SF2 SA-3 Goa / S-125 Neva SAM Pack 1.0
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
The S-125 Neva / SA-3 Goa Surface to Air Missile system was developed to supplement
the S-75 Dvina / SA-2 Guideline in Soviet and Warsaw Pact service. The SA-2 Guideline
was designed to provide medium to high altitude air defence coverage, primarily against
bomber aircraft. As such it was not well suited to the engagement of low flying targets,
especially fighter aircraft and cruise missiles. The SA-3 has shorter effective range and
lower engagement altitude than its predecessor and also flies slower but due to its two-stage
design it is more effective against more maneuverable targets. It is also able to engage
lower flying targets and being more modern it is much more resistant to ECM than the SA-2.
 
The system was widely exported and has been used in a number of conflicts, most notably:
 
War of Attrition
Yom Kippur War
South African Border War
Iran - Iraq War
Lebanon War
Gulf War
Kosovo War
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This is the first version of the complete system pack. The following variants are featured:
 
S-125 Neva (SA-3A, 1961) - The first Neva variant. Limited export.
 
Volna (SA-N-1A, 1963) - The first naval variant. Available only for SF2NA.
 
Volna-M (SA-N-1B, 1967) - Improved naval variant. Available only for SF2NA.
 
S-125M Neva-M (SA-3B, 1970) - The standard Neva version with significant
improvements over the first variant. Widely exported.
 
Volna-P (SA-N-1B+, 1974) - Further modernization. Available only for SF2NA.
 
S-125M1 Neva-M1 (SA-3B+, 1978) - Upgrade for S-125M. Many S-125M operators
received this modernization in the '80s.
 
Volna-N (SA-N-1C, 1980) - Final modification. Available only for SF2NA.
 
S-125-2M Pechora-2M (2006) - Modern upgrade which included anti-stealth
capability, improved performance against heavy jamming and new missiles with
extended range.
 

* Since the early 2000s a number of manufacturers have built upgraded versions of the
system to make it more attractive to operators which used the cold war versions.
These upgraded versions have different characteristics in terms of mobility, jamming
resistance, missile range etc and thus for simplicity reasons only one "basic" upgraded
version (Pechora-2M) is included.
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
New features:
 
- Fire control radars have been set to their instrumented ranges
 
- PRV-11 Side Net radar was added to offer early warning detection. Originally PRV-11
was a height finder radar but since we lack Low Blow, Flat Face is being used as the
fire control radar and Side Net as early warning radar
 
- Launchers can perform 360 degree rotation and now all battery launchers can point
at the target
 
- More realistic missile ballistics
 
- Fuze distances were increased and thus a hit is not a guaranteed kill
 
- New launch effect and sound
 
- Guidance was changed from Beam Rider to Semi Active Radar Homing. The basic
type of guidance for SA-3 requires target tracking in azimuth, elevation and range and
when launched, the missile flies to a pre-calculated impact point, receiving signals from
the fire control radar. This type is similar to Semi Active Radar Homing
 
- Dramatically improved performance especially in low altitude
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Things that need to be done:
 
- High resolution missile skins
 
- Low Blow model so that we can use the original SA-3 radar instead of Flatface
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Known issues:
 
- Fire control radar can guide only one missile against a single target. Real SA-3 system
could guide two missiles against a single target.
 
- Fire control radar of Pechora-2M can track only one target during each engagement.
Real Pechora-2M fire control radar could track and engage two targets at the same time.
 
- Due to game engine limitations concerning the structure of enemy SAM sites,
each SA-3 site will appear with 6 launchers. Real system had 4 launchers.
 
- Missiles can fly longer at low altitudes as they tend to reach the missile duration time.
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
REQUIREMENTS:
 
You must have installed SF2 North Atlantic to use the stock missile model otherwise
you need to use the 3rd party models (included here).
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
As always open readme.txt first to see installation instructions and credits.

SF2 YAP F-100F Fuel Probe Shadow Line Fix
 
This mod is for the payware YAP F-100F Super Sabre.
 
