He will be sorely missed.A great musician and an even better person .Deep Purple is still and will always be one the greatest bands to ever exist.

There are a lot of editors available.I use Gimp.Real easy to use and ideal for editing SF2 skins.

Our only Mirages which are still in service are the III EP and the 5PA3 Variants(both Upgraded under Project ROSE).By 2015,they will all be replaced by the JF-17B.

HAHA!Third Wire must hate you now!Anyway I checked your mods.Magnificent!!

Nice!The Decals make it look like a Chinese MIG.

Can't decide...HHHHNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!Anyway thanks for the info.

Thanks!Yup,was thinking about getting the DLC.Don't see any point now.But,maybe I'll just pick up the Omani Hunter.Again,Thank you.

Hi everyone.What are the differences between the cockpits of the DLC Mirage III and the standard Mirage III CJ in SF2:I?

But thats for the old sfp1 model right?

All right,I'll Admit it!!Even I was not satisfied with my old F-16 Skins!So,I decided I would start all over,this time,giving the textures more detail.These new skins would have nothing to do with my old ones and have been completely rebuilt.These new skins should have at least an 80% improvement over my previous ones.Panel lines are now much clearly visible,camo pattern is shaped correctly and tail numbers will be real too.I've decided to represent the F-16s of the PAF which were overhauled by the TAI in Turkey(Thanks Guys!).These jets went straight from Blk 15 to Blk 52. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Note:Ignore the tail nums on the tail in the second shot.The upper numbers are the ones I forgot to remove.

Looks very real!Nice.

Thanks for the reply and good luck!

Great mod!But,could you use a better pilot figure or texture?PAF pilots never wore the orange flight suit but an olive green one.Also,if you are planning on making the Version used by our navy,then make sure that the underside has a sky blue shade.Aside from these,I can't wait for this mod!And on a side-note,which cockpit are you going to go with?

Thanks for the Heads up brother.Damn,now I wilI will have to save Campaigns.....'The Old way'!

Hi everyone!I don't know if this question has been asked before but where does the saved file from the Campaign customiser go?The mission editor saves files in the missions folder what about the campaigns? Thanks in Advance; Lazarus

Nice!

View File F-4F Dhimar Dhimari Air Force F-4F Phantom II For SF2 Full 5-merged(or at minimum SF2 and SF2:E) Backstory: Just before the start of Desert Fury 2 in 1981,extremists in Dhimar tried to bring about a political as well as a religious revolution.The revolution was easily put down due to a lack of support by the local population.However,the idea of the revolution had indoctrinated Dhimari military leaders and senior officers as they would have greater freedom than they could ever imagine,if the revolution had succeeded.Immediately after the end of Operation Desert Fury 2,the Dhimari Monarch ordered a reshuffling of his military's command structure.However,the problem was found to be so widespread that this did not yield any significant results.This was proven just two months later when three high ranking generals were found to be plotting a coup to overthrow the Monarch and his government.The United States,Dhimars largest supplier of military hardware,was now facing a crisis.The United States could go with Two options: A)Assassination and/or abduction of all radical military as well as civilian elements.This option would cause a political fallout and the revolution,could begin again and reach it's conclusion,as a possible consequence. B)Control all military Aid to Dhimar and deploy US ARMY Psychological operations elements to change the mindset of ther Populace.This option,though a less effective one could control the situation in the long run. President Ronald Reagen and his administration were divided on which option to take.However,Ronald Reagen gave the order to hold any decision until his direct permission was given. September,18,1983 11:20am: Paran's independence as well as National day.On this day the local populace were to be treated to a parade and an aerial display by the Parani Air Force's Display team made up of MirageIIIP aircraft left over from the war.Exactly 11 minutes after take off,the flight of mirages went into formation to perform 'The Piercing Heart'.As the aircraft were pulling down,three of them were struck by AIM-7F Sparrow Radar Guided Missles fired at long range by Dhimari F-4E and F-4D aircraft.This caused a chain reaction of events.The destroyed aircraft collided with other aircraft in the formation,causing more crashes and some of the debris fell on the ground parade.The total death toll numbered 70(13 pilots,10 civilians and 47 Troops involved in the parade). This was the biggest violation of peace after the war.The paranis,still suffering from the after effects of the war were unable to retaliate.For them,this was a day of Tragedy and sorrow.A month of mourning for the Paranis was announced by their government.Sadly,they also were unable to recover the remains of one of their pilots whose Mirages had fallen near the Dhimar-Paran Border and were now in possession of the Dhimari Army. September,18,1983 12:00am: After the news of the attack had gone worldwide,the Reagen administration had made up it's mind and had decided on plan A.However,Ronald Reagen,knowing that such action could accelerate to a full scale war, gave the order to deploy the US Army's 101st and the Rangers to Dhimar to take control of all their main Airbases.This force would be further assisted by a US Marines MEU(Marine Expeditionary Unit) for their infiltration into Dhimar. September,18,1983 12:30am: Elements of the US Army's Rangers and the Marines,stationed in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia were ready to leave for the States.Suddenly,they were given the drill command and after everything was ready,were briefed on their new assignment. September,18,1983 12:45am: The Marines were to enter Dhimar through the coast while the 101st was to be deployed by 3 MC-130P cargo/transport Aircraft.The invasion was a success with only 12 casualties,a Dhimari tank team which refused to surrender.The Monarch,whose palace had been under siege for the past 5 hours was now free.On his command,the traitors were executed,publicly. The United States now initiated a plan to control Dhimar's military aid.The US Army set up a base where a Psyops Battalion was stationed.US pilots were flown to Dhimar from where they flew most of the Dhimari Phantoms to the AMARC at Davis Monthan-Airforce Base in Arizona.These Phantoms would be assigned to Air National Guard Squadrons while a select few were to be Converted to The advanced F-4GE Wild Weasel. Now,the United States needed a new aircraft to allow Dhimar air defence capabilities only inside it's own borders.Since Dhimar was under sanction by many European nations,it could not get a new aircraft type.Germany,which was in the process of replacing her fleet of Phantoms with the Tornado F3 offered to donate two squadrons of stripped watered down F-4Fs.These Phantoms could only be armed with short range AIM-9 sidewinder missiles and a single ALQ-101 ECM pod.This aircraft was the ideal replacement to keep Dhimar under control and to prevent any other violations such as the one on 18 September 1983. The problem of the rogue Dhimari military may be over but,the mindset of the populace is still at large. The mod: This mod represents the F-4F Phantom II aircraft as described above. Paint schemes include: 1.Dhimari Air Defence Blue 2.Dhimari two tone Grey 3.Dhimari Grey-Green Camo Installation: After extracting F-4F_Dhimar,paste the objects folder inside your SF2 Mods Folder.Note:If you do not know anything about the mod folder,the immediately stop the installation,go to the COmbatACE Forums,Go to the Strike Fighters 2 Knowledge Base and take a look at the thread explaining the Strike Fighters 2 mod folder mechanism.

