SA.342 L / K Gazelles Over Middle East

SA.342 L/K Gazelle Ver 1.0 for SF2

This is a third party addon of SA.341 and 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. This is second part of my gazelles rebuild. It represents only export versions and Egyptian ABHCO build - Gazelle L and K.
Few changes to previous French model. Most visible is higher skids and engine filter. And some changes in antenas.
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.

******************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:

NC621 20mm automatic canon. Two verson low and high RPM rate. Available only for Iraq and Egypt.
By default in loadout.ini it is low-rpm always. Better do not give hi-rpm to wingman.
Due to aircraft-data.ini / loadout.ini you can't add NC621 for other countries. As gunpod is part of airframe / lod file ONLY in Iraq and Egypt folder.
HOT-1,2,3 missiles, known from French Gazelles pack.

Also optional suppresed exhaust.

Cocpits.
All versions have dedicated cockpits. It is simplified and unified version of Gazelle cockpit.
In every 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. By choosing radar on you will have "sniper" zoom. I dont know how many x zoom is that. It's zooming. And it is acurate somehow. With little practice you can even hit targets from 1-1.2 km.
aiming crosshair is 'what if' since I never found the look of real one

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.

Versions and skins.

Each helo in this pack is made for specific country. There are few differences in some lod files for each country. And somehow can be used for different mod instals.

.Operation Desert Storm.

- Kuwait Air Force in paint scheme from 90-91. During Iraq invasion and Operation Desert Storm. Only HOT and unarmed version here. All serial numbers and codes are historicaly correct.

- Qatar Emiri Air Force. Only Hot and unarmed Gazelles in QEAF inventory. All serial numbers and codes are historicaly correct.

.Wings Over Israel.

- Syrian Arabic Air FOrce. Syria purchased only SA342L with HOT missiles. Firs 8 serial numbers are historicaly correct. Rest is random from L series numbers.

- Egyptian Air Force. Egypt operated 44 HOT Gazelles and 30 with 20mm gun. All numbers are correct for 342L Series. But not historicaly correct for EAF. This is random numbers from ABHCO list.

.Iran - Iraq War Mod.
- Iraqi Air Force. Iraq purchased numbers of Gazelles in early 80s. Probably wired for 20mm gun and HOT missiles. I got only 2 serial numbers for Iraq firs two on the list. Got few more reference on IQAF but pics are very blurred. So rest of numbers are random,

All decals are set to random.
Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots.
Im adding simply repaint of OldDiego's usn pilots

Sounds - two additional sounds data entrys for 20mm cannon should be added to soundlist.ini.

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.

I was putting some hangar/loading screenies but finaly it covers only few models. Rest must be done in future.

This mod represents few versions of Gazelle.
Unarmed called 'Lisse'. Early 1973 version without APX-397 sight and late already equipped with 'Athos'
Armed with 20mm cannon called 'Canon' and Version armed with HOT missiles usually called HOT but here it is split into two models; one with Athos sight and second with Viviene.
Also you can find here Air to Air escort version -early called 'Celtic' and late called "Mistral"
Mistral/Celtic version is set as attack role and has similar aircraft dutties as attack version plus escort. Thing is that you may consider changing role only to recon/escort as it will not perform well agianst ground targets.

******************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:

SA.341F2 'Canon'
NC621 20mm automatic canon. Two verson low and high RPM rate.
By default in loadout.ini it is low-rpm always. Better do not give hi-rpm to wingman.

SA.341M 'HOT' Sometimes called as SA.341F 'HOT' first model equipped with HOT missiles. Only 40 build because of underpowered engine. Somehow it was in use and passed form unit to unit until 90's - HOT-1,2,3 missiles.

SA.342L1 'Celtic'/'Mistral'
Mistral Air to air missiles.

SA.342M and M1
HOT-1,2,3 missiles.

All late versions have stations for flare launchers, suppresed exhaust and/or engine intake filter.

