19 August 1969 Egyptian soldiers brought down an Israeli A-4H 
Skyhawk some miles west of the Suez Canal using Strela-2. According to some sources 
this might have been the first successful combat use of any MANPADS in history! 
Following variants are included:
9K32 Strela-2 (SA-7A, 1968) - First variant.
9K32M Strela-2M (SA-7B, 1970) - Improved variant.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New features:
- Updated missiles data which offer more realistic performance
- Fuze distances have been increased since the SA-7 had lethality limitations after hitting
  a target. Now a target can be hit but it may return back home safely
- New launch effect and sound
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known issues:
- Due to game engine limitations concering missile guidance, 9M32 (SA-7A) missile's target 
  aspect has been set as Rear 180 despite the fact that in reality it could be fired only at the rear. 
  After massive failed launches it became clear that it was extremely difficult to achieve a single 
  hit by setting 9M32 as Rear 60 even when some other values such as FOV and track rate had 
  been increased. 
- Helicopters have higher survival rate per hit because in some cases missiles hit the tail rotor 
  without causing significant damage. I guess this is another game engine characteristic.
- Low altitude (lower than 600-800m) performance is downgraded for current missile values. 
  By increasing noise rejection the missile becomes capable of hitting targets in lower altitude 
  but at the same time the single shot hit/kill probability is being increased to an unrealistic level. 
- Fuze distances are longer compared with the actual lethal and damage radius of the system. 
  In SF2 world the real high explosive warhead quantity is big enough to destroy a fighter size 
  target even in 10 meters! 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
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.
More than 2000 launches took place!
Enjoy as much as you can this mod and leave comments with your in-game experience
in the support topic!

SF2 Upgrade Pack For Western Transports, Airliners and AWACs by Veltro2K    6/1/2018
= For SF2, Any/All (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED!) =
This is a remod pack for Veltro2k's Western/NATO 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, Tu-16 or B-52D (SF2V) destroyed models as well. Flight Models remain "as issued"; they've not been touched by me.
All New Data Inis Included in this pack are for:
C-5A Galaxy
C-17 Globemaster II
C-141A Starlifter
C-141B Starlifter
G-222/C-27 Spartan
E-767
KC-767 (KC-46)
Nimrod MR.1 (RAF ASW/Martime Patrol)
Br.1150 Atlantique  (ASW/Martime Patrol)
PB-1W Navy Fortress (USN 1940s/50s AEW - B-17)
DC-8 *
B-747  Pan Am"Jumbo Jet"
*The DC-8 mods are for the package by Daddyairplanes*

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!

added missing G-222 folder and inis

For those not following the "Tips & Tweeks" Thread in the SF2 WW2 Forum, this is a package of data inis for the Bristol Beaufighter by Cocas Aircraft Factory
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)
TFX (early and late -with and withOUT thimble nose)
the roll rate is still a little higher than as described, but it's improved over the original release
Instructions For Use:
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!

The package contains new data inis for the C-97 & HC-97 Stratofreighter. This new inis have all new adjusted hit boxes, the addition of missing or (previously) unnamed components, and the re-arrangement of systems to the new components.
The aircraft package itself has also been updated for those that haven't downloaded these aircraft yet. Existing users will NOT have to re-download the entire package. THIS set is designed for that update/upgrade.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
Simply unzip, as always reccomended, to a temp folder or your desktop. Then, copy/Paste, move, however you wish to, the included /Objects folder directly OVER the existing Objects folder in whichever SF2 mods folder you have these aircraft installed to. Allow the Overwrite. A back-up copy of the original data ini for both aircraft is included, so no need to back up you originals.
Enjoy!
