      ANIMATION 9 - front right door
       
      ANIMATION 10 - rear door.
       
      ANIMATION 4 - floaters. (only if loaded)
       
      Like in previously realased Cayuse family aircrafts here you can also fly low and slow.
      I am sugesting to fly low on 40-50% of throttle. around 45degree vector control, use pulse rudder to control left right, it is realy easy. With little practice you can even hoover and follow ship with same speed and height. Without fake flaps and airbrakes. Important here is to control using rudder and vector thrust control.
       
      Skins covers aircrafts used by 6 escuadrilla of Spanish Navy from 1972 untill late 90s. Later they repainted remaining aircrafts with grey scheme.
      All numbers are historicaly correct and are based on available photos. Including losses of airframes.
       
      Have fun.
      Edit your way.
      And report bugs.
      you should probably thank acesfakia who asked me to do this.

    2. HS.9 SeaKing. Arma Aerea de la Armada Española

      This is simple remod, of Florian's Sea King model
      Representing Spanish Navy Sikorsky HS.9 SeaKing.
      Model itself is Florian work and all hail to him for his work.

      ---------------------------------------------

      This package and any part of it may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware additions.
      Any persons wishing to make further modfications, MUST remember to put everyone's name in it.

      You need FakePilot mod to use this addon/
      Model itself is untouched by me.

      All decals are made by me and are based on available documents and photos - historicaly correct.

      Skins represents only operator - 5 Escuadrilla of Spanish Navy. Repreents only early paint / model version from 1966 to early 90's

      This helo got new ini work. So if you have old Florian SeaKing - do a backup. Becasue this is new and you might not like it.
      new aircraft data ini with new flight model, and few differences
      animation keys reassigned.

      Right side rear slide doors are opened as bomb_bay
      left side slide door as ANIMATION KEY 1
      Rotor brake ANIMATION KEY 7
      Folding rotor ANIMATION KEY 8

      Ive put some speed limits for animations up to 30 kts for doors,and rotor animation so you can fold onboard vessel.
      Flying is done same way as in my helos. Vector thrust controll, etc.. it is pretty simple.

      Last thing:
      There is new cockpit. As replacement ive done some simple generic cockpit for SH-3. Since there is lot of versions of SeaKing lot of pits, this is generic and simple build, that should fit here.
      Consider it as beta, few things are not working there.

      ***************
      THIS COCKPIT FOR SH-3 SEA KING OR ANY PART OF IT MUST NOT BE HOSTED OR
      POSTED FOR DOWNLOAD ON ANY OTHER WEB SITE WITHOUT MY EXPRESS
      PERMISSION, OR USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE THAN THIRDWIRE FLIGHT

      This is second version of my previous Lahatut.
      It is updated in lod, data.ini,skins,decals etc.
      New decal sets covering all 36 numbers.
      I have added also Lahatut 500E unarmed version.
       

      Ive named both aircrat diferently than previous ones to avoid confusion.
      Highly recomended to delete old one.
       
      Do not mix old and new files...as it will not work well.
       

      ******************IMPORTANT******************
       
      This addon works only with my WeaponPACK (included in rar file). All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Animations.
      LANDING GEAR - Nose light on/off at any speed. Don't forget to retract before shooting.
       
      ANIMATION 8 - front left door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 9 - front right door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - rear door. (disabled in _data.ini file)
       
      ANIMATION 1 - If needed you can activate old XM70 sight to aim hydra rockets. In fact MD500 defender was offered for sale also with M27 Minigun and XM70 sight but I am not sure if IAF ever bought minigun subsystem.
       
      Like in previously realased loaches here also you can realy fly low and slow. This helo got little more power due to higher weight compared to old OH-6A
      I am sugesting to fly low on 40-50% of throttle. around 45degree vector control, use pulse rudder to control left right, it is realy easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
      Important here is to control using rudder and vector thrust control.
       

      Skins.
      All numbers are historicaly correct and are based on available photos. But I am not sure if those numbers are 100% correct for specific unit.
      Tayeset 160. First operational unit of Lahatut. It was used by 160Sq during first Lebanon War with AH-1S(mod)
      Tayeset 161.
      Tayeset 190. Formed in 1985 with aircrafts transfered from 160 and 161 sqns.
      Flight School also aquired few aircrafts in mid 90s.
       
