Soviet Origin

SF2 Soviet Transport and AWAC Aircraft by Veltro2K
 
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
 
This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's Soviet/WarPac Transport and AWAC aircraft.
It is REQUIRED that you have SF2NA in your merged install, as several of these reference
the stock 3W Tu-95 Bear destroyed model. Some reference the stock 3W An-12 destroyed
model. Hence, the need for a Full 5 Merged install. It is usable without, but you won't
have the dead wreckage on the ground. Also, the AWAC versions use the "AEW" avionics
coding from SF2NA.
 
Included in the pak are remods of:
 
An-22 Cock
A-50 Mainstay AWAC
IL-76 Candid
Tu-114 Cleat (Aeroflot airliner)
Tu-126 Moss AWAC
 
Aircraft that were exported have userlist inis included (ie: the Il-76). Any that I
missed, End Users ™ are encouraged to 'fill in the blanks', and post those changes.
All avionics, in particular for the AWACs, have been brought up SF2NA standards at the
July 2012 patch level. New sounds for the prop engines are included. Although cockpits ARE
included for all aircraft, really people...let the AI handle them. They exist for 2
reasons: eye candy and targets.
Skins remain in their bmp format, and decal radomization is set to TRUE. All decals
reference stock markings, including the Bort numbers. New damage textures are supplied, in
DDS format.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read
them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read, in particular on operational usage.
The Legal Statement has been changed with regards to these aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, as there HAVE been changes and additions
in several of the inis, you may wish to examine them, mostly in respect to SF2NA, you may wish
to replace the originals with these.
 
**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems
that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be
created**.
 
Happy Landings!

A variety of MiG-15 variants were built, but the most common was the MiG-15UTI (NATO reporting name "Midget") two-seat trainer.
Because Mikoyan-Gurevich never mass-produced the transition training versions of the later MiG-17 or MiG-19, the MiG-15UTI remained the sole Warsaw Pact advanced jet trainer well into the 1970s.

The Tupolev Tu-2 was a medium bomber used by Soviet Air Force in WW2. Surplus Tu-2s were delivered to Chinese PLAAF post-war and organized into 3 bomber air divisions. During the Korean War, the 8th and 10th division conducted 3 air raids on Nov. 6th, 29th and 30th, 1951, against UN troops on Taehwa-do island, located about 70km southeast of the mouth of Yalu River. The first raid was most successful achieving acclaimed 90% hit rate. The third raid was intercepted by 4th FIW Sabres with heavy losses. Daylight sorties with prop driven bombers were thus phased out by both sides in the jet age.

The Su-15 "Flagon" was developed to replace the less capables Su-9/11 in the homeland interception duties, among the improvements were twin engines, side mounted intakes to replace the nose one.
 
The plane was powered with 2 Tumanski R-11F2S-300 engines.
 
The side intakes change allowed to mount the more powerful RP-22 Oryol-D (NATO 'Skip Spin') in the nose.
 
The initial delta wing in this plane had poor take-off and landing characteristics, so, a later variant was developed.
 
******** The SF2 plane ***********
 
The model used was made by Boopidoo who i thank for it, some ini edits were made by me.
 
The AA-3 Missiles were tweaked by Snailman to make them less dumb, thanks to him too :D
 
2 High 4096x4096 res skins were made by me with a whole, new, more detailed template, available if requested, the first skin depicts some examples of the 57th IAP, 10th OA PVO, based in Norilsk, and the other belongs to the Red Falcons Aerobatic team of the 60´s, this ones never carried bort numbers, info collected by Loborojo, who also i thank for the it.
 
This variant was never applied tactical camouflage and was kept natural metal, i wasn´t able to collect info about the stencils, so, if anyone has it and want to share i will update the planes and will credit him/her.
 
This plane is made mainly for high speed interceptions, so if you ran out of missiles and got into troubles and don´t want to ram your objective (which sometimes the soviet pilots were instructed to do so), dive as low as you can and run for home, missiles weren´t too reliables at that time and a gun was loooong needed, so that will be corrected in the next variant.
 
If i forget to mention anyone who worked in the plane, my apologies, just let me know and i will correct it.
 
 
 
Hope you have fun with it.

