SAC Twilight : KC-10A Extender(Marcfighters)
This is a redux of the Marcfighters KC-10 mod. It incorporates each wing that used the KC-10A in the last few years of SAC service also included is a El Dorado Canyon skin. While we do not currently have this operation in the game, I was able to find pics of ten Extenders in the UK in the middle of April, 1986. Ten KC-10As were used in the operation. you do the math.
Installation:     Unlike many of my mods, i reccommend just deleting the previous mod if you have it on hand. This is a vast leap over the older skin set, and covers all available tankers rather than just 6 for each camo style. Allowing overwrite should not hurt anything, just dont complain about clutter if you go that path.
                          Otherwise, like always, unzip and install into any SF2 mod folder.
Included:    
    4 skins for the 2d BMW, 22d ARW, 68th ARW, and Operation El Dorado Canyon with historical serial numbers
    multi camo decal sets for these skins
    nose art as appropriate
Known Issues
    the model and flight model are the same that Marcfighters included in the original (SF1) ODS mod. it was meant as eyecandy, and had no pit. as released i have commented out the cockpit, but had a sitting on the nose pit so i could load it in game to check work. there are also no windows for the cockpit, the entire fuselage is one piece (cause marking limitations)
    it is sluggish, and flies nose down.
    given there is a newer model known to be in the pipeline (eta two weeks), i am putting the lipstick on this pig but not working too much ini improvement. over 3/4 of the work on this should transfer easy to the new model when it comes comments on how she flies will be referred to this warning.

SF2 F-86L "Lima" Sabre Dog Revamp Pack    6/9/2020
"Quarantine Approved - Essential Mods"
= For SF2 (Any & All) =
This package is designed to replace the original F-86L from the pack available from the folowing URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/10286-sf2-f-86dl-v10/
by suhjake from 2009
It is =NOT= necessary to have the original mod pack, as this =WILL= replace it in total. Everything reusable from that pack will be included with this. If you do have the original installed, you will probably wish to remove, move, or delete it. Overwriting may cause conflicts.
As the Lima's were mostly used by USAF Air National Guard units, that is what's covered here. The following units are depicted herein:
146th FIS PA ANG (57-60)
190th FIS ID ANG (59-64)
194th FIS, CA ANG (58-64)
199th FIS, HI ANG (58-61)
3550th CCTW, Moody AFB, GA (late 50s/early 60s)
3555th CCTW, Perin AFB, TX (late 50s/early/60s)
and a
USAF Silver (Generic) -a blank skin for other skinners to use. It does have the 'day glo' panels on the wings, fuselage and tail.
As only the 194th is listed in the stock squadron list ini, it uses a level=1 decal to activate the displayed squadron name on the Loading/Skin selection screen.
All of the Original Skins (PA ANG, 3550 & 3555 CCTWs) have been completely redone, although they remain in bmp format. All other skins are brand new for this package. 26 all new serial and buzz numbers, where used, have been created. While correct for this aircraft; all numbers are from the late-production Ds that were converted to Ls, they should be considered 'generic' in nature. State name identifiers and squadron markings are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins. 
All weapons, pilots, etc are included. A backup copy of the original Data ini is already provided, as this new one has many modifications and adjustments. 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... they can be accessed after unzipperizing. Please follow the 'usual instructions' 
Happy Landing!

SF2 F-86D Sarbre Dog Revamp Pack    5/19/2020
"Quarantine Approved - Essential Mods"
= For SF2 (Any & All) =
This package is designed to replace the original F-86D/L pack available from the folowing URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/10286-sf2-f-86dl-v10/
by suhjake from 2009
It is NOT necessary to have the original mod pack, as this WILL replace it in total. Everything reusable from that pack will be included with this. On a side note, the F-86L "Lima" Sabre will be covered in a a seperate release. Even though the folder is named "F-86D-45" it represents =ALL= production blocks of the Sabre Dog, for those users included in the mod package.
The following units are depicted herein:
101st Hikotai (56-68) - JASDF
16th FIS (51-59) - PACAF, Misawa Japan
37th FIS (53-58) - Ethan Allen AFB, VT
97th FIS (51-55) - Wright-Patterson AFB, OH
431st FIS "Red Devils" (55-58) - Wheelus AFB, Lybia
469th FIS (53-58) - McGhee Tyson AFB, TN
520th FIS (54-55) - Geiger Field, Spokane WA
146th FIS Pa ANG (57-60) -they used the F-86L congruently with the F-86D
and a
USAF Silver (Generic) -a blank skin for other skinners to use.
All of the Original Skins have been completely redone, although they remain in bmp format. Several of the orignal decals have been reused, but modified from level 2 to level 0 (tail squadron markings). 26 all new serial and buzz numbers have been created. The 101 Hikotai and the 97th FIS & 431st do NOT use this same pool of numbers. They needed they're own for reasons that will become apparent during game play. The 431st is the ONLY unit in the pack that is listed on the stick squadronlist ini, and is tagged accordingly.
Most marking are decals; in some cases wing and squadron marking had to be painted on due to mesh issues (tail). Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins. On the individual number lists, any number marked with a star (*) is 100% correct for that unit.
 All weapons, pilots, etc are included. A backup copy of the original Data ini is already provided, as the new one has many modifications and adjustments. 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... they can be accessed after unzipperizing. Please follow the 'usual instructions' 
Happy Landing!

