I don't have a timeline and am not planning to release anything. As much as I like the classic F-86 vs MiG 15 of the KAW, I've always fancied the modern version a la Larry Bond's Red Phoenix, Falcon 4.0 etc. so I thought I'd add some more modern stuff to my StrikeFighters2 Korea install. If you're planning on RF-4 skins then I'm looking forward to whatever you give us. Any chance of an RF-4B for some USMC action? btw I just checked the C5 site and the screenie in the download section has a ZR tailcode, which was for Zweibrücken Air Base (a USAFE facility during the Cold War). The Kadena tailcode is ZZ - which I'm sure you know already! http://www.column5.us/classic/miragef.shtml

DA: I don't think there are any PACAF skins available for the RF-4C, just some USAFE and CONUS based ones, so I'll probably use a stateside based skin. There's also a South Korean one in a 1st Gen skinpack so I might also make a separate nationalised plane for my install.

What do you take me for? A noob or something! - just kidding Soulfreak I've just set up a Korean install which I'm extending up to date and I was going to either convert the 1st Gen plane or pull one from a campaign mod but just wanted to check that there wasn't an SF2 version already. Case closed.

I know that there are some RF-4E & J mods available for German, Greek, Israeli, Japanese etc versions of the recon Phantom but other than those included in the all in one packs (NATO Fighters, ODS etc) there doesn't seem to be stand alone SF2 version of the TMF RF-4C. Is anyone working on one? Thanks

NA - North America? I think he means North Atlantic.

Loving the new Hornets.... Thanks to all the team that made these happen!

Bet the IDF wouldn't mind a few to use for loitering over Gaza right now.

I'm sold! Where do I sign up? - ticks the box marked "Yes! - Please take my bank account details too so I don't miss out on this once in a lifetime chance to help to fund this exciting new project!" - ticks the box marked "Yes! - Please use my bank details to automatically enable the transfer of a 10% share of the profits conservatively estimated at $200,000,000!"

Wrench did these skins for DAT aircraft models. In fact he created full aircraft, but now the DAT will no longer allow models to be uploaded outside their website. I know they were on his website http://wrench1smog.c...nch19.html but I think he has closed the site. Maybe you could ask Wrench to upload just the skins here or see if he could ask Capun to upload the whole aircraft at the DAT site?

Another trilogy and then new movies every 2-3 years? Talk about milking a cash cow! Unless they mess them up really bad I'll still go to see them though. And what JM said about the SW rides at the Disney theme parks is right. Because I went on the ride in Florida back in the 1980s I must admit I thought Lucas had already done the deal with Disney many years ago. btw is the planned SW tv series still on or has it been shelved in favour of new movies? And could we see some Disney produced Indy movies too?

Hmmm, still not getting any Hawkeye in single missions even with navalmap=true and a new style water .bmp I've even put USN as a friendly nation in the Nations.ini and aren't seeing any ships appearing when I select an Israeli plane to fly. So, do I need to create some Israeli ships, and are any types of ships OK or do I need to create an Israeli aircraft carrier?

Tell him he needs to edit the rotor diameter in the data.ini file!

I'm running a fully merged SF2:I install and have a nation specific Israeli E-2C so how come it never shows up on single missions? Do I need to enable the naval map on the IsraelME terrain? Also how do I get other aircraft to operate as an AWACS? Do I just need to give them the same roles as the Hawkeye? I'm thinking of an Iranian F-14 operating in an AEW role in Operation Darius or IranIraq, or maybe enabling Veltro2k's Soviet AWACS birds and his Japanese 767 too.

There's E-3 AWACs birds in the ODS and Operation Darius mods, not sure they're TMF models. Also, of course there's the E-2C Hawkeye included in NA, but that makes it a prerequisite for your mod. Maybe the Baltic states would follow NATO's example and pool their money for an AWACS squadron? Veltro2K made an A-50 Mainstay (still available?) - not likely that the Baltic states would buy any of those though! And you know Marcfighters was making a Brazilian R-99 AWACS - did you ever get a reply from him?

Another DLC just released - F-8K Crusader https://store.thirdwire.com/store_dlc.htm Cheap at only $2.99 of your American dollars.

From my Israeli Air force bible 'Air War on the Edge' by Bill Norton... - The Israelis ordered 6 Hawkeyes in 1976 (Bu 160771 - 774) which were delivered starting in July 1978. - Serials were 941, 942, 944 & 946 and were assigned to 192 Squadron 'Hawkeye' based at Hatzerim. - The Israeli name was 'Daya' (Kite) but was commonly called 'Ayn Ha'Netz' (Hawkeye) - The aircraft left service in 1994. - The USN two tone grey paint (FS36320 & 36375) was retained as were American stencils. - Code numbers were carried on both sides of the nose and the forward nose gear door, although prior to 1982 the codes were not used at all. - The national stars were the 60cm diameter size used for fighters and were carried on both sides of the aft fuselage and on the upper left wing and lower right wing. - The 192 Squadron badge was displayed on both sides of the forward fuselage, just behind and below the cockpit glass. Hope that helps.

Just USN and Japan in the skin pack, unless there's been an update since I downloaded it. On my phone now so I'll have to check in the morning.

Just wondering if there's an Israeli skin out there somewhere for the TW Hawkeye. Would be a useful addition for the Lebanon '82 campaign and beyond.

In the Operation Darius mod for SF2 there's an Iranian Mirage F-1EQ.

Trotti also did "Marine Air - First To Fight" with photos by George Hall in 1986. I pulled my old copy off the shelf and there aren't as many photos as I remember but what there is are great. The book looks at all the then current USMC aircraft in turn including the F-4 and RF-4 and gives little mission scenarios that wouldn't look out of place in a Strike Fighters install. You could also try Googling George Hall to see of he has a website or online gallery.

If Egypt went Islamic as a result of the Arab Spring going awry you could also use the Mirage 2000, F-16, MiG 21 (with orange panels) aircraft/skins available in the downloads section for red force.

Thanks for the info Eric. Looking forward to the update and anything else you release, whenever they may be.

Re-installed this over the weekend and am having a blast! I forgot just how good this essential mod is - thanks Eric. Are there any plans to update this to take advantage of the SF2:NA features like single mission carrier ops and stock E-2C and EA-6B? Maybe include Homefries' A-6A & B and EA-6B mods?

The YAP team managed to simulate AAR ingame and I think Column5 cracked how they did it. I don't know if TK ever commented on it.