Thanks and Credit go to:
 
yakarov79 - for creating this new, shadow free fuel probe. Thank you Jarek.
 
FastCargo - for creating the FakePilot.
 

This mod uses the Fake Pilot method to fix the YAP F-100F shadow line.
 
A .psd file is included if you wish to repaint the fuel probe. It is currently painted in the USAF SEA paint scheme.
 
This will not work in SF1.
 
 
 
Installation:
Drop the F-100F and FakePilot folders into your installation's Pilot Folder.
Back up your F-100F_Data.ini file in your aircraft F-100F plane folder and overwrite it with the provided F-100F_Data.ini file. (This file hides the old/original fuel probe and adds the new fuel probe to the plane.)
 
That's it. The fuel probe shadow line is gone.
 
If I forget or miss anyone who deserves credit for anything I release, I apologize. I have no intent to abuse or misuse anyone's work or property or claim it as my own. Please contact me to correct any error.

SF2 Realistic SA-6 Gainful / 2K12 Kub SAM Pack 1.0
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This pack features the SA-6 SAM system. It is a mobile low to medium-level air defense
system, designed to protect ground forces from air attacks. Following variants are included:
 
2K12 Kub (SA-6, 1967) - The first Kub version exported to Middle East and other
Third World countries.
 
2K12M1 Kub-M1 (SA-6, 1973) - Upgraded version exported to Warsaw Pact countries.
 
2K12M3 Kub-M3 (SA-6, 1976) - Final modification exported to Warsaw Pact and some
other countries.
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
New features:
 
- More realistic search/track ranges along with search/track times for StraightFlush radar
 
- Launchers can perform 360 degree rotation and now all battery launchers can point at the
target
 
- Corrected missile parameters
 
- Fuze distances were increased and thus a hit is not a guaranteed kill. Also it has impact on
the near pass with no detonation situation. With longer fuze distances, missiles will detonate
sooner and there will be at least some damage if not a kill
 
- Repainted missile skins
 
- New launch effect and sound
 
- Dramatically improved performance
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Known issues:
 
- Due to game engine limitations mobile SAM batteries can not move with other ground units
and thus offensive ground forces will be exposed to enemy air attacks.
 
- Fire control radar can guide only one missile against a single target. Real SA-6 system
could guide two missiles against a single target.
 
- Missiles can fly longer at low altitudes as they tend to reach the Missile Duration time.
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
REQUIREMENTS:
 
You must have installed any SF2 title which will feature the stock SA-6 system.
I think that SF2, SF2E and SF2I have it.

SF2 Realistic SA-3 / SA-N-1 Goa Pack Beta
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This pack features the famous S-125 Neva (SA-3 Goa) and its naval version Volna-M (SA-N-1B). The following SAM systems are included:
 
S-125 Neva (SA-3A, 1961) - The first Neva variant. Limited export.
 
Volna-M (SA-N-1B, 1967) - First improved naval variant. Only missile included since Kashin ship is a stock stuff. You can use this missile only if you have installed SF2 North Atlantic!
 
S-125M Neva-M (SA-3B, 1970) - The standard Neva version with significant improvements over the first variant. Widely exported.
 
S-125M1 Neva-M1 (SA-3B+, 1978) - Upgrade for S-125M. Many S-125M operators received this modernization in the '80s.
 
S-125 Pechora-2M (2002) - Modern upgrade which included anti-stealth capability, improved performance against heavy jamming and new missiles with extended range.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 
New features:
 
- New search and track ranges for fire control radars
 
- Launchers can perform 360 degree rotation and now all battery launchers can point at the target
 
- More realistic missile parameters. Some values may be higher due to game engine limitations mainly concerning guidance
 
- Fuze distances were increased and thus a hit is not a guaranteed kill
 
- New launch effect and sound
 
- Guidance was changed from Beam Rider to Semi Active Radar Homing. The basic type of guidance for SA-3 requires target tracking in azimuth, elevation and range
and when launched, the missile flies to a pre-calculated impact point, receiving signals from the fire control radar. This type is very similar to Semi Active Radar Homing.
 
- Dramatically improved performance especially in low altitude
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Things that need to be done:
 
- 1024x1024 missile skins
 
- Low Blow model so that we can use the original SA-3 radar instead of Flatface
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Known issues:
 
- Fire control radar can guide only one missile against a single target. Real SA-3 system could guide two missiles against a single target
 
- Low altitude performance is good enough but not at the desired level. Tests are still going on
 
- Missiles can fly longer at low altitudes as they tend to reach the Missile Duration time
 
- Userlist.ini has only Soviet as the only operator but temporarily this is not a problem since they appear as the red side in many terrains. The complete operators list
will be on the final version.
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
REQUIREMENTS:
 
You must have installed SF2 North Atlantic to use the stock missile model otherwise you need to use the 3rd party models (included here).
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Check read me file for installation instructions.
 
Lot of research and hard work was made to make this SAM as realistic as possible.
 
Keep in mind that is a beta version. When all the issues will be fixed in the desired level, we will have our final version! Stay tuned and enjoy as much as you can this SAM

RED SIDE STANDARD SA-8/SA-N-4 Gecko Pack 0.3 Beta
============================================
 
This is a public test version. Please try out equipment playing from both sides. This pack has been tested against stock planes on stock terrain. Mostly on IsraelME, a more advanced map and for fast loading time :)
About 1000+ launch tests have been done on planes with various types with or without jamming equipment at low and high altitude. Ballistics have been also checked with HoneyFox's Missile Range Simulator.
 
Introduction:
-------------
To follow the philosophy behind Red Side Standard Weapons Pack (RSSW) I made an attempt to standardize the SAM systems as well. The SA-8 Gecko or Osa family is next in the row. It is a late addition into the game, appears in modern eras. It is the most sophisticated SAM system developed during the soviet era and it is still in service. The SA-8 is a low altitude system for short ranges - considered mobile by the game. In theory it would defend armored units, it can move and stops to shoot. Had the placement routine finished by TW... therefore the SA-8 needs user placement. Usage as Mobile AAA is NOT RECOMMENDED, since this system in large numbers can be more than lethal. Also keep availability dates in mind. A plane with no jammer or chaff is helpless against this system in the early 70's - and I did not modify Noise and CM resistance values.
 
Using multiple reference materials (both english an russian) we tried to fine tune the effectiveness of all the weaponry for satisfactory player game experience while keeping as much realism as possible. This provides more challenge playing on the blue side.
Effectiveness for guided missiles and radars have been tuned to provide realistic hit rate within the proper launch requirements. Because of game limitations, this means some technical parameters and values may be different from real world data.
We kept as much stock reference as we could to provide compatibility with original game standard (Naming, Types, etc).
Yet, there are no new ground objects included, but many new equipment is WIP for the final version.
 
Contents:
---------
- The SA-8 and SA-8B systems, with thoroughly revised characteristics (FM, Guidance, Ballistics etc)
- The SA-N-4 systems, with thoroughly revised characteristics (FM, Guidance, Ballistics etc)
- Kiev and Krivak ship classes equipped with modded SA-N-4 missiles (both early and late models)
- Weapon (and folder) names use common standard for convenience, clarity and simplified looks
- Ground objects use the stock TW 3D models
- Osa Launch sound. Modify soundlist.ini to use this wav file
 
Important changes:
------------------
- Missile ballistic data
- Radar search and track ranges and altitudes
- Early SA-8 (Osa) launcher with 4 missiles (No new 3D yet)
- Corrected SA-N-4 reload times.
Credits:
--------
Ground objects: TW
In-game testing: Everyone who gave us feedback and shared game experience! Thank you very much! I do count on more testing with the SA-2 and upcoming systems as well.
 
