    1. SF2 UH-1B Huey Slick & Hog Remod Pack

      SF2 UH-1B Huey Slick & Hog Remod Pack           9/14/2022
      -For SF2 (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)-
      This package contains remods of Pasko's 1stGen UH-1B helicopters, both the 'Slick' and 'Hog' gunships. These aircraft have been given unique name identifiers, as to not have the conflict with other mods of these same birds.
      I've collected just about all the 1stGen skins I could find for these, and created all new decals for them. Where possible, and discoverable, any serial/BuNums associated with a particular unit have been marked with a star (*). All serials ARE historically correct for the models depicted. In the case of the Canadian Hueys, no "(*) star" is used as the 10 serials ARE the 100% historically correct ones. This mod depicts several models of the UH-1B that are visually "pretty close" to each other. In truth, their minor differences won't effect gameplay in any way, shape or form. These are the UH-1B, UH-1C and UH-1E. Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins.
      UH-1B Slick ==
      US Army; early and late skins (dark or lighter OD)
      US Army Medevac: possibly representing 57th Medical Detachment
      USMC : VM0-2 "Cherry Deuce" (used both Slicks & Hogs)
      Canada: CF-118 3 skins covering their uses and from 1966 thru 1995 in their Search & Rescue and utility service.
      UH-1B/C/E Hog ==
      US Army; early and late skins (dark or lighter OD)
      US Navy: HAL-3 Seawolves
      USMC: HML-167 "Warriors, VMO-6 "Tomcats", 
      The sF2 'date switch' is fully active, so watch for it. Also included are (finally) damage textures, a destroyed model, all weapons, sounds, pilot figures and so forth. The "275rocket" is a stock 3W item, and therefore not included. FM is relatively untouched (ie: "as is"), so be aware. I'm sure further refinements of the FM are needed.
      On the aircraft selection drop-down menu, you'll see:
      UH-1B/C/E Huey "Slick" (P)
      UH-1B/C/E Huey "Hog" (P)
      Obviously, the "P" stands for Pasko.
      As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! Also =PLEASE= read the "Notes" section for information about Nation assignment for the American birds. Where possible, ALL original readmes have been included.
      Happy Landings!

    3. Sikorsky AH-60L Arpia IV

      Sikorsky AH-60L Arpia IV
      The UH-60L Arpía IV , also called simply Arpía , is a gunship helicopter developed by the Colombian Air Force , with Israeli advice from the UH-60L Black Hawk . As a result of the need for the Colombian Air Force to have a gunship helicopter as a means of deterrence against external enemies, the Arpía is essentially a UH-60L to which more equipment and weapons have been added both internally and externally.Currently, the Colombian Air Force has 12 aircraft.
      The Helicopter can fire Spike NLOS an Spike LR ATGM missiles, both in the inventory of the FAC, GAU-19 12.7 mm gatling guns, 70mm rocket pods.

      AH-1J_80 by yakarov79
      AH-64A by yakarov79

      Before install backup yout older files.
      All helicopters comes as separate install with all needed files (weapons, decals etc).
      I need more testers and more informations to finish this project.
      They will be part of bigger ODS 30 Anni helicopters pack.
      I added temporary CAS mission for Mi-8, to test AI attacks.
      Apache is using Helfires in fake pods, cause AI don't like guided missiles.
      You must rearm player helicopter for normal missiles before mission to have TV screen active.
       
      Pls, test these models and tell me your opinions.

