This is the "SEA Camo" skin for the B-58A Hustler aircraft model for Strike Fighters made by Pasko. The colors are authentic USAF colors though Ive not seen this color combination on any Hustler pictures other than a model aircraft picture included in the pack.

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.

SF2 updates pcpilot
 
 
To install, Just simply open the zip file and copy paste into your SF2 mods folder. It will use the stock pilot in the game. Weapons and drop tanks are all working to my knowledge. It flies well in-game so have fun.

This is the hangar pack for the F-84F Thunderstreak. It includes a 1024X768 bitmap hangar screen image, a jpg preview image, a F-84F loadout image, and an installation readme.

This is the "Ki-27 Nate Bare Metal " skin for the Ki-27 aircraft model VERSION 2 for Strike Fighters made by Wolf257. This skin represents aircraft flown by the 1st Chutai, 64th Sentai over China late 1939. The skin comes with its own set of numbers decals. An updated Data.ini file is included. This adjusted the machine gun armament firing position and the aircraft running lights position so they arent hanging out in the air anymore when you shoot or turn on your lights.

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. :)

Hope you enjoy a little more of a choice in faces. Have fun. This is my pilot photo edition 2, lol. Included are different 40 photos!
-6 Soviet pilots
-5 RAF pilots
-5 USAF pilots
-12 Japanese pilots
-8 Luftwaffe pilots
-2 USMC pilots
-2 USN pilotspilots are included. These pictures were garnered after a number of hours research online. 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.

*** 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.

This is the "Soviet Green" 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 so I made it for myself. Decided others might like a change too, so here ya go. I also resized the bmp files to a higher 1024X1024 so their a bit more hirez. This is a fictitious skin using the common Soviet green color used by many of their WW2 aircraft. Hope ya like it...

This is the screen pack for the A-1H/J Skyraider in Strike Fighters 2 by Thirdwire. I have included
Hangar and loading screens, and a loadout bitmap image. Add the following lines to your A-1J.ini...
 
[AircraftData]
AircraftFullName=A-1J Skyraider
AircraftShortName=A-1
AircraftDataFile=A-1J_data.ini
CockpitDataFile=A-1H_COCKPIT.INI

LoadoutImage=A1_loadout.bmp <------------------------
LoadoutFile=A-1J_loadout.ini
UserList=A-1J_UserList.ini
AvionicsDLL=Avionics60.dll
 
You will note I have also added a cockpit to this plane. Ive added the A-1H/J Skyraider cockpit By
CA_Stary available in the CombatAce downloads section for SF2 addon cockpits. I made these screens
for my own enjoyment but decided why not release them to the community also...I hope you enjoy them
and they add a little more "life" to your game. God bless. Jeff "pcpilot" Gerald

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...

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.

This "Super Pack" contains 1024X768 bitmap Hangar and Loading screens, a bitmap loadout image, a jpeg preview image, and a installation readme for the MiG-19S.

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.

This is the "Ki-27 Nate Dark Green Camo" skin for the Ki-27 aircraft model VERSION 2 for Strike Fighters made by Wolf257. This skin represents aircraft flown by members of the Kamikazi Corps in 1945, units unknown. The skin comes with its own set of numbers decals. An updated Data.ini file is included. This adjusted the machine gun armament firing position and the aircraft running lights position so they arent hanging out in the air anymore when you shoot or turn on your lights.

This is the "I-16 Mosca 4thGvIAP Baltic Fleet" skin for the I-16-10 model made by Wolf257. This skin represents aircraft flown by G.G.Guryakova of the 4thGvIAP Baltic Fleet during the winter of 1942. This skin comes with its own set of numbers and insignia decals.

This is the "I-16 Mosca Spanish Civil War" skin for the I-16-10 model made by Wolf257. This skin represents I-16 aircraft flown by Republican forces in 1936.

This is the "I-16 Mosca 71 IAP Camo" skin for the I-16-10 model made by Wolf257. This skin represents aircraft flown by V.P.Sagalaeva of the 71st IAP in defence of Leningrad in 1941. This skin comes with its own set of numbers and insignia decals.

This is the "Ki-27 Nate IJAAF White" Version 2 skin for the Ki-27 aircraft model VERSION 2 for Strike Fighters made by Wolf257. While this skin is ficticious, it does employ a LOT of authentic details. The reason being, I could not find a period color picture of a IJAAF aircraft painted in white. A lot of pics I looked at appeared to be white but its hard to tell with grainy black and white photos. The skin comes with its own set of numbers decals. An updated Data.ini file is included. This adjusted the machine gun armament firing position and the aircraft running lights position so they arent hanging out in the air anymore when you shoot or turn on your lights.

This is the "Bristol M1c late war " skin for the Bristol M1c aircraft model for Strike Fighters made by Sabre51. This skin represents an unknown wartime aircraft flown by the Royal Air Force during the Great War. This skin improves on the original skin included with this model by adding panel and framing lines.

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...

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.

-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
