  1. SF2 Vietnam Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens and Music!

    SF2 Vietnam Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens and Music!
    By Viper
     
    Special thanks to Homefies and Spectre8750 for their contributions that led me here...
     
    This mod includes custom "Vietnam Era" themed menu screens, pilots and music. God willing, this is the final version!
     
    What's new?
     
    1) Cut and looped the menu music so they are smaller and loops nicely in the menu.
    2) Entended the loading wav so the sound doesn't cut out while the game is trying to load all the mods (LOL).
    3) Updated and completedly redid the Stock and Expanded Vietnam Campaign screens (More of this later).
    4) Changed, added and updated some of the menu screens! I can never leave well enough alone...sorry.
    5) PLus a couple of easter eggs...well not much of an easter egg...it's on the first screen...
     
    Campaign screens: There are two new folders in the package. 1) Campaigns and 2) !Optional...
     
    1) The "Campaigns" folder contain new images for the Vietnam Campaigns. This is optional, but I think they look better when in Campaign mode...
    2) The "!Optional" folder contain new images and INI files for the Vietnam Expand Air and Ground War. Read the "Read-Me" in that folder for more detail.
     
    Un-compress the package and browse the content. As usual, there are alot of alternate screens you may like better. If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up your CAMPAIGN, FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
     
    To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed CAMPAIGN, FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder. If you have the "Expanded Vietnam Air & Ground War" Package installed, take a look and copy the CAMPAIGNS folder in the "!Optional" folder into your mod folder as well. Don't forget to back up before loading any mods!
     
    My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...

  2. StrikeFighters2 Replacement Hi-Res Spash Screens

    StrikeFighters2 Hi-Res Replacement Spash Screens 
    By Viper
    Replacement spash (Initializing, Please Wait) screen for SF2. Uncompress the zip file and copy the *.bmp files into "<Your Install location>\Strike Fighters 2\Menu\" folder...where-ever you installed SF2.
    Simple install: Backup your "INITSCREEN.BMP" and  rename one of the new BMP you like to "INITSCREEN.BMP" and all your SF2 starts will show the new splash screen. 
    Complex Install: If you want each of your games to have a different splash screen...Back up and edit the <game>.ini file for the <game>.exe you want to change the splash screen for in the "<Your Install location>\Strike Fighters 2\" folder. Update the "LoadingScreen=" parm with the name of splash screen you want to display on start up: ex. "LoadingScreen=Menu\INITSCREEN (1).BMP".
    Note: If you copied the <game>.exe file to some other name, you have to copy the <game>.ini file to the same name as a the <game>.exe file. Also, the splash screen has to be a BMP file...PSD included so you can make your own. 
    Thanks to "Squid" for the idea and some elements from his screens!
    Enjoy!

  3. SF2 Israel Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens

    SF2 Israel Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens
    By Viper
     
    This mod includes custom Israeli Air Force (IDF) themed menu screens and pilots. No other (Hangar, Loading or Campaign) screens or INI files are changed. You should unzip the file and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better.
     
    If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up your MENU, FLIGHT and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
     
    To install, simply unzip and copy the Flight and Menu folder to your StrikeFighter2 Israel Mod folder.
     
    My Win97 folder was..(yours may be different)...

  4. SF2 NorthAtlantic "Top Gun" Themed Hi-Res 1920x1080 Menu Screens and Music!

    SF2 NorthAtlantic "Top Gun" Themed Hi-Res 1920x1080 Menu Screens and Music v7
    By Viper 05/17/2020
    Note: I removed all the nation sounds from this Menu packs for size reasons. If you intend to install the "VIPER63A HQ Menu Sounds" pack, please install that pack first. Installing the HQ Sound pack over the Menu pack may overwrite some of the menu specific music files. You can always re-install this menu pack to get the menu specific theme music back.
    I've seen some very nice screens in 1920x1080 mode, so I thought I'd give it try. So here is my "Top Gun" contribution! Special thanks to Homefies and Spectre8750 for their contributions that led me here...
    This mod includes custom "Top Gun" themed menu screens, pilots and music. I used the MENU INI files to reuse the music files for different menus. This reduces the size of the package as I don't have duplicates of the same music files for different menus. You should unzip the file and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better.
    If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up your FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
    To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder.

