    3. Sundowner's EF-4C Phantom II, Wild Weasel IV

           Sundowner's EF-4C Phantom II, Wild Weasel IV
      this mod represents the F-4Cs that were modified to perform the Wild Weasel mission in the very early 1970s as they flew
      over Vietnam, then after Vietnam and into the beginning of the 1980s with the Indiana Air National Guard
                  Included
      Three complete aircraft highlighting the Vietnam, post Nam and Indiana Air Guard era's of this aircrafts career

                  Credits
      Sundowner            2 new EF-4C model with all relevant parts built in, new F-4_MER rack
      daddyairplanes            research, new skins and decals. ini edits
      unknown author            who did the original 67th TFS decals. i used roughly half of them, but neither
                      Sundowner nor Wrench can recall who's they originally were
      cSomers611, nightshadeP/R     test team

      a special thanks to Nyghtfall: my original request was for a new fakepilot model similar to the original mod
      Nyghtfall came through in spades with a beautiful fake pilot model. The same day he sent that to me however,
      Sundowner sent a full up model with all parts including the permanent strike cam in the Sparrow bay. While I
      went with Sundowners approach instead, i still highly appreciate Nyghtfall taking the time to assist my original
      request.
              Instructions
      unzip, unload contents of "2 Mod folder" into mod folder of your choice.

    4. Sabre Dogs - In Far East Asia

      Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) 
      Install:
      Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination.
      A fake pilot is required to run this mod.

      New model of F-86D as used by far East Asian countries. The set includes the Republic of China Air Force, South Korea Air Force, and the Philippine Air Force.
      Do not overwrite any old files that you might downloaded here in CA. Make a backup of old files or rename new ones. But definitely do not mix any files of the old F-86 with this new one.
      In the game, you will find it under the prefix * F-86D Sabre Dog
      I fixed data files a little - collision points and hitboxes..as the previous ones were quite weird. However, I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea or coffee. 
      All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed.
      Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in a particular year. Or I believe it does.
       
      Credits.
      The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench.
      Yours truly  -  model rework, mambo jumbo like skins, decals, research...
      Weapons Mk4 Might Mouse and AIM-9 by Ravenclaw. 
       
      Have fun.
      Report bugs. *
      Expect the unexpected.
      Live long and prosper.
      Jarek Hereda
      THIS MODEL IS ONLY TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE AND IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL IT BE USED, EVEN IN PART OF ANYTHING THAT IS PAYWARE.
      UNDER THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT
       
      * report BIG bugs...If I misspelled something or forgot to add a sound file...for dog's sake try to fix it.  Unlikely, this mod uses some ancient or extraterrestrial files..

      1.0.1
      By yakarov79
      fixed collision points and hitboxes, fixed lights, and some small data issues
      reworked weapon stations, now it uses a common US 300gal tank, corrected attachment points for big and small bullpups, shrikes, and all weapons in general.
      new skins with new bump maps and specular maps,  so nothing old will work now.
      I used my LAU-7 instead of that old one. now it has the correct proportions to AIM-9,
      I made a new launcher for AGM-12 and AGM-45 - Aero5A now weapons are properly attached to the launcher...
      added some small bits in the model and fixed some mapping issues,
      Additional credits:
      I have added all weapons that are stated in loadout.ini.
      all weapons are made by Ravenclaw
      Zuni rockets for launchers
      except two refueling pods made by nyghtfall from his A-4 pack.
      SKins represent pre-Vietnam War squadrons. First user VA-42 they were first in Intruder and was taking care of conversion and training for the US Navy. The second skin is for VA-75 short deployment, first for USS Independence and first for VA-75 on Intruder. Later in 1965, they deployed to Vietnam.