    5. SF2 Bell TH1-L Huey Remod Pack

      SF2 Bell TH1-L Huey Remod Pack                    4/30/2021
      -For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Recommended)
      This is an update/remod back of the TH1-L Huey trainer as used by Helicopter Training Squadron 18 (HT-18) "Vigilant Eagles" from 1969 thru 1998(ish). The original SF1 upload, from 2005, has recieved something of an overhaul, mostly to the skin, and now with the addition of 100% historical BuNum (serials) and Modex/pennant numbers.
      Extensive research has allowed me to run down the full 45 aircraft production run, as used by both HT-8 and HT-18. All serials are 100% historically correct. when possible, they have been matched to their Modex/Pennant numbers. Those with the star (*) on the Number list are positives matches. Those without the star, could not be matched to a specific Modex.
      This is the full aircraft, with all necessary parts included (sounds, pilots, etc). A new Hangar Screen was created, as well as damage tgas and the addition of a destroyed model. The data ini has had the hit boxes corrected. The FM itself remains untouched from it's original "as issued" state. Be advised of continuing issues with helo FMs in SF2. The Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), shift/0 (zero) opens the sliding cabin doors.
      When in game, on the aircraft selection drop down you'll see:
      TH-1L Huey
      As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!! The full Change Log is also in the "Notes" section. The original release readme from 2005 is also included, for historical purposes.
      Happy Landings!

    6. SF2 Westland Whirlwind HAR Upgrade Pack

      SF2 Westland Whirlwind HAR Upgrade Pack                    4/19/2021
      -For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
      **NOTE: this is for the British built versions -0NLY-!!**
      This is major upgrade of the Westland Whirlwind (piston powered) as released by Strahi. Please be advised, if you have the original download, you will unfortunately have to delete it from your mods folder(s). THIS version is highly modified, with many additional items. If left as "drag & drop" over the original, there will be conflicts that might be unresolvable. Thus, the need for complete removal of the original. This has been approved by Strahi, to whom I extend great thanks!!
      The following services/units are covered. The first listing is the name of the skin folder itself. The rest is the description you will see on the skin selection dropdown on the Loadout Screen:
      Royal Air Force: 
      RAF1 - No.22 Sqdn, 55-62, overall yellow
      RAF2 - No.28 Sqdn, ?? date, Eurocamo*
      RAF3 - No.110 Sqdn, 1954, Kuala Lampur*
      JHU - Joint Helicopter Unit, HMS Ocean, Suez, 1956 
      Royal Navy:
      RN - 848 NAS, DGNB overall, early 50s
      RN2 - Ship's Flight, HMS Protector, 55-65, Antarctic Patrol
      RN3 - 848 NAS, HMS Bulwark, 1960s
      RN4 - 781 NAS, RNAS Yeovilton (Green Parrot)
      Suez - 848 NAS, HMS Albion, Suez 56
      JRV:
      YU - Soko Whirlwind, Yugoslavian Air Force, 1961

      *= be advised, these units MAY have had the later, turbine power marks. It's also possible some of those listed above, while still having serving piston-powered Whirlwinds, would have also recieved turbine power aircraft.
      The SF2 'date switch' is =NOT= used on any of the skins. I felt it would cause too many issues and confusions.
      Many painted on insignia and service markings remain as such. This is due to the minimal amount of meshes used to build the aircraft. All new serial number decals have been made for all included versions (up to 26 each). As is to be expected, while all are correct for the aircraft & services depicted, they are 'generic' in nature. When a unit's or service's serials HAVE been found, you'll see the star (*) in the number list dropdown. Decal randomization is TRUE. When possible, the RAF & RN squadron badges are used at the "patch" for viewing on the Loadout Screen
      On the aircraft selection drop down list, you'll see:
      Whirlwind HAR/HC (st)
      The (st) is for Strahi, and will diferentiate this Whirlwind for any others that may or may not exist. 
      As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!!
      Happy Landings!

