  2. [Fictional] General Dynamics F-111A 'Early TAC'

    General Dynamics F-111A 'Early TAC' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
    This is a very simple mod of the superb F-111A by FastCargo to represent a fictional 'earlier timeline' version of the F-111A entering service in 1965 with service years restricted to 1965 to 1967 inclusive.
     
    BACKSTORY
    Perhaps the three technical breakthroughs that came together to make the F-111A (the swing-wing, the afterburning turbofan and solid-state devices) came together just that little bit earlier leading to the corresponding earlier drafting of SOR-183 and the resultant TFX competition thus predating McNamara and the distraction of 'commonality' and the Naval F-111B.
     
    INSTRUCTIONS
    Firstly, please make sure you've got the F-111 SuperVarkPack for the tanks and weapons bay mounted gun. Got it? Good!
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-111A_TAC folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-111A_TAC folder into your Decals folder.
    3. From the SOUNDS folder drag and drop the TF30_DRY AND TF30_WET files into your Sounds folder.
    That's it! 
     
    CREDITS
    As always, big thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.
    Massive thanks to FastCargo for the full and complete F-111 family. The F-111 Super Vark Pack by FastCargo gives comprehensive thanks to everyone who has played a part and his credits include thanks to Norman Knight for the F-111 pit.
    And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

    Gloster F-73C Meteor for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2

    INSTRUCTIONS

  4. [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.

  5. [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.

    This is a simple mod of the stock A-4G (available at the Third Wire Strike Fighters 2 Downloadable Content Store) to create a fictional A-4Ö in service with the Austrian Air Force in the 1980-2010 timeline.

    INSTRUCTIONS

  7. [Fictional] BAC Lightning F.54 - Marineflieger

    BAC Lightning F.54 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (EP2)
    This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire BAC Lightning F.53 to give a fictional Lightning F.54 in service with the Marineflieger (the naval air arm of the Bundesmarine or West German Navy) with markings for Marineflieger MFG 1 and Marineflieger MFG 2.
    You will need Expansion Pack 2.

    BACKSTORY
    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.

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the LightningF54 folder into your main Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the LightningF54 folder into your main Decals folder.
    3. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the AS-30 folder into your main Weapons folder.
    That's it!

  8. [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!

  9. Westland Whirlwind - Desert Camo No.6 Squadron

    This is a fictional Desert Camo scheme for the Westland Whirlwind recently released by Veltro2K with markings for the famous No.6 squadron ('The Flying Can-Openers') of the Royal Air Force. For SFP1/SFG/WOV/WOE/WOI just drop the folder called '6d' into your Whirlwind folder and go and open some cans! For SF2 users things are a bit more tricky but you probably know your way around the different file structure by now. BTW the Whirlwind flies really nicely in SF2 but make sure you've got your throttle to zero before you start!
     
    Anyway, many thanks to Veltro2K for this little gem and also to Syrinx for the template and for the serial number decals - to which I've added another two to make a baker's dozen plus I've knocked up some reasonably authentic squadron codes.

  11. [Fictional] Hawker Hunter F.6 'Red Arrows'

    Hawker Hunter F.6 ' Red Arrows' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
    This is a simple mod of the stock Hawker Hunter F.6 to give my interpretation as to how it might have looked if the famous Red Arrows display team had flown it in the 1960's. I've kept it simple by using a Gnat-esque scheme but I've used white serial numbers instead of blue.

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the HunterF6ra folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the HunterF6ra folder into your Decals folder.
    That's it!
    BTW the mission editor can be used to select all 9 aircraft leaving you to get some formation screenshots taken!

    CREDITS
    As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
    A big thank you to Sundowner for releasing his Hunter tempates to allow ham-fisted amateurs like me to get a bit creative.

  12. [Fictional] Lockheed F-104C 'Getti Tonanti'

    Lockheed F-104C 'Getti Tonanti' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
    This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-104C to create a fictional F-104C of the famous 'Getti Tonanti' aerobatic display team of the Aeronautica Militare who performed at the opening ceremony of the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome. The real 'Getti Tontanti' flew F-84F's in 1960 so this is just my interpretation of how the Starfighter might have looked with those distinctive Olympic Rings coloured tails.
    If you haven't got the F-104C then I'm sure you can hack it to fit the F-104G by changing the skin bitmap names, etc.

