CV-22
By krfrge
CV-22B for SFP1, WoE, WoI. '08 Patch level
This is my modification of Zurawski's MV-22B into the USAF's CV-22.
The CV-22 is the Special Operation Forces variant of the U.S. Marine Corps MV-22 Osprey. The first two test aircraft were delivered to Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., in September 2000. The 58th Special Operations Wing at Kirtland AFB, N.M., began CV-22 aircrew training with the first two production aircraft in August 2006.
The first operational CV-22 was delivered to Air Force Special Operations Command's 1st Special Operations Wing at Hurlburt Field, Fla., in January 2007. Initial operational capability was achieved in 2009. The 27th Special Operations Wing, Cannon Air Force Base, NM, received its first CV-22 in May 2010.

F-111G USAF
By Piglet_7
The USAF Air Combat Command had converted 34 FB-111A aircraft in 1988 for weapons trainning 1989-1993, then in 1994 15 F-111G Aardvarks were purchased for the RAAF to exetend the life of the R\F-111C "Pig".
Upgrades are:
-Damage Textures
-Wing Angles
-Higher Weapons Bay Loadout
-Nav Lights
-Textures
-Engine Effects
-Cockpit Textures
-Speed (Mach 2+) now you can outrun Vipers on the deck :)
-RWR symbols and sounds
Sorry about the Strip Lights
I did use the FB-111A model to give the F-111G a realistic loadout. I have included Black BRU-3A bomb racks in the Weapons folder.
Thanks to

Iraq SuperEtendard Skin Pack (multiple skins)
By Ariell
This is a pack of skins for Super Etendard , I tried to recreate the almost unknown skin Supertendard who fought in the lran - Iraq war . It's almost impossible to get documentation from the 5 aircraft that France provided Iraq during the 80s . Knowing that the numerals were from 7445-7449 . Two of these aircraft were shot down in a fight . Had few raids getting some targets oil tankers crossing the gulf.
I created these skins based on the only color photo I found on the net, but also created 8 skins with possible colors that might have these aircraft. I created the numerals from the real and completing a total of 15 numerals of which 10 are fictitious , and is just not to get problems in the simulator. Just choose the color you like and put it in the "Irak" folder. There is also a skin color in each folder with a Red Intake skin if you want to use as well . Fuel tanks go up in the next update , because the color reflection gave me trouble to let them equal to each skin. Good vuelo.Ariell . -
Este es un pack de pieles para Superetendard, he tratado de recrear la casi desconocida piel de los Supertendard que combatieron en la guerra de lran-Iraq. Es casi imposible conseguir documentación de los 5 aviones que Francia proveyó a Irak durante los 80s. Si se sabe que los numerales eran desde 7445 a 7449. Dos de estos aviones fueron derribados en pelea. Tuvieron pocas incursiones obteniendo algunos objetivos sobre buques petroleros que cruzaban el golfo.
Yo he creado estas pieles en base a la única foto en color que encontre en la red, pero también creé 8 pieles mas con los colores posibles que pudieron tener estos aviones. He creado los numerales desde los reales y completando un total de 15 numerales de los cuales 10 son ficticios, y es solo para no obtener problemas en el simulador. Solo escoja el color que le guste y pongalo en la carpeta "Irak". También hay un skin en cada carpeta de color con una piel Red Intake por si desea usarlo así. Los tanques de combustible los subiré en proxima update, por que la reflexion del color me dio problemas para dejarlos iguales a cada piel. Buen vuelo.Ariell.-

