MIG-31A Foxhound
The most capable Russian air defense interceptor aircraft, the FOXHOUND has a multiple-target engagement capability and was the first Soviet fighter to have a true look-down, shoot-down capability. The key to the MiG-31's effectiveness is the SBI-16 Zaslon fixed phased array antenna radar, codenamed 'Flash Dance' by NATO, which is said to be the world's most powerful fighter radar. The new Soloviev D-30F6 engine was specified for the MiG-31 in order to improve range, the key performance parameter for which an improvement over the MiG-25 was demanded. By 1987 over 150 FOXHOUNDs were operationally deployed at several locations from the Arkhangelsk area in the northwestern USSR to the Soviet Far East. The FOXHOUND is dedicated to the homeland air defense mission. The FOXHOUND carries the long-range AA-9 air-to-air missiles, and can engage 4 different targets simuitaneouly with the M-9.

During the 1970s, the Shackleton was replaced in the maritime patrol role by the jet-powered Hawker Siddeley Nimrod. 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.
What's In:
- a plane
- 3 skins (1 fixed and 2 new)
- decals (nose arts included)
Credits:
- model: Veltro2k
- original templates, original serial numbers and screens: Wrench
- original decals (squadron band): Spinners
- skins, decals tweaks, etc: Paulopanz
Install:
- all in your mod folder
Note:
This is realy a great add-on and a most needed AEW plane.
I'ld like to take care of ALL other Shackleton variants too, if Veltro'll like it.

The Sukhoi Su-17 (NATO reporting name: Fitter) is a Soviet variable-sweep wing fighter-bomber developed from the Sukhoi Su-7.
It enjoyed a long career in Soviet, later Russian, service and was widely exported to Eastern Bloc, Arab air forces, Angola
and Peru as the Su-20 and Su-22. It is the first variable-sweep wing of Soviet origin.
These are earlier models.
What's In:
7 Flyable planes
Su-17
Su-17K
Su-17M
Su-17M2
Su-20
Su-20R
Su=22
New Skins, Decals
Weapons, pilots, sounds
Credits:
- original model: Amokfloo
- first SF-2 pack: Eburger68
- new templates, skins, decats, tweaks etc: Paulopanz
Install:
- delete any previous version
- all in your mod folder
Note:
I started working on this plane many years ago. As the model was good I asked only for deleting dorsal antenna.
All things stopped when someone told me a bigger project was started about ALL Sukhois family.
In fact I saw a lot of fantastic pictures about it, but years went by and no Sukhoi was realised.
So I lost any hope about it and decided to finish up my very ancient skinpack using Y. Gordon book.
This plane has the same dorsal antenna I wanted to delete, but I think is quite good, now in a far better dressing than original one and this is the only one Sukhoi we have to fit in all comunity scenarios.
I hope you like!

SF2 Lockheed RC-121D Pack by RussoUK 8/20/2020
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
"Quarantine Approved - Essential Mods"
This package contains a new aircraft, the Lockheed RC-121D Warning Star Airborne Early Warning and Control aircraft as used by the US Air Force.
This aircraft comes complete with everything needed, and has skins that represent the following units, as is my habit one East Coast and one West Coast based units:
960th AEW&C Sqdn, 551st AEW&CW, Otis AFB, MA
963rd AEW&C Sqdn, 552nd AEW&CW, McClellan AFB, CA
The aircraft is presented in two finishes; overall NMF for the 963rd, and NMF with Arctic Red (orange?) wing, nose and tail sections. Both aircraft share a pool of 26 serial number decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. I was unable to run down individual serials for the units, so these should be considered 'generic' in nature, although they ARE correct for this aircraft.
When in game, on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown menu, you'll see:
RC-121D Warning Star (R)
Hopefully, will diferentiate it from any other RC-121s that you may (or may not) have, or be available. The "R" stands for RussoUK, the model maker.
As is always reccommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. Also, the credits list all the original FSX model & skin creators.
Happy Landings!

SF2 OV-1A Bronco, Remod Pack 7/27/2019
-For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Reccomended)
This is an remod of the North American OV-10A Bronco FAC and light attack aircraft, previously available. While there are still several issues (documented in "Notes"), it is in as good a shape as possible for SF2 without having someone build an entirely new LOD. If you have ANY previous versions, you are STRONGLY advised to back them up or delete them from you Mods folder(s). This includes the aircraft, decals, etc.
There are 9 skin and decal sets in this package. Skins remain in their original bmp format. Many decals have been refreshed to remove any "ghosting" around their edges. The SF2 "date switch" =IS= active on several skins. Included are the pilot figures, the drop tank and sounds. All weapons used on the aircraft are STOCK 3W items.
The skins included are:
USAF:
20th TASS Overall Gray (1969<)
19th TASS (USAF Camo1)
19th TASS Euro 1 (3-tone Gray/Greens)
USN:
VAL-4 "Black Ponies" (1969-72 SEA)
USMC:
HMLA-267 (1968-71)
VMO-2 (1968-1979)
VMO-2 (Desert Camo)(1990<)
VMO-6 (1968-77)
USMC Camo1 (3-tone Gray)
As is always reccommended, 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 more information and the change log. USAFMTL's original 2009 readme is included, in the main aircraft folder, for historical purposes.
Good Hunting!
