    North American F-100D 'Shavit' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-100D to give a fictional F-100D 'Shavit' (Comet) of the Israeli Air Force with markings for; 117 squadron - 'The First Jet Squadron' in a natural metal scheme. 253 squadron - 'The Negev Squadron' in a USAF SEA scheme (as transferred from USAF stocks in October 1973). This should work in any SF2 game featuring the stock Third Wire F-100D but has only been tested in a merged install of SF2/SF2V/SF2E/SF2I. BACKSTORY Despite a very smooth test and development phase North American Aviation's superb F-107 unexpectedly lost out to Republic Aviation's F-105 Thunderchief in the competition for a new supersonic fighter-bomber for TAC. By early 1959 the end of the F-100D production line was now in sight and with the F-108 and B-70 programmes now on the far horizon North American Aviation needed to stretch the F-100 Super Sabre programme out to plug the gap and urgently proposed a variety of F-100 variants to several friendly nations, including Israel, Japan and the United Kingdom. In April 1959 the Israeli government signed for 50 F-100D's and the first of these entered Heyl Ha'Avir service in February 1960 replacing the obsolete Gloster Meteors of 117 Squadron. The 'Shavit' was a popular machine in Heyl Ha'Avir service and served with distinction during the 1967 'Six-Day' war but losses were heavy during the early days of the 1973 'Yom Kippur' war and two small batches of ex-USAF F-100D's were accquired as attrition replacements allowing No.253 squadron to re-equip with the F-100D before finally retiring the type in November 1977. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-100Didf folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-100Didf folder into your Decals folder. That's it! CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. Special thanks to guyran for suggesting the 'Shavit' name. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 3 - January 19th, 2024.
  4. I'm beginning to believe that it really will be SF2:Korea with an approximate 1950 to 1985 timeline and with TK knocking out a superb MiG-15, F-86 Sabre, Mustang and Meteor all of which will find a home in his Suez add-on (or perhaps the Suez add-on will be released first).
  5. Comet above the clouds...
  6. I've had a major re-organisation of my gaming PC tonight so I've only flown a few missions (IDF Mirages in the original Desert terrain) but it's working very nice and this merged install feature with the expanded planeset is so cool. I've noticed some late-model Sidewinder sub-variants but is the flyable Hunter F.6 new or was it in SF2E?
  7. I was going to go 'scorched earth' but impatience got the better of me and I've just installed it in my merged install. No problems! First flight was in the A-4H Ahit/Ayit (73) - sweet!
  8. (Spinners adopts a Meg Ryan voice and runs his fingers through his hair...) Yes, yes, yes, OMG yes, yes, yes, oh, yes

  12. It's meant for SF2 but try this for WOV http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=2729
  13. Lockheed F-104I 'Kohav' - No.119 squadron, Heyl Ha'Avir, June 1982. Bobrock's stunning Italian camo - check it out!
  14. Buccaneer and TSR.2 for me!
  15. Lockheed F-104I 'Kohav' - No.119 squadron, Heyl Ha'Avir, October 1973. Littlesmoke's sweet Canadian CF-104 desert camo pressed into service!
  16. A No.119 Squadron 'Kohav' is awaiting approval.
  17. I wonder if anyone knows whats going on here? I'm getting a strange semi-transparent grey trailing edge on the starboard side of the F-104G's rudder when using a decal placed on both sides of the rudder. Oddly, the port side of the rudder is completely unaffected. I've tried the stock 516x516 silver skin and also bassman's 1024x1024 skin and the problem is the same.
  18. OK. Problem solved by adding Reverse=TRUE on the starboard side, I'm not sure how or why that works but it has.
  19. Lockheed F-104I 'Kohav' of No.106 squadron, Heyl Ha'Avir. Special thanks to guyran for suggesting the name 'Kohav' (star) for this fictional Israeli Zipper.
  20. Lockheed F-104I of No.106 Squadron, Heyl Ha'Avir, 1964.
  21. So many good things came out at the same time that it was slightly overlooked. But it's a great release. Well done Veltro2K and team!
  22. Northrop Nighthawk NF.1 of No.19 Squadron, RAF South Atlantic Command, 1947.
  23. SF2/SF2V/SF2E merged install with WOI terrain and Malvinas terrain added. I just fly single missions in whatever terrain takes my fancy!
  24. @ ultramax - yes that is nice! Eurofighter Typhoon Mk.57 - Royal Dhimari Air Force
  25. Kfir C7 One of the best fighter-bombers in this game!
