Built as a successor to the PBM Mariner, it had better engines, an improved hull, and a single vertical fin tail. The P5M-1 was followed by 116 P5M-2 planes. These had a T-tail to put the tail surfaces out of the spray, an AN/ASQ-8 MAD boom at the rear of the tail-tip, no tail guns (the gun position replaced by he antenna for the AN/APN-122 Doppler Navigation Set), better crew accommodation, and an improved bow to reduce spray during takeoff and landing. WHAT'S IN: - 30 Skins (27 USN; 1 USCG; 2 MN) - decals / serial historical numbers by Squadron - loadout.tga image CREDITS: - A-TEAM original model - pappychksix original skins - paulopanz edited & new skins; decals, loadout.tga. ini edits TO INSTALL: - (*) you need P5M-R0c.lod from original A-TEAM Beta package or if you use the P5M-R1.lod from modern planes section you have to change P5M.ini like this: [LOD001] Filename=P5M-R1.LOD Distance=100 [LOD002] Filename=P5M-R1.LOD Distance=250 [LOD003] Filename=P5M-R1.LOD Distance=500 [LOD004] Filename=P5M-R1.LOD Distance=2000 [LOD005] Filename=P5M-R1.LOD Distance=15000 - put it inside AIRCRAFT/P5M folder - put all the new package in your SF-2 folder NOTES: I made this pack because I love this plane and hate texture painted serial numbers. The model I used is a beta and has some easy to fix mapping bugs (I could show), that I tried to mask as better I can, because as many others - I fear - it'll not be ever fixed. The realise lod has the same problems (unfixed bugs) as the beta so you can use both. Enjoy @ paulopanz

This is an update for my repaint of the redone VietnamSEA tiles and the GreenHelll addon. Thus the previous update is required: VietnamSEA & Green Hell repaint Mk.9 In the original I offered a repaint of the rescaled Green Hell trees, as well as 'enhanced originals' I bodged together, that were basically the original trees pushed about a stop (thats photographic speak for made brighter), but the colours didn't blend with the terrain- ugly.<h2 class="maintitle"></h2>In this update you have four tree types to choose from (don't get too excited they're not all that different). Upon request I reworked the original larger Green Hell trees for both the 'originals' and the 'repaints'. Includes: Large Trees/ Repaint: **Recommended** reworked repaint that gives a more accurate variation in the colour of the vegetation (primarily to the grass and palm trees) with terrain blending also kept in mind. Large Trees/Original: overall colours and curves altered to make vegetation blend with my repainted terrain. No alterations to individual vegetation. Rescaled Trees/Repaint: Same as above with rescaled trees. Rescaled Trees/Original: As above. Changes: - Upon request, addon now included altered version of the original Green Hell trees as well as the smaller rescaled ones for your preference. - Originals re-done with same alterations used on my tiles. - Repainted trees better balanced out for more realism once placed on terrain, whilst maintain their independently realistic colours.

Saab Draken F.1 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a 'what if' Saab Draken F.1 with markings for No.56 and No.74 squadrons of the Royal Air Force as they might of appeared in the 1960's in service with RAF Fighter Command. I've used the excellent Draken J35D 'David' from the Draken pack uploaded at CombatACE by lindr2 to create this 'what if' RAF Draken but heartily recommend the Draken pack which has no less than 8 Drakens and is a superb effort by all concerned. Apart from a simple bit of overspray onto the superb Bare Metal Skin I've simply used my decals to create RAF Drakens for No.56 sqd (The Firebirds) and No.74 sqd (The Tigers) and these two squadrons were never far away from each other during that era. I've tweaked the data.ini and also the loading.ini to give RAF style loadouts and also used the stock Su-7 drop tanks which are a good match. The Draken itself was an amazing achievement and has a similar WOW factor to the contempory 'Century Series' of fighters - you just cannot believe it first flew in 1955... it just looks so cool! As much as I love the English Electric Lightning you must remember that the Draken had half the power but effectively did the same job plus another half-a-dozen! In addition, it cost dramatically less and it certainly required a fraction of the maintenance man-hours!
