Atlas Cheetah E south african Air Force
 
Install - Need Update July 2012 and DLC Mirage IIIO
 
The single-seater Cheetah E is regarded by most observers[who?] as having just been an interim fighter for use in the period before the Cheetah Cs became operational, due to the very short operational life of the Cheetah E, which was only a few years from its entry into operational service in 1987/88 to its retirement in 1992. It was fitted with a comparatively simple avionics suite and radar, and retained the Atar 9C-3 engine. Its typical mission while in service was as a standby interceptor, whereby a minimum of two aircraft, armed with two V3B (later V3C) missiles, would be on permanent alert status in case of an attack from the north.
All the aircraft were placed into storage, though the final example, No.842, was painted in a non-standard camouflage scheme and used for systems testing. No.842 is currently with the SAAF Museum, and is stored at AFB Swartkop. In 2003 Chile purchased five of the mothballed aircraft, numbers 819, 820, 827, 832 and 833. The country has also indicated its desire to purchase seven more aircraft (numbers 822, 823, 825, 828, 829, 831 and 834), subject to the agreement of a suitable purchase price. The Chilean Air Force (FACh) will use the Cheetah E airframes as a source of spares for its similar ENAER Pantera aircraft.

Sea Harrier FRS.2 for SF2 V1.1
******************************************
 
This update by Wrench, DTMDragon and myself brings the SF1 Sea Harrier FRS.2 upto SF2 standards. This has been designed to work on everything from any of the Stock Games (May '12 patched) including SF2:NA to a fully Modded install with NATO Fighters IV etc. The new weapons are standalone and will not affect other weapons packs, however you may see other weapons from your pack are available. Please use the ones labelled "Royal Navy (WEAPONS NAME)" (they're all grouped together for ease of use) as these have all been designed and/or modified for this Sea Harrier release specifically, even though the Weapons may seem to be identical to ones you already have.
 
Installation
-------------
 
Unzip then copy and paste these folders into your Mod folder (usually C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 or whatever yours is called).

Aircraft Specific Info -
---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Sea Harrier FRS.2 (1993-2006) - Used by the Royal Navy primarily for Fleet defence although it does have a useful, if limited, Strike/Anti-Ship capability. With it's immense power to weight ratio it accelerates/decelerates like a sports car and is 9G capable with a sustained 7G turn possible. Sadly the lack of money meant that the weapons loadout was fairly limited yet, for it's primary task, the Blue Vixen radar mated to the AMRAAM system proved to be world class.
 
 
OTHER INFO
-----------
 
Loadout Screen -
--------------
 
If you want to add the 2 Belly AMRAAM's (Group 5) in place of the gun pods (Group 4) then you also have to add the Belly Pylons which are also in Group 4 and they will replace the Gun Pods.
 
 
Issues & Optional Files -
---------------------------
 
Refuel Probe - Sadly this was never skinned in the original model and with the new high resolution skins we now have it looked truly terrible and just didn't work so we've removed it until such time as a new one can be made and added via Fake-Pilot.
 
Optional Files - 2 different Hanger/Loading Screens, just copy/paste them into the aircraft folder.

"What If" - Sea Harrier FA.4 for SF2 V1.1
********************************************************
 
This is my "What If" version of the SF2 Sea Harrier FRS.2 I helped update with Wrench and DTMDragon.
 
Shortly before the paperwork scrapping the Sea Harrier FRS.2 was supposed to have been signed a Secret memo came from the US DOD claiming that its replacement,the F-35, was going to be much delayed, probably until 2015-2020. Rather than leave the Royal Navy toothless for a generation the decision was made to upgrade the Sea Harrier to FA4 status as a stop-gap until the F-35 was ready.
 
As well as a new cockpit, strengthened wings, improved avionics including a new ECM jamming suite and a slightly upgraded Air to Air weapons suite the Navy now decided that it needed it's Aircraft to have a precision capability if was to play any part in any possible upcoming conflicts. By this point the technical boffins at the MOD had upgraded the RAFs precision strike armoury with some World Class munitions, which gave the Navy access to these new weapons allowing it to greatly expand the previously limited strike role of the Sea Harrier. The newly designated FA4 (Fighter/Attack) will lead the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy into a bright future which makes the descision to scrap them look short-sighted.
 
