SF2 WW2 SDKFZ-251 Half-Track Mod
-- Something for the WW2 ETO/MTO/Eastern Front players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
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.
What I've done is change it's GroundObjectRole= from TANK to TRANSPORT. This will allow the Game Engine to use them in ARMED_RECON missions.
But beware...
It'll bite back!!!
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them FIRST!!!
Good Hunting!!

US M-1 120mm AAA Gun
- For SF2, Any and All -
Simple modifications (read: ini edits) create the 1940s-mid 1950s 120mm radar directed US Auntie-Aircraft gun.
Based on Pasko's KS-30 130mm, as this is the closest shape available. (unless a 3d guy builds a more accurate one). A new 120mm gun is included. As this gun was radar directed, I took a little poetic liscence, and 'built in' the search/track radar to the data ini itself (ala the ZSU-23 and M-51 Skysweeper).
Simple easy to follow instructions are below, in the "To Install" section.
Happy Hunting!

Yellow US Fuel Truck
= SF/Wo* & SF2 series Games (Any and All!) =
A simple repaint of the stock OD US Fuel truck into a more 'easily' seen and sometimes period correct bright Yellow color. As used by the USAF through the 1950s and 60s; later models did seem to revert to OD and/or Theartre Camo patterns. To that end, the PSD templates are supplied (they're 1024x, so easy to work with) to allow other skinners the opportunity to create other skins.
Designed as a 'stand alone' vehicle, the skin can also be added to the existing (US) FuelTruck (NOT the Zil for Red Side!!) and hopefully, the Game Engine will randomly select it for use in/on the various terrains.
The inis supplied herein are in ANSI format, allowing for use in both 1stGen SF/Wo* and SF2 series.
See the 'To Install' section below for more notes, and how to add to Terrains as a seperate item via _types and _targets editing.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them! This is a perfect addition for use alongside BadFrank's Yellow and Red "Follow Me" jeeps! They'll all add a little color to an otherwise drab setting.
Happy Gassing!

More Airbase Goodies
= SF/Wo* & SF2 series Games (Any and All -hopefully*!) =
A few more pieces of equipment, to place around airfields or bases, or other 'locations of interest'. The items are:
Bulldozer (-original creator unknown, as it comes from waay back on the WW2 terrains)
Road Grader
Steamroller (these 2 by Sundowner)
It should be noted at this time, these are NOT GroundObjects, like the yellow fuel truck recently released, but TERRAIN objects, that will need hand placement on your terrain of choice. Instructions are below in the "To Add To A Terrain" section.
As always, fairly easy to follow (for Terraformers/Targeteers), yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
*note: as the grader and roller have been built in late model MAX, they may not work in SF/Wo* games. This has NOT been tested*
With special thanks to Sundowner!!
Enjoy!

SF2 Korean War Era Misc Items
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =

Menu
Flight (both contain new menu screens)
This is a particularly LARGE download, so give youself some time.

All are updated to SF2NA standard. Some of the weapons and pilots have also been released recently in some of the aircraft; just allow the overwrite when asked. They're the same items.
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
If I've forgotten an item PLESE let me know, and I'll try to get it uploaded ASAP
Good Hunting!
Civilian Fuel Truck
= SF/Wo* & SF2 series Games (Any and All!) =
A simple repaint of the stock Zil Fuel truck into something more 'civilian' looking for use around airports and such like. The templates are supplied (they're 1024x, so easy to work with) to allow other skinners the opportunity to create other skins. Also supplied, is a red Phillips 66 skin, easily swapped.
The inis supplied herein are in ANSI format, allowing for use in both 1stGen SF/Wo* and SF2 series.
See the 'To Install' section below for more notes, and how to add to Terrains as a seperate item via _types and _targets editing.
