F-35 Lightning II Add-on
December 13th, 2025 (1st Release)
by daddyairplanes, Wrench, simonmiller416, kblomkvist, Astore and Menrva

>For Strike Fighters 2 games
This is a complete add-on of the F-35 Lightning II family of aircraft, featuring all of its Real World operators.
The result of a joint effort by the community, the package currently includes the following operators and relative skins produced by daddyairplanes, Wrench, simonmiller416, kblomkvist and Astore, with tweaks by yours truly where needed for quality consistency:
-United States Air Force, 23 F-35A skins
-United States Marine Corps, 5 F-35B skins, 1 F-35C skin
-United States Navy, 3 F-35C skins
-Italian Air Force, 2 F-35A skins, 1 F-35B skin
-Italian Navy, 1 F-35B skin
-Japan Air Self-Defense Force, 1 F-35A skin
-Belgian Air Component, 1 F-35A skin
-Royal Air Force, 1 F-35B skin
-Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, 1 F-35B skin
-Royal Australian Air Force, 1 F-35A skin
-Royal Danish Air Force, 1 F-35A skin
-Royal Netherlands Air Force, 1 F-35A skin
-Royal Norwegian Air Force, 1 F-35A skin
I further polished the package with reworked data and weapon loadouts, my own selection of sounds, new cockpit and HUD textures and other smaller tweaks here and there. The incredibly detailed weapons included in the package are the courtesy of ravenclaw_07.
NOTE: Unlike previous mod packages released by yours truly, this one does not match the quality standards I usually aim for. Real Life got in the way and I cannot spare enough time for modding as I'd like. This aircraft add-on is far from perfect, there are issues with AI, the flight model physics, loadouts not being accurate as they should be, the cockpit being just wrong and mostly a textured screen, and on and on. If in the future someone provides better data fixing such issues, and/or newer 3d models for the aircraft and for the cockpit, then I may update this package and give it further care. For now enjoy it as is and do not ask for further fixes and/or improvements, I cannot do those at this time.

>Credits (in no particular order):
-Klavs81, for having created the original F-35 3d models and cockpit we still use to this day.
-FastCargo, for having updated the original F-35 package to SF2 standards.
-Astore, for our great friendship and for creating much nicer cockpit textures, skins and emblems for Italian F-35s.
-daddyairplanes, for producing additional and/or missing USAF skins for the F-35A.
-Wrench, for producing missing skins for all F-35C and F-35B operators and for the F-35A skins of other NATO countries.
-simonmiller416, for the USMC, USN and USAF Aggressors skins he made for the F-35B, F-35C and F-35A.
-Dino Cattaneo, for his F-35 add-on for Flight Simulator X; the new cockpit textures are partly inspired by his.
-JosefK, for the AGM-158C LRASM weapon mod.
-ravenclaw_07, for his quality missiles and bombs add-ons.
-Coupi and GKABS, for the canopy structure improvement via "FakePilot" part.
-kblomkvist, for all F-35 skins he released, including those of his SF2 USAF F-35 redux package.
-My girlfriend, for supporting me in all of my endeavors.

>Disclaimer:
This is a freeware; yet it can be redistributed ONLY in other CombatACE mods/mod packages.
This mod may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware additions.

Many photos of the ferry flight of the first F-16s for Argentina were recently uploaded.
That said, I decided to update the pack for you so you can use them.
The F-16BM has been updated, and the F-16AM has been added with the first two registrations. These aircraft have the Have Glass V paint scheme, along with some rumors about the weapons configuration and other details such as a different flight pattern, Have Glass I in the cockpit, details of the registrations, and the registrations they had during their service with the Royal Danish Air Force. The pilots are also wearing JMHCS helmets. (I need to know who created these pilots so I can give them credit. If you are the artist or know them, please mention them so I can give them the appropriate credit.)

YOU MAY
 
- Have fun with this mod
- Use it as you see fit once you download it, even modify it as you see fit
- Create your own textures as you see fit and upload them under your name
 
IF you wish to send me any modified core files (I don't need to review skins as that doesn't affect any core files) please PM me the modified files and I will check them out. There is no exception to this policy given my attitude towards staying out of jail. I will check them out and yay or nay the decision, but if I can edit any files in order to not go to jail, I will inform you and that will be it. I understand you may have information of a sensitive nature that you may have access to and frankly it does not belong in any files of this download. If that bothers you then please don't send me sensitive information, I think I've made it clear that I'm not going to jail in order to appease to players.

- Fixed some glaring errors in the INI files.

TAV-8B Harrier II. 
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) 
It is designed for and works only in the SF2 series.
 
So after a few years of lazzynes...
First of all...If you want to count rivets....Do not. 
Many things could be done another way....But I did it my way. So you have to bear with it.
There are still some small issues with the flight model and generally aircraft handling, but FM is not my sandbox.
All skins are in 3072x3072 format. If you have problems running this in-game. Resize skins to lower resolutions
Three sets of skins represent different periods of usage by VMAT-203
All serials are correct and historically accurate. 
For some reason, I have added weapons that are present in Loadout.ini.  But remember, this version was intended to be a training aircraft for the USMC. So, not much of the 'Mud mover' spirit. 
 
