UPDATE FOR STORM'S F-4N PHANTOM 2
 
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
** NOTE: THIS IS FOR USERS WHO DO NOT HAVE THE THIRDWIRE DLC F-4N. IF YOU HAVE THAT DLC THEN DOWNLOAD THIS FILE **
** **
** THIS MOD, DUE TO THE USE OF THE F-4B_67 LODS, DOES NOT HAVE SLATTED STABS OR DROOPING AILERONS. AGAIN, IF YOU HAVE THE DLC, **
** USE THE ABOVE FILE INSTEAD!!!! **
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
This is an update for the F-4B_67 based F-4N by CA's own STORM. I have added DECM markings and several skins for Gull Grey over White and the Overall Gull Grey paint schemes. I started this project on STORMs N, then completed a version on the DLC N. This brings the work back to its starting area. That said if you have the DLC N i suggest getting that enhancement mod. But if you did not buy it or prefer this one, I've looked out for you too.
 
Included
 
- Renamed STORMs aircraft "F-4N Phantom II (STORM) to avoid confusion the DLC mod. Esp important for me as i did in fact have both!!!!
- Added F-4N (80_Storm) aircraft for Overall Gull Gray and Low Viz Gray skins.
- unit specific skins for all N Phlyers from 1974 until about 1982.
- DECM antenea for the intakes, added via fakepilot method
- the latest squadronlist.ini.
 
Requirements
Need SF2 Vietnam for the F-4B_67 lods
 
Installation
unzip, add folders to mod folder, allow merge and overwrite if needed
 
Credits
 
*STORM for the original mod
*mppd for the DECM fairings
*Thanks to Sundowner for his templates. With a Sundowner template, you have to work hard to screw up a skin!!!!!
*mytai01. much of this work is based off of his model for decalling the F-4 Phantom. Some of the nn tgas are even lifted off his B model skins and adjusted into N models BuNos. Those that have seen his work will recognize much influence in this mod.
*As with all my Phantom mods, thank you to Spillone104 for his J-79 effects. I do like them so, and hope you will as well.
*Thanks to Gerwin, Sundowner, Blade, Wrench, Dave, mppd, Ghost531 and many others who have given me answers and resources to many technical questions the last year and a half i've been working this.
*BIG Thanks to Icarus999 for catching a previous error in the mod
*and as always thanks to TK who developed the game
 
again thank you for downloading this mod and i hope that you enjoy it!

This mod has been tested with Strike Fighters 2 Full 5 merged install; it should work with individual installations of SF2V and/or SF2NA. Cockpits (not included) required in order to make the A-6 flyable.
 
Note: more screenshots available here.
 
Version 1.51 can be installed directly over version 1.5.
 
I have always loved the A-6 Intruder, and I was disappointed to see that the A-6 was not flyable by default in the SF2 series. Having been inspired by MigBuster's A-6 CCIP mod, I extracted the A-6A cockpit from WoV and started an A-6A campaign in SF2V. One thing led to another, and now I present a package that should greatly enhance your Intruder experience, or at the very least provide more variety in campaigns.
 
What the Superpack Does
This package is designed to enhance the default 3W A-6 models and skins, as well as provide additional options for all A-6 variants available. Among the things added are:
High resolution (2048x2048) skins for both classic gull grey and tactical grey schemes
Additional variants of existing skins, including differently colored radomes and low visibility details
Enhanced aircraft profiles for the loadout screens.
Additional decals, to include Modexes on flaps and historically accurate BuNos on the tails.
More historically accurate (though not organizational specific) decal size and placement for different A-6 variants.
USN Squadrons VA-42, VA-128, and VAQ-134 (H/T Wrench and Dave)
USMC Squadrons VMA(AW)-332 and VMAT(AW)-202
Entries, logos, and markings for all USN and USMC EA-6B Prowler squadrons (including reserve squadrons)
Enhanced squadron logos for many squadrons, including VA-65, VA-75, VA-85, and VA-196 (H/T Wrench for VA-75).
Enhanced hangar screens and loadscreens for each A-6 variant
Upper fuselage markings and custom wing tanks for some squadrons
Added landing lights, pylon lights, and ventral anti-collision lights to models and skins (anti-collision lights optional on pre-TRAM variants).
Further LOD enhancement, to include proper relative placement of Pilot/BN, upgraded ejection seats, and the use of USN pilot LODs.
Enhancement of Avionics, Data, and Loadout files for each variant, with particular emphasis on RWR and weapons capability.
Enhancement of MigBuster's "DIANE" CCIP mod for the A-6, with improved bombsight/fall-line graphics and compatibility with March/April 2012 patches.
Enhancement of Vietnam and North Atlantic campaigns
Addition of USMC A-6 to appropriate Europe campaigns
Complete Naval Ops integration for the original SF2 campaigns (H/T malibu43)

