  1. USAF A-37B Pack

    A-37B USAF Pack
    This is the current end point for two years worth of work. Centurion-1 began by creating a new model for the Super Tweet, several contributors later we are releasing it to you
     
    Included are decals, new J85 sound, an updated squadronlist.ini, appropriate weapons, and 3 versions of the aircraft.
    - A-37B: the original, as used by the USAF, Air National Guard, and several Latin American air arms. no refuel probe
    - A-37B (76): adds refuel probe, as used by US ANG and USAF Reserve units the second half of the 1970s
    - OA-37B: Final version as in US service, and as currently used by Latin American air arms. With refuel probe
    - Photoshop templates for those that want to bring the other air forces into play
     
    **********************************KNOWN ISSUES***********************************************************
    -Cockpit is missing throttles. Unless Centruion1 returns this is unresolveable
    -Lod is locked in, unless Centurion-1 returns.
    -Modders: there is a bleed issue on the right side. any bands like the VNAF had need to be on skin, not tga. small decals like insignia work fine.
    -This mod uses my master squadronlist.ini. IF installed into another install with other than stock squadronlist, do not install. It will mess up the other things on your install and my mod is adapted to force the decals.
     
    NOTICE: this mod currently is AS IS and can only be modded by skinning and ini edits. It's not perfect, but its
    in house and therefore free.
    ********************************************************************************************************************************
    Installation: drop into mod folders. allow overwrites if it comes up. Delete DAT version, this replaces and upgrades player experience. Modders, put the templates where you wish to work on them
    DON'T FORGET TO BACK UP BEFORE INSTALLING!
     
    ****************NOTE!!!!!! IMPORTANT NOTE *************************************************************
     
    If you install this in a install that has eburgers SF2V Air & Ground Expansion Pack, DO NOT INSTALL THE PILOTDATA FOLDER!!!! This will overwrite the Squadronlist.ini in the pack and may break something. If you do not have the Air&Ground pack or NATO Fighters installed the new squadronlist ini will work fine and be a big improvement for units available.

  2. Echoes Across the States: KC-135E Stratotanker's First 15 Years

    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

  3. Charlie Vipers on Guard Part 2: Block 30s in the 90s

                 Charlie Vipers on Guard
                 Part 2: Block 30s in the 90s
    This mod is the second of three to represent the various versions of the F-16C/D in US Air National Guard service during the 1990s. It was a busy time with potential conflicts in Korea and active operations ongoing over Iraq and the Balkans. This mod aims to show the
    units as they were at that time. Included is a  F-16D Block 30 modified from the Aggressor F-16D to cover the two seaters in each unit that had them.

    Included
    Team Viper F-16C Block 30
    Modified Team Viper F-16D Block 30
    various period specific weapons and pilots
    various ini edits to match the era
    new hangar and loading screens
    NOTE: The D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. the best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters. The load outs are the same so you will be able to load teh same weapons.
     ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
    LOADING SCREEN NOTE: I will be including various loading screens with the diferent packs available. In the F-16C_B30.iniyou will find these lines
             LoadingScreen=F-16C_Loading_121.jpg
            //LoadingScreen=F-16C_Loading_457.jpg
            //LoadingScreen=F-16C_Loading_512.jpg
    installing this mod will have default loading screen with the New Jersey ANG aircraft. if you already had a different version and prefer that one, simply remove the "//" from the one you want and add to the one without.

  4. Enhancement Pack for TW DLC 23 - F-4N Phantom II

    DLC 23 F-4N PHANTOM II ENHANCEMENT PACK
     
     
    This is a mod to enhance the DLC F-4N. It includes data.ini's for smoky engines,
    realistic weapons and drooping ailerons. It also features many skins that have been
    touched up using Sundowners templates. Finally it has 100 historic BuNo's, and
    several styles and colors for modexes. It covers a wide spread of N users without
    becoming completely OCD.
     
