as well as the 76th Fighter Squadron of the 476th Fighter Group

upgraded with the ARN-92 LORAN navigation system, with its distinctive "towel bar" antennae on the spine. The 457th was a primarily LORAN outfit with only a
few regular aircraft while the 704th was more evenly mixed (even removing some of the ARN-92 systems prior to retirement).
            Included
F-4D_78 aircraft folder and F-4D_LORAN_78 complete aircraft
F-4D_78 Skins for both squadrons representing each of the major camo schemes. textures are teh same for both aircraft, but the decals used are different

                                                                52nd Fighter Wing 1994
This mod brings together all of the aircraft of the 52nd Fighter Wing at Spangdahlem AB, Federal Republic of Germany in 1993. It features historic serials and skins for the era
                                       Included
A-10A_93, F-16C/D_B50, F-4G_92 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 F-4G_92
I HAVE BEEN GIVEN PERMISSION FROM ravenclaw_007 TO RELEASE AN EARLIER COPY OF HIS ONGOING F-4G PROJECT. WHEN HE RELEASES HIS FINAL PRODUCT IN THE FUTURE THIS MOD WILL BE UPDATED ACCORDINGLY.
NOTE ON SPECIAL TANKS AND MIXED FLIGHTS
I HAVE SET UP A SERIES OF FUEL TANKS 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-4G 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 ALMOST ANYTHING THE A-10 OR F-4G CAN.

request.

These airframes came from California's 194th FIS, Minnesota's 179th FIS and North Dakota's 178th FIS, all with air defense missions in the United States and all donating F-4D aircraft in the colorful Air Defense Gray paint scheme.

                                                  Wonderful Vipers of Oz: F-16C/Ds in the Kansas Air National Guard
 
This mod represents the F-16C/D Block 25s in the 184th Tactical Fighter Group, Kansas Air National Guard in the early 1990s.The 184th TFG operated three squadrons for over 4 years until conversion to the B-1B Lancer.However, all of the wings aircraft were pooled together with wing common markings. The wing also operated a larger number of D models due to its primary training mission.
            Included
F-16C and D Block 25 aircraft
Weapons, Effects and Sounds
Multiple historic nose door arts
            Required
copy of StrikeFighters 2: Israel for F-16 destroyed model
the F-16C/D Block 25 models found in any of these locations:

    https://combatace.com/files/file/18389-deutschland-86-block-25-f-16cds-introduced-to-usafe-1986/
    
            Installation
unzip "2 mod folder"; place contents in desired mod folder. Allow overwrites if necessary
            MOD NOTE
The F-16C_25 aircraft tends to pitch up rapidly resulting in a tail strike if player does not fly carefully. This problem is noted in several FMs and as far back as the Block 25 in NATO Fighters 5. There is no fix at this time although it is more immersion killer than damaging to the aircraft. Best to keep the nose down until rotation speed (varies by load) then "pop" the aircraft off the runway and climb out.

                                      Deutschland 86: Block 25  F-16C/Ds Introduced to USAFE, 1986
 
This mod represents the F-16C/D Block 25s introduction to service in USAFE, specifically in Germany in the mid 1980s.
The squadrons of the 50th TFW at Hahn AB upgraded from Block 15s to Block 25s during 1986. The two squadrons of the 86th TFW at Ramstein AB swapped out their F-4E Phantom IIs for Block 25s starting at the end of 1985, although they then swapped again for Block 30s towards the end of 1986.
            Included
F-16C and D Block 25 aircraft
Weapons, Effects and Sounds
            Installation
unzip "2 mod folder"; place contents in desired mod folder. Allow overwrites if necessary
            Required
copy of StrikeFighters 2: Israel for F-16 destroyed model
            MOD NOTE
The F-16C_25 aircraft tends to pitch up rapidly resulting in a tail strike if player does not fly carefully. This problem is noted in several FMs and as far back as the Block 25 in NATO Fighters 5. There is no fix at this time although it is more immersion killer than damaging to the aircraft. Best to keep the nose down until rotation speed (varies by load) then "pop" the aircraft off the runway and climb out.
            History Note
In the 526th TFS and 512th TFS skins for the F-16C_B25, the number list features serial numbers that have periods on them. these denote aircraft that could be traced to the 86th TFW, but not to a specific squadron. I utilized my best educated guesses on which squadron had which airframe. As better information comes along i will update as able.

  Sumter County Tactical: F-16C/Ds and RF-4Cs of the 363rd TActical Fighter Wing, 1986
 
This mod represents the 363rd Tactical Fighter Wing in 1986 after its fighter squadrons completed conversion from the A/B mode F-16s to the C/D Block 25 F-16s. The wing was also still operating the RF-4C Phantom II in the 16th TRS, while the 33rd TFS stood up on the Block 25s and the 17th and 19th TFSs converted.
            Included
F-16C and D Block 25 aircraft
RF-4C(75) and (85) aircraft
Weapons for both aircraft
Sounds and Effects for all
            Required
copy of StrikeFighters 2: Israel for F-16 destroyed model
            Installation
unzip "2 mod folder"; place contents in desired mod folder. Allow overwrites if necessary
            NOTE
The F-16C_25 aircraft tends to pitch up rapidly resulting in a tail strike if player does not fly carefully. This problem is noted in several FMs and as far back as the Block 25 in NATO Fighters 5. There is no fix at this time although it is more immersion killer than damaging to the aircraft. Best to keep the nose down until rotation speed (varies by load) then "pop" the aircraft off the runway and climb out.