      Weapons.
      TOWs - BGM-71 A/B/C/D.
      M260 7 tube rocket launcher with several different warheads.
       
      Weapons are the same as in previous helicopter packs, so if you downloaded AH-1S(mod) no need to copy weapons.

    7. Agusta ASH-3 Sea King Over Persia

      This is simple remod, overhaul of Florian's Sea King model
      Representing Agusta ASH-3D Sea King as delivered to Iranian Navy.
      Model itself is Florian work and all hail to him for his work.

      Any persons wishing to make further modfications, MUST remember to put everyone's name in it.
       
      This mod represents Agusta ASH-3D and ASH-3D/TS Sea King as delivered to Iranian Navy in 1978.
      Via fake pilot ive added radar dome to D and D/TS versions.
      Iran oredered 17 D versions and 3 D/TS.
       
      Model itself is untouched by me.
       
      Ive made skins similiar as in RH-53D representing 3 colour schemes. early white/grey 1978, 1990 grey paint and current blue camo paint
       
      All decals are made by me and are based on available documents and photos. So lets say - historicaly correct.
      Iranian Navy is using only 3 aircrafts model D/TS and 17 D version.
       
      This helo got new ini work. So if you have old Florian SeaKing - do a backup. Becasue this is new and you might not like it.
      new aircraft data ini with new flight model, and few differences
      animation keys reassigned.
       

      Right side rear slide doors are opened as bomb_bay
      left side slide door as ANIMATION KEY 1
       
      Rotor brake ANIMATION KEY 7
      Folding rotor ANIMATION KEY 8
       
      Ive put some speed limits for animations up to 30 kts for doors,and rotor animation so you can fold onboard vessel.
       
      Flying is done same way as in my helos. Vector thrust controll, etc.. it is pretty simple.
       
      This aircraft is using same nation as previously released RH-53D for Iran Navy - called IranNavy.
       

      Last thing:
      There is new cockpit. As replacement ive done some simple generic cockpit for SH-3. Since there is lot of versions of SeaKing lot of pits, this is generic and simple build, that should fit here.
      Consider it as beta, few things are not working there.

    8. Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King SF2. re-mod.

      This is simple remod, overhaul of Florian's Sea King model.
      Model itself is Florian work and all hail to him for his work.
       
      ---------------------------------------------
      The names of all contributors, modders, suppliers, etc =MUST= be listed in any new readmes.
      This package and any part of it may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware additions.
      Any persons wishing to make further modfications, MUST remember to put everyone's name in it.
       
      This mod represents SH-3D and some versions of SH-3A used by US Navy for CSAR operations.
       
      Althoug Florian's SH-3 represents something between A-D Generaly it fits here but are not hundred% correct.
      There were also two D versions with small differences...but this is different story.
       
      This is version 2 uploadaed with smaler size of skins.
      You can also download only skins in seperate rar file.
       
      Model itself is untouched by me. Only in A version ive removed few bits by ini work.
      Using Florian's skins ive made templates and new skins.
       
      In this pack SH-3D skins are:
       
      HS-4 'Black Knights' USS Ticonderoga 1971
      HS-5 'Night Dippers' USS Wasp 1970
      HS-11 'Dragonslayers' USS John F. Kennedy 1976
       
      SH-3A is made for Wings over Vietnam mod.
      It represents only one unit:
      HS-6 'Indians' USS Kearsarge 1966-1968 at Yankee Station.
      Plus additional one skin with shortly used camo paint.
       
      All decals are made by me and are based on available documents and photos. So lets say - historicaly correct.
       
      This helo got new ini work. So if you have old Florian SeaKing - do a backup. Becasue this is new and you might not like it.
      new aircraft data ini with new flight model, and few differences
      animation keys reassigned.
       
      Sonar and MAD operations are same as before, ANIMATION KEYS 3,4,5
      Right side rear slide doors are opened as bomb_bay
      left side slide door as ANIMATION KEY 1
       
      Rotor brake ANIMATION KEY 7
      Folding rotor ANIMATION KEY 8
       
      Ive put some speed limits for animations up to 30 kts for doors,and rotor animation so you can fold onboard vessel.
       
      Flying is done same way as in my helos. Vector thrust controll, etc.. it is pretty simple.

    9. AH-1F /S(MC) Cobra ver.2016

      BELL AH-1F / S(MC) COBRA Ver 1.0 for SF2
       
      January 2016.
       
      This is a third party add on of the AH-1S(MC) / F Cobra using models and cockpits created by me.
      The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
      I have just modified it a bit.
       
      It is designed for and works only in the SF2 series.
       
      WeaponPACK for this model is also included.

      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       
      This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.
       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
       
      AH-1F was Step 3 upgrade program of Army Cobra. This variant was originally known as the AH-1S(MC) – Modified Cobra. In this model Army Cobra featured the three -barell 20mm M197 automatic cannon mounted in XM97 universal turret. The AH-1F also featured an improved rocekt management system for 2.75 inch rockets, an improved sighting system, and a more powerful electrical generator to support all new systems. It was later upgraded with engine inlet deflectors to allow using WFAR rockets with Mk66 motor.
       
      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector - and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       
      NVG.
      Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
      I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
      In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
      In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
       
      Skins:
      This pack is divided into two parts for Wings over "anywhere" and Desert Storm.
       
      For Desert Storm there is seperate model with 3 skins / units:
      C-troop 1st Sq(Air),7th Cav.
      2nd ACR.
      1st Sq(Air),1th Cav.
       
      Other wings over Europe, Asia anywhere
       
      Early F model as delivered to Army in early 80s
      4th Sq(Air),7th Cav. Budingen Germany 1988
      1st Sq(Air),17th Cav.'Urgent Fury'Grenada 1983
      163rd ACR Utah ANG, 1983
      163 ACR Aggressor MAWTS-1, FINEX-1988
       
      Late F model with intake deflectors
      1st Sq(Air),1th Cav.
      1st Sq(Air),1th Cav. IFOR Bosnia, 1995.
      1/150th Avn Bn. New Jersey ARNG.1998
       
      All serial numbers are proper for S(MC) / F model but am not sure if these numbers appeared in specific units.
      some seiral are taken from available photos and are matched to units. Some are just placeholders but are correct for model block buid.
       
      As far as i know all numbers in Desert Storm mod are correct.
       
      Weapons.
       
      Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P/E model.
      Including XM158 and M200/M260/M261 launchers and for smoe late models M260 and M261 with Mk66 motor rockets.
      TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D
      There is additional optional Suppressed Exhaust loaded via weaponstation.
      Also here there is new M197 automatic cannon loaded via weaponstation.
       
      One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
      Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
      Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
       
       
       
      Enjoy.

      Edit your way.

      WARNING!
       
      This is totaly new file. I highly recomend to backup your old files. OR just delete all old files. Even weapon folders. It is updated here.
      This is totaly new files and will not work in many parts with old.
       
      This model is based on previous J model with little modifications. Representing J International model exported to Iran. And J TOW International Cobra - modified J Cobra TOW capable aircraft. Only user of this model was also Iran and South Korea which used 8 aircrafts between 1978-2004.
       
      Pack includes 3 aircrafts as I made it specific for Iran and South Korea.
      Cockpits included.
       
      This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
      With some differenced compared to G model.
       
      AIRBRAKES - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - deploy arresting hook to land on aircraft carrier.
       
      LANDING GEAR - belly light deploy/retract at any speed. Don't forget to fold before shooting.
       
      A2A mode - gunner station guncross for turret.
       
      A2Ground mode - pilot M60 gunsight cross.
       
      ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       

      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.

      All serial numbers are historicaly correct for each country.
       
      Nations.
      I've set nation name for Iran. In my instal Iran - Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force. Same with J Tow model and plus SKorea- which is Republic of Korea Air Force.
      You might want to add new nation as It should be - Islamic Republic of Iran Army Aviation
      And Republic of Korea Army Aviation - ROKAA not ROKAF.
       
      But as always you can mod it your way.
       
      Skins:
      I've included skins for Iranian Army Aviation for both J and J TOW model representing early Imperial Iranian Army Aviation and post revolutionary Islamic Republic of Iran Army Aviation.
      Also South Korean Army Aviation is represented by early and late type of painting.
      During Iran-Iraq war Iranian army did some test with launching AGM-65 missiles. But reports says airframe sufers structural damage.
      Here I made possible to load Mavericks for Iranian AH-1J.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using usnpilots by OldDiego. Not included.
      Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
       
      Instalation:
       
      Copy all files into specific folders.
       
      Sounds:
      For M197gatling sound copy the lines from SOUNDLIST ADDON to your soundlist ini file.
       
