Soviet Origin

IL-28R
 
After Ilyushin had developed a two-pilot trainer version of the Il-28 Beagle,
they turned their attention to developing a reconnaissance version known as the Il-28R which first flew on 19 Apr 1950.
The Il-28R was equipped with a camera suite in the bomb bay, together with mountings for am portside oblique camera in the rear fuselage.
Various day or night cameras could be carried and for night photography 12 flares were also carried in the rear of the bomb bay.
Fitting a larger fuselage fuel tank, which abutted into the rear of the bomb bay and by adding wingtip tanks, increased the range of the Il-28R.
Although the rear tail gunner was retained, the right nose cannon was removed and replaced with camera controls – the bomb aiming radar was also removed.
Production of the Il-28R was authorised in late 1951 and it soon entered VVS service.

Su-17M Fitter-C For SF2

Installation:
------------------------
 
Simply extract the contents of the Su-17M folder into your Mods\StrikeFighters2 folder.
Shift 0 will open and close the canopy.
 
Position and Tail Lights have been added, and the Position Lights move with the wing sweep. The FM was tweaked to correct a tendency for the aircraft to
flop to one side. It turns out the problem was caused by a negative Ymac value (Ymac = Mean Area Chord in Y axis) for the Right Wing and Right Stab.
Correcting those two values to a positive value completely eliminated the flopping problem, and significantly improved the feeling of the flight model.
This bird flies really nicely, and is a real joy to throw around the sky. Amokfloo did a very nice job with the original FM, model, and skin.
Gepard's Su-20 Egypt Desert Camo skin was altered to use Soviet decals, and would look right at home over an Afghan install.
The weapon stations and Loadout.ini have been adjusted to reflect the capabilities of the Su-17M Fitter-C version of this distinguished warbird.
The RWR is audio only.
 
This is a very nice model by Amokfloo, and a "must have" addition for any Red Air enthusiast.

Sukhoi Su-15TM Flagon-F v2.02 For SF2
 
by Boopidoo and team
 
---History---
The Sukhoi Su-15 was developed primarily because of the Soviet Unions great need for a capable high-speed high-altitude interceptor in the 1950's. The Sukhoi design bureu was tasked with the construction of the swept-wing S-1 tactical fighter and the delta-winged T-3 interceptor.
 
The Su-1 'Fitter' which first flew in 1955 later developed into the Su-7 which in turn developed into the very successful Su-17,20,22 variable wing geometry attack aircrafts.
 
The T-3 on the other hand developed into the Su-7 'Fishpot'. Unfortunately the Su-9 lacked performance in both operational range as well as radar range. This led to the development of the Su-15 'Flagon', not counting the half-failure of Su-11 (a bigger version of the Su-9). The Su-15 after lots of prototypes first flew operationally in 1965. During it's operational time it guarded the Soviet Unions borders right up until the desintegration of the USSR.
 
Production of the T-model began in 1971 and that later became TM with the modernised Taifun-M radar. The Su-15 had at this point evolved with extended wings to lower the high approroach speed and a spherical nosecone to make room for the bigger radar. The TM also had smaller inner weapon pylons under the wings to carry R-60 (AA-8 APHID) missiles, this was done to satisfy the need of a dogfighting capability. To further increase it's overall capability the under fuselage pylons were upgraded to being able to carry gunpods, attack rockets, rocket pods and bombs up to 500kg. Since only the gunpods has been used and has a functional fire-control system the other loadouts options must be seen as theoretical, although the carrying capability's still there.
 
 
---Install guide---
Simply extract the contents of the Su-15TM folder into your Mods\StrikeFighters2 folder.
Chaff and flares have been added so you can spend more time flying, and less time dying!

---Special thanks to---
Invaluable testing by MoonJumper and kreelin which inspired me to improve the model way beyond my initial goals. Thanks Volksjaeger, Eruyi & Hawkwind for help with the original model. Armourdave gave me a lot of invaluable help and support, thanks David! Thanks to Mago for help and tutoring regarding Soviet avionics and especially the RWR.
 
Without the help from you guys of the column5.us and SimHQ.com forums this wouldn't have happened.

Mig-21M
 
 
The Mig-21M (modernizeerovannyy) was the export version of the Mig-21S (Sapfeer-21 radar), the first fighter of the third generation Mig-21s.
 
Both NATO nickname was Fishbed-J, the engine was the Soyuz R11F2S-300.
 
It differed from the domestic version in two important respects: the downgraded (simplified) avionics and the built-in GSh-23L gun.
 
The Mig-21MF (modernizeerovannyy forseerovannyy), the export version of the Mig-21SM (S-modernizeerovannyy), all named Fishbed-J too, had the more powerfull engine Soyuz R13-300, the rear view periscope and two blast deflectors below the blow-in doors.
 
The Mig-21M was exported in East Germany (87), Poland (36), Czechoslovakia (24), Romania (60), Yugoslavia (25), Bulgaria (15), Syria (12), Egypt (12) and India.
 
The IAF had 65 Soviet-built Mig-21M (izdeliye 96) were called in India Mig-21MF, but the Indian-built Type-88(izdeliye 96F) , very similar to soviet Mig-21MF, was called Mig-21M , that caused some misunderstandings …..
 
This is taken from Yefim Gordon’s Mig-21 masterpiece.
 
There was’nt in TW/TK simulations.
 
So I started from the Mig-21MF and removed the periscope and the blast deflectors, changed the engine stats (data taken from previous Mig-21S mod), made some other editings (performances and weapons) took some stock MF skins (Soviet, Syrian and Eaf), made new ones and historical known serial numbers.
 
I was not able to remove periscope from inside the cockpit, if someone could , do it please.
 
Because some Mig-21M were sometime “retrofitted” with periscope and blast plates, I included in the pack a dedicated “retrofitted” data.ini. You have only to change it with the stock one.
In this way the plane is identical in shape to Mig-21MF.
 
In fact the IAF planes were “retrofitted”.
 
 
*** * ***
 
The new skins included:
 
1) LSK Silver & Camo with historical serial numbers (made on Souli’s original work as usual) and “Q” quality marks on appropriate planes;
2) PWL Silver with historical serial numbers;
3) Yugo Silver with historical serial numbers;
4) IAF Silver & Camo with known historical serial numbers;
5) FAR Silver with historical serial numbers;
 
Stock Soviet, EAF and Syrian skin included.
 
Credits (I hope no mistake ..):
 
- Ordway for his wonderfull cockipt;
- Spillone-104 for dedicated sound;
- Soulfreak for LSK stencils
 
To install: simply put everithing in your mod SF-2 folder.
 
Pictures and Screenshots as usual.
 
Happy fly.
Paolo
 
 
 
 
P.S. this is an "open mod" everyone can help with historical references or FM tuning.
