OA-4M Skyhawk by triplethr3at/pappychksix/Fracture = For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = ** The Full-4/5 Merged is a requirement, as the A-7D_78 cockpit is referenced for the Mod (SF2:E??). If you don't have these minimum requirements, you shouldn't download this, as you will not be able to use it.** This is an overhaul of triplethr3at's SF2 USMC OA-4M Skyhawk FAC/Attack aircraft. All the inis have been brought up to the latest (as of July, 2012) standard. Some modifications to the avionics are existant more for 'playability' (meaning: it's far more capable then the Real Life ™ aircraft). Loadouts use all common or garden variety stock 3W weapons. It is set to fly all mission profiles as any other standard Scooter (with the exception of carrier basing). Decal randomizations is implemented, and all skin maps are jpg. The avionics hump, while not fitting quite as nice as I would like, and the 'probe/antenna/blister combo kit' are attached via the Fake Pilot Method ™* New damage textures (dds) and a new SF2-style hangar screen are included. Data ini modifications using the 'Remove Component Trick**' eliminate the shadow tractor beams from the outer pylons as seen on other mods using the TA-4J LOD. The Threat Library also makes use of dtmdragons' extensively expanded list (not included). A userlist is included, even though the aircraft has only one User (USMC). SF2NA style Carrier statements are listed in the Data ini, but commented out; as I was unable to determine if these ever were flown from The Boats. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. More interesting and perhaps vital info there, as well. Triplethr3at's original readme is included for histerical purposes.

F-4E Phantom II, RAAF For SF2 (any and all, Merged or not) This mod creates a 'stand alone' aircraft, using all in-house/in-game stock bits, to recreate the 24 Phantoms used (for a short time) by the RAAF. All new, 100% historically accurate serial number decals have been created for all aircraft. Data ini edits change (essentially) nothing, but nationalizing the aircraft to Australia. A new userlist is incuded -- the only real changes are that I 'cheated' and extended the EndServiceYear to 1980. The canopy is active via an animation key; use shift/0 to open and close it. As the standard, garden variety F-4E (no year suffix!) exists in all versions of the game, this mod should pose no issues whatsoever for those that (for whatever reason) have not merged their SF2 installs. These would be, in Real Life ™, the 1969 Model year Phantoms (hence, they're spurious A69 RAAF coding) You can use this pak in one of two ways: 1) Stand alone aircraft (as designed), or 2) additional skin/decal set for the F-4E. If done as an additional skin, a decals ini just for that has been provided. A new userlist has been created, extending the operational years past what is historical. (Australia is actually listed on the F-4E's userlist, but only for a very few years 70-73). They now are operational from 1970-1980. As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install. Also, as usual, the expected 'Notes and Other Nonesense' comments by me. Good Hunting Down Under! Wrench kevin stein
