Vertical Pack for Soviet Navy
By Snailman
Soviet Navy Vertical Pack 1.00
This is the first complete version of the Vertical Pack, now including the Yak-41M (also known by its commercial designation as Yak-141). I have modeled the plane as if it was deployed into combat units with its military designation Yak-41M. The plane served aboard the aircraft cruisers Novorossiysk and Baku, and on the aircraft carriers Tbilisi and Riga, from 1991-2010.
This is a fine tuned or modified collection of everything I could find to improve the planes.
I lot of time was invested in research and testing to provide you a working and accurate Yak-38/38M and Yak-41M. All feedback and suggestions are appreciated.
Install
I tried to include every component I have used with the planes, so it should work with a fresh unmodded SF2:NA. If you have DirX 9 and Win XP, then you also need Gerwin's IcelandNA modded terrain for XP to be able to play SF2NA on your PC.
Just copy everything into your designated add-on folder and it should work. Beware it may overwrite existing add-on files and components you already have. Check it first, especially weapons.

IL-76 Candid
By Veltro2k
ATT!!! before downloading if you have the old one , Erase completely including decal folder ,as this replaces all.
The Ilyushin Il-76 (NATO reporting name: Candid) is a multi-purpose four-engine turbofan strategic airlifter designed by the Ilyushin design bureau. It was first planned as a commercial freighter in 1967, as a replacement for the Antonov An-12. It was designed for delivering heavy machinery to remote, poorly served areas of the USSR. Military versions of the Il-76 have seen widespread use in Europe, Asia and Africa, including use as an airborne refueling tanker or as a command center.

TU-160 Blackjack(V2K)
By Veltro2k
The Tupolev Tu-160 'White Swan'; NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built and second only to the comparable XB-70 Valkyrie in overall length.It is the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber now in use and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.
Entering service in 1987, the Tu-160 was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union. As of 2016, the Russian Air Force's Long Range Aviation branch has at least 16 aircraft in service. The Tu-160 active fleet has been undergoing upgrades to electronics systems since the early 2000s.

By eburger68
Tu-22M3 Backfire-C for SF2
This mod package contains the Tu-22M3 from HoneyFox/Insky Group, updated and converted to SF2 standards. Included are all the effects, weapons, sounds, pilots, and seats that you will need to install and use the aircraft in this package.
This aircraft can be used in SF2, SF2E, SF2V, or SF2I. To install and use it, you should ensure that your SF2 installation is patched to at least the Dec2009 patch level. See below for installation instructions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
To install, simply drag the \Effects, \Flight, \Objects, and \Sounds folders to your SF2 Mods Folder (NOT the folder that the game installs to). By default your Mod Folder should be located here:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\ThirdWire\[Game]\
Windows Vista: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[Game]\
Windows 7: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[Game]\
...where [username] is the account you log into within Windows and [Game] is the name of the particular game mod folder that you're moving the files to. If the aircraft is not showing up in your Single Mission Aircraft menu, then you didn't install all the bits correctly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Notes About This Mod
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition to doing the basic work to convert the aircraft for use in SF2, I also made a number of other fixes and additions.
1. Fixed non-working tailgun
2. Fixed incorrect Afterburner.tga reference
3. Added referenced B-1B sounds from B-1B Redux package

5. Added damage texture
6. Added B-1B_86 cockpit (replaces C-130J cockpit in the original)
7. Adjusted attachment positions for several weapon stations
8. Changed Armor.Thickness and StructuralFactor values to more reasonable numbers
9. Added new dirty exhaust effect
10. Added new Hangar, Loading, & Loadout images
11. Added tail numbers to vertical tail
12. Other minor fixes/corrections
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Credits & Acknowledgements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This package largely consists of work done by others and released previously in other packages. All I did was assemble the package, update the bits to SF2 standards, and make a number of fixes, adjustments, and additions (discussed above).
jv447 .......................................... Tu-22M3 model
HoneyFox/Insky Group ........................... Tu-22M3 mod for SFP1

Lavochkin LA-15 Fantail for SF2
By pcpilot
*** LA15 for Strike Fighters 2 ***
This is Pasko and Column5's Lavochkin LA-15 model. It has been updated to SF2 file structure based completely on
their work. I have also added two LA-15 skins I made for this plane, added a different loading screen while
keeping the original if you prefer, and have removed the shadow file and its callout since they are no longer
needed, shadows showup just fine without the files! The plane has very basic avionics with no radar but a ranging
gunsight. A userlist.ini have also been included. All the Ini's have been updated also to KillerBee's file setup
including changing them all to Unicode for smoother gameplay. I have also added the Kor-vpa pilot from X-rays'
Excellent World Pilots pack. The original WW2 soviet pilot is included if you wish. Xrays' readme for his pilot is
included. And finally, the droptank for this bird is included and working!
Any errors in all this is un-intentional. Please let me know of any problems or needed corrections. Keep in mind
this is freeware made by your community for your use. You use it at your own risk. It is un-supported by TK and
Thirdwire productions and is released under the CombatAce freeware licensing agreement. Do not use in any kind of
payware without express permission from the owners of these files, namely Pasko, Column5, and X-Ray.
Issues: None known at this time.
Contributers:
3D Model By Pasko
FM by Column5
Pilot by X-Ray
SF2 updates pcpilot
To install, Just simply open the zip file and copy paste into your SF2 mods folder. It flies well in-game but
is not a turn and burn fighter; the F-86 can outturn it. It bleeds speed quickly in a turn. Its acceleration is
very similar to the F-86 also...slow.
God bless, pcpilot

