Part 3: http://combatace.com/files/file/15587-wings-over-korea-3-of-3/

The screens and sounds are more to "my" liking, nothing wrong with Do335's screens, just my preference and more friendly on the ears when wearing a headset. Download the pack, take a look and listen...let me know what you think.

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!

Medals Pack for SF2: WW2 Finland

By Capitaine Vengeur

This pack is intended to complement The Dev A-Team's all-inclusive mod Strike fighters 2 WW2 Finland, dedicated to the aerial campaigns over the Gulf of Finland and the Barents Sea during the Winter War and Continuation War. You are given here extensive lists of awards with related medals and citations, and a handful of minor assets (alternative lists of ranks, counters, etc). Of course, all of this work could also complement ShrikeHawk's mod about The Continuation War, available at CombatAce's downloads for SF2.

Three Medals lists have actually been designed for the Finns, the first one related to the Winter War (1939-40), the second to the first part of the Continuation War (1941-42), the third to its last part (1943-44). The earlier lists grant much more lenient criteria to be awarded the same distinctions you could also receive after 1942 spending more sweat, but above all prevent you to receive awards unavailable before they were established. For instance, besides harsher requirements, the 1943-44 list adds the Order of the Lion of Finland, established by the end of 1942, and also makes a few German decorations available when the Nazis at bay tried to forge closer ties with their loose co-belligerent.

In the same way of thinking, two Medals lists are provided for the Soviets, 1939-42 and 1943-45 (several older designs before 1943, many new orders established mid-42 and awarded by 1943, harsher requirements for awarding after 1943). Of course, the WW2 Soviet packs could be used with The Dev A-Team's all-inclusive mod for SF1 Wings over Russia, and for any mods involving the Soviet Air Forces during WW2.

You’ll just have to juggle with national Medals Lists according to the period of the War when you plan to start your campaigns. Regarding these lists, everything has been especially designed, when swapping files during an extensive career, for the decorations you were awarded with an older list both to be preserved with original look and citations, and not to be awarded a second inappropriate time thereafter. Don’t worry, everything is meticulously explained with several examples in my notes.

As you can notice on the screenshots, I chose to have the citations display the decorations’ names in original language without subtitle. Who can read Finnish here, raise your hand? Be easy, the awards you deserved are still announced in English on the Debrief Screen, and listed in English on your pilot’s Medal List Screen.

Finnish Air Force

Mannerheim Cross (2nd Class) *

Order of the Cross of Liberty (2nd, 3rd & 4th Classes)

Order of the Cross of Liberty (2nd, 3rd & 4th Classes with Oak Leaf) *

Order of the White Rose of Finland (Knight & Knight 1st Class)

Order of the Lion of Finland (Knight & Knight 1st Class) **

Medal of Liberty (1st Class)

Order of Alexander Nevskiy **

Order of the Red Star (2 possible awards)

Medal For Combat Service ²

SF2 Menu screen Pack

By pcpilot

-SF2 Menu screens and icons-
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. You are free to modify these files and use them as you wish as long as the files are not used in payware of any kind. If you use them, please remeber to give credit. These files are released to a great community of simmers at CombatAce and SimHq. Have fun and God bless.
Jeff "pcpilot" Gerald
Version Notes:
Ver.1.1 Changed file format to jpg. Also added initscreen.
Ver.1.2 Added Campaign screen, loadingscreen, and loading wav.

SF2 WOE Style Hangar Maker

By MKSheppard

Converted from my SF1 series hangar maker.

Is also available on my website at

http://www.alternatewars.com/Mods/SF2/SF2.htm

----------------------------------------

How to use:

1.) Copy your StrikeFighters2.exe or StrikeFighters2 Israel.exe or whatever.

2.) Rename it SF2 Hangar Maker.exe (or whatever).

3.) Run your new executable. Exit.

4.) Go to User\Saved Games\ThirdWire\SF2 Hangar Maker

5.) Unzip this file there/place them in that folder.

6.) Launch the game using the SF2 Hangar Maker.exe

7.) Remember to start the mission on the ground!

8.) Manuver the external camera directly overhead over the plane and take a screenshot, as big as you can take it without the user interface getting in the way.

9.) Exit WOE

10.) Go into either photoshop or paint shop pro.

11.) Load up the screenshot you took.

12.) Use the wand tool to select all green areas in the screenshot and delete it, making them the green area transparent.

13.) Move the aircraft into the center of the now mostly empty image, or enlarge the picture as needed.

14.) Create a drop shadow. With Paint Shop Pro, its:

EFFECTS (Menu)
3D EFFECTS
DROP SHADOW

The settings I've found to work well are

30 Horizontal Offset
30 Vertical Offset
65 Opacity
10 Blur
and pure black for color.

15.) Copy your drop shadowed aircraft to the clip board

16.) Load DEFAULTHANGARSCREEN.BMP (found in \Hangar Maker)

17.) Place your aircraft picture with the drop shadow onto DEFAULTHANGARSCREEN.BMP as a new layer.

18.) Move around the aircraft until you've gotten it into a good location.

19.) If the aircraft image is a bit too bright, reduce the gamma for the aircraft layer by 0.68.

20) Once you've gotten it where you want, save the image and put it into SF2.

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.

