Saab JAS 39 Gripen-C/D Força Aérea Brasileira Package
by The Scandinavian Front Team
 
The Saab JAS 39 Gripen (griffin) is a lightweight single-engine multirole fighter manufactured by the Swedish aerospacecompany Saab. It was designed to replace the Saab 35 Draken and 37 Viggen in the Swedish Air Force (Flygvapnet). The Gripen has a delta wing and canard configuration with relaxed stability design and fly-by-wire technology. It is powered by the Volvo-Flygmotor RM12 engine, a derivative of the General Electric F404, and has a top speed of Mach 2. Later aircraft are equipped for in-flight refuelling; most of the export aircraft have been designed to be compatible with NATO interoperability standards. The Aircraft was most recently leased by Brazil awaiting delivery of their Gripen-NG; At least 6 Gripen-C and Gripen-D will be avalible for the 2016 Olympics - most probably many more.
 
This package contains two "Probable-in-near-future" Aircraft with correct serials, year-specific loadouts and correct weapons.
 
JAS 39C-B(razil): The NATO-compatible version of Gripen with extended capabilities in terms of armament, electronics, etc. It uses large colour displays with English language,
feet and knots instead of meters and km/h. This variant can also be refuelled in flight.
 
JAS 39D-B(razil): The two-seat version of the C variant; otherwise similar to the B variant. Training variant.

***RAF Tornado GR1, GR4 and RSAF GR1 Pack V4.0 - Full***
 
V4.0 Updates -
 
Fixed Cockpit Position
Fixed Jammer Pods (they now work)
Fixed Airbrake Animation Timings
Fixed Position of A/C Nav Lights
Fixed Various Weapon Skins
New RWR Setup
New RAF Pilot Models
New Weapon Models
New Damage Textures
New Loading Screens
New Hangar Screens
Decal Folder Cleaned Up
 
 
This is the updated V4.0 version of Dave & Sundowners original Tornado GR1 & GR4 series. This pack is a combination of the previous V3.0 pack by Dave & Sundowner, the 2 extra Updates I released (V3.1 and V3.2) and my unreleased V3.3 Update, which included the improvements seen above. This pack can either be used as a Standalone (if you don't have the V3.0 pack) or as an Update of your existing Tornado pack.
 
This has been designed to work on everything from a Stock Game (July '13 patched) to a fully Modded install with NATO Fighters V etc. The new weapons are standalone and will not affect other weapons packs, however you may see other weapons from your pack are available. Please use the ones labelled "RAF (WEAPONS NAME)" (they're all grouped together for ease of use) as these have all been designed and/or modified for this Tornado Pack specifically, even though the Weapons may seem to be identical to ones you already have.
 
INSTALLATION
------------
 
Copy and paste the 4 folders into your Mod folder (usually C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\) to add or update everything.
 
 
Aircraft Specific Info (in-game, not accurate to real life timeline) -
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
RAF TORNADO VERSIONS
---------------------
 
GR1_82 (1982-1989) - Carrys Unguided 1000lb Slick/Retarded Bombs, BL-755 Cluster Bombs, JP233 & ALARM.
 
GR1_90 (1990-1997) - The LGB years when the TIALD Laser Pod came into service which allowed it to carry 1000lb GBU-123 LGB's.
 
GR1DS_90 Desert Storm (1990-1991) - Year limited for Op Granby (Desert Storm) only. It can carry the same weapons fit as the GR1_90 above.
 
GR4_98 (1998-2005) - A complete systems overhaul of the GR1_90. Although massively upgraded from a GR1 due the RAF's lack of Hi-Tech weaponary this kept virtually the same weapons fit until 2002 when the RAF purchased their 1st truely Smart Weapons, the 1000lb Enhanced Laser/GPS Guided Paveway II and the Bunker Busting 2000lb Enhanced Laser/GPS Guided Paveway III.
 
GR4_06 (2006-2020) - 2006 saw the RAF finally get the advanced set of weapons they needed which included new Litening III Designation pods, 500lb Enhanced Laser/GPS Guided Paveway IV, Laser & IIR Brimstone Anti-Tank Missiles, Storm Shadow Cruise Missiles, ASRAAM and the RAPTOR recon pod. Due to their higher collateral damage risk the larger Paveway III was phased out for the the new Super Weapon the Storm Shadow, a Stealthy 500+ mile ranged Cruise Missile. This weapons update makes it the most advanced combat load currently carried by any aircraft in the world.
 
