Cold War Era Aircraft

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.

New model of F-86D and L as used by USAF. Set includes 3 variants which in the game you will find under the prefix *USAF.
F-86D-25 Sabre Dog -early variant without assisting drag chute (Block 10-40). most of them were later upgraded to D-45 standard - (block D-16-46) It is named here D-25- - despite differences in block builds 25 was the first to introduce external fuel tanks and was a baseline for further blocks.
F-86D-45 Sabre Dog -drag chute equipped variant - (Block 45-60) Named D-45 as it was the first of the line with drag chute housing and some other minor modifications.
F-86L-61 Lima Dog - L model - upgraded airframes with data link SAGE system (not in-game) and 6-3 wings. All are rebuilds of D models - (Block 11-60)

All skins are in 3072x3072 format.
Skins represent all squadrons (71) but three*, USAF Interceptor squadrons that ever used F-86D/L
All squadrons have set skins to StartDefaultDate= into a period that particular model/paint scheme was used.
* I did not include 3 squadrons as I was not able to find any single reference photo (probably no special markings were used as those squadrons lived for only a few months, but still reference would matter to me)
Because this mod was evolving through time, I was not entirely sure how I was going to proceed. So some squadrons have correct serial numbers for a particular year, Others use decals from three decal folders representing airframes build- blk45-50, blk 55-60 and L blk11-61.
Some aircraft have some special markings (C.O. stripes etc.) and some have nosearts. Since the serial numbers list is always around 600 airframes it will appear on proper aircraft, You just have to find them in game.

I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea.
There is a small ini change in the cockpit and avionics ini. I changed a little angle of the radar scope.
It uses only the Mk4 Mighty Mouse rocket as a weapon. And yes it is possible to fight enemy bombers.
Additionally, I added a special "weapon" for D-45 - that will be loaded automatically after 1956 - 'F-86D_sugarscoops' the same as on the L model introduced to remaining D airframes. This is just a visual upgrade, not really a weapon.
Credits:
The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench.
Yours truly - model, skins, decals, research...

Sabre Dogs - In Far East Asia

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.

New model of F-86D as used by far East Asian countries. The set includes the Republic of China Air Force, South Korea Air Force, and the Philippine Air Force.
Do not overwrite any old files that you might downloaded here in CA. Make a backup of old files or rename new ones. But definitely do not mix any files of the old F-86 with this new one.
In the game, you will find it under the prefix * F-86D Sabre Dog
I fixed data files a little - collision points and hitboxes..as the previous ones were quite weird. However, I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea or coffee.
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 a particular year. Or I believe it does.

Credits.
The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench.

This pack is a TW DLC enhancement. So it's needed to work.
Included is the F-8K with data/ avionic/ effect/ sound corrections for accuracy, as well as modification of the Third Wire DLC F-8K Crusader model into the F-8L model Crusader.

F-8K
-   The F-8K is the F-8C airframes rebuilt to extend their service life starting in 1969. It is updated with the same underwing pylons as F-8E, but it did not receive any engine or avionics updates. The F-8K was used mainly by the Marines squadrons in the States and did not see any combat.
F-8L
-   The F-8L is the F-8B airframes rebuilt to extend their service life starting in 1969. It is updated with the same wing as the F-8H as well as the landing gear from the F-8D/ E, but it did not receive any engine or avionics updates. The F-8L was used mainly by the Reserve squadrons in the States and did not see any combat.

To install:
1, Unpack and drop into your main mods folder.
2, Override when prompted.

Credits:
-   F-8 DATA & LOADOUT v1.0 update by FANATIC MODDER.

