Fleet Defender Gold Theme for SF2 (1600x900)
By Caesar
Description:
This Fleet Defender Gold theme is a set of menus and music for Strike Fighters 2 in widescreen format: 1600x900. While the basic Fleet Defender theme has been done before for the SF series, Fleet Defender Gold hasn't been represented...until now. The CD-based FD Gold had a MIDI rock theme and early 3D video introduction to the Windows 3.x/95 installation, albeit it ALWAYS skipped. Using Audacity, I was able to fix that issue following track capture. FD Gold's theme seems to have fallen by the wayside compared to the basic DOS music, and it is unfortunate, since it has a great MIDI track. Well, it's back! Fleet Defender Gold still ran the main game in DOS: it was really just a combination of the original FD and its scenario disk, but was Windows compatible for installation and featured a few extras as well: a training section, videos from Aviation Week's "Flight Deck," previews for MicroProse's upcoming games, and most interestingly, the recording of the MiG-23 shoot-downs from the Second Gulf of Sidra incident.
The Package:
The main screen attempts to recreate "Bio" Baranek's famous picture of a VF-2 F-14A in a 30-degree nose up climb, which was used as the cover photo on the game box (albeit with a 1970's era Bullet) and utilizes the Windows FD Gold intro theme. The Single Mission, Loadout, Options, Pilot Record and Roster screens use the actual FD game background music. Campaign start screen uses the FD DOS Intro music. Mission Successful/Failed/Player Killed utilize the FD Mission Successful/Failed music, and the Credits and Medals screens use the FD Mission Successful music (akin to the Top Ten and Credits of the original game). A set of 1600x900 menus have also been made.
-------------
Installation:
NOTE: The theme was tested on an All-5 Merged install, patched to July 2013.
=============
CAUTION: If you didn't see in the description, these menus are in 1600x900 widescreen format! If you're using a different screen ratio, they probably won't work right. I will get around to doing a standard format in the future.
=============
In order to install:
1.) Copy the contents of this archive to a temporary folder.
2.) Create a new folder in your main Mod Folder (e.g. C:\Users\Name\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe) called "Menu" (if it doesn't already exist).
3.) Copy the contents of your temp folder into the Menu Folder.
4.) Launch the game!
OF NOTE:
If you can't support the 1600x900 format, or if you want to keep the default or other menu screens, you can still use the Fleet Defender music by only installing the .wav files and menu .ini's. To do so, only copy the .wav and .ini files to your Mod Menu 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 Upgraded F-16 Hangar, Loading and Loadout screens for F-16 Mod Packs By the Viper Team!
By Viper63a
SF2 Upgraded F-16 Hangar, Loading and Loadout screens for F-16 Mod Packs By the Viper Team!
By Me (No relations to the Viper Team!)
This is my upgraded F-16 Hangar, Loading and Loadout screens for most excellent F-16 Mods from "The Viper Team"'s (and one from dtmdragon - ADF) F-16 Mod packs. What I did was downloaded the F-16 packs from here...
http://combatace.com/files/category/666-f-16/
Then I combined them up. Upgraded all the Hangar, Loading, Loadout screen files. Then deleted everything but the Hangar, Loading, Loadout screen files to keep the folder structure. In theory, you should be able to copy my pack into your SF2 Mod folder, BUT I CAN'T RECOMMEND THAT since I don't know what F-16 you installed or how.
* Why did I do this?
I must be OCD, but I like all my Hangar and Loading screens to have the same format. I tried to match most of the plane to actual pix of planes for the Hangar and Loading screen. In many of the cases, I has to use generic planes because I could not find a decent picture of the plane.
Ok, this install is abit more complicated than my other mod/update/upgrades, but it's worth it. Well it was worth it for me.
* What is included in this pack:
*HANGAR.JPG
*LOADING.JPG
*LOADOUT.TGA
*NOTHING ELSE, NO LODS, SKINS, INIs....etc.
* What is changed:
Upgrades F-16 Hangar, Loading and Loadout screens in "...\Objects\Aircraft" only!
Installation:
* BEFORE YOU OVERWRITE ANYTHING - BACKUP!!!!
1) Sniper approach...
Take a look in my "*\To_Mod_Folder\Objects\Aircraft" folder. If you see a plane you have and want to upgrade with my screens, copy the screen files, one at a time, to your plane in your SF2 "...\Objects\Aircraft" Mod folder.
2) Shotgun approach...
Backup your SF2 ""...\Objects\Aircraft" mod folder, and then copy the contents of my "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your SF2 mod folder. If you don't have the plane I have, you will just get some extra folders in your SF2 mod folder and waste some space. If something goes nuts, then you have your backup? Right?
That's pretty much it...If I can sell (free, not money or anything - LOL) "The Viper Team" on these screens, it would just come "The Viper Team'S" F-16 packs...LOL, not pushing anything...just wishing. Love your work!!
------------------------------------------
Credits to "the Viper Team" for their Excellent F-16 Mods. Also and again, I have no associations with the Viper Team. We jut share the name and the admiration for F-16s - that is all.
Enjoy!

