What If Hangar

Fictional mod of the stock F-4E_78 to make it look like a fictional fighter plane for the malaysian air force.

YOU WILL NEED SF2:E AT LEAST TO GET THIS PLANE RUNNING!

BACKGROUND

In order to replace the F-5 Tiger in the malaysian air force, but without investing huge amounts of money, the government of Malaysia bought F-4Es from Turkey, which wanted to replace them with more F-16D Block 52+

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Drop the folders into your Objects folder. If asked to overwrite, click yes.

CREDITS

Big Thanks to Thirdwire for the games and the superb models they have.

The tiger tribal for the tailart was created by ~Snake-Doc from Deviant-Art. So the credit for that goes to him.
Also to Sundowner for the great templates!

[Fictional] Wright F4W-1 'Hurricane'

By Spinners

Wright Aeronautical F4W-1 'Hurricane' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2

This is the Hawker Hurricane as it might of appeared as the licence-built Wright F4W-1 in USN service (if that service could have overcome their fear of inline engines).

This mod uses the superb Sea Hurricane 1C 3D model by Raven who has also generously uploaded templates to enable me to create this fictional mod and to also allow others to put whatever scheme and markings they prefer on this lovely and often overshadowed British fighter aircraft.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F4W-1 folder into your Aircraft folder.

2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F4W-1 folder into your main Decals folder.

CREDITS

Thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.

Massive thanks to Raven for creating the Hurricane series and templates.

And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Regards

SF2 F-19 "Ghostrider" (aka Flying Frisbee) Upgrade Pak

By Wrench

F-19 "Ghostrider" (aka "Flying Frisbee) Upgrade Pak for SF2

REQUIRES a Full-4 Merged, -or at minimum- SF2:E and/or SF2:I

Warning/Disclaimer: As stated above, this is designed for a Full-4 Merged install of SF2. This is because I made use of MANY stock items, in particular the cockpit from the F-15A in SF2:E. You may be able to use the F-15A Baz from SF2:I as they use the same cockpit lods; this has =NOT= been tested, as I have a Full-4 Merged, and it accesses pretty much everything. You are encourged to test this on your own. As the avionics/cockpit inis are supplied, all you need is the cockpit LOD they're pointing to (and, of course, all the bmps/tgas for the interior bits and HUD/Radars, which are stored in the various ObjectData cats.)

-------------------

This is an upgrade/modification of Julhelm's F-19 "Ghostrider" Stealth Strike Fighter. It has gone through several tweeks to enhance weapons carriage, weapons types, some minor reskinning and the addition of new serial number decals. 50 serial Decals are supplied, for both skins (ie: the same ones used twice, but the 9th TFS has been repainted a darker gray to match the original lettering, and it also gets a new tail code decal). Lighting has been enhanced, with the addition of landing lights, 'rotary' strobe beacons and the missing tail lights re-added. Additional armor protection has been added to 'vital' areas. Engine sounds have been enhanced by (re)using the F-15 engine sounds from the F-15 Super Pak. A revamped, SF2-style version of my original 'artwork'hangar screen is included, as well as new paint chips with the 2 squadron patchs for skin selection.

No changes have been effected to the Flight Model or RCS modifiers. As much as possible, I've tried to stick with 'stock' weapons, but it =IS= reccomended that you have Gunny's Ordanance Shop installed for the Mavericks and the late-model LGBs & CBUs. These weapons are =NOT= included!! A-A loadouts are restricted to IRMs =ONLY= (as stated in "Red Storm Rising"). See "Notes" below for more on weapons. Other targeting enhancments include the addition of a permanant on-board laser designator and Electo-Optical viewer (read: FLIR/LLTV). The auto-speed canopy has been changed to a manual animation key, use shift/0 to open and close it. A seat has been added for the pilot to 'park it' on.

As always, fully detailed install instruction are below. And, as always, it's suggested you read them through before installing this mod.

Good Hunting!

Yak-3RD Mixed Propulsion Fighter by Pasko

By Wrench

Yakovlev Yak-3RD "What If..." Mixed-Propulsion Fighter by Pakso
= For SF2, Any & All versions (Full-4 Merged Prefered*) =

*Note: Full-4 merged prefered tag is because some decals used are referenced from SF2:I*

Modifications, tweeks, FM enhancements, and so forth to Pakso's Prop/Rocket fighter.
This makes the assumption (oh! that word!) the 3RD was put into serial production, instead of the just the 2 prototypes that were historically built. As was the original release, it is "As Is" with all the flaws and warts and etc. See the "Notes" section for more details.
This package replaces the one I uploaded some long time back at CombatAce.

