2. What's inside:
 
This is intended to be an overall enhancement to the SF2 Vietnam experience without having to hunt for, download, and install some of the "must have" mods for the game.
 
-Two new campaigns that are centered around fighting in South Vietnam
-Green Hell 2
-Brian32's Tiles
-Widesky Environment Mod
-Flyable A-1H/J, A-6A, and F-111A w/ weapons and loadouts where neccessary
-F-105G, Flyable B-57B, B-57G
 
 
 
3. Installation:
 
Install and Patch Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam. Run the game once.
 
Simply drop the contents of the "Add to SF2V MOD Folder" into your Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam mod folder (NOT the folder that the game installs to). For me, on XP, the folder is: C:\Documents and Settings\Gregg\My Documents\ThirdWire
 
Download the FOTI A-6A from here:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5014
 
Copy the "cockpit" folder from the .rar file and drop it into the A-6A aircraft folder in your SF2Vietnam mod directory.
 
 
4.Known Issues
 
Default CAS loadout for A-1's should include CBU-25's on the outer wing stations, but the AI doesn't know how to use that weapon. So, load them onto your own aircraft, but don't load them on AI!
 
5.Legal stuff:
 
I have signed onto the freeware "list" on combatace.com. As such, the work here can be included or used in other mods as along as they aren't payware and credit is given to the creator(s).
 
 
Thanks,

TRUE VPAF
 
Decals, Skins and Userlists
 
A mod to enhance our SF-2 immersion, to use mostly in our custom campaigns.
 
In fact I was bored of all that Charlies whith all the same serial numbers for every plane model …
 
So I took the real numbers and made the correct serial for EVERY known VPAF plane.
 
You’ll find the Ace’s name who flown each aircraft, if known, beside his number, too.
 
I worked on the userlists to alllow the program to use in VietnamSea theatre a VPAF and not a Soviet Skin.
 
These are models You have:
 
Mig-17 20 planes
 
Mig-17F 178 planes (some others not confirmed are omitted)
 
Mig-17PF 10 planes and new skin.
 
Mig-19S/J-6 60 planes (correct userlist for Mig-19S)
 
Mig-21F 30 planes and a new skin little reworked.
 
Mig-21PFV (or better PFL) 30 planes
 
Mig-21PFM 111 planes
 
Mig-21MF 60 planes
 
Mig-21bis [bonus plane (not for Vietnam war)] with skin, correct userlist and 42 known plane numbers.
 
Mig-15 UTI (only one number is known, the other are presumed) Skin for Pasko/Shusjake model [http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=8547] and new userlist file included.
 
Mig-15 bis (only 7 number are known, the plane has’nt a great usage) Skin for Pasko/Shusjake model and new userlist file included.
 
Il-28 There was a squadron of 8/10 planes that took not active partecipation in Vietnam war, but now you have the choice to use. (Only tree numbers are known and only one is confirmed, the others are “presumed” by me). Silver and Green skin are included togheter with a correct userlist.
 
To install: let the new folders in the pack override previous ones. Stock install is not modded except for Mig-17F and Mig-21PFM that use only new number sets that are over 100!

FLY THEM ALL (CHARLIE INCLUDED)
 
This is a simple upgrade in three steps (readme) of new stock Rolling Thunder campaign.
 
You will fly every plane (except B-52s), that you have to upgrade to be flyable (I have included links for combat.ace cockpits or planes with cockpit to use):
A-1H/J
A-6A
B-57B
Mig-17F
Mig-19S
Mig-21F
Mig-21PFV
Mig-21PFM
Mig-21MF
 
of every nation involved:
RAAF
VNAF
VPAF
 
I have also unlocked A-4B_65 from SPF2
 
So you need some basic modding skill ...
 
I hope you enjoy like me "fly them all" and sometimes the bad guys, too.
 
Paolo :yes:
