Mirage IIIB
The Armée de l'Air also ordered a two-seat Mirage IIIB operational trainer, which first flew in October 1959. The fuselage was stretched about a meter (3 ft 3.5 in) and both cannons were removed to accommodate the second seat. The IIIB had no radar, and provision for the SEPR rocket was deleted, although it could carry external stores. The AdA ordered 63 Mirage IIIBs (including the prototype), including five Mirage IIIB-1 trials aircraft, ten Mirage IIIB-2(RV) inflight refueling trainers with dummy nose probes, used for training Mirage IVA bomber pilots, and 20 Mirage IIIBEs, with the engine and some other features of the multi-role Mirage IIIE. One Mirage IIIB was fitted with a fly-by-wire flight control system in the mid-1970s and redesignated 'Mirage IIIB-SV (Stabilité Variable); this aircraft was used as a testbed for the system in the later Mirage 2000.

The Tupolev Tu-4 (NATO reporting name: Bull) was a piston-engined Soviet strategic bomber
that served the Soviet Air Force from the late 1940s to mid 1960s.
It was a reverse-engineered copy of the U.S.-made Boeing B-29 Superfortress.
What's in:
-Tu-4 main production version, originally designated B-4. PLAAF H-4.
-Tu-4A nuclear capable bomber used to test Soviet RDS-1, RDS-3 and RDS-5 nuclear bombs.
The standard Tu-4 was not capable of carrying these weapons.
-Tu-4K/KS anti-shipping version, armed with KS-1 Komet missiles carried between the engines under the wings.
-Tu-4R long range reconnaissance.
This work began only as a limited skinwork for bringing to Jon a better bomber to use in Formosa and TSF.
But after all serials were made, I remade and upgraded all 4 versions.
Especially the Tu-k now fitted with pylons for KS-1 Kometa and Tu-4A with RDS-3 nuke bomb.
Credits:
- MontyCz for original model
- Lindr2 for the SF1 version
- Eburger68 for first SF-2 edits (Nato)
- new decals, skins and edits are mine.
Install:
As usual all in main mod folder.
I hope this will be usefull in NATO, TSF & Formosa campaigns making ....
Enjoy!

The remaining Israeli Nesher aircrafts were refurbished and exported to the Argentine Air Force in two batches, 26 in 1978 and 13 in 1980, under the name Dagger, comprising 35 Dagger A single-seat fighters and 4 Dagger B two-seat trainers.
They formed a new unit, 6th Air Group, and were immediately enlisted with the help of the 8th Air Group (Mirage IIIEA) and the Peruvian Air Force, already a user of the Mirage 5, due to the escalating crisis with Chile of that year.
During the 1982 Falklands War, they were deployed to the southern naval airbase of Río Grande, Tierra del Fuego, and an airfield in Puerto San Julián and despite the distance to their targets and lack of aerial refueling capability, managed to make 153 sorties against both ground and naval targets on the 45 days of operations. In the last role, they damaged HMS Antrim, Brilliant, Broadsword, Ardent, Arrow and Plymouth. Eleven Daggers were lost in combat (nine by AIM-9L Sidewinders fired from Sea Harriers and two by surface to air missiles).
In the 1979 contract with IAI, the Argentine Air Force stipulated that the Daggers would be equipped with new avionics and HUD systems to take them to the Kfir C.2 (and beyond in some subsystems) standard. The program, named Finger, was underway in 1982 when the Falklands War broke out. With the war over, as some of these systems were made by the British Marconi Electronic Systems, they needed to be replaced after an arms embargo was imposed by the UK. The replacement of such systems took the planes to the final Finger IIIB standard mainly by replacing the British equipment with French-built Thomson-CSF.
WHAT'S IN:
- a new plane
- 10 new skins (2048x2048), including Cap. Raùl Diaz's very own plane - decals
- ini edits from stock Nesher
CREDITS:
- Ludo for Mirage templates adapted by me
- fake pilot antennas from Falklands mod (included)
INSTALL:
- You need SF-2 Israel to use
- put all in main mod folder and overwrite
- that's all
NOTE:
This mod was sitting on my HD from long time (in fact the skins were made in bmp), but it was kindly requested from a friend
Enjoy