ROYAL SAUDI AIR FORCE VERSIONS
-------------------------------
 
GR1_93 RSAF (1993-2005) - The Royal Saudi Air Forces version of the standard GR1_90 with the same capabilities.
 
GR1_06 RSAF (2006-2020) - A modernisation program in 2006 brought their GR1_93's to a GR4-"Lite" standard (although still called GR1). It can carry IIR Brimstone (but not Laser) and Storm Shadow but none of the other advanced weapons/pods that a standard GR4 can carry.
 
 
OTHER INFO
-----------
 
Loadout Screen -
--------------
 
Because the Tornado carrys all of it's offensive weapons underneath please view the 3 loadout pictures included to understand which drop-down menu is used for each type of weapon.
 
GR1 (82) - The Top loadout box shows empty but it's the fuel tanks and ECM pods, DO NOT TOUCH!
 
GR1 (90) & GR1 Desert Storm - The Top loadout box shows empty but it's the fuel tanks and ECM pods, DO NOT TOUCH! Also it shows 4x ALARM fitted but it's actually 2x ALARM and 2x AIM-9, again DO NOT TOUCH!
 
GR4/RSAF - The Top loadout box shows empty but it's the fuel tanks, AIM-9/ASRAAM, ALARM and ECM pods, DO NOT TOUCH!
 
 
Issues -
------
 
1. There is still no animations for the Refueling Probe or Nose Wheel Steering and the Airbrake Jacks aren't modelled.
 
2. In the cockpit mirrors you can "just" about see the undercarriage through the model.

Mirage 2000H "Vajra", Indian Air Force
=For SF2, Any & All* =
 
-An additon for the India-Pakistan Mod-
 
*Note: reccomended/required to have at least one stock 3W Mirage available in your game install(s), as this aircraft references the Mirage destroyed model for it's own*
 
Modifications/Corrections/Additions and general 'clean-up' of the M2000H from ace888's "Foreign Users Pak" create a more accurate representation of the IAF variant. See 'Change List' below the Install Instructions for details.
 
All skin textures are jpg, and Decal randomization is set to TRUE. All weapons, droptanks, seat, etc are included. Canopy operates on the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0.
Skins for 3 squadrons are included;
 
No. 1 Squadron "Tigers"
No. 7 Squadron "Battleaxes"
No. 9 Squadron "Wolfpak"
 
Each skin uses the Squadron Crest as the paint chip on the loadout screen. A new SF2 compliant Hangar screen is included, as are 2 Loading screens to select from.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them! Also, the "Notes" section for a more detailed changes/corrections list. Be advised, this mod REPLACES the Mirage2000_HAL in its entirety!!! Do NOT install this mod over the original. You WILL create problems!!
 
Happy Landings!

Sandesh 'ghostrider883' Kanchan

Sea Harrier Mk.51, Indian Naval Air Service
= For SF2 series Games, Full 5 Merged and/or SF2NA ONLY!! =
 
-An addition for the Indo-Pak Mod-
 
*As stated above you MUST have a Full-5 Merged install with SF2:NA, at the latest (6/2012) patch level to take advantage of the 'carrier operations' in brings. Also, you'll need any/all version of the game with access to the "bits and bobs" from the stock F-15A Eagle's avionics, as this is referenced for the LUSH variant.
If you do not meet this minimum requirement, do =NOT= download this, as you'll be unable to use it.*
 
This package contians 2 complete aircraft;
 
Sea Harrier Mk.51 (with 4 skins)
Sea Harrier Mk.51 LUSH (upgraded, with Derby & New avionics)
 
These aircraft have been upgraded to the latest patch standard (as of June 2012) and are designed to work in a Stand-Alone India-Pakistan mods folder. They have NOT been tested in an "all-is-everything-game install". It is highly suggested it be used as created. If used otherwise, you're on your own; as no support is or will be available for those not following instructions.
They are fully carrier rated. All weapons are included (almost), including new 'loviz' gray fuel tanks for the LUSH and 'standard' Mk.51 with lo-viz skin. Rocket pods, Magic missiles and dumb bombs use stock 3rd Wire versions.
All skins are in jpg format - End Users ™ NOT up to speed with the latest patch levels take note.
Decal randomization is TRUE on all skins.
 
Also included is a modified Nations.ini, and a new 'RanksINAS.LST', adding the correct rank structure for the Indian Naval Air Service. This goes into your /Flight folder.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them! Also, the "Notes" section for more details, and of course the credits -without the hard work of several people, this mod wouldn't be possible.
For historical purposes, all the TMF Original Release Readmes are included.
 