    By Viper 07/13/2015
     
    This pack contains alternate Hangar, Loading & Loadout images and sounds for Do335's "Wings Over Korea" full mod v1.1. If you don't already have the full pack, you can download Do335's "SF2 Wings Over Korea" mod pack here...
     
    Part 1: http://combatace.com/files/file/15221-wings-over-korea-1-of-3/

    Part 3: http://combatace.com/files/file/15587-wings-over-korea-3-of-3/
     
    The screens and sounds are more to "my" liking, nothing wrong with Do335's screens, just my preference and more friendly on the ears when wearing a headset. Download the pack, take a look and listen...let me know what you think.

    5) Alternate Jet engine and .50 cal gun sounds.
     
    ------------------------------------------------------
    * Installation...
    ------------------------------------------------------
     
    You can install the screens and sounds separately to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder...
     
    My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
     
    C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\Strikefighter2 Korea\
     
    1) If you choose to install the screens, I recommend that you back up your "...\Objects\Aircraft" folder in your SF2 KAW Mod folder. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
     
    Copy the contents of my "Alt_Screens" to your "Strikefighter2 Korea" mod folder.
     
    2) If you choose to install the sounds, I recommend that you back up your "Flight" and "Sounds" folders in your SF2 KAW Mod folder. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
     
    Copy the contents of my "Alt_Sounds" to your "Strikefighter2 Korea" mod folder.

  8. SF2 Jane's USAF Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens and Music!

    SF2 Jane's USAF Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens and Music!
    By Viper
     
    The Janes' Combat Flight Simulation Series! Every flight Sim'mer worth their wings remembers those! My favorite was the USAF! This package pays tribute to that old beautiful bird. It took me awhile to create this, so feedbacks and ratings would be highly appreciated...Enjoy!
     
    This mod includes custom "Jane's USAF" themed menu screens, pilots and music. This mod uses customized INI files to drive the sights and sounds of the Strike Fighter 2 interface to look like Jane's USAF.
     
    Unzip the package and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better (More on this later).
     
    If you choose to install this package, I recommend that you back up (copy) your FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this package into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
     
    * To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder. I designed this package for SF2 Europe, but it should work for all SF2 series games.
     
    My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
     
    C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Europe\
     
    * To remove, simply delete the active FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders and replace with the back up copies you made prior to the install.
     
    -----------------------------------------------------------------
    * Extras and additional info...
     
    In the MENU folder, you will find three (3) other folders...
     
    1) Alternates Folder - Contains "Alternate" Campaign, Options, Pilot, and Single Mission screens. If you like one of these better, just copy them to the main "MENU" folder and rename them to the correct names...
     
    CampaignScreen.jpg
    OptionsScreen.jpg
    PilotRecordScreen.jpg
    SingleMissionScreen.jpg
     
    ...for whichever files you are changing...
     
    2) Music-Jets Folder - Contains alternate sound package. If the default music is too much for you, just copy the contents of this file into the default "MENU" folder. Most of the music will be replaced with jet sounds.
     
    3) Music-On Folder - Contains the default INI files that will turn on all the music again.
     
    Enjoy!

  9. StrikeFighter2 World War II (ETO) Hi-Res 1920x1080 Menu Screens and Music!

    StrikeFighter2 World War II (ETO) Hi-Res 1920x1080 Menu Screens and Music!
    By Viper
     
    This mod includes custom "World War II" themed menu screens and pilots for the ETO package I hope someone will make in the future (if not already made that I don't know about). You should unzip the file and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better.
     
    If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up (make a copy of) your FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
     
    To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder.
     
    To remove, simply delete the FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders and rename the copies you made to FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders.
     
    My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit would be something like...
     
    C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\<Name of your ETO mod folder>\
     
    Enjoy!

