SF2 TA-4F Vietnam FastFACs - Revamp

SF2 TA-4F Skyhawk "Vietnam FastFACs" - Revamp
=============================================
*** SF2V required for the A-4F Cockpit, that is used here. Tested in full 5-merged installation ***
This is a revamp of Wrenchs Update of 331Killerbees TA-4F FastFAC-Pack. ;)
Skins have been redone in greater resolution with more details. Decals are new (although original Decals are still there). Some bits of the plane are removed by ini-edit and exchanged by FakePilot-Addons to add more details and get rid of the shadow-issue caused by the outer wing pylons.
5 new Droptanks are added (2x 150gal, 2x300gal, 1x400gal).
BuNos are always correct for the squadron and many are also correct for the plane, although sources and pictures are very rare.
H&MS-11 comes in 3 variations (CAG, Large Stripe + Bunny on Tail and Small Stripe without Bunny) that were used side by side as it seems
H&MS-12 has CAG-Bird
H&MS-13 has 2 Skins - The one from the original pack was used after Vietnam, but I redid it and included it. The one used in Vietnam has no special markings and a different Tailcode-style. I only found 1 pic as reference, so maybe other variation are possible too.

Installation
============
1. unzip to a temporary folder
2. open "Put_Content_In_Your_MOD folder" and do as you were told, if asked to overwrite, say 'yes' :P
3. enjoy!
If the Squadron is missing in the loadout screen, you should add the following lines in the squadronlist.ini ("<mod>\pilotdata"-folder) with XXX changed to the next free numbers:
[SquadronXXX]
Name=HMS11
DisplayName=H&MS-11 'Playboys'

SF2 TA-4F Skyhawk "Fast FACs"

By Wrench

SF2 TA-4F Skyhawk "Fast FACS" by 331Killerbee & Co.
This is the full package (all necessary parts included), originally created by 331Killerbee in 2008. It has been fully updated to SF2 standards, with various small changes to the aircraft and the data ini.
As with my other SF2 "fixes" for the TA-4 series, some components have been 'removed' to stop the shadow tractor beams. The FM is at the latest SF2 standard (latest patch level) Other changes include (but not limited too):
resetting all hit boxes
randomization of decals
"fake insignia" decal to activate Nation displayed name.
All weapons used are stock 3W.
Killerbee's original readme (well, actually this document!) is included for historical purposes, and it's historical background on the Fast FACs.
Have fun!!

Malaysian Skyhawks - A-4PTM/TA-4PTM

Malaysian Scooters - A-4PTM/TA-4PTM for SF2 - v1.0
==================================================
*** any SF2 that has the A-4F for the cockpit and DLC019 required for the A-4L model ***
The Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia (TUDM, or Royal Malaysian Air Force) ordered 88 surplus Skyhawks (25 A-4Cs and 63 A-4Ls) in 1980. The TUDM wanted these planes refurbished into 54 single-seaters and 14 two-seaters. However, the US government placed a temporary hold on the sale, and escalating costs due to inflation resulted in a cut in the order to only 40 aircraft.
Grumman Aerospace at St. Augustine, Florida was given the contract to perform the rework on the TUDM Skyhawks. The rework included a complete rewiring, plus two extra underwing hardpoints similar to A-4E and later Skyhawks. A refurbished J65-W-20 engine was fitted. Updated electronics were also fitted, including the AN/ARN-118 TACAN, a SAAB RGS-2A lead computing weapons sight, a Lear Siegler altitude heading reference system, and an AN/ARC-164 UHF transceiver. The A-4Cs were fitted with the dorsal avionics hump. aswell as wing spoilers. A drag chute was installed below the tailpipe. A new canopy was fitted, which was slightly bulged at the sides. Some of the aircraft received preparations for the Hughes AN/ASB-19 Angles Rate Bombing System, aswell as provisions for AGM-65 Maverick missiles, but both were actually never used with these planes. Provisions for the use of AIM-9 Sidewinders were incorporated on the outer wing pylons. In the end, Grumman modified 34 aircraft. They were assigned the designation A-4PTM (where PTM stood for Peculiar to Malaysia, other sources say Persekutan Tanah Melayu - Federation of Malay States). The A-4PTM flew for the first time on April 12, 1984 and modified planes were assigned the TUDM serials of M32-07 to M32-40.
Six A-4C/A-4L airframes were converted into two-place Skyhawks. This was done by inserting a 28-inch plug into the fuselage. Canopy and tandem seating arrangements were generally similar to those of the Douglas-built TA-4s. These planes were designated TA-4PTM. The TA-4PTM also featured five underwing pylons. The first TA-4PTM took off on its maiden flight on August 28, 1984. The six TA-4PTMs were given the TUDM serials of M32-01 to M32-06. Since they were based on the earlier A-4C/L, the 6 planes were among the few two-seaters, that used the J65 engine (together with early TA-4S from Singapore).
Deliveries began in 1985 and were completed by February 1986. A-4PTMs served with No 6 and 9 Squadrons, both based at Kuantan AB, while TA-4PTMs served only with No 6 Squadron. Their service with the TUDM was quite brief. In 1989, it was announced that they were going to be withdrawn from service and replaced by British Aerospace Hawk Mk.208s in late 1994. Six Skyhawks were retained as tanker aircraft, using a centerline Douglas D-704 external buddy tank.
By September 1999, the TUDM Skyhawks were no longer operational, and were derelict at the Royal Malaysian Air Force Base at Kuantan.
Little information are available about those planes, so I tried to come as close as possible to the real ones. Cockpit is a heavily modded A-4F-cockpit modded around the fact, that the radarscreen was deleted and many intruments were rearranged to fill the space. According to Lt. Khoo those planes didn't have any countermeasures (no ECM, no Chaff/Flare-Dispensers) and probably no RWR. To add some survivability I deceided to leave RWR in the mod. ECM and Dispenser is commented out in the data.ini, so if you want to add those, just remove the //-bits.
If you now ask, why the hell do we need a mod of this plane, if it barely can survive in the timeframe it was used? We do not, but I made it, because I could :P I like this plane, because it always was one of the lesser known variants of this well-known plane and for me it is one of the best-looking Skyhawks out there. So, I hope you have some fun with the Jungle Scooter. :)