In addition, this mod adds the A-6B and the A-6E_90, commonly known as the Systems/Weapons Integration Program (SWIP). SWIP Intruders in SF2 have a TEWS and are capable of carrying Guided EO missiles such as the AGM-65 Maverick and AGM-84E SLAM in addition to their standard loadout. The A-6E_90 is listed in-game as the A-6E Intruder (TRAM 90) to keep the acronyms to a minimum. The default A-6E TRAM was renamed A-6E Intruder (TRAM 79).
 
What the Superpack Doesn't Do
This mod enhances default aircraft. If you don't have the default A-6 LODs, or if you prefer to use a different set of A-6 LODs, then this mod is of limited value to you. Don't expect specific organizational insignia or logo placement. I tried to be historically accurate, but since these are skins designed to be compatible with all A-6 squadrons, organizationally specific markings cannot be supported. Likewise, squadron insignia change over time, and the limitations of using the default decals prevent this evolution. Variation between organizations is best represented by subtle differences between skins assigned to the same A-6 variant (e.g. the A-6E with the white/grey nose may look slightly different than the one with the tan nose). Finally, the Superpack is unfortunately not flyable without further modification. You will need to provide your own cockpit in order to enable player use of the A-6.
 
Installation
The Superpack is divided into three sections: the Primary Components, the Campaign Mods, and the Optional Mods. There is also a folder for widescreen users that replaces the existing 1024x768 aircraft and campaign screens with 1440x900 images.
 
Primary Components
There are three primary components of the Superpack , separated by which SF2 game is required for its use. In each folder is nested the standard SF2 mod folder architecture (e.g. Objects, Sounds, Campaigns). Copy the contents of these folders to your SF2 “Mod” folder (e.g. c:\users\<username>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighters2 <xxx>) in the order listed:
1. 1_Common Files for all users
This includes decals, weapons, and an updated SQUADRONLIST.INI. Copy the contents of this folder first.
 
2. 2_for SF2V users
This includes the A-6A and A-6B. Copy the contents of this folder if you have SF2 Vietnam installed, as it requires the 3W A-6A LOD.
 
3. 3_for SF2NA users
This includes the A-6E, A-6E_79, and A-6E_90. Copy the contents of this folder if you have SF2 North Atlantic installed, as it requires the 3W A-6E and A-6E_79 LODs. This now includes Wrench’s skinpack by default (was an optional component pre 1.5).
 
Campaign Mods
These files modify the existing campaigns other than Vietnam or North Atlantic (which were included in the primary components).
4. 4_SF2 Campaigns for Full Merged Install
This is a slightly modified version of malibu43’s SF2 campaigns that integrate naval operations into the Desert theater. In addition to adding the A-6, the campaigns add other USN/USAF aircraft of the period. There is also an additional 1979 campaign called Desert Blaze, which adds the later hardware from SF2E and SF2NA, as well as incorporates Wrench’s F-111B Fleet Defense Fighter for people who have it installed.
The original SF2 campaign updates require a full 5 merged install.
 
5. 5_SF2E Campaigns for SF2E, SF2V, and SF2NA
This adds the A-6 to the original SF2E campaigns dated at least 1963. The campaigns add two USMC A-6 squadrons to the NATO side, as well as the requisite number of Su-7s to the OPFOR.
You should have at least SF2V and SF2NA installed with SF2E before adding the SF2E campaigns.
 
For Widescreen Users
Copy these folders if you have a widescreen monitor. These folders should be copied after all desired optional campaigns have been copied over, as this will overwrite campaign graphics as well as aircraft hangars and loadscreens.
 
Optional A-6 Mods
These are tweaks to the A-6s themselves, and are here to personalize and enhance your gameplay. Copy the contents these folders to your SF2 “Mod” folder. Order is not important, but some of the mods directly conflict with others and will not work properly if “stacked.” Using conflicting mods requires manual datafile manipulation which is covered in Section 5 (Manually modifying Data INI files). Compatibility issues are noted in each section.
 
6. Restricted Modexes
This mod limits the player-selectable USN modexes (side numbers) to 500-524 (400-524 for experimental green skin, per historical record), and USMC modexes to 00-24. I did this by making adjustments to the TEXTURESET.INI file. This does not appear to affect the modexes selected by the Campaign generator.
This mod has no compatibility issues with the other existing optional mods.
 