  10. SF2 FirstEagles2 Silver Series Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens

    SF2 FirstEagles2 Hi-Res Silver Series 1024x768 Menu Screens
    By Viper
     
    This package contains a new version of my 1024x768 FE2 menus that are in the new Silver Border format like my 1920x1080 menus.
     
    This mod includes custom WWI Air War themed menu, campaign and pilot screens. No other (Hangar, Loading) screens or INI files are changed. You should unzip the file and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens (Inlcuding some vintage black/white version) I have in there that you might like better.
     
    If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up your MENU, FLIGHT, CAMPAIGNS and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
     
    To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed MENU, FLIGHT, CAMPAIGNS and PILOTDATA folders into your FirstEagles2 mod folder.
     
    Recommendation: I recommend that you RENAME your original MENU folder. The new copy from my package will then install cleanly and not conflict with any other mod you may have installed into the MENU folder.
     
    My Win97 folder was..(yours may be different)...

    This mod includes custom "vietnam Era" themed menu screens, pilots and (w/ 60s) music. You should unzip this package and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better.
    1) Backup (copy) your FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folder. I "highly" recommend that you (if you can) "RENAME" your Menu folder and let this mod create a new Menu folder for you. If you had installed any other menu mods, that may conflict with this Menu mod. 
    2) To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder. Don't forget to back up before loading any mods!
    My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win10 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...

  13. SF2 F-111F Aardvarks from USAF/E 48th Liberty Wing. The 492nd, 493rd, 494th and 495th TFS

    SF2 F-111F Aardvarks from USAF/E 48th Liberty Wing. The 492nd, 493rd, 494th and 495th TFS!
    By Viper with INIs by Fanatic Modder
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    This mod was intended as an update to FastCargo's Super Vark Package (See link below), but it can be a standalone mod if you just want the USAF F-111s included in this pack. If you want to install both packs, FastCargo's pack must be installed first as that is the older pack.
    You can get FastCargo's pack here...
    http://combatace.com/files/file/10425-f-111-super-vark-pack-version-24/
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    What's included in this mod pack?

    * F-111F Aardvarks from USAF/E 48th Liberty Wing. The 492nd, 493rd, 494th and 495th TFS!

    -------------------------------------------------------------
    Installation:
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    I recommend that you back up your mod folder (or just the Effects, \Objects\Aircraft\F-111F, and \Objects\Decals\F-111F folders). I just make a copy the mod folder, try the mod, if I like it, I delete the backup. If I don't, I delete the new/updated mod folder and rename the old backup/copy back to the original names to reset to my original setup.
    * To install, simply unzip and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder (the uncompressed "Effects and Objects" folders only) to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite.
    My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
    C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Europe\
    Note: You should be able to install this mod into any SF2 series, it doesn't have to be StrikeFighter2 Europe.
    * To remove, simply delete the active "Effects and Objects" folders and replace with the back up copies you made prior to the install.
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    Add F111 SoundList
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    Lastly, Read the "Add F111 SoundList.txt" readme file on updating your your "Flight\SoundList.ini" file with the custiom F-111 sound files included in this pack.
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    Thats it - Enjoy!

  14. SF2 F-111E Aardvarks USAF/E RAF Upper Heyford 20th TFW. The 55th, 77th and 79th TFS

    SF2 F-111E Aardvarks USAF/E RAF Upper Heyford 20th TFW. The 55th, 77th and 79th TFS!
    By Viper with INIs by Fanatic Modder
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    This mod was intended as an update to FastCargo's Super Vark Package (See link below), but it can be a standalone mod if you just want the USAF F-111s included in this pack. If you want to install both packs, FastCargo's pack must be installed first as that is the older pack.
    You can get FastCargo's pack here...

