Cold War Era Aircraft

Royal Netherlands Air Force Starfighters. 
This mod offers my personal approach to the KLu (Koninklijke Luchtmacht) F-104 series. It is not intended to replace or compete with previous packs. I recommend testing it before removing any older mods, as you may prefer one over the other.
Installation & Requirements:
Skill Level: Basic modding skills are required (copy/pasting and managing mod folder structures).
Process: Copy and paste the specific folders into your game's directory.
Required Files: You must have a "fake pilot" installed and the original Thirdwire F-104 cockpit from the base game.
Game Menu: In-game, aircraft are listed with the .KLu. prefix -  Koninklijke Luchtmacht

Fuel tanks- Tanks are just ini files. The mod uses tanks that are part of an aircraft lod.
Now mod uses an additional no-fuel tanks loadout. Simply, If you want ot fly with a clean wing, choose from the loadout dropdown menu option - no tanks. You need this specific weapon in the weapons folder.
I have added some new pilot models; you can switch them easily in data.ini file, if you have such a desire.
Although iyt is important to remember that those pilots work well with the provided Lockheed C-2 seat. It was never tested in another configuration.
All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed.  
Paint schemes and decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in the Netherlands Air Force, for a specific year, squadron, etc.
Historically, the first Dutch starfighters were F-104G AWX versions operated by the 306th squadron, then passed to the 322nd  and 323rd squadrons. In 1964, the first fighter-bomber variant was delivered to 311st squadron and a year later to the 312th squadron. In 1963, after transferring the AWX variant into the defence squadrons 306th squadron received its first RF-104G. Those airframes were used until 1974, when all remaining RF-104G were upgraded by removing the internal camera bay and equipping it with a new Orpheus recon pod. 
In-game you will have:
F-104G '64 early fighter bomber variant.
F-104G '77 late fighter-bomber variant with ALQ-126 ecm.
F-104G AWX air defence fighter variant.
RF-104G reconnaissance variant with internal camera bay.
RF-104G(O) '74 Orpheus recon variant.
RF-104G(O) '77 Orpheus recon variant with ALQ-126 ecm.
The fighter-bomber variant is capable of delivering a special weapon. Known as nukes. Even if goverment will deny, they were training with imitation rounds. Anyway, after loading nuke, the M61 gun will be unloaded automatically. The plan was to use extra fuel loaded in gun/ammo bay but KLu did not practice that.
But there is extra fuel cell in RF variant. 
RF-104(G) - were built on old RF airframes, and some were withdrawn from the air defence role F-04G. Over the time IRST window were closed up with a metal sheet. But not on all airframes.  But here in-game, all RF-104G have the IRST window closed. 
I disabled radar in RF variants. It does not look good, I do not like it. But at least there is no radar. In fact, this is just a temporary solution.
Cockpit in general is a temporary solution, along with cockpit and avionics files. But for the new cockpit, you will have to wait a little longer.

    Known Issues
-This is meant as eye candy. unfortunately, SF2 doesnt support air to air refueling so the best to be done is set up a recon mission
and then park it in an orbit. 
-Also, Dels C-130 pit does not line up with the model very well. it is included mainly so that it can be player selected 
(i had to test it somehow).
-Loading more than 8 aircraft on a mission will produce irregularities (like only the front half of the camo showing). 
So far I have not seen more than 8 on a ramp, and it is doubtful you need to load more than that in one area for a mission. 
-Just be warned if you throw all 16 in at once.

SF2 Cessna O-1E Bird Dog Remod Pack -for 3W O-1E-  ver.3         12/14/2025
= For SF2, Any and All, Designed for SF2:V =
**This mod is designed to replace, in total, the version I did in 2011. If you don't have that mod, not to worry, everything -and MORE- is included in THIS one!!! **
This is a major overhaul of the stock 3rd Wire 1stGen O-1E Bird Dog with a new, functioning cockpit, all NEW skins from Brand New Home Grown Templates (tm), which are included within the main aircraft folder. All new semi-historically accurate serial numbers (meaning: generic in nature, representing no particular unit, but mostly correct for the time frames for each skins operational years and country assigned). All skins are now in jpg format, at 1024x1024. When discoverable, the read me for the original 1stGen skin is included with that skin folder.
The skins included herein represent ---
Canada:
CDN Army (CO-119) <54
Pakistan:
Pak Army Green <72
US Army: 
US Army Aviation L-19/O-1A <1949  (USArmy1 folder)
73rd Aviation Co "Warriors" (USA) <63 (USArmy2 folder)
USAF:
20th TASS <61
VNAF:
112th Liaison Sqdn <1962 (OD w/LtGrey upper wings)
112th Liaison Sqdn <1970 (overall LtGrey)
Decal randomization is TRUE for all. Skins have either 16, 20, 24 or 26 serial number decals, depending on Air Force and time frame used. The SF2 Date Switch is active for the 2 US Army & VNAF skins. As you can see above, the year tagged is their start date. Skins are now in the (mostly) correct colors as seen in Real Life (tm).
The aircraft uses stock HVARs, but for fun I've included the M-60 underwing machine gun. So you can shoot stuff up.  A new User list.ini is supplied, with most of the Dog's users. New pilot figures are used, too!
Be advised, the US Army Aviation units depicted here are still tagged with "USAF" as their Nation of Origin. See "Notes" for adding US Army to you Nations.ini, if you aren't using DaddyAirplanes expanded one. You'll have to extract the Nations.ini, if you haven't already, and place it in you /Flight folder. You'll also have to edit the TextureSet ini for those skins, in either case. Again, instructions are below.
You'll also be adding a new engine sound, and this will need to be added to the Sound list ini, so have that extracted (if you haven't already), and in the /Flight folder in you Mods Folder of choice (ie: SF2:V)
Because there are several differing Bird Dogs wandering around, I've used a unique folder & displayed name to differentiate it from them. On the Aircraft Selection Drop Down menu, you'll see
O-1E Bird Dog (3W)
The (3W) names it as the stock SFP1/WoV 3rd Wire aircraft.
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 the Notes section for other possibly useless information, and (hopefully) full credits. 
Please also take note of changes in the Standard Disclaimer in the "Legal BS" section at the bottom.
Have Fun!! Woof Woof!!!

