FUJI AH-1S COBRA Ver 1.0 for SF2
 
July 2016.
 
This is a third party add on of the AH-1S Cobra of JGSDF using models and cockpits created by me.
The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
I have just modified it a bit.
 
It is designed for and works only in the SF2 series.
 
WeaponPACK for this model is also included.

This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
 
Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
 
ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
 
LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.

 
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)
 
ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
 

AH-1S(MC) was Step 3 upgrade program of Army Cobra. In this model Army Cobra featured the three -barell 20mm M197 automatic cannon mounted in XM97 universal turret. The AH-1S(MC) also featured an improved rocekt management system for 2.75 inch rockets, an improved sighting system, and a more powerful electrical generator to support all new systems. It was later upgraded with engine inlet deflectors to allow using WFAR rockets with Mk66 motor. Japanese Fuji Factory built 92 aircrafts under license for JGSDF. While USArmy and other users were using F designation for this model JGSDF remain using S symobl for Fuji Cobra.
 
For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector - 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.
 
NVG.
Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
 

Skins:
Generic skin for all 5 attack helicopter units plus 2 special anniversary paint/decal set.
 

All serial numbers are proper for Japanese Fuji S model but am not sure if these numbers are 100% correct for specific unit.
 

Weapons.
 
Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P/E model.
Including XM158 and M200/M260/M261 launchers and for smoe late models M260 and M261 with Mk66 motor rockets.
TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D
There is additional optional Suppressed Exhaust loaded via weaponstation.
Also here there is new M197 automatic cannon loaded via weaponstation.
 
One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
 
Pilots:
I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
 
 
 
Enjoy.
Report Bugs.
Edit your way.

This skin pack is intended for use with the F4U-4 included in the F4U pack by Wrench.
They are mostly late 40's to early 50's squadrons and they're not 100% accurate (more like 85% or so).
 
Squadrons included are:
VF-5B (VF-61)
VF-192
VF-193
VF-791
VF-871
VMF-323
 
I've also included 4 new napalm tanks of different sizes in zinc-chromate yellow (just for fun!).
 
Have fun!

VMF-112, F4U-1D Corsair, USS Bennington 1945 Skin Pak
 
== For WW2 PTO SF2, Any and All ==
 
*Note: can be used in any PTO centric install, and probably will work in 1stGens as well*
 
A new skin for Wolf257's Corsair; to be used with my F4U-1D mod available here at CA at the following URL:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/1532-f4u-1d-corsair/
 
This represents F4U-1D Corsairs as flown frum USS Bennington in the later months of the war.
Decal randomization is set to TRUE (which won't work if used in 1stGen installs, but what the hey, right?)
Also included is a 90%-ish SF2 compliant FM in/on/part of the enclosed data ini*, a new 'main ini' (F4U-1D.ini), and an SF2 Userlist.ini (as USMC is considered a 'Seperate Nation' for Export Purposes ™). It's advised other USN/USMC Corsairs have the necessary lines added, year adjusted and use this new userlist.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop).
 
Happy Hunting!

In 1963 the South African Air Force (SAAF) procured six B(I) Mk.12 Canberra interdictors and three T. Mk.4’s from Britain.
Initially the Canberra was seen as an interim measure until the arrival of Hawker-Siddeley Buccaneers in 1965.
The SAAF used the B(I) Mk.12 as bombers and interdictors over a 27 year period.
The SAAF T.4 had Glass nose too alongside the solid nose ones.

SF2 F-22A USAF Raptors Redux 2016
by Viper63a
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
The default install of this mod pack requires SF2NA merged in your install. If you don't have SF2NA in your install base, you have to install the files in the "Non_SF2NA_Patch" folder for the avionics to function properly. See installation section for more details.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
This is my iteration/update of the F-22A Raptors originally released by the "Raptor Team". The lion's share of the work was done by the "Raptor Team" - so I DO NOT take credit for ANY of their wonderful work. What I did was upgrade the original package with various other packages released over the years (All noted in the credits). Other than that, I've recreated and tweaked the skins to my liking, added some new squadrons, and created all new decals for the planes. Comes complete with new Hangar, Loading and Loadout files as well. The original package can be downloaded with the following and/or the links in the Credits sections...
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
What's included in this mod pack?
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
Included in this package are the 7th, 14th, 22nd, 27th, 36th, 43rd, 80th, 90th, 94th, 95th, 199th, 411th, 422nd, 433rd, 493rd, and 525th USAF F-22 Squadrons. All squadrons have the complete compliment of tail numbers. Some F-22s were re-deployed from Virginia and Hawaii to Europe (Germany/England) and Asia (Korea) as a deterrence (preparation) force for the current tension in the regions.
 
Additional Skins for this pack is available here...

-------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
! As always, I recommend that you back up your mod folder before you install any new mod...just in case.
 
* To install, simply copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite as required.
 
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
 
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2...
 
* If you have a merged SF2NA installed, then you are done...If not, you have one more step...
 
Open the "\Optional\Non_SF2NA_Patch" folder and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite as required.
 
* Lastly, please read the "F-22A SoundList Add.txt" to install the sound files.
 
Now you are done...
 
Enjoy!
 
-------------------------------------------------------------
 
NOTE: The NON-JHMCS Pilot is the default in this pack. If you want to use the JHMCS Pilot, please update the [Pilot] section of the "F-22A_DATA.ini" file. Remove the "//" from the "PilotModelName=F22A_JHMCS" line and add "//" to the "PilotModelName=F22A_Pilot" line. And Save...

Special Thanks to Ravenclaw_007 for the new pilots!

The "Optional" Folders contains some extra stuff like...
 
* Alternate 1024x and 1920x Hanger and Loading screens.
* Other tid-bits like the F-22A Template and other F-22 Mods I didn't get round to testing.