Work in progress:
--------
New launcher vehicle corrected 3D models (Early Osa)

RED SIDE STANDARD SA-2 Guideline Pack 0.41 Beta
============================================
 
This is a public test version. Please try out equipment playing from both sides. This pack has been tested against stock planes on stock terrain. Mostly on VietnamSE due SAM site density and fast loading time :)
About 1000+ launch tests have been done on planes with various types with or without jamming equipment at low and high altitude. Ballistics have been also checked with HoneyFox's Missile Range Simulator.
 
Introduction:
-------------
To follow the philosophy behind Red Side Standard Weapons Pack (RSSW) I made an attempt to standardize the SAM systems as well. The first of such, the SA-2 Guideline or System-75 family.

We kept as much stock reference as we could to provide compatibility with original game standard (Naming, Types, etc).
Yet, there are no new ground objects included, but many new equipment is WIP for the final version.
 
Contents:
---------
- The latest 3D models of the SA-2 family missiles from Spillone104 with thoroughly revised characteristics (FM, Guidance, Ballistics etc)
- Weapon (and folder) names use common standard for convenience, clarity and simplified looks
- Most objects use the stock TW 3D models
 
Important changes:
------------------
- All missiles have been changed from Beam Rider to SAHM guidance, as a work around the faulty "tail chasing" game logic also present with Rear60 IR seeking missiles. Also, "Beam Rider" guidance does not allow lead targeting of the missile.
- All Fan Song radars have been set to their instrumented range, now it is fully up to the RCS, altitude and noise jamming values to determine the range of detection.
- Target tracking range has been made equal to the search range - what the Fan Song can see can track immediately - launch is still limited by the missile parameters.
- Missile Turn G and Seeker FOV has been toned down to (almost) real life data. It gives a chance to "Dance of Death" - outmaneuvering the missile in early planes. AI however will be still toast, though.
- Now all missiles have new 3D models and new skins, thanks to Spillone104

Soviet/Russian Pilots Pack - part 2 (80's to present)
-------------------------------------------------
 
These are re-skins of the stock pilot model, representing Soviet/Russian pilots wearing the latest generation Soviet/Rusian flightgear.
 

Pilot descriptions:
-------------------------------------------------
 
Red7250 and Red7350
 
These pilots are wearing current standard Russian helmet - ZSh-7, KM-34 series 2 oxygen mask and VKK-15 high altitude suit. Developed in late 1980s, these suits are the latest generation of mass produced Soviet/Russian high altitude suits
 
Use on:
Almost all contemporary Russian aircraft that fly on higer altitudes: MiG-25, MiG-29, MiG-31, Su-27, Tu-160, late Tu-95.
 
Red5260, Red7260 and Red7360
 
These guys are wearing VMSK-4 naval survival suit. It is a complete pilot protection system as it contains a number of partial pressure (G-suit) components and it also acts as a dry-suit in case the pilot ejects into the cold waters of the North or Barents Seas. Great for North Atlantic or DBS terrains.
Red5260 is more suitable for older aircraft like Yak-38.
 
Use on:
Soviet/Russian naval aviation aircraft, aircraft flying over cold waters
Yak-38, Yak-41, Su-33, MiG-29K, Tu-22M etc...
 
Red5225, Red7225 and Red7325
 
Regular flight suits in camo pattern and anti-G pants. Used in various aircraft since the late 80s.
 
Use on:
Pretty much everything that flies since the 80s. I am using these in ground attackers.
 

Instalation:
-------------------------------------------------
1. Extract to your "Objects\Pilots\" folder.
 
2. Open the *_data.ini file for your aircraft of choice and search for a section like this:
 
[Pilot]
SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT
...
 
Change the line
 
PilotModelName=...
 
to
 
PilotModelName=RedXXXX
 
If the it does not have the line above, just add it.
Save!
 
3. Start the game and enjoy your new pilots!

SF2 C-130 Hercules and other Cargo Pilots 2016
By Viper63a
 
This mod includes additional C-130 or other cargo plane pilots. Not sure where the base pilot I modded came from, I think I got the pilot from a different mod. If anyone knows, please drop me a line so I can properly credit the creator of the LOD file.
 
