  2. Valkyrie VF3

    This package represents an vf1 Valkyrie from the macross / robotech series
    contains the plane with 6 skins, the pilot, weapons and some sounds
    I did not homologate the simulator's common weapons, only the specific weapons that I created for the model were tested
    we have the missiles:
    AMM-1-ARROW air air all aspect
    RMS-1 nuclear warhead air to destroy zentraedi cruisers
    RMS-2 ground air with nuclear warhead
    the GU-11-55 cannon has a caliber of 55mm (if you read correctly)
    It has a great range but it also has a great kick
    the plane is a plane, it is not a robot it cannot be transformed into a guardian
    el piloto es el modelo de la pelicula macroos recuerdas el amor.
    I had planned to create the characters of the series but unfortunately every day it becomes more difficult for me to finish projects to be able to share them with you, it would be a great help if you followed me on my youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8BqDDMdd -Xv4nvCnU2rXyw
    So
     I could justify the time invested to my wife hahahaha.

  3. Orion MPCV Pack

    Orion Multipurpose Crew Vehicle and variants:
     
    _________________________________________
    Hi there Combatace community!
    As you may already know, this Monday (with some luck) the mission ARTEMIS one is going to lift-off setting the path for future manned missions to the Moon, something that as engineer and space nerd I am very excited about. To celebrate this milestone and since I am finding myself without time to continue 3D modelling space gear for the Moon mods, I have decided to upload my UNFINISHED models so you can enjoy them! That includes:
    - Aircrafts (or should I say spacecrafts)
    Orion MPCV: Your normal Orion Multipurpose Crew Vehicle, with some "landing gear" I was trying to design because my experiments with vertical take-off were to this point very unsuccessful... but appart from that and two floating invisible pilons for IR missiles, it should look like the Orion that will take off in a few days! Orion MPCV-ICPS: That is a bigger Orion which includes a variation of the "Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage", which in reality is the upper stage of the SLS that will insert the spacecraft into a translunar orbit from Earth. I modelled it here as a longer range Orion since the ICPS module are substantially two giant propellant tanks (big one LH2 and smaller one LOX). Also I have equipped it with four rocket engines which will help compensating the much heavier fuel tanks (I tried to tweak the engines parameters to make it look a little bit more like a rocket engine instead of an airbreathing one, so fuel consumption has become super high hahaha) F-40A Apollo Starfighter: The beginning of the Spacefighters mod, a modified Orion MPCV-ICPS in which the main body of the ICPS module has been modified to carry weaponry becoming a propulsion and warmodule. It includes to arms with a pair of space adapted cannons and pylons for eight SIM-9A the first vacuum rated version of the AIM-9 with reactive thrust control for maneuvering. This is definetely not how I want it to look like but newer models are on the long To Do List. - AAA test beds: In order to become a full Space warfare mod, ground objects have to be implemented, unfortunately appart from static turrets and modified rovers sketches I have not been able to make 3D models, that is why I borrowed randomly GKABS M163 PIVADS models in order to have AAA with good targeting for the following systems:
    Laser AAA: In space, one of the biggest challenges is thermal control of the spacecraft, and since there is no atmosphere to dissipate beams, a laser could potentially become an enemy for sneaky spacecrafts that ventures into restricted territory. That is why a small low power version of Laser AAA is intended to be used in the early stages of the mods conflict. Railgun: An electromagnetically accelerated projectile, with low fire rate but high velocities. It would have sense in the moment in which bigger and armoured spacecrafts appears in later stages of the conflict. - Weapons:
    23mm MG-2040 Lunar Cannon 20mm M168 Lunar Vulcan 100KW XN1 Laser Weapon System (quick fact eventhough "small" 100kW is freaking difficult to generate on the Moon) 105mm Lunar Rail Gun SIM-9A Spacewinder - So what to expect from this release?
    As you will see, it lacks a lot of things we take for granted in this game: ground assets, targets to strike, actual Air-to-Ground and viceversa weaponry, spacecrafts from other nations. But as we all know, time is sometimes really hard to invest in these projects and real life easily takes over it. So at least you can have some dogfights between Orions and experiment this new environment. I personally enjoyed a lot the process of doing them and thinking how a Spacefighter mod would look like after seeing that a Moon map is actually possible (thank you Menrva!).
    So I hope you enjoy this despite of the clearly unfinished models and textures!
    - CREDITS TO:
    Menrva: For the amazing map in which all of this can be developed and for the nations creation with their logos and the skins for them in the Orion. ravenclaw_007: For the incredibly detailed AIM-9 model from which I based my own space version model. GKABS: For the M163 that I included for testing the different AAA systems. Combatace community: In general, for the support, suggestions, advice and the material that I have used but I am not able to track the creator. DISCLAIMER:  As always this is a FREEWARE, the use of this content for commertial purposes is strictly FORBIDDEN.
    Ohhh and before I forget it, THERE ARE NO LANDING GEARS! hahahha
     
