F-4ES Cockpit & HUD Upgrade Version 1.0
By Piecemeal
F-4ES Cockpit & HUD Upgrade Version 1.0 by Ultramax
This is my first serious attempt at 'cockpit conversion', so please be gentle guys! It was originally inspired
by Doghouse's brilliant F-4ES 'Super Phantom II' upgrade and I thought to myself that the picture would be
completed with a snazzy new cockpit to make the most of the Phantom's newfound versatility.
Although I haven't tested it on them, I'm sure it would also make a brilliant addition to the F-4F ICE and
Kurness 2000 upgrades.
Contents:
Cockpit: Hi-Res cockpit by sundowner
RWR Display: Radar & TV display files by Wingwiner
Avionics and HUD display files originated from the Mirage Factory F-15A
PS: If I've forgotten to mention anybody please let me know.
If you have any queries please don't hesitate to contact me on the forum and I'll be sure to
respond ASAP.
Installation:
Just place all the files into your aircraft ini file and place these entries in the appropriate sections:
CockpitDataFile=F-4ES_cockpit.ini
AvionicsDataFilename=F-4ES_AVIONICS.INI
You'll also need to have the F-4E_COCKPIT.LOD from SFP1 or SFG.
BTW, don't forget to change 'avionics60' to 'avionics70' - otherwise it won't work!
HAPPY HI-TECH FLYING!!

MiG-27K Cockpit with complex working HUD- Ultimate ground attack fighter version of the MiG-27 series
By ordway
Mig-27K (Flogger-J2) ground attack fighter cockpit (SFP1 series) made by Ordway, Starfighter2, lindr2 based on color cockpit photos and cockpit diagrams.
Original cockpit made by Armourdave and Sal.
Avionics and optional advanced flight model by Nele.
You need avionics 70 and the latest patch updates from Thirdwire. Tested on Windows XP and not Vista. However it might work on Vista too.
This is the cockpit for the ultimate Soviet MIG-27K ground attack fighter in 1980. It was the ultimate MiG-27 version.
It has a different cockpit from all the rest of the MiG-27s with more complexity and by far the most complex HUD. The MiG-27K added a laser designator and compatibility with TV-guided electro-optical weapons. Around 200 were built.
It would probably have been one of the first attackers against NATO in a NATO versus Soviet block confrontation in the 1980s (under the tense relations of the American administration of "Ronney-the-Ray Gun". It is referenced from color photographs and original cockpit diagrams.
The real TV screen will appear as usual, in the upper right hand corner when using many guided bombs/missiles. No one I knew could figure out how to make it work on the instrument panel in the correct area....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MiG-27K History:
Initial flight of the ultimate MiG-27K prototype was in December 1974. It was finally accepted into service in 1980. Its avionics were so state-of-the-art (for the Soviets), that it took quite a while to work out all the bugs and make it operational.
The MiG 27, had superb low altitude, high speed capabilities and could out run many other fighters.
The MiG-27K could carry all the "smart" munitions including the KAB-500L LGB.

Directions:
1) Download Lindr2's Mig-27 series at
http://forum.combata...p;showfile=6576
2) Back it up just in case.
3) Just download the contents of whole filefolder Mig-27K intact into your aircraft folder as one folder.
4) When asked to overwrite say yes.
-Finished!
Thanks to Lindr2 for all his sustained hard and dedicated work.
Thanks to Armourdave and Sal for the original cockpit. Thanks to Lindr2 and Epizikl for help with the cockpit research and photos. Thanks to Lindr2 for the various TV (optical) cockpit images.
Thanks to Armour Dave and Sal for the cockpit.
Thanks to Starfighter2, lindr2 for the Mig-23P HUD which has stymied modelers until now that I know of.

MiG-27M cockpit- Soviet leading ground attack fighter to attack in a NATO/Warsaw pact 1970s confrontation-Simplified from the "K" model, with BMP TV screen.

