Cold War Era Aircraft

    1. The Mystère IV was an evolutionary development of the Mystère II aircraft.
      Although bearing an external resemblance to the earlier aircraft, the Mystère IV
      was in fact a new design with aerodynamic improvements for supersonic flight.
      The prototype first flew on 28 September 1952, and the aircraft entered service
      in April 1953. The first 50 Mystere IVA production aircraft were powered by
      British Rolls-Royce Tay turbojets, while the remainder had the French-built
      Hispano-Suiza Verdon 350 version of that engine.
      This plane was "the star" of War of the Stripes over Suez in 1956
      France was the main operator of the Mystère IV and at the peak usage operated
      6 squadrons. Most of the aircraft were purchased under a United States Offshore
      Procurement contract and many were returned to US custody after they were retired.
      In April 1953 the United States government and the United States Air Force placed
      an order for 223 aircraft to be operated by the French. The new Mystère IVs were
      used in the 1956 Suez Crisis and continued in use into the 1980s
      The Mystère IV became Israel's first swept-wing fighter when an order for Mystère
      IIs was changed to 24 Mystère IVs in 1955, which were delivered from April to June
      1956, equipping 101 Squadron. A further 36 were delivered in August 1956, with a
      final aircraft, equipped for reconnaissance duties, delivered in September 1956.
      On 29 October 1956, when Israel attacked Egypt in the opening move of what became
      known as the Suez Crisis, invading the Sinai Peninsula, the Mystères of 101 Squadron
      were deployed on both air-to-air and ground attack mission.
      A second squadron, 109 Squadron was equipped with the Mystère IV in December 1956,
      while 101 Squadron passed its Mystères to 116 Squadron in November 1961. Israel
      planned to replace the Mystère IV with the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, but 109 and 116
      Squadron still operated the French fighter on the outbreak of the Six-Day War.
      The Mystère was finally retired from Israeli service on 18 March 1971.
      India procured 104 of aircraft in 1957 and used them extensively in the Indo-Pakistani
      War of 1965. The phasing out of the aircraft started soon after the 1965 Indo-Pakistani
      War, though it saw further action in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, it was completely
      phased out of the Indian Air Force by 1973.

    2. Reworked pack of RF-101A and C VooDoo.
      Generally old good VooDoo in new dresses.
      There are big changes in FM model thanks to baffmeister  in data.ini files - so Backup your original file. You might not like it.
       
      In game you will find new aircrafts under names
      *RF-101A VooDoo
      *RF-101C VooDoo '58
      *RF-101C VooDoo '66
      note that RF-101C '58 uses non-RWR - VooDoo A cockpit.
       
      All new skins in 3072x3072 resolution. New bump maps and specular maps. also in 3072.. plus decals to cover A and C models serial numbers.
      Pack contains several skin sets for both models. With all research, I was trying to be correct as much as possible.
      RF-101A have also one skin/decal set which contains few decal skin sets to cover experimental camo trials conducted in mid 60s. 
      Regarding colorful aircraft serial numbers: 
      54-1513 some say it was dark green some that really black. more info goes towards black so I painted it black (like Rolling Stones in 1966)
      54-1514 first was painted similar as represented in this pack, then it was repainted with adding some brown colors.
      54-1512 green/black camo with added brown during tests. 
      All this skin set with experimental camo trial is quite complicated and hard to put correctly in-game but I hope it will work fine for you.
      I did not include skin sets for VooDoo operated over Vietnam. This will come in a separate package. Eventually. One day.

      All new decals consisting of serial numbers for block 20-35 of A version and block  45-75 for C version. 

      Backup your original RF-101 Folders. Also Decals!

      Original models ErikGen
      yakarov - skins / decals / some small ini tweak

      May the VooDoo be with you.