F-5GN Sea Tiger (What if)
*****************************************************
This mod is made for SF2.
----------------------------------------------------------
I. History (fiction)
In 1969 there were decisive elections in West Germany. In reality, the Social Democrats won.
A new foreign policy followed and a period of reduction of tensions between East and West.
WHAT IF, the other side had won?
What if the conservatives had won and Franz Joseph Strauß (an old bavarian Commie eater) would have become Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany?
And so it starts.
In 1969 Strauß was elected as Chancellor. A period of rising tensions between East and West
 started. To protect the sea lanes between Europe and America the west german parliament Bundestag decided to build up a west german carrier force consisting of 3 carriers.
The american gouvernment was pleased and offered to sell 3 carriers of the Essex class (subclass Ticonderoga).
The first ship which was handed over was CV-34 Oriskany in 1969. Renamed in R-22 Theodor Heuss it was core of the first west german carrier group. 1973 CV-38 Shangri-La became R-23 Heinrich Lübke (later renamed in Walter Scheel) and two years later CV-45 Valley Forge became R-24 Gustav Heinemann.
The americans offered A-4 Skyhawk and F-8 Crusader as planes for the carrier group. The Bundesmarine accepted the A-4, but rejected the Crusader, because the Bundesmarine wanted a more multi role capable plane, not only a pure fighter.
At this moment Northrop entered the competition and offered a navalised version of the brand new F-5E Tiger. Under the designation F-5GN (German Navy) it should be produced in America and Germany. The west german government accepted the offer and the serial production of the F-5GN started. During flight tests on the way the US Marines decided, that it would be a good idea to replace their old F-8 Crusaders with F-5GN planes. So the F-5GN became a Marine plane.
Later, when the Marines retired their attack carriers the surviving F-5GN were transfered to Top Gun school.
The F-5GN stayed in west german service till 1995. Then it was replaced by F-31 Mustang II.

Reworked pack of RF-101A and C VooDoo.
Generally old good VooDoo in new dresses.
There are big changes in FM model thanks to baffmeister  in data.ini files - so Backup your original file. You might not like it.
 
In game you will find new aircrafts under names
*RF-101A VooDoo
*RF-101C VooDoo '58
*RF-101C VooDoo '66
note that RF-101C '58 uses non-RWR - VooDoo A cockpit.
 
All new skins in 3072x3072 resolution. New bump maps and specular maps. also in 3072.. plus decals to cover A and C models serial numbers.
Pack contains several skin sets for both models. With all research, I was trying to be correct as much as possible.
RF-101A have also one skin/decal set which contains few decal skin sets to cover experimental camo trials conducted in mid 60s. 
Regarding colorful aircraft serial numbers: 
54-1513 some say it was dark green some that really black. more info goes towards black so I painted it black (like Rolling Stones in 1966)
54-1514 first was painted similar as represented in this pack, then it was repainted with adding some brown colors.
54-1512 green/black camo with added brown during tests. 
All this skin set with experimental camo trial is quite complicated and hard to put correctly in-game but I hope it will work fine for you.
I did not include skin sets for VooDoo operated over Vietnam. This will come in a separate package. Eventually. One day.

All new decals consisting of serial numbers for block 20-35 of A version and block  45-75 for C version. 

Backup your original RF-101 Folders. Also Decals!
 
Credits:
Original models ErikGen
yakarov - skins / decals / some small ini tweak 
baffmeister -new flight model.
Soulfreak - original skin for an extra thing. 
 
Have Fun.
May the VooDoo be with you.

