Cold War Era Aircraft

S.E. Mistal
 
After assembling 67 Vampire FB Mk 5 (see our skin pack) single-seat fighters from British-supplied components and licence-building a further 120 aircraft in their entirety,
the Societe Nationale de Constructions Aeronautiques de Sud-Est (SNCASE) began production of a more powerful version of the basic aircraft.
Assigned the designation Vampire Mk 53 by the parent company and given the appellation of SE 530 by Sud-Est, this was developed at the behest of the Armee de l'Air.
It utilised the basic Mk 5 airframe mated with the 2270kg Hispano-built Nene 102,
the wing root intakes being enlarged and the split-trunk intake of the Hawker P.1040 being adapted to provide the extra air demanded for the rear face of the Nene's double-sided impeller.
Fuel tankage was increased, cabin pressurisation introduced and the pilot was provided with an SNCASO ejection seat.
A pre-series of four aircraft was built, the first of these flying on 1 April 1951.
Baptised Mistral, the type entered series production in SE 532 form, the first flying in December 1951 and 97 being built.
These were followed by 150 examples of the SE 535, the last of which was delivered on 25 March 1954.
The SE 535 was powered by the Nene 104 with similar rating to the Nene 102B of the SE 532, and, in addition to its four 20mm HS 404 cannon,
could carry eight T-10 or HVAR rockets, or two 450kg bombs.
The Mistral entered Armee dl'Air service in 1952 and was finally withdrawn in 1961.

Paulopanz

what started out as a flightmodel tweak soon took on a life of its own and
 
became a lot more
 
basically what we have here is changes in the flight model so the Seahawk FB3/FGA4/FGA6 aircraft
 
handling is a lot closer to whats described in the aircrew manual part 3
 
(handling) and while we had the book open part 6 (operating data) and one
 
thing led to another and you have the result before you
 
i have adjusted the load out to be "realistic" and as in the manual so they
 
respect the wieght limits, you can maually oveload if you wish but if you
 
wish to fly "realistically" take fuel out to compensate for the extra
 
wieght
 
with a full load of rockets and fuel tanks...you cant partially fill them
 
so if you drop your internal fuel to 75% the wieghts (and fuel) you will be
 
right.
 
the bomb/fuel pylons should be jettionable but i dont know the code for
 
this yet so your aircraft state is pre-mod N.247 so you cant, so you keep the
 
pylons on jettison for now
 
others major changes are the FB3 has no rockets
 
the FGA4/6 rockets and load out now work correctly though visually the
 
inner pair will appear too far inboard...this is a visual model thing and i
 
may revisit this later to see if i can move them...unless someone beats me
 
to it, hint hint
 
thier are signifcant changes to the handling but the most usefull advice i
 
will give is 110kts clean in landing config on the approach to put here on
 
the carrier deck..heck even the AI can land it...
 
last but not least the hunter cockpit is used instead of the meteor cockpit
 
you must have the SUEZ mod installed or at least the SEAhawks with thier
 
default names from it
 
Simply drop the objects folder into your Mods folder in my documents or
 
wherever you put your strikefighter mods (SF2merged+exp1 for suez)
 
and hopefully the relevent update files will install in the right place
 
otherwise just go to the update folder, remove the 3 files for each aircraft you need and
 
manually place them
 
as always back your files up FIRST before applying..if you dont like what i
 
have done you can then revert
 
as always credit goes to the original creators of the SEAhawk, all i have
 
done is alter some files...an update of the seahawk if you will

This is the kit to convert in SF-2 Spillone104's great work.
 
For Ace888, Carlo & Kevin who asked for.
 
This is NOT a complete plane.
 
You will need original mod here: http://combatace.com/files/file/11113-f-104j/
 
 
And F-104G cockpit folder plus F-104G_COCKPIT.in extracted from SF-1/WoE or following Kevin's hints here: http://combatace.com/topic/57393-flyable-f-104s-for-sf2/page__pid__426204#entry426204
 
 
Some easy work:
 
 
1. extract my upgrade pack
 
2. extract Spillo's original mod, in aircraft/F-104J folder copy ALL skins folders
 
3. paste ALL skin folders in my upgrade pack aircraft/F-104J folder
 
4. take from SF-1/WoE F-104G F-104G cockpit folder and F-104G_COCKPIT.in and paste in my upgrade pack aircraft/F-104J folder, too
 
5. that's all folks
 
 
I added only a SF-2 F-104_Loadout.tga, made by myself.

Readme for the Northrop 2 seater aircraft.
 
********************************* Version 2.0 Release ********************************
 
This release combines all previous Northrop 2 seaters into one package and updates them to Jun 2010 standards. Only aircraft not included is T-38C due to lack of a suitable cockpit. Several enhancements to all aircraft have been added, including available bump mapping, new F-5A cockpit enhancements, various other tweaks and fixes.
 