    12. F-102A RAZBAM pack v1.0

      YOU NEED RAZBAM F-102A FOR USING THIS PACK
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      I had this reworked F-102A in my HD for a long time.
      I have combined Paulopanz 's skinpack in RAZBAM with my own improvements.
      I made a complete rework of the performance specs, engine data, cockpit and avionic mods, new pilots, and ravenclaw weapons with completely new loadouts.
      There is also
      - a Vietnam specific version that can fire Air to Ground AIM-4s, converted by me, and SUU-11 pods.
      - a HAF specific version which is not much more than deleted AIM-26 capability in case X aircraft and a new pilot.
      Credits must really go to
      - RAZBAM
      - Paulopanz
      - Ravenclaw
      Known issues - the SUU-11 pods are not placed correctly. I didn't have time to fix it. I hope someone will fix them.
      EDIT:
      1) About the weapons:
      - For some reason I have Ravenclaw's AIM-4E but not the AIM-4F and AIM-4G. If someone has them, please notify me to include them in the pack.
      - This is the first actual use of Ravenclaw's AIM-26s. I was really surprised to realize that the AIM-26s were actually used only in the updated F-102s. It is weird that the AIM-26s were not used in the F-101Bs and the F-106s
      - I have included the AIM-4F also. I cannot remember exactly, but the AIM-4F was actually carried by the F-102A, I am not sure if it was certified for actual combat use or only for testing (F-102s were used as development planes for the F-106). My final conclusion is that the AIM-4Fs were not issued into operational service with the F-102As simply because they were not enough AIM-4E/F/Gs made, barely enough for the F-106A alone.
      2) I have not included a READ ME file, which I think I will do in the future.
      3) a possible update would fix the SUU-11 issue plus improved avionics, if someone has some suggestions for further improvements please PM me.

    13. Sabre Dogs - In USAF service.

      Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) 
      Install:
      Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination.
      A fake pilot is required to run this mod.

      New model of F-86D and L as used by USAF. Set includes 3 variants which in the game you will find under the prefix *USAF. 
      F-86D-25 Sabre Dog -early variant without assisting drag chute (Block 10-40). most of them were later upgraded to D-45 standard - (block D-16-46) It is named here D-25- - despite differences in block builds 25 was the first to introduce external fuel tanks and was a baseline for further blocks.
      F-86D-45 Sabre Dog -drag chute equipped variant - (Block 45-60) Named D-45 as it was the first of the line with drag chute housing and some other minor modifications.
      F-86L-61 Lima Dog - L model - upgraded airframes with data link SAGE system (not in-game) and 6-3 wings. All are rebuilds of D models - (Block 11-60)

      All skins are in 3072x3072 format. 
      Skins represent all squadrons (71) but three*, USAF Interceptor squadrons that ever used F-86D/L
      All squadrons have set skins to StartDefaultDate= into a period that particular model/paint scheme was used.
      * I did not include 3 squadrons as I was not able to find any single reference photo (probably no special markings were used as those squadrons lived for only a few months, but still reference would matter to me)
      Because this mod was evolving through time, I was not entirely sure how I was going to proceed. So some squadrons have correct serial numbers for a particular year, Others use decals from three decal folders representing airframes build- blk45-50, blk 55-60 and L blk11-61.
      Some aircraft have some special markings (C.O. stripes etc.) and some have nosearts.  Since the serial numbers list is always around 600 airframes it will appear on proper aircraft, You just have to find them in game.
       
      I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea.
      There is a small ini change in the cockpit and avionics ini. I changed a little angle of the radar scope.
      It uses only the Mk4 Mighty Mouse rocket as a weapon. And yes it is possible to fight enemy bombers.
      Additionally, I added a special "weapon" for D-45 - that will be loaded automatically after 1956 - 'F-86D_sugarscoops' the same as on the L model introduced to remaining D airframes.  This is just a visual upgrade, not really a weapon.
      Credits:
      The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench.
      Yours truly  -  model, skins, decals, research...
      Weapons: Mk4 Mighty Mouse by Ravenclaw. 

      Have fun.
      Report bugs. *
      Expect the unexpected.

