NATO Fighters 5 for Strike Fighters 2 This package contains latest version of "NATO Fighters," a comprehensive mod for "Strike Fighters 2 Europe" (SF2E). Version 5 of "NATO Fighters" builds on "NATO Fighters 4+" (the original release for SF2E) -- adding dozens of new aircraft and ground objects, updating the GermanyCE terrain to look better than it ever has, including "blue side" SAMs in the terrain, overhauling the existing campaigns with new units and aircraft, adding two campaigns (a new 1953 campaign and a variant of the 1986 campaign), as well as implementing hundreds of other fixes and updates to just about every area of the mod. This mod package is designed for "Strike Fighters 2 Europe" (SF2E) installations that 1) are patched to the Mar2012 or later patch level, and that 2) also have "Strike Fighters 2 Israel" (SF2I), "Expansion Pack 1" (Exp1) and "Expansion Pack 2" (Exp2) incorporated into the installation base. If you are running SF2E at an earlier patch level and do NOT intend to update to the minimum patch level mentioned above, you should NOT install this mod package. If you do not have SF2I, Exp1, and Exp2 in addition to SF2E, you should NOT install this mod package. Note that this is a COMPLETE mod package. There is no need to install any previous version of "NATO Fighters." Nor should you attempt to install it over the top of any previous version, as you could end up with a non-working install. NOTE: this mod is distributed as set of EIGHT 7zip archive files. If you did not download all eight 7zip packages from CombatAce.com, then this mod will not work properly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Minimum Requirements ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To install and play this mod, you must have the following installed as part of your target installation base: SF2 VERSION: Strike Fighters 2 Europe (SF2E), plus Strike Fighters 2 Israel (SF2I), plus Expansion Pack 1 (SF2I Exp1), plus Expansion Pack 2 (SF2E Exp2) PATCH LEVEL: Mar2012 or higher This mod does support installations that include "Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic" (SF2NA), however, SF2NA is not required. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Update Notes ~~~~~~~~~~~~ This mod package is a refreshed and updated version of the original version that was released in September 2012 on CombatAce. This refreshed version of the mod includes the following major additions to the "NATO Fighters 5" mod package: New Aircraft - A-26C - Harrier3_82 - B-50D - Il-10 - C-54 - MiG-19R - CanberraB2 - MiG-21PFS-I - CanberraB6 - MiG-21PFS-II - CanberraBI6 - Myasishchev 3MN - CanberraPR7 - Myasishchev 3MS - F 35 Draken - Su-7BKL - F-105D_74 Optional Aircraft New Aircraft Models - A-10A_76 - F-1C - A-10A_79 - F-1C200 - B-36D - F-117A - B-45A - JaguarA - F-104A DLC - Javelin9 - F-104C DLC - MiG-29A - Mirage3E - Su-25 - Mirage5BR - RB-45C - S-99 DLC New GroundObjects Other Additions - Container_Ship - Red Campaigns - ContainerShip - Support for Rends' GermanyCE - Tanker2 - Misc Trucks ...plus numerous other fixes, updates, and skin additions to almost every aircraft and ground object. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Installation ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before installing this mod package, please ensure the installation of "Strike Fighters 2 Europe" (SF2E) that you intend to use is updated to at least the Mar2012 patch level. The latest patches for SF2E can be downloaded from ThirdWire: http://thirdwire.com/downloads.htm Also, please be aware that the mod also requires "Strike Fighters 2 Israel" (SF2I), "Expansion Pack 1" (Exp1) and "Expansion Pack 2" (Exp2) in addition to SF2E. This mod can be installed to SF2E installations that incorporate "Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic" (SF2NA), but SF2NA is not required. The main installation process consists of three main steps. Please read the following instructions carefully and follow them religiously. If you wind up with a non-working mod install, then you likely failed to follow the instructions properly. ----------------------------------- * STEP 1: PREPARE THE MOD FOLDER * ----------------------------------- This