North American RF-100A for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
This is a very simple mod of the stock North American F-100A to create an RF-100A 'placeholder' until something better comes along.
You'll need to have Expansion Pack 2 to access the F-100A.
This little known Cold War warrior today can lay claim to being the world's first supersonic recconnaisance aircraft and I'd encourage you to read what you can about the handful of RF-100A's starting here;
http://www.spyflight.co.uk/f100.htm
Now I'm not a 3D modeller so I've done the best I could using MiG-21 recon pods to create the broadly similar shapes seen on the real RF-100A. To get them to load I've classified them as non-jettisonable fuel tanks so don't worry about dropping your tanks on the return dash - your precious wet film will still be there for the CIA boffins to examine. The RF-100A's carried no armament so I've deleted the 20mm cannon and removed the gun smoke but unfortunately the gun troughs are still there but you'll soon forget about that.
 
INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the RF-100A folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the RF-100A folder into your Decals Folder.
3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the SLICK_CHICK folder into your Weapons folder.
That's it!
 
CREDITS
As always, big thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.
A thank you to whoever created the MiG-21 Recon Pod and I hope you don't mind it being used here.
And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
Regards

Installation:
-------------------------------------------------------------
I recommend that you back up your mod folder (or just the Effects, \Objects\Aircraft\F-111* folders). I just make a copy the mod folder, try the mod, if I like it, I delete the backup. If I don't, I delete the new/updated mod folder and rename the old backup/copy back to the original names to reset to my original setup.
* To install, simply unzip and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder (the uncompressed "Effects and Objects" folders only) to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite.
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Europe\
Note: You should be able to install this mod into any SF2 series, it doesn't have to be StrikeFighter2 Europe.
* To remove, simply delete the active "Effects and Objects" folders and replace with the back up copies you made prior to the install.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Add F111 SoundList
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lastly, Read the "Add F111 SoundList.txt" readme file on updating your your "Flight\SoundList.ini" file with the custiom F-111 sound files included in this pack.

F-106A Delta Dart
The Convair F-106 Delta Dart was the primary all-weather interceptor aircraft
of the United States Air Force from the 1960s through to the 1980s. Designed
as the so-called "Ultimate Interceptor", it proved to be the last dedicated
interceptor in U.S. Air Force service to date. It was gradually retired during
the 1980s.

F-106A Project Six Shooter 1972
In 1972 F-106As were upgraded in Project Six Shooter that involved fitting
the F-106 with a new canopy without metal bracing which greatly improved pilot
visibility. Also added was an optical gunsight, and provision for a single M61
Vulcan 20 mm cannon. The M61 Vulcan had 650 rounds of ammunition in the center
weapons bay and it replaced the AIM-26 Super Falcon or Genie.
QF-106A Drone Pacer Six
Between 1 June 1983 and 1 August 1988 the Delta Darts were incrementally retired
and sent to the Military Storage and Disposition Center in Arizona.When the need
for a high performance Full Scaled Aerial Target Drone was required the USAF began
withdrawing Delta Darts from storage. Starting in 1986, 194 (F-106A and B) of the
surviving surplus aircraft were converted into target drones and these were
designated QF-106As and used for target practice vehicles under the Pacer Six Program
by the Aerial Targets Squadron. The last was destroyed in January 1998.The drones
were still capable of being flown as manned aircraft, such as for ferrying to a test;
during the test they were flown unmanned.The QF-106 replaced the QF-100 Super Sabre
drone; the last shoot down of a QF-106 (57-2524) took place at Holloman AFB on 20
February 1997 after which the QF-106 was superseded by the QF-4S and QF-4E Phantom II
drone.

SF2 Cessna 206H Pack by Wingzero      2/29/2020
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended, plus Exp 1)
This is a full revamp, for SF2, of the SF/Wo* Cessna 206H "Stationair" by wingzero, originally released in 2010.
This mod includes 2 skins:
No.7 Squadron, Uruguaian Air Force (FAU) -start date 1998
USAF - this is a "What If..." skin, painted to match the T-41s used for USAF training and liason.
All, if not most, markings are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE. As a new 'homegrown' templague had to be created, it's included for skinners wishing to create any other users, or other types of skins. A userlist and loadout ini have been built. Please see the "Notes" section for more details.
In-game, on the Aircraft selection drop-down menu, you'll find it as:
U-206H Stationair
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. One mnight also peruse the "Notes" section for things that might be interesting. The original release had NO readme, but I used the text from the SF1 announcement thread. It's included within the main aircraft's folder.
Happy Landings!

