  1. Viper Dawn : First USAF F-16A Block 10s (for TW F-16A)

        Viper Dawn : First USAF F-16A Block 10s (for TW F-16A)
    This mod utilizes the stock TW F-16A Netz and previous work to represent the first three operational USAF F-16A wings (not the training wings). Featuring historical serial numbers for each unit, and markings to reflect the eras this is the most accurate skin representation of the early block (1/5/10) F-16s to date. I use the same TW model for all three as the biggest visible difference in the three was the black radome on the Block 1s. I represented this via decal for the appropriate serial numbers and they were all delivered to the 388th TFW in in 1979. Otherwise it would be impossible to distiguish between teh three models in game.
        Included
    -  2 363rd TFW skins for the 17th TFS "Owls" and 19th TFS "Gamecocks". Note the 17th would go on to rename as the Hooters after they transitioned to the C/D model F-16
    -  4 388th TFW skins, represented these units in operation from the first USAF Vipers in 1979 until their transition to Block 15s in 1983
    -  12 474th TFW skins. The 474th operated the Block 10 from late 1980 until the wing was disbanded in late 1989. These dozen skins reflect some of teh marking changes for the three squadrons over nearly a decade of service
    -  weapons in use by the early Vipers in the early 1980s, with some ini tweaks by myself
        Required
    valid copy of Strike Fighters 2: Israel
        Instructions
    unzip, unload contents of "2 Mod folder" into mod folder of your choice. allow overwrites if needed
    NOTE: there are two previous F-16A Block 10 mods based on the TW model. this mod is based on them, but with improvement. because they leverage the TW model and are image and ini only, i have kept teh basic inis in this release for your convienence. But it was made much easier to create standing on their shoulders
        ****************NOTE***************
    This mod heavily leverages decals that are meant for a Team Viper Block 10 set, and feature decals and number list entries for the B models as well. Due to lack of a TW two seat F-16, these are restricted by ini
    however, when a Team Viper Block 10 becomes available, the decal set here will be ready to go speeding up release of this skin set for the new models.

  2. SF2 F-16A Block 1 (TMF) Pack

    SF2 F-16A Block 1 (TMF) Pack       6/28/2024
    -For SF2, Any and All-(SF2:I Required, Full 5 Merged Suggested)
    - Another 1stGen Salvage Operation -
    This is a rebuild of TMF's F-16A Block 1 Fighting Falcon. This is =JUST= the block 1, with its short life span (78-90, including exported/European built versions). Having SF2:I is required, as this mod makes use of the Netz's destroyed model.
    This mod is set up and labeled to cause =NO= conflicts with the myriad of F-16 mods, both based off the Third Wire Netz or any add-on Vipers. Skins remain in their original bmp format, in their original size and resolution. Most markings are decals, with the exception of some painted on national markings. Decal Randomization is TRUE. Each skin is provided with 24 historically correct serial number decals (for the A block 1).  All necessary items are provided; drop tanks. decals, pilots, sounds, and so forth. Weapons used are all stock in-game items. If I missed anything, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed. Please read the "Notes" for how to select the alternative STRIKE loadout.
    The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The refueling door operates with the Shift/1 (one) keystroke. This also makes use of the expanded RWR listings, and hopefully I've gotten all them tgas together.
    The aircraft is supplied with 3 skins for the original "starting" Air Force users:
    USAF: 16th TFS, 388th TFW
    Belgian Air Force: No.359 Squadron (<1979)
    Netherlands Air Force (KLU) No.322 Squadron (<1980)
    Those squadrons in the stock 3W squadronlist.ini (BAF & KLU) have their displayed name activated via either my (patent pending) fake SqTail decal, or a squadron badge decal, or both.
    When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see:
    F-16A Blk 1 Fighting Falcon (TMF)
    So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. This will also differentialize THIS one from the many other Falcon mods zipping around, including the stock 3W one.
    As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. The original readme is included. The 'Change Log' is, of course, in the Notes section below.
    Good Hunting & Happy Landings!