    All being said, kind regards. Nuni

  4. CF-115 Northern Eagle

    CF-115 Northern Eagle:
    The CF-115 Northern Eagle is a special F-15E variant developed by Boeing to fill the requirements of the Royal Canadian Air Force and replace 3 CF-188 squadrons, the 409th, 410th and the 425th. The plane is very similar to the F-15EX, but it keeps in mind the air dominance role. It was introduced in 2018, and still flies today. 
    Big shoutouts to 1977Frenchie, who helped me a lot with this, guided me through all the process and tested the plane (this mod is 51% made by him, basically), and Viper63a, who created the SUPERB F-15E mod.
    THIS IS FREEWARE ONLY
    Have a good hunt, fly high and fast!

  8. German Super Hornets

    Well at one point this was not going to be a What If plane set but since Germany decided to go with the F-35 in real life I decided to submit this as a What If due to the hard work put forth by crisisloaner and me. Initial  work was done by crisisloaner with some editing and tweaks by me to make it available for download.
    - Pilots is from a mod unknown (but I suspect a Tornado mod)
    - Some decals are from guruu's Tornado mod and added for use on the Supers.
    - All weapons needed to run this mod are included. Other weapons are from the various weapon packs that you can get from this site and you should be able to run this without requiring the Super Hornet pack to play.
    - Included is a German version of the EA-18G and features JaboG 32 as a unit. Included is one F/A-18F squadron, AG51 "Immelman", and also included is a Marineflieger version with two squadrons included. Any inaccuracies, questions should be directed here:

  10. EF-101D Jammin VooDoo. What If...


    I have absolutely no idea what I am doing here...
    The true story behind Jammin VooDoo
    When USAF realized that maintaining expensive RF-101B become problematic for the budget they started to look for potential clients among allied forces. Imperial Iranian Air Force saw an opportunity in this. After closing the deal IIAF immediately asked the Israeli industry to prepare a possible package for 22 airframes. The deal covered the full conversion of existing airframes into electronic countermeasure fighters. RF-101B received ground mapping radar and sophisticated electronics. It was successfully used by IIAF in escort and SEAD missions until 1979. Soon before the revolution, Israel was afraid that Jammin Voodoo electronics will get into the wrong hands. Thanks to diplomatic efforts Heyl Ha'Avir acquired all 22 airframes. Jammin VooDoo stayed in Israel until 1983 where it served in 253 Tayeset as an experimental ECM detachment. In 1983 due to huge expenses with old airframes, EF-101 was sold back to the USA. All aircraft were sent to two National Guard squadrons where they served for 4 more years in "wild Weasel" detachments.
    In 2380 due to a temporal anomaly, USS Titan was sent into 1988. On secret assignment, all 22 aircraft were beamed into the cargo bay where airframes were scrapped and electronics were used to create a time beacon. 
     
     
    Basic modding skills are required t run this mod.

