PZL-60 / Gloster Meteor F.8 'Sily Powietrzne' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
Requires Expansion Pack 1
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire Meteor F.8 to give a fictional PZL-60 in service with the Polish Air Force with markings for;
No.302 Squadron - In a silver or bare metal finish.
No.317 Squadron - In an earthy camo scheme.
No.318 Squadron - In a Photo-Recon scheme (this scheme is for the camera equipped PZL-60R).
If you wanted all three squadrons in silver it would be easy to swap things around and a 'patch' PSD is included to help you make the changes or to help you introduce your own favourite esquadron.
BACKSTORY
The stunning success of Operation Market Garden and the subsequent push through Holland and across the North German Plain during the Autumn of 1944 shook the German Military High Command to it's core and eventually led to the assassination of Adolf Hitler on November 10th, 1944 when his Ju-52 transport aircraft was shot down by unknown rogue Luftwaffe pilots as the part of the Fighter Pilots Conspiracy.
The new German Military High Command concluded that it would be in the best interests of the country to throw everything into the defence of the Eastern Front and allow Allied forces in the West to advance without opposition, although the logistical chain made this advance slower than expected. On the Eastern Front there was an almost immediate slowdown in the rate of the Soviet advance and soon Soviet forces inside Poland were held at the Bialystok-Rzeszow line. By January 1944 Allied forces in the West were reaching the borders of Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland hampered only by roads clogged by evacuees and surrendering German troops but by the middle of January 1945 General Patton's Third US Army had punched through to liberate Warsaw before swinging north to meet up with Montgomery's 21st Army Group at Gdansk. By February 8th it was all over and the formal German surrender was signed at Lublin in Eastern Poland by Grand Admiral Karl Donitz and General Walter Bedell Smith and witnessed by Russian General Ivan Susloparov and French General Francois Sevez.
The rescheduled Yalta Conference held on March 1st, 1945 saw Stalin demanding a "Soviet sphere of political influence" in Eastern and Central Europe in return for Soviet support in the Pacific War against Japan by invading Japan through Manchuria. However a last minute briefing made to President Roosevelt by Major General Kenneth Nichols on the progress on the Manhattan Project led to President Roosevelt's decision not to rely on Soviet support in the Pacific and to wholeheartedly support Winston Churchill's demand for free elections and democratic governments in Eastern and Central Europe and specifically in Poland. Churchill reminded all present that in September 1939 Britain and France had gone to war with Germany in support of Poland and nothing other than a free and democratic Poland would suffice. Roosevelt knew that Soviet spies at Los Alamos were aware of the power of the atomic bombs and also how close to operational status and used this knowledge that Stalin also knew to stiffen his resolve. In the horsetrading that followed the Western Allies essentially got what they wanted with regard to Poland with the new border essentially following the 1940 version of the Curzon Line but the the rest of Central and Eastern were handed over to the Soviet sphere of political influence.
The Allied withdrawl from Poland followed during the Spring and Summer of 1945 and culminated in the declaration of "The Third Polish Republic" on November 11th, 1945 a date chosen to coincide with the existing National Independence Day. Also on this day, and wisely for a country now surrounded by Communist states and within the Soviet sphere of influence, the new Polish Government declared its neutrality as an Act of Parliament as part of the Constitution of Poland. Led by Stanislaw Mikolajczyk the new Republic of Poland had a difficult birth but the Polish people reconstructed their battered country with such vigour that by 1948 they had recovered their economy and infrastructure to pre-WW2 levels and continued this economic miracle into the 1950's and beyond.
During this tumultuous time the new Polish Air Force had a similarly difficult birth commencing with the dove-tailing of the Polish elements of the Royal Air Force (active since 1940) with the Polish People's Air Force (created in 1943 in defence of the Soviet Union). Some RAF Spitfire IX's and USAAF P-51D's were left behind at airfields in the West of the country to reform No.302 Squadron at Swidwin and a handful of elderly Yak-1 and damaged Yak-9 fighters were scraped together in the East of the country to reform the 1st Fighter Regiment at Warsaw later renamed No.303 Squadron. During the Spring of 1946 ex-RAF Tempest V's replaced the Spitfires and Mustangs of No.302 Squadron but No.303 Squadron had to wait until 1948 to re-equip with the unpopular Avia S-199 supplied by Czechoslovakia. During 1950 both squadrons began to receive Gloster Meteor F.8's from a cancelled Egyptian order following the UN arms embargo and No.302 Squadron operated the type until 1961 when they were replaced by Dassault Super Mystères. A production licence was granted to PZL (Panstwowe Zaklady Lotnicze - the State Aviation Works) to manufacture the Gloster Meteor F.8 and a total of 96 aircraft were manufactured between 1952 and 1956.