    -------------------------------------------------------------
    Installation:
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    I recommend that you back up your mod folder (or just the Effects, \Objects\Aircraft\F-111E, and \Objects\Decals\F-111E folders). I just make a copy the mod folder, try the mod, if I like it, I delete the backup. If I don't, I delete the new/updated mod folder and rename the old backup/copy back to the original names to reset to my original setup.
    * To install, simply unzip and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder (the uncompressed "Effects and Objects" folders only) to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite.
    My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
    C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Europe\
    Note: You should be able to install this mod into any SF2 series, it doesn't have to be StrikeFighter2 Europe.
    * To remove, simply delete the active "Effects and Objects" folders and replace with the back up copies you made prior to the install.
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    Add F111 SoundList
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    Lastly, Read the "Add F111 SoundList.txt" readme file on updating your your "Flight\SoundList.ini" file with the custiom F-111 sound files included in this pack.

  16. Strikefighters2 Europe Hi-Res 1920x1080 Menu Screens and Music!

    SF2 Europe Hi-Res 1920x1080 Menu Screens and Music v5
    By Viper 05/17/2020
    Note: I removed all the nation sounds from this Menu packs for size reasons. If you intend to install the "VIPER63A HQ Menu Sounds" pack, please install that pack first. Installing the HQ Sound pack over the Menu pack may overwrite some of the menu specific music files. You can always re-install this menu pack to get the menu specific theme music back.
    Unzip the package and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing to see what you're getting. If you choose to install this package, I recommend that you back up your FLIGHT, MENU, CAMPAIGNS and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this package into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
    * To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed CAMPAIGNS, FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder.

  20. SF2 TopGun F-14 Pilots: Maverick/Goose, Viper/Jester & Iceman/Slider!

    SF2 TopGun F-14 Pilots: Maverick/Goose, Viper/Jester & Iceman/Slider!
    By Viper 07/03/2015
     
    TopGun Pilots flies again in StrikeFighters 2!!!! Yep...nuff said.
     
    This mod will not update any existing SF2 files, but I recommend that you back up your mod folder (...\Objects\Pilots).
     
    There are 2 steps to this install...(Three counting backing up!)
     
    1) Copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" to your target mod folder. My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was, but yours my be different...
     
    C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic\
     
    * It will ask to overwrite, go ahead and overwrite. This mod should not change anything you already have installed - unless you, by some chance named something with the same names as I did. Hence the back up recommendation.
     
    NOTE: You should be able to install these pilots in SF2 game for most, if not all, jets. It doesn't have to be an F-14 or StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic. Have Mav and Goose fly and F-111?!! Enjoy!
     
    2) Locate and update the "data.ini" file of the jet you want these pilots installed in. In my example, I will update the "F-14A_82_DATA.INI" file located in...(again, your location may be different)...
     
    C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic\Objects\Aircraft\F-14A_82
     
    * In my example, I am updating the "F-14A_82_DATA.INI" file. In the target jet's folder, locate the "*DATA.INI" file. Edit the file in a text editor (Notepad) and "Find" the "Crew" section in the "*DATA.INI" file. In this section, there should be a [Pilot] and [CoPilot] (if the plane has a copilot. F-14's do) sub-section.
     
    * Look for the "PilotModelName=..." entry and update it with Maverick and Goose's info (it's the name of the folders and ini files you copied into ...\Objects\Pilots in Step 1).
     
    NOTE: All pilots and copilots in your flight for this plane will get this change...So if you have a wingman, Mav and Goose will show up there too...Sorry, this can't be helped...
     
    All available Pilots...
     
    TG_Maverick
    TG_Goose
     
    TG_Viper
    TG_Jester
     
    TG_Iceman
    TG_Slider
     
    Example...Installing Mavrick and Goose into the "F-14A_82_DATA.INI" file...

    That's it!!

  21. SF2 Upgraded F-16 Hangar, Loading and Loadout screens for F-16 Mod Packs By the Viper Team!

    SF2 Upgraded F-16 Hangar, Loading and Loadout screens for F-16 Mod Packs By the Viper Team!
    By Me (No relations to the Viper Team!)
     
