When I invited some of the most renowned modders to contribute to it, I would have never expected such an amazing support from many of them. After roughly 8 months of development, we have produced a high-quality total conversion for Strike Fighters 2, all for free. Driven by passion and teamwork, we managed to achieve new heights and set new standards; this modification is most likely the most complete ever anthology of the Gulf War in any flight sim to date. 2020 has been a difficult year for so many all over the world due to an unprecedented pandemic. It has been a very difficult year for me as well, unrelated to the pandemic. I am extremely proud of what I started, but without the support of the team I managed to form, I would have never accomplished this amazing modding project with success. I want to dedicate this to my beloved girlfriend, Alessandra. With her love and support, I have come to realize my potential and value as a human being. Così adesso lo sai...

Work is started on the 707-320 cockpit.

Let me be the first to congratulate Menrva and all those involved in this incredible achievement. The attention to detail, countless enhancements and level of quality places this mod (in my opinion) as one of the greatest ever made for this series!

Exceptional work my friend, and thank you to everyone who contributed to the project.

View File Ilyushin Il-78 "Midas" The Il-78 tanker was developed and designed in the Ilyushin Aviation Complex in Russia. The main reason behind its development was an expansion of the transferable fuel load of an earlier version of tanker, the Il-76. The Il-78 has a total transferable fuel load of 85,720 kilograms (188,980 lb), which includes 28,000 kilograms (62,000 lb) from a pair of 18,230-litre (4,010 imp gal; 4,820 US gal) tanks in the freight hold. In comparison, the Il-76 has a capacity of only 10,000 kilograms (22,000 lb). The Il-78 transfers fuel solely through deployment of the probe-and-drogue refueling method. WHAT'S IN: - IL-78 plane tweaked (engines smoke in place, animations sets etc.) - 14 new skins for ALL around the world operators - proper serial numbers CREDITS: - Veltro2k: plane model - Wrench: original templates - paulopanz: skins, decals and ini works OPERATIONS: - Key = 10 open side door - ctrl+O = open the cargo Bay NOTE: This is the first of the IL-76 family repacks Enjoy! @paulopanz Submitter paulopanz Submitted 01/16/2021 Category Other  

Fantastic job, my friend. Let's make the next one!

Congratulations !!!

Honoured to have been involved in this, even if I did not have the time to contribute as much as I wanted. This is an amazing mod and a new benchmark for the SF community. Congrats to Menrva and all the team.

Honored to have beta tested as able. I can promise you the material within is going to be a delight for those who like creating single missions...

Thanks to Russo I managed to fix the black shadow. and I just cut the concept windows more work needed to get it correct but the concept is working.

Escort service.

Yes you are correct, but I had the same doubt, therefor your guess matched my doubt for that its information to back my suspicion. LOL

Doin time in in the Med with the World Famous Pukin Dogs now i just wanted some pics. but this guy wanted to act like the Arab Red Baron i go to close in again, and suddenly my wingman calls Fox 1 so i figured it was a good time to break away

This might not be the place to say it, but I just want to thank the modders for all the things they still do for this game.

Edwards AFB has found some secret squirrel friends to the north end of their dry lake bed...

MCAS El Toro set up for double take offs...

The last update for today I completed the UVW and started making some work on the painting.

The Bayraktar TB2 about 90 % completed, not having a good blueprint is really making it hard to get it correct I have used more than 100 photos to work with but I think it will do. next UVW work, then animating the landing gear as well as other things.

Headed out to break things and hurt people..... SAC - "It's what we do"

I think I am getting closer to the correct shape. but there is a lot of work needed. I will take a break and do another project and I will get back to it later.

Okay started working on the Bayraktar TB2 it will be a while but this is the start. This model is addiction lol can't stop. Decided to make it in more than one piece.

Final update for the M978/M977 HEMTT

I never forgat your request, my friend, and I will deliver. it's in the pipeline.

If you know the game, you know how it ends...
