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.

* All new skins created using the Viper Team's F-16 skin templates.
* All new tail number decals 010 > 099 for years 2014 > 2018.

* Includes a subset of (Viper Team) Weapons for use with this pack.
* All jets sounds were reset to default to reduce conflicts.

* Updated AB flame, exhaust smoke, missile emitters.

 

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

 

Note! BACKUP your EFFECTS, FLIGHT and OBJECTS folders! Saves a lot of heart-ache and time!
Note! My Mod folder looks something like this...your may/will be different...

 

C:\Users\<MyName>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters <XXXXX>

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.

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.
