SF2 F-104C Vietnam Pack
By Viper63a
 
------------------------------------------------------------------
BOTH SF2E AND DLC28 ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS MOD!
------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This pack WILL NOT replace stock F-104s, but it may conflict with any other F-104 mod you may have installed - SO BACK UP unless you crave drama! SF2 Europe needs to be merged with your Vietnam install and DLc28 is REQUIRED, REALLY. If you don't have these, this mod will not work for you.
 
------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This pack contains a small sub-set of the "SF2 C/N/R/F-104A/B/C/D/F/G/J/S Starfighter Super Pack" (see link below). Separated it for users who did not want to install the full F-104 Super Pack just to get the Vietnam era F-104s. You don't need the full pack to use this Vietnam Pack.

I take NO CREDIT for the work contained in this pack. I made some of them better (All new skins, decals...etc), but I was not the creator. I don't do what I do NOT to take credit, but to give it and appreciate the other contributors who make Combatace a great site for SF2. So here is my humble contribution to the collective. Thank you all for your mod packs!
 
------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This pack includes F-104D (circa 1965) Vietnam era skins, new pilots, hanger, loading, loadout, decals and everything else you need to start flying the F-104s for Vietnam...
 
F-104C_65
 
------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
------------------------------------------------------------
 
As always, I recommend that you back up your mod folder before you install any new mod...just in case.
 
* To install, simply unzip and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite (if needed).
 
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...

F-4E AUP pack
 
Includet:
- F-4E_AUP
- new cockpit
- HAF specific weapons
- update for all greek F-4E mady by me and all greek F-16 from Team Viper , with this updates this aircraft can use the new HAF specific weapons
- optional Cockpit lod with removed air refueling lights
 
Animation / Function
- Canopy
- Hook
- Air Refuel
- Gun Vent ______________ automatic when gun is fired or as soon as the landing gear is deployed
- Brake Chute____________ works with the Air Brake below 150kts
 
Hangar and Loading screens are in 1920 x 1080
 
Installation:
- IF YOU HAVE A F-4E_AUP FOLDER PLEASE RENAME OR REMOVE IT BEFOR YOU INSTALL THIS MOD
- Drop all files into your mod folder the way they are setup in this pack and overwrite if ask to
- If you are unsure about the way how mods are installed, check the knowledge base at CombatAce !
 
NOTE
i added the OPTION folder with the optional cockpit lod and removed air refueling lights because i use this lights in the standart cockpit as indicators for the drop tanks ( full - on , emty - off )
if you like the cockpit more " realistic " just overwrite the cockpit lod with the optional one
 
the HAF specific weapons are made based on the official weapons list from the Greek Air Force , weapons missing are the GBU-50 and AGM-154 they will be released on a later point in time
in the weapons pack you will not find any ECM-pods , the reason for that is simply that there is no evidence that the HAF is using any ECM-pods on the F-4E or F-16 except the build in DIAS system
if one day the HAF is using any type of ECM-pod i will add them to the pack

This is a conversion/repainting/repackaging of Pasko & Column5’s F-106A to the newest SF2 standards. It was tested with SF2NA July2013 release, hard settings.
It contains 8 skins, the weapons and the relative effects:
 
5th FIS late 70ies
27th FIS early 60ies
49th FIS early 80ies
84th FIS early 60ies
87th FIS late 70ies
94th FIS 1969 Korea Deployment
95th FIS early 60ies
318th FIS late 70ies
 
AIM-4F Falcon SAHM
AIM-4G Falcon IRM
AIR-2A Genie AHM
Vulcan M61A1 Gun Pod
360Gal external Fuel Tanks
 
Aerial Nuke Effect
 
The skins are basically Sundowner’s HiRes textures with small improvements. Brand new decals and serial numbers are my own work, except few patch decals, which are still Dave’s ones. Serial numbers correspond to real life, in accordance to Photo material and the Delta Dart Archive:
 
http://www.f-106deltadart.com/units.htm
 
FM is based on eburger68’s file included in OP Tainted Cigar, still heavily reworked and improved by me to suit the latest game engine. Cruise speed, manoeuvrability and energy bleeding seems to me now very much spot on.
The Weapons’s Data files are also revised: don’t pretend to hit anything manoeuvering with the AIM-4G... these are only supposed to hit straight flying Bombers or Black Bandits (landing or low on fuel non-fighting MiGs). The AIM-4F has better chances to hit an enemy fighter. The fuzing distance on both is set to 0.1m... I know the Falcons had no proximity fuse at all, but as the impact sensors were placed on the wings, about 10cm far form the (0,0) axis, it seemed to me a very good compromise.
The AIR-2 rocket is set as Active Radar Homing with very high counter measure and noise rejection. The war head is something bigger than the real 1.5kton. These alterations make the AIR-2 work as it is supposed to. Be sure to put the steering point straight in the middle before firing, as this weapon is supped to be a rocket and won’t turn that much.
One important advice: if you edit this weapon with TW’s Weapons Editor, once you save your changes the program will delete the entire [AerialNukeEffect] section in your data file! So please don’t forget to back up.
Aerial Nuke Effect is Lexx Luthor’s work, as far as I remember...
Keep in mind that the Weapon Station in the Data.ini are marked with Specific Station Codes “AIM4” and “AIR2”, just in case you are trying to use weapons from other Weapon Packs.
The external fuel tanks are set to be jettison type, as people with real life experience on the ‘Six’ says that even though they never were jettisoned in OP because of their good performance, still it was indeed every time possible.

Known Issues:
- The 3D model has not enjoyed any rework, so you will still see the known problems as:
- Shadow issue on the leading edge of both wings (wrong normals)
- Unsmoothed Canopy
- Lack of Bump Map
- Lack of Specular Map
- The Weapon Bay shows the animation only when firing from the rear Falcon Station (i.e. AIM-4G) because of a limitation of the game engine, as you can’t assign the same animation to different Weapon Stations...
 
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and still do!