  3. Samurai, Headhunters, Panthers and Foxes: PACAF F-16C/Ds in the 1990s pt 1

                                                  Samurai, Headhunters, Panthers and Foxes
                                                        PACAF F-16C/Ds in the 1990s pt 1
    PACAF started transitioning their F-16 fleet in the very early 1990s from the initial F-16A/B models to the more advanced C/D models. 8th Fighter Wing in Korea and 432d Fighter Wing in Japan received Block 30 versions while the 18th Fighter Squadron in Alaska recieved the Block 40s. These units participated in many of the actions the USAF was involved in; including Deny Flight detachments in USAFE's AOR and no fly zone operations over Iraq.

    Included
    F-16C and D,  Blocks 30 and 40
    various period specific weapons and pilots
    various ini edits to match the era
    new hangar and loading screens

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    NOTE: The D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models.the best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters. The load outs are the same so you will be
    able to load them out easy

                                   Vipers in Reserve
                 F-16s in the USAF Reserves in the 1990s
    This mod is to represent the F-16 in AFRES service in the early 1990s. All units except for the 457th FS and 704th FS are included, these units can be found in the Texas Falcons release.
    Units
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     89th FS "Rhinos"                    F-16A Block 10         Wright Patterson AFB
     93rd FS "Florida Makos"       F-16A/B Block 15    Homestead AFB
                                                       F-16C     Block 32
    302nd FS "Sun Devils"            F-16C/D Block 32    Luke AFB
    465th FS "Okies"                      F-16A Block 10        Tinker AFB
    466th FS "Diamondbacks"     F-16C/D Block 30    Hill AFB
    706th FS "Cajuns"                   F-16C/D Block 30    NAS New Orleans
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Included
    skins for TW based                       F-16A  Block 10
    DA mod Team Viper                      F-16A/B Block 15 OCU, F-16D Block 30

    various period specific weapons and pilots
    various ini edits to match the era
    new hangar and loading screens
    NOTE 1: The B and D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. the best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters rather than as a flight of their own. The loadouts are the same so you will be able to load the same weapons.
    *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
    NOTE 2: The F-16A Block 10s do not have corresponding B models at this time. The existing  Generation 1 models in my opinion need more work than is feasible to bring them to SF2 standards. There are entries in the numbers.lst for B models in the event a new Block 10 two seater becomes available.
    ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
    LOADING SCREEN NOTE: I will be including various loading screens with the diferent packs available. 
    different load screens will be available within each aircraft ini
    if you already had a different version and prefer that one, simply remove the "//" from the one you want and add to the one without.

                 Charlie Vipers on Guard     Part 3: Block 40/42s in the 90s

    This mod is the thrid of three to represent the various versions of the F-16C/D in US Air National Guard service during the 1990s. It was a busy time with potential conflicts in Korea and active operations ongoing over Iraq and the Balkans. This mod aims to show the
    units as they were at that time.
    Included
    Team Viper F-16C Block 40 and 42
    new F-16D Block 40 and 42 models
    various period specific weapons and pilots
    various ini edits to match the era

    ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
    SECOND NOTE: The 124th FS Skin in the Block 40 does only have one serial. This unit only had one Block 40 for a short time before it went to Europe. This serial (89-2032) was the same aircraft that CPT Scott O'Grady
    was shot down in June 1995.

  8. Texas Falcons: Vipers over the Lone Star State (90s Edition)

    Texas Falcons:
     F-16s over the Lone Star State 1990-1999
    This mod represents the various models of F-16 that were in service in the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve during the 1990s. These units include the
    - 457th Fighter Squadron (Air Force Reserve) at Fort Worth
    - 704th Fighter Squadron (Air Force Reserve) at Bergstrom AFB
    - 111th Fighter Squadron (Texas ANG) at Ellington ANGB
    - 182d  Fighter Squadron (Texas ANG) at Lackland AFB
    These units have utilized a range of F-16 models over the years and a wider range of missions. The 704th deactivated in 1996, and the 111th converted to MQ-1s in 2009. But the 457th and 182d are still going strong as Viper operators today
    Included

