The Continuation War Pt. C (see Pt. A for a complete description).

The Continuation War Pt. B (see part A for a complete description).

Admin: This is complete install without any Campaigns. I didn't know where else to put it.
 
The Continuation War was fought between 25 June 1941 and 19 September 1944 between Finland and the USSR. This was a true David and Goliath battle. Finland cobbled together a small airforce from the obsolete aircraft of other countries and faced a colossal Soviet Sir Force. Finland should have been overrun within weeks, but that's not how it worked out... This is a tribute to the tenacity of the Finnish armed forces.
 
This is a complete install of the Continuation War. It is built for the benefit of those "without access" to the more diverse ww2 resources of the Development A-Team (DAT), though anyone is welcome to use this Continuation War install. In no way is this intended as a competing product for the A-Team's Winter War. Rather, it is an alternative for those unable to access DAT. This is an informal install. It is not offered as a final product, merely as something to get you flying in the region until further resources are available at CA. If some brave soul will make a Karelian Isthmus terrain, I'd be eternally grateful.
 
In this install you get:
 
- New skins
- Skins "adapted" for use over the battlefield.
- New Flight Models (FMs) with Aggressive AI.
- Sounds from AvHistory and others.
- New Menu screens and sounds.
 
Finnish Aircraft Include:
- Hawker Hurricane Mk I
- Curtiss Hawk 75A-8
- Morane Saulnier Ms.406
- VL Myrsky II
- Messerschmidt Bf-109G-2
- Messerschmidt Bf-109G-6
- Junkers Ju-88A-4
- Dornier Do-17Z
 
Soviet Aircraft Include:
- Hawker Hurricane Mk IIa
- Polikarpov I-16 Type 10
- Polikarpov I-16 Type 24
- Bell P-39N Airacobra
- Curtiss Kittyhawk Mk III
- Tupolev Tu-2
- North American B-25C
- Yakolev Yak-1B
- Yakolev Yak-9T
- Yakolev Yak-9D

Thanks to Wrench in general. He had a hand in a lot of this stuff. He keeps the props flames burning, and answers a LOT of questions. Much appreciated Wrench.

* This compiles so many different projects over so many years and so many missing readme's, that there are many more people deserving credit than are listed. If you've been missed, I apologize profusely. Please let me know and I'll put your name in.
 
A few comprises were made to get this going. The Swedish terrain (produced by JonathanRL's TSF team) is modern Sweden. However it has an old world feel to it that plays well in a ww2 install. Pasko's Yak-9P stands in for the Yak-1B, Yak-9T, Yak-9D, and Yak-9U. There are minor differences between the versions so visually, the Yak-9P is an excellent stand-in. There is one "What If" included. The Fiat G.55 did not fly for Finland. In reality, Germany was very impressed with the G.55 and collected up to 42 examples for study. What happened to them after that? Well, they might easily have been donated to Finland like so many other aircraft.
 
INSTALLATION:
 
- Download all three parts
 
- Create a new Theater-Specific install. Best choice is SF2:Europe.
Create it with this name exactly: StrikeFighters2 ContinuationWar
Good instructions on this are available here:
http://combatace.com/topic/74835-creating-the-eratheatre-specific-ww2-install/

This install should not include any A-Team files or assets per agreement. If it does, this is a mistake. Let me know and I will remove those files.

Hi!!! Some years ago I had the idea of adding aircrafts to campaigns, and now I have the time and GPU to make it real :)
 
This is is Operation Burning Sands based on Malibu 43's great "SF2 Campaign for Desert4 v1.0" http://combatace.com/files/file/14812-sf2-campaigns-for-desert4/
 
It adds USN Skyraiders, Mercenary J-5 and Su-7 and French Armée de l'Air Mystères. I hope you like it!!!
 
Requirements: You'll need a SF2 Full-merged install.
 
