    1. 23d Wing Pope AFB 1994

      23d Wing Pope AFB 1994
      In the 1990s, the USAF experimented with composite wings that would have everything needed within a single unit for deployment into a regional fight.
      The 23 Wing was formed in 1992 to bring about this vision, as applied to direct support of US Army forces. By 1994, 4 squadrons were ready at Pope AFB NC
      to support the US Army's 82d ABN DIV at neighboring Fort Bragg. The 2d and 41st Airlift Squadrons flying the C-130E Hercules, the 74th Fighter Squadron flying
      the F-16C/D Block 40 Vipers, and the 75th Fighter Squadron flying the A-10A Warthog. As is tradition for the 23d Wing, which traces its lineage to the
      Flying Tigers of World War 2, every aircraft in the wing sported a sharks mouth.
      This mod brings together everything needed to get the 23d Wing into the fight. Complete aircraft (including a newly revamped F-16D Block 40 from ravenclaw007), period specific weapons, sounds and effects.
      Included
      Viper Team F-16C Block 40 and 75th FS skin
      ravenclaw007/Viper Team F-16D Block 40 and 75th FS skin
      Dels C-130E_SKE with 2d ALS, 41st ALS Grey and 23d Wing Euro 1 skins
      Various period specific weapons (actively in use 1994-1996)
      Installation
      unzip folder * drop into mod folder of your choice * allow overwrites
      Known Issues
      The C-130 and its weapons are primarlily eye candy. There are unfortuneatly no paratroop drop missions in SF2, and so if you want to drop say 1/325 INF onto a drop zone,
      you will need to select a recon mission and punch those partarooper out by hand
      I have been having issues getting the LAPES Sheridan tank to create a "crater" after dropping. it is still included for the visuals of puching a tank out the back of a Herk,
      and because there was still an Airborne Armor Bn at Bragg in 1994. But at this time the tank will disappear on contact with the ground

      UPDATE 31 DEC 20220
      XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
      After further research on other Hog units, and closer examination of the TW model, i have included Spectre8750's A-10A_93 model with updated numbers list.
      I also changed several serials after determining that they were at other bases in 1995. The deduction I used to find the C-130 serials didnt work as well
      for the Hogs. But it is fixed and I even discovered two Tiger Shark Hogs that were still in Euro 1 camoflage at the time. The A-10A_93 features two skins for
      the bulk of the gray birds and the two green ones.

    2. 52nd Fighter Wing 1994

      52nd Fighter Wing 1994
      This mod brings together all of the aircraft of the 52nd Fightere Wing at Spangdahlem AB, Federal Republic of Germany in 1994. It features historic serials and skins for the era
          Included
      A-10A_93, F-16C/D_B50, F-15C/D_91 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 SPECIAL TANKS AND MIXED FLIGHTS
      I HAVE SET UP A SERIES OF ROCKET/FUEL TANKS (MINUS THE ROCKETS) 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-15 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 ANYTHING THE A-10 OR F-15 CAN.

      _____________________________________   UPDATE 3 Mar 24    _______________________________ ____________________________
                       data inis on F-16s updated based on work by FANATIC MODDER

    7. Air Defense Vipers: F-16A/B ADF in the 1990s

                        Air Defense Vipers
                   F-16A/B ADFs in the 1990s
      This mod  represents the various units that used the F-16A/B ADF in US Air National Guard service during the 1990s.
      It also includes the ADFs that were provided to the Royal Jordanian Air Force in 1997. Featuring new F-16A/B Block 15 ADF models from ravenclaw_007.

      Included
      new F-16A and B Block 15 ADF variants from ravenclaw_007
      various period specific weapons and pilots
      various ini edits to match the era
      new hangar and loading screens
      NOTE: The B models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. the
      best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters rather than as a flight of their own.
      The load outs are the same so you will be able to load the same weapons.
      *****************************************************************************************************************
      LOADING SCREEN NOTE:   I will be including various loading screens with the diferent packs available.  In the          F-16B_B15ADF.ini you will find these lines
              LoadingScreen=F-16B_Loading_114.jpg
              //LoadingScreen=F-16C_Loading_111.jpg
      installing this mod will have default loading screen with the Texas ANG aircraft. if you already had a different version and prefer that one, simply remove the "//" from the one you want and add to the one without.

