Cold War Era Aircraft

F-86D Sabre Dog
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.
Make a backup copy of your files if you have a similar mod already on your PC, you might not like this one. 
A fake pilot is required to run this mod.

A new model of F-86D and IF-86D as used by the Yugoslav Air Force
In the game, you will find it under the prefix  JRV 
 
All skins are in 3072x3072 format. You can easily resize as needed. If needed I can provide it in 4096 format. 
Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in the YugoslavAir Force. There is one issue that I do not like and that might bother someone too, but I will attempt to fix this as soon as I have more available references.
The issue is that amid 130 delivered F-86D around 30 (32) were converted into reconnaissance version. And around 30 were designated for spare parts upon delivery.  Serial numbers that cover "spare parts airframes" are easy to determine, and those serial numbers were removed from whole serials /decals/numbers. Unfortunately finding which of the 98 operational airframes were converted into a recon version is nearly impossible (I was able to find two numbers among 32).
So in the game, you will have 98 airframe serial numbers for F-86D (a little less for the 1968 camouflaged skin set) and 32 for IF-86D... while those 32 serials of IF-86D should be subtracted from those 98. 
This mod is no longer using a fake rocket tray gun. Now thanks to sudden enlightenment it works as stock Lightning F.1
 
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...
strahi - help with skins and research.
Weapons Mk4 Might Mouse by Ravenclaw. 
additional SAB-100 illumination bomb but made as free falling parachuted rocket.

        Late Model RF-4C's : Photo Phantoms After Vietnam

            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.

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.
This model has been created from the old freeware AlphaSim OV-10A, which in itself is a lot more work than most of you think.
Most of the original AlphaSim model has be "re-moddeled" in some way.
All animations have been done from scratch and may not be perfect, bits have been added and even more bits have been removed, all parts have been remapped etc, etc.
Please read the read me.
There are other Bronco mods available here at CA, this is not designed to replace any of them, you have the choice to use whatever you like or what works best on your system.

In the game, you will find it under a prefix .KDF. * 
* Kongelige Danske Flyvevåbnet
Some time ago I uploaded the first version of this model. Now after some suggestions, I fixed mistakes, and some bugs. 
I fixed data files a little - collision points and hitboxes..as the previous ones were quite weird. But 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 3072x3072 format. You can easily resize as needed. If needed I can provide it in 4096 format. 
Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in the Danish Air Force.

Mirage F1EE_ALR
This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.
In June 1975, with tension growing with Morocco, Spain decided to strengthen its Air Force and bought 15 Mirage F1C that were allocated to Albacete AB. In mid-1976 there was still some tension with Morocco and Algerian and Libyan MiG-25 flights on the Mediterranean, which would lead the Spanish Air Force to purchase ten more Mirage F1C and two years later order 48 Mirage F1C and F1E.
F1EE_ALR specifics:
Same as EE_Late except:
- RWR AN/ALR-300 installed instead of RWR BF - 6 aircraft were modified
Covered units :
Ala 14.
This addon is and will in all cases remain freeware.
Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms.

SF2 IAI Saar (EG) Pack       6/14/2024
-For SF2, Any and All- (Full 5 Merged Suggested -SF2E &/or SF2I  )
-Another 1stGen Salvage Operation-
This is a rebuild of EricGen's 1stGen Dassault/IAI Super Mystere 'Saar', as used by the Israeli Air Force and Honduran Air Force from the 1970s through the 1990s.
This mod is set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Super Mystere Saar available from within the game (Third Wire) or any mods of the stock bird that may exist.  Skins remain in their original bmp format. Most markings are decals, with the exception of the orange colored ID bands on one of the IDF skins. Decal Randomization is TRUE.  All necessary items are provided, decals, weapons, pilots, sounds, and so forth. Some you've probably got already. If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed.
The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The cockpit provided is one of Stary's superb works, and can also be used on the stock 3W version of the Saar (as for some reason, "out of the box" it's not player flyable).
The aircraft is supplied with a number skins for the varying Air Forces:
Israel:
No.105 Sqdn "The Scorpion" (3-tone)
No.105 Sqdn (3-tone w/ID trangles <10/73)
Honduras:
IDF 3-tone (as delivered in 1976)
Camo 2, Late (2-tone greys <1985)
As indicated above, you can see the the SF2 "date switch" is active.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
Saar (EG)
So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. This will also differentialize THIS one from the 3W Super Mystere Saar that's stock in game. The "EG" of course, is for EricGen.
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!

F1EE_Late specifics:
Same as EE_Early plus:
extra AIM-9 on P2 stations (to be accurate, not sure all aircraft had the modification, maybe just experimental on one) Seat Mk6 Cockpit layout modified (provision for future ALR-300 on left side) Covered units :

SF2 Super Mystere B.2 (EG) Pack       6/7/2024
-For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested )
-Another 1stGen Salvage Operation-
This is a rebuild of EricGen's 1stGen Dassault Super Mystere B.2, as used by the French and Israeli Air forces from the 1950s through the 1970s.
This mod is set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Mystere IVA  available from within the game (Third Wire) or any mods of the stock bird that may exist.  Skins remain in their original bmp format. Most markings are decals, with the exception of the fuselage color bands on some of the NMF skins. Decal Randomization is TRUE.  All necessary items are provided, decals, weapons, pilots, sounds, and so forth. Some you've probably got already. If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed.