    This is my upgraded F-16 Hangar, Loading and Loadout screens for most excellent F-16 Mods from "The Viper Team"'s (and one from dtmdragon - ADF) F-16 Mod packs. What I did was downloaded the F-16 packs from here...
     
    http://combatace.com/files/category/666-f-16/
     
    Then I combined them up. Upgraded all the Hangar, Loading, Loadout screen files. Then deleted everything but the Hangar, Loading, Loadout screen files to keep the folder structure. In theory, you should be able to copy my pack into your SF2 Mod folder, BUT I CAN'T RECOMMEND THAT since I don't know what F-16 you installed or how.
     
    * Why did I do this?
     
    I must be OCD, but I like all my Hangar and Loading screens to have the same format. I tried to match most of the plane to actual pix of planes for the Hangar and Loading screen. In many of the cases, I has to use generic planes because I could not find a decent picture of the plane.
     
    Ok, this install is abit more complicated than my other mod/update/upgrades, but it's worth it. Well it was worth it for me.
     
    * What is included in this pack:
     
    *HANGAR.JPG
    *LOADING.JPG
    *LOADOUT.TGA
    *NOTHING ELSE, NO LODS, SKINS, INIs....etc.
     
    * What is changed:
     
    Upgrades F-16 Hangar, Loading and Loadout screens in "...\Objects\Aircraft" only!
     
    Installation:

    * BEFORE YOU OVERWRITE ANYTHING - BACKUP!!!!
     
    1) Sniper approach...
     
    Take a look in my "*\To_Mod_Folder\Objects\Aircraft" folder. If you see a plane you have and want to upgrade with my screens, copy the screen files, one at a time, to your plane in your SF2 "...\Objects\Aircraft" Mod folder.
     
    2) Shotgun approach...
     
    Backup your SF2 ""...\Objects\Aircraft" mod folder, and then copy the contents of my "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your SF2 mod folder. If you don't have the plane I have, you will just get some extra folders in your SF2 mod folder and waste some space. If something goes nuts, then you have your backup? Right?
     
    That's pretty much it...If I can sell (free, not money or anything - LOL) "The Viper Team" on these screens, it would just come "The Viper Team'S" F-16 packs...LOL, not pushing anything...just wishing. Love your work!!
     
    ------------------------------------------
    Credits to "the Viper Team" for their Excellent F-16 Mods. Also and again, I have no associations with the Viper Team. We jut share the name and the admiration for F-16s - that is all.
     
    Enjoy!

    By Viper 2015/08/06
     
    These are upgraded/Alternate Hangar, Loading, and Loadout Screens for EricJ's Super Hornet Package for SF2 v3.8 3.7 package and new <Aircraft>.ini files to read them. It was released by EricJ and can be downloaded here. If EricJ saw fit to add this to his, I would be grateful.
     
    Super Hornet Package for SF2 v3.8 3.7
     
    http://combatace.com/files/file/9401-super-hornet-package-for-sf2-v38/
     
    These replaces/adds to EricJ's package (STOCK ONLY) released on 11 Jan 2015. This (my) package DOES NOT include any LODs or other files from EricJ. It does include a new <AirCraft>.ini files so the right screens are read for display.
     
    First!!! Always backup F/A-18s in your "...\Objects\Aircraft" folder. To install, copy the new "Airctaft" folder into your mod "Objects" folder. Overwrite and you're done.
     
    Enjoy!

  23. SF2 Area 51 Test Pilot Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens!

    SF2 Area 51 Test Pilot Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens!
    By Viper
     
    So, I do a lot of mod testing, I hate testing a new mod on an existing install I play on, so I have a dedicated install using the Nellis Terrain pack for testing new mods. This is the menu screens I use for that install. However, you can use these screens for any SF2 series if you like.
     
    1) Creating a new mod install...First, you need to create a new Tester Mod game and folder. You can use any SF2 Series Game as a base. In your install folder (the merged Thirdwire folder), copy and renamed "StrikeFighter2 Europe" (exe and ini file) to "StrikeFighter2 Area51" (I used "StrikeFighter2 Europe" for my tester base - you don't have to). Run it to create the "Saved Game" mod folder.
     
    2) Unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders from this package to your new StrikeFighter2 mod folder.
     
