Lockheed U-2A for SF2
By Wrench
Lockheed U-2A
=For SF2 (any and all merge levels)
*Note: as I'm not fully sure if "Dragon Lady" applies to this early model, I didn't add the name*.
This is a slight overhaul of Pasko/Column5's Lockheed U-2A recon plane. This is a full aircraft pak, with a modified cockpit. All new serial number decals have been created, historcally accurate for the USAF version, and those discoverable for CIA usage (US civil N-series). Both the original skins (NM and 'dark gray') are included. A new SF2-style hangar screen is included, as is Pasko's "PilotU2" , dressed in the 1950s style pressure suit.
The flight model feels pretty good in SF2, considering it hasn't been tweeked since 2005, but the aircraft is NOT a fighter, so don't expect massive manuverabililty. Other ini tweek remove some unneeded cockpit bits, add an audio-only RWR (couldn't find any info if A-models had jammer suites), landing lights, and a working Driftsight (ie: downward looking periscope). A destroyed model has also been assigned, for SF2 users.
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.
You should pay special attention to the "Flying the U-2" sections below, as it explains the use of the 'driftsight' and other things you'll need to know for correctly flying recon missions in this bird.
It is also highly likely this mod can be used in 1stGen SF/Wo* with minimal adjustments -- as 08 level game also use the /Decals subfolder, this should pose no issue whatsoever. Some data ini adjusment of the landing gear rolling radi may be necessary. Since I don't mod 1stGens anymore, this was not tested.
And yes, for those that look for such things, there are 2 Easter Eggs in the cockpit (actually, 3, but one seems to have disappeared!).
Happy Landings!

P-2H "Neptune" Skins/Decals and Ini Update Pak
By Wrench
P-2H "Neptune" Skins/Decals and Ini Update Pak
-- For SF2, Any & All --
This is a mod of the original P-2H (P2V-7) released by Tracker and the Argentine Modders Group, incorporating some tweeks perfomred by ChampionsVA56
You do NOT need to original download, but if you want the COAN skins, you'll need it to add them.
All inis, lods, etc, and 3 new skin and decal sets are provided. The inis have been 'adjusted' back to original USN state, with a completely new UserList.ini, descripting the different countries that used this late-model Neptune. (NOTE: RAF is not listed, as they used only earlier models, with the gun turrets. Hopefully, I also got the users & years farily close, too)
Skins included in this set are:
VP-18 "Flying Phantoms", NAS Jacksonville as seen during the Cuban Missile Crisis
VP-65 "Tridents", NAS Point Magu, in the mid/late 1960s through the 1970s
VP-69 "Totems", NAS Whidbey Island, in the 1970s *
(* revamped version of pappychksix's, now with decals)
All new decals are included, many with historically matching BuNums-to-Modex numbers (wherever possible, and the information was discoverable). The Basic Skins for the USN Gull Gray/White and Seaplane Gray and White, can be used for many other countries, simply by creating new skin folders, copying the relevant files, and creating new textureset and decals inis that reference the proper markings and nationality.
A new weapon is included; the Mk.44 lightweight torpedo (note: it needs a new lod, as it's using the Mk.13 which is too long, but it works just fine!!). Loadouts have been corrected, with some reengineering of mounting points. Not perfect, but very workable.
Other ini edits use Champ's landing gear & light fix, and I've replaced the pilot figures with the stock 'Prop_Pilot' with the baseball cap. The engine sound has also been replaced, and supplied. It's not what I consider a perfect match, but it's seems what should be farily close.
As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install.
Warning Note: If installing fresh, do not use the original download;s inis, use these =ONLY=!!! If/when installing the COAN skins, use =ONLY= the skins, and nothing else!! You will mess things up severly, and have to start completly over.
Happy Landings!

B-58A Huster for SF Upgrade/Update Pak
By Wrench
B-58A "Hustler"
-- For SF2, Any and All --
This is a modification of Pasko's B-58 Hustler, to bring it more in line with SF2 standards.
If you have the 2009 SF2 Update, just install this directly OVER your pre-existing folders, allowing the overwrite. If you don't, don't worry about it.
Two skins are included (the same basic skin used twice), with all new 100% Historicaly Correct serial numbers, listing each operational aircraft that served with the 43rd and 305th Bomb Wings. Unfortunatly, I was unable to break them down each into which served with each of the 6 Squadrons in the 2 Wings, but this should do nicely.
There are also 2 cockpits included:
The original SF2 mod by Dave (USAFMTL), that uses the F-106 pit and,
An extensivelly modified F-4 Phantom pit (stock 3W ini only -as the cockpit exists in all versions of the game). This one makes use of many 'moves' to drop items out if sight, and uses the physical external model for the windshield framing.
Neither one is perfect ... this is elaborated further in the "Notes" section, with instructions on what to switch or turn off in the various inis; depending on which you choose. Right now, it's using the Phantom pit, as it really is quite a bit closer than the 106's.
In the Loadout ini, several alternate loadouts are listed. These can be accessed from the 3rdWire mission editor screen (for post-Expansion Pak 2 users). Other ini edits repositon the running & landing lights, add 'virtual' flaps (as this aircraft made use of drooping elevons -without the original source file this is impossible to duplicate-), minor engine adjustments, and avionics tweeks. It could also stand a slightly improved FM; the changes and other comments are in the "Notes" section. Weapons are included, the nuke explosion effects are =NOT=. YOu should probably have them from the GunnyPak. Speaking of weapons, a "new" 8kt ARM is included; this is a fictional ARM version of the Genie, more in line with "Fail Safe" and the No.6 Decoy/EW/Escort aircraft, and gives you a SEAD load. Kill SAM sites DEAD!!! Since real decoys don't/can't exist....it's just for fun! There's also and EO version, that can be used for STRIKE or SEAD missions.
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. This =IS= Required reading -- there are some issues that are addressed there.
Good Hunting!

