As MS no longer supports CFS3, these update patches are difficult to find. They are essential for all but the latest releases of CFS3, as they add the possibility of 4-engined aircraft and level bombers.
 
The files are suitable for both English and French language versions.
 
The Mission Builder is included, as are full instructions about how best to set up a working install.

F-86F-30 Sabre, No.2 Squadron, South African Air Force, Korea, 1953.
 
No.2 Squadron "The Flying Cheetahs" served throughtout the Korean War, attached to the USAF 18th Fighter-Bomber Wing. Intially flying F-51D Mustangs, they were converted onto Sabres in January 1953.
 
This is a rebadged stand-alone of the F-86F-30 Sabre contained in the package put together by USAFMTL, David Zurawski, Jimmy Bib, Fubar 512 and Tazkiller; please read the enclosed "Original Read Me" for details of credits. My only contribution involves decalling, some nationality tweaking and hangar/loading screens.

I didn't merge my installs - and I won't be the only one. That leaves us with the difficult problem of working out which desktop icon points at which install...
 
This should help. There's a different icon for each version of SF2 - SF2, SF2E, SF2V and SF2I.
 
Should be fairly obvious which is for which! ;-)

Fiat G-91 R4 Gina Mk1, No.2 Squadron Rhodesian Air Force, Thornhill Air Force Base, Rhodesia, early 1980s.
 
Now imagine that Ian Smith had won the internal settlement elections in April 1979, and that the Lancaster House Agreements
never took place. Instead of the South African volte-face which did take place in reality, South Africa's John Vorster
maintained the oil supply to Rhodesia, and increased South African military aid. Rhodesia continued to fight for its survival...
 
Despite the leftist revolution in Portugal in 1974, new aircraft were made available in the shape of 16 ex-Portuguese Air Force
Ginas from stocks left in Mozambique. With a bit of tricky under-the-table dealing to circumvent the UN arms embargo and outwit
the current left-wing government of Portugal, these aircraft were brought on strength in 1980 with No2 Sqn RhAF to replace their
ageing DH Vampires.
 
And Robert Mugabe, in the real world Africa's worst dictator since Idi Amin, never came to power.
 
Thanks go to Erikgen for the aircraft, RussoUK and Zurawski for the cockpit, and Jeremiah Weed for the concept.

Bf109g-10/U4, 2./JG 300, Borkheide, September 1944.
 
JG 300 was originally created in July 1943 as a Wilde Sau free-range night-fighter Geschwader, but owing to the high accident rate and the relative lack of success, was
transferred at the very beginning of 1944 to daylight operations.

HAWKER HUNTER GA.11, Fleet Requirements and Air Direction Unit, Fleet Air Arm, Royal Navy, RNAS Yeovilton, 1970s
 
Stand-alone aircraft for SF2 (all variants) only
 
Contrary to popular belief, the Royal Navy fielded a number of squadrons of Hunters, primarily for training and second line duties, although these were also "mission-capable" if the need had arisen. FRADU was the last FAA unit to use the Hunter.

Bf109g-6AS, JG 1, Germany, Early 1945.
 
In April 1944, JG 1 became the first unit to be equipped with the new Bf109g-5/AS and -6/AS with its uprated DB605AS engine. This entailed the introduction of a new streamlined cowling, compared to the original bulged model used on standard G-5 and G-6 aircraft. As the AS series were intended for high altitude operations, the initial production run were finished in overall RLM 76 pale blue-grey.
 
Jagdgeschwader 1 was based in Northern Germany on Reich Defence duties (Stab was based at Paderborn) and was commanded at this time by Oberstleutnant Walter 'Gulle' Oesau, whose Green 13 is included in this pack. He was killed on 11th May 1944 over St Vith by P-38s of the USAAF.
 
You will need the AvHistory Guns pack installed.

Bf109g-10/U4, I./JG 11, Germany, Early 1945.
 
By this date, JG 11 was equipped essentially with Bf109g-10 and g-14 aircraft.The yellow JG 11 Reich Defence fuselage band should not be confused with the narrower Eastern Front markings. THe yellow rudder should theoretically be accompanied by a yellow band around the nose - the final type of quick recognition markings introduced in early 1945. Needless to say, by this stage, official directives were not always scrupulously respected!
 