As expected, the canopy opens/closes via manual animation keystroke -the (in)famous Shift/0.
No weapons or guns are supplied with this pak; they are the same ones included in the Yak-9U pak recently released, and should be available in Gunny's Weapons Pak.

It also should be noted, the Mission Profiles that can be flown have been limited to A-A: CAP, Intercept (due to expected range limitations), and Recon just for fun (with drop tanks).

All new skins, from new Home-Grown Templates in 1024x are supplied. One is Natural Metal, and other is overall Medium Gray. See the "Notes" section regarding the 2-tone Gray camo supplied, but not activated (severe LOD mapping issues)

As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read for further information and stuff like that there. For historical purposes, Pasko's original readme is included.
This will give a (relatively) decent "What If..." for WW2 and the Post-War period; the Beginning of the Cold War, hence it location in the "What If Hangar".

A-16A 'Attack Falcon'

By Wrench

A-16A 'Attack Falcon'

-- For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Prefered) and/or SF2:I ONLY!!! --

As stated above, you =MUST= have a Full-4 Merged install, or at the VERY LEAST SF2:I to make use of this mod package, as it references all stock items for the aircraft and cockpit lods that are ONLY found in SF2:I or Full-4 Merged game installs. If you have neither of these, don't download this, as you'll not be able to use it.

This is a modification of the F-16 Netz into the proposed A-16A 'Attack Falcon', a specalized ground support aircraft intended to replace the A-10 Thunderbolt II. Those wishing more infromation on it, are encouraged to Google it, and also look at F-16.net.

The aircraft has been completely reskinned in 3-tone Euro 1, from a new home-grown template. Markings represent those based a Nellis AFB, Nevada (for weapons testing and integration). All basic inis, skins and decals are included, as is new green painted version of the AIM-9P Sidwinder (just for this mod/skin pak). All markings are decals, with the exception of the Nellis tail stripe. Serial numbers are spurious; taken from another source.

In the Loadout ini, several alternate loadouts are listed. These can be accessed from the 3rdWire mission editor screen (for post-Expansion Pak 2 users). With the exception of the green 9P winder, all loadouts use stock items.

As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install. Also, as usual, the expected 'Notes and Other Nonesense' comments by me. Any and all inaccuracies are mine, as we only have the Netz to work from

A-12 'Avenger II' by Rhugouvi (for SF2)

By Wrench

A-12 'Avenger II' by Rhugouvi
=For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred)

This is an upgrade package for the Beta A-12 that's been around for several years, with tweeks to bring it more in line with SF2.

This package contains 2 skins for the A-12, one each for Atlantic & Pacific Fleets (cause I don't want to show favoritism either way). They are:

VFA-105 "Gunslingers"
VFA-192 "Golden Dragons" (The World Famous Golden Dragons)

All markings are decals.

As this is a Low-Observabale Strike aircraft, with a secondary CAP role, there is no internal gun. However, for those mission profiles that don't require the greatest of stealth (CAS/Armed Recon, Anti-ship & CAP), a 'mission specific' gunpod is included/available with a 30mm GAU-13 cannon, similiar to how it's done for the F-35 JSF. It's suggested you have the GunnyPak installed for the various modern/post-modern prescision strike munitions.

All the sounds are also provided, as are new SF2 style hangar and loading screens. The wingfold works (use the Shift/9 key), but the canopy does not. Running light positions have been adjusted, and they follow the wings when folding.

As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... There are 'Operational Usage Helps' that might be quite usefull in a pinch. Rhugouvi's original readme is also included (in French). With thanks to TMF via Sony Tuckson for use of the F/A-18 Hornet cockpit & avionics.

Happy Landings!

SF2 F-111B "Dominator"

By Wrench

GD F-111B Dominator, Fleet Defense Fighter

= For SF2, Any and All =

A "What If..." for your enjoyment.

A full(ish) SF2 upgrade pack for the F-111B Fleet Defender, assuming it had reached serial production and entered Fleet service in multi-squadron strength.

