Solomons campaign
By pcpilot in User Made Campaigns
***Solomons campaign Readme***
This is a "quick" and dirty little campaign for those who have made a Pacific war install. I wanted to do more than just single missions so researched how to make a camapign on my own. It was a little frustrating, but also quite rewarding and fun. I espesially liked the research part. Which brings to mind, this is not a strictly historical campaign. The units that are flyable did fight during the camapign but there are tons of details Im sure people could pick apart till the cows come home.
What you need...
To start with, the Solomons Version 3 terrain and wrenchs' planes readily available at combatace. You'll need the F4F-4, P-39/P400, P-38F, SBD-3 and SBD-5, F4U-1_TMF, A6M2, D3a Val, and Ki-43IIb packages from Wrench. He has done an OUTSTANDING job breathing new life into these models. Also the Betty G4M2 from armourdave. Add Starys' solomons and phillippines visual updates and wrenchs' pacific ships. I also added Kesselbrut's Pazific_GOP infantry and AAA units. Also look for the ShermanM4A3 and Type95 tanks, I forgot what the name of the pack I found them in but they are found at combatace.
If you want to add a little more "period" feel to this campaign, add my Menu music and Pacific AirWar menu screens, also found at combatace.
Just unzip this file into your C:\Users\Jeff\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 PAW folder, (or whatever you named your PAW install.)
Hope ya like 'em. Please let me know if there are any issues, I have not been able to test as thoroughly as I would like. These files are released under the CombatAce Freeware Licensing agreement. You are free to modify these files and use them as you wish as long as the files are not used in payware of any kind. If you use them, please remember to give credit.

AMX-1 for SF2
AMX-1 for SF2
This is Rafaels' AMX 2.0 and Miraclemans' AMX Nations Kit with updated file setup for SF2. It has been updated to SF2 file structure based on their work. The Nations Kit makes two seperate aircraft for the two nations flying the AMX, Italy and Brazil. I moved the three skins to the appropriate nation folders, so the Brazil skin is only used for the Brazilian AMX and the Italian skins for the Italian AMx and so forth. Only one skin uses a non-stock decal and that has had the proper folder added. I have also added the proper gun(s) and missile for each aircraft, 2 x 30mm and the MAA-1 Pirahna IRM for the Brazilian plane and a single 20mm vulcan for the Italian plane. The vector RWR has also been added to both planes.
I have re-done the hangar and loading screens to match the aircraft and its national air force; the AMI for the Italians and the FAB for the Brazilians. A userlist.ini has been added also.
Finally, both planes have chaff and flares added. There was little info on these components location and number but I found one photo of an AMX launching flares, one comment on a single website that mentioned 4 launchers, and another website comment that the flare loadout was 15 each launcher which I assume also applies to the chaff launchers. So I used that info to add what hopefully is a close approximation of the AMX chaff/flare capability. Hence, 4 launchers with 15 shots each for a total of 30 flares and 30 chaff.

This mission is based on the
modern sailors' biggest fear other than subs...the Russian Tupelov TU-22, NATO codenamed "Blinder". This platform could carry up to 3 of the devastating anti-ship AS-4 "kitchen" missiles, representing a huge and direct threat against US naval aircraft carriers.

Lavochkin LA-15 Fantail for SF2
*** LA15 for Strike Fighters 2 ***
This is Pasko and Column5's Lavochkin LA-15 model. It has been updated to SF2 file structure based completely on
their work. I have also added two LA-15 skins I made for this plane, added a different loading screen while
keeping the original if you prefer, and have removed the shadow file and its callout since they are no longer
needed, shadows showup just fine without the files! The plane has very basic avionics with no radar but a ranging
gunsight. A userlist.ini have also been included. All the Ini's have been updated also to KillerBee's file setup
including changing them all to Unicode for smoother gameplay. I have also added the Kor-vpa pilot from X-rays'
Excellent World Pilots pack. The original WW2 soviet pilot is included if you wish. Xrays' readme for his pilot is
included. And finally, the droptank for this bird is included and working!

SF2 updates pcpilot
To install, Just simply open the zip file and copy paste into your SF2 mods folder. It flies well in-game but
is not a turn and burn fighter; the F-86 can outturn it. It bleeds speed quickly in a turn. Its acceleration is
very similar to the F-86 also...slow.

BAE Hawk T1A for SF2
From the readme...
BAE Hawk T-1A for SF2
This is Russouk2002's BAE Hawk T-1A. It has been updated to SF2 file structure based completley on his work.I have also added the Hawk gunpod made by Russouk2002 to its store of weapons, updated its list of usable weapons, and have updated the file structure for its skin decals. The plane has very basic avionics with no radar but a ranging gunsight, but I have added an audio RWR. This required the addition of its own avionics.ini file. A loading screen and a userlist.ini have also been included. A missing cockpit file was replaced and un-needed files removed. The shadow format has been updated too.