MiG-27M History:
The MiG 27, had superb low altitude, high speed capabilities and could out run many other fighters.
Concerns over the complexity (and unreliability) of the very advanced MiG-27K ground attack fighter led to the development of a simpler variant, the "MiG-27M". It retained much of the MiG-27K's electronics including a jammer, but featured a cheaper and less sophisticated nav-attack suite. The MiG-27M could carry all the "smart" munitions carried by the MiG-27K except for the KAB-500L LGB. The MiG-27M was externally very hard to tell from a MiG-27K.
Initial flight of the first MiG-27M, a converted MiG-27, was in April 1976, and the type went into production in 1978 in Siberia . 162 Soviet-built MiG-27Ms were delivered into 1982.
However, from 1982, the decision was made to upgrade most of the older MiG-27 fleet to MiG-27M standards and this of course evemntually added hugely to the over all total number of MiG-27Ms.
The MiG-27M was license-built by one user, the Indian Air Force (IAF) starting in the mid-1980s, with the first HAL machine, assembled from a kit performing its initial flight on 11 January 1986. A total of 165 HAL MiG-27Ms -- sometimes referred to with the designation of "MiG-27ML

MiG-27( MiG-23BM) and separate MiG-27D dedicated ground attack variant cockpits (First production versions) and leading attacker in a Warsaw Pact Nato central front confrontation
By ordway
This is both the MiG-27(MiG-23BM) and MiG-27D dedicated ground attack fighter/bomber variant cockpits for SFP1 series Lindr2's MiG-27 FloggerD and MiG-27D available below:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6576
It is based on the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-23 fighter aircraft, but optimized for the air-to-ground role. Additional cockpit armor was installed, along with a totally new nav-attack system. The MiG-27 was first operational in 1973. However unlike the MiG-23, the MiG-27 did not see widespread use outside the Soviet Union, as most other countries opted for the MiG-23BN ground attack fighter. It would have been one of the leading WARSAW Pact elements of a NATO central front attack.
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6576
It has an extremely different gunsight (and no radar) and different panel compared to the Mig-23 fighter series.
This was the first MiG-27 version.
I had quite a hard time getting the plain MiG-27 working, so now both should work.
They both have different loadout capabilties and operational time frames from one another. They also have different equipment from one another as they were basically the same except that the MiG-27D was more optimized for nuclear strike and had more panels for that. The Mig-27D was also apparently kept on nuclear alert much like the US used the F-111.
Directions:
1) Download Lindr2's MiG-27 series at
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6576
2) Back it up just in case.
3) Just download the contents of both filefolders MiG-27 and MiG-27D intact into your aircraft folder.
4) When asked to overwrite say yes.
-Finished!
4) OPTIONAL: Add Nele's alternate advanced MiG-27 flight model/ECM (data.ini) which is in the NeilFlightModel folder called MiG-27_data.ini. Just pop it in and overwrite when asked...back it up as always.
The original flight model is also included in the Nele folder titled "original" in case you want to go back to the original flight model and data file.
I personally strongly recommend it for getting an accurate feel of the Mig-27 according to the published reports I have researched...but it is not for beginners.
Thanks to Lindr2 for all his sustained hard, dedicated and excellent work!
Thanks to Armourdave and Sal for the original cockpit. Thanks to Lindr2 and Epizikl for help with the cockpit research and photos.

Mig-23UB cockpit tandem seat trainer/fighter with working UB HUD
By ordway
This is the Mig-23UB two seat trainer/fighter cockpit for Lindr2's masterful Mig-23UB.
The Mig-23UB was the Mig-23M's two-seat trainer. Production began in 1970 with about 1000 airframes. It has the Mig-23M HUD from Starfighter 2 and Lindr2, but has no radar as it apparently seemed too problematic to maintain in real life.
It was used for training and was heavily exported as some countries lost almost one fourth of their entire Mig-23 fleet to accidents. It had a backup fighter role...but without radar, it was limited.
It apparently kept the ASP-23D sight, the Kh-23 Delta-NM missile guiding equipment, the camera, and the R-3S and R-13M missiles for a limited anti-air capability.
It added, an AOA limiter and angle of attack indicator, the Poliot-1I-23 flight/navigation system with the SAU-23UB autopilot , a better failure warning system and a rear cockpit periscope were installed
Thanks to Nele for the optional alternate detailed UB flight model.
So the Mig-23UB usually had *no radar* on most airframes (some units might have retained radar).
It has a map, pencil and stopwatch for those precision approaches.
Oh...and why is 310 K/Hr plastered all over the cockpit- Read on!
From flying a two seat Mig-23: "Then we retracted flaps to take off position as he let me do the take off and fly around the pattern again. From the back on final all the instructor kept saying was 310 kilometers airspeed over and over."