*SF2 Campaign for Desert4 v1.0 (link above)
 
*Shenyang J-5 by Paulopanz: http://combatace.com/files/file/10412-shenyang-j-5/
 
*I highly recommend Stary's MiG-17 cockpit for the J-6: http://combatace.com/files/file/12684-mig-15-mig-15-bis-mig-17-cockpit/
 
*Super Mystère B2 cockpit by Stary: http://combatace.com/files/file/16082-super-mystere-b2-cockpit/
 
*Su-7 cockpit by Stary: http://combatace.com/files/file/14215-su-7-bbmbmk-cockpit/
 
*A-1H Skyraider by Dels: http://combatace.com/files/file/12337-flyable-a-1hj-skyraider-for-sf2v-ver-10/
 
I would like to thank Eburger68 for his help, Stary for his cockpits, Dels and Paulopanz for their models and, of course, Malibu 43 for his Desert 4 campaigns, Piecemeal for his Desert 4 terrain and Centurion-1 for the Mountain Regions add-on
 
I hope you enjoy it. Any problem or question, just PM!!
 
Cheers

SF2 "Civil/Firefighter" Mod Part 5B 1/13/2016
 
= For SF2, Full 4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED*! =
 
*-SF2NA is NOT a requirement, but having SF2:E is, as the terrain references objects in the GermanyCE.cat, as well as several aircraft. There are no "naval units" needed for this. HOWEVER!!! SF2:V is REQUIRED, as the Skyraider is used in this mod. Hence, at minimum, a FUll-4 Merged install in required!!*
 
This is part 5b of the incomplete "civil mod" as discussed on the CombatAce message boards. I've done, and gone, as far as I can, and instead of sitting on what I have, am uploading EVERYTHING in several parts in the hopes that someone will pick up the ball and run with it. A full civilian style flght sim may not even be possible, due to the game's central programing as a "combat flight sim", but you never know.
These packages will be broken down into their various components, and will include the (incomplete) "Forest Bowl" terrain, aircraft, skins and decals, ground objects, what few "weapons" are needed, effects, sounds, and all. Basically, my entire "Civil" mods folder, minus the stock 3W combat aircraft and ground objects.
 
Part 5B contains the following items:
 
Objects/
Aircraft
 
(please note this is the 2nd, and last half of the aircraft folder.)
 
As always, (hopefully!) easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!
It is HIGHLY reccomended you download ALL the parts first, and then unzip them together in a temp folder to assemble. You WILL be creating a seperate, stand-alone mods folder for this. If unsure how to build one, consult the CombatAce SF2 Knowledge Base.
 
Good Luck!

NATO Fighters Update #5 by eburger
 
This version is for the latest patch versions and lots of "goodies".
 
You will need NF4+ Parts 1-4 of course to have a complete mod.
 

-----------------------------------------------
NATO Fighters IV+: Post-Dec2009 Update Pack # 5
-----------------------------------------------
 
This package contains a fifth update pack for the NATO Fighters IV+ (NF4+) add-on designed for "Strike Fighters 2: Europe" (SF2E) from ThirdWire. It does several things:
 
1) Adds new aircraft and ground objects
 
2) Adds new textures to existing aircraft

4) Updates or adds over 200 weapons and guns
 
5) Fixes or updates numerous other files in the
original NF4+ mod
 
6) Updates items for May2011 & Exp. Pack 2 compatibility
 
This update pack should be applied to SF2E/NF4+ installations that are patched to the Dec2009 or later patch level and that already have the first four NF4+ update packs applied.
 
IMPORTANT: If your NF4 installation includes Exp. Pack 2, you must be running at the May2011 patch level or later.
 
Please note the those running at the May2011 patch level or later will have an additional installation step to add update files for that patch level to their installations. Those running SF2E Expansion Pack 2 will have still another installation step (after installing the May2011 updates).
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
BEFORE YOU INSTALL
 
Before installing this update pack, please ensure that:
 
- your SF2E installation is patched to at least the Dec2009 patch level;
- the original NF4+ add-on is installed;
- the first four update packs (or patches) are applied to your NF4+ installation.
 
The four original NF4+ installation packages can be obtained from CombatAce:
 
http://combatace.com...-1-main-folder/
http://combatace.com...objects-folder/
http://combatace.com...craft-folder-1/

INSTALLING THE UPDATE
 
Installation of this update is simple.
 
1. Copy the contents of the \1_All_Patch_Levels directory to your SF2E Mod Folder,
overwriting as prompted.
 
If you are NOT running at the May2011 patch level or later (incl. exp. Pack 2),
then you're finished. If you are running at the May2011 patch level or later,
then proceed to the next step.
 
2. May2011 Patch Level: if you are running at the May2011 patch level or later, then
copy the contents of the \2_May2011 directory to your SF2E Mod Folder, overwriting
as prompted.
 
If your NF4+ install does NOT include Exp. Pack 2, then you're finished. If your
NF4+ includes Exp. Pack 2, then you have one more step.
 
3. Exp. Pack 2 Only: copy the contents of the \3_ExpPack2 directory to your SF2E Mod

Kesselbrut's
"Falklands '82" (Operation Corporate)
for Strike Fighters 2
--------------------------------------------------
 
This package contains an updated version of Kesselbrut's "Falklands '82" (Operation Corporate) mod package for Strike Fighters 2 (SF2). In addition to making the original mod compatible with SF2, this updated version also adds a number of other mods that were released in the years subsequent to Kesselbrut's original effort.
 
This update pack should be applied to SF2 or SF2V installations (or merged installs incorporating SF2 or SF2V) that are patched to the Dec2009 or later patch level, including Feb2010, Mar2010, May2010, Jun2010, Dec2010, Jan2011, May2011, Jun2011, Jul2011, or Aug2011. If you are running SF2 or SF2V at an earlier patch level and do NOT intend to update to one of the later patch levels mentioned above, you should NOT install this mod package.
 
Note that this is a COMPLETE mod package. There is no need to install the original "Falklands '82" mod for SFP1.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Before installing this mod package, please ensure the installation of Strike Fighters 2 that you intend to use is updated to at least the Dec2009 patch level (the Jun2010 patch level is recommended). The latest patches for Strike Fighters 2 can be downloaded from ThirdWire:
 
http://thirdwire.com/downloads.htm
 
Also, please be aware that the mod requires either the original Strike Fighters 2 (with the Desert terrain) or Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam (SF2V). If you will be using SF2V as a mod base, then you will have one additional step at the end of the installation process.
 
The main installation process consists of three main steps. Please read the following instructions carefully and follow them religiously. If you wind up with a non-working mod install, then you likely failed to follow the instructions properly.
 
NOTE: If you installed the verison of this mod released in Dec. 2010, we recommend that you NOT install this newer version over that older version. Instead, start from scratch, using a fresh/new Mod Folder.
 
STEP 1: PREPARE THE MOD FOLDER
 
This mod requires a separate mod folder. Please do not attempt to install this mod over or combine it with other mods such as NATO Fighter 4+ or the SF2V Expansion Pack.
 
- Open your SF2 Installation directory and make a copy of StrikeFighters2.exe or StrikeFighters2 Vietnam.exe, Rename the copy to StrikeFighters2_Falklands.exe (or whatever unique name you prefer).
 
- Run the newly copied and renamed .EXE file, then exit back out to the Windows desktop after navigating through a few menus. A custom Mod Folder for your Falklands'82 mod install will have been created in one of these locations:
 
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder]
Windows Vista: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder]
Windows 7: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder]
 
...where [YourModFolder] matches the name of the copied .EXE file that you created.
 
- Open your Mod Folder and delete the \Objects sub-directory (including everything in it).
 
Now you're ready to install the Falklands'82 mod proper.
 

STEP 2: INSTALL MAIN COMPONENTS TO MOD FOLDER
 
This is the easiest step.
 
