MiG-9 "Fargo" -Update Pak for SF2 (all, merged or not)


 
This is a "minor" rebuild of the flight model for this 1st Generation Soviet Jet fighter by Timmy. It borrows heavliy from other work; I've just tried to combine and adjust to get it a little better (it's like around 110% better than it was!)
 
Everything has been tweeked to SF2 standards; folderized decals for the PLAAF skins, use of stock in-game decals for Soviet Borts (and some other decal tweeks), the 260gallon/900 liter drop tanks, my semi-craptastic "PilotER" (we really do need a new early soviet jet pilot figure!) and the 'migengine' sound borrowed from TMF's MiG-21F, a new SF2-style hangar screen, and cockpit (modded from Kesselbruts Spitfire pit, called "1JetCockpit", that while not perfect, works pretty damn good). Instruments are still in English characters, but have been converted to metric readings in the cockpit ini.
 
This is a complete aircraft, ready to unzip and fly away. While the flight modeling is VASTLY improved, it could still use a little fine-tuning. I welcome compentent modders to take this one, and bring it all the way home.
 
As always full, detailed install instruction are included in the pack, so READ them!!
 
Happy Landings!

F-4N Phantom II for Strike Fighters 2 series.
23 Oct 2010
 
This is a continued update of the original F-4N Phantom II released by Column5 and Dave (ex-USAFMTL) way back in 2003. Thanks gents.
 
Additional thanks goes to Wrench. He released an update pack for this jet, in Jan '09. That got the ball rolling for this latest version. Thank you Sundowner for your awesome skins and Spillone for the excellent J79 sounds.
 
I went through the data, avionics and cockpit.ini files and upgraded the F-4B_67 to N standards in a similiar fashion as Project Bee Line (see below). Additionally, the loadout.ini was tweaked to properly match a USN configuration.
 
In 1972, 228 F-4Bs were converted into F-4Ns to bring the B-model up to a similiar to the F-4J and increase their combat capabilty. This project was named "Bee Line". Work was conducted at Naval Air Station North Island. The aircraft received slatted stabs, a new ECM suite (AN/ALQ-126B) plus avionics systems upgrades. The N-model entered fleet use in 1973 and remained in service with the Navy and Marine Corps until 1985. A handful remained post-1985, with the Reserves and test units. Those were eventually converted into QF-4Ns drones.
 
To install simply allow the extractor to place everything in the main SF2 folder. I've added the VF-111 pilots from Wrench, two of Sundowners skins (slightly edited for the N) and new J79 engine sound files from Spillone. Last time I checked, all had ok'd the use of their work for non-profit use. If I'm wrong, please contact me and I'll eliminate the files.
 
The canopy open/close is linked to the "0" key.

A full historical read-me with installation instructions provided.
 
IMPORTANT: You will already need to have the Thirdwire Series 1 (SF1,WOV,etc) A-4B Skyhawk installed. This mod (like Suhsjake's A-4A) uses the 3D files from this A-4B.

This is an upgrade of the Mirage Factory Mirage IIIE.
 
Original skins have been reworked and new ones have been created, following squadrons are included :
 
EC 1/2 Cigognes (camo)
EC 3/2 Alsace (camo)
EC 1/3 Navarre (camo)
EC 2/3 Champagne (camo)
EC 3/3 Ardennes (camo)

Mirage IIIC
 
This mod represents the 4 escadres de chasse (fighter wings) that ever flew Mirage IIIC :
 
La 2ème Escadre de Chasse based at Dijon
La 5ème Escadre de Chasse based at Orange
La 10ème Escadre de Chasse based at Creil
La 13ème Escadre de Chasse based at Colmar
 
I also added 3/10 squadron based at Djibouti.
 
IMPORTANT : This mod has been developed for SF2 Europe and SF2 Israël in "merged" version, no .lod file are provided.
Those are high resolution skins (2048x2048), if your computer can't handle them I suggest you resize them to 1024*1024 or even 512*512, only thing is you will loose some details, but they will work fine
 
Installation :
 
1- make a backup of the "Mirage3C" folder.
2- Uncompress this file in a temporary folder.
3- copy the "Objects" folder in your addons (mods) folder.
 
Credits :
 
TK for his game and the Mirage IIICJ which is the base of this mod.
PGC for some decals.
