View File SF2_OpDarius_2022_F35_401TFG.zip Canadian 401 Tactical Fighter Group F-35 Lightning II Mod This mod requires Strike Fighters 2 and a working installation of the Operation Darius Mod available at the Combat Ace website: Strike Fighters 2 https://www.thirdwire.com Combat Ace https://www.combatace.com Direct Link to Operation Darius https://combatace.com/forums/topic/74627-operation-darius-final-part-1-of-4/ What Is It? This is a mod for Strike Fighters 2 and Operation Darius that adds the Canadian 401 Tactical Fighter Group to the squadron choices when flying the Operation Darius campaign. The original Operation Darius was limited to the CF18 as the Canadian Forces multi-role fighter. This mod adds the recently acquired F-35 Lightning II to Single Missions and the Operation Darius Campaign for Canadian Forces. Canada, having recently procured a number of F-35 jets for their fleet are replacing the aging CF18s with the stealth and tactically aware F-35A Lightning II. If you're a fan of this sim and the Lockheed-Martin jet, then this is your chance to try it if you'd prefer to play as the Canadians. What's Included? I've included textures with proper Canadian markings, including the official 401 Tactical Fighter Group's own patch on the tail fins. These are simply modded textures of one of the other squadrons texture packs, which were crafted by the Operation Darius team. I simply used their work and composited the 401 Patch and the appropriate Canadian insignias on the wings, tail and fuselage. I've included the original Photoshop layered files in case you want to alter the positioning of the "Canadian" elements on the textures. Installation: Simply copy the two folders: Campaigns and Objects to your Operation Darius mod directory which is located at: WinXP or earlier: .\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\[OpDarius] Vista/Win7/Win8/Win8.1/Win10/Win11 .\Users\<username>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\[OpDarius] where [OpDarius] is the name of the folder where you chose to install Operation Darius. When you do, it should asked if you want to a bunch of files replaces, just replace all and have done with it and once they're done copying, you should be ready to go. Thank you to the Combat Ace website, Thirdwire and to the Operation Darius team for making such a great addon for an already awesome jet simulator/trainer. Thank you to the Government of Canada for making the decision to upgrade our aging fleet of DEW line tasked multi-role fighters with the now mature F-35A, and of course Lockheed-Martin for such an awesome aircraft. Special thanks to the Canadian 401 Tactical Fighter Group. Shameless Plug I will post this file archive on Combat Ace, but also this file may be freely downloaded directly from my own Shhhh!

Anyone working or know that anyone working on update Operation Darius? I'm asking because Operation Darius needs to be updated to latest standard i.e RAF Tornado needs update on the loadout & It seems like the SAM/AAA is too effective I can't even reach the target before I get shotdown by SAM/AAA I can't remember having any trouble with that before the latest patches. Also the carrier ops need updating.