Good Hunting!

Each Foreign Mirage 2000 Operator is included (Full Fleet of each Air Force).
 
 
I have done the following:

2. All the Mods on the files
3. All the skins on the files (using MF as the base)
4. All the modified weapons on the files
5. 3 separate cockpit glass tint
6. Modified afterburner/effects (tested 4 different one, settle on the one on file)

HAL
 
I want to thank 'Crusader' for trying to tweak the cockpit by YEYEYE, and for approving the use of the .LODs.
 
The cockpit's main Attitude Inidicator is not model appropriately so the standby is the main ADI.
I have lock the main ADI to only capable of 'yaw'
 
If you want to use the default MF cockpit, just change the name on the MF's cockpit.ini and avionic.ini to correspond with the aircraft's name on file and copy and past to the main files alone with the MF cockpit folder.

Sea Harrier FRS.2 for SF2 V1.1
******************************************
 
This update by Wrench, DTMDragon and myself brings the SF1 Sea Harrier FRS.2 upto SF2 standards. This has been designed to work on everything from any of the Stock Games (May '12 patched) including SF2:NA to a fully Modded install with NATO Fighters IV etc. The new weapons are standalone and will not affect other weapons packs, however you may see other weapons from your pack are available. Please use the ones labelled "Royal Navy (WEAPONS NAME)" (they're all grouped together for ease of use) as these have all been designed and/or modified for this Sea Harrier release specifically, even though the Weapons may seem to be identical to ones you already have.

Aircraft Specific Info -
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Sea Harrier FRS.2 (1993-2006) - Used by the Royal Navy primarily for Fleet defence although it does have a useful, if limited, Strike/Anti-Ship capability. With it's immense power to weight ratio it accelerates/decelerates like a sports car and is 9G capable with a sustained 7G turn possible. Sadly the lack of money meant that the weapons loadout was fairly limited yet, for it's primary task, the Blue Vixen radar mated to the AMRAAM system proved to be world class.
 
 
OTHER INFO
-----------
 
Loadout Screen -
--------------
 
If you want to add the 2 Belly AMRAAM's (Group 5) in place of the gun pods (Group 4) then you also have to add the Belly Pylons which are also in Group 4 and they will replace the Gun Pods.
 
 
Issues & Optional Files -
---------------------------
 
Refuel Probe - Sadly this was never skinned in the original model and with the new high resolution skins we now have it looked truly terrible and just didn't work so we've removed it until such time as a new one can be made and added via Fake-Pilot.
 
Optional Files - 2 different Hanger/Loading Screens, just copy/paste them into the aircraft folder.

***************** German Tornado ECR/IDS/Marine Pack for SF2 V1.0 ************************
 
This pack contains 4 German Tornado aircraft with all the sounds, effects and weapons etc necessary for use. Although initially based on Dave, AD and Sundowners Tornado GR1/GR4 pack (in which I was involved) this pack includes new models, converted SF1 skins and improved ini's over the original GR1/GR4 release. It has been tested in both a Full Merged Nov '11 and a single SF2:E Nov '11 game with no problems found (not tested in SF1).

Aircraft Specific Info (in-game, not accurate to real life timeline) -
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Tornado ECR '90 (1990-2020) - The SEAD/Electronic Warfare version of the Tornado IDS, this comes with a much more powerful ECM pod than the IDS, no Cannons and a FLIR turret under the nose.
 
Tornado IDS '00 (2000-2020) - This is the Mid-Life Update for the IDS which gives it precision weapons like 2000lb Laser-JDAM, GBU-24, IRIS-T (post '06) and post '09 the Taurus Stand-Off Missile. It also has a secondary function in an Anti-Ship/SEAD role after the disbandment of the last Navy IDS squadron in 2005 allowing it to carry the new Kormoran 2 ASM. This comes in 2 paint schemes, an all-over grey for AG51 or a green camo design for JaboG 31 so I've allowed you to change the fuel tank colour at the loadout screen based on which skin you prefer.
 
Tornado IDS '79 (1979-1999) - The standard IDS for the Luftwaffe it carries a fairly limited payload due to the politics of the era but does come with the awesome MW-1 Dispenser in either Anti-Runway or Anti-Tank/Personnel varieties (AI Has trouble using it as it designed for 100ft deployment and AI can't go that low).
 
Tornado Marine/Navy IDS '82 (1982-2005) - The Naval version of the IDS, it's primary mission is Anti-Ship/SEAD and it was the only IDS capable of carrying larger 1000lb bombs and the Kormoran ASM until their disbandment started in 2000 lasting until the last Sqn went in 2005. It also carries it's defensive pods on the opposite wings to every other Tornado User.
 