Douglas AC-47 "Spooky" Gunship for SF2 - Ver.2
By Wrench
Douglas AC-47 "Spooky" Gunship -Version 2.0
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged, Plus Expansion Pak 1 =
*Designed with SF2:V in mind*
*Note: You =MUST= have Expansion Pak 1 to access the C-47 lods. If you don't have it, do =NOT= download this mod, as you'll be unable to use it*
MANY modifications to the stock C-47 Skytrain, create the AC-47 "Spooky" gunship for your SouthEast Asian flying enjoyment.
A new skin, using my Home-Grown Template , and enhancements by paulopanz, give it a passble SEA 3-Tone. All markings are decals, and are 100% historically correct for the 3rd SOS. Markings for 18 aircraft are included, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
The miniguns are supplied as a weapon, but exist 'virtually' in the aircraft body (no physical lod). "Parachute" illuminator flares are also supplied for those pesky night interdiction missions.
An SF2 version of my original 'boxart' hangar screen is included.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
Also, PLEASE read the "Notes" section -- vital information in there that might assist you in playing this aircraft (pylon turns are a PAIN!!).
Good Hunting!

C-141B Starlifter Replacement/Tweeks Pak
By Wrench
C-141B Starlifter Replacement/Tweeks Pak
= For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 RECCOMENDED!!!) =
Some remods/tweeks/partial reskinning and new decals for the recently (re)released C-141B
Starlifter.
It is designed to totally REPLACE the C-141B in the Cargo Planes Pak, so you'll be deleting the
aircraft and decals folder OF the original (re)release, and replace them with these.
All the painted on markings have been removed, and new decals are used in their places. The
tail flash represents the 438th AW out of McGuire AFB. Many other small changes have been
effected; new avionics ini, lights moved (or removed), etc and so forth. Not a full and total
rebuild, just some tweeks for minor improvements. The partial templates I created/used for this
are included. Maybe someone will step up and give us a Lizard Camo.
The skins supplied herein are in jpg format.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read
them!!! Also, give the "Notes" section a read, in particular on operational usage.
The Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft.
**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that
cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**.
Happy Landings!

SF2 USAF/NATO/Western Cargo Planes by Veltro2K
By Wrench
SF2 USAF/NATO/Western Cargo Planes by Veltro2K
-For SF2, Any and All-
This is a re-release of these aircraft, as some have stated a desire to have them again.
This pak includes all my reskins, decals, ini tweeks,etc, from the various "upgrade paks" I'd
released before the aircraft were disappeared.
This pak contains =ONLY= those aircraft used by the USAF, our Allies and other NATO powers. The
Soviet/Warsaw Pact transports are someplace else....
Included in this pack are:
C-141A Starlifer
C-141B Starlifter
C-5A Galaxy
C-17 Globemaster III
G-222 Spartan (called such in USAF service)
Some may be more complete than others, with regards to decals and such. Some are fairly
'untouched', and will need further decaling, etc. Some hangar and loading screens are NOT in
SF2 format, and will need redoing (meaning: I never got around to them!).
All the original readmes from the Upgrade Paks (I could find!) are included within this main
folder. I'd reccomend reading them, just for fun!
Skin and some decal templates (again, when I could find them!) are included. The decal template
is for the "ttag" decal, that is for USAF AMC usage.
This pak is quite large, as the skins remain in their bmp format. You can convert to jpg at you
convience.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read
them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations. Also, the Legal
Statement has been changed with regards to these aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, you may not need to reapply this package. But,
to be safe, PLEASE check over your aircraft to be sure. Thank You :).
**These aircraft herein are re-released in "AS IS" Condition. There are/may be some issues with
the LODs that may not/cannot be resolved. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be
solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created. For now.**
Happy Landings!