CP-122 Neptune

By 1977Frenchie

Royal Canadian Air Force Neptune Mod for SFP2 v1.0 (CP-122)
*** This is a mod of the original P-2H (P2V-7) released by Tracker and the Argentine Modders Group ***
This Mod represent the CP-122 Neptune of the RCAF :
You fill find the complete aircraft in this package.
404,405 and 407 Squadrons
Early (AB + 3)
Early (RCAF + 3)
Late (RCAF + 3)
All decals are made by me. I redraw the panel lines and rivets.
Serials are real one's but not squadron specific.
Background :
The Canadian version of the Lockheed Neptune (P2V7) served as an anti-submarine, anti-shipping and maritime reconnaissance aircraft in the RCAF Maritime Air Command from 1955, replacing the Avro Lancaster maritime aircraft. The Canadian P2V7 was fitted with piston engines initially, although, in 1959, the Neptunes had two underwing Westinghouse J34 jet engine pods retrofitted, similar to those fitted to US Navy variants. Armament included two torpedoes, mines, depth charges, bombs carried internally plus unguided rockets mounted externally underwing. A total of 25 Neptunes served with nos. 404, 405 and 407 squadrons until 1960. Upon unification of the Canadian Forces in 1968, the Neptune was retired and retroactively re-designated the CP122, The RCAF Neptune was replaced by the Canadair CP-107 Argus in the same year.

Special Hercules Over Vietnam

By yakarov79

This is extra pack of special versions of C-130 Hercules used by USAF during Vietnam War period.
Pack contains all required models and it is based on Dels great new C-130 Pack + update available here on Combat Ace.
http://combatace.com/files/file/16427-c-130-hercules-superpack/
update here:
http://combatace.com/files/file/16480-c-130-hercules-superpack-add-on-1/
All skins are based on templates by Dels and are done in 2048x2048 format.
Credits:
Original model + pit model: Dels
C-130 fake pilot mods, AQM-drones, Cargo 1800gal fule tank and DC-130 pylons: yakarov
Pack contains:
C-130E(I) Combat Talon I.
In 1965-1966 Big Safari program started programs Skyhook / Stray Goose programs resulting in series of modifications to C-130E airframes as Fulton Recovery System and AN/APQ-115 TF/TA Radar.
On 8 September 1966, Stray Goose deployed 4 aircrafts and personnel to Southeast Asia as Combat Spear unit under PACAF as Detachment 1 314th Troop Carrier Wing. Aircrafts operated from Nha Trang AB in Vietnam. and became first Combat talon aircrafts used in combat.
C-130E(i) Combat Talon I
HC-130P Combat Shadow.
In mid-1966 flight testing began of rescue helicopters equipped with aerial refueling receivers, and 11 HC-130H - the controller aircraft were modified as tankers and redesignated the HC-130P. SAR, Command and Control/vertical lift (helicopter) aerial refueling aircraft, entering service in Southeast Asia in November 1966.
Amid few original ARRS units this set covers painting and decals of 39th ARRS.
DC-130A & DC-130E.
Operations over China and Vietnam could not be succesfulf if not drones operated by 350th SRS . Three C-130As (56-0527, 56-0514 and 57-0461) and three C-130Es (61-2368, 61-2369 and 61-2371) were converted in the 1965-6 timeframe. It is possible that the DC-130As were intended for tactical drone operations and the more powerful and longer ranged DC-130Es were intended for strategic operations with 'big winged' Model 147s over China. The DC-130As generally migrated to test activities after the war and the DC-130Es, after serving with the 432nd TDG, rejoined the transport fleet as C-130Es.
During service in Vietnam all DC-130A were later retrofitted with four bladed Hamilton Standard props.
Ive made all decals for all versions covering years of use in USAF service based on available reference materials.
So all serial numbers are historicaly correct.
National and squadron markings as always in my case are painted on skins.