SF2 T-28D Trojan Upgrade Pack for YAP-RW                                                                12/9/2025
What we have here is an upgrade pack for the YAP-RW T-28D "Trojan" trainer/close support aircraft. This full aircraft mod is being released with permission from the YAP-RW Team, and I extend special thanks to Andrea "Ralph" Richini for his help, support and approval.
This package includes the original 3 skins, with all new decals, some data ini modifications (mostly adding armor), a new engine sound is also included. Be forewarned! You will be adding the new sound to your game/mod folder's Soundlist.ini. Full instructions are in the "To Install" below.
All weapons are stock, in-game items. Both canopies open with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero).
The 3 skins are:
USAF:
4400th CCTS
Vietnamese Air Force (South):
2nd FS/516th FS <1962
Royal Laos Air Force:
RLAF <1963
Most markings are decals, but due to the fuselage/tail fin being one mesh, all fuselage national markings are painted on. The USAF and VNAF each have 24 serials. As I was unable to run down particular squadron usages, the VNAF serials are "generic" as in "these were assigned to the VNAF". USAF is also generic. The 16 RLAF serials are 100% hysterically correct. The years seen above are the start dates for these units/skins. So, the 'SF2 Date Switch is (mostly) active. 
If installing this to well, any mod folder including YAP-RW, you'll see on the aircraft selection drop-down menu:
T-28D Trojan (Y)
"Y", of course is for YAP, differentiating it from any others (?). Be advised, I did NOT change the folder name. Only the displayed name. So it should NOT effect anything if used in a YAP-RW mods folder. But that's not guaranteed! In a normal SF2:V mods folder, will have no effect (unless you have somebody else's Trojan in there?). If you HAVE YAP, maybe want to backup your original for Safety's Sake (tm).
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 the Notes section for other useless information, and (hopefully) full credits. 
Please also take note of changes in the Standard Disclaimer in the "Legal BS" section at the bottom.
Good Hunting & Happy Landings!

