NATO Fighters 4+ Part 5
By Dave
NATO Fighters Update #5 by eburger
This version is for the latest patch versions and lots of "goodies".
You will need NF4+ Parts 1-4 of course to have a complete mod.
-----------------------------------------------
NATO Fighters IV+: Post-Dec2009 Update Pack # 5
-----------------------------------------------
This package contains a fifth update pack for the NATO Fighters IV+ (NF4+) add-on designed for "Strike Fighters 2: Europe" (SF2E) from ThirdWire. It does several things:
1) Adds new aircraft and ground objects
2) Adds new textures to existing aircraft
3) Adds large number of new ground objects
4) Updates or adds over 200 weapons and guns
5) Fixes or updates numerous other files in the
original NF4+ mod
6) Updates items for May2011 & Exp. Pack 2 compatibility
This update pack should be applied to SF2E/NF4+ installations that are patched to the Dec2009 or later patch level and that already have the first four NF4+ update packs applied.
IMPORTANT: If your NF4 installation includes Exp. Pack 2, you must be running at the May2011 patch level or later.
Please note the those running at the May2011 patch level or later will have an additional installation step to add update files for that patch level to their installations. Those running SF2E Expansion Pack 2 will have still another installation step (after installing the May2011 updates).
~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Copy the contents of the \1_All_Patch_Levels directory to your SF2E Mod Folder,
overwriting as prompted.
If you are NOT running at the May2011 patch level or later (incl. exp. Pack 2),
then you're finished. If you are running at the May2011 patch level or later,
then proceed to the next step.
2. May2011 Patch Level: if you are running at the May2011 patch level or later, then
copy the contents of the \2_May2011 directory to your SF2E Mod Folder, overwriting
as prompted.

NF4+ includes Exp. Pack 2, then you have one more step.
3. Exp. Pack 2 Only: copy the contents of the \3_ExpPack2 directory to your SF2E Mod

StrikeFighters2 "Operation Hydra"
By Spectre8750
29 Jun 2011
StrikeFighters2 Cuba "Operation Hydra" V1.0 for post May 2011 Update.
Campaign For SF2:Europe, SF2:Vietnam and SF2:Israel Merged Install.
This is a Campaign that takes place in the Bahamas and Caribbean with Cuba
being central to the order of battle. Soviet and Chinese Forces are
gathering in the North and West and are first trying for a foothold through
Cuba into the United States. Guantanamo Bay has been taken by Soviet and
Chinese Forces. Some are aware of certain individuals in control and are
pushing for One World Control through International Organizations such as
the U.N., CFR, IMF, International Banks and the Top 2 percent whom Own half
of the entire planet trying for One World Control, Along with One World
Religion by 2015.
I've Melded some of Stary's Taiwan and Israel Tiles with my Korean Tiles
for some variation.
The Campaign includes USAF, USMC, and USN with Carrier support. Australia,
Mexico, Honduras, Cuba, Soviet, China, Royal Air Force and 3 Mercenary
Aircraft for Campaign play.
Installing the Campaign:
Campaign files with menu pics and Music files, Rain, Ejection Seat and
Parachute Effects are included. Also Included 1 Icon File for the Main Dir
to use with the Desktop Shortcut.
A few extra Files are needed: The E-3A.LOD's for the E-3 "Sentry" can be
found in Operation Desert Storm in the "ODS_part1.exe" file or at Skunkworks.
The A-37B-R5.LOD for Aircraft Folder and A37B_PIT-R1.LOD for the Cockpit for
the A-37B Dragonfly and the MQ1-R0B.LOD for the MQ-1 Predator at Skunkworks.
Just drop these into the corresponding Aircraft Folders.
Make a copy of your "StrikeFighters2 Israel.exe" or
"StrikeFighters2 Europe.exe" in the program folder and rename it to
"StrikeFighters2 Cuba.exe". Also make a copy of the INI and rename it
"StrikeFighters2 Cuba.ini" in the main dir.
Now Run the New "StrikeFighters2 Cuba.exe" and go the the
"Saved Game folder" "StrikeFighters2 Cuba" and delete the "Aircraft"
and "GroundObject" folders. New ones will be created. I've included all the
Aircraft and Ground Objects including the Default SF2 files you need,
You do not have to sift through them. You can add Aircraft later if you
want. Also open the Options.ini file and change:
[singleMission]
AircraftType=A-10C_10
Service=USAF
........
MissionDate=2010
StartYear=0
EndYear=2050 <------------to this
EditMission=FALSE
Now Run the Mod Installer and point it to the New User Directory
"StrikeFighters2 Cuba Folder. Overwrite if it asks.
You should be ready to go.
I want to thank the Community for all their effort.

NATO Fighters 4+ for SF2 Part 4 (Aircraft Folder 2)
By Dave
NATO Fighters 4 Plus for SF2:E Jun 2009 patch only.
Read the readme or suffer the consequences of infinite clowning.
This mod is dedicated to bpao, whose contributions to this mod are far and wide and would of been sorely lacking without his support.
We miss you my friend.
Also if you try to download just the planes only, you will be missing a lot of files. Enjoy the WHOLE mod, not just the planes.

SF2NA: The RSR Edition
By eburger68
Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic
- The RSR Edition
This is an add-on package for the "Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic" (SF2NA) Expansion Pack available at CombatAce. The "SF2NA: RSR Edition" (SF2NA-RSR) add-on offers a new campaign that is markedly different from the default "Northern Sabre" campaign that ships with SF2NA as well as fourteen stand-alone missions that can be flown independently of the campaign. Also included are eleven new aircraft and a four new ground objects to fill out the campaign and missions. Please note that while the campaign and missions are inspired by a certain popular novel from the 1980's, they are not designed to faithfully re-create down to the last detail episodes from that book.
This add-on package is designed to be applied over the top of an existing installation of the SF2NA Expansion Pack. You can download the three main Expansion Pack files here:
Part 1:
http://combatace.com/files/file/13980-sf2na-expansion-pack-part-1-of-3/
Part 2:
http://combatace.com/files/file/13979-sf2na-expansion-pack-part-2-of-3/
Part 3:
http://combatace.com/files/file/13978-sf2na-expansion-pack-part-3-of-3/
Please take a look over the remainder of this ReadMe before installing this add-on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The minimum requirements for this add-on package are the same as for the SF2NA Expansion Pack.
REQUIRED: Strike Fighters 2 North Atlantic (SFNA), plus
Strike Fighters 2 (SF2), plus
Strike Fighters 2 Europe (SF2E), plus
Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam (SF2V)
PATCH LEVEL: Mar2012 or higher
As this mod is an add-on to the SF2NA Expansion Pack, you must have that earlier mod already installed and working.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's how to install this add-on package:
1. Ensure that SF2NA, SF2V, SF2, and SF2E are all properly installed & updated as part of a
merged install.
2. Ensure that the SF2NA Expansion Pack is properly installed and working. (See above for
links to all the download components.)
3. Unpack SF2NA_RSR.7z to a safe place on your drive.
4. Open the \To_Mod_Folder directory. Drag and drop all the files and folders from within
the \To_Mod_Folder sub-folder to your SF2NA Expansion Pack Mod Folder, overwriting as
prompted.
At this point the SF2NA-RSR add-on is installed and you're ready to play the new campaign.
For information on the individual missions that are also included as well as some optional items that you can install, please see the following two sections.