SF2 New Hangar, Loading, and Loadout Screens for Super Hornet Package for SF2 v3.8 3.7
By Viper 2015/08/06
These are upgraded/Alternate Hangar, Loading, and Loadout Screens for EricJ's Super Hornet Package for SF2 v3.8 3.7 package and new <Aircraft>.ini files to read them. It was released by EricJ and can be downloaded here. If EricJ saw fit to add this to his, I would be grateful.
Super Hornet Package for SF2 v3.8 3.7
http://combatace.com/files/file/9401-super-hornet-package-for-sf2-v38/
These replaces/adds to EricJ's package (STOCK ONLY) released on 11 Jan 2015. This (my) package DOES NOT include any LODs or other files from EricJ. It does include a new <AirCraft>.ini files so the right screens are read for display.
First!!! Always backup F/A-18s in your "...\Objects\Aircraft" folder. To install, copy the new "Airctaft" folder into your mod "Objects" folder. Overwrite and you're done.
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!

F-104, SF2 Hangar Screen
By Wrench
F-104 Hangar screen for SF2
This is a modification of the stock, SF/Wo* F-104G hangar screen to match the format used in SF2.
It's a rather simple addon, but adds just that little 'something' for you to look at whilst in the Hangar.
These screens can also be used on the CF-104, CF-104_72 and CF-104_76.
(sorry, no screenie!)
As always, full instructions in the enclosed readme. So read it!!!
Have Fun!!

Menu X (ODS)
By Brennus
Menu X (ODS) is a menu screen project for Operation Desert Storm that replaces the default (4:3) menu screens (loading screens and icons) w/ widescreen (16:9) photographic alternatives.
The file contains a small program by the name JSGME (JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler) which can enable or disable the mod when used correctly. It's optional but highly recommended.
The Saved Games folder should be extracted to "C:\Users\(Your User Name)". If you don't wish to use the JSGME program simply copy the various folders from the folder MODS and move them to "C:\Users\(Your User Name)\Saved Games\ThirdWire\Operation Desert Storm".
The Fonts folder contains the required fonts used by the GUI. Simply drag/drop the respective files to your Windows fonts library.
Also, I've included both an alternative Windows shortcut icon and a PNG for those that use a dock program. Both can be found in the Desktop folder.

SF2 WW2 ETO Bf-109E Hangar and Loading Screens
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2 ONLY =
This pack contains 2 new hangar and loading screens for RussoUK Messerschmitt Bf-109E-3, as
seen in Western/Northern Europe approximatley 1940-41.
This is for ETO 109Es only! The artwork depicts them in the Battle of Britain time frame.
These are in the famous "Box Art" style, and will replace the originals Russ did. I created
these as the old Hangar screen didn't quite fit SF2 formatting, and I got tired of looking
at the old ones! (Sorry Russ -grin- !!!).
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE
read them!!!
Enjoy!!

SF2 Europe Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens

SF2 Europe Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens
By Viper
This mod includes custom Cold War Era 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 Europe Mod folder.
My Win97 folder was..(yours may be different)...
