SF2 F-4 Loadouts
By malibu43
SF2 F-4 Loadout by malibu43
This package contains updated loadout.ini files for all the stock F-4's in the SF2 series. They are based off of real world loadouts from various conflicts (especially Vietnam), but are not 100% accurate. This is due to a few things:
1.Did not want to do anything that required editing aircraft's data.ini files. With all the patches and updating going on, it could turn into a nightmare to keep updated.
2.It uses mostly stock weapons (only one additional weapon is included). This pack is meant to be enjoyable in a stock install. I didn't want to require users to download all kinds of weapons or weapons packs. It's extra work and it also can make the mod harder to keep updated (see #1).
3.The loadouts may vary from real world examples to make them more useful in the fictional TW world. For example, CAS loadouts in Vietnam utilized munitions that were effective against groups of troops in the jungle (napalm, rockets, etc...). F-4's in SF2E or SF2 (or even stock SF2V for that matter) will be facing massive columns of enemy tanks advancing across open fields. Therefore, these loadouts are more likely to use CBU's, Rockeyes, and AGM-65's. Another good example is most of the stock USAF F-4's carrying ARM's for SEAD in these loadouts. That didn't happen in real life, but we don't have F-4G's so I let it go so that some form of effective SEAD still happens.
So, these loadouts will be usefull in an SF2 install that doesn't already have more accurate F-4 loadouts added. For example, I wouldn't use these in place of the F-4 loadouts in the SF2V A/G Exp Pack. Those loadouts have already been set up to be accurate for the specific conflict that pack is representing.
Some examples of the changes:
- Wing tanks and gun pods not used on USN F-4's
- USAF, IAF, UK, and German F-4's don't carry AIM-9's when A/G munitions are carried on that pylon
- USMC nation specific loadouts for F-4B's and J's. (with gun pods and zuni's)
- Triple LAU-3 loadouts for USMC F-4's. These are selectable via the mission editor.
- Gun pods not part of the default loadouts for F-4M before 1975.
- Additional strike loadouts for USAF and IAF F-4's that utilize asymetric loadouts with LGB's and Laser Pods. These are selectable via the mission editor.
- Additional loadouts for UK F-4's that include BL755's, 540lbGP bombs, and "triple Matra" rocket pod loadouts. These are selectable via the mission editor.
- etc...
Installation.
1. Copy the contents of the Aircraft folder into the Aircraft folder in your SF2 Mod directory (if you don't know what that is, check the Knowledg Base section at combatace.com).
Note: If you don't have a merged install with all 6 titles, check you aircraft folder to see what F-4's are installed and only copy the corresponding folders from this .rar file. If you copy all of them, you won't have any issues, but it may be confusing to look in your aircraft folder and see aircraft that aren't actually installed.
2. Copy the contents of the Weapons folder into the Weapons folder in your SF2 Mod directory.
3. If you have the TW DLC F-4N or the 3rd party F-4S available at combatace, the "Optional" folder has loadouts for them as well.
Known issues:
- The "triple rocket pod" load outs for USMC and RAF F-4's load extra rocket pods on the sidewinder stations instead of a TER. This is a work around since loading rocket pods on a TER is not possible at this point without extension data.ini editing, and I didn't want to do that in the interest of keeping this mod simple.

