SF2 Mystere 4A (AJ) Pack       5/31/2024
-For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested )
-Another 1stGen Salvage Operation-
This is a rebuild of Ajundair's 1st Gen Dassault Mystere IVA, as used by the French, Israeli and Indian Air forces from the 1950s through the 1970s. As this mod references a stock cockpit, SF2:I and/or SF2:E are REQUIRED (or a full 5 Merged, of course!).
This mod is set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Mystere IVA  available from within the game (Third Wire) or any mods of the stock bird that may exist.  Skins remain in their original bmp format. Most markings are decals, with the exception of the fuselage color bands on some of the NMF skins. Decal Randomization is TRUE.  All necessary items are provided, decals, weapons, pilots, sounds, and so forth. Some you've probably got already. If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed.
The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero)
The aircraft is supplied with a number skins for the varying Air Forces:
France:
EC 1/5 Vendee (<1955)
EC 2/8 Languedoc (61-82) - both in NMF
Israel:
No.101 Sqnd "First Fighter" (<1955 NMF)
No.101 Sqdn "First Fighter" (NMF, w/Red Stripe <58)
No.116 Sqdn "Flying Wing" (Blue/Brown Camo <61)
No.116 Sqdn "Flying Wing" (3-tone <69)
India:
"Indian Silver" (standard NMF <1957)
As indicated, the SF2 "date switch" is active. The IDF/AF 2-tone is a brand new skin, as it had never been created for the original release (2004-ish) The IDF/AF 3-tone late camo is a "rebuilt" skin, as the original had the wrong colors. All other skins have had a least some minor repainting. The Indian AF skin does =NOT= break the serials down into their respective squadrons, nor are there any squadron 'nose art' badges. Consider them generic in nature, although the serials are ALL historically correct.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
Mystere IVA (AJ)
So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. This will also diferentiate THIS one from the 3W Mysetere IVA that's stock in game. This includes NOT conflicting with the superb skin/ini pack that PauloPanz did some year back (reccomended!!!!). As stated above, this mod makes use of the STOCK 3rd Wire cockpit from it's MyIVA, but I've left in the originial F-86 cockpit (with some mods) and it's inis from 2004. It's also been updated to add any missing bits.
The template I made is also included. It's "medium rez", in 1024x. Make of it what you will.
As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included. The 'Change Log' is, of course, in the Notes section below.
Good Hunting & Happy Landings!

SF2 TMF Mirage 5F Pack       5/22/2024
Updated 5/24/24, v2.0
-For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested)
This is a NEW aircraft, based on an pre-existing TMF aircraft LOD, used to (re)create the Mirage 5F fighter-bomber as used by the French Air Force. To let you all know, no "official" 5F was ever created and relased by TMF. So, consider this an "un-official" version <gr>!
This mod is set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Mirage 5F available from within the game (Third Wire) or any others that may exist.  Skins remain in their original bmp format. Most markings are decals, with the exception of the AdA Rudder tri-color bands on the NMF skin. Decal Randomization is TRUE.  All necessary items are provided, serial number decals, weapons, pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth. Some, you've probably got already. If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed. The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero)
The aircraft is supplied with 2 skins for EC 3/13 Auvergne:
NMF (start date=1)
Euro Camo (<1975)
As indicated, the SF2 "date switch" is active.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
Mirage 5F (TMF)
So you can't mistake it for anything other than TMF Birds (tm). This will also diferentiate THIS one from the 3W 5F that's stock in game, but is AI only. On that note, the supplied cockpit (by BPAO & Crusader) was originally designed for use with the 3W AI Mirage 5F in 2017. For those wishing to do so, I've supplied the needed inis, and the instructional read-me. They are in a folder within the main aircraft folder. Ya can't miss it! <gr>.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included. The 'Change Log' is, as always, in the Notes section below.

SF2 TMF K'fir C1 & F-21A Lion Upgrade/Remod Pack       5/3/2024
-For SF2, Any and All-(SF2:I and/or Full 5 Merged Suggested)
This is a full upgrade/remod pack for The Mirage Factory's IAI K'fir C1 & F-21A Lion as used by the Israeli Defense Force Air Force, and the US Navy and US Marine Corps. The later two were used in dissimilar combat training as adversery aircraft (see Notes).

They are set up and labeled to cause =NO= conflicts with the Kfirs available as stock within the game or any others that may exist.  Skins remain in their original bmp format. National markings are painted on, and my (Patent Pending) fake insignia and SqTail decals are active (when needed), allowing the squadron's name & Nation Name to be displayed on the Loadout screen. Serial number Decal Randomization is TRUE. All serial numbers are 100% historically accurate for their various units (all 32 for the IDF).  All necessary items are provided, serial number decals, weapons (drop tanks), pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth. Some, you've probably got already. If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed.
The canards have been removed from the C1 through the use of the 'remove component trick'. The F-21A retains it's canards. For both models, the canopy operates with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The animation for the intake shock cones has also been corrected, thanks to Crusader.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
Kfir C1 (TMF)
and
F-21A Lion (C.1P) (TMF)
So you can't mistake them for anything other than TMF Birds (tm). Of course, this also removes confusion from the stock 3rd Wire Birds too (although the F-21A IS a DLC).

SF2 IAI Dagger (FAA) by The Mirage Factory Upgrade/Remod Pack       4/4/2024
-For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested)
This is a full upgrade/remod pack for The Mirage Factory's IAI Dagger as used by the Argentine Air Force (Fuerza Aérea Argentina or FAA).
Skins remain in their original bmp format.  All necessary items are provided, weapons, pilots, seats, sounds, effects, and so forth (most weapons used ARE stock 3W items, with few exceptions). This is a "nationalized" single-user only aircraft.

Camo with NO ID bands (original skin)
Camo with Blue ID Bands
Camo with Yellow ID Bands (both with a 1982 start date)
All skins use the same 'pool' of 39 ID/serial numbers. All serials are 100% hisorically accurate. As can be expected, the SF2 Date Switch (tm) is active, although the 2 Color Banded Birds (tm) both have the 1982 start date for use during the Falkland War (as best as my research could narrow down)  Also, the Date Switch is used on the Loadout ini, as newer missiles become available.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop-down you'll see:
Dagger (TMF)
So you can't mistake them for anything else but TMF Birds (tm). Also. this will diferentiate it from the Other Daggers available