    Included are:
     
    -3 F-4N aircraft (N, N_77, N_80) to help keep some order and smallness of file size. skins covered include USN/MC Grey, Overall Gloss
    Gloss Gull Gray(circa 1980), Lo Viz Grey (1981) and TPS (1983). Ferris and Heater Ferris were not used for the most part on N models.
    -my expanded squadronlist.ini. tho many units are stock in here, several will not show without this. Plus it's got room for anybody you
    can think of and then some more.
    -an expansive NavalF4 decal folder to cover all years after Vietnam (EXCEPT 1976). not all will be full right now, but
    they will be filled up with some future planned mods.
    -a Numbers folder with Buno's for the N, and several styles of Modex's
    -smokier engine effects for the J-79s.
    -J-79 engine sounds
     
    REQUIRED: The TW F-4N Phantom II, DLC 23.
     
    INSTALLATION:
    same as any other mod. unzip the file, paste into your mod folder, allow overwrites for old copies
    of the smoke effects and the F-4N.ini.
     
    CREDITS
     
    First is a HUGE THANK YOU to mytai01. much of this work is based off of his model for decalling the F-4 Phantom.
    Some of the nn tgas are even lifted off his B model skins and adjusted into N models BuNos. Those that have seen
    his work will recognize much influence in this mod.
     
    Thanks to Sundowner for his templates. With a Sundowner template, you have to work hard to screw up a skin!!!!!
     
    As with all my Phantom mods, thank you to Spillone104 for his J-79 effects. I do like them so, and hope
    you will as well.
     
    thanks to JSF_Aggie for his drooping aileron edit for the data.ini. although TK fixed that in the July
    2013 patch, i have not patched there yet and know that many still haven't. for the time being the mod
    uses JSF_Aggie's work.
     
    Thanks to Gerwin, Blade, Wrench, Dave, mppd, Ghost531 and many others who have given me answers and resources
    to many technical questions the last year and a half I've been working this.
     
    special thanks to Ghost531 and CrazyHorseB34 for getting me off my fourth point of contact when stalled
    on this project
     
    and as always thanks to TK who developed both the game and the particular DLC, then left enough work for
    likes of me to fill in.
     
     
     
     
    again thank you for downloading this mod and i hope that you enjoy it!

  5. Update for TMF E-3 Sentry

    USAF/NATO E-3 Sentry Pack

    with the ESM fairings on the cheeks and chin. 31 Historical serial numbers are incluled for USAF, 18 for NATO.
    Skins are FAIRLY historical although accurate representation of units by tail stripe was difficult due to
    lack of Photos with documentation.
     
    INSTALLATION
    Same as any other mod. Unzip, cut and past to mods folder. allow merge with Aircraft and Decals folders.
     
    INCLUDED

    ESM and fakepilot objects for pilots folder
     
    CREDITS
    TMF- the original 3D modeland original USAF skin.
    Florian- NATO skins and tweeks to USAF. While I prefer decals, these are good enough I only had to do
    serial numbers and nose badges. Also provided the original inspiration for the ESM pods part of the mod
    yakarov79- the fake pilot ESM pods
    Dave- consultation and approvals on the original project
    Daddyairplanes- serial numbers, new arrangement for skins, general ini editing

  6. 23d Wing Pope AFB 1994

    23d Wing Pope AFB 1994
    In the 1990s, the USAF experimented with composite wings that would have everything needed within a single unit for deployment into a regional fight.
    The 23 Wing was formed in 1992 to bring about this vision, as applied to direct support of US Army forces. By 1994, 4 squadrons were ready at Pope AFB NC
    to support the US Army's 82d ABN DIV at neighboring Fort Bragg. The 2d and 41st Airlift Squadrons flying the C-130E Hercules, the 74th Fighter Squadron flying
    the F-16C/D Block 40 Vipers, and the 75th Fighter Squadron flying the A-10A Warthog. As is tradition for the 23d Wing, which traces its lineage to the
    Flying Tigers of World War 2, every aircraft in the wing sported a sharks mouth.
    This mod brings together everything needed to get the 23d Wing into the fight. Complete aircraft (including a newly revamped F-16D Block 40 from ravenclaw007), period specific weapons, sounds and effects.
    Included
    Viper Team F-16C Block 40 and 75th FS skin
    ravenclaw007/Viper Team F-16D Block 40 and 75th FS skin
    Dels C-130E_SKE with 2d ALS, 41st ALS Grey and 23d Wing Euro 1 skins
    Various period specific weapons (actively in use 1994-1996)
    Installation
    unzip folder * drop into mod folder of your choice * allow overwrites
    Known Issues
    The C-130 and its weapons are primarlily eye candy. There are unfortuneatly no paratroop drop missions in SF2, and so if you want to drop say 1/325 INF onto a drop zone,
    you will need to select a recon mission and punch those partarooper out by hand
    I have been having issues getting the LAPES Sheridan tank to create a "crater" after dropping. it is still included for the visuals of puching a tank out the back of a Herk,
    and because there was still an Airborne Armor Bn at Bragg in 1994. But at this time the tank will disappear on contact with the ground
     