    My StrikeFighter2 mod folder on Win7 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
     
    C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Area51\
     
    3) To remove the new mod folder, just delete it and you're done. If you want to reset your tester install, rerun "StrikeFighter2 Area51" and copy the menus back into the reset mod folder.
     
    4) Test more mods in a new clean tester install...
     
    Enjoy!

  24. SF2 F-16C/D Block 60 Fictional USAF Squadrons.

    SF2 F-16C/D Block 60 Fictional USAF Squadrons.
    Viper63a
     
    There are rumors swirling around that the USAF will be upgrading their aging, but much needed F-16 Falcons. I knew about Spudknocker's UAE F16E/Fs and Dtmdragon's New Zealand F-16C/Ds with CFTs, but why should they have all the fun? Here are some USAF F-16C(E)/D(F) Falcon Avengers!
     
    Enjoy!
     
    ------------------------------------------
     
    Please read this entire readme (at least the Installations section) before you attempt to install this mod! This mod is complete in it's own, but their are some options you need to be aware of.
    This mod was created using all, many or some elements from the following mods listed below. I just repainted and mixed some stuff around - ALL CREDIT GOES to these people and the faithful modders on CombatAce...
     
    * First and foremost - The Viper Team's F-16 Package.
    * Spudknocker's F-16E/F Block 60 Desert Falcon mod.
    * Dtmdragon's New Zealand F-16C/D Block 52+ mod.
     
    This mod includes...
     
    - USAF F-16C (E) Block 60 Squadrons:
    13th FS "Panthers", 35th FW Misawa AFB
    14th FS "Samurais", 35th FW Misawa AFB
    16th WS "Tomahawks", 57th WG Nellis AFB

    17th WS "Hooters", 57th WG Nellis AFB
    422nd TS "Green Bats", 53rd WG Nellis AFB
     
    ------------------------------------------
     
    Note: This mod was tested only in a fully merged SF2 install...
     
    Main Mod in "To_Mod_Folder" folder.
    * All new skins created using the Viper Team's F-16 skin templates.
    * All new tail number decals 010 > 099 for years 2014 > 2018.
    * All new color squadron, wing and command patch shield decals.
    * All New Hangar, Loading and Load Out files.
    * Updated/Modified (minor tweaks) to the INI and some TGA files.
    * Includes a subset of (Viper Team) Weapons for use with this pack.
    * All jets sounds were reset to default to reduce conflicts.
     
    Optional (but not really) in "Optional_Effects" Folder.
    * Updated AB flame, exhaust smoke, missile emitters.
     
    ------------------------------------------
     
    Note! BACKUP your EFFECTS, FLIGHT and OBJECTS folders! Saves a lot of heart-ache and time!
    Note! My Mod folder looks something like this...your may/will be different...
     
    C:\Users\<MyName>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters <XXXXX>
     
    Installations: So here we go...there are 3 ways to install this mod...
     
    1) Cowboy (also called the "Damn the torpedoes!") method...
    * You backed up, right? This method changes some common effects shared by all planes.
    * Unzip the new mod and copy the contents in the "To_Mod_Folder" and "Optional_Effects" to your SF2 mod folder.
    * Overwrite when prompted.
    * You're done, see if you like the new planes and effects.
     
    2) Veteran Viper Pilot method...(You already have Viper Team F-16's installed)...
    * Even veterans know they need to backup...Right?
    * Unzip the new mod and >> COPY ONLY << the contents in the "To_Mod_Folder" to your SF2 mod folder.
    * Overwrite when prompted.
    * If you want to try out my new optional effects, copy the contents in the "Optional_Effects" folder to your SF2 mod folder. These are common effects that affects most planes in the game...this is why these are optional.
    * Overwrite when prompted.
    * You're done, see if you like the new mods.
     
    3) Who is the "Viper Team" method...(WELCOME ABOARD!)...

    * Overwrite when prompted.
    * If you want to try out my new optional effects, copy the contents in the "Optional_Effects" folder to your SF2 mod folder. These are common effects that affects most planes in the game...this is why these are optional.
    * Overwrite when prompted.
    * You're done, see if you like the new mods.