IMPORTANT THING ABOUT WEAPONSTATIONS.

F2 'Canon' and M/M1 version 90 and 93 have weaponstations calling for use Mistral ATAM.
THIS IS NOT for use on those helos. It is to have possibility to assign L1 Celtic/Mistral for wingman to have Air to air escort. So do not use it on F or M version as it will not apear there.

Cocpits.
All versions have dedicated cockpits. It is simplified and unified version of Gazelle cockpit.
In every 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. By choosing radar on you will have "sniper" zoom. I dont know how many x zoom is that. It's zooming. And it is acurate somehow. With little practice you can even hit targets from 1-1.2 km.
aiming crosshair is 'what if' since I never found the look of real one

In HOT equipped version by selectiong HOT missile sight will lock on target as all HOT missiles are made as EOGR.

As Mistral and Celtic are escort versions ther is not much features in cockpit.

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.
There is just few skins but lot of use of it in few units. So it is more about decals assigned.
All serial numbers are based on available photos and ALAT documents and are historicaly correct.
I was trying to put all real units with real codes/numbers for specific year. Not always easy.
There is still some numbers missing.

Inside there is seperate folder Called "Operation_Dauget'
Inside you will find skins made for use with ODS mod for SF2.
It contains skins and decals for some units during French part of Operation Desert Storm. French codename for his operation was Dauget.

Only thing you have to do is coppy all files exept skin folders and use it in you ODS mod. Also specific loadouts for this period are provided. Due to hot climate/engine power, ALAT used only two HOT missiles. Same thing nearly ten years earlier during operation Manta in Tchad.

UH-1B, D & E of YAP for SF2V

By FANATIC MODDER

UH-1B, D & E of YAP for SF2V v0.1 by FANATIC MODDER

I converted the YAP data.ini of

- UH-1B Gunship

- UH-1B Heavy Hog

- UH-1D

- UH-1E

for use in the sf2.

More in detail,

- I modified the powerplant lines so it doesn't crash anymore.
Furthermore, more realistic feel, closer to a real helicopter.
Accurate power data.

- Gunner animation now more realistic.
The UH-1E right gunner is finally moving.

- The Helo_Destroyed.LOD line is added.
I am sure most you have this LOD added..

Why v0.1?

LOTs of things are needed to be done if we can say that they be upgraded
to proper sf2 standards.

The FM still needs a lot of tuning, since empty masses are wrong,
as are aerodynamic Coef etc. They can go up to 250 km/h top speed but don't be fooled,
it's not because of excess power...

Be in mind that these are NOT complete add-on, just corrected data.ini for sf2 use.

You need to go the Yankee air pirate webpage to donwload them. The -B/D models are part
of the basic pack, however if you want the -E you need to download exp pack 3 or helipack 1.

The way they are they may be not perfect for playing a campaign with them,
however are more than adequate as AI additions to vietnam missions/campaigns.

The credit go to

- YAP for the complete model

- Yakarov79 for his help to make them sf2 compatible.

This is a third party add on of the first LittleBird AH-6C 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. It will not work in SF1 series.

******************IMPORTANT******************

This addon works only with my WeaponPACK (included). All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack. Of course you can edit and use any other weapons availalbe.

Standard commands:

LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. Don't forget to retract before shooting on hard weapons settings)

ANIMATION 10 - Show/hide doors. If ever you will fly in cold enviroment and feel uncomfortable, you can fly with front doors instaled, It doesn't do anything. And will not help you. It's just for different look in winter.

ANIMATION 1 - 'NVG'

You can realy 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. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
Fun is skiding between buildings in cities.

Fuel. Remeber it is small chopper. And it can carry only around 54 US Gals of fuel. I belive it is enough for around 2 hours of flight here maybe little more.

Cockpits.
Since photos of interior of this two early 160th SOAR birds are extremly rare and usualy low quality for now cockpits are just "guess" cockpits. Based on these low quality photos, some MD500D, Hughes 369D manuals, guessing.