Version 1 - 24/01/2015
This is a mod of Mirage Factorys F-5E Tiger II to make it look like a fictional plane for the US air force.
BACKGROUND:
The need for a fast, agile and versatile attack plane led to the construction of this plane. The R&D department of Northrop Grumman went a more unorthodox way: They took the F-5E Tiger II contruction plans and started modyfing some of the parts and remodeling the fuselage, wings and interior fuselage ompartments. The improvements were astonishing, even for the engineers from Northrop Grumman. The entire hull is composed of a titanium alloy coating a skeleton of carbon fibre and a steel/titanium alloy, making possible a high loadout both under the wings and fuselage.
General Electric improved the former engines of this plane replacing the injection system, using less parts and reducing the weight of the engines by using different materials. This improvements lets the engine develop more than 30% dry and wet thrust than before.
Also the avionics and the radar got modified enabling the use of the most air-air and air-ground-weapons. The radar used is the AN/APG-70V1.
This made necessary the removal of the left gun leaving the muzzle there for cooling purpose of the new and advanced electronic equipment. The right gun was replaced with a 20mm M61A1-Gatling Gun.
The "TacTiger" made its maiden flight on the 18th of October of 2011 and entered service in 2012.
The Upgrade Includes :
- AN/APG-70V1 AESA RADAR
- NEW AVIONICS
- ATFLIR TARGETING POD
- AN/ALQ-13 NAVIGATION POD
- IFF SYSTEM
- NEW ENGINES
- NEW FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
- ENHANCED FLIGHT MODEL
- JHMCS PILOT
- NEW ECM JAMMING SYSTEM
ARMAMENT :
- AIM-9X SIDEWINDER
- AIM-120C AMRAAM
- ALL GPS GUIDED BOMB TYPES
- GBU-12D PAVEWAY 500LB LASER GUIDED BOMB
- GBU-24B PAVEWAY II 2000LB LASER GUIDED BOMB

P-40S SuperHawk
This is a fictional upgrade of the P-40N Warhawk.
Background:
With the XP-40Q project failing to get of the ground Curtiss came up with an upgrade to the existing late model P-40 airframes that would give them performance on par with the XP-40Q and the P-51D. The resulting P-40S SuperHawk performs so well it rapidly becomes one of the front line fighters of choice. It will even go on to serve in the Korean War alongside the P-51D.
The upgrade:
- 2200HP Packard V-2250 engine (Packard built Merlin 1710 upgraded to 2200HP).
- Four-bladed Rotol propeller.
- 4 x 20mm Hispano Mk II cannons.
- K-14 gyro gunsight.
- Range: 650 mi (560 nmi, 1,100 km400 nmi (459 mi, 740 km).
- Service ceiling: 43,500 ft (13,258 m).
- Rate of climb: 3,650 ft/min (18.5 m/s).
I have included skins for every late war WWII theatre the P-40 operated in as well as a ‘what if’ USAF WWII ETO and Korea skin. There are skins for the RAAF, RAF, RNZAF, USAF and Soviet Airforce.

This is a mod of the Super Hornet F from EricJ to make it look like fighterplane from the japanese air self defense force.
BACKGROUND:
In 2011, the actual minister of defense, Toshimi Kitazawa, wanted the air force to be more powerful and well equipped than they are now. Even the F-2 and the F-15J and DJ seemed not to be modern enough. Kitazawa was of the opinion, with the rising of China and the becoming dangerous of northern Korea, the air force as main line of defense had to grow in strength.
During that same year, Japan and the US signed a contract over more than 120 planes, primarily F-Type, of the Super Hornet. Being modified by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for being capable of using the modern japanese missiles.
Being odd at first sight, the new aggressor camo of the first squadron to receive the plane reflects the mood of its pilots, showing the enemy that there will be no retreat..just like Samurai. The unperfect camo concerning some stains along the colour borders are wanted and shall recall the japanese calligraphy.
The first planes will enter service in 2012 in the 8th, 302nd, 303rd and 305th Hikotai.

Dassault-Breguet Sagette (Arrow) for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (Europe or Merged)
I modded the stock MiG-21SM from SFP:E to make it look like a fictional fighter for the french air force.
BACKGROUND
After the retirement of the Farandole II, several french fighter wings got the Mystere IVA. Complaints about lacking engine power and fire power led to the development of the Sagette, which was a more versatile and powerful fighter, easy to fly and and with reasonable armament. This plane entered active service in 1971, replacing the Mystere IVA.
This plane was also able to carry the new R530 IR and radar guided missiles, which gave the plane even more firepower.

