Add-On Aircraft

The Ilyushin Il-10 (NATO reporting name: "Beast") was a Soviet ground attack aircraft developed at the end of World War II by the Ilyushin construction bureau.It was also license-built in Czechoslovakia by Avia as the Avia B-33.
After the war, until the early 1950s, the Il-10 was a basic Soviet ground attack aircraft. It was withdrawn from service in 1956.
The Il-10 and its licensed variant, the Avia B-33, became a basic ground attack plane of the Warsaw Pact countries. From 1949 to 1959, the Polish Air Force used 120 Il-10s (including 24 UIl-10), and 281 B-33s.
In Poland, the B-33 was modified to carry 400 l fuel tanks under its wings. From 1950 to 1960, Czechoslovakia used 86 Il-10s, including six UIl-10s, and about 600 B-33s. From 1949 to 1956, the Hungarian Air Force used 159 Il-10s and B-33s, named "Párduc" (Panther). From 1950 to 1960, the Romanian Air Force used 14 Il-10s and 156 B-33s. Bulgaria also used these aircrafts.
 
In the late 1940s, 93 Il-10 and UIl-10s were given to North Korea. They were then used in the 57th Assault Aviation Regiment during the early phase of the Korean War. They were initially used with success against the weak anti-aircraft defense of South Korean forces (following the US refusal to supply the south with "heavy weapons"), but then they suffered heavy losses in encounters against the USAAF fighters and were bombed on the ground themselves. After several weeks, about 20 remained. In the summer of 1950, North Korea received more aircraft from the USSR. The North Koreans claimed to sink a warship on 22 August 1950 with Il-10s, but it was never confirmed.
From 1950, Il-10s were used by the People's Republic of China, in two regiments of an assault aviation division. They were used in combat during a conflict with the Republic of China, (Taiwan), over border islands in January 1955. They remained in service until 1972 (replaced by Nanchang Q-5). From 1957, Yemen used 24 B-33s.

Grumman F-111B 'ADC' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
 
This is a very simple mod of the superb F-111B by FastCargo to represent a fictional USAF version inflicted on that fine service, although it's actually not that bad when used within it's limits! I'm releasing this 'as is' as it could do with further refinements but avionics are not really my thing.
 
 
BACKSTORY
 
On November 24th, 1962 the US Defense Departement issued a press release announcing the award of the TFX programme to General Dynamics ahead of Boeing. There was an immediate outcry at this decision as only a few weeks earlier the Air Force Council had stated their declared preference for the Boeing submission as had the Chief of the Navy although the US Navy had, in fact, rejected both explaining that neither were fully compatible with carrier operations and neither had adequate CAP loiter endurance. It was not until March 21st, 1963 when Robert McNamara (Secretary of Defense) was called as a witness to the 'McClennan hearings' where McNamara explained the evaluation groups preference for the General Dynamics submission based on the higher degree of commonality when compared to Boeing's submission adding that, in their view, Boeing were proposing two different airplanes. After the dust had settled General Dynamics and the US Air Force battled on with their version of the TFX which would eventually lead to the F-111A entering squadron service (and operational service in Vietnam) in 1968.
 
However, for the US Navy things were different. Initially, by appointing Grumman to develop the naval version of the TFX (as the F-111B) the US Navy had hoped that this experienced and trusted contractor would turn the heavy tactical bomber into something that would meet their carrier-based interception requirement and at least they also had Hughes onboard for the radar/missile system with the promising AWG-9 radar and AIM-54A missile. But by early 1964 the Navy were determined that the F-111B would not proceed except without major changes and asked that the manufacture of the F-111B development aircraft should be halted until the aircraft was redesigned but this was overruled by the Pentagon. Even the first flight of the F-111B on May 18th, 1965 failed to provide any comfort as the TF30 engine compressor stalls were evident from the start. By October 1965 the Navy Preliminary Evaluation considered the aircraft to be grossly underpowered, range was less than half of the requirement and the engines were judged to be a significant flight safety problem. Furthermore, the fixes required to bring the F-111B into something at least marginally capable of flying the mission brought commonality down from 80% down to 29% and during early 1966 the Navy became increasingly vocal about wanting to bail out but it was not until after a new and particularly scathing Navy Preliminary Evaluation held in March 1967 that they did so.
 
McNamara was incensed and instructed General Dynamics and Grumman to revert back to the original '80% commonality' F-111B and develop it for use as an interceptor by the USAF's Aerospace Defense Command Interceptor Squadrons as a replacement for the F-101 Voodoos and F-102 Delta Daggers and to supplement the F-106 Delta Darts. Almost as a way of denying failure, McNamara instructed the Defense Department not to allocate a new designation but to keep the F-111B designation for the Air Force interceptor. With an immediate order for 288 F-111B's a reluctant Air Force at least had some use for the short-nosed F-111 and put the aircraft to good use but the real winner was McDonnell Douglas who gained new orders from the Navy for the F-4J Phantom and also the swing-wing F-4S 'Super Phantom' ordered instead of the VFX (Tomcat).

Version 1 - 18/01/14

SF2 WW2 FAA Seafire Mk.IIb Pak by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co (ver 0.9)
1/10/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 Players For Various Theatres --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: having whichever expansion pak gave us the Spit Mk. IX is required, as
this mod references the stock 3W destroyed Spitfire*
 
This is tagged as Ver 0.9, as some minor fixes may be required. We wanted to
get it out into the hands of End Users ™, both for your flying pleasure, and
further examinations.
 
The package contains the Seafire Mk.IIb as issued to Fleet Air Arm squadrons in
1942. Essentially (in Real Life), an extenisvely modified Mk.V, with new naval
hardware, most importantly the A-frame arrestor hook. This version does NOT
have folding wings. The data ini contains the SF2:NA required statements for
carrier parking; unfortunately, the RN Fleet carriers we have use a smaller
wingspan statement. Aside from that, it is fully carrier capable, in the NA
environment; and was tested in such.
 
Skin(s) included with the package are:
 
Royal Navy:
 
No. 885 NAS, HMS FORMIDABLE (circa 2/42 in the Atlantic; aka "Home Fleet")
No. 807 NAS, HMS BATTLER (circa 1942, MTO, a CVE)
No. 834 NAS, HMS BATTLER (BEIF, circa 1944, yes the same CVE)
 
(In essence, a slight mish-mash of theatres! It is suggested that End Users
™ select the skin wanted/needed for a specific theatre, and delete the rest,
editing them out of the aircraft's main ini (ie: SeafireIIB_CAF.ini)
 
This pack makes use of the Brain32 trick of having the skin maps in the MAIN
aircraft folder, NOT in the individual squadron folders. As all FAA Seafires (for the most part)
were painted the same camo, this reduces the size of the package (slightly). Only the
markings (squadron codes, national insignia) change.
However..both 807 and 834 (folder called 'BEIF") have seperate 1 maps, as their
prop spinners are different colors.
 
All marking are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Other squadrons can
easily be done by creating new squadron code letters.
See "Notes" for more infomation on the individual markings.
An SF2 version of my "box art" style hangar screens is included. It's more a 'generic' Seafire screen, as
it depicts both I, IIb and IIIC models.
All aircraft use a "pool" of serial numbers. The serial numbers, while
'generic' in nature (representing no particular aircraft), ARE correct for the
variant depicted. The other markings are specific to each ship.
 
The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0. Guns
are also grouped, MGs in Group 1, the cannon in Group 2.
 
When in game, you'll see:
 
Seafire Mk.IIb (CAF)
 
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate =THIS= Seafire
from any others you may (or may not) have.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are
included. So, please read them.
 
Good Hunting!