This has been designed to work on everything from any of the Stock Games (May '12 patched) including SF2:NA to a fully Modded install with NATO Fighters IV etc. The new weapons are standalone and will not affect other weapons packs, however you may see other weapons from your pack are available. Please use the ones labelled "Royal Navy/RAF (WEAPONS NAME)", they're all fairly grouped together for ease of use. These have all been designed and/or modified for this Sea Harrier release specifically, even though the Weapons may seem to be identical to ones you already have and may include upgrades to my previous weapons packs.

Sea Harrier FA4 (2007-2020) - Originally used by the Royal Navy primarily for Fleet defence this upgrade makes it a truly multirole weapons platform with a world leading capability. With it's immense power to weight ratio it accelerates/decelerates like a sports car and the new wing makes it 10G capable with a sustained 8G turn possible.
 
 
OTHER INFO

Loadout Screen -
--------------
 
If you want to add the 2 Belly AMRAAM's (Group 5) in place of the gun pods (Group 4) then you also have to add the Belly Pylons which are also in Group 4 and they will replace the Gun Pods.
 
Sniper Pod - As this is the F-16 Chin Sniper pod in the loadout it shows up on the centreline but in-game it's where the right gun pod would be. The stock loadouts which require the Sniper pod also have the Left gunpod included which isn't possible through the In-Game Loadout Screen.
 
There is a nice update in 2015 when the RAF Meteor Air to Air Missile becomes available.
 
 
Issues -
---------------------------
 
Refuel Probe - Sadly this was never skinned in the original model and with the new high resolution skins we now have it looked truly terrible and just didn't work so we've removed it until such time as a new one can be made and added via Fake-Pilot.
 
Cockpit - There's no nozzle gauge and the Weapons locations on the Left MFD can be a bit glitchy.

SF2 WW2 CBI P-40K-5 Skin & Tweeks Pak 11/14/2013
 
-- Something for the WW2 PTO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: this pak MAY be usable in 1stGen SF/Wo* game installs. However, some features
(decal randomization) will =NOT= be functional. Use in 1stGens has not, and cannot be,
tested by me.*
 
**Note x2: this mod is designed for use =ONLY= in a WW2 CBI-Centric mods folder. Some
Theatre specific changes have been effected, and should =ONLY= be used in the CBI!!!**
 
This is =NOT= the full aircraft; you'll be adding all this stuff to the original.
Some mods, tweeks, and 2 new skin/decal sets for Raven's P-40K-5-CU Warhawk, is seen in
China durning WW2.
 
Included are 2 skins for the 23rd FG, aka "Flying Tigers"
 
74th Fighter Squadron, in late 42 (star-and-ball)
 
75th Fighter Squadron, in late 43 (star-and-bar)
 
The squadron patch (ww2 versions!) will be seen as the paint chip for each skin on the
Loadout screen.
Skins remain in their bmp format.
New DDS damage textures (usable on all Raven's Warhawk/Kittyhawk in SF2 only) are
included!
Several new inis are included;
 
main
Data
Loadout
Userlist
 
The data ini makes use of my "kit-bashed" FM, that while (semi) SF2-compliant, still
needs fine tuning by an Expert. At least now, it won't mush into the ground and explode.
You are advised to back up your original inis, and full instructions are in the "To
Install" section.
The DF Loop antenna has been added via the 'fake pilot' method
Canopy Opens/Closes via the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0.
 
All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. There are no nose arts. Also,
via the use of my (patent pending) fake SqTail decal, the squadron name display is now
active on the Loadout Screen (74th only).
 
No weapons are included, except SF2 Versions of the new bombs (for those that haven't
converted them yet).
New SF-2 compliant "Box Art" style Hangar and Loading screens are included, too.
 
The skins have been run through the template (thank you Raven for that!), and have had a
layer of dirt and 'clouds' added for weathering.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE
read them!!
 
Good Hunting!!