    Credits
    Viper Team               all F-16 models included
    ravenclaw_007         tweeked F-16D model and templates (C and D)
    Dels                           C-130E_SKE model

    and special thanks to   William Godwin (callsign Radio), 23d Wing Historian at Moody AFB

    I hope you enjoy this mod. After 12 years total at Ft Bragg (all but 4 of them seeing the Hogs overhead near everyday) this one was a bit more personal than some other mods

    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    UPDATE 31 DEC 20220
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    After further research on other Hog units, and closer examination of the TW model, i have included Spectre8750's A-10A_93 model with updated numbers list.
    I also changed several serials after determining that they were at other bases in 1995. The deduction I used to find the C-130 serials didnt work as well
    for the Hogs. But it is fixed and I even discovered two Tiger Shark Hogs that were still in Euro 1 camoflage at the time. The A-10A_93 features two skins for
    the bulk of the gray birds and the two green ones.

    - unit specific skins for all N Phlyers from 1974 until about 1982.

  9. SAC Twilight: B-52G/H Stratofortress

                               SAC Twilight B-52G/H Skinpack and Upgrade Package
    This is a package that adds several historical skins with nose arts to the B-52G_89 and B-52H_88 aircraft. Several skins also include my skin as tga method to allow several camo schemes in one skin. It also upgrades the weapons loadouts and data.ini's for better
    historical accuracy
        Included
    - B-52G_89 and B-52H_88 aircraft with new loading screens, data ini, loadout ini, historical serials and nose arts
    - weapons including a new B28FI_350 nuclear bomb and upgraded data inis for others
    - effects and sounds for aircraft and weapons
        Installation
    unzip package, put into mod folder, allow overwrites for items that you already have
        AIRCRAFT NOTES
    several skins have tga based skin to represent SIOP mod, Strategic, and all grey camo. this leads to the decal folder being large (over 3.5GB).
        
        B28 NOTES
    the B28FI weapon included is to represent a laydown delivered weapon. it should not be released lower than 1600 ft AGL and slower than 515kts. the B28RI weapon should not be released lower than 6000ft AGL.
    not responsible for fragging is these guidelines are not met.

  10. Vipers Over Bosnia Pt 1: USAFE F-16C/D Operation Deny Flight

    Vipers Over Bosnia
        Part 1: USAFE F-16C/Ds During Operation Deny Flight
    In April 1993, NATO had documented over 500 unauthorized military flights over Bosnian airspace since the United Nations passed Resolution 781 that prohibited those flights. The Umited Nations then passed Resolution 816 that extended the flight ban to all fixed and rotary wing in the country and authorized memeber states to use all measures need to comply.
    On 12 April 1993, NATO began Operation Deny Flight, combat air patrols to enforce the no fly zone over Bosnia Herzogovina. In June 1993, Resolution 836 allowed NATO to also provide close air support to UNPROFOR on request (This was not often used because requests had to go to the UN in New York, then to NATO then back to the pilots and ground forces involved). As a result, the typical loadout was of air to air missiles as well as a pair of bombs and jaming pod.
    The closest American air base to the conflict zone was Aviano AB in Italy. Many US Fighter units forward deployed there at the beginning, including elements of the 86th Fighter Wing (512th and 526th Fighter Squadrons) which was transitioning from the F-16C Block 30 to the F-16C Block 40. This unit was in the middle of that transition on 28 Feb 1994 when elements of the 526th FS engaged 6 Serbian J-21 jets with the USAF claiming 4 downed (the Serbs claim 5 were lost).
    Later in 1994, the 86th Wing ceased fighter operations and the two squadrons were moved to Aviano to become part of the 31st Fighter Wing (510th FS and 555th FS). These squadrons continued operations over Bosnia through the shoot down incident on 2 Jun 1995 and the air strikes conducted as part of Operation Deliberate Force.
    With the adopting of the Dayton Peace Accords, Deny Flight was determined to no longer be necessary and terminated on 15 December 1995.
    This mod represents the four USAFE main F-16 squadrons that took part, the 512th FS Dragons, 526th FS Knights, 510th FS Buzzards, and 555th FS Triple Nickel. It also covers the two different blocks of F-16 flown at the time (30 and 40)
     