      History
       
      Since the early nineties, the Italian Air Force has eagerly been seeking a replacement for its vintage Aeritalia F-104S Starfighters. Its intended replacement is the Eurofighter Typhoon. Since this program has been running behind schedule for a few years, the Italian air force needed a stop-gap solution. Because the AMI possesses a vast number of Tornado IDS planes, they decided to lease 24 Tornado ADV fighters from the RAF for a 10-year period. This lease ended in 2003 so a replacement was sought. At first the AMI opted to extend the lease period with another 10 years. This proved to be too expensive, so the Italian government turned to the US. The requirement was for a fighter that could perform the air defense mission for 5 to 10 years, until the arrival of the Typhoon.
       
      Inventory
       
      Peace Caesar
       
      On March 15th, 2001 the Italian government signed an LoA for a 5-year lease (with an option on another 5 years) of 34 F-16s and four spare airframes, in a deal worth up to $777 million over a 10-year period. The aircraft were delivered between July 2003 and November 2004. In total, 30 F-16A ADFs as well as 1 F-16B ADF and 3 F-16B block 5 & 10's will be delivered. Four more planes will be provided for use as spare parts.
       
      Before delivery to Italy, the aircraft are brought out of storage at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz. and transfered to the Ogden ALC at Hill AFB, Utah, where they undergo 220 days of refurbishment and upgrades.
       
      The Falcons are given a complete refurbishment, which complied with all technical compliance-technical orders that have changed since the aircraft was placed in stasis in Arizona. The depot teams at Hill AFB did structural modifications including Falcon-Up, which replaces particular bulkheads and the structural life improvement program, which strengthens holes around the fuel cell panels and wheel wells by compressing the molecules with 30,000 pounds of pressure. The wings were removed and the bulkhead furthest aft that holds the vertical wing was replaced. The landing gear was refurbished and its bulkhead was also replaced.
       
      The flight controls actuators are replaced with new actuators. In addition the computers and instruments that provide the Falcon its technological edge are removed, sent to the appropriate facilities to be tested then repaired if necessary. All equipment that is a time change item and that has less than a full year's worth of service left is changed.
       
      Approximately 100 Italian Air Force maintenance officers, instructors and technicians are receiving F-16 maintenance training at Lockheed Martin facilities in Fort Worth, Texas.
       
      End of service
       
      On May 23rd, 2012 a disbanding ceremony was held at Trapani-Birgi AFB to mark the disbandment of the resident 18 Gruppo, which was the sole surviving F-16 squadron within the AMI. This marked to end of the service life of the F-16 within the Italian Air Force. This means the AMI is the first air force to fly with the F-16 that phases out the type.
       
      Modifications & Armament
       
      The planes provided to Italy have a standard ADF configuration. All aircraft receive the uprated Pratt & Whitney F100-220E engine and undergo the Falcon-Up structural enhancement program. It is confirmed that a number of weapon systems will be released to the AMI to be used in conjunction with the F-16s, including the AIM-120 AMRAAM missile,

      First - My sincere thanks to Sony Tuckson and the entire Mirage Factory Team for the permission to use the F-16 Files.
       
       
      This is for SF2 Full Merge Installed updated to July 11 patch.
       
      The file contain the following squadrons:

      21st FS Special

      Flying Tiger (401 TFW honoring the "AVG" of the Flying Tigers)
      ROCAF Solo
       
       
       
      **Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF)
       
      140th SQ
      140th SQ Late
       
      143rd SQ (added just for fun, never flew the F-16A Blk 15 OCU)
      145th SQ (also added for fun)
       
      311th TFTS (Squadron at Luke AF to train the pilots, very short live)
       
      425th FS (Current squadron at Luke AF to train the RSAF pilots, added for fun)

      The files above represented the F-16AM Blk20 for the ROCAF, F-16A Blk15 OCU for the RSAF, F-16A_ADF for the RTAF, and F-16A Blk15OCU for the TNI-AU.
       
