    1. ALL work by ME ( Sundowner ) is now no longer covered by the CombatAce Freeware Licensing agreement.
      What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it. So please no copying of my skins for any use other than your own.
      This model is a is yet another rebuild of the old TMF max files which I was working on from the very outset. 
      .
      It is is no way designed to compete or to relpace the versions released by daddyairplanes, so dont try to use those skins on this model....the maps are different.
      The RF4-C nose has had a complete rebuild since the DA version as the nose profile is completly wrong along with more accurate air conditioner intakes and camera windows etc, etc
      The fuselage also got rebuilt to cure many shape issues and to give a more accurate undersides.
      Too many small fixes to list
      DO NOT INSTALL OVER ANY RF-4C-65 MODELS YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE..................re name this one!
      Please read the readme....it's for your benefit not mine.

                  About The Mirage Factory Rebuilt
      Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in
      use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009.
      But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original
      modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were
      just hopeful wishes over a decade ago.
          The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced
      with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is jsut standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today
      and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him.    
      on behalf of The Mirage Factory (original and rebuilt) I thank you for downloading this mod, and hope you enjoy it.

    3. Mirage F1EQ5_Iriaf
      This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.
      Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force seized 24 F1BQs and F1EQs flown over from Iraq, during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. As of December 2021, 12 Mirage F1EQs and 5 Mirage F1BQs were in service.
      This mod is not 100% accurate, Iran used all the EQ versions but for more simplicity we decided to use only one version, the EQ-5, to cover all the IRIAF aircrafts.
      There is not a lot of informations about the Iranian Mirage, so we did our best to make a realistic aircraft.
      Based on Iraqi F1EQ-5 v4.0.1 mod with the following changes:
      all the original Iraqi weapons and pods have been disabled as Iran did not get any of those P7 and sidewinder compatibility added (instead of R550) F5 tanks (underwings stations only) instead of original F1 RP35 US bombs and rockets. Another data.ini version is provided for russians bombs and rockets use instead of US. Covered unit :
      102sd TFS
      This addon is and will in all cases remain freeware.
      Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms.
      Enjoy

      What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it. So please no copying of my skins for any use other than your own.
      What we have here is an almost completely new RF-4B model, there are 3 separate versions to choose  from all with small differences and skins.
      They are all from VMCJ-1 which was the only RF-4B unit that was stationed in Vietnam for almost the full duration of the war.
      Please read the readme as I'm struggling with using a keyboard at the moment.....

    5. F-86D 月光 -  Gekko of Japan Air Self-Defense Force
      Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) 
      Install:
      Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination.
      A fake pilot is required to run this mod.
      This is a new model of F-86D. 
      In the game, you will find it under a prefix .JASDF. * 
      * Japan Air Self-Defense Force

      I fixed data files a little - collision points and hitboxes..as the previous ones were quite weird. However, I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea or coffee. 
      All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed.
      Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in the JASDF in a particular year. More or less
       
      Credits.
      The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench.
      Yours truly  -  model rework, mambo jumbo like skins, decals, research...
      Weapons Mk4 Might Mouse and AIM-9 by Ravenclaw. 
      TACAN is made as a "weapon" that will load automatically after a certain year. 
       
      Have fun.

      These aircraft are aimed at the folks that actually like to fly missions, So going by that line of action all markings and serial numbers are painted on, this has the added bonus of gaining me a couple of extra fps and also means that I can export the lod WITHOUT the decals option, this definitely gains some more precious fps.
      This model is a combination of the old (Crab_02 RF-8G) and TMF RF-8A max files which I was working on from the very outset. 
      The RF-8A never got released because of Oli's sudden death.
      I've combined what I think are the best parts of both to come up with the models here, they may not be perfect or "historically correct" in every way as they are a constant wip.
      Please read the readme, you never know you might learn something.......
      Sundowner.

    7. Late Model RF-4C's : Photo Phantoms After Vietnam
                  A TMF Rebuilt project
      This mod brings four versions of the phamous photo Phantom into the game, and begins to represent it in its final years of USAF service as well as in South Korean service.
                  Required
      A functional copy of any Strike Fighters 2 game except for SF2 North Atlantic (the only one without a native F-4 destroyed model)
                  Included
      Effects, sounds, weapons, and 4 RF-4C aircraft
      RF-4C_75: regular tanks and centerline pylon to allow nuke carriage.
      RF-4C_85: choice of regular Phantom centerline tank or F-15 style tank. Last full up model in use
      RF-4C_LORAN_75: similar to _75 but with dorsal "towel rack" antennae for ARN-92 avionics
      RF-4C_ARN_101:  similar to _85, but with the dorsal antennae for the ARN-101 avionics
      This pack is the starter kit, with a few skins per aircraft to get started. There are many other skinpacks available to suite your taste in operations; check in the F-4 Skins

    8. F-86D Sabre Dog
      Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) 
      Install:
      Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination.
      Make a backup copy of your files if you have a similar mod already on your PC, you might not like this one. 
      A fake pilot is required to run this mod.

      A new model of F-86D and IF-86D as used by the Yugoslav Air Force
      In the game, you will find it under the prefix  JRV 
       
      All skins are in 3072x3072 format. You can easily resize as needed. If needed I can provide it in 4096 format. 
      Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in the YugoslavAir Force. There is one issue that I do not like and that might bother someone too, but I will attempt to fix this as soon as I have more available references.
      The issue is that amid 130 delivered F-86D around 30 (32) were converted into reconnaissance version. And around 30 were designated for spare parts upon delivery.  Serial numbers that cover "spare parts airframes" are easy to determine, and those serial numbers were removed from whole serials /decals/numbers. Unfortunately finding which of the 98 operational airframes were converted into a recon version is nearly impossible (I was able to find two numbers among 32).
      So in the game, you will have 98 airframe serial numbers for F-86D (a little less for the 1968 camouflaged skin set) and 32 for IF-86D... while those 32 serials of IF-86D should be subtracted from those 98. 
      This mod is no longer using a fake rocket tray gun. Now thanks to sudden enlightenment it works as stock Lightning F.1
       
      Credits.
      The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench.
      Yours truly  -  model rework, mambo jumbo like skins, decals, research...
      strahi - help with skins and research.
      Weapons Mk4 Might Mouse by Ravenclaw. 
      additional SAB-100 illumination bomb but made as free falling parachuted rocket.

       
      Have fun.
