Mirage F1CR F5/6 standard
When it became clear that the Mirage F1 was becoming a successful production aircraft, Dassault began investigating the possibility of a dedicated reconnaissance version for its most important client, the French Air Force. However, the escalating cost of fighter aircraft meant that add-on pods for this purpose were a more economical alternative. Many French Air Force aircraft, as well as those of some export clients (such as Iraq's Mirage F1EQ), did indeed have a variety of reconnaissance pods available, which were attached to the underside of the main fuselage. However, the development of a tactical reconnaissance aircraft for the French Air Force continued, and the first Mirage F1CR flew on 20 November 1981.
F1CR F5/F6 standard specifics:
Corail gondolas (P0 station)
RWR BF double wingtip position lights Thomson CSF RAPHAEL TH SLAR Side Looking Aiborne Radar Recon Pod (P1 Id on AMCP) ASTAC (Analyseur de Signaux TACtiques) ELINT pod (P3 Id on AMCP This addon is and will in all cases remain freeware.

SF2 TMF Boeing 707 300 Series Update Pack       5/14/2023
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
This is the complete aircraft, set up as to NOT conflict with the mods of the 707 produced by DaddyAirplanes. Some renanming has been done to make sure of the lack of conflicts.
This is a fairly small modification of the Boeing 707 jetliner released many years ago by The Mirage Factory. What this mod does, is using ONLY the 4 original skins, adds 100% historically correct registration numbers, and in the case of PanAm, the "Clipper" name of the aircraft. Just in case you've forgotten what skins there are ...
BOAC - 14 aircraft 1960-86
El Al - 12 aircraft 1961-2018
Pan American - 18 aircraft 1958-99
TMA Air Cargo - 6 aircraft 1965-2004
All these markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The Data ini has some edits, adding the "Exported to Enemy = TRUE" line. The nations used for these 4 are STOCK in game ones. (RAF=BOAC, USAF=PanAm, Lebannon=TMA). A userlist in included, that is by NO MEANS complete. End users are encouraged to add skins, "air forces" and whatever is required to expand the line. A cockpit is included, but as this bird is mostly for eye candy, player flight is not reccomended (no defenses of any kind!!). As such, there are NO hangar or loading screens.
When in game, you'll see
Boeing 707-300 Series (TMF)
on the aircraft selection drop down menu. This should (and will) deferentiate it from DA's mods. This aircraft DOES represent many different versions of the 300 series, so the name is fairly accurate.
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.
Happy Landings!

                                                                                                                         SLUFs on Guard: A-7D in Air National Guard service 1974-1993
This mod adds several new skins to showcase the stock ThirdWire A-7D as it appeared in Air National Guard service. This mod includes two "new" A-7 variants based off the stock A-7D_78, mainly for ease of incorporating skins and saving 500MB of space!
The A-7D Corsair II (most commonly called the SLUF) first entered service in the Air Guard with the 188th Tactical Fighter Squadron, New Mexico ANG, in early 1974. The SLUF went on to serve with 16 different squadrons of the ANG, 15 of which are presented here (Arizona's 162nd TFS was the schoolhouse and flew predominantly A-7K two seaters). The A-7D finally bowed out of USAF service when the 162d Fighter Squadron, Ohio ANG, retired theirs in early 1993.
            REQUIREMENTS
This mod requires you to have STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 EUROPE for the A-7D_75 and _78 it is based on. You could adapt rename the skins for use with the A-7D found in SF2 or SF2V,
but thats 5 files in 60 some skins.
        INSTALLATION
UNZIP MAIN FOLDER, PUT OBJECTS FOLDER INTO DESIRED MOD FOLDER
            Included

59 Skins and tga sets      covers the major schemes used by all covered units
historic serials                  well, fairly historic. this was a tough nut to crack and airframes are matched to units as best as possible.
nose arts                           for the gray 112th TFS (Ohio ANG) and all 149th TFS (Virginia ANG)
weapons                           regular bombs modded by me to boost base supply levels. other weapons that could be seen later in life added too including the LANA FLIR pod
ini edits                             mostly tweaking weapons loadouts. Air Guard SLUFs were more likely to carry basic bomb loads rather than the precision guided toys. and rarely had tanks

                    Credits
Nyghtfall, Svetlin    AN/AAR-45 LANA skin. Nyghtfall did the bulk of the psd work, Svetlin the panel lines and was kind enough to share it with me.

