Very, very valuable resource for the flight sim games.  Really appreciate reading original content from John Boyd himself!

Very nice screens that actually work.  I just replaced the annoying InitScreen in Program Files (x86)\ThirdWire\Strike Fighters 2\Menu with the USAF Aggressor screen.  Me like a lot.

This is a nice, realistic repaint pak of the JASDF's C-130s.  Certainly a must-have for immersion.

I sincerely appreciate this modern addition to SF2.  They are good support aircraft to help write missions with.  I've had this aircraft for a while and sorry I didn't write a review sooner.

However I wish I could zoom out more.

Some requisite screenies:

Nice looking Soviet-era APC - just remember you need to put in a fix in the BTR-40_RU_DATA file and correct the MuzzlePosition, as here:

Quote

[MG]
SystemType = GUN
GunTypeName = 7.62MM_SGMB
MuzzlePosition = 0.00, 0.98, 2.13
MaxAmmo = 1250
TracerLoading = 6
BurstAmount = 12
EjectShells = TRUE

Otherwise you get this:

Instead of:

If you want some RAAF (Australian) action, this is your map.  I really like the updated map that lets you put fleets in the game...

This is a most rad adversary scheme.  Rather life-like both for the US Navy and to simulate 2020s Russian air forces.  Love dogfighting against it:

A logical livery addition to the SF2 universe.  Thank you.

Nice boats nicely modeled, but the Type 90 Ship-to-Ship Missiles have been found to attack land targets quite well not just ships.  

Also worth noting the gun isn't terribly effective against air targets either.

Just feel there's a bit of room for improvement between the two.

Attached are some in-action screenshots.

Fine target in SF2.  However, I wish the tail guns worked a bit better and there were more liveries & registry #s.  However, they have a good damage model as these pictures can attest:

Damn good Russian supersonic capable bomb & missile truck.  The guns on the back even work too.  Every simulation of the Russian Air Force after 1980 should have this in it!

The 3-d model is outstanding...

I've been using this cargo ship as part of my first mission pak.  The container ships look convincingly realistic and take a couple of hits from Russian/Soviet weapons to go down.  Very happy with the work here, hope for more ships - like JMSDF ships from the 2010s please - from this developer please.

Grateful for this important add-on to the F-35A.  This will be part of my Nihon Hitori 2020 (Japan Alone 2020) build!

Nice blue camo, the cockpit is OK.  Sure wish for more skins and thrust vectoring, especially the thrust vectoring - hence only four stars.  But a good build and a nice modern Russian jet.

Tried to use this, only worked once or twice for me.  But when working, creates some rather nice visuals of weapons firing from other aircraft.  In this case a Su-30 firing a surface attack missile!

Probably a good paint, but requires a file from the A-Team website.  Which makes creating a campaign or single mission pak for CombatAce impossible.  So 2 stars.

This class of destroyer is a rather wonderful addition to the SF2 fleet.  Multi-role but not too powerful like an AEGIS Destroyer.  Certainly relevant and necessary for almost any representation of the JMSDF in SF2.  The model is also made with great attention to detail.

Very awesome add-on to SF2.  This is a multi-role corvette packing anti-ship missiles, SAMs and AAA also in a compact package.  

The model also has great attention detail - even when blowing up:

Also blows up well in formation:

But when not dodging ASM-2s, the Nanuchka handles well in rough seas:

Much appreciate this tool for mission & campaign writers.  Helpful to have some guidelines and a template for making custom screens!  Thanks @Wrench!

Very nice to see someone make screens for a good map.  When I have time (after a certain campaign gets released), I'll be playing the Nellis map with these screens!

I don't see how you can mission build or campaign build without this pak.  Comes with realistic SAM trails and vehicles.  Very, very much what SF2 shoulda had at the outset, nicely done @eburger68!

Below are two screenshots of general examples...

This is a fine redo of the F-35A.  Really grateful to be able to fly a F-35 in SF2, but I do wish there was a fuel readout on the dashboard.  Hence four stars out of five.

That said, sadly somewhat aware the SF2 engine isn't as friendly for making cockpits as say... P3DV4 where you can click on the cockpit.  Do hope for this fixed please, and then a similar treatment on the F-35 B & C please.  Thanks.

I really like how through and detailed and accurate the F-15A/B/C/D/J Eagle pack is.  Covers USAF, US ANG, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Japan  plus aggressor & Tiger Meet paints - for starters.  Also comes with weapons too. 

Very good ground vehicles and also decently effective weapons platforms.  Happy to add them to a single mission set I'm making on the Kuril Islands map @Gepard made.

Below is a MLRS impact:

Below are the Patriot SAMs cooking off and then their site:

Finally, some short range air defenses...

Really like the visual model of this ship - but could use a Russian Navy flag and some help labeling each ship in the Russian fleet.  Hence four stars outta five.

Below are some pics of Udaloys in action and in the end, sinking:
