These are a repaint of the original files to represent four of the squadrons operating the P631 in France 1940 - two night fighters and from the French Navy. I have tried to match the underwing codes with the aircraft numbers. New Hangar and loading screens, user list and data file included. This is not a full install. Please download and install the original version first. You'll get to keep Charles' excellent original textures.

EmlD Nieuport 24E (trainer) "Issoudun Nieuport series" for First Eagles 2 This is a full aircraft type, trying to represent the trainer Nieuports used by United States at Issoudun. "Issoudun Nieuport series" a set of several Nieuports used by the United States to train pilots during WW1 in France at Issoudun airdrome. Many of these Nieuports had very atypical painting schemes, between them, two with fish scales were "The Jazbo" And the "Flying Fish" (also called the "Dragon ship" or "Gwynne's Goldfish") and several others. Also these were considered "special ships" and representative of their unit. Often they were just for formation flying. Each crew tried to keep these bird primed for inspection. At Field eight there were multiple single coloured Nieuport 24 types used as aggressors for camera armed dogfights so a student could prove he had gotten his opponent. I gathered most of them in this series of skins. This first pack features EmlD Nieuports 24 that I renamed Nieuport 24E (trainer). You will find several versions for some of the planes with different colors at your choice. ** What you will find in this Nieuport 24 Pack: - Eight (8) Nieuport 24 Skins in several versions & Colors options.

StrikeFighter2 World War II (ETO) Hi-Res 1920x1080 Menu Screens and Music! By Viper This mod includes custom "World War II" themed menu screens and pilots for the ETO package I hope someone will make in the future (if not already made that I don't know about). You should unzip the file and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better. If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up (make a copy of) your FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup. To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder. To remove, simply delete the FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders and rename the copies you made to FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders. My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit would be something like... C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\<Name of your ETO mod folder>\ Enjoy!