EC 1/10 Valois (1958-1974)
EC 2/5 Ile de France (1961-66)

Super Mystere B2 (EG)
So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. This will also differentialize THIS one from the 3W Super Mystere that's stock in game. This includes NOT conflicting with the superb skin/ini pack that PauloPanz did some years back (reccomended!!!!).
As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included; several are actually in their respective skin folders. The 'Change Log' is, of course, in the Notes section below.

SF2 Mystere 4A (AJ) Pack       5/31/2024
-For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested )
-Another 1stGen Salvage Operation-
This is a rebuild of Ajundair's 1st Gen Dassault Mystere IVA, as used by the French, Israeli and Indian Air forces from the 1950s through the 1970s. As this mod references a stock cockpit, SF2:I and/or SF2:E are REQUIRED (or a full 5 Merged, of course!).
This mod is set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Mystere IVA  available from within the game (Third Wire) or any mods of the stock bird that may exist.  Skins remain in their original bmp format. Most markings are decals, with the exception of the fuselage color bands on some of the NMF skins. Decal Randomization is TRUE.  All necessary items are provided, decals, weapons, pilots, sounds, and so forth. Some you've probably got already. If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed.
The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero)
The aircraft is supplied with a number skins for the varying Air Forces:
France:
EC 1/5 Vendee (<1955)
EC 2/8 Languedoc (61-82) - both in NMF
Israel:
No.101 Sqnd "First Fighter" (<1955 NMF)
No.101 Sqdn "First Fighter" (NMF, w/Red Stripe <58)
No.116 Sqdn "Flying Wing" (Blue/Brown Camo <61)
No.116 Sqdn "Flying Wing" (3-tone <69)
India:
"Indian Silver" (standard NMF <1957)
As indicated, the SF2 "date switch" is active. The IDF/AF 2-tone is a brand new skin, as it had never been created for the original release (2004-ish) The IDF/AF 3-tone late camo is a "rebuilt" skin, as the original had the wrong colors. All other skins have had a least some minor repainting. The Indian AF skin does =NOT= break the serials down into their respective squadrons, nor are there any squadron 'nose art' badges. Consider them generic in nature, although the serials are ALL historically correct.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
Mystere IVA (AJ)
So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. This will also diferentiate THIS one from the 3W Mysetere IVA that's stock in game. This includes NOT conflicting with the superb skin/ini pack that PauloPanz did some year back (reccomended!!!!). As stated above, this mod makes use of the STOCK 3rd Wire cockpit from it's MyIVA, but I've left in the originial F-86 cockpit (with some mods) and it's inis from 2004. It's also been updated to add any missing bits.
The template I made is also included. It's "medium rez", in 1024x. Make of it what you will.
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!

SF2 TMF Mirage 5F Pack       5/22/2024
Updated 5/24/24, v2.0
-For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested)
This is a NEW aircraft, based on an pre-existing TMF aircraft LOD, used to (re)create the Mirage 5F fighter-bomber as used by the French Air Force. To let you all know, no "official" 5F was ever created and relased by TMF. So, consider this an "un-official" version <gr>!
This mod is set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Mirage 5F available from within the game (Third Wire) or any others that may exist.  Skins remain in their original bmp format. Most markings are decals, with the exception of the AdA Rudder tri-color bands on the NMF skin. Decal Randomization is TRUE.  All necessary items are provided, serial number decals, weapons, pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth. Some, you've probably got already. If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed. The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero)
The aircraft is supplied with 2 skins for EC 3/13 Auvergne:
NMF (start date=1)
Euro Camo (<1975)
As indicated, the SF2 "date switch" is active.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
Mirage 5F (TMF)
So you can't mistake it for anything other than TMF Birds (tm). This will also diferentiate THIS one from the 3W 5F that's stock in game, but is AI only. On that note, the supplied cockpit (by BPAO & Crusader) was originally designed for use with the 3W AI Mirage 5F in 2017. For those wishing to do so, I've supplied the needed inis, and the instructional read-me. They are in a folder within the main aircraft folder. Ya can't miss it! <gr>.
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, as always, in the Notes section below.