7. Pre-TRAM Anti-Collision Light Removal
The original A-6A did not have rotating anti-collision lights, as the first production aircraft pre-dated the FAA mandate for anti-collision lights in controlled airspace. To comply, the Navy and Marine Corps added a tail light (already modeled in the LOD), and for the ventral light they attached a light to the starboard side of the nosegear door. However, the lights were easily removed and pre-TRAM A-6s often flew operationally without them. This mod allows you to remove these anti-collision lights.
This mod should not be used with the A-6AB Flare Dispensers mod or the Robo-BN mod without manually modifying the A-6A_Data.ini and A-6B_Data.ini files.
 
8. A-6AB Flare Dispensers
This mod puts flares on the A-6A and A-6B. Original specifications called for only chaff, but Vietnam late war doctrine often called for the dispenser loadout to be one flare for every two chaff packs (as was documented in Stephen Coont’s Flight of the Intruder). This mod is highly recommended with the SF2E campaigns, as the A-6A would have likely been fitted with flares for a theater with such a heavy CAS role and increased air threat.
This mod cannot be “stacked” with the Pre-TRAM Anti-Collision Light Removal mod or the Robo-BN mod, but requires manual modification of the other mods instead.
 
9. Robo-BN (not for RAZBAM cockpits)
As seen in the Vietnam Air & Ground War Expansion Pack by eburger68 and malibu43, this mod drops the BN in the right seat. This mod requires that the cockpit.ini have the following line in the [CockpitSeat001] section:
OpenCockpit=TRUE
Due to the additional interior cockpit detail of the RAZBAM series of A-6 cockpits, this mod is incompatible with the RAZBAM cockpits. This mod cannot be “stacked” with the Pre-TRAM Anti-Collision Light Removal mod or the A-6AB Flare Dispensers mod.
 
Updated Weapons Loadouts and Employment
You may notice that the A-6 as of version 1.2 plays quite differently from the A-6 in previous versions. This is due in large part to malibu43’s outstanding research and contributions. For version 1.2, we have updated the weapons capabilities of all A-6 variants, removing E/O capability from the A-6A but adding the AGM-12C visually guided missile. Likewise, we added the restrictions on interior hardpoints and adjusted the Loadout files to reflect this, adding the large bomb loads to exterior pylons (and for the record, we did this prior to the May 2012 patch!). We researched historical loads and added them to the loadout files, and found that we needed to tweak some datafiles to make them work. Malibu43 tweaked the Rockeye and SnakeEye datafiles to provide proper quantities to units, and created a custom MER to allow for three Mk83 bombs to be mounted two in front, one in rear per historical procedure.
 
Additional Information
I made every effort to accurately represent the subtle changes between A-6 variants commensurate with their periods of operation. Additionally, I used actual A-6 BuNos (serial numbers), with independent BuNo pools for the A-6A, A-6B, and A-6E (TRAM variants use the A-6E pool). I have made every effort to avoid using BuNos of aircraft involved in mishaps involving fatalities, or combat losses resulting in KIA/MIA/POW. However, if I missed one that you catch, please let me know so that I can fix this in the next release. Likewise, if you have recommendations for object or detail placement, I would love to hear them.
Finally, while I made adjustments to a number squadron logos and added four additional squadrons, I don't have the time to improve the entire collection. If there is a logo you would like, please post a flat image (like a decal) so that I can directly convert it. Likewise, if you improve the logos or create your own, please submit them so that I can include them in a future release. Full credit will be provided.
 
Credits
Malibu43 was a major contributor for version 1.2, adding campaigns, custom loadouts, and custom weapon data to allow for historical employment. His research and contributions were many, which is why he is co-credited in this release.
I also received help from Wrench, and likewise used some of his skins, A-6E_79 avionics files, and templates. A big thanks goes out to Wrench.
Likewise, Wrench's A-6E TRAM Skinpack and his TRAM VA-75 skin has been included for both TRAM variants, and has been converted for use with the A-6E. VA-42 and VA-128 logos have been converted for default use from these skins. Original readme files and screenshots can be found in the Extras folder.
 
Additional Credits:
Ventral and Pylon Lights were created by RussoUK2004.
VAQ-134 decals are by Dave from his VAQ-134 EA-6B.
The decal placement, data and loadout files from the SF2V Air & Ground Expansion Pack were starting points for my work on
 
the A-6B, so thanks goes out to Malibu43 & eburger68.
Weapons included in this Superpack have been copied from Spectre8750's A-10C, FastCargo's F-15 Superpack, SF2V Air & Gound Expansion Pack by Malibu43 & eburger68, and the F-14 Superpack from The Mirage Factory (TMF).