Issues: Just two that I know of...
1.) The shadow has the long artifact to the ground at certain view angles. Just disable the shadow by reming out the lines in the Hawk T1A.ini like this...
///[shadow]
CastShadow=TRUE
ShadowCastDist=10000
MaxVisibleDistance=400
2.) There are no drop tanks for the Hawk that I can find.

Improved skin for Koni FFG
From the readme...
This is the "Improved" skin for the Koni fast frigate model for Strike Fighters made by Capun and Mikewhl. This is a semi-historical skin using some of the common Soviet naval colors and lettering. While its name is correct, its number is fictitious as I have been unable to ascertain with certainty the Soviet number for the Delphin. Ive also added weather deck paint, ships' boats are now painted,the main deck is colored like soviet ships, window glass is added, as are the forward weather break for the gun and the windlasses, and a red waterline added.

IL2FB Balaton Campaign
By pcpilot in IL2 Series Campaigns & Missions
From the readme...
This is a totally fictitious campaign involving the Balaton region map and the Player as a German pilot. You'll be flying first the B-239 Buffalo being used as a trainer, then the Bf-109E-4B Jabo fighter bomber. As you will quickly learn, this campaign came solely from my fertile imagination so if you are looking for history, you might try another campaign. Accurate history aside, if you are looking for a 37 mission campaign with varied missions and quick action, you've came to the right place. Ive tried to make each mission different and challenging without making the pilot fly 2 hours to get somewhere, or making the missions so tough you want to quit trying after doing the same mission 12 times.
This is a BETA release of this campaign. I would very much appreciate ANY feedback at all, positive, negative, contructive, destructive, or otherwise. Please let me know what you think. Thanks...

SF2 Menu screen Pack
-SF2 Menu screens and icons-
This pack includes all the menu screens and icons you need to turn SF2, or any version of Strike Fighters into a WW2 Pacific air war install. What it DOES NOT include are campaign or instant action inis, or the icons for the in-game map. I decided this pack was enough as there are already some excellent files of that nature available on CombatAce website. I highly recommend Baltikas' campaigns for a start. Also check out Dfangs' in-flight map icon packs located here... http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=1829
To install, simply un-pack the menu and flight folder into your SF2 mods located here for WinXP...
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2.
If You are running Vista or Win7, then this is the File Format.This is where you should find your "Mods" folder.
<User Name>/Saved Games/ThirdWire/StrikeFighters2 PAW/Menu
Also, for the initscreen, you need to do this...Go to your main install of the game. Mine is here...C:\Program Files (x86)\ThirdWire\Strike Fighters 2 PAW. Place the INITSCREEN.bmp in the Menu folder. Then, go back out of the menu folder and rename your StrikeFighters2.ini to whatever you have called your exe for your PAW install. Mine is StrikeFighters2 PAW.ini. I then opened the ini and added the following line under the [sTARTUP] heading...LoadingScreen=Menu\INITSCREEN.BMP. It should look like this...
[startup]
IntroMovieList=
LoadingScreen=Menu\INITSCREEN.BMP
StartupScreen=MainScreen
Keep in mind this isn't all the screens in the pack, just a sample. Hope ya like 'em. These files are released under the CombatAce Freeware Licensing agreement. You are free to modify these files and use them as you wish as long as the files are not used in payware of any kind. If you use them, please remeber to give credit.

B-25 Desert Camo
By pcpilot in SF1 DAT Mods
This is the "Desert Camo" skin for the B-25 models made by the "A" team. This skin represents an aircraft flown by the Mediterranean Air Forces during WW2, units unknown. This skin works with all versions of the B-25 released by Capun and his "A" Team. Anyone who wants to may feel free to add any appropriate decals to the aircraft. You just might want to share the effort with the community...:o)

Lavochkin LA-15 "Fantail" Soviet camo skin
By pcpilot in MIG-15 Fagot/LA-15 Fantail Skins
This is the "Soviet Camo" skin for the Lavochkin LA-15 "Fantail" aircraft model for Strike Fighters made by Pasko and Column5. I got tired of nothing more then plain metal. This is a fictitious skin using the common Soviet green and grey colors used by many of their WW2 aircraft. I also added gunport stains and modified the decals.ini to add the soviet insignia to the fuselage to more accurately reflect actual Soviet practice. By the way, as an aside...try this plane against the F-86 Sabre, makes for a good matchup ingame. Hope ya like it...