    NOTE: The D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. the best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters. The load outs are the same so you will be able to load teh same weapons.
    Other Note: If there is not a two seater assigned to a unit, there will not be a D model skin for that unit. I have checked about a dozen times to be sure I wasnt missing something

  9. Charlie Vipers on Guard Part 1: Block 25s in the 90s

                 Charlie Vipers on Guard
                 Part 1: Block 25s in the 90s
    This mod is the first of three to represent the various versions of the F-16C/D in US Air National Guard service during the 1990s. It was a busy time with potential conflict in Korea and active operations ongoing over Iraq and the Balkans. This mod aims to show the units as they were at that time. Included is a new F-16D Block 25 from ravenclaw_007 to cover the two seaters in each unit that had them.

    Included
    Team Viper F-16C Block 25 with historical ANG skins
    new F-16D Block 25
    various period specific weapons and pilots
    various ini edits to match the era
    new hangar and loading screens
    NOTE: The D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. the best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters rather than as a flight of their own.
    The load outs are the same so you will be able to load the same weapons.
    ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
    LOADING SCREEN NOTE: I will be including various loading screens with the diferent packs available. In the F-16C_B25.iniyou will find these lines
            LoadingScreen=F-16C_Loading_119.jpg
            //LoadingScreen=F-16C_Loading_111.jpg
    installing this mod will have default loading screen with the New Jersey ANG aircraft. if you already had a different version and prefer that one, simply remove the "//" from the one you want and add to the one without.

  10. Vipers Over Bosnia Pt 1: USAFE F-16C/D Operation Deny Flight

    Vipers Over Bosnia
        Part 1: USAFE F-16C/Ds During Operation Deny Flight
    In April 1993, NATO had documented over 500 unauthorized military flights over Bosnian airspace since the United Nations passed Resolution 781 that prohibited those flights. The Umited Nations then passed Resolution 816 that extended the flight ban to all fixed and rotary wing in the country and authorized memeber states to use all measures need to comply.
    On 12 April 1993, NATO began Operation Deny Flight, combat air patrols to enforce the no fly zone over Bosnia Herzogovina. In June 1993, Resolution 836 allowed NATO to also provide close air support to UNPROFOR on request (This was not often used because requests had to go to the UN in New York, then to NATO then back to the pilots and ground forces involved). As a result, the typical loadout was of air to air missiles as well as a pair of bombs and jaming pod.
    The closest American air base to the conflict zone was Aviano AB in Italy. Many US Fighter units forward deployed there at the beginning, including elements of the 86th Fighter Wing (512th and 526th Fighter Squadrons) which was transitioning from the F-16C Block 30 to the F-16C Block 40. This unit was in the middle of that transition on 28 Feb 1994 when elements of the 526th FS engaged 6 Serbian J-21 jets with the USAF claiming 4 downed (the Serbs claim 5 were lost).
    Later in 1994, the 86th Wing ceased fighter operations and the two squadrons were moved to Aviano to become part of the 31st Fighter Wing (510th FS and 555th FS). These squadrons continued operations over Bosnia through the shoot down incident on 2 Jun 1995 and the air strikes conducted as part of Operation Deliberate Force.
    With the adopting of the Dayton Peace Accords, Deny Flight was determined to no longer be necessary and terminated on 15 December 1995.
    This mod represents the four USAFE main F-16 squadrons that took part, the 512th FS Dragons, 526th FS Knights, 510th FS Buzzards, and 555th FS Triple Nickel. It also covers the two different blocks of F-16 flown at the time (30 and 40)
     
    Included
    F-16C Block 30 and 40, F-16D Block 40
    new F-16D Block 40
    various period specific weapons and pilots
    various ini edits to match the era
    new hangar and loading screens
    NOTE: The D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. The best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters. The load outs are the same so you will be able to load the same weapons.