    Viper Dawn : First USAF F-16A Block 10s (for TW F-16A)
This mod utilizes the stock TW F-16A Netz and previous work to represent the first three operational USAF F-16A wings (not the training wings). Featuring historical serial numbers for each unit, and markings to reflect the eras this is the most accurate skin representation of the early block (1/5/10) F-16s to date. I use the same TW model for all three as the biggest visible difference in the three was the black radome on the Block 1s. I represented this via decal for the appropriate serial numbers and they were all delivered to the 388th TFW in in 1979. Otherwise it would be impossible to distiguish between teh three models in game.
    Included
-  2 363rd TFW skins for the 17th TFS "Owls" and 19th TFS "Gamecocks". Note the 17th would go on to rename as the Hooters after they transitioned to the C/D model F-16
-  4 388th TFW skins, represented these units in operation from the first USAF Vipers in 1979 until their transition to Block 15s in 1983
-  12 474th TFW skins. The 474th operated the Block 10 from late 1980 until the wing was disbanded in late 1989. These dozen skins reflect some of teh marking changes for the three squadrons over nearly a decade of service
-  weapons in use by the early Vipers in the early 1980s, with some ini tweaks by myself
    Required
valid copy of Strike Fighters 2: Israel
    Instructions
unzip, unload contents of "2 Mod folder" into mod folder of your choice. allow overwrites if needed
NOTE: there are two previous F-16A Block 10 mods based on the TW model. this mod is based on them, but with improvement. because they leverage the TW model and are image and ini only, i have kept teh basic inis in this release for your convienence. But it was made much easier to create standing on their shoulders
    ****************NOTE***************
This mod heavily leverages decals that are meant for a Team Viper Block 10 set, and feature decals and number list entries for the B models as well. Due to lack of a TW two seat F-16, these are restricted by ini
however, when a Team Viper Block 10 becomes available, the decal set here will be ready to go speeding up release of this skin set for the new models.
            Credits

                                               Phinal Photos: RF-4C in USAF Service After Desert Storm
                                                                       A TMF Rebuilt project
This mod represents the phinal years of the Photo Phantom n USAF service. It includes a new RF-4C_91 model that features Sidewinder missile capability. While only a couple dozen RF-4Cs were wired for AIM-9 carriage, they served in the Alabama and Nevada Air National Guards while they did. Therefore, I placed the skins for those units in the _91 model's folder
            Required
a functional copy of any Strike Fighters 2 game except for SF2 North Atlantic (the only one without a native F-4 destroyed model)
The aircraft from the TMF Rebuilt RF-4C Late set, available here: https://combatace.com/files/file/18263-late-model-rf-4cs-photo-phantoms-after-vietnam/
(if you already downloaded this then you dont need to do it again)
            Included
3 RF-4C aircraft folders
- RF-4C_85: skins only (12th RS, 173rd RS Nebraska ANG)
- RF-4C_91: new aircraft with several Nevada and Alabama skins, and Sidewinder capability. Photo flash bays restricted to one or the other to make room for this capability, but photo flashes were not used as much in the phinal years.
- RF-4C_ARN_101:  skin (12th RS) and data_ini adjustment (extends years to 1992 from original 1990)
2 decal folders
NOTE: most weapons, pilots, effects and sounds are already included in the original Rebuilt set. only AIM-9s for the _91 are included here

            Credits
-The Mirage Factory        the very original aircraft (see TMF Readme)
-ravenclaw_007               original model, RF-4 pit
-Sundowner                     further modifications to model and pit, effects for new photoflash bombs
-daddyairplanes              skins, tgas, multiple ini edits, creation of 4 distinct aircraft from one model
-guruu                               sounds
-NightshadeP/R             testing. Nightshade often shows me my errors in screenshots he's just sharing for fun, while Menrva helps me with the more technical aspects
-Sundowner, ravenclaw_007,
yakarov79 and daddyairplanes    templates are a mix of layers as contributed by these four. compiled in current form by daddyairplanes
            Special Thanks
  *  to Sundowner for supporting this project. He was kind enough to hand me this ball and let me run with it and even make additional features as I requested them
  *  to ET Brown, Gary Chambers and other members of the 106th Tac Recon Squadron page on Facebook. These Alabama Air Guardsmen veterans helped greatly and the "106th RS 94" skin features the crew chiefs on the nose just as the real aircraft had in the final 6 months.
            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.

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.