mod requires a separate Mod Folder. Please do not attempt to install this mod over or combine it with other mods such as the previously released "NATO Fighters 4+," "Operation Desert Storm," or the SF2V Expansion Pack. - Open your SF2 Installation directory and make a copy of StrikeFighters2 Europe.exe or StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic.exe (if your target install base includes SF2NA). Rename the copied .EXE file to StrikeFighters2_NF5.exe (or whatever unique name you prefer). - Run the newly copied and renamed .EXE file, then exit back out to the Windows desktop after navigating through a few menus. A custom Mod Folder for your "NATO Fighters 5" (NF5) install will have been created in one of these locations: Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder] Windows Vista: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder] Windows 7: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder] ...where [YourModFolder] matches the name of the copied .EXE file that you created. You will install the "NATO Fighters 5" (NF5) mod files to your Mod Folder. - Open your Mod Folder and delete the \Objects sub-directory (including everything in it). Now you're ready to install the NF5 mod proper. ------------------------------------------------- * STEP 2: INSTALL MAIN COMPONENTS TO MOD FOLDER * ------------------------------------------------- This is the easiest step. - Unpack the eight "NATO Fighters 5" (NF5) archive packages to a temporary location on your hard drive. - Move the contents of the \To_Mod_Folder directory from all eight unzipped packages to your Mod Folder (created in Step 1 above). (Note: do not simply drag and drop the folder named "To_Mod_Folder" or you will end up with a non-working install.) If you've moved everything correctly, you should have a new \Objects sub-directory in your Mod Folder, along with a few new other sub-directories. ---------------------------- * STEP 3: EDIT OPTIONS.INI * ---------------------------- This last step involves a bit of text editing, so please pay attention. Open the Options.INI in your Mod Folder. Locate the "Single Mission" section. At minimum you should change the EndYear= statement to 1986 or higher. I recommend setting the StartYear= and EndYear= as follows: StartYear=1945 EndYear=2020 Finally, a little further down you should find the "Campaign" section. Replace it with the following: [Campaign] CampaignName=790918 Red Lightning PlayerService=USAF PlayerUnit=7th TFS Bunyaps AircraftType=F-15A Difficulty=HARD Length=NORMAL AircraftSupply=NORMAL WeaponSupply=LIMITED LoadCampaign=TRUE CampaignSavename=DefaultCampaignSave Save your changes and close the Options.INI file. * * * * * THAT'S IT. Your "NATO Fighters 5" install for SF2E should now be ready to use. Please read the following section for more information on the optional installs included with this mod. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Optional Installs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A. Aircraft Included in the \_Optional folder are files to support the installation of a number of optional aircraft. 1. DLC Aircraft The following optional aircraft are based on ThirdWire DLC releases and required the listed DLCs to be installed in order to use these aircraft: Aircraft DLC Required -------- ------------ F-104A_58 DLC28: AI Plane Pack 1 F-104C_61 DLC28: AI Plane Pack 1 Mirage3E_64 DLC17: Mirage IIIO Mirage3E_68 DLC17: Mirage IIIO Mirage5BA DLC07: Mirage 5BA Mirage5BA_80 DLC07: Mirage 5BA Mirage5BR DLC17: Mirage IIIO Mirage5BR_80 DLC17: Mirage IIIO S-99_45 DLC28: AI Plane Pack 1 If you have the required DLCs to support the above aircraft, you can install these aircraft by copying or moving the appropriate folders from the \Aircraft and \Decals directories in \Optional to the Objects\Aircraft and \Objects\Decals directories in your NF5 Mods Folder. These aircraft will be automatically used in campaigns. 2. Full Aircraft Also available are two A-10A versions based on new models released by Spectre8750: A-10A_76 A-10A_79 If installed, these A-10s will be used in campaigns instead of the default ThirdWire A-10s. To install these alternate A-10s, simply copy or move the appropriate folders (\A-10A_76 & \A-10A_79) from the \Aircraft and \Decals directories in \Optional to the Objects\Aircraft and \Objects\Decals directories in your NF5 Mods Folder. 