      Enjoy.
      Edit your way.
      Hope everything is working fine.

      This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.

       
      ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
       

      AH-1S(MC) was Step 3 upgrade program of Army Cobra. In this model Army Cobra featured the three -barell 20mm M197 automatic cannon mounted in XM97 universal turret. The AH-1S(MC) also featured an improved rocekt management system for 2.75 inch rockets, an improved sighting system, and a more powerful electrical generator to support all new systems. It was later upgraded with engine inlet deflectors to allow using WFAR rockets with Mk66 motor. Japanese Fuji Factory built 92 aircrafts under license for JGSDF. While USArmy and other users were using F designation for this model JGSDF remain using S symobl for Fuji Cobra.
       
      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector - and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       
      NVG.
      Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
      I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
      In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
      In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
       

      Skins:
      Generic skin for all 5 attack helicopter units plus 2 special anniversary paint/decal set.
       

      All serial numbers are proper for Japanese Fuji S model but am not sure if these numbers are 100% correct for specific unit.
       

      Weapons.
       
      Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P/E model.
      Including XM158 and M200/M260/M261 launchers and for smoe late models M260 and M261 with Mk66 motor rockets.
      TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D
      There is additional optional Suppressed Exhaust loaded via weaponstation.
      Also here there is new M197 automatic cannon loaded via weaponstation.
       
      One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
      Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
      Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.

      Tzefa Over Israel part 2. Ver 1.0 for SF2
       
      June 2016.
       
      This is a third party add on of the AH-1E and F Cobra using models and cockpits created by me.
      The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
      I have just modified it a bit.
       
      It is designed for and works only in the SF2 series.

      This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.

       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
       
      This is second part of my Tzefa over Israel pack.
      In early eighties Israel received E and F model Cobra. Later all E models were upgraded to F standard.
      All Tzefa were divided into 160 and 161 squadrons.
       
      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector - and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       
      NVG.
      Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
      I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
      In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
      In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
       

      Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P/E model.
      Including XM158 and M200/M260/M261 launchers and for smoe late models M260 and M261 with Mk66 motor rockets.
      TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D
      There is additional optional Suppressed Exhaust loaded via weaponstation.
      Also here there is new M197 automatic cannon loaded via weaponstation.
       
      One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
      Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
      Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.

      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.

      This pack includes foreign users of F and E model Cobra.
      Royal Bahraini Air Force
      Jordanian Air Force
      Republic of Korea Army Aviation
      Thai Army
       
      All serial numbers are historicaly correct. As far as I know.
      If someone got some corrections to serials let me know.
       
      AH-1F was Step 3 upgrade program of Army Cobra. This variant was originally known as the AH-1S(MC) – Modified Cobra. In this model Army Cobra featured the three -barell 20mm M197 automatic cannon mounted in XM97 universal turret. The AH-1F also featured an improved rocekt management system for 2.75 inch rockets, an improved sighting system, and a more powerful electrical generator to support all new systems. It was later upgraded with engine inlet deflectors to allow using WFAR rockets with Mk66 motor.
       
      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector - and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.

      Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
      I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
      In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
      In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
       

      Weapons.
       
      Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P/E model.

      In 1995-96 Turkish army decided to upgrade old P model. It was sent to Israel for upgrades. And it was brought to late Israeli F model standard.. But still in official documents and info plates on helicopters it is P model. Aircrafts received new electronics, HUD and all israeli F model upgrades.
      All serial numbers are proper for Turkish P model and historicaly correct.
       
      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector - and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.

      WARNING!
       
      This is totaly new file. I highly recomend to backup your old files. OR just delete all old files. Even weapon folders. It is updated here.
      This is totaly new files and will not work in many parts with old.
       

      Also new cockpits included for both 69 and 80 versions.
       
      This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      AIRBRAKES - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - deploy arresting hook to land on aircraft carrier.
       
      LANDING GEAR - belly light deploy/retract at any speed. Don't forget to fold before shooting.
       
      A2A mode - gunner station guncross for turret.
       
      A2Ground mode - pilot M60 gunsight cross.
       
      ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       

      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
       
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       
      To take off from ship.
      Increase throttle realase brake.
      Or.
      Incrase throttle around 75% of throttle vector controll and then realase brake.
      Landing on ship.
      Aproach. Reduce speed using throttle vector controll. Realase hook. Slowly aproach matching speed with vessel and reducing altitude to deck height. Hit deck. Needs practice but it is easy.
       
