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.

(1. to be continued ......)

The Ilyushin Il-10 (NATO reporting name: "Beast") was a Soviet ground attack aircraft developed at the end of World War II by the Ilyushin construction bureau.It was also license-built in Czechoslovakia by Avia as the Avia B-33.
After the war, until the early 1950s, the Il-10 was a basic Soviet ground attack aircraft. It was withdrawn from service in 1956.
The Il-10 and its licensed variant, the Avia B-33, became a basic ground attack plane of the Warsaw Pact countries. From 1949 to 1959, the Polish Air Force used 120 Il-10s (including 24 UIl-10), and 281 B-33s.
In Poland, the B-33 was modified to carry 400 l fuel tanks under its wings. From 1950 to 1960, Czechoslovakia used 86 Il-10s, including six UIl-10s, and about 600 B-33s. From 1949 to 1956, the Hungarian Air Force used 159 Il-10s and B-33s, named "Párduc" (Panther). From 1950 to 1960, the Romanian Air Force used 14 Il-10s and 156 B-33s. Bulgaria also used these aircrafts.
 
In the late 1940s, 93 Il-10 and UIl-10s were given to North Korea. They were then used in the 57th Assault Aviation Regiment during the early phase of the Korean War. They were initially used with success against the weak anti-aircraft defense of South Korean forces (following the US refusal to supply the south with "heavy weapons"), but then they suffered heavy losses in encounters against the USAAF fighters and were bombed on the ground themselves. After several weeks, about 20 remained. In the summer of 1950, North Korea received more aircraft from the USSR. The North Koreans claimed to sink a warship on 22 August 1950 with Il-10s, but it was never confirmed.
From 1950, Il-10s were used by the People's Republic of China, in two regiments of an assault aviation division. They were used in combat during a conflict with the Republic of China, (Taiwan), over border islands in January 1955. They remained in service until 1972 (replaced by Nanchang Q-5). From 1957, Yemen used 24 B-33s.
 
 
As we realy needed this plane for every early cold war scenery (KAW, SF2EU, TSF, Taiwan, Timor ....) I decided to finish it at all cost and skin in every known post war liveries.
This is a real team work (see credits)

PS: The "Párduc" is for Gaunt, my personal Hungarian expert and friend. This realise was eagerly waited by Jonathan: here you are old viking let's go.

Soviet Navy Vertical Pack 1.00
 
This is the first complete version of the Vertical Pack, now including the Yak-41M (also known by its commercial designation as Yak-141). I have modeled the plane as if it was deployed into combat units with its military designation Yak-41M. The plane served aboard the aircraft cruisers Novorossiysk and Baku, and on the aircraft carriers Tbilisi and Riga, from 1991-2010.
This is a fine tuned or modified collection of everything I could find to improve the planes.
I lot of time was invested in research and testing to provide you a working and accurate Yak-38/38M and Yak-41M. All feedback and suggestions are appreciated.
 
Install
 
I tried to include every component I have used with the planes, so it should work with a fresh unmodded SF2:NA. If you have DirX 9 and Win XP, then you also need Gerwin's IcelandNA modded terrain for XP to be able to play SF2NA on your PC.
 
Just copy everything into your designated add-on folder and it should work. Beware it may overwrite existing add-on files and components you already have. Check it first, especially weapons.

Fixed
 
- Fixed Yak-41M engines, flight model, balance, lift force, fuel amount, range, aerodynamics, slats, loadout, undercarriage spring effect, weapon station structure, nav lights and sound. Also some HUD/Avionics graphics changes.
- Mi-8 skin minor fixes + new template
- Yak-38 Northern Fleet skin (dark blue) colors changed.
- Yak-41M minor 3D fixes (Lift engine cover, LERX, texture mapping, canopy glass, pylons)
- Fixed ranges and seeker head of AA-10 Alamo missiles, as well as some minor bugs in inis
- Fixed Kh-29T and Kh-29L missile speeds and turn rate.
- Fixed AA-12 Adder (Folded version) launch animation entry in data.ini
 