Directions:
1) Back up your Lindr2 Mig-23UB folder or download it first from:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=9712.
2) Just download the whole filefolder Mig-23UB intact into your aircraft folder as one folder.

MIG-23MS Cockpit- export combat veteran version- Tangled with USN F-14s Version V.1.3 (Also version used by USAF Constant Peg aggressor program in USA).
By ordway
This is the SFP1 series cockpit (version 1.0) for the first export version Mig-23, the Mig-23MS of the Mirage factory. Download the Mirage Factory Mig-23 package here:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...le=5211Mig-23MS cockpit almost ready.
This is the Mig-23MS cockpit in a light blue Russian color (from photos) and modded to the Mig-23MS standard from Armourdave and Sal's Mig-23 grey-colored cockpit. I believe that Mago & Badger 343rd did the orginal cockpit.
Changes:
I repainted it in a light Russian blue (from color photos) and added (and took away) some details, placards, added new switches and instruments and panels from color photos and Mig-23 cockpit diagrams of the Mig-23Ss. I deleted the radar warning reciever and eliminated the pitot tube.
The Mig-23 series was the USSR's "most capable tactical fighter during the height of the cold war" according to a Jane's recognition guide.*
The Mig-23MS export version saw heavy Arab-Israeli combat in the middle east and had combat with USN F-14s near Libya. It was a downgraded Mig-23 S/M export version with a Mig-21 RP-22SM 'Jay Bird' radar in a smaller radome, and the IRST was removed. It reportedly had a radar scope on the dash like the Mig-21 series. This variant had no BVR capability.
It was extremely fast at low level, had outstanding acceleration and a superb climb rate. However, it maneuvered like a truck (including roll). It reportedly shot down some Israeli F-4s and perhaps an Israeli F-16 according to some Russian and some other sources.
http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_273.shtml
I find in the SFP1 series that if I attack enemy aircraft at max speed at extremely low level, that I can pop up and even kill an occasional F-16 and escape.
Directions:
1) Back up your Mig-23M folder .
2) Now secondly download this other additional Mig-23 package from the Mirage Factory and install it (the Mig-23MS will not work without it):
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5211
2) Just put this whole filefolder Mig-23MS contents into the Mig-23MS aircraft folder .
3) When asked to overwrite say yes.
Finished!
4) OPTIONAL: Add Nele's advanced Mig-23MS flight model...not for beginners. Just take the Mig-23MS_data.ini from the included Nele folder and drop it into the Mig-23MS folder. Say yes when asked to overwrite.
To go back to the easy original flight model just use the Mig-23MS_data.ini from the included original folder and drop it into the Mig-23MS folder. Say yes when asked to overwrite.
Enjoy!
Thanks to Mago & Badger 343rd for the original Mig-21 cockpit.
Thanks to Armourdave and Sal for the idea and modifying the Mago/Badger Mig-21 cockpit for original Mig-23 use so I could modify it further into Mig-23MS standards. Thanks to Nele for the optional advanced flight model.
V.1.2- I added buttons under the warning light panels as per photos and from experience on
the Mig-27 cockpits.
V.1.3- I made a panel wider and more visible. I added on a Hobbs-type meter.

