I made these upgraded alternate "Korean Air War" themed Menu screens to go with Do335's "SF2 Wings Over Korea" package!. Thanks Do335, for putting together the long awaited, easy to install package!
Pleae unzip the compressed file and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are some alternate screens I have in there that you might like better.
If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up your FLIGHT and MENU folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT and MENU folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder.

By Viper 04/26/2020
Note: I removed all the nation sounds from this Menu packs for size reasons. If you intend to install the "VIPER63A HQ Menu Sounds" pack, please install that pack first. Installing the HQ Sound pack over the Menu pack may overwrite some of the menu specific music files. You can always re-install this menu pack to get the menu specific theme music back.

SF2 "Aces over Vietnam" Hi-Res Silver Border 1024x768 Menu Screens and Music!
By Viper
Special thanks to Homefies, Spectre8750, Stary and eburger68 for their contributions to Combatace!
This mod includes custom "vietnam Era" themed menu screens, pilots and (w/ 60s) music. This package also contains optional/alternate/upgraded Campaigns screens for both stock and expansions. There are many alternate screens in the Menu folder, so take a look and if you like some thing better, rename them to default names and use them instead.
If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up your CAMPAIGNS, FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
Also note: If you are able - meaning, if you don't already have something in the Menu folder that you want to keep or is needed by some other mod you installed. It would be better to "Rename" your original Menu folder and let this package installs cleanly. Only if you can...
*** To install...
Note: My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Vietnam\
1) Backup/Copy your CAMPAIGNS, FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in your StrikeFighter2 Vietnam mod folder.
2) Uncompress the new Menu package and browse the content. As usual, there are alot of alternate screens in the Menu folder you may like better.
3) Copy the FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in your StrikeFighter2 Vietnam mod folder.
*** Optional Campaigns screens...
1) The "Campaigns" folder contain new images for the Stock Vietnam Campaigns. This is optional, but I think they look better than the stock pix. Copy the Campaigns folder into your StrikeFighter2 Vietnam mod folder.
2) The "!Optional" folder contain new images for the Vietnam Expand Air and Ground War. Read the "Read-Me" in that folder for more detail. Copy the Campaigns folder from the !Optional folder into your StrikeFighter2 Vietnam mod folder.
That's it...
*** To Uninstall...
1) Delete the CAMPAIGNS, FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders and restore the ones you backed up.
That's it!
Enjoy!

Description:
This Fleet Defender Gold theme is a set of menus and music for Strike Fighters 2 in widescreen format: 1600x900. While the basic Fleet Defender theme has been done before for the SF series, Fleet Defender Gold hasn't been represented...until now. The CD-based FD Gold had a MIDI rock theme and early 3D video introduction to the Windows 3.x/95 installation, albeit it ALWAYS skipped. Using Audacity, I was able to fix that issue following track capture. FD Gold's theme seems to have fallen by the wayside compared to the basic DOS music, and it is unfortunate, since it has a great MIDI track. Well, it's back! Fleet Defender Gold still ran the main game in DOS: it was really just a combination of the original FD and its scenario disk, but was Windows compatible for installation and featured a few extras as well: a training section, videos from Aviation Week's "Flight Deck," previews for MicroProse's upcoming games, and most interestingly, the recording of the MiG-23 shoot-downs from the Second Gulf of Sidra incident.
The Package:
The main screen attempts to recreate "Bio" Baranek's famous picture of a VF-2 F-14A in a 30-degree nose up climb, which was used as the cover photo on the game box (albeit with a 1970's era Bullet) and utilizes the Windows FD Gold intro theme. The Single Mission, Loadout, Options, Pilot Record and Roster screens use the actual FD game background music. Campaign start screen uses the FD DOS Intro music. Mission Successful/Failed/Player Killed utilize the FD Mission Successful/Failed music, and the Credits and Medals screens use the FD Mission Successful music (akin to the Top Ten and Credits of the original game). A set of 1600x900 menus have also been made.
-------------
Installation:
NOTE: The theme was tested on an All-5 Merged install, patched to July 2013.
=============
CAUTION: If you didn't see in the description, these menus are in 1600x900 widescreen format! If you're using a different screen ratio, they probably won't work right. I will get around to doing a standard format in the future.
=============
In order to install:
1.) Copy the contents of this archive to a temporary folder.
2.) Create a new folder in your main Mod Folder (e.g. C:\Users\Name\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe) called "Menu" (if it doesn't already exist).
3.) Copy the contents of your temp folder into the Menu Folder.
4.) Launch the game!
OF NOTE:
If you can't support the 1600x900 format, or if you want to keep the default or other menu screens, you can still use the Fleet Defender music by only installing the .wav files and menu .ini's. To do so, only copy the .wav and .ini files to your Mod Menu folder.

StrikeFighter2 Soviet Air Force WWII (ETO) Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens and Music!
By Viper
This mod includes custom "Soviet Air Force WWII" themed menu screens and pilots for the ETO package I hope someone will make in the future (if not already made that I don't know about). You should unzip the file and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better.
If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up (make a copy of) your FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder.
To remove, simply delete the FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders and rename the copies you made to FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders.
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit would be something like...
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\<Name of your ETO mod folder>\

StrikeFighter2 World War II PTO Hi-Res Alternate 1024x768 Menu Screens and Music!
By Viper
I recently downloaded the "All inclusive SF2 Pacific Theater of Operations" (PTO) package from the A-Team site. Excellent package, but the menus were not to my liking...soooo...I upgraded them. These menu screens are tailored for that package, but it should work for any SF2 game with a Pacific WWII theme!
Note: These are new Menu Screens for the A-Team PTO Package - NOT THE A-TEAM PTO PACKAGE. If you want the SF2 Pacific Theater of Operations package, you will have to download it from the A-Team site. A little tricky getting registered, but I recommend it!
You should unzip the file and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better.
If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up (make a copy of) your FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.

By Viper 2015/08/06
These are upgraded/Alternate Hangar, Loading, and Loadout Screens for EricJ's Super Hornet Package for SF2 v3.8 3.7 package and new <Aircraft>.ini files to read them. It was released by EricJ and can be downloaded here. If EricJ saw fit to add this to his, I would be grateful.
Super Hornet Package for SF2 v3.8 3.7
http://combatace.com/files/file/9401-super-hornet-package-for-sf2-v38/
These replaces/adds to EricJ's package (STOCK ONLY) released on 11 Jan 2015. This (my) package DOES NOT include any LODs or other files from EricJ. It does include a new <AirCraft>.ini files so the right screens are read for display.
First!!! Always backup F/A-18s in your "...\Objects\Aircraft" folder. To install, copy the new "Airctaft" folder into your mod "Objects" folder. Overwrite and you're done.
Enjoy!
