======================


=QM-29B (9.12B) Drone=


======================


 
Background:
==========
 
Following the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russian 4th-generation fighter jets could be obtained through commercial deal, rather than through defection and capture.
 
Likewise, in 1992, 6 Mig-29B (9.12B) were loaned to the USA by an unnamed foreign country for evaluation, testing and, in a few occasion, training.
 
For that purpose, several NATO & friends personal were detached to the 53rd Weapons Evaluation Group.
 
 
Installation:
=========
 
*A working installation of the SF2 Mescalero Proving Grounds is required, otherwise, it will simply not work.*
 
- decompress the archive to a temporary folder, on your desktop for example
- drop the content of the "To your mod folder"... into your mod folder, confirm when asked to overwrite
- start your game and enjoy
 
 
Credits:
======
 
Original Mig-29A by The Mirage Factory.
The gorgeous pit is the MiG-29 Cockpit Repaint by Orsin.
The skin is purely fictional but may not have been possible, within a lifetime span given my skills, without the amazing Mig29 Templates by Sundowner.
ChampionsVA56 for his guidance and inspiration.
 
Jane's publications, Harpoon High Tide's Data Annex, 1F-MIG29-1 flight manual, Yefim Gordon's books and posts by Tom Cooper from ACIG have been used as reference for datas' fine tuning.
 
If I forgot anyone, let me know and I'll correct it asap.
 
 
Notes:
=====
 
The QM-29B Fulcrum Drone is available from 1992 to 2002.
 
It have no ECM but have four times as much chaff and flares than normal.
 
The fuel transfer sequence have been made as correct as possible, so watch your fuel, and a boost to the ACM mode's ScanBeamAngle is loosely simulating the IRST device.
 
If you dig in, you may notice unusual Radar Range or Max Visible Distance values. They have been set as is for an ongoing project in which a lot of such things have been normalized and in that environment, they make sense. Given the role of the platform, they should not be an issue amongst default values however.
 
Be advised that the Safe Altitude have been set to 1000 feet (304.8m).
 
Have fun.

Yak-27R uptade for SF2
 
- destroyed model added
 
- some *.ini fixes
 
- 'no shadows' bug fixed.

Background: Contract for 24 x Su-30MK2 was signed in 07.2006 by president Hugo Chavez,
as reaction for american restrictions in deliveries of spare parts to venezuelan F-16s.
 
Deliveries of Sukhois started very quickly in 12.2006, because KnAAPO have some
Su-30MK2 undelivered to China. Venezuelan Su-30MK2 are manufactured by KnAAPO
(Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association). Similiar variant is used by China and Vietnam.

A-4G Skyhawk
(r1 - 1976 - VF-805)
 
 
This mod should ultimately cover the whole VF-805 career of the Australian A-4G, however since it started for a very specific project of mine, it will be released as-is and updated whenever (if ever) the rest is done.
For that reason, if you have an interest on the topic and are willing to correct or complete the set, do feel free to do so, it's a safer bet than waiting for the next release.
 
It has been built with/for SF2, it requires Thirdwire's A-4E and A-4F to work, there should be no other prerequisite.
 
r1 includes only the mid-70's skin, as my project focuses on the year 1976.
The skin and decals are as correct as I'm willing/able to do based on Thirdwire's skin.
All plane and serial numbers are correctly paired and historically correct (all planes crashed before 1976 are not present).
The only inaccuracy is the fact that some of the planes present were affected to VC-724, however, in case of conflict and to cope with attrition they would have been transferred to VF-805, hence their presence in this mod.
 
Gunrunner
 
 
 
Grey areas :
 
- On most pictures the A-4G in '76 had the area surrounding the gun muzzle painted black, on some, a square area on the fuselage was painted black and on other, nothing was painted black at all, no text gives any reason for that or precise reference, therefore it's been left as stock.
- Likewise, most sources claim some A-4G were not fitted with guns, without providing the serial number of those planes or whether this was a temporary or permanent change; Moreover, I couldn't find photographic evidence of a gunless A-4G.
- The current INI is a hybrid of A-4E and A-4F, uses an A-4F cockpit with A-4E avionics, I lack sources and will to do any better at the moment, it will have to do.
 
