Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

IL-28R
 
After Ilyushin had developed a two-pilot trainer version of the Il-28 Beagle,
they turned their attention to developing a reconnaissance version known as the Il-28R which first flew on 19 Apr 1950.
The Il-28R was equipped with a camera suite in the bomb bay, together with mountings for am portside oblique camera in the rear fuselage.
Various day or night cameras could be carried and for night photography 12 flares were also carried in the rear of the bomb bay.
Fitting a larger fuselage fuel tank, which abutted into the rear of the bomb bay and by adding wingtip tanks, increased the range of the Il-28R.
Although the rear tail gunner was retained, the right nose cannon was removed and replaced with camera controls – the bomb aiming radar was also removed.
Production of the Il-28R was authorised in late 1951 and it soon entered VVS service.

-Other notes-
-For the best gameplay experience, Play the Merc Campaign.
-For even Better gameplay experience, add any aircraft you want to gain more access of planes.
-Planning map is also included, so if you want to edit it to your reference, this map can help greatly.
-Campaign description is not edited (Focusing more on the gameplay instead of the Backstory)
-Some planes like the F-14D and F/A-18C are just renames of the F-14A and F/A-18A (It just sounds better)
-Because of such renaming, be ready to do some manual modding
-F-16C won't fire BVR missiles, so here is the link to fix not only the F-16C but all the F-16 series
http://forum.combatace.com/topic/49820-f-16-bvr-problem/
-modding the DATA.INI and Loadout.INI for all aircraft is a must
-There is the Stock campaign which comes along with it (Overwrite if you want, it is untouched)
 
Credit Goes to its respective owners of the aircraft, and mods, as well as Crusader for helping me
figure out the BVR issue for the F-16.
 
Future plans
I Want to work on a campaign that takes place in 20XX which feature generation 5 fighters.
I want to create the ultimate dogfight between the F-22 and Su-47, But until the Su-47 is complete,
These 4 campaigns will have to make do.

Junkers Ju-87R Stuka, for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE MTO Style Installs



-06 Patch Level Installs ONLY


 
This is a mod of Pasko's Ju-87B Stuka into the slightly later, long range version, the Ju-87R. The main difference is the 'duplication' of 2 of the under-wing hardpoints for the use of 2 300 ltr drop tanks. The 'stock' stations for the 4 small bombs are still intact for short-ranged use for CAS type mission. No other changes in the flight model or other data have been effected.
 
A completly new skin, from home-made templates based off the original skins, represents 4/StG.2 in North Africa in the approximate 1941-43 time frame. The aircraft carries a MTO/Desert finish (see Notes below for more info.) All new decals are included for individual aircraft, however research has shown that some letters were NOT used on the call sign/ID, so there's only 23. No number list is included; this will force the Game Engine ™ to cycle back to the beginning of the number set, when the last number is reached, allowing all aircraft to have -something- on their fuselage.
 
Data ini and loadout edits included all the lights being dialed in to their (more or less) proper positions, and the landing light now works. (see Notes below for just how). As stated above, 2 of the wing stations now carry drop tanks, but all are usable for bombs on shorter ranged missions. This is handled via the Loadout.ini. I took a 'SWAG' as to the STRIKE and Anti-Ship loadouts, and used the heavier 1000kg bomb. My research has been unable to determine if this is historically correct, but switching back to the 500kg is a simple text edit.
 
A new WoE-style Hangar Screen is included, as are the damage tgas I did some years back.
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed for use in SF/SFG/WoV/WoE, at the 06 patch level -ONLY-, It has =NOT= been tested it in post 08 patch SF/SFG/WoV/WoE/WoI. It has also NOT been tested in the NextGen, SF2 series. You use it in these enviroments at your own risk. =
 
=This mod is designed for use with the WW2 Weapons Pak by me, as it contains all the needed weapons . If attempting to use this aircraft with any other weapons pak, you'll need to add ALL the WW2 era bombs, torpedoes, guns, etc. They are NOT included in this package.=
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder somwhere, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. It's reccomended you read it all the way through, so as to be familarized with the procedures, and whatever issues I've encountered.
 
Happy Landings!

Junkers Ju-87B Picchiatelli, Regia Aeronautica, for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE MTO Style Installs



-06 Patch Level Installs ONLY


 
 
This is a mod of Pasko's Ju-87B Stuka into the version as used by the Italian Regia Aeronautica in the Med and North Africa.
 
This is a complete aircraft mod, with all the parts needed to just unzip, install and fly away.
 
The skin, while not perfectly historical (see Notes below), is based off the standard Luftwaffe splinter pattern of 70/71/65. It represents aircraft from 236 Squadriglia, 96 Gruppo in the timeframe of approximately 1940-42, when these aircraft were retired (ie: replaced with D models). Since no RA bombs exist, the aircraft uses 'standard issue' Luftwaffe weapons.
 
All the lights have been dialed in to their (more or less) proper positions, and the landing light now works. (see Notes below for how)
 
A new WoE-style Hangar Screens is included, along with a new Loading Screen, as are the damage tgas I made several years ago.
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed for use in SF/SFG/WoV/WoE, at the 06 patch level -ONLY-, It has =NOT= been tested it in post 08 patch SF/SFG/WoV/WoE/WoI. It has also NOT been tested in the NextGen, SF2 series. You use it in these enviroments at your own risk. =