      SF2 UH-19/HO4S/HRS Chickasaw Upgrade Pack                    4/12/2021
      -For SF2 =ONLY= (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
      **NOTE: this is for the American/non-British versions -0NLY-!! Upgrades for the Whirlwind will follow**
      This is major upgrade of the UH-19/HO4S/HRS as released by Strahi. Please be advised, if you have the original download, you will unfortunately have to delete it from your mods folder(s). THIS version is highly modified, with many additional items. If left as "drag & drop" over the original, there will be conflicts that might be unresolvable. Thus, the need for complete removal of the original. This has been approved by Strahi, to whom I extend great thanks!!
      For those interested, the following services/units are covered:
      US Air Force: 
      41st Air Rescue Squadron, Hamilton AFB (early/mid 1950s)
      US Navy:
      HU-1 "Pacific Fleet Angles" (c.1952, Korea)
      US Marines:
      HMR-161 "Greyhawks" (c.1952, Korea)
      US Army:
      6th Transportation Co. (H), (Korea)
      Generic Olive Drab overall
      Royal Canadian Navy:
      VH-21 (c.mid 1950s)
      Many painted on insignia and service markings remain as such. This is due to the minimal amount of meshes used to build the aircraft. All new serial number decals have been made for all included versions (up to 26 each). As is to be expected, while all are correct for the aircraft & services depicted, they are 'generic' in nature. When a unit's or service's serials HAVE been found, you'll see the star (*) in the number list dropdown. Decal randomization is TRUE.
      You will also be adding a new nation, "US ARMY", unless you have the Expanded Nations Mod by Menrva. Full instructions will be found in the INstall section below. If you do not wish to, you'll have to edit the texture set inis for the 2 Army skins back to "USAF". Game-wise, it won't matter either way.
      On the aircraft selection drop down list, you'll see:
      H-19 Chickasaw (st)
      The (st) is for Strahi, and will diferentiate this H-19 for any others that may or may not exist. In reality, it should read "H-19/HRS/HO4S", but what the hey! We all know what it is!
      As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!!
      You can expect the same treatment is being given to his Whirlwind pack, as well. It will be relased when finished.
      Good Hunting & Happy Landings!

    9. UH-1H IROQUOIS DECAL FIX

      Please find enclosed the fix for the missing decals for the Pakistani UH-1H for the cargo doors when a gunner is enabled, just replace the decals.ini file in all 3 colour schemes, it is exactly the same file for all 3 so just delete the old one and replace with this one, then we shall all be number enhanced 
       
      I apologise I should have fixed this from the start, however, after a quick chat with Yakarov79 I got on to it this morning, and corrected the error, quick and easy fix , as I suspected .

    10. UH-1H IROQUOIS (PAKISTAN)

      BELL UH1-H IROQUOIS
      PAKISTANI ARMY
       
      Using Yakarov79's excellent UH-1H I have created 3 new skins for the Pakistani Army, the first is the standard overall green, there is a grey/green camo scheme, and finally what appears to be the latest cam scheme which is sand/green/brown . I have included the whole package in this upload to make it easier to install as it needs really  to be installed separate from a general UH-1H installation, as it is a purely Pakistani machine. all the files needed are included, sounds, weapons, pilots etc etc . I have left the decals the same for all 3 schemes, as it appears that standard markings are commonplace on Pakistani aircraft. One thing to note though, is that when the gunners are enabled, it removes the numbering from the cargo doors, not a major issue at all, but I just thought you may need to know. also, the latest iterations of the Huey in Pakistani service appear to be armed with miniguns rather than M60's however I dont have the ability to adjust this , so the Pigs will have to suffice, I am not sure if this modification is for the newer Venoms, rather than the standard UH-1 , however, if it is possible to mod the gunners with the miniguns, that would be totally ace.
       
      As I said this model is originally from Yakarov79, so all the main, and important workings are his sterling work not mine, I have merely adapted it to reflect the Pakistan Army's aircraft.
       
      As always, any questions or issues/omissions, please feel free to message me. I hopefully will be doing more UH-1H's soon, in fact I have started working on them already, so wait out on that !! 
       
      Finally as always, ENJOY !!!

      It is designed for and works only in SF2 series. And will never work in SF1.

      CHANGES:
      I highly recommend to overwrite previous files decals/weapons/guns- or best is delete the old one and put new files.
      YOU NEED TO DELETE OLD AIRCRAFT FOLDERSfrom previous Yasur pack.  Many things were changed and as tested Overwriting may cause some problems...So delete old ones put new ones.
      The rest (except Aircraft folders) are same can be overwritten without fear.
      Small changes in ini files, corrections on fuel loadout, changes in cockpit ini. 
      Small changes in skins. Also No longer fake weapon "no gun" is needed - thanks to The Trooper. He pointed small fix in data.ini.
      Added simple bump and specular maps. Also added damage tgas.
      Major changes in the cockpit - now it is much more correct. Although probably not everyone cares ore will see a difference. Anyway.
       