  25. SF2 USAF Red Flag Nellis AFB Proving Grounds

    SF2 USAF Red Flag Nellis AFB Proving Grounds
    Viper63a
     
    This is my mod install for testing new aircrafts, objects and weapons. Once installed, I backup/zip the whole mod folder so I can reset it after testing whatever mod I am testing. It's also a Red Flag simulator. So if you want to take your favorite plane to Red Flag, here you go!
     
    Red Flag Nellis AFB is a stripped down Strikefighter2 installation based in Nellis AFB with only a handful of flyable planes against the pre-loaded USAF F-15s/16s and Navy A-4s/F-5s/F-14s Aggressors (All AIs). There are no Campaigns, only Instant Action and Single Missions. I recommend setting the Enemy AI to "Hard" to get the most out of this install.
     
    I added, tweaked, adjusted and created new items for this mod, but the lions share of this mod was created by other faithful modders on CombatAce - ALL CREDITS TO THEM! Thank you!
     
    This mod is an expansion for "Hurc's Nellis Range Mod 2.0" mod, so you will need that mod as well...

    http://combatace.com/files/file/12573-hurcs-nellis-range-mod/
     
    Enjoy!
    *******************************************************************************
     
    Installation for fully merge installs only...Using SF2 Europe as an example.
     
    * Creating a new "StrikeFighters2 Nellis" Mod Folder:
    In the "C:\...\Thirdwire\" folder..
    1) Copy "StrikeFighters2 Europe.exe" to "StrikeFighters2 Nellis.exe"
    2) Copy "StrikeFighters2 Europe.ini" to "StrikeFighters2 Nellis.ini"
    3) Create a short cut of "StrikeFighters2 Nellis.exe" on your desktop.
    4) Run the "StrikeFighters2 Nellis.exe" short cut. Once the game starts, Exit.
    5) You have now created a new "StrikeFighters2 Nellis" mod folder in \user\...\Saved Games\...
     
    Mine looks like this...Yours may/will look different.
    C:\Users\<Your_Name>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Nellis\
     
    * Download and install "Hurc's Nellis Range Mod 2.0":
    1) If you haven't already - download, uncompress and install "Nellis Range 2.0" into your new SF2 Nellis Mod Folder.
     
    http://combatace.com/files/file/12573-hurcs-nellis-range-mod/
     
    2) Run the "StrikeFighters2 Nellis" short cut to start the game.
    3) In the Single Missision Menu, Ensure\Select the F-15A and the Nellis Terrain. Exit Menu to Main.
    4) Optional, set up the Pilot and Options menus to your liking or do this later. Exit Menu to Main.
    5) Exit from Main.
     
    * Configure and install the "Red Flag Nellis" Mod:
    In the "C:\Users\<Your_Name>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Nellis\" folder...
    1) Under the "Objects" folder, delete both "Aircraft" and "Decals" folders.
    2) Uncompress "USAF RED FLAG..." zip file...
    3) Copy the contents of "To_Mod_Folder" to your SF2 Nellis Mod Folder. Overwrite.
     
    * Last steps...
    1) Copy the "INITNELLIS.BMP" file from the new "Red Flag Nellis" Mod folder to "C:\...\Thirdwire\Menu" folder...
    2) Edit "C:\...\Thirdwire\StrikeFighters2 Nellis.ini"...
    a) Under [startup], change "LoadingScreen=" from "Menu\INITSCREEN.BMP" to "Menu\INITNELLIS.BMP". Save.
    3) Edit "C:\Users\<Your_Name>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Nellis\Options.ini" file.
    a) Under [instantAction], change "MissionMap=" from "GermanyCE" to "NELLIS_RANGE". Save.
     
    * Now you have completed the install of the "USAF Red Flag Nellis AFB" and "Nellis Range" mod packs.
    * I recommend setting the Enemy AI to "Hard" to get the most of this pack.
    * Install any new or your favorite plane mods to test at the Nellis AFB.