- Unpack the SF2_Falklands82.7z archive package to a location on your hard drive.
 
- Move the contents of the \To_Mod_Folder directory to your Mod Folder (created in Step 1 above).
 
If you've moved everything correctly, you should have a new \Objects sub-directory in your Mod Folder, along with a few new other sub-directories.
 

STEP 3: EDIT OPTIONS.INI
 
This last step involves a bit of text editing, so please pay attention.
 
Open the Options.INI in your Mod Folder. Locate the "Instant Action" section and replace it with the following:
 
[instantAction]
AircraftType=HarrierFRS1
MissionMap=Malvinas
StartTime=15:15:00
StartDate=05/21/1982
StartTimeDeviation=10
TextureSet=0
NationalMarking=0
SquadronMarking=0
AircraftNumber=0
KillMarking=0
 
Just below the "Instant Action" section is the "Single Mission" section. At minimum you should change the EndYear= statement to 1983 or higher. I recommend setting the StartYear= and EndYear= as follows:
 
StartYear=1982
EndYear=1983
 
Save your changes and close the Options.INI file.
 

STEP 4: Optional Step for SF2V Users
 
This last step is for those who are using Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam (SF2V) as mod base instead of the original Strike Fighters 2 (with the Desert terrain). If your SF2 installation does not include the original SF2 (with the Desert terrain) and you're using SF2V as a mod base, then you must swap out terrain .INIs so that your MALVINAS.INI points to the correct .CAT file.
 
- In your SF2 Mod Folder, open the \Terrains\Malvinas folder. Delete the file Malvinas.ini.
 
- In \Terrains\Malvinas\Alt you will find the file Malvinas_vietnamsea.INI. Copy it to the \Terrains\Malvinas folder (just above the \Alt sub-folder) and re-name it to Malvinas.ini (thus replacing the file you deleted just above).
 
THAT'S IT. Your "Falklands'82 for SF2" mod should now be ready to use. You may consider installing some of the "optional" items as described in the next section.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation of Optional Items
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Included in the \Optional folder are a number of optional items that you may consider installing (if your installation has the required base installation items).
 
- Canberra62: this is an alternate version of the Canberra B.Mk62, based on the 3rdWire Canberra B.6 model. In order to use this model your base installation must include SF2E Expansion Pack 2. TO INSTALL, simply drag the \Canberra62 folder to your SF2 Mod Folder and drop it in \Objects\Aircraft. The campaigns will automatically start using this newer model.
 
- Harrier3: this is an alternate version of the Harrier GR.3, based on the 3rdWire model included in SF2E. In order to use this model your base installation must include SF2E. TO INSTALL, simply drag the \Harrier3 folder to your SF2 Mod Folder and drop it in \Objects\Aircraft. The campaigns will automatically start using this newer model.
 
- IAI-Dagger: this is an alternate version of the IAI Dagger, based on the 3rdWire Nesher model included in SF2I. In order to use this model your base installation must include SF2I. TO INSTALL, simply drag the \IAI-Dagger folder to your SF2 Mod Folder and drop it in \Objects\Aircraft. The campaigns will automatically start using this newer model.
 
- Mirage IIIEA: this folder contains an alternate Mirage IIIEA cockpit based on the 3rdWire Mirage IIICJ cockpit from SF2I. It is a replacement for the stock cockpit of the Mirage IIIEA and requires SF2I to be part of the installation. TO INSTALL, simply drag the \MirageIIIEA folder to your SF2 Mod Folder and drop it in \Objects\Aircraft, allowing it to overwrite file as prompted.
 
- WaterNormal: this folder contains various alternate WaterNormal.BMP files, which can be used to change the texture or appearance of the water in the Malvinas terrain. To use any of these alternate .BMPs, simply drag the file you wish to use to your SF2 Mod Folder and drop it in the \Terrains\Malvinas folder, allowing it to overwrite the version already there. Note: the default/original .BMP used by this mod is in the \3rdwire sub-folder.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Game Play Notes (PLEASE READ)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
There are some important things you should know about playing this updated version of the "Falklands '82" mod.
 