This add-on package includes files to support the use of Gerwin's alternate IcelandNA terrain as well as Baltika's Iceland02 terrain. These optional files are contained in the \_Optional directory.
\_Optional\Baltika:
This directory contains files to update the version of Baltika's Iceland02 terrain that is included in the SF2NA Expansion Pack (also as an Optional install). It also contains a custom version of the new campaign for use with Baltika's terrain.
To use these updated optional files you must install Baltika's Iceland02 as directed in the SF2NA Expansion Pack documentation for that terrain as well as the updates for it included in the SF2NA Expansion Pack.
Once the terrain and original updates are installed, you can install the additional updates for the terrain included in this directory. You can also install the alternate version of the new campaign (which will overwrite the standard version of the new campaign that works on the IcelandNA terrain).
\_Optional\Gerwin:
This directory contains files to update Gerwin's alternate IcelandNA terrain, which is included in the SF2NA Expansion Pack. To use these updated files you must have Gerwin's terrain installed as instructed in the documentation for the SF2NA Expansion Pack.
To use Gerwin's alternate terrain with the new campaign, you will need to edit the new campaign's main .INI in the same way you did the campaigns included in the SF2NA Expansion Pack. See Step 7 of the installation instructions for Gerwin's alternate terrain in the SF2NA Expansion Pack.

Summary of New Campaign
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This add-on supplies a new campaign set in June 1986 for the SF2NA Expansion Pack. This campaign is markedly different from the stock "Northern Sabre" campaign in that the Soviets control all of Iceland at the start of the campaign.
A large USN/USMC naval convoy approaches from the southwest to re-take the island from the Soviet forces entrenched on the island. That convoy consists of two carrier groups (led the Independence & the America), two amphibious groups (led by the Tarawa & Peleliu), and a naval gunfire support group (anchored by the USS Iowa & USS New Jersey). USAF, USN, and RAF aircraft based in Scotland fly from off-map air bases in support of the convoy.
The first few days of the campaign are spent striking Soviet targets on the island, fending off Soviet long range recon aircraft searching for the naval convoy, and searching for Soviet naval units thought to be moving towards Iceland. The Marines land at two points near Mt. Snaefllsjokull on the western side of the island north of Reykjavik.
The new campaign appears in the campaign list as: 1986-0618 Northern Sabre (RSR).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Individual Missions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As noted earlier, this add-on includes fourteen missions that can be flown independently of the campaign. These missions are located in the \_Missions directory. For instructions on how to install and play the individual missions, please see the ReadMe for the missions included there.

By JonathanRL
This is an all-inclusive package. It already contains everything you need to play.
(Please read the included Credits file. I could not do what I do without the lovely people who helped me by allowing me to use their work!)
The official soundtrack of the mod is
with Sabaton.
Before downloading the main files again if you seek to patch the game, check the support topic. Patches are posted there too.
Main Features:
New 512x512 Terrain Tiles by Stary; resident master of Terrains who have made sure that the Baltic region looks the part and steadily pushes the limits of the SF2 Engine.
New Campaign: That is right. We did not settle with just upgrading the ones we already had, you will get a remake of the classic Operation Mannerheims Shield set in the year 2014.
New Flyable Aircraft: F 16AM Falcon, F 18 Hornet, J 32E Lansen , The J 35J Draken, Danish & Finnish Drakens, SK-16 & Helikopter 15B amongst others, the Helicopter with its own Visby Operations Mission! While most of these have been available by talented modders for some time; we have now a proper playground for them. Others, such as Ravenclaws J 32E and the Helicopter 15B has never been released.
New AI Aircraft: S 100C Argus, MiG 31BM, SU-25TM, Tu 16T Badger, Tu 22M3 Backfire, IL-10 Beast as well as compatibility with the AI Planes Pack Su-9.

Included Campaigns:
Campaign Name: The Catalina Affair
Year: 1952
Flyable Services: Swedish Air Force

Campaign Name: Operation Isbjörn
Year: 1956
Flyable Services: Swedish Air Force, Finnish Air Force, Norwegian Air Force
Naval Combat: Yes
Ground War Scale: Medium

Just with modern aircraft and adjusted accordingly. Gets very interesting as both sides start to run low on supply and have to risk losing missions to preserve their aircraft.
Installation:
This mod requires SF2: Europe. SF2 North Atlantic, Expansion Pack 1 and DLC 008 J 34 Hawker Hunter is highly recommended.
First of all, make sure you are using SF2: Europe and that it is patched to the latest version. This is _vital_.
Check http://www.thirdwire.com if you are unsure what the latest patch is, but the game should notify you if there is new patches out.
Delete ANY PRIOR TSF MOD INSTALLATION! This is vital as items has been renamed, moved or otherwise changed.
If you are using a mod, or plan to use one, TSF will mess around with settings other mods may be using. As such, creating a seperate mod folder for TSF is
a good idea. If you only plan to use TSF, then this step can be bypassed.
Go to your installation folder (Usually C:\Program Files\Thirdwire\Strike Fighters 2). Make a copy of Strike Fighters 2.exe / Strike Fighters 2 Europe.exe
depending on what you prefer and got installed. Name the Copy Strike Fighters 2 TSF.exe . Start your new .exe once, then close the game.
Now go to your Mod Folders. For Windows 7/Vista, this is located in C:\Users\Name\Saved Games\Thirdwire. For Windows XP Users, it is usually in My Documents.
Unzip the contents of the 7zip files "TSF2" into the mod folder of your choice. Allow any overwrites.
If you do not own Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic, then unzip "Unzip if you do not have SF2: NA.7z". Read the Readme included and follow it to the letter.
If you own Strike Figthers 2 Expansion Pack 1, unzip Install if you have SF2 Israel Expansion Pack 1.7z". Allow any overwrites.
If you own DLC 008 J 34 Hawker Hunter, unzip "Install if you have DLC 008 J 34 Hawker Hunter.7z". Allow any overwrites.