To use the pilots, please add them to your "Pilots" folder and update your "<plane>DATA.INI" file's "Crew" section to display them in your planes.
 
9 White Males
2 Black Males
1 Oriental Male
1 Black Female
2 White Females
 
Enjoy!

SF2 Alternate Clean and Dirty Exhaust Emitters 2016
By Viper63a
 
This mod includes custom exhaust emitters to replace the stock Clean and Dirty emitters. I've been tweaking these for about a year now (!) and I think I finally have it the way I like it.
 
If you're for vapor ripples or greasy streaks in the sky, these ain't it. The Clean emitter has just a tad bit more presence so you can see it when looking back. The Dirty emitter blooms darkly behinds the plane and fades into transparency.
 
If you choose to install these effects, I recommend that you back up your current "Effects" folder. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
 
To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your "Saved Games" mod folder(s).
 
Enjoy!

This is an updated NATIONS list.
 
I included as much nations and services as I could.
 
I disactivated the active dates, so no more planes with <none> air force as it was happening when the service dates are before the active date.
 
I modified also the 'PilotTrainingStandard' for some nations.
 
Examples:
 
Now the SOVIET is 'excellent' as it should have been in the first place.
 
AFRES, ANG and USArmy are 'normal', not 'excellent'.
 
This is a tough decision to make, because the pilot training standard improved or deteriorated during the course of time.
 
So people should adjust it according to the expansion pack/campaign that they are using.
 
Examples:
 
Russia should be POOR in the 1990s, NORMAL in the 2000s and EXCELLENT in the 2010s.
 
Iran should be POOR until around 2000, afterwards NORMAL.
 
Iraq should be NORMAL until 1992, afterwards POOR.
 
Also, I forgot to mention, all speech files have been adjusted for the speech pack, sometimes not exactly accurate e.g.
 
Switzerland uses German and Bulgaria Russian, but surely more appropriate than USAF speech!
 
Enjoy.
 
v1.1 changes
 
- Mercenary Alignment modified to MERCENARY and Pilot Training Standard modified from EXCELLENT to NORMAL.
 
- South Korea Pilot Training Standard modified from POOR to NORMAL.
However, if you intend to fly a Korean War period campaign for 1950 ONLY, modify it back to POOR.
 
- Duplicate entry of United States Army Aviation deleted.
 
- Iceland is added as a nation, useful for SF2NA campaigns.
 
- Russian Navy name changed to its Russian one.
 
v1.1a changes
 
- The Iraqi 'PilotTrainingStandard' changed from 'normal' to 'poor'.
 
- Turkish speech is back to USAF speech by request of Emre.
 
v1.2 changes
 
- Added the Vietnam People's Air Force of wazalo68
 
- Added the United States Coast Guard of Sheriff001

Yet, there are no new ground objects included, but many new equipment is WIP for the final version.
 
Contents:
---------
- The latest 3D models of the SA-2 family missiles from Spillone104 with thoroughly revised characteristics (FM, Guidance, Ballistics etc)
- Weapon (and folder) names use common standard for convenience, clarity and simplified looks
- Most objects use the stock TW 3D models
 
Important changes:
------------------
- All missiles have been changed from Beam Rider to SAHM guidance, as a work around the faulty "tail chasing" game logic also present with Rear60 IR seeking missiles. Also, "Beam Rider" guidance does not allow lead targeting of the missile.
- All Fan Song radars have been set to their instrumented range, now it is fully up to the RCS, altitude and noise jamming values to determine the range of detection.
- Target tracking range has been made equal to the search range - what the Fan Song can see can track immediately - launch is still limited by the missile parameters.

So the FM is finally corrected, the empty weights are now correct, as well as many minor other changes in order to make ir more realistic.
 
Don't be fooled, I did A LOT of research and a lot of BETA testing. When I had no definite data, I calculated, so some data are estimations.
 
For proving my point, I include a 4vs4 mission, Turkish F-16D Block 50+ (the heaviest Viper in service) against USAF aggressors.
 