      Due to the "fake pilot" mode, you will see the IFF blade on all Blk15 OCU by RSAF and TNI-AU when there shouldn't be... But who cares, it looks good :)
       
      As always, great care is taken to insure proper skin, decal-type/size/position and color when possible.
       
      Any modification that is not fully represented to the actual aircraft is made to improve the looks of the skin rather then to downgrade the quality of the actual aircraft skin and decals, or simply it is beyond my ability.
       
      I DID NOT upload the pilot, effects, and weapons because of three things:
       
      1. If you have been with the commuty for a long time, I assume you have it all and will modify it to your own liking.
      2. If you are new to the community, then you have a lot to read and upload to get the full impact of the wonderful work that many have contributed.
      3. I am too lazy to do it for you...
       
       
      Additional Credits:

      Crusader
      X Ray and Jat81500
      Ravenclaw.

      If I missed anyone it is not intentional and you will be credited :)
       
       
      Cheers!

    10. AT-6B for SF2 Version 2.0

      Version 2.0
      Changelog:
      -Cleaned up some areas on the 3d model plus increased the detail in almost all areas including AT-6B specific items plus the addition of extra details. (antennas etc.)
      -The skin's texture size and detail has been increased, plus changed to .jpg format.
      -Weapon modifications in _DATA & Loadout.ini files.
      -Included the AGM-114L as a CGR and added Hellfire rails to the 3d model to overcome the issue of engaging moving targets.
      -New hangar and loading screens.
      -New cockpit glass reflection texture.
       
      Version 1.5
       
      MAJOR upgrade in cockpit and model by Dels. Much closer to actual AT-6B appearance and specifications.
      More weapons tweaking by FastCargo.
       
      Version 1.1
       
      Added Sounds
      HUD Fixed
       
      Original model, FM, drop tanks, etc. based on Dels PC-9.
      Idea, decals, skins and coordination by Dave.
      Addons and weapons by FastCargo.
       
      This version is for the SF2 version of ThirdWire sims only!
       
       
      Installation:
       
      Copy the Objects directory into your ThirdWire mods folder. Allow overwrites (if any). The only alteration to basic stock or the current SF2 weapons are a slight tweaking of the basic Stinger missile.
       
       
      Notes on this release:
       
      The FM isn't perfect, but will work pretty good as long as you remember it is not an F-22...don't try to pull like you are one. Also, for some reason, certain racks will only load through the loadout.ini, but not in the pull down menu. Haven't found why this acts this way yet.
       
      Canopy is activated with animation key #10.
       
       
      Notes on the aircraft, from airforce-technology.com:
       
      http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/at-6b-light-attack/
       
      "The multirole AT-6 will be capable of performing missions including: net-centric ISR with the ability for precise geo-registration, streaming video and datalinks; light attack including combat search and rescue (CSAR), close air support, forward air control and convoy escort; homeland defence (border security), port security, and counter-narcotics operations; and civil missions such as disaster area reconnaissance, search and rescue, and firefighting.
       
      The AT-6B is equipped with a sensor suite that can include a variety of electro-optical, infrared, laser and hyper-spectral sensors, for example the Wescam MX-15Di. The Boeing joint helmet-mounted cueing system, in service with the USAF and US Navy, can be fitted for targeting.
       
      There are six wing-mounted hardpoints for stores. With its MIL-STD 1760 smart weapons interface, the AT-6 can be armed with a variety of weapons including 0.50 calibre machine gun pod; air-to-ground missiles like Hellfire and Maverick; AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles; and munitions including Paveway II / enhanced Paveway II / Paveway IV guided bombs, joint direct attack munition (JDAM), small diameter bomb (SDB) and 2.75in rocket pods."
       
      In short, the AT-6B is a LIGHT attack aircraft, perfect for COIN ops, FAC, etc. Operate it with this in mind you'll find you'll have a lot of fun with it.

    12. AV-8A Harrier for SF2

      MDD/HSA AV-8A Harrier, USMC
       
      -- For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Prefered) and/or SF2:E ONLY!!! --
       
      As stated, above, you =MUST= have a Full-4 Merged install, or at the VERY LEAST SF2:E to make use of this mod package, as it references all stock items for the aircraft and cockpit that is ONLY found in SF2E or Full4 Merged game installs.
       