Cockpit textures for the A-6 LODs were extracted from A-6 Intruder Walk Around by Lou Drendel, and from online screenshots of the RAZBAM A-6 cockpits for FSX in accordance with the FAIR USE Act.
A-6 Intruder Walk Around by Lou Drendel and A-6 Intruder In Action by Joe Michaels were both used extensively for research on proper markings and placement. Some of Lou Drendel’s outstanding artwork also found its way onto hangar screens and loadscreens.

Thank you all for your contributions.

McDonnell Douglas F4H-1 'Project High Jump' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
 
This is a simple mod of the stock F-4B to give a representation of one of the most famous Phantoms of all time - F4H-1 149449 that was used to set eight 'time-to-climb' records during early 1962 at NAS Brunswick, Maine and at NAS Point Mugu, California.
 
Most books on the Phantom make reference to this astonishing series of record-breaking flights (even more remarkable as they were production machines and not stripped down prototypes) and there are some good articles on the interweb too.
 
N.B. Stopwatch not included!
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-4B_PHJ folder into your Aircraft folder.
 
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-4B_PHJ folder into your Decals folder.
 
 
CREDITS
 
Thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.
 
And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

JASDF F-104J Starfighter, SF-2 Re-Optimization
= For SF2 (Any/All, but Full-4 Merged Prefered) =
 
*Note: Usable for any SF2 install with access to the F-104G*
*Note2: You should have made them Flyable as per the CA Knowledge Base article @
 
http://combatace.com/topic/57393-flyable-f-104s-for-sf2/.
Follow the instructions therein!
 
*Note3: this is NOT the full aircraft -- just some fixes. Read on...
 
---------
 
Some general cleanup and optimization of the EXCELLENT! JASDF F-104J by Spillone104 for SF2
 
Designed to be applied Directly =OVER= these 2 paks:
 
Original Aircraft Pak:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/11113-f-104j/
 
paulopanz's sf2 upgrade pak:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/11130-lockheedmitsubishi-f-104j-sf-2-upgrade/
 
It -MUST- be installed after these 2 are installed, right over paulo's pak.
 
Changes:
Latest data ini (as of Sept,2011)
Loadouts adjusted
Uses 'built-in' drop tanks and skins (sknis supplied)
All decals inis adjusted to have squadron badge at Level 1
All textureset inis have correct format for squadron listings.
Canopy operates via manual key (surprise! Shift/0)
New SF2-style hangar screen (photograph)
 
This will bring the flight model and avionics up to the latest patch level. All weapons used are (or should be!) stock in-game items. In the instructions below, are also the listings to use for the Squadronlist.ini, to add the Hikotai to the game.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
 
Clear Skies!

Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star, Skin & Ini Update Pak
For SF2, Any and All versions. (although Full-4 merged, with Expansion Pak 1 is HIGHLY reccomended for some weapons that might be needed!!)
 
This package contains Pakso's F-80C "Shooting Star" kinda-sorta updated for SF2.
 
This is a full aircraft package, with 3 skin/decal sets:
 
A 'base' USAF skin (my 416th FG with all the cool nose arts),
A new FAC (Colombian Air Force) skin,
and a 'Plane-Jane' generic natual metal, also tagged for USAF (easily used on others; this skin points to the 416th for some decals).
 
There are many more skins for the F-80 in the SF/Wo* downloads section. The cockpit is included.
 
Many of the 'tweeks' in the package are from several other mods, either by me or other folks I can't remember (oh! age!!). Other edits give you a manual animation keyed canopy (use Shift/0 to open/close), landing lights, a new SF2 UserList, updated avionics that give you the radar ranging gunsight. The main F-80C.ini is 'cleaned' out as to skin listings, so any others you may have will automatically add. A 'generic USAF' SF2 style hangar screen is included. It should be noted here, that although this is mostly for the FAC skin pak, it should be consided an SF2 update for the entire aircraft. Some changes have been made to the Flight Model, but it could use further refinements (flys ok on Normal)
 
The WW2 era bombs are =NOT= included, but the 2 drop tanks are and a 'new' rack for the HVARs is. The other items are available in the GunnyPak or if industrious, you can edit the loadout ini to use 3rdWire WW2 bombs from SF2:I Expansion Pak 1. Details are in the loadout ini (although TK neglected to add the AN/M65 1000 pounder..
 
