What Is It?
This is a mod for Strike Fighters 2 and Operation Darius that adds the
Canadian 401 Tactical Fighter Group to the squadron choices when flying
the Operation Darius campaign. The original Operation Darius was limited
to the CF18 as the Canadian Forces multi-role fighter.
This mod adds the recently acquired F-35 Lightning II to Single Missions and
the Operation Darius Campaign for Canadian Forces. Canada, having recently
procured a number of F-35 jets for their fleet are replacing the aging CF18s
with the stealth and tactically aware F-35A Lightning II.
If you're a fan of this sim and the Lockheed-Martin jet, then this is your
chance to try it if you'd prefer to play as the Canadians.
What's Included?
I've included textures with proper Canadian markings, including the official
401 Tactical Fighter Group's own patch on the tail fins. These are simply
modded textures of one of the other squadrons texture packs, which were
crafted by the Operation Darius team.
I simply used their work and composited the 401 Patch and the appropriate
Canadian insignias on the wings, tail and fuselage. I've included the
original Photoshop layered files in case you want to alter the positioning
of the "Canadian" elements on the textures.
Installation:
Simply copy the two folders: Campaigns and Objects to your Operation Darius
mod directory which is located at:
WinXP or earlier:
.\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\[OpDarius]
Vista/Win7/Win8/Win8.1/Win10/Win11
.\Users\<username>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\[OpDarius]
where [OpDarius] is the name of the folder where you chose to install Operation Darius.
When you do, it should asked if you want to a bunch of files replaces, just replace all and have done with it and once they're done copying, you should be ready to go.
Thank you to the Combat Ace website, Thirdwire and to the Operation Darius team for making such a great
addon for an already awesome jet simulator/trainer. Thank you to the Government of Canada for
making the decision to upgrade our aging fleet of DEW line tasked multi-role fighters with the
now mature F-35A, and of course Lockheed-Martin for such an awesome aircraft.
Special thanks to the Canadian 401 Tactical Fighter Group.

Frequently Asked Questions: The DCS: F-4 Phantom
by Heatblur Simulations
Q: When will the DCS: F-4 Phantom by Heatblur Simulations release?
A: DCS: F-4E has been in development for some time and will be released later in 2022. Stay tuned for our full unveiling closer to launch day!
Q: What variants will the Heatblur F-4 Phantom include?
A: The first release will be DCS: F-4E, the iconic land based variant of the Phantom. We will be launching two variants of the -E; a “classic era” F-4E (blocks 36-45 with updates retrofitted in 1974 and before, including new slats, DSCG and AGM-65) as well as an upgraded (DMAS) version of the aircraft in one package.
Q: Will there be a Navy F-4?
A: Yes! Our Phantom journey only begins with the -E. However, owing to the complexity of the work and investment of time and effort, it will not be included in the DCS: F-4E product. We’re instead choosing to focus on providing the most content rich F-4E we possibly can, and then set our sights on further telling the legendary story of the F-4.
Q: Will the Heatblur F-4 Phantom released as Early Access?
A: The F-4E will be released as Early Access first. Much like the F-14 Tomcat, we plan on releasing it as feature complete as we can, including Singleplayer and Multicrew capability, a WSO-AI, an elaborate Flight Model, functioning cockpits and instruments, the main set of air to ground and air to air weapons such as sidewinders, sparrrows, mavericks, laser guided bombs, dumb bombs, a gun and of course a fully functional radar, avionics suite and F-4 specific systems that will help you dominate the battlefields of its time. As usual it will come chock-full of content, including training missions, Singleplayer missions, Multiplayer scenarios and of course, more than one campaign.
Q: Will it come with Multicrew capability and a WSO AI?
A: From day one you will be able to enjoy the F-4 with full multicrew functionality and with the JESTER-AI, tailored to the needs and capabilities of the F-4 Phantom.
Q: Why won’t all variants be part of one module?
A: The investment of time and effort to do the Navy and Marine Corps versions of the F-4 justice makes it unrealistic for us to include everything in one package. We want to make sure to tell the story of each Phantom variant chosen in the most content rich and appropriate way possible, while making sure that we stay a thriving and viable team. We’ll share more details on our plans with regards to variant additions to the F-4 later, but we remain steadfastly committed to ensuring that we are fair to our beloved community and supporters.
Q: Why does the announcement come so early?
A: We initially wanted to keep things a secret until we were just about ready to release, but the volume of interest and questions about the F-4 made that quite impossible! Hopefully you enjoyed the announcement trailer, even if short- stay tuned for our full unveiling closer to release day. We’re excited about you all being a part of the Phantom journey
Q: When will you share more?
A: As the development of the module continues, we will try to be as transparent as possible and include you as much as we can, sharing the different stages of the development as well as exploring this phabulous aircraft together with you all.
Q: What about the Eurofighter, the A-6E, F-14 and Viggen? Are you biting off too much?
A: The Heatblur team has never grown nor been more capable than it is today. The trust you put in us is absolutely sacred, and the announcement of the F-4 has no bearing on the steadfast commitment to continued progress on existing and other future modules. The F-4 has been under active development since early 2021, and our roadmap, including the Eurofighter and other future modules was created in this context.
With an ever expanding portfolio, it is important for us to ensure that we will not let up on maintaining our high standards for all of our modules, released or yet to be released. Per astra ad aspera, upwards and onwards, with our partners at Eagle Dynamics we plan to continue on pushing boundaries as long as we stand and could not be more excited about both present and future.