    Included
    F-16C Block 30 and 40, F-16D Block 40
    new F-16D Block 40
    various period specific weapons and pilots
    various ini edits to match the era
    new hangar and loading screens
    NOTE: The D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. The best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters. The load outs are the same so you will be able to load the same weapons.

  11. SENTRY : Aircraft of the NATO E-3A Component

                                                                                          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
    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.

  12. 52nd Fighter Wing 1994

    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.

  13. Post Vietnam USAF F-4 Phantom INI, Skins and Decal mod

    This is a simple mod for the stock TW USAF Phantoms. It uses new decal folders to allow tailcodes for most units that flew after 1973, four main paint schemes that were used between Vietnam and the Phantom's Phinal Phlights in the 90's, and ini edits to take advantage of some effects, sounds and new weapons loadouts. If you wish to know more, please read the readme it should explain most everything. Thank you to Sundowner(most of the skins), Malibu43 and Spillone104, Slartibartfast, Wrench, Dave, EricJ and a host of others. I hope that You enjoy
     
    built up in SF2V/E/I/EXP1 and 2, Windows Vista. Will need SF2E to make all Phantoms work. Now updated to Sep 2011 patch.

  14. NATO Trainer Cargo Aircraft CT-49A

    This is the NATO E-3 Components TCA,(USAF designated CT-49A) based on the 707-320. These aircraft are use for pilot training of the E-3 Component and for cargo and troop transport as needed. Three are operated by NATO and a total of 5 have ever flown under NATO colors. This mod includes a touch up of the OTAN skin found in the TMF E-3A release and decals for all 5 TCA's ever registered in Luxemborg. It also includes the Sentry cockpit to make it flyable, or if you have the 707-300 already you can drop the CT-49 skin in and it will work as well. I hope you enjoy!

  16. KC-10A Extender

    The KC-10 Extender
     
    I made this mod after noticing that the aircraft in ODS was
    using a skin that was not use IRL until 3-4 years after Desert
    Storm. This fixes up skins for the Douglas (White over Grey with
    Blue cheatlines), Shamu (Green/Gray over Gray)and Gunship Gray
    schemes. I also added historical serial numbers to each skin, and
    did the unit markings tied into each serial number. (for you advanced
    modders out there, tied it as a 2 level rather than a 1 level). This will
    allow several units to appear when they show in game on the ramp.
     
    Installation
    just add Objects folder to your mod folder. If installing into an ODS
    install, allow overwrites.
     
    Additional Warning
    *************************************************************************
    this really should be left as an AI controlled plane. it is not really
    for any missons that would be represented in game anyhow.
    i just skinned it up to satisfy a little historical accuracy in the game.
    *************************************************************************
     
    Credits
     
    Marcfighters..........the model and original skin(served as a base for template)
    eburger68.............revised data.ini that made the FM more manageable
    myself................all other skins, template and tgas
    TK....................the game itself, and our ability to keep modding
     
    special thanks to Muesli, for helping me out trying to get the Dutch in the game as well.
     
    suggestion to those with mission editor:
    why not set up teh tankers on an orbit at a waypoint of a mission?
    then you could "simulate" tanking as part of the missions......

  17. DC-8 Series by Veltro2k

    Douglas DC-8 series By Veltro2k
     
    This mod features three versions of the Douglas DC-8 jetliner and historical skinsets from introduction in the early '60s through the mid '80s. A little something for eye candy around the airfields or to run intercepts on.
     
