Hughes OH-6A CAYUSE Ver 1.0 for SF2
ver. 0.95
This is a third party add on of the OH-6A CAYUSE using models* and cockpits created by me.
*External model is build by my friend Tomek Wachowski and me, years ago for differnt purpose. Fortunately he found some early work files on his hard drive and brought to me. With some work i was able to bring it back to life. Technicaly it is 80% new model compared to original old one flying somewhere out there.
The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
I have just modified it a bit.
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
Few thing still needs to be done here. But I decided to upload it already.

******************IMPORTANT******************
 
This addon works only with my WeaponPACK (included in rar file). All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
 
Standard commands for activating Loach features:
 
OH-6A Loach:
 
ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
 
LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. Don't forget to retract before shooting.
 
A2Ground mode - M70E1 gunsight.
 
In OH-6A Cayuse model XM70E1 gunsight will apear in cockpit and external model only when gun is loaded on weaponstation.
 
 
OH-6A Cayuse only:
 
ANIMATION 8 - front left door (ext and cockpit view)
 
ANIMATION 9 - front right door (ext and cockpit view)
 
ANIMATION 10 - rear door.
 
 
This helicopteris build in two variants. First is ‚clean’ out of factory OH-6A Cayuse. Just small scout chopper. This is additional aircraft to main file here.
OH-6A Cayuse as seen on many photos from Vietnam War. Known also as Loach.
In this model you can switch to rear gunner positionand actualy really hit ground targets with M60. You just have to aim throug rear – front sight line. Like in real gun.
It is not prefect but this game as you know is not supporting choppers, double cockpits and many many more things. So this time again it is just to have at least good feeling.
 
Gunner is made as internal weapon not weapon station. This way is better. Gunner is set as SECONDARY GUN by default.
 
You can really fly low and slow. And in Pink Team just mark targets for Cobra wingman.
I am sugesting to fly low on 40-50% of throttle. around 45degree vector control, use pulse rudder to control left right, it is realy easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
Important her to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
 
Fuel. Remeber it is small chopper. And it can carry only around 54 US Gals of fuel. I belive it is enough for around 2 hours of flight here maybe little more.
 
Skins.
All serial numbers are historicaly correct.
Paint schemes and markings. I was trying to be acurate as much as possible in paint schemes and markins. Some skins for unit are generic because there were some little diferences within unit itself. Plus this schemes represents aircrafts used bu units during 2-3 year of service.
 
 
OH-6A Cayuse standard olive green paint with two serial numbers.
 
OH-6A Loach. Here i was trying to match my AH-1G Cobra.
All serial numbers are historicaly correct.
D Company 227th AHB
11th ACR
C Troop 1/9 Cavalry
D Troop 1/4 Cavalry
D Troop 3/4 Cavalry
C Troop 16th Cavalry
F Troop 4th Cavalry
 
 
Story about Weapon systems.
Internal. Gunner with M60 400 round of ammo.
No flash by default. Because with cocpit movement on gunner station it apear somewhere on elbow. better when it is not there. It can be easy changed by setting entry on M60 in aircraftdata.ini to TRUE
 
Additional Weapons.
- Weapon Station 1
 
XM27E1 – M134 Minigun
M27 - as above redesignated an unfaired Minigun M134 since 1969.
XM8 – M129 40mm automatic grenade launcher. Not seen in Vietnam.
 
 
Plus some extra weapons that were spotted on photos from Vietnam War.
 
- Weapon Stations 2 & 3
Up to two single tubes for Mk40 FFAR rockets attached on skids, with different warhead rockets. M151, M156, M229, M255A1, M259, M257, M247.
 
- Weapon Station 6
Experimental quad launcher unit developed by Rock Island Arsenal attached inside cargo compartment. Similiar to system mounted later in exported versions of H-500 Series. Very rare, seen on few pictures from Vietnam War but it was there.
Do not mix Weapon station 2 and 6 on loadouts menu. Meaning to be correct 2 or 1 single tube OR Quad launcher.
 
- Weapon Station 7
Most interesting is 7 tube XM158 launcher attached to XM27 susbsytem instead of 7.62mm minigun. Very rare field mod probably instaled only on one aircraft (no. 67-16321). I just used two versions with M151 and M156 warheads.
 
- Weapon Stations 4 & 5
Smoke grenades. DO NOT GIVE THEM TO WINGMAN.
Just five colours of smoke grenades, Yellow, White, Green, Red, Violet. I am not sure if this will support available color smoke effects. So probably wil need to create new smoke effects or mod smoke grenades.
 
- Weapon Station 8
Exhaust modification in late Loaches. Starting 1972 when SA-7 was threatening US crews this mod was often instaled on scout choppers. Same purpose as on late G Cobra models. I will apear on aircraft by default starting 1973 due to loadout.ini file.
 
- Weapon Stations 9, 10, 11, 12.
 