SF2 E-767 AWAC and KC-767 Cargo/Refueler Aircraft by Veltro2K
By Wrench
SF2 E-767 AWAC and KC-767 Cargo/Refueler Aircraft by Veltro2K
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's KC and E-767 aircraft.
It is REQUIRED that you have -at the VERY minimum- a Full-4 merged install. However, the AWACs makes use of SF2NA coding, and is NA is REQUIRED for everything to (more of less) work properly. Also, as these reference the stock 3W destroyed model (closest fit in shape, but not size...). Hence, the need for a Full 5 Merged install. It is usable without, but you may not have the dead burning wreckage on the ground.
Included in this pack are the:
E-767 AWAC:
602 AACS, JASDF
KC-767 Refuler/Cargo Carrier:
14 Stormo, AMI
401 Squadron, JASDF
Skins remain in their bmp format; the KC-767 makes use of Brain32's trick of having the one skin, resued for both, residing in MAIN aircraft folder. Decal radomization is set to TRUE (well, there's 4 aircraft for each user!). A user list is supplied for the KC-767.
New damage textures are supplied, in DDS format. The skins have been 'partly' redone. The partial template I used in included. Other skinners are encouraged to 'have at it'
While this mod IS supplied with a cockpit, the Standard Waring Disclaimer for these High Value Assets remains: let the AI handle them. As AFR isn't part of the game ... the word we're looking for is "eye candy".
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read, in particular on operational usage.
The Legal Statement has been changed with regards to these aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, as there HAVE been changes and additions in several of the inis you may wish to examine, mostly in respect to SF2NA, you may wish to replace the originals with these.
**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**.
Happy Landings!

SF2 Cessna O-2A Skymaster by Veltro2K
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's O-2A FAC aircraft.
**Note: due to extensive modifications to the cockpit and other ini tweeks, it will =NOT=
work in 1stGen SF/Wo* games at ANY patch level**
As stated above, a reissue of the Skymaster FAC bird. Included in this pak are all the mods
from the "O-2 Tweeks Pak' I issued in 2009 (and it's attendant readme). This is the complete
aircraft.
Skins remain in their bmp format; Decal radomization is set to TRUE. A user list is
supplied. New damage textures are in DDS format. All weapons referenced are STOCK 3rd Wire
items, available in full 4/5 merged installs.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read
them!!! Included is my original readme for the "Tweeks Pak"; it's suggested you read this
as well, as it contains a listing of all the changes, tweeks, mods and so forth.
The Legal Statement has also been changed with regards to this aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, as there HAVE been changes and additions in
several of the inis you may wish to examine, you may wish to replace the originals with
these.
**This aircraft herein is released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that

WAIVERS: This package is for freeware use only!
The Tigercat in Korea - A brief History
VMF-542 Squadron left San Diego for Japan in late August, 1950, the Tigercats being hoisted aboard the small aircraft carrier USS Cape Esperance. After arriving in Japan, the squadron was based at Itazuke AB for a short period but probably didn't operate over Korea at that time. More likely they were just placed on alert status to counter any potential inbound threats.
After the invasion at Inchon on September 15, VMF-542 began deployment to the newly captured airfield at Kimpo [K-14]. They flew their first combat missions from Kimpo on September 20. Operations from Kimpo were in support of the 1st Marine Division as it attacked northward. VMF-542 likely operated from the frozen Chosin Resevoir during that campaign. During this phase most operations were day and night interdiction, combat air support and armed recon but there is an interesting account of a VMF-542 Tigercat escorting a PR Tigercat [VMJ-1?] all the way to Vladivostok and back.
In January, 1951, VMF-542 moved back to Itazuke, Japan. From there the Tigercats conducted long range armed recon missions as well as doing some spotting for naval gunfire.
During February, 1951, VMF-542 was back in Korea, operating from Pusan [K-1] airfield.
In March, 1951, VMF-542 returned to El Toro, California, to begin training on the F3D Skynight. VMF-542's Tigercats and some pilots were transferred to VMF-513, making VMF-513 a composite squadron with both Tigercats and Corsairs. At some point after being transferred to VMF-513 the Tigercats recieved their rather famous flat black paint jobs. With VMF-513 the Tigercats were flown from Pusan mainly at night with the Corsairs operating in the day time. During the night missions the Tigercats would sometimes team up with flare dropping R4D's and PB4Y Privateers.
In June, 1951, VMF-513 moved to Kangnung [K-18], on the east coast of Korea. It was at this point the Tigercats scored there only aerial victorys, shooting down one PO-2 Biplane in June and another PO-2 in July, both shot down during night operations. From Kangnung the Tigercats also flew long night time patrols protecting the valuable radar station at Cho-do. On the return leg the Tigercats would engage any targets of opportunity. Another task was night time ground controlled radar bombing. The Tigercats would be called in by forward air controllers but the bombing run was calculated and directed by ground controlled radar operators. Yet another task was escorting B-26 Invaders during night time interdiction missions.
At the end of March, 1952, VMF-513 moved to Kunsan [K-8] airfield. The front line was quite static at this time allowing a very heavy concentration of anti-aircraft guns to be built up. For night time combat air support operations, a system was devised were two crossed searchlight beams would be used as a reference point while a FAC would give targeting directions to the Tigercat pilot, based on the position of the crossed seachlight beams. After the first Napalm bombs were dropped the FAC would give directions for further drops by referencing the position of the fire from the first drop.
In late summer, 1952, VMF-513 received twelve F3D SkyKnight fighters and the last of the Tigercats were phased out shortly after.
