SF2 MiG-23 & MiG-27 Floggers - Part 2
This mod supplies a collection of MiG-23 & MiG-27 Floggers, created by ArmourDave and The Mirage Factory, and heavily modded by Lindr2 for SFP1. (These are not mods of the 3rdWire Floggers supplied in the SF2 titles.) All have been converted and updated to SF2 standards. Also included with this mod are all the weapons, sounds, pilots, and seats that you will need to install and use any of the aircraft supplied with this mod.
This mod consists of three parts:
Part 1: 1st Generation MiG-23s (MiG-23S, Mig-23M, MiG-23ME, MiG-23MF,
MiG-23MF, MiG-23UB)
Part 2: 2nd Generation MiG-23s (MiG-23ML, MiG-23MLA, MiG-23MLAE, MiG-23P,
MiG-23PD, MiG-23-98, MiG-23UM)
Part 3: Ground Attack MiG-23s (MiG-23B, MiG-23BN) & MiG-27s (MiG-27,
MiG-27D, MiG-27K, MiG-27M, MiG-27ML)
Each of the three parts includes all the decals, pilots, sounds, effects that you will need for the aircraft in that part. This is the second part. The WEAPONS are contained ONLY IN THIS PART -- THE 2ND PART.
These aircraft can be used in SF2, SF2E, SF2V, or SF2I. To install and use them, you should ensure that your SF2 installation is patched to at least the Dec2009 patch level. See below for installation instructions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please note that installation of these aircraft will overwrite & replace the default 3rdWire versions included in the various SF2 titles. I recommend that you first REMOVE the 3rdWire MiG-23 and MiG-27 versions - even if you haven't modded them -- before installing these alternate versions.
To install, simply drag the following folders to your SF2 Mods Folder (NOT the folder that the game installs to):
\Effects
\Flight
\Objects
\Sounds
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 are not showing up in your Single Mission Aircraft menu, then you didn't install all the bits correctly. And remember, the WEAPONS are contained ONLY IN THE 2ND PART, which means that you MUST DOWNLOAD THE 2ND PART TO GET THE WEAPONS.

A Few Notes About This Mod
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Those familiar with Lindr2's Flogger packages for SFP1 will rightly recognize that this updated mod builds on his earlier efforts. Although I have largely followed Lindr2's lead in assembling this package, there are some noteworthy differences between his SFP1 collections and this one:
1) Different Engine Sounds & Afterburner TGAs
I have used different engine sounds and afterburner TGAs to give the various engines used by different models distinct sounds and appearances.
2) NATO Code Names
The aircraft names do include the NATO code names, whereas Lindr2's SFP1 versions did not use them at all. Also, the Air-to-Air weapons use both NATO and Soviet names/designations (e.g., "R-73 AA-11 Archer").
3) Wider range of Skins/Nations
You will find a wider range of skins used to represent more nations, drawing on the various one-off skins that have been released by other modders.

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 minor adjustments and tweaks here and there (discussed above).

The Scandinavian Front J 35 Draken Flygvapnet Package
By Team TSF & Friends
The Saab 35 Draken (English: "Kite") was a Swedish fighter aircraft manufactured by Saab between 1955 and 1974. The Draken was built to replace the Saab J 29 Tunnan and, later, the fighter variant (J 32B) of the Saab 32 Lansen. The indigenous J 35 was an effective supersonic Cold War fighter that was also successfully exported to Austria, Denmark and Finland.
Please note:
We lack a proper "Early" Draken Model, and as such, the A/B versions are incorrect and use the same 3D Model as the 35D/F/J versions.
If you already have the TSF Mega Package, you will only find minor edits, weapons as well as the J 35J to be new to this package. Hence, it is worth grabbing.

Canberra B(I) mk8 for the "Strike Fighters 2" Series
by Ahmed Junaid Raza
Special thanks to "Spinners" for tweaking the 3D model to be more like the real Canberra - didn't realise they were so out!
Updated for SF 2 series by MigBuster and Spinners (July 2009)
Temp Gunpack by Wrench (July 2009)
The B(I) mk8 was derived from the B(I)mk6 and retains the same Engines, fuel load and loadout. The main change was a redesigned nose and offset fighter style canopy - which was put in place due to the targetting difficulties of the B.mk2 fishbowl style canopy.
The B.1 Mk8 Interdictor came into service in 1956 with around 69 being built. Other Later variants also used the offset Fighter style canopy.

B.2 Cockpit with bombardier view by Daniel "Kessselbrut" Himmel
Special thanks to "Spinners" for tweaking the 3D model to be more like the real Canberra - didn't realise they were so out!
Updated for SF 2 series by MigBuster and Spinners (July 2009)
The B.mk20 was licence built B.mk2 by the Government Aircraft Factories, Melbourne, Australia. It featured an increased fuel capacity thanks to wing fuel tanks and outer wing pylons were also added.
The B.mk20 was used by the Australian RAAF between around 1966 and 1971 in conflict during the Vietnam war as part of the US 35th TFW.
The version in this pack is the later model with the Avon 109 engines and has outer wing pylons according to pictures ive seen. It is also mentioned that the RAAF could use wingtip racks for extra bombs though not too sure on that.