SF2 Tu-16 Badger Pack by Pasko

By Wrench

SF2 Tu-16 Badger Pack by Pasko 11/1/2024
-For SF2, Full 5 Merged REQUIRED. Must Have SF2:NA!!!!!)
-Another 1stGen Salvage Operation-
This is a revamp of Pasko's Tu-16 Badger(s) from SF1 to SF2 "standards". This package contains the 3 variants of the Badger he and his team created 'way back in 2005. As stated above, a full-5 merged install is required; or at =LEAST= having SF2:NA in the merged install. This is because the Cruise Missile versions use the stock 3W cruise missiles (Although I've supplied the early versions).
The 3 aircraft included herein are ...
Tu-16 Badger-A (free fall bombs only)
Tu-16K-10-26 Badger C (cruise missiles only; 1 centerline, 2 wing mounted)
Tu-16G Badger K (2 cruise missiles, wing mounted only)
A cockpit is supplied for each, with a working bombsight for the standard bomber. (See notes about the issues flying bombers in SF2). All weapons, execpting the KS-1 & KSR-2 missiles are stock 3W items (FAB, RBK, K10S). All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All new Hangar and Loading screens have also been included, for you enjoyment.
The aircraft are supplied with a number skins for the varying Air Force users. Some (re)use their original 1stGen decals, with a slight repaint to stop any 'fuzziness'. Many decals used (for Middle East and Soviet birds) are stock items. You'll get:
Tu-16A:
Soviet Silver
Ukraine Silver (<1991)
Egypt AF Silver (<1966)
Iraq Silver (<1973)
Indonesia Silver (<1961)
PLAAF China Sliver (<1959)
Iraq Green Stripe Camo (<1978)*
Iraq Sand/Green Camo (<1980)*
Tu-16C:
Soviet Naval Aviation Silver (blue borts)
Tu-16G:
Soviet Naval Aviation Silver (blue borts)
As indicated above, you can see the the SF2 "date switch" is active. The star (*) tagged above indicates these years are "best guess". When possible the original readme for all skins are within each skin folder, and notes are sometimes made on the textureset.ini. The PLAAF bird only gets 24 bort number decals, which are (hopefully!) historically correct and nearly the right color blue <grin>! Pilot figures are also included. For exact in-game usage for the C & G models, I'd suggest giving their data inis a looksee, as they have several Secondary Roles to fulfill.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
Tu-16 Badger-A (Pasko)
Tu-16K-10-26 Badger C (Pasko)
Tu-16G Badger K (Pasko)
The (Pasko) differentializes these from the stock 3W Badgers (and any mods thereof). So you can't mistook them for anything other than what they is.
As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included. The 'Change Log' is of course, in the Notes section below.
Good Hunting & Happy Landings!

BAC Strikemaster Mk. 80/81/82/83/88

By paulopanz

The Strikemaster is essentially an armed version of the Jet Provost T Mk 5. Various improvements and alterations were made to the aircraft, including an uprated Armstrong Siddeley Viper turbojet engine, wing hardpoints capable of carrying a wide variety of munitions, a pair of machine guns under the intakes, uprated flap system with two jacks, enlarged airbrake jacks, new communication and navigation gear, different electrical system, canopy breakers on the ejection seats, and a revised fuel system including tip tanks on the wing tips.
First flown in 1967, the aircraft was typically marketed as a light attack or counter-insurgency aircraft, however, the majority of customers were air forces seeking an advanced trainer. The Strikemaster did see combat on multiple occasions in the service of Ecuador, Oman and Yemen. A total of 146 aircraft were produced prior to the end of production in 1983. The type remaining flying into the 2020s, albeit with increasing difficulty due to a decreasing supply of spare parts over time.
WHAT'S IN:
- Strikemaster Mk80    Saudi Arabia     (47 planes)        3 skins
- Strikemaster Mk81    South Yemen    ( 4 planes)        1 skin
- Strikemaster Mk82    Oman                 (25 planes)        2 skins
- Strikemaster Mk83    Kuwait                (12 planes)        1 skin
- Strikemaster Mk88    New Zealand     (16 planes)        2 skins
CREDITS:
- russouk2004: original model
- pappychksix: all skins
- paulopanz: decals, hangars, screens, drop tanks paint, skins little editings, ini dance, packaging etc etc.
TO INSTALL:
- put all in your main mod folder and overwrite

NOTE:
TW simulations allow us to add proper historical serials, numbers, letters and nose arts to each plane.
Best models with serials, numbers and letters painted on textures for me are a real waste. All planes (as black cats at night ...) are the same ...

