Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

A skin depicting the three U-2E aircraft deployed to Vietnam in early 1964 --
56-6680,56-6703, & 56-6707.
 
The U-2E differed from the Basic A model by modifying it for inflight refueling.
3 aircraft were converted, and 5 J75 powered U-2C models were converted to U-2Fs
by the same modification.
 
These U-2Es were with the 4028th Strategic Reconnaissance Squadron of the
4080th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing.
 
The 4028th SRS flew high-altitude reconnaissance missions, photographing SAM sites
near Hanoi and Haiphong harbor.
 
On February 11th 1966, the 4080th SRW was redesignated the 100th SRW and moved
to Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona. The SRS detachment at Bien Hoa AB, South Vietnam,
was redesignated the 349th SRS.
 
Credit goes to the guest who developed the U-2A.

Unpack and drop the F-100D_US_SEA folder in the AIRCRAFT directory, this will create a seperate USAF F-100D aircraft using Camo droptanks
and is nesesary, if you want to use those camo droptanks I made. Now comes the "hard" part: the LOD,BMP and Out files
in the F-100D camo tanks folder SHALL be mowed to the weapons Directory and the following text added to the Weapons DATA ini

Remember to give this entry the next following number marked by xxxx
 
open with weapons editor and save, the tanks will not show up if you dont do that.
 
 
I will say thanks to Sundowner for letting me use his EXELLENT templates and for the help learning me creating
plane specific droptanks.
 
 
This aircraft comes with one skin which is set to generic, and should be using stock ThirdWire US numbers and decals for camo birds
 
This mod is free to use at will, but not never in ANY payware mod. Just credit my work and I will be happy.
 
Hope you will like my bird

F-86 Sabre
First of all I would like to think “USAFMTL” for allowing me to be a part of this effort.
Secondly thanks go to David Zurawski for his wonderful F-86 Sabre that is such a work of art.
Thanks to Wolf-257 and Crab_02 for the A and E model Sabres.
Thirdly thank you to all that have modeled and skined the work to developed individual sub-models of the F-86.
Thanks to Jimmy Bib for all his graphical engineering.
Lastly thank you to “Fubar 512" for his expert guidance in my effort in Flight Modeling.
 
Read the read me.

16th July 2009 SF2 version updates by knx, all props go to original creators listed below the dotted line.
 
Install instructions, drag and drop Objects folder into your mod folder.
 
Notes: I will try to figure out why the magnetic compass to the right of the cockpit isn't showing up, just a case of finding the appropriate bmp from first series games I think. Will update as and when. Please let me know if you spot something else that needs updating/tweaking. I'm sure there is something I missed, so point it out to me please if you can, the reason I'm uploading now as it is, is so that issues can be pointed out and resolved before the rest of the packs to follow. Regards, Gwyn.
 
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The original readme follows, note that this pack is only one specific part of what is described here, the next lot I will be updating are the later model USAF Sabres (I don't know who is doing the MiG-15s)

If ever the was an aircraft the looked, felt, smelt, and tasted like a fighter aircraft ; it’s the F-86 Sabre!
 
 
And being an actual jet rated pilot, with a little over 1,200 actual flight hours, compelled me to tweak , my “Sweet Sabre”.
 
 
Being my all time favorite aircraft and being an avid history nut about the Korean Conflict compelled me in an effort to add to these works that so many started.
 
 
First of all. All data contained in the data.ini files was deeply researched by “USAFMTL” and myself.
 
 
Only minor tweaks where utilized, building on the work of those that created the aircraft models.
 
 
All aircraft preform to Dash 1 specifications to the degree of 99.9%.
 
 
All aircraft where thoroughly tested by hundreds hours of actual, not autopilot, testing.
 
 
 
The yank and bank style of A.C.M. with this aircraft is gone.
 
 
 
Key points are :
1) Keeping a high energy fight.
 
 
2) Thinking well ahead of what the aircraft is, or what you want it to do.
 
 
3) The required use of the speed brakes to alter or set up YOUR fight or flight, in reference to turning radius. Not just chopping the throttle, that is a only a good way to die.
 
 
4) And for the self proclaimed, “Fighter Aces”, fly these models on the HARD setting, to truly test your skill.
 
 
5) All F-86 and MiG-15 are uniform in performance. The aircraft preform as did the actual models of this noble era.
 
 
6) The addition of armor to all aircraft end the ,“QUICK KILL”. These can be altered still to fit ones preference.
 
 
 
A little history:

X-45C and X-47C UCAV Package
 
Model by ?
Skin by ?
Ini by ?
 
Drop into your aircraft folder and go fly.
 
The Skunkworks has struck again.......

************************************************************************
************************ UCAVs 1.1 Update *****************************
************************************************************************
 
Updates to the X-45C / X-47C to make them more 'combat ready'.
 
Extra equipment includes:
 
Internal ECM
Expendables
Laser Designator
 
 
Weapons adjustment:
 
Weapons fit into the bays properly...which limits what you can carry.
Multiple weapons will sequence properly as well when dropped or fired.
 
