Dassault Étendard IVM/IVP
 
Etendard IV was like its predecessors a light attack aircraft. In 1956, this unit interests Navy as an embedded multi-role fighter. In December 1956, a semi-navalized prototype is controlled. In May 1957, 5 copies of fully navalized pre-production are controlled by the Navy, which gets its name from Etendard IVM. The first prototype took place May 21, 1958, and the first pre-series will follow on December 21 the same year. Both devices are powered by a SNECMA Atar 08B thrust of 4.4 tonnes. pre-production copies provided with tips of folding wings, the landing gear to be strengthened and the catapult and arrested a drag hook. The second copy of preproduction was pushed by a Rolls-Royce Avon 51 5 tons of thrust, he carried a camera in the nose and was named Etendard IVP (used for tactical reconnaissance). Between 1963 and 1965, 69 Etendard IVM and 21 PVI were delivered to the French air arm, they remained in service until 1991, when they were replaced by the Super-Etendard.

The Dassault-Breguet Super Étendard
 
The Dassault-Breguet Super Étendard (Étendard is French for "battle flag") is a French carrier-borne strike fighter aircraft designed by Dassault-Breguet for service with the French Navy. The aircraft is an advanced development of the Étendard IVM. The Super Étendard first flew in October 1974 and entered French service in June 1978. French Super Étendards have served in several conflicts such as the Kosovo war, the war in Afghanistan and the military intervention in Libya.
 
The Super Étendard was also operated by Iraq and Argentina, who both deployed the aircraft during wartime. The Super Étendard was used by Iraq to attack oil tankers and merchant shipping in the Persian Gulf during the Iraq-Iran War. Argentina's use of the Super Étendard and the Exocet missile during the 1982 Falklands War led to the aircraft gaining considerable popular recognition. In French service, the Super Étendard was replaced by the Dassault Rafale in 2016.
 
Super Étendard in the Falklands War
 
The naval aviation, suffering an arms embargo since 1978 by US President Jimmy Carter for human rights abuses, was in the middle of the process of replacing their A-4Q Skyhawks with French-built Dassault-Breguet Super Étendards. Although only five aircraft were delivered by the time of the conflict, the service became famous worldwide when they used their AM39 Exocet anti-shipping missiles, also purchased from France, to sink the Royal Navy's HMS Sheffield and the support ship Atlantic Conveyor. The older A-4Qs also had a role destroying HMS Ardent.

Sikorsky R-4B/HNS-1/Hoverfly Mk.1
 

This is a third party addon of Sikorsky R-4B/HNS-1 helicopter.
The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters modified by me. I am not using airbrakes or flaps but flying fast and slow is stil possible, even hovering with little practice.
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series. And will never work in SF1.

This is beta file.
Better to share than store on hard drive.
If someone wants to improve something let me know.
Templates for pit or skins are available on pm request.
 
Simple cockpit included.
Flying.
As with all my previous helos flying is quite easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
Normaly throtle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 55% wait little and then increase to 100% and helo will take off nicely. 341 version got little less power in engine.
 
 
 
Skins.
Each aircraft got one set of skins representing USArmy Air Corps, Royal navy And US Coast Guard.
 
All serial numbers are historicaly correct.. As far as I know.
 
Decals for USCG and Royal Navy by Coupi.
Pilot is from Korea Mod but I don't know who is creator of this model. All credit to him.
 

Have fun.
Hope you will enjoy it same as me when working on it.
Edit and report bugs.

Thanks for all kind support.

This is a What IF aircraft! The CF-205 Super Arrow the modern version of the Avro Arrow

C-135F Tanker variant for France similar to the KC-135A but did not use the K prefix, 12 built.
 
C-135FR Eleven French C-135F tanker aircraft modified with four CFM56 engines.
 
As we have a lot of amazing French planes up to great Mirage IV, I think that a tanker (...) could be useful.
So here you will find the whole Groupe de Ravitaillement en Vol C-135 fleet from the very beginning.

Douglas DC-8 series By Veltro2k
 
This mod features three versions of the Douglas DC-8 jetliner and historical skinsets from introduction in the early '60s through the mid '80s. A little something for eye candy around the airfields or to run intercepts on.
 
Versions
*DC-8 representing the original DC-8-10/20/30/40 versions with the quieting tubes on the exhaust
*DC-8-50 representing the final short fuselage version and JT3D engines without quieting tubes
*DC-8-60 representing two of the final new build versions with stretched fuselage.
*several historical skinsets for all models
*flight and nations ini edits to allow airliner nation and a spaced out in line formation
 
Installation
unzip and load into mods folder. allow merging
 
Known Issues
* The cockpit is the same pit as in all V2k's big jet planes. Not proper but the plane was meant for eye candy not regular missions
* The DC-8-50 model has a seam running along the spine. Until Veltro makes an appearance again this will be there. It is not noticeable at a distance
*This is a huge mod (4 1/2 GB) due to how i've made the skins, or specifically the tgas for the fuselage.It takes a bigger decal to paint the side of an airliner