During its later life, a small number of the RAF's existing Shackletons received extensive modifications in order to adapt them to perform the airborne early warning (AEW) role. The type continued to be used in this support capacity until 1991, when it was replaced by the Boeing E-3 Sentry AEW aircraft. These were the last examples of the type remaining in active service.

SF2 T-34C Turbo Mentor Pack by Various       1/20/2023
-For SF2, Any and All-
As seen in the "Found on my HD" thread on CombatAce, I present the Beechcraft T-34C Turbo Mentor for your edification and enjoyment. Brought to you by a combination of luck and the work of our good friends in Latin America. With a little help by me (grin).
There are 3 skins/decal sets supplied in this package,
Argentine Navy:
Armada (a dark blue overall; 1978-1980)
Malvinas (2-tone camo, as seen during the Falklands War; < 1980)
US Navy:
VT-2 "Wildcats", TAW-5 NAS Whiting Field, Florida
Skins are in jpg format. Many markings are decals, many are painted on. All skins have accurate serial/modex decals. The USN skin has 18, the Argentine skins 29, and 16 respectively. The Argentine skins use the SF2 date switch to active themselves at the proper time.
Both canopies are manually operated; the Standard Animation Keystroke(s) are used; shift/0 (zero) for the pilot's window, and shift/9 for the backseat driver.
When in game you see:
T-34C TurboMentor (OJ)
The "OJ" is for the modeler, and will differentiate this T-34C from any others that may or may not be available.
Be advised, that while tagged as a "T-34C" this is actually a "T-34C-1" which has 4 underwing hardpoints for various ordnance. The C-1 was an export only version, but will work nicely for USN customers/users/flyer/game players over The Range terrain for weapons practice. Or flying for fun.

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.

P-2H "Neptune" Remod Pak                11/19/22
-- For SF2, Any & All --
This is a complete overhaul, plus numerous additions, to the P2V-7/P-2H Neptune package I released in 2011 (THAT long ago????!!!!). I was going over some things, and found numerous flaws and faults, and chose to fix them up.
This package, due to numerous changes (listed in the Change Log), is designed to replace in total the early 2011 kit. If you have that original repackaging mod, you CAN just drop all of this one directly over it, or delete the aircraft and decals folders and start fresh. Your Choice (tm). Either way will work with no issues.
Skin sets NOW included are:
These 3 from the original 2011 pack--
VP-18 "Flying Phantoms", NAS Jacksonville as seen during the Cuban Missile Crisis
VP-65 "Tridents", NAS Point Magu, in the mid/late 1960s through the 1970s
VP-69 "Totems", NAS Whidbey Island, in the 1970s
plus ...
320 Squadron, RNNAS (now included)
The new skins are:
JMSDF (2,3,4 & 51 Kokutais)-squadron insginia are randomly applied
RAAF (10 & 11 Squadrons) - early Seaplane Gray/White and late Gull Gray/White skins
French Aeronavale - Flotilles 21/23(ish)
USN --
VP-9 "Golden Eagles, NAS Barbers Point (Early Seaplane Gray/White)
VP-18 "Flying Phantoms" NAS Jacksonville, NAS Rossevelt Roads (Early SG/W)
Argentina -- Both original COAN skins NOW included!
The only country's skins NOT included are the RCAF/CF by 1977Frenchie; his set for the CP-122 which is good enough to stand on it's own :) .
All skins remain in their original bmp format. All new decals are included, "almost" all with historically matching BuNums-to-Modex numbers (wherever possible, and the information was discoverable). Decal randomization for ALL skins is TRUE. For those forces with paint scheme changes at specific years, the SF2 Date Switch (tm) is active.  This can be seen on the Loading Screen, skin/squadron drop-down menu as shown below:
VP-9 Golden Eagles (>1962) (before 1962)
or
VP-69 Totems (<1964)  (after 1964)
As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install.
Happy Landings!

