SF2 HC-130B Hercules USCG (3W/TMF)                   10/25/2025
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Any & All, Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
Another "Found In The Archives" Salvage Job
This is a mod using the skins from a 1stGen (SFP1) mod by The Mirage Factory from 2006. While doing some clean up on my archives, I stumbled across this. Originally, it was for an EC-130V with the fuselage mounted radar rotodome, making use of the stock 3W C-130A lods. As it was painted in US Coast Guard colors, it was a simple matter to NOT add the rotodome, and just convert to a CG SAR and Patrol Bird. Please note, the Real Life B model has 4 bladed props, whilst the 3W A model has only 3 bladed props. Simply, because that was all that was available in 2006. 
All textures have been converted to jpg format. All markings are decals, excepting standard USCG painted on colors. This aircraft has 12 100% historically accurate serial numbers (BuNums), all matched to their Modex numbers. As we have no "US Coast Guard" as a stock nation in game, I've assigned it "USN" (sorry Coasties!).
Even though this is more designed for "Eye Candy", you get a new Hangar Screen and engine, flap and landing gear sounds. A cockpit is included, by Dels from his Early Model Herks (tm). Other adjustments have been made, see "Notes" for Change List. The cargo bay door opens with the bomb bay keystroke. 
On the Aircraft selection Dropdown on the Main Screen, you'll see:
HC-130B Hercules (3W/TMF)
This will, of course, keep it differentiated from any other USCG Hercs that might be flying around.
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! Please read the Notes section for other useless information, and (hopefully) full credits. All original readme's are included.

Happy Landings!

SF2 F-5A(G) Norway 'Freedom Fighter' by Suhsjake/The Mirage Factory                   10/21/2025
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Any & All, Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
This is a remod of Suhsjake's mod of The Mirage Factory's F-5A(G) "Freedom Fighter" as used by the Royal Norwegian Air Force for use in SF2. I've taken the liberty of making some significant changes, similar to seen in the F-5A (TMF) remod recently released. Unlike the original mod, this is a "Nationalized", single user, non-exported version. Although, in Real Life (tm) some were passed on to other NATO users.
This mod contains 4 skins representing 2 RoNAF squadrons in differing time periods. Each skin uses the "StartDefaultDate" switch; markings change accordingly.
336 Sqdn NMF <1966 (code PX)
332 Sqdn NMF <1972 (code AH)
332 Sqdn NMF <1975
336 Sqdn Gray <1986
All skins remain in their original bmp format, at 1024x1024. All markings are decals. All aircraft have 24 historically accurate serial numbers, (almost) all matched to 'plane in squadron' letters where possible. Within the Decals folder, is a subfolder with various PSDs I used for the squadron and aircraft marking letters, plus a bunch of research papers on RoNAF F-5s (some are in Norwegian, btw)
A new pilot figure and ejection seat are included. All sounds and weapons use Stock In-Game (tm) 3rd Wire items. This simplifies matter greatly. The TMF original wingtip and center line drop tanks are included, in their original colorations. The original TMF effects are included, and updated to SF2 standard. The canopy operates with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero).
On the Aircraft selection Dropdown on the Main Screen, you'll see:
F-5A(G) Freedom Fighter (RoNAF)TMF
This will, of course, keep it differentiated from any other Norwegian F-5s that may exist.
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! Please read the Notes section for other useless information, and (hopefully) full credits. All original read mes are included.

Royal Danish Air Force Starfighters. 
This mod is not to compete with any previous packs. It is just my different approach. So before removing/overwriting some older stuff, test this one - as you may not like it. 
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) 
Install:
Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination.
A fake pilot is required to run this mod. Also, the Thirdwire F-104 cockpit is required from the original game. 
Fuel tanks- Tanks are just ini files. The mod uses tanks that are part of an aircraft lod.
Before uploading, I was hoping I could finish the cockpit. But sometimes the universe has different plans...so you will have to wait for the proper cockpit, probably 2 more weeks. And for TF too.
In the game, under a prefix.KDF. * You will find  F-104G / CF-104  that served in the Royal Danish Air Force.
* Kongelige Danske Flyvevåbnet
First, I planned to upload both CF-104 and F-104G. But I think it will be quite appropriate and okay to make them as one F-104G. After acquiring the Canadian CF-104, airframes were castrated into the F-104G standard. Unlike other operators of the CF-104, these airframes had only a few differences compared to the Lockheed F-104G. With only visible counterweights on wing pylons, which probably no one would notice. 
So, in the end, I combined serial numbers/decals from both into one Danish F-104G.
But, if someone wants, I can upload it later, a specific Danish CF-104.  

