This is an update for Dave & Sundowners Tornado GR1/GR4 pack available here - http://combatace.com/files/file/12320-tornado-gr1gr4-for-sf2/
 
After the initial release I continued to plug away at the minor issues left over that my OCD wouldn't let go of! The bulk of this update is new and/or improved weapons released recently which include both my work and the stunning weapons that Ravenclaw007 made. The rest is things that are so minor that they would probably go un-noticed by most but they bugged me.
 
The only issue left that I can see is the lack of correct Decal's for the GR4. I'll be honest and say I haven't a clue about decals but here's some info which may help those who are knowledgable about them - The GR4 should have 2 decals, a 3 number "fleet" code on the tail fin (007 for example) and a 2 number/3 digit Tail code on the fuselage behind the flaps (ZA123 for example). The Fleet number and Tail number are not the same so ZA123 may have a Fleet number of 007 etc.

Installation
-----------
 
Simply copy and paste into your Mod folder (usually C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 etc) and allow it to over-write. Tested on a Nov '11 patched Full Merged and SF2:Europe Only.
 
 
Optional Folder
--------------
 
In here is a modified VIEWLIST.ini which only changes the stock weapons view to a free cam allowing you a full 360' control of the camera so that you can see the weapons better. All other views are stock. If you want to try it then 1st backup your original viewlist.ini and then copy/paste the new one into the Flight Folder.

Typhoon beta for SF2 series....
 
These folders go into the relevant directories in the C:/users/xxx/saved
 
games/ThirdWire........
 
This is very very beta at the moment so bare that in mind before asking
 
too many questions or complaining :)
 
I have released this for some community evaluation and to get some
 
general help with tweaking, give it a go and see what you think.
 
it has a 'what if' 74 squadron tigers skin for now and is using my
 
original pit from the first typhoon, also the HUD symbology has 2 shades
 
of green...this is from some testing I did and I havent bothered to
 
revert to just 1 shade so it's not a bug, the HUD is formatted to the WIP
 
pit so it will overlap the current one.
 
still WIP is a brand new pit which will use the new eye candy like bump
 
and specular.....
 
enjoy

The Mirage Factory MiG-29 Fulcrum Mod.
 
This one is also a work in progress mod and yes there will be modern variants in this package later. This project was started by bpao and the Mirage Factory a few years ago for SF1. however never complemented with more modern version, due to his untimely death.
 
To install drop into your SF2 folder and allow it to overwrite folder names.
 
In this pack there are many MiG-29 Fulcrum-A Variants a few MiG-29S Fulcrum-C, The MiG-29N early and late(with Refuelprobe).
 
this pack is not perfect and will be updated.
 
I´ve to thank many persons for Help and permission to use there stuff.
-TMF for the model and the hardwork done for SF1
-German Modder Group for awnsering stupid noob questions
-Soulfreak for the Paran & Norm 90 skin
-Ace888 for the TUDM Skins
-ravenclaw_007 for the refuel probe and the wingtanks
-Spillon104 for the afterburners
-Strelac024 for the YuAF Skin
-czarny900 for the polish AF Skins
-and all the others i forgot

An upgraded version of Bobrock and Dave's Harrier GR7 for SF2, to commemorate Joint Force Harrier and the fleet of GR9 aircraft, sadly withdrawn from UK service and sold to the US for spare parts.
 
It includes an ugraded weapons capability, upgraded avionic systems and re-painted aircraft and cockpit to resemble (as close as possible) the real Harrier GR9 and the Joint Force Harrier Squadrons and paint schemes (Hi-res skin templates are also in the folder).
 
Installation Instructions:
 
Download and install Bobrocks Harrier GR7; this adds all the necessary components for the GR9 to work.
 
Unzip and copy and paste the folders in the 'Joint Force Harrier GR9' folder into your mods folder overwriting where necessary.
 
Add the Squadrons listed in the 'Add To SQUADRONLIST.txt' file to the squadronlist.ini in your 'pilotdata folder'.
 
You also need to have following weapons installed:
 
Maverick
Brimstone (& Brimstone3pack)
Tiald included with Bobrocks Harrier GR7
RAF Weapons Pack/Modern RAF Smart bombs.
 
Feel free to modify the HarrierGr9_Loadout.ini and the 'StationGroupID' in the HarrierGr9_DATA.ini to change the selectable weapon stations in the loadout screen and default weapon types.
 
Thanks go to:
 
Bobrock & Dave for the original Harrier GR7
AleDucat for the ejection seat (Martin-Baker Mk.12 for the Harrier GR9 is a repaint of his Martin-Baker Mk.10L).
All those who posted in the Combatace forum where I learned so much.
 
This is my first uploaded project; tested and works in my merged SF2 install, the Hi-res skins work best with graphics detail option set to 'unlimited'.
 
Enjoy.

I've decided to release this "as is" otherwise it'll sit on my hard drive for ever, hopefully you'll enjoy it.
 
Contains updated model,all new skins, avionics,FM etc.
 
Please read the readme, it's for your benifit not mine..
 
Templates may follow at a later date if needed.

145th SQ (also added for fun)
 
311th TFTS (Squadron at Luke AF to train the pilots, very short live)

The files above represented the F-16AM Blk20 for the ROCAF, F-16A Blk15 OCU for the RSAF, F-16A_ADF for the RTAF, and F-16A Blk15OCU for the TNI-AU.
 
Due to the "fake pilot" mode, you will see the IFF blade on all Blk15 OCU by RSAF and TNI-AU when there shouldn't be... But who cares, it looks good :)
 
As always, great care is taken to insure proper skin, decal-type/size/position and color when possible.
 
Any modification that is not fully represented to the actual aircraft is made to improve the looks of the skin rather then to downgrade the quality of the actual aircraft skin and decals, or simply it is beyond my ability.
 
I DID NOT upload the pilot, effects, and weapons because of three things:
 
1. If you have been with the commuty for a long time, I assume you have it all and will modify it to your own liking.
2. If you are new to the community, then you have a lot to read and upload to get the full impact of the wonderful work that many have contributed.
3. I am too lazy to do it for you...