Wings Over World Menu Screens
By Menrva
Wings Over World Menu Screens
January 13th, 2019 (1st Release)
by Menrva
>For Strike Fighters 2 games
This package is my personal conversion of the beautiful Strike Fighters: Project One menu screens, with a number of enhancements for use in Strike Fighters 2. The main menu screen is a reworked version of the NACA Main Screen released by Camouflage (Checksix-fr.com). The title I chose for the main menu screen is "Strike Fighters: Wings Over World", in honor of the old WOE/WOV/WOI series of SF1 games. I find this name suitable for those who have a large mod folder spanning different world scenarios.
Here below a quick summary of enhancements and additions:
-All the music tracks from the SF games have been included; now there's a unique track for each screen.
-Hangar Screen has got the hangar noise sounds which were present in the SF1 games.
-Option to turn Lens Flare off as in the SF1 games is back.
-Opportunity to change pilot at the Campaign Screen is reintroduced, as in the SF1 games.
-Briefing Screen has been reintroduced for eye-candy (it has a small string "bug" with certain missions, since ThirdWire's removal of the FAC mission type).
-Added generic _briefing.ini files for all the stock SF2 terrains (terrains without a _briefing.ini file might cause CTDs when accessing the Briefing Screen).
-Added Launch/Fly button in the Briefing, Loadout, Flight Roster and Planning Map screens.
-Added the missing PILOTPIC25 bitmap which is available in the SF1 games.
-Loading Screen shows a generic runway and a new, longer loading sound is used.
-Mission Editor DLC is supported with a new screen in the same style of the other screens.
-Campaign Customizer DLC is supported with a new screen in the same style of the other screens.
-Disabled unnecessary functions of the the System Menu, such as accessing ThirdWire's online site for viewing the game manual.
As a bonus, the package includes 42 single missions taking place across all theatres of the SF2 series; most of them have been made by ThirdWire and released in their SF1 games. Five single missions are Instant Action scenarios of Strike Fighters 2, which I converted to be choosable and playable in the Single Missions Screen. Additional missions include historical scenarios created by guyran for the Israel theater. I renamed all single missions to use a nicer naming convention. Needless to say, all SF2 titles must be installed to be able to play all the missions.
In addition, I have tweaked some Flight folder files to improve the realism of the game's HUD and in-game map. Since users may not like such changes, those files are not included by default, they must be installed manually. They can be found inside the "(Additional Tweaks)" folder. Here below a quick summary of changes they bring:
-Disabled all the unuseful Labels when viewing the in-game map.
-Disabled the arcade cones; lock your target and press F4 to visually track it.
-Tweaked icons' colours so that they match the text's colours.
-The in-game text background is less noticeable.
-Text's font is now different, it is generally smaller and less obtrusive.
-No more red and blue arcade squares when locking objects on; a faint yellow square is now used.
-The white triangle showing the next waypoint is now a faint yellow, unlike the default strong white.
-Disabled the radar box display; check the radar of your plane's cockpit, instead.
>Credits (in no particular order):
-ThirdWire, for the fantastic menu screens which are included in the stock SFP1 game.
-kout, for the System Menu icon I have taken from his SF1 Grey Main Menu Replacement mod.
-Camouflage, for the NACA Main Screen (still available at the archives of Checksix-fr.com), which I have reworked.
-HomeFries, for the planning map enhancements available in his Semi-Transparent Map Icons package.
-Viper63a, for the Loading sound, which I got from one of his menu mods.
-paulopanz, for collecting and updating guyran's WOI custom missions properly to SF2 standards.
-guyran, for the original custom missions he created for Wings Over Israel.
-KJakker, for his interest and welcome support.

StrikeFighters2 Vietnam Hi-Res 1920x1080 Menu Screens and Music!
By Viper63a
SF2 Vietnam Hi-Res 1920x1080 Menu Screens and Music v5
By Viper 05/17/2020
Note: I removed all the nation sounds from this Menu packs for size reasons. If you intend to install the "VIPER63A HQ Menu Sounds" pack, please install that pack first. Installing the HQ Sound pack over the Menu pack may overwrite some of the menu specific music files. You can always re-install this menu pack to get the menu specific theme music back.
This mod includes custom "vietnam Era" themed menu screens, pilots and (w/ 60s) music. You should unzip this package and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better.
1) Backup (copy) your FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folder. I "highly" recommend that you (if you can) "RENAME" your Menu folder and let this mod create a new Menu folder for you. If you had installed any other menu mods, that may conflict with this Menu mod.
2) To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder. Don't forget to back up before loading any mods!
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win10 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Vietnam\
3) To uninstall, delete the folders updated by this mod and copy (rename) your backed up folder to FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA.
Enjoy!

