Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

This mod upgrades the HUD and radar for the A-4 variants to operate
with Avionics70.dll.
 
In this pack, you will find 5 folders of A-4 variants. Each variants'
avionics suite is unique to each other. The avionics suite is upgraded
appropriately for each variant.
 
......................................................................
 
A-4B: No radar; simple HUD displaying heading, speed, altitude,
attitude, waterline, and flightpath.
 
A-4C: AG radar; HUD updates include the additions of Waypoint data and
AG targeting data (depending on munitions).
 
A-4E: Same as the A-4C; HUD updates include the additions of flight
performance data.
 
A-4F: Same as the A-4E; HUD updates include the additions of a CCIP
 
A-4ese (Super Echo): AA and AG radar; HUD updates include AA targeting
data.
 
......................................................................
 
INSTALLATION: back-up you original files, then copy and paste each
A-4 folder into your aricraft folder. These aricrafts will require
the stock A-4B,C,E,and F lods from Wings Over Europe and Wings Over
Vietnam. In the A-4.ini file, it will advise of which lod file you
will need. The A-4_Cockpit.ini will advise of which cockpit.lod you
will need.
 
NOTE: these avionics suites may and are most likely not true to the
real A-4s. Since I couldn't find anyreference pictures of them, I
implemented what I would think would be somewhat believable. I just
didn't think that it would only be a yellow guncross. If you happen
to know exactly what the HUD would look like on a real A-4, you are
more than welcomed to make the changes and distribute the mod.
 
This mod will work in SFP1, WOV, WOE, and WOI.

Credits to Marcfighter and Lindr2 for their excellent work on the original FMs











1. SU-27SK/China J11 FM modified based on Marcfighter's original model











It has been a quite disappointment to see little discussion about the performance issue of Marcfighter's SU27SK after 2008 patch of WOX series. I doubt if there is still anyone other than me playing su27 nowadays.











The issue is quite apparent - under hard mode, su-27 has too much maneuvability that makes AI players run this bird into endless cobra-like movements in aircombat, which is an obviously unsustainable way leading to eventual disadvantage in dogfights due to low energy. The FM is also not stable in yaw leading to uncontrollable rolls at high AoA. When we "human" controlling this bird, it is also likely to have a blackout every 2 seconds.
 
So there is where I start tinkering - beat the trend to run into high AoA, while also maintain an overall agility. In this model, You find a much less effective stabilizer, it has smaller angle, and faster rotating speed. The aileron is also modifed to synchronize the motion of rotating. Drag is also modified to fit this change.
 
The test drive shows quite a good result - slightly better than the stock F15A, while enable AI play to maintain its energy. I play a few 12 x Su27 vs 16 F15+8 F4 case under hard/hard setting and had the chance to win out in all the case.

2. Mig 29G FM based on Lindr2's recent release of Mig 29 BM FM.
 




First I would like to thank Lindr2 for presenting us his serious Mig 29 BM FM, which is based on real data from russian/soviet references. As such I don;t have to modify most parts of this FM. most of my change focused on beating the trend to rotate back at x-horizon at low speed (IAS < 350kmh). A minor change also fix the problem that the model rotate the aileron and stabilizer at the wrong direction.
 
The overall outcome is also pleasing. The modified FM gives you a 50/50 chance to beat the stock F16 in WOI, hard mode. AI also run it well and can fight F18 at close to 1:1 shotdown ratio.

As always, this is freeware under the conditions of the "freeware licensing" topic.
No readme included. Just place the files to your "aircraft" folder and add the pilot name "PilotWP" to the entry in the aircrafts Data.ini file!

A real black numbered Mig-19S or S-105 at last!
 
You can choose to use the skin with the stock soviet Mig-19 or the local built S-105 mod.

F-4N Phantom II Updat Pak -- for SF/WoV/WoE/ -maybe-WoI and possibly SF2??
 
This is a small package of ini to bring the F-4N more up-to-date with the last round of patching.
 
Included are updated data, loadout (more in the notes section on that below), cockpit and avionics ini.
The changes are mostly based in the data and loadout inis, bringing them up to spec with to the post-patch world. (ie: updated AI sections and flight models). I've included the main ini (ie: F-4N.ini) as I made a few small changes there as well.
Other additions are the inclusion of an on-board ECM suite, with chaff/flares and internal jammer.
 
This has been tested in WoE (my main Laboratory of choice..) As it was originally built for SF, no worries there. WoV should also be no problem. It -should- work in WoI, but you may have to extract the F-4B LODs and SHD, as well as all the F-4J cockpit bits, as I don't believe they're anywere in any of the WoI Object.cats.
For SF2 users ... don't know what you to tell ya...you're on your own! But it -should- work, given that the B & J Phantoms already exist in that game.
 
As I'm not a FM Guru, this is mostly based on educated guesswork, but it flys and fights fine for me!!
Obviously, you'll need to have the original aircraft to add this update to. It's available at Column 5's site:
 
http://www.column5.us/aircraft2.shtml
 
As you've come to expect, there's detailed install instructions, and an interesting "General Notes" section in the enclosed readme ... so, do yourself a favor, and read the curssed thing!!!!
 
Good Hunting!

ps: the VF-111 skin seen in the screenie above is NOT included -in fact, it's just inis! It's a skin from a B model, with a simple edit of the decals ini, and viola! New F-4N skins...details in the readme

Decals for DDR (LSK) applied on silver basic, little edited, skins.
Complete working numbers sets for two versions.
No more not numberd or “00” evil ones planes .
 
Thanks to Delta576 for his “german mig-21mf decals”, that I edited (included).
 
I hope this will add "real" smell variety to your skies.
