Mirage IIIO Rose I Pakistan Air Force
 
Install - Need Update July 2012 and DLC Mirage IIIO
 
Project ROSE (Retrofit Of Strike Element) was an upgrade programme launched by the Pakistan Air Force to upgrade old Dassault Mirage III and Mirage 5 aircraft with modern avionics. In the early 1990s the PAF procured 50 ex-Australian Mirage III fighters, 33 of which were selected after an inspection to undergo upgrades. In the first phases of Project ROSE the ex-Australian Mirage III fighters were fitted with new defensive systems and cockpits, which included new HUDs, MFDs, RWRs, HOTAS controls, radar altimeters and navigation/attack systems. They were also fitted with the FIAR Grifo M3 multi-mode radar and designated ROSE I. Around 34 Mirage 5 attack fighters also underwent upgrades designated ROSE II and ROSE III before Project ROSE was completed. The Mirage III/5 ROSE fighters are expected to remain in service with the PAF until replacement in the mid-2010s.

MIRAGE M-5M "ELKAN" (Early) Chile Air Force
 
New Version
 
Install - Need DLC7 Mirage5BA.
 
The Elkan (name of the FACH for Mirage 5 Mirsip) were purchased secondhand from Belgium in 1994 for a total of $ 108 million. Replaced the Hawker Hunter Aviation Group No. 8 based in Antofagasta. During his service with the air force flew more than 14,000 hours over 12 years. The FACH at the time acquired 15 Mirage 5BA MIRSIP (called M-5MA Elkan by FACH), 5 Mirage 5BD MIRSIP (M-5BD Elkan) and 1 and 5 BD Mirage 5 Mirage 5BR reconnaissance without modifying the standard MIRSIP. Aircraft registrations received 701 to 725. At his low eight aircraft were operational, nine out of service and two rugged.

Mirage 5BR Belgian Air Force
 
Install - Need Update July 2012, DLC Mirage IIIO and DLC Mirage IIIBA
(Includes two versions)
 
The Dassault Mirage 5BR is the Belgian licence-built version of the 5R (reconnaissance) Mirage variant. The 5R is broadly similar to the older IIIR from which it is derived, and conversion of the aircraft to an attack reconnaissance role proved equally straightforward. One notable difference is the chisel nose, which contains cameras instead of radar. The optional twin cannon pack is usually carried, and other options for armed reconnaissance included a reflector sight and low altitude bombing system. Most of the aircraft in Belgian service were retired during the mid-1990s

Mirage IIIRS Swiss Air Force
 
Install - Need Update July 2012 and DLC Mirage IIIO
 
The Swiss Mirages are equipped with RWS, chaff & flare dispensers. Avionics differed as well, with the most prominent difference being that the Thomson-CSF Cyrano II radar was replaced by Hughes TARAN-18 system, giving the Mirage IIIS compatibility with the Hughes AIM-4 Falcon AAM. Also the Mirage IIIS had the wiring to carry a Swiss-built nuclear bomb or French nuclear bomb. The Swiss nuclear bomb was stopped in the preproduction stage and Switzerland did not purchase the French-made bomb. The Mirage IIIS had an integral fuel tank under the aft belly; this fuel tank could be removed and replaced with an adapter of the same shape. This adapter housed a SEPR rocket engine with its liquid fuel tanks. With the SEPR rocket, the Mirage IIIS easily reached altitudes of 20,000 m. The rocket fuel was very hazardous and highly toxic, so the SEPR rocket was not used very often. The Mirage IIIRS could also carry a photo-reconnaissance centerline pod and an integral fuel tank under the aft belly; this carried a smaller fuel load but allowed a back looking film camera to be added. In the early 1990s, the 30 surviving Swiss Mirage IIIS interceptors were put through an upgrade program, which included fitting them with fixed canards and updated avionics. The Mirage IIIS were phased out of service in 1999. The remaining Mirage IIIRS, BS and DS were taken out of service in 2003

Mirage IIIS Swiss Air Force
 
(two versions)
 
