Gloster Meteor F8
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.
Mod is using standard TW fuel tanks 100 and 175 gal.
It will not work on SF1 gen game.
This model is based on Veltro2k model of Meteor T.7 uploaded on CA somewhere in 2016 by paulopanz.
Some time ago few guys decided (because they have a chance to do so) to rework this pretty aircraft. So, first of all, thank you Veltro2k.
Although.
There is just very few original parts of an old model. Most of it was remodeled. Added bits here and there. And of course it is F.8 not T.7...so generally different plane.
This mod contains only one generic skin without any national markings. Decals.ini file is not provided.
This mod is uploaded with an intention that the community will develop this mod...skins, decals etc. So do not expect tons of skins, serials and decals...You have to do it on your own. I did my part.
And yes I'm aware that we have Gloster Meteor F.8 - but this is my approach...
Templates in PSD format are provided.

Turkey is one of the very first countries to receive the F-104Gs within the MAP program. As a preparation for the new aircraft the 144th Squadron was organised at the 4th AB in Mürted-Ankara. The first 15 aircraft arrived on May 10th,1963 by sea and they were deployed at the newly founded squadron in July. In July 1963 two TF-104gs arrived and they were also assigned to the same squadron. This was followed by Canadair produced 18 F-104Gs and 2 TF-104Gs. The shipment continued in 1965 with 5 more Canadair built F-104Gs. All of these planes were deployed at the 144th Squadron. In 1968 3 pcs F-104G and 1 pc TF-104G were received from USAF.
The TuAF faced with the US embargo after the Cyprus peace-keeping Operation ordered a batch of 18 F-104S from Italy. 6 of the planes were delivered within the same year and the remainder in 1975 on the basis of the planes per month. In 1975 the purchase was risen to 40 planes all which were received within 1976.
The CF-104s, F-104Gs, TF-104Gs and the RF-104Gs which were strated being replaced by more modern aircraft were despatched to Turkey. This operation included 17 pcs F-104Gs from Belgium, 43 pcs F-104Gs & 12 pcs TF-104Gs from Holland, 12 pcs RF-104G and one TF-104G from Norway and 165 pcs F-104Gs and 36 pcs TF-104Gs from Germany. Canada also promised to hand over the CF-104s after being replaced by the F-18A/Bs. In 1986 44 pcs CF-104G & 6 pcs CF-104D were received. These planes were allocated to the 181st and to the 182nd Squadrons.
Within the elapsing time the TuAF F-104Gs started aging and they were withdrawn from active duty one by one. Some were even used as spare parts for those which were still in active duty. The last ones were the CF-104s of the 182nd Squadron when replaced by F-16C/Ds in 1996.

C-130 “Hercules” is one of the cornerstones of the Aviation History and it may be considered as one of the most successful cargo planes with its innovative design in which traces of “Kelly” Johnson’s works may be found.
After having contracted for 2 prototypes on July 11, 1951, Lockheed committed the first to its maiden flight on August 23, 1954. The marriage of a new and innovative cargo plane design with the great power output of turboprop engines was viewed as very promising by the military, who quickly placed a large order, assigning them to the Tactical Air Command (TAC) as quickly as they became available, starting in December 1956.
The long list of Hercules applications for the more than 1,500 built and delivered to all the military services includes; gunships, drone carrier/launch/control, missile tracking, space capsule retrieval, mapping, search and rescue, STOL research, weather reconnaisance, refueling tanker (including helicopters), assault transport, and command/communications. In addition, a stretched version was built for civilian cargo hauling.
The C-130 was originally designed as an assault transport capable of operating from unpaved, hastily prepared airstrips. It could transport up to 92 combat troops and their gear or 45,000 pounds of cargo. Where facilities were inadequate, the Hercules could deliver its cargo by parachute or by low altitude ground-cable extraction without landing.
Twenty-eight C-130s were also converted to side-firing gunships, called AC-130 “Gunship” and they were primarily used for night attacks against ground targets during the Vietnam War.

SF2:I Boeing C-97 "Anak", IDF/AF Pack 11/27/2017
= For SF2:I (or Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
*Please note, as there is no B-337 Stratcruiser, the C-97 is standing in for all the civilian versions used by the IDF/AF. Also, this represents ONLY the cargo versions, not the air refueling tankers*
This is a mod of Veltro2k's C-97G Stratofreighter depicting those as used by the Israeli Defense Force/Air Force in the mid-1960s through the late 1970s. This is the full aircraft "nationalized" for IDF/AF usage only.
Serial numbers are 100% historical for aicraft(s) depicted (both B337 & C-97). All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Pilot figures, various sounds are supplied. The new, updated/upgraded template IS included for other skinners to use.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please READ them ... after unzipping but before installling, of course!!
Happy Landings!

SF2 Boeing C-97 Cargo & HC-97 ARS Pak 10/16/2015
= For SF2 (Full 4 Merged or Full 5 RECCOMENDED) =
This package contains 2 complete aircraft and skin/decal sets for cargo-carrying C-97s (of all marks, as their differences are negligible), and a version used by Air Rescue Service (later ARRS)
Included are:
C-97G (can be used for any cargo variant -A,B,C,D,E,F,G)
MATS (generic)
MAC (115th ATS (H), 146th ATW, Caifornia ANG)
HC-97G:
303rd Aerospace Rescue & Recovery Squadron
The SF2 date switch is used on the skins for the C-97, switching from MATS to MAC in 1961.
Serial numbers, while generic in nature, ARE for the model depicted (KC-97G). 18 serial decals are included. Decal randomization is true. All markings are decals (excepting the HC-97's wing tips).
Damage texture is in DDS. A template is included in a seperate folder, but was only partly redone for those areas I need to repaint. Skinners are encouraged to improve and expand on it. In the C-97's decals folder, you'll also find the psd to create the "nose lozenge" that carried the last 4 digits of the serial number. This style is/was used on a great number of other MATS/MAC aircraft.
Crew entry door is operated by the Standard Animation Keystroke �, Shift/0 (zero). The rear cargo door & Loading ramps are operated by the standard bomb bay keystroke (Control/o (oh).
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
Happy Landings

Gloster Meteor T.7
second improved version for SF2.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.)
Install:
If you are here which means that you like old jets, and for sure you downloaded the previous pack already.
You should have proper squadronlist.ini from the previous pack by paulopanz.
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 uses tanks that are part of aircraft lod.
This is highly modified Veltro2k model uploaded on CA somewhere in 2016 by paulopanz.
Some time ago few guys decided (because they have a chance to do so) to rework this pretty aircraft. So, first of all, thank you Veltro2k.
Although.
There is just very few original parts of an old model. Most of it was remodeled. Added bits here and there.
We changed mapping and we made new skins...and a lot of new stuff. You will see.
Of course, you could expect more skins. And if you are expecting more skins - you will have to do it on your own. But templates are available.
All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize to needed resolution. better to downsize than rescale to higher res.
For sure Israeli Meteor will be uploaded someday soon. WIP.