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This is part that no one will read..but feels like I need to share this:
       
      This mod represents Sikorsky S-65 C-3 models used by Israeli Air Force
      History of Yasur in Israel air Force is somehow complicated. I was trying to represent all sub-models that served until now. (except yasur2025)
      S-65 was an export version based on HH-53C model.
       
      All serials are correct but not always represents specific units (although I've put a lot of effort to sort serials - and it's really hard as always in all Israeli serials from 60-80 period)
      I've split this pack into few sub-variants.
      Long story in short:
      Israel received the first batch S-65 C-3 in august 1970.(some sources give date 1969) already with two-digit numbers. Later re-serialed with added prefix 1 to numbers. This batch was called 'Series A'
      The second batch of Yasur helicopters was delivered in July 1971. 5 aircrafts with serials started with 2 (although for some time it carried prefix1) it's called 'Series B'.
      The third group consisted of 6 aircrafts were delivered between 1972-1973. Aircrafts received prefix 3 and were called 'Series C' also there were few differences in avionics and all 6 aircrafts were equipped with starlight nvg system.
      The fourth group was named 'Series D' and prefixed 4. Delivered after 1973 war. Eight helicopters from USMC surplus. The most prominent difference between S-65C-3 is an absence of refueling probe and auxiliary fuel tanks. Also different avionics and different armor plates in various points of the airframe. In the late 80s (probably) four of them were upgraded into late Yasur S-65 version called 'Series G' and serials prefixed 7,(aux fuel tanks and upgraded avionics).
      Other four remained unchanged to keep the ability to recover UAV (MARS method).
      Next fifth batch of 18(17) aircraft serials prefixed with 5 and 'called Series E' delivered somewhere in 1974-75 It was standard S-65C3 variant but with Titanium blades and again changes in avionics.
      Series six were two aircrafts purchased from Austria in May 1991. And prefixed 6. Right after delivery, it received all Yasur 2000 standard upgrades.
      Next and last batch of delivery is again USMC surplus CH-53A airframes delivered after Gulf War (April and September) 1991. Around 10 airworthy airframes. (Plus around 8 airframes in 1993 that were used as spare parts - not received serials nor designation) All aircraft were prefixed 8. And remain in service in standard USMC grey/black/green scheme, until some of them (seven) were designated for an upgrade to current Yasur standards.
       
      In 1992 IAF started Yasur 2000 program. During this upgrades, each helicopter that underwent conversion serial number was changed. S-65C3 plus two ex-Austrians received prefix 0. All other helicopters that were still in service were upgraded to Yasur 2000 variant and received prefix 9. (those are airframes of old CH-53A without aux fuel tanks and refueling probe) Visible difference is an addition of support braces on fuel tanks pylons.
      In game aircrafts will appear with following years of service:
       
      Yasur CH-53A Sea Stallion (1973-1992)
      Yasur S-65 C3 '69 (1969-1985)
      Yasur S-65 C3 '86 (1985-1992)
      Yasur 2000 (1993-2050)

      ANIMATION 4 - refueling probe
      ANIMATION 5 - nvg on some models
      Hook - changes position when refueling to see the tip of the spear.
      rescue op:
      Open "bomb bay" doors - cargo ramp and right side hatch/door
      ANIMATION 8 - Open side doors, lower jungle penetrator
      ANIMATION 9 - deploy PJ
      ANIMATION 10 - lower/raise hoist.
      Animation 8, 9 and 10 have a speed limit. So you can't hoist on full speed.
       
      With little practice, you can hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
      Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
      With heavy cargo load probably you need little run on A model as engines on A are little underpowered.
      Normally throttle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 70% then slowly more and more, wait and it will take off.
       