    RF-101B by erikgen
    pylons from great Nyghtfal A-4 pack converted to use with Jammin VooDoo.

  11. Dassault/FMA Rafale EA-2/DA

    BACKSTORY: 
    In 2014, with the Mirage retirement in mind, Argentina started a competition to decide wich plane was going to replace it in the near future. Due to the strategic position of the country and the abundance of resources, the contest ended up having various options: the F/A-18E/F, the Tejas MK1 and MK2, the Gripen, the Su-30, the MiG-35, the J-10CE and the Rafale, all with unique variants to fill the needs of the Argentinian Air Force.
    The chosen plane was the Rafale. The Argentinian Ministry of Defence agreed on 18 planes, 12 Rafale EA-2s and 4 Rafale DAs. The Rafale EA-2 is an advanced variant of the Rafale F4, equipped with AESA radar and Conformal Fuel Tanks. It can fire the MBDA MICA missiles, along with some russian ordenance. This is because Dassault, Argentina and Russia agreed to replace the british parts with russian parts in the exchange of Argentina buying and equipping the Rafale with russian precise guided munitions.
    The Argentinian Rafale participated in various exercises with NATO and eastern side countries, like the "ECOAS I", where the Argentinian pilots showed its great ability to fly low, "sinking" the USS George Bush.
    Special thanks to JAT81500, for releasing the Dassault Rafale F4,  wich is used as the Dassault Rafale EA-2
    And ThirdWire, for this amazing sim, that I love and play almost everyday...

    I hope you enjoy this mod as much as I do.
    Have a good flight!
    Good hunting!

  12. [Fictional] Mikoyan-Gurevich Ye-2PFM "Faceplate-D"

    Mikoyan-Gurevich Ye-2PFM "Faceplate-D" for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
    Released 'as is', this is Mikoyan-Gurevich Ye-2PFM 'Faceplate' - featuring a 3D model by KnightWolf45 (the artist formerly known as Cocas). 
    In the mid-1950's the MiG OKB was tasked in developing a new lightweight supersonic interceptor fighter for the Soviet Air Force and flight-tested two distinct designs in parallel - one with a thin, swept-wing and one with a tailed delta wing. The tailed delta would eventually win out to become the famous MiG-21 'Fishbed' but it's tantalising to consider 'what if' the swept-wing Ye-2A prototype had either won or was considered good enough to also be procured. Anyway, this is the swept-wing Ye-2 as it might have looked in service with the Soviet Air Force and I've also included Egyptian, Mongolian and Parani skins. 
    Giving the aircraft a service designation is tricky as it was given a provisional designation of MiG-23 but, of course, this conflicts with the swing-wing 'Flogger' that came later. We can't use an even number like MiG-20 or MiG-22 so I've just called it the Ye-2PFM and you can change this to suit your own thoughts on this matter.

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Ye-2PFM folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Ye-2PFM folder into your Decals folder.
    3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the Faceplate-GP-9 folder into your Weapons folder.
    That's it!

    CREDITS
    As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
    Huge thanks to KnightWolf45 for creating the Ye-2PFM 3D model a few years ago and to the CAF team for any inputs that followed.
    Special thanks also to Coupi for sending me his templates that I've used to create the skins.
    Thanks to Paladrian for the MiG-21 pit.
    And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