SF2 RA-5C Vigilante Pack v.2       9/27/2019
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
This is a revamp of Julhiem's RA-5C "Vigilante" carrier based recon aircraft. It has has several updates/upgrades/changes to make it more SF2 compliant. This is the complete aircraft, with everything included. If you have any earlier version(s) it is suggested you delete BOTH the aircaft and decals subfolders, as this version replaces them it toto. Or at least, remove or store them elsewhere.
The aircraft comes with 6 skins, including the original released single skin. These skins are:
RVAH-1 'Smokin' Tigers (USS Independence 1965, CVW-7, SEA, first combat cruise)
RVAH-5 'Savage Sons' (USS Ranger CVW? 19??) **
RVAH-6 'Fleurs' (USS Kittyhawk 1971, CVW-11 SEA)
RVAH-7 'Peacemakers' (USS Ranger, 1978/79, WesPac, Squadron's Final Cruise)
RVAH-9 'Hoot Owls' (USS Saratoga 1967, CVW-3 Med cruise)
RVAH-11 'Checkertails' (USS constellation, CVW-9 SEA 1971/72)
**= original release skin
Almost all markings are decals, excepting some painted-on squadron insignia. Serial/BuNums are 100% historically accurate (by unit) Decal randomization is TRUE. Skins remain in bmp format, as they're not that large. The SF2 "date switch" is active.
The canopy opens/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero).
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. See "Notes" for list of changes. 
If there's anything missing or "off", please let me know and I'll try to find it. This mod got lost in the shuffle with several other large projects.

Happy Landings!

SF2 F-4G(B) USN Pack              8/28/2019
-For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Reccomended)
This is a NEW aircraft, the F-4G(B) for the US Navy. There were F-4Bs modified with a automatic carrier landing system during their Oct 1965-June 1966 deployment in South East Asia aboard USS Kitty Hawk. They were painted in an experimental green camoflauge, as were many other aircraft of CVW-11 in this time frame.
Once upon a time, I know we had this aircraft for 1stGen SF, but have been unable to locate it. So, I rebuilt it, and now present it you all to enjoy. This is a complete aircraft, based off the F-4B_65, so make use you have this bird in your inventory. This aircraft uses all stock 3w items.
The skin is in jpg format, in 2048x, from Sundowner's templates. 12 100% historically accurate Bunum decals are included. Decal randomization is TRUE. This aircraft is given a full year's operational time frame, "1965-1966" in the data ini, even if not historically correct (read: easier). New, aircraft specific hangar and loading screens are provided.
Is should be noted, this mod was started in 2011, and got lost. I do NOT remember who created the original skin I worked from, or the decals (which have been refreshed to remove ghosting around the edges), So I cannot take full credit for this mod (see "Notes" for more speculations).
When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop down, you'll see:
F-4G(B) Phantom II (USN)
This will differentiate it from the USAF F-4G Wild Weasel, and make sure you know it's a Navy bird.
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions.

Douglas EB-66C Destroyer Update Pak  (Ver.2)                          8/16/2019
= For SF2, Any & All =
This is an update/upgrade/Remod of my 2013 pack. This is considered to be "version 2.0" of the EB-66C Destroyer ELINT/Escort Jammer aircraft. It it designed to replace, in total the earlier package from August 2013. If you have the original pack, you are instructed to delete it completly (aircraft, decals, and all), as this one has some major imporvements.
This remod pack contains 2 skins:
41st TEWS, 355th TFW, PACAF, Takhli RTAFB, mid-60s thru 1974-ish (RC tail code)
39th TEWS, 36th TFW, USAFE, Spangdahelm AB 1969-73 (JN tail code)
Both are new, and are (hopefully!) in the correct SEA 3-tone camoflague colors. 
All NEW replacement serial number decals were created. Both skins use a pool of 36 100% historical serial numbers. As only 36 of these aircraft were built (in one block of 30 and a second of 6) it was a easy job. While totaly accurate in nature, the 36 numbers are not representative of individual aircraft of any unit or squadrons that used the EB-66C (other than by random happenstance). Decal randomization is TRUE.
As with the other B-66 mods, a heavily edited cockpit designed to 'fit' within the existing canopy framing is included. Avionics have been upgraded with new jammers, chaff dispensers, and so forth. This aircraft carries =NO= offensive weapons, or defensive guns. FLY ACCORDINGLY!!! A small modification to the data ini also allows for carrying external jammer pods & chaff dispensers in place of the drop tanks.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them! See "Change Log" in the Notes section for a full-ish list of what's been, well, changed!
Happy SAM Dodging!!