Echoes Across the States: KC-135E Stratotanker's First 15 Years
This skinpack is a remod of the TMF KC-135E done years ago. While utilizing the same model, it now features a greatly improved texture set, ini performance enhancements and each of the skins is researched to be as accurate as is possible with current knowledge.

        Included *
two KC-135E versions, (82) and (92)
sixty (yes 60!) skins between the two versions. most Shamu based skins also feature nose arts
Cockpit and ini edits to make player flyable
drogue "weapon", addable in the loadout screens

    Required
a legal functioning install of any SF2 version
    Installation
unzip this mod, then install new mod folder categories to your mod folder (Aircraft to aircraft etc)
allow overwrites
fire up game, take off and go pass gas
    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, the C-130 cockpit is not too accurate. it is included mainly so that it can be player selected (i had to test it somehow). remember that there is no air to air refueling in game, so these are more eye candy than operational birds
- dont manuever aggressively. aggressive manuvering will cause a deep stall. its a huge pain to recover from as a player (firewall the throttle, set flaps to landing, yank stick back and hold). any AI wingmen wont make it trying to follow you

SF2 A-1H/J Skyraider (mcz) Remod Pack by MontyCZ       1/8/2024
-For SF2, Any and All-
Another 1stGen Salvage Project...
This is an SF2 Remod of MontyCZ's A-1H Skyraider. Historically this was the VERY first aircraft mod released for SF1 in 2005. While the model still has some issues (see "Notes"), it's fully functional, with some limitations, in the SF2 environment.
This mod is supplied with just about all the original (many rebuilt) skin sets I could find from the 1stGen SF mods section and from Marcfighters. These skin sets cover US Navy, US Air Force and South Vietnam Air Force units.
You have ...
USN:
VA-35 "Black Panthers" USS Saratoga, 1959 Med cruise, (Beirut crisis?)
VA-52 "Kinghtriders" USS Ticonderoga, 1966-67 VN cruise
VA-65 "Tigers" USS Intrepid, 1960-61 Med Cruise
VA-75 "Sunday Punchers" USS Independence, mid-1962 SEA-VN cruise
VA-145 "Swordsman" USS Ranger 1958-59 WesPac (tagged "VA145E")
VA-176 "Thunderbolts" USS Intrepid, VN cruise 1966-ish (bumblebee art)
VNAF:
1st FS, Bien Hoa, 1961 (VNAF1 - overall very light grey, blue/red devil fues band )
514th FS, Dan Nang ~1963 (VNAF2 - overall medium grey, tiger stripe fues band)
518th FS, Bien Hoa AB ~1970 (VNAF3 - 3 tone SEA camo, yellow/black checks fues band)
USAF:
602nd SOS, 56th SOW (various RVN & Thai bases 1962-1970)
2nd SOS, 56th SOW (nite black unders, ~1968)
There is also an extra blank USN skin called, oddly enough, "USNGrey1" This can be used to create any other units as one desires in the Gull Gray/White scheme.
The texture set ini for each skin has a small notation at the bottom with historical notes.
While many skins had to be remade, some are still 'as issued' (un-retouched). All are in bmp format. As is usual, serial/BuNums are as historically accurate as possible. Those 100% are marked with the star (*), those correct, but unable to match to a modex are marked with the plus/cross (+), those with no mark are generic. All skins have been updated to use the last known LOD (5/2009), and have been updated to use the latest decal style. Decal randomization is TRUE. For those units listed in the game's SquadronList ini, my (patent pending) 'fake SqTail' decal is used to activate their name displayed on the Loadout screen. The SF2 'date switch is used for all services on their respective skin sets. Sounds and drop tanks are included. All weapons used are stock in-game 3rd Wire items. The data ini has been brought up, as much as possible, to current standards.
When in-game, you'll see
A-1H/J Skyraider (MCZ)
on the Aircraft Selection dropdown. This will differenize this one (MontyCZ) from the 3rd Wire or Razbam Skyraiders. This mod DOES (sorta) cover both the H & J variants, as there's very little (actual) difference between them. The wing fold is active, it uses the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/9. The canopy CANNOT manually be controled; it's linked to the flaps.
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. Also, give the "Notes" a browse, as it explains certain issues this model has, and the change logs.
Good Hunting and Happy Landings!

