F-86 Sabre Pack, Pakistani Air Force
= For SF2, Any & All =
-An additon for the India-Pakistan Mod-
This package contains 2 complete aircaft mods of Sabres for the PAF:
F-86F, as delivered 1957 (in natural metal)
CL-13B Sabre 6 as "delivered" via Iran in the mid-1960s.
The Sabre 6 comes with 2 skins, Euro camo and overall green for No.18 Squadron. All serials
for both versions are 100% historically correct.
New skins for all were created using ravenclaw's beyond superb templates. All skins are in
jpg format. Decal randomization is true. New DDS damage textures are included, as are all new
SF2-style Hangar and Loading Screens. No weapons are supplied, other than the drop tanks, as
these use all stock in-game items.
An all new, SF2-compliant FM was created for these aircraft; it flys like it should!
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please READ
them! Also, the "Notes" section for a more detailed change/correction list.
Happy Landings!

OA-4M Skyhawk by triplethr3at/pappychksix/Fracture
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
** The Full-4/5 Merged is a requirement, as the A-7D_78 cockpit is referenced for the Mod
(SF2:E??).
If you don't have these minimum requirements, you shouldn't download this, as you
will not be able to use it.**
This is an overhaul of triplethr3at's SF2 USMC OA-4M Skyhawk FAC/Attack aircraft. All the
inis have been brought up to the latest (as of July, 2012) standard. Some modifications to
the avionics are existant more for 'playability' (meaning: it's far more capable then the
Real Life ™ aircraft).
Loadouts use all common or garden variety stock 3W weapons. It is set to fly all mission
profiles as any other standard Scooter (with the exception of carrier basing). Decal
randomizations is implemented, and all skin maps are jpg.
The avionics hump, while not fitting quite as nice as I would like, and the
'probe/antenna/blister combo kit' are attached via the Fake Pilot Method ™*
New damage textures (dds) and a new SF2-style hangar screen are included. Data ini
modifications using the 'Remove Component Trick**' eliminate the shadow tractor beams from
the outer pylons as seen on other mods using the TA-4J LOD.
The Threat Library also makes use of dtmdragons' extensively expanded list (not included). A
userlist is included, even though the aircraft has only one User (USMC). SF2NA style Carrier
statements are listed in the Data ini, but commented out; as I was unable to determine if
these ever were flown from The Boats.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So,
please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. More interesting and perhaps
vital info there, as well.
Triplethr3at's original readme is included for histerical purposes.
Happy Hunting!

IDF TA-4H Skyhawk by Fracture/Pappychksix 8/7/2001
=For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred)
** May (ok, probably) Requires SF2:V -hence the Full-4 Merged requirement-, as the A-4E_67 cockpit and avionics are referenced for the Mod. If you don't have these
minimum requirements, you shouldn't download this, as you may not be able to use it withOUT heavy editing **
This is a overhaul of Fracture/pappychksix' IDF TA-4H Skyhawk trainer/attack aircraft. All the inis have been brought up to the latest (as of July, 2011) standard. Some modifications to the avionics are more for 'playability', as research showed these most likely did not have an RWR (but knowing the Israelies....). The
standard NAV/Attack radar, yes. Loadouts use all common or garden variety stock weapons. It is set to fly all mission profiles as any other standard Scooter..
New damage textures (dds) and a new SF2-style hangar screen are included.
Please note, that like the TA-4J recently released, the very same shadow issues =WILL= be present, as it uses the TA-4J's lod. You'll just have to live with that (see Notes below)
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... Fracture's original readme is also included.

Douglas A4D-1 (A-4A) Skyhawk
- For SF2 (Any and All, but Full-4 Merged Prefered*) -
*Note: this makes use of the A-4B lods, that are stock in most installs (SF2 & SF2:V).These and the cockpit may not be available in un-mergerd, stand alone SF2:E and most definately not in SF2:I. Hence, the 'Full-4 Merged Prefered' tag.*
The decal sets are taken from the various 1stGen mods of the A-4A, and where necessary I've redone the skin bits, using SF2 A-4B skins to bring them to SF2 standards.
This package included 4 skin and decal sets:
VA-43 Challangers (Gitmo, 59)
VA-72 Bluehawks (1956)
VA-93 Blue Blazers (1956)
VMA-224 Bengals (MCAS El Toro, 1957)
The VA-72 is my original from (whenever); the others were done by some talented folk I've not be able to ID -- as I lost the original readmes (if any). So, the credit is theirs for those skins/decals. I just edited things to fit. Where needed, created new decals.
Decal randomization is set to TRUE, so make sure you're at least at the July 2011 patch level (or whichever one it is...).
Data ini edits remove the refueling probe. The inis included herein are the latest, as of the August 2011 patch. All loadouts are stock ala the A-4B. The canopy is activated via manual animation, use Shift/0 to open and close. The landing light has also been added.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... Of course, the usual "Notes" section. These will give you a nice mid-1950s collection of USN Light Strike aircraft for use in various "hot spots" of the time period.
Catch the 3 Wire!