Su-25A Grach/Frogfoot Repack
First of all this plane is here because of the hard work of the following people:
AmokFloo
76.IAP-Blackbird
Ordway
Uhu
Armour Dave
Sal
and many others...
This is a repack of the Su-25A attack aircraft remade for SF-1 and tested in WoE October 2008 patch.
The original authors of this baby are AmokFloo and 76.IAP-Blackbird, who made the great model for SF-2, and then
Uhu recoded the ini files and made everything compatible with SF-1. I have later merged it with the fantastic MiG-27
cockpit made by Armour Dave and Sal, which was posted by Ordway.
I liked the Su-25T/39 version a lot but it was a little bit to much for me, and to much for the Russian Air force I guess. So this is what I have been waiting for.
A simpler, more down to earth version, rugged but still quite deadly in the capable hands. Reminds me a lot of the old Su-25A days of the LOMAC series!
WARNING: Except for the gun there are no other weapons in this pack for this bird so make sure you have some juicy Russian weapon pack installed.
P.S. There are some great skins for it made by WINGSOVERISRAEL at:

MiG-21bisD pack
By Gepard
MiG-21bisD german updateprogram (What if)
***********************************
----------------------------------------------------------
I. This mod is written for WoX
(a SF2 version will follow later)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
II. History:
In January 1991 the Bundesverteidigungsministerium (ministery of defence of the Federal Republic Germany) decided to phase out all MiG-21 which were handed over after the reunification of Germany and scrap them.
Two mounth later ingenieurs of the german DASA company (became later part of EADS) wrote a letter of memorandum to the chairmen of their company. In their memo they stated, that an updateprogram for the MiG-21 would be a profitable cashcow for the DASA company. As reasons for their statement they gave some points:
1. Repair and updatefacilities are already existing with the Flugzeugwerft Dresden
2. Skilled personal is available
3. Good connections to eastern Europe contries are given, because a lot of WP MiG's were repaired and overhauled in Dresden in the past.
4. The eastern european states are attempting to leave the zone of influence of the Sovietunion and will try to become closer to the western alliance.
5. The economic situation of the former WP states is so weak, that it is unlikely, that they will be able to purchase modern western equipment in the next decade. What means, that they will use the weapons they already have for a while.
6. The backbone of the fighter fleet of states like Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Romania is still the MiG-21. Its an easy and cheap to operate plane and it is believed, that this plane will held in operational status till the year 2000.
Conclusion: For states which are willing to become members of the NATO and still operating the MiG-21 is an offer of a german made MiG-21 update program a welcome gift. It brings the MiG-21 to NATO standard and helps the economic weak states to operate a significant fighter fleet.To support our selling attempts is is neccessary, that the Luftwaffe must operate the updated MiG-21 in significant numbers over a periode of 5 years minimum.
In March 1991 the chairmen of the DASA decided to start a MiG-21 update program. Close informal connections to the Bundeskanzleramt and the MOD changed the fate of the MiG-21 in german service. The former east german Jagdgeschwader 8, based in Preschen, was relaunched under the new name "Erprobungsgeschwader 8". As operating aircraft only the MiG-21bis was choosen.
In April 1991, the DASA offered 3 update levels for the MiG-21 with the task to improve the combat capabilities of the plane by minimal changes in original design. The project name was MiG-21bisD. The D stands for Deutschland, the german name for Germany.
MiG-21bisD1, electronic update. It consist of the replacement of the RP-22 radar with the italian Grifo-7M, the implementation of an avionics container at the tailfin root, which contains an internal jammer SPS-142, a chaff - flare dispenser and parts of the NATO compatible radio equipment. The weapon system was modified to operate Sidewinder missiles, side by side with soviet made weapons. Only the R-3R missile was withdrawn, because the radar was unable to guide this weapon. The first MiG-21bisD1 was ready in November 1991 and entered the german service in spring 1992. In August 1992 the first MiG-21bisD1 was sold to Poland.
MiG-21bisD2, agility update. With this update the MiG-21bis got a pair of canards to improve the agility of the plane, an inflight refuel probe, new NATO compatible radio and a new french made IFF system. The radar RP-22 was slightly improved by better computers, so that the range was increased by 10% and the target quisition time reduced by 50%. The weapon system changes consist only of the Sidewinder implementation. The first D2 was completed in December 1991 and entered german service in summer 1992. First costumer was the Czech Republic in spring 1993, followed by Hungary in summer 1993.
MiG-21bisD3, full NATO compatibility. This modification included the MiG-21bisD1 avionic update and the D2 agility update. Additionally the plane plane got a new engine. The old R-25-300 was replaced by the RB-199 Mk.105 which was developed for the Tornado ECR. It was ~ 5% stronger than the R-25 and a good piece shorter. The now existing space was used for a bigger internal fuel volume. In Spring 1992 the first MiG-21bisD3 started for maiden flight, but the program came to a temporary stop, when the british company GEC Marconi Avionics offered their Blue Hawk and Blue Vixen radars to the program. In summer 1992 the implementation of the Blue Vixen was finished and in spring 1993 the plane became able to operate the new american AIM-120A AMRAAM missile. The first MiG-21bisD3 entered the german service in November 1993. It proofed as a reliable, capable and cheap to operate aircraft. In 1993 the "Erprobungsgeschwader 8" was renamed in JG75 "Erich Hartmann". It operated the MiG-21bisD3 and a later D4 update till it was replaced by the first Eurofighter Typhoon in 2004.
Poland got the D3 in 1995, Romania in 1996. India showed an increased interesse for a licence production of the D3, but when the USA denied the AMRAAM capability India retreated from program and purchased the MiG-21BISON from Russia.