Thanks!

This mod was never meant to be completely accurate.The Viper Team never released a Block 15 version so this is the closest I could get.I only made these skins so that players would have a PAF F-16 to fly.After all....I ain't no pro modder. Anyways....Thanks for your concerns and many safe landings. Regards; Lazarus

View File SF2 PAF Fighting Falcon PAF F-16A for SF2 This mod represents the F-16A Fighting Falcon in use with the Pakistan Airforce Since 1982. Overview: Pakistan recieved her first F-16 in 1982.A letter of agreement for up to 28 F-16A's and 12 F-16B's was signed December 1981. The contracts, Peace Gate I and Peace Gate II, were for 6 and 34 Block 15 models respectively which would be powered by the F100-PW-200 engine. The fist Peace Gate I aircraft was accepted at Fort Worth in October 1982. Two F-16A and four F-16B were delivered to Pakistan in 1983, the first F-16 arriving at PAF Base Sargodha (now known as PAF Base Mushaf) on 15 January 1983 flown by Squadron Leader Shahid Javed. The 34 remaining Peace Gate II aircraft were delivered between 1983 and 1987. Between May 1986 and November 1988,PAF F-16s have shot down at least eight intruders from Afghanistan. The first three of these (one Su-22, one probable Su-22, and one An-26) were shot down by two pilots from No. 9 Squadron. Pilots of No. 14 Squadron destroyed the remaining five intruders (two Su-22s, two MiG-23s, and one Su-25).[31] Most of these kills were by the AIM-9 Sidewinder, but at least one (a Su-22) was destroyed by cannon fire. Flight Lieutenant Khalid Mahmoud is credited with three of these kills. The Mod: This mod represents Five Skins,Two for the Aircraft credited with the kills on Soviet/Afghan Planes intruding Pakistan's Airspace.All the base textures were made by the viper team and were modified by me using Gimp 2.6.The textures include skins for: No.14 Squadron No.9 Squadron 'GRIFFINS' No.38 Tactical Air Wing(Afghan Kill) N0.38 Tactical Air Unit Modern No.9 "GRIFFINS' (Soviet/Afghan kill) Installation: This mod is only compatible with the F-16 model made by The Viper Team,specifically for their F-16C Block 25/30 pack.After unzipping PAF F-16A 1.0,place the contents of the zip file inside your objects folder located in your mod folder.When asked to overwrite,click yes.Important:You MUST have the F-16C Block25/30 by The Viper Team installed to use these textures.

Actually...thats true because a lot of the destroyed crafts fell inside Afghan territory.The pilots claim these as kills but,officially they are not recognised.There has been speculation that these kills were also not awarded since the pilots ventured inside Afghan airspace,breaking an important rule of engagement.Oh well,....I guess no one will ever know the truth.