Changes
 
- Yak-38/38M New weapon station stucture to exlude some IRM types.
- Yak-38/38M loadouts modified with Delta-NG

- Kiev aircraft cruiser STOL version has been added. It uses a more realistic launch arrangement. This "variant" of the ship is now Kiev (82) class, added separately for campaign use. In 1982 pilots have started to use STOL takeoff doctrine. The "catapult" launch places has been reduced to two, and are using the majority of the deck, along the two converging yellow lines which have this exact purpose. The ship otherwise the same like Kiev (wo. suffix) VTOL mode.
- Separate Flight Manuals in text files.
- Yak-38/38M flight model has been simplified with the usage of center-of-mass shift. I did not know that feature earlier. It has no change on the previous flight performance.
- Mi-8T added lights and optional unarmed version without pylons.

Contents
 
- Paladrian's MiG-21MF cockpit (temporary solution)
- Yak-38 VTOL flyable.
- Yak-38M VTOL flyable.
- Weapons: OFAB-100, 250, 500 etc from SovietBombPack; Kh-23 missiles, UB-8M, UPK-23 gun pod and MBD2 racks from Ordnance Shop II; APU-60-1 rack from Cocas

- Three Kiev_data.ini's one for STOL and one for VTOL style take offs. Use the VTOL loadout file for the VTOL take-off modded Kiev, for safety reasons. The third INI has a "castrated" take off position #1 (Catapult 1) to enable human player VTOL take-off, for Soviet Navy campaigns and missions.
 
Fixes
 
- Fixed engine thrust vectors and exhaust positions
- Re-added lift engines to fuselage
- Fixed number decals position
- Fixed pylon ordnance positions
- Fixed Ranging Radar and gun pod's aim point
- Fixed Kiev class carrier "catapult positions" and AI aircraft take-off. Now they can use all six takeoff positions, and supports vertical takeoff.
 
Changes
 
- Real thrust data added based on factory data.
- Yak-38 automatic slats by Gepard
- New vertical capable flight model, weight and torque balanced airframe.
- Changed lift engines thrust angle to 80 degrees to the aft.
- Engine thrust toned down by 10% to reflect real payload lifting capabilities.
- Realistic payload choices added. Be warned, pylons are physically capable to hold much heavier payload than the plane can take off with. See payload info at the end of file.
- Modified weapon stations to hold realistic payload
- Removed plane numbers from 01-09 (Those were in use of Yak-38U two seaters)
- Modification of plane numbers. Yak-38 tend to have lower numbers, grey 38M's take higher numbers, and extra easter egg))) (roughly to represent real planes)
 
Added
 
- Reaction control systems to nose, wingtips and aft fuselage.

Yak-25RV NATO reporting name Mandrake
 
High altitude reconnaissance version with new wing and camera and sensor packs in the fuselage. Some may have retained one cannon. 155 aircraft built (Wikipedia).
 
I´ve started this template some months ago, then Stary teased me with a pit he was making, which eventually led me to complete the template.
 
The model as is, is the one of Pasko´s Old Yaks, it has some imperfections you will have to live with as i was unable to fix.
 
1 High res skin has been made on my part along with the numbers, but the real Star here was Stary, giving a whole new feel to the plane with the cockpit he made.
 
Also, must credit my good friend Daniel "Cocas" Liebaert, who let me use a MiG-17 seat we have for another soon to release project.
 
The rest, of the people who worked in this project, i will need to send me a PM so i can include them here.
 
Hope you like it and let´s beef our Red Army!!!

2 High res skins have been made on my part along with the numbers, but the real Star here was Stary, giving a whole new feel to the plane with the cockpit he made.
 
Another great unexpected contribution was the new Anab Missile family, created by Alessandro (Spillone104) Caronelli, those missiles were in the begining meant for the Su-15 Family, soon to make fixes to the ones i already uploaded, so, stay tuned :D