Douglas RB-66C & WB-66D Destroyer Update Pak                      8/12/2019
= For SF2, Any & All =
This package contains 2 of Bunyap's 1stGen aircraft brought up to a more SF2-ish
standard. Also, they seemed to be missing from the SF2 downloads, and I thought
it was time to bring them back. They are the:
RB-66C Destroyer (Recon & ELINT) aircraft
WB-66D Destroyer (Weather Recon, ELINT) aircraft
The units/skins provided herein are:
RB-66C:
42nd TRS, 10th TRW (USAFE)
19th TRS, 66th TRW (USAFE)
WB-66D: 
9th TRS, 363rd TRW (ConUS+)
All markings are decals, excepting the 42nd tailfin flash. All serial and buzz
number decals (30 for the RB & 36 for the WB) are 100% historicaly correct. They
represent the full production runs for =BOTH= aircraft. The 2 skins for the RB
use the same pool of decals. A new Hi-Rez replacement skins were created from
HGBN's templates. The skins are in jpg format. As with the B-66 and EB-66, a
highly modified cockpit is supplied to 'fit' within the visible model.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are
included. Please read them! See "change List" in Notes for what's been
modified/changed/adjusted.

SF2 RB-57E Canberra "Patricia Lynn" (Remod)              7/25/2019
= For SF2:V ( or Any & All SF2s, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
*note: this mod was started for a CA member in July, 2018. I just recently found it in my archives. Figured I might as well release it!*
This is a complete rebuild of Anjundair's B-57E, and an update to Migbuster's RB-57E "Patricia Lynn" package for SF2:V.
The aircraft has 3 full skin and decal sets; all serial number decals are 100% historically correct. These skins depict the 460th TRW, Det 1 at various times in their deployments to Southeast Asia:
Natual Metal (1963)
Night 1 (1966)
Night 2 (1970)
The skins use the SF2 'date switch', and marking change as needed as per the year in use. Skins remain in their bitmap format.
The FM has been rebuild using the stock 3W B-57 as a base. The avionics have been upgraded, and you'll now have a full time LLTV set up. As there is no accurate B-57 cockpit, the F-4B is used as a stand in, due to it having scope to display the radar, TFR and LLTV (yes, we know there actually wasn't one in the front cockpit). This (gaming) aircraft remains fully combat capable, unlike the Real Life (tm) versions. See Notes for more information.
When in game, you'll see
RB-57E Canberra (AJ)
on the aircraft selection dropdown window.The "AJ" credits Ajundair, even though there are no other RB-57s available.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them! If you have any earlier versions of this aircraft mod, it is =HIGHLY= suggested you delete the aircraft and decals folders, as THIS mod replaces everything. End users (tm) might also find the Notes section enlightning and informative.
Good Hunting!

***Note: Found in the Archives!!! This was done and should have been uploaded in early 2018!! But I guess  never got around to doing so for whatever reasons. As I don't use my SF2:V mods folder much, there may be other birds that have been hiding in the hangars. I'll be more careful in checking from now on!! ***

SF2 F-84B Thunderjet, 49th FIS, 14th FG Pack       7/7/2019
-For SF2, Any and All (Full Merged Reccomended)
This is a NEW aircraft, the Republic F-84B Thunderjet, depicted as when it first became operational in 1947. It it based on (one of) RussoUK's F-84s. It represents aircraft of the 49th FS (JP), 14th FG from 1947 through 1949. The 49th was the first USAF squadron to recieve and deploy the Thunderjet into active service (along with it's sister squadrons the 37th and 48th).They served in the "day and good weather" Air Defense role of the Eastern United states from Dow AFB, Maine.
The skin is in jpg format, and 26 serial and Buzz numbers decals were created. Decal Randomization is TRUE.  On the number list (individual aircraft serial) drop down, any serials marked with a star (*) has been positively identified as having served in the 49th. The others, while some DID serve in other squadrons of the 14th FG, they could not be identified to any of the 3 squadrons. Others, for the B model, are generic in nature. 
A NEW late 1940s pilot figure is included, as is the "f84" jet sound. Drop tanks, WW2 era bombs, rockets, etc are NOT. You should have these already.
On the Aircraft selection dropdown menu you'll see:
F-84B ThunderJet (RUK)
(This is to differentiate Russ's T-Jet from the as yet uncompleted FastCargo version; if it every gets done!). 
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. 

Happy Landings!