Install - Need Update July 2012 and DLC Mirage IIIO
 
In 1961, Switzerland bought a single Mirage IIIC from France. This Mirage IIIC was used as development aircraft. The Swiss Mirages were built in Switzerland by F+W Emmen (today RUAG ) (the federal government aircraft factory in Emmen) as the Mirage IIIS. Australia too, bought, one French-made in preparation for licensed production. Cost overruns during the Swiss production led to the so-called "Mirage affair". In all, 36 Mirage IIIS interceptors were built with strengthened wings, airframe, and undercarriage. The Swiss Air Force required performance comparable to those of carrier based planes; the airframes were reinforced so the aircraft could be moved by lifting them over other aircraft with a crane, as in the Aircraft cavern in the mountains that Swiss Air Force uses as bunkers, offer very little space to maneuver parked aircraft. Also, the strengthened frames allowed for JATO assisted takeoffs. The main differences to the standard Mirage III were as follows:
New wiring of avionics with U.S. electronics
Changed cockpit design with gray instead of black panels
New U.S. radar, TARAN-18 from Hughes
Use of HM-55S "Falcon" (Swiss designation of the from SAAB in Licence built Robot 27 (Rb27) which is similar to the Hughes AIM-26 "Falcon")
Radar warning receiver (RWR) on both wingtips and on the back of the rudder
Strengthened structure for use of JATO-Rockets
Retractable nosecone and lengthened nosewhlle leg for storing in underground air base
Four lifting points for moving aircraft in underground caverns with a crane
Bay at the fin with a SEPR rocket engine to double the velocity for short time or climb to 20 000 m (60 000 ft)
US TRACOR AN/ALE-40 chaff/flare dispenser at the back under the end of the engine (fitted with the upgrade 1988)
Canards designed and produced by RUAG Aerospace(fitted with the upgrade 1988)
New Martin-Baker ejection-seat (fitted with the upgrade 1988)

F-103 Mirage IIIEBR Brazilian Air Force
 
Version 2
 
Install - Need Update July 2012 and DLC Mirage IIIO
 
The F-103 Mirage IIIEBR represented a tremendous leap to the Brazilian Air Force, being over thirty years of service and more than 65,000 flying hours.
 
The versions of Mirage III acquired by FAB were developed primarily for air defense missions, but keep some capacity to act as platforms for ground attack.
 
The engine was a SNECMA ATAR 09C, whose maximum thrust with afterburning reached 13,900 pounds (6305 kg), leading the aircraft a maximum speed of Mach 2.2 (2,350 km / h).
 
The fire control system was based on radar Thomson-CSF Cyrano II, which originally operated the integrated air-to-air missile infrared Matra R530, later replaced by Israeli missile Python III.
 
As arms fixed, the aircraft was equipped with two 30 mm DEFA. For navigation, the Mirage III FAB type Doppler systems used. In the early '90s, the FAB joined the Squadron's missions Jaguar air-ground attack, starting to use free-fall bombs and rocket launchers.

O sistema de controle de fogo era baseado no radar Thomson-CSF Cyrano II, que originalmente operava integrado ao míssil ar-ar infra-vermelho Matra R530, depois substituído pelo míssil israelense Python III.
 
Como armamento fixo, a aeronave era dotada de dois canhões DEFA de 30 mm. Para navegação, os Mirage III da FAB utilizavam sistemas tipo Doppler. No inícios dos anos 90, a FAB incorporou ao Esquadrão Jaguar as missões de ataque ar-solo, passando a utilizar bombas de queda livre e lançadores de foguetes.

Upgrading the F-103
 
In 1989 all F-103s entered a limited upgrade program. The upgrade consisted of the installation of canards and some minor mechanical and structural modifications. In 1991/1992 one F-103E (FAB 4929) received a refuelling probe installation and on April 22, 1992, the aircraft made its first refuelling contact with a KC-130H of the 1º/1º GT. The modified F-103 flew until 1993 but was then retired and the program to install refuelling probes on all Mirage fleet was cancelled.(The number FAB-4928, FAB-4930 and FAB-4931 are fictitious!)