Tu-4 Bull SF-2 pack
By paulopanz
The Tupolev Tu-4 (NATO reporting name: Bull) was a piston-engined Soviet strategic bomber
that served the Soviet Air Force from the late 1940s to mid 1960s.
It was a reverse-engineered copy of the U.S.-made Boeing B-29 Superfortress.
What's in:
-Tu-4 main production version, originally designated B-4. PLAAF H-4.
-Tu-4A nuclear capable bomber used to test Soviet RDS-1, RDS-3 and RDS-5 nuclear bombs.
The standard Tu-4 was not capable of carrying these weapons.
-Tu-4K/KS anti-shipping version, armed with KS-1 Komet missiles carried between the engines under the wings.
-Tu-4R long range reconnaissance.
This work began only as a limited skinwork for bringing to Jon a better bomber to use in Formosa and TSF.
But after all serials were made, I remade and upgraded all 4 versions.
Especially the Tu-k now fitted with pylons for KS-1 Kometa and Tu-4A with RDS-3 nuke bomb.
Credits:
- MontyCz for original model
- Lindr2 for the SF1 version
- Eburger68 for first SF-2 edits (Nato)
- new decals, skins and edits are mine.
Install:
As usual all in main mod folder.
I hope this will be usefull in NATO, TSF & Formosa campaigns making ....
Enjoy!

Tu-142 'Bear-F", Indian Naval Air Service
By Wrench
Tu-142 'Bear-F', 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 to gain access to the Tu-95RT lods this mod requires. If you do not meet this minimum requirement, do =NOT= download this, as you'll be unable to use it.*
Ini mods, redecaling, etc, of the stock SF2NA Tu-95RT recreate (a passble) Tu-142 Bear-F as used by 312 Squadron "Albatross" of the INAS. All textures are jpg format; this should pose no issues for users at the latest patch level (April 2012 or later)
Although a cockpit IS provided, it's "suggested" that the aircraft be left under AI control. Several 'issues' have recently appeared on non-radar equipped cockpits for player use. I built this, basically, to have something 'interestering' parked around the large airbases.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them!
Also, the "Notes" section for more details, as there are a few small differences in the INAS Real Life version, from the 3W one.
Good Hunting!

Yak-15 for SF2 Series
By FLOGGER23
Hi, this is my very first upload to CA, i just put things together and made it to work in SF2 standard, almost everything has been made to put it in the respective mod folders, if you are prompted to overwrite, please do so, the only part you need to work with, goes to the Soundlist.ini which you need to extract and place it in the flight folder, and add the following lines:
SoundFileXXX=NS23................ XXX standing as the next number in the sounds sequence.
[NS23]
Priority=NORMAL
Looped=TRUE
NumBuffers=4
3DSound=TRUE
DopplerEffect=FALSE
MaxDist=1000.000000
MinDist=50.000000
InsideConeAngle=360
OutsideConeAngle=360
ConeOutsideVolume=0..............this goes at the very bottom
of the sounds list.
This mod is uploaded using the Freeware Licensing Terms by the Forum, but i want to thank to the following individuals:
-Pasko for an outstanding aircraft model.
-Kesslebrut for his cockpit and Yak-3 ini file.
-Also Charles for a tweak to the cockpit.ini file that placed the cockpit in the proper position.
-Wrench, for the Russian pilot, very suitable for this plane!
-pcpilot, for the tweaks and skins made.
I hope you enjoy this mod and if you have any questions, don´t doubt to ask me here in the forum, or via PM.