F/A-18E/F OEF/OIF Historical Loadouts ver 2.3
By EricJ
A small file that updates the FA_18F Loadout.ini with a few historical loadouts that I found and setup from various reference pictures I have on my hard drive. Some are by squadron as it seemed they all had their own ideas as far as what was used in the referenced period of time. The PDF readme has a graphical representation of the loadouts for easy reference.
If you have any other pictures PM me and I can add it, along with the time the photo was taken. Note an E version is in the works and will be included when I update this file.

SF2 Series Menu Screen Templates
By Wrench
Menu Screen Templates for SF2 series 5/20/10
This is a pack of Photoshop PSDs for the following menu screens:
Debrief
Loadout
MedelList
Options
PilotRecords
PlanningMap
Roster
SingleMission
The Hangar Screen will be released seperatly, as that needs a more intensive readme, with full instructions for 'how to..', in particular on editing screenshots for use.
They are multi-layered, with redrawn seperator lines, 'blackboards' for the displayed text, and new backgrounds. The background included herein a more of a 'generic' type, of various sky scenes. All the 'hot spots' for the mouse remain in the stock positions.
They are the standard size of 1024x768, as used by 3rd Wire. Although in PSD format for Photoshop, they should be usable in any other program that can open and work PSDs.
As always, read the readme for full instruction, and details for use.
Happy Landings!

Revised SF2 F-105_66 Loadout Option
By Piecemeal
After looking at various real life pictures of F-105s I noticed that more often than not, F-105s going into combat carried an ECM pod on one outer pylon and a Shrike missile on the other. The option to make this selection isn't possible in the stock F-105D_66 so I decided to edit the stock DATA and LOADOUT inis to give a more accurate depiction, or to at least give the user the option to select this loadout before flying missions.
Just pop these INI files into your F-105_66 folder and you're ready to go.

SF2 Europe A-10A Loadout Mod
By malibu43
SF2E A-10A Loadout Mod Readme
by Malibu43
This mod contains some alternative loadouts for the two A-10A variants in SF2E, as well as a modified LAU-88 rack that allows 2 AGM-65's to be carried vs 3 (Based on images and forums I've read through, this seems to be more accurate. From what I understand, A-10's are never loaded with 3 AGM-65's on one rack). In addition to hopefully being a little more accurate, it also makes CAS a little more fun as it will require you to use something other than guided, stand-off weapons to complete the mission (they put that big gun on the front for a reason!). Strike, Recon, and SEAD loadouts have been tweaked as well.
New loadouts are as follows:
Attack:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
4 x AGM-65
4 x MK20
Strike:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
2 x AGM-65
4 x MK82
SEAD:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
4 x AGM-65
4 x CBU-24B
Anti-ship:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
2 x MK84
FAC:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
2 x LAU-32A
Recon:
2 x AIM-9
1 x ALQ-131
2 x LAU-32A
2 x AGM-65
2 x MK82
2 x CBU-24B
1. Requirements:
- SF2E
- You have the LAU-32A rocket pod installed (included in Nato Fighters 4+). If you don't have the LAU-32A installed, you can do a find and replace for "LAU_32A" in both of the included loadout files and replace that with "LAU-3A", which is a stock weapon.
2. Installation:
a. Extract the contents of this .rar file somewhere temporary.
b. Drop the folder named "2_LAU-88A" into *SF2E Mod Folder*/Objects/Weapons
c. Drop the two *_loadout.ini files into their respective aircraft folders (A-10A, A-10A_78) in the *SF2E Mod Folder*/Objects/Aircraft directory.
3. Enjoy!
If there are any questions or problems, please PM me at Combatace.com.
This mod may not be used in any payware. It can be used for free as long as appropriate credit is given.
Thanks,
Malibu43
Note: updated 9-29-10 to correct LAU-32A entries.
Note: updated again on 9-30 to correct... LAU-32A entries
Note: updated 3-13-11 to correct LAU-32A entries and change some loadouts
Note: updated 7-8-11 to correct an error in naming the new LAU-88 rack. Don't know how that wasn't missed before...
Note: Jeez.. Updated 7/11/11 to account for a change with the July '11 patch.