    BACKSTORY
    Entering service in February 1958 with the 83rd Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Hamilton AFB, California the F-104A interceptor served only briefly with the USAF Air Defense Command but this was soon followed by the multi-role F-104C which entered service with USAF Tactical Air Command in September 1958 when the 479th Tactical Fighter Wing at George AFB, California began to re-equip with the type. Despite setting a new world altitude record of 103,395 ft (31,515 m) just a few months later in December 1958 the USAF sharply reduced their orders for the F-104 leading Lockheed to urgently seek export orders and they soon gained an export order from the Italian Government in January 1960 for 40 F-104C's for the Aeronautica Militare. 
    With Italy hosting the Olympic Games in the late summer of 1960, the Italian President Giovanni Gronchi personally asked the US President Dwight D. Eisenhower for the earliest possible delivery date as he wanted to use the F-104C's as part of the opening ceremony. Not only did 'Ike' graciously agree but he also authorised the immediate transfer of 10 F-104C's from USAF stocks which were airlifted to Europe during February and March being reassembled at Ramstein Air Base before being flown to Villafranca Air Base by USAF pilots and officially handed over to the 5th Aerobrigata of the Aeronautica Militare. The F-104C's replaced the F-84F Thunderstreaks of the 'Getti Tonanti' aerobatic display team and this elite unit performed a sensational display at both the opening and closing ceremonies of the Games of the XVII Olympiad held in Rome from August 25th to September 11th, 1960.

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-104Cgt folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-104Cgt folder into your main Decals folder.
    That's it! 
    BTW the mission editor can be used to select all 6 aircraft leaving you to get some formation screenshots taken!

  13. Supermarine Attacker FB.1 - Pakistan Air Force

    Supermarine Attacker FB.1 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 
    N.B. Requires 'AttackerA-R0c2' LOD from the SFP1 Dev A-Team website.
    This is a simple mod of the Attacker FB.2 'Beta' hosted at the SFP1 Dev A-Team website to give an Attacker FB.1 of the Pakistan Air Force who were the only export customer for this pioneering but rather pedestrian British aircraft and, indeed, the last export customer for new-build Supermarine aircraft.
    Serial numbers for all 36 Pakistan aircraft (R4000 to R4035) are included and an alternative 'nose' bitmap is included if you prefer not to have the red nose seen on many pictures of this aircraft in service with the Pakistan Air Force.

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the AttackerFB1_PAF folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the AttackerFB1_PAF folder into your Decals folder.
    You must then copy and paste the AttackerA-R0c2 LOD from your existing Attacker into the AttackerFB1_PAF aircraft folder.

    CREDITS
    Thanks to Ralph Pegram who created the FS2004 model and to Capun for the conversion into SFP1.

  19. [Fictional] Douglas A-4D Skyhawk 'USAF'

    Douglas A-4D Skyhawk 'USAF' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
    This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire A-4E to give a fictional USAF A-4D with markings for the 416th Tactical Fighter Squadron ('The Silver Knights') in 1967 although the service years are a more generous 1964 to 1985.

    BACKSTORY
    During the Spring of 1961 the incoming Secretary of Defence Robert S. McNamara left no stone unturned in his search for efficiencies in procurement and operational costs and his attention soon turned to the successful Douglas A4D 'Skyhawk' programme. Douglas had already transformed their 'bantam bomber' by replacing the Curtiss-Wright J65 engine with the Pratt & Whitney J52-P6A engine and the forthcoming A4D-5 (A-4E) version was chosen as the baseline for a minimum-change version for the USAF. Designated A-4D (after the introduction of the tri-service 
    designation system) the USAF Skyhawks saw extensive service at home and abroad and, in particular, served with distinction in Vietnam where they replaced a variety of tactical aircraft.

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the A-4D folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the A-4D folder into your main Decals folder.
    That's it!

  20. [Fictional] North American F-100G Super Sabre

    This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-100D to create a fictional F-100G for extended service with ANG units into the 1980's. Two units are included;
    The 125th TFS of the Oklahoma ANG.
    The 131st TFS of the Massachusetts ANG.
    Both units are dressed in a 'Euro One' style scheme on the upper surfaces only and with toned down national markings, codes and serials using late model F-100D serials. An additional stock T.O. 1-1-4 Camo skin for the 125th TFS is included in case they get deployed to Dhimar...

    BACKSTORY
    President James Earl 'Jimmy' Carter started his presidency in January 1977 with a detailed review of the US military budget and his most high-profile decision was the cancellation of the Rockwell B-1A bomber programme in June 1977. But many smaller programmes were cut or cancelled too along with the postponement of the re-equipping of TAC and ANG units with new aircraft types. F-16A and A-10A production was slowed down and many TAC and ANG units were instructed to hold on to their F-100's and F-105's for an indefinate period. In a genuine (but actually insulting) 
    compensatory gesture Rockwell were given a $45million contract to upgrade 90 F-100D's for continued service with the ANG with the aircraft emerging from their Columbus, Ohio plant as F-100G's with refurbished engines, partially re-skinned wings and minor avionics upgrades.
     
    The first unit to receive F-100G's was the 131st Tactical Fighter Squadron based at Barnes Municipal Airport in Westfield, Massachusetts who had been scheduled to convert from the F-100D to A-10A's but instead received F-100G's which served until 1986.

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-100G folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-100G folder into your main Decals folder.
    That's it!