      This package represents AV-8A Harriers as used by the USMC when first delivered. The skins (located for me by CA Member Amariani -many thanks!!) have been run through my HomeGrown ™ template, for to reuse the tail markings, courtesy of 331KillerBee/SFP1Ace's WoE-to-SF2 AV-8A conversion pak (which this expands upon)
       
      Skins and decals in the pak are for:
       
      VMA-231 'Aces'
      VMA-513 'Flying Nightmares'
      VMA-542 'Tigers'
       
      New decals for the serial, service name and BuNums are incuded. Some decals are modified from stock ones. These make use of the full color National Insignia, and not the LoViz as seen after 1980-ish (or thereabouts).
       
      All weapons used are stock in-game items, excepting the 'new' units included. These are either clones of existing or, in the ALE-37s case, from the GunnyPak. The canopy is NOT activated, as there are no more animation slots available for it. Sorry! However, in compensation, there IS a working landing light!! <grin>
       
      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.
      As usual, the expected "Notes" section for notes and other insane ramblings
       
      Good Hunting!

    13. AV-8B Harrier II - SF2. ver.2019

      AV-8B Harrier II. 
      This is my humble rework of AV-8B.
      Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) 
      It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
       
      Around 2 years ago - January 2016 -  KillerBee approach me with the possibility of updating bobrock's harrier.  After some time, we had prepared the updated file ready for upload. Small changes here and there corrected few things. And great skins by Killerbee.
      And then KillerBee disappeared from CA forum. Honestly, up to now, I have no contact with him. last - 4th May 2016. 
      So harrier stayed on drive waiting for his comeback. But .... I couldn't resist...And iI started to mod this again. Since I had no KB skin templates I had to do all new skins...and more.
      So now I am here...
      It ended with a new cockpit and a whole set of new skins and decals on whole remodeled 'old' Harrier. - there is no single part of an original model that hasn't be touched/remodeled etc.
      First of all...If you want to count rivets....Do not. 
      Many things could be done other way....but I did it my way. So you have to bear with it.
      All skins are in 4096x4096 format. So you can easily resize down. If you have problems running this in game. Resize skins to lower resolutions
      Decals are based on my and KillerBee research. All serials are correct for the first version of Harrier II. Not always (but mostly) correct for a unit/year of service etc.
      Big Thanks to Ravenclaw - He send me file with new ALQ-164 pod. Now it is part of the upload. 
      You will find separate upload soon with Operation Desert Storm skins and decals - Only units that participated in the operation.
      For some reason, I have added weapons that are present in Loadout.ini. 
      Animations:
      1= canopy open - close
      4= refueling probe - beware of a speed limit

      All skins are in 4096x4096 format. So you can easily resize down.  Generally, it is just a few skins.  If you have problems running this in game. Resize skins to lower resolutions. Skins match VMA squadrons from early AV-8B and late AV-8B radar version. 
      Decals are based on my and KillerBee research. All serials are correct for the Night Attack version of Harrier II. Not always (but mostly) correct for a unit/year of service etc. But as always aircraft are rotating between units so its hard to track them down really.
      Big Thanks to Ravenclaw - He send me file with new ALQ-164 pod. Now it is part of the upload. 
      For some reason, I have added weapons that are present in Loadout.ini. 
      Animations:
      1= canopy open - close
      4= refueling probe - beware of a speed limit
      3= night vision mode - not really helping but it is there - inside and outside animation.
      ************************************************************************************
      You can exlplore ini files for some additional features like in cockpit "FLIR" feed on HUD .
      AAQ-28 can be loaded only on station number 5 and centerline - in real - centerline come to use later and some units (VMAT) also moded wiring for use on other pylons. But in this mod only station 5 and 4 can carry AAQ-28.
      There are two stations prepared for Intrepid Tiger II pod. In future. 
      ECM also activates RWR on digital display indicator - even if ECM pod is not loaded.
      If you have my AV-8B Harrier already  - some files are same so simply overwrite. I think I did not put equalizer sound file now. It is same as in previous day Harrier.
      for proper sound work you should add these lines into soundlist.ini