Em 1989, todos os F-103 entrou em um programa de atualização limitado. O melhoramento consiste na instalação de canards e algumas modificações mecânicas e estruturais menores. Em 1991/1992 um F-103E (FAB 4929), recebeu uma instalação de sonda de reabastecimento e, em 22 de abril de 1992, a aeronave fez o seu primeiro contato com um reabastecimento KC-130H do 1 º / 1 º GT. A modificação F-103 voaram até 1993, mas foi então aposentado e o programa para instalar sondas de reabastecimento em toda frota de Mirage foi cancelado.

I´ve started this template some months ago, then Stary teased me with a pit he was making, which eventually led me to complete the template.
 
The model as is, is the one of Pasko´s Old Yaks, it has some imperfections you will have to live with as i was unable to fix.
 
1 High res skin has been made on my part along with the numbers, but the real Star here was Stary, giving a whole new feel to the plane with the cockpit he made.
 
Also, must credit my good friend Daniel "Cocas" Liebaert, who let me use a MiG-17 seat we have for another soon to release project.
 
The rest, of the people who worked in this project, i will need to send me a PM so i can include them here.

The Yak-23 was developed as a simple lightweight jet fighter, on Yakovlev's own initiative.
It was a development of the earlier Yak-15 and Yak-17 fighters, retaining their non-conventional layout with a jet engine in the fuselage nose and exhaust under the cockpit, but the construction was all new.
Its wings were derived from the Yak-19.
The Yak-23 used a Soviet copy of the British Rolls-Royce Derwent V turbojet engine, produced as the Klimov RD-500. It first flew on July 8, 1947.
After successful flights, it underwent state trials in 1948 and was accepted for series production.
It was evaluated as highly maneuverable, with a good acceleration and take-off and climb capabilities thanks to high thrust-to-weight ratio.
Faults were poor directional stability at speeds around Mach 0.86 and lack of cockpit pressurization.
Despite being one of the best straight-wing jet fighters, it was inferior to new swept-wing designs.

(*) EXP 2 needed

This is an upgrade and major enhancement for the stock Third Wire A-4E, H, & F Ahits (Skyhawks). The standard TW Ahits have a few issues with their historical accuracy. This mod corrects those issues and even adds a few more aircraft to the Ahit family.
 
 
Instillation: As usual simply drop into your mods folder and allow it to override when prompted. (This is important as there are changes to some of the aircraft.ini files etc)
 
Strike Fighters 2 Israel plus either Strike Fighters 2 or Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam are required.
 
 
 
Changes include:
 
 
- The A-4H Ahit was not delivered with a downgraded engine. It had the same J52-P8A engine as the F model Skyhawk. Israel latter upgraded the engines of the H and F Ahits to the P-408A as used in the A-4M and N Skyhawks.
 
- The 30mm cannons fitted to the A-4H Ahit were fitted at a 2.5 degree downward angle due to the emphasis the IAF placed on strafing after the Six Day war. However in reality it was less than ideal as there was no change to the A-4 gun sight so aiming proved quite difficult until the introduction of the HUD in the Crystal upgrade.
 
- A-4E Ahit was delivered with the avionics hump of the F model Skyhawk. The hump was installed in US Navy service in anticipation of receiving ECM equipment but these aircraft were delivered to Israel instead. Because it was empty the hump was initially removed in Israeli service.
 
- The A-4E Ahit was also refitted with 30mm cannons. However due to the problems encountered with the angle of instillation in the H model Ahit they were installed at a 1.5 degree downward angle in the E models.
 
- US Emergency Aid Skyhawks: During the Yom Kippur war A-4E as well as A-4F Skyhawks were sent to Israel as replacements for IAF A-4 losses during the war. These A-4E Skyhawks had the same standard of avionics as the F models.
 
- Additional early textures added to the A-4H Ahits with the Star Of David on the rear fuselage and two digit aircraft numbers.
 
- Additional texture added with the US 'Stars and Bars' and US Navy numbers which the A-4H wore during test flights in the USA.
 
- Textures modified so there are no squadron colors on the rudder before 1976.
 
- Textures modified so aircraft numbers are not on both the nose and vertical stabilizer at the same time before 1976. Before then the aircraft number was on either the nose or the vertical stabilizer- not both. Where it was largely depended on which squadron operated the aircraft.
 
