I also did most of skins with paint and check ingame. Man! That was a time-consuming thing back then! And even with the Lodviewer existing, I kept doing that for a while. It was @Stratos who told me to use the LODviewer for improving my skinning skills and time.

View File [Fictional] Panavia Tornado GR.1H for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 Mod of guuruu's great Tornado GR.1 to make it look like a fictional fighter-bomber plane for the greek air force. BACKGROUND STORY The fulfilment of the Peace Xenia I contract, signed with the Reagan administration in 1987, got delayed short before the first aircraft could be handed over to the HAF. As a reason for this delay, the Pentagon stated important matters of foreign security, since the Soviet Union (and the Warsaw Pact) started to show significant signs of wear and the beginning emancipation of the eastern block countries. Therefore, the Pentagon wanted to use the aircraft to reinforce overseas units with them. In exchange, the HAF got offered a significant discount for the next contract, Peace Xenia II. Greece, not willing to wait, got in touch with Panavia via the german ministry for foreign affairs. Panavia offered the HAF 36 Tornado GR.1 from a cancelled order, partly produced, which could be delivered in a short period of time. The HAF accepted the conditions for the aircraft and was able to introduce the first sixteen GR.1H in January 1989, assigning them to the 330 Moira Keravnos (Lightning). The remaining 20 aircraft got delivered during the following 18 months. INSTRUCTIONS 1. Drop the content of the "to MODS folder" into your mod folder. If asked to overwrite, click yes. CREDITS Big Thanks to all the people involved (see original credits) in the creation of this superb mod. Also thanks to guuruu for allowing me to release it.

Changed the roundel positions and added some heavier weathering to it:

Thank you. Well, the roundel positions can still be adjusted. If it gets released depends on @guuruu being ok with it, since he is not part of the Freeware Licensing Agreement.

Hey folks, how 'bout this one: The fulfilment of the Peace Xenia I contract, signed with the Reagan administration in 1987, got delayed short before the first aircraft could be handed over to the HAF. As a reason for this delay, the Pentagon stated important matters of foreign security, since the Soviet Union (and the Warsaw Pact) started to show significant signs of wear and the beginning emancipation of the eastern block countries. Therefore, the Pentagon wanted to use the aircraft to reinforce overseas units with them. In exchange, the HAF got offered a significant discount for the next contract, Peace Xenia II.

View File [Fictional] Dassault Mirage 4000H & TH for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 Mod of the superb Mirage 4000 to make it look like a fictional fighter plane for the indian air force. INSTRUCTIONS 1. Drop the folders into your Mod folder. If asked to overwrite, click yes. CREDITS Big Thanks to all the people involved (see original credits) in the creation of this superb mod. Also thanks to Logan4 for allowing me to release it. ORIGINAL CREDITS taken from Logan4's Mirage 4000P & PB This aircraft mod represents Dassault's what-if Mirage 4000P fighter and its trainer PB variant in the Portugese Air Force service. This package comes with 1 skin set for each variant, with decals for P (14 planes), and for PB (6 planes). Also it is dedicated to our friend Cocas who put his work and time to bring us many of the rare or experimental aircraft in this game series and originally created the base model for this plane. This model is meant for SF2 games only, SF1 variants will be uploaded at the SF1 section. Install is the regular dropping the contents in their respective places. In case you have the prototype or French A and B variants you can skip the overwrite prompt of weapons as those 6 items are identical. Please note: The model can be quite heavy on FPS in large formations on weaker machines, so if required, either resize skin files or use lower lods(_nd,001,002,003) as lod1. The model uses the general french and NATO weapons, either as part of weapon packs or the Mirage 2000 family. Important: The PB variant comes with 2 types of cockpit, the basic setup will use a simple pit that has only the pilots cabin instrumented. The other is a fully modeled front and rear compartment, in which you want to fly you should activate the proper line in the AC's.ini file. CockpitDataFile=Mirage4000PB_Cockpit.ini <---- basic setup ;CockpitDataFile=Mirage4000PB_Cockpit_full1.ini <------ front seat ;CockpitDataFile=Mirage4000PB_Cockpit_full2.ini <------ rear seat Be aware - the piloting seat position can not be changed during/in game, so chose wisely! Make sure to read the manual included with the package. ---------------------- Creators of these Aircraft mods as members of CombatAce site: Original 3D work: Cocas Aircraft 3d update and additional changes: Logan4 Cockpit 3d work: Logan4 Aircraft FM: Cliff7600 Aircraft avionics: Loborojo, Cliff7600, logan4 Skin files and decals: Flogger23, Cliff7600, logan4, loborojo Cockpit files: Logan4, Cliff7600 Thanks to Crusader for additional brochure files Big thanks to members of CombatAce for helping and answering our questions and in sorting out some of the issues we got while creating this mod.