Not to be used on OH-6A !
Purpose of this is to play Pink Team on single mission with armed AH-1G Cobra.
In single mission on loadout menu you can change wingman aircraft to any available AH-1G Cobra and arm it with designated weapons for Cobra. If you don't like this option you can easly disable this by puting \ mark in data.ini file in front of weapon station entry.
 
 
Have fun. Enjoy.
Report bugs. Mod it your way.
Hope I did not miss anything here
Regards.
More to come in OH-6 category.

SF2 KAW Fleet Air Arm "What If" Aircraft Pack 3/30/2015
 
*For SF2 -ONLY-!! Full-5 Merged Reccomended*
 
This package contains 2 "What If..." aircraft as used (???) by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm during the Korean War.
They are:
 
Hawker Seahawk F.1A
898 NAS, HMS Ocean
 
Vought Corsair Mk.V (F4U-4B)
1841 NAS, HMS Theseus
1830 NAS, HMS Glory (1953)
 
The Seahawk has gotten a major revamp from the very old 1stGen version released several thousand years ago. It should be noted at this time, the Seahawk has "some issues" on recovering back on the boat. See Notes for more info. Hopefully, someone can fix this.
It also gets a 'new' cockpit, courtesy of Stary.
The Corsair has 2 skins, both with Korean era "invasion stripes", but 1841 NAS is in USN DGNB. Essentialy, a RN marked USN bird, carrying UK ordanance (ok, the 60# rockets). 1830 NAS has been repainted to "standard" FAA camo (grey uppers, "sky" unders). The SF2 date switch is NOT used for either of these skins. Both use the same pools of decals.
On all skins, all markings are decals. Recal randomization is set to "TRUE"
 
When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop down you'll see:
 
Corsair Mk.V
SeaHawk F.1A
 
Weapons, pilots, and such are provided for the Seahawk. With the exception of a 'new' rocket rack for the Corsair, it reuses most everything already in the KAW Weapons Pack.
As all markings are decals; this is make it easy for other texture artists to change the ship ID letter, and create other fictional squadrons.
For the Corsair only, the Standarn Animation Keystrokes are used for wingfold and canopy (Shift/9 & Shift/0). The Seahawks have no working canopy or wingfolds (it's an old model, what can I say?).
The Seahawk also gets new DDS damage textures, and many smaller 'tweeks' (again, see Notes below).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, as usual, give the "Notes and Comments" section a read, too. In the Seahawk's aircraft folder, is my original (2008) what-if readme.
 
Happy Landings & Have Fun!!

SF2 Soviet Transport and AWAC Aircraft by Veltro2K
 
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
 
This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's Soviet/WarPac Transport and AWAC aircraft.
It is REQUIRED that you have SF2NA in your merged install, as several of these reference
the stock 3W Tu-95 Bear destroyed model. Some reference the stock 3W An-12 destroyed
model. Hence, the need for a Full 5 Merged install. It is usable without, but you won't
have the dead wreckage on the ground. Also, the AWAC versions use the "AEW" avionics
coding from SF2NA.
 
Included in the pak are remods of:
 
An-22 Cock
A-50 Mainstay AWAC
IL-76 Candid
Tu-114 Cleat (Aeroflot airliner)
Tu-126 Moss AWAC
 
Aircraft that were exported have userlist inis included (ie: the Il-76). Any that I
missed, End Users ™ are encouraged to 'fill in the blanks', and post those changes.
All avionics, in particular for the AWACs, have been brought up SF2NA standards at the
July 2012 patch level. New sounds for the prop engines are included. Although cockpits ARE
included for all aircraft, really people...let the AI handle them. They exist for 2
reasons: eye candy and targets.
Skins remain in their bmp format, and decal radomization is set to TRUE. All decals
reference stock markings, including the Bort numbers. New damage textures are supplied, in
DDS format.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read
them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read, in particular on operational usage.
The Legal Statement has been changed with regards to these aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, as there HAVE been changes and additions
in several of the inis, you may wish to examine them, mostly in respect to SF2NA, you may wish
to replace the originals with these.
 
**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems
that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be
created**.
 
Happy Landings!

Fictional mod of Foxmonters Super Etendard to make it look like a fictional attacker for the west german navy. It shall depict a bird that could have entered service in the german air forces if the military had not had the "double-engine doctrine" caused by the high losses inflicted by the Starfighter (or "Widowmaker"; nickname from the german pilots).
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. Drop the folders into your Objects folder. If asked to overwrite, click yes.

SF2 WW2 MTO Fiat G-55 by Veltro2K 3/25/2015
 
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
 
This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's WW2 Italian Fighter.
 
This is a fairly "quick and dirty" upgrade for Veltro's Fiat G-55 Centauro. It's been given a "new" FM, but as always, will need some fine tuning.
 
I've split the 2 skins, into "before and after" the Italian surrender of 1943. You have:
 
51 Stormo, RA (circa mid-1943)
 
Squadriglia Montefusco, ANR (post 10/1943 -- although the paint scheme is more in Luftwaffe style)
 
I did NOT use the SF2 "date switch" for these.
 