      Cockpits.
      new upgraded much more correct cockpits.
      Yasur 2000 pit is much more correct now.
      Few differences between models mostly in humps/bumps/sensors dispensers.
      Weapons.
      The only "offensive" weapon is left/right side gunner.
      Skins included covers several years of use in Israeli 3 color, first brown and late 80s light brown and unique USMC 3 clolor scheme.
      Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots.
      Have fun.
      Edit your way.
      And report bugs.

      CHANGES:
      I highly recommend to overwrite previous files decals/weapons/guns- or best is delete the old one and put new files.
      YOU NEED TO DELETE OLD AIRCRAFT FOLDERS CH-53Cand HH-53C and HH-53B from Vietnam pack.  Many things were changed and as tested Overwriting may cause some problems...So delete old ones put new ones.
      The rest (except Aircraft folders) are same can be overwritten without fear.
      Small changes in ini files, corrections on fuel loadout, changes in cockpit ini. 
      Small changes in skins. Also No longer fake weapon "no gun" is needed - thanks to The Trooper. He pointed small fix in data.ini.
      Added simple bump and specular maps. Also added damage tgas.
      Major changes in the cockpit - now it is much more correct. Although probably not everyone cares ore will see a difference. Anyway.

      ******************IMPORTANT******************
      FakePilot mod needed to run this mod. 
      As always.
      Standard animation commands HH-53 C:
      LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed.
      ANIMATION 1 - cargo ramp half open
      ANIMATION 2 - cabin windows
      ANIMATION 3 - wipers outside/inside
      ANIMATION 4 - refueling probe
      Hook - changes position when refueling to see the tip of the spear.
      rescue op:
      Open "bombbay" doors - cargo ramp and right side hatch/door
      ANIMATION 8 - Open side doors, lower jungle penetrator
      ANIMATION 9 - deploy PJ
      ANIMATION 10 - lower/raise hoist.

      Cockpits.
      One cockpit for HH-53C and CH-53C equipped with RWR and one cockpit for earlier non rwr HH-53B. Historically not all HH-53C airframes were equipped with RWR. BUt this mod covers RWR mod installed.
      Skins.
      All serial numbers are based on available photos and are historically correct and few versions of one unit for each helo.
      Few versions of one unit for each helo.
      CH-53C 21st SOS
      HH-53C 37th and 40th ARRS
      HH-53B 37th and 40th ARRS
      Weapons.
      The only "offensive" weapon is left/right side gunner equipped with GAU-2 minigun. Well, it is quite a defensive weapon.
      Unlike in pack 'Over Europe' here CH-53C can't be equipped with a refueling probe (small ini tweak will do the trick). 
      Fuel Tanks 450 US Gal. for CH-53C and HH-53C and 650 US Gal. for HH-53B
      There is a separate weapon station called SandyStation - with allowed all sort of offensive weapons. Purpose of this station is to fly with Sandy (or any other USAF aircraft) as wingman fully loaded. Same way can be added Sandy fuel tanks.
      IMPORTANT -
      Due to tu construction of this mod, it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard, you may have some complications on the airfield - especially with underslung cargo load.
       
      Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots.

      Two parking animations included one for 'on land base' and other for 'on board' parking.
      You can fold tail and rotor by enabling animation in data.ini  file. But it looks silly. And my intention for this animation was eye candy on board vessel.

To see Mk105 open cargo bay.

      Cargo loads.
      I am releasing this cargo load in the current condition. So maybe some skins needs to be adjusted.
      Cargo loads includes few cargo crates for cargo bay and hook, howitzer, MUTTs. Skins for MUTTS - Thank yo The Trooper.

      IMPORTANT - 
      Due to construction of this mod it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard, you may have some complications on the airfield - especially with underslung cargo load.

      This mod represents Sikorsky model of RH-53D. It was used mainly by US NAVY Mine countermeasure units. At the end, of service time RH-53D were passed to USMC reserve units, where served as transport/heavy lift helicopters. Some were still used during Desert Shield/Storm operations in 1991. Finally, RH-53D was written off from units in 1996.
      12 aircrafts were also ordered by Imperial Iranian Navy. Only six delivered before the revolution. Add then all six remained in the newly formed Islamic Republic of Iran Navy Aviation.