The Sukhoi Su-17 (NATO reporting name: Fitter) is a Soviet variable-sweep wing fighter-bomber developed from the Sukhoi Su-7.
It enjoyed a long career in Soviet, later Russian, service and was widely exported to Eastern Bloc, Arab air forces, Angola
and Peru as the Su-20 and Su-22. It is the first variable-sweep wing of Soviet origin.
These are earlier models.
What's In:
7 Flyable planes
Su-17
Su-17K
Su-17M
Su-17M2
Su-20
Su-20R
Su=22
New Skins, Decals
Weapons, pilots, sounds
Credits:
- original model: Amokfloo
- first SF-2 pack: Eburger68
- new templates, skins, decats, tweaks etc: Paulopanz
Install:
- delete any previous version
- all in your mod folder
Note:
I started working on this plane many years ago. As the model was good I asked only for deleting dorsal antenna.
All things stopped when someone told me a bigger project was started about ALL Sukhois family.
In fact I saw a lot of fantastic pictures about it, but years went by and no Sukhoi was realised.
So I lost any hope about it and decided to finish up my very ancient skinpack using Y. Gordon book.
This plane has the same dorsal antenna I wanted to delete, but I think is quite good, now in a far better dressing than original one and this is the only one Sukhoi we have to fit in all comunity scenarios.
I hope you like!

The production of the MiG-21s in India under license by Hindustan Aeronautics in Nasik started
with the MiG-21FL in 1966 in four phases starting with the assembly of CKD kits, moving on to
subassemblies, parts, and finally advancing to production from scratch.
 
205 MiG-21FLs, designated Type 77 and nicknamed Trishul ("Trident), were built in India between
1966 and 1972; the first one built entirely from Indian-made components was delivered to the IAF
on 19 October 1970, with the first Indian-made R11F2S-300 powerplant leaving the assembly line
on 2 January 1969.
 
In the late 1970s, the IAF began acquiring MiG-21M/MFs, consequently a large part of the MiG-21FL
fleet were sent into storage.
However in the mid-1980s, these FLs were pulled out of storage and retrofitted with two extra
pylons and were fitted with IFF-400 antennas(on the nose).
 
Whats's in:
 
- two flyable planes
 
- Type 77 with GP-9 gunpod (13 skins)
 
- Type 77 (late) with 4 pylons and IFF-400 antenna (5 skins)
 
- MiG-21 cockpit
 
- IAF Pilot (76.IAP-Blackbird's reworked)
 
- New Mig-21FL userlist without India
 
- Dedicated sounds
 
- Historical Serial Numbers
 
 
canopy opens as usual with 10 key.
 
Known Issues: none
 
- White 'ghosts' in the cockpit - solved!
 
 
To Install:

Yak-38M Forger-C
*****************
This mod is made for SF2NA.
 
----------------------------------------------------------
I.
 
The Yak-38M was the modernized version of the Yak-38. It got stronger engines and an improved weapon system. It was able to deliver missiles of the KH-25 missile family.
First flight was in 1982.
It entered the service in 1985.
 
 
To make it possible to start from the carriers of the Kiev class i had to modify the Kiev's too. I moved the starting position and added a lot of arrestor wires, so that the Yak's can land on deck. It is not perfect.
Vertical take off is at the moment impossible, because the FM cant handle lift engines very well. Only the AI plane on start possition 3 makes a vertical take off, but i dont know why. It is not intended to do so.

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 (NATO reporting name: "Fagot") is a jet fighter developed for the Soviet Union by Mikoyan-Gurevich OKB.
The MiG-15 was one of the first successful swept-wing jet fighters, and it achieved fame in the skies over Korea, where early in the war, it outclassed all straight-winged enemy fighters in most applications.
The MiG-15 also served as the starting point for development of the more advanced MiG-17.
The MiG-15 is believed to have been one of the most widely produced jet aircraft ever made, with over 12,000 built.
Licensed foreign production perhaps raised the total to over 18,000.
The MiG-15 is often mentioned along with the North American F-86 Sabre as among the best fighter aircraft of the Korean War and in comparisons with fighters of other eras.
 
