Modern Era (4Gen+) Aircraft

The is not the perfect F-15CJ_Kai.
 
This aircraft is base on the Stock F-15A SF2, you would need to have SF2 and/or Merged SF2 installed.
 
I have made a lot of tweaks on the plane. You can modify it to your own liking.
 
 
Thus, weapons and effects is not included, check download section for your preference.
 
Don't worry if you do not have the effects or weapons installed, the game will DEFAULT to SF2 Stock weapons for the specific time period.
 
 
 
Copy the content of the respect folders to your folder:
 
"Aircraft" to your "Object Aircraft folder."
 
"Decals", copy the entire decals folder content and paste it onto your decal folder. I was unable to use specific squadron
for decal folder, as it does not show up on the aircraft.
 
 
 
All of my skin has extensive logos on it... as the JASDF likes to change logos and decals often.
 
The lack of accuracy consist of:
 
-The feathers on the engine nozzle is still in place.
-The various antennas that is not shown or updated as per MSIP II and after.
-The larger bullet fairing on the left vertical stab. (should be the thin one).
-The speed brake position when deploy is not accurate (TK did not made the model to extend further).
-I was unable to have all the decals on the RIGHT "outter" vertical stab. and LEFT "inner" vertical stab. to face forward (toward the nose) as per actual aircraft. Two aircraft, the RIGHT "inner" logo is not facing forward.
-The skin pattern/color is not accurate, BUT the JASDF is notorious for having various skin patterns and decals at a drop of a hat... so I am not that much off.
 
-I'm sure you can find more but that is what is great about this game series... you can CREATE and CHANGE to your liking!
 
 
 
The file contain all of the current JASDF F-15CJ squadrons with the "EXCEPTION" of two skins.
 
The 1st Tactical Squadron and the Air Developemt and Test Command Squadron.
 
(Both squadron are provisional and aircrafts get rotated from active units or spare aircraft)
 
Oh, I added my own squadron "JASDF Shogun" (what if...)
 
 
The following are the Squadrons:
 
 
Hiko Kyoiku Kokutai (Tactical Fighter Training Squadron) Nyutabaru Air Base (RJFN).
 
23rd Hikotai (Squadron), 23Sq. replaced the 202Sq. in 2000 as the F-15 training unit.
 
Keikai Kokutai (Provisional Group) Nyutabaru Air Base (RJFN)
 
Hiko Kyodotai ("Aggressors")
 
2 Kokudan (Wing): Chitose Air Base (RJCJ), Part of the Northern Air Defence Force (HQ Misawa).
 
201 Hikotai
203 Hikotai
 
83 Kokutai (Group), Part of the Southwestern Composite Air Division (HQ Naha).
 
204 Hikotai (204Sq. swopped places with 302Sq. (F-4EJ_Kai) at the beginning of 2009 for better defense of the Southern flank).
 
 
6 Kokudan: Kanazawa/Komatsu Air Base (RJNK), Part of the Central Air Defence Force (HQ Iruma).
 
303 Hikotai
306 Hikotai
 
7 Kokudan: Hyakuti Air Base (RJAH), Part of the Central Air Defence Force (HQ Iruma).

Under WinXP is the destination in MyDocuments\ThirdWire...
 
History (from wiki):
The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer aircraft developed in Czechoslovakia to meet requirements for a "C-39" (C for cvi?ný – trainer) during the 1960s to replace the L-29 Delfín. It was the first of the second-generation jet trainers, and the first turbofan-powered trainer produced, and was later updated as the L-59 Super Albatros and as the L-139 (prototype L-39 with engine Garrett TFE731). The design is still produced in an evolved state as the L-159 ALCA, while more than 2,800 L-39s still serve with over 30 air forces around the world. The Albatros – the most widely used jet trainer in the world – is versatile, seeing duty in light-attack missions as well as in basic and advanced pilot training.

MigBuster - SF2 Knowledgebase conversion guide :D

Grumman’s F-14 Tomcat could be described as the Marilyn Monroe of aircraft designs. Both were at once beautiful and flawed, with indelible public images and yet often misunderstood and misrepresented. Both also met untimely ends. For many, the aircraft will always be remembered as the star of the hit 1986 movie Top Gun, but the Tomcat was a real weapon on the front lines of the Cold War, personifying the technological prowess and advanced production methods that the Soviet Union could not match, and which eventually drove them to break their economy in the attempt to keep up. For me personally, it will always be associated with the three years my family lived in Virginia Beach, near NAS Oceana, in the early 1980s. I vividly remember all of the jets that used to fly over our house—Skyhawks, Intruders, Phantoms and especially Tomcats. With their twin tails and swing-wings they had to be the coolest things in the air, and in retrospect I believe they really were. --c5
 
This aircraft is dedicated to our departed friend and Cheif of Production, Oli.