NOTE:
with the release of the DLC A-4A, this mod became moot. However, the skins and decals can easily be adapted for use on that DLC.

Douglas AC-47 "Spooky" Gunship -Version 2.0
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged, Plus Expansion Pak 1 =
*Designed with SF2:V in mind*
*Note: You =MUST= have Expansion Pak 1 to access the C-47 lods. If you don't have it, do =NOT= download this mod, as you'll be unable to use it*
MANY modifications to the stock C-47 Skytrain, create the AC-47 "Spooky" gunship for your SouthEast Asian flying enjoyment.
A new skin, using my Home-Grown Template , and enhancements by paulopanz, give it a passble SEA 3-Tone. All markings are decals, and are 100% historically correct for the 3rd SOS. Markings for 18 aircraft are included, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
The miniguns are supplied as a weapon, but exist 'virtually' in the aircraft body (no physical lod). "Parachute" illuminator flares are also supplied for those pesky night interdiction missions.
An SF2 version of my original 'boxart' hangar screen is included.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
Also, PLEASE read the "Notes" section -- vital information in there that might assist you in playing this aircraft (pylon turns are a PAIN!!).
Good Hunting!

Veltro2K's Vautour IIB/N - Updated for SF2
------------------------------------------
This is an update of Veltro2K's Vautour IIB & IIN for Strike Fighters 2: Israel (SF2I). In the process of updating those aircraft (available at CombatAce in the SF1 Downloads section), I have also done my best to correct or mitigate these models' several anomalies: AI inability to taxi and takeoff correctly; AI aircraft exploding on the taxiway; AI problems handling the aircraft in flight; loadout errors; glaring white spots in the engine nacelles.
Notes: You will notice that AI aircraft still bounce around just a bit while taxiing, but they do now take off in timely fashion.
Thanks to Wrench for looking over an early version of this update and supplying some additional fixes and adjustments, as well as the F-86D cockpit for the IIN model.

Tu-22M3 Backfire-C for SF2
This mod package contains the Tu-22M3 from HoneyFox/Insky Group, updated and converted to SF2 standards. Included are all the effects, weapons, sounds, pilots, and seats that you will need to install and use the aircraft in this package.
This aircraft can be used in SF2, SF2E, SF2V, or SF2I. To install and use it, you should ensure that your SF2 installation is patched to at least the Dec2009 patch level. See below for installation instructions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
To install, simply drag the \Effects, \Flight, \Objects, and \Sounds folders to your SF2 Mods Folder (NOT the folder that the game installs to). By default your Mod Folder should be located here:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\ThirdWire\[Game]\
Windows Vista: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[Game]\
Windows 7: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[Game]\
...where [username] is the account you log into within Windows and [Game] is the name of the particular game mod folder that you're moving the files to. If the aircraft is not showing up in your Single Mission Aircraft menu, then you didn't install all the bits correctly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Notes About This Mod
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition to doing the basic work to convert the aircraft for use in SF2, I also made a number of other fixes and additions.
1. Fixed non-working tailgun
2. Fixed incorrect Afterburner.tga reference
3. Added referenced B-1B sounds from B-1B Redux package
4. Added correct version of Kh-22
5. Added damage texture
6. Added B-1B_86 cockpit (replaces C-130J cockpit in the original)
7. Adjusted attachment positions for several weapon stations
8. Changed Armor.Thickness and StructuralFactor values to more reasonable numbers
9. Added new dirty exhaust effect
10. Added new Hangar, Loading, & Loadout images
11. Added tail numbers to vertical tail
12. Other minor fixes/corrections
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Credits & Acknowledgements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This package largely consists of work done by others and released previously in other packages. All I did was assemble the package, update the bits to SF2 standards, and make a number of fixes, adjustments, and additions (discussed above).