Mig23-P cockpit-Air Defense version- PVO Strany (enemy info displayed on HUD) V1.3
By ordway
Mig-23P cockpit made by Ordway, Starfighter2, lindr2.
Original cockpit made by Armourdave and Sal.
Avionics and optional advanced flight model by Nele.
The Mig-23P was the "within-borders" air-defense version with the enemies' data listed on the HUD. It had incredible data linking capabilities.
For SFP1 series. Just dump the whole Mig-23P folder into your aircraft folder. Almost no independent "P" version exists so this is a whole independent self-sufficient folder based on Starfighter2s avionics and Armourdave and Sal's Mig-23 variations. You need avionics 70 and the latest patch updates from Thirdwire. Tested on Windows XP and not Vista. However it might work on Vista too.
This is the Mig-23P cockpit in a Russian blue color and modded to the Mig-23P standard from Armourdave and Sal's Mig-23 grey-colored cockpit.
I repainted it and added some details, placards, new switches and instruments from color photos.
Starfighter, with massive help from Lindr2, made the brilliant,indespensible Mig-23 P-specific HUD while I had hit a brick wall trying to make a Mig-23 HUD work. They also made the new avionics.ini.
http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_184.shtml
---------------------------------------------------------------------
History: So, the Mig-23P (Flogger-G) was an advanced Mig-23. It had a heck of an advanced HUD compared to previous Mig-23s. This was a specialized air-defense interceptor variant developed for the PVO Strany. It had the same airframe and powerplant as the MiG-23ML, but there is a cut-back fin root fillet instead of the original extended one on other models.
Its avionics suite was improved to meet PVO requirements and mission profiles. Its radar was the improved Sapfir-23P, which could be used in conjunction with the gunsight for better look-down/shoot-down capabilities to counter increasing low-level threats like cruise missiles. The IRST, however, was absent. The autopilot included a new digital computer, and it was linked with the Lasur-M datalink. This enabled ground-controlled interception (GCI) ground stations to steer the aircraft towards the target; in such an intercept, all the pilot had to do was control the engine and use the weapons. The MiG-23P was the most numerous PVO interceptor in the 1980s.
Around 500 aircraft were manufactured between 1978-81. The MiG-23P was never exported and served only within the PVO in Soviet service.
Thanks to Armour Dave and Sal for the cockpit.
Thanks to Starfighter2, lindr2 for the Mig-23P HUD which has stymied modelers until now that I know of.
Thanks to the Mirage factory for the Mig-23ML downloadable as a pack from combatace in the pack called Mirage Factory MiG-23 "Flogger" Series.
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5211
If I forgot anyone, I appologize and please tell me.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Mig-23 had incredible strengths and incredible weaknesses.
WEAKNESSES: For weaknesses, most Mig-23s never could turn or roll very well compared to its enemies and had very heavy controls. Its roll was hurt by its control system (spoilers and a diferential tail and the disconnection of spoilers at any but 16 degrees).
In close in combat it was a deathtrap because unless the pilot stayed within certain tight maneuvering limits, it would often lose control and simply crash. Its cockpit visiblility was one of the worst of any fighter. Visibility is life in a dogfight.
It had slushy controls in many areas of its flight regime and its nose would often hunt back and forth. Its unpredictable accelerated stall was often taking ones life into ones hands if attempted. It also had the typical Soviet disadvantage of a very short range. There are reports of its radar not working much of the time and it often not being mission ready.
It is hard to use an aircraft if it is not working.
Red Eagles, Steve Davies "Flying the Mig-23"
http://books.google.com/books?id=6yJ8gfVAm...lt&resnum=4
It is true that later versions had much improved handling/systems. However, I understand that maneuvering limits still existed.
http://dewarbirdracing.com/Airplanes/MiG23...87/Default.aspx
http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/vie...20-%200508.html
STRENGTHS: For advantages, it had one of the best accelerations of any frontline fighter with its swing-wing swept back (even by today's standards).
It was incredibly fast at tree top level and could sustain that high speed at low level whereas most other fighters had such a rough low-level ride as to be unsustainable.
Another advantage was its incredible climb rate (for its time) of around 45,000 feet/min ("Fighters", Mike Spick). In other words, it was well suited as an interceptor.
Directions:
1) Back up your Mig-23P folder. If you have a Mig-23P folder, this will overwrite almost everything in it.
2) Just download the whole filefolder Mig-23P intact into your aircraft folder as one folder.
3) When asked to overwrite say yes.
4) OPTIONAL: Add Nele's accurate Mig-23P flight model/ (data.ini) which is in the NeilFlightModel folder called MiG-23P_data.ini. Just pop it in and overwrite when asked...back it up as always.
I personally strongly recommend it for getting an accurate feel of the Mig-23P according to the published reports I have researched...but its not for beginners.
V1.3- I added knobs under the warning panels, Neles avionics and gave the option for Nele's accurate Mig-23P flight model.