AH-6F.
Based on MD500D series. 9 airframes aquired by 160thSOAR probably in 1984 since all airframes are build in 84. AH-6F still used old M27 subsytem with M134 minigun. And same mount as earlier AH-6C for 7 tube launcher.

Skins.
All serial numbers as far as I know are based on photos and US Army docs and are historicaly correct.

Weapons.
XM27 – M134 Minigun
M260 7 tube rocket launcher. First years of operation with mk40 rockets and later Mk66 rockets.

There is no gunsight for this helo. Acording to one of the pilots they were using "grease pencil mark on the windscreen, . And practicing shooting this way ". So here it is embeded to windshield. During night with 'nvg' it will glow a little.

MH-6E.
Special Forces insertion/extraction variant of MD369MD. Introduced in 1981. No weapons.

Skins.
All serial numbers as far as I know are based on photos and US Army docs and are historicaly correct.

Weapons:

Here you can load experimental beta version of specops.
Operator with M4 or M4/M203.
You have to land select "weapon" and deploy them on the ground and get away.
Remember this is beta. Lod model is "ehmm" and animations is just for try. I did not even finish skin. So do not expect fireworks.

There is also two weaponstations to carry M27 subsystem and M260 launcher. It is not to be used on MH-6E !!!
I added it here so player can pick AH-6C/F as wingman and have cover by wingman. Just fun in single mission.

MH-6E participated in Urgent Fury with AH-6C. It was not used in inital attack but used later for extraction wounded 82nd Airborne members to USS Guam.

Pilot by OldDiego poorly repainted by me.

Have fun.

AH-64A Peten Over Israel SF2

Boeing AH-64A Peten mod Ver 1.0 for SF2

DISCLAIMER
----------
This is a third party add on of the AH-64A Apache using models and cockpits created by Dels.
Flight model and specific Israeli Peten mod was made by me.

It is designed for and works in the SF2 series of games.

This mod is made because of new upgraded Israel 2 Terrain by Wrench. - highly recommended by the way. Instead of working on Something Completely Different i was mixing with this great helo by Dels. So here it is.

AH-64A Peten mod is made as specific aircraft for Israel. Nation Name is changed to Israel and service start date set to 1990.
It was in my mind just simple mod (at the begining) but ended as little more complex. It is not perfect, but so far it works for now.
I have changed FM my way. So there is a lot of changes in data file.
It has a new engines system, new weapon stations, countermeasures and some other stuff.
I have also put life into TADS and PNVS. Just fun in external view.
And the most important thing is bumps, dispensers and whistles of Israeli Apache.
I wanted to make two paint versions so fake pilot is not much help here. So Peten mod is added by weaponstation. Anyway gun is always on board. So this is how it works here.

Some small changes into cockpit ini file.
Also new Fuel tanks (CARC green and IAF tan) are provided plus M260 and M261 rocket launchers with different warheads. (same as in Cobra packs)

Use vector thrust controll, rudder and controll throttle. It is easy to fly right now.
Still working on better FM.

WEAPONS
-------------

The AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and rails included in this package come from FastCargo's excellent "Hellfire and BrimStonefor SFP1/WOV/WOE (Version 1.1)".
All credit to FC for them, Dels have arranged them in folders for SF2 and made some minor .ini changes. Dels also made the AGM-114K Hellfire II using FC's AGM-114A model.

I made Hellfires as specific station code for IAF. Also skins are without US ARMY markings. So better to use this as it wil not overwrite anything in you weapons directory. Unless you named it same as me.

Hellfire rails are made by FastCargo. I just rename it. I had some issues with loadouts. So again here you should depend on loadout.ini file.
It always uses two rails upper M272 with two hellfires (up) and lower M299 (with two hellfires on bottom rails only)
I don't know why but on loadout with 4 hellfires on M299 - in game it was always 3 shown. Strange.
So to avoid conflicts with previous hellfire rails I made them as specific station code only for Peten.