Other minor refinements.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a Campaign i created to hit on the possability of the situation
in the Far East coming to a head and represent the possible Air Battle.
The Campaign includes South Korea, Australia, Singapore, Japan and USAF,
USMC, USN with Carrier support. And China, North Korea and Soviet Union.
Plus Mercenary.
Extra Files are required: The E-2C-R3.LOD for the E-2C "HawkEye" from
Skunkworks, all other files for that Aircraft are included and modded. Do
not overwrite the other Files. The E-3A.LOD's for the E-3 "Sentry" can be
found in Operation Desert Storm in the "ODS_part1.exe" file. You only need
the LOD's all others are already included. Also the F-16A(10) uses the
F-16A_Netz.LOD's not included but will work if You have SF2:Isreal loaded.
If not it is not crucial as it is for the Mercenary Player only and won't
affect the Game if not present. All other files are included and modified
and needed as is. If you modify included files, I can't guarantee results.
Also you will need to have the A-6A and A-7E Stock LOD's for both
'88 OLYMPIC CAP Single Missions .
Installing the Campaign:
Install as per the Knowledge base for Standalone Mods.
And Delete The Aircraft and Ground Objects before you dump these files in.
Also Included are Icons for the Main Dir to use with the Desktop Shortcut.
Make a copy of one of your SF2's EXE in the "Strike Fighters 2" Dir and
rename it to "StrikeFighters2 Modern Warfare Korea.exe". Also make a copy
of the INI and rename it "StrikeFighters2 Modern Warfare Korea.ini" in the
"Strike Fighters 2" root dir. Make sure they are placed in the "Strike
Fighters 2" Dir. Open "StrikeFighters2 Modern Warfare Korea.ini" file and
Change it to the following at the bottom:
[Module]
ModuleDataFile=ModuleMWKorea.cat
DefaultTerrainData=Korea
DefaultAircraft=F-15C <----can be any aircraft in the mod.
This will allow the use of the "Menu" file ModuleWFI.cat that goes in your
"Strike Fighters 2" "Menu" dir. It adds Screens and Music.
Then run the new exe once and go to the new "Mod" Dir it created and
delete all the planes in the "Aircraft" Dir. You can leave any or all that
you like. Do delete the Ground Objects in the
"StrikeFighters2 Modern Warfare Korea\Objects\GroundObject" Dir before
adding New Ground Object Files.
Also you need to edit the Options.INI in the "Mod"
Main Folder to reflect the Mod or You Will have problems with the Game
hanging or not closing properly. Example:
[instantAction]
AircraftType=F-15E <---needs to be an Aircraft in the Mod
MissionMap=Korea <---needs to be Korea
StartTime=16:30:00
StartDate=09/18/2015 <---should be a Date within the Campaigns Time Frame
StartTimeDeviation=120
TextureSet=0
NationalMarking=0
SquadronMarking=0
AircraftNumber=0
KillMarking=0
[singleMission]
AircraftType=F-16C(40) <---
Service=USAF
MissionMap=KOREA <---
MissionType=CAP
MissionTime=NOON
MissionWeather=CLEAR
AirActivity=NORMAL
AirDefenseActivity=NORMAL
FlyAll=FALSE
LoadMission=FALSE
LoadMissionFilename=????
MissionDate=2012 <---
StartYear=0
EndYear=2050 <---
EditMission=FALSE
Do this for all related Sections in the Options.INI.
I included an Options.INI if you want to use it.
Then Drop contents of the 7Z files into the new "MOD" Dir,
overwrite when it asks.
Now go to the new "Mod" "\StrikeFighters2 Modern Warfare Korea\Terrains\Korea"
Folder and open the KOREA.INI file and remove the semicolon in front of the
game you have loaded as follows. Example if you have SF2 Israel.
;CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
;CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat
CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
;CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat
Leave all others with a semicolon.
You should be ready to go.
I want to thank the Following for making
This Mod possible:

Operation Tainted Cigar for SF2 - Part 1 of 2
By eburger68
Operation Tainted Cigar
for Strike Fighters 2
This package contains an updated version of the Operation Tainted Cigar (OTC) mod package for "Strike Fighters 2" (SF2). In addition to making the original mod compatible with SF2, this updated version also adds a number of items that were released in the years subsequent to original two versions of OTC for SFP1, including:
- a completely revamped/overhauled Cuba terrain
- a number of new aircraft
- other aircraft updated to SF2 standards
- plenty of new aircraft skins
- a bevy of new ground objects, incl. new ships
- a handful of new effects, weapons, and guns
- a more historically plausible campaign
- SF2NA-compatible campaign w/ carrier battle groups
To use this mod, you must have "Strike Fighters 2" (SF2) in a merged install that also includes "Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam" (SF2V). It is recommended that your target install also include "Strike Fighters 2 Europe" (SF2E) and "Strike Fighters 2 North Atlantic" (SFNA), but neither is required.
Note that this is a COMPLETE mod package. There is no need to install either of the original OTC mod versions for SFP1.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Minimum Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To install and play this mod, you must have the following installed as part of your target installation base:
REQUIRED: Strike Fighters 2 (SF2), plus
Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam (SF2V)
PATCH LEVEL: Mar2012 or higher
This mod does support installations that include "Strike Fighters 2 Europe" (SF2E) and "Strike Fighters 2 North Atlantic" (SF2NA), but they are not required.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before installing, please ensure that your target SF2 install meets the minimum requirements laid out above.
The main installation process consists of three main steps. Those without SF2NA in their base SF2 install will have an additional installation step at the end.
Please read the following instructions carefully and follow them religiously. If you wind up with a non-working mod install, then you likely failed to follow the instructions properly. If you post to the CombatAce.com forums and report that the mod isn't working or that you can't see any new aircraft or campaigns, I'm simply going to tell you to review this ReadMe and try installing again.
-----------------------------------
* STEP 1: PREPARE THE MOD FOLDER *
-----------------------------------
This mod requires a separate Mod Folder. Please do not attempt to install this mod over or combine it with other mods such as NATO Fighter 5 or the SF2V Expansion Pack.
- Open your SF2 Installation directory and make a copy of StrikeFighters2.exe. If SF2NA is part of your target install, then make a copy of "StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic.exe" instead. Rename the copied file to StrikeFighters2_OTC.exe (or whatever unique name you prefer).
- Run the newly copied and renamed .EXE file, then exit back out to the Windows desktop after navigating through a few menus. A custom Mod Folder for your OTC mod install will have been created in one of these locations:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder]
Windows Vista: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder]
Windows 7: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder]
...where [YourModFolder] matches the name of the copied .EXE file that you created.
- Open your Mod Folder and delete the \Objects sub-directory (including everything in it).
Now you're ready to install the OTC mod proper.
-------------------------------------------------
* STEP 2: INSTALL MAIN COMPONENTS TO MOD FOLDER *
-------------------------------------------------
This is the easiest step.
- Unpack the two OTC archive packages that you downloaded to a location on your hard drive.
- Move the *contents* of the \To_Mod_Folder directory from each package to your Mod Folder (created in Step 1 above). (Note: do not simply drag and drop the folder named "To_Mod_Folder" or you will end up with a non-working install.)
If you've moved everything correctly, you should have a new \Objects sub-directory in your Mod Folder, along with a few new other sub-directories.
----------------------------
* STEP 3: EDIT OPTIONS.INI *
----------------------------
This step involves a bit of text editing, so please pay attention.
Open the Options.INI file in your Mod Folder. Locate the "Single Mission" section. I recommend setting the StartYear= and EndYear= as follows:
StartYear=1948
EndYear=1990
Now, locate the "Instant Action" section and replace it with the following:
[instantAction]
AircraftType=F-8C_MF
MissionMap=CUBA
StartTime=16:37
StartDate=10/28/1962
StartTimeDeviation=120
TextureSet=0
NationalMarking=0
SquadronMarking=0
AircraftNumber=0
KillMarking=0
Finally, a little further down you should find the "Campaign" section. Replace it with the following:
[Campaign]
CampaignName=19621028 Op Tainted Cigar
PlayerService=USAF
PlayerUnit=481st TFS, 27th TFW
AircraftType=F-100D
Difficulty=HARD
Length=NORMAL
AircraftSupply=NORMAL
WeaponSupply=LIMITED
LoadCampaign=TRUE
CampaignSavename=DefaultCampaignSave
Save your changes and close the Options.INI file.
-------------------------------------------------
* STEP 4: Extra Step for Installs without SF2NA *
-------------------------------------------------
If your target SF2 installation does NOT include SF2NA, then you have a few more files to copy over to your Mod Folder (and a few things to remove as well).
- Open the \SF2_Only folder in the directory to which you unpacked the two OTC archive packages.
- Copy everything from the \SF2_Only folder to your Mod Folder, allowing it to overwrite as prompted. (Again, do NOT simply grab the \SF2_Only folder itself and drag it over to your Mod Folder; rather, copy the CONTENTS of the \SF2_Only folder to your Mod Folder.)
Now for the removals:
- remove the following items from \Objects\Aircraft in your Mod Folder: E-2A, E-2C (these aircraft require SF2NA).
- remove the following items from \Objects\GroundObject in your Mod Folder: Adams, Farragut, GearingFRAM1B, Kashin, Kynda, LPH-2, & USNFrigate (these ships require SF2NA).
* * * * *
THAT'S IT. Your "Operation Tainted Cigar for SF2" mod should now be ready to use. You may consider installing some of the "optional" items as described in the next section.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation of Optional Items
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This mod package includes a number of "optional" items. Some of these optional items require you to have "Strike Fighters 2: Europe" (SF2E) in your base SF2 install. Others require you to copy over LODs from third-party mods available from the A-Team (DAT) or Yankee Air Pirate. You can find these optional items in the \Optional folder (itself located in the directory where you unpacked the two OTC archive packages).
The optional items, which are found in the \Optional directory of the OTC archive packages you downloaded, can be grouped into three different buckets:
1. Optional Aircraft from SF2E
If SF2E is part of your base SF2 install, then you can copy over the F-84F and MiG-15bis from \Optional\Aircraft to \Objects\Aircraft in your Mod Folder. The campaigns will automatically use these ThirdWire aircraft in lieu of the substitute versions (F-84F_MF & MiG-15bis_FAR).
2. Optional DLC Aircraft from ThirdWire
If you have DLC 28 (AI Only Aircraft, Part 1), then you can install and use the F-104A and F-104C from that DLC offering in lieu of the third party models. Simply copy over F-104A_58 & F-104C_61 from \Optional\Aircraft to \Objects\Aircraft in your Mod Folder. The campaigns will automatically use these ThirdWire aircraft in lieu of the third-party versions installed by default.
3. Optional Aircraft from the A-Team
This version of OTC also supports the use of several aircraft available only from the A-Team's web site:
http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/Skunworks.html
These aircraft require the LOD files from the original aircraft. To use these aircraft you will need to:
1) download the original versions from the web site above and unpack them;
2) copy the LOD files (models) from the original versions to the corresponding
aircraft in \Optional\Aircraft,
3) copy the aircraft folders themselves from \Optional\Aircraft to \Objects\Aircraft
in your OTC Mod Folder.
Again, the campaigns will automatically use these aircraft in lieu of substitutes once they are installed to your Mod Folder.
Below is a table that summarizes the optional A-Team aircraft, the LOD files needed for each, the substitute aircraft that will be used if the A-Team aircraft are not installed, and the section where the original can be found on the A-Team's web site:
-------- --------- ----------- -----
Aircraft LOD Files Substitutes Notes
-------- --------- ----------- -----
C-2A C-2A-R3.LOD C-130A/KC-130F Modern Planes section
E-1B E-1B-R0e.LOD E-2A Beta Models section
P-3A P-3A-R0b.LOD P-2H Modern Planes section
S-2A S-2A-R2.LOD A-1H Modern Planes section
4. Optional Destroyers
Also included are two USN destroyers (the Charles F. Adams class and Farragut or Coontz class) based on the DLG-10 included in the "Yankee Air Pirate 2" and "Yankee Air Pirate 3" commercial mods. To use these optional destroyers you must have the necessary LOD files from "Yankee Air Pirate".
Installation of these destroyers is simple:
1) Remove the substitute destroyers (named Adams and Farragut) that are
installed by default from \Objects\GroundObject in your Mod folder.
(These substitute versions are based on the ThirdWire CGN-36.)
2) Copy the Coontz2.LOD from "Yankee Air Pirate" to the Adams and Farragut
folders in \Optional\GroundObject (in the OTC packages you downloaded).
3) Create collision LODs for both destroyers by making a copy of Coontz2.LOD
and renaming it Coontz2_COL.LOD.
4) Move the Adams and Farragut destroyers from \Optional\GroundObject to
\Objects\GroundObject in your MOD folder.
Again, the campaigns will automatically use the new versions of these ships.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Campaign Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are two main campaigns supplied with this version of OTC:
- Cuba: the standard campaign, allowing you to fly a variety of USAF,
USN, or USMC aircraft in support of the U.S. invasion of Cuba.
- Red Cuba: new "red-side" version of the main campaign, allowing you
to fly various Cuban or Soviet aircraft (mostly MiGs) in defense of
the island of Cuba.
By default an SF2NA-compatible version of the main Cuba campaign is installed. This version uses SF2NA-style carrier battle groups. It also uses a number of aircraft that exploit new mission types available only in SF2NA.
If SF2NA is not part of your install, then you installed a version of the Cuba campaign that uses the older SF2V-style carrier stations. You will see escort ships, but they are static. Moreover, the FRAM2_DG escorts used for the two big carrier stations south of Cuba (which are behind the front line) are gun-less, as they must be in that location (otherwise they would shoot at you). Finally, the non-SF2NA version of the campaign lacks many of the supporting AI-only aircraft, which exploit SF2NA-only mission types.
The "Red Cuba" campaign comes only in one version that uses the older SF2V-style carrier stations. If you are using the SF2NA version of the Cuba terrain, those carriers will appear without escorts (not that you'd have much chance of seeing them any way).
The ground war starts about two weeks into the campaign. This follows CINCLANT OPLAN 316-62, which provided for several weeks of bombing before the ground invasion proper.
Whatever campaign version you play, be aware that you will occasionally see the front line take on an odd appearance -- tangled, doubling back on itself, etc. Rest assured it will sort itself out after a mission or two, though it may inexplicably cause a ground unit to disappear from the map (usually a Cuban unit). This all is happening despite months and months of testing with dozens of different versions of the front line and the campaign strategic nodes.
So far as I can tell, the campaign engine simply has problems dealing with a ground offensive that must spread itself in multiple directions across a long narrow island congested with densely packed (often overlapping) terrain areas.