1. Single Missions vs Campaigns
 
Like the original "Falklands '82" for SFP1, the Malvinas terrain here is set up to use different years for Single Missions (i.e., "Create Mission") and the Campaigns.
 
Campaigns: both campaigns automatically start on May 1, 1982, and continue
into early June 1982.
 
Single Missions: when flying Single Missions, set the "Mission Date" to 1983. If
you set the date to 1982, you may get a CTD (crash to desktop)
when attempting to start the mission.
 
As Kesselbrut noted in his original ReadMe, game-generated single missions ("Create Mission") should be flown in 1983 because the only British air base on the islands was build in late May. If you have a mission date before May 29, 1982, the game will CTD becaue there is no air base for British aircraft to use. User-created missions (with a 1982 mission date) will work normally. British aircraft will still have to take off from a carrier before May 29, though, even in user-created missions for 1982.
 
2. Recommended "Gameplay Options"
 
Some of the island-based airfields are a bit rough. It is highly recommended that you change the "Landing" Game Play option to "Normal" or "Easy." If you use a "Hard" landing option setting, you may see aircraft exploding on the runway either because they start without landing gear deployed or because they lose their landing gear halfway down the runway. This is esp. true of Stanley Airfield.
 
You can fly all fixed wing aircraft on "Hard" or "Normal" Flight Model. Helicopters are best flown on "Normal" Flight Model.
 
3. Canberra Bomb Sight
 
In the Canberra, you can switch between Pilot and Bombadier with "Hook" key to use the bomb sight.
 
4. Carriers
 
All Carriers have zero speed. Were they allowed to sail normally, they would cruise wildly through the ship formations.
 
5. Infanty Speed
 
Note from Kesselbrut: "The infantry units have too much speed - when I use normal Footslogger speed there are no ground battles."
 

~~~~~~~~~~
Known Bugs
~~~~~~~~~~
 
There are a few bugs (none "showstoppers") that you should be aware of.
 
1. Stanley Airfield
 
The terrain on which this airfield resides is treacherous. The best we've been able to do is implement workarounds for this airfield's several problems.
 
First, as noted above, set your "Landing" Game Play option to "Normal" or "Easy."
 
Second, you will find that you will start missions off center on the runway. This is done to prevent you from losing your landing gear half-way down the runway. Do not veer across the center line when taking off (stay in your lane).
 
Third, even despite doing the above, you will notice that your aircraft is slow to accelerate and tends to bounce around a bit. You may even need to run off the end of the runway to get airborne.
 
With the exception of Skyhawks (whose spindly landing gear has real problems with this runway), all Argentine aircraft can be used from Stanley. Historically, though, the runway was off-limits to the fast jets -- e.g., A-4s and Mirages.
 
2. Non-paved Airfields
 
When taking off from non-paved airfields -- esp. the Port San Carlos FOB used by Harriers -- you will notice your landing gear sinking into the ground a bit. Also, some airfield runway textures may not appear. These are other quirks of the Malvinas terrain in SF2 that we have been unable to fix.
 
3. Rapier SAMs
 
The British Rapier SAMs will not fire in the Operation Corporate campaign due to a bug in SF2 that prevents the game from handling Blue-side static SAMs correctly.
 
4. Helicopters & AI Pilots
 
All helicopters in this mod have been made flyable. Set the "Flight Model in Game Play Options to "Normal, and use your thrust vectoring controls in conjunction with the standard SF2 flight controls to maneuver and fly the helos.
 
At the end of the day, though, Strike Fighters is NOT a helicopter sim. That means helo flight models are rough, unrealistic, and borderline unstable. It also means that AI helo pilots can occasionally run into difficulties, esp. when trying to land these things.
 
Until someone creates better helo flight models for SF2 (or TK updates the ThirdWire flight engine to accommodate helicopters), that's just the way it is. If you don't like the way the helos fly, then don't fly them.
 