 
Thanks to the following folks:
 
331KillerBee - For the skins, additional information and hanger/loadout/loading screens, SF2 weapons pack.
ChampionsVA56 - For his early T-38A paint scheme.
Deigo - For his very nice MODusaf pilot skin!
EricJ - Textures, loading screens, readme construction.
JAT81500 - For most of the avionics work on which the Saeqeh avionics are based.
JSF_Aggie - Range addition for the NATIONS.INI.
Jug - Flight evaluation and assistance.
Lexx_Luthor - For the Airshow Smoke effect for the Thunderbird T-38A (borrowed from his missile exhaust effects).
PappyChkSix - For the original skins, which unfortunately were lost when the models were remapped.
Soulfreak - Reference materials.
Sundowner - Tips, advice and help.
The Mirage Factory - For allowing me to use the cockpit, effects, damage textures and sounds from the F-5A and F-5E FM based off of Mirage Factory F-5A and F-5E.
TK - For the ThirdWire series of sims.
USAFMTL - For beta testing and advice.
Vampyre - Technical assistance.
Wrench - Reference materials.
 
To my fellow Combatace moderators - For helping me beta test and work out bugs.
Any errors or mistakes are entirely mine.
 
 
What you will need first:
 
Strike Fighters 2/Vietnam/Europe/Israel patched to Jun 2010 standards. This is not for Generation 1 ThirdWire sims.
 
Optional:
JSF_Aggie's SF2 Series Range Terrain for the AT-38B single missions. http://combatace.com/files/file/11067-sf2-series-range/
 
 
What is in this archive:
 
1. This readme (duh!) and the Readme folder.
 
2. Effects, Objects, Sounds, Flight folder.
 
3. Alternate Hanger/Loading screens in the F-5B Vietnam Hanger Screens folder.
 
4. AT-38B missions in the Missions folder.
 
 
Instructions:
 
1. Read and understand this entire readme FIRST!
 
2. Copy the Effects, Objects, Missions, and Sounds folders to your SF2/V/E/I mod directory. Allow directory merging and overwrites (anything overwritten either belongs to me, is part of the SF2 Weapons Pack or is the exact same as the Mirage Factory F-5 effects and sounds).
 
3. Optional step: Copy the 2 files located in the F-5B Vietnam Hanger Screens directory to your mods/Objects/Aircraft/F-5B directory and overwrite.
 
4. Optional step: Copy the Flight folder to your SF2/V/E/I mod directory. Contains a NATIONS.INI file that changes Iran from Friendly to Enemy and adds the Range nation. If you have a modded NATIONS.INI already, you may want to insert the proper entry by hand. You will NOT need the Range NATIONS.INI.
 
5. Optional step: Download and install the SF2 Series Range.
 
6. That's it! You should see the aircraft in your selection screen.
 
 
Aircraft Information:
 
Consult the various readmes included here for specific variant information.
 
 
Notes and Limitations:
 
This uses the 'Open Cockpit' method to place the cockpit model 'inside' the external model. This also allows the ability to add flight controls to the cockpit, which originally didn't have them modeled for the F-5F. Downsides are the that during inclement weather, it will appear 'foggy' inside the cockpit.
 
Capable of being flown from either seat through editing of the main aircraft ini file. Simply uncomment the lines that have the seat you want to fly in, and comment out the lines with the seats you don't want to fly in. The default is the front seat.
 
The gunsight is new and part of the aircraft. You will not have a gunsight if you fly without a cockpit. Also, the gunsight has an ability not normally available to ThirdWire aircraft...use your thrust vectoring control to activate it (make sure your thrust vectoring control is in the neutral position before you start the mission).
 
The FM is reasonably 'close' to the real thing...but defaults to being 'fun' vs being 'perfect numbers'. It gives a reasonable impression on how the aircraft actually flies...but don't expect to hit all the 'numbers' perfectly.
 
This is FREEWARE only, NO money is allowed to be made on the contents of these files, in whole or in part. Released IAW the freeware accords at CombatAce.

F-84F ThirdWire SF2 Tweaks and Bits 06-04-10
 
 
Credits:
F-86F Cockpit by Zurawski
Early 1960's French Pilot by Corktip 14, based on Diego's USAF Korean War pilot.
Martin Baker Mk3 Ejection Seat by ravenclaw_007
F-84f Hangar Screen from the Mirage Factory F-84F Package
F-84F Loadout tga by Paulopanz
F-84F Data.INI tweaks and F-84F Loading Screens by NeverEnough
 
The Thirdwire F-84F model is very nicely done for an AI only model, and can be easily finished into a real fine ride.
The latest version included in the SF2 Expansion Pack did not have the flap deploy and retract settings in the Data.ini, so these have been
added in this tweaked Data.ini. The taillight was located about six feet behind the aircraft, and the navigation lights on each side of the tail
are modeled but have no entries in the stock Data.ini. The tailight location was corrected and the tail navigation lights are added in the included
Data.ini. The front landing light has also been added, and SHIFT 0 will open and close the cockpit canopy.
 