I am always using Specific station code so I don't have mess in Loadout menu. I can only see weapons that I can/need to carry.

M260 and M261 Rocket launchers. There are two versions of these launchers CARC green and IAF Tan. Same as in my Cobra packs. You can overwrite (recomended). The only change here is display names. To avoid conflicts in loadout menu with previous launchers I changed CARCgreen to M260/M261.warhead.name.US and IAF Tan to M260/M261.warhead.name.IDF. You can overwrite. It wil still works with cobras and here with Peten and no mess with display names.
Launchers uses my Mk66 hydra rockets. Also here in pack. Same as in latest Cobra packs.

Important here is M230 ChainGun. It is a key to have a Peten mod for early green and late IAF camo.
Gun is loaded by weaponstation. Also coded.

New sound file for M230 is provided, with specific data entry into SOUNDLIST.ini.

Stingers are available for loadout but i did not put it into loadout.ini. I never seen IAF Apaches with Stingers. Not much hostile flyers there ?
No other IRM/ARM weapons allowed.

GUNS
-----------
30MM_M230 same as in original Dels package but with edited sound file name.

SKINS:
----------
113 Tayeset as they started to use Peten in 1990 and later also 190 Tayeset starting 1995.
190 Tayeset in new camouflaged tiger scheme from 2003/2004.

All serial numbers as far as I know are historicaly correct, based on available information and photos.

INSTALLATION
------------
Copy files to specific folders.

You can add the following to your squadronlist.ini

[squadron ---]
Name=113IAF
DisplayName=113 Tayeset "Ha'Tsira'a"
Nation=Israel

[squadron ---]
Name=190-2IAF
DisplayName=190 Tayeset "Maga Hakesem"
Nation=Israel

Higly recomended to use Diego's helopilots.
or you can use whatever you like by editing the
AH-64A_Data.ini

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

Hope I did not mess too much here.

OH-6A Loaches in NAM

Hughes OH-6A CAYUSE Ver 1.0 for SF2
ver. 0.95
This is a third party add on of the OH-6A CAYUSE using models* and cockpits created by me.
*External model is build by my friend Tomek Wachowski and me, years ago for differnt purpose. Fortunately he found some early work files on his hard drive and brought to me. With some work i was able to bring it back to life. Technicaly it is 80% new model compared to original old one flying somewhere out there.
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.
Few thing still needs to be done here. But I decided to upload it already.

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

******************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.

Standard commands for activating Loach features:

OH-6A Loach:

ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.

LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. Don't forget to retract before shooting.

A2Ground mode - M70E1 gunsight.

In OH-6A Cayuse model XM70E1 gunsight will apear in cockpit and external model only when gun is loaded on weaponstation.

OH-6A Cayuse only:

ANIMATION 8 - front left door (ext and cockpit view)

ANIMATION 9 - front right door (ext and cockpit view)

ANIMATION 10 - rear door.

This helicopteris build in two variants. First is ‚clean’ out of factory OH-6A Cayuse. Just small scout chopper. This is additional aircraft to main file here.
OH-6A Cayuse as seen on many photos from Vietnam War. Known also as Loach.
In this model you can switch to rear gunner positionand actualy really hit ground targets with M60. You just have to aim throug rear – front sight line. Like in real gun.
It is not prefect but this game as you know is not supporting choppers, double cockpits and many many more things. So this time again it is just to have at least good feeling.

Gunner is made as internal weapon not weapon station. This way is better. Gunner is set as SECONDARY GUN by default.

You can really fly low and slow. And in Pink Team just mark targets for Cobra wingman.
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 her to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.

Fuel. Remeber it is small chopper. And it can carry only around 54 US Gals of fuel. I belive it is enough for around 2 hours of flight here maybe little more.

Skins.
All serial numbers are historicaly correct.
Paint schemes and markings. I was trying to be acurate as much as possible in paint schemes and markins. Some skins for unit are generic because there were some little diferences within unit itself. Plus this schemes represents aircrafts used bu units during 2-3 year of service.