  19. Lockheed/FMA IA-16 "Serpiente"

    Lockheed/FMA IA-16 Serpiente:
    BACKSTORY:
    The year is 1998. Argentina starts showing its newly acquired A-4AR Fightinghawk, modernized to replace the old A-4Bs. While this was happening, it was clear that the Mirages had to be retired anywhere in a near future. So, the Fabrica Militar de Aviones, also called FMA, joins Lockheed Martin to develop a multirole, supersonic fighter, to fill the space that the Mirage will no longer cover. The result of this alliance is the IA-16 Serpiente, a multirole, supersonic and highly capable aircraft, developed from the F-16. The Serpiente is very similar to the Japanese F-2, but they have some differences that make them unique: while the F-2 has a boom receptor for air refueling, the Serpiente has a fuel probe, being capable of refueling from the KC-130 owned by the FAA. The avionics and a lot of parts from the plane itself are made in Argentina, and after 2008, the plane could be made in Argentinian soil without importing a single manufactured piece. The first plane flew in 2002, and was introduced in the FAA in the year 2005. The plane is equipped with Python 5 and AMRAAM missiles. It also can be equipped with AIM-9Xs and, due to the open architecture, it can be equipped with MICA and Meteor missiles. In 2007, Argentina recieved a first batch of 24 Serpientes, with 12 going to the 5th Fighter Group and the other 12 to the 6th Fighter Group, and in 2015, with the retirement of the Mirages and Neshers, another 24 IA-16 Serpiente Block 2 were ordered, plus the modernization of the existing ones to the Block 1+ standard, matching the avionics of the upcoming versions. The nacionalization of the whole assembly proccess of the plane has opened the opportunity for exports, being offered to small countries, like Uruguay, Paraguay and El Salvador. These 3 countries allegedly planned to buy 12 units of the Serpiente each one, but pressure from the US (even though the Serpiente is a US derived product) made them decline the offer. The Serpiente has seen service in the FAA for 15 years now, and is expected to surpass 2040. The future of this plane looks bright, with several modifications planned for the next year, like a radar-absorbing painting, to have semi-stealth capabilities (coming probably next update).

  20. Lightning f.53dh 1974/1987 "Super Lightning" - Dhimar

    A simple mod of stock TW Lightning F.53.  It gives you two fictional variants of dhimari Lightnings,  armed with Sparrow and Sidewinders, with 1987 version equipped with modern HUD and radar from F-16A.  It's the first SF2 mod i decided to share.    Obviously,  Strike Fighters 2 Expansion Pack 2 is required. 
     
    --------------------------Background Story
    In 1966, Kingdom of Dhimar, worried about Parani supersonic Tu-22 bombers and Su-7 strike aircraft, ordered 34 F.53 Lightning interceptors from BAC.
    While Dhimari air force pilots were more than satisfied with its performance, speed and rate of climb, its missile armament was not really adequate for the task. This has become even more apparent after kingdom started to receive its first batch of US made F-4 Phantoms, armed with radar guided, all aspect missiles.
    In 1972, decision was made to upgrade the Dhimari Lightnings to more modern standards.  Working together with Ferranti and Raytheon, Royal Dhimari Research and Development Bureau managed to successfully modify the AI.23 radar allowing it to guide new AIM-7 sparrow missiles.  Both hull and wing hardpoints were modified in order to mount US provided AIM-7s and AIM-9s.  The upgrade program also added (audio only) RWR and countermeasure launchers.  The modifications decreased the volume of ventral fuel tank, however this was considered to be acceptable trade-off, and between 1974 and 1976 all dhimari lightnings were converted to this variant.
    In 1986 BAe offered further 22 Lightnings to Dhimar - all ex-Saudi F.53 airframes, together with supply of spare parts and engines.  Soon after that, further 10 Lightnings were bought from Kuwait.  At first, all airframes were intended to be simply refurbished and upgraded to the same standard as rest of dhimari fighters,  but - mostly because of personal insistence of Dhimari Prince Fa'ad, the decision was made to modify them even further, completely replacing 60s era avionics with significantly more advanced systems - most important of them being latest AN/APG-66 radar, together with Marconi HUD (displayed directly on pilot's windshield, like in F-14, rather than on separate glass panel).
    In October 1987 first such modified Lightnings entered Dhimari service.  The program was deemed successful enough that in early 90s it was extended to 1972 modified airframes as well.
    While 1972 and 1987 variants retained the ground attack capabilities of F.53, Dhimari air force preferred to keep them as pure air defence fighters.  However, few airframes transferred to mercenary Special Operation Wing were sometimes used as strike aircraft - despite being armed only with unguided weaponry.
     