Despite the fact that MG151/20 gondolas were rarely if ever fitted to g-10 type 109s, this aircraft has them fitted as standard for all air defence missions.

HAWKER HUNTER FGA.9, Sultan of Oman's Air Force, late 1970s
 
For Strike Fighters 2 Israel

HAWKER HUNTER FGA.9, No.1 Squadron Royal Rhodesian Air Force, Thornhill AFB, Rhodesia, late 1960s
 
The Hawker Hunter FGA.9 was delivered the (then) Royal Rhodesian Air Force in 1962/3 to replace the DH Vampires then in
service with No.1 Squadron. The aircraft wore a number of different camouflage schemes during its twenty-plus years in
service with the Royal Rhodesian Air Force, the UDI-period Rhodesian Air Force and finally, the post-Independence
Air Force of Zimbabwe.
 
Twelve aircraft were delivered, and all are represented in this pack, although three crashed during the 1970s. All twelve are represented here.
 
The Royal Rhodesian Air Force lasted until the establishment of Rhodesia as a Republic in 1970, when the Lion-and-Tusk roundel
was introduced.

The Story so far:
 
2012. The financial crisis has brought the British economy to its knees. Unemployment is rife, and the underlying tensions running through British society have caused massive social and ethnic unrest. Minority groups have rioted violently throughout England, and the Armed Forces have had to intervene to impose stability. Meanwhile, government debt spirals without end as benefits and welfare payments far exceed predicted levels. Scotland and Wales are as usual the hardest-hit parts of the kingdom, and payments to those areas equal those made to the rest of the UK.
 
As a result, English MPs in Westminster vote for the dissolution of the Union. England leaves the United Kingdom, abandoning Wales and Scotland to face the future alone, and Northern Ireland at the mercy of the Republic.
 
Wales and Scotland have no option but to form an alliance against England, to claim back the huge sums of money taken in taxation which should normally have been used to help them out of the crisis. England will not budge. Various smaller groups join the Celtic Alliance; Cornwall secedes from England, and the Isle of Man joins some weeks later.
 
Meanwhile, Northern Ireland remains in limbo, caught between Nationalist factions who wish to exploit the possibility of joining the South, and loyalist factions, now cast adrift, who are attempting to preserve their independence from the South, with some under-the-table help from the English...
 
And fighting breaks out, first caused by popular unrest, but rapidly becomes militarised as cross-border skirmishes and air intrusions take place more and more frequently. England attempts to intimidate its neighbours, who still demand the restitution of their monies and citizens, into submission...

Seafire MkIII, French Navy, Carrier 'Arromanches,' 1948

MDD F-4D Phantom II, 110th TFS, 11th TFW, Republic of Korea Air Force, Taegu, from beginning 1969
 
After some hard negotiating during 1968, ROKAF was given 18 F-4D aircraft in return for agreeing to transfer 36 on-loan F-5A/B aircraft (which ROKAF did not greatly appreciate in any case) to RVNAF. These aircraft were used by 110 Tactical Fighter Squadron, and supplemented by further deliveries over the years, remained in service with 110 and 151 TFS, 11th TFW until 2010. They retained their SEA camouflage at least into the 1980s.
 
Serial numbers were simply based on the USAF serials, with the initial '6' removed - so the first aircraft delivered, USAF 64-0931, became ROKAF 40-931 and so forth.
 
To the best of my knowledge, they did not participate in the Vietnam War, although given the Republic of Korea's considerable contribution to supporting South Vietnam, it is a reasonable what-if...

F-104A, Pakistani Air Force for SF2
 
This will work only if you have installed DLC No. 28 AI Aircraft Pack 1, including the F-104A Starfighter. Without this pack installed, you will not have the necessary model files.
 
Serials include the 12 F-104A aircraft supplied to the PAF, a further 9 loaned by the Royal Jordanian Air Force, and finally two F-104B aircraft of the PAF.

FIXED VERSION - MISSING PYLON ADDED - APOLOGIES TO ALL CONCERNED!
 