Why v0.9? There are some planes missing. These are TW planes, as well as israeli -A models, egyptian, jordanian, UAE, thai, indonesian & singaporian planes.
 
EDIT:
 
As it turned out, these should be released in a vol.2
 
Requests:
 
I hope someone would make hi-res skins for all these nations mentioned above as well for the early -A models of the four european nations.
 
Also a proper lod for the taiwanese block 20.
 

Logfile changes
 
-------
 
v1.0
 
- Added the fabulous F-16A ADF AMI of dtmdragon, deleted the old F-16A AMI
 
- The mission now is on more even terms, both F-16s have now the same loadout.
 
-------
 
v2.0
 
- Added the following planes
 
F-16A_Blk10-EAF
F-16A_Blk10-IDF
F-16A_Netz_87
F-16B_Blk15-NDC
F-16B_Netz_87
 
- Now these planes are complete
 
F-16C_B40_egy
F-16C_B52+_egy
F-16D_B30
F-16D_B30_agr
F-16D_B30_gk
F-16D_B52+_egy
 
The Egyptian block 40 is based on the Turkish one, the block 52+ on the Polish.
 
- Reworked DATA.INI for ALL planes. Mostly, but not only, reworked engine and weight data.
 
- Four new missions are added. F-16 vs F-16, these missions are indeed very exciting.
 
Known issues: The F-16D block 30 skins should be tweaked a bit to represent a 100% proper -D block 30 skin.
 
CREDITS:
 
Effects/Sounds/LODS/Skins - Dave/The Viper Team
 
F110 effects only - Fast Cargo < The new, proper F110 effects possibly again by Fast Cargo. If not, please verify.
 
The egyptian skin - mohand777
 
The F110 engine sound, I was not able to trace. Pls PM for any feedback to give proper credit.
 

A v3.0 will come up, but not anytime soon that will include the above mentioned "jordanian, UAE, thai, indonesian & singaporian planes", hopefully even more than that.
 
------
 
Request: MORE Hi-rez skins!!!!

This is a total rework of loadout and data.ini of ALL F-8s.
 
These include all TMF, TW and YAP models. You will find them inside three separate folders.
 
I tried to be as realistic as possible regarding performance figures, empty weights etc. Please give me feedback about the results, what do you think about.

without you the update would not have been possible.
 
if some credits are wrong and/or missing, please send me a PM.
 
REQUESTS:
 
- More hi-rez skins for all three families, like these in the screenshots. As you can see, in both TW and TMF the hi-rez are a real improvement. Skins for the RF-8G, especially late low-viz, will be vert much appreciated.
 
- A proper cockpit as both TMF and TW look really dated now.
 
- Proper ejection seats (better than before, but still not 100% accurate)
 
Enjoy!!
 
Note: TW models include DLC also.

Some skins for the stock T-72A.
 
Camo
Snow
Tan
Finland Camo

http://combatace.com/files/file/9459-canadair-cl-13b-mk6-sabre-late-sf2/
 
If you don't have it already, you'll need that mod first. It's one I heartly reccomend! Ravenclaw and the GMG did an OUTSTANDING job on this aircraft!!!
 
Like many (ok, most) of the other Sabres recently updated, the following items have been changed, added to,
adjusted and whatevered:
 
updated hit boxes/collision points
added destroyed model callout
new FM (ala KAW Sabres)
activated squadron name display via fake "SqTail" decal
decal numbers now randomized
"brightened" gunsight (for us old folks!)
added avionics statements, and avionics ini for radar-ranging gunsight
Removed "Exported=TRUE", nationalizing to ONLY West Germany
Added SF2 "short name" display
Changed Start Year so camo skins only are used.
 
These changes will bring this superb mod up to the latest standards, FM wise. Nothing else has been changed -- nothing else really needed to be!! See "Notes" for things I did =NOT= do.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them! Also, the "Notes" section for a more detailed change/correction list.