This pack contains 2 skins; one East Coast and one West Coast Squadron:

VF-84 "Jolly Rogers", USS Roosevelt (including CAG markings on #100 Bird)
VF-161 "Chargers", USS Coral Sea

"Accurate" BuNums, extrapolated from the protypes, reflect production versions. All markings are decals. Decal randomization is set to "TRUE".
All needed weapons (excepting the Sidewinders and Sparrows -which use stock in-game items-) are supplied. The AIM-54 supplied herein will NOT conflict with any others, stock or add-on.
New, SF2 versions of the hangar and loading screen are supplied. The aircraft is fully carrier rated, and the data ini incorprates the 'parked' wingspread statements for use in SF2NA or Post-April 2012 patch levels. Canopy animation is controled via manual animation keystroke, the Usual Susped , Shift/0.

As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them! The Notes section contains further details, descriptions, elightenments, illuminations, and so forth. Be good to read them, too.

Happy Landings!

[Fictional] McDonnell Douglas C-12C (F-4E)

Simple mod the stock F-4E_78 to make it look like a fictional
fighter plane for the spanish air force.

YOU WILL NEED SF2:E AT LEAST TO GET THIS PLANE RUNNING!

BACKGROUND
The spanish air force was thinking of replacing their F-4C-Fleet
with F-4E for some considerable reasons:

- The lack of a gun in combat would often be a problem once all
missiles are fired or the enemy got to close to use them
- Using a gunpod under the fuselage would reduce either firepower
(due to the lack of one pylon for bombs etc.) or range (same, but
for fuel-tank)

Carter's administration took the F-4Cs back, converting them into
QF-4C Drones for weapon testing and delivered two entire squadrons of F-4E. The first squadron, the 121st, received their planes in 1979
displaying the SEA camo. The 122nd received their planes six
months later, in 1980, featuring the two-tone grey camo.

The planes received the designation "C-12C", while the "C" stands
for "cañon" - spanish for cannon, referring this way to the chin-mounted gun.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Drop the folders into your Objects folder. If asked to
overwrite, click yes.

CREDITS

Thanks to Wrench and Dr.Doyo for the two-tone grey camo. And to
Stratos for the inspiration.

Big Thanks to Thirdwire for the games and the superb models they
have.

[Fictional] Thai F-4E and F-4J Phantom II

Fictional mod of the stock F-4E_78 and F-4J to make them look like fictional fighter planes for both Royal Thai Air Force and Royal Thai Navy Air Arm.

YOU WILL NEED SF2:V and SF2:E AT LEAST TO GET THIS PLANE RUNNING!

BACKGROUND

During the Vietnam War, thai troops assisted the US against the Viet Cong, losing more than 1,000 men in the fights. During the many battles in Vietnam, thai soldiers experienced the tremendous power of the US Air Force and Navy aircraft.
Especially the F-4 Phantom with her J79-Engines roaring over the battlefields received a special respect from the troops.

But not only in Vietnam, also in Thailand itself, where many sorties of the US Army and special forces were initiated from, the Phantom was an impressive and formidable apparition.

As for being an important partner, especially in black op matters, the Pentagon granted Thailand the permission to purchase some F-4Js for their Navy, which were of great use during the hasty evacuation of Saigon in 1975, protecting escaping vessels and aircraft against potential threat from northvietnamese armed forces. As reward for their unconditional aid and sacrifice during the War, the Pentagon allowed the selling of 17 previously cancelled F-4E Phantom II (Serials 75-0638 - 75-0655)
to Thailand at a much lower price than eventually stated at the contract.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Drop the folders into your Objects folder. If asked to overwrite, click yes.

RAF Kestrel GR1 & GR3 Pack by Cocas - V2.0

By ianh755

************************ Royal Air Force Kestrel GR1/3 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 V2.0 ************************

Due to technical internet issues Cocas has asked me to release this for him as he's unable - This is the V2.0 update of Cocas and Spinners fantastic "Sea Kestrel" pack and is a fairly comprehensive overhaul of the original pack with almost everything either new or improved! This pack includes all the Effects, Weapons and Sounds required to run on a standalone setup but it has only been tested on an Full 5 Merged setup.

Installation
-------------

Unzip then copy and paste the Effects/Flight/Objects/Sounds folders into your Mod folder (usually C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 **or whatever yours is called**).

AIRCRAFT
------------

Aircraft Specific Info -
----------------------

Kestrel GR1 ('87 - '05) - Designed for the RAF as a purely ground attack aircraft alongside the the Royal Navy's Sea Kestrel FRS.1 it had the Radar removed and had the new Angle Rate Bombing System (ARBS) fitted instead but was otherwise virtually identical in performance. The 4 RAF Squadrons equipped with the GR1 were given different paint jobs to reflect their different areas of speciality with 1F & 20R Sqns painted Green for Central Europe, 3F Sqn painted in White/Green winter camo for Northern Europe and 4F Sqn in Desert sand for the middle East.

