NONE ML's has been updated to MLD level. (but 560 MLA's were updated)
 
ML-1 is early version with additional rear fuselage pylons, removed later.

This is the Pucara AX-04 Skin. This plane was used in May of 1982, during the Falklands War . The " Comando Aereo Estrategico" (Startegic Air Command) tried to employ the old Mk13 Torpedo used by the "Armada Argentina" (Argentine Navy), with the IA-58A Pucara used by the "Fuerza Aerea Argentina" (Argentine Air Force). This Pucara AX-04 (ex A-509) came with a totally new skin, only used on this ocation. After a number of failed test the project was abandoned and the skin was never used again.

Yak-3RD pak -includes upgrades for 08 Patch Level and SF2 Sims
 
Fulfilling a request to make the aircraft available again, as the links at Pasko's Mostly MiGs and Etc seem to have disappeared.
 
Some ini mods are:
moving the cockpit up slightly to hide some gaps;
A Soviet WW2-style PB1 gunsight tga (from Pappa Romeo's EAW sight pack)
VERY small FM tweeks for 08+ level games (btw, a few more tweeks are necessary hint-hint to our FM guys);
Canopy is now operational via an animiation key (Shift/0)
A new WoE-style Hangar screen (didn't have one before)
The "CRSPRP.wav" in-line engine sound -- has a nice V-12 buzz (used on many WW2 mods)
Damage tgas for that 'shot full of holes' look
 
Included are a second data and loadout ini, for an "operational" interceptor version, in the "What If..." worlds, with the additon of 2 nose 12.7 machine guns, ala the standard Yak-3. An 'operational' Loadout ini, with the additon of drop tanks is included. Instructions for swapping them out are below in the "To Install" section. Sort of an experiment I performed.
 
I've also included a 2nd skin for the 'operational' variant, which is a basically the gray/blue skin from the Yak-3. Be advised of some small mapping issues, as this skin really wasn't designed for this LOD.
 
Pasko's original readme is also included
 
Note: for the 'operational' variant, I've used as much stock weapons as possible; even the guns are pure 3W stock. However, the drop tanks used are the 75 gallon Mustang ones; so you might need one or another of the various Weapons Pak available to get them. They are NOT included.
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft has been tested in Post-Patch SF/WoV/WoE/WoI (mostly 08 Level WoE). Be advised of the existence of some handling issues prevelant in WW2 era and many Pre-Patch (ie: 06 level) aircraft. Fly accordingly!!! It should also work in SF2 and later iterations - this has NOT been tested, however.
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder somwhere, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. Of course, the usual 'Notes and Ramblings' section
 
With thanks to Pasko for creating this interestering little aircraft!

NOTE:
I didn't assign a NATO codename to the aircraft for several reasons:
1) Couldn't really think of one; even with those assigned to other experimental birds that didn't go into production, or Lend-Lease aircraft that went out-of-serivce rather quickly after WW2, and
2) The ones I'd thought of, while being rather descriptive (what with that rocket engine in the tail and all) probably wouldn't get used, even in 'impolite' company (well for a couple I came up with, at any rate). If you want to know what they were, just ask!
End users are encourged to come up with one, and let everyone know.

McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.5 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
 
This is a simple mod of the Third Wire Phantom F-4E_72 to give a 'what if' Phantom FGR.5 tactical fighter with markings for No.6, No.41 and No.54 squadrons of RAF Strike Command as they might have appeared during the mid-1970's.
 
 
BACKSTORY
 
(Just a bit of fun).
 
The cancellation of the Hawker P.1154 in 1964 led to the adoption of the LTV F-8E(RN) Crusader for the Royal Navy to replace the Scimitar and Sea Vixen and the adoption of the standard J79 powered F-4C Phantom for the RAF to replace the Hunter. However, anxious to improve the UK's trade balance with the US the UK Government insisted that the RAF's Phantoms would adopt either the Rolls Royce Spey turbofan or the Anglo-French Rolls Royce/SNECMA Sequanna turbofan then under development for the proposed Mirage IVB and advanced Mirage III aircraft. The Sequanna was quickly chosen being lighter and slimmer than the Spey and fitted the F-4 like a glove whilst producing about 1,000lbs more thrust per engine than the stock J79-GE-15 turbojet but having a much lower specific fuel consumption.
 
