View File SF2 F-16A Block 1 (TMF) Pack SF2 F-16A Block 1 (TMF) Pack 6/28/2024 -For SF2, Any and All-(SF2:I Required, Full 5 Merged Suggested) - Another 1stGen Salvage Operation - This is a rebuild of TMF's F-16A Block 1 Fighting Falcon. This is =JUST= the block 1, with its short life span (78-90, including exported/European built versions). Having SF2:I is required, as this mod makes use of the Netz's destroyed model. This mod is set up and labeled to cause =NO= conflicts with the myriad of F-16 mods, both based off the Third Wire Netz or any add-on Vipers. Skins remain in their original bmp format, in their original size and resolution. Most markings are decals, with the exception of some painted on national markings. Decal Randomization is TRUE. Each skin is provided with 24 historically correct serial number decals (for the A block 1). All necessary items are provided; drop tanks. decals, pilots, sounds, and so forth. Weapons used are all stock in-game items. If I missed anything, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed. Please read the "Notes" for how to select the alternative STRIKE loadout. The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The refueling door operates with the Shift/1 (one) keystroke. This also makes use of the expanded RWR listings, and hopefully I've gotten all them tgas together. The aircraft is supplied with 3 skins for the original "starting" Air Force users: USAF: 16th TFS, 388th TFW Belgian Air Force: No.359 Squadron (<1979) Netherlands Air Force (KLU) No.322 Squadron (<1980) Those squadrons in the stock 3W squadronlist.ini (BAF & KLU) have their displayed name activated via either my (patent pending) fake SqTail decal, or a squadron badge decal, or both. When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see: F-16A Blk 1 Fighting Falcon (TMF) So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. This will also differentialize THIS one from the many other Falcon mods zipping around, including the stock 3W one. As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. The original readme is included. The 'Change Log' is, of course, in the Notes section below. Good Hunting & Happy Landings!

I'm pretty sure I saw that movie on the Sci-Fi channel!!!!

why does that look like Baja California???

far as I know, and remember from 1stGEns -and carried over to SF2-, you have to have the button held down

Just your basic, garden variety F-16

basicly, it's just a simple matter of editing the decals ini to add the dhimari insignia. you will, of course, have to have a seperate skin folder for the textures, decals and textureset inis.

somwhere's after 600-ish (both solids and alphas) they stop showing. at least, that's what I've seen with the 3w terrain editor. I haven't used Mue's editor yet. edit: checking some tod inis in several of my TE inistall, I found one with 690 objects (combined). I know that one works

This mod is set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Super Mystere Saar available from within the game (Third Wire) or any mods of the stock bird that may exist. Skins remain in their original bmp format. Most markings are decals, with the exception of the orange colored ID bands on one of the IDF skins. Decal Randomization is TRUE. All necessary items are provided, decals, weapons, pilots, sounds, and so forth. Some you've probably got already. If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed. The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero). The cockpit provided is one of Stary's superb works, and can also be used on the stock 3W version of the Saar (as for some reason, "out of the box" it's not player flyable). The aircraft is supplied with a number skins for the varying Air Forces: Israel: No.105 Sqdn "The Scorpion" (3-tone) No.105 Sqdn (3-tone w/ID trangles <10/73) Honduras: IDF 3-tone (as delivered in 1976) Camo 2, Late (2-tone greys <1985) As indicated above, you can see the the SF2 "date switch" is active. When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see: Saar (EG) So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. This will also differentialize THIS one from the 3W Super Mystere Saar that's stock in game. The "EG" of course, is for EricGen. As always fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. All original readmes, when discoverable, are included.

Might look a little familiar to some folks (it did to me!!) This is a very good channel for all kinds of space what if stuff'

Both for Comrade Trotski:

Moved to proper forum.

so does the c-119. and they're call "tail booms"

Use enough dynamite, there Butch???

block numbering goes all the way back to WW2; AAF birds most def!!! (P-47D-20, P-51D-10, P-38J-5, etc). Oddly, I don't remember anything about USN birds of the period, just the sub-number (SBD-5, F6F-5N, SB2C-4, etc)

they all install 'together'. meaning, there's a group of core files that all use. You create the seperate games via each exe. That creates the individual mods folders, where one can install era and location specific items. If you want the IDF campaigns, you'll need SF2:I, as it already has (at least?) 4 campaigns, and all the necessary items. not the least of which is the IsrealME terrain

I REALLY like how much clearer and sharper that is!! can this 'fix' be used on any aircraft with GM?? With both avionics60 and avionics70???

We don't discuss their "stuff" here.

View File SF2 Mystere 4A (AJ) Pack SF2 Mystere 4A (AJ) Pack 5/31/2024 -For SF2, Any and All-(Full 5 Merged Suggested ) -Another 1stGen Salvage Operation- This is a rebuild of Ajundair's 1st Gen Dassault Mystere IVA, as used by the French, Israeli and Indian Air forces from the 1950s through the 1970s. As this mod references a stock cockpit, SF2:I and/or SF2:E are REQUIRED (or a full 5 Merged, of course!). This mod is set up and labeled to cause NO conflicts with the Mystere IVA available from within the game (Third Wire) or any mods of the stock bird that may exist. Skins remain in their original bmp format. Most markings are decals, with the exception of the fuselage color bands on some of the NMF skins. Decal Randomization is TRUE. All necessary items are provided, decals, weapons, pilots, sounds, and so forth. Some you've probably got already. If I missed any, PLEASE let me know and I'll get it fixed. The canopy operates with the Standard Animations Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero) The aircraft is supplied with a number skins for the varying Air Forces: France: EC 1/5 Vendee (<1955) EC 2/8 Languedoc (61-82) - both in NMF Israel: No.101 Sqnd "First Fighter" (<1955 NMF) No.101 Sqdn "First Fighter" (NMF, w/Red Stripe <58) No.116 Sqdn "Flying Wing" (Blue/Brown Camo <61) No.116 Sqdn "Flying Wing" (3-tone <69) India: "Indian Silver" (standard NMF <1957) As indicated, the SF2 "date switch" is active. The IDF/AF 2-tone is a brand new skin, as it had never been created for the original release (2004-ish) The IDF/AF 3-tone late camo is a "rebuilt" skin, as the original had the wrong colors. All other skins have had a least some minor repainting. The Indian AF skin does =NOT= break the serials down into their respective squadrons, nor are there any squadron 'nose art' badges. Consider them generic in nature, although the serials are ALL historically correct. When in-game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop down you'll see: Mystere IVA (AJ) So you can't mistake it for anything other than what it is. This will also diferentiate THIS one from the 3W Mysetere IVA that's stock in game. This includes NOT conflicting with the superb skin/ini pack that PauloPanz did some year back (reccomended!!!!). As stated above, this mod makes use of the STOCK 3rd Wire cockpit from it's MyIVA, but I've left in the originial F-86 cockpit (with some mods) and it's inis from 2004. It's also been updated to add any missing bits. The template I made is also included. It's "medium rez", in 1024x. Make of it what you will.