The Scandinavian Front 2: Final Release
By JonathanRL
PLEASE BE AWARE; This release of TSF 2 is unpolished and is to be considered a Beta version. In short, there will be bugs and not all of them have been found. Unless things change significantly, there will not be more releases.
Please read the letter below to understand why.
If you just want the SK 60 or the Saab 37 Viggen - look in the Aircraft section. If not posted there, they will be posted there shortly.
A letter from the Project Leader:
My name is Jonathan and I am the project leader of The Scandinavian Front. I want to apologize that I will not be living up to the vision I had for The Scandinavian Front. The reason for this is because between my new full time job and all my other projects, TSF 2 fell by the wayside. This is not fair to TSF nor is it fair to you.
This is to be considered a Beta release. It has bugs. The Campaigns have not been fully balanced. But it is a playground that you can play around with - just like always. But this will be the Final Release of TSF 2. I sat down one too many times trying to make it perfect and I will have to accept that TSF 2 may never be. Maybe some day I will sit down and release a patch to bring it up to speed. But today is not that day.
I want to thank all the fans of TSF 2 for their support during this time. It has been invaluble. I also want to thank AngelP, Stary, Ravenclaw and my mate Paulopanz who have been there for me to make this mod what it is today. Without them, I could never have made this dream. Do not blame them for the unpolished state of this release, they gave me their all and I am very grateful.
FEATURES
Fly and fight with Aircraft from the Scandinavian Air Forces, including the legendary Saab lineup of aircraft in combat against the Soviet Union in multiple scenarios from 1950 to 2014.
Campaigns include several intensive conflicts, training missions and a virtual museum allowing you to follow a Swedish Flottilj for most of its history!
Now at last - Saab SK60 and Saab 37 Viggen are avalible to fly in TSF 2 alongside - for the first time - Soviet Aircraft in service of the fictionalFinno-Soviet Republic!
More AI Aircraft to fly with or against!
Updated Terrain Tiles, Weapons and Menu Screens.
Optimized code; unused and outdated assets removed.
Installation:
This mod requires SF2: Europe.
SF2 North Atlantic, Expansion Pack 1 and DLC 008 J 34 Hawker Hunter is highly recommended.
Please be aware that without SF2 North Atlantic, at least two Campaigns will be unavalible.
First of all, make sure you are using SF2: Europe and that it is patched to the latest version. This is _vital_.
Check Thirdwire.com if you are unsure what the latest patch is, but the game should notify you if there is new patches out.
Delete ANY PRIOR TSF MOD INSTALLATION! This is vital as items has been renamed, moved or otherwise changed.
If you are using a mod, or plan to use one, TSF will mess around with settings other mods may be using. As such, creating a seperate mod folder for TSF is a good idea. If you only plan to use TSF, then this step can be bypassed.
Go to your installation folder (Usually C:\Program Files\Thirdwire\Strike Fighters 2). Make a copy of Strike Fighters 2.exe / Strike Fighters 2 Europe.exe depending on what you prefer and got installed. Name the Copy Strike Fighters 2 TSF.exe . Start your new .exe once, then close the game.
Now go to your Mod Folders. For Windows 7/Vista, this is located in C:\Users\Name\Saved Games\Thirdwire. For Windows XP Users, it is usually in My Documents.
Download ALL THE FILES into THE SAME FOLDER and Unzip TSF2_Final from TSF2_FinalPack.7z.001. You need 7z or Winrar to do this.
Unzip the contents of the 7zip files "TSF2_Final" into the mod folder of your choice.

SF2: Modern Warfare Taiwan V1.01 Part 1
By Spectre8750
25 Dec 2010 : Merry Christmas.
Strike Fighters 2: Modern Warfare Taiwan V1.01 by Spectre8750
Campaign For SF2, SF2:E, SF2:V, SF2:I or
SF2,SF2:E,SF2:V and/or SF2:I Merged Install.
This Campaign is a culmination of many to hit on the possability of the
situation in the Far East coming to a head and represent the possible Air
Battle.
The Campaign includes Taiwan, Australia, RAF, Japan, Hungary, USAF, USMC,
USN with Carrier support, and China and the Soviet Union.
Extra Files are required: The E-2C-R3.LOD for the E-2C "HawkEye" from
Skunkworks, all other files for that Aircraft are included and modded. Do
not overwrite the other Files. The E-3A.LOD's for the E-3 "Sentry" can be
found in Operation Desert Storm in the "ODS_part1.exe" file. You only need
the LOD's all others are already included. This Aircraft is not crucial
but fun to Include. Also the F-16A(10) uses the F-16A_Netz.LOD's not
included but will work if You have SF2:Isreal loaded. If not it is not
crucial as it is for the Mercenary Player only and won't affect the Game if
not present. All other files are included and modified and needed as is.
If you modify included files, I can't guarantee results.
Installing the Campaign:
Install as per the Knowledge base for Standalone Mods.
And Delete The Aircraft and Ground Objects before you dump these files in.
Also Included an Icon for the Main Dir to use with the Desktop Shortcut.
A Menu ModuleMWT.cat file is included for Menu Screens and Music.
Open the "StrikeFighters2 War for Taiwan.INI" file you created and make sure
it has the fallowing at the bottom:
[Module]
ModuleDataFile=ModuleMWT.cat
DefaultTerrainData=Taiwan
DefaultAircraft=F-16A(20)
Now go to the new "Mod" "\StrikeFighters2 Modern Warfare Taiwan\Terrains\Taiwan"
Folder and open the TAIWAN.INI file and remove the semicolon in front of the
game you have loaded as follows. Example if you have SF2 Israel.
;CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
;CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat
CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
;CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat
Leave all others with a semicolon.
You should be ready to go.
I want to thank the Following for making
This Mod possible with a special thanks to
Gepard for the original Formosa Strait Terrain
and Stary for the Tile and objects Update:

Carriers in Stock SF2 Campaigns
By malibu43
SF2 Carrier and Campaign Mod Readme
This mod adds a carrier to the stock SF2 campaigns, as well as places USN and some of the USMC squadrons in those campaigns on the carrier. Additionally, if you have a merged install with SF2V, SF2E, and SF2NA, you can add F-8's and A-7's to the stock campaigns and a new 1978 campaign with A-7's, F-15's, HarrierGR3's, F-14's, and A-10's as well.
Requirements:
SF2 and SF2V (for the carriers) are required. SF2E and SF2NA are optional but recommended.
To install:
1. Drag the "campaigns" folder into your mod folder.
2. If you already have modified desert_targets.ini in your SF2/Terrains/Desert folder, skip to the next step. If you do not already have modified desert_targets.ini, extract Desert.ini and Desert_targets.ini from Desert.CAT (in the main game folder) using the SF2 .cat extractor. Create a 'Terrains' folder in your SF2 mod foler and create a 'Desert' folder inside that one. Place the extracted Desert.ini and Desert_targets.ini in that folder.
3. Add the following to the bottom of desert_targets.ini:
[TargetAreaXXX]
Name=Whiskey Station
Position=550000,600000
Radius=5657
ActiveYear=0
Location=3
Alignment=FRIENDLY
CarrierStation=TRUE
Make sure 'XXX' in the [TargetAreaXXX] is the next number following the target area above where you pasted the entry.
4. That's it!

