SF2 MiG-25 Foxbats
This mod package contains a collection of MiG-25 Foxbats, all converted and updated to SF2 standards. Included in the package are all the weapons, effects, pilots, and seats that you will need to install and use any of the aircraft in this package.
These aircraft can be used in SF2, SF2E, SF2V, SF2I, or SF2NA. To install and use them, you should ensure that your SF2 installation is patched to at least the Dec2009 patch level. See below for installation instructions.
Those familiar with the original MiG-25 Pack assembled by Dave (USAFTML) for SFP1 will rightly recognize that this updated package simply builds on the work of Dave and the entire team behind that original release. (The original ReadMe from that release is included here.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
To install, simply drag the \Effects and \Objects folders to your SF2 Mods Folder (NOT the folder that the game installs to). By default your Mod Folder should be located here:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\ThirdWire\[Game]\
Windows Vista: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[Game]\
Windows 7: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[Game]\
...where [username] is the account you log into within Windows and [Game] is the name of the particular game mod folder that you're moving the files to. If the aircraft are not showing up in your Single Mission Aircraft menu, then you didn't install all the bits correctly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aircraft & Nations Included
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following aircraft are included in this package:
MiG-25P Foxbat-A - Interceptor
MiG-25R Foxbat-B - Recon version
MiG-25RB Foxbat-B - Recon/Bomber version
MiG-25PU Foxbat-C - 2 seat trainer
MiG-25PD Foxbat-E - Interceptor (updated)
MiG-25PD Foxbat-E - Interceptor (updated), Export version
MiG-25BM Foxbat-F - Anti-radar version
The following nations are represented:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Notes on Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This package is largely an updating of the original MiG-25 Foxbat Pack to SF2 standards. I will not claim 100 percent technical and historical accuracy for every aspect of every aircraft, but I did consult a number of sources while preparing this package.
Several things are worth noting:
- landing gear for all aircraft is fixed, so aircraft no longer bounce
and teeter around on the ground or wander off into the weeds (this has
long been a pet peeve of mine with these aircraft, and I think I have
finally fixed the underlying problem);
- brake chute animation for the PD and PD Export version has been disabled,
as the animation appears to be partially broken, leaving the chute door
open during flight (strangely, this problem does not affect the other
models);
- all engines now have fake afterburner nodes (if you don't like their
appearance, you're welcome to substitute your own or turn them off);
- all aircraft use standard SF2 shadow statements (the included .SHD files
actually spawn those dreaded tractor beams, whereas a simple SF2 shadow
configuration does not).
It should also be noted that the skins included here are quite dated. If anyone is so inspired to create a new set of skins and decals (Paulopanz, I'm looking at you...), please contact me at CombatAce.com. I would be happy to incorporate a new set of skins and decals into an updated version of this package.

Credits & Acknowledgements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This package largely consists of work done by others and released previously in other packages. All I did was assemble the package, update the bits to SF2 standards, and make minor adjustments and tweaks here and there (discussed above).
Primary credit goes to the team responsible for the original MiG-25 Foxbat package for SF1:

Moonjumper
Also included in this package are skins or decals done by the following individuals:
HrntFixr
Sidewinder86
Gepard
Wrench
The cockpits used in this package were built by:
Paladrian (MiG-21 cockpit)
Boopidoo & Badger the Bad (Su-15 cockpit)
Finally, I used a tweaked version of the fake afterburner node effect introduced by Spectre8750.
If I have neglected to credit anyone, please let me know -- it will be fixed ASAP. A copy of the original ReadMe for the MiG-25 Foxbat Pack for SFP1 is included in the same directory as this ReadMe. Any errors in this package are mine alone, so please do report bugs and inaccuracies to the CombatAce.com forum.