Animations:
1= canopy open - close
Activating the hook will transfer you from the front to the back seat - be aware that when you change seats, you can not change back...At least in this version..
If you want to jump like crazy from one seat to another, you have to edit the data.ini file yourself - I will not be part of this madness. If you are reading this short readme, you will know where to look and what to change.

SF F/A-18A (C15) Hornet (TMF) Spanish Air Force Pack  v.2                                   8/14/2025
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 Merged Suggested)
This is a remod of the 2009 upload of the Spanish Air Force F/A-18A (aka "C.15") Hornet originally by Blackfish. This creates a nation specific version of the aircraft, and replaces the 2009 version completely.   
As there was no readme for the original mod, at the bottom of this document, I've added the text from the announcement thread. If you have this original mod, you are advised to Delete It Completely, as this one replaces it in toto. This is also designed to NOT conflict with the F/A-18s as seen in the TMF Hornet Mega Pack, also available here are CA. As this uses a unique name (C-15) this should pose no issues.
All original decals are reused, and are now randomized for the 3 squadrons. Loadouts have been adjusted (See Notes). The skins remain in their original BMP format. My research has indicated all the serial numbers from the original mod are historically correct for the squadrons depicted. A new SF2 compliant hangar screen was also created for this mod.
The 3 EDA squadron represented herein are:
Ala 12
Ala 15
Ala 46, 462 Esq
. 
The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). 
I've included the drop tanks, pilot figure and ejection seat.  What I have NOT done is include any other weapons, effects, sounds or RWR tgas for the TEWS. These are all found in the TMF Hornet pack. I'm making the assumption (oh! that WORD!!!) you already have them.
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
C-15 Hornet (EDA) (TMF)
As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. The 'Change Log' is, of course, in the Notes section below. 
Good Hunting & Happy Landings!

SF2 F-16AM Falcon, Portugal (TMF) Pack                                                                   8/21/2025
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 Merged Suggested)
This is a rebuild of a mod from 2011(ish) of The Mirage Factory's F-16A  to the represent the F-16AM versions as used by the Portuguese Air Force Squadrons  No. 201 "Falcons" and  No. 302 "Jaguars". Each squadron has 2 skins; standard full color, and low visibility markings. The SF2 date switch is active, turning on in 2000 (best guess)
This mod is set up and labeled to cause =NO= conflicts with any of the other TMF F-16As buzzing around, as this carries a unique name (see below). Skins remain in their original bmp format, in their original size and resolution (1024x). All markings are decals. Decal Randomization is TRUE. Each skin is provided with 18 historically correct serial number decals.  The necessary items provided are drop tanks and pilot seat, the TMF F-16 Effects and Sounds. I've not supplied any other weapons; you should have the needed ones from the various Weapons Packs available at CA . If I missed anything, PLEASE let me know and I'll try to get it fixed.
. 
The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The refueling door opens/closes with the Shift/1 (one) keystroke. 
When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
F-16AM FAP (TMF)
So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. 
As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. The original readme is included. The 'Change Log' is, of course, in the Notes section below.

52nd Fighter Wing 1993
This mod brings together all of the aircraft of the 52nd Fighter Wing at Spangdahlem AB, Federal Republic of Germany in 1993. It features historic serials and skins for the era
                                       Included
A-10A_93, F-16C/D_B50, F-4G_92 aircraft
Sounds, effects and decals for all of the above
Assorted Weapons
Special Fuel Tanks to allow selection from different aircraft.
                                       Installation
unzip, add contents of "2 Mod Folder" to the mod folder of your choice. allow overwrites
NOTE ON F-4G_92
I HAVE BEEN GIVEN PERMISSION FROM ravenclaw_007 TO RELEASE AN EARLIER COPY OF HIS ONGOING F-4G PROJECT. WHEN HE RELEASES HIS FINAL PRODUCT IN THE FUTURE THIS MOD WILL BE UPDATED ACCORDINGLY.
NOTE ON SPECIAL TANKS AND MIXED FLIGHTS
I HAVE SET UP A SERIES OF FUEL TANKS SO THAT FUEL TANKS OTHER THAN WHAT IS NATIVE TO THE AIRCRAFT CAN BE SELECTED, ALLOWING MIX FLIGHTS OF AIRCRAFT. THE TANKS FOR EACH AIRCRAFT IS IDENTIFIED BY A NUMBER AT FRONT (IE "370 GAL TANK") WHILE THE NON REGULAR ONES HAVE THE AIRCRAFT NAME IN FRONT (IE F-16 370 GAL TANK). THEY WILL APPEAR FOR THE MOST PART AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MENU SCROLL
IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THIS, IT IS HIGHLY RECCOMENDED THAT YOU SELECT THE F-16C, THEN CHANGE TO THE F-4G OR A-10 IN THE LOADOUT MENU SCREEN ( flightname 1-1 IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE LEAD). THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO USE ALL AVAILABLE WEAPONS, AS THE F-16 CAN CARRY ALMOST ANYTHING THE A-10 OR F-4G CAN.
