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.

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.
Installation
-------------
Unzip then copy and paste these folders into your Mod folder (usually C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 or whatever yours is called).

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.

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

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!
