The ODS Dev team is proud to announce the second official release of Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition, now reaching version 0.9.5. Six months had passed since the first release of January 17th 2021, six months in which the development team did not rest, producing a wealth of tweaks, bug fixes and exclusive, brand new additions to this comprehensive package. Unwanted bugs found their way in the January release, due to time constraints and the team wanting to meet the deadline in time for the 30th anniversary of this historic operation. Now we offer a much more refined and expanded experience, with quality of life improvements and welcome bonuses. Be sure to read the massive (albeit summarized) change log (Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary Edition - Early Access) to learn more about all of the efforts that went into this new release. The package is free for download to all official Modders and Subscribers of the site. Those whose 2021 6-month subscription plans expired have been granted access to the package at no extra cost. Users who acquired the mod via a 1-month subscription plan will have to renew it for access to this brand new release. CombatACE.com admins thank you for your support towards the monthly costs of the site. From the Official announcement:

The original flight model was made by Fubar512 but modified by me. It is designed for and works in the SF2 series of games. VERSION NOTES ------------- This package is as close as I could get to representing the F-117A in service with the USAF at the time of Operation Desert Storm. There are some parts which I have compromised the detail on or removed all together in order to achieve an acceptable level of detail without reducing game performance or increasing development time. An example of this is the arrestor hook. The real F-117A has a door that jettisons when the hook is deployed. I have modelled the door to open and close so consequently, the hook is retractable. Animation Key #1 to open/close the refuel door. Animation Key #2 to extend/retract the COMM and NAV antennas. Animation Key #10 to open/close the canopy. Weapon bay doors are automatic on weapon release. Brake chute will only deploy while on the ground, below 100kts and with the airbrake extended. The ejection seat included in this package comes from ravenclaw's ACES II Ejection Seat for A-10 vers. 1.0 so all the credit goes to him. The original package is available for download from: http://combatace.com/files/file/12472-aces-ii-ejection-seat-for-a-10/ INSTALLATION ------------ Very simple, extract the files from the archive to your C:\Users\*NAME*\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 folder. Next, You will need to add the following to your Squadronlist.ini file which should be in your Flight AND Pilot Data folders. This is so the Unit Names show up. (*NOTE* This is not essential). Make sure the XXX is replaced with the next number in sequence in your file: [SquadronXXX] Name=415TFS DisplayName=415th TFS Nightstalkers Nation=USAF The 416th TFS should already be in your Squadronlist.ini, but if not, add the following: [SquadronXXX] Name=416TFS DisplayName=416th TFS Silver Knights Nation=USAF *NOTE* If you do not have a Squadronlist.ini file in your Flight folder you will need to extract it from the MissionData001.CAT file in your Flight folder using the CatPack utility. That's it. You will need Diego's MODUSAF pilot skin for the pilot, or you can use whatever skin you like by editing the F-117A_Data.ini file. REMOVAL ------- Reverse the above steps. CREDITS ------- Aircraft, Cockpit, Skins, Decals and .ini work - Me FM - Fubar512 (with some modifications by me) ACESII Ejection seat - ravenclaw Pilot skin - Old Diego Testing - The ODS team THANKS ------ A MASSIVE thanks to Crusader for all his very useful reference material and support without which this package could not exist! Thanks to all on the forum for their continuing and always useful support. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have had making it.