3. DAT Aircraft Finally, the \Optional directory includes files to support the installation of four different aircraft available from the A-Team's web site at: http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/ These aircraft are: B-36D B-45A RB-45C Swift5 Note that the aircraft folders included here do NOT include the 3D models for the aircraft. Thus, you MUST download the original aircraft packages from the above site (which requires you to apply for access) in order to obtain the models required to use these aircraft. To add any of these four aircraft to your NF5 Mod: 1. Download the original aircraft packages from the A-Team's site (see link above). 2. Unzip the aircraft packages to a temporary directory. 3. Copy the .LOD files from the packages you downloaded to the corresponding folders in the \Optional\Aircraft directory. 4. Once you've added the LOD files to the aircraft folders, you may install the aircraft and accompanying decals from the \Optional directory to the \Objects\Aircraft and \Objects\Decals directories in your NF5 Mods Folder. Once installed, these aircraft will be automatically used in campaigns. B. Terrains The \Optional directory also includes files to support the installation of Rends' modified version of the GermanyCE terrain. Note that Rend's complete GermanyCE terrain must be downloaded and installed separately from CombatAce (in three parts): http://combatace.com/files/file/14686-germany-terrain-rework-part-1-of-3/ http://combatace.com/files/file/14687-germany-terrain-rework-part-2-of-3/ http://combatace.com/files/file/14688-germany-terrain-rework-part-3-of-3/ The files included here effectively make Rends' terrain fully compatible with the NATO Fighters 5 campaigns. To use Rends' GermanyCE terrain in lieu of the default terrain, do the following: 1. Download all three parts of Rends' terrain from the links provided above and unpack the 7zip files to a temporary directory. 2. Remove the default GermanyCE terrain from \Terrains in your NF5 Mods Folder. 3. Install the terrain as directed in the ReadMe. (Do not install the Ground Objects, as the required objects are already included in this update package.) 4. Copy the \GermanyCE folder from \Optional\Terrains to \Terrains in your NF5 Mods Folder, allowing Windows to overwrite files as prompted. That's it. Rends' GermanyCE terrain should now be used as the default terrain for NF5. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Note on the F-86F in the 1956 Campaign ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The USAF 36th FBW flew the F-86F from the Fall of 1953 to the Spring of 1956, when the first F-100 Sabres began arriving at Bitburg and Ramstein. Given that there are already a good number of F-100A/C squadrons in the 1956 campaign, we have elected to let the 36th FBW units (22nd, 23rd, 32nd, 53rd, & 461st FDS) fly the F-86-30 "Hard Wing" Sabre (F-86F-30FB_HW) in the 1956 campaign (which starts 17 November). If you would prefer that the 36th FBW units fly their true historical mounts in the '56 campaign, simply remove the F-86F-30FB_HW folder from \Objects\Aircraft, and the campaign will default to the F-100C for the five affected 36th FBW units. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Supported DLC Aircraft ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following aircraft released as DLC packs from 3rdWire are supported in the campaigns (but are not required): Hunter6_60 Mirage5BA Mirage5BA_80 If you do not have these DLCs installed, equivalent substitutes will be automatically used: Hunter6-60 Mirage5BA_TMF Mirage5BA_80_TMF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Note on Anti-Ship Missiles ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For this mod most third-party (i.e., non-stock) anti-ship missiles have been converted to use the ASM/cruise missile functionality introduced w/ SF2NA. At the same time, the older versions of these missiles have been preserved, as the new ASM cruise missiles can be used by AI only against ships. So, for many anti-ship missiles you will now find two versions: 1) "Standard" guided version These versions are the "old" style missiles setwith WeaponDataType=1. They can be used by AI against land and sea targets. These missiles retain their familiar names (e.g., AGM-84D Harpoon, Kh-59M Ovod, etc.). 