Not really a HH-60H Rescue Hawk, but of course a SH-60F Seahawk. It's the closest we have in SF so it will have to do.
 
She is relatively easy to fly on "normal" mode, which SF helicopters are tuned for. You can hover, fly backwards and sideways, ascend verticaly etc. It takes some practice and skill but is definately doable.
 
Installation:
 
Place the HH-60H folder into your Aircraft folder.
 
Place the AAQ16, RescueHawkMiniGun, RescueHawkTank and USNHeloGunnerR into your Weapons folder.
 
Place the USNHeloPilot1 & 2 folders into your Pilots folder. NOTE: For those with SF1 I have included the AAQ16 and USNHeloGunnerR as fake pilot objects. You will have to remove the ; from the data.ini file for them to work. They will look different from the SF2 version, but better than nothing.
 
You will not get the RescueHawkMiniGun to work in SF1 unless you edit the weaponsdata.ini file.
 
Place the RescueHawk wav file into your Sounds folder.
 
Place the two TADS files and the Loading wav file in your Flight folder.
 
Place the contents of the Decal folder into your Decal folder.
 
You will need to copy over the SH-60F LOD's from the SH-60F Seahawk mod. If you do not already have it, get it from the A-Team Skunkworks site.

Thanks to all.

Note: Version 2 is just the Jayhawk. The other "easter egg" helos are in the 1.0 file only.
 
Not really a HH-60T Jayhawk, but of course a SH-60B Seahawk. It's the closest we have in SF so it will have to do.
 
HH-60T is the upgrade model of the HH-60J, it has a glass cockpit and weapons capability. I have used the MH-60 cockpit to simulate this.
 
She is relatively easy to fly on "normal" mode, which SF helicopters are tuned for. You can hover, fly backwards and sideways, ascend verticaly etc. It takes some practice and skill but is definately doable.
 
Installation:
 
Place the HH-60T folder into your Aircraft folder.
 
Place the Tank_Jayhawk & CGHeloGunnerR folders into your Weapons folder.
 
Place the CGHeloPilot1 & 2 folders into your Pilots folder.
 
Place the JayR folder into your Pilots folder.
 
Place the JayW folder into your Pilots folder.

This is not actually a MH-60S KnightHawk, but a HH-60G Pave Hawk. It's the closest we have in SF2 so it will have to do. The MH-60S is based on the UH-60L Blackhawk, unlike the other USN helo's which are Seahawk based.
 
The KnightHawk peforms vertical replenishment, troop transport, and search and rescue, amongst other things. Although the KnightHawk has the usual minigun for your destructive pleasure, it is basically set up for vertrep. Non combat but very challenging.
 
Vertrep only works via the intricacies of sorcery. Actually, vertrep only works on land, as although the cargo palettes are "weapons" and can be "fired" anywhere, the will only show up on land as they become a "crater" when the hit the dirt. Craters, of course, do not show up on ships or the ocean.
 
You can still have lots of fun flying missions from ship to shore, and if you do not wish to have the cargo sling, for example, just de-select it in the Loadout screen.
 
As with all the Hawks, she is relatively easy to fly on "normal" mode, which SF helicopters are tuned for. You can hover, fly backwards and sideways, ascend verticaly etc. It takes some practice and skill but is definately doable.
 
She has the more powerful engines from the UH-60L so can hover with a full cargo load aboard.
 
INSTALLATION:
 
Place the MH-60S folder into your Aircraft folder. NOTE: You may have my fictional MH-60S "StealthHawk" in your Aircraft folder, rename or move it as this is the "real" MH-60S.
 
Place the 160MiniGun, Cargo, KHF, Sling1, Sling2 and USNHeloGunnerR folders into your Weapons folder.
 
Place the USNHeloPilot1 & 2 folders into your Pilots folder.
 
Place the MH60LDAP wav file into your Sounds folder.
 
Place the two TADS files and the Loading wav file in your Flight folder.
 
And finally, place the contents of the Object folder (cargo_03d, Dragchute, Frachtnetz, Frachtpalette, SlingLoad_03d, Storage and Wreckobject.ini) into your main Objects folder. These are the "craters" that will show the cargo palettes on the ground once released. NOTE: The new "craters" are WreckType006 and 007, if you already have WreckTypes with these numbers, just paste mine in and rename them as required.
 
 
You will need to copy over the MH-60G LOD's from the MH-60G Pave Hawk mod. If you do not already have it, get it from the A-Team Skunkworks site.

Notes:
 
Here is the Boeing Armed Cargo Helicopter 47-A, or more commonly "Guns A Go-Go".
 
