Cold War Era Aircraft

Hi, this is an adaptation from Pasko`s Yak-25B, i just put things together and made it to work in SF2 standard, almost everything has been made to put it in the respective mod folders, if you are prompted to overwrite, please do so, the only part you need to work with, goes to the Soundlist.ini which you need to extract and place it in the flight folder, and add the following lines:
 
SoundFileXXX=NS23................ XXX standing as the next number in the sounds sequence.
 
[NS23]
Priority=NORMAL
Looped=TRUE
NumBuffers=4
3DSound=TRUE
DopplerEffect=FALSE
MaxDist=1000.000000
MinDist=50.000000
InsideConeAngle=360
OutsideConeAngle=360
ConeOutsideVolume=0..............this goes at the very bottom
of the sounds list.
 
***** VERY IMPORTANT NOTE PLEASE PAY ATTENTION *****
 
The cockpit for this mod DOES NOT contain a LOD file since it uses the F-4B_COCKPIT.LOD file in the 1st gen of strike fighters, but u can easily extract it and add it to the cockpit folder in the Yak-25 main folder.
 
This mod is uploaded using the Freeware Licensing Terms by the Forum, but i want to thank to the following individuals:
 
-Pasko, Column5 and Volksjager for an outstanding aircraft model.
-Wrench, for the Russian pilot, very suitable for this plane!
-331Killerbee for his Weapons pack
 
If i forget someone here, pelase let me know and i will credit you, my apologies in advance.
 
I hope you enjoy this mod and if you have any questions, don´t doubt to ask me here in the forum, or via PM.

This is just a set of skins I've had lying around for ages now, they're set up as stand alone planes because they use slightly different bump maps than those supplied by TK, otherwise everything else is the same as stock.
 
You can add the skins to the stock aircraft folders if you dont want any more planes in your menue and dont mind some details not lining up correctly in certain light conditions.

JASDF Mitsubishi T-2 Trainer For SF2
For SF2 (may require SF2E or I for some of the HUD bits)
 
As stated above, due to the use of pointers to the F-15A HUD markers, this may best be used in a Full-4 Merged install, or at the very least, those with SF2:E.
 
This is a mods package of Veltro2K's JASDF advanced trainer, to bring it into SF2. This is the complete aircrft package, containing everything needed to unzip and install. Most of the mods are to the various inis, and new serial number decals. Otherwise, it is the complete pack as Veltro released it (just slightly tweekificated).
 
The data ini has also had some minor mods; mostly in engine thrust, weight, etc. The FM is not perfect, but it handles just fine for me on Normal flight mode. A userlist is supplied, even though these are Japanese-only aircarft; not built for export. Weither that makes a difference for not, don't know! But, it IS locked into a 'nationalized' usage. Also, my first attempt at a DDS damage texture -- please don't laugh too hard at it <grin>!! A new SF2-style hangar screen is also included.
 
Loadouts have been adjusted, leaning slightly more for the attack/strike role than the Real Life ™ aircraft. In this respect, its more like the fighter-trainer version (FT-2B??) than the pure trainer. Most of the weapons used are stock in-game items, although one or 2 used (in particular the JM117-GSC1 EO bomb) are availble in the Mistubishi F-1 upgrade, to be found at the following url:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/11175-jasdf-mitsubishi-f-1-for-sf2/
 
(however, this weapon is only avaliable after 1977; before that you'll get standard US EOGBs)
 
All serial number decals ARE the actual ones as used; The info sheet in the Burindo book is/was a little vague and as I can't read Japanese... As is what I believe to be the 4 Hikotai tail badge; although it does look good!
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, highly detailed, step-by-step install instructions. This package is set up for a 'drag and drop' style of installation -- everything has been divided into the proper folder format that SF2 needs/wants/requires. Of course, the usual "Notes" section for other important stuff; might want to read it, eh?
 
Happy Landings!

MDD F-4K Phantom (FG.1) Royal Navy/Royal Air Force
 
-- For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Prefered) and/or SF2:E ONLY!!! --
 
As stated above, you =MUST= have either a Full-4 Merged install, or at the VERY LEAST SF2:E to make use of this mod package, as it references all stock items for the aircraft and cockpit that are =ONLY= found in SF2E or Full4 Merged game installs; is uses the F-4M lods for the aircraft and cockpit, as well as the various other inis. Some, however, ARE supplied, as I made adjustments and so forth.
 
This package represents F-4K/FG.1 Phantoms of the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, and later as serving in the RAF
 
Skins and decals in the pak are for:
 
767 Squadron, FAA (?Land based in UK and The Continent?)*
892 Squadron, FAA (aboard HMS Ark Royal)*
"Generic" RAF Camo (stock skin; uses stock decals for 19 Squadron)
111 Squadron RAF (Barley Gray)**
 
*Skins and decals were created by Sundowner some years ago
 
**maybe non-historical; it's possible that 111 used FG.1s upgraded to FG.2, with addition of the RWR 'box' on fin. But the skin is too nice to let go!
 
All weapons used are stock in-game items. Minor data ini edits allow for carrier useage, and a maunaly operated canopy. Use Shift/0 to open and close. A new artwork loading screen is also included.
Remember: this is the early model, withOUT the ECM/RWR fairings on the tail, and no RWR of any kind!! So watch you be-hinds!!
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install.
 
Catch a 3 Wire!

Lockheed QF-104A Starfighter for Strike Fighters 2
 
The QF-104A was a special modified version of the (Y)F-104A Star-fighter which could be flown remotely controlled. The control was done by F-104 pilots on the ground or inside another aircraft.
The conversion of the (Y)F-104A to QF-104A was approved on 19 Februar 1960 by the USAF. Testing of the QF was conducted during the period of 9 Januar 1961 to 16 October 1961.
The reason for converting the (Y)F-104A was the need for high altitude, high mach targets for the development of ground-to-air (BOMARC) and air-to-air (AIM7 - AIM9 - GAR2B - MB1 - AIM4) missiles.
At the end of the summer in 1972 the QF-104 drone program had come to an end and the F-104D's were handed over to the Puerto Rice ANG which could use them very well. All of the personnel that were in the QF-104 program were reassigned to other duties and bases.
In total 24 QF-104's have been used by the USAF. Twenthy of them were actually killed as targets and 1 crashed while flying a manned mission. The pilot ejected safely.
What has happened to the other 3 aircraft is not known but it is very likely that they have been withdrawn from use.
In total the drone-flight has accomplished 162 unmanned missions. Most of the QF mission were flown at Eglin AFB. However, some were flown at Holloman AFB (NewMexico) and a small number at Point Mugu NAS in California (for the US NAVY).
 
The QF-104A were of course different from the normal 104’s.
The most important modifications/changes included (in reality there are a lot more...) :
 
1 - The QF-104A received anti-skid brakes.
2 - A smoke-generator was applied (JP-4 pumped into the exhaust).
3 - Remote control system to fly the aircraft unmanned.
4 - A dayglow paintscheme was applied. It was an “eyecatcher”.
Originally the aircraft serial numbers were painted white. This was unsatisfactory as they were not highly visible against the dayglow. For that reason they were changed to black lateron.
5 - A special system which is able to make in flight air-starts remotely. In fact several were successfully made over the years.
6 - Due to the high-rate of stall problems with the GE J79 3A engines the QF was repowered by the 3B version of this engine. This solved the stall-problems.
7 - A self-destruction device was mounted on the QF for emergency reasons. This device was remotely controlled
8 - A changed cockpit layout to support all typical QF-104 systems.
9 - Additional gun-bay and case storage fuel tanks.
10 - Optical (5) camera scoring system. Three camera’s were located in the nose radome and 2 could be found inside the left external fueltank.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Pilot Notes:
 
The default nation for this plane is USAF "friendly plane".
Inside the QF-104A there is a folder named "For Mescalero Proving Grounds", if you want to use this aircraft with that mod simply replace the data.ini file. Now it will be a "red" target. :'(

SF2 HAF F-4E_SRA
 
Short History:
 