SF2 S2F-3S/S-2FE Tracker (Beta +)                   11/12/2025
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Any & All, Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
Another "Found In The Archives" Job
Found this while cleaning an external drive. I have no idea where I got it, when I got it, or who built it. I've checked with our South American brethren, and they weren't sure either, but support the decision to release it. It's a 'not quite' ready aircraft, with some mapping issues (like, some parts are unmapped), but otherwise in good shape. It flies fine (albeit a bit TOO overpowered and maneuverable, but otherwise just fine). Therefore, I've given it the rating of "Beta +". If anyone does know who built it , Please Let Me Know, and I'll update the credits.
What we have here is a Grumman S2F-3S (SF2-E after 1962), and is VERY close to the G model. (See "Notes"). This is the later model, not the early type with the sensor pod on a pylon above the cockpit.
The aircraft came with several skins, and of course I had to add more! Those marked with a star (*) are the original skins. Those unmarked, are by me.  You'll have:
US Navy:
VS-21 "Fighting Red Tails" (Pacific 60-70)
VS-37 "Sawbucks" (Pacific 61-73)*
VS-28 "Hukkers" (Atlantic 60-69)
VT-28 "Rangers" (60-79 TS-2A)*
Argentine Navy:
Escuadrilla Aeronaval Antisubmarina (Blue)(<1970)*
Escuadrilla Aeronaval Antisubmarina (<1990)*
Brazilian Navy:
1/1 Grupo de Aviacao Embarcada (P-16E)<1965)*
Venezuela:
Escuadron Antisubmarino (Ven <1970)*
Royal Australian Navy:
VS-816 NAS (RAN) (67-85)
Generic Gull Gray/White*
As can be seen, the SF2 Date Switch if active, and skins will change accordingly. The "Generic Skin" has been decaled for the USN, but with "fictional" markings. As all decal positions are now pre-plotted, other Texture Artists can easily make additional skins and decals The skin template is included; it's stored within the main aircraft folder.
Nearly all marking are decals, with the exception of some national or squadron markings that are painted on due to a "lack of meshes" issue. All serials (BuNum for USN) have been matched as close as possible to their Modex numbers. Any numbers marked with the cross (Plus sign +) could not be matched to each other, but DID serve in the units assigned. In other words, nearly 100% historically correct. The BuNums for VT-28 are also correct, but as I couldn't find which were converted to the trainer, consider them 'generic' in nature. 
This mod uses (almost) all stock weapons. I've included the Mk.44 LWASW Torpedo, modifying it's service dates and exportation (after researching, of course). They work very well on Anti-shipping missions. All other weapons use stock 3W items. A new engine sound is also supplied (see "Notes" for install instructions)
I've used the Standard Animation Keystrokes (tm), Shift/9 will fold the wings. Shift/0 (zero) will open the starboard side crew door. The MAD boom and belly radome extend automatically with landing gear retraction. It is fully Carrier Qualified, having been tested on USN, RAN, Argentine and Brazilian Navy CVs.
On the Aircraft selection Dropdown on the Main Screen, you'll see:
S2F-3S (S-2E) Tracker
This will, of course, keep it differentiated from any other Stoofs 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!!! You will be adding a sound to your SoundList.ini, as SF2 has some weirdness with engine sounds (expecially in Win10/11).
Please read the Notes section for other useless information, and (hopefully) full credits. 
Please also take note of changes in the Standard Disclaimer in the "Legal BS" section at the bottom.

Royal Norwegian Air Force Starfighters. 
This mod is not to compete with any previous packs. It is just my different approach. So before removing/overwriting any of the 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.
In the game, under a prefix.LFV. * You will find  F-104G / CF-104  that served in the Norwegian Air Force.
* Luftforsvaret
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.
Now mod uses an additional "no-fuel -no-tanks" loadout. Simply, If you want ot fly with a clean wing chose from the loadout dropdown menu option - no tanks. You need this specific weapon in the weapons folder.
I have added some new pilot models, you can switch them easly in data.ini file, if you have such a desire.

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 Norwegian Air Force, for a specific year, squadron, etc.
Historically, the first Norwegian starfighters were RF-104 versions, but without cameras, and during the first IRAN converted to F-104G type. Those airframes were only in a castrated RF configuration for a few months. Additionally, in 1965, three airframes arrived in Norway, but those three were built by Canadair. They were also in F-104G configuration and had all the remarks of F-104G, not CF-104. Also, those three were painted light grey. Not silver aluminium like previous birds. In this mod, I did not play so strictly with history, and all those 19 starfighters are F-104G with one silver paint.
The first CF-104 arrived in Norway in 1973. All were formed in one 334 squadron, and carried a slightly different mission profile than the older F-104G. I could write a little more about history, but probably most of you will never read this or do not care about what I have written here. (which is already proven after my recent uploads) So I will pass...

Reworked skins in some areas, reworked a few parts of the model, new seat model, new pilot models, 
Reworked ini files, 
I highly recommend deleting old files and installing new ones. Just in case, this will prevent any frustration.

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.

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!!!

Royal Danish Air Force Starfighters. 
This mod offers my personal approach to the Kongelige Danske Flyvevåbnet F-104 series. It is not intended to replace or compete with other packs. I recommend testing it before removing any older mods, as you may prefer one over the other.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) 
Installation & Requirements:
Skill Level: Basic modding skills are required (copy/pasting and managing mod folder structures).
Process: Copy and paste the specific folders into your game's directory.
Required Files: You must have a "fake pilot" installed and the original Thirdwire F-104 cockpit from the base game.
Game Menu: In-game, aircraft are listed with the.KDF. prefix -  Kongelige Danske Flyvevåbnet
First upload contained only F-104G. And since I was updating some small stuff,I changed the approach to this mod. Now it contains 3 aircraft models. Early F-104G with C-2 seat, late variant with Martin-Baker seat, and CF-104.
There are a few reasons why I changed it into 3 models. It is better that way, and in the near future, when I have the cockpit finished, it will be more accurate for each model. Mod also contains 3 new models for pilot and new seats, Lockheed C-2 and Martin-Baker DQ-7A
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.
In-game, you will have:
F-104G '64 early air defence fighter with C-2 ejection seat, and original position lights.
F-104G '68 air defence fighter equipped with Martin Baker DQ-7A seat. Or it was IQ-7A as some sources says, although there were a few differences between the Danish and Italian models.
CF-104 air defence fighter brought to Danish F-104G standard with small differences, like counterweights on wing pylons for safe tank jettisoning..

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.
Please also take note of changes in the Standard Disclaimer in the "Legal BS" section at the bottom.
Happy Landings!