F-35 A/B/C for the 2nd Generation ThirdWire sims...beta Version 2.1.
 
Very similar to Version 2.0, reformatted to SF2 standards with Weapons, Guns, Decals.
 
Also, several bugs fixed in all 3 models, including nozzle animations, carrier operations, etc.
 
Please contact us at CombatAce if you have issues not addressed in the readme or previous releases.

Version 2.2
 
The weapon editor for SF2 did not like the naming convention for the F-35 drop tanks. So I changed the names, edited the data.inis and now they are fixed. Also there is an avionics fix in there that goes in each versions folder as well.
 
Delete the old drop tanks in your SF2 weapons folder and drop these in. Then drop the data.inis and the avionics.inis in each version of the F-35 and overwrite.
 
F-35C sound fixed.

This is an update to the SF2 conversion of Florian's Mirage 2000D started by pablitoVPT and EricJ. This is a complete aircraft. Main reason for this update is a new flight model for hard setting with some minor updated avionics and weapons/loadout. Currently flying it in a merged install SF2E, DEC 2009. Your mileage may vary with other SF2 titles/installs. See the readme for details.

This is a simple conversion of the F-16I SUFA for SF2 ISRAEL only. A cockpit is not included, it uses the stock F-16A Netz pit, if you have the know-how to add another pit, go for it. It's converted for SF2 Israel though, and not tested elsewhere. It's a drag and drop installation; see the readme for details.

Mirage 2000-5 BETA For SF2

Installation:
--------------------------------------------------
Simply extract the contents of the Mirage 2000-5 folder into your Mods\StrikeFighters2 folder.
 
Shift 1 will open and close the canopy.
 
 
This model uses the Gux's JAS-39C Gripen cockpit and avionics. The cross bar in the Gripen canopy has beem removed to provide a fully transparent canopy. Every effort has been made remove as much of the Beta aspect as possible, but some small issues still remain. The weapon positions on the pylons have been adjusted, the weapon stations have been tweaked to avoid model overlaps, and the weapon loadout has been changed to more closely reflect French and Greek Mirage 2000-E weapons capabilities.
The lighting positions and wheel rolling radius have been corrected. The leading edge slats are functional, and the flight model has been tweaked pretty extensively. A new Hangar Screen, Loading Screen and Loadout image are included.
 
TORNO's skins make this a very sexy beast. The FM is pretty sporty, and the plane flies and fights nicely. The real Mirage 2000-5 is a very competent multi-purpose fighter bomber, and this model does a pretty good job reflecting that heritage.
Take a look at the Mirage 2000 History.txt file for more detail on the Mirage 2000.
 
Enjoy, and good flying.

JH-7A Flounder For SF2
 
*******************************************************************************************************************
 
These from Wiki:
 
The Xian JH-7 (Jian Hong-7; NATO reporting name Flounder[1]), also known as the FBC-1 (Fighter/Bomber China-1) Flying Leopard, is a two-seater (tandem), twin-engine fighter-bomber in service with the People's Liberation Army Naval Air Force (PLANAF), and the People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF). The main contractors are Xian Aircraft Industry Corporation (XAC) and the 603nd Aircraft Design Institute,now named First Aircraft Institute of AVIC-1. The first batch of JH-7 aircraft were delivered to the PLANAF in the mid-1990s for evaluation, and the improved JH-7A variant entered service in 2004.

This is a very nice model of a modern Chinese attack aircraft. The original BETA release has been tuned to fix a few small issues. The Weapon Station attachment positions have been adjusted, the landing gear rolling radius has been tweaked, the engine fans rotate correctly, and the drag parachute works. This bird is nice to look at and brutally efficient at attack and shipping strikes. For any air-to-air work, the PL-8 heaters get the job done!
 
Shift 0 will open and close the canopy, and the drag parachute will deploy when the airbrakes are activated on the runway.