    3. North American RF-100A for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a very simple mod of the stock North American F-100A to create an RF-100A 'placeholder' until something better comes along.
      You'll need to have Expansion Pack 2 to access the F-100A.
      This little known Cold War warrior today can lay claim to being the world's first supersonic recconnaisance aircraft and I'd encourage you to read what you can about the handful of RF-100A's starting here;
      http://www.spyflight.co.uk/f100.htm
      Now I'm not a 3D modeller so I've done the best I could using MiG-21 recon pods to create the broadly similar shapes seen on the real RF-100A. To get them to load I've classified them as non-jettisonable fuel tanks so don't worry about dropping your tanks on the return dash - your precious wet film will still be there for the CIA boffins to examine. The RF-100A's carried no armament so I've deleted the 20mm cannon and removed the gun smoke but unfortunately the gun troughs are still there but you'll soon forget about that.
       
      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the RF-100A folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the RF-100A folder into your Decals Folder.
      3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the SLICK_CHICK folder into your Weapons folder.
      That's it!
       
      CREDITS
      As always, big thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.
      A thank you to whoever created the MiG-21 Recon Pod and I hope you don't mind it being used here.
      And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

    4. Third Wire MiG-23 fighters made flyable & updated for SF2
       
      MiG-23M, MiG-23M (85), MiG-23MF, MiG-23ML, MiG-23MLA, MiG-23MLD, MiG-23MLD (Soviet-Afgan War), MiG-23MLDe, MiG-23P, MiG-23P (82), MiG-23MS
       
      This is a follow on from my "Third Wire MiG-23MLD updated & flyable for SF2" mod and completely supersedes it.
       
      - All are flyable with a modified version of Stary's MLD cockpit/ avionics with corrections by Crusader and myself. There are slightly different cockpits/ gunsights depending on the model of aircraft.
      - Wing spoilers are now working as they were always there just not activated. Thanks again Crusader!
      - Opening Canopy.
      - KM-1 Ejection seats added. Grey on most but black for Mig-23MLDe, MiG-23P and MiG-23P (82).
      - Loadouts enhanced and corrected. Some Afghanistan specific ones added.  Use of Kh-25M air-to-surface missile and datalink pod added.
      - Missile positions corrected, especially for the AA-8.
      - Single missile rail for the fuselage AA-8.
      - Improved/ corrected FM.
      - Improved engine sound and afterburner effect.
      - All Mig-23 have an ACM/ boresight radar mode but it is set straight ahead along the gunsight and does not move/ scan. The MLD and P (82) have an ACM/ boresight mode that scans vertically like the F-16 or F-15 etc.
      - MLD, MLDe and P (82) have KDS-23 countermeasure dispenser installed in the centreline drop tank pylon. This is a 12 shot chaff/ flare countermeasure dispenser that could be used once the drop tank had been jettisoned.
      - MLD Leading edge flaps automatically deploy during maneuvering as they did on the MLD with the type 3 wing.
      - MLD Primary and secondary roles expanded to reflect the evolution of the MLD into a more multi role fighter platform.
      - Removed ECM jammer from MLD.
      - Radar data and performance is corrected from the S-23MLA radar to the S-23MLA-II radar for the MLD.
      - Most if not all the exported and Warsaw pack ML aircraft were actually MLA models, this is an error in most publications, model kits and flight sims alike and has only been corrected in recent publications. The ML was operated by the Soviet airforce and by the time the export models were being built the production line had switched to the MLA. This is now corrected in the game.
       All skins updated with cockpit textures and various other minor details.
      - Grey undersides on Soviet Camouflage skins changed from grey to blue/ grey.  Additional dark green added in to the Soviet camouflage of later model MiG-23s. Lots of other texture corrections done.
      - Skins added for Iraqi, Syria (Late), Polish camouflage, Egypt, North Korea, Libya, Soviet desert (in Afghanistan) and Soviet Afghanistan veterans.
      - Corrections to decal size and/ or positions on various skins.
      - Additional MiG-23MLDe variant created. This is the Syrian and Libian specific export model of the MLD which did not have the IFF or aerodynamic enhancements (vortex generators) of the Soviet MLD and had a slightly downgraded radar. Syrian made countermeasure dispensers installed on either side of the tail fin.
      - Additional MiG-23P (82) variant created. This is the Soviet P model that was upgraded to the same standard as the MLD but without the aerodynamic enhancements.
      - Additional MiG-23M (85) variant created. This is a few squadrons of the Soviet M model that had its IFF upgraded some time between 1978 and the early 90's (Same nose IFF antenna as the MLD and P (82).
      - Additional MiG-23MLD (Soviet-Afgan War) variant created. This is the Soviet MLD but reflects the specific loadouts, modifications, countermeasures and markings of the MLD models that served in the Soviet Afgan war.
      - Updated weapons from the RSSW 099 mod.
       