 
OTHER INFO
-----------
 
Loadout Screen -
--------------
 
As per the Other Tornado Italian/GR1/GR4 packs most of the defensive pods & A-A missiles are combined in Weapons group 1 so please don't use the in-game loadout screen to change anything in Group 1.
 
 
Issues -
------
 
Due to the Political issues in Germany in the 80's the Luftwaffe's armory's were pretty bare and contained very few different weapon types which is why the loads outs are all very similar so be perpared for lots of MK82 Snake-Eye and BL755 sorties until 2000 and the arrival of the IDS '00 with it's enlarged weapons types.
 
The Taurus missile is using the old Storm Shadow model as it's the only one square enough to simulate it.
 
The Flir Turrent on the ECR has no display.
 
With the IDS '79 Strike loadout the AI can't use the MW-1, they just pull up into a stall when trying to use it.

This pack contains 4 Italian Tornado aircraft with all the sounds, effects and weapons etc necessary for use. Although initially based on Dave, AD and Sundowners Tornado GR1/GR4 pack (in which I was involved) this pack includes new models, converted SF1 skins and improved ini's over the original GR1/GR4 release. It has been tested in both a Full Merged Nov '11 and a single SF2:E Nov '11 game with no problems found (not tested in SF1).

Issues -
------
Just a limited weapons loadout for the AMI IDS '81, similar to the Luftwaffe setup, until the '04 Update which introduce much more variety.

T-45 Goshawk.
Fixed nose shadow problem,nose steering enabled.(See enclosed data.ini and copy\paste the new entry)
use new lod and edit T45 inito point to new LOD or rename the new LOD to the old LOD name,and delete the old.

BAe Hawk T.1A Update Pak
 
= For SF2, Any & All =
 
*Note: requires an install with access to the F-100D cockpit. May not work in stand-alone SF2:I* Fully merged installs should have no problems*
 
This is a full, complete pak, with several skins, decals (and LOTS of new decalstoo!). All sorts of fun stuff! This verson replaces any and all others.
 
Skins included are:
 
RAF (standard Euro-wraparound camo, 243 Sqdn) 1975-82
Gray (generic RAF gray, 19 Sqdn) 1983-1991
Black (RAF 208 Squadron) 1992-to date *rebuilt completly, based on Marcfighters*
Desert (for UAE)
Finnish Camo (for FAF, HävLLv 41)
 
(in fact, ALL the skin are new builds!)
 
The RAF skins are 'year specific', and will change over when selecting the proper years. Decal randomization for all skins is set to TRUE. A new userlist ini is included; it may not be fully accurate, and changes/correction are ENCOURAGED!!!
 
Included is also a set of new tail letters & Skull badge,but unused, as used on 100 Squadron's Hawks (as seen on the new loading screen) A revamped SF2 version of my 'boxart' Hangar screen is here as well.
 
Other ini edits fiddle and tweek things in the data, loadout and avionics ini. The avionics include a gun-ranging radar and audio-only RWR (not entirely sure as it IF they had them, but it imporves Playability). The canopy is operated via The Usual Suspect ™ animation key, Shift/0. As stated above, the cockpit has been switched to the F-100Ds; it's not perfect by any means, but works QUITE well, and seems a bitcloser than the F-86 and/or A-4Bs used before.
 
All weapons (Aden gunpod, drop tanks) are included, as is the /Gun for the gunpod.Loadouts and Mission statements have been adjusted to match, as best as possible, Real World ™ usage.
 
Also, with expecial thanks to Russo, for he whipped out a new lod for us that fixes the shadow issues.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included.
 
Please read them!
 
Happy Landings!

Older LOD for My HawkTmk1A had a "tractor Beam" shadow issue on nose,so this will fix it.

Gripen C and D(note: the biplace version still in beta state)
This is the same model that Gux upload some years ago, but now with much more "eyecandy".
Gux done those models, i just done some updates.
 
Enjoy!!

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

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.

In here is a modified VIEWLIST.ini which only changes the stock weapons view to a free cam allowing you a full 360' control of the camera so that you can see the weapons better. All other views are stock. If you want to try it then 1st backup your original viewlist.ini and then copy/paste the new one into the Flight Folder.

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

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.

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!

For thos that already downloaded this pack, the tank in availalbe in the SF2 Weapons downloads section

Tornado Gr1 and Gr4 for SF2 by Sundowner via AD.
 
