Credits part of original ReadMe:
 
A BIG BIG thanks to
 
USAFMTL (and various partners in crime) for his help and guidance and support.
 
Jimmybib and Sundowner for initial consultation on skinning and all credit to Sundowner for producing the final skins which are superb.
 
Moonjumper for his advice on some avionics matters
 
All of you for you encouragement and kind words through it's development
 
My Producers....etc...etc :) Oh god I'm going to cry..
 
Anyway I decided to release slightly early because I'd like some of you to enjoy tweaking this thing, theres alot of talent out there who can make this thing great.
 
 
Absolutely no part of this is to be used in payware but moddify the model any way you wish and re distribute in your own freeware mods as you wish with no permission required from me, just give me the relevant credit.
 
The skins are Sundowners so ask him if you wish to make mods of them.
 
Enjoy...

Mirage 2000-5 BETA For SF2
 
This is a Mod of Erwin_hans Taiwanese Mirage 2000-5.

Original Flight Model by IAFmars and YEYEYE and Erwin_hans
 
French Skin by ADM17
 
Grecia, Siguena and Tigermeet Skins by TORNO
 
JAS-39C Gripen Cockpit by Gux
 
Avionics by Moonjumper and Jat
 
Martin Baker Mk10 Ejection Seat by AleDucat
 
SF2 updates, FM, Hangar and Loading Screens by NeverEnough
 
Installation:
--------------------------------------------------
Simply extract the contents of the Mirage 2000-5 folder into your Mods\StrikeFighters2 folder.
 
Shift 1 will open and close the canopy.
 
 
This model uses the Gux's JAS-39C Gripen cockpit and avionics. The cross bar in the Gripen canopy has beem removed to provide a fully transparent canopy. Every effort has been made remove as much of the Beta aspect as possible, but some small issues still remain. The weapon positions on the pylons have been adjusted, the weapon stations have been tweaked to avoid model overlaps, and the weapon loadout has been changed to more closely reflect French and Greek Mirage 2000-E weapons capabilities.
The lighting positions and wheel rolling radius have been corrected. The leading edge slats are functional, and the flight model has been tweaked pretty extensively. A new Hangar Screen, Loading Screen and Loadout image are included.
 
TORNO's skins make this a very sexy beast. The FM is pretty sporty, and the plane flies and fights nicely. The real Mirage 2000-5 is a very competent multi-purpose fighter bomber, and this model does a pretty good job reflecting that heritage.
Take a look at the Mirage 2000 History.txt file for more detail on the Mirage 2000.
 
Enjoy, and good flying.

This is my present for you all!
Read me and credits inside.
 
Happy X-mas!

Installation:
Under Win7 or Vista unzip content into User\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2(...)\Objects
Under WinXP is the destination in MyDocuments\ThirdWire...
 
History (from wiki):
The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer aircraft developed in Czechoslovakia to meet requirements for a "C-39" (C for cvi?ný – trainer) during the 1960s to replace the L-29 Delfín. It was the first of the second-generation jet trainers, and the first turbofan-powered trainer produced, and was later updated as the L-59 Super Albatros and as the L-139 (prototype L-39 with engine Garrett TFE731). The design is still produced in an evolved state as the L-159 ALCA, while more than 2,800 L-39s still serve with over 30 air forces around the world. The Albatros – the most widely used jet trainer in the world – is versatile, seeing duty in light-attack missions as well as in basic and advanced pilot training.

SF2 Updates and Loading Screens by NeverEnough
 
This is a complete SF2 installation package for the beautiful Tornado F3 by Bobrock and the many talented modders listed above. The Effect Emitters have been updated to January 2011 patch level. The Wingtip Vortices have been changed so they move properly with the swingwing position. The new TorAfterBurnerEmitter utilizes the January 2011 Particle System combined with one of dfang's afterburner tga's to give the model an afterburner plume similar to photos I've found of the Tornado F3 in warp drive. Also included are two additional loading screens of the 43 Squadron Special Colors Tornado F3.
 
To use the additional 43 Squadron Loading Screens, change the line in the Tornado_F3.INI as shown below:
 
[AircraftData]
AircraftFullName=Tornado F3
AircraftShortName=Tornado
AircraftDataFile=Tornado_F3_data.ini
CockpitDataFile=Tornado_F3_cockpit.ini
HangarScreen=F3_HANGARSCREEN.bmp
LoadingScreen=F3_Loading.bmp<<<<Change this to TorF3_Loading.bmp or TornF3_Loading.bmp
 
 
For those of you who have not installed Bobrock's Tornado F3 in the Second Generation Thirdwire sims because there was no SF2 conversion, you owe it to yourselves to take this opportunity to correct that omission. Bobrock's Tornado F3 is really absolutely stunning!

This addon offers the various Mirage 2000B in use in different Air Force, namely:
 
- Mirage 2000BG : Hellenic Air Force.
- Mirage 2000BM : Egyptian Air Force.
- Mirage 2000TH : Indian Air Force.
 
