      EF2000 Typhoon Add-on
      February 13th, 2025 (1st Release)
      by GKABS, Bongodriver, ace888, compufat and Menrva


      >For Strike Fighters 2 games
      This is a complete add-on of the EF2000 Typhoon aircraft, featuring all of its Real World operators. The original model by Bongodriver has been overhauled by GKABS with additional details, including a proper PIRATE System built into the aircraft's 3d model.
      The package currently includes the following operators and relative skins produced by ace888, GKABS and compufat, with tweaks by yours truly where needed for quality consistency:
      -Royal Air Force, 15 skins
      -German Air Force, 14 skins
      -Italian Air Force, 9 skins
      -Spanish Air Force, 5 skins
      -Austrian Air Force, 2 skins
      -Royal Saudi Air Force, 2 skins
      -Kuwait Air Force, 2 skins
      -Qatar Emiri Air Force, 1 skin
      -Royal Air Force of Oman, 1 skin

      I further polished the package by adding historically accurate weapon loadouts for all operators throughout the years, my own selection of sounds, new cockpit and HUD textures and other smaller tweaks here and there. The incredibly detailed weapons included in the package are the courtesy of ravenclaw_07.

      January 13th, 2019 (1st Release)
      by Menrva


      >For Strike Fighters 2 games
      This is my sky enhancement mod. It also combines the work of many other modders, in order to provide a realistic, better looking sky. Here below a quick summary of the changes:
      -Tweaked sky colours, something in between Cellinsky's widesky and the stock SF2 colours.
      -More realistic Night colours, sky and ambient are much darker.
      -More atmospheric, reddish transition from Twilight to Night.
      -New "dark blue" High Altitude colours (fly near space with a NF-104).
      -Moon produces a yellowish light instead of the default purple.
      -Sky is "wider" much like Cellinsky's widesky mod (background horizon clouds are bigger and more noticeable).
      -Added beautiful cloud graphics made by Cellinsky and ShrikeHawk, tweaked for each weather type.
      -Added a low number of stray clouds to Clear weather.
      -Added noticeable clouds to Overcast weather and Inclement weather, "fixing" a known SF2 "bug".
      -Combined various mods to produce a more interesting Rain Effect under Inclement weather.
      -Added Stary's lens flare effects from the SARCASM 2 mod, in place of Cellinsky's widesky effects.
      -Added Cloud Layer graphics by Stary, Fubar512 and Brain32.
      -Reworked secondary atmospheric effects, such as contrails and wingtip vortexes.

      In addition, the package includes alternative environment configuration files in the Alternative Weather folder; they enable different effects for the Inclement weather. You can choose between thunderstorm (default, adapt for most terrains), snowstorm (for cold, icy terrains) and sandstorm (for hot, desert terrains).
      For those who wish not to change the effect globally, I highly suggest to try the included terrain-specific environment example provided for stock SF2 terrains; the default global effect is thunderstorm, while terrains with their own environment file either use sandstorm or snowstorm as appropriate. Use this as a basis to customize other terrains.