All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed.  
Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in the Danish Air Force, for a specific year, squadron, etc.
 
Credits.
The original model - Bobrock, Soulfreak, and Me.
Yours truly  -  mambo jumbo like skins, decals, some effects, research...
I have no idea who made the pilot model; it is an old model used almost everywhere, I just repainted the skin.
cabin light effects - guuruu
All weapons by Ravenclaw, you should have them by now, but I have included what is listed in loadout.ini.
 
TDU-11 - do not take it seriously, it is made as ASM - you can fire it and chase, and try to pick it with sidewinder.
Travel pod- absolutely do not take it seriously - you are not going anywhere...

Mirage F1C-200 (1994-2003)
This add-on shows the last Mirage F-1C for the French Armée de l'Air. The name F-1C200 comes from the serial numbers beginning from 200. Most of the F1C-200 were converted in F1CT but 12 were not and 11 stayed operational until the very end of service in 2002-2003, those in this mod.
F1C-200_94 specifics:
Same as F1C-200 plus:
Corail gondolas C/F dispensers (P0 station)  double wingtips position lights v4.0    22/Aug/2025
Other F1 cockpit updates:
Radar scope Cyrano IVM HUD CSF196 Barax/Phimat control panel Corail control panel (with indication of remaining chaffs and flares - for gameplay - not as real  F1) Note: Due to a known SF2 bug, external chaffs and flares dispensers cannot be used by AI aircraft. A workaround is to build internal "fake" C/F dispensers, and "empty" external dispensers. The advantage is that AI aircraft have then decoys. The disandvantage is that even if C/F are not loaded by the player, aircraft still have chaffs and flares dispensed from non-existing dispensers ! We have preferred the use of the workaround for the gameplay.
Covered units :
Escadron de Chasse 3/33 Lorraine.
Escadron de Chasse 4/33 Vexin.
 
This addon is and will in all cases remain freeware.

SF2 F-5A 'Freedom Fighter' by The Mirage Factory                   10/12/2025
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Any & All, Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
This is a remod of The Mirage Factory's F-5A "Freedom Fighter" for use in SF2. I've collected almost all the skins made for it since in original release in 2005. This was done simply because it hadn't been done yet, AND I needed F-5s for several of the countries on the "Iberian Peninsula/Northwest Africa" terrain recently released. You all can consider this yet another 1stGen Salvage Operation (tm). It will in =NO= way conflict with the (BEYOND!) excellent work done by Sophocles & Team on their F-5 series of aircraft. 
Having collected the various bits for this aircraft mod, you'll find in this package, in no particular order (although nations with multiple paint jobs do have specific Start Date = statements) the following:
USAF:
4441st CCTS (NMF) (1964 <)
4441st CCTS (SEA Camo) (<1970) *a somewhat what-if. see note on skin texture set ini*
Greece:
341 Sqdn (NMF) <1965
341 Sqdn (SEA) <1974
343 Sqdn (Aegean Blue) <1985
343 Sqdn (Ghost) <1996
Korea (South):
112th FS (NMF) <1965
112th FS (SEA Camo) <1970
Vietnam (South):
522nd FS, VNAF <1967
Spain:
Ala 21, Esc 212 (NMF) <1968
Ala 21, Esc 212 3-Tone Camo <1975
Turkey:
152 Filo (NMF) <1966
152 Filo (SEA Camo) <1975
Morocco:
Escadron Borak <1966 (3 tone desert)
All skins remain in their original bmp format, at 1024x1024. All markings are decals, with only the VNAF having painted on wing insignia and squadron fuselage band. All aircraft have 24 historically accurate serial numbers; again excepting VNAF which only has 16. Decal randomization is TRUE. While 100% correct for the countries represented, I could not pin down the actual squadron usages. So, they should be considered 'Generic' in that respect. Each respective country uses the same "pool" of numbers for all of their skins. The exception is the later SEA camo RoKAF, which uses a different style.
A new pilot figure and ejection seat are included. All sounds, effects and weapons use Stock In-Game (tm) 3rd Wire items. This simplifies matter greatly. The TMF original wingtip and center line drop tanks are included, in their original colorations.
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! Please read the Notes section for other useless information, and (hopefully) full credits.

I do not recall why I have made skin set '1958' except missing one aircraft (crashed 06.04.1956) and squadron moving to Karup, nothing special about this '1958', but I left it as a part of the pack.
New bump maps to work with new skins.

I have no idea who made the pilot and seat model; it is an old model used almost everywhere—big thanks to them.
ravenclaw_007 - as an improvement, I used his Hunter Pit fake pilot model.

Only Italian coffee was used; the mod may contain cookie crumbs and nuts.