Installing the HQ Sound pack over the Menu pack may overwrite some of the menu specific music files. You can always re-install this menu pack to get the menu specific theme music back.
I've seen some very nice screens in 1920x1080 mode, so I thought I'd give it try. So here is my "Top Gun" contribution! Special thanks to Homefies and Spectre8750 for their contributions that led me here...
This mod includes custom "Top Gun" themed menu screens, pilots and music. I used the MENU INI files to reuse the music files for different menus. This reduces the size of the package as I don't have duplicates of the same music files for different menus. You should unzip the file and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better.
If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up your FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder.

SF2 Jane's USAF Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens and Music!
By Viper63a
SF2 Jane's USAF Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens and Music!
By Viper
The Janes' Combat Flight Simulation Series! Every flight Sim'mer worth their wings remembers those! My favorite was the USAF! This package pays tribute to that old beautiful bird. It took me awhile to create this, so feedbacks and ratings would be highly appreciated...Enjoy!
This mod includes custom "Jane's USAF" themed menu screens, pilots and music. This mod uses customized INI files to drive the sights and sounds of the Strike Fighter 2 interface to look like Jane's USAF.
Unzip the package and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better (More on this later).
If you choose to install this package, I recommend that you back up (copy) your FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this package into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
* To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder. I designed this package for SF2 Europe, but it should work for all SF2 series games.
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Europe\
* To remove, simply delete the active FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders and replace with the back up copies you made prior to the install.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Extras and additional info...
In the MENU folder, you will find three (3) other folders...
1) Alternates Folder - Contains "Alternate" Campaign, Options, Pilot, and Single Mission screens. If you like one of these better, just copy them to the main "MENU" folder and rename them to the correct names...
CampaignScreen.jpg
OptionsScreen.jpg
PilotRecordScreen.jpg
SingleMissionScreen.jpg
...for whichever files you are changing...
2) Music-Jets Folder - Contains alternate sound package. If the default music is too much for you, just copy the contents of this file into the default "MENU" folder. Most of the music will be replaced with jet sounds.
3) Music-On Folder - Contains the default INI files that will turn on all the music again.
Enjoy!

SF2 Area 51 Test Pilot Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens!
By Viper63a
SF2 Area 51 Test Pilot Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens!
By Viper
So, I do a lot of mod testing, I hate testing a new mod on an existing install I play on, so I have a dedicated install using the Nellis Terrain pack for testing new mods. This is the menu screens I use for that install. However, you can use these screens for any SF2 series if you like.
1) Creating a new mod install...First, you need to create a new Tester Mod game and folder. You can use any SF2 Series Game as a base. In your install folder (the merged Thirdwire folder), copy and renamed "StrikeFighter2 Europe" (exe and ini file) to "StrikeFighter2 Area51" (I used "StrikeFighter2 Europe" for my tester base - you don't have to). Run it to create the "Saved Game" mod folder.
2) Unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders from this package to your new StrikeFighter2 mod folder.
My StrikeFighter2 mod folder on Win7 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Area51\
3) To remove the new mod folder, just delete it and you're done. If you want to reset your tester install, rerun "StrikeFighter2 Area51" and copy the menus back into the reset mod folder.
4) Test more mods in a new clean tester install...
Enjoy!

This pack includes all the menu screens and icons you need to turn SF2, or any version of Strike Fighters into a WW2 Pacific air war install. What it DOES NOT include are campaign or instant action inis, or the icons for the in-game map. I decided this pack was enough as there are already some excellent files of that nature available on CombatAce website. I highly recommend Baltikas' campaigns for a start. Also check out Dfangs' in-flight map icon packs located here... http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=1829
To install, simply un-pack the menu and flight folder into your SF2 mods located here for WinXP...
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2.
If You are running Vista or Win7, then this is the File Format.This is where you should find your "Mods" folder.
<User Name>/Saved Games/ThirdWire/StrikeFighters2 PAW/Menu
Also, for the initscreen, you need to do this...Go to your main install of the game. Mine is here...C:\Program Files (x86)\ThirdWire\Strike Fighters 2 PAW. Place the INITSCREEN.bmp in the Menu folder. Then, go back out of the menu folder and rename your StrikeFighters2.ini to whatever you have called your exe for your PAW install. Mine is StrikeFighters2 PAW.ini. I then opened the ini and added the following line under the [sTARTUP] heading...LoadingScreen=Menu\INITSCREEN.BMP. It should look like this...
[startup]
IntroMovieList=
LoadingScreen=Menu\INITSCREEN.BMP
StartupScreen=MainScreen
Keep in mind this isn't all the screens in the pack, just a sample. Hope ya like 'em. These files are released under the CombatAce Freeware Licensing agreement.