      To Install:
      1, Delete ALL previous TW MiG-23 mods.
      2, Unpack and drop the 2 parts of this download into your main mods folder.
      3, You MUST override when prompted.

      by Viper63a, dtmdragon, Lel and Fanatic Modder!
      -------------------------------------------------------------
      This mod was intended as an update to FastCargo's Super Vark Package (See link below), but it can be a standalone mod if you just want the USAF F-111s included in this pack. If you want to install both packs, FastCargo's pack must be installed first as that is the older pack.

      -------------------------------------------------------------
      This mod includes the updated individual E/F-111A/D/E/F mod packs + other excellent contributions! I had some requests to put them all into one pack for it would be easier to download. So here they are. All the F-111s in this packs are also available for individual downloads in the following links...if you just want a certain model. The F-111D updates from dtmdragon, Lel and Fanatic Modder are only available in this mod pack.

      Installation:
      -------------------------------------------------------------
      I recommend that you back up your mod folder (or just the Effects, \Objects\Aircraft\F-111* folders). I just make a copy the mod folder, try the mod, if I like it, I delete the backup. If I don't, I delete the new/updated mod folder and rename the old backup/copy back to the original names to reset to my original setup.
      * To install, simply unzip and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder (the uncompressed "Effects and Objects" folders only) to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite.
      My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
      C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Europe\
      Note: You should be able to install this mod into any SF2 series, it doesn't have to be StrikeFighter2 Europe.
      * To remove, simply delete the active "Effects and Objects" folders and replace with the back up copies you made prior to the install.
      -------------------------------------------------------------
      Add F111 SoundList
      -------------------------------------------------------------
      Lastly, Read the "Add F111 SoundList.txt" readme file on updating your your "Flight\SoundList.ini" file with the custiom F-111 sound files included in this pack.

    8. F-106A Delta Dart
      The Convair F-106 Delta Dart was the primary all-weather interceptor aircraft
      of the United States Air Force from the 1960s through to the 1980s. Designed
      as the so-called "Ultimate Interceptor", it proved to be the last dedicated
      interceptor in U.S. Air Force service to date. It was gradually retired during
      the 1980s.

      F-106A Project Six Shooter 1972
      In 1972 F-106As were upgraded in Project Six Shooter that involved fitting
      the F-106 with a new canopy without metal bracing which greatly improved pilot
      visibility. Also added was an optical gunsight, and provision for a single M61
      Vulcan 20 mm cannon. The M61 Vulcan had 650 rounds of ammunition in the center
      weapons bay and it replaced the AIM-26 Super Falcon or Genie.
      QF-106A Drone Pacer Six
      Between 1 June 1983 and 1 August 1988 the Delta Darts were incrementally retired
      and sent to the Military Storage and Disposition Center in Arizona.When the need
      for a high performance Full Scaled Aerial Target Drone was required the USAF began
      withdrawing Delta Darts from storage. Starting in 1986, 194 (F-106A and B) of the
      surviving surplus aircraft were converted into target drones and these were
      designated QF-106As and used for target practice vehicles under the Pacer Six Program
      by the Aerial Targets Squadron. The last was destroyed in January 1998.The drones
      were still capable of being flown as manned aircraft, such as for ferrying to a test;
      during the test they were flown unmanned.The QF-106 replaced the QF-100 Super Sabre
      drone; the last shoot down of a QF-106 (57-2524) took place at Holloman AFB on 20
      February 1997 after which the QF-106 was superseded by the QF-4S and QF-4E Phantom II
      drone.
      What's In:
      - F-106A repacked
      - F-106A '72 refit