5. Comrpnt's Missions
 
Comrpnt created an excellent set of historical missions for his "Falklands Mod & Mission Pack." While these work fine with the original "Falklands '82" mod for SFP1, we encountered significant problems when attempting to get them to work in SF2.
 
In particular, there appears to be a bug in SF2 that causes the game to refuse to start an aircraft on the ground at an offset east or west of the defined center of the airfield target area. This bug manifests itself only in user-created single missions for some reason. The consequence is that many aircraft in comrpnt's missions have problems taking off -- esp. from the Hermes or Stanley Airfield -- because they start on the ground in the wrong position relative to the runway (whether it be a carrier deck or a land-based runway).
 
As we could not resolve these problems or find an acceptable workaround for this bug, we have not included comrpnt's missions (though we have implemented other parts of his Falklands mod pack).

NATO Fighters IV+: Post-Dec2009 Update Pack # 4
-----------------------------------------------
 
This package contains a fourth update pack for the NATO Fighters IV+ (NF4+) add-on designed for "Strike Fighters 2: Europe" (SF2E) from ThirdWire. It does several things:
 
1) Adds new aircraft and ground objects
 
2) Makes several aircraft flyable
 
3) Adds new textures to existing aircraft
 
4) Updates over 100 weapons and guns
 
5) Fixes or updates numerous other files in the
original NF4+ mod
 
6) Updates items for Exp. Pack 2 compatibility
 
This update pack should be applied to SF2E/NF4+ installations that are patched to the Dec2009 or later patch level -- including Feb2010, Mar2010, May2010, Jun2010, or Dec2010 -- and that already have the first, second, and third NF4+ update packs applied.
 
Please note the those running SF2E Expansion Pack 2 (Dec2010) will have an additional installation step to add Exp. Pack 2 update files to their installations. There are also several "optional" items included in this package -- see below for more information on what they are and how to use them.
 
If you are running SF2E at the Jun2009b patch level and do NOT intend to update to one of the later patch levels mentioned above, you should NOT apply this update pack.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
BEFORE YOU INSTALL
 
Before installing this update pack, please ensure that:
 
- your SF2E installation is patched to at least the Dec2009 patch level;
- the original NF4+ add-on is installed;
- the first, second, & third update packs (or patches) are applied to
your NF4+ installation.
 
The four original NF4+ installation packages can be obtained from CombatAce:
 
http://combatace.com...-1-main-folder/
http://combatace.com...objects-folder/
http://combatace.com...craft-folder-1/
http://combatace.com...craft-folder-2/
 
The first three update packs can also be had at CombatAce:
 
http://combatace.com...09-patch-level/
http://combatace.com...-update-pack-2/
http://combatace.com...-update-pack-3/
 
The latest patches for Strike Fighters 2 can be downloaded from ThirdWire:
 
http://thirdwire.com/downloads.htm
 
INSTALLING THE UPDATE
 
Installation of this update is simple.
 
1. Copy the contents of the \All_Patch_Levels directory to your SF2E Mod Folder,
overwriting as prompted.
 
If you are NOT running Exp. Pack 2, then you're finished. If you are running
Exp. Pack 2, then you have one more step.
 
2. Exp. Pack 2 Only: copy the contents of the \Dec_2010_Patch directory to your
SF2E Mod Folder, overwriting as prompted.
 
That's it. You're finished. Please look over the next section on "optional" items included here that you may want to install.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Optional Items
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
The \_Optional directory included in this package contains files to make three aircraft flyable (one available only in Exp. Pack 2). If you have SF2I you might have already made the other two flyable, in which case you you do not need these files.
 
Here's what's available (by directory).
 
Canberra20: Contains files to make the Exp. Pack 2 Canberra B.20 flyable. If you
installed Exp. Pack to an install merged with the original SF2 (w/ the
mercenary canmpaign and Desert terrain) then the Exp. Pack 2 installer
should have dropped the Canberra20 in your \Aircraft folder. Simply
copy these files to your \Objects\Aircraft\Canberra20 folder to make
the aircraft flyable.
 
