I modded the stock F-16A Netz to make it look like a fictional fighter plane for the spanish air force.
 
YOU WILL NEED SF2:I AT LEAST TO GET THIS PLANE RUNNING!
 
BACKGROUND
 
Spain acquired the Mirage F-1 in 1975 and equipped the Ala 14 in Albacete. After the start of the transition from dictatorship to democracy, the US government sought to improve the relationship to Spain which had a strategic position at the western end of Europe, right in front of Africa. On one hand, they wanted to establish bases in Spain enabling them faster reactions in the middle east and northern Africa. On the other hand they showed their support the new government and their intentions to create a stable country.
 
As a sign of good will, president Jimmy Carter offered the F-16 to the Ejército del Aire at a special price. The Mirage F-1 became replaced by the F-16, which received the designation C-17 Halcón. Both squadrons based in Albacete got equipped with the plane. The F-1s got sold back to France at a significantly lower price, who sold them again to Morocco and Iraq.

Fictional Mod of Bongodrivers fantastic EF-2000 to create a plane for the iraqi air force. It includes modifications according to Trench 3.
 
BACKGROUND
After three conflicts with heavy losses, the iraqi air force got almost completely destroyed. The fall of Saddam Hussein and the political system turning from dictatorship to democracy made it necessary to accept foreign help in reconstructing the country. This also meant the rebuilding of the air force.
 
In this matter, a meeting of actual british prime minister and his colleague in the iraqi government took place in London, where a contract was meant to be signed about the purchase of 60 new, to the needs of the iraqi air force adapted, Typhoons. The modifications were, among others:
 
- added CFTs on the fuselage for the enhancement of the range
- highly upgraded ECM and electronic warfare systems
- modified engines with higher thrust
- use of western armament
 
The most important upgrade, the CFTs, were necessary due to the fact that the Al I'ssars (iraqi for Typhoon) had to takeoff from Bagdad and Al Sahra and had to travel a long way before reaching their patrolling routes.
 
Along with the Typhoons, Iraq signed a contract with Russia for the purchase of 60 Super Flanker with the designation SU-35IQ Asifat al Turab (Sandstorm).
 
Features :
 
- CFTs by teras
- Desert camouflage skin by nazghul
- new radar by teras
- new ecm systems by teras
- carrier based
- imporved engines by nazghul
- improved flight model " FM " by teras
 
 
note : this is not a new set it is only improvments and upgrades for the original ef-2000
Note 2 : this is SF2 & SF2V & SF2E & SF2I addons ( didn't tried it on SFP1 )
note 3 : *** for very long range strike operations ( 600 NM and Longer ) loading external fuel tank recommended!

This is a mod of the JAS-39C from the Gripen Team to make it look like fighterplane from the japanese air self defense force.
 
BACKGROUND:
After having had good experiences during the first joint venture between SAAB and Mitsubishi and the high grade of acception of the japanese Draken by the JASDF-Pilots, the ministry of defense initiated a new joint venture. The swedish Gripen was now to be "nipponized". Pilots of the JASDF went to Sweden to fly the Gripen and push her to the limit, testing her capabilities. The Pilots were amazed how easy it was to fly the Gripen.
 
Back in Japan, the Pilots reported their experiences to their superiors what led to an order of 120 planes, mainly single-seater. The first planes arrived during the first months of 2006, were they had to undergo changes in electronics, adapting them to japanese JASDF-Standards. The 8th Hikotai and the 305th Hikotai were the first squadrons receiving the Gripen. This plane was the first wearing the new JAMPAT-Camo in service.

This is a mod of the EF-2000 Typhoon from Bongodriver to make it look like fighterplane from the japanese air self defense force.
 
BACKGROUND:
In March 2007, the JASDF opened a competition for the next generation plane. Among the competitors are the Super Hornet, the F-35 and the Typhoon. The Rafale was not part of the competition because of the fear, that american planes could be favourized. Nevertheless, Eurofighter threw the Typhoon into competition. There will be no decision until November 2011(Janes Information Group).
 
The EFJ Typhoon represents a possible version of the japanese Typhoon in the case it should become the winner of the competition. The plane will enter service in 2013 becoming part of the 3rd and the 6th Hikotai, replacing the single-seater F-2. While the 3rd Hikotai wears the standard grey camo, the 6th Hikotai wears the standard two-tone blue camo also worn by the F-2.

This is a mod of TMF's F-14B (96) to make it look like a multirole aircraft from the israeli air force.
 
BACKGROUND:
Being impressed of the interception capabilities of the F-14 combined with the AIM-54 Phoenix, the IDF decided to order themselves a modified version of the F-14B, the bombing capable version of the Tomcat. Modifications were performed by IAI. The modifications also needed the AIM-54C to be modified.
 
Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, the national arms manufacturer, created, based on the construction plans of the Phoenix, the 'Serpent' LRAAM, which design was identical to the Phoenix but with israeli electronics inside. The missile was extensely tested over the mediterranean sea and proofed to be equal to the AIM-54 concerning performance, reliability and accuracy. Primary role was the interception of incoming enemy planes from seaside long before reaching the coast and secondary role was Strike and Anti-Ship-Missions.
 
Two squadrons got equipped with the 'Peten':
The Valley Squadron (109th) grey camo
Flying Dragon Squadron (115th) desert camo

Fictional mod of the stock MiG-21MF to make it look like a fictional fighter plane for the spanish air force.
 
YOU WILL NEED BOTH SF2:E AND SF2:I AT LEAST TO GET THIS PLANE RUNNING!
 
BACKGROUND
 
In the end of the 1960s, the HA.210 Hidalgo got outdated due to the appearance of new fighters and weapons. The new Semi-Active Homing-Technology made the Hidalgo a easy target for medium and long-range attacks. A new fighter, able of carrying the allied equivalent, tha AIM-7 Sparrow, was needed. Hispano-Suiza and CASA competed in the production of this new plane.
 
Hispano-Suiza won the competition with the fighter called "Trueno". The design was sleak but robust. The maiden-flight of the plane was on the 21st of January of 1971 and the 111th and 113th squadron were supplied with this plane in December of the same year.

This is a mod of Bobrocks Av-8B+ to make it look like a plane from the israeli air force.
 
THIS MOD IS FOR A FULL MERGED INSTALL OR AT LEAST SF2:E AND SF2:I. OTHERWISE THE PLANE WON'T FUNCTION PROPERLY.
 
BACKGROUND:
After Desert Storm in 1991, the high command of the israeli air force recognized the need of a carrier-based strike force to improve their reaction capabilities in a modern conflict. For this aim, the purchase of two french aircraft carriers of the Clemenceau-class was planned. As aircraft for the carriers, the IDF wanted an adaptated version of the AV-8B+.
 
In 1994, the carrier purchase was cancelled due to budget restrictions, but the adapted Harrier called Ze'ev was kept and did service in the 193th Squadron.

Fictional mod of Julhelm great A/F-24 to create a fighter plane for the japanese air self defense force.
 
Background:
Japan wanted to replace their ageing F-4EJ planes from the 302nd Hikotai. In order to be able to perform attacks without prior detection by the enemy, Japan was interested in buying the F-22. Resulting too expensive for their budget, the Pentagon offered Japan the Shadowcat as a cheaper solution. The JASDF named their plane 'Oni' (Demon) which was the sensation the plane should cause at the enemy.

This is a mod of the Super Hornet F from EricJ to make it look like a plane from the israeli air force.
 
BACKGROUND:
In the final years of the first decade of the 21st century, Israel decided to replace their F-16C and D-Models (Barak) with a new type of fighter/bomber.
The only really fitting model for type of missions was the FA-18 Super Hornet.
 
The decision of either taking the E or F-model was decided in favor of the F-model due to the fact that two crewmembers would bring a better performance during the missions. The squadrons of the IAF equipped with the adapted Version, the Akav, were the 116th Squadron "Defenders of the South" and the 140th Squadron, "The Golden Eagle".

[Fictional] F-35E Lobo (Wolf)
 
This is a mod of FastCargos F-35B to make it look like a plane from the spanish navy air arm.
 
BACKGROUND:
After having taken the F-14B "Lion" out of active service, the 8th and 9th escuadrilla from the Armada received the AV-8S and the TAV-8S. The arrival of the new spanish aircraft carrier "Principe de Asturias" made it necessary to have planes with jumpjet capabilities, which the "Lion" did not have.
 
With a unique offer from Lockheed Martin for the F-35 Lightning II, the Armada decided to replace the Matadors from the 8th escuadrilla with the F-35B, which had VSTOL-Capabilities.
 
Although the plane was called Lobo, which is a land-based predator, this name refers to the Seawolf. But seawolf would be lobo marino in spanish and aircraft do not have two part names.

Mikoyan Gurevych MiG-29EE Força Aerea Portuguesa for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
 
I modded the MiG-29 from The Mirage Factory to make it look like a fictional fighter for the portuguese air force.
 
 
BACKGROUND
The cooperation with IAI in developing the MiG-29I Shu'Al demonstrated the Mikoyan Gurevych OKB the possiblities and rentability of exporting the plane to the West with some modifications.
 