First flown in 1965 and entering service with the RAF in 1966 the Phantom F.1 supplemented the Lightning interceptors of RAF Fighter Command whilst the Phantom FG.2 re-equipped many Hunter and Canberra squadrons at home and abroad. The FR.3 was a planned version of the RF-4C that failed to materialise as the RAF adopted a reconnaisance system but the FGR.4 was the RAF's first true multi-role version of the Phantom and took advantage of the new F-4E airframe and a more powerful Sequanna RB.390 engine developing 19,000lbs with reheat. Only 50 FGR.4's were built before production switched to the FGR.5
featured here with Sequanna RB.392 engines rated at 20,000 lbs of thrust and more advanced avionics. The FGR.5's served both at home and abroad before finally being retired in 2001.
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. Drop the Phantom_FGR5 folder into your Aircraft folder.
 
2. Empty the contents of the Weapons folder into your Weapons folder
 
3. Sprinkle the contents of the Decals folder into your main Decals folder.

F9F-2/2B/5 Panther, VF-781, Korean War Era skin 12/11/09
 
=For SF/SFG/WoV/WoE and probably for SF2 series sims
 
This package is a complete redecaling for Marcfighter's F9F Panther skin, representing VF-781 during the Korean War. For Historical Correctness ™, a 'new' aircraft should be created, but there are some fairly major physical & other differences between the F9F-2/2B and the F9F-5 that we have. We'll just pretend they got the -5s a little early, or pretend these are -2Bs, as all the BuNums/ID tage decals I've created ARE for -2/2Bs. Mmmkay?
 
The original Marcfighters skin bmps ARE included -so full credit MUST be given to him on this-, with all new decals for 24 aircraft (this MAY not be historically correct, but photographic evidence exists showing #121 in flight over Korea). The new decal are the Modex, BuNum/ID tag, and the Air Wing letter. I reused one or two of Marcello's original decals. Chalk it up to laziness...
 
As always, unzip this archive to a temp folder or your desktop, or somewhere else that's easy to find, to gain access to the rest of this readme, for full, simple-to-follow (for once!) instructions.
 
With special thanks (you can't say it enough!) for Marcello for creating this skin in 2004!!
 
Good Hunting!

This is a port from my LOMAC days, from a one photo reference. Not much I can find for numbers since I can't find the book yet, but this is a good start anyways.

XFY-1 POGO / Release 2.0
 
The Convair XFY-1 "Pogo" emerged from the same VTOL-research competition that produced Lockheed's XFV-1 "Salmon.". The aircraft was similar in design to the "Salmon," except that it eschewed its competitor's conventional wing-and-tail configuration in favor of a single--albeit it larger--set of delta-shaped wings. Like the "Salmon," the XFY-1 "Pogo" boasted counter-rotating propellers, but unlike its cousin, it actually clocked numerous vertical lift-offs before the Navy terminated its experiments in 1955.
 
 
XFY-1 POGO is intended for use with Thirdwire stable of flight simulations.
 
This release of the POGO is not entirely coded to work 100% in the game. As is… it MUST be air-started or it will explode upon mission start.
 
Sorry, the expertise of modeling the flight-model to allow it to land and take–off from its tail is way beyond my pay-grade! (Well... maybe not. I might be able to apply what I learned from the Osprey to make it work...)
 
INSTALLATION
 
Unzip the archive and copy and past the POGO folder into your \aircraft directory.
 
NOTE:
 
I’ve included the 3D StudioMAX file in the event someone wishes to try their hand at getting the plane to work properly in the game.
All I ask is that you give credit where credit is due… Namely place my name somewhere.
 
New to release 2.0:
 
1.) Texture mapped (I'm sorry... I have since forgotten who did me the honor of texturing this bird.
 
 
Fly, have fun… appreciate the difficulties in getting a bird like this to fly in a game.
