Its got me stumped to mate!!!

Thanks for getting back to me Eric, Which campaign? Op Darius at 80%, Op ShamShir at 90% but Op Marathon works ok but occasionally crashes when I end a campaign mission. Which aircraft/squadron? Any, I have tried quite a few of each. What patch patch level are you on? The latest patch Which SF2 titles are part of your target install? I have used SF2NA to make the mods folder but I have all the SF2 titles merged. Can you fly single missions? Yes Thanks, Dan.

Every time I try and start any campaign it locks up during loading at 80% Any idea what i can do to get it to work? I am playing a fully merged game with all SF2 titles. I have tried re downloading and installing the mod. I have also triple checked I have followed the installation instructions to the letter.

Very cool!

Love what if the upgrades!

Have you got any more information on the real life incident? I've not heard of it before. Sounds incredible at that point of the war the Invincible would have been left untended by escorts etc. Did Argentina even have the intelligence capability to pinpoint the location of a specific ship?

Thanks mate

Question for the Viper Team Guys: What are the mesh names for the F-16C ventral fins? I want to put some decals there... Cheers, Dan.

Thanks guys!

Hay guys, What is the best font to use for USAF style serial numbers and squadron letters? Cheers, Dan

View File USAF ANG 148th FS RNLAF F-16AM Skin USAF ANG 148th FS Skin for the Viper Team Dutch F-16AM (2010+) Assigned to the 162d Tactical Fighter Training Group at Tucson International Airport, Arizona. The 148th FS was tasked with pilot training for the foreign air forces as part of the Foreign Military Sales program, although the squadron has also been tasked with training F-16 crew for the USAF and the Air National Guard both advanced and beginner training. Through the years numerous countries have detached personnel to receive advanced training by the squadron. The first to make use of these was the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF). Training used a mix of USAF F-16 as well as some Dutch F-16s. Eventually a total of eight RNlAF F-16s were on hand. These Dutch aircraft were hard to tell apart from the USAF as they had the same markings and where the same blocks. In 1991, the squadron was officially tasked a NATO F-16 training mission which was not much of a departure from the norm. Re-designated as the 148th Fighter Squadron on 15 March 1992 and the training role continued. By May 1995 all the RNlAF F-16s had departed Tucson for their native country. In 2003 another contract was signed that included detaching foreign F-16s. These new F-16s would be the E/F models of the United Arab Emirates Air Force. The relationship ended on 20 October 2010 with over 100 UAE F-16 pilots trained. The last aircraft departed for UAE during December. 2010 saw a new contract with the RNLAF. The Dutch already had a detachment with the 162d Fighter Squadron of the Ohio Air National Guard. This unit was to lose its F-16 task and so the Dutch needed to search for another training site. The USAF then proposed the 148th FS. So an influx of Dutch F-16AM/BM airframes began December 2010. The first class of about ten pilots graduated in late April 2011. This time the Dutch F-16s retained RNLAF Roundels and serial numbers but have had their Dutch squadron markings replaced with those of the 148th FS.

Big thanks its one of my most played mods!

Cheers guys I have a separate 'Tomorrow, When The War Began' mods folder with all these aircraft plus every other Chinese, Australian and New Zealand ground, air or sea unit available. The plan is to eventually create a campaign with it but I have never done a custom campaign before so it is going to be a learning process for me! Also as you pointed out Wrench the Darwin and NZ terrains need a bit of changing to more accurately reflect the scenario. Darwin needs the enemy territory spreading inland from the coast of Australia as the campaign progresses and the NZ terrain needs to be changed to all friendly with an enemy carrier station off the coast for the Liaoning to launch raiders from. I know how I would like it to be so it’s just a matter of translating it to the SF2 game. Wrench, the book is actually a series of seven books. I read it about 12 years ago in high school when we had to do a book study on it for English class. I liked it back then so you can imagine how cool It was for me when they released the movie a few years ago!