    15. F-8K & F-8L Crusader (TW DLC)

      Third Wire F-8K & F-8L Crusader 1.0

      This pack is a TW DLC enhancement. So it's needed to work.
      Included is the F-8K with data/ avionic/ effect/ sound corrections for accuracy, as well as modification of the Third Wire DLC F-8K Crusader model into the F-8L model Crusader.

      F-8K
      -    The F-8K is the F-8C airframes rebuilt to extend their service life starting in 1969. It is updated with the same underwing pylons as F-8E, but it did not receive any engine or avionics updates. The F-8K was used mainly by the Marines squadrons in the States and did not see any combat.
      F-8L
      -    The F-8L is the F-8B airframes rebuilt to extend their service life starting in 1969. It is updated with the same wing as the F-8H as well as the landing gear from the F-8D/ E, but it did not receive any engine or avionics updates. The F-8L was used mainly by the Reserve squadrons in the States and did not see any combat.

      To install:
      1, Unpack and drop into your main mods folder.
      2, Override when prompted.

      Credits:
      -     F-8 DATA & LOADOUT v1.0 update  by FANATIC MODDER.
      -     SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion v.2.0 Gold  by Eburger68 and team.
      -    Weapons by Ravenclaw_007.

      CombatAce fair use agreement applies.

      Enjoy,
      Dan.

    16. Phinal Photos: RF-4C in USAF Service After Desert Storm: A TMF Rebuilt project

                                                     Phinal Photos: RF-4C in USAF Service After Desert Storm
                                                                             A TMF Rebuilt project
      This mod represents the phinal years of the Photo Phantom n USAF service. It includes a new RF-4C_91 model that features Sidewinder missile capability. While only a couple dozen RF-4Cs were wired for AIM-9 carriage, they served in the Alabama and Nevada Air National Guards while they did. Therefore, I placed the skins for those units in the _91 model's folder
                  Required
      a functional copy of any Strike Fighters 2 game except for SF2 North Atlantic (the only one without a native F-4 destroyed model)
      The aircraft from the TMF Rebuilt RF-4C Late set, available here: https://combatace.com/files/file/18263-late-model-rf-4cs-photo-phantoms-after-vietnam/
      (if you already downloaded this then you dont need to do it again)
                  Included
      3 RF-4C aircraft folders
      - RF-4C_85: skins only (12th RS, 173rd RS Nebraska ANG)
      - RF-4C_91: new aircraft with several Nevada and Alabama skins, and Sidewinder capability. Photo flash bays restricted to one or the other to make room for this capability, but photo flashes were not used as much in the phinal years.
      - RF-4C_ARN_101:  skin (12th RS) and data_ini adjustment (extends years to 1992 from original 1990)
      2 decal folders
      NOTE: most weapons, pilots, effects and sounds are already included in the original Rebuilt set. only AIM-9s for the _91 are included here

                  Credits
      -The Mirage Factory        the very original aircraft (see TMF Readme)
      -ravenclaw_007               original model, RF-4 pit
      -Sundowner                     further modifications to model and pit, effects for new photoflash bombs
      -daddyairplanes              skins, tgas, multiple ini edits, creation of 4 distinct aircraft from one model
      -guruu                               sounds
      -NightshadeP/R             testing. Nightshade often shows me my errors in screenshots he's just sharing for fun, while Menrva helps me with the more technical aspects
      -Sundowner, ravenclaw_007,
      yakarov79 and daddyairplanes    templates are a mix of layers as contributed by these four. compiled in current form by daddyairplanes
                  Special Thanks
        *  to Sundowner for supporting this project. He was kind enough to hand me this ball and let me run with it and even make additional features as I requested them
        *  to ET Brown, Gary Chambers and other members of the 106th Tac Recon Squadron page on Facebook. These Alabama Air Guardsmen veterans helped greatly and the "106th RS 94" skin features the crew chiefs on the nose just as the real aircraft had in the final 6 months.
                  About The Mirage Factory Rebuilt
      Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009.
      But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were just hopeful wishes over a decade ago.
          The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is jsut standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him.   
             On behalf of The Mirage Factory (original and rebuilt) I thank you for downloading this mod, and hope you enjoy it.

