Sukhoi Su-25T Tankovy & Sukhoi Su-25SM Frogfoot for SF2
 
 
 
The Su-25T (Tankovy) is a dedicated antitank version, which has been combat-tested with notable success in Chechnya. The design of the aircraft is similar to the Su-25UB ( unification of 85%). The variant was converted to one-seater, with the rear seat replaced by additional avionics. It has all-weather and night attack capability. In addition to the full arsenal of weapons of the standard Su-25, the Su-25T can employ the KAB-500Kr TV-guided bomb, KH-58 ARM, R-73, MPS-410 ECM Pod and the semi-active laser-guided Kh-25ML. Its enlarged nosecone houses the Shkval optical TV and aiming system with the Prichal laser rangefinder and target designator. It can also carry Vikhr laser-guided, tube-launched missiles, which is its main antitank armament. For night operations, the low-light TV Merkuriy pod system can be carried under the fuselage. Three Su-25Ts prototypes were built in 1983–86 and 8 production aircraft were built in 1990. With the introduction of a definitive Russian Air Force Su-25 upgrade programme, in the form of Stroyevoy Modernizirovannyi, the Su-25T programme was officially canceled in 2000.
 
 
 
The Su-25SM (Stroyevoy Modernizirovannyi) is an "affordable" upgrade programme for the Su-25, conceived by the Russian Air Force in 2000. The programme stems from the attempted Su-25T and Su-25TM (aka Su-39) upgrades, which were evaluated and labelled as over-sophisticated and expensive. The SM upgrade incorporates avionics enhancements and airframe refurbishment to extend the Frogfoot's service life by up to 500 flight hours or 5 years.
The Su-25SM's all-new PRnK-25SM "Bars" navigation/attack suite is built around the BTsVM-90 digital computer system, originally planned for the Su-25TM upgrade programme. Navigation and attack precision provided by the new suite is three times better of the baseline Su-25.
A new KA1-1-01 Head-Up Display (HUD) was added providing, among other things, double the field of view of the original ASP-17BTs-8 electro-optical sight. Other systems and components incorporated during the upgrade include a Multi-Function Display (MFD), RSBN-85 Short Range Aid to Navigation (SHORAN), ARK-35-1 Automatic Direction Finder (ADF), A-737-01 GPS/GLONASS Receiver, Karat-B-25 Flight Data Recorder (FDR), Berkut-1 Video Recording System (VRS), Banker-2 UHF/VHF communication radio, SO-96 Transponder and a L150 "Pastel" RWR.
The R-95Sh engines have been overhauled and modified with an anti-surge system installed. The system is designed to improve the resistance of the engine to ingested powders and gases during gun and rocket salvo firing.
The combination of reconditioned and new equipment, with increased automation and self-test capability has allowed for a reduction of pre- and post-flight maintenance by some 25 to 30%. Overall weight savings are around 300 kg (660 lb).
Su-25SM weapon suite has been expanded with the addition of the Vympel R-73 highly agile air-to-air missile (without helmet mounted cuing) and the S-13T 130 mm rockets (carried in five-round B-13 pods). Further, the Kh-25ML and Kh-29L Weapon Employment Profiles have been significantly improved, permitting some complex missile launch scenarios to be executed, such as: firing two consecutive missiles on two different targets in a single attack pass. The GSh-30-2 cannon (250-round magazine) has received three new reduced rate-of-fire modes: 750, 375 and 188 Rounds per Minute. Like the Su-25T it can carry the MPS-410 ECM Pod.
The eventual procurement programme is expected to include between 100 and 130 kits, covering 60 to 70 percent of the Russian Air Force active single-seat fleet, as operated in the early 2000s. The Su-25SM has been operating over Syria in 2015.
 
 
 
Special note on the Vikhr rocket launcher tubes:
 
TLR/ ATR weapons rack can only carry a maximum of 6 LGR missiles but the Vikhr rocket launcher for the Su-25T carries 8. As a work around there are two 8 tube ATR launchers that are different 'rack specific' weapon stations but have the exact same position. One of the launchers holds 6 LGR the other holds just 2. The missiles are positioned on the ATR racks so the one that holds 2 fills in the empty tubes of the ATR that holds 6. The Loadout.ini will loads both racks correctly but it is not possible to manually load them and get 8 rockets in the tubes, you will only get 6 if you do it manually.
 
