SF2 F-16C/D Block 60 Fictional USAF Squadrons.


SF2 F-16C/D Block 60 Fictional USAF Squadrons.
Viper63a

 

There are rumors swirling around that the USAF will be upgrading their aging, but much needed F-16 Falcons. I knew about Spudknocker's UAE F16E/Fs and Dtmdragon's New Zealand F-16C/Ds with CFTs, but why should they have all the fun? Here are some USAF F-16C(E)/D(F) Falcon Avengers!

 

Enjoy!

 

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

 

Please read this entire readme (at least the Installations section) before you attempt to install this mod! This mod is complete in it's own, but their are some options you need to be aware of.
This mod was created using all, many or some elements from the following mods listed below. I just repainted and mixed some stuff around - ALL CREDIT GOES to these people and the faithful modders on CombatAce...

 

* First and foremost - The Viper Team's F-16 Package.
* Spudknocker's F-16E/F Block 60 Desert Falcon mod.

Note! My Mod folder looks something like this...your may/will be different...

I hope Uncle Sam follows your what if, viper63a!  I know the F-16 is getting old, but it deserves some attention, it was/is one of the best multirole fighters that history ever witnessed.  Oh, and BTW, nice mod as usual, keep up the good work, mate!

I read somewhere that the Falcon was a worthy replacement for the Mustang. I think the comparison to a legend says it all.

This Fighter is the best fighter ever developed in numbers, developed as multirole nothings could replace this bird untill now..

I heard they are releasing a F-16V - for Viper. Sounds pretty cool. Not sure if it's a game changer, but glad to see there are still upgrades for one of the best fighters ever made.

      NovaLogic Skin Pack
      September 13th, 2022 (1st Release)
      by Menrva

      >For Strike Fighters 2 games
      This package includes high quality skins representing the player's aircraft from three lite flight simulators released by NovaLogic, namely F-22 Raptor in 1997, F-16 Multirole Fighter and MiG-29 Fulcrum both released in 1998. Below, a summary of the details of each skins:
      -NL_357CW, for the F-22A Raptor aircraft I released. This skin represents the fictive Raptor Squadron of the 58th TFS, 357th CW (Composite Wing), which took part in military operations in Angola, Jordan, Russia, Colombia and Iran. Serial numbers are realistic, the first being 001 as portrayed on the player's aircraft from NovaLogic's game.
      -NL_16AESOG, for the F-16C Block 42 aircraft released by The Viper Team. It depicts the fictive Viper Squadron of the 32nd TFS, 16th AESOG (Air Expeditionary Special Operations Group), which took part in military operations in Serbia, Liberia, Congo, Burma and Somalia. I made the skin for the Block 42, since it's closer to the one that NovaLogic modelled. Serial numbers are semi-realistic, the first being 112 as portrayed on the player's aircraft from NovaLogic's game.
      -NL_11EW, for the MiG-29S Fulcrum-C aircraft released by The Mirage Factory. It depicts the fictive 300 Squadron of the 7th Red Banner Guards Regiment, 11th Expeditionary Wing, which took part in military operations in the Kurile Islands, Uganda, Somalia, Burma and Tajikistan. Serial numbers are generic, the aircraft does not have any in NovaLogic's game.

      >Credits (in no particular order):
      -The Viper Team, for its detailed F-16 3d models and relative templates.
      -The Mirage Factory, for its good old MiG-29 3d model.
      -Sundowner, for the MiG-29 templates he made available.
      -yakarov79, for his reworked F-22 3d model and relative templates.

      >Disclaimer:
      This is a freeware; yet it can be redistributed ONLY in other CombatACE mods/mod packages.
      This mod may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware additions.

      View File [Fictional] General Dynamics Falcon FG.3
      General Dynamics Falcon FG.3 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a simple mod of the Viper Team's superb two-seat F-16D to give a fictional Falcon FG.3 with markings for No.41 and No.54 squadrons of the Royal Air Force.
      Please note that the 3D model does have a minor shadow issue and whilst shadows can easily be turned off I've chosen to leave them on... so just fly the damn thing!
      [Shadow]
      CastShadow=TRUE               <<<<< Change to FALSE
      ShadowCastDist=5000
      MaxVisibleDistance=500

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the FalconFG3 folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the FalconFG3 folder into your Decals folder.
      3. From the Weapons folder drag and drop the enclosed folders into your Weapons folder.
      That's it!

      CREDITS
      As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
      Special thanks to the Viper Team for creating this Falcon two-seater.
      In this revised upload I've included the AAQ-14 LANTIRN pod by the legend that is ravenclaw_007. Thank you!
       
      And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
      Regards
      Spinners
      Version 2 - January 11th, 2024.
