Russ - get them all. One per month and in the order they were released. You'll have more sustained fun and anticipation that way. -

Weapons skins not working
Spinners replied to warthog64's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
>>>INSERT JOKE ABOUT IT NOT BEING ROCKET/MISSILE SCIENCE<<< I don't think there is an AGM-152 in SF2 so can we assume it's an add-on? Where is the skin for it and what is it called? Open up the AGM-152 LOD and see what skin is being called for. -

[Fictional] McDonnell Douglas F-4E 'ADC' USAF
Spinners posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
View File [Fictional] McDonnell Douglas F-4E 'ADC' USAF McDonnell Douglas Phantom F-4E 'ADC' for Strike Fighters 2 This is a simple mod of the stock F-4E_72 to make a fictional interceptor version of the Phantom for service with the USAF in the 1973 to 1998 timeline. 'What if' markings for four ANG squadrons are included; 1. 111th Fighter Interceptor Squadron - Texas ANG 2. 119th Fighter Interceptor Squadron - New Jersey ANG 3. 186th Fighter Interceptor Squadron - Montana ANG 4. 198th Fighter Interceptor Squadron - Puerto Rico ANG BACKSTORY During early 1970 a USAF review of America's air defence assets highlighted the increasing obsolescence of several aircraft including the F-101, F-102 and F-104 and whilst early F-4C Phantoms were trickling down to the ANG units McDonnell Douglas could see an opportunity to sell an optimised 'Air Defense' version of the F-4E to the USAF to swiftly and cost-effectively modernise a large proportion of Aerespace Defense Command. During this time McDonnell Douglas had studied various single-seat or stripped-down versions of the F-4 for the German Air Force but for the USAF they proposed a version of the slatted F-4E with all air-to-ground capability removed, slightly more powerful 'clean burn' J79 engines, simplified air-to-air only radar and the new solid-state AIM-7F Sparrow missile offering longer range with its two-stage rocket motor. By this time the massive production run of the F-4 had meant that the fly-away unit cost for this simplified version of the F-4E made it one of the cheapest Phantoms ever and such was the confidence that the USAF had in McDonnell Douglas that in March 1971 they simply asked for a fixed-price quotation for 300 F-4E 'ADC' aircraft and ordered them in April 1971! First flown in June 1972 the F-4E 'ADC' were delivered in a smart and glossy 'air defense' grey scheme and entered service with the 198th Fighter Interceptor Squadron of the Puerto Rico ANG in February 1973 replacing the F-104C's and F-104D's of that unit. Sadly, eight of the 198th's Phantoms were destroyed in a terrorist attack at Muniz ANGB in January 1981 and the unit operated several 'standard' F-4E's until 'ADC' versions could be allocated to them. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-4E_ADC folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-4E_ADC folder into your Decals folder. That's it! CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

F-104I for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a simple mod of the Third Wire Lockheed Starfighter F-104G to give a fictional F-104I 'Kohav' (Star) of the Israeli Air Force with markings for No.119 squadron - "The Bat Squadron". As this download relies on the stock Third Wire F-104G LODs then you must have SF2:Europe where TK has thoughfully left them for us. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-104I folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-104I folder into your main Decals folder. SKINS/MARKINGS I wanted to capture the look of the early Mirage IIIC's in Israeli service and saw a photograph of a No.119 squadron machine with red/white rudder stripes and a red fin marking and decided to copy that. As there are no hi-res squadron patch images for No.119 squadron I designed by own, I hope you like it! CREDITS Special thanks to guyran for suggesting the Hebrew name of 'Kohav'. And special thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 3 - Dated 17/04/16 -

Well, TK did state that a fictional scenario was on the menu.... -
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that this has happened. A few years ago some British WW1 graves in France were painted with slogans something like, "take your rotting meat home".
