SF2 F8F-1 Bearcat, VNAF 12/31/2025 = For SF2, Any and All, But Designed for SF2:V = Modifications to Geo's Bearcat recreate those as used by the (South) Vietnamese Air Force from the mid 1950s thru the early 1960s. This is a stand-alone, nationalized aircraft mod, with just about everything you'll need. This mod has been 'salvaged' from my unfinished "Vietnam 48" mod (hence the "_FN" suffix, as it was originally for the French). You'll have 2 new skins, created from Geary's excellent template: VNAF = Glossy Sea Blue, <1954 (received from the French) VNAF2 = Natural Metal(ish) Finish <1960 Both skins represent the VNAF's 1st Fighter Squadron. Most markings are decals. National emblems are, however painted on Decal randomization is TRUE for all the serial numbers. There are 26 for each skin. The SF2 date switch is active, and will automatically shift to the NMF skin in 1960 The canopy opens with the Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0 (zero). Pilot figures, and WW2 period bombs and drop tanks are included. If you have the Full 7 Merged (with both Expansion Packs), you can change the AN-M64 500 pounders (aka: 500lb_bomb) for the stock 3W version (M64). The 5" HVARs are stock 3W items. You'll also be adding a new engine sound, and this will need to be added to the Sound list ini, so have that extracted (if you haven't already), and in the /Flight folder in you SF2:V Mods Folder. As extra special end-of-the-year-gifts, I've included a modified main ini for the stock VietnamSEA terrain, backdating it to start in 1955, after the withdrawal of French forces, and the partition of the country into North and South. AND!!!! as an Super Extra Added Bonus (tm) You get a new(ish) generic loading screen, for general global use (when no other exists). On the Aircraft Selection Drop Down menu, you'll see F8F-1 Bearcat (VNAF) As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. Please read the Notes section for other possibly useless information, and (hopefully) full credits. Please also take note of changes in the Standard Disclaimer in the "Legal BS" section at the bottom. Wrench Kevin Stein

Feuerland alias Tierra del Fuego terrain 1.0 ***************************************************************************** ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This terrain is written for SF2NA and SF2E or SF2I or SF2V. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I. Short description: This terrain covers the south of South America and is focused on Tierra del Fuego. The timeframe of the terrain is from 1960 to 2030 It is a two nations map: Argentina and Chile. It is made as a NavalMap so that you can fly carrier missions against Chile. You can fly following missions: SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,RECON,CAS,ARMED_RECON The terrain works best in a separate South America installation, otherwise you will find a lot of soviet planes and FLAK. How to do a separate installation please look in the SF2 Knowledgebase in CombatAce forum. It is a fast made terrain with some issues: I have not checked the coastline, so you will surely find "water climbing the hill". The very most target areas are only populated with 1 warehose and 1 Flak. The complete area north of Tierra del Fuego i have not touched. The tileset i took from IslandNA terrain, which is outdated by todays standards. (256x256 pixel tileset instead modern 1024x1024) ********************************************************************************************* Use the terrain for own improvements. Feel free to modify this terrain. If you want to release your own improvments include that ReadMe file in your package and give me proper credit. For targetarea modifications you find in Mues Toolbox 0.2.1 some powerfull tools. https://combatace.com/files/file/15942-mues-toolbox/ For tile change or heightfield modifications use the old TerrainEditor by TK. I know it is a little bit tricky. Make sure to save the original file Feuerland_data.ini, becaus the TE overwrite it with a useless old version, which not really work in SF2 world. The https://combatace.com/files/file/6492-terrain-editor-2-versions/ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ II. INSTALLATION: To run this terrain you need SF2NorthAtlantic and SF2 Israel or SF2 Europe or SF2 Vietnam. Unzip the folders Objects and Terrains into your saved game folder ...ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2XXXX Thats it. If you have SF2Europe installed you must do nothing more. If you miss SF2E and have SF2Israel you must open file Feuerland.ini with Notepad editor and look for the lines: //CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat change the entry into: CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat //CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat If you have SF2Vietnam, but no SF2 Europe then open Feuerland.ini with Notepad editor and look for the lines //CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat change the entry ino: CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat //CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat save the file ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ III. Credits. Tileset is basing on IslandNA tileset. I made some new tiles. airfield components are taken from AirfieldDevKit_v1.1 made by Pureblue. Super-Sherman-M51 taken from SF2 tank package, original made by rebel ryder I hope i have not forgotten someone. . ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ IV. This Terrain is Freeware. Commercial use is not allowed.
