Most of the stock Third Wire campaigns are 20-30 missions long, although one of the Vietnam campaigns (Rolling Thunder 1965-68) is 50 missions. My preference is campaigns of about 20-25 missions - long enough to be interesting, but not so long as to be repetitive.

It actually depends on the aircraft for me, if I'm flying a multirole I increase them to about 50 or so missions since there is variety in them.

If I'm flying an Interceptor (e.g. Tornado F.3), that never gets old, because Swing-Wings are always fun.

Alright, being the resident matchup man of my brain, I thought up of this several times before, so here goes nothing.

Let's start with Dhimar:
Tornado GR.4 (RSAF Variant), simple enough, these boys are on their way out anyways so, yeah.

F-39C/D Ghryfyn - Similar to the "Gripen for Canada" program but including more to replace old F-16s.

F-39E/F Ghryfyn - Same as above.

Typhoon FGR.4 - Replacement for the Tornado, only in limited numbers.

F-20A Tigershark - I CAN DREAM DAMMIT!

IAI Lavi - Would be funny to put the design that basically became the J-10, against the J-10.

Mirage 2000 - [muffled le vie en rose in the distance]

F-16C/D - Old F-16s bought during the F-16s heyday, being replaced by Gripens.

Now onto Paran, which will likely be mixed with the Belt-and-Road initiative.

J-10 Firebird - Considering Iran has been rumored to be buying J-10s, this is basically my way of saying it.

F-14A Tomcat - Likely bought as surplus from Iran.

JF-17 Thunder - Feel the wrath of the SD-10s, also counters the F-20A.

MiG-23/27 Flogger - Various Flogger variants hodgepodged together to create a Frankenflogger similar to the Frankencats of Iran.

Su-27/30 Flanker - Early Su-30s and many Su-27s, acquired during the Cold War.

MiG-21BiS - Many third-world nations still have MiG-21s, these'll be FrankenMiGs with parts from donated J-7s.

Dhimar would be supported by a US alliance including but not limited to:

USAF - F-15C, F-15E, F-16C, F-22A, F-35A, B-52, B-1, B-2

USMC - F/A-18A, F/A-18C, AV-8B+, F-35B

USN - F/A-18E/F, F-35C

RAF - Typhoon F.3, FGR.4, F-35A

Royal Navy - F-35B

Canada - CF-188A

Australia - F/A-18E

Israel - F-15A/B/C/D Baz 2000, F-15I, F-16C/D Barak 2020, F-16I, F-35I

Paran would be assisted by most of the nations on the belt and road:

China - H-6, JH-7, J-7, J-10, J-11, J-15, J-16, Su-30, Su-35.

Iran - F-14A, F-5E, the Frankentigers, Possibly J-10s

Pakistan - JF-17, F-16C, F-16D, Mirage III, Mirage 5, F-7P/PG.

Just a few thoughts from my brain haha, this took around 20-30 minuts to type up.

I want this scheme but to be textured, I love snazzy colorations.

Just saw the preview video, and I love how you used "my" Tornado menu music setup for this, I use it for my original Desert Storm mod install, and I do like the switch of "We can fly" and the main theme for the menus.

I'll get to flying in this after it goes public, but I'm surprised to be part of it in some way haha.

Wondering what the music is! Really dig it.

Thanks for digging this up and placing on here, might use some songs in some future work!

Thanks! I must thank Damsonn (on youtube) for uploading the actual CD soundtrack and getting me hooked on the OST.

Tonka F.3s over Iraq.

I have way too many splashes in the Mirages, absolutely love em'.

I had to post *a* Phantom at some point, so here's the CF-4E I guess, and if that doesn't work, here have a VF-84 Phantom.

F-5Z and X-29Z from Lethal Skies II.

basically Mach 3 capable F-5s.

S-47 Berkut from LSII as well.

It's an Su-47 but with a uhh

special twist

I think you should contact Thirdwire then. It is not mod related but game related. And since you bought it at TW, he can provide you the service you require and deserve.
Good luck!

It's actually running better now, everything is fixed, game runs good.

I have NA ready for standalone installation

Download your install files at Thirdwire again, uninstall what Strike Fighters 'broken' install you have and start with a clean slate!
That would be the easiest solution. Good luck!

That is exactly what I did, It's all working now, SF2I is now standalone, while Base, Vietnam and Europe stay where they are, we're all good.

Slight update.

Installed all the other SF2 games except SF2I in another folder, acquired all the aircraft except for the F-4s.

F'ed up my reinstall of SF2, lost a few files, just aircraft textures and inis for the following.

(By the way, it is a oct 2009 merged install)

F-100D (all variants)

A-4 (All variants except the B, not the B(65), however.)

F-4 (all variants except the F and M).

I have everything else, seems the files got misplaced and I can't bother to find them, all other files are there.

just need textures and files for the aircraft, and the game should run fine, thanks. 

Saved games folder.
