= For SF2, Any/All (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED!) =
This is the release of Marcfighters Atlas Impala Mk.2, single seat COIN/Attack jet as used by the South African Air Force.
This aircraft has/had languished for a considerable amount of time in that "hangar of forgotten & unfinished mods". I hope that this will correct that.
This mod represents the Atlas Impala MK2, single seat attack jets. The mod uses all stock 3W weapons (which may need further research/adjustments). 25 all new historically correct SAAF serial number decals are included, and Randomization is TRUE These decals are used for both included skins. This is the SAAF -ONLY-, non exported version. No user list was created; the aircraft is single nation only. There are 2 skins, and "Early" and "Late"; the late uses the SF2-date switch and starts in 1982
When in-game, you'll see
Atlas Impala MK.II (MB-326K SAAF)
on the aircraft drop down selection panel.
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. The Uploader takes NO credit for the aircraft itself, only for those edits and adjustment to get it more in compliance with the SF2 Environment (tm). See "Notes" section for full change log and other VERy important statements.
= Please Note: is models is released "AS IS". Anything that cannot be corrected/adjusted via ini edits will remain so for all time =
Happy Landings!

** Important Note: if you install this to the Angola Mod, be advised that there exists an aircraft named Impala Mk.II. This should NOT conflict with it, but you may have some editing to do, as theirs is labeled "Stand In". It is not advised to just drop this one into that mod without further editing. **
 
UPDATED: 3/7/2019
"Early" skin has been repainted to remove national markings. All have now been replaced with decals.

The only foreign buyer of the Panther was the Argentine Naval Aviation, which bought 28 ex-USN F9F-2B aircraft in 1957;
the first 10 arrived in 1958. Only 24 aircraft were put in service, the rest were used as spares.
The first flight of an Argentine Panther was in December 1958, and the last aircraft was put in service in January 1961.
The catapults on the then only Argentine carrier, ARA Independencia, were considered not powerful enough to launch the F9F,
so the aircraft were land-based. However, in July 1963 a Panther (serial 0453/3-A-119) landed on Independencia as part of trials;
becoming the first jet to land on an Argentine aircraft carrier.
Argentine Navy F9F-2 Panthers saw combat in the 1963 Argentine Navy Revolt, bombing and strafing a column of the Army 8th Tank Regiment
which was advancing on the rebelling Punta Indio Naval Air Base. The attack destroyed several M4 Sherman tanks, at the cost of one F9F Panther shot down.
The Argentine Panthers were involved in the general mobilization during the 1965 border clash between Argentina and Chile but no combat occurred.
They were taken out of service in 1969 due to the lack of spare parts and replaced with Douglas A-4Q Skyhawks.
The Argentine Navy also operated the F-9 Cougar.
WHAT'S IN:
- a new, dedicated Armada plane [needed to be used from carriers]; 3 Skins
- decals, screens

NAA FJ-3M Fury
= For SF2, Any and All =
 
This is the full, compiled package of Zur/Column5's FJ-3M Fury. I've assembled all theskin/decal sets I could find into one big lump.
 
Skins included in the pak are:
 
VF-53 from ??
VF-62 from USS Essex, ATG-201 during the Beirut Crisis
VF-73 from USS Randolph, circa 1956/57
VF-84 from USS Forrestall, crica 1956/57
VF-142 from USS Hornet, 1956
VF-211 from USS BonHomme Richard, circa 1956
VMF-312 (actually an FJ-3 in Natural Metal, circa 1955ish)
 
Some of the older decals have been replaced by new-builds, and all the positioning has been reset to match photographic and profile evidence. With a little luck, they're right! Decal randomization is also set to TRUE, so make sure you're at least at the July 2011 patch level (or whichever one gave that to us)
 
Also included is a new drop tank (based off the original Sabre tank), as reskinned by C5 for the original release. I've just did some hex editing and renaming of the tank to create the "new" version just for the Fury.
Other changes are the addition of the Userlist, a new avionics ini that adds the radar-ranging gunsight. And a revamped SF2 version of my 'artwork' hangar screen. Loadouts use all stock, in-game items.
The aircraft is fully carrier-capable, via the addition of a 'virtual' arrestor hook. The 'destroyed model' callout has been added, using the closest shape (F-100D). Not perfect, but it works!
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full,detailed, easy-to-follow install instructions. Of course, the usual 'Notes' section for the ravings of a madman!!
 
Happy Landings!