Inside this 1st pack:
 
- MiG-15 "Fagot A" (S-102/Lim-1/J-2) first production version flyable using Stary's magnificent pit;
- MiG-15SB "Fagot A" czech single-seat fighter bomber version using Spillone's perfect pylons;
- 28 all around the world users skins;
- a tonn of historical decals;
- all data tweaked;

- screens;
 
Operations:

- N-37 gun flagged as secondary gun for better ammunitions sparing;
- MiG-15.ini file is locked to add new skins right click and allow editing;
- Restore settings for post patch flyable recovery provided;
Credits:
 
- Tk (aka Tw) for the underated Exp. 2;
- Stary for the long awaited great pit;

The Tupolev Tu-160 'White Swan'; NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. It is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built and second only to the comparable XB-70 Valkyrie in overall length.It is the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber now in use and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.
Entering service in 1987, the Tu-160 was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union. As of 2016, the Russian Air Force's Long Range Aviation branch has at least 16 aircraft in service. The Tu-160 active fleet has been undergoing upgrades to electronics systems since the early 2000s. The Tu-160M modernisation programme has begun with the first updated aircraft delivered in December 2014.

THIS MODEL IS ONLY TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE AND IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL IT BE USED, EVEN IN PART OF ANYTHING THAT IS PAYWARE. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT

This is a mod from Wrench and Ghostrider883 (decals as Wrench believes) of the current version of the Indian AF MiG-21. features include new radar, and the ability to launch the R-77 (AA-12 Adder) and A2G missiles as well as other ordnance. Bear in mind that the pit is a stand in only until somebody does a more dedicated cockpit for this bird. It was for the Indo-Pak mod but since I converted it for SF2 Wrench gave me the go-ahead for it, so here it is...

The Yakovlev Yak-15, NATO reporting name: Feather, was a first-generation
Soviet turbojet fighter developed by the Yakovlev design bureau (OKB) im-
mediately after World War II.
It used a reverse-engineered German Junkers Jumo 004 engine.
Along with the Swedish Saab 21R, it was one of only two jets to be success-
fully converted from a piston-powered aircraft and enter production.
280 aircraft were built in 1947.
Although nominally a fighter, it was mainly used to qualify piston-engine-
experienced pilots to fly jets.
 
@ Original Pasko's model (as just edited by Wrench, Eburger and so on,
excuse me if I don't remember all) 2012 rebuilt:
 
- tail mapping bug fixed
- rudder mapping main bug fixed
- front wings upside-down mapping bug solved
- Inner cockpit corners ouside canopy painted
 
- Stary's cockpit fitted in place (thank You man!)
- a better pilot seat added
- 13 historical skins made/fixed
- 2 original fictional camo skin revamped
- a whole new decalset
- new hangar & loadout pics
 
Enjoy
@ Paul

The Yak-23 was developed as a simple lightweight jet fighter, on Yakovlev's own initiative.
It was a development of the earlier Yak-15 and Yak-17 fighters, retaining their non-conventional layout with a jet engine in the fuselage nose and exhaust under the cockpit, but the construction was all new.
Its wings were derived from the Yak-19.
The Yak-23 used a Soviet copy of the British Rolls-Royce Derwent V turbojet engine, produced as the Klimov RD-500. It first flew on July 8, 1947.
After successful flights, it underwent state trials in 1948 and was accepted for series production.
It was evaluated as highly maneuverable, with a good acceleration and take-off and climb capabilities thanks to high thrust-to-weight ratio.
Faults were poor directional stability at speeds around Mach 0.86 and lack of cockpit pressurization.
Despite being one of the best straight-wing jet fighters, it was inferior to new swept-wing designs.

il-38N "May"
The Il-38N is an adaptation of the four-engined turboprop Ilyushin Il-18 for use as a maritime patrol aircraft for the Soviet Navy. It meets a requirement to counter American ballistic missile submarines. The Communist Party Central Committee and the Council of Ministers issued a joint directive on 18 June 1960, calling for a prototype to be ready for trials by the second quarter of 1962. The fuselage, wing, tail unit and engine nacelles were the same as the Il-18 and it had the same powerplant and flightdeck. An aerodynamic prototype of the Il-38 first flew on 28 September 1961,with the first production aircraft following in September 1967. Production continued until 1972, when the longer range and more versatile Tupolev Tu-142 derivative of the Tupolev Tu-95 strategic bomber had entered service.This is the Improved variant sometimes referred to as Il-38SD for Sea Dragon the new search and tracking system.
