MiG-23PFM Fishtail-D Beta
*****************
----------------------------------------------------------
I. History
 
This is a "What if" plane. It was not real, but could have been it if the E-8 development line would not have been canceled in 1962.
Imagine: A lot of MiG ingenieurs did not agree with Mikoyans decision to stop the E-8 program. They made a proposal to use proven elements of the E-8 and the MiG-21PF to start a new project called E-9. Mikoyan agreed and intended to use the E-9 as gap filler till his favored project E-11, the later swing wing MiG-23 Flogger, was ready. In autumn 1963 the E-9 was ready for flight tests. It was a combination of MiG-21PF engine, wings and avionics with a new fuselage, tail and canards. The E-9 was accepted by the soviet air force in spring 1964 and entered the production line in summer 1964 as MiG-23F.
In 1966 the Soviet Air Force demanded to equip the new fighter with state of the art avionics and to increase the range. So the MiG-23 Fishtail got a bigger fuselageback fueltank, a modified vertical tail, a mirror on the canopy. Other modifications are the more powerfull R-13 engine and the Saphir-21 Radar, but in the version RP-23. It is not widely known, that the Saphir 21 was originaly developed for the E-8. Only with a smaller antenna it could be fitted in the MiG-21 as RP-22. The smaller antenna reduced the detection range of this radar by 10 km. An other welcome addition of the PF is the ability to carry one gunpod under the left wing root.
In 1970 the last and most advanced version of the Fishtail was accepted by the Soviet Air Force. New features were the R-25 engine and the big backfueltank. The combat abilities were incresed by a now internal GSha-23 gun, double short range IR missile rails and chaff flare dispensers.
 
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
II.
Known issues. It is still a beta. I know that the flight gear movement is not perfect. I know, that the skin is only a test shot, quick and dirty. etc.
I will try to make it better as fast as possible.

CREDITS: I want to say thank you to a lot of guys who helped me with files, ideas and hints. First of all i want to say thank you to Ricardo Batalha whos MiG-21 gmax file was the basic for this bird. Thanks to EricGen, Amokfloo, Blackbird, Wrench ... for their hints and ideas. A big thanks to Paladrian for the Cockpit.
And again a big thank you to TK for the MiG-21 flight modell that i modded to make this bird.

MiG-17PF of the EAF
 
***************************************************
I .Credits
***************************************************
The basic of my MiG-17PF is the J-5A of Fallout3, which you can find in the Combatace.com downloadsection Modern Era Aircraft/Aircraft of the PLAAF. Fallout3 made a new LOD file, so that an additionally nose section (as in the other MiG-17PF mods) is not longer neccessary.
 
The cockpit is the great MiG-21PFM cockpit made by MAGO & BADGER the BAD.
 
My share of this new bird are modified ini files and a new skin.
I made new data.ini on the basic of TK's stock MiG-17F, so the handling of the PF is similar to the F. I also made a new radar by using the datas i have found in the book "Flugzeuge und Hubschrauber der NVA von 1956 bis 1970".
 
Thanks to all whos files i have used to make this MiG-17PF.
 
***************************************************
II. MiG-17PF
***************************************************
The MiG-17PF was the successor of the MiG-17P, which was developed by the MiG OKB as a reaction on the radar equipped F-86 Sabre (Project SP). The flight performance of the P was not satisfying, thatswhy a new engine with afterburner was installed. So the PF was born. The PF was the first all weather frontline interceptor of the Soviet Union and formed for a relative short periode the backbone of the all weather interceptor fleet of the Warshaw Pact countries.
In combat action the MiG-17PF was used in the israeli-arab clashes but also in Vietnam. Some american spy planes were shot down over soviet territory by MiG-17PFs of the PVO.
The PF was armed only with 3 23mm guns. In contrary to the chinese copy J-5A the original MiG-17PF had no additionally hardpoints for missiles under the wing. Missiles came later with the gunless MiG-17PFU.
 
This mod represents an egyptian MiG-17PF before the 6 day war.

F-16D Brakeet for WOI
Heyl Ha Avir (Israeli Air Force)
-------------------------------------------------
 
I. This mod is written for WOI
--------------------------------------------------------------
II. The Heyl Ha Avir was the first Air Force who used the F-16D double seater mostly not as training aircraft, but as strike plane. The israeli Name of this bird is Brakeet what means Thunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------
III. I used the F-16D.lod of TeamViper, added TK's original Flightmodel of the F-16A and modded it to fit the F-16D Brakeet data. Differences to the original model are also, that i made the nose gear stearing, the ailerons are moving now. Chaff and Flares are shooting now upward. I added a Laser system etc pp...
I modded TK's original cockpit and avionics in that way, that now BVR missiles are available. The Radar screen now shows the naming of the different modes (not more 3 times AIR, but RWS,TWS,LOCK)
Finally i took Wilcos F-16 skin, modded it a little bit.
All this parts i put together to have a israeli F-16D Brakeet.

F-16B Netz Blk 5 for WOI
Heyl Ha Avir (Israeli Air Force)
-------------------------------------------------
 
I. This mod is written for WOI
--------------------------------------------------------------
II. The Heyl Ha Avir was the first Air Force who used the F-16B double seater in majority not as training aircraft, but as strike plane. The israeli name of this bird is Netz what means Falcon.
---------------------------------------------------------------
III. Credits: I used the F-16B_Netz.lod of TeamViper (USAFMTL, Swede,Wpnsgt etc.), added TK's original Flightmodel of the F-16A and modded it to fit the F-16B Netz data. The F-16B Netz now handles very well, take of speed at apporx 300 kph, landing speed approx 280 kph, 360° curve at 1000 meters with start speed 800 kph in 20 seconds.
Differences to the original model are also, that i made the nose gear stearing and the Chaff and Flares are shooting now upward. etc pp... Unfortunatly i was unable to make the ailerons moving. I tried it and it worked well, but the flaps started sometimes to flicker. Thatswhy i removed the working ailerons again.
I implemented TK's original cockpit and avionics and modded it a little bit so that the Radar screen now shows the naming of the different modes (not more 3 times AIR, but RWS,TWS,ACM,LOCK).
All this parts i put together to have a israeli F-16B Netz.
To say it clearly. I made only the finish. The credit of 99% of this bird belongs to team Viper and TK. The other 1% is mine.

F-16C Heyl Ha Avir (Israeli Air Force) for WOI
-------------------------------------------------
 
I. This mod is written for WOI
--------------------------------------------------------------
II. This is a mod to represent the F-16C, as it is flow by the IAF.
---------------------------------------------------------------
III. I used the great F-16A_blk15-belge LOD of the Mirage Factory (thanks for the permission to use it), added TK's original flightmodel of the F-16A and modded it to fit the F-16C data, gave the flares and chaffs an other ejection direction, made the frontgear stearing etc. Then i modded TK's original cockpit and avionics in that way, that now BVR missiles are available. The Radar modi now are displayed in the radar screen (not only Air anymore, but RWS,TWS,ACM,LOCK)
Then i asked Alejandro, wheter he could make a new lod file which contains antennas and a modified tail section similar to PeacePumas chilean F-16C. He made it for me, gave it a different color, so that i was able included it in the israeli bird. Finally i took Wilcos F-16 skin of the 115. Squadron, modded it a little bit.
All this parts i puzzeled together to have a israeli F-16C Barak. To say it clearly: I made only the finish, only approx. 1% of the job. The other 99% are made by Mirage Factory, TK, Alejandro and Wilco. And they did a great job!

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.