Mig-23ML cockpit (Version 1.1) made by Richard "Pitts2A" Ordway, Starfighter2, lindr2.
For SFP1 series. For Mirage Factory Mig-23ML. You need avionics 70 and the latest patch updates from Thirdwire. Tested on Windows XP and not Vista. However it might work on Vista too.
This is the Mig-23ML cockpit in a Russian dark green color (from color photos of a Mig-23ML-look at the color photo in the folder) and modded to the Mig-23ML standard from Armourdave and Sal's Mig-23 grey-colored cockpit.
I repainted it and added some details, placards, new switches and instruments from color photos. According to Nele, some airframes of the ML did have the SPS-141 onboard ecm jammer.
Starfighter, with massive help from Lindr2, made the brilliant, indispensible Mig-23 ML-specific HUD while I (and most of the community) had hit a brick wall trying to make an accurate Mig-23 HUD work. They also made the new avionics.ini and cockpit.ini.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HISTORY:
The Mig-23ML had a big event on 27 September 1987. It is not much contested that in a wide-ranging dogfight one of two Mig-23MLs hit one of two maneuvering SAAF Mirage F.1s with a R-23R AA missile in air-to air combat and that the Mirage never landed safely. The two Mig-23MLs did land safely. Both sides apparently were ground controlled.
So the SAAF (South African Air Force) Mirage F.1 never made it safely back because of air-air combat damage. It crashed on attempting to land and was totaled to never fly again. To me that is a kill, but to each their own.
http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_184.shtml
One can conclude that in actual air-air combat against a well trained enemy, the Mig-23ML proved it was historically capable of killing another maneuvering fighter without losses.
The Mig-23 had some advantages over other fighters. It's acceleration was reputed to be outstanding even by today's standards. It could unusually hug the ground and fly at high speeds for long times unlike most other fighters which would almost break apart due to turbulence. For its time it also had an incredible climb rate. Finally, it was an extremely short takeoff and landing aircraft in case of nuclear war with its swing-wings.
It was also the Soviet's first swing-wing fighter and designed for BVR (beyond visual range) combat.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Directions:
1) Back up your Mig-23ML folder .
2) Now secondly download this other additional Mig-23 package from the Mirage Factory and install it (the Mig-23ML will not work without it):
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5211
2) Just put this whole filefolder Mig-23ML contents into the Mig-23ML aircraft folder .
3) When asked to overwrite say yes.
4) OPTIONAL: Add Nele's accurate Mig-23ML flight model/ECM (data.ini) which is in the NeilFlightModel folder called MiG-23ML_data.ini. Just pop it in and overwrite when asked...back it up as always.
I personally strongly recommend it for getting an accurate feel of the Mig-23ML according to the published reports I have researched...but its not for beginners.
Thanks to Starfighter2, lindr2 for the Mig-23ML HUD which has stymied modelers until now that I know of. Incredible milestone!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.1- I made several realistic changes and brought it up to the M version's acccuracy standard. I made the directions more clear thanks to user feedback.
There are sharp differences between the early and late cockpits such as instrument location, RADAR and gunsight.
V1.3- I added knobs under the warning panels and gave the option for Nele's accurate Mig-23ML flight model.

Mig-23MLD Cockpit (Ultimate, final Mig-23 version-1982) with working Mig-23MLD HUDV1.3
By ordway
This is the Mig-23MLD cockpit. The Mig-23MLD was the "ultimate" and last version Mig-23 released starting in 1982. I added quite a few changes compared to the earlier ones including a new HUD from Starfighter 2 and Lindr2, a new cockpit color and changed the gunsight around to match photos better. It now has two new knobs on it according to photos.
So the late Mig-23MLD was quite a cooker too. It was lighter than earlier versions (to dogfight better) and finally added chaff and flares (most sources state, however, that it had no on-board ECM. However on-board ECM was added to the ground attack version- the Mig-27K). Apparently a prototype "Mig-23MLDG" had on-board ECM, so as usual things get cloudy with this airplane. According to Nele, some airframes of the MLD did have the SPS-141 onboard ecm jammer.
The MiG-23MLD was the most advanced version of the Flogger. It had a different identification-friend-or-foe system (IFF), a more advanced missile capability and a distinctive notch in the leading edge of the wing to improve flight characteristics at high angles of attack.
The flight-control system was modified to improve handling and safety in high-AoA maneuvers (dogfighting). Huge imrovements were made in avionics and survivability: the Sapfir-23MLA-II radar featured improved modes for look-down/shoot-down and close-in fighting. A new SPO-15L radar warning receiver was installed, along with chaff/flare dispensers. The new and effective R-73 (NATO: AA-11 'Archer') short-range air-to-air missile was added to inventory.
They were apparently produced between 1982-85 during the cold war years and would have been available for the "Ronney the Ray-gun" era. They were not produced new but were upgrades to existing 'ML/MLA' versions.
V 1.3 I added knobs to under some warning lights. I took out the provisions for an onboard SPS-141 ECM as some airframes had them and others not (mostly not). I added an optional accurate flight model (Nele's) and optional Gardeniya external ECM pod. I added Nele's more accurate avionics.ini.