Kestrel GR3 ('06 - '20) - This massive upgrade saw everything from the engine to weapons to the avionics all hugely upgraded, especially the weapons. It included a new Nose mounted FLIR camera with RWR and the ability to carry the more advanced weapons that the RAF had developed. All 4 Sqns returned to a Grey paint job for the GR3.

OTHER INFO
-----------

Issues -
------

ARBS - I've tried to be tricky here and made the ARBS system a laser designator but with no range. You'll need to fit some LGB's to see it working but if you want to actually drop LGB's then you'll need to add a separate Laser Pod to do the guiding. It does look pretty cool though!

Hovering is quite difficult at 1st. With a fuel weight of under 25% and no weapons you can hover at around 55% thrust but without a working Nozzle gauge it's difficult to tell where your nozzles are pointing, especially as the 3D model nozzles stop moving at only 40' visually! My recommendation is to apply fully forward nozzles (98.5') and then slowly move it backwards until the engine exhaust dirt looks like it's pointing at 90' but it's not ideal (see Alternate Cockpit below).

The mapping is "interesting" in some places with stretching, especially on the 2 Booms. The 3F skin (winter Camo) was really tricky, so much so that I wanted to punch a thousand cute kittens by the end after spending hours/days trying to get the edges to match up! So sadly it's not as good as I'd like but the PS templates are out to so hopefully you can improve on my skin.

*******If you find any issues or find that I've got something wrong please contact me on CombatAce - http://combatace.com/user/64030-ianh755/ *******************

-------------------------------------------------
Alternate Cockpit Usage (for Advanced Users only) -
-------------------------------------------------

Included in this pack is Bobrocks fantastic Harrier AV-8B cockpit which, as it includes important Nozzle info, makes hovering much easier. However the Cockpit is more limited in comparison to the Kestrel (F-23/29) version so, if you're not bothered about trying to hover that much, I'd stick to the original Cockpit. Installation is simply dropping the Cockpit folder with it's 2 ini's into your A/C and altering the aircraftname.ini to point to the 2 new ini's. I'd make a backup before you though just to be safe! Please use at your own risk, if you don't know how to alter ini files then please don't attempt to install the new cockpit in case you break something!

THANKS
--------

Massive thanks to Cocas for creating the 3D model and patiently modifying it everytime I asked for any/every crazy little thing!

Spinner for his fantastic work with the original Pack.

Dels for creating his superb F-23/F-29 cockpit used here with his kind permission.

Sea Kestrel FRS.1 ('88 - '05) - Designed for the Royal Navy as a Fleet Defence Fighter with a secondary ground attack role.

[Fictional] North American C-4 (P-51D) Cimarrón for SF2

Fictional Mod of the stock P-51D modifying it to a former fighter plane from the spanish air force.

YOU WILL NEED SF2:I with Exp.1 AT LEAST TO GET THIS PLANE RUNNING!

BACKGROUND
After the end of WWII, Spain needed to build up an air force to protect itself from foreign aggressors.
The spanish aircraft manufacturer Hispano Aviación, who possessed the license for the Messerschmitt Me-109, was forced to sell the license to the US or otherwise, among other reasons, Spain would have suffered from an embargo, which the country could have never survived. Since Spain was a former ally of Nazi Germany, the US was interested in all kinds of technology Spain gathered from the Third Reich.

Spain, as a kind of compensation, received former planes from the USAF stationed in Germany. Among them were 48 P-51D Mustangs. The planes arrived by train, most of them in rather bad condition. Most of the planes got repaired, but 10 of them had to be scrapped, taking out still usable parts, and 14 more were stored as replacements for potential losses. 24 entered service in the Ala 7 and did service from 1948 until 1955.

[Fictional] Mirage 2000BE (CB.27) "Espada" (Sword)

A Mod of the Mirage 2000B from Amokfloo and JAT81500 to make it look like a fictional fighter for the spanish air force.

BACKGROUND
According to EESP (European Economic Stability Protocol) signed in the middle of 2012 in Brussels by the 27 partners of the EU, the countries with a high rate of debt (Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal etc.) had to execute all measures necessary in order to reduce their debts. In article 12 "About the defense of the homeland", the countries of the EU constituted that all redundant units had to be dissolved and the equipment to be sold.