Mirage5F: Update 3 included files to make the Mirage 5F flyable, but additional files
from SF2I were required. If you do not have SF2I, you can use the alternate
files in this folder to make the Mirage 5F flyable. Simply copy these files
to your \Objects\Aircraft\Mirage5F folder to make the aircraft flyable.
 
MystereIVA: Update 3 included files to make the Mystere IVA flyable, but additional files
from SF2I were required. If you do not have SF2I, you can use the alternate
files in this folder to make the Mystere IVA flyable. Simply copy these files
to your \Objects\Aircraft\MystereIVA folder to make the aircraft flyable.

SF2 USAF Red Flag Nellis AFB Proving Grounds
Viper63a
 
This is my mod install for testing new aircrafts, objects and weapons. Once installed, I backup/zip the whole mod folder so I can reset it after testing whatever mod I am testing. It's also a Red Flag simulator. So if you want to take your favorite plane to Red Flag, here you go!
 
Red Flag Nellis AFB is a stripped down Strikefighter2 installation based in Nellis AFB with only a handful of flyable planes against the pre-loaded USAF F-15s/16s and Navy A-4s/F-5s/F-14s Aggressors (All AIs). There are no Campaigns, only Instant Action and Single Missions. I recommend setting the Enemy AI to "Hard" to get the most out of this install.
 
I added, tweaked, adjusted and created new items for this mod, but the lions share of this mod was created by other faithful modders on CombatAce - ALL CREDITS TO THEM! Thank you!
 
This mod is an expansion for "Hurc's Nellis Range Mod 2.0" mod, so you will need that mod as well...

http://combatace.com/files/file/12573-hurcs-nellis-range-mod/
 
Enjoy!
*******************************************************************************
 
Installation for fully merge installs only...Using SF2 Europe as an example.

3) Create a short cut of "StrikeFighters2 Nellis.exe" on your desktop.
4) Run the "StrikeFighters2 Nellis.exe" short cut. Once the game starts, Exit.
5) You have now created a new "StrikeFighters2 Nellis" mod folder in \user\...\Saved Games\...
 
Mine looks like this...Yours may/will look different.
C:\Users\<Your_Name>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Nellis\
 
* Download and install "Hurc's Nellis Range Mod 2.0":
1) If you haven't already - download, uncompress and install "Nellis Range 2.0" into your new SF2 Nellis Mod Folder.

4) Optional, set up the Pilot and Options menus to your liking or do this later. Exit Menu to Main.
5) Exit from Main.
 
* Configure and install the "Red Flag Nellis" Mod:
In the "C:\Users\<Your_Name>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Nellis\" folder...
1) Under the "Objects" folder, delete both "Aircraft" and "Decals" folders.
2) Uncompress "USAF RED FLAG..." zip file...
3) Copy the contents of "To_Mod_Folder" to your SF2 Nellis Mod Folder. Overwrite.
 
* Last steps...
1) Copy the "INITNELLIS.BMP" file from the new "Red Flag Nellis" Mod folder to "C:\...\Thirdwire\Menu" folder...
2) Edit "C:\...\Thirdwire\StrikeFighters2 Nellis.ini"...
a) Under [startup], change "LoadingScreen=" from "Menu\INITSCREEN.BMP" to "Menu\INITNELLIS.BMP". Save.
3) Edit "C:\Users\<Your_Name>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Nellis\Options.ini" file.
a) Under [instantAction], change "MissionMap=" from "GermanyCE" to "NELLIS_RANGE". Save.
 
* Now you have completed the install of the "USAF Red Flag Nellis AFB" and "Nellis Range" mod packs.
* I recommend setting the Enemy AI to "Hard" to get the most of this pack.
* Install any new or your favorite plane mods to test at the Nellis AFB.