      The only "offensive" weapon is left/right side gunner. Well, I'm straffing convoys with it with great success.
      Important - if there is no gunner - fake weapon (no gun/empty) must be loaded. For now, it must be this way.
      Same as default should be loaded Mk103 minesweep. This is allowing top cargobays to be seen.

Of course, you can edit and use any other weapons available. Here is experimental Mk105 minesweeper sled different than in previous CH-53D pack. This one is only for RH-53D. To see Mk105 open cargo bay.
      Also, you can add refueling probe. At the beginning of service, this aircraft has only provisions for refueling probe.

      Cargo loads.
      I am releasing this cargo load in current condition. So maybe some skins needs to be adjusted.
      Cargo loads includes few cargo crates for cargo bay and hook, howitzer, MUTTs. Skins for MUTTS - Thank yo The Trooper.

      IMPORTANT - 
      Due to the construction of this mod it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard, you may have some complications on airfield - especially with underslung cargo load. 
      Skins.
      All serial numbers, as far as I know, are based on photos and US Army docs and are historically correct.
      US Navy
       - HMH-12 'Sea Dragons' 1977
       - HMH-16 'Seahawks' 1979 
       - HMH-14 'Vanguard'  1981
       - HMH-18 'Norsemen' 1987
       - VR-24 World's Biggest Little Airline, Helos on COD duties.

      USMC - special for use in Desert Storm mod if needed:
       - HMH-772 Det.A 
      Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots. 
      As bonus there is Eagle Claw folder -easy to find. Inside - skins for sand repainted RH-53D  - also replacement file for lod and deta.ini file -       this wil make EAPS dissapear. So backup original lod and data file before using Eagle Claw mod.  So yo were warned.

      Have fun.
      Edit and report bugs.

      Sikorsky CH-53D Ver 3.0 for SF2

      This mod represents a Late model of CH-53D with installed EAPS and auxiliary fuel tanks. I've split this model into two versions. Early with RWR blisters and AN/ALE-39 flare/chaff dispenser and late with some more blisters, new doubled CMD dispensers and ALQ-144 IR jammer on fuel tank pylons.
      Ant this will be the last model of Sea Stallion from me.

      CHANGES:
      I highly recommend to overwrite previous files decals/weapons/guns- or best is delete the old one and put new files.
      YOU NEED TO DELETE OLD AIRCRAFT FOLDERS CH-53A and CH-53D_70. Many things were changed and as tested Overwriting may cause some problems...So delete old ones put new ones.
      The rest (except Aircraft folders) are same can be overwritten without fear...
      Small changes in ini files, corrections on fuel loadout, changes in cockpit ini. 
      Small changes in skins. Also No longer fake weapon "no gun" is needed - thanks to The Trooper. He pointed small fix in data.ini.
      Added simple bump and specular maps. Also added damage tgas.
      Some changes and rearrangement in the cockpit

      ******************IMPORTANT******************
      FAkePilot mod neede to run this mod. 
      As always.
      This addon works with my CargoPACK (included in rar file). All of the weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course, you can edit and use any other weapons available. 
      Standard commands:

      LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. 
      ANIMATION 1 - right side hatch and door.
      ANIMATION 2 - left hatch cabin windows
      ANIMATION 3 - wipers outside/inside
      Parking animations.
      Two parking animations included one for 'on land base' and other for 'on board' parking.
      I'm including two vessels moded as USMC nation. (same as in AH-1J pack) so you can practice start and land. 
      Those ships have moded catapults, deck and arresting cables in a data.ini file. 
      Those ships are limited only to those used during the Vietnam War on WestPac/SEA cruises.
      You can fold tail and rotor by enabling animation in data.ini  file. But it looks silly. And my intention for this animation was eye candy on board vessel.

      With little practice, you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
      Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
      With heavy cargo load probably you need little run on A model as engines on A are little underpowered.
      Normally throttle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 70% then slowly -more and more, wait and it will take off. 
      It is possible to land on board two included ships. don't forget about a hook.
       