These are the Kfir C2 versions used by the Ecuadorian Air Force.
The pack contains all the necessary models and is based on the normal TW model and the mods available in Combat Ace.
 
To run this mod you also need access to the SF2:I TW lod files (lods and cabins for Kfir)
The full merged installation of the SF2 family is generally recommended.
 
The skin was made by me in 2048x2048 format based on templates from ludo.m54
 
Credits:
I have made all the decals for use in FAE based on the reference materials available.

I would like to thank gkabs for making the mod Kafir_C2_Antenna_Tail and GK-MF1Euro-Pilot_early these are his authorship to contact go to gkabs@gkabs.net
 
National and squad markings as always in my case are painted on skins.
 
Effect files are added.
I've also used standard sound files that everyone should have by now.

I hope you like it.

Mirage F1CR standard F4
When it became clear that the Mirage F1 was becoming a successful production aircraft, Dassault began investigating the possibility of a dedicated reconnaissance version for its most important client, the French Air Force. However, the escalating cost of fighter aircraft meant that add-on pods for this purpose were a more economical alternative. Many French Air Force aircraft, as well as those of some export clients (such as Iraq's Mirage F1EQ), did indeed have a variety of reconnaissance pods available, which were attached to the underside of the main fuselage. However, the development of a tactical reconnaissance aircraft for the French Air Force continued, and the first Mirage F1CR flew on 20 November 1981.
F1CR specifics:
A/A: R550/R550-2 self-defence only, no R530 and no S530F (no wiring) A/G: AUF2 (no CLB4, no CLB8), rockets, bombs, BAP/BAT radio-altimeter Inertial Navigation System (Sagem ULISS 47), VOR/ILS Low-alt Panoramic (Omera 40 75mm) and High-alt vertical (Omera 33 150 mm) cameras Radar Cyrano IV-MR Seat Mk10 - AAR probe no right gun, Super Cyclope Infra-Red linescan imager (SAT SCM 2400) instead Barax, Phimat capability CC420 pods capability RPL201 EFT F1CR F4 standard specifics:

SF2 F-105D Thunderchief by ArmorDave Update Pack                 12/3/2023
= For SF2, Any and All =
* Full-5 Merged reccomended *
** 1stGen Salvage Operation #7 **
This is a revamp and reissue ArmorDave's F-105D Thunderchiefs for the SF2 Environment (tm). These aircraft were first released in 2004, actually predating their 3rd Wire arrival in Wings Over Vietnam. These were among the first 3-party add-ons for the Strike Fighters series.
This mod is split into two aircraft:
F-105D-25 (NMF) (actually covers all early D model Thuds)
F-105D-31 (SEA 3 Tone) (Vietnam and later)
The -25 is equivilant to the stock 3W F-105D, while the -31 is pretty much the same as the 3W F-105D_66; in fact it HAS a 1966 start date.
The -25 has 3 skins/decal sets:
7th TFS "Bunyaps" 49th TFW - USAFE Spangdahlem Air Base, West Germany
562nd TFS, 23rd TFW - (shark mouth)
563rd TFS "Ace Of Spades", 23rd TFW -both at McConnel AFB, then Takhali RTAFB
The -31 also has 3 skin/decal sets:
333rd TFS "Lancers", 355TFW
357th TFS "Licking Dragons", 355TFW - both at Takhali RTAFB
149th TFS, Virginia ANG (auto start date 1971)
The SF2 'date swtich' will turn on the VA ANG skin in 1971(ish). All skins remain in their original bmp format. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Each unit has 24 historical serial and/or buzz numbers. As I always do, those marked with a star (*) are 100% correct for the unit. Those marked with a cross/plus sign (+) while serving in the same Wing, could =NOT= be run down to a particular squadron. Those aircraft with 'nose art' or name badges on the wings (333rd & 357th) are all new, and match their real life aircraft (ie: name ---> serial). As all the squadrons, excepting the VA ANG skin, are listed in the game's Squadron List, those displayed names are activated via Level=1 decals. Drop tanks are supplied for both aircraft, in NMF and Camo, as is a new pilot figure. All other weapons used are stock 3rd Wire, excepting any AGM-12 Bullpups you may want to load. (see notes for more info on loadouts)
When in-game, you'll see on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown listing ...
F-105D-25 Thunderchief (AD)
F-105D-31 Thunderchief (AD)
This will diferentiatalize them from the stock 3W or any others that you may have (or not). The "AD", of course, recognizes ArmorDave's contribution to SF.
As always, fairly easy to follow yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them! Also, please read the Notes section for more expositions on which, what, why, how and/or who (whom?). For the historical records, all original readmes are included.
Good Hunting!

