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.

******************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.
Edit and report bugs.

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.
Report bugs.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Report Bugs.
Edit your way.

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.

Have fun :)!

Remembering BPAo I rerelease (first release in Falklands Pack) his SA341B-AH1
There are some Euromissile HOT AGTM in this Pack and I know the SA341B-AH1 couldn't carry them - but its funny to hunt tanks with em....
 
Read the Readme.txt for installation
 
Model by BPAo
FM by Kreelin (works fine with SF2 - use the Thrust Vector....)
Cockpit, pilots and weapons by Kesselbrut
Skins ?? - pilot skin by Richard
 
Have Fun

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!

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

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. Zahal used them during operation Peace for Galilee in 1982. Finaly around 1987 these 6 aircrafts were also rebuild into newer model. One original S(Mod) is still in museum.
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
Weapons.
All weapons are reskined. TOW models are new.
XM158 and M200 launchers. Gunpods.
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 repainted helopilots by OldDiego.
Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
 
Instalation:
 
Copy all files into specific folders.
 
 
 
Enjoy.
Report Bugs.
Edit your way.

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:
 
 
LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. Don't forget to retract before shooting.
 
 
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. It needs practice.
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 use 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 as far as I know are based on photos and arehistoricaly correct.
 
Two birds flew during operation Urgent Fury 68-17191 and ...(dont rememr right now second bird number).
 
Weapons.
XM27 – M134 Minigun
M260 7 tube rocket launcher. First years of operation with mk40 rockets and later Mk66 rockets.
Since M260 could fire Mk40 and Mk66 rockets here are two types. Early ears older and later new hydra 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.
 
Enjoy and have fun.
Jope everything works fine.
Report bugs. Will fix ASAP.
 
More six guns and night stalkers will follow.

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.

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,
 

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.

I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