      Catapult on deck are set 10cm higher than regular deck level. So aircraft is 'hovering' 10cm above deck. It must be this way since these vesseles are not supportin aircraft carrier operations. It is just fooling game engine.
       
      All serial numbers are historicaly correct and based on available documents.
       

      I divided models into three sub packs. Weapons,guns,sounds are common to every part.
      Models 69 and 80 in diferent packs are still same model it is made this way for specific game mod.
       
      Vietnam pack 69 model.
      HML-367 'Scareface' Marble Mountain 1971
      HMA-369 'Marhukers' Operation MARHUK USS Cleveland, USS Denver
       
      Desert Storm pack 80 model
      HMA-773 'Sea Cobras' USS New Orleans 1991
      HMA-775 'Coyotes' Camp Smith, Saudi Arabia 1991
       

      Wings Over Europe/North Atlantic/Mediterranean Sea and anywhere.
      69 model:
      HMM-263© Det.HMA-269 USS Guadalcanal 1975
      HMM-162© Det.HMA-269 USS Guadalcanal 1976 (I am not sure if BuNos and modex are 100% correct here)
      HMH-362© Det.HMA-269 USS Guadalcanal 1976
      HMM-262© Det.HMA-169 USS Tarawa 1979 (I am not sure if BuNos and modex are 100% correct here)
       
      80 model"
      semi fictional skins (serial numbers are correct for J mode but not sure all of them apeard in HMA -169
      HMA-169 'World Famous Vipers' Two skins early green and mid-late 80s tri color version.
      This unit used AH-1J until 1986. This skin is based on photos but serial numbers are not 100% correct. Those are real SeaCObra numbers but fictional for this unit. However numbers started with 159 were present in this unit.
       

      Optional files:
      Two navy ships LHA and LPD class. Converted to USMC service. So in single mission, player flight will start from ship. (Water map needed)
      Both with landing deck.
      Experimental lights on deck of LPD class ship. Credits to Fubar for his carrier lights pack.
       
      Weapons included.
       
      One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
      Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
       
      During late 70 Marines tested scoop exhaust like US Army on G model. There are just a few photos with this mod.
      Here in game it will apear for a while in 1976-1978. It doesn't do anything. Since there is no IR suppresion in game. It is just for look and fun factor.
       
      In 80's model there is ALQ-144 IR Jammer. Since ther is no IR Jamming in game it is just very weak jammer. you can turn it on but don't count on jamming.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using usnpilots by OldDiego. Not included.
      SOme pilots models might be too big for this helo.
       

      Instalation:
       
      Copy all files into specific folders.
       
      Sounds:
      For M197gatling sound copy the lines from SOUNDLIST ADDON to your soundlist ini file.
       
      Squadrons:
      Add specific entrys form Squadronlist addon to your squadron list.
       

      Enjoy.
      Edit your way.

    16. AH-1E /S(ECAS) Cobra TOW ver.2016

      BELL AH-1S(ECAS) COBRA Ver 1.9 for SF2
       
      March 2016.
       
      This is a third party add on of the AH-1S(ECAS) / E Cobra using models and cockpits created by me.
      The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
      I have just modified it a bit.
       
      It is designed for and works only in the SF2 series.
       
      WeaponPACK for this model is also included.

      This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.
       
      A2A mode - gunner station TSU guncross for turret.
       
      A2Ground mode - pilot M73 cross.
       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
       
      AH-1E was Step 2 upgrade program of Army Cobra. This variant was originally known as the „Up-Gun AH-1S or AH-1S(ECAS) – Enhanced Cobra Armament System. In this model Army Cobra featured the three -barell 20mm M197 automatic cannon mounted in XM97 universal turret. The AH-1E also featured an improved rocekt management system for 2.75 inch rockets, an improved sighting system, and a more powerful electrical generator to support all new systems. It has new 2nd version of flat plate canopy with bulged side glass panels. 98 new-built AH-1Es were delivered in 1978 and 1979. This was used only by US Army and NG. Plus six in basic configuration was ordered by Israel. Israel upgraded E to its own version of F model it will be part of different pack.
      Small changes in pit insturments compared to S(Prod)
      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector - and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       
      NVG.
      Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
      I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
      In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
      In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
       
      Skins:
      One generic carc green skin for three units. Not much individual paintings here.
      1st Sq(Air),17th Cav. 82nd CAB. 1978
      B/1-123rd Avn Brig,7th Inf.Div 1989.'Just Cause'
      4th Squadron "Longknife Squadron" 3rd ACR.
       