SF2 TMF K'fir C1 & F-21A Lion Upgrade/Remod Pack       5/3/2024
-For SF2, Any and All-(SF2:I and/or Full 5 Merged Suggested)
This is a full upgrade/remod pack for The Mirage Factory's IAI K'fir C1 & F-21A Lion as used by the Israeli Defense Force Air Force, and the US Navy and US Marine Corps. The later two were used in dissimilar combat training as adversery aircraft (see Notes).
Included in this package are the 2 full aircraft, with one or more skins:
Kfir C1:
101 Squadron (Camo w/ID Panels)
F-21A Lion:
VF-43 "Challengers" (USN) (2-tone Grays)
VMAT-401 "Snipers" (USMC) (IDF style Desert Camo)
They are set up and labeled to cause =NO= conflicts with the Kfirs available as stock within the game or any others that may exist.  Skins remain in their original bmp format. National markings are painted on, and my (Patent Pending) fake insignia and SqTail decals are active (when needed), allowing the squadron's name & Nation Name to be displayed on the Loadout screen. Serial number Decal Randomization is TRUE. All serial numbers are 100% historically accurate for their various units (all 32 for the IDF).  All necessary items are provided, serial number decals, weapons (drop tanks), pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth. Some, you've probably got already. If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed.
The canards have been removed from the C1 through the use of the 'remove component trick'. The F-21A retains it's canards. For both models, the canopy operates with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The animation for the intake shock cones has also been corrected, thanks to Crusader.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
Kfir C1 (TMF)
and
F-21A Lion (C.1P) (TMF)
So you can't mistake them for anything other than TMF Birds (tm). Of course, this also removes confusion from the stock 3rd Wire Birds too (although the F-21A IS a DLC).

-For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested)
This is a full upgrade/remod pack for The Mirage Factory's IAI Dagger as used by the Argentine Air Force (Fuerza Aérea Argentina or FAA).
Skins remain in their original bmp format.  All necessary items are provided, weapons, pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth (most weapons used ARE stock 3W items, with few exceptions). This is a "nationalized" single-user only aircraft.

As can be expected, the SF2 Date Switch (tm) is active, although the 2 Color Banded Birds (tm) both have the 1982 start date for use during the Falkland War (as best as my research could narrow down)  Also, the Date Switch is used on the Loadout ini, as newer missiles become available.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop-down you'll see:

In June 1975, with tension growing with Morocco, Spain decided to strengthen its Air Force and bought 15 Mirage F1C that were allocated to Albacete AB. In mid-1976 there was still some tension with Morocco and Algerian and Libyan MiG-25 flights on the Mediterranean, which would lead the Spanish Air Force to purchase ten more Mirage F1C and two years later order 48 Mirage F1C and F1E.
F1EE_Early specifics:
no R550, AIM-9 SideWinder instead R530 and S530F capability but S530F not used by EdA at this time CLB4, no CLB8 Seat Mk4 Inertial Navigation System Sagem UNI43 RWR BF AAR probe AN/ALE-40 Chaffs Flares dispenser (actually introduced after delivery, in ~mid 1980s) Syrel ELINT pod capability Covered units :

SF2 TMF Nesher (IDF) Upgrade/Remod Pack       4/5/2024
-For SF2, Any and All-(SF2:I and/or Full 5 Merged Suggested)
This is a full upgrade/remod pack for The Mirage Factory's Dassault Nesher as used by the Israeli Defense Force Air Force. Included in this package are 3 different skins:
101 Squadron (Camo)
253 Squadron (Camo)
117 Squadron (Camo w/Orange ID Triangles <1973)
They are set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Nesher available as stock within the game or any others that may exist.  Skins remain in their original bmp format. Almost all markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. All decals used are stock, in game items (you don't need SF2I for these) As you can see above, the SF2 date switch is active for the later, "Orange ID Triangle" skin. 101 & 253 Squadrons share the same start date (no actual date listed), meaning they're avaliable from the initial date of service, and are available to choose from the drop down menu. All necessary items are provided, weapons (drop tanks), pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth. Some, you've probably got already!!!
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown you'll see:
Nesher S (TMF)
So you can't mistake them for anything other than TMF Birds (tm). This also means, there'll be NO conflict with the other Neshers, of mods thereof, out there.

SF2 TMF Mirage IIICZ (SAAF) by PCG Upgrade/Remod Pack       3/24/2024
-For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested)
Found in the Archives! Didn't even know there WAS a TMF version! But here it is!!! :)
This is a full upgrade/remod pack for The Mirage Factory's Dassault Mirage IIICZ by PCG as used by the South AFrican Air Force.
Even though there is =NOT= a stock 3W Mirage IIICZ per se, this is set up and labeled to cause =NO= conflicts with any (other) Mirages available for the game (including the version built by Ludo M.54 from a stock 3W Mirage). Skins remain in their original bmp format.  All necessary items are provided, weapons, pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth (most weapons used ARE stock 3W items, with few exceptions). This is a "nationalized" single-user only aircraft.
This aircraft is supplied with 3 skins:
"NMF"- as originally delivered
"Camo1" - Tan/Green (<1971)
"Lo-Viz" - 2-tone Blue & Grey (~1982)
All 16 CZs served with No.2 Squadron, “Flying Cheetahs”.
All skins use the same 'pool' of 16 ID/serial numbers. As can be expected, the SF2 Date Switch (tm) is active, and the LoViz skin starts in 1982 (best guess! based upon Ludo's Mirage F1CZ_Late). Also, the Date Switch is used on the Loadout ini, as newer missiles become available.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown you'll see:
Mirage IIICZ (TMF)
So you can't mistake them for anything else but TMF Birds (tm).
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, as always, in the Notes section below. As an Extra Added Bonus (tm), I've included a bunch of PDFs I found online, documenting the Development & History of the Mirage III & its variants in SAAF service. They are OUTSTANDING docs, and were the basis for some of the changes I've implemented here. Well worth the read!