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. There are some weapons notes in the "Notes and Other Ramblings" section that may be pertinent to those withOUT Expansion Pak 1
 
Happy Flying!

A-4Ku Skyhawk (Kuwait AF) Update Pak
 
= For SF2, Any & All (Full-4 Merged Reccomended) =
 
*NOTE: usable in any and all SF2 versions that have access to the A-4F_78 lod and A-7D cockpits. Hence, the Full-4 Merged Reccomendation*
 
Based "loosely" off dtmdragon's SF1 port.
 
Completely new skins, from a Home Grown Template ™, and all new BuNum* decals (in fact, as usual, ALL markings are decals). The 2 skins supplied are, well, identical! Excepting the "Free_Kuwait" skin will automatically start in 1991, for ODS, and have the "FREE KUWAIT" fuselage banner decal.
 
The cockpit used, while not correct, does have pretty much everthing working as the A-4M this is based on should; research has pointed to them having the APR-53 radar, so I added it back. Therefore, 100% accuracy is NOT claimed for this mod.
Loadouts are pretty standard, dumb bombs and so forth. The aircraft is LGB capable, but no evidence has turned up the KuAF used Paveways. Canopy operates via the Standard Animation Key ™, Shift/0. All loadouts use stock in-game items.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
 
Enjoy!

UPDATE
for
http://combatace.com...nval-sabre-pak/
 
 
Small adjustments:
 
- ammo capacity increased to 115 rpg
- new T-160 gun with correct muzzle velocity and ROF of 1500 rpm and no entry for tracer tga *
- shell ejection set to TRUE (only the links were retained inside)
- aircraft weight increased by 76 kg
- Cockpit fixes:
+ CGCockpitOffset=TRUE added
+ cockpit POV height offset set to 0
+ cockpit height position synchronized with pilot height position
 
 
* M39 cannon V0 and ROF are different . There was no 20-mm tracer ammo in Korea (only had API, HEI and a
 
practice round)
but they tipped API rounds into beeswax which gave a smoke trail when fired - wasnt perfect since the
 
smoke trail was short ranged.
Removing the tracer tga entry from the gun makes it a easy lookalike effect.
 
Have fun

Cessna O-1E BirdDog Pak -for 3rdWire O-1E-
= For SF2, Any and All
 
= Please Note: this is =NOT= a full aircraft mod. The LOD files are =NOT= included, as they are propritery of 3rdWire, and cannot be shared. So ... you =MUST= have one of the original 1stGen games - SFP1, WoV or WoE to extract the 4 needed LOD files from their Objects.cat. Instructions are in the 'To Install' section. =
 
This is a major overhaul of the stock, 1stGen O-1E BirdDog with a new, functioning cockpit, 4 skins and all new historically accurate serial numbers (albeit generic in nature, representing no particular unit; even the Canadian ones)
 
The skins are:
 
RCAF/CF CO-119 by ext (iirc)
OD Green by ???
USAF white (stock)
Pakistani Army Green (based on above, from Indo/Pak mod)
 
The RCAF/CF skin has all new decals, matching those used by Canada (*please seen "Notes" below for more on the CF serials*).
The OD Green skin from ?? has the "US Army" tag remade new, replacing that from my ancient L-19 mod, that was in the wrong font.
The USAF skin uses stock decals, as it has always done (F-100 serials).
Basically, other than stock National Insigia (and serials on the USAFWhite), all decals are new.
 
The cockpit is based off Kesselbrut's Yak-3 pit, HEAVILY modified to fit the O-1, with gauges repainted and converted/recalibrated to US standard (knots & feet). Some gauges do not work properly, but this is the closest we have (or more truthfully, the best I could
find). Lots of moves and other tweeks to both the data and cockpit ini make it fit like it kinda sorta shoulda.
 
Decal randomization is set to TRUE, so be at least at whichever patch level gave that to us.
The aircraft uses stock HVARs, but for fun I've included the M-60 underwing machine gun. So you can shoot stuff up. A revamped version of the 7.62mm M-60 gun is also included. A new Userlist.ini is supplied, with most of the Dog's users.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them -CAREFULLY-!! .... Also, see the "Notes" section for Vitally Important Information ™. Seriously ... you NEED to read it. In fact, after unzipping, you might want to read this document through before installing.
 
Happy Landings!