Compared to the single-seater, the 2000B is 19cm longer, is 219kg heavier and carry, internally, 60kg of fuel less.

Macchi MB 339A Version 2.0 for Strike Fighter 2 by ID(io)T Team
 
Development and operational history
 
Aermacchi went on to perform an effective "facelift" on the MB-326 to create the "MB-339", a modernized derivative. The first of two "MB-339X" prototypes performed its initial flight on 12 August 1976, with the second following on 20 May 1977. The first of 107 production "MB-339A" trainers for the AMI performed its initial flight on 20 July 1978, with the type entering service in 1979.
The MB-339 retained substantial commonality with the MB-326, differing mainly in a new forward fuselage with a raised cockpit, and twin ventral fins plus a taller tailfin to compensate for the loss in yaw stability due to the new forward fuselage. The MB-339 also featured updated systems, particularly rocket-boosted SICAMB / Martin Baker Mark 1T-10F ejection seats with "zero zero" (zero speed zero altitude) capability. However, the MB-339 retained the Viper 632-43 engine; Aermacchi had seriously considered replacing it with a more modern and fuel-economical engine, but the Viper was cheap, reliable, and had good performance. The engine was license-built by Piaggio. The MB-339 retained the six stores pylons of the MB-326G. It did not have built-in cannon, but cannon pods, dumb bombs, and rocket launchers were qualified as stores for the light attack role.The MB-339 has been export in Argentina where ten "MB-339AA" were obtained by the Argentine Navy (ARA), with the type operating against the British during the Falklands War in 1982. Other MB-339A users included Dubai (seven), Ghana (four), Malaysia (thirteen MB-339AM), Nigeria (twelve MB-339AN), and Peru (sixteen MB-339AP).
 
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The War Trial
Lt Guillermo Owen Crippa, a young Argentine Fleet Air Arm pilot, was tasked as No 2 of an armed patrol from Stanley airfield shortly after sun-up. The other Aermacchi jet trainer became unserviceable, so Crippa launched on his own. Near Jersey Point he spotted a Royal Navy Lynx helicopter, but as he pulled up to dive on it, he also sighted the ‘enemy’ invasion force anchored in San Carlos Water. Crippa broke off, reported his discovery of the British to his controller in Stanley – and then announced his intention to attack.
At low level and high speed he emerged from the radar shadow of Fanning Head, and fired all his podded Zuni rockets at HMS ARGONAUT. Crippa then engaged a RFA stores ship with his 30mm DEFA cannon, and before exiting the combat zone, took notes on the number and types of ship sheltering in San Carlos Water. He was subsequently awarded Argentina’s highest decoration for valour in combat. The British were also given a first taste of the courage and determination that characterizes Argentine military aviators.

I've decided to release this "as is" otherwise it'll sit on my hard drive for ever, hopefully you'll enjoy it.

Dassault Super Etendard & Super Etendard(M), SF2 Combo Pak (by FoxMonter)
 
For SF2, Any & All (Full-4 Merged Prefered - At Minimum, =MUST= have SF2:I AND SF2:V)
 
*Note: the reason for these requirements are the cockpits used on =BOTH= versions of the aircraft. They reference 2 very different cockpits and avionics displays, only truely available in a Full-4 Merged installs.*
 
*Note x2: There are 2 seperate readmes in this Combo Pak - one each for the Super Etendard and Super Etendard (Modernized). It's suggested that after downloading this pak, you unzip to a temp folder or your desktop, and =READ= both before installing, as well as this complete readme. Install instruction are, as usual, the same*
 
This package contains 2 complete aircaft - the early version, Super Etendard as used by the French Navy and Argentinian Navy, and the late 90s to-date version, the Super Etendard (Modernized) as used only by the French Navy. All skins, inis, decal, weapons, etc are included. Specific details for each are in their own readmes, inside this archive. You'd do well to read BOTH!!! (no kidding! really!!) All new SF2-style hangar & loading screens are included (exceptng the SuE loading, it's the orignal converted to jpg).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!! I'd reccomend that you unzip this archive FIRST (to a temp folder or your desktop), and READ through this readme document, and the other 2, before installing.
The extensive "Notes" section in each readme also contains a Change List of modifications and other impertinant information. All original readmes are included, for historical reference.
 
Happy Hunting!

EDIT: updated 10/13/2011
-- added the missing Tank_SUE_Gray
For thos that already downloaded this pack, the tank in availalbe in the SF2 Weapons downloads section

An upgraded version of Bobrock and Dave's Harrier GR7 for SF2, to commemorate Joint Force Harrier and the fleet of GR9 aircraft, sadly withdrawn from UK service and sold to the US for spare parts.
 
It includes an ugraded weapons capability, upgraded avionic systems and re-painted aircraft and cockpit to resemble (as close as possible) the real Harrier GR9 and the Joint Force Harrier Squadrons and paint schemes (Hi-res skin templates are also in the folder).
 
