A-10A and C Thunderbolt II "Warthog" Pack


June. 24, 2016
Version 1.6 Full Update Package A-10A and C Thunderbolt II "Warthog" Pack
Content size of Install files 1.82GB unzipped.

 

====================================================================================================
CLEAN INSTALL REQUIRED! Remove Aircraft Folders,
all other folders can be overwritten.

 

INSTALL:
Drop the contents of the Install folder into the Game Root folder. e.g.
X:\Users\UserName\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Israel\
Overwrite when asked.

 

AddAllToWeapons.ini is located in the Weapons folder and added to the Game Weapons by using
the Weapons editor. Open the Weapons Editor, browse to the Weapons folder in question and
open the WEAPONDATA.INI (Extract it if you don't have it in the Weapons Folder with CAT Extract)
Then choose Import/Merge and open AddAllToWeapons.ini and pick Save. If you want the New
LAU-3A to show up rather than the Stock LAU-3A, open the WeaponsData.INI you just added
weapons to and paste the Data provided in the AddAllToWeapons.ini manually for that Weapon.
Reason is that if the weapon already exists it wont overwrite it. Once you've pasted in the Data open
the WEAPONDATA.INI with the Weapons Editor, open the WEAPONDATA.INI again and Save.

 

Extras Folder contains files for optimized play. Use at discretion.

 

\Flight\ Folder:
FLIGHTENGINE.INI [unlimitedDetailOption] MaxTextureRes=0
NATIONS.INI With Nations from SF:2 and added New World Order and U.S. Army.
SOUNDLIST.INI obviously stock plus added sounds.
VIEWLIST.INI Taken from SF:2 and optimized for wide angle screen shots.

 

\Objects\ Folder:
AIRCRAFTOBJECT.INI Changed to keep CCIP from showing through solid Cockpit sections.

 

\PilotData\ Folder:
SQUADRONLIST.INI My collection of Squadrons, to allow the A-10 Squadrons to show
up and use decals correctly.

 

These may be dropped into their respective folders to use. Backup your files before overwriting.

 

====================================================================================================

 

The package includes:

 

Updated A-10A and C Thunderbolt II "Warthog" Model of the 3.0 released by Wpnssgt, re-released as version v1.0

      View File 23d Wing Pope AFB 1994
      23d Wing Pope AFB 1994
      In the 1990s, the USAF experimented with composite wings that would have everything needed within a single unit for deployment into a regional fight.
      The 23 Wing was formed in 1992 to bring about this vision, as applied to direct support of US Army forces. By 1994, 4 squadrons were ready at Pope AFB NC
      to support the US Army's 82d ABN DIV at neighboring Fort Bragg. The 2d and 41st Airlift Squadrons flying the C-130E Hercules, the 74th Fighter Squadron flying
      the F-16C/D Block 40 Vipers, and the 75th Fighter Squadron flying the A-10A Warthog. As is tradition for the 23d Wing, which traces its lineage to the
      Flying Tigers of World War 2, every aircraft in the wing sported a sharks mouth.
      This mod brings together everything needed to get the 23d Wing into the fight. Complete aircraft (including a newly revamped F-16D Block 40 from ravenclaw007), period specific weapons, sounds and effects.
      Included
      Viper Team F-16C Block 40 and 75th FS skin
      ravenclaw007/Viper Team F-16D Block 40 and 75th FS skin
      Dels C-130E_SKE with 2d ALS, 41st ALS Grey and 23d Wing Euro 1 skins
      Various period specific weapons (actively in use 1994-1996)
      Installation
      unzip folder * drop into mod folder of your choice * allow overwrites
      Known Issues
      The C-130 and its weapons are primarlily eye candy. There are unfortuneatly no paratroop drop missions in SF2, and so if you want to drop say 1/325 INF onto a drop zone,
      you will need to select a recon mission and punch those partarooper out by hand
      I have been having issues getting the LAPES Sheridan tank to create a "crater" after dropping. it is still included for the visuals of puching a tank out the back of a Herk,
      and because there was still an Airborne Armor Bn at Bragg in 1994. But at this time the tank will disappear on contact with the ground

      UPDATE 31 DEC 20220
      XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
      After further research on other Hog units, and closer examination of the TW model, i have included Spectre8750's A-10A_93 model with updated numbers list.
      I also changed several serials after determining that they were at other bases in 1995. The deduction I used to find the C-130 serials didnt work as well
      for the Hogs. But it is fixed and I even discovered two Tiger Shark Hogs that were still in Euro 1 camoflage at the time. The A-10A_93 features two skins for
      the bulk of the gray birds and the two green ones.

      Mirage F1AZ (1975-1991)
      This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.
      Single-seat strike and multi-role fighter. It is a simplified attack version with extra fuel in place of radar and some other all-weather avionics.
      The South African Air Force recognized the advantages of a simplified version of the Mirafe F1CZ for day visual attack missions. The resulting Dassault-Breguet Mirage F1AZ
      is visually distinguished by having a slender conical nose, resulting from removal of the large Cyrano IVM radar. In its place is the ESD Aïda II ranging radar and a
      laser-ranger, with a large instrument boom housing the pitot/static heads attached on the underside of the nose.  The main avionics racking is moved from behind the cockpit
      to the nose, making room for an extra fuselage tank. Other additions are a Doppler radar and a retractable refueling probe. South Africa received 32 aircraft for service with
      No. 1 Sqn.
      The aircraft were withdrawn from service in 1997.

      Covered unit :
      N°1 Squadron Early Camo. N°1 Squadron Experimental Camo. This addon is and will in all cases remain freeware.
      Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms.
      Enjoy

      This pack contains the stand-alone version of the O\A-10A Thunderbolt II aircrafts from "Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary". This mod contains accurate ODS livery, nose art and serial numbers from ODS. This is just a sample of what you will find in the expansive "Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary" pack. If you like this mod and want (much much) more! Please check out the "Operation Desert Storm: 30th Anniversary" mod here...

      Installation...
      ---------------------
      1) Copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder into your mod folder and over-write if required.
      2) Update your "...\Flight\SOUNDLIST.INI" with the contents of the "Add A-10 SoundList.txt". Please don't forget to maintain the number sequence in the sound list.
      3) Check, ensure (or update) all the squadrons in this pack is in your "SQUADRONLIST.INI" file. Once you look at that file, you will know what to do. 
      * Please note that some squadrons may have multiple CO planes, this is not a mistake. Rather than just picking one CO, I am respresenting all the COs for that squardon during the period. So both COs could pop up in given scenario. I rather have them than cut them so...it's only a game...
      * Tweaked and Tested by the ODS30 team!