So our friend Pete allowed me to make decals (I have a real decals factory yet ...) for his great skins and this is the final product.
I think that outstanding Russo's plane really needed this work to shine.
I hope you like this pack, as I liked to buid this up.
If Pete will skin Mk84, Mk89 and Mk90 (with his own super templates) too I'll be glad to add them.
If someone'll tweak a better flight model I'll add too.
Any improve'll be welcome.
Aren't we a community?
Enjoy!

Phinal Photos: RF-4C in USAF Service After Desert Storm: A TMF Rebuilt project

By daddyairplanes

                                               Phinal Photos: RF-4C in USAF Service After Desert Storm
         A TMF Rebuilt project
This mod represents the phinal years of the Photo Phantom n USAF service. It includes a new RF-4C_91 model that features Sidewinder missile capability. While only a couple dozen RF-4Cs were wired for AIM-9 carriage, they served in the Alabama and Nevada Air National Guards while they did. Therefore, I placed the skins for those units in the _91 model's folder
            Required
a functional copy of any Strike Fighters 2 game except for SF2 North Atlantic (the only one without a native F-4 destroyed model)
The aircraft from the TMF Rebuilt RF-4C Late set, available here: https://combatace.com/files/file/18263-late-model-rf-4cs-photo-phantoms-after-vietnam/
(if you already downloaded this then you dont need to do it again)
            Included
3 RF-4C aircraft folders
- RF-4C_85: skins only (12th RS, 173rd RS Nebraska ANG)
- RF-4C_91: new aircraft with several Nevada and Alabama skins, and Sidewinder capability. Photo flash bays restricted to one or the other to make room for this capability, but photo flashes were not used as much in the phinal years.
- RF-4C_ARN_101: skin (12th RS) and data_ini adjustment (extends years to 1992 from original 1990)
2 decal folders
NOTE: most weapons, pilots, effects and sounds are already included in the original Rebuilt set. only AIM-9s for the _91 are included here

            Credits
-The Mirage Factory        the very original aircraft (see TMF Readme)
-ravenclaw_007             original model, RF-4 pit
-Sundowner                     further modifications to model and pit, effects for new photoflash bombs

* to Sundowner for supporting this project. He was kind enough to hand me this ball and let me run with it and even make additional features as I requested them
* to ET Brown, Gary Chambers and other members of the 106th Tac Recon Squadron page on Facebook. These Alabama Air Guardsmen veterans helped greatly and the "106th RS 94" skin features the crew chiefs on the nose just as the real aircraft had in the final 6 months.
            About The Mirage Factory Rebuilt
Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009.
But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were just hopeful wishes over a decade ago.
    The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is jsut standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him.
       On behalf of The Mirage Factory (original and rebuilt) I thank you for downloading this mod, and hope you enjoy it.

thank you for downloading this mod, i hope you enjoy phlying it as much as i did creating it

This model is a is yet another rebuild of the old TMF max files which I was working on from the very outset.
.
It is is no way designed to compete or to relpace the versions released by daddyairplanes, so dont try to use those skins on this model....the maps are different.
The RF4-C nose has had a complete rebuild since the DA version as the nose profile is completly wrong along with more accurate air conditioner intakes and camera windows etc, etc
The fuselage also got rebuilt to cure many shape issues and to give a more accurate undersides.
Too many small fixes to list
DO NOT INSTALL OVER ANY RF-4C-65 MODELS YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE..................re name this one!
Please read the readme....it's for your benefit not mine.