      All serial numbers are proper for S(ECAS) / E model but am not sure if these numbers appeared in specific units.
      some seiral are taken from available photos and are matched to units. Some are just placeholders but are correct for model block buid.
       
      Weapons.
      Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P model.
      Including XM158 and M200 launchers.
      TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D.
      There is additional optional Suppressed Exhaust loaded via weaponstation.
      Also here there is new M197 automatic cannon loaded via weaponstation.
       
      One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
      Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
      Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
       
       
       
      Enjoy.

      BELL AH-1G COBRA Over Elsewhere* Ver 2.0 for SF2
      February 2016
       
      This is a third party add on of the AH-1GCobra using models and cockpits created by me.
      The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
      I have just modified it a bit.
      It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.

      This addon works only with my WeaponPACK (Included in rar file) All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
      For Spanish AH-1G Z-14/HA.14 Cobra there is seperate folder with additional weapons made for Spanish model. It should be instaled same way as other weapons.
       

      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - belly light deploy/retract at any speed in late models
      - nose lights activate/deactivate in early model. Lights must on.
       
      A2A mode - gunner station guncross for turret.
       
      A2Ground mode - pilot M73 cross.
       
      ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       
       
       
      WARNING!
       
      This is totaly new file. I highly recomend to backup your old files. OR just delete all old files.
      This is totaly new files and will not work in many parts with old.
       

      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
       
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       
      3 separate models.
      AH-1G_70
      AH-1G-70 USMC
      HA-14 Cobra of Spanish Navy.
       
      All serial numbers are historicaly correct.
       
      Skins:
       
      Army model
      334th AHC. Hanau, Germany 1973 (new add)
      120 Av Co. 'Arctic Knights' Fort Richardson, Alaska 1973 (new add)
      D-Trop 3rd Squadron 8th Cavalry 'Mainz-Finthen Germany 1975
       
      USMC model
      HMA-169 (new add)
      HMA-773

      Armada Espanola
      7 Escaudrilla, Rota '74
      7 Escaudrilla, Rota '78
       

      I have redone all weapons - launchers M159,157,158,M200, and some navy LAUs. Gunpods M18 and navy SUU-11. XM118 smoke dispenser.
      Guns are loaded as weaponstations so player got options.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
      Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
       
       
       
      Instalation:

       
      Copy all files into specific folders.

      Enjoy.

    19. SA. 342L1 Ethniki Frourá SF.2

      SA.34L1 Gazelle of Cypriot National Guard Ver 1.0 for SF2
       
      This is a third party addon of SA.342 Gazelle helicopter.
      The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters modified by me. I am not using airbrakes or flaps but flying fast and slow is stil possible, even hovering with little practice.
      It is designed for and works only in SF2 series. And will never work in SF1.

      This is highly modified SA-341 Gazelle by BPAo (TMF). Lucky, thanks to Crusader I had access to original max file. So I could work a little on this great helo. At first I was planing only to rebuild middle east Gazelles to have some balance of power in Wings Over Israel game. But having oportunity to work on file brought me at this point. And I decided to go with French Gazelles first.
      Generaly model is almost the same as old one. My work was to add some parts here and there (rwr,cable cutters, new athos, some internal parts, skids etc..). Rearanged animations and added new. Weapons/pylons are part of airframe. Ive added new rotor. Also I've rearanged UVW mapping. So basicaly skins are 70% new.
       
      This mod represents Gazelle L1 as used by Cyprus National Guard. It was made on request of CA user. And with his help on ini edit I decided to put it here.
       
      ******************IMPORTANT******************
       
      This addon works with my WeaponPACK (included in rar file). Most of pylons/launch rails are part of airframe. So in weapons folder you have to put only ini files. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course you can edit and use any other weapons availalbe.
       
      Weapons included:
       
      HOT-1,2,3 missiles.
       
      Cocpits.
      It is simplified and unified version of Gazelle cockpit.
      In pit you can switch from pilot to co-pilot/weapon operator seat.
      On co pilot seat you have access to 1x "binocular" sight Athos/Viviane. In HOT equipped version by selectiong HOT missile sight will lock on target as all HOT missiles are made as EOGR.
       