      thank you for downloading this mod, i hope you enjoy phlying it as much as i did creating it

      What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it. So please no copying of my skins for any use other than your own.
      This model is a is yet another rebuild of the old TMF max files which I was working on from the very outset. 
      .
      It is is no way designed to compete or to relpace the versions released by daddyairplanes, so dont try to use those skins on this model....the maps are different.
      The RF4-C nose has had a complete rebuild since the DA version as the nose profile is completly wrong along with more accurate air conditioner intakes and camera windows etc, etc
      The fuselage also got rebuilt to cure many shape issues and to give a more accurate undersides.
      Too many small fixes to list
      DO NOT INSTALL OVER ANY RF-4C-65 MODELS YOU MAY ALREADY HAVE..................re name this one!
      Please read the readme....it's for your benefit not mine.

      Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in
      use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009.
      But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original
      modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were
      just hopeful wishes over a decade ago.
          The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced
      with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is jsut standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today
      and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him.    
      on behalf of The Mirage Factory (original and rebuilt) I thank you for downloading this mod, and hope you enjoy it.

    22. RF-4B Vietnam era

      ALL work by ME ( Sundowner ) is now no longer covered by the CombatAce Freeware Licensing agreement.
      What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it. So please no copying of my skins for any use other than your own.
      What we have here is an almost completely new RF-4B model, there are 3 separate versions to choose  from all with small differences and skins.
      They are all from VMCJ-1 which was the only RF-4B unit that was stationed in Vietnam for almost the full duration of the war.
      Please read the readme as I'm struggling with using a keyboard at the moment.....

    23. Sabre Dogs - Japan Air Self-Defense Force

      F-86D 月光 -  Gekko of Japan Air Self-Defense Force
      Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) 
      Install:
      Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination.
      A fake pilot is required to run this mod.
      This is a new model of F-86D. 
      In the game, you will find it under a prefix .JASDF. * 
      * Japan Air Self-Defense Force

      I fixed data files a little - collision points and hitboxes..as the previous ones were quite weird. However, I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea or coffee. 
      All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed.
      Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in the JASDF in a particular year. More or less
       
      Credits.
      The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench.
      Yours truly  -  model rework, mambo jumbo like skins, decals, research...
      Weapons Mk4 Might Mouse and AIM-9 by Ravenclaw. 
      TACAN is made as a "weapon" that will load automatically after a certain year. 
       
      Have fun.
      Report bugs. *
      Expect the unexpected.
      Live long and prosper.

      UNDER THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT
       
      * report BIG bugs...If I misspelled something or forgot to add a sound file...for dog's sake try to fix it.

    24. RF-8A/G Vietnam Era.

      ALL work by ME ( Sundowner ) is now no longer covered by the CombatAce Freeware Licensing agreement.
      What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it. So please no copying of my skins for any use other than your own.
       
      These aircraft are aimed at the folks that actually like to fly missions, So going by that line of action all markings and serial numbers are painted on, this has the added bonus of gaining me a couple of extra fps and also means that I can export the lod WITHOUT the decals option, this definitely gains some more precious fps.
      This model is a combination of the old (Crab_02 RF-8G) and TMF RF-8A max files which I was working on from the very outset. 
      The RF-8A never got released because of Oli's sudden death.
      I've combined what I think are the best parts of both to come up with the models here, they may not be perfect or "historically correct" in every way as they are a constant wip.
      Please read the readme, you never know you might learn something.......
      Sundowner.

      Effects, sounds, weapons, and 4 RF-4C aircraft
      RF-4C_75: regular tanks and centerline pylon to allow nuke carriage.
      RF-4C_85: choice of regular Phantom centerline tank or F-15 style tank. Last full up model in use