I have just modified it a bit.
It is designed for and works in the SF1 and SF2 series.
However this pack is build on SF1 folder tree.
For SF2 You have to separete Decals folders.
There is a plenty of tutorials how to convert to SF2 series.
There is a issue with tractorbeamshadow. I will try to fix this asap.
For now temporary i dont have posibility to convert and work on SF2 sim. Temporary.

******************IMPORTANT******************
This addon works only with my WeaponPACK.
For this Q model you should download standard weapon pack for AH-1G.
You can download it here:
http://combatace.com/files/file/15215-ah-1g-weaponpack/
New weapons specific for this model are already included in this package.
All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with Cobra WeaponPACK.
Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
LANDING GEAR - belly light deploy/retract at any speed in late models
- nose lights activate/deactivate in early model. Lights must on.
A2A mode - gunner station guncross for turret.
A2Ground mode - pilot M73 cross.
ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
Outboard TOW pylons. You can load 4 or 8 BGM-71 Missiles. Upper M65 launcher is made as StationGroupID=3 and lowwer M65 launcher is StationGroupID=4. Either you can load only on upper launcher or both lower and upper.
Of course loading onl on lower without upper will look silly. But this is thirdwire game engine. We can't change it. Unfortunately in loadout menu option for 2 BGM-71 will appear. Well i don't know how to limit station to load only on weapon rack. Do not use it also. It doesn't look good. And missile has no launching tube.
Guns are loaded as weaponstations so player got options.
For updates visit on:
strikechoppers.wordpress.com
There is skin only for 11 ACR in Europe. Well Q was upgraded to S(MOD) quickly so not much info to find about Q in units.
All serial numbers are proper for Q model but am not sure if these numbers appeared in 11th ACR.
15086 for sure was there.
This pack contains already weapons folder. There you will find 2 new weapons and one weapon rack for this Q model Cobra.
BGM-71A
BGM-71B
TOW launcher tubes.
Also you have to download my WeaponPACK for AH-1G so this helo can work properly. Otherwise there will be no rocket pods, guns etc.