    --------------------------Installation
    Just unpack and drop it into mod folder.

  21. Chengdu J-10AR "Ehécatl"

    Chengdu J-10A-AR "Ehécatl"
    This model is a approximation of how a Chengdu J-10 might look if it was in service with the Argentinian Air Force, being part of the 6to Grupo de Caza y Ataque, belonging to the VI Brigada Aérea. 
    As many of you might know, Argentina is planning to modernize its air force, and one of the jets that has been considered is the J-10, coming along with the JF-17, the MiG-35 and the MiG-29 (I should work on one of those).
    The model, though, is not accurate. The offer made by China considers the J-10CE, an export version of the J-10C.
    This plane can carry Chinese and Russian weapons, and Argentinian Mk-series bombs.
    The aircraft will appear on the list as "Chengdu J-10A-AR "Ehécatl".
    The adding of the -AR is just a formality.
    To install it, you will need to copy and paste the folders in your SF2 mod folder, following basic mod installation proccess.
    In the folder >>J10AR-Final Version<< you will find 4 folders. These are:
    Aircraft >> J-10A
    Decals >> J-10A
    Flight >> FLIGHTENGINE.INI
    Weapons >> KometaTankC // KometaTankW
    Special thanks to:
    Erwin_Hans and InSky, for the fantastic model they made of the Dragon...
    Franconinja14, who made the skin for the plane...
    Stipe, for the MiG-29M3 "Hyper Fulcrum" and its HUD, that I used for this mod...
    Spinners, for the Kometa and its tanks, wich I use in this mod...
    Eagle114th, for the screenshots, giving me tips and helping with everything (this guy is a genius)...
    And ThirdWire, for this amazing sim, that I love and play almost everyday...

    I hope you enjoy this mod as much as I do.
    Have a good flight!
    Good hunting!

  22. Lockheed Martin F-4AR "Phantom Eagle"

    The Lockheed Martin F-4AR Phantom Eagle  is a major upgrade of the McDonnell Douglas F-4E Phantom II developed for the Argentine Air Force which entered service in 1998. The program was named Phantom Eagle in recognition of the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle , which was the source of its new avionics.
    Schemes of A-4AR (V) and IAI Finger (VI)
    I know it could be better but I still have a lot to learn. Enjoy it

  23. [Fictional] McDonnell Douglas F-4S 'COAN' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2

    McDonnell Douglas F-4S 'COAN' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
    This is a simple mod of the F-4S by 'The Mirage Factory' to give a fictional Phantom F-4S 'COAN' as it might have appeared in service with the Comando de Aviación Naval Argentina during the 1980-2010 timeline. Also included are three fictional Argentine aircraft carriers; the ARA Bernardino Rivadavia (V-3), the ARA Hippolyte Bouchard (V-4) and the ARA Guillermo Brown (V-5).

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-4S_COAN folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-4S_COAN folder into your Decals folder.
    3. From the GROUND OBJECTS folder drag and drop all three folders into your Ground Objects folder.*
    4. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_COAN into your Pilots folder.
    5. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop both folders into your Weapons folder.
    * You'll really need to add 'ArgentineNavy' to the limited nations section of the ICELANDNA_NATIONS data.ini (which you'll need to extract). Doing this yourself will allow you to align the Argentine Navy to a 'colour' of your choice.

    CREDITS
    As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
    Special thanks to 'The Mirage Factory' for permission to modify the F-4S and also to Sundowner for the F-4S templates which really helped in adapting the Third Wire F-4J skins to fit.
    Thanks to Ravenclaw007 for the AM39 Exocet missile - as soon as I saw the textures I knew who to thank!
    Thanks also to the creator of the AR_BRP_250-Kappa_E bomb. It's been in my install for ages but I honestly don't know who to thank.
    And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
    Regards