AMX-1 for SF2
 
This is Rafaels' AMX 2.0 and Miraclemans' AMX Nations Kit with updated file setup for SF2. It has been updated to SF2 file structure based on their work. The Nations Kit makes two seperate aircraft for the two nations flying the AMX, Italy and Brazil. I moved the three skins to the appropriate nation folders, so the Brazil skin is only used for the Brazilian AMX and the Italian skins for the Italian AMx and so forth. Only one skin uses a non-stock decal and that has had the proper folder added. I have also added the proper gun(s) and missile for each aircraft, 2 x 30mm and the MAA-1 Pirahna IRM for the Brazilian plane and a single 20mm vulcan for the Italian plane. The vector RWR has also been added to both planes.
I have re-done the hangar and loading screens to match the aircraft and its national air force; the AMI for the Italians and the FAB for the Brazilians. A userlist.ini has been added also.
Finally, both planes have chaff and flares added. There was little info on these components location and number but I found one photo of an AMX launching flares, one comment on a single website that mentioned 4 launchers, and another website comment that the flare loadout was 15 each launcher which I assume also applies to the chaff launchers. So I used that info to add what hopefully is a close approximation of the AMX chaff/flare capability. Hence, 4 launchers with 15 shots each for a total of 30 flares and 30 chaff.

**********************Chengdu J-10A Vigorous Dragon SF2*********************
 
 
Original for SF1 series came without the ReadME so I'll have to improvise a bit:
 
1. CREDITS
 
Original creators of this excellent mod for SF series are:
 
Insky group (www.Insky.cn)
 
101tfs
Erwin_Hans and others...
 
 
2. INSTALLATION
 
Just extract into your MOD folder, everything is thoroughly tested and 100% working!
 
 
 
3. A BIT ABOUT THIS VERY INTERESTING MACHINE(with help of wiki and other sources)
 
The J-10 is a multi-role combat aircraft capable of all-weather day/night operation.
J-10 was designed by the Chengdu Aircraft Design Institute (CADI), a subordinate research institute of Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation (CAIC).
 
J-10 is aerodynamically unstable design, a digital quadruplex-redundant fly-by-wire flight control system aids the pilot in flying the aircraft. It features a full glass cockpit and is equiped with three MFD's providing the information to the pilot.
On top of that Pilot is aided by helmet-mounted display (HMD) system, making J-10 and even more dangerous modern dogfighter!
 
As for the electronics, J-10 is equiped with internal ECM suite which can be supplemented by active jammer pods such as the BM/KG300G carried externally on the aircraft's hardpoints. Additionally, the KZ900 signals intelligence (SIGINT) pod can be carried for reconnaissance missions.
 
It also packs a Chineese designed and produced IRST "Type Hongguang-I" which has a maximum range of 75 km.
 
Radar info I was looking for was not quite detailed so all I found out was this:
 
"CAC revealed that the J-10 is equipped with an indigenous fire-control radar featuring a mechanically slewed planar array antenna, capable of tracking 10 targets and engaging 2 (using semi-active radar-homing AAM) or 4 (using active radar-homing AAM) of them simultaneously. Possibly based on Russian or Israeli technologies, the radar is believed to be comparable to the early 1990s-era Western fighter radar designs. Alternatively the J-10 could be fitted with a range of fire-control radar introduced by Russian, Israeli, and European manufacturers on its export variant."
 
The engine J-10A is currently using is Lyulka-Saturn AL-31FN, it's pretty much the same thing as AL-31F only while F is meant for two engine use, FN is specifically set for single engine usage.
Later it is suspected that J-10 will use domestic WS-10A (WoShan-10A) Taihang turbofan engine giving a thrust of 129 kN
 
The aircraft's internal armament consists of a 23 mm twin-barrel cannon, located underneath the port side of the intake. Other weaponry and equipment is mounted externally on 11 hardpoints, to which around 4,500 kg (9,900 lb) of weaponry such as missiles and bombs, drop-tanks containing fuel and other equipment such as avionics pods can be attached.
 
A2A missiles:
 
PL-8 - basically this is Israeli Python3 missile so don't count on having it easy in combat with it especially since J-10A is highly manouverable
 
PL-11 - SAHM basically a copy of Italian ASPIDE missile which is in turn a version of AIM-7
 
PL-12 - a very nasty AHM missile comparable to AIM-120 and R-77