  21. [Fictional] Supermarine Spitfire F.Mk22 'Norway'

    Supermarine Spitfire F.Mk 22 - Royal Norwegian Air Force
    This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire Spitfire F.Mk 22 to give a fictional Norwegian Spitfire F.Mk 22 with markings for the following squadrons;
    No.331 Squadron RNoAF in standard RAF Camo.
    No.332 Squadron RNoAF in NMF/Silver finish.
    No.91 Squadron RAF in standard RAF Camo (not a real world user).
    This mod requires AI Plane Pack 2 and should not conflict with the stock Third Wire Spitfire F.Mk 22.
    I have elected NOT to make this Spitfire F.Mk 22 nation specific for the RNoAF but have kept it as RAF so as to allow other future skins to be dropped in.

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the SpitfireF22 folder into your main Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the SpitfireF22 folder into your main Decals folder.
    At this point it might be a good idea to change the pilot to whatever you've got in your install suitable for the early post-war period.

    CREDITS
    Thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
    Special thanks to Kesselbrut for the Spitfire cockpit (an oldie but goldie).
    And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

  22. [Fictional] Lockheed F-104E Starfighter 'ANG'

    Lockheed F-104E for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
    This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-104G to create a fictional USAF F-104E with markings for;
    112th TFS of the Ohio ANG in a 'Euro One' style scheme.
    162nd TFS of the Ohio ANG in a 'Euro One' style scheme.
    198th TFS of the Puerto Rico ANG in a 'T.O. 1-1-4' style scheme.
    It goes without saying that you must have the F-104G LOD's in your install.

    BACKSTORY
    Whilst, officially, USAF interest in the F-104 programme began to ebb (leading to only 77 F-104C's being built) they kept a watchful eye on Lockheed's progress into transforming the original hot-rod interceptor fighter into a multi-mission tactical fighter for export to selected 'free world' nations. As negotiations with Federal Germany reached a critical phase in 1958 concern was expressed by the Bonn government that Lockheed were attempting to sell an aircraft no longer wanted by it's home nation. Lockheed cleverly took these concerns back to Washington and claimed that lucrative export orders were at jeopardy leading to a token order for a new version of the Starfighter for the USAF.
    Designated F-104E this new version broadly represented a halfway house between the F-104C and the forthcoming F-104G. Only 60 F-104E's were planned to be produced but the success of the F-104C flown by Capt Charles E. Tofferi in the 1962 William Tell tactical weapons meet, against strong competition from F-100 and F-105 pilots, led to continued low-rate production followed by a larger batch of 240 F-104E's making an eventual total of 336. F-104E's were deployed to Vietnam and surviving aircraft were refurbished for ANG use with the type being finally retired in 1988 when the 112th TFS re-equipped with F-16A's. 

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-104E folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-104E folder into your main Decals folder.
    That's it!

  23. [Fictional] Yak-41M 'Freestyle' Ukrainian Armed Forces

    Yakovlev Yak-41M for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
    This is simple mod of Gabilon's Yak-41 'Freestyle' to create a fictional Yak-41M in service with the Ukrainian Naval Aviation and the Ukrainian Air Force. Gabilon created his Yak-41 in 2007 (his first 3D model - Chapeau!) and Fubar512 improved the FM and those improvements are duly incorporated here along with a few modifications by me.
    Three new Ukrainian skins are included;
    1. Ukrainian Naval Aviation in a blue splinter scheme for maritime operations.
    2. Ukrainian Air Force in a 'Flygvapnet' splinter scheme for tactical operations.
    3. Ukrainian Air Force in a modern (boring) grey scheme. 

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Yak-41M folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Yak-41M folder into your main Decals folder.
    3. From the SOUNDS folder drag and drop both the sound files into your main Sounds folder.
    4. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop all four weapons folder into your main Weapons folder.
    That's it!

    CREDITS
    Thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
    Thanks to Gabilon for creating and uploading his Yak-41 back in 2007.
    Thanks to Fubar512 for his FM tweaks.

  24. Harbin H-5 (Chinese Il-28 Beagle)

    Harbin H-5 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
    This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire Il-28 'Beagle' to create the reverse engineered Harbin H-5 copy. As the PLAAF also operated the Il-28 I've set the service dates to match those given for the stock Third Wire Il-28 (for China) but the Chinese H-5 programme was a slow starter
    and it didn't enter service until 1967.
    Generic markings with new serial numbers based on the photo of '83002' with a painted radome are included and please note that this mod uses Wrench's F-4B pit for pasko's Yak-25B 'Brewer' so it should work with any version of SF2 that has medium length runways.

    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the H-5 folder into your Aircraft folder.
    2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the H-5 folder into your main Decals folder.
    3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the PILOT_PLAAF folder into your main Pilots folder.
    That's it!

    CREDITS
    Thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
    Thanks to Wrench for the Brewer cockpit.
    Thanks also to whoever did the excellent PLAAF pilot (let me know and I'll gladly give credit).
    And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
