VF-92 Silverkings (1968)
VF-96 Fighting Falcons (1968), both embarked aboard USS ENTERPRISE during the Vietnam War
All 3 skins are new builds, from Sundowner's excellent template. The skins are in jpg format. Almost all decals from the original Mytai pack have been reused, with some modifications on the Modex number decals.
Decal randomization has been set to "TRUE". Included are the data and loadout inis for both aircraft, with some small changes in the loadouts. The data inis now incorporate manually operating (meaning: you, the player can now) wingfold and canopy operation. Both use the Standard Animations Keystrokes (tm), Shift/9 for wings and Shift/0 (zero) for the canopy. 
Also included, is all of Mytai's original research material that came with the 1stGen Package. This inlcudes photos and other text files.

SF2:I Vautour IIN Upgrade Pack              11/27/2017
= For SF2:I (or Any & All, Full-5 Merged Prefered) =
Extensive modifications and upgrades to Veltro2k's S.O.4050 Vautour IIN Night/All Weather fighter-bomber as used by the IDF/AF. As seen on the CombatAce message boards, a major revamp adds 2 skins for ealy service in the IDF/AF.
This mod is designed to replace all other versions, in toto, of the Vautour IIN. This package contains the full, entire aircraft. 
Many modification have been performed, and all are listed in the "Notes" section of this readme. Loadouts have been adjusted, as have several other important statements in the data ini. All weapons used are stock 3W items, meaning they still use the UK bombs. End Users (tm) that wish to swap out to the various French bombs available in weapons packs may do. Be advised, I did =NOT= test with those, so their attachment positions -may- not match.
All new, historical "plane-in-squadron/serial numbers" for IDF usage. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. However, due to the low number of aircraft (6-7) the randomization (for some reason) seems not to be working.
Even though there isn't another Vautour IIN, I've added a statement to the "displayed name", so it now reads:
Vautour IIN (V2K)
This is just one of my usual "things", when more than one of the type exists.

= For SF2 (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED) =
This package contains a new skin for Veltro2k's Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon naval patrol bomber. This
skin/decal set represents the 18 as used by the Royal Netherlands Naval Air Service

Also included is the updated (and a backup copy) of the data ini for those that have not updated
their WW2 versions. If you've done so, you need not install these 2 files (they're the same as
in the update pack, so no harm will come if you do).
You will still need the aircraft itself, available at the following URL:

As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest of

-- Something for the WW2 PTO players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
**Note: Having SF2I Expansion Pak 1 is HIGHLY reccomended, as a few of the destroyed models referenced reach over to the stock destroyed C-47A. If you do =NOT= have Exp1, you will NOT have the burning wreck on the ground. You will have to locate some other destroyed model for use. Also, due to modifications to various inis, this mod will probably -NOT- work in 06 level 1stGen game installs. 08 Level 1stGens may have some issues, but this has not/cannot be tested by me.**
 
This is a reissue of Veltro2K's B-26 Marauder Medium Bomber. It has been reskinned/redecaled and had some tweeking done. This mod ONLY represents Marauders used in the PTO, specificly, in the SoWesPac region (read: New Guinea). It's "representative" of B-26A's used - see Notes below for more information.
 
This unit represented herein is...
 
2nd BS, 22nd BG, circa March 1942 through 1943 (before star-and-bar), in OD/Grey (as operated from Australia and New Guinea)
 
The skin are in jpg format, and have been remade from a new Home Grown ™ 'partial template'. All new, 100% historically accurate serial numbers were created for this squadron. There ARE nose arts for ths aircraf, but they are 'speculative' at best as I could find almost NO references what what they looked like (see Notes for more info). Decal randomization is set to TRUE. Like the ETO version, new DDS format damage textures are included.
 
It should be noted, do =NOT= use this mod in a ETO or MTO-centric mods folder; these Pacific Marauders are different!!!!
 
Engine sounds, pilot figures, a Brand NEW Theatre-specific Hangar screen (in SF2 jpg format) are included. Bombs and guns (and the Mk.13 torpedo!) are not; you should have them already. Operational service dates are rounded to 'whole months'.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for the change list, and other important notations. Also, the Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases (and tweeked them for PTO usage), it's advised you delete the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is desinged to replace them in total.
 
**This aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. The source files have been lost, and there can and WILL be no modifications to the physical model. It 'is as they is' and you must accept it with this caveat in mind. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**

SF2 WW2 ETO B-26B/G Marauder Pak
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
**Note: Having SF2I Expansion Pak 1 is HIGHLY reccomended, as the destroyed model referenced reach over to the stock destroyed C-47A. If you do =NOT= have Exp1, you will NOT have the burning wreck on the ground. You will have to locate some other destroyed model for use. Also, due to modifications to various inis, this mod will probably -NOT- work in 06 level 1stGen game installs. 08 Level 1stGens may have some issues, but this has not/cannot be tested by me.**
 
This is a reissue of Veltro2K's B-26 Marauder Medium Bomber. It has been reskinned/redecaled and had some tweeking done. This mod ONLY represents Marauders used in the ETO. As they are (almost) identical aircraft, your in-game displayed name will read "B-26B/G Marauder"
 
This units represented herein are...
 