 
Optionnally, you can add VF-805 "Checkerboards" to your SquadronList.ini, however it is only a nicety and the skin doesn't rely on it.
 
[squadronxxx]
Name=RAN_805
DisplayName=805 Sq. "Checkerboards"
Nation=AustralianNavy
 
 
TO DO :
 
- Replace the antennas by accurate ones.
- Have missile rails for outer pylons use with Sidewinders.
- Add the late 60's VF-805 skin (without checkerboard).
- Add the early 70's VF-805 skin (with checkerboard on the rudder).
- Add the late 70's VF-805 skin (grey camo with knight).

MQ-10A Kodiak – Release Version 4.0
 
Welcome to the Kodiak release version 4.0. This plane was conceived out of my need to find something to effectively kick-start my creative juices and prime me mentally to tackle a few of my languishing projects.
 
The MQ-10A is obviously a fictitious UAV on steroids. I best described it once as the unholy union of an A-10 and a Predator drone. It’s capable of carrying pretty much everything and oh, did I mention it VTOLS? Yeah, I wet myself a little too...
 
Please fly it, enjoy it for what it is and go blow some crap up…
 
NOTES:
 
1. Engine nacelles are rotated via what ever you have mapped for VTOL. Max VTOL weight is around 47,000
2. Do not be bashful in criticism or critique.
3. Installation is easy… decompress and cut/paste it in your aircraft folder. It has been tested on all version 2 games but should work in version 1 as well.
 
CHANGE LOG / FIXES:
 
1. The weird porpoises issue has been fixed. The Kodiak is again a rock-sold weapon platform.
2. Right, wrong, or indifferent, I’ve settled on a very basic if not extremely functional projected cockpit format.
 
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS:
 
1. I pilfered the HUD stuff from Fastcargo’s F-35 bird.
2. I pilfered FM tidbits from a lot of different birds. ** Once I finalize on what will be enclosed in the final product I will include full and complete disclosure.
3. It includes a default Olive Drab scheme and all layered paintshop pro templates to assist in the creation of more.

SF2 Updates and Loading Screens by NeverEnough
 
This is a complete SF2 installation package for the beautiful Tornado F3 by Bobrock and the many talented modders listed above. The Effect Emitters have been updated to January 2011 patch level. The Wingtip Vortices have been changed so they move properly with the swingwing position. The new TorAfterBurnerEmitter utilizes the January 2011 Particle System combined with one of dfang's afterburner tga's to give the model an afterburner plume similar to photos I've found of the Tornado F3 in warp drive. Also included are two additional loading screens of the 43 Squadron Special Colors Tornado F3.
 
To use the additional 43 Squadron Loading Screens, change the line in the Tornado_F3.INI as shown below:
 
[AircraftData]
AircraftFullName=Tornado F3
AircraftShortName=Tornado
AircraftDataFile=Tornado_F3_data.ini
CockpitDataFile=Tornado_F3_cockpit.ini
HangarScreen=F3_HANGARSCREEN.bmp
LoadingScreen=F3_Loading.bmp<<<<Change this to TorF3_Loading.bmp or TornF3_Loading.bmp
 
 
For those of you who have not installed Bobrock's Tornado F3 in the Second Generation Thirdwire sims because there was no SF2 conversion, you owe it to yourselves to take this opportunity to correct that omission. Bobrock's Tornado F3 is really absolutely stunning!

The G 91Y was a tactical fighter-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft capable of carrying out direct support, close interdiction, photographic reconnaissance and air combat missions.
 
Instructions:
This aircraft is for SF2, SF2V, SF2I and SF2E last patch.
1) Unzip the file G91Y.rar
2) Copy Object and Sounds folders into your mods folder (for example: C:\Documents and Settings\MyAccount\Documents\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\...).
For people with 4/3 monitors : remember to change the entries into G91Y.ini for Loading / HangarScreen.
Animation 1: canopy open
In order to open the drag-chute land with the airbrakes open.
As the real one this model can reach speed over the airframe limit , be careful with the afterburner.