Meteors Over Korea
Bunch of Meteors for the Royal Australian Air Force used during the Korean War.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) 
Install:
Copy paste specific folders into a correct destination.
Fake pilot is required to run this mod. Also, Thirdwire Meteor cockpit is required from the original game. 
Fuel tanks- not to be afraid. Overwrite or just leave it. 100 gal tank is original TW tank. You can overwrite or just simply do not copy.
175 gal tank also.
Tanks are just ini files. Mod use tanks that are part of aircraft lod.
Yes, again Meteors. 
This is pack contains only F.8 and T.7 models used by RAAF.

All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize to needed resolution.  better to downsize than rescale to higher res.
All decals are based on available materials and are historically correct.  Few nose arts included.
I've made skins sets per year regarding loses and reinforcements in 77Sq. between 1951-1953. I was trying to be accurate as possible even with all game limits.  Loses /  reinforcements are credited per year..so loses from 1951 are not seen in 52 - but new planes are available as reinforcements arrived. 
 
Credits.
Veltro2k  - the original model early model.
Me -  model rework into T.7 and F.8 and some other mambo jumbo like skins, decals, research...
 76.IAP-Blackbird - also T model re-working.
Charles - original FM from original T.7 upload. 
Nose art decals for Halestorm, Bow 'em Over, Cap'n Mac - from Kulbit's Gloster Meteor RAAF pack. 
Seat - all credits o creator - unfortunately I don't remember who made this seat. I guess skin is by Kulbit.
Pilots - I have no idea / don't remember who did it. All credit to him/her.  - one of my favorites figures in a game - I've added this to correspond with the data file.
Weapons
RP-3 rockets from Ravenclaw.
This model is designed/checked only to work with ravenclaw's RP-3 rockets - so might be some strange positioning in other (stock) rockets.
 
Have fun
Report bugs.
Expect the unexpected

IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT

Harbin H-5 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire Il-28 'Beagle' to create the reverse engineered Harbin H-5 copy. As the PLAAF also operated the Il-28 I've set the service dates to match those given for the stock Third Wire Il-28 (for China) but the Chinese H-5 programme was a slow starter
and it didn't enter service until 1967.
Generic markings with new serial numbers based on the photo of '83002' with a painted radome are included and please note that this mod uses Wrench's F-4B pit for pasko's Yak-25B 'Brewer' so it should work with any version of SF2 that has medium length runways.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the H-5 folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the H-5 folder into your main Decals folder.
3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_PLAAF folder into your main Pilots folder.
That's it!

CREDITS
Thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
Thanks to Wrench for the Brewer cockpit.
Thanks also to whoever did the excellent PLAAF pilot (let me know and I'll gladly give credit).
And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Version 2 - 03/02/19
Version 1 - 14/07/12  
 
 
 

Reworked pack of F-101A and C VooDoo.
Generally old good VooDoo in new dresses.
There are some small changes in data.ini files mostly in weapon stations section - so Backup your original file. You might not like it.
 
Despite VooDoo is extremely sexy aircraft it is much useless. Unfortunately. It was designed to be something different but had to serve in a totally different role. Nuclear Strike Aircraft. 
Because I'm always doing mods my way - to fit my needs. I wanted to have squadrons that used  "fighting 101". So the thing is...this is one aircraft -  because squadrons contained a mix of A and C versions and this aircraft had very limited use I decided to make one aircraft to cover both A and C version.
By default, I used A version limits.   Anyway, differences were only in the internal structure of airframe. 
Airframe 54-1491 served as CO aircraft in 27th TFW. So in the early sixties, it will pop up in special markings for 78th, 91st, and 92nd squadrons. 
If you want separate aircraft A and C you will have to do it on your own. Decals/serials for C are marked in numbers.lst with 'dot' .  
 
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 11 skin sets for early use by 27th TFW and then 81st TFW - all squadrons that ever used F-101A / C  (from different time periods to cover years of usage).
All new decals consisting of 95 serial numbers for block 20-35 of A version and block  40-55 for C version. 

Backup your original F-101 Folders. Also Decals!
Pack also includes the Mk.7 Tactical Nuclear Bomb.  New model quickly made for purposes of this pack. 
 
And an extra thing for squadron/wing geeks - set of skins for squadron hack. 
 
Credits:
Original models ErikGen
yakarov - skins / decals / some small ini tweak / Mk.7 model
Soulfreak - original skin for an extra thing. 
 
Have Fun.
May the VooDoo be with you.