Grumman F-11F-1 Tiger
 
-- For SF2, Any and All --
 
This is an upgrade package of the F-11F by Fleet Defender & Co (originally released in 2005). All the skins and decals have been updated, with many new ones created. Ini edits fix the overbright landing light; other tweeks add new AI sections, place weapons more centered on the pylons, round count corrected, and some other minor adjustments. A new avionics ini is included, that adds the radar ranging gunsight. The cockpit used is the stock A-4B Skyhawk, which is available in all versions of SF2, excepting stand-alone SF2:I mods folders. Merged installs should have no issues whatsomever. The lead-computing gunsight statements have also been added.
 
4 skins and decals are included in this pak (all that I could find!). They are:
 
VA-156 (which became VF-111 in 1959)
VF-21
VF-33
VF-111
 
Skins are by various artists, hopefully listed (correctly!) in the Credits below. Several of the skins were repainted, from a partial template I created, to remove the painted on Modex numbers. These are now all decals.
 
Weapons included are just the 150 gallon drop tank; all others use stock in-game items.
I've added several Mission profiles that I'm sure the actual aircraft did NOT perform (Strike, CAS, Armed Recon, and Anti-Ship). They're there for the playability factor. If you don't want to perform them, just edit them out of the data ini.
 
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.
A full credits listing of those that worked on it, or contributed parts are below, and in the original release readme included.
 
Happy Landings!

Vought F7U-3M Cutlass (by Marcfighters)
- For SF2 (Any and All, but Full-4 Merged Prefered) -
 
This is an upgrade to the F7U Pak I released in 2008, and like the original, still a sort of Beta (Minus). This is simply because the aircraft model is/was NOT finished by Marcello. Details as to this rating are enumerated in the 'ori-2008_f7u_readme.txt' included.
 
It's suggested for a Full-4 merged, although it can be used in any version that has access to the F-4B, as that cockpit is referenced, and the A-4's 300 gallon drop tank. These should be available in all versions, perhaps excepting SF2I, as that lacks the F-4B as stock.
 
Several ini tweeks move this a little closer (well, in that respect) for SF2. For the change list, see the "Notes" section below.
 
2 skins/decal are included:
 
VA-116 (Gull Gray/White, from the original pak)
VF-124 (new, in 'natural metal')
 
I've also included the skin templates, just in case someone might want them (and IMPROVE them!!). Also included is the AIM-7A Sparrow & AIM-9A Sidewinder from the GunnyPak (in case you ain't go it). All other weapons/drop tanks used are stock in-game items.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... I've also included my original readme from the 2008 release -- might want to give a read. It states what's what with this, and why it's classed as a "Beta Minus" release, even now. So, again, please read it.
 
Good Hunting!

Lockheed S-3B Viking by FoxMonter
= For SF2, Any and All =
 
This is the (hopefully) full, compiled package of FoxMonter' S-3B "Viking" Sea Control Aircraft, upgraded/updated/fiddled-to-fit the SF2 series. I've assembled all the skin/decal sets I could find into one big lump.
 
Skins included in the pak are:
 
VS-21 Fighting Redtails +
VS-27 Sea Wolves *
VS-29 Dragonfires +
VS-30 Diamondcutters +
VS-30DS (Desert Storm) ?
VS-32 Maulers ?
VS-33 Screwbirds +
VS-33lo Screwbirds (Lo-Viz) +
VS-35 Blue Wolves *
VS-38 Red Griffins +
VX-1 Pioneers +
 
The suffix symbols designate the artist that created the skins/decals. The Key is below:
 
*=HrntFxr
+=Paul Nortness
?=IDK
 
All decals and decal inis have been fixed and updated to SF2 standards.
Several ini edits to the loadout, data and avionics also update them to SF2 standards (as of Aug, 2011). Wingfold and bombay animations have been seperated; bombay uses the standard Control/O (oh)key, and the wingfold is activated via the Shift/9 key. The cockpit is not equiped with an RWR display, so an 'audio-only' version is used. The flight model is unchanged.
A new, SF2-style photographic hangar screen is also included. I've also included several sounds called for in the data ini.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full,detailed, easy-to-follow install instructions.
 
With thanks to all the skinners, and FoxMontor for their work!

This is the NATO E-3 Components TCA,(USAF designated CT-49A) based on the 707-320. These aircraft are use for pilot training of the E-3 Component and for cargo and troop transport as needed. Three are operated by NATO and a total of 5 have ever flown under NATO colors. This mod includes a touch up of the OTAN skin found in the TMF E-3A release and decals for all 5 TCA's ever registered in Luxemborg. It also includes the Sentry cockpit to make it flyable, or if you have the 707-300 already you can drop the CT-49 skin in and it will work as well. I hope you enjoy!