 
 
To install:
 
Drop into your Mods folder
 
Included in the ‘optional’ folder is a modified NATO Fighters 5 1986 Red Storm (WP) Campaign to include the Su-25T. It will show up an extra campaign named “861019 Red Storm (WP) Su-25T” and will not affect any of the other NATO Fighters campaigns.

Thirdwire A-4E/F/G/H/K Cockpit Repaint by Nyghtfall v1.2
========================================================
 
*** SF2V, SF2I, DLC 002 (A-4G) and DLC 005 (A-4K) required for the according Skyhawk-Models ***
*** tested in full 5-merged installation ***
 
Update v1.2
===========
All A-4E-based cockpits are now included with a repaint similar to the A-4F from the initial release, together with updated cockpit.inis:
- A-4E, E_65, E_67, A_Ahit, E_Ahit_73
- A-4F, F_74, F_Ahit
- A-4G
- A-4H_Ahit, H_Ahit_68, H_Ahit_70, H_Ahit_73
- A-4K
 
Early Variants (A-4A to C and L) will follow later, as they require some more paintwork.
 
Update v1.1
===========
Crusader did some excellent cockpit.ini-tweaks and corrected the following issues:
- chaff/flare counter entries for the A-4F_74 (one counter for chaff, one for flares)
- added entry for the ECM Control knob, will switch from "Rec" to "Rpt" if ECM is turned on
- ECM box, "Rec" light, new function, now works as Type=THREAT_SAM_WARNING_LIGHT . Thats the normal operating setting of the ECM, light indicates that emissions are received and ECM can be switched to transmit.
- Spoilers Indicator light - changed entry to use external animation link function, now the spoiler light works correctly (gears extended and ground contact, airbrake extended)
Initial Release v1.0
====================
This is a repaint for Thirdwire's Stock A-4F and A-4F(74) Cockpits. While working on a proper A-4PTM-Cockpit based on the A-4F-one, this was a secondary result and maybe someone will find it useful. I aimed for an worn look and instruments, that are a bit darker than the stock ones and so I redid most instruments. I also corrected the font used on the instruments (special thanks to The Trooper for the font!). A slightly changed cockpit.ini for both planes is provided also. I corrected the ArrestingHook- and Gearlever, which are rotating levers now (rather than sliding ones).

Known Issues
=============
- Landinggear-Lever only turns 47° instead of 90° --> In the Cockpit-LOD, the lever-mesh is missing the bottom, so I used this, to avoid a visible hole.

F-89 Scorpion Pak for SF2 6/4/2010
 
-- Version 2, 3/3/2016 --
 
This package includes the full set of F-89 Scorpions, from MontyCZ's original C & D version, PLUS the variant mods I'd created, giving the H, J (Early) and J (Late). The various readmes for the sub-variants are included in their specific aircraft folder, just for historical purposes.
 
This package has been peaked and tweeked for use in SF2 =ONLY=, and is NOT designed for use on SF/Wo* series 1st Gen sims. It makes use of certain elements found ONLY, and usable ONLY, in SF2.
 
Everything is included -aircraft, inis, skins, decals, weapons, pilots. =EXCEPT= a cockpit. Due to changes in SF2's internal coding, these aircraft now make use of the stock in-game F-4B via ini edits that through sorcery now reach back into the cat files, and create usable cockpits without the need of a cockpit folder. How this works, I don't know or care; but that it =does= is a wonderful thing!!
 
On such aircraft that have operating canopies (those that use the F-89D lod), the canopy works via the Standard Manual Animation Keystroke ™, shift/0.
 
This package is designed to REPLACE the original set, and will drop right over it, providing you have it already. If you don't, no worries! Just install as normal.
 
As always the standard, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them!
 
Good Hunting!