SF2 Antonov An-2 "Colt" by Pasko
By Wrench
SF2 Antonov An-2 "Colt" by Pasko 9/1/2013
= For SF2 (Any/All; Full5 Merged Reccomended)
*Note: this mod will probably NOT work in SF/Wo* 1stGens at any patch Level*
Modifications, tweeks, partial reskinning and redecaling for Pasko's An-2, bring it (more in line) with SF2 levels.
Included are the 4 skins, most still in their 1stGen tiny sized bmp format:
Aeroflot
Soviet Green
North Korean Black
Polish Camo
The Aeroflot skin was partly redone, to remove the painted on registration number; 17 new historically accurate number decals were created for it. Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins.
See "Change List" below for more details.
This aircraft includes the data ini posted by Dave on the CA boards; I don't know who built the FM, but it's MUCH better now!! However, further fine tuning MAY be requried, as during testing, I experienced wingman crashings on take off. Be Advised!
Control/O (Oh, not Zero) opens the cargo door on the side. Weapons are NOT included.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for the change list.
For those that have the 1stGen releases, it's advised you delete, or move to a storage disk or elsewhere, the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is desinged to replace them in total. For those having this aircraft from other "all inclusive" mods pack, you may wish to review this pak before installing it over your existing aircraft. For saftey's sake, and all that kind of stuff.
**The 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!

TU-160 Blackjack - Cold War version for SF2 1.0.0 by UllyB
By UllyB
TU_160 Blackjack - Cold War version for SF2 series project by UllyB
The Tupolev Tu-160, NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union in the 1970s. It is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built and second only to the XB-70 Valkyrie in overall length.It is the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber now in use and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.
Entering service in 1987, the Tu-160 was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union. As of 2016, the Russian Air Force's Long Range Aviation branch has at least 16 aircraft in service.The Tu-160 active fleet has been undergoing upgrades to electronics systems since the early 2000s. The Tu-160M modernization programme has begun with the first updated aircraft delivered in December 2014.
*************************************************************************************************************
TU-160[ColdWar] test package readme (Baffmeister observations & conclusions)
This test package requires the addition of the Cockpit folder, Skin folder, and Aircraft Lods to work properly.
MODEL ISSUES:
No model animation ID for the leading edge flaps. They are presently set up on a rotation axis but they don't look very good so it is probably better to just disable them for the release version.
The real TU-160 probably used a combination of ailerons, spoilers and differential H-stab deflections for roll control but only ailerons are available at present. The H-stab is built as one piece so no way to get the differential H-stab deflections functioning.
WEAPON ISSUES:
Slightly modified KH-15 nuclear tipped missle included. The base quantity was increased from 4 to 6 to match the present capacity of AGM missle bay. The maximum capacity is 12 on the real Tu-160 but considering the effect on frame rates with so many nukes going off 6 might even be to many. Maybe 2 per plane would be enough. The maximum of 12 would be a good option for later versions with conventional warheads.
When carrying conventional bombs the accuracy is very poor which is typical for Bombers in game. Maybe someone could put together a "semi smart" bomb that the AI can use that would improve accuracy.
BOMB BAY ISSUES:
The original was set up with both manual doors and automatic doors to operate the rotary launcher. I don't think that can be made to work so just using manual doors.
DATE RANGE:
For testing the start date is set to 1986 so you can fly F-14 intercepts on the TW Iceland NA terrain. The actual service entry date for the first TU-160 version was April, 1987.
AVAILABILITY:
Probably should be RARE or VERY_RARE for a release version but set to VERY_COMMON for test version. Should only take a few trys to get an F-14 intercept against the TU-160 on the Iceland NA terrain.
ANTI-SHIP ISSUES:
When doing player flown ANTI-SHIP missions I haven't been able to get the AI to successfully "Attack My Target". They can't seem to get within the firing parameters for the KH-15 Missile and end up flying around in circles. It's possible to get them to do an attack if you lead them around first and line them up outside 10KM before giving the "Attack My Target" command.
FLIGHT MODEL AND DATA INI ISSUES:
The flight model still needs work as do the min/max extents, damage modeling and collision points.
***************************************************************************
*The model has Triple dragchute as in the real aircraft and has one historical skin made . Also the model has proper crew windows and proper crew positions inside the plane.

Ilyushin Il-14M/T
By paulopanz
The Ilyushin Il-14 (NATO reporting name: CRATE) was a Soviet twin-engine

MIG-31A FoxHound
By Veltro2k
MIG-31A Foxhound
The most capable Russian air defense interceptor aircraft, the FOXHOUND has a multiple-target engagement capability and was the first Soviet fighter to have a true look-down, shoot-down capability. The key to the MiG-31's effectiveness is the SBI-16 Zaslon fixed phased array antenna radar, codenamed 'Flash Dance' by NATO, which is said to be the world's most powerful fighter radar. The new Soloviev D-30F6 engine was specified for the MiG-31 in order to improve range, the key performance parameter for which an improvement over the MiG-25 was demanded. By 1987 over 150 FOXHOUNDs were operationally deployed at several locations from the Arkhangelsk area in the northwestern USSR to the Soviet Far East. The FOXHOUND is dedicated to the homeland air defense mission. The FOXHOUND carries the long-range AA-9 air-to-air missiles, and can engage 4 different targets simuitaneouly with the M-9.