*Please note that the Aeronautica Nazionale Repubblicana, is =NOT= on the existing ww2 Nations.ini. Nor is the Allied-aligned Aviazione Cobelligerante Italiana. If you want, you'll have to create the new nations yourselves. See "Notes" below.*
 
Skins remain in their bmp format, and decal radomization is set to TRUE. New damage textures are supplied, in DDS format. My standard "box art" style hangar and loading screens are also included. And, thanks to Mue's Lod viewer, I've exported a lined map psd for those wishing to attempt to create other skins. This should give you a base to draw new panel and rivet lines.
A userlist ini was created, but is incomplete (most post-war versions were Merlin powered).
Included are a pilot figure, AvHistory engine sound, and a new drop tank. All other weapons you should have in the WW2 weapons pack (it uses LW bombs, until we get freeware Italian ones)
The canopy open/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™ (shift/0).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Give the "Notes" section a glance, as well.
 
** The aircraft herein is released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, or until such time as if/when new models are created and released.***
 
Happy Landings!

The Northrop F-5A/B Freedom Fighter and the F-5E/F Tiger II are part of a family of supersonic Light fighter, initially designed in the late 1950s by Northrop Corporation. Being smaller and simpler than contemporaries such as the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II, the F-5 cost less to both procure and operate, making it a popular export aircraft. The F-5 started life as a privately funded light fighter program by Northrop in the 1950s. The design team wrapped a small, highly aerodynamic fighter around two compact and high-thrust General Electric J85 engines, focusing on performance and low cost of maintenance. Though primarily designed for the day air superiority role, the aircraft is also a capable ground-attack platform. The F-5A entered service in the early 1960s. During the Cold War, over 800 were produced through 1972 for U.S. allies. Though the USAF had no acknowledged need for a light fighter, it did procure roughly 1,200 Northrop T-38 Talon trainer aircraft, which were directly based on the F-5A.
 
After winning the International Fighter Aircraft competition in 1970, a program aimed at providing effective low-cost fighters to American allies, Northrop introduced the second-generation F-5E Tiger II in 1972. This upgrade included more powerful engines, higher fuel capacity, greater wing area and improved leading edge extensions for a better turn rate, optional air-to-air refueling, and improved avionics including air-to-air radar. Primarily used by American allies, it was also used in US training exercises. A total of 1,400 Tiger IIs were built before production ended in 1987. More than 3,800 F-5 and T-38 aircraft were produced in Hawthorne, California.
 
The F-5 was also developed into a dedicated reconnaissance version, the RF-5 Tigereye. The F-5 also served as a starting point for a series of design studies which resulted in the Northrop YF-17 and the F/A-18 navalized fighter aircraft. The Northrop F-20 Tigershark was an advanced variant to succeed the F-5E which was ultimately canceled when export customers did not emerge. The F-5N/F variants are in service with the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps as an adversary trainer. Approximately 500 aircraft are still in service as of 2014.
 
In October 1974, the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) ordered 36 F-5E and 6 F-5B aircraft from Northrop for $72 million. The first three aircraft arrived on 12 March 1975. In 1988, FAB acquired 22 F-5E and four F-5EF second-hand USAF "agressor" fighters. A total of 15 of these aircraft were part of the initial batch of 30 aircraft produced by Northrop. In 1990, FAB retired all remaining five F-5Bs; later, they were sent to Brazilian museums around the country.
 
In 2001, Elbit Systems and Embraer started work on a $230 million Brazilian F-5 modernization program, performed over an eight-year period, upgrading 46 F-5E/F aircraft, re-designated as F-5EM and F-5FM. The modernization centered on several areas: new electronic warfare systems, the Grifo F radar, an air-to-air refueling system, INS/GPS-based navigation, support for new weapons, targeting and self-defense systems, HOTAS, LCD displays, helmet-mounted displays (HMDs), Radar Warning Receiver, encrypted communications, cockpit compatibility for night vision goggles, On-Board Oxygen Generation System (OBOGS) and various new onboard computer upgrades. One important capability is the secure communication with R-99 airborne early warning platforms and ground stations.
 
Externally, the new aircraft features a larger nose cone that accommodates the larger radar equipment. The first F-5EM was handed over on 21 September 2005. On 7 July 2003, four Rafael Litening III targeting pods were ordered at a cost of USD 13 million, to be used on F-5M together with three Rafael Sky Shield jamming pods ordered in 5 July 2006 at a cost of USD 42 million.
 
In 2009, FAB bought eight single-seat and three twin-seat F-5F used aircraft from Jordan in a US$21 million deal. These aircraft were built between 1975 and 1980. On 14 April 2011, a contract of $153 million was signed with Embraer and Elbit to modernize the additional F-5s bought from Jordan, and to supply one more flight simulator as a continuation of the contract signed in 2000. These F-5s will receive the same configuration as those from the initial 46 F-5s currently completing the upgrade process. The first delivery of this second batch of upgraded jet fighters is scheduled for 2013 with expected use to 2030.