Tomorrow, When The War Began is a book published in 1993 that details the invasion and partial occupation of Australia by a foreign power. Is basically the Australian version of ‘Red Dawn’. It was also turned into a movie released in 2010.The invading nation is never specified in the book but is portrayed as China in the movie. In the book no major world powers are prepared to fight in Australia’s defence due to the risk of war with the invading nation. The only country engaging in open warfare alongside Australia is New Zealand. However the book states that the United States is supplying New Zealand with military equipment and training since it cannot engage in open warfare itself. Here is my take on that RNZAF from invasion in 1993 till today: 1993 The invasion is achieved by a massive simultaneous air and amphibious assault that overwhelms Australia’s Air Defences. Long range bombers striking the RAAF’s airbases succeed in severely damaging the RAAF’s capability to resist the invasion. The remaining RAAF F111 squadrons and arriving New Zealand A-4K Skyhawks attempt to prevent the reinforcement of the beach heads but ultimately most of Northern Australia falls to the invaders despite months of heavy resistance. PLAAF aircraft are now operating from captured Australian airstrips. Late 1993 To replace heavy losses the United States supplies the RAAF with F/A-18 Hornets from its own Navy squadrons, however replacing the lost RNZAF Skyhawks is a more difficult problem. Eventfully A-4N Skyhawks from Israel are sourced with pressure from the US. These Skyhawks enter service immediately and are often in combat before they are totally repainted in RNZAF markings. Due to the difficulty in replacing RNZAF Skyhawks The US decides to supply F-16C aircraft to New Zealand under similar terms as the WWII Lend-Lease program. Operation ‘Peace Justice’ provides the Aircraft along with training in the US for Kiwi pilots. 1994 Ex USAF F-16C Block 40 aircraft enter service with No. 75 Squadron. By now the replacement Israeli A-4N Skyhawks have been updated to ‘Kahu’ standards with the APG-66NZ radar etc. All A-4K and N Skyhawks are now assigned to No. 2 Squadron. The war reaches a stalemate and enters a ‘war of attrition phase’ with a largely stagnant front line as neither side has the strength left for any large scale offensive pushes. Ultimately an uneasy peace will develop with periodic border skirmishes. 2001 The RNZAF expands its air combat force with another squadron of F-16s and commences an upgrade of its Skyhawk fleet with ‘Kahu Phase II’. The new F-16 aircraft are practically band new A/B Block 15 OCU models from an embargoed Pakistani order in storage and are a fraction of the price of new aircraft. The F-16A/B models are delivered to No. 2 Squadron who hand their upgraded Skyhawks over to No. 14 Squadron. 2003 No. 75 Squadron F-16C Block 40 aircraft are rotated through the United States for the CCIP upgrade to F-16CM Block 40 standards. 2007 No. 2 Squadron F-16A/B Block 15 OCU aircraft receive the F-16AM/BM Mid Life Upgrade (MLU). 2008 To counter the threat from a PLAAF Chengdu J-10 squadron now based in Occupied Northern Australia, a squadron of brand new Lend-Lease F-16C/D Block 52 Plus aircraft are delivered to the RNZAF. These new aircraft are operated by No. 75 Squadron who hand their Block 40 F-16CM Falcons over to No. 14 Squadron who in turn hand their Skyhawks over to No. 4 Territorial (Reserve) Squadron. 2009 The Free Royal Australian Air Force takes delivery of two squadrons of F/A-18F Super Hornets. The RAAF has also continued to operate the A/B model Hornet since the invasion with these aircraft now upgraded to the HUG 3.2 standard. 2013 The continued build up of PLAAF aircraft in occupied Australia has lead to the requirement for a third RNZAF Combat squadron. No .1 Squadron RNZAF is reactivated to take delivery of the newly built F-16D Advanced Block 52 Plus Fighting Falcons. The D model was chosen due to the advantages of a two man fighter crew learnt by the RAAF crews operating the Super Hornet in combat. 2014 The sudden appearance of the advanced Hongqi HQ-18/ S-300V SAM system on the border of occupied Australia in January has left the ANZAC Air Forces at a substantial tactical disadvantage. An urgent operational requirement was issued by the RNZAF to the USAF who responded by leasing a squadron of secondhand F-16CM Block 50 aircraft with the ASQ-213A HTS to New Zealand. The RNZAF has reactivated No. 30 Squadron to operate these aircraft. Today No. 2 Squadron (F-16AM/BM) is permanently based in New Zealand for local air/ maritime defense and the F-16 pilot training syllabus. No. 4 Territorial Squadron is likewise based in New Zealand for emergency point defense. Of the four F-16C/D squadrons (No. 1, No. 14, No. 30, No. 75) three are always based in Australia on Operations and one is rotated back to New Zealand for air defense and pre-deployment work up. The RNZAF has also established No. 8 Tactics Development/ Aggressor Flight which is a small flight based in New Zealand that operates one of each Block F-16 model in RNZAF service to develop air-to-air and air-ground tactics. The flight also operates two captured PLAAF aircraft as part of its air-to-air tactics development. Due to its in-depth understanding of enemy tactics the Flight also functions as an aggressor unit. Apart from combat aircraft the US has also supplied four E-3A Sentry AWACS aircraft to the RNZAF.

Amen!
