SF2 F-22A USAF Raptors Redux 2016
by Viper63a
-------------------------------------------------------------
The default install of this mod pack requires SF2NA merged in your install. If you don't have SF2NA in your install base, you have to install the files in the "Non_SF2NA_Patch" folder for the avionics to function properly. See installation section for more details.
-------------------------------------------------------------
This is my iteration/update of the F-22A Raptors originally released by the "Raptor Team". The lion's share of the work was done by the "Raptor Team" - so I DO NOT take credit for ANY of their wonderful work. What I did was upgrade the original package with various other packages released over the years (All noted in the credits). Other than that, I've recreated and tweaked the skins to my liking, added some new squadrons, and created all new decals for the planes. Comes complete with new Hangar, Loading and Loadout files as well. The original package can be downloaded with the following and/or the links in the Credits sections...
-------------------------------------------------------------
What's included in this mod pack?
-------------------------------------------------------------
Included in this package are the 7th, 14th, 22nd, 27th, 36th, 43rd, 80th, 90th, 94th, 95th, 199th, 411th, 422nd, 433rd, 493rd, and 525th USAF F-22 Squadrons. All squadrons have the complete compliment of tail numbers. Some F-22s were re-deployed from Virginia and Hawaii to Europe (Germany/England) and Asia (Korea) as a deterrence (preparation) force for the current tension in the regions.
Additional Skins for this pack is available here...

-------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
-------------------------------------------------------------
! As always, I recommend that you back up your mod folder before you install any new mod...just in case.
* To install, simply copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite as required.
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2...
* If you have a merged SF2NA installed, then you are done...If not, you have one more step...
Open the "\Optional\Non_SF2NA_Patch" folder and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite as required.
* Lastly, please read the "F-22A SoundList Add.txt" to install the sound files.
Now you are done...
Enjoy!
-------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: The NON-JHMCS Pilot is the default in this pack. If you want to use the JHMCS Pilot, please update the [Pilot] section of the "F-22A_DATA.ini" file. Remove the "//" from the "PilotModelName=F22A_JHMCS" line and add "//" to the "PilotModelName=F22A_Pilot" line. And Save...

Special Thanks to Ravenclaw_007 for the new pilots!