F-105F and G Thunderchief introduction & History
***********************************
The F-105F was heavily committed to combat over Southeast Asia. Some were quickly adapted for the "Wild Weasel" air-defense suppression role, fitted with electronics to detect enemy radars and target air defense sites for destruction in advance of strike packages. The original Air Force "Wild Weasel I" was a modified two-seat North American F-100F Super Sabre, but the F-100 wasn't fast enough to keep up with F-105 strike packages, and so the F-105F was selected for the role.
The major elements of the modification were addition of the "APR-25 Radar Homing And Warning (RHAW)" system, which picked up and located radar sites; the "APR-26 Launch Warning Receiver (LWR)", which provided warning of a missile launch; and an "IR-133 Scan Receiver" to search for emitters. The back-seat "electronics warfare officer (EWO)" controlled these devices and had a cockpit CRT to help locate targets.
The first such F-105F "Wild Weasel II", sometimes informally known as an "EF-105F", performed its first flight on 15 January 1966, and the Wild Weasel Thuds were engaged in active combat by the spring of that year. A total of 86 Wild Weasel F-105F conversions were performed.
The Wild Weasel F-105F was armed with the new "AGM-45 Shrike Anti-Radar Missile (ARM)", a modified Sparrow AAM with a radar-homing head, to destroy radar transmitters, and attacked air-defense sites with CBU-24 cluster bombs and other munitions. Sometimes Wild Weasel F-105Fs worked with F-105Ds in "hunter-killer" teams, with the Wild Weasel Thud pinpointing the target and the F-105Ds destroying it.
While other aircraft could avoid air-defense sites when possible, Wild Weasels actually had to attract their attention and take them on. This led to the Wild Weasel motto, which was "YGBSM", standing for "You Gotta Be s**ttin' Me!" Apparently this was the reaction of the first Wild Weasel aircrews when they were told what they were getting themselves into.
Wild Weasel crews were generally gutsy sorts, and they evolved tactics for outflying SAMs launched at them. They would watch for a missile launch, and then fly straight at the SAM at high speed, turning at the last moment. The fast-moving SAM would not be able to turn quickly enough to bring the fighter into the blast radius of its warhead.
Two Wild Weasel F-105F pilots won the highest American military award, the Congressional Medal of Honor. On 10 March 1967, Captain Merlyn F. Dethlefsen was piloting one of four Wild Weasel Thuds paving the way for a strike package. The leader was shot down by anti-aircraft fire, and North Vietnamese MiG-21 fighter made repeated passes on the survivors, trying to force them to dump their ordnance. Dethlefsen pressed home the attack anyway and destroyed the site. All three surviving Wild Weasels returned home with severe damage. Dethlefsen was personally awarded the medal by President Johnson.
On 19 April 1967, Lieutenant Colonel Leo K. Thorsness had completed a Wild Weasel strike when his wingmates were shot down. He was low on fuel but stayed around to cover the air rescue operation, driving of a flight of MiG-17s that tried to interfere. Thorsness shot down one MiG and damaged another. He passed up an opportunity to refuel from a tanker when another aircraft breathing fumes showed up, and landed safely at Ubon, a forward base in Thailand.
On 30 April, Thorsness' F-105 was hit and badly damaged. He and his EWO ejected, Thorsness being badly injured in the process, and were captured by the North Vietnamese. They spent over six years in a North Vietnamese POW camp.
* 56 Wild Weasel F-105Fs were later updated to an improved "Wild Weasel III" configuration with the designation "F-105G", featuring improved avionics, as well as jammer pods that were faired into the forward fuselage, freeing up the underwing pylons for other stores. 14 of the F-105Gs were further modified to carry the big AGM-78 "Standard Anti-Radar Missile (STARM)", an air-launched variant of the US Navy's "Standard" SAM.