Mirage_F1EQ-5_IRIAF

By ludo.m54

Mirage F1EQ5_Iriaf
This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.
Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force seized 24 F1BQs and F1EQs flown over from Iraq, during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. As of December 2021, 12 Mirage F1EQs and 5 Mirage F1BQs were in service.
This mod is not 100% accurate, Iran used all the EQ versions but for more simplicity we decided to use only one version, the EQ-5, to cover all the IRIAF aircrafts.
There is not a lot of informations about the Iranian Mirage, so we did our best to make a realistic aircraft.
Based on Iraqi F1EQ-5 v4.0.1 mod with the following changes:
all the original Iraqi weapons and pods have been disabled as Iran did not get any of those P7 and sidewinder compatibility added (instead of R550) F5 tanks (underwings stations only) instead of original F1 RP35 US bombs and rockets. Another data.ini version is provided for russians bombs and rockets use instead of US. Covered unit :
102sd TFS
This addon is and will in all cases remain freeware.
Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms.
Enjoy
The Mirage F.1 Team

RF-4B Vietnam era

What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it. So please no copying of my skins for any use other than your own.
What we have here is an almost completely new RF-4B model, there are 3 separate versions to choose from all with small differences and skins.
They are all from VMCJ-1 which was the only RF-4B unit that was stationed in Vietnam for almost the full duration of the war.
Please read the readme as I'm struggling with using a keyboard at the moment.....

Sabre Dogs - Japan Air Self-Defense Force

F-86D 月光 - Gekko of Japan Air Self-Defense Force
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.
This is a new model of F-86D.
In the game, you will find it under a prefix .JASDF. *
* Japan Air Self-Defense Force

I fixed data files a little - collision points and hitboxes..as the previous ones were quite weird. However, I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea or coffee.
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 JASDF in a particular year. More or less

Credits.
The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench.
Yours truly - model rework, mambo jumbo like skins, decals, research...
Weapons Mk4 Might Mouse and AIM-9 by Ravenclaw.
TACAN is made as a "weapon" that will load automatically after a certain year.

Have fun.
Report bugs. *
Expect the unexpected.
Live long and prosper.
Jarek Hereda
THIS MODEL IS ONLY TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE AND IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL IT BE USED, EVEN IN PART OF ANYTHING THAT IS PAYWARE.
UNDER THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT

* report BIG bugs...If I misspelled something or forgot to add a sound file...for dog's sake try to fix it.

RF-8A/G Vietnam Era.

ALL work by ME ( Sundowner ) is now no longer covered by the CombatAce Freeware Licensing agreement.
What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it. So please no copying of my skins for any use other than your own.

These aircraft are aimed at the folks that actually like to fly missions, So going by that line of action all markings and serial numbers are painted on, this has the added bonus of gaining me a couple of extra fps and also means that I can export the lod WITHOUT the decals option, this definitely gains some more precious fps.
This model is a combination of the old (Crab_02 RF-8G) and TMF RF-8A max files which I was working on from the very outset.
The RF-8A never got released because of Oli's sudden death.
I've combined what I think are the best parts of both to come up with the models here, they may not be perfect or "historically correct" in every way as they are a constant wip.
Please read the readme, you never know you might learn something.......

By daddyairplanes

        Late Model RF-4C's : Photo Phantoms After Vietnam
            A TMF Rebuilt project
This mod brings four versions of the phamous photo Phantom into the game, and begins to represent it in its final years of USAF service as well as in South Korean service.
            Required
A functional copy of any Strike Fighters 2 game except for SF2 North Atlantic (the only one without a native F-4 destroyed model)
            Included
Effects, sounds, weapons, and 4 RF-4C aircraft
RF-4C_75: regular tanks and centerline pylon to allow nuke carriage.
RF-4C_85: choice of regular Phantom centerline tank or F-15 style tank. Last full up model in use
RF-4C_LORAN_75: similar to _75 but with dorsal "towel rack" antennae for ARN-92 avionics
RF-4C_ARN_101: similar to _85, but with the dorsal antennae for the ARN-101 avionics
This pack is the starter kit, with a few skins per aircraft to get started. There are many other skinpacks available to suite your taste in operations; check in the F-4 Skins
