EF2000 Typhoon Add-on
February 13th, 2025 (1st Release)
by GKABS, Bongodriver, ace888, compufat and Menrva

>For Strike Fighters 2 games
This is a complete add-on of the EF2000 Typhoon aircraft, featuring all of its Real World operators. The original model by Bongodriver has been overhauled by GKABS with additional details, including a proper PIRATE System built into the aircraft's 3d model.
The package currently includes the following operators and relative skins produced by ace888, GKABS and compufat, with tweaks by yours truly where needed for quality consistency:
-Royal Air Force, 15 skins
-German Air Force, 14 skins
-Italian Air Force, 9 skins
-Spanish Air Force, 5 skins
-Austrian Air Force, 2 skins
-Royal Saudi Air Force, 2 skins
-Kuwait Air Force, 2 skins
-Qatar Emiri Air Force, 1 skin
-Royal Air Force of Oman, 1 skin
I further polished the package by adding historically accurate weapon loadouts for all operators throughout the years, 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.

Notes:
-The aircraft folder is named "EF2000". In order to avoid mismatches and bugs of any sort, it's highly suggested to either remove or rename any pre-existing "EF2000" folder you might have.
-You need to tweak the SoundList.ini file in order to fully experience any new sounds. Read "(Add to SoundList)" for further details, and remember to extract the SoundList.ini file from the FlightData.cat archive, if you do not have a custom one in your mod folder already.

>Credits (in no particular order):
-GKABS, for reworking the original aircraft 3d model by Bongodriver, for skins and decals for Kuwait and Qatar and for his reworked templates.
-ravenclaw_07, for his fantastic high quality recreations of missiles, bombs and pods.
-ace888, for reworking the original add-on by Bongodriver with several new skins and decals for all operators of the time.
-compufat, for supporting this project with skins of special liveries.
-Bongodriver, for his original EF2000 aircraft and cockpit 3d models and for the skin templates.
-My girlfriend, for supporting me in all of my endeavors.