    Versions
    *DC-8 representing the original DC-8-10/20/30/40 versions with the quieting tubes on the exhaust
    *DC-8-50 representing the final short fuselage version and JT3D engines without quieting tubes
    *DC-8-60 representing two of the final new build versions with stretched fuselage.
    *several historical skinsets for all models
    *flight and nations ini edits to allow airliner nation and a spaced out in line formation
     
    Installation
    unzip and load into mods folder. allow merging
     
    Known Issues
    * The cockpit is the same pit as in all V2k's big jet planes. Not proper but the plane was meant for eye candy not regular missions
    * The DC-8-50 model has a seam running along the spine. Until Veltro makes an appearance again this will be there. It is not noticeable at a distance
    *This is a huge mod (4 1/2 GB) due to how i've made the skins, or specifically the tgas for the fuselage.It takes a bigger decal to paint the side of an airliner
     
    Credits

  18. Updated Boeing 757-200

    Updated 757-200 for SF2
     
    This is an update of YEYEYEs SF1 release for use in SF2. I have applied my usual technique to incorporate multiple airlines on one skin per era, with 4 eras from release in the
    mid 1980s through the mid 1990s. More may become available later but templates are included for those that don't want to wait on me.
     
    Installation
    unzip, open folder titled "Mod Folder" and allow overwrites.
    IF YOU HAVE A PREVIOUSLY MODDED FOLDER
    1. delete flight and terrains from "Mod Folder". 2 open the "Specials Folder", insert the nations txt file into your Nations.ini and the terrain txt file into your
    (whatever)Nations.ini in the needed terrain folder.
    templates to wherever you keep files for modding, or delete if you do not desire to mod it
     
    Known Issues
    - It is a bit slow on the pickup. while it can take off from a smaller airbase, best to stick to larger fields
    - It features the same pit as the 767 and other airliners. we do not have an in house pit that is more appropriate at the moment and so most airliners are stuck looking like generic WWII
    bomber pits
    - It has a seam on the bottom of the model that is very pronounced given the decal based marking system i use. however this should not be to noticeable unless you approach it from below.
    When parked on the ground or viewed from the side or above the seam is not noticeable.
    - for all above faults, remember: it is meant as eye candy, not an operational bird! enjoy taking off from Keflavik or Rhein Main and seeing many airlines parked on one ramp

  19. KC-135 Skin Pack 1: Operation Desert Storm

     
    This skinpack adds in historical aircraft as used in Desert Storm for the A, E and R models KC-135. It is as close as possible with unit markings and features several nose arts.
        Included
    Skins and decals for KC-135A/E/R models
    Cockpit and ini edits to make player flyable

        Required
    you will need the original KC-135 pack available here
     
        Installation
    download and install the above mod per its instructions
    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 was originally an AI only aircraft. I added Dels C-130 pit so that it was flyable and I could check my work. That said, it is best to not fly from the cockpit as the Hercules' window frames don't match with the Stratotanker's windows.
       UNIQUE FEATURES
    As with most of my large aircraft mods, the skins are tga based. this means if you look for a Baby Shamu skin, you will only see a plain grey skin. When you fire it up in game, you will see a mix of ADC Grey and Baby Shamu.
    AT THE START OF EACH SERIAL NUMBER IN THE DROP DOWN IS A LETTER, (a) FOR ADC Grey WITH FULL COLOR AND (s) FOR THE CAMO'D Baby Shamu SCHEME WITH SUBDUED MARKINGS

  20. Operation Desert Storm Skinpack and Updates for B-52G_89


                                                                                                                                                Operation Desert Storm Skinpack and Updates for B-52G_89
        This Mod will add ODS skins for the B-52G_89 found here
    some weapon, ini, effects and sound edits are also included to enhance the operation of this classic bomber
        Included:
    Updated and reskinned B-52G_89, Decal set that puts multiple camoflages on each skin and at least a dozen Historical aircraft with Unit markings and nose art, updated weapons common to that version of the aircraft, a fake gunpod pylon for use with dual MERs, and updated sounds and effects.
        Historical Notes:
    Although you can fly em all, the only accurate skin to fly within ODS would be the Jeddah skin. The others flew from off of the various Iraq terrains available.
    Bomb missions markings not included as these are set to represent the beginning of the campaign.
    While many other weapons can be carried, the improved ones are the ones carried during Desert Storm, and strategic weapons (nukes)
    While ALCM pylon is missing (more below), it only affects the Senior Surprise mission from Barksdale AFB (16-17 Jan 1991). The other Bomb Wings did not employ CALCMs
        Installation:
    unzip. put all folders EXCEPT Templates into desired mod folder. Allow overwrites as needed.
        Known Issues:
    While there is currently a new Hound Dog pylon selectable in the download menu, there is not an ALCM pylon. While some sources state that the CALCMs were carried on the stub pylons, I find that not too likely.but it is how it is carried in game at this time. Either I will learn Blender and create one in the future, or a volunteer would be welcomed to create one (likely a faster route). But at time of initial release (24/12/2018) the cruise missiles are carried on the stubs.