Mig-23M Fighter Cockpit (First Mass Production Version) with working Mig-23M HUD V1.5
By ordway
This is the SFP1 series cockpit (version 1.3) for the first mass produced Mig-23 version, the Mig-23M of the Mirage factory. Download the Mig-23 package here:

Mig-23M cockpit additions made by Richard "Pitts2A" Ordway, Starfighter2, lindr2. Thanks to Armour Dave and Sal for the cockpit
For SFP1 series. For Mirage Factory Mig-23ML. You need the latest patch updates from Thirdwire. Tested on Windows XP and not Vista. However it might work on Vista too.
This is the Mig-23M cockpit in a very dark Russian green color (from photos)and modded to the Mig-23M standard from Armourdave and Sal's Mig-23 powder blue-colored cockpit.
I repainted it and added some details, placards, new switches and instruments from color photos.
Starfighter, with massive help from Lindr2, made the brilliant,indespensible Mig-23 M-specific HUD while I had hit a brick wall trying to make an accurate Mig-23 HUD work. They also made the new avionics.ini.
http://www.acig.org/artman/publish/article_184.shtml
The Mig-23M first flew on June 1972 around the time of the Viet Nam War.
It was produced from 1972-1978 and reportedly had a total of more than 1,300 planes built.
Its avionics suite was improved over the preproduction Mig-23S (Flogger A) and was probably the first VVS fighter to have limited look-down/shoot-down capabilities and be effective in the BVR (beyond visual range)environment.
It's radar, when working, was reportedly generally equal to the F-4J's.
In actual air-air combat against a well trained enemy, the Mig-23 proved it was historically capable of killing other maneuvering and aware fighters.
However, it had such maneuvering restictions that dogfighting was almost suicide.
IN SFP1, I find, that if you stay fast at treetop level, you can pop up and dispatch even an occasional F-16 and be away before you get killed.
Thanks to Armour Dave and Sal for the cockpit.

----------------------------------------------------------------
The Mig-23 had incredible strengths and incredible weaknesses.
WEAKNESSES: For weaknesses, most Mig-23s never could turn or roll very well compared to its enemies and had very heavy controls. Its roll was hurt by its control system (spoilers and a diferential tail and the disconnection of spoilers at any but 16 degrees).
In close in combat it was a deathtrap because unless the pilot stayed within certain tight maneuvering limits, it would often lose control and simply crash. Its cockpit visiblility was one of the worst of any fighter. Visibility is life in a dogfight.
It had slushy controls in many areas of its flight regime and its nose would often hunt back and forth. Its unpredictable accelerated stall was often taking ones life into ones hands if attempted. It also had the typical Soviet disadvantage of a very short range. There are reports of its radar not working much of the time and it often not being mission ready.
It is hard to use an aircraft if it is not working.
Red Eagles, Steve Davies "Flying the Mig-23"
http://books.google.com/books?id=6yJ8gfVAm...lt&resnum=4
It is true that later versions had much improved handling/systems. However, I understand that maneuvering limits still existed.
http://dewarbirdracing.com/Airplanes/MiG23...87/Default.aspx
http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/vie...20-%200508.html
STRENGTHS: For advantages, it had one of the best accelerations of any frontline fighter with its swing-wing swept back (even by today's standards).
It was incredibly fast at tree top level and could sustain that high speed at low level whereas most other fighters had such a rough low-level ride as to be unsustainable.
Another advantage was its incredible climb rate (for its time) of around 45,000 feet/min ("Fighters", Mike Spick). In other words, it was well suited as an interceptor.

1) Back up your Mig-23M folder .

3) When asked to overwrite say yes.
Enjoy!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.1- I added some warning lights on the main dash and subtracted the threat panel. I subtracted the warning light panel on the side panel and put in a warning panel as per photos. Finally, I added a round threat panel on the far right. The change is quite remarkable for accuracy.
Version 1.2- I made the directions more clear thanks to user feedback. I added one more panel according to photos.
Version 1.3- I added an .ini so that it would be easier to install with the .70 avionics already included. I upgraded the radar to the later Sapfir-23D-III radar (the Mig-23 apparently had three versions of differing strength).
Version 1.4 -I added knobs under the warning light panels after refining techniques from the Mig-27 series cockpits.
Version 1.5- I redid the avionics.ini because some people were having problems with the HUD appearing.