Hello
this is the 3d max and a Lod ..... file that i make......for the Multi-Role Electronically Scanned Array (MESA) Surveillance Radar
So if someone want to use it as a fake Pilot......is a Lod inside file.....with uv map...!!! Also a 3d's max file to save time. The cordinates...are not 100...%...
Need recalculate.....with the plane...737....for 100% size....!!!
A friend ask me.....about the file...so i give it to all....! This is more.....for beginners..in modelling....with 3d max..

The MESA radar provides air-to-air coverage, air-to-surface coverage, integrated identification friend or foe, special track beams and focused sector operation.
MESA builds on the company's expertise acquired from the AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) to bring military airborne surveillance capabilities to mid-size Boeing 737 aircraft.
MESA enables sophisticated air-to-air and maritime coverage and integrated identification of friend-or-foe systems.
Advances in technology have caused a revolution in the capabilities and flexibility of airborne surveillance systems and sensors used in Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) systems. Developments in distributed transmitters, commercial off-the-shelf processing and high-performance antenna arrays have enabled ES multirole electronically scanned array (MESA) radar to be cost effectively applied to the next generation Boeing 737-700 series aircraft.

Model adapted from freeware model...not found creator name yet...
 
adapted and a lot of restoring the model to max format....and some minor new meshes and some mapping...
 
all inis are basically TW but adapted by me.
 
copied stock data etc but renamed to avoid conflict.......works ok in game...after having a few mesh probs...(high poly count) fixed.
I think its far better than stock...
feel free to alter ini`s as desired...
 
Usual CA Rulez apply...

SF2 TopGun F-14 Pilots: Maverick/Goose, Viper/Jester & Iceman/Slider!
By Viper 07/03/2015
 
TopGun Pilots flies again in StrikeFighters 2!!!! Yep...nuff said.
 
This mod will not update any existing SF2 files, but I recommend that you back up your mod folder (...\Objects\Pilots).
 
There are 2 steps to this install...(Three counting backing up!)
 
1) Copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" to your target mod folder. My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was, but yours my be different...
 
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic\
 
* It will ask to overwrite, go ahead and overwrite. This mod should not change anything you already have installed - unless you, by some chance named something with the same names as I did. Hence the back up recommendation.
 
NOTE: You should be able to install these pilots in SF2 game for most, if not all, jets. It doesn't have to be an F-14 or StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic. Have Mav and Goose fly and F-111?!! Enjoy!
 
2) Locate and update the "data.ini" file of the jet you want these pilots installed in. In my example, I will update the "F-14A_82_DATA.INI" file located in...(again, your location may be different)...
 
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic\Objects\Aircraft\F-14A_82
 
* In my example, I am updating the "F-14A_82_DATA.INI" file. In the target jet's folder, locate the "*DATA.INI" file. Edit the file in a text editor (Notepad) and "Find" the "Crew" section in the "*DATA.INI" file. In this section, there should be a [Pilot] and [CoPilot] (if the plane has a copilot. F-14's do) sub-section.
 
* Look for the "PilotModelName=..." entry and update it with Maverick and Goose's info (it's the name of the folders and ini files you copied into ...\Objects\Pilots in Step 1).
 
NOTE: All pilots and copilots in your flight for this plane will get this change...So if you have a wingman, Mav and Goose will show up there too...Sorry, this can't be helped...
 
All available Pilots...

This is a full SF2 conversion of the Soviet/Russian/Warsaw Pact Pilots set by The Trooper
 
All pilots are now in their own individual folders, ready for use in SF2 (any and all versions). This is mainly for those Old Hand ™ that have not converted over, and for the New Folks ™ that may want something better to look at than the stock pilot figure
 
Also included, is a new "RedAir001" by Eole (which is light years better than the craptastic one I did several eons ago).
 
Trooper's full instructions are in the zip; in SF2 adding new pilot figures remains the same as in 1stGens. So, be ready for use of the 3W Cat Extractor to pull any and all data inis for editing.
 
As there are no individual images of the pilots, to make the best choice for use, open the folders and simply view the skin bitmap.
 
With thanks to The Trooper; and Stratos and Eole, who gave me the push to assemble and upload this.
 
Enjoy!