Hanger screens by Sundowner and Dave
Various ini edits by Dave, Wrench, The and Sundowner
Skins by Sundowner
 
New weapon edits....by dtmdragon and IanH!!!! Thanks fellas.... Ian really busted his butt off in this so most of the credit goes to him.
 
Included are the updated files for AD & Sundowners Tornado GR1 & GR4 series. Copy and paste these 3 folders into your Mod folder (usually C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\) to update both the Aircraft and the new Weapons.
 
This has been designed to work on everything from a Stock Game (Sept '11 patched) to a fully Modded install with NATO Fighters IV etc. The new weapons are standalone and will not affect other weapons packs, however you may see other weapons from your pack are available. Please use the ones labelled "RAF (WEAPONS NAME)" (they're all grouped together for ease of use) as these have all been designed and/or modified for this Tornado Pack specifically, even though the Weapons may seem to be identical to ones you already have.
 
 
 
Aircraft Specific Info (in-game, not accurate to real life timeline) -
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
RAF TORNADO VERSIONS
---------------------
 
GR1_82 (1982-1989) - Carrys Unguided 1000lb Slick/Retarded Bombs, BL-755 Cluster Bombs, JP233 & ALARM.
 
GR1_90 (1990-1997) - The LGB years when the TIALD Laser Pod came into service which allowed it to carry 1000lb GBU-123 LGB's.
 
GR1DS_90 Desert Storm (1990-1991) - Year limited for Op Granby (Desert Storm) only. It can carry the same weapons fit as the GR1_90 above.
 
GR4_98 (1998-2005) - A complete systems overhaul of the GR1_90. Although massively upgraded from a GR1 due the RAF's lack of Hi-Tech weaponary this kept virtually the same weapons fit until 2002 when the RAF purchased their 1st truely Smart Weapons, the 1000lb Enhanced Laser/GPS Guided Paveway II and the Bunker Busting 2000lb Enhanced Laser/GPS Guided Paveway III.
 
GR4_06 (2006-2020) - 2006 saw the RAF finally get the advanced set of weapons they needed which included new Litening III Designation pods, 500lb Enhanced Laser/GPS Guided Paveway IV, Laser & IIR Brimstone Anti-Tank Missiles, Storm Shadow Cruise Missiles, ASRAAM and the RAPTOR recon pod. Due to their higher collateral damage risk the larger Paveway III was phased out for the the new Super Weapon the Storm Shadow, a Stealthy 500+ mile ranged Cruise Missile. This weapons update makes it the most advanced combat load currently carried by any aircraft in the world.
 
ROYAL SAUDI AIR FORCE VERSIONS
-------------------------------
 
GR1_93 RSAF (1993-2005) - The Royal Saudi Air Forces version of the standard GR1_90.
 
GR1_06 RSAF (2006-2020) - A modernisation program in 2006 brought their GR1_93's to a GR4-Lite standard. It can carry IIR Brimstone (but not Laser) and Storm Shadow but none of the other advanced weapons/pods that a standard GR4 can carry.
 
 
 
OTHER INFO
-----------
 
Loadout Screen -
--------------
 
GR1 & GR1 Desert Storm - The Top loadout box shows empty but it's the fuel and ECM pods, DO NOT TOUCH! Also it shows 4x ALARM fitted but it's actually 2x ALARM and 2x AIM-9.
 
GR4/RSAF - The Top loadout box shows empty but it's the fuel, AIM-9/ASRAAM, ALARM and ECM pods, DO NOT TOUCH!
 

Issues -
------
 
1. Because the Tornado carrys all of it's offensive weapons underneath please view the 3 loadout pictures included to understand which drop-down menu is used for each type of weapon.
 
2. The ALARM Missile model comes with it's own launch rail built-in. I've tried to hide it in the Aircraft models ALARM Launch Rail but a tiny part is still visable, sorry.
 
3. The RAF's Enhanced Paveway III model is incorrect. I had to use a GBU-27 model as the current GBU-24 model (around which the RAF EnPW3 is based) is sized incorrectly.
 
If you find anything broken, strange, doesn't look right or even if you're a Tornado buff and spot that somethings in the wrong place please let me know on the CombatAce SF2 forums.
 
Hope you have fun with this.........................................Cheers!

I've decided to release this "as is" otherwise it'll sit on my hard drive for ever, hopefully you'll enjoy it.
 
Contains updated model,all new skins, avionics,FM etc.
 
Please read the readme, it's for your benifit not mine..
 
Templates may follow at a later date if needed.