OH-6A Cayuse standard olive green paint with two serial numbers.

OH-6A Loach. Here i was trying to match my AH-1G Cobra.
All serial numbers are historicaly correct.
D Company 227th AHB
11th ACR
C Troop 1/9 Cavalry
D Troop 1/4 Cavalry
D Troop 3/4 Cavalry
C Troop 16th Cavalry
F Troop 4th Cavalry

Story about Weapon systems.
Internal. Gunner with M60 400 round of ammo.
No flash by default. Because with cocpit movement on gunner station it apear somewhere on elbow. better when it is not there. It can be easy changed by setting entry on M60 in aircraftdata.ini to TRUE

Additional Weapons.
- Weapon Station 1

XM27E1 – M134 Minigun
M27 - as above redesignated an unfaired Minigun M134 since 1969.
XM8 – M129 40mm automatic grenade launcher. Not seen in Vietnam.

Plus some extra weapons that were spotted on photos from Vietnam War.

- Weapon Stations 2 & 3
Up to two single tubes for Mk40 FFAR rockets attached on skids, with different warhead rockets. M151, M156, M229, M255A1, M259, M257, M247.

- Weapon Station 6
Experimental quad launcher unit developed by Rock Island Arsenal attached inside cargo compartment. Similiar to system mounted later in exported versions of H-500 Series. Very rare, seen on few pictures from Vietnam War but it was there.
Do not mix Weapon station 2 and 6 on loadouts menu. Meaning to be correct 2 or 1 single tube OR Quad launcher.

- Weapon Station 7
Most interesting is 7 tube XM158 launcher attached to XM27 susbsytem instead of 7.62mm minigun. Very rare field mod probably instaled only on one aircraft (no. 67-16321). I just used two versions with M151 and M156 warheads.

- Weapon Stations 4 & 5
Smoke grenades. DO NOT GIVE THEM TO WINGMAN.
Just five colours of smoke grenades, Yellow, White, Green, Red, Violet. I am not sure if this will support available color smoke effects. So probably wil need to create new smoke effects or mod smoke grenades.

- Weapon Station 8
Exhaust modification in late Loaches. Starting 1972 when SA-7 was threatening US crews this mod was often instaled on scout choppers. Same purpose as on late G Cobra models. I will apear on aircraft by default starting 1973 due to loadout.ini file.

- Weapon Stations 9, 10, 11, 12.

Not to be used on OH-6A !
Purpose of this is to play Pink Team on single mission with armed AH-1G Cobra.
In single mission on loadout menu you can change wingman aircraft to any available AH-1G Cobra and arm it with designated weapons for Cobra. If you don't like this option you can easly disable this by puting \ mark in data.ini file in front of weapon station entry.

Have fun. Enjoy.
Report bugs. Mod it your way.
Hope I did not miss anything here
Regards.

Ka-29 Helix-B

By WhiteBoySamurai

This model represents the Ka-29 Helix-B assault helicopter in service with the Russian armed forces. It is a development of the Ka-27 naval helicopter and primarily designed for amphibious assault.

I created this mod as "practice" using a free model I downloaded long ago. The skin is rather low-res and I have not made any attempt at improving it. However, I did create slow/fast rotors, animated doors and shock absorbers, as well as lights and weapons. The flight model is a work in progress. See the readme for full details.

No cockpit is included by default; use whatever you have available. Please feel free to post improvements to the skin and/or flight model.