During Operation Desert Storm in 1991, Greece played a secondary role with its Hellenic Navy Kortenaer Frigate 'Elli'.
As a gesture of gratitude, the Bush Administration supplied the HAF with, among other equipment, a further 28 refurbished and upgraded F-4Es, Which came from the Indiana ANG's 113th and 163rd Tactical Figher Wings.
The ex-ANG models, knows as South Eastern Regional Amendament (SRA) among the Greek crews, were aging but extremely capable aircrafts.
All the F-4E_SRA were passed to 338 Squadron, which expanded its air-to-ground role.
During the HAF Peace Icarus 2000 program, all the F-4E_SRA from the 338 squadron were transferred to the 337 squadron.
In 2004 with the defence budget cuts, a number of fighters were withdrawn - including the 26 remaining F-4E_SRA Phantoms.
The last flight of the 337 squadron's SRA Phantom took place on May 29, 2006 when squadron commander Lt Col. Theodoros Syrmos deliverd his aircraft to Mikra Internation Airport, Thessaloniki for storage.
 
This is for SF2 merged install.

MDD F-4D Phantom II, 110th TFS, 11th TFW, Republic of Korea Air Force, Taegu, from beginning 1969
 
After some hard negotiating during 1968, ROKAF was given 18 F-4D aircraft in return for agreeing to transfer 36 on-loan F-5A/B aircraft (which ROKAF did not greatly appreciate in any case) to RVNAF. These aircraft were used by 110 Tactical Fighter Squadron, and supplemented by further deliveries over the years, remained in service with 110 and 151 TFS, 11th TFW until 2010. They retained their SEA camouflage at least into the 1980s.
 
Serial numbers were simply based on the USAF serials, with the initial '6' removed - so the first aircraft delivered, USAF 64-0931, became ROKAF 40-931 and so forth.
 
To the best of my knowledge, they did not participate in the Vietnam War, although given the Republic of Korea's considerable contribution to supporting South Vietnam, it is a reasonable what-if...

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

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.

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).

SF2 F-8J_FN (Aeronavale)
 
Require SF2 merged install...
 
Aircraft is base on Thirdwire F-8J_69.
 
Copy and paste the content to the appropriate folders.
 
 
The content contain the following squadrons:
 
EPNER (French Test Pilot School)
11F Flotille
12F Flotille (Three special schemes)
14F Flotille (Two schemes)
15F Flotille
16F Flotille
17F Flotille
 
Under the French Navy, only 11F and 12F Flotille flew the Crusaders.
 
The skin colors are Blue/ Medium Grey/ Grey and USN Grey.
 
 
It is my hope that someone or the MF Team would make a F-8P_FN, as this was the latest version to fly under the Aeronavale.
 
I have made extensive tweak on the .INI, Avionics (HUD), Data, and Loadout. I also try to make the aircraft as authentic as possible.
 
Due to the .LOD of the F-8J, there is only the twin pylon rack on the fuselage, if you choose the single weapon option, you will see the missile mounted on the twin rack pylon. The looks is not too bad (you would not see it if you select a larger missile type such as the R-530), if it bothers you, you can edit the .Data and delete this option.

****F-104S (79)****
 
You have downloaded my version of Aeritalia's F-104S, the final and most definitive version of the Zipper. This particular version
is a bit curious because when the Italians placed the demand that it be able to engage in the BVR fight with license-built Raytheon
Sparrow III missile, it required them to add avionics that hadn't originally been intended to be used in the Starfighter.
 
This forced the engineers at Aeritalia to remove the 20mm M61A1 cannon to make room.
 
There is one skin and markings for four units:
 
23° Stormo/5° Gruppo 'Veltro'
 
21° Stormo/53° Gruppo 'Tigres'
 
102° Stormo/5° Gruppo
 
155° Stormo/50° Gruppo 'Pantere Nere'

****Royal Navy F-4K (75)****
 
You have downloaded my version of the Royal Navy's pride of the fleet, the F-4K. It uses the ThirdWire F-4M model, so it's essentially just a repaint and some semi-fancy .ini editing.
 
There are two skins, and markings for only one unit, No 892 Squadron. The first skin is what I thought the original aircraft looked like. The second skin is a total 'what-if'. What if the Royal Navy had never gotten rid of its big-deck carrier capability? What if they had upgraded the old Ark Royal and improved and updated the F-4K for modern carrier operations? The second skin is a low-viz grey with subdued markings. I really kind of like it, even if I'm the only one.