Version 2:
See "Change Log" in the readme

This package contains the complete collection of Ulsan class frigates of the Republic of Korea Navy:
Ulsan Flight I (c.1980), armed with two 76mm guns, four twin 30mm AAA guns, and eight Harpoon missiles Ulsan Flight II (c.1986), armed with two 76mm guns, three twin 40mm AAA guns, and eight Harpoon missiles Ulsan Flight III (c.1988), armed with two 76mm guns, three twin 40mm AAA guns, and eight Harpoon missiles (with the aft guns on an elevated platform for better firing arcs)

 

These ships are modular and share a common hull design with different weapon loadouts. They are essentially a larger cousin of the contemporary Donghae and Pohang corvettes.
 
See the readme for full details and credits. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

This is a package of 4 modern corvettes of the Republic of Korea Navy:
Donghae class (c.1983), armed with a 76mm gun and three twin 30mm AAA guns Pohang Flight II (c.1984), armed with a 76mm gun, two twin 30mm AAA guns, and two Exocet missiles Pohang Flight III (c.1986), armed with two 76mm guns and two twin 40mm AAA guns Pohang Flight IV (c.1988), armed with two 76mm guns, two twin 40mm AAA guns, and four Harpoon missiles

These ships are modular and share a common hull design with different weapon loadouts. They are considered frigates for task force generation.

This is correct 360-degree F-94B cockpit, to replace my earlier F-94C Starfire released in 2015 (as we lack Starfire model still...)
 
unpack to your F-94B folder, overwrite when asked (you might want to delete replacement cockpit folder first if exists any)

This pack contains flight crew figures designed to fit Veltro's WIP FW189, but they can be used for most any other German WW2 aircraft. There are two different pilot figures - a fighter pilot and a bomber pilot. There are also two gunner figures that - with some repositioning - 3D model guys can fit into aircraft they are working on.

The first production model of the Crusader was the F8U-1,which was later redesignated the F-8A. It first flew on September 20, 1955, and 318 were built between 1956 and 1958. The initial order had been for 448 aircraft, but the last 130 were delivered as F8U-1Es (F-8Bs). The first thirty aircraft were fitted with the Pratt & Whitney J57-P-12 engine, but this was replaced with the more powerful -4 version and in all subsequent F-8As. The original thirty were then retrofitted with the -4 as well. This made the F-8A a Mach 1.5 aircraft. Other improvements added during the production run included the addition of a retractable in-flight refueling probe in a blister on the forward left side of the fuselage. This was begun with the fiftieth production aircraft, and retrofitted to the earlier airframes. The original Vought ejection seat was replaced with the Martin Baker F5 seat.
 
The F-8A was armed with four 20mm canon, thirty-two 2.75-inch rockets in a drawer in the lower fuselage, and two Sidewinder missiles could be carried on fuselage stations. The AN/APG-30 gunsight radar and fire control system was installed for weapons delivery. The first aircraft was accepted for service in December 1956, just four years and three months after the issue of the original requirement by the Navy. It was delivered to VF-32 in March, 1957, with VMF-122 being the first Marine squadron to receive the Crusader. The first carrier deployment was with VF-32 on board the USS Saratoga, (CVA-60).
 
After being replaced with later versions of the Crusader, the F-8As were relegated to training roles, serving as advanced single-seat trainers. The designation TF-8A was often applied to these aircraft.
 
Your F-8A has early markings for either VA-32 or VF-122. The rocket armament IS INCLUDED but you will not see the drawer open and close.
 
This mod has been extensively tested in SF2V.
A read-me file with installation steps and CREDITS included.

SF2 FJ-3 Fury USN Skin Pack 2/19/2016
 
= For SF2, Any & All (Full-5 Merged Reccomended) =
 
This package contains 2 new Us Navy skins for the FJ-3/3M Fury.
 
This package contains skins for the following squadrons:
 
VF-91 "Red Lightnings" (USS Ticonderoga, WesPac, 1957/58 "NG" code)
VF-173 "Jesters" * (USS Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1956/57 "R" code)
 
(* note: VF-73 also was called Jesters, in approximately the same time frame!)
Also, for VF-173, I've suppled tail and wing code letters (AD) for it's deployment aboard USS Randolph (6th Fleet); although the profiles (in the skin folder) MAY be in error, as the time frame overlaps that of the deployment about the Rosie.
 
Almost all markings are decals, with the exception of some special squardron markings and color "zaps". The skins are in jpg format. Decal randomization is TRUE.

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.
 
Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
 
AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
 
ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
 
LANDING GEAR - belly light deploy/retract at any speed in late models
- nose lights activate/deactivate in early model. Lights must on.
 
A2A mode - gunner station guncross for turret.
 
A2Ground mode - pilot M73 cross.
 
ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
 
ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
 
ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
 
ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
 
WARNING!

This is totaly new file. I highly recomend to backup your old files. OR just delete all old files.
This is totaly new files and will not work in many parts with old.
 
For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
 
When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
 
There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.

SF2 BAE Sea Harrier II FA.5 (what if)
 
 
 
What if instead of upgrading their Sea Harrier FRS.1 to the FA.2 standard the Royal Navy joined the Harrier II program that produced the Harrier GR.5/7/9?
 
And so I give you the Sea Harrier FA.5/7/9

Dogfight version 2.2 for Thirdwire Simulators (Series 1 and Series 2)
 
Dogfight is a quick mission generator much like Microsofts Quick Combat and
Ubisofts Quick Mission Builder.
This simple little program is an attempt to add similar facility to Thirdwire products
without editing Mission files by hand, or struggling with a complex Mission Editor.
So, using it you should be up and flying against a selected opponent within a few
seconds (once you're use to the system anyway!).
 
As a template for the Missions I used a standard 1v1 fighter encounter so the action
begins very close together (2 km seperation for WWI types, slightly further for faster types).
 
To use you:
1)Start Dogfight.
2)Select aircraft types, numbers and heights, Pilot training etc.
3)Press the Red WRITE MISSIONbutton.
4)LEAVE Dogfight running.
5)Start the Thirdwire Simulator.
6)Go to the Single Mission page and then Load Mission Menu.
7)Click on the name of the mission that you just created in dogfight(default is "0 Dogfight").
 
8)When you want to change the mission click on Alt and Tab simultaneously.
9)Select Dogfight, make your changes and then press the red GENERATE button.
10)Return to the Thirdwire Simulator by clicking it on the task bar (or alt tabbing if you prefer).
11)ALWAYS RESELECT THE MISSION from the Single Mission-Load Misiion Menu to update the information.
12)Play the mission!
 
Repeat 8-12 as many times as you want
 
This sounds a bit long winded but you do soon get used to it.
 
Installion
-------------
Unzip Dogfight.zip.
 
Find the folder called Dogfightv2.2 containing:
templates (folder)
df.cfg
df.exe
readme.txt
 
COPY Dogfightv2.2 INTO THE TOP LEVEL OF THE DIRECTORY WHERE YOU INSTALL YOUR MODS
i.e Dogfightv2.2 and Objects are at the same level.
 
OPEN THE Dogfightv2.2 FOLDER AND CREATE A SHORTCUT FROM DF.exe TO YOUR DESKTOP
(or wherever you want to launch if from).
 
Testing
--------
DogFight has been tested with:
FE1 and FE2 (Viurtually all of the aircraft from CombatAce and the Skunkworks with Peter01 fms)
SF1 (chiefly SCW)
WOE (Principally Wings Over Russia and Wings Over Africa).
SF2, and SFNA2, (Skunkworks PTO) (CombatAce BOB) and with additional aircraft thrown in.
I've also tried it with some early Korean War era jets.
Only briefly tried it with more modern types.
 
The program was written using Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2010 C++ and FLTK.
FLTK (Fast Light Toolkit) is a great free package for constructing GUIs really quickly and easily.
Without it I doubt that I would have had time to write this program.
 
 
 
Thanks
 
Thanks to TK for creating a marvellous set of Sims. I love the way they work with TrackIR.
 
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the many add on creators at Combatace and
the Skunkworks who have given me many hours of great gaming.
 
I hope Dogfight helps to provide some entertainment for Thirdwire Simulator Users.

