Hello everyone, I am sharing what I am working on with the team. It is a slow project because we do it for the hobby. We are flowing along with it, and there is no ETA. Initially, I worked on Dhimar and Paran expansion pack without much research, which led me to do a project that made no sense. That was an opportunity for me to learn how to do it properly, especially in a semi-realistic way that makes sense. I decided to discontinue Dhimar and Paran expansion project because I didn't want to change the stories written by TW. Therefore, I want to honor his work. Thank the community and friends for inspiring me to work on an entirely new fictional nation that I can envision and bring into SF2. A friend of mine recommended I look into the Africa map, where the imaginary nations of Saad and Zafir come in. What took the longest time was actual research about the nations around the horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula and the ancient civilization around that area. The research on the language, cultures, and history was also involved. It taught me many new things, which opened me to Africa and the Arab world. This is how Saad and Zafir get an enriched history and depths with the cultures, languages, and where they come from. This led me from just making SF2 mods into writing a book. I never thought I would do it, yet I am doing it as a hobby. Then it came to me; this book is not just for SF2; it can be used for any simulation. It taught me how to be creative with the stories, including the graphic designs (flags, insignia, roundel, pilot badges, and other materials). After finishing the short history series about Saad and Zafir's ancestors, I can start focusing on finding the right aircraft for Saad and Zafir. It is intended that Saad and Zafir are truly unique to each other and the world of SF2. It won't be another classic "USA aircraft vs. Soviets Aircraft." Instead, they use various aircraft tied to Saad and Zafir history with connections to certain nations from Europe to the Middle East to Asia. They will still use some of the United States and Soviets aircraft, though. My friend has been a great teacher who taught me a lot about the military system and how they do things. I can make Saad and Zafir military semi-realistic with it, especially when being fictional nations. I intend to bridge the alternative world (SFAW) with this world in balanced ways. By the way, here is the information about the SFAW project: I will give you the brief background about Saad and Zafir. NOTE: I am NOT an expert with the language of Tigrinya. I am still looking for someone who knows the Tigrinya languages. I find them to be very interesting. It is intended that the language of Tigrinya for Saad is one of the native languages. That way, Saad can be fully immersive in the book and SF2. ሳድ (Saad) - (1920 – Present) الظافر (Zafir) - (1930 – Present) FAQs Cheers!

Hello everyone, I am back! I have been working on an exciting project I dreamed of doing with a teammate. Dhimar and Paran was the first step that pushed me into creating the completely new, fictional nations for SF2. A lot has happened since I canceled Dhimar and Paran expansion project. Initially, I realized that it would be unwise to change the stories written by someone already. TW already creates Dhimar and Paran. Hence, it makes more sense to write my own stories instead. And thank the community and friends, I was recommended to look into Africa for fictional nations. That is what lead me to the mod project known as SFAW. It stands for Strike Fighter Alternative World. Without changing too much in the world of SF2, the fiction nations are being bridged into this world in semi-realistic ways. I am fortunate to have a friend who teaches me a lot about the military's work. It led me into research and creating the squadron, insignia, nation, history, nation flags, military branches standard, etc... I never realized this would lead me to make a book with many references. It has been such a joy and blast being an author of the book for the first time. What took me the longest time was researching the countries around the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. I intended to create nations with their own cultures, languages, and history. I am working with a great friend who is also a teacher. We are doing this as our hobby, hence flowing with the project. I am working with a two-member team to bring the book into SF2 and FE2 world. An announcement about the SFAW project with details will be announced in a new thread. For now, here is a preview of the SFAW mod from the book:

Oh, no, it's "i have new phone, and i dont now what i'm doing" case. Now it should be OK, sorry for the inconvenience.

Quoting the size-offending text a few times is kinda.. snowball-effect ya know

"Two weeks !"...

I´m almost sure that the SFP crew is disbanded. They´re focuses on mobile games.

I contacted TK (Thirdwire) a long time ago, if he is willing to sell SF2 or parts of it. But I never got an response.

Hello everyoone, I have been doing a lot of work on decals and learning how it works while still contemplating on the aircraft list, which will hopefully be finished by end of this week. I didn't realize how awesome the decals system are. With it,you could change the nationality, squadron, number, or any decals on the plane WITHOUT having to paint new decals over plane skin. I want to take full advantage of this. That way anyone who downloads the mods and want to change anything related to the decals on the plane, can easily do this. I have been working a lot on learning the tricks on placing decals over multi parts and have it align together properly. While I already have some of the planes ready for RPPAF, here are screenshots: NOTE: Imported aircraft will have nation's original skins. However, Paran localized built aircraft will have Paran's camo, as shown on PF1-A below. La-11 Tu-2S MiG-15 FP1-A (MiG-15bis)