      Animations and standard commands:
       
      LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed.
       
      ANIMATION 1 - right side door.
      ANIMATION 2 - left side door.
      ANIMATION 3 - rear doors.
       
      Thereis also parking animation that works only when aircraft will be placed by game engine on airfiled as parked aircraft.
       
      Flying.
      As with all my previous helos flying is quite easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
      Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
      Normaly throtle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 55% wait little and then increase to 100% and helo will take off nicely. 341 version got little less power in engine.
       
      Skins.
      Two versons of Cyprus paint scheme. I decided to call it late and early.
       
      Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots.
       
      Nation for this helo is new Cyprus. This should be added (by copy text from provided file) to nationlist.ini

      This is a third party add on of the AH-1S(Prod) Cobra using models and cockpits created by me.
      The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
      I have just modified it a bit.
       
      It is designed for and works only in the SF2 series.
       
      ver 1 was never uploaded as i started t o upgrade files during work on this. So this is upgraded to my 2.0 standard.
       
      WeaponPACK for this model is also included.

      This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.

       
      A2A mode - gunner station TSU guncross for turret.
       
      A2Ground mode - pilot M73 cross.
       

      ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
       
      Airfield eye candy blades animation.
       

      Technicaly it is old S model with few upgrades. It has new 1st version of flat plate canopy. Rest things remain same as in previous S(mod) Cobra. In 1987 S(Prod) Cobra was redesignated AH-1P.
      In mid 80s some birds received K-747 blades. Here represented by 78 model.
       
      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
       
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       
      NVG.
      Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
      I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
      In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
      In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
       

      Skins:
      77 model
      1st Sq(Air),17th Cav. 82nd CAB. 1978
      42nd Combat Avn Brigade,New York ANG.1981
       
      78 model with K747 blades.
      1st Sq, 167th Air cavalry Nebraska ANG.1991
      D Company 25th CAB, 25th Inf Div.
       
      All serial numbers are proper for S(Prod) / P model but am not sure if these numbers appeared in specific units.
      some seiral are taken from available photos and are matched to units. Some are just placeholders but are correct for model block buid.
       
      Weapons.
      All weapons are reskined. TOW models are new.
      Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P model.
      Including XM158 and M200 launchers.
      TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D
       

      One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
      Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
      Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
       
       
       
      Enjoy.
      Report Bugs.
      Edit your way.

      WARNING!
       
      This is totaly new file. I highly recomend to backup your old files. OR just delete all old files.
      This is totaly new files and will not work in many parts with old.
       
      There is still old file available to download.
      New file is named AH-1S_Ver2.0_SF2
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       
      This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon
       
      pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.
       
      A2A mode - gunner station TSU guncross for turret.
       
      A2Ground mode - pilot M73 cross.
       
      ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
       
      Added eye candy parking animation.
       
      Technicaly it is still old G/Q model with few upgrades. Bell enginers just put additional 400horse power, new tail gearbox with tail rotor and
       
      some avionics upgrades. Here I also added some extra power.
      For almost 10 years all new cobra was always S but different modification step model. This one was designated S(Mod) but after 1987 (when they
       
      were already extra confused by step models) Army simplified designation system and this one become just S model.
      Sometiems S(mod) is refered also as Q. But S(mod) had few visual differences compared to previous model. It also received AN/APR-39.
      Tail rotor and tail rotor housing are borrowed from Marine J model. Inlet screens are removed already from this model onward.
      In mid 80's lot of S(mod) were sent inot National Guard units. At this point they received wire strike protection system. Some were also equipped
       
      with nvg. But still TSU has no nvg capability so it was not much of real night fighter.
      Some S(Mod) gained C-NITE system for night targeting but it is not in my model.
       
      In late 80s some National Guard birds received K-747 blades but it is not here.
       
      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then
       
      increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed
       
      and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
       
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it
       
      is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not
       
      proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       
      NVG.
      Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
      I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
      In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
      In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg
       
      will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
       
      Skins:
      76 model
      334th AHC B COmpany, 503rd Avn Bn, Büdingen 1977
      11 ACR, Air Cavalry Tropp, Fulda, West Germany 1982.
      2nd ACR, Air Cavalry Troop , Feucht, West Germany 1980.
       