      Cockpits.
      New upgraded cockpit based on NATOPS manual.
      Fuel usage is not super perfect but compared to all previous H-53 models released here fuel gauges are working.

      Few differences between models mostly in humps/bumps/sensors dispensers.
      Skins.
      All serial numbers are based on available photos, and USMC documents and are historically correct. 
      Weapons.
      The only "offensive" weapon is left/right side gunner. Well, it is a quite defensive weapon.
      Cargo loads.
      I am releasing this cargo load in the current condition. So maybe some skins needs to be adjusted.
      Cargo loads include few cargo crates for cargo bay and hook, howitzer, MUTTs. Skins for MUTTS - Thank yo The Trooper.

      Skins.
      All serial numbers, as far as I know, are based on photos and US Army docs and are historically correct.
      One specific folder for Desert Storm Mod Fans. including one of two units operating D model during Desert Storm.
      HMH-462
      Model 80 
      two generic paints green and 3color paint scheme.
      Model 99 
      HMH-362, HMH-363 and HMH-463 operating CH-53D at the end of service of this aircraft. In 2012 CH-53D was finally retired.
      IMPORTANT - 
      Due tu construction of this mod it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard you may have some complications on airfield - especialy with underslung cargo load. 
      Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots. 
      This mod still needs some work. But I am afraid that if I will not upload it, I might never fully finish.
      Have fun.
      Edit and report bugs.

      Copy all files to specific folders in your game mod directory. 

      ANIMATION 1 & 2 - cockpit doors.
      open bomb bay - open cargo doors - you will figure out why/how etc. 
      This is beta file. Some small ini edits might be needed. 
      I was planning to make it bigger but I've lost 'thing' for it..but of course you can play with it.
      For now and in near future I will not work on it - so honestly, I am abandoning it.
      Better to share than keep it on a hard drive.
       Aircraft include my generic Bell Huey cockpit.
      Pack includes one helicopter with 1 very generic skin and PSD templates so anyone can create any skin desired.
      Flying.
      As with all my previous helos flying is quite easy. With little practice, you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
      Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
      Normally throttle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 55% wait little and then increase to 100% and helo will take off nicely.

      Have fun.
      Hope you will enjoy it same as me when working on it.

      This mod represents Late model of CH-53A already with instaled EAPS and early models oF CH-53D with uprated engines.
      A model never received aux fuel tanks and were used until 1992. At the end of service mostly by reserve units.
      D model /early/ was used also until around 1992.  Not every D model was upgraded so in this config they were flying until the 90s.

      CHANGES:
      I highly recommend to overwrite previous files decals/weapons/guns- or best is delete the old one and put new files.
      YOU NEED TO DELETE OLD AIRCRAFT FOLDERS CH-53A and CH-53D_70. Many things were changed and as tested Overwriting may cause some problems...So delete old ones put new ones.

      Cockpits.
      One cockpit based on NATOPS manual, an early model for both A and early D model.

      Both models are similar. The only difference is in engine power. D model is 'stronger' so it's easier with heavy loadouts. And only D can tow 'experimental' Mk105 minesweeper.

      Skins.
      All serial numbers are based on available photos, and USMC documents and are historically correct. 
      Weapons.
      The only "offensive" weapon is left/right side gunner. Well, it is a quite defensive weapon.
      Ah.. there is Napalm barrel bombs. Used in Vietnam War. Inside _WingsOverVietnam_Only Addon Folder
      ...BOOM.
      Cargo loads.
      I am releasing this cargo load in current condition. So maybe some skins needs to be adjusted.
      Cargo loads include few cargo crates for cargo bay and hook, howitzer, MUTTs. Skins for MUTTS - Thank yo The Trooper.

      in 1973 USMC joined NAVY in operation End Sweep and equipped their D model (HMH-463 only) with minesweeping stuff. So here you can "tow" Mk105 minesweeper. It is just interim mk105. V.2 is under development.
      To see Mk105 open cargo bay.
      IMPORTANT - 
      Due to construction of this mod it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard, you may have some complications on airfield - especially with underslung cargo load. 
      Countermeasures.
      I've deleted Countermeasures from weapon loadout. 