  11. F-16 Block 15 FAV

    General Dynamics F-16A/B Block 15 OCU Venezuelan Air Force
    This model represents the F-16 A/B in service with the Venezuelan Air Force since 1983 to present date
    Venezuela was the first Latin-American country who got permission from the US to buy F-16s. They stayed the sole operator in Southern America untill Chile received their new F-16s in the course of 2005.
    Peace Delta
    In May 1982, the government of Venezuela signed an agreement to buy 18 block 15 F-16A's and six Block 15 F-16B's to replace the fleet of Mirage III interceptors and Mirage 5 ground-attack aircraft serving with the Fuerza Aérea Venezolana. This purchase was under the Peace Delta Foreign Military Sales program. The original intent was for an order of up to 72 aircraft, but budget restraints lowered that number to 24.
    However, the Venzuelan order was not approved immediately because the US government wanted to sell Venezuela the F-16/79 (a slightly degraded F-16 version developed for export orders) instead. In 1983, the US government abandoned its hopes of selling the F-16/79, and finally approved the sale of the F100-powered F-16s to Venezuela
    The FAV accepted its first aircraft in September 1983. FAV F-16s wear an attractive green/brown color scheme, with the insignia of the Aviacion de Combate (Combat Aviation) on the tail and roundels on the wings. A four-digit serial is painted on the fuselage just below the tail fin.
    Of the original 24 aircraft that Venezuela bought, three have crashed: the first two, due to engine failure, and the second one, an F-16B, crashed during a maneuver on an air show at Base Aerea El Libertador, where Grupo 16 is based. In this accident, the first and second commander of the squadron where killed. The Venezuelan Air Force was looking for US government approval to replace these two aircraft and was planning to overhaul and update the remaining 22 airframes. At the end of October 1997, the US government approved the sale of the two F-16s, as well as an upgrade packet including the F-100-PW-220E. However, the purchase of the two attrition airframes has been halted until further notice.

    This pack contains the stand-alone version of the F-16 Fighting Falcon aircrafts from "Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary". This mod contains accurate ODS livery, nose art and serial numbers from ODS. This is just a sample of what you will find in the expansive "Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary" pack. If you like this mod and want (much much) more! Please check out the "Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary" mod here....
    https://combatace.com/files/file/17521-operation-desert-storm-30th-anniversary-edition/
    !! DO NOT INSTALL THIS MOD into the "Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary" pack. That pack already has these aircrafts, customized for the ODS30 theater!

    Installation...
    ---------------------
    1) Copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder into your mod folder and over-write if required.
    2) Update your "...\Flight\SOUNDLIST.INI" with the contents of the "Add F16 SoundList.txt". Please don't forget to maintain the number sequence in the sound list.
    3) Check, ensure (or update) all the squadrons in this pack is in your "SQUADRONLIST.INI" file. Once you look at that file, you will know what to do. 
    * Please note that some squadrons may have multiple CO planes, this is not a mistake. Rather than just picking one CO, I am respresenting all the COs for that squardon during the period. So both COs could pop up in given scenario. I rather have them than cut them so...it's only a game...
    * Tweaked and Tested by the ODS30 team!

  16. F-16E/F Block 60 REDUX

    F-16E and E Block 60 Desert Falcon's redone!
    I uploaded a older E/F pack that was pretty awful to be honest here is a much better redo!
    Made using the Block 50/52 models now to make it look better in general as well as some updates to the skin!
     
    Built using the Greek and Turkish F-16's as a base so if you have those the E/F should work just fine! You should already have all the weapons and sounds from earlier F-16 packs! Happy Hunting in the Gulf!
     
    Thank you to the Viper Team and everyone else who has worked on the SF2 vipers or this would never have been possible!

