SF2 F-4 Loadout by malibu43
 
 
This package contains updated loadout.ini files for all the stock F-4's in the SF2 series. They are based off of real world loadouts from various conflicts (especially Vietnam), but are not 100% accurate. This is due to a few things:
 
 
1.Did not want to do anything that required editing aircraft's data.ini files. With all the patches and updating going on, it could turn into a nightmare to keep updated.
 
2.It uses mostly stock weapons (only one additional weapon is included). This pack is meant to be enjoyable in a stock install. I didn't want to require users to download all kinds of weapons or weapons packs. It's extra work and it also can make the mod harder to keep updated (see #1).
 
3.The loadouts may vary from real world examples to make them more useful in the fictional TW world. For example, CAS loadouts in Vietnam utilized munitions that were effective against groups of troops in the jungle (napalm, rockets, etc...). F-4's in SF2E or SF2 (or even stock SF2V for that matter) will be facing massive columns of enemy tanks advancing across open fields. Therefore, these loadouts are more likely to use CBU's, Rockeyes, and AGM-65's. Another good example is most of the stock USAF F-4's carrying ARM's for SEAD in these loadouts. That didn't happen in real life, but we don't have F-4G's so I let it go so that some form of effective SEAD still happens.
 
So, these loadouts will be usefull in an SF2 install that doesn't already have more accurate F-4 loadouts added. For example, I wouldn't use these in place of the F-4 loadouts in the SF2V A/G Exp Pack. Those loadouts have already been set up to be accurate for the specific conflict that pack is representing.
 
Some examples of the changes:
- Wing tanks and gun pods not used on USN F-4's
- USAF, IAF, UK, and German F-4's don't carry AIM-9's when A/G munitions are carried on that pylon
- USMC nation specific loadouts for F-4B's and J's. (with gun pods and zuni's)
- Triple LAU-3 loadouts for USMC F-4's. These are selectable via the mission editor.
- Gun pods not part of the default loadouts for F-4M before 1975.
- Additional strike loadouts for USAF and IAF F-4's that utilize asymetric loadouts with LGB's and Laser Pods. These are selectable via the mission editor.
- Additional loadouts for UK F-4's that include BL755's, 540lbGP bombs, and "triple Matra" rocket pod loadouts. These are selectable via the mission editor.
- etc...
 
 
Installation.
 
1. Copy the contents of the Aircraft folder into the Aircraft folder in your SF2 Mod directory (if you don't know what that is, check the Knowledg Base section at combatace.com).
 
Note: If you don't have a merged install with all 6 titles, check you aircraft folder to see what F-4's are installed and only copy the corresponding folders from this .rar file. If you copy all of them, you won't have any issues, but it may be confusing to look in your aircraft folder and see aircraft that aren't actually installed.
 
2. Copy the contents of the Weapons folder into the Weapons folder in your SF2 Mod directory.
 
3. If you have the TW DLC F-4N or the 3rd party F-4S available at combatace, the "Optional" folder has loadouts for them as well.
 
 
Known issues:
 
- The "triple rocket pod" load outs for USMC and RAF F-4's load extra rocket pods on the sidewinder stations instead of a TER. This is a work around since loading rocket pods on a TER is not possible at this point without extension data.ini editing, and I didn't want to do that in the interest of keeping this mod simple.

SAAB 21



The SAAB 21 was a Swedish fighter/attack aircraft from SAAB that first took to the air in 1943. It was described as a very efficient
weapons platform. It was designed as a twin boom pusher configuration, where the propeller is mounted in the rear of the fuselage,
pushing the aircraft forward.
 
Sweden wished to ensure its continued neutrality through a policy of armed strength during World War II but were effectively
denied access to foreign weapons. The original design studies began in 1939, based around the use of a "buried" Bristol
Taurus engine. The project remained dormant until 1941. In response to the need for air defence, and faced with the prospect
of imported designs being unavailable due to the war, Sweden undertook an indigenous rearmament programme including an
advanced fighter. The low-wing monoplane Saab 21 fighter was ultimately designed around a license-produced version of the
Daimler-Benz DB 605B engine, featured innovations such as tricycle landing gear, heavy forward-firing armament, ejector seat,
and a twin-boom pusher layout that later allowed the type to be modified with a turbojet engine.
 
The advantages of a pusher design, are that the view forward is unobstructed and armament can be concentrated in the nose,
while a major drawback is difficulty in escaping from the aircraft in an emergency, as the pilot could get drawn into the propeller
blades. SAAB deliberated between systems that would eject the pilot, or jettison the propeller or the engine, (via a system of
explosive bolts). and eventually installed an early ejector seat developed by Bofors for the purpose and tested in 1943.
 
In 1947, the aircraft was extensively redesigned with over 50% airframe, tailplane and wing changes and fitted with a de Havilland
Goblin turbojet, acquiring the new designation Saab J 21R.

hope you like this mod,enjoy your flight.

I started these 2048x2048 templates for the stock F-8E a long time ago but I no longer have the time to improve/finish them, so I thought I'd upload them anyway, maybe some of you can use them.
 
If you do use them please remember to give credit when you upload something made from them.

F-5E For Strike Fighters 2



"Early versions pack"


 
Version History:
v.1.0: First public release. Early versions without later refinements like RWR.
 
DESCRIPTION:
 
This addon can thank its release to the work of two talented individuals, FastCargo and BPao. FastCargo created the F-5F two seaters and BPao was the man behind the original Mirage Factory F-5E model. I was fortunate enough to get permission to work on these source models, with the goals of marrying the F-5E front section to the F-5F engine and wings which were quite a lot more detailed. It was supposed to be a quick project.
 
One year later:
I have completely reworked the F-5E nose, added a lot of stuff on the original fuselage and detailed both original templates to have higher detail textures. Meanwhile Sophocles graciously allowed me to use his superb F-5A cockpit as a basis to build my F-5E cockpit, in which I have also used parts based on FastCargos unfinished T-38 cockpit.
 
Included is two versions of the earlier production F-5E: a basic version dubbed '72 and an export specific version with a larger vertical stabilizator and spine antenna. This version is dubbed '74L (L for large vertical stablizator).
 
Happy flying!

INSTALATTION:
Extract into mod folder of choice.
 
This by and large replaces the old F-5E by TMF, so you can go ahead and delete the F-5E aircraft folder if you have it installed.
 
NOTE:
The _74L version references the _72 versions cockpit folder, so if you aim to use the 74L standalone in some installation, copy the cockpit folder and F-5E_72_cockpit.ini file from the _72 folder to the _74L folder. Overwrite.
 
 
Stay tuned for more Tigers!