The early 1960's French pilot is a nice addition, and he looks great sitting in ravenclaw_007's beautiful new Martin Baker Mk3 ejection seat.
The new loading screen is a French F-84F with Suez campaign stripes, which looks especially fitting when used with Paulopanz's Suez SuperPack skins!
An alternate loading screen of a beautifully restored Italian F-84F is also included for a SF2E installation.
Give this kite a test drive, and discover what a treat it is. Be sure to include Paulopanz's Suez skins, and you will be looking good.

Installation notes:
 
Simply copy the contents of the included Objects folder into your Mods\StrikeFighters2 Israel, Mods\StrikeFighters2 Exp1, or Mods\StrikeFighters2 Europe folder.

Greek F-4E AUP for SF2 series.
 
Tested with Dec2009 combo pack patched to Feb2010.
 
New model, new details.
 
Uses the F-4EJ Kai pit. [included].
 
 
Thanks to;
Oli [bPAo, RIP my friend ]

Sundowner May 2010.

This is a pack of 2 additional aircraft for the SF2 series......The RF-4E as originally supplied to Greece with slatted wings and the RF-4EJ as used by the JASDF.
Both are made from BPAo's original RF-4 model which he and myself were working on before his tragic death last year.
There is no way that I could finish these models to Oli's standards but I've done the best that I can, thanks must go to Crab_02 for letting me use his intakes & other details & for all his help and advice.

This is a simple mod of the excellent Third Wire Hunter to give a flyable F.6 with markings for No.66, No.74, and No.247 squadrons of RAF Middle East Command based in Dhimar during the late 1950's and early 1960's. Whilst all three squadrons did actually operate the Hunter F.6 the markings are slightly 'generic' and the serial numbers are from the batch of cancelled F.6's.

This is a simple mod of the excellent Third Wire Hunter to give a flyable F.4 with markings for No.14, No.54, and No.247 squadrons of RAF Middle East Command based in Dhimar during the late 1950's. Whilst all three squadrons did actually operate the Hunter F.4 the markings are slightly 'generic' and the serial numbers are actually from a batch of cancelled Venoms from that era.

This is a simple mod of the excellent Third Wire Hunter to give a flyable F.5 with markings for No.34 and No.56 squadrons of RAF Middle East Command based in Dhimar during the mid to late 1950's.
 
Whilst both squadrons did actually operate the Hunter F.5 the markings for No.56 squadron are slightly 'generic' but the serial numbers are genuine enough. Two extra No.34 decals are included (34Patch and 34RoundelBars) if you prefer that squadron to have the same look as No.56 squadron and/or for you to use elsewhere.

LIM-6P
 
As Lim-5P (Mig-17PF licence built) fighters became obsolete, from 1971 they were also rebuilt to Lim-6bis standard, designated Lim-6M.
Their radars were removed, but there remained radar covers in central air intake. They were fitted with additional underwing pylons, but not with a braking parachute.

Feb 2010 Patch
 
Credits:
Column5 for the FM
Spillone104 for the J57 sound
NGHENGO, bobrock, Canadair, triplethr3at as test team
Dave and Jimmybib for decals and skins and various support.
 
Again a special thanks to Dave who strongly wanted this airplane to which initially I was not so interested. I hope I did forget no one.
This version has tanks built in; with the tank skins in the right aircraft skin folder . 3D models and Skins are from mppd.
This should also fix the shadow issues. Also fixes some weps position issues.
 
To install just put into your SF2 saved games/thirdwire/StrikeFighters2 and let it overwrite folders as needed.
 
The Med res textures are for people with low end machines.
 
In the F-101A/C folders is a folder call 3 gun version and that is for anyone who wants to use the version that was used in Europe that had the a gun removed and replaced with TACAN equipment.

Mirage Factory F-4K/M RN/RAF for the SF2 series.
 
First and foremost lets just spend a moment remembering who made these things possible.........Olivier ANGUILLE (BPAo)....rip my friend.
 
Ok this is pack 3 of 3, it comprises new aircraft models and skins but you still need pack 1 installed to get the decals,sounds etc, but it does use the stock F-4M cockpits so you will need SF2 Europe installed, I have the combo pack so they've only been tested on that...patched to Feb 2010.
 
Installation instructions are in the readme, its there for your benifit not mine so be sure to read it.
 
Many thanks.
 
Sundowner.