Pcpilots' Yak-15 YakPack
By pcpilot in Russian Air Force and Navy
This is the "YakPack Camo" skins for the Yak-15 Feather aircraft model for Strike Fighters made by Pasko. These two camo skins were never to my knowledge used on the Yak-15. All I have seen are single color (top view) aircraft like the 3 skins included by Pasko with the model. However, I thought it would be nice to make a couple camo pattern skins. And since this aircraft is really a modified late war propeller Yak, I figured a WW2 late war camo Yak pattern would be a nice place to start. I then also did a green MiG version of the same pattern. So the colors and patterns are authentic. You might consider this a "might have been" paint job if the plane had saw more extensive service and espesially combat in Korea. Which I might add is the install of SFP1 I use this plane in.
I also included the Yak-3 cockpit done by Kesslebrut. This is closer to the avionics used by a converted piston fighter which the yak-15 was than the A-4 Skyhawk cockpit used previously. I noticed I can also now see my Yak-15s' wings on either side were I couldnt previously with the A-4 'pit. The Yak-3 'pit is used with the Yak-3 model done by Pasko and Kesslebrut. Along with the Yak-3 cockpit, I included the Yak-3_cockpit.ini files.
UPDATE: Cocpit position tweak to realistic postion thanks to Charles. :)

****World War Two period music for SF2****
By pcpilot in Menu Music
****World War Two period music for SF2****
Ever since I first attempted a WW2 install for SF2 many moons ago, I have strove to make it as much "period" as possible. Of course, the music on each screen was modern and didnt fit in with WW2 in my estimation. I decided to try to locate some music from the era. Well, it wasnt hard at all! My first search located a wonderful plethora of websites and stations that still play and love the era and its music. It was all quite fun and interesting. Out of them all, my favorite has quickly become the VI corps music website located at http://www.6thcorpsmusic.us/. This is only a small part of a website put together by a woman in honor of her father who fought during WW2 in the 6th engineer corps.
I was able to download a number of songs from this website, my favorite being Glenn Miller, and convert them to .wav format for use in SF2. Install is simple. Just unzip the file into your StrikeFighters2 folder. Let it overwrite your menu folder. For the hangar music, I have included my hangarscreen.ini. As long as you havent extracted yours from your SF2 install for any other purpose, simply do nothing. If you have extrated it for whatever reason, its still simple. Just open the ini in a txt editor and add this...
BackgroundMusic=HangerMusic.wav
And there ya have it. Hope you enjoy this music as much as I do. If not, visit the VI corps website and download and convert your own favorites, it was fun! Of course, this is oriented towards U.S. tastes at the time. I'd love to see a German, British, or even Japanese version of menu music come out. The .mpg files can be converted here... http://media.io

You are free to modify these files and use them as you wish as long as the files are not used in payware of any kind. If you use them, please remember to give credit.

Blue Guards MiG-19S Skin
By pcpilot in Mig-19/J-6/F-6 Farmer Skins
This is the "Blue Guards" skin for the Strike Fighters MiG-19S. While this skin draws on some historical facets, it is basically a fictitious paint job for the MiG. I just wanted a nice skin, that looked authentic for the MiG-19 as there are few for this plane.

-6 Soviet pilots
-5 RAF pilots
-5 USAF pilots
-12 Japanese pilots
-8 Luftwaffe pilots

All but one of them are actual WW2 period pilots, many of them famous in their own country and notorious in their enemy's countries. Many of the story's associated with these pictures were quite compelling and often touching. So while your flying your sim and enjoying the fun of it all, remember the picture of the pilot you now use really was there.

MiG-19S Chinese Tigerstripe skin
By pcpilot in Mig-19/J-6/F-6 Farmer Skins
This is the "Tigerstripe" skin for the Strike Fighters MiG-19S. This is my third attempt at making a skin for SFP1. If you havent already made this plane flyable in SFP1, then visit MarcFighters or visit the SimHQ forums, and ask how to make it flyable; its easy.
This skin represents about 25 hours of work and is my first which draws on historical facets. It was a HUGE learning experiance. I wanted another nice camo skin, that was actually authentic for the MiG-19 as there are few for this plane. The entire paint job is modeled after a Chinese communist MiG-19/J-6 paintjob I found on the internet. This is from an unknown unit in the Chinese Peoples Republic Air Force.

AT-6D Texan Yellow Training skin
By pcpilot in US Navy and USMC
Want a little COLOR in SFP1/WOV? This is the "Yellow Training" skin for Bunyaps' AT-6D Texan/Harvard. This is my second attempt at making a skin for SFP1. While this skin draws on some historical facets, it is basically a fictitious paint job for the AT-6D. I just wanted a nice skin, that looked authentic. I adjusted the stock AT-6D decal placement to be more centered and added numbering decals and noseart. It looks good with any nations' markings on it. I also added Wrenchs' notes on adding lights to the Texan/Harvard. Hope ya like it... :)
Version 1.1 added dirty exhaust and tweaked the colors a bit.
NOTE: I figured out what the problem was with the prop disappearing after a moment. In the "Generic" skin folder for the AT-6D, select and copy the two files PropDiskFast and PropDiskSlow. Then paste them in the AT-6D folder itself, not in one of the skin folders. Viola! you now have prop.