NATO Fighters IV+: Post-Dec2009 Update Pack # 4
By Dave
-----------------------------------------------
NATO Fighters IV+: Post-Dec2009 Update Pack # 4
-----------------------------------------------
This package contains a fourth update pack for the NATO Fighters IV+ (NF4+) add-on designed for "Strike Fighters 2: Europe" (SF2E) from ThirdWire. It does several things:
1) Adds new aircraft and ground objects
2) Makes several aircraft flyable
3) Adds new textures to existing aircraft
4) Updates over 100 weapons and guns
5) Fixes or updates numerous other files in the
original NF4+ mod
6) Updates items for Exp. Pack 2 compatibility
This update pack should be applied to SF2E/NF4+ installations that are patched to the Dec2009 or later patch level -- including Feb2010, Mar2010, May2010, Jun2010, or Dec2010 -- and that already have the first, second, and third NF4+ update packs applied.
Please note the those running SF2E Expansion Pack 2 (Dec2010) will have an additional installation step to add Exp. Pack 2 update files to their installations. There are also several "optional" items included in this package -- see below for more information on what they are and how to use them.
If you are running SF2E at the Jun2009b patch level and do NOT intend to update to one of the later patch levels mentioned above, you should NOT apply this update pack.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
BEFORE YOU INSTALL
Before installing this update pack, please ensure that:
- your SF2E installation is patched to at least the Dec2009 patch level;
- the original NF4+ add-on is installed;
- the first, second, & third update packs (or patches) are applied to
your NF4+ installation.
The four original NF4+ installation packages can be obtained from CombatAce:
http://combatace.com...-1-main-folder/
http://combatace.com...objects-folder/
http://combatace.com...craft-folder-1/
http://combatace.com...craft-folder-2/
The first three update packs can also be had at CombatAce:
http://combatace.com...09-patch-level/
http://combatace.com...-update-pack-2/
http://combatace.com...-update-pack-3/
The latest patches for Strike Fighters 2 can be downloaded from ThirdWire:
http://thirdwire.com/downloads.htm
INSTALLING THE UPDATE
Installation of this update is simple.
1. Copy the contents of the \All_Patch_Levels directory to your SF2E Mod Folder,
overwriting as prompted.
If you are NOT running Exp. Pack 2, then you're finished. If you are running
Exp. Pack 2, then you have one more step.
2. Exp. Pack 2 Only: copy the contents of the \Dec_2010_Patch directory to your
SF2E Mod Folder, overwriting as prompted.
That's it. You're finished. Please look over the next section on "optional" items included here that you may want to install.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Optional Items
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The \_Optional directory included in this package contains files to make three aircraft flyable (one available only in Exp. Pack 2). If you have SF2I you might have already made the other two flyable, in which case you you do not need these files.
Here's what's available (by directory).
Canberra20: Contains files to make the Exp. Pack 2 Canberra B.20 flyable. If you
installed Exp. Pack to an install merged with the original SF2 (w/ the
mercenary canmpaign and Desert terrain) then the Exp. Pack 2 installer
should have dropped the Canberra20 in your \Aircraft folder. Simply
copy these files to your \Objects\Aircraft\Canberra20 folder to make
the aircraft flyable.
Mirage5F: Update 3 included files to make the Mirage 5F flyable, but additional files
from SF2I were required. If you do not have SF2I, you can use the alternate
files in this folder to make the Mirage 5F flyable. Simply copy these files
to your \Objects\Aircraft\Mirage5F folder to make the aircraft flyable.
MystereIVA: Update 3 included files to make the Mystere IVA flyable, but additional files
from SF2I were required. If you do not have SF2I, you can use the alternate
files in this folder to make the Mystere IVA flyable. Simply copy these files
to your \Objects\Aircraft\MystereIVA folder to make the aircraft flyable.

SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion Pack v2.0 - Terrain Update
By eburger68
------------------------------------------
SF2V A&G Expansion Pack: New Terrain Items
for Older Expansion Pack Installations
------------------------------------------
This package contains an updated set of terrain files for users of the SF2V Expansion Pack who installed the original Expansion Pack distribution from November 2009 and all the subsequent updates through the "Feb. 2010 Refresh." It was created to bring older Expansion Pack installations current with the "updated" Expansion Pack files that were released early March 2010 without forcing users to download the complete set of "updated" installation files.
- If you downloaded and installed the Nov. 2009 version of the Expansion Pack and installed the "Terrain Tiles Update" as well as the "Feb. 2010 Refresh," then this update package is for you.
- If you downloaded and installed the Nov. 2009 version of the Expansion Pack but did NOT install both the "Terrain Tiles Update" and "Feb. 2010 Refresh," then you can upgrade to the most current version of the Expansion Pack *only* by downloading the complete, updated set of installation files. You can find the four part set of updated Expansion Pack installation files here:
Part 1:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=10189
Part 2:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=10190
Part 3:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=10192
Part 4:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=10193
- If you downloaded and installed the SF2V Expansion Pack on or after 3 March 2010, then this update package is NOT for you -- the "updated" Expansion Pack files from March 2010 already contain all the files from this update.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
To install this update, simply copy the contents of the \To_Mod_Folder directory to your SF2V Mod Folder. In other words, drag and drop the \Terrains folder to your SF2V Mod Folder, overwriting as prompted.
That's it. You should be good to go.

48-56: Exp. 1 Add-on (Redux) - Part 1 of 2
By eburger68
48-56: Add-on to SF2I Expansion Pack 1
with 1948 War for Independence & 1956 Suez Crisis
This package contains an overhauled version of the "48-56" mod for "Strike Fighters 2: Israel" (SF2I) with "Expansion Pack 1" (Exp1) that was originally released in June 2010. This overhauled version includes completely revamped versions of the three original campaigns, a new "navalized" version of the Suez campaign for those with "Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic" (SF2NA), a good number of new aircraft and ground objects, as well as plenty of bug fixes and updates.
To use this mod, you must have SF2I Expansion Pack 1 installed, ideally with a merged install of "Strike Fighters 2: Europe" (SF2E) and "Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam" (SF2V). Your install should be at the Mar2012 or later patch level. "Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic" (SF2NA) is supported, but not required. If your target installation does not include SF2E and SF2V, your campaigns will use alternate versions of some aircraft (see below for more information).
Note that this is a COMPLETE mod package. There is no need to install any previous version of "48-56." Nor should you attempt to install it over the top of any previous version, as you could end up with a non-working install.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Minimum Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To install and play this mod, you must have the following installed as part of your target installation base:
REQUIRED: Strike Fighters 2 Israel (SF2I), plus
Expansion Pack 1 (SF2I Exp1)
RECOMMENDED: Strike Fighters 2 Europe (SF2E), plus
Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam (SF2V)
PATCH LEVEL: Mar2012 or higher
This mod does support installations that include "Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic" (SF2NA), however, SF2NA is not required.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before installing, please ensure that Expansion Pack 1 is applied to your SF2I installation along with the latest patches from 3rdWire.
-----------------------------------
* STEP 1: PREPARE THE MOD FOLDER *
-----------------------------------
This mod requires a separate Mod Folder. Please do not attempt to install this mod over or combine it with any other mods package such as "NATO Fighters," "Operation Desert Storm," or the SF2V Expansion Pack.
- Open your SF2 Installation directory and make a copy of StrikeFighters2 Israel.exe or StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic.exe (if your target install base includes SF2NA). Rename the copied .EXE file to StrikeFighters2_48-56.exe (or whatever unique name you prefer).
- Run the newly copied and renamed .EXE file, then exit back out to the Windows desktop after navigating through a few menus. A custom Mod Folder for your "48-56" install will have been created in one of these locations:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder]
Windows Vista: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder]
Windows 7: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder]
...where [YourModFolder] matches the name of the copied .EXE file that you created. You will install the "48-56" mod files to your Mod Folder.
- Open your Mod Folder and delete the \Objects sub-directory (including everything in it).
Now you're ready to install the "48-56" mod proper.
-------------------------------------------------
* STEP 2: INSTALL MAIN COMPONENTS TO MOD FOLDER *
-------------------------------------------------
This is the easiest step.
- Unpack the two "48-56" archive packages that you downloaded to a temporary location on your hard drive.
- Move the contents of the \1_To_Mod_Folder directory to your Mod Folder (created in Step 1 above). (Note: do not simply drag and drop the folder named "To_Mod_Folder" or you will end up with a non-working install.)
If you've moved everything correctly, you should have a new \Objects sub-directory in your Mod Folder, along with a few new other sub-directories.
----------------------------
* STEP 3: EDIT OPTIONS.INI *
----------------------------
This last step involves a bit of text editing, so please pay attention.
Open the Options.INI file in your Mod Folder. Locate the "Single Mission" section. I recommend setting the StartYear= and EndYear= as follows:
StartYear=1945
EndYear=2020
Finally, a little further down you should find the "Campaign" section. Replace it with the following:
[Campaign]
CampaignName=Suez Crisis - 1956
PlayerService=Israel
PlayerUnit=No. 101 First Fighter Squadron
AircraftType=MystereIVA
Difficulty=HARD
Length=NORMAL
AircraftSupply=NORMAL
WeaponSupply=LIMITED
LoadCampaign=TRUE
CampaignSavename=DefaultCampaignSave
Save your changes and close the Options.INI file.
* * * * *
If your installation abse does not include SF2NA, then your install of "48-56" for SF2I should now be ready to use. Please read the section below on "Optional Installs" for more information on how to install the optional aircraft included with this mod.
If your installation base does include SF2NA, then please proceed to the next step.
--------------------------------------
* STEP 4: Extra Step for SF2NA Users *
--------------------------------------
This last step is for those whose install base include "Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic" (SF2NA). Included with this mod are a number of custom files that allow SF2NA users to enjoy some of the new functionality included with SF2NA, including:
- Carrier battle groups in campaigns
- Carrier take-off for naval aircraft in Single Missions
- New mission types in campaigns
TO INSTALL: drag and drop the contents of the \2_For_SF2NA folder into your Mod Folder, allowing Windows to merge and overwrite any folders and files it prompts to.
* * * * *
THAT'S IT. Your "48-56" mod for SF2I mod should now be ready to use. You may consider installing some of the "optional" items as described in the next section.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What's Included
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This mod will add the following to your SF2I w/ Exp. Pack 1 installation:
- An additional campaign called "Suez Crisis" that is an expanded version
of the default Suez campaign included in the Expansion Pack.
If you wish to fly for the Arab side during the '56 conflict, another
alternate version, named "Tripartite Aggression - 1956," is included.
- A new "War For Independence 1948" campaign. This campaign represents the
2nd to 3rd phase of the Israel's War for Independence.
If you wish to fly for the Arab side during the '48 conflict, another
alternate version, named "War For Palestine - 1948," is included.
- Real life pilots, included in the 1948 campaign for you to use as your
wingmen.
- New aircraft, ground objects, and weapons to fill out the countries and
units missing from Exp. Pack 1. Air bases on Cyprus have also been added
for use during the '56 conflict.
This mod has been updated several times since it's original release in June 2010. See the accompanying change log for details on what's been fixed, updated, and added.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Known Issues
~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you are not flying as a carrier-based unit in the standard "non-navalized" version of '56 Suez campaign, the carriers themselves will fail to show for AI aircraft, and they will flounder in the water. To fix this, use the dreaded Alt_N once you are airborne, and the units on the carriers magically seem to be fine.
The campaigns are not 100% historically accurate. The '56 Suez campaign does not attempt to cover the ground campaign launched by the British and French on 5 November, 1956 with paratroop insertions and amphibious landings. The front line for the campaign would have become too complex and problematic for the game engine to handle. Also, the Egyptian air force in the 1956 campaigns puts up much more of a fight than it did historically (Nasser was more concerned with preserving his air force rather than expending it in a fight with two declining colonial powers).
By turns the 1948 campaigns inflate the sizes of the air forces involved for the sake of game play. In reality both the Israeli and Egyptian air forces were quite small and utterly dependent on unreliable second (and even third) hand equipment serviced with scavenged pare parts and inexperienced ground crews. The clashes between the two air forces were comparatively minor and insignificant, with the ground war playing the overwhelming role in determining the outcome of the conflict. (Of note: many discussions of the early days of the Israeli Air Force devote more space to discussing the several clashes between the IAF and British RAF units still in Palestine, Egypt, and Jordan.)
Moreover, the ground forces themselves were primarily comprised of infanty units, many of which were arguably of "irregular" or "reserve" status, and the battles waged between the various factions involved rendered the front line(s) rather fluid. By contrast, the '48 campaigns in this mod are centered around set piece desert battles between tanks and APCs. Although the Israeli and Arab armies did have some tanks and APCs, they were quite scarce -- nothing like the well-equipped units you see in these campaigns.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SF2NA Support
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If your install base includes SF2NA, you should have performed the fourth installation step, as detailed above. SF2NA features are supported in "48-56" primarily through a "navalized" version of the standard IsraelME terrain named "Israel, Mediterranean" (IsraelMED).
- If you wish to fly Single Missions in carrier-based aircraft off aircraft carriers (British or French), be sure to select the "Israel, Mediterranean" terrain in the Single Missions screen.
- The navalized version of the '56 Suez campaign is named "Suez Crisis - 1956 (N)." This campaign allows you to fly Fleet Air Arm or Aeronavale aircraft off one of five different aircraft aircraft carriers, each with an accompanying group of escorts and support ships. (RAF and AdA aircraft still fly from Cyprus or Israel, depending on the unit.)
There are no "navalized" versions of the other campaigns included in this mod.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Substitute SF2E/SF2V Aircraft
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This mod uses three ThirdWire aircraft that are not included in SF2I or Expansion Pack 1. As we recognize that not all users will have SF2E and SF2V (which contain the models for these other aircraft), we have set up the campaigns to use equivalent substitutes, which are installed by default, if the "standard" ThirdWire aircraft are not present. The following table summarizes these aircraft.
----------- ------------- -------- -----
Standard AC AlternateType Requires Notes
----------- ------------- -------- -----
Hunter5 HunterF5 SF2E Hunter9 converted to Hunter5
F-84F F-84F_MF SF2E Mirage Factory F-84F
SkyraiderMk1 Skyraider1 SF2V MontyCZ's A-1 Skyraider
If SF2E or SF2V are not part of your base SF2 installation, you should remove the associated "standard aircraft" listed above from your "46-56" install so that the game does not attempt to use them. Thus, if SF2E is not part of your base install, remove the Hunter5 and F-84F. If Sf2V is not part of your base install, remove the Skyraider Mk1. As noted, the "alternate" substitutes will be automatically used.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Optional Installs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The "48-56" mod includes support for a number of aircraft that are available only from the A-Team's web site at:
http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/Skunworks.html
These aircraft can be found in the \3_OptionalAircraft folder. Unfortunately, we are not allowed to include the models (LOD files) for these aircraft in this mod package. That means you MUST download the original aircraft from the above site (which requires you to apply for access) and install the LODs separately in order to use these aircraft.
To add any one of the optional aircraft to your "48-56" mod, you will need to do the following:
1. Download the appropriate package (see table below) containing the necessary LODs from the A-Team's site (link included above).
2. Unzip the package to a temporary directory.
3. Copy the .LOD files from the package you downloaded to the appropriate aircraft folder in the \3_OptionalAircraft directory.
4. Once you've added the LOD files to the aircraft's folder, you may install the aircraft and accompanying decals from the \3_OptionalAircraft directory to your "48-56" Mod Folder.
The table below is designed to point you to the correct package to download for each aircraft at the A-Team's site. Note that in some cases the A-Team's site may include multiple versions of the same aicraft -- usually an older version and an updated version. In most cases you want the older version, as that's the version supported (and the version tested with). Again, see the "Section" and "Notes" columns for guidance. When in doubt, check the LOD file names in the aircraft's main .INI file to ensure that you have obtained the right version with the correct LOD files.
--------------- ------------- ------- -----
A-Team Optional AlternateType Section Notes
--------------- ------------- ------- -----
B-17G_IDF SStirling_IDF WWII section
BeauTFX_IDF Mosquito_FBVI WWII section
Lancaster Halifax WWII section
Macchi205_EAF HurricaneIIb WWII section
Meteor_F4 Meteor4_Arab Beta section
Meteor_NF14 Meteor8 Beta section - original version (not Veltro2K's in 3rd Party)
Meteor_NF14_Arab Meteor8_Arab Beta section - original version (not Veltro2K's in 3rd Party)
SeaVenom SeaVixen or SeaHawkFGA_6 Beta section - older LOD (updated LOD should work)
Spitfire5B_EAF Spitfire9c WWII section - older original release (not updated Release 2)
Spitfire22_EAF Spitfire9c WWII section
TBM-3E F6F-5_FN & SeaFury WWII section - older TBF/TBM release (not updated versions/models)
ValiantB1 CanberraB6 Modern section - older LOD (not newer LOD)
Wessex n/a Helicopters - also available in Falklands '82 mod at CombatAce
We recognize that not everyone has access to A-Team downloads, so the campaigns have been configured to use alternate, substitute aircraft if the A-Team "optional" aircraft are not present in your Mod folder. Those alternate/substitute aircraft, which are installed by default, are listed in the AlternateType column above.
A few notes about some of these optional aircraft and their alternates/substitutes:
- The MeteorNF14 and the MeteorNF14_Arab use the same LODs. Thus, you need only download ONE package from the A-Team's site for those aircraft.
- The Spitfire5B_EAF uses the LODs for the Spitfire Mk VB Trop, not the standard VB (also available in the same section).
- The SeaVenom files included in this package were tested with the original LOD released for that aircraft. There is an updated LOD currently on the A-Team's site that should work, but I can't absolutely guarantee that it will work. If you use the updated LOD, youmay need to edit the SeaVenom.INI file to point to the correct LOD file.
- The Sea Vixen used as an alternate/substitute for the Sea Venom is a semi-fictional, guns-only version of that aircraft -- a "what-if" Sea Vixen that might have gone into production several years earlier than the gunless version that eventually made it to the fleet.
- If you dont have access to the Sea Venom and would prefer not to use the Sea Vixen, you can edit the campaign to use the SeaHawk FGA.6. All the necessary lines are included, so the switch merely involves changing these two lines...
AlternateType=SeaVixen
//AlternateType=SeaHawkFGA_6
...to the following:
//AlternateType=SeaVixen
AlternateType=SeaHawkFGA_6
There are three squadrons affected: 809Sq, 892Sq, and 893Sq. You should make these changes in both campaign .INI files.
- If you have the newer LOD for Valiant B.1, you can swap decal files in the RAFSilver1 folder so that the decals show up properly on the aircraft. If you use the updated LOD, youmay need to edit the ValiantB1.INI file to point to the correct LOD file.
- The LODs for the Wessex are available in the Falklands '82 mod package at CombatAce.com:
http://combatace.com/files/file/13296-sf2-falklands-mod-redux/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Optional DLC Installs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The "48-56" mod includes support for two ThirdWire aircraft that were released in DLCs:
- S-199_IDF (DLC 28)
- Spitfire22_EAF (DLC 29)
If these DLC aircraft are part of your base install, you may add these aircraft to your "48-56" install by copying the aircraft folders from \4_DLC Aircraft to the \Objects\Aircraft folder of your "48-56" mod folder. The campaigns will automatically use these aircraft, if present.
If you elect to install the DLC S-199_IDF you should remove the S-199_IDF that is installed by default. The DLC version replaces the version from the default install.
Please note that you cannot install both the DLC-based Spitfire22_EAF and the optional A-Team Spitfire22_EAF discussed in the previous section. Only one version can be installed at a time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Terrain Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The IsraelME and IsraelMED terrains included in this mod package use a number of new airbases, which are summarized below. These new airbases fall into two groups:
1. New airbases on Cyprus & Malta for the 1956 campaigns
2. New airbases for the 1948 campaigns
The new 1948 airbases replace a handful of default airbases in Israel, which are now configured to start at a later date (usually 1952). The table below summarizes ALL of the friendly airbases now present at one time or another in the IsraelME(D) terrain:
------------------------ ------------------------
1948 Airfield Default Airfield