Added loadable GP-9 gun pod for PF, PFV and PFM.
This pack inludes nearly all official Thirdwire MIG-21 models as flyable jets with
cokcpits in most complete form what my modding knowledge allows. All in easy
install form. I am not author of any 3d pits, FMs, sounds. All is what i
downloaded from Combatace or made by Thirdwire. I want to thank to original authors
of included files and this nice sim. Hope it is ok to reuse their work to
provide really complete, up-to-date and easy to install Mig-21 package. I was
always sad with that great pits available and terrible way to install it into
latest ptached games and it is always missed something. Loading screens, loadout
picture, good FM and so on... Now with latest patches FMs are usable and nicely
flyable so i used it as base FMs for pack.
This pack was done with combined/merged SF2/Europe/Vietnam/Israel games.
If your single game install missing model that cause problem, just delete its directory
in Objects/Aircraft folder. Probablby PFV is included only in Vietnam.
Pack contains folowing stuff:
*****************************
Nearly every official MIG-21 flyable with pit for SF2 line of games. I corrected
some errors in pits, Used latest TW patches as base for FM fat files
with tweaks in engine (thrust for each model, spool up time, radar, weight). FM
is not touched and i think it flies now ok with latest patch. Diferent sounds for
each engine model is included with Mig RWR sounds. Better Mig pilots too. Each
Mig-21 has loading and hangar screen and camouflage sample patch with loadout
picture. All includes corresponding serial numbers to choose from. I made
Numbers.lst for Arab, Czechoslovakia, East Germany and Poland by hand.
Strike Fighters 2
MIG-21F
MIG-21PF
MIG-21PFV
MIG-21PFM
MIG-21MF
MIG-21bis
Notes:
******
MIG-PFM has added LCOS gunsight to be able to use gunpod in fight. More realistic and
distictive heaters sounds are included too.
Instalation:
************
Simply unpack content of folder "StrikeFighters2" into each your SF2 game mods folder
located in your c:\Users\<YourUserName>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\.
For example for complete/merged game install, copy content to each this folder:
c:\Users\<YourUserName>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2
c:\Users\<YourUserName>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe
c:\Users\<YourUserName>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Israel
c:\Users\<YourUserName>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Vietnam
Sure paths can be different on your system. This is how it is on my Windows 7.
Also copy files after you run all games at least once. Otherwise game overwrite
modded files with original ones at initialization and you dont see Migs as flyable.
Optional files:
Simply unpack content of folder "StrikeFighters2" into each your SF2 game mods folder and
allow overwrite files.
_BetterCockpits Contains hires cockpit textures.
_EasyFM Contains easiest FM files from stock game.
_MediumFM Contains intermadiate FM files. Spins are more frequent.
_HardFM Contains hardcore FM files. Spins are almost deadly if not handled fast.
_PFGunPodLoadout Contains gunpod default loadout for air to air PF and PFV.
_ResetInis Contains ini files that are reset to default non flyable ones after game update or DLC install.
Just use it to make Migs flyable quickly again
Afterword:
**********
This version of complete MIG-21 pack is far from to be perfect or complete so feel
free to let me know if there is something missed, bad or not working. Also if
someone has some more accurate tech data for enhance FMs feel free to mail me and
pack get fixed or updated.
Finaly thanks to everyone whom work made this pack reality.

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 (NATO reporting name: "Fagot") is a jet fighter developed for the Soviet Union by Mikoyan-Gurevich OKB. The MiG-15 was one of the first successful swept-wing jet fighters, and it achieved fame in the skies over Korea, where early in the war, it outclassed all straight-winged enemy fighters in most applications. The MiG-15 also served as the starting point for development of the more advanced MiG-17. The MiG-15 is believed to have been one of the most widely produced jet aircraft ever made, with over 12,000 built. Licensed foreign production perhaps raised the total to over 18,000.The MiG-15 is often mentioned along with the North American F-86 Sabre as among the best fighter aircraft of the Korean War and in comparisons with fighters of other eras.
Inside this 3rd and last pack (special versions):
- MiG-15bisR-F1 "Photobis" recon base version with 2 guns and camera;
- MiG-15bisR-F3 "Photobis" Czech recon version with 1 guns, bigger fuel tanks and camera;
- MiG-15bisSB "Fagot-B" Czech jabo/fighter bomber conversion with two extra pylons added;
- 10 all around the world users skins;
- a lot of historical decals;
- all data tweaked;
- pilots, sounds, weapons;
- screens;
Operations:
- Openable canopy (key 10) closing at take off;
- N-37 gun flagged as secondary gun (except for F3) for better ammunitions sparing;
- working cameras for R1/3 (key pagdown twice)
Credits:
- Tk (aka Tw) for Exp. 1;
- Stary for the long awaited great pit;
- Spillone104 for pylons, sounds, edits, help, testings ......
- Y.Gordon for his Aerofax "bible" book;
- paulopanz (me) for skins, decals and edits
Install:
- Exp. 1 needed

PS: Check the previous MiG-15 UTI pack too ...
(2. to be continued ......)
A variety of MiG-15 variants were built, but the most common was the MiG-15UTI (NATO reporting name "Midget") two-seat trainer.
Because Mikoyan-Gurevich never mass-produced the transition training versions of the later MiG-17 or MiG-19, the MiG-15UTI remained the sole Warsaw Pact advanced jet trainer well into the 1970s.
