            About The Mirage Factory Rebuilt
Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in
use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009.
But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original
modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were
just hopeful wishes over a decade ago.
    The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced
with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is jsut standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today
and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him.    
on behalf of The Mirage Factory (original and rebuilt) I thank you for downloading this mod, and hope you enjoy it.

            About The Mirage Factory Rebuilt
 Back in the early days of Wings Over series modding The Mirage Factory, lead by bpao was the peak of modding excellence. Many of their models are still heavily in use today, 15 years later and still amongst the very best. This despite the team not creating any new mods since the passing of Oliver Anguille in 2009.
 But time does move on, and the next generation of modders have ideas, techniques and tools not available back then. With the help of some of the original modellers (who have copies of the original max files) we can update these fine aircraft for the 2020s. Rebuilt for new terrains and campaigns that were just hopeful wishes over a decade ago.
  The Mirage in the logo is camoflaged, much like the real aircraft in later service. The "HD" has been replaced with "Rebuilt" as what was HD in the 2010s is jsut standard today. Finally, the new logo thanks Oli, both for the aircraft that are still relevant today and for the inspiration he's given to the modders that followed him.    
on behalf of The Mirage Factory (original and rebuilt) I thank you for downloading this mod, and hope you enjoy it.

                                  Hogs in Reserve: A-10A in Air Force Reserve Service, 1990s
This is a skin and decal mod to bring the A-10s of the US Air Force Reserves throughout the 1990s to SF2
It features skins for both the European 1 green skins as well as the Grey Compass Ghost scheme that the Hogs settled into as the 90s progressed.
Although considered a part time frorce, the AFRES hogs were quite busy throughout the 1990s supporting operations in the Balkans and over Northern Iraq. This mod has pinpointed the aircraft of each unit as accurately as possible within each unit
    
Note: the 706th Fighter Squadron is covered from 1996 on, not the aircraft the squadron used in Desert Storm. most of those went to the boneyard shortly after coming home as the squadron converted to F-16s for a few years.

        Included
Skins and decals for 4 AFRES A-10 squadrons: the 45th FS "IN", 47th FS "BD", 303rd FS "KC", and 706th FS "NO" post 1996.

        3rd Wing Moves North
The 3rd Tactical Fighter Wing was slated to leave Clark AB in the Phillipines in 1992. However the eruption of Mt Pinatubo in June 1991 caused a much more rapid departure than planned from the Philippines. The 3rd Wing set up shop at Elmendorf AFB, Alaska in December 1991, taking over from the 21st Wing that had been the host unit.
By January 1994, the 3 Wing had the 19th and 54th Fighter Squadrons operating F-15C and D Eagles, the 90th Fighter Squadron operating the F-15E Strike Eagle, The 517th Airlift Squadron operating the C-130H Hercules and the 962nd Airborne Air Control Squadron operating the E-3A Sentry
This mod sets up everything you need to send the 3rd Wing or any of its elements into battle in the mid 1990s. While primarily focused on the Pacific theater of operations, the 90th Fighter Squadron did participate in Operation Deny Flight in Europe from October 1995 until start of 1996.
        Included
Aircraft: F-15C/D_91, F-15E_92, C-130H3, E-3A  as well as the decals and pilots for these aircraft
Weapons for each aircraft as was available in the mid 1990s
Effects and sounds as needed to support the aircraft

52nd Fighter Wing 1994
This mod brings together all of the aircraft of the 52nd Fightere Wing at Spangdahlem AB, Federal Republic of Germany in 1994. It features historic serials and skins for the era
    Included
A-10A_93, F-16C/D_B50, F-15C/D_91 aircraft
Sounds, effects and decals for all of the above
Assorted Weapons
Special Fuel Tanks to allow selection from different aircraft.
    Installation
unzip, add contents of "2 Mod Folder" to the mod folder of your choice. allow overwrites
NOTE ON SPECIAL TANKS AND MIXED FLIGHTS
I HAVE SET UP A SERIES OF ROCKET/FUEL TANKS (MINUS THE ROCKETS) SO THAT FUEL TANKS OTHER THAN WHAT IS NATIVE TO THE AIRCRAFT CAN BE SELECTED, ALLOWING MIX FLIGHTS OF AIRCRAFT. THE TANKS FOR EACH AIRCRAFT IS IDENTIFIED BY A NUMBER AT FRONT (IE "370 GAL TANK") WHILE THE NON REGULAR ONES HAVE THE AIRCRAFT NAME IN FRONT (IE F-16 370 GAL TANK). THEY WILL APPEAR FOR THE MOST PART AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MENU SCROLL
IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO THIS, IT IS HIGHLY RECCOMENDED THAT YOU SELECT THE F-16C, THEN CHANGE TO THE F-15 OR A-10 IN THE LOADOUT MENU SCREEN ( flightname 1-1 IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE LEAD). THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO USE ALL AVAILABLE WEAPONS, AS THE F-16 CAN CARRY ANYTHING THE A-10 OR F-15 CAN.