449th BS, 322nd BG, circa 1942 upon initial arrival in the ETO (star/circle) in OD/Grey
449th BS, 322nd BG, cir3a 1943 til wars end, with 'star-and-bar' insignia, also in OD/Grey
494th BS, 344th BG, circa 1944 til wars end, in "Natual Metal" (withOUT OD uppers)
 
All skins are in jpg format, and have been remade from a new Home Grown ™ 'partial template'. All new Squadron Codes, plane-in-group and serial number decals were created. The 449th serials ARE historically accurate (90-95%), matched when possible to call letter. The 494th serials are 'generic' in nature, but are actual B-26G serials. All markings are decals, making in easier for skinners to recrate other ETO (or even MTO) units. There are only 2 nose art decals, both on the 449th skins, one for the 1942 and one for the 1943. None of these skins carry D-Day Invasion Stripes.
 
It should be noted, do =NOT= use this mod in a PTO-centric mods folder; the Pacific Marauders are different, and will covered in another, theatre-specific upload.
 
Engine sounds, pilot figures, BRAND new Hangar and Loading screens (in SF2 jpg format) are include. Bombs and guns are not; you should have them already. A user list is included. Operational service dates are rounded to 'whole months'.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for the change list, and other important notations. Also, the Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, it's advised you delete the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is desinged to replace them in total..
 
**These aircraft herein is released in "AS IS" Condition. The source files have been lost, and there can and WILL be no modifications to the physical model. It 'is they is' and you must accept them with this caveat in mind. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**

SF2 WW2 ETO P-47D-40 (Late) Pak 7/23/2017
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
The package represents late model P-47D (bubble top) Thunderbolts as used by the 9th Air Force in the European Theatre of Operations. It represents the -40 version with the additional fin fillet (which can and was also retrofitted to earlier marks). This aircraft is also equipped with "compressibility flaps", that first appeared on the D-30 block
This is a brand NEW version, and can be used to replace any earlier mods of this block, or as a replacement for those "no longer available" for download by everyone.
 
This is a complete aircraft package, and contains all the items necessary. The Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0 (zero) is used to open and close the canopy. The "compressibility flaps" operate with the standard 'airbrakes' key (as that's kind of what they are, sort of).
 
2 skins are included, both for 9th AF squadrons:
 
22nd FS, 36th FG (post 6/44, Invasion stripes on bottom only) 3T squadron code
 
394th FS, 367nd FG (post 1/45) 4N squadron code
 
The SF2 "date switch" is used on the 394th skin, and will automatically be selected from January 1945. Users that do not wish this feature, can easily disable it in the Textureset.ini.
 
Both aircraft are in Natural Metal finish, excepting for any squadron color designators, which are painted on. All markings are decals; a pool of serials and 'plane-in-squadron' letters are used on both skins, with decals for the squadron ID numbers/letters. The serial numbers, while correct for this model (D-40) should be considered 'generic' in nature, not representing specific aircraft or units. There are no nose arts. Decal randomization is TRUE.
 
When in-game, you'll see
 
P-47D-30/40 Thunderbolt (CAF)
 
on the aircraft selection drop down screen. This diferentiates it from any other Thunderbolts of these block numbers you may (or may not) have.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
 
Good Hunting!!

SF2 WW2 MTO Spitfire Mk.V Trop 352 Squadron (Yugoslavia) by Cocas & Co 7/23/2017
 
-- Something for the Med players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*This mod will NOT work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level. Don't even bother trying.
 
Note : This mod represents Mk.V Trops used by the Balkans Air Force, specificly RAF No. 352 (Yugoslavia) Squadron. Even though the entire squadron was composed of Yugoslavian nationals, I've left it under the "RAF" nation tag. These do have a specific "time frame" for operation.
 
This is a full, complete aircraft mod for use in the MTO. All necessary items are included. Even though we lack a WW2 Balkans terrains, I thought it would be interesting to have "something a bit different" than all the usual Spitfire users.
 
In breaking with my usual tradition, the wing roundels and fin flash are painted on. All other marking (fuselage insignia, serial numbers, "plane in squadron" letters and nose art are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE. Serials/ID letters and nose arts are 100% historiclly correct, and are matched to their proper aircraft. Unfortunately, I could only find information on 10 aircraft, so that is what you're getting. The aircraft is finished in standard Euro camo, not MTO desert (profiles/photos corroborate this).
 
The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0. Guns are also grouped, MGs in Group 1, the cannon in Group 2.
Many other changes, mostly to minor adjustments have been performed. See "Notes" section for change list.
 
When in game, you'll see:
 
Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop Y (CAF)
 
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate =THIS= Spitfire from any other RAF Mk.Vs you may (or may not) have. The "Y" designates it for "Partisan Air Force".
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
 
Good Hunting!

XvT/BoP Imperial Operation: Consolidation 5/3/2017
 

This is the 15th set of a total of 20 mission sets/TODs that cover the time from just before the Battle of Yavin, to after the Fall of the Empire.
 
These are to be used/placed into your ...Balance of Power/Combat folder.
 
In this set the Loyalist forces, under the Secret Order, have established a base in the Delya system, out of sight of prying eyes. Here, they hope to consolidate what they have collected, and establish themselves as a safe haven for Imperials fleeing the New Republic. Your task is to maintain the security of the system, and that of nearby 'buffer zones' to keep Alliance forces away from the civilian population. It will not be an easy task.
 
All missions have been edited for fairness & balance (hopefully!), due the the enhanced AI and weapons effectivness in XvT/BoP. All have new briefings and descriptions. I've added LOTS of radio messages to act as "in game hints" and to further plot lines. Please pay attention to them, as some may save your life or your mission critcal craft.
Also, when possible, other craft in the mission can be selected for Player use, or for multi-player.
 
As always, =PLEASE= read the install instructions. Of course, the usual "Notes" and other nonesense.
 
Please note that this mission set =WILL= require one or another of the available Ship/Craft Patchs.

The Empire has fallen!

What the future holds for those loyal to The Empire, is not knowable at this time.
