Object Mods

Civilian Fuel Truck
= SF/Wo* & SF2 series Games (Any and All!) =
 
A simple repaint of the stock Zil Fuel truck into something more 'civilian' looking for use around airports and such like. The templates are supplied (they're 1024x, so easy to work with) to allow other skinners the opportunity to create other skins. Also supplied, is a red Phillips 66 skin, easily swapped.
 
The inis supplied herein are in ANSI format, allowing for use in both 1stGen SF/Wo* and SF2 series.
 
See the 'To Install' section below for more notes, and how to add to Terrains as a seperate item via _types and _targets editing.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them! They'll all add a little color to an otherwise drab setting.
 
Happy Gassing!

This is a "What If" nation missile system based off of the real SA-18 Grouse (or what I could find though internets sources).
 
It is set for the "Taliban" nation for my Afghanistan install but can be adapted of course for any map or nation:
 
[Nationxxx]
Name=Taliban
DisplayName=Taliban
Alignment=ENEMY
Mercenary=TRUE
PilotNameList=NamesMercs.lst
RankList=RanksUSAF.lst
CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst
Formation.Fighter=USFighter
Formation.Attack=USFighter
Formation.Bomber=USBomber
Formation.Transport=USBomber
Formation.Tank=USTank
Formation.MobileAD=USAD
PilotTrainingStandard=EXCELLENT
GenderRatio=0
DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav
DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav
DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav
SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat
SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.str
StartDate=1994
 
It uses Pasko's "SAM Gunner" since I have no modeling skills and is setup for SF2. It can be of course adapted for SF1 but that requires a bit of work that can be found in the SF2 Knowledge Base and is a drag and drop as all files and folders are already organized.
 
Afghanistan rules of thumb:
 
Kandahar-Shindand-Herat-Qala I Naw "ring" stay above 24,000ft MSL + for traveling. When you break that (usually 23,000 ft) you may get shot at. Other areas roughly 22,000 ft MSL + is a good altitude to stay above but again use flares conservatively. It's not very accurate but if enough are fired you will get shot down. I've seen earlier versions of this shred SEAD flights.
 
This is strictly for What If scenarios or installs rather than real world setups as so far there is no heavy use of SAMs in-country.

More Airbase Goodies
= SF/Wo* & SF2 series Games (Any and All -hopefully*!) =
 
A few more pieces of equipment, to place around airfields or bases, or other 'locations of interest'. The items are:
 
Bulldozer (-original creator unknown, as it comes from waay back on the WW2 terrains)
Road Grader
Steamroller (these 2 by Sundowner)
 
It should be noted at this time, these are NOT GroundObjects, like the yellow fuel truck recently released, but TERRAIN objects, that will need hand placement on your terrain of choice. Instructions are below in the "To Add To A Terrain" section.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow (for Terraformers/Targeteers), yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
 
*note: as the grader and roller have been built in late model MAX, they may not work in SF/Wo* games. This has NOT been tested*
 
With special thanks to Sundowner!!
 
Enjoy!

Ace Combat Nations
December 13th, 2020 (1st Release)
by Menrva

>For Strike Fighters 2 games
This mod is a fork of my nations expansion mod of the stock ThirdWire _nations.ini file. It includes only the nations and respective aviation services of the Ace Combat universe, AKA Strangereal. All roundels are based on official sources and references from all Ace Combat games. Here below a summary of the included services:
-Generic Mercenary faction, using the logo of Ace Combat's developer, Project ACES, as insignia.
-Osean Air Defense Force and Osean Maritime Defense Force (as seen in Ace Combat 5, Ace Combat Zero and Ace Combat 7).
-Yuktobanian Air Force and Yuktobanian Navy (as seen in Ace Combat 5).
-Erusean Air Force and Erusean Navy (as seen in Ace Combat 04 and Ace Combat 7).
-Free Erusea Air Force (available since 2006, as seen in Ace Combat 04, Ace Combat 5 and Ace Combat 7).
-Independent State Allied Forces Air Force and Independent State Allied Forces Navy (available since 2003 until 2006, as seen in Ace Combat 04 and Ace Combat 5).
-International Union Peacekeeping Force (available since 2007, as seen in Ace Combat 7).
-Belkan Air Force and Belkan Naval Aviation (as seen in Ace Combat 5 and Ace Combat Zero).
-Ustio Air Force (available since 1989, as seen in Ace Combat Zero).
-Sapin Air Force (as seen in Ace Combat Zero).
-Republic of Emmeria Air Force and Republic of Emmeria Navy (as seen in Ace Combat 6).
-Estovakian Air Force and Estovakian Naval Aviation (as seen in Ace Combat 6).
-Aurelian Air Force and Aurelian Naval Aviation (as seen in Ace Combat X).
-Leasath Air Force and Leasath Naval Aviation (as seen in Ace Combat X).
-USEA Unified Air Force and USEA Unified Navy (available since 1996 until 2002, as seen in the remake of Ace Combat 2, that is Ace Combat 3D).
-Voslage Air Force (as seen in Ace Combat 7).
-Nordennavic Royal Air Force (from Ace Combat: Northern Wings).
Other aviation services are known to exist in Strangereal, such as the Rectan Air Force, FATO Air Force and Valka Royal Air Force. However, there are no infos concerning such countries with no established flag and culture at the moment. Those are not included in the mod for the time being.
This mod removes the Real World aviation services included in Strike Fighters 2, as such it is not compatible with any mod out of the box. Modders and users are advised to tweak _userlist.ini files and _data.ini files for aircraft and ground objects, to make use of the new services added by this mod.