_____________________________________   UPDATE 3 Mar 24    _______________________________ ____________________________
                 data inis on F-16s updated based on work by FANATIC MODDER
                 Viper loadouts adjusted to automatically add HTS after 1994

                                    SENTRY '04:  USAF E-3B/C's of the 552nd ACW and PACAF
    Since 1976 the USAF has used the E-3 Sentry to control the air battlespace it finds itself in. Starting in 1995, the E-3 fleet began to recieve the Block 30/35 upgrade. These upgrades improved its communications, navigation, and electronic support equipment over the older versions. The most visible change was the ESM pods on the cheeks, and additional fairings on the chin and rear of the aircraft. These upgrades continued until the entire fleet was completed in fall of 2001.
   This mod represents the E-3B/C fleet at a time of major restructuring, with the 552nd Air Control Wing having reduced to 3 squadrons and the two PACAF squadrons (961st AACS at Kadena and 962nd AACS at Elmendorf) operating 3 of each.
            Included
This mod includes skin for the E-3B aircraft with fake pilot upgrades, skins and decals for all 5 squadrons active in 2004 as well as a 552nd ACW overall skin
            Installation
unzip mod, add contents of "2 Mod Folder" to mod folder of your choice. allow overwrites
            Known Issues
- The Sentry aircraft pull hard to port (left) when taking off. This only occurs when the player is hand flying the aircraft, when  AI or autopilot flies this is not an issue
- The cockpit is not a great match for the aircraft, however SF2 does not support any of their (E-3 or CT-49) original missions as player flyable and they were originally intended to be eye candy. Until we get a 3d modeller that wants to do a new E-3 or even 707 proper pit, this is how it will be.

                                             Gunfighters!             366th Wing, Mountain Home's Mini Air Force in the 1990s
    In the 1990s, CSAF General Merril McPeak had a concept to test; expeditionary wings that had the entire range of capabilities to wage an air campaign. This lead to change for the 366th Fighter Wing, "Gunfighters", as they transitioned from a F-11 fighter unit to a composite wing, with bomber aircraft, tankers, and fighters specializing in air to air, SEAD and interdiction roles.
    The wing participated in several exercises and combat operations throughout the 1990s to validate the composite wing concept. Ultimately, economics of operating so many different aircraft types in one wing and base led to the consolodation of the Wing as a F-15E Strike Eagle unit.
    But, for about a decade, the Gunfighters hosted an entire mini air force, ready for its' nation's call to action. This mod is a tribute to that experiment.
        Installation
This package includes everything you need to get into action. Unzip the mod, ope the "2. Mod Folder", and place contents into your chosen mod folder. Allow overwrites as necessary.

                                                                                      SENTRY:  Aircraft of the NATO E-3A Component
    Since 1983, NATO has operated international squadrons of E-3A Sentrys, commonly referred to as AWACS from Geilenkirchen AB. Registered in Luxembourg due to international law, the NATO AEW&C Force held watch during the final decade of the Cold War, participated in operations over the Balkans and Libya, and assisted with US homeland defense after the attacks on 9/11/01.
    During the late 1990s, the NATO Sentry fleet gained upgrades in line with the USAF's Block 30/35 upgrades. These included distinctive fairings on the aircraft chin, cheek and tail housing ESM equipment. The aircraft retained their original E-3A designations after the upgrades.
    For several years, retired 707 airliners were also operated as trainers to reduce E-3 flying hours and as transports to support NAEWF missions as well as other NATO missions when available. These aircraft were designated CT-49A and operated unti the mid 2010s.
            Included
This mod includes skin for the E-3A, an E-3A_98 aircraft with fake pilot upgrades and CT-49A trainer aircraft, as well as decals and a set of ESM pods for the newer E-3A
            Installation

Bloody Hundreth Tanking into the 90s: 100th ARW skin for the KC=135R
This skinpack is a representation of the 100th Air Refueling Wing at RAF Mildenhall during the 1990s. Tracing its lineage back to the 100th Bomb Group of WW2, the 100th has featured nose arts on its tankers throughout the year, often replicating or paying tribute to nose arts from the original Bloody Hundreth

        Included*
two skins; one 1993 in the Shamu scheme and one 1998 in the AMC grey scheme
decals for both skins including nose arts for all aircraft that had them

    Required
a legal functioning install of any SF2 version
KC-135R aircraft and sounds, found in the download section

    Installation

allow overwrites
fire up game, take off and go pass gas
    Known Issues
-This is meant as eye candy. unfortunately, SF2 doesnt support air to air refueling so the best to be done is set up a recon mission and then park it in an orbit.
-Also, the C-130 cockpit is not too accurate. it is included mainly so that it can be player selected (i had to test it somehow). remember that there is no air to air refueling in game, so these are more eye candy than operational birds

- there are currently no wingtip MPRS pods for these aircraft. Once some have been sourced (via new aircraft model or pod model) they will be added in
-the Agean Ghost is not 100% accurate. there were not very good pics of the wings, plus model quirks meant some patches had to be put on each wing ot allow for color onthe airbrakes (all 4 of which were mapped to the two on the left wing)

Echoes Across the States: KC-135E Stratotanker's First 15 Years
This skinpack is a remod of the TMF KC-135E done years ago. While utilizing the same model, it now features a greatly improved texture set, ini performance enhancements and each of the skins is researched to be as accurate as is possible with current knowledge.

        Included *
two KC-135E versions, (82) and (92)
sixty (yes 60!) skins between the two versions. most Shamu based skins also feature nose arts
Cockpit and ini edits to make player flyable
drogue "weapon", addable in the loadout screens

    Required
a legal functioning install of any SF2 version
    Installation
unzip this mod, then install new mod folder categories to your mod folder (Aircraft to aircraft etc)
allow overwrites
fire up game, take off and go pass gas
    Known Issues
-This is meant as eye candy. unfortunately, SF2 doesnt support air to air refueling so the best to be done is set up a recon mission and then park it in an orbit.
- Also, the C-130 cockpit is not too accurate. it is included mainly so that it can be player selected (i had to test it somehow). remember that there is no air to air refueling in game, so these are more eye candy than operational birds
- dont manuever aggressively. aggressive manuvering will cause a deep stall. its a huge pain to recover from as a player (firewall the throttle, set flaps to landing, yank stick back and hold). any AI wingmen wont make it trying to follow you