StrikeFighter2 World War II (ETO) Hi-Res 1920x1080 Menu Screens and Music!

StrikeFighter2 World War II (ETO) Hi-Res 1920x1080 Menu Screens and Music!
By Viper
This mod includes custom "World War II" themed menu screens and pilots for the ETO package I hope someone will make in the future (if not already made that I don't know about). You should unzip the file and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better.
If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up (make a copy of) your FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder.
To remove, simply delete the FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders and rename the copies you made to FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders.
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit would be something like...
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\<Name of your ETO mod folder>\
Enjoy!

SF2 Vietnam Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens and Music!
By Viper63a
SF2 Vietnam Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens and Music!
By Viper
Special thanks to Homefies and Spectre8750 for their contributions that led me here...
This mod includes custom "Vietnam Era" themed menu screens, pilots and music. God willing, this is the final version!
What's new?
1) Cut and looped the menu music so they are smaller and loops nicely in the menu.
2) Entended the loading wav so the sound doesn't cut out while the game is trying to load all the mods (LOL).
3) Updated and completedly redid the Stock and Expanded Vietnam Campaign screens (More of this later).
4) Changed, added and updated some of the menu screens! I can never leave well enough alone...sorry.
5) PLus a couple of easter eggs...well not much of an easter egg...it's on the first screen...
Campaign screens: There are two new folders in the package. 1) Campaigns and 2) !Optional...
1) The "Campaigns" folder contain new images for the Vietnam Campaigns. This is optional, but I think they look better when in Campaign mode...
2) The "!Optional" folder contain new images and INI files for the Vietnam Expand Air and Ground War. Read the "Read-Me" in that folder for more detail.
Un-compress the package and browse the content. As usual, there are alot of alternate screens you may like better. If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up your CAMPAIGN, FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed CAMPAIGN, FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder. If you have the "Expanded Vietnam Air & Ground War" Package installed, take a look and copy the CAMPAIGNS folder in the "!Optional" folder into your mod folder as well. Don't forget to back up before loading any mods!
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...

SF2 WOE Style Hangar Screens Version 1.2
By MKSheppard
Updated my SF1 WOE Style Hangar screens to work in SF2.
You can also get them from my website here

If you've hit your daily download limit from Combat Ace
------------------------
Strike Fighters 2 Wings over Europe Style Hangars version 1.2 by Ryan Crierie (MKSheppard)
Version 1 released 12/23/2009.
Version 1.2 released 12/24/2009.
Updates over my original SF1 series hangars:
1.) The original BMP files which took up 460~ MB have been resampled into 1% compression JPEGs which take up only 156~ MB.
2.) They have been sorted into folders, for easier installation and most should use the naming convention for SF2.
Count is about 300~ hangar files -- some repeat, like for F-8H and F-8H_69.
I have copied some aircraft INIs over and changed the hangar file pointers to more standard formats, e.g.
AIRCRAFTNAME_Hangar.jpg
rather than
Sabrehangar.bmp

By Viper 05/17/2020
Note: I removed all the nation sounds from this Menu packs for size reasons. If you intend to install the "VIPER63A HQ Menu Sounds" pack, please install that pack first. Installing the HQ Sound pack over the Menu pack may overwrite some of the menu specific music files. You can always re-install this menu pack to get the menu specific theme music back.
Unzip the package and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing to see what you're getting. If you choose to install this package, I recommend that you back up your FLIGHT, MENU, CAMPAIGNS and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this package into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
* To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed CAMPAIGNS, FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder.