Rhodesian Air Force Hawker Hunter FGA.9 as modified by the South African Air Force to carry either Sidewinder or V3B "Voorslag" IR missiles. This was carried out at the SAAF's TFDC at Waterkloof in August 1979.
 
http://www.ourstory.com/thread.html?t=305460
 
The main difference between the Rhodesian Hunters and other similarly modified Hunters is the addition of an extra weapons pylon between the two existing ones; most Air Forces simply used the external pylon.
 
At least two aircraft were modified this way. It is unclear what happened to them after Independence.
 
Credits go to Spinners for converting the stock FGS.9 to flyable, AleDucat for making the indispensable pylon and rail, and Jeremiah Weed for the idea and support. Thanks!

Bf109g-10/U4, JG 53, Kirrlach, February 1945.
 
By this date, JG 53 was equipped essentially with Bf109g-10 and k-4 aircraft, and had been absorbed completely into the Reich Defence organisation. The black fuselage band was attributed on 20/02/1945 in replacement of the earlier rust-red one.

Spitfire MkVb, VCS-7, US Navy, 5th - 26th June 1944.
 
Because of the high vulnerability of the SOC and OS2U spotter aircraft normally carried on board US Navy cruisers and battleships, it was felt that naval artillery spotters during the landings in Normandy would need aircraft better able to defend themselves against German fighters. As a result, 17 pilots were drawn from the cruisers CA 31 Augusta, CA 37 Tuscaloosa, CA 71 Quincy and the battleships BB 33 Arkansas, BB 35 Texas and BB 36 Nevada; they were affected to the Air Spotting Pool, based at RNAS Lee-on-Solent, along with two RAF Spitfire squadrons, Nos. 26 and 63, and four FAA Seafire squadrons, Nos.808, 885, 886 and 897.
 
VCS-7 became operational on 28th May 1944.
 
During operations, all aircraft were pooled, which meant that in fact, any pilot from any of the seven Spitfire/Seafire units could find himself flying any Spitfire or Seafire available, regardless of any theoretical 'ownership'. As a rule, aircraft operated in pairs, one spotting, the other covering.
 
After three weeks of highly successful operations, VCS-7 was stood down on 26th June as the fighting moved beyond the range of the ships' guns.
 
As they were on temporary loan from the RAF, all the aircraft used by VCS-7 retained their RAF markings.

Seafire MkIII, No.887 Naval Air Squadron Fleet Air Arm, HMS Indefatigable, Okinawa, April 1945 - Japanese Coast, August 1945.
 
It is a little known fact that aircraft of the Royal Navy British Pacific Fleet fought at Okinawa and participated in the final air attacks on the Japanese mainland.
 
All serial numbers included in this package correspond to Seafire MkIII aircraft which served with 887 NAS at some point between late 1944 and the end of the War. Where possible, known individual numbers have been allocated to the correct aircraft. These are marked with an asterisk in the loadout menu.
 
Alternative lower resolution (1024x1024) skin files are included.

Spitfire MkIa, No.19 Sqn RAF, Fowlmere, September 1940
 
No.19 Squadron was the first RAF unit to be equipped with the Spitfire, which entered service in August 1938. The squadron was based at the time at Duxford in Cambridgeshire, now famous for its Warbirds. By September 1940, the squadron had been reissued with 8-gun MkIa aircraft after a month-long rather unsuccessful operational trial of the 20mm cannon-armed MkIb.
 
Squadron Leader Brian 'Sandy' Lane led 19 Squadron during the later part of the Battle, flying P9386 'K', recognisable by its yellow ex-OTU spinner. Other noteworthy members include Flt Sgt George 'Grumpy' Unwin, one of the original members of the squadron at the time the Spitfire entered service (X4179 'H'); Sgt Bernard Jennings flying X4474 'I' and Flight Lt Walter 'Farmer' Lawson with X4170.
 
Serial numbers in this pack correspond to aircraft used by 19 Squadron during September 1940, although many of these aircraft were on strength only for some days, for obvious reasons. Where possible, I have tried to ensure that the individual letter and serial number correspond to reality.
 
For use ONLY with SF2 including the Israel Expansion Pack. This will NOT work if you do not have the stock TW Spitfires installed and working.
 
Includes 2048 and 1024 size skin sheets.