    History
     
    Since the early nineties, the Italian Air Force has eagerly been seeking a replacement for its vintage Aeritalia F-104S Starfighters. Its intended replacement is the Eurofighter Typhoon. Since this program has been running behind schedule for a few years, the Italian air force needed a stop-gap solution. Because the AMI possesses a vast number of Tornado IDS planes, they decided to lease 24 Tornado ADV fighters from the RAF for a 10-year period. This lease ended in 2003 so a replacement was sought. At first the AMI opted to extend the lease period with another 10 years. This proved to be too expensive, so the Italian government turned to the US. The requirement was for a fighter that could perform the air defense mission for 5 to 10 years, until the arrival of the Typhoon.
     
    Inventory
     
    Peace Caesar
     
    On March 15th, 2001 the Italian government signed an LoA for a 5-year lease (with an option on another 5 years) of 34 F-16s and four spare airframes, in a deal worth up to $777 million over a 10-year period. The aircraft were delivered between July 2003 and November 2004. In total, 30 F-16A ADFs as well as 1 F-16B ADF and 3 F-16B block 5 & 10's will be delivered. Four more planes will be provided for use as spare parts.
     
    Before delivery to Italy, the aircraft are brought out of storage at Davis-Monthan AFB, Ariz. and transfered to the Ogden ALC at Hill AFB, Utah, where they undergo 220 days of refurbishment and upgrades.
     
    The Falcons are given a complete refurbishment, which complied with all technical compliance-technical orders that have changed since the aircraft was placed in stasis in Arizona. The depot teams at Hill AFB did structural modifications including Falcon-Up, which replaces particular bulkheads and the structural life improvement program, which strengthens holes around the fuel cell panels and wheel wells by compressing the molecules with 30,000 pounds of pressure. The wings were removed and the bulkhead furthest aft that holds the vertical wing was replaced. The landing gear was refurbished and its bulkhead was also replaced.
     
    The flight controls actuators are replaced with new actuators. In addition the computers and instruments that provide the Falcon its technological edge are removed, sent to the appropriate facilities to be tested then repaired if necessary. All equipment that is a time change item and that has less than a full year's worth of service left is changed.
     
    Approximately 100 Italian Air Force maintenance officers, instructors and technicians are receiving F-16 maintenance training at Lockheed Martin facilities in Fort Worth, Texas.
     
    End of service
     
    On May 23rd, 2012 a disbanding ceremony was held at Trapani-Birgi AFB to mark the disbandment of the resident 18 Gruppo, which was the sole surviving F-16 squadron within the AMI. This marked to end of the service life of the F-16 within the Italian Air Force. This means the AMI is the first air force to fly with the F-16 that phases out the type.
     
    Modifications & Armament
     
    The planes provided to Italy have a standard ADF configuration. All aircraft receive the uprated Pratt & Whitney F100-220E engine and undergo the Falcon-Up structural enhancement program. It is confirmed that a number of weapon systems will be released to the AMI to be used in conjunction with the F-16s, including the AIM-120 AMRAAM missile,

  18. F-16A Block 15 Air Defense Fighter (ADF)

    Air National Guard F-16A Block 15 Air Defense Fighter (ADF)
     
     
     
    The F-16 Air Defense Fighter (ADF) was a special variant of the Block 15 optimized for the United States Air National Guard's fighter interception mission.
     
     
     
    I started this by breathing some new life into the old TMF F-16A ADF but then after posting some screen shots JAT kindly offered to do an updated model so here it is:
     
    - Updated F-16A ADF 3D model by JAT81500
     
    - New skins using the Team Viper F-16C High Res templates modified to fit the ADF.
     
    - Detailed Team Viper F-16 pilot model and ejection seat.
     
    - Flight model updated to the standard of the latest Team Viper F-16 flight model.
     
    - Third Wire F-16A cockpit and avionics modified to include the real world ADF upgrade (AIM-7/120).
     
    - Team Viper effects, sounds, fuel tanks and weapons.
     
     
     
    To install:
     
    Drop into your C:\Users\xxxxxx\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters XXXXX
     
     
     
    Credits:
     
    - JAT81500 for doing the updated F-16A ADF 3D model
     
    - TMF/ Mirage Factory for the original F-16A ADF.
     
