View File [Fictional] Lockheed F-19A 'Sniper' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 Lockheed F-19A 'Sniper' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a simple mod of the stock MiG-19S to create a fictional Lockheed F-19A 'Sniper' in service with USN & USMC Aggressor Squadrons in the 1974 to 2003 timeline. BACKSTORY Only during the mid-1980's was it revealed that an unexpected outcome of President Nixon's historic visit to China in 1972 was the purchase of 30 Shenyang J-6 fighters for use as Aggressor aircraft. The aircraft were clandestinely delivered early in 1974 with the US Navy taking 22 aircraft and the US Marine Corps taking the balance of 8 which entered service with VMFT-401 in April 1976. In service, the aircraft were supported by specialist teams from Lockheed and were eventually designated F-19A with the unofficial name of 'Sniper'. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-19A folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-19A folder into your Decals folder. That's it! CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. Special thanks to Stary for the MiG-19S cockpit. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

View File [Fictional] McDonnell Douglas F-4F 'Marineflieger' McDonnell Douglas F-4F 'Marineflieger' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a simple mod of the stock F-4F to create a minimum change maritime strike version of the F-4F in service with the Marineflieger of the West German Bundesmarine in the 1973-1989 timeline. Perhaps with Starfighters falling out of the sky the West German Government enlarged the F-4F purchase and gave the Marineflieger initial deliveries. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-4FM folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-4FM folder into your Decals folder. That's it! For best results, you will need to have the Kormoran air-to-surface missile by ravenclaw_007 in your install. CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. Thanks to sundowner for the superb F-4E templates. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

BAC Lightning F.Mk.54 - Marinefliegergeschwader 1, 1970 The first rumours of an alleged bribery scandal surrounding the purchase of the Lockheed F-104G Starfighter by the West German Government coincided with the ferociously high attrition rate of the Starfighter in Luftwaffe and Marineflieger service. With the end of Lightning production on the near horizon BAC submitted a brochure to the Bonn Government and Marineflieger Officials for a proposed multi-role Lightning based on the F.53 and this proposal was accepted leading to a modest production order for 60 Lightning F.54's which entered service in late 1968 with MFG1 and MFG2 before being retired in 1987.

This was released in 2010 but a revised version is just awaiting approval.

View File [Fictional] Westland Whirlwind Mk.2D Westland Whirlwind Mk.2D for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a simple mod of Veltro2K's Westland Whirlwind to create a fictional "Desert Whirlibomber" in service with No.6 Squadron of the Royal Air Force in the 1941-1944 timeline. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Whirlwind2D folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Whirlwind2D folder into your Decals folder. That's it! Bombs, tanks and sounds are all stock items but you will need to add a WW2 pilot (not supplied). Please note that this older 3D model does have some 'rope' issues that you can remove by turning shadows to FALSE. It's a tricky beast to get off the ground, requiring slow advancement of the throttle and a gentle touch, but is otherwise OK. CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. Big thanks to Veltro2K for the Whirlwind... and so much more! And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