Furthermore, the armies of the affected countries had to change their "non-european" equipment for european equipment. Spain had therefore to sell their US fighterplanes and replace them by european ones. In exchange, the equipment will be cheaper than for standard customers from outside the EU.

The F-18Cs got sold back to the US. The mayor manufacturers of fighters in Europe were Dassault, Saab and the Eurofighter Corporation. The spanish air force decided to order the Mirage 2000 for the Ala 46, stationed on the Canary Islands. Two wings were equipped with the Mirage 2000-5F, renamed E (local designation: C-27) and one wing received the Mirage 2000B, renamed BE (local designation: CB-27)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Drop the folders into your MODS Folder. If asked to overwrite, click yes.

ORIGINAL CREDITS

3D model: Amokfloo, reworked by JAT81500.
Templates: Amokfloo.
Cockpit, pilots and fuel tanks: The Mirage Factory.

[Fictional] SAAB JAS39H Grypas (Griffon)

This is a mod of the JAS-39C from the Gripen Team to make it look like a fighterplane from the greek hellenic air force.

BACKGROUND:
According to EESP (European Economic Stability Protocol) signed in the middle of 2012 in Brussels by the 27 partners of the EU, the countries with a high rate of debt (Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal etc.) had to execute all measures necessary in order to reduce their debts. In article 12 "About the defense of the homeland", the countries of the EU constituted that all redundant units had to be dissolved and the equipment to be sold.

Furthermore, the armies of the affected countries had to change their "non-european" equipment for european equipment. Greece had therefore to sell their US fighterplanes and replace them by european ones. In exchange, the equipment will be cheaper than for standard customers from outside the EU.

The F-16s got sold to Israel and Turkey. The mayor manufacturers of fighters in Europe were Dassault, Saab and the Eurofighter Corporation. The hellenic air force decided to order the Typhoon for two of their Squadrons and the Gripen for another three squadrons. For the remaining squadrons, the ministry of defense had not declared a decision if either buy more Mirage 2000 or get some Rafales.

The first Gripens arrived at the end of 2012 and did directly enter service in the 330th, 341st and 347th Moira. All planes display the new SGD-Camo (Spartan Ghost Digital)

[Fictional] SAAB/IAI JAS39I Kherev (Sword)

This is a mod of the JAS-39C from the Gripen Team to make it look like fighterplane for the israeli air force.

BACKGROUND:
Israel, although not being part of the european community (not even being on the european continent) was almost always treated like being an european country. After the EESP-signment, Israel offered Italy and Greece to replace their Vipers with Barak- and Sufa-Versions from IAI. In exchange and tying in with the cooperation concerning the Chez (israeli Draken), the IDF wanted the Gripen as a replacement for their aged Ahit.

The EU was ok with that treaty and allowed Italy to exchange their planes. Greece refused and decided in favor of the Gripen and the EF-2000 Typhoon. At the end of 2012, Israeli received their ordered planes and named them 'Kherev' (Sword). From the 72 ordered planes, 16 were two-seaters.

The Kherev was the first plane in the IDF to receive a digital camo.

[Fictional] Boeing/Mitsubishi F/A-18M & F/A-18M2 Super Hornet for the JMSDF

This is a mod of the Super Hornets E & F from EricJ to make them look like fighter planes from the japanese maritime self defense force.

BACKGROUND:
The JMSDFs new carrier, the Shinano, which does service in the surroundings of the japanese homeland, was equipped with F-14EJs. In 1999, the 81st Hikotai stationed on the carrier was reinforced with two additional hikotais, the 23rd and the 31st. The JMSDF obtained the Hornet at the same time as the JASDF. Under the designation F/A-18M and F/A-18M2, the F/A-18M2 replaced the F-14EJs of the 23rd and 31st Hikotai while the F/A-18M got designated to two new hikotais, the 3rd and 14th. At the same time, the JMSDF started introducing a new system of serial numbers adjusted to the new ship type.

Instead of the standard four-digit serial number system, the planes and helos of the carrier received a new system consisting of the jap. abbreviation for aircraft carrier (kubo), the hikotai number and finally the plane number.

Also, as a part of the new system, the fuselage wears the designation and the name of the vessel the plane is stationed on; just like in the US Navy.

The Shinano was declared DCV (defender carrier vessel) because the aircraft carrier was an offensive weapon according to the japanese constitution. Using the word "defender" allowed the possession of an aircraft carrier.

Simply drop the Folders into your Strike Fighters Mods Folder.