>Credits (in no particular order):
-nuni, for his suggestions and other Ace Combat themed mods.
-Astore, for his support and for being one of the few Italian Ace Combat fans like me.
-RythusOmega, for providing all Ace Combat 7 emblems, reworked for use in this mod.
-SuperOstrich, for providing hi-res remakes of the roundel of Nordennavic.
-mue, for sharing info about the functionality of the alias.lst file.

>Disclaimer:
This is a freeware; yet it can be redistributed ONLY in other CombatACE mods/mod packages.
This mod may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware additions.

Aerodynamically Limited MiG-17s v1.1
=================
Description:
This is a mod which limits the maneuverability of the stock ThirdWire MiG-17, -17F and -17PF at high subsonic speeds, especially above .8M.  It has long been published that the MiG-17's lack of hydraulically boosted controls prevented the pilot from turning much harder than 2-2.5g as the aircraft got beyond 400 knots (especially by 450).  The stock TW MiG-17s, however, have in excess of 10g authority at the mid-to-high 400s of knots, and this is one of the reasons they are commonly called "UFOs" - they can out-turn almost any fighter anywhere in the envelope.
This mod adjusts both the lift coefficient and the aerodynamic pitch dampening coefficient to reduce the MiG-17's ability to pull high-g turns at airspeeds exceeding .8 Mach.  This provides the player with the ability to utilize real-world speed tactics employed by F-4, F-8 and other aircrews against the MiG-17.  Keep the fight fast, and you can now out-turn the FRESCO.  
This mod does NOT adjust the lower-speed performance of the FRESCO.  As such, if you try to get into the phonebooth and burn away your energy, expect the same results as before.  If you choose to fly the MiG-17 with this FM modification, it adds a degree of challenge and realism in that just like the AI, you won't be able to load a 12g turn at 500knots anymore, and will have to pay attention to airspeed.  The speedbreak is your friend!  I personally had no problem dogfighting with the FM, but it did require better energy management in that it requires you to keep the aircraft neither too slow, nor too fast.
V1.1 (23 Nov 17) has also changed the engine response time for the MiG-17's VK-1F engine.  It is reported in Red Eagles that the engine took approximately 15 seconds (p.112) to go from idle to full military power.  Most engines from the 50s and 60s had slow response times (e.g., the TF-30 taking approximately 8 seconds to go from idle to military and another 4 to stage up to Zone 5), and this required a bit of thinking and tactics to work around.  "Jose" Oberle (Lt Col, Ret) explained that the engine worked well enough if kept above 80 percent power, but pulling back to idle, then pushing back towards military power "took forever" (Ibid.), and that the easiest way to handle decelerating was to keep the engine at 80 percent and deploy the speed brakes.  The AI isn't harshly impacted by this limitation, but a player using this data.ini will have to consider this limitation.  If, as a player, you do not want to deal with the slower engine response, the original entry is simply commented out, and can be restored by editing the .ini.
=================
Whats in it:
There are three data.inis contained in this mod.  One for the baseline MiG-17, one for the MiG-17F and one for the MiG-17PF.  This mod adjusts the ThirdWire MiG-17s and will work with any version of StrikeFighters 2, including merged and single installs.
=================
Installation:
1.  Unzip the contents of the "Aero_Limited_MiG-17sV11.7z" file into a folder
2.  Open the folder.  Copy the contents of the folder (MiG-17, -17F, and -17PF folders) into your SF2 mod folder's Objects\Aircraft folder, allowing all files to overwrite.
3.  The Data.ini files should already be read only, but if not, set them to read only so the game does not re-write or over-write the data file with the game's original files upon booting up (this happens sometimes when a mod changes a core game file).
4. Go fly!

Some open-source examples of airspeed and engine limitations of the MiG-17:
From "Scream of Eagles," "Tooter" Teague (who flew one of the captured MiG-17's) put it that: "We found out very quickly that the MiG ['17] goes out of control at 450 knots...He [the '17] locks up at about 425 and he goes absolutely left wing down...his wing warps...so if he goes 500 knots he's out of control  He's in a left wing roll an can't do anything about it.  So just do 500 knots and it becomes only a question of eyes.  Keeping sight and keeping fast." (p. 138).  
From "Red Eagles": "We had to teach them that if they could - as a defender in an American airplane - get the MiG-17 into the 450-knot regime, and then start to turn, then the MiG pilot would have to overcome this huge aerodynamic load on the tail without any hydraulic assistance.  He may have had the potential to pull 7Gs, but he could probably pull no more than 2Gs because he simply didn't have the physical strength to overcome the loads on the tail." (p.132)  
From "Duke" Cunningham (in "Dogfights): [the MiGs are travelling fast.  Cunningham knows the MiG, lacking hydraulic controls like the F-4, is hard to turn.] "So I looked at him and said 'nope, can't do it,' so I broke into him and he overshot right down below me."
[Engine] From "Red Eagles, New Edition": The VK-1F was slow to respond to movements of the throttle, and it took in the region of 15 seconds for it to go from idle thrust to "military" thrust power setting (the maximum non-afterburning thrust available).  Oberle observed: "This slow engine response was a characteristic of the old engines.  If you kept the power up above 80 percent you had pretty good engine response, but if you ever pulled it back to idle and then pushed the power up to accelerate, it would take forever for the engine to spool back up to the 80 percent rangewhere you finally started getting power." (p.112)