    15. AV-8B Harrier II Plus - SF2. ver.2019

      AV-8B Harrier II Plus /  Radar
      This is my humble rework of old AV-8B.
      Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) A fake pilot is needed to run this mod. 
      It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
       
      Around 3 years ago - January 2016 -  KillerBee approach me with the possibility of updating bobrock's harrier,  and preparing  Night Attack version.  After some time, we had file ready for upload. Small changes here and there corrected a few things. And great skins by Killerbee.
      And then KillerBee disappeared from CA forum. Honestly, up to now, I have no contact with him. last - 4th May 2016. 
      So harrier stayed on drive waiting for his comeback. But .... I couldn't resist...And iI started to mod this again. Since I had no KB skin templates I had to do all new skins...and more.
      So now I am here...My standard AV-8B Harrier is already available for download same as Night Attack model. Both models recently updated,
      New cockpit and a whole set of new skins and decals on whole remodeled 'old' Harrier. - there is no single part of an original model that hasn't be touched/remodeled etc.
      First of all...If you want to count rivets...Do not. 
      Many things could be done other way....but I did it my way. So you have to bear with it.
      All skins are in 4096x4096 format. So you can easily resize down.  Generally, it is just a few skins.  If you have problems running this in game. Resize skins to lower resolutions
      Skins and decals are made to match most of the skins from Night Attack model pack. All VMA squadrons are equipped with a mix of both NA and radar model.
      Decals are based on my and KillerBee research. All serials are correct for the Night Attack version of Harrier II. Not always (but mostly) correct for a unit/year of service etc. But as always aircraft are rotating between units so its hard to track them down really.
      Big Thanks to Ravenclaw - He send me file with new ALQ-164 pod. Now it is part of the upload. 
      For some reason, I have added weapons that are present in Loadout.ini. 
      AIM-120 is specific for AV-8B via specific station code. To have proper year of apearance.
       
      Animations:
      1= canopy open - close
      4= refueling probe - beware of a speed limit
      3= night vision mode - not really helping but it is there - inside and outside animation.
      ************************************************************************************
      You can exlplore ini files for some additional features like in cockpit "FLIR" feed on HUD .
      AAQ-28 can be loaded only on station number 5 and centerline - in real - centerline come to use later and some units (VMAT) also moded wiring for use on other pylons. Nut in this mod only station 5 and 4 can carry AAQ-28.

    21. AV-8S Matador (Spanish Navy Harrier)

      MDD/HSA AV-8S (AV-1) Matador, Armada Española Arma Aérea
      -- For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Prefered) and/or SF2:E ONLY!!! --
       
      As stated, above, you =MUST= have a Full-4 Merged install, or at the VERY LEAST SF2:E to make use of this mod package, as it references all stock items for the aircraft and cockpit ONLY found in SF2E or Full4 Merged game installs. If you have neither of these, don't download this, as you'll not be able to use it.
       
      This package represents AV-8S (aka AV-1 locally) Matadors of the Spanish Naval Air Arm. A completely new skin, from a Home Grown ™ template was created, as was all but 3 original decals taken from the Matador pak from 2005. All new serial, name badges, and insignia markings were created (and, obviously included!) Some minor edits to the data, loadout and avionics give the aircraft a little more operational flexibility. All weapons used are stock in-game items. The canopy is NOT activated, as there are no more animation slot availalbe for it. Sorry! However, there is a working landing light, and a new SF2-style hangar screen (albeit a photo, as opposed to my usual 'boxart' type)
      As as extra added surprise bonus, a skin/decal pak for the Royal Thai Navy Harriers is included as well (all 8 of them!). New serials and individual markings were created; all others are stock 3W decals (insignia, finflash) from the game's objectcats.
       
      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.
       
      Happy Landings!

      If do not have any of these folders, then by installing this into your main install, it will make them for you.