I did not include any new bump or specular maps. Great stuff for replacment can be found in Kulbit80 pack:
http://combatace.com/files/file/16489-vmgr-152-hi-viz-skin-for-kc-130f/
As weapons AQM-34 - is EOGR missile - can be anything it will not work as drone anyway).
Pylons are set as TLR - to acomodate EOGR -but somehow there is option to load one drone - do not use it. as it will apear somewhere in middle of aircraft.
AQM-34 Drones covers three versions:
G- ECM version equipped with ALE-2 chaff dispening pods.
L-low-altitude photo recce
Q- big wing ELINT version
In HC version refueling drogue is deployed at speed near 120kts. (to simulate refueling helicopters too.)
Note:
In this pack (unlike original Dels C-130) JATO is activated by vector thrust controll (similiar as in latest Tu-22 pack)

report bugs.

RF-86A Sabre of the Korean War Poject Ashtray.

There is one zipped file for SF2 and one for SF1 in this download package.

Information on this project is and it's predecessor, Project Honeybucket, is schetchy.

Remove any or all guns as you desire.

Credit and Thanks to:
Zur - for the F-86 model and drop tanks.
yakarov79 - for the fake pilot 3D cameras, photos and project info.

FastCargo - for the Fake Pilot.
Geary - for new panel lines, rivets, paint, ini modifications, etc...

The cameras on the SF2 model are 3D .lods using .jpg format texture.
As the .lod's and .jpg's aren't recognized by SF1, those cameras are painted on.

If I forget or miss anyone who deserves credit for anything I release, I apologize. I have no intent to abuse or misuse anyone's work or property or claim it as my own. Please contact me to correct any error.

INSTALLATION: Unzip to a folder/place of your choice. Copy, Move, Drag-n-Drop or do whatever you wish to get the folders into their corresponding folders in your Korean War install.

Douglas DC-8 series By Veltro2k

This mod features three versions of the Douglas DC-8 jetliner and historical skinsets from introduction in the early '60s through the mid '80s. A little something for eye candy around the airfields or to run intercepts on.

Versions
*DC-8 representing the original DC-8-10/20/30/40 versions with the quieting tubes on the exhaust
*DC-8-50 representing the final short fuselage version and JT3D engines without quieting tubes
*DC-8-60 representing two of the final new build versions with stretched fuselage.
*several historical skinsets for all models
*flight and nations ini edits to allow airliner nation and a spaced out in line formation

Installation
unzip and load into mods folder. allow merging

Known Issues
* The cockpit is the same pit as in all V2k's big jet planes. Not proper but the plane was meant for eye candy not regular missions
* The DC-8-50 model has a seam running along the spine. Until Veltro makes an appearance again this will be there. It is not noticeable at a distance
*This is a huge mod (4 1/2 GB) due to how i've made the skins, or specifically the tgas for the fuselage.It takes a bigger decal to paint the side of an airliner

Credits
Veltro2k original model
daddyairplanes skin and tga work, some ini edits
stratos, whiteknight06604 last chance, eyes on testing

I hope you enjoy this mod as much as i enjoyed making it

F-105B Thunderchief (Stand in)

By dtmdragon

Republic F-105B Thunderchief (Stand in)

Uses the TW F-105D model as a stand in with the following mods:

- Removed nose pitot tube and added one to the left outer wing via fakepilot method.

- Data.ini edits (weight, thrust, service year etc).

- Ranging radar only.

- Re-painted and re-panel lined the nose to re-shape it into that of the F-105B.

- Moved cannon port.

- Canopy can open.

- Removed bombay fuel tank.

- Cockpit is from the F-84F as the F-105B did not have the 'tape' style instruments or a radar scope like the F-105D

- Added 'fighter sweep' mission as if a shooting war had developed during the Cuban Missile Crisis some of the 4th TFW F-105B Squadrons were tasked with an Air Superiority role.

