    1. Boeing AH-64A Peten mod Ver 1.0 for SF2
       
      DISCLAIMER
      ----------
      This is a third party add on of the AH-64A Apache using models and cockpits created by Dels.
      Flight model and specific Israeli Peten mod was made by me.
       
      It is designed for and works in the SF2 series of games.
       
      This mod is made because of new upgraded Israel 2 Terrain by Wrench. - highly recommended by the way. Instead of working on Something Completely Different i was mixing with this great helo by Dels. So here it is.
       
      AH-64A Peten mod is made as specific aircraft for Israel. Nation Name is changed to Israel and service start date set to 1990.
      It was in my mind just simple mod (at the begining) but ended as little more complex. It is not perfect, but so far it works for now.
      I have changed FM my way. So there is a lot of changes in data file.
      It has a new engines system, new weapon stations, countermeasures and some other stuff.
      I have also put life into TADS and PNVS. Just fun in external view.
      And the most important thing is bumps, dispensers and whistles of Israeli Apache.
      I wanted to make two paint versions so fake pilot is not much help here. So Peten mod is added by weaponstation. Anyway gun is always on board. So this is how it works here.
       
      Some small changes into cockpit ini file.
      Also new Fuel tanks (CARC green and IAF tan) are provided plus M260 and M261 rocket launchers with different warheads. (same as in Cobra packs)
       
      Use vector thrust controll, rudder and controll throttle. It is easy to fly right now.
      Still working on better FM.
       
      WEAPONS
      -------------
       
      The AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and rails included in this package come from FastCargo's excellent "Hellfire and BrimStonefor SFP1/WOV/WOE (Version 1.1)".
      All credit to FC for them, Dels have arranged them in folders for SF2 and made some minor .ini changes. Dels also made the AGM-114K Hellfire II using FC's AGM-114A model.
       
      I made Hellfires as specific station code for IAF. Also skins are without US ARMY markings. So better to use this as it wil not overwrite anything in you weapons directory. Unless you named it same as me.
       
      Hellfire rails are made by FastCargo. I just rename it. I had some issues with loadouts. So again here you should depend on loadout.ini file.
      It always uses two rails upper M272 with two hellfires (up) and lower M299 (with two hellfires on bottom rails only)
      I don't know why but on loadout with 4 hellfires on M299 - in game it was always 3 shown. Strange.
      So to avoid conflicts with previous hellfire rails I made them as specific station code only for Peten.
       
      I am always using Specific station code so I don't have mess in Loadout menu. I can only see weapons that I can/need to carry.
       
      M260 and M261 Rocket launchers. There are two versions of these launchers CARC green and IAF Tan. Same as in my Cobra packs. You can overwrite (recomended). The only change here is display names. To avoid conflicts in loadout menu with previous launchers I changed CARCgreen to M260/M261.warhead.name.US and IAF Tan to M260/M261.warhead.name.IDF. You can overwrite. It wil still works with cobras and here with Peten and no mess with display names.
      Launchers uses my Mk66 hydra rockets. Also here in pack. Same as in latest Cobra packs.
       
      Important here is M230 ChainGun. It is a key to have a Peten mod for early green and late IAF camo.
      Gun is loaded by weaponstation. Also coded.
       
      New sound file for M230 is provided, with specific data entry into SOUNDLIST.ini.
       
      Stingers are available for loadout but i did not put it into loadout.ini. I never seen IAF Apaches with Stingers. Not much hostile flyers there ?
      No other IRM/ARM weapons allowed.
       
      GUNS
      -----------
      30MM_M230 same as in original Dels package but with edited sound file name.
       
      SKINS:
      ----------
      113 Tayeset as they started to use Peten in 1990 and later also 190 Tayeset starting 1995.
      190 Tayeset in new camouflaged tiger scheme from 2003/2004.
       
      All serial numbers as far as I know are historicaly correct, based on available information and photos.
       
       
      INSTALLATION
      ------------
      Copy files to specific folders.
       
       
      You can add the following to your squadronlist.ini
       
      [squadron ---]
      Name=113IAF
      DisplayName=113 Tayeset "Ha'Tsira'a"
      Nation=Israel
       
      [squadron ---]
      Name=190-2IAF
      DisplayName=190 Tayeset "Maga Hakesem"

      Higly recomended to use Diego's helopilots.
      or you can use whatever you like by editing the
      AH-64A_Data.ini

    4. Hi!
       
      Here are two skins for the stock F-105D (SF2V). They're based on the MOD proposed by Sundowner that you can find here:

      I just have add the pin up, and victory marks.
       
      Just copy and paste in your mod folder!
       
      Enjoy!

    6. SF2 WW2 PTO Douglas P-70 Nighthawk (DAT) Tweeks Pak 4/24/2015
       
      = For SF2 (Any, but Full 4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED/REQUIRED!) ONLY =
       
      **This mod will -NOT- work in 1stGen game installs.**
       
      This pak contains mods for the Dev A-Teams USAAF P-70 Nighthawk night fighter, as seen in the SoWesPac in 1943 thru 1944.
      This is an INCOMPLETE aircraft mod, as the main aircraft lod is =NOT= included, as per DAT directives. If you cannot access their downloads, don't bother downloading THIS mod, as it will be of no use to you. All other parts are included.
      See "Change Log" in the Notes section for more details and full credits.
       
      This package contains 2 aircraft, each with 2 skins. While tagged for the 6th NFS, 18th FG, they should be considered 'generic' for all the squadrons (4, iirc, with never more than 6-8 aircraft each) operating in SoWesPac. All aircraft are finished in overall Black (or Night, if you will):
       
      The 2 aircraft are:
       
      P-70 (no suffix, with 20mm belly gun pack and 2 cheek 50 cals for sighting the 20s)
      P-70A-1/-2 (with 6-gun A-20G type nose)
       
      The Skins are:
       
      Early, star-and-ball
      Late, star-and-bar (after 10/43)
       
      All markings (insignia, serials, etc) are decals. All skins are in jpg format. There are NO nose arts or other distinctive markings.
      All new, 100% historical serial number decals were created. Both skins for each aircraft use the same pool of 18 serials. Decal randomization is TRUE.
      The serials, while historically correct for the 2 versions depicted, should be considered generic in nature, as it's impossible to run down individual aircraft to a particular squadron.
      The Late skins for both uses the SF2 "date switch", and will automatically turn on in October, 1943 (although, the early A model may have been withdrawn from service eariler, or converted at local modification centers to the 6-gun "G" type nose).
      All skins are tagged as "6th NFS", even though at least 3 other units were operational in SoWesPac. Consider this a 'representative' unit.
      Operational dates have been adjusted to closest whole month. The P-70 has an end date of 1/1944, and the A-1/-2 has a start date 7/1943 through 5/1944 when P-61s were deployed in theatre.
      The radar "arrowhead" transmitter and "H" fuselage and "V" wing antennas have been added via the fake pilot method.
      The cockpit hatch opens with the Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0. My 'box art' style Hangar screen is included, now is SF2 format.
       
      When in game you'll see on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown
       
      P-70
      P-70A-1/-2
       
      This is to diferentiate the cannon equipped version from the 6-gun nosed version.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!
      It is HIGHLY suggested you unzip this archive FIRST, and =READ= the install instructions BEFORE installing this mod. So you know EXACTLY what to do. Of course, read the Notes section for notes, enlightments, and so forth.
       
      Good Luck!