    - The Viper Team for thier F-16C/AM series.
     
    - Ravenclaw for the weapons.
     
    - Migbuster fot the F-16C skin templates.
     
    - =58=Sprig, Creepn_Death & suhsjake for the old F-16A ADF skins I used some of the decals from.
     
    - FANATIC MODDER
     
     
     
    Enjoy,

    History
     
    In October 1986, the USAF announced that operational block 15 F-16A/B aircraft would be converted to air defense fighters for the Air National Guard, and would take over the fighter interception mission, providing the primary defense of North America against bombers and cruise missiles.
     
    The first F-16A ADF conversion was completed in February 1989, while a contract was placed for kits to update and modify a total of 270 F-16A/B's at the Ogden Air Logistics Center in Utah. The Block 15 airframes used for the ADF program were all meant to be upgraded to block 15OCU standard, and both programs ran in conjunction. Aircraft entering the Ogden ALC for ADF upgrade also received the Block 15OCU avionics installation. The net result is that all ADF aircraft are Block 15OCU airframes. The last ADF left Ogden in 1992.
     
    Structure & Avionics
     
    Modifications included Bendix King (now Allied Signal) AN/ARC-200HF/SSB radios with Have Quick II Secure Speech Module and the Teledyne/E Systems Mk.XII Advanced IFF system (APX-109). The APG-66 radar was modified (designated APG-66A) to provide look down/shoot-down capability, enhanced small target detection, and CW (Continuous Wave) illumination for AIM-7 guidance.
     
    A 150,000 candlepower night identification spotlight was installed on the port side of the nose (below and in front of the cockpit) to aid in the identification of nighttime intruders. The aircraft were equipped to carry 600 (US) gallon (2,271 liter) external drop tanks, and to carry 6 BVR missiles such as the AIM-7 Sparrow or AIM-120 AMRAAM.
     
    Modifications & Upgrades
     
    The ADF aircraft can be distinguished from "standard" F-16A/B's by several external identifying features, such as long and thin horizontal bulges on the base of the vertical tail (only A-models), plus a set of four blade antenna, nicknamed "bird-slicer", carried just forward of the canopy (as part of the IFF system).
     
    The bulges are caused by the relocation of the Bendix-King AN/ARC-200 high frequency single-sideband radio to the leading edge of the fin. This in turn caused the flight control accumulators, which were installed one over the other, to be relocated to either side of the tail fin. The bulges were installed to provide sufficient room for these accumulators. Note that, since the Bravo-model ADF's do not have the Bendix HF radio, they also don't have the bulges.
     
    Production
     
    All ADF F-16s are modified airframes. Existing Block 15 models where converted to the Block 15OCU upgrade and to ADF standard at once. In total, 271 airframes, consisting in 246 A-models and 25 B-models have been converted between 1989 and 1992. Minor differences exist between the A-model and B-model as described earlier.
     
    Because of the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989 and the opening of relationships between West and East, the program had lost its major reason of existence, being the protection of the North American continent against Russian bombers flying over the North Pole. Although the program was finished and all aircraft stayed into service with the Air National Guard detachments, they were the first to be mothballed at AMARC with the first major restructuring of the USAF. Beginning in 1994, these aircraft began to be replaced by newer F-16C variants. By 2005, only the North Dakota ANG was flying this variant, with these last examples retired by 2007.
     
    A lot of these ADF F-16s are a very cheap and quite modern asset for allied countries. These aircraft have relatively low flying hours on their airframes. A lot of them are sold on the second-hand market. Jordan was the first to receive 12 A-models and 4-models under the Peace Falcon program in 1997. Most have since been received the Mid Life Upgrade (MLU). Thailand has acquired another batch of 15 A-models and 1 B-model under the Peace Naresuan IV program. Also the Italian Air Force received 26 A-models and 4 B-models under a 10-year lease agreement called Peace Caesar.