The 1948 War for Independence and the 1956 Suez Crisis are two conflicts that are not as well known or understood as the 1967 and 1973 wars that followed between Israel and its Arab neighbors. The Suez Crisis in particular seems to have almost completely disappeared from popular memory -- even more so than the Korean War. Historically obscure, largely forgotten (at least in the West), but still hugely important in shaping the history the modern Middle East and the relations between the world's major powers (Great Britain, France, the United States, Soviet Union/Russia).

Suez Crisis

My favorite comment from a British reservist who, in an article on the "Britain's Small Wars" web site, recounts being called up for duty during the Suez crisis:
"The entire Suez incident was a complete fiasco as far as we could tell. At the time one fell into the trap of thinking 'those in charge must know what they are doing', but hindsight and history tells that the powers that be really were utterly, completely incompetent, and that our private impressions on the ground of utter chaos and incompetence on a huge scale, were absolutely justified ... I have had no faith in the public image of leadership, or in the mostly ludicrous coverage of anything by the media, ever since."

Strike Fighters 2: War For Israel V2.1 Part 1
By Spectre8750
19 Jan 2011
Strike Fighters 2: War For Israel V2.1 Part 1 of 2
Campaign For SF2:Israel. or
SF2,SF2:E,SF2:V with SF2:Israel Merged Install.
This is a Campaign i created to hit on the Possibility of the situation
in the Middle East coming to a head and represent the possible Air Battle.
The Campaign includes IDF, USAF, USMC, USN with Carrier support.
Also Egypt, Libya, Syria and 2 Mercenary Aircraft for Campaign play.
Installing the Campaign:
Campaign files with menu pics and Music files are included.
Also Included 3 Icon Files for the Main Dir to use with the Desktop Shortcut.
Extra Files are required: The E-3A.LOD's for the E-3 "Sentry" can be
found in Operation Desert Storm in the "ODS_part1.exe" file. You only need
the LOD's all others are already included. This Aircraft is not crucial but
fun to Include.
Make a copy of your "StrikeFighters2 Israel.exe" in the program folder
and rename it to "StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael.exe". Also make a copy of the
INI and rename it "StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael.ini" in the main dir.
Open the "StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael.ini" file and change it to read at
the bottom:
[Module]
ModuleDataFile=ModuleWFI.cat
DefaultTerrainData=IsraelME
DefaultAircraft=F-15A_Baz
This will allow the use of the Menu file ModuleWFI.cat that goes in your
program folder "Menu" dir.
Now Run the New "StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael.exe" and go the the
"Saved Game folder" "StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael" and delete the "Aircraft"
and "GroundObject" folders. New ones will be created. I've included all the
Aircraft and Ground Objects including the Default SF2 Israel files so you
do not have to sift through them. You can add Aircraft later if you want.
Now Run the Menu Installer and point it to the program folders root
"Strike Fighters 2" Folder. Then Run the Mod Installer and point it to the
Saved Game folder root "StrikeFighters2 WarForIsrael".
Overwrite if it asks.
You should be ready to go.
Before anyone complains about stock planes in this mod the A-4N is From
the A-4AR Fightinghawk by RavenXXXX. And the Mig-27 is a modded version
using the stock usable Mig-27 skins, and is by lindr2.
Both can be downloaded at CombatAce.
I want to thank the Community for all their effort.