This is The Mirage Factory's E-3A Sentry packaged as an individual aircraft for SF2 series. Included is a NATO skin by AmokFloo, the original 552d Flagship skin, and skins representing each squadron that flies the Sentry. Also included are decals for all NATO assigned aircraft and the Core 23 aircraft purchased by the USAF in the 70's. This should add some airborne eye candy to your installs, particularly Europe and the Middle East.
 
To install simply drop the folders into the correct areas of your mods folder.
 
Thank you to The Mirage Factory, AmokFloo, Dave and several others for their work on this project. i hope you enjoy this mod, and lets see how can form their favorite fighter on the wing long enough for a screenie!

This is a modification of the original F-4D LORAN by mppd and brought to Gen2 standard by Wrench. I merely added the parts that made it a LORAN bird to the stock F-4D_78 and added four skins and three units from my skin/decal pack. As with most of my main install this mod deals with the post Vietnam era to the end of the Cold War.
 
After involvement in Southeast Asia wound down in 1973 the ARN-92 LORAN Phantoms were sent to 3 units for the precision strike role. These were:
23d TFS 52d TFW Spangdahlem AB West Germany
457th TFS AFRES Carswell AFB TX
704th TFS AFRES Bergstrom AFB TX
 
This mod highlights these units in all tactical paint schemes used by the F-4.
Thank you for downloading this mod, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

EA-6B Prowler, for SF2 by Hawker, Agemmenon & 331KillerBee
 
= For SF2, Any and All (but designed for Full-5 Merged and/or SF2:NA) =
 
*It should work fine in non-SF2NA installs*
 
REMINDER: you =MUST= install this update package to the original download. The location URL and Full instructions ™, are below in the "To Install" section. It is also HIGHLY reccomended you read this entire document, after unzipping but BEFORE installing over the original download. There are a couple of extra steps you'll be taking...
 
The package builds further on the original SF2 conversion done by 331KillerBee, and expands the usable skin set "a bit."
Included is a mix of early Hi-Viz markings, and later Lo-Viz markings. They've been diferentiated by a "guesstimated" transition year of 1985, when the LoViz automaticlly appears. The HiViz skins are listed normally; the LoViz have the "lo" suffix. Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
 
Skins contained herein are:
 
HiViz -
 
VAQ-132 "Scorpions"
VAQ-134 "Garudas"
VAQ-140 "Patriots"
VMAQ-2 "Death Jesters" (later version?)
VMAQ-2 "Playboys" (early - folder is called Playboy)
 
Lo-Viz -
 
VAQ-130lo "Zappers"
VAQ-135lo "Black Ravens"
VAQ-136lo "Guantlets"
VAQ-138lo "Yello Jackets"
VAQ-139lo "Cougars"
VMAQ-1 "Banshees"
 
 
The folder and main ini have been renamed "EA-6B_AH" (for Agemmnon & Hawker) to keep this aircraft seperate from the stock TW EA-6B version that comes with SF2:NA. To further differentiate it from the 3W model, on the Aircraft Selection Drop-down, it will read as
"EA-6B Prowler ICAP II" (KB's work -not mine!)
 
The install method being used here will cause you to do a few more steps =BEFORE= installing, but they are all outlined in the "To Install" section. The new carrier lines for SF2NA have been added, but for End Users without SF2NA, it should pose no issues for use. The earlier Game Engine will simply ignore them. You will still be able to set them for carrier usage via the mission editor or campaigns.
 
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.
No, seriously ... unzip this archive and =READ= everything first!!! It's exceptionly important you do so....and equally important, to follow the instructions exactly as I've given them to you!
 
With thanks to all the skinners and ini dancers to kept this old mod from disappearing! KB's original readme is included, as are one or two from the skin downloads.
 
Happy Jamming!

KA-6D Refuling Intruder, for SF2 by The Intruders
= For SF2, Any and All (meaning: Full-5 Merged and/or SF2:NA) =
 
This is a semi-complete mod, with almost everything needed to unzip and install. All aircraft inis, lods, new drop tank, etc are included. However ... the cockpit, other than an RWR bmp is NOT! You'll have to supply your own, as outlined in posts on the CA Message Boards. You must also have 1stGen WoV or WoE in your possession to extract the necessary cockpit parts to install to this mod. All I've suppled are the updated inis, and the single RWR bmp (that replaces the dash clock). You must also have the original 1stGen Download of this aricrat to install this Pak to. See "To Install" for more detailed instructions. And follow them to the letter!
 
