F-5E For Strike Fighters 2



"Early versions pack"


 
Version History:
v.1.0: First public release. Early versions without later refinements like RWR.
 
DESCRIPTION:
 
This addon can thank its release to the work of two talented individuals, FastCargo and BPao. FastCargo created the F-5F two seaters and BPao was the man behind the original Mirage Factory F-5E model. I was fortunate enough to get permission to work on these source models, with the goals of marrying the F-5E front section to the F-5F engine and wings which were quite a lot more detailed. It was supposed to be a quick project.
 
One year later:
I have completely reworked the F-5E nose, added a lot of stuff on the original fuselage and detailed both original templates to have higher detail textures. Meanwhile Sophocles graciously allowed me to use his superb F-5A cockpit as a basis to build my F-5E cockpit, in which I have also used parts based on FastCargos unfinished T-38 cockpit.
 
Included is two versions of the earlier production F-5E: a basic version dubbed '72 and an export specific version with a larger vertical stabilizator and spine antenna. This version is dubbed '74L (L for large vertical stablizator).
 
Happy flying!

INSTALATTION:
Extract into mod folder of choice.
 
This by and large replaces the old F-5E by TMF, so you can go ahead and delete the F-5E aircraft folder if you have it installed.
 
NOTE:
The _74L version references the _72 versions cockpit folder, so if you aim to use the 74L standalone in some installation, copy the cockpit folder and F-5E_72_cockpit.ini file from the _72 folder to the _74L folder. Overwrite.
 
 
Stay tuned for more Tigers!

Hawker Siddeley HS 748
 
The Hawker Siddeley HS 748 is a medium-sized turboprop airliner originally designed by the British firm Avro in the late 1950s as a replacement for the aging DC-3s then in widespread service as feederliners. Avro concentrated on performance, notably for STOL operations, and found a dedicated market. 380 aircraft were built by Hawker Siddeley. A larger development, the BAe ATP, attempted to compete with the de Havilland Canada Dash 8 but saw a limited production run.The 748 Series 1 and Series 2 were also licence-produced in India by Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) as the HAL-748. HAL built 89 aircraft in India, 72 for the Indian Air Force and 17 for the Indian Airlines Corporation.
 
This model was going to be released as eye candy with the Indo-Pak MOD and has been sitting on my hard drive for at least a year and a half, so it will be released as is since source file was lost.

il-38N "May"
The Il-38N is an adaptation of the four-engined turboprop Ilyushin Il-18 for use as a maritime patrol aircraft for the Soviet Navy. It meets a requirement to counter American ballistic missile submarines. The Communist Party Central Committee and the Council of Ministers issued a joint directive on 18 June 1960, calling for a prototype to be ready for trials by the second quarter of 1962. The fuselage, wing, tail unit and engine nacelles were the same as the Il-18 and it had the same powerplant and flightdeck. An aerodynamic prototype of the Il-38 first flew on 28 September 1961,with the first production aircraft following in September 1967. Production continued until 1972, when the longer range and more versatile Tupolev Tu-142 derivative of the Tupolev Tu-95 strategic bomber had entered service.This is the Improved variant sometimes referred to as Il-38SD for Sea Dragon the new search and tracking system.

This is primarily a skin pack although it fixes a few quirks in the data.ini that was pointed out in testing as well.
Included are 3 historical skins: Natural Metal, White over Grey and European 1.
A dozen serial numbers and represented units tied to those numbers
 
Credits: BIG THANKS to Geary for the staring templates. He was much faster on panel lines than i could have been, and it does
help a skin when it has proper panels and some weathering
Veltro2k for the original model and some technical support
Wrench for more tech support and updating the original some
Muesli for testing the semi final product
TK for the game itself
me, well i just made the nat metal and lizard skins, decals and cleaned up a little round the inis and edges
 
Install directions: drop the objects folder into your mod folder. Allow overwrites. No particular SF version needed and historically
fits into all of them including Israel (resupply in '73).
 
I hope you enjoy this mod

Raytheon T-6C Texan II for SF2
 
 
 
This is the T-6C Texan II as used by No 14 Squadron RNZAF for the SF2 series of games.
 
The T-6C Texan II is an upgraded version of the T-6B with wing hard points, intelligence/ surveillance/ reconnaissance capabilities, a digital glass cockpit that includes a Head-Up Display, six multi-function displays, Hands On Throttle And Stick.
 
I created this version of the T-6 by using Dels amazing AT-6B and removing the parts that differentiate the AT-6B from the T-6C. This works perfectly as the T-6C is the upgraded version of the T-6B, which is what the AT-6B is the armed version of.
 
 
 
Instillation:
 
Extract the files and place into your mods folder.
 
 
 
 
Bonus Skins:
 
Included in the 'Bonus' folder are two what-if Grey RNZAF skins for the T-6C and Dels AT-6B.