      Additional Notes by FastCargo:
       
      Each model of B-1B has the ability to carry the specific weapons it was authorized for during that time frame. Most of these weapons are included in this package...the preset loadouts represent typical arrangements. The weapon stations have been setup so that you can only load the type and number of weapons for each bay in the loadout screen, reflecting real life limitations.
       
      Also, the maximum gross weight for takeoff at sea level is 470000 pounds...you can easily exceed this just with the default loadouts at full internal fuel weight. It is HIGHLY recommended to lower your internal fuel to 75% to get under the gross weight.
       
      At full gross weight, the AI and you will require the whole runway to takeoff...you will probably not 'unstick' until close to 200 knots. At minimum weight, it should only take about half the runway and about 160 knots unstick. Also, do not rotate above 9 degrees pitch on takeoff before you leave the runway...or you will scrape the tail and may crash.
       
      The FM has been through some major rework to get around the limitation that the sim has with large swing wings. The current FM setup is a compromise to allow docile handling with realistic performance. There are some weaknesses with it, mainly during mid altitude cruise flight tends to take more power than the real aircraft needs. You will find that the FM mimics the real thing in most limitations...lower altitude ceiling at full gross weight, faster roll rates with wings swept back, etc. Also, 'at the limit' handling has been much improved...much more difficult to stall at high speed. Handling is fairly carefree, simulating the real aircraft's fly by wire helping you keep the aircraft within limits. It is still possible to overG or stall...with bad consequences for both.
       
      For mission planning and the AI, the sim uses the 'CruiseSpeed' parameter to determine attack speed, and the LevelBombAI, ReleaseAlt to determine how high it's attack run is. Because of this, you may find the parameters for both to be different for each model. Here is the current list for each one:
       
      B-1B_86 - Speed-540 knots / Alt 1500 feet
      B-1B_92 - Speed-540 knots / Alt 1500 feet
      B-1B_96 - Speed-540 knots / Alt 600 feet
      B-1B_98 and 03 - Speed-320 knots / Alt 15000 feet
       
      The 2 later models are high and slow because they mostly do standoff and PGMs, which usually require altitude.
      The 2 earliest models are low alt, high speed for the nuke mission to get away from the blast (btw, you will NEED .9 mach and 1300 AGL to drop a gravity nuke...or you won't make it out of the blast radius).
      The middle model is same speed, but lower altitude because they didn't carry nukes anymore.
       
      We did our best. Enjoy.

    23. B-2A Spirit (Version 0.90)

      B-2A (Beta) by FastCargo.
       
      ********************** Version 0.90 ***********************
       
      SF2 Version for Jul 2013 Patch.
       
      Original model from tf3dm - 3dregenerator
      Modifications to import into TW sims by FastCargo
      Textures and most decals by FastCargo
      Cockpit, ModPilot, and Aces II seat from B-1B Redux Package by Dels, et al
      Included weapons from The Ordinance Shop II by 331KillerBee and FastCargo
      Hanger and Loadout screens credited to the respective individuals
      Thanks to ST0RM for high res photos allowing me to complete the area around the cockpit
      Templates for all textures and decals included
      Any errors are mine...
       
       
      Aircraft include:
       
      B-2A - All 21 tail numbers are included in the Block 30 paint scheme (operational).
       
       
      Notes:
       
      This release is a beta, and as such, is somewhat incomplete. The cockpit is from the B-1B.
       
      A new weapon has been included, the GBU-57 Massive Ordinance Penetrator (MOP). Big boom...but only one per bay. JASSMs have been slightly modded to have more realistic flight performance. The weapon bay loads have been built to realistically hold the proper number and types of weapons the real B-2A could carry.
       
      The FM has been tweaked to allow the player and AI to fly with reasonable accuracy. There are still a few bugs...mainly the AI likes to be nose down during the approach and landing. Also, there can be weapon bay visual errors when the AI is dropping weapons (ie the bay doors may not open). The weapon bay errors are limitations in the code that can't be fixed...it has to do with more than one weapon station using the same bay door animation slot. We are still working to squash the remaining issues...and one day we will have a proper cockpit for this machine.
       
      Have fun...report any crippling bugs (except trying to use it in SFP1/WOV/WOE/WOI...you're on your own) in the release thread at CA.