  22. Texas Falcons: Vipers over the Lone Star State (90s Edition)

    Texas Falcons:
     F-16s over the Lone Star State 1990-1999
    This mod represents the various models of F-16 that were in service in the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve during the 1990s. These units include the
    - 457th Fighter Squadron (Air Force Reserve) at Fort Worth
    - 704th Fighter Squadron (Air Force Reserve) at Bergstrom AFB
    - 111th Fighter Squadron (Texas ANG) at Ellington ANGB
    - 182d  Fighter Squadron (Texas ANG) at Lackland AFB
    These units have utilized a range of F-16 models over the years and a wider range of missions. The 704th deactivated in 1996, and the 111th converted to MQ-1s in 2009. But the 457th and 182d are still going strong as Viper operators today
    Included
    Team Viper F-16C Blocks 25, 30, 32
    Modified Team Viper F-16A/B Block OCU, F-16D Block 30
    new F-16A/B Block 15 ADF, F-16D Blocks 25 and 30
    various period specific weapons and pilots
    various ini edits to match the era
    new hangar and loading screens
    NOTE: The D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. the best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters. The load outs are the same so you will be able to load teh same weapons.
    Other Note: If there is not a two seater assigned to a unit, there will not be a D model skin for that unit. I have checked about a dozen times to be sure I wasnt missing something

  23. Charlie Vipers on Guard Part 1: Block 25s in the 90s

                 Charlie Vipers on Guard
                 Part 1: Block 25s in the 90s
    This mod is the first of three to represent the various versions of the F-16C/D in US Air National Guard service during the 1990s. It was a busy time with potential conflict in Korea and active operations ongoing over Iraq and the Balkans. This mod aims to show the units as they were at that time. Included is a new F-16D Block 25 from ravenclaw_007 to cover the two seaters in each unit that had them.

    Included
    Team Viper F-16C Block 25 with historical ANG skins
    new F-16D Block 25
    various period specific weapons and pilots
    various ini edits to match the era
    new hangar and loading screens
    NOTE: The D models have very few serial numbers to each unit. most units only had one or two family models. the best use for these is to add on as a member of a flight of single seaters rather than as a flight of their own.
    The load outs are the same so you will be able to load the same weapons.
    ***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
    LOADING SCREEN NOTE: I will be including various loading screens with the diferent packs available. In the F-16C_B25.iniyou will find these lines
            LoadingScreen=F-16C_Loading_119.jpg
            //LoadingScreen=F-16C_Loading_111.jpg
    installing this mod will have default loading screen with the New Jersey ANG aircraft. if you already had a different version and prefer that one, simply remove the "//" from the one you want and add to the one without.

  24. 43rd AW, Pope AFB 2000

    43rd Airlift Wing Pope AFB 2000
    Hello everyone, this is a simple skin and decal set to represent the 43rd Airlift Wing and the aircraft it had on hand around the turn of the century.

    You will need a C-130E SKE aircraft for this mod. you can find them either in Dels C-130 Superpack #1
    or my 23rd Wing Package
     
     
    once you have that, just unzip, add to the mod folder of your choice and allow overwrites.

  25. TMF E-3A Sentry for SF2 series

    This is The Mirage Factory's E-3A Sentry packaged as an individual aircraft for SF2 series. Included is a NATO skin by AmokFloo, the original 552d Flagship skin, and skins representing each squadron that flies the Sentry. Also included are decals for all NATO assigned aircraft and the Core 23 aircraft purchased by the USAF in the 70's. This should add some airborne eye candy to your installs, particularly Europe and the Middle East.
     
    To install simply drop the folders into the correct areas of your mods folder.
     
    Thank you to The Mirage Factory, AmokFloo, Dave and several others for their work on this project. i hope you enjoy this mod, and lets see how can form their favorite fighter on the wing long enough for a screenie!
