  2. Yes, by extracting the WeaponData.ini from the ObjectData001 folder. Please note that if you have more than one SF2 game installed then it gives the total list of stock weapons.
  3. I'm almost sure that you can re-download your combo from the original link sent by Third Wire.
  4. This seems similar to the problem you had with my Irish Mirage IIIC. If you've got all four titles merged you really shouldn't have a problem unless as Wrench is suggesting you're using the SF2:I exe to create a very narrowly defined install. The Tu-16 is in SF2:I which probably explains why you can easily create a flyable version from your SF2:I exe (thinks: I must try the Tu-16 sometime).
  5. Why don't you just add the appropriate IDF skin to the Taranis folder and copy and paste the decal.ini from one of the RAF skins?
  6. Cheers! Look out for the upload coming real soon!

  12. Actually I appreciate the large font as I've got very poor eyesight. This is the gardening forum isn't it? Pardon?
  13. Actually they are 5J's:grin: created by just playing around with the stock Mirage 5, stock Mirage 5 skins and stock Nesher decal ini's - now that's what I call "stocks and shares" . I've been reading up on the Mirage recently and (re)discovered the sorry tale of the 50 Mirage 5J's purchased by Israel (they were actually the driving force and launch customer for the simpler 5 series) but then saw them embargoed by De Gaulle just on the eve of the Six-Day War. A fascinating story.
  14. View File [Fictional] AMD/BAC Taranis FGA.1 AMD/BAC Taranis FGA.1 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire Kfir C1 to give a fictional AMD/BAC Taranis FGA.1 fighter-bomber with markings for No.1, No.6 and No.54 squadrons of the Royal Air Force in the late 1960's and 1970's. BACKSTORY The RAF's search for a Hunter replacement took many twists and turns but by 1962 the focus had come back to a more basic and austere fighter-bomber but still with supersonic performance. Dassault had previously proposed the promising Avon-Mirage (first flown in February 1961) to the RAF and had also unsuccessfully offered it to both Australia and Switzerland but by 1963 Rolls-Royce and SNECMA were offering their outstanding Sequanna turbofan to Dassault with the potential for 12,000lbs of dry thrust and 18,000lbs with reheat. However it was not until the cancellation of the TSR.2 in April 1965 that BAC and Dassault could formally combine to offer a version of the Mirage IV delta-winged bomber to the RAF and also the proposed Mirage 'Angleterre' fighter-bomber, both powered by the Sequanna and both immediately accepted by the UK Labour government with a formal order issued in 1965. BAC's involvement was clearly politcal (and initially confined to the production of the UK versions of both aircraft) the BAC Warton team threw themselves into both projects being just grateful to actually have something on the assembly line after the Lightning. Whilst based on the proposed Mirage V (to meet an Israeli requirement for a simplied Mirage III) the Sequanna powered version of the Mirage required slightly larger intakes and also an additional air inlet installed at the base of the vertical stabilizer for additional cooling air needed for the SNECMA designed afterburner. In June 1965 the 'Taranis' name was bestowed upon the aircraft and development moved swiftly during 1965 and 1966 culminating with René Bigand flying the first prototype from Istres in early December 1966 whilst the second prototype flew from Warton in the following March flown by Roland Beamont. The Taranis entered service with EC 1/2 'Cigognes' Armée de l'Air in August 1968 and with No.1 Squadron of the Royal Air Force in January 1969. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the TARANIS_FGA1 folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the TARANIS_FGA1 folder into your Decals folder. That's it!