2) ASM/cruise missile version These versions utilitize the new cruise missile functionality set by WeaponDataType=7. They can be used by AI only against ships. These versions can be distinguished by their names: - U.S./NATO missiles have the ASM tag (e.g., AGM-84D Harpoon ASM). - Soviet/WP missiles follow the naming convention used by ThirdWire's Soviet cruise missiles (e.g., Kh-59M AS-13 Kingbolt). At the same time aircraft that typically carry these missiles have been updated to accommodate the ASM versions. Loadouts for these aircraft have been updated to use ASM versions by default for Anti-Ship, Naval_Attack, and Cruise_Missile loadouts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Note on Laser-Guided Bombs (LGBs) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AI pilots in Strike Fighters have long had problems employing LGBs. AI pilots in the player's flight can drop LGBs, but will treat them as dumb bombs. AI pilots in flights not controlled by the player (i.e., AI-only flights) cannot use LGBs at all, and will typically get stuck circling the target. To address this problem I have created EOGB versions of all LGBs for AI pilots to use (AI pilots have no problems with EOGBs for some reason). These AI versions are identical in all respects to the LGB versions save for the Guidance Type, which is set to "Electro-Optical Guided" instead of "Laser-Guided." By default aircraft that use LGBs for certain loadouts (usually Stike, Attack, SEAD, or Anti-Ship) are loaded with these AI (EOGB) versions instead of the LGB versions. You should make it a habit to check the Loadout screen and switch the bomb version on your own aircraft to the LGB version. You can distinguish between the AI (EOGB) and LGB (Player) versions by the weapon name -- for example: LGB version: GBU-12D/B Paveway II LGB AI version: GBU-12D/B Paveway II (AI) While this solution introduces an extra step for the player in the preparation to start a mission, it allows AI pilots and AI-only flights to use these weapons. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Changes, Fixes, & Additions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This mod is a major update and expansion of "NATO fighters 4+," previously released at CombatAce.com for "Strike Fighters 2 Europe." This updated mod package incorporates the following major updates and additions over NF4+: New Aircraft ------------ A-26B F-86F-30FB MiG-21R TF-104G B-66B F-86F-30FB_HW MiG-25RB Tu-4K Buccaneer-S2B_RAFG F-100D-FR Mistral Venom1 F-4E_79 F-111E NF-5A Venom4 F-4M_85 Hunter6-60 RB-57A Yak-9P/U F-16A_Blk15_Baf Hunter10 RF-4E_GAF Yak-15 F-16C_B25 IL-28R RF-4E_GAF_Late Yak-25RV F-19A La-11 RF-80A Yak-27R F-80C La-15 RF-100A Yak-28BI F-84E MD-450 S-99 Yak-28I F-84G MiG-9 Sabre4 Yak-28L F-86A-5 MiG-19P Swift5 + Yak-28P F-86D MiG-19PM T-33A Yak-28R Added in Decmber 2014: A-26C F-105D_74 Su-7BKL Mirage5BR + B-50D Harrier3_82 A-10A_76 + RB-45C + C-54 Il-10 A-10A_79 + S-99 DLC + CanberraB2 MiG-19R B-36D + CanberraB6 MiG-21PFS-I B-45A + CanberraBI6 MiG-21PFS-II F-104A DLC + CanberraPR7 Myasishchev3MN F-104C DLC + F 35 Draken Myasishchev3MS Mirage3E + + This is an optional aircraft & may require LODs obtained separately Upgraded Aircraft * ----------------- F-1C MiG-25RB F-1C200 MiG-29A F-101C Mirage2000C JaguarA RF-101C JaguarGR RF-84F Javelin9 Su-25 MiG-25PD TornadoGR1 * The above are aircraft that were either converted to newer models or that received major upgrades of some kind. All aircraft from the previous version of this mod were updated or tweaked in some way or another -- some more than others.

Suffice it to say that NATO Fighters 5 represents a major overhaul of its predecessor in the NATO Fighters mod series. ~~~~~~~ Credits ~~~~~~~ This mod package builds upon "NATO Fighters 4+," previously released at CombatAce.com along with five update packages.