Pilot Legs Developer Pack
By Klavs81
Simple .3ds and Max 9 files containing the legs I used for the F-35.
Drop it into your cockpit mesh to relieve that phantom limb syndrome.
This is NOT, repeat NOT a plugin for Strike Fighters, it is for developers to add to their cockpits if they so choose. If somebody wants to play around with them and try adding them as an ini, feel free, but it ain't gonna be me!
Cheers.

Ordway's Early MiG Pits -Upgrade/Repair Package
By Wrench
Early MiG Series Cockpit Upgrade/Repair Pakage
for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE/WoI & SF2/SF2:V/SF2:E
This is a rebulid of Ordway's Early MiG pits for use in ALL the 3rd Wire Series. It's designed for the following aircraft (and/or variants thereof):
MiG-15bis (by Pasko)
Stock 3rdWire:
MiG-17 Fresco-A
MiG-17F Fresco-C
MiG-19S Farmer-C
It is also, therefore, completly useable for any of the myriad 3rd-Party mods of variants of these aircraft (excepting those Frescos and Farmers that are radar equipped -doh!)
Specifialy, it's designed to REPLACE the original versions, as some (including myself) have experienced odd CTDs with an 'aircraftobject.dll' fault in the SF2 series.. By rebuilding these with a STOCK A-4B cockpit lod (albeit from WoE), and reusing Mr. Ordway's VERY COOL gauge bmp repaints, and re-editing the A-4B_cockpit ini, this has been eliminated. This mod has been EXTENSIVELY tested in SF2, as this was the basis and reason for the 'fix', and will work in the Classic Series just as well as the originals. All necessary parts are included.
I even snuck in some Generic WoE-style Hangar screens for the 17 & 19. These will also work in ANY version of the sim.
As always, it's reccomended that you unzip this package to temp folder, or your desktop, to gain access to the rest of the readme for it's specific instructions. Which are gonna run a bit on the long side....so you probably (read: SHOULD) read the document all the way through first before installing. Just to be safe, doncha know :yes:
With expecial thanks to Mr. R. Ordway for creating these in the first place!!
Good Hunting!

ps: yes, that's still the original screenie. why mess with a good shot?

IL-28 Beagle Cockpit & Ini Upgrade Pak
By Wrench
IL-28 Beagle Cockpit Upgrade for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE/WoI and SF2
Modifications and repaints to the stock F-4B Phantom cockpit creates a 'reasonably facsimile' twin-jet engine pit for use on the otherwise "AI Only" Ilyushin IL-28 'Beagle". I say 'reasonable', as the Real Life , the Beagle didn't have a radar scope in the cockpit; all that was handled by the bomb aimer/navigator. But, this will allow the Player Pilot some control over what happens.
This is a complete package, with all the necessary bits to just unzip, and install into your game install of choice. As I knew this mod would work in the Classic Series (SF/SFG/Wo-whatever), most of the testing was done is SF2. This assured me that all would work (more or less) as advertised.
For SF2/2:V players, specfic inis for those games are included, edited as necessary to match those of the Classic Series.
For Classic Series users, the data ini included is for use in those installs at the 08 patch level.
Both data inis included herein have had some small adjustments in the gun aim angles, and landing lights added for those bothersome night operations, and a small tweek to the landing gear's rolling radius.
Also included is a generic WoE-Style hangar screen (usable in ALL versions of the series), and the loadout.bmp for the Loading Screen. For those that don't have them, the MiG-style RWR sounds are here for your enjoyment and panicification (with no display, you won't know WHAT kind of radar, or where ... just somebody's looking at YOU!!! <evil grin> )
As always, detailed instruction are included below in the "To Install" section. It's reccomended that you unzip this package to temp folder or your desktop to gain access to the rest of the readme FOR said instructions. The "Notes and Other Nonsensical Ramblings" section will make good reading too, for explinations and etc.
Enjoy!

B-52 series pit placeholder
By X RAY
This pit will be a placeholder til a good soul will make a proper Buff pit.
Basically is the TK's A-6E pit and avionics placed inside the model via Lexx Luthor's stargetic pit mode.
What you must do to see this feature is:
Go into your Flight folder and in the FLIGHTENGINE.ini replace this entries:
[NearSceneClip]
FarClipDistance=250.0
NearClipDistance=0.2
Than check that any Buff have
AvionicsDLL=Avionics60.dll
And replace the cockpit and avionics.INI's in each folder.
Add the proper pilot as you like.