Cabin doors: Shift+9

SA-341 Gazelle for SF2

By Wrench

SA-341 Gazelle Helicopter by Kesselbrut

= For SF2, Any & All =

Some revamping for Kesselbrut's fine little light attack/observation helicopter, with some upgrades for SF2.
This is the complete aircraft, with all the necessary bits; weapons (some new!), pilots, sounds, etc, ready to unzip and install. A full 'changelog' is in the "Notes" section below.
Along with the orignial skin (for the Falklands), 5 new skins have been created, thanks to Sundowner finding the templates!
They are:

French Army (overall green)
Desert (overal tan with Generic nation tag)
Desert 2 Tone (green/tan, with Generic nation tag)
Green (overall, with Generic nation tag)
Euro Camo (with Generic nation tag)

All skins are in jpg format.
Decal positions have been plotted , so when selecting a service, the appropriate insignia will appear. Those skins with the 'generic' tag will show the correct insignia, and can be used as the base to build specific nations.
On the subject of decals, no individual numbers are supplied, nor their positions plotted. But that should be fairly easy, given 'known' positions.

As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. The original release readme is also included, for historical purposes

Happy Hunting!

Pakistan Army Mi-8 Pack

By Lazarus1177

Pakistan Army Aviation Corps. Mil Mi-8 pack for SF2(Full 5-merged recommended).

This pack represents the Mi-8/17 Multi role helicopter in service with the Pakistan Army Aviation Corps.These birds have been in service for a long time and have been used in almost every role,from disaster relief to Troop insertion to battling insurgents in the Tribal regions.The Pakistan Army mostly uses the Mi-17,but a few Mi-8 variants are also in service.The following skins are included:

-Early camo
-2 desert camo schemes
-1 green camo scheme
-1 SSG(Special Services Group) scheme

A total of 5 skins are included.The Aircraft was made for SF2 by marcfighters.I have adjusted the loadout to allow it to carry non-soviet weapons.The FM of the Aircraft works perfectly well on the Normal Flight model setting.NOTE:Only ask your wingmen to engage targets within a range of 1.2 Nm or less.Otherwise,they will simply waste all their munitions from a very long range.

NOTE:The skins are in the .BMP format and are sized to 2048x2048.Users with older system may want to resize to 1024x1024 for optimal performance.

Installation:
After unzipping PA_Mi-8 pack 1.0,place the sounds and the objects folder inside your SF2 mods folder.You must at least know about the SF2 mods folder.
Note:If you do not know anything about the mod folder,the immediately stop the installation,go to the COmbatACE Forums,Go to the Strike Fighters 2 Knowledge Base and take a look at the thread explaining the Strike Fighters 2 mod folder mechanism.

IMPORTANT:
I HEREBY CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF THE CHANGES THIS MOD MAY RENDER TO YOUR GAME(Even though it doesn't).IF THIS MOD IS INSTALLED,THEN IT IS DONE ONLY BY THE WILL OF THE USER AND I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS.INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK.(The mod is perfectly safe,but I still claim no responsibility just to be safe!)

You have permission to modify these textures for your own mod(s) as long as I(lazarus1177) am acknowledged as the original author.

If you have any concerns about my mod(s),then I can be contacted here at combatace.

MV-22 for SF2

By dtmdragon

This is the MV-22B Osprey v2.2 by Zurawski updated for the Strike Fighters 2 Series.

As well as updating it for SF2 I have added a few extra bits:

-The BAE Remote Guardian GAU 17 minigun turret. It can be loaded and unloaded via a dedicated weapons station but can be fired forwards by the pilot only.

-A ‘ghost’ BAE Remote Guardian GAU 17 minigun turret. This the best way I could represent the Remote Guardian turret engaging targets to defend the aircraft. What it is is a gunner station located in the correct position that fires the GAU 17 at any enemy air targets. However there is no 3d model to go with it. So what you get is the GAU 17 minigun turret that you can see and fire straight ahead. When the AI gunner engages a target you will see the muzzle flash and tracer fire coming from mid air in the area where the GAU 17 minigun turret is. If you don’t like the idea of this there is a second data.ini file you can use which will disable the AI gunner.

-Updated pilot skins

Note: has only been tested on an all game merged vertion of SF2 but should be fine on any individual installs (I hope)

Also make sure you read the original README for flight instructions etc

To install just place files in correct locations and over ride