A wealth of skins are included in the pak; pretty much ALL the 1stGen KA-6 skins I could find. Most, if not all, are the work of AllenJB & Paul Nortness. You'll have, in Full Color:
 
VA-35 (USS Nimitz?)
VA-35cs (USS Coral Sea)
VA-42 (USS Forestall)
VA-52 (USS Kitty Hawk)
VA-65 (USS Independence)
VA-65e (USS Enterprise)
VA-115 (USS Midway)
VA-128 (no ship listed)
VA-145 (USS Ranger)
 
In Lo-Viz markings:
 
VA-35lo (USS Saratoga)
VA-42lo (USS Forestall)
VA-52lo (USS Kitty Hawk)
VA-75lo (USS John F. Kennedy)
VA-85lo (USS Enterprise)
VA-95lo (USS Abraham Lincoln)
VA-176lo (no ship listed)
VA-185lo (USS Midway)
VA-196lo (USS Coral Sea)
 
All Lo-Viz skins have a default start date of 1985 (my best guess as to the date-of-transition. Feel free to correct, and post the actual date). Decal radiation is set to TRUE for all skins, due to they're extreamly low amount (4-5 Modex/BuNum) per aircraft.
 
All inis have been brought as close as possible to the latest (3/2012 and/or SF2:NA) standards. The FM remains untouched, but small changes in the Data INI add manually folding wings (Shift/9), and I've adjusted the auto deployment speeds for the refueling drogue. The avionics have also been slightly adjusted.
Again, there have been some statement added that may only work with installs patched to 3/2012 and/or SF2:NA. Use in other, earlier dated installs is at the End Users risk.
 
It should be noted, as AFR is NOT supported in-game, this aircraft mostly exists as "Eye Candy", to be seen parked on deck, airfield ramps, and just flying around turning jet fuel into noise.
 
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.
No, seriously ... unzip this archive and =READ= everything first!!! It's exceptionly important you do so....

SF2 Korean War Era AD-4NL Skyraider (by MontyCZ)
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
This is an SF2/SF2NA upgraded version of my previously released AD-4NL Skyraider. It is designed to replace all my older versions for use in the SF2 environment.
 
This mod represents AD-4NL's from VC-35 "Night Hecklers". The squadron was deployed in various "Dets" of 2-4 aircraft aboard almost all USN Carriers during Korea.
 
The aircraft is fully carrier-capable, with all the SF2NA coding for deck 'parking'.
Skins are still in bmp format, I didn't bother converting them to jpg. Most markings are decals and Modex/BuNums are Randomized. BuNums are accurate for the aircraft variant depicted, but not for the actual ones used by this squadron, as I couldn't run them down; consider them 'generic' for this purpose.
 
All the necessary weapons, effects, sounds and etc are included, as is the NEW Skyraider cockpit by Dels.
Standard Animations keystrokes are used for the canopy (Shift/0) and wingfold (shift/9)
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. There is important information on Night Operations (what VC-35 specalized in)
You may consider this 'Ver.3' of the AD-4NL.

SF2 AD2/3 Skyraider
 
= For Your Korean War Flying Pleasure =
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged, (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: you MUST have SF2:V as part of your merged install. This aircraft references the A-1H lod from SF2V,
and will =NOT= work without it.*
 
This is a mod of the 3rdWire A-1H Skyraider, to the earlier AD-2/3 version as used by the USN and USMC
during the Korean War. It was thrown together as an experiment some long time ago, and I thought you all would like to have it, "just because". The aircraft is supplied with 2 skins:
 
VA-35, "Black Panthers" US Navy, USS Leyte 1950 *
VMA-121 "Wolf Raiders", USMC, Pyongteak, 1950-53
 
This is a complete aircraft (well, minus the Stock Lod ™ of course!), with a new radar-equipped cockpit
by Dels. Skins are still in bmp format, making it usable in all SF2 merged game installs with access to the
A-1H.lod. The skins are new from my Home Grown Templates ™, in the 1950s Dark Gloss Navy Blue; all
markings are decals and are Randomized. BuNums are accurate for the aircraft variant depicted, but not for
the actual ones used by the squadrons; consider them 'generic' for that purpose.
The 'USMC50s' pilot figure, AN/APS-4 radar pod and engine sounds are included. The only weapon included is the 120 gallon drop tank. Bombs and rockets reference those WW2 units from the GunnyPak, and are NOT
included (simple edits can make the stock 3W ones usable, if one has Expansion Pak 1).
 
Wingfold is NOT activated, but the canopy is. Use the Usual Suspect (shift/0) to open and close it. All
lighting is hisotrically correct.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Please.