This will add fake bombs to your model:
FLIR and LLLTV are EOGB's using their guidance to simulate EVS vision
REVOLVER is a fake MER used into bomb bay as SRAM mount.
Remember that they are droppable like bombs,so take off select LLTV or FLIR depending of day and nightime flying missions,than select SRAM or your main weapon loadout,drop it and than heading back home switching back to your selected viewing system!
If somebody fix it is always welcome or anyway this is the way to use it correctly!
CREDITS:
TK and TW team for the A-6E pit and INIs
Lexx Luthor for the stargetic pit method
Gbreuder help me finding the correct seat positioning
Dave to let me be a part of the project.
REMEMBER that is only a placeholder pit!
just to let work on mine SRAM/Harpoons loadout that you find inside tha late G and H models inside the Megapack.
Also a very special thanks to everyone involved in the project:

Enhanced gun sight for Mirage IIIc Shahak in woi
By guyran
Enhanced gun sight for Mirage IIIc Shahak
In Wings over Israel
The original gun sight of the shahak was too dull, especially against brighter sky.
I made the moving gun sight more solid against the background, by repainting it.
To install:
Copy the included cockpit folder into
Wings Over Israel\Objects\Aircraft\Shahak directory
To restore the previous gun sight just delete the file MIRAGE3_SIGHT_MOVING.TGA
Included are some screenshots of the enhanced piper
Enjoy

F-102A Delta Dagger Cockpit (Field Modified) V.5
By ordway
This is a field-modified Convair F-102A Delta Dagger cockpit for Veltro2k's beautiful F-102A based on Pasko's F-106 stunning cockpit.
It has been modified over time by crews in the field as newer equipment came in and older equipment broke down and needed to be replaced. Apparently historically after time, almost no two F-102A cockpits had the same equipment in the same places as the others.
This is based on Pasko's beautiful later Convair F-106A Delta Dart Cockpit.
Tape gages were eliminated. Round gages were added. The moving map was removed and the radar display was changed and made a historically correct orange. The radar hood was made into a F-102A version. Lots of other detail work done was from actual color cockpit photos. It is much "greyer" and simpler than the later F-106A cockpit.
The F-102A was actually involved in air-air combat in Viet Nam while on a B-52 escort mission. One F-102A was shot down in ambush by a Mig 21 with an Atoll missile on 3 February 1968 according to the ACIG website. Another F-102A shot several Hughes AIM-4 falcon missiles at a Mig-21 but the results were not seen.
According to the ACIG website, a Turkish F-102A was in combat against Greek F-5s with shootdowns and other combats reported in July 1974.
http://s188567700.online.de/CMS/index.php?...14&Itemid=1
Thanks to Pasko for his fantastic F-106 cockpit included in the complete later F-106A Delta Dart that you can download at CombatAce.
If I forgot anyone, I appologize and please tell me. I finished this cockpit about a year before the Veltro2k F-102A was released and I lost track of things.
Apparently some USAAF Viet Nam pilots jury-rigged a mini-gun into the F-102 for some extra buzz.
Version History:
V.2 You can now see the wing tips and wing tanks from the cockpit...thanks for Lexx_luthor's suggestion
Thanks to Dave to point out the goof I made that it was Pasko's F-106 cockpit and not Dave's that I based the model on.
V.3 Added to the bottom right instrument panel: 1) an AC voltmeter and 2) a master warning test and reset switch which some photos show and 3) more detail to the warning light panel as per color cockpit photos making it even more different than the standard F-106 cockpit.
V.4 Added the huge signature F-102A red nav indicator light to the middle of the panel. Changed the colors of the artificial horizon to F-102 specific colors and markings. Changed the colors of the Radio direction instrument to F-102 specific colors and markings. This is probably the final version.
V.5 I now included the very specific F-102A artificial horizon this time with gray-blue top, gray markings, black bottom with blue markings which I left out in V.4 by mistake. If you compared the photo with the current F-102A artificial horizon, you can probably see the difference.
A visual thread showing these additions:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=39881
Instructions:
1-Backup your files!
2- Unzip the F-102 cockpit to ...SFP1ObjectsAircraftF-102A.
3-When prompted, overwrite the files.
Enjoy!
