SF2 AD-4N/NA Skyraider, Armée de l'Air 4/3/2014
 
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED, at Latest Patch Level =
 
*At minimum, SF2:V is required, as this mod references the stock 3W A-1H lods.*
 
**Note: It is also =REQUIRED= you be at the lates (7/2013) SF2 patch level. The data ini supplied is FROM this last patch level. Those End Users NOT up to speed, may experience visual oddities on the aircraft, as some things have been changed over the last few patchs. No support is, or will be availalbe, to those End Users.**
 
This mod represents Skyraiders as used by the AdA in the early 1960s, and will give you a new, nationalized aircraft.
The aircrft represented here is from:
 
EC 3/20 "Oranie"
 
as seen in Algeria in the early 1960s.
 
All skins are in jpg format. All markings, excepting the squadron color bands, are decals. Recal randomization is TRUE. The aircraft BuNums are 100% correct for those Skyraiders in French service, but should be considered "generic" in nature as they do not represent any individual aircraft in any particular squadron.
The canopy opens with the Standard Animatin Keystroke, Shift/0.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read,
 
Happy Landings!

SF2 MiG-25 Foxbats
 
This mod package contains a collection of MiG-25 Foxbats, all converted and updated to SF2 standards. Included in the package are all the weapons, effects, pilots, and seats that you will need to install and use any of the aircraft in this package.
 
These aircraft can be used in SF2, SF2E, SF2V, SF2I, or SF2NA. To install and use them, you should ensure that your SF2 installation is patched to at least the Dec2009 patch level. See below for installation instructions.
 
Those familiar with the original MiG-25 Pack assembled by Dave (USAFTML) for SFP1 will rightly recognize that this updated package simply builds on the work of Dave and the entire team behind that original release. (The original ReadMe from that release is included here.)
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
To install, simply drag the \Effects and \Objects folders to your SF2 Mods Folder (NOT the folder that the game installs to). By default your Mod Folder should be located here:
 
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\ThirdWire\[Game]\
Windows Vista: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[Game]\
Windows 7: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[Game]\
 
...where [username] is the account you log into within Windows and [Game] is the name of the particular game mod folder that you're moving the files to. If the aircraft are not showing up in your Single Mission Aircraft menu, then you didn't install all the bits correctly.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aircraft & Nations Included
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
The following aircraft are included in this package:
 
MiG-25P Foxbat-A - Interceptor
MiG-25R Foxbat-B - Recon version

MiG-25PU Foxbat-C - 2 seat trainer
MiG-25PD Foxbat-E - Interceptor (updated)

Notes on Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
This package is largely an updating of the original MiG-25 Foxbat Pack to SF2 standards. I will not claim 100 percent technical and historical accuracy for every aspect of every aircraft, but I did consult a number of sources while preparing this package.
 
Several things are worth noting:
 
- landing gear for all aircraft is fixed, so aircraft no longer bounce
and teeter around on the ground or wander off into the weeds (this has
long been a pet peeve of mine with these aircraft, and I think I have
finally fixed the underlying problem);
 
- brake chute animation for the PD and PD Export version has been disabled,
as the animation appears to be partially broken, leaving the chute door
open during flight (strangely, this problem does not affect the other
models);
 
- all engines now have fake afterburner nodes (if you don't like their
appearance, you're welcome to substitute your own or turn them off);
 
- all aircraft use standard SF2 shadow statements (the included .SHD files
actually spawn those dreaded tractor beams, whereas a simple SF2 shadow
configuration does not).
 
It should also be noted that the skins included here are quite dated. If anyone is so inspired to create a new set of skins and decals (Paulopanz, I'm looking at you...), please contact me at CombatAce.com. I would be happy to incorporate a new set of skins and decals into an updated version of this package.

This package largely consists of work done by others and released previously in other packages. All I did was assemble the package, update the bits to SF2 standards, and make minor adjustments and tweaks here and there (discussed above).

The cockpits used in this package were built by:
 
Paladrian (MiG-21 cockpit)
Boopidoo & Badger the Bad (Su-15 cockpit)
 
Finally, I used a tweaked version of the fake afterburner node effect introduced by Spectre8750.
 
If I have neglected to credit anyone, please let me know -- it will be fixed ASAP. A copy of the original ReadMe for the MiG-25 Foxbat Pack for SFP1 is included in the same directory as this ReadMe. Any errors in this package are mine alone, so please do report bugs and inaccuracies to the CombatAce.com forum.

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-17F (NATO reporting name: "Fresco-C") is a high-subsonic fighter aircraft produced in the USSR from 1952 and operated by numerous air forces in many variants. It is an advanced development of the very similar appearing MiG-15 of the Korean War.
The MiG-17 first saw combat in 1958 over the Straits of Taiwan and was used as an effective threat against supersonic fighters of the United States in the Vietnam War. It was also briefly known as the "Type 38", by U.S. Air Force designation prior to the development of NATO codes.

DESERT 4 Mountain Regions+ Addon by Centurion and Piecemeal


 

Requires Piecemeals Desert 4 Terrain available here:




http://combatace.com/files/file/14551-desert-terrain-v4/

 
 
DESCRIPTION
This addon is for Piecemeals excellent Desert Terrain V.4 and adds more diversity to the mountain regions by adding several new tileset types. In addition to this, Piecemeal has modified all the city regions to be more diverse and less "square" and also changed movement routes and such. Overall, this makes the region more interesting to fly over.
 
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This patch updates the airfield names from the generic D1, D2 and so on to be specific place names. This will break you campaign files!!! Changing them to fix it is a simple matter of find-and-replace-all in notepad, however. Saved files will not work any more.
 
KNOWN ISSUES
Two airfields in the mountain regions have flattening issues that I have not been able to correct, if anyone could help us fix that would be great. AI Planes are bit bouncy there but the airbases are fully usable, it is mostly a visual issue.
 
CREDITS:
Piecemeal for the excellent V.4 terrain and the city tiling work + data tweaks.
TK for SF2 and the whole Dhimar/Paran scenario.
Stary and JSF Aggie for the tiles used here.
Centurion for doing the cut/paste operations required to bring this together. Minor tile tweaks.
 
INSTALLATION
Unzip the whole folder into your Terrains/Desert4 folder.