Any mistakes are solely mine...
The Guys at the SimHQ SFP1 forums, CombatAce, & Column5's forums for inspiration, enlightenment and keeping
the faith in allowing SFP1 to mature and grow.
========================================================================================
NOTES:
A. This mod is primarily intended for WOV, but was tested in & will work for the earlier SFP1 series
Sims.
B. v1.8 Changes since the earlier versions in IAF MiG Pack v1.6:
1. As SFP1 becomes more difficult to find, WOV compatibility is crucial. Cockpits of the earlier
versions were based on the stock SFP1 F-104G. This has been changed to the A-4B & A-4C pits common to both
SFP1 & WOV. Both pits are a stopgap until the SFP1/WOV modding community releases proper MiG cockpits.
2. Availiblity of WOV allows for the more accurate MiG-21PF .LODs as opposed to the earlier PFM LODs in
order to reflect the fact the Type 76 was based on the Soviet MiG-21PF, and the Type 77 based on the Soviet
MiG-21FL models. Type 74 continues to use the MiG-21F .LODs. IAF 23mm Gunpod continues to be a compromise
until such time as a proper GP-9 gunpod is introduced. Droptanks for the Type 74 & Type 76 MiGs are deleted.
It is known that the Type 74 used some form of IAF availible non-Soviet droptank, but we still
haven't been able to determine which one. Soviet 490 ltr tanks were only introduced with the Type 77.
3. In keeping with further research, all the IAF MiG-21 series now have working Radar Warning Recievers. IAF
MiGs were originally fitted with Serina 2 rear hemisphere RWRs then further upgraded.
4. The Indians were initially very skeptical of the MiG-21P ( Fishbed-Cs with the 30mm guns removed ) that the
Soviets initially offered for sale. IAF pilots demanded & got the Soviets to jury rig a GP-9 Gunpod to the Type
74 Migs before delivery to India. Type 76 Migs were also supposed to recieve this modification, but the 1965
India-Pakistan War broke out before this could be carried out. During the War, IAF pilots of the 28th "1st
Supersonics" Sqdn saw extensive service. Due to a lack of AA-2 missiles, the Type 74s used the gunpod exclusively
in battle, while the scarce AA-2 Atolls were reserved for the gunless Type 76 MiGs. Fortunately for the Indians, the
Pakistanis also suffered from a shortage of AIM-9B Sidewinders for their F-86F-35 Sabres & F-104A Starfighters.
After the 1965 War, the IAF quickly replaced both the Type 74 and Type 76 MiGs with the Type 77s. Soviet Doctrine,
which had favored missiles at the expense of guns on fighters, was changed by the combat experiences of the Indians
in 1965, and the North Vietnamese during the 1960s...

Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star
By BUFF
The two-place T-33 jet was designed for training pilots already qualified to fly propeller-driven aircraft. It was developed from the single-seat F-80 fighter by lengthening the fuselage slightly more than three feet to accommodate a second cockpit.
Originally designed the TF-80C, the T-33 made its first flight in March 1948. Production continued until August 1959 with 5,691 T-33s built. In addition to its use as a trainer, the T-33 has been used for such tasks as drone director and target towing, and in some countries even as a combat aircraft. The RT-33A version, reconnaissance aircraft produced primarily for use by foreign countries, had a camera installed in the nose and additional equipment in the rear cockpit.

MiG-21SMT Fishbed-K
By Gepard
MiG-21SMT Fishbed-K for SFP1, WOI, WOE, WOV
*************************************
HISTORY
*************************************
In the late 60th the soviet frontline aviation demanded a longer range MiG-21 for primary use as carrier for tactical nuclear weapons to the central european war theatre.
The MiG-OKB choosed the MiG-21SM as basic for the development and simply enlarged the backfueltank, so that now the internal fuel amount climbed to 2.950 litres (2.400 lbs). The new bird was called MiG-21SMT. The T stands for "topliwo", what means "fuel".
All SMT were prepared for the nuclear strike role.
Only a relative small number of SMT's were built. They served mostly as dedicated nuc carriers at airfields in the GDR (east germany)
**********************************************

Finally some words:
The F-16A arab nations is my thank you for Team Viper who made the most job for this bird. I only gave them the colors of the egyptian and jordan air forces and tweaked it a little bit, so that they now flying for the red side. I also played a little bit with the cockpit data and made finaly a new loading screen. But without the great skills of Team Viper F-16A arab nations would never have born.
And here the names of the guys who made the most of the job (99%):
Original Model by Swede