SF2 AD-4B Skyraider, KAW Era 4/15/2015
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full-5 Merged Preferred) =
*Note: =MUST= have SF2:V as part of your merged install to access the A-1H lod used herein. This, like the other
KAW Skyraiders with the "_3W suffix, is based off the stock A-1H lod.*
The mod represents AD-4B Skyraiders during the Korean War. It should be noted, the -4B was equipped for "special weapons delivery", and was the primary type the USN had for this at the time. Of course, it carries all the conventional munitions as well, so standard mission tasking remains. 2 special loadouts are available through the 3W mission editor (see "Notes" for more details).
The skin herein represents:
VA-195 "Dambusters" aboard USS Princeton (CVA-37) circa 1952
The aircraft is finished is standard 1950s Dark Gloss Navy Blue. The skin is in jpg format. All markings are decals, excepting the green squadron color on the tail fin. Decal randomization is TRUE.
The BuNums, while correct for this model, are not specific to any squadron, and should be considerd 'generic' in nature.
Wingfold and canopy are controled via the Standard Animiation Keystrokes . Shift/9 for the wings, and Shift/0 for the window.
Most weapons are suppllied, including the low-yeild (8 kt) "special". The nuke effects are from the Gunny Pak, and I HOPE I've got all the pieces/parts in place; if not, you'll have to locate them yourselves from the Gunny Pak (or just intall the Effects from there). The other weapons used can be found in the KAW weapons pack.
On the Aircraft selection drop down, you'll see
AD-4B Skyraider (3W)
To differentiate it from the other -4s. The "3W" indicates use of the stock 3W lod.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....In fact, read them before installing, but after unzipping of course! This mostly pertains the effects used for the 'special weapon'.
Good Hunting!

SF2 AD-4N (Late) Skyraider, 1950s USN 4/12/2015
= For SF2 (Any & All, Full- Merged Prefered) =
*Note: must have SF2:V as part of your merged install to access the A-1H lod used herein. This, like several of the KAW Skyraiders with the "_3W suffix, is based off the stock A-1H lod.*
Something slightly different, for USN Skyraider squadrons in the mid-1950s. I basiclly did this as I got tired of seeing DGNB AD-4Ns parking on deck intermixed with Grey/White jets and such (even though that IS historically correct). But, some early models DID survive the switch, and operated in the Gull Grey/White. This is one of them...
The skin herein represents:
VA-216 "Black Diamonds" aboard USS Yorktown (CVA-10) circa 1956/57
The skin is in jpg format. All markings, excepting the tail Black Diamonds, are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE.The BuNums, while correct for this model, are not specific to any squadron, and should be considerd 'generic' in nature.
Wingfold and canopy are controled via the Standard Animiation Keystrokes . Shift/9 for the wings, and Shift/0 for the window.
All weapons used are stock in-game items, excepting the APS-31 radar pod and ALT-7 ECM pod.
I'm trying out a different "style" for the Hangar screen; I hope you like it.
On the Aircraft selection drop down, you'll see
AD-4N Skyraider (Late) (3W)
This will differentiate it from the -4NL and other -4 marks. The "3W" indicates use of the stock 3W lod.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....

SF2 KAW Hawker Sea Fury (SB) Pack 4/4/2015
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*Note: There is a distinct probability that this mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs at any patch level. End Users that attempt it, do so at their own risk. A Full 5 Merged install is reccomened at the LATEST patch level.*
This package contains a NEW aircraft for SF2, the Hawker Sea Fury FB.11 by Skippybing. We've been waiting a long time for this, and through the work of some damn good people, finally have it operaional for the game.
Skins included are for the following units:
FAA:
801 (HMS Glory, 1951 -with stripes)
802 (HMS Theseus, early 1951 -no stripes)
807 (HMS Ocean, 1952, -wth stripes)
RAN:
805 (HMAS Sydney)
All skins are in bmp format, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. All markings are decals (from PauloPanz' excellent upgrade of the orginal Sea Fury by Simon Porter). This will allow for easy creation of other FAA or other countries markings (as long as it's in the standard FAA camo). The usual 'box art' hangar screen is included, revamped for SF2.
Canopy and wingfold operate via the 'standard animation keystrokes' (shift/0 for the window, and Shift/9 for the wings). Weapons are NOT included (all those used are in the KAW weapons pak), other than the drop tank. However, the pilot figure and AvHistory engine sound is.
For the skinners, I've included the partial template I had to create. Those with the talent, time and inclination are encourged to expand my work, and use it to create other the countries and squadron users various paint schemes. The user list included has almost all listed. Expansion there is also encouraged. The template folder itself, as you'll see after unzipping, is OUTSIDE the to-be-installed /Objects folder. Put it somewheres safe, eh?
As an extra added bonus, some ships. HMAS Sydney, from eburger's SF2NA CV SuperPack is included for the RAN flyers. It's had a few minor changes. See notes for details.
Also, My "stand in" Tribal DD, with expanded userlist and some minor corrections (also usable for WW2!!). As well as RAN "Battle" class DDs, stand-ins bases off Stephan1918s V/W class DDs (closest fit), for you Battle Grouping pleasure.
When in-game, on the aircraft selection menu you'll see:
Sea Fury FB.11 [sb]
This not only tags is as "skippybing", but will diferentiate it from Simon Porter's older one.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, take note of the "Legal and Usage Disclaimer', it's been changed for this aircraft.
Good Hunting!