      85 model
      19th Air Cavalry, Hawaii Air National Guard 1985.
       
      added:
      1st Btl,140th Avn Reg,California National Guard, 1991
       
      This pack no longer contains Israel and Turkish Cobra. I've removed it from here as it will be part of new pack.
      Weapons.
      All weapons are reskined. TOW models are new.
      Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P model.
      Including XM158 and M200 launchers.
      TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D
       
      One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
      Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
      Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
       
      CHANGES to version 1.0
      New skins, fixed some details on model, fixed some ini lines.
      TOW Weapons redone.
      Changed loadouts,
      TOW launchers are part of airframe, now it is loaded diferent way then before and not using weapon rack.
      Turkish and Israel aircrafts are removed from this pack and are parts of its own pack.
       
      Enjoy.

      This is repack from old AH-1S(mod) and brand new AH-1P models used by Turkish Army Aviation.

      * WARNING!
      regarding TAH-1S
      This is totaly new file. I highly recomend to backup your old files from AH-1G mod and old AH-1 S mod. OR just delete all old files.
      This is totaly new files and will not work in many parts with old.
      All serials are historicaly correct.
       
      TAH versions are for training purposes with limited combat capability. But ini files for combat can be easly modified. Mostly in data.ini file weapons are limited by weight so it will not apear on loadout menu.
       

      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off.

      In 1974 Israel aquired for test 6 war weary AH-1G Cobra. It saw some combat in newly formed squadrons. After positive feedback abput new aircraft it was sent back to USA for upgrades.
      In 1979-1980 Israel received back rebuilded to S(mod) standard 6 aircrafts (rebuild of G model they purchased in 1975. 3 were sent to 160Sq and 3 to 161Sq.

      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.

      WARNING!
       
      This is totaly new file. I highly recomend to backup your old files. OR just delete all old files.
      This is totaly new files and will not work in many parts with old.
       
      There is still old file available to download.
      New file is named AH-1Q_Ver2.5_SF2_2016.rar
       
      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
       
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       
       
       
      There is skin only for 11 ACR in Europe. Well Q was upgraded to S(MOD) quickly so not much info to find about Q in units.
      All serial numbers are proper for Q model but am not sure if these numbers appeared in 11th ACR.
      15086 for sure was there.
       
      Weapons.
      All weapons are reskined. TOW models are new.
      Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P model.
      Including XM158 and M200 launchers.
      TOWs BGM-71A/B
       
      One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
      Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
       
      CHANGES to previous version:
      New skins, fixed some details on model, fixed some ini lines.
      TOW Weapons redone.
      Changed loadouts,
      TOW launchers are part of airframe, now it is loaded diferent way then before and not using weapon rack.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
      Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
       
      Instalation:
       
      Copy all files into specific folders.

    25. Hughes 500MD Defenders over Korea.

      Hughes 500MD Defenders Ver 1.0 for SF2
       
      This is a third party add on of 500MD Defenders using models and cockpits created by me.
      The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
      I have just modified it a bit.
      It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.

      This addon works only with my WeaponPACK (included in rar file). All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Animations.
      LANDING GEAR - Nose light on/off at any speed. Don't forget to retract before shooting.
       
      ANIMATION 8 - front left door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 9 - front right door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - rear door. (disabled in _data.ini file)
       
      ANIMATION 1 - If needed you can activate old XM70 sight to aim hydra rockets. In fact MD500 defender was offered for sale also with M27 Minigun and XM70 sight.
      Here on Defender will apear when switching to AG mode. In TOW Defender gunsight by animation key 1.
       
      By pressing Arresting Hook activation key you can switch do TOW gunner.
       
      Like in previously realased loaches here also you can realy fly low and slow. This helo got little more power due to higher weight compared to old OH-6A
      I am sugesting to fly low on 40-50% of throttle. around 45degree vector control, use pulse rudder to control left right, it is realy easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
      Important here is to control ac using rudder and vector thrust control.
       
      Pack comes with two versions of Defender. First is basic recon version. Second is aircraft equipped with TOW missile system.
       
      Skins are generic for Republic of Korea Army Aviation.
      All numbers as far as I know are are historicaly correct and are based on available photos. Just few numbers, but can be updated later.
       
      Weapons.
      TOWs - BGM-71 A/B/C/D.
      M260 7-tube rocket launcher with several different warheads.
      M27 minigun subsytem
       
      Enjoy.