Hawker Harrier Mk.51 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire Harrier GR.1 to give a fictional Harrier Mk.51 as it might have appeared when in service with the Fuerza Aérea del Perú. Fictional markings are included for Escuadrón Aéreo 112 and Escuadrón Aéreo 113.
You will need to have SF2:E for the Harrier LOD's which are not included. For the record, this mod uses a little bit (more) artistic licence from me in so much that Fuerza Aérea del Perú aircraft normally only have a roundel on the port upper wing but I've applied it to both wings upper and lower.

2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Harrier51 folder into your Decals folder.
That's it!

I. History
In 1946 the UK had a lot of major problems. It suffered high losses during WW2 and war damages all over the country were significant. The industry layed down and a big amount of war depts pressed the economy further. On the other hand the Royal Navy had a lot of ships which were not neccessary anymore. So it was decided to sell some major ships, including aircraft carriers. The HMS Colossus was sold to France, the HMS Warrior went to Canada. The Netherlands wanted to buy the HMS Venerable and Australia was interessted in the HMS Venegance.
1946 the Soviet Union showed their wish to buy 3 carriers of the Colossus class and offered a price of 50tons of fine gold. So the last 3 carriers of the Colossus class, the Theseus, Triumph and Perseus were handed over to the Soviet Sea War Fleet and were named as TAKR Odessa, TAKR Kronstadt and TAKR Sewastopol.
Odessa and Kronstadt were operated by the Northern Fleet, while the Sewastopol served in the Baltic fleet for 6 years. In 1952 all carriers were sent back to Navy wharfs to refit them with an angle deck. The blueprints of this innovative design was stolen by the Cambridge Five espionage group. In 1955 the Odessa became operational again. The Kronstadt followed one year later and the Sewastopol reentered the service in 1957. All 3 carriers were used till mid/end 70th.
After refit with angle deck the MiG-17 became the core of the Odessa flight group. But in 1961, the Soviet Navy demanded a supersonic interceptor with Mach 2 capabilities. The OKB MiG decided to modify their newest plane, the MiG-21PF, to fit the requirements of carrier operations. The MiG-21K was born.
The K got a strenghtend landing gear, an arrestor hook and carriertypical avionics. The most obviesly difference was the introduction of canards and an inflight refuel probe. So it was possible to increase the former much to short range of the plane. The K got the new engine R-13-300 which was originally intended for the next MiG-21 generation.
After nearly one decade of carrier operations a new updated version was needed. It came in 1968 and got the designation MiG-21KS. The KS got the RP-22 radar which increased the detection range by 50% and made new weapons possible. So the R-60 and R-3R were introduced and the air to ground missile Kh-23. The number of weapon stations was doubled. Now were 4 wingpylons available. The new stronger R-13F2-300 engine gave the KS a better handling.
As nuclear strike plane the MiG-21KST was developed. KST stands for korableniy, safir, toplivo what means carrierborn, saphire radar RP-22, additionally fuel. It got the big back tank of the MiG-21SMT and was prepared to carry nuclear bombs under the wings. It entered the service in 1973.
1975 the last version MiG-21Kbis came to the squadrons. The external shape was similar to the precessor MiG-21KS, but under the skin the Kbis was a new plane. The structure was mainly build by titanium what made the plane light and strong. The new R-25-300K engine gave more thrust and less fuel consumtion. The RP-22KM radarsystem was able to operate the new medium range air to air missiles of the R-23 and R-24 family over a distance up to 40km.
All MiG-21K versions had had no internal gun, but where ably to carry the GP-9 gunpod under the central fuselage station.

The Dassault Mirage IIIV was a French vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) prototype fighter aircraft of the mid-1960s. The Mirage IIIV model followed the Dassault Mirage III and featured eight small vertical lift jets straddling the main engine. The design was in response to a NATO specification for a VTOL strike fighter. One of the two aircraft built was destroyed in an accident and the project was abandoned; the surviving aircraft is on public display.