Installation Instructions:
 
Download and install Bobrocks Harrier GR7; this adds all the necessary components for the GR9 to work.
 
Unzip and copy and paste the folders in the 'Joint Force Harrier GR9' folder into your mods folder overwriting where necessary.
 
Add the Squadrons listed in the 'Add To SQUADRONLIST.txt' file to the squadronlist.ini in your 'pilotdata folder'.
 
You also need to have following weapons installed:
 
Maverick
Brimstone (& Brimstone3pack)
Tiald included with Bobrocks Harrier GR7
RAF Weapons Pack/Modern RAF Smart bombs.
 
Feel free to modify the HarrierGr9_Loadout.ini and the 'StationGroupID' in the HarrierGr9_DATA.ini to change the selectable weapon stations in the loadout screen and default weapon types.
 
Thanks go to:
 
Bobrock & Dave for the original Harrier GR7
AleDucat for the ejection seat (Martin-Baker Mk.12 for the Harrier GR9 is a repaint of his Martin-Baker Mk.10L).
All those who posted in the Combatace forum where I learned so much.
 
This is my first uploaded project; tested and works in my merged SF2 install, the Hi-res skins work best with graphics detail option set to 'unlimited'.
 
Enjoy.

Typhoon beta for SF2 series....
 
These folders go into the relevant directories in the C:/users/xxx/saved
 
games/ThirdWire........
 
This is very very beta at the moment so bare that in mind before asking
 
too many questions or complaining :)
 
I have released this for some community evaluation and to get some
 
general help with tweaking, give it a go and see what you think.
 
it has a 'what if' 74 squadron tigers skin for now and is using my
 
original pit from the first typhoon, also the HUD symbology has 2 shades
 
of green...this is from some testing I did and I havent bothered to
 
revert to just 1 shade so it's not a bug, the HUD is formatted to the WIP
 
pit so it will overlap the current one.
 
still WIP is a brand new pit which will use the new eye candy like bump
 
and specular.....
 
enjoy

READ ME
-----------
 
This is an update for Dave & Sundowners Tornado GR1/GR4 pack available here - http://combatace.com/files/file/12320-tornado-gr1gr4-for-sf2/
 
After the initial release I continued to plug away at the minor issues left over that my OCD wouldn't let go of! The bulk of this update is new and/or improved weapons released recently which include both my work and the stunning weapons that Ravenclaw007 made. The rest is things that are so minor that they would probably go un-noticed by most but they bugged me.
 
The only issue left that I can see is the lack of correct Decal's for the GR4. I'll be honest and say I haven't a clue about decals but here's some info which may help those who are knowledgable about them - The GR4 should have 2 decals, a 3 number "fleet" code on the tail fin (007 for example) and a 2 number/3 digit Tail code on the fuselage behind the flaps (ZA123 for example). The Fleet number and Tail number are not the same so ZA123 may have a Fleet number of 007 etc.
 
Cheers.....................................IanH

This'll be my last update for the Tornado Pack V3.0 by Dave and Sundowner available here - url]http://combatace.com/files/file/12320-tornado-gr1gr4-for-sf2/[/url] as I can't think of anything else I can change/fix.
 
This bulk of this update is the missing GR4 decal folder which has now been added to the mod. Each Sqn now has it's own individual A/C numbers & year dependant Fleet codes (GR4_98 is 2 letters, GR4_06 is 3 numbers) and I've included 2 special "Anniversary" decals for 12Sqn and 617Sqn. These are placed on 1 Aircraft from each Sqn only. The 617sqn 60th Anniversary Decals can be found on ZA370 in the GR4_98 only. The 12Sqn 90th Anniversary Decals can be found on ZD650 in the GR4_06 only. I've also changed both the 12Sqn and 617Sqn GR4_06 skins (12Sqn had GR1 nose marking and 617Sqn has a different tail tip marking). One point to note is that 617Sqn are the only Sqn in the RAF to retain there WW2 style "Fleet Codes" which is why theirs look different to all the others.
 
I've also tweaked the mirrors for all the GR1 variants as the "nose" wasn't showing allowing you to see through the model into the undercarriage etc. One issue I found with that is that the image in the mirrors is set as though the cockpit is actually higher than it it is (like the mirrors are about 2ft above the cockpit). I'll be having a play to see whether it's fixable without breaking the current cockpit view but I consider it a minor issue.
 
Lastly I've changed the Storm Shadow jet exhaust effect from 2d to 3d for a better look (Thanks Fubar512 for the help)
 
Installation
------------------
 
Unzip then simply copy and paste into your Mod folder (usually C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 etc) and allow it to over-write. Tested on a Nov '11 patched Full Merged and SF2:Europe Only.
 
Thanks

I've never done any Decals before so the folks here who helped out in the many "Help" threads I started really made this possible - DTMDragon, Spinners & Wrench