As a modern and at the same time relatively cheap fighter compared to other western planes, the MiG-29EE was the result of the adaptation of the plane to the needs of the western air forces. The abbreviation EE stands for 'Europe Export'. Since the cold war was over and the "enemy" was no longer existing, Mikoyan Gurevych OKB had no problems in offering one of the best planes of the former Soviet Union to european countries.
 
Portugal, whose military still suffered from budget restrictions, decided to replace the expensive F-16 with the more affordable MiG-29EE and equipped the 201st Squadron with this type while the 301st had to wait to replace the Dragao with the MiG-29.

I modded the stock MiG-21SM from SFP:E to make it look like a fictional fighter for the french air force.
 
 
BACKGROUND
 
After the retirement of the Farandole II, several french fighter wings got the Mystere IVA. Complaints about lacking engine power and fire power led to the development of the Sagette, which was a more versatile and powerful fighter, easy to fly and and with reasonable armament. This plane entered active service in 1971, replacing the Mystere IVA.
 
This plane was also able to carry the new R530 IR and radar guided missiles, which gave the plane even more firepower.

BACKGROUND:
In 2010, command of the EDA asked for the possibility of replacing their EF-18As and Bs with the more advanced E and F versions. Diplomacy made it possible that the Obama administration would take the old planes back and make a special offer. In 2012, the first squadrons received the new planes. Since the former Hornets wore the designation "C-15", the Super Hornets ought to have been designated C-15VA and CB-15VA, but these designations were too long so the Super Hornets were then called "C-24".

IAI/Mikoyan Gurevych MiG-29I Shu'Al (Fox) for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (Israel or Merged)
 
I modded the MiG-29 from The Mirage Factory to make it look like a fictional fighter and recon plane for the israeli air force.
 
 
BACKGROUND
During the first Iraq War in 1991, a group of iraqi MiG-29 decided to desert trying to escape the fate their comrades faced against the overwhelming power of the USAF, US Navy and their allies. Their escape ended over the Golan Heights, where they were intercepted by a entire squadron of F-15 Baz and F-16 Netz patrolling. Due to some misunderstanding between the deserters and the defending pilots, two MiG-29 were shot down and the remaining ones got escorted to the Ramat David Airbase.
 
Israel handed the pilots over to the US for further interrogation and kept the MiGs for studies. The capabilities of the plane convinced the commanders of the IDF. Israel offered Mikoyan Gurevych a offer for the license they could not refuse to accept, since MiG suffered a lot financially after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The MiG-29 was modified by IAI. Two years later, the first MiG-29I Shu'Al did it's maiden flight on the 24th of June 1993.

SAAB J-35P Dragão (Dragon) for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (Israel or Merged)
 
I modded the fictional F-13 Draken from Spinners to make it look like a fictional fighter and recon plane for the portuguese air force.
 
 
BACKGROUND
The original intention of the portuguese government was to equip 2 entire squadrons, the 201st and the 301st, with F-16. After another evaluation of the financial capabilities, one squadron could not be equipped with the Falcon.
 
Saab, having just signed the contract with Mitsubishi for the licensed Draken, also offered Portugal the option for the license of this plane. After doing some calculation, Portugal decided not to buy the license, but to equip the 301st sqaudron with an adapted Draken, which was then called "Dragão".

SAAB/Mitsubishi JF-35J Draken for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
 
I modded the fictional F-13 Draken from Spinners to make it look like a fictional fighter and recon plane for the japanese self defense force.
 
 
BACKGROUND
Due to some cuttings in the budget of the military administration, the JASDF was forced to look for some suitable substitute for the Starfighter, which became more and more expensive in maintenance.
 
US-Planes still remained expensive, Soviet planes were no alternative due to pacts Japan was bound to. Sweden, as a neutral country not belonging to the Warsaw Pact, offered a good alternative with the J-35 Draken. Japan ordered two complete squadrons and dropped the Starfighter.

Hispano-Suiza HA.210 Hidalgo (Nobleman) for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (Israel or Quad-Merged)
 
I modded the stock MiG-17F from SFP:I to make it look like a fictional fighter plane for the spanish air force.
 
 
BACKGROUND
 
The HA.200 Saeta, the precessor of the Hidalgo, was Spains first real jetfighter. But it didn't have enough power to stand a dogfight. So it was degraded to a trainer for the spanish piloting school.
 
While trying to improve the plane and creating the HA.220 Super Saeta, another team of Hispano-Suizas R&D department was involved in the planification and construction of a plane able to be some worthy opponent in close dogfights.
 
Three years later, the Hidalgo did it's maiden flight. The US was shocked about the capabilities of this tiny plane.
Spain used this plane for long time, offering US-pilots a chance to test their dogfighting skills in their F-86 Sabres. The plane presented here was part of the Ala 6.