The ACH-47A was originally known as the Armed/Armored CH-47A (or A/ACH-47A). It was officially designated ACH-47A by US Army Attack Cargo Helicopter and unofficially Guns A Go-Go. Four CH-47A helicopters were converted to gunships by Boeing Vertol in late 1965. Three were assigned to the 53rd Aviation Detachment in South Vietnam for testing, with the remaining one retained in the US for weapons testing. By 1966, the 53rd was redesignated the 1st Aviation Detachment (Provisional) and attached to the 228th Assault Support Helicopter Battalion of the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). By 1968, only one gunship remained, and logistical concerns prevented more conversions. It was returned to the United States, and the program stopped.
 
The ACH-47A carried five M60D 7.62x51 mm machine guns or M2HB .50 caliber machine guns, provided by the XM32 and XM33 armament subsystems, two M24A1 20 mm cannons, two XM159B/XM159C 19-Tube 2.75 in rocket launchers or sometimes two M18/M18A1 7.62×51 mm gun pods, and a single M75 40 mm grenade launcher in the XM5/M5 armament subsystem (more commonly seen on the UH-1 series of helicopters). The surviving aircraft, Easy Money, has been restored and is on display at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama
 
The player has at his command the two 20mm cannon, two 19-tube rocket pods, and a 40mm grenade launcher. There's lots of ammo for the cannon and grenade launcher. She packs a serious punch for 1966!
 
Like the Hawks, she is relatively easy to fly on "normal" mode, which SF helicopters are tuned for. You can hover, fly backwards and sideways, ascend verticaly etc. It takes some practice and skill but is definately doable. Pinnacle landings are hard but can be done. You get what you put in, so if you practice you will be rewarded.
 
The bird has a full set of lights, including landing lights and a searchlight which are activated/deactivated by the "G" landing gear key.
 
Included are two real Chinook wav files, you can pick which one you like. Listen to them IN GAME, as the game plays them correctly whereas the likes of Windows Media Player does not.
 
Another nice effect is that if your bird is destroyed a nice Chinook wreck will be your funeral pyre!
 
INSTALLATION:
 
Place the ACH-47A folder into your Aircraft folder.
Place the CH-47EA-Dam.bmp and ACH-47A-Destroyed.LOD into your Aircraft folder.
 
Place the 20mmGo, HeloGunnerL, HeloGunnerR, LAU-3A_Mk40_M151 and XM-8 folders into your Weapons folder.
 
Place the FakePilot, GoAmmoCrate, GoBench, GoGrenade, GoP, GoPylon, Helopilot 1 and Helopilot2 folders into your Pilots folder.
 
Place the Chinook and Chinook4 wav files into your Sounds folder.
 
Place the Loading wav file in your Flight folder.
 
 
 
You will need to copy over the CH-147-R0g.LOD from the A-Team Chinook mod. If you do not already have it, get it from the A-Team Skunkworks site.

SF2 T-34A Mentor (USAF) Upgrade Pack by RussoUK/Wrench       1/12/2023
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged plus Expansion 1 Reccomended)
Mofications to RussoUK's fun little T-34A Mentor (USAF) make some major and minor adjustments in skins, decals, data ini and other misc stuff. This is the full aircraft, with all the bits as issued by Russ in the original release. Just in case you don't have said original release, you won't have to go scrambling around trying to find the "weapons" (ok, drop tank) pilots and sounds. Also, because I was/am too lazy to pick out and remove stuff. Easier this way :)
Both the NMF and NMF/Orange skins have been redone with a lighter shade of pale metal, all new historically correct decals. It should be stated that the serial and buzz numbers, while historically correct, are generic in nature representing no particular base unit or squadron. The SF2 Date SWtich (tm) is active, and will cause the skins to change on partucular dates.
The names in quotations "xxxx" are how they will appear on the game's Drop Down Menu on the Loadout Screen. The skins are:
NMF (Early - starts Day 1) -- "USAF NMF (Early)"
NMF/Red-Orange (Late - starts 1959) -- "NMF/Red-Orange (Late)"
USAF 3-tone SEA came (1965). This is a non-real skin; I suspect the original FSX/? version is based on a Warbird, privately owned Mentor. However, the markings are correct for the time frame. They represent 80th Flight Training Wing at Sheppard AFB.  --- "80th FTW (F)"
Most markings are decals; exceptions would be wing insignia/nation names. Other markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. There are 18 serial/Buzz numbers for each aircraft. The 2 NMFs use a 'pool' of the same numbers. The Camo uses the correct style for the Vietnam Era. The "F" in the title obviously means "fake".
The aircraft keeps all it's original designations, so will appear the same in-game as the original download.
When in game, on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown menu, you'll see:
Beech T-34A USAF (R)
Hopefully, this will diferentiate it from any other T-34A Mentors that may (or may not) be available. The "R" stands for RussoUK, the model maker.
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions.
Happy Landings!
Wrench
