SF2 1950s USMC AD-6 (A-1H) Skyraider Skin Pack 12/13/2015
 
= For SF2 (or Any & All =at= Full- Merged) =
 
*Note: must have SF2:V as part of your merged install to access the A-1H aircraft itself.*
 
The package represents USMC AD-6 (A-1H) Skyraider squadrons of the mid-1950s. Included in this set are skins for:
 
VMA-212
VMA-333
VMA-225*
VMA-251*
 
*Note: In Real Life ™ service, these 2 squadron used AD-4B (and AD-5) aircraft, but as there is little difference between the marks, for gaming purposes, are used with the AD-6/A-1H. (they =CAN= be added to the "SF2 AD-4B Skyraider, KAW Era" mod here at CA, but you'll have the blue drop tanks on your grey/white skins, but that DID happen in Real Life. Or one can hand-load the 'white' drop tanks.)
 
All aircraft use a pool of modex and BuNums, with individual air group letters. In this respect, they should be considered "generic" in nature. All markings, excepting special squadron paint schemes (VMA-225 only) are decals. All skin maps are in jpg format. Decal randomizaion is TRUE. For those squadrons that are listed in the stock 3w "squadronlist.ini", a decal is used to activate the squadron name display on the loadout screen.
 
Reminder: nothing is included herein that makes them Player Flyable. There is a superb cockpit by Dels you should have already! If you don't, what ARE you waiting for?? :)
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
 
Happy Hunting!

This is the AIM-9JULI version.
 
it's based on a photo of an A-7E(H) in a magazine.
I 've seen other photos of "JULI's" on the internet, and are not all the same.
Possibly depending on which model are based, JULIs differ a bit.
 
ALL CREDITS to ravenclaw_007 on which the LOD/Skin is taken from.

- If you are unsure about the way how mods are installed, check the knowledge base at CombatAce !
 
NOTE
i added the OPTION folder with the optional cockpit lod and removed air refueling lights because i use this lights in the standart cockpit as indicators for the drop tanks ( full - on , emty - off )
if you like the cockpit more " realistic " just overwrite the cockpit lod with the optional one
 
the HAF specific weapons are made based on the official weapons list from the Greek Air Force , weapons missing are the GBU-50 and AGM-154 they will be released on a later point in time
in the weapons pack you will not find any ECM-pods , the reason for that is simply that there is no evidence that the HAF is using any ECM-pods on the F-4E or F-16 except the build in DIAS system
if one day the HAF is using any type of ECM-pod i will add them to the pack

This addon works only with my WeaponPACK (included in rar file). All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
 
Animations.
LANDING GEAR - Nose light on/off at any speed. Don't forget to retract before shooting.
 
ANIMATION 8 - front left door (ext and cockpit view)
 
ANIMATION 9 - front right door (ext and cockpit view)
 
ANIMATION 10 - rear door. (disabled in _data.ini file)
 
ANIMATION 1 - If needed you can activate old XM70 sight to aim hydra rockets. In fact MD500 defender was offered for sale also with M27 Minigun and XM70 sight.
Here on Defender will apear when switching to AG mode. In TOW Defender gunsight by animation key 1.
 
By pressing Arresting Hook activation key you can switch do TOW gunner.
 
Like in previously realased loaches here also you can realy fly low and slow. This helo got little more power due to higher weight compared to old OH-6A
I am sugesting to fly low on 40-50% of throttle. around 45degree vector control, use pulse rudder to control left right, it is realy easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
Important here is to control ac using rudder and vector thrust control.
 
Pack comes with two versions of Defender. First is basic recon version. Second is aircraft equipped with TOW missile system.
 
Skins are generic for Republic of Korea Army Aviation.
All numbers as far as I know are are historicaly correct and are based on available photos. Just few numbers, but can be updated later.
 
Weapons.
TOWs - BGM-71 A/B/C/D.
M260 7-tube rocket launcher with several different warheads.

This is highly modified SA-341 Gazelle by BPAo (TMF). Lucky, thanks to Crusader I had access to original max file. So I could work a little on this great helo.
Generaly model is almost the same as old one. My work was to add some parts here and there (floaters, new sights, new pylon, some internal parts, skids etc..). Rearanged animations and added new. Weapons/pylons are part of airframe. Ive added new rotor. Also I've rearanged UVW mapping. So basicaly skins are 70% new.
This is third part of my gazelles rebuild. It represents Westland built versions of - Gazelle B, C and D used by United Kingdom military units.
Few changes to previous French model.
 

This mod represents few versions of Gazelle used in United Kingdom military.
 
HT.2 Training, liaison, transport helicopter used by Royal Navy
 
HT.3 Training, liaison, transport helicopter used by Royal Air Force
 
AH.1 Army Air Corps helicopter used as recon, liaison, light transport.
 
While HT.2 and HT.3 are pure slick and clean helos. AH.1 version saw some combat.
Thats why in this pack it is seperated in few parts.
First is main AH.1 general helicopter used by Army Air Corps and Royal marines. This is unarmed version, here can be found in 3 versions -early, late with Ferranti AF532 observation sight and late version vith external recon pod.
 
AH.1 as all british gazelles are unarmed helicopters used mainly for recon duties. However durin Operation Corporate some of Army Air Corps and Roya Marines helos were equipped with Matra six shot rocket pods (there were no aiming sight or anything like that instaled) Still due to reports it never saw combat use. Only training shooting.
 
 
 
******************IMPORTANT******************
 
This addon works with my WeaponPACK (included in rar file). Most of pylons/launch rails are part of airframe. So in weapons folder you have to put only ini files. All of 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 availalbe.
 
Weapons included:
 
There is no weapons. It is only floaters, engine filter, suppresed exhaust and some other stuff that can be added to helo, just for look.
 
Only offensive weapon added is in seperate folder for Operation Corporate. Matra LRF2 Rocket pods.
 
NOTE.
In AH.1 - 86 ver. you have acces to recon pod and search light. By loading search light you will have search light "beam" while light are one. But unfortunately light source will apear also when searchlight is not loaded. Anyway this is just experimental thing here.
 

Animations and standard commands:
 
LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed.
 
ANIMATION 1 - right side door.
ANIMATION 2 - left side door.
ANIMATION 3 - rear doors.
ANIMATION 4 - Floaters for 'emergency' landing only below (40?) km/h and only when loaded on aircraft.
 
Thereis also parking animation that works only when aircraft will be placed by game engine on airfiled as parked aircraft.
 
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.
Normaly throtle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 55% wait little and then increase to 100% and helo will take off nicely. 341 version got little less power in engine.
 

Skins.
There is just few skins but lot of use of it in few units. So it is more about decals assigned.
All serial numbers are based on available photos documents and are historicaly correct.
I was trying to put all real units with real codes/numbers for specific year. Not always easy.
There is still some numbers missing.
Skins are made for early and late paint used by Army Air Corps and Royal Marines.
 
Inside there is seperate folder Called "Operation Corporate' and 'Operation Granby'
Inside you will find whole helicopter pack needed to fly in specific instal for Falklands and Desert Storm mods.
 
 
 
 
 

Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots.
Two repainted versions of pilots are provided.
Those are repaint of OldDiego's great usn pilots.
 
Nation for this helo depends on version. There is Royal Navy (alos for Royal Marines) and RAF. Also new nation ARMY AIR CORPS is added in specific txt file. This should be added (by copy text from provided file) to nationlist.ini

A-team Lynx Has3 model, ARGENTINA ARMADA photorealistic skin...
 
Orginal file A-team...
''Para los amigos argentinos''
 
Good hunting...

This is a conversion/repainting/repackaging of Pasko & Column5’s F-106A to the newest SF2 standards. It was tested with SF2NA July2013 release, hard settings.
It contains 8 skins, the weapons and the relative effects:
 
5th FIS late 70ies
27th FIS early 60ies
49th FIS early 80ies
84th FIS early 60ies
87th FIS late 70ies
94th FIS 1969 Korea Deployment
95th FIS early 60ies
318th FIS late 70ies
 
AIM-4F Falcon SAHM
AIM-4G Falcon IRM
AIR-2A Genie AHM
Vulcan M61A1 Gun Pod
360Gal external Fuel Tanks
 
Aerial Nuke Effect
 
The skins are basically Sundowner’s HiRes textures with small improvements. Brand new decals and serial numbers are my own work, except few patch decals, which are still Dave’s ones. Serial numbers correspond to real life, in accordance to Photo material and the Delta Dart Archive:
 
http://www.f-106deltadart.com/units.htm
 
FM is based on eburger68’s file included in OP Tainted Cigar, still heavily reworked and improved by me to suit the latest game engine. Cruise speed, manoeuvrability and energy bleeding seems to me now very much spot on.
The Weapons’s Data files are also revised: don’t pretend to hit anything manoeuvering with the AIM-4G... these are only supposed to hit straight flying Bombers or Black Bandits (landing or low on fuel non-fighting MiGs). The AIM-4F has better chances to hit an enemy fighter. The fuzing distance on both is set to 0.1m... I know the Falcons had no proximity fuse at all, but as the impact sensors were placed on the wings, about 10cm far form the (0,0) axis, it seemed to me a very good compromise.
The AIR-2 rocket is set as Active Radar Homing with very high counter measure and noise rejection. The war head is something bigger than the real 1.5kton. These alterations make the AIR-2 work as it is supposed to. Be sure to put the steering point straight in the middle before firing, as this weapon is supped to be a rocket and won’t turn that much.
One important advice: if you edit this weapon with TW’s Weapons Editor, once you save your changes the program will delete the entire [AerialNukeEffect] section in your data file! So please don’t forget to back up.
Aerial Nuke Effect is Lexx Luthor’s work, as far as I remember...
Keep in mind that the Weapon Station in the Data.ini are marked with Specific Station Codes “AIM4” and “AIR2”, just in case you are trying to use weapons from other Weapon Packs.
The external fuel tanks are set to be jettison type, as people with real life experience on the ‘Six’ says that even though they never were jettisoned in OP because of their good performance, still it was indeed every time possible.

Known Issues:
- The 3D model has not enjoyed any rework, so you will still see the known problems as:
- Shadow issue on the leading edge of both wings (wrong normals)
- Unsmoothed Canopy
- Lack of Bump Map
- Lack of Specular Map
- The Weapon Bay shows the animation only when firing from the rear Falcon Station (i.e. AIM-4G) because of a limitation of the game engine, as you can’t assign the same animation to different Weapon Stations...
 
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and still do!

SF2 Lockheed YF-12A "Starduster" (Veltro2K) Redux...
by Viper63a
 
This started out as an add-on pack to the "What If... SF2 Lockheed (Y)F-12A Starduster by Veltro2K" pack released by Wrench, but by the time I got done with it...it became a stand alone pack. Nothing else is required, but if you want to download the inspiration for this pack, you can find it here...
 
http://combatace.com/topic/76491-what-if-sf2-lockheed-yf-12a-starduster-by-veltro2k/
 
This pack adds the YF-12A "Starduster" and a new 1950/60s era pilot in grey flight suit. Comes complete with new skins, Hangar, Loading, Loadout and Decal files.
 
As always, I recommend that you back up your mod folder before you install any new mod...just in case.
 
* To install, simply unzip and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite (if needed).
 
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...

'What if' F/A-16C Blk 30/32 CAS Vipers
 

Background:
 
In the 1980's, the USAF started setting aside F-16s for the planned A-16 modification, a dedicated CAS version. In 1989, the designation block 60 was reserved for the A-16. The A-16 Block 60 was to be equipped with a 30 mm cannon. This project failed because the 30 mm gun would heat up and singe the inner components of the left fuselage.
 
The Block 60 did not go into production and the A-16 became wrapped up in the debate about close CAS. The supporters of the A-16 project wanted the USAF to replace its A-10A Thunderbolt with A-16's, arguing that the A-10 was too slow to survive above a high-tech battlefield. Detractors argued that the A-16 had insufficient range and load-carrying capability to make an effective attack aircraft, and, in addition, it would be too vulnerable to enemy anti-aircraft fire.
However the USAF was ordered to retain two wings of A-10 aircraft for the CAS mission. No order for the A-16 was ever placed.
 
When the USAF was forced to opt for the A-10 instead of the A-16, the decision was made to retrofit up to 400 existing Block30/32 F-16C/D's with new equipment to perform the CAS and BAI (Battlefield Air Interdiction) missions, effectively killing the A-16 program. Modifications would include a GPS, Digital Terrain System, system hardening, modular mission computer, and an Automatic Target Handoff System.
 
A prototype Block 30 was based at Shaw AFB and went through numerous physical adjustments. Official designation, was to be F/A-16. In January 1992, this plan too was abandoned in favor of using LANTIRN Block40/42 F-16C/D's.
 
The USAF was reluctant to let the idea of a dedicated CAS F-16 go, and planned to replace its A-10's with F-16s fitted with a version of the Warthog's Avenger cannon. In November 1988, the 174th TFW New York ANG transited from the A-10A to the F-16A/B block 10, becoming the first unit to operate the F-16 in a CAS support role.
 
During Desert Storm, their F-16A/B aircraft were equipped with the GPU-5/A Pave Claw pod on the centerline station.
 
If the tests were successful, there were plans for a fleet of F/A-16C's with the same armament. To demonstrate the concept, the AF installed Pave Penny avionics, 30mm gun pods and European One paint jobs on 7 F-16C's. A single F-16D was given similar treatment with a Falcon Eye system as well. These aircraft flew from Nellis with the 'WA' tailcode.
 
The F-16s from the 174th were deployed to the Persian Gulf during Desert Storm, but the project proved to be a miserable failure. Precision aiming was impossible for several reasons:
 
• The pylon mount isn't as steady as the A-10's rigid mounting;
• The F-16 flies much faster than an A-10, giving the pilots too little time approaching the target;
• Firing the gun shook the aircraft harshly and made it impossible to control;
• Essential CCIP (continuously computed impact point) software was unavailable.
 
Pilots ended up using the gun as an area effect weapon, spraying multiple targets with ammunition, producing an effect rather like a cluster bomb. It took only a couple of days of this before they gave up, unbolted the gun pods, and went back to dropping cluster bombs.
 
And so the F/A-16C plan was quietly forgotten....
 

BUT...... What if the project was a success?
 

And so I give you the F/A-16C Blk 30/32 CAS Viper:
 
3 separate aircraft:
 
- F/A-16C Block 30 1986- 1993 (1986 Service date makes it NATO Fighters 5 compatible, 1991 would be more realistic.)
- F/A-16C Block 32 1993- 2003
- F/A-16CM Block 30 2003+
 
Unique CAS loadouts including the Pave Claw 30mm gun pods. There are heaps of extra loadouts if you have a look with the mission editor.
 
All F/A-16C have the Falcon Eye FLIR pod on the nose in front of the canopy. It was slaved to the pilot’s helmet which had a helmet mounted display. Basically anywhere the pilot looked at night he would see the world in infrared. It was also the West’s first HMD with targeting information, weapons cueing, navigation and terrain avoidance ques.
 
There are Euro-one style skins for the early F/A-16C, the latter blocks two have a mix of normal F-16 camo skins and a lighter ghost grey style like on the A-10.
 

To install:
 
Drop into your C:\Users\xxxxxx\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters XXXXX
 
Included in the folder 'NATO Fighters 5' is a modified 1986 Red Storm NATO Fighters campaign that includes the F/A-16. It will show up as an extra campaign and not affect any of the NATO Fighters 5 campaigns.

SF2 A-1J Skyraider VA-115 Camo Skin 11/30/2015
 
= For SF2V (or Any & All at Full- Merged) =
 
*Note: must have SF2:V as part of your merged install to access the A-1H aircraft itself.*
 
This skin/decal pak represents VA-115 "Arabs" during their Oct 1965-June 1966 deployment in South East Asia aboard USS Kitty Hawk. It represents the experimantal 2-tone green camoflague use during that cruise. It should be noted, sources only point to 3 aircraft actually being painted such, but I've given you a full 12 aircraft squadron.
 
The skin is in jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. I've also included a new, fully updated data ini, that has all the corrected lighting and so forth. Canopy and wingfold operation are the Standard Keystrokes (shift/0 canopy, shift/9 wingfold). Be advised, folding the wings with ordanance loaded, the items don't move with it. Also included are new sounds for flaps, gear and engine.
The skin uses the SF2 "date switch statement" that will (hopefully!) turn it on in October 1965.
What is NOT included are the cockpit or other items that make it flyable. You should have these already. If not, what are you waiting for???
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....
 
Happy Hunting!

These are drivers that are presently working well with Nvidia video adapter up to and including the GTX 750 ti. They are for meant for MS Windows Vitsa, 7, and 8, 64-bit versions only. These should cure any visual anomalies in the Strike Fighters 2 series that have been introduced by later Nvidia driver versions.
 
I highly recommend using this display driver sweeper utility before you install the 353.30 drivers (available from here: http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html)'

Harrier GR.3 Trial Camouflage schemes.
 
 
 
As part of the Harrier II GR.7 development a new two tone green and a two tone grey camouflage pattern were trialled on two of the RAF’s GR.3 Harriers.
 
The Green scheme was chosen for the GR.7 as it was thought to be the most suitable in the low level European cold war environment. However the GR.7 soon switched to the grey scheme with the change to medium level tactics.
Combatace fair use agreement applies.
 
 
 
Instillation:
 
Simply drop in your mods folder.
 
Will work with the stock Harrier GR.3 and my GR.3 (82) Falklands War Modified:

Atlas Cheetah C Ecuador Air Force
 
Install - Need Update July 2012 and DLC Mirage IIIO
 
The Cheetah C was the ultimate development of the Cheetah series, and was the only fighter aircraft in service with the SAAF until replaced by the Saab JAS 39 Gripen in 2008. Many of the features of the Cheetah aircraft are still classified, and the SAAF is unwilling to reveal too many details. What is known is that in addition to the upgrades described above, the Cheetah C incorporates a more sophisticated avionics and navigation suite and a new pulse-doppler multi-mode radar (ELTA), both of which are regarded as being better than the systems fitted to Block 50 F-16s[citation needed], and one of the most advanced EW systems fitted to a fighter aircraft. The aircraft is also fitted with a data link, though the capabilities of this system are unknown, and it received updated versions of the helmet-mounted sight, HUD and improved HOTAS controls.
Other improvements include the fitting of a single-piece wrap-around windshield with an anti-radiation coating in place of the old three-piece version, a new in-flight refuelling probe with less external piping, new undercarriage and suspension, the deletion of the wing fences, an upgraded version of the Atar 9K50 and a new nose to incorporate the more sophisticated electronics and radar.
Like the Cheetah D, the Cheetah C is capable of delivering precision-guided munitions (PGMs), ranging from laser-guided bombs (LGBs), to GPS-guided weapons and TV-guided bombs. It also has the capability of using stand-off air-to-ground weapons such as the MUPSOW and TORGOS. In addition, it is able to carry a raft of air-to-air weapons, and the SAAF currently equips its aircraft with the V4 R-Darter, a beyond-visual-range (BVR) radar-guided missile, and the U-Darter, a highly capable short-range infrared (IR)-guided missile.
A measure of the capabilities of the Cheetah C is the result of an air-combat maneuvering (ACM) exercise between the Cheetah Cs of 2 Squadron and F-15E Strike Eagles of the 494th Fighter Squadron, United States Air Force at RAF Lakenheath, after which the score tallies for each side were almost exactly equal.
Now sold to the Equator.