*****************************************************
This mod is made for SF2NA.

I. History
In 1946 the UK had a lot of major problems. It suffered high losses during WW2 and war damages all over the country were significant. The industry layed down and a lot of war depts pressed the economy further. On the other hand the Royal Navy had a lot of ships which were not neccessary anymore. So it was decided to sell some major ships, including aircraft carriers. So the HMS Colossus was sold to France, the HMS Warrior went to Canada. The Netherlands wanted to buy the Venerable and Australia was interessted in the Venegance.
1946 the Soviet Union showed their wish to buy 3 carriers of the Colossus class and offered a price of 50tons of fine gold. So the last 3 carriers of the Colossus class, the Theseus, Triumph and Perseus were handed over to the Soviet Sea War Fleet and became the names TAKR Odessa, TAKR Kronstadt and TAKR Sewastopol.
Odessa and Kronstadt were operated by the Northern Fleet, while the Sewastopol was operated by the Baltic fleet for 6 years. In 1952 all carriers were sent back to Navy wharfs to refit them with an angle deck. the blueprints of this innovative design was stolen by the Cambridge Five. In 1955 the Odessa became operational again The Kronstadt followed one year later and the Sewastopol reentered the service in 1957. All 3 carriers were used till mid 70th.
After refit with angle deck the MiG-17 became the core of the Odessa flight group. The MiG-17K was developed from the MiG-17F and was used for daylight operations and in the air to ground role. For bad weather and night operations the MiG-17KP was developed from the MiG-17PF. In 1967 both types were updated to carry the AA-2 Atoll (R-3S) missile.

McDonnell Douglas A-4K Skyhawk 'BAF' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire DLC A-4K to give a fictional Belgian A-4K with markings for No.1, No.2 and No.42 squadrons of the Belgian Air Force with service years ranging from 1970 to 1991. If you haven't actually got the A-4K DLC you'll quickly be able to hack the contents to suit whatever you've got available to you. Please note that for simplicity (i.e. laziness) I've used the stock Mirage 5BA serial numbers.
BACKSTORY
In early February 1968 the outgoing Belgian Paul Van den Boeynants announced that the Dassault Mirage 5 was to be purchased as the desperately needed Thunderstreak replacement for the Belgian Air Force. However, within days, massive student unrest and questions of discrimination against the ethnic Flemish population led to the bringing down of the Van den Boeynants government and a new incoming government led by Gaston Eyskens. The new government immediately cancelled the order for the Mirage 5BA and instead purchased the American A-4K Skyhawk in a reduced purchase of 48 A-4K single-seaters and 12 TA-4K two-seat trainers.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the A-4K_BAF folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the A-4K_BAF folder into your main Decals folder.
3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_BAF folder into your main Pilots folder.
4. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the Orpheus folder into your main Weapons folder.
CREDITS
Thanks to TK and Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.
Thanks also to Steve S for the splendid Orpheus reconnaissance pod.
And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Version 1 - 25/05/14
Fictional mod of the stock Mirage 5F modifying it to a fictional fighter plane for the United States marine Corps.
YOU WILL NEED SF2:E and SF2:I AT LEAST TO GET THIS PLANE RUNNING!
BACKGROUND
After the enormous success of the F-114A among the pilots in the USAF, which described the plane as easy to fly,
the USMC wanted a similar plane but with a major variety of arming possibilities. Regarding that, the hull was modified
to allow the addition of two more weapon stations. The USMC was satisified with the result and ordered 72 planes.
The squadrons represented in this pack are the VMA-231 "Aces", the VMF-232 "Red Devils" and the VMFA-333 "Shamrocks".
INSTRUCTIONS

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

Hawker Hunter FGA.9B for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of the Third Wire Hawker Hunter FGA.73 (a DLC) to give a fictional Hawker Hunter FGA.9B fighter-bomber aircraft as it might have appeared in service with the Royal Air Force during the 1972-1979 timeline with the tactical markings of that era. No.45 and No.58 Squadrons actually did operate a mix of Hunter F.6's and FGA.9's during the early-mid 1970's so I've used these two squadrons but given them a slightly more advanced 'six pylon' version of the Hunter and with scabbed-on countermeasures. Also included (as a request) is a SEAC skin with markings for No.28 Squadron who operated Hunters out in the Far East during the 1960's.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9B folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9B folder into your Decals folder.
3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the AIM-9K folder into your Decals folder.
The AIM-9K is a fictional UK version of the AIM-9G simply created to enable you to carry four Sidewinders without also opening up those pylons to the full range of NATO weapons as I wanted to keep the weapons UK only.
CREDITS
As always, big thanks to Third Wire for creating a great little game/sim.
Special thanks to ndicki for his superb Hunter templates that helped me to create the 'SEAC' scheme.
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

Fictional mod of the stock F-100D_68 to make it look like a fighter plane for the US Navy.
The Dassault Mirage IIIV was a French vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) prototype fighter aircraft of the mid-1960s. The Mirage IIIV model followed the Dassault Mirage III and featured eight small vertical lift jets straddling the main engine. The design was in response to a NATO specification for a VTOL strike fighter. One of the two aircraft built was destroyed in an accident and the project was abandoned; the surviving aircraft is on public display.