- One generic USAF silver skin using stock decals and another for the 335th TFS, 4th TFW that forward deployed to Macoy AFB during the October 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

To Install:

- Un-pack and drop into your mods folder.

Credits:

- TW for the F-105D.

- Sundowner for the template.

- Zurawski & Gunrunner for the cockpit.

Nort American Harvard Mk.II

By paulopanz

The North American Aviation T-6 Texan is a single-engined advanced trainer aircraft used
to train pilots of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF), United States Navy, Royal
Air Force and other air forces of the British Commonwealth during World War II and into
the 1970s. Designed by North American Aviation, the T-6 is known by a variety of designations
depending on the model and operating air force.
The United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) and USAAF designated it as the AT-6,
the United States Navy the SNJ, and British Commonwealth air forces, the Harvard,
the name it is best known by outside of the US

WHAT'S IN

- Old Bunyap post WWII Harvard revamped
- a plenty of new/restored skins & decals

RJAF (1), RNAF (2), RNZAF (5), RRhAF (2), SAAF (9), SyAF (2), TuAF (1), Yemen (1)
- pilots

KNOWN ISSUE:

- Shadows disabled, but pilots and weapons set not to cast shadows too

NOTE:

- SAAF camo Harvards had not markings when on war theatre. So you will be free to remore decals.ini

CREDITS:

- Bunyap: model
- Wrench: a lot of previous precious work included and upgraded here. Great Kev!

USAF A-37B Pack

By daddyairplanes

A-37B USAF Pack
This is the current end point for two years worth of work. Centurion-1 began by creating a new model for the Super Tweet, several contributors later we are releasing it to you

Included are decals, new J85 sound, an updated squadronlist.ini, appropriate weapons, and 3 versions of the aircraft.
- A-37B: the original, as used by the USAF, Air National Guard, and several Latin American air arms. no refuel probe
- A-37B (76): adds refuel probe, as used by US ANG and USAF Reserve units the second half of the 1970s
- OA-37B: Final version as in US service, and as currently used by Latin American air arms. With refuel probe
- Photoshop templates for those that want to bring the other air forces into play

**********************************KNOWN ISSUES***********************************************************
-Cockpit is missing throttles. Unless Centruion1 returns this is unresolveable
-Lod is locked in, unless Centurion-1 returns.
-Modders: there is a bleed issue on the right side. any bands like the VNAF had need to be on skin, not tga. small decals like insignia work fine.
-This mod uses my master squadronlist.ini. IF installed into another install with other than stock squadronlist, do not install. It will mess up the other things on your install and my mod is adapted to force the decals.

NOTICE: this mod currently is AS IS and can only be modded by skinning and ini edits. It's not perfect, but its
in house and therefore free.
********************************************************************************************************************************
Installation: drop into mod folders. allow overwrites if it comes up. Delete DAT version, this replaces and upgrades player experience. Modders, put the templates where you wish to work on them
DON'T FORGET TO BACK UP BEFORE INSTALLING!

****************NOTE!!!!!! IMPORTANT NOTE *************************************************************

If you install this in a install that has eburgers SF2V Air & Ground Expansion Pack, DO NOT INSTALL THE PILOTDATA FOLDER!!!! This will overwrite the Squadronlist.ini in the pack and may break something. If you do not have the Air&Ground pack or NATO Fighters installed the new squadronlist ini will work fine and be a big improvement for units available.

Background on the Rivet Haste project:

With the soft (slatted) wing, the pinkie switch (basically the very first HOTAS), and the TISEO modifications for the F-4E, the USAF realized it had the tools to make its fighter pilots more lethal. In the late summer of 1972, the Rivet Haste program was established. Rivet Haste would be the Air Force's acknowledgement that years of substandard training and poor doctrine had to be reversed. Rivet Haste combined the slatted wing, TISEO, and 556 mod of the F-4E and teamed them up with handpicked crews with combat experience over Vietnam. They were assembled at Nellis AFB and here the key of Rivet Haste would take place- intensive training with the new F-4Es against the secret MiG force that Air Force flew out of Tonopah north of Las Vegas. Each Rivet Haste crew were paired up to stay together through training to deployment for combat- this allowed the pilot and his WSO to develop their own system of coordination in the cockpit and carry that to combat. Six pilots and six WSOs were in each Rivet Haste group and each pilot/WSO would fly at least three missions against the MiGs at Tonopah. Each month, a new group of six pilots and six WSOs were assigned to Rivet Haste. Crews assigned to Rivet Haste saw it as a quantum leap in air combat training that the USAF had never had before. Unfortunately they arrived in Vietnam to late to score any air-to air-kills and only flew a handful of Linebacker II missions before the end of the war.