1680 x 1050 Mainscreen modification for SF2 (EXP2b Dec 2010)

By squid

1680 x 1050 Mainscreen modification for SF2 (EXP2b Dec 2010)

Just a first & simple attempt to make the SF2 series GUI more attractive, after my failed attempts to convert various nice menu mods for SF1 series (especially Kout's) or the very nice stock WOE one, for SF2.

This is just a generic main screen modification (having Europe in mind). If i have time and won't loose interest in this, i may try extend the modification to specialized versions for Vietnam, Israel, Europe and go even further with the changes and work in all screens as well.

Till then i am including the .PSD file also, feel free to play with it, (eg change the background image to your taste)

INSTALLATION:

Very easy. Unpack the archive somewhere safe and the copy the CONTENT of a GAME SPECIFIC folder to its's corresponding MOD directory. I.e. content of "To SF2_Europe mod folder" in most cases should end up in "c:\Username\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\" and so on.

Strike Fighters - North Atlantic New Mainscreens - The "I don't want to change anything else" Edition

By kout

Strike Fighters - North Atlantic

____________________________________________________________________

New Mainscreens - The "I don't want to change anything else" Edition
____________________________________________________________________

Notices_____________________________________________________________

(1) May overwrite files - back up first if this bothers you.
(2) Provided "as is" - use at your own risk.

Installation Instructions___________________________________________

The Strike Fighters 2 automatically scales the background image of
the menu's to fill your screen at its native/desktop resolution.
This distorts the image if you have a widescreen monitor.

This mod therefore includes to variants -- one for regular screens
with a 4:3 aspect ratio (e.g. 1024x768px or 1600x1200)which should
also work on screens with a 5:4 aspect ratio (1280x1024).

There is also a widescreen variant for screens with an aspect ratio
of 16:10 or 16:9 (e.g. 1920x1200 or 1920x1080).

> The regular aspect mainscreens are located in the folder "Normal"
> The widescreen mainscreens are located in the folder "Widescreen"

Each folder contains two subfolders, "A-6" and "F-14".

> Decide whether you want an A-6 or a F-14 themed mainscreen and
copy the relevant "mainscreen.bmp" file to the MENU folder in
your Strike Fighters North Atlantic mods folder.

> For more information on the mods folder, please see:
http://combatace.com/topic/62302-what-is-the-mod-folder/

> If you don't have a MENU folder, create one by selecting File >
New > Folder in the explorer menu.

> Copy the file named MAINSCREEN.INI to your MENU folder as well.

That's it.

Counters & screens for SF2: Korean Air War

By Capitaine Vengeur

I had once worked on several annual campaigns for the mythic Korean Air War Complete Mod for SF1, uploaded at CombatAce by Edward in 2005. I planned one campaign for each of the years 1951, 1952 and 1953, with actually one UN-sided and one Red-sided campaign for each year, six campaigns in all. Though the R&D work was very advanced, I have given up since long, and for the moment, I don't plan to reinvest time in this project before long. Yet there were many related works that I could deliver here for SF2:KAW after a swift conversion in picture format:

A batch of colorful, reduced-size counters, devoted to each of the nationalities significantly present during the Korean War, 1950-53. Besides having a more attractive map and less confused stacks, you can also find more easily the units you're after. As a rule, the counters with rectangular national flags and brigade/division/corps/army devices show the ground units, while the counters with roundels concern the air units.
Lots of screens initially intended to be linked to the campaigns I planned, now converted to jpg format (start screens, daily missions briefings, or campaign victory/ draw/defeat debriefings).
For each of the six planned campaigns, a briefing synopsis, and three end-of-campaign debriefings in case of victory/draw/defeat.

There is no notice about installation. Just consider everything graciously given here as raw materials to be renamed at will for building your own campaigns. Some new materials could also be uploaded in a next future.

SF2 Vietnam Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens and Music!

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)...

StrikeFighters2 Replacement Hi-Res Spash Screens

StrikeFighters2 Hi-Res Replacement Spash Screens
By Viper
Replacement spash (Initializing, Please Wait) screen for SF2. Uncompress the zip file and copy the *.bmp files into "<Your Install location>\Strike Fighters 2\Menu\" folder...where-ever you installed SF2.
Simple install: Backup your "INITSCREEN.BMP" and rename one of the new BMP you like to "INITSCREEN.BMP" and all your SF2 starts will show the new splash screen.
Complex Install: If you want each of your games to have a different splash screen...Back up and edit the <game>.ini file for the <game>.exe you want to change the splash screen for in the "<Your Install location>\Strike Fighters 2\" folder. Update the "LoadingScreen=" parm with the name of splash screen you want to display on start up: ex. "LoadingScreen=Menu\INITSCREEN (1).BMP".
Note: If you copied the <game>.exe file to some other name, you have to copy the <game>.ini file to the same name as a the <game>.exe file. Also, the splash screen has to be a BMP file...PSD included so you can make your own.
Thanks to "Squid" for the idea and some elements from his screens!
Enjoy!

SF2 Israel Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens

SF2 Israel Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens
By Viper

This mod includes custom Israeli Air Force (IDF) themed menu screens and pilots. No other (Hangar, Loading or Campaign) screens or INI files are changed. 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 MENU, FLIGHT 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 Flight and Menu folder to your StrikeFighter2 Israel Mod folder.

My Win97 folder was..(yours may be different)...
