SF2 F-111E Aardvarks USAF/E RAF Upper Heyford 20th TFW. The 55th, 77th and 79th TFS!
By Viper with INIs by Fanatic Modder

-------------------------------------------------------------

This mod was intended as an update to FastCargo's Super Vark Package (See link below), but it can be a standalone mod if you just want the USAF F-111s included in this pack. If you want to install both packs, FastCargo's pack must be installed first as that is the older pack.

You can get FastCargo's pack here...

* F-111E Aardvarks from USAF/E RAF Upper Heyford 20th TFW. The 55th, 77th and 79th TFS!

-------------------------------------------------------------

Installation:
-------------------------------------------------------------

I recommend that you back up your mod folder (or just the Effects, \Objects\Aircraft\F-111E, and \Objects\Decals\F-111E folders). I just make a copy the mod folder, try the mod, if I like it, I delete the backup. If I don't, I delete the new/updated mod folder and rename the old backup/copy back to the original names to reset to my original setup.

* To install, simply unzip and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder (the uncompressed "Effects and Objects" folders only) to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite.

My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...

C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Europe\

Note: You should be able to install this mod into any SF2 series, it doesn't have to be StrikeFighter2 Europe.

* To remove, simply delete the active "Effects and Objects" folders and replace with the back up copies you made prior to the install.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Add F111 SoundList
-------------------------------------------------------------

Lastly, Read the "Add F111 SoundList.txt" readme file on updating your your "Flight\SoundList.ini" file with the custiom F-111 sound files included in this pack.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Thats it - Enjoy!

----------------------------
* Version 5 - 06/26/2015
1) New improved F-111 skins! I took the best parts of Slick Cowboy, Lel, Dave's F-111 skins and recomposited them. Then I rebuilt/upgraded the resulting skin from the pitot tube to the exhaust nozzles! I detailed, corrected and tweaked the skins to be the best it can be on CombatACE! These skins were only possible because of the excellent modders who came before me. For that, Thank you Cowboy, Lel, FastCargo and Dave!!!
2) New improved "Wing", "Squadron" and "Tail Numbers"! I created new hi-rez color decals of the "Stars and Stripes", "Wing" and "Squadron" emblems. The new high rez decals looks much better and gives the planes a more colorful "Glory Days" vibe. The original black stencil decals are still included, but I renamed them and use them for the Desert Storm Aardvark skins (also in this mod).
3) New improved pilots! I replaced the default pilots with Florian's excellent LOD and reskinned the pilots. They look awesome, I've not seen one better! There a load of custom helmets for the pilots, to choose a different helmet, go to the pilot folder in Objects > Pilots > * folder and pick the one you like better and rename it to Pilotgear1.bmp.
4) Fanatic Modder researched the F-111s and contributed the INI files for the pack. FM research the heck out of the F-111 and the INIs are awesome!
5) New Hangar and Loading Screens...

Also forgot to mention. In Version 3, I converted the nose cone to a darker gray (black) as released in Cowboy's update to his enhanced skins...

I didn't change the version numbers, but in the 06/30 upload, I upgraded the Desert Storm Aardvarks. I did some more tweaking on the other F-111s - cleaned up the skins and details. I also modified the pilot helmet and mask for the F-111Fs to look more modern. F-111s are one of the few SF2 ACs where you can see the co-pilots up close, so it had to look good. I am very happy with it. I hope you like it too. I've been using this pilot model for the other planes too...so I may release it as a mod of it's own. All credit to Florian - "AmokFloo" - I am using his/her LOD...I've seen other pilots and they look good, but none as good as Florian - "AmokFloo"s LOD. If you know of any other...Let me know...

 

Enjoy!