- The hump and corresponding avionics upgrade that appear on the A-4H Ahit (73) and A-4E Ahit (73) were known as the Crystal upgrade. This upgrade was designed to bring the Ahit fleet up to the standard of the A-4N Skyhawk/Ahit so this upgrade also included a basic heads up display with computerized weapons aiming. This upgrade would also be applied to the US Emergency Aid A-4E and F Ahits after end of the Yom Kippur war.
 
- The triangular antenna behind the normal UHF/VHF antenna on the hump of the A-4H/E Ahits (73) as well as one of the nose antennas did not appear on the aircraft till the mid 80's
 
- Loadouts: the stock Ahit loadouts are not unrealistic but they certainly aren't the most realistic. As such they have all been redone to include things such as the use of the Walleye in the anti-amour role by particular aircraft etc.
 
- Opening canopy.
 
- Landing light.
 
- Cockpit armor changed to the same as the A-4F which the A-4H is meant to based on.
 
- Yom Kippur and Lebanon War campaigns edited to include additional aircraft and weapons where appropriate.
 
 
 
The Ahits will now appear in the game as follows:
 
 
A-4E Ahit - Delivery of ex US Navy Skyhawks in 1971 fitted with an empty hump, no ECM and no chaff dispenser.
 
A-4E Ahit (72) - The empty hump is removed in Israeli service, the aircraft are also re-fitted with 30mm cannons at a 1.5 degree downward angle.
 
A-4E Ahit (73) US Emergency Aid - US Navy A-4E Skyhawks with avionics hump and standard USN avionics rushed to Israel during the Yom Kippur War to replace Ahit losses.
 
A-4E Ahit (73) Crystal Upgrade - A-4E Ahits upgraded under project Crystal with ECM, RHAW, countermeasure dispensers, updated weapons delivery system, updated navigation system and a HUD. An extended tailpipe is also fitted.
 
A-4F Ahit US Emergency Aid - US Navy A-4F Skyhawks with standard USN avionics rushed to Israel during the Yom Kippur War to replace Ahit losses.
 
A-4F Ahit (74) Crystal Upgrade - US Emergency Aid A-4F Ahits are upgraded to the same standard as the project Crystal A-4H Ahits with a HUD, updated weapons delivery system, updated navigation system, 30mm cannons, extended tailpipe and P-408A engine.
 
A-4H Ahit - Specific model Skyhawk for Israel based on the A-4F with deliveries starting in 1968. The A-4H had a downgraded weapons and avionics capability.
 
A-4H Ahit (70) - Aircraft are re-fitted with 30mm cannons at a 2.5 degree downward angle.
 
A-4H Ahit (72) - Israel begins replacing the J52-P8A engine with the more powerful J52-P-408A and restoring/ expanding the aircrafts weapon capabilities.
 
A-4H Ahit (73) Crystal Upgrade - A-4H Ahits are upgrade under project Crystal with ECM, RHAW, countermeasure dispensers, updated weapons delivery system, updated navigation system and a HUD. An extended tailpipe is also fitted.
 
A-4H Ahit (84) Crystal Upgrade - Additional external antenna on the avionics hump and nose of the aircraft are installed.

*** LA15 for Strike Fighters 2 ***
This is Pasko and Column5's Lavochkin LA-15 model. It has been updated to SF2 file structure based completely on
 
their work. I have also added two LA-15 skins I made for this plane, added a different loading screen while
 
keeping the original if you prefer, and have removed the shadow file and its callout since they are no longer
 
needed, shadows showup just fine without the files! The plane has very basic avionics with no radar but a ranging
 
gunsight. A userlist.ini have also been included. All the Ini's have been updated also to KillerBee's file setup
 
including changing them all to Unicode for smoother gameplay. I have also added the Kor-vpa pilot from X-rays'
 
Excellent World Pilots pack. The original WW2 soviet pilot is included if you wish. Xrays' readme for his pilot is
 
included. And finally, the droptank for this bird is included and working!

SF2 updates pcpilot
 
 
To install, Just simply open the zip file and copy paste into your SF2 mods folder. It flies well in-game but
 
is not a turn and burn fighter; the F-86 can outturn it. It bleeds speed quickly in a turn. Its acceleration is
 
very similar to the F-86 also...slow.
 
God bless, pcpilot