SF2 T-34A Mentor (USAF) Upgrade Pack by RussoUK/Wrench       1/12/2023
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged plus Expansion 1 Reccomended)
Mofications to RussoUK's fun little T-34A Mentor (USAF) make some major and minor adjustments in skins, decals, data ini and other misc stuff. This is the full aircraft, with all the bits as issued by Russ in the original release. Just in case you don't have said original release, you won't have to go scrambling around trying to find the "weapons" (ok, drop tank) pilots and sounds. Also, because I was/am too lazy to pick out and remove stuff. Easier this way :)
Both the NMF and NMF/Orange skins have been redone with a lighter shade of pale metal, all new historically correct decals. It should be stated that the serial and buzz numbers, while historically correct, are generic in nature representing no particular base unit or squadron. The SF2 Date SWtich (tm) is active, and will cause the skins to change on partucular dates.
The names in quotations "xxxx" are how they will appear on the game's Drop Down Menu on the Loadout Screen. The skins are:
NMF (Early - starts Day 1) -- "USAF NMF (Early)"
NMF/Red-Orange (Late - starts 1959) -- "NMF/Red-Orange (Late)"
USAF 3-tone SEA came (1965). This is a non-real skin; I suspect the original FSX/? version is based on a Warbird, privately owned Mentor. However, the markings are correct for the time frame. They represent 80th Flight Training Wing at Sheppard AFB.  --- "80th FTW (F)"
Most markings are decals; exceptions would be wing insignia/nation names. Other markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. There are 18 serial/Buzz numbers for each aircraft. The 2 NMFs use a 'pool' of the same numbers. The Camo uses the correct style for the Vietnam Era. The "F" in the title obviously means "fake".
The aircraft keeps all it's original designations, so will appear the same in-game as the original download.
When in game, on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown menu, you'll see:
Beech T-34A USAF (R)
Hopefully, this will diferentiate it from any other T-34A Mentors that may (or may not) be available. The "R" stands for RussoUK, the model maker.
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions.
Happy Landings!

On 30 July 1953, the first Sabre Mk.5 flew with the Orenda 10 engine,
which gave it a clear rate of climb and ceiling advantage over earlier
variants. Other Mk 5 improvements included a new oxygen system and
improved maneuverability and low-speed characteristics achieved by
increasing the wing chord by six in (15.2 cm) at the root and three
in. (7.2 cm) at the wing tip along with fitting a small vertical wing
fence. This modification, originated by North American on the F-86F,
dramatically improved maneuverability, though the loss of the slatted
leading edge increased landing speed and degraded low speed handling
considerably. Canadair built 370 Mk 5s with the majority designated
for use in the RCAF's Air Division squadrons in Europe to replace
the Mk.2s. A total of 75 RCAF Sabre 5s were transferred to the German
Luftwaffe during 1957.
WHAT'S IN:
- 2 new planes
- 34 high rez skins
- decals, sounds, weapons etc.
CREDITS:
- Zur model
- Ravenclaw temps
- paulopanz skins, decals, ini edits
TO INSTALL:
- all in main mod folder and overwrite
 

Enjoy!
