A-4G Skyhawk
(r1 - 1976 - VF-805)
 
 
This mod should ultimately cover the whole VF-805 career of the Australian A-4G, however since it started for a very specific project of mine, it will be released as-is and updated whenever (if ever) the rest is done.
For that reason, if you have an interest on the topic and are willing to correct or complete the set, do feel free to do so, it's a safer bet than waiting for the next release.
 
It has been built with/for SF2, it requires Thirdwire's A-4E and A-4F to work, there should be no other prerequisite.
 
r1 includes only the mid-70's skin, as my project focuses on the year 1976.
The skin and decals are as correct as I'm willing/able to do based on Thirdwire's skin.
All plane and serial numbers are correctly paired and historically correct (all planes crashed before 1976 are not present).
The only inaccuracy is the fact that some of the planes present were affected to VC-724, however, in case of conflict and to cope with attrition they would have been transferred to VF-805, hence their presence in this mod.

Grey areas :
 
- On most pictures the A-4G in '76 had the area surrounding the gun muzzle painted black, on some, a square area on the fuselage was painted black and on other, nothing was painted black at all, no text gives any reason for that or precise reference, therefore it's been left as stock.
- Likewise, most sources claim some A-4G were not fitted with guns, without providing the serial number of those planes or whether this was a temporary or permanent change; Moreover, I couldn't find photographic evidence of a gunless A-4G.
- The current INI is a hybrid of A-4E and A-4F, uses an A-4F cockpit with A-4E avionics, I lack sources and will to do any better at the moment, it will have to do.
 
 
Optionnally, you can add VF-805 "Checkerboards" to your SquadronList.ini, however it is only a nicety and the skin doesn't rely on it.
 
[squadronxxx]
Name=RAN_805
DisplayName=805 Sq. "Checkerboards"
Nation=AustralianNavy
 
 
TO DO :
 
- Replace the antennas by accurate ones.
- Have missile rails for outer pylons use with Sidewinders.
- Add the late 60's VF-805 skin (without checkerboard).
- Add the early 70's VF-805 skin (with checkerboard on the rudder).
- Add the late 70's VF-805 skin (grey camo with knight).

I was not happy with the numbering on the four new skin.
 
Still not perfect but much better than the one on the v1.0

MQ-10A Kodiak – Release Version 4.0
 
Welcome to the Kodiak release version 4.0. This plane was conceived out of my need to find something to effectively kick-start my creative juices and prime me mentally to tackle a few of my languishing projects.
 
The MQ-10A is obviously a fictitious UAV on steroids. I best described it once as the unholy union of an A-10 and a Predator drone. It’s capable of carrying pretty much everything and oh, did I mention it VTOLS? Yeah, I wet myself a little too...
 
Please fly it, enjoy it for what it is and go blow some crap up…
 
NOTES:
 
1. Engine nacelles are rotated via what ever you have mapped for VTOL. Max VTOL weight is around 47,000
2. Do not be bashful in criticism or critique.
3. Installation is easy… decompress and cut/paste it in your aircraft folder. It has been tested on all version 2 games but should work in version 1 as well.
 
CHANGE LOG / FIXES:
 
1. The weird porpoises issue has been fixed. The Kodiak is again a rock-sold weapon platform.
2. Right, wrong, or indifferent, I’ve settled on a very basic if not extremely functional projected cockpit format.
 
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS:
 
1. I pilfered the HUD stuff from Fastcargo’s F-35 bird.
2. I pilfered FM tidbits from a lot of different birds. ** Once I finalize on what will be enclosed in the final product I will include full and complete disclosure.
3. It includes a default Olive Drab scheme and all layered paintshop pro templates to assist in the creation of more.

SF2 Updates and Loading Screens by NeverEnough
 
This is a complete SF2 installation package for the beautiful Tornado F3 by Bobrock and the many talented modders listed above. The Effect Emitters have been updated to January 2011 patch level. The Wingtip Vortices have been changed so they move properly with the swingwing position. The new TorAfterBurnerEmitter utilizes the January 2011 Particle System combined with one of dfang's afterburner tga's to give the model an afterburner plume similar to photos I've found of the Tornado F3 in warp drive. Also included are two additional loading screens of the 43 Squadron Special Colors Tornado F3.
 
To use the additional 43 Squadron Loading Screens, change the line in the Tornado_F3.INI as shown below:
 
[AircraftData]
AircraftFullName=Tornado F3
AircraftShortName=Tornado
AircraftDataFile=Tornado_F3_data.ini
CockpitDataFile=Tornado_F3_cockpit.ini
HangarScreen=F3_HANGARSCREEN.bmp
LoadingScreen=F3_Loading.bmp<<<<Change this to TorF3_Loading.bmp or TornF3_Loading.bmp
 
 
For those of you who have not installed Bobrock's Tornado F3 in the Second Generation Thirdwire sims because there was no SF2 conversion, you owe it to yourselves to take this opportunity to correct that omission. Bobrock's Tornado F3 is really absolutely stunning!

Spitfire MkIXc, No.303 (Kosciuszko Polish) Sqn RAF, 1943-44
 
For use ONLY with SF2 including the Israel Expansion Pack. This will NOT work if you do not have the stock TW Spitfires installed and working.