 
Aircraft adjustment:
 
Aircraft now have manual weapon doors.
 
 
Remaining issues:
 
No cockpit. Drop in your own...think of it as a synthetic pit for a
future UCAV pilot.
Missiles don't drop, but fire as if off a rail. It has to do with the
type of weapon...most small missiles fire off rails. So, unless you
alter all the missiles a UCAV can carry...or the LODs are altered to
make trapeze weapon rails, its one of those things...
 
Use them for support on your missions, or drop in a cockpit and fly it
yourself. Get ready for the future...
 
Alterations by FastCargo

This is a full conversion and improvement of the existing Udaloy I and Udaloy II class destroyers for SF2:NA/March 2012. Along with the expected effects, weapons, ship names, and collisions modifications, I fixed non-working radars on the ship and streamlined the data in a more logical, consistent fashion.
 
I also created a new flight deck LOD file and adjusted the relevant data to enable helicopter operations. As I didn't make the original model, the positioning is based on guesswork and trial&error. Embark from the flight deck at your own risk.
 
 
An optional data file for the Udaloy II is included which allows the ship to launch SS-N-22 Sunburn missiles instead of SA-N-9 Gauntlet SAMs. This version still has a measure of air defense in the form of Kashtan CIWS and SA-N-11 missiles. Feel free to use whichever suits your needs. Enjoy!<br class="Apple-interchange-newline">

This package contains modified data files for the Udaloy and UdaloyII Class Destroyers. It is meant for SF2:NA based installs only.
 
You can find it in the Udaloy class upgrade package 1.0
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/12800-udaloy-class-upgrade-package/
 
Alternatively if you have the SF2:NA Expansion Pack by eburger68 then it can be used with the Slava included in the pack.
 
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This package makes numerous adjustments to the Udaloy & UdaloyII Data files.
 
The most important is making the SA-N-9 missile launchers function via a Gunner instead of using the [WeaponSystem] entery. As such they operate similar to the launchers on WhiteBoySamurai's ships.
 
On the Udaloy II, two launchers have been set up for the SA-N-11's used by its Kasthan mounts so as not to interfere with the guns of the Kasthan.
 
All other gunners have been heavily overhauled in order to adjust the performance of the ship's gun systems against the AA and CIWS role.
 
The Alt1 file is uses stock or existing guns while the Alt2 file uses custom modified guns.

"Udet-Seenotbojen" or Udet Rescue Bouy and S7-S13 Class E-boat for SF2 WW2 Battle of Britain Installs
 
To install, copy the included Objects, Effects, Missions and Sound folders into your MOD folder and make the INI file edits described below. If you already have an E-boat in your ground objects, back it up. If you don't want a high poly E-boat model, maybe just install the Udet-bouy. Tested in a WW2 Install based on SFNA patched to June 2012 Level. You can also slip the E-boat into your Euro WWII as it is a ground object, same goes for the Udet-bouy but you will not be able to use the custom Target placement as this has been written for the Battle of Britain Terrain.
 
All users should be prepared for longer load times as the E-boat model weighs-in at around 5.6 MB despite my poly-crunching and pruning -- the original was MUCH bigger this! If you want a smaller model, try copying and renaming LOD2 to LOD1 -- you will be missing crew, dingies and torpedos but have a smaller, but still big, file.
 
Talking of the original, the base model that I've imported into SF2 is a fantastic 3DS Max model by Alvaro Alves of De Espona 3D Models and is released as a creation here under a Royalty Free License. The version here is very heavily edited and with mostly new textures.
 
The Udet-bouy is my own creation.
 
This started out as a small project to learn 3DS Max by making a low poly Udet-bouy but it kind of got out of control! So, a LOT of work for such a little object and it's big brother but worth it I think. If you're a 109 pilot with a damaged engine limping back to France, try a belly landing next to an Udet-bojen and then swim for it!
 
Hope you like it,
 
 
Steve T.

To the CombatAce community,
This is a selection of files for the 220ft diameter flying saucer that I recently constructed, but do not have the time or experience to fully complete. Please feel free to use and/or improve upon this model and release it with your own skin, flight model, etc. for the rest of the community to download and use. This may not be used in any payware and, if you do post a mod using this, I ask for credit to be given for the original model.
 
Included are the .lod and shadow files I was using for my basic tests in Wings Over Vietnam, though to most people
they will probably not be that useful: the windows did not appear (texture not assigned?) and I did not do any UV mapping,
so there is no basis for a skin yet.
With that in mind, I am supplying the last 3D Studio MAX 9 file I made ("flyingsaucer-lodready") and an FBX file.
The reference for this UFO model was a diagram from an old 1/48th scale model kit made by Testors, the only real significant
change that I made was the presence of eight windows in four groups instead of six evenly spaced ones on the upper deck.
 
Thank you and have fun continuing where I left off,