FIAT G55 "RAHMI"
 
HISTORY
 
While the "Western Infidel War " was in progress tensions between the Imperial State of Paran, and the Dhimari Principality, were at a high level, with small skirmishes and clashes on the borders. Paran managed to acquire some Fiat G55's from various sources ( not all of them legal) and equipped its number 1 Squadron, named the Huntress squadron, with these aircraft. 1 Squadron used these Fiats until 1947 when they re equipped with the S-199 SAIF, the remaining G 55's going into storage. Along with these aircraft and the S-99 ( Bf-109 G10) Parani fighter pilots learned their trade, and to great effect. The aircraft was given the name RAHMI or Lancer
 
Installation and blah blah
 
I have taken the existing Fiat G 55 and repainted it, you will noticed that the original marking ( Italian ) have been over painted and the Parani markings placed over the top, this has been done on purpose, to make these aircraft look like they were ex Italian airforce, and still retained their original markings, personally I think it looks pretty good done this way, so if you can see the original Italian insignia on the wings and tail, this is done on purpose, and not because of any rubbish painting on my behalf. I wasn't going to be doing any early aircraft for Paran/Dhimar, but a couple of people have expressed an interest in earlier aeroplanes, so this is the first one. As with all my uploads I hopefully have included everything you need , including the guns, as apparently some of you guys have had issues with guns not working, so now you have 'em, they will work !! I also advise you update your Soundlist files to reflect the sounds I have included with this package.

SF2 FJ-3 Fury Ini Update & Skin Pack 2/19/2016
 
= For SF2, Any & All (Full-5 Merged Reccomended) =
 
This package contains an update kit for NAA FJ-3/3M Fury (v2), available at the following URL:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/14053-sf2-naa-fj-3m-fury-ver2/
 
If you don't have it already, you'll need that mod first.
 
Like many (ok, most) of the other Sabres recently updated, the following items have been changed, added to, adjusted and whatevered:
 
updated hit boxes/collision points
corrected mis-named nodes
activated nose wheel steering
Exported now "TRUE", years now match Userlist (I'd forgotten US Marines is a seperate nation!!)
 
FM remains the same; I've just performed some very basic and small tweeks.
 
A new skin is included for VF-191 "Satan's Kittens" (that I'd forgotten to finish from 3 years ago!!)
All markings are decals, and the skin is in jpg format. The aircraft is finished in standard USN Gull Grey/White. I've supplied 18 modex number decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. The skin is basicly "blank", making it fairly easy to create other units, via decals.
 
As always the standard, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them!
 
Happy Landings!

*Please note the mod has been placed in the "F-86 Skins" section, as there isn't one specificly for FJ Furys

LI-2 "HESSAN"
 

HISTORY
 
Whilst the I.P.A.F.A. had been equipped with the AN-2 HESSAN, it was felt the requirement for the I.P.A.F. was more important and in need of a larger aircraft. So licence built copies of the C-47 Skytrain were purchased, from the USSR this aircraft the LI-2 CAB was issued to 2 squadrons of the I.P.A.F. Number 6 Squadron being a special ops unit, strangely, the name HESSAN was retained for this aircraft, mening that 2 different aircraft types bore the same name , although the were completely different airframes, it was felt the nomenclature HESSAN, or Horse, was applicable in both case ( In reality I cocked up, and forgot I already named the AN-2 the HESSAN, and I'm too lazy to change the names over !! ) As we all know the C-47 and its derivatives, are a long lived and popular aircraft still in wide use today.
 
 
 
Installation and blah blah
 
A repaint of the LI-2 with 2 skins for 5 and 6 Squadron of the I.P.A.F. No special information is needed for this aircraft, as with all my other uploads hopefully I have included all you need. ENJOY !!

AVIA S-92 "SAQR"
 

HISTORY
 
When the Parani Ministry of Defence approached the Avia company to purchase its S-199 and CS-199's, mention of purchasing Jet powered aircraft was made. The Avia Company, had acquired the plans and technical details of the ME-262, and had commenced production of their own version of this aircraft. The Parani MOD realised that this would be a cheap and cheerful way of breaking into jet powered machines, and, so, purchased a batch of the Avia S-92's they however asked for the original 4 gun pack to be replaced as they felt that just the 2 guns as fitted in standard S-92's was inadequate. The aircraft entered service in 1946 , and were in operational service up until the mid 50's with number 4 Squadron I.P.A.F. The Aircraft was given the name SAQR or Falcon, and was held in great admiration by the pilots that flew this aircraft.
 

Installation and blah blah
 
A repaint of the Avia S-92 no special information is needed for this aircraft, as with all my other uploads hopefully I have included all you need to make the Stormbird fly. ENJOY !!