      Skins.
      All serial numbers, as far as I know, are based on photos and US Army docs and are historically correct.
      CH-53A in Vietnam used by HMH-463 and HMH-361.
      In mid-80s A model was still in use by some units. One of the last unit to use CH-53A was HMH-772 until 1992 when they send A to AMARC.
      Also in mid-80s ( I believe it was in middle or late) US Navy composite squadron VC-1 was using old ex-marine CH-53A until 1992 when they send them to AMARC. I think they were using only these two aircrafts.
      CH-53D
      Few paintings fro different years,  early green early 80s green and tri-color mid-80s.
      HMH-361, HMH-362, HMH-461, HMH-461 - two schemes one - 78 from a trip to Japan and one 1973 during Operation End Sweep.

      Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots. 
      This mod still needs some work. Will be working on it.

       ____________________________________
       Bo-105 PaH1 Addon for SF2 series
       ____________________________________
       General:
       --------
       Since 1979, the German Army received 212 PAH anti-tank versions and 100 M-versions as liaison and observation helicopters
       totaling 312 Bo 105s. The helicopter was retired from German Army service on 13 December 2016 with an 18-aircraft formation

    24. CH-124 Sea King

      CH-124 pack for SF2
       ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
      Based on the SH-3D AND SeaKingMK41 made by Florian. 
       ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
       
      This is the CH-124 Sea King as used by the RCAF for the SF2 series of games.
       
      The skins represent the schemes used by the RCAF on their CH-124 Sea Kings.

      The serial numbers in this skin pack along with planes numbers are real one's. 

      You will get the following skins in this package :
      CH-124A        circa 1963
      CH-124B        circa 1974
      CH-124B        circa 1991
       
      * Note : I did not touched the model, so visually only the CH-124A 1963 variant will look like the real one.  Thanks to Florian who made a change to my CH-124A lod, i am able to depict a CH-124B look alike as the dome radar has been put on the modified LOD. So unless someone is doing modeling work on this bird to add the RCAF goodies like the Flir, sunoboys launchers and a few other things someday, only the skins for the 1974 and 1991 variant will reflect the real birds.
       

      I HIGHLY recommand to install the complete aircraft as follow.
      COMPLETE AIRCRAFT :

      Copy the CH-124 Objects/aircraft folders content to your game aircraft folder.
      Copy the CH-124 Objects/decals folder content to your game decals folder.
      Copy the CH-124 Objects/pilots folders content to your game pilots folder.
      Copy the CH-124 Objects/weapons folders content to your game weapons folder.
      Copy the files in the CH-124 Objects files to your game objects folder.
      Copy the CH-124 Sounds folder content to your game sounds folder.
       
      Credits:
      - Thirdwire
      - Florian for the great SH-3D model AND SeaKingMK41. But more for having modified the LOD file so i could depict the ''B'' version.
      - Myself for the decals and rework :)
       
      Happy flights!

      Please read the readme.txt.
       
      Glad to finally get this one out there.

      VERSION 1.1 CHANGES/ADDITIONS
      -----------------------------
      -New cockpit glass reflection texture.
       
      -Changed AGM-114L to CGR and added Hellfire rails to the 3d
      model to overcome the issue of engaging moving targets.
      (Thanks to WhiteBoySamurai for this idea and thanks to
      FastCargo for letting me use the 3d model of his Hellfire rail)
       
      -Changed loadout types so the AH-64A cannot be loaded with the
      AGM-114L Longbow Hellfire.
       
      -Changed the Specular and Glossiness levels to make the skin
      look more matt.
       
      -New hangar and loading screens.
       
      -Some FM and performance tweaks. (Thanks to EricJ for some
      suggestions)
       
      -Completely new M261 model made by me. I have also made the M260
      rocket pod, Hydra rocket with a M229 warhead and Hydra APKWS with
      a M151 warhead.
      For mode info and details on the APKWS look here:
