UH-1H Bushranger Gunship for SF2
By Harry Leith
 
This aircraft represents the Bushranger Gunship version of the UH-1H Huey helicopter operated by the Australian Defence Forces. It is fitted with 2x M134 Miniguns and 2x Rocket Launchers fixed forward.
 
I haven't been able to model the mountings for the weapons, so the LAU/3 rocket pods just sort of hang in space alongside the aircraft, and the miniguns can't be seen at all. However they do work, which is the main thing!
 
This mod has been tested in a merged install of SF2. Weapons are in SF2 format. I haven't modified the FM at all from the original release, so I make no guarantees about flight performance.
 
Installation.
This package is only a partial mod. It requires you to have the Australian Army UH-1H Huey by Richard "Gramps" Kaminski already installed. You can find it here:
 
http://forum.combata...rmy-uh-1h-huey/
 
This mod contains replacement aircraft data files for that helo, adding the weapons and converting it to the Bushranger gunship variant.
 
Copy the following files to the UH-1H folder located in the Aircraft directory inside the Objects folder in your game install, replacing the originals.
 
UH-1H.ini
UH-1H_DATA.INI
UH-1H_Loadout.INI
UH-1H_BUSHRANGER_LOADOUT.tga
 
There is also a M134 folder for the M134 miniguns which should be placed in the Guns folder in the Objects folder. If the Guns folder doesn't already exist in the Objects folder, you can create it. This weapon is in SF2 format, so will not work for SF1 users.

I have left the original read-me file intact with this install.

DBS Water Upgrade/Update for SF/Wo* (08+) and SF2


 
This is a little package contains newly rebuilt sea and sea/land transition tiles for Major Lee's "Bering Straits" terrain, and is designed for use on the enhanced targets upgrade I released Nov, 2008. It can be used on either the original OR the upgrade. If you don't have the upgrade, it's available at the following URL:
 
http://forum.combatace.com/files/file/7684-bering-straits-terrain-targets-upgrade/
 
What this package is, are all the 'waterish' tiles rebuilt with new alpha channels, thereby allowing for more water action to be visible (even with all that cursed ice!!). A new waternormal bmp is also included, for enhanced wave action.
 
It has been tested in all 1st Gen Sims (SF/WoV/WoE/ at 10/08 patch levels) and SF2 (merged, 2/10 patch, withOUT SF2:I).. But, as I'm on XP, I can't take advantage of the DX10 shaders....
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme FIRST for full, detailed instructions for BOTH 1st and NextGen sims game installs. It reccomened you read this document through before installing to either SF/Wo* or SF2 series, to make sure you know what's to be done, and how to do it.
 
Consider this as my birthday present to all of YOU!!
 
Good Hunting!

ps: the screenie above was taken in SF2, with me piloting that CF-104 (easily made flyable), so I know it do work in NextGens!! I'd like feedback from our Vista/Win7 DX10 users, with screenies if possible, so I can see it looks OK there, as well.
TIA!

After looking at various real life pictures of F-105s I noticed that more often than not, F-105s going into combat carried an ECM pod on one outer pylon and a Shrike missile on the other. The option to make this selection isn't possible in the stock F-105D_66 so I decided to edit the stock DATA and LOADOUT inis to give a more accurate depiction, or to at least give the user the option to select this loadout before flying missions.
 
Just pop these INI files into your F-105_66 folder and you're ready to go.

As a small tribute to the men and women of the Minnesota ANG 148th FW, I put this skin together a year or so ago. I figure it's time to share. I was pleased with the way it turned out, but had a bit of a problem with the rudder and the way the image seems to wrap around the edges. All in all though I think it's pretty good for a first time skin.
 
Two versions:
 
The standard 148th skin
 
The CO's Skin
 
GO BULLDOGS!!

For the A-team Skunkworks USAF A-37A file which can be found in their THIRD PARTY section. In 1967, Operation Combat Dragon was underway in Vietnam to evaluate the new A-37A Dragonfly. A handful of these planes were chosen to test a new "sky camouflage" scheme of either solid pale blue or a blue/grey combo. The experiment was a HUGE SUCCESS....which is why it FAILED and was scrapped!! Want to know more?? Download and find out.....:)
