This is a much modified model made from the original Veltro2k Javelin max file.
I does NOT replace any of the previously released work, it is an entirely separate aircraft.
Most parts reworked, remapped, bump & spec maps, new pit.
Please read the readme.....its for YOUR benefit not mine !
Thanks again to Veltro2k for allowing me to release this.
During the 1970s, the Shackleton was replaced in the maritime patrol role by the jet-powered Hawker Siddeley Nimrod. During its later life, a small number of the RAF's existing Shackletons received extensive modifications in order to adapt them to perform the airborne early warning (AEW) role. The type continued to be used in this support capacity
until 1991, when it was replaced by the Boeing E-3 Sentry AEW aircraft. These were the last examples of the type remaining in active service.
What's In:
- a plane
- 3 skins (1 fixed and 2 new)
- decals (nose arts included)
Credits:
- model: Veltro2k
- original templates, original serial numbers and screens: Wrench
- original decals (squadron band): Spinners
- skins, decals tweaks, etc: Paulopanz
Install:
- all in your mod folder
Note:
This is realy a great add-on and a most needed AEW plane.
I'ld like to take care of ALL other Shackleton variants too, if Veltro'll like it.

Short Belfast C MK1 for SF2 Series by RussoUK 8/20/2020
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
This package contains a new aircraft, the Short Belfast RAF airlifter.
The Belfast was one of the largest turboprop aircraft ever built. Designed as a strategic freighter, its range and speed were however rather poor. The first Belfast was delivered to 53 Sqn. RAF in 1966. Ten served with the RAF; they were all withdrawn in 1976, with four continuing to operate with HeavyLift Cargo Airlines, Stanstead. HeavyLift ceased trading in Sept. 2002.
Converted from a Freeware Virtavia\Alphasim model by me RussoUK

The Avro Shackleton is a British long-range maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) which was used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the South African Air Force (SAAF). It was developed by Avro from the Avro Lincoln bomber, which itself had been a development of the famous wartime Avro Lancaster bomber.

The de Havilland Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk is a tandem, two-seat, single-engined primary trainer aircraft
developed and manufactured by Canadian aircraft manufacturer de Havilland Canada. It was developed
shortly after the Second World War and sold heavily throughout the immediate post-war years, being
typically employed as a replacement for the de Havilland Tiger Moth biplane.
The Chipmunk was the first postwar aviation project conducted by de Havilland Canada. It performed
its maiden flight on 22 May 1946 and was introduced to operational service that same year.
During the late 1940s and 1950s, the Chipmunk was procured in large numbers by military air services
such as the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), Royal Air Force (RAF), and several other nations' air forces,
where it was often utilised as their standard primary trainer aircraft.
The type was also produced under licence by de Havilland in the United Kingdom, who would produce the
vast majority of Chipmunks, as well as by OGMA (Oficinas Gerais de Material Aeronáutico) in Portugal.
NOTE:
This mod was done during COVID-19 lock down. It helped me to spend my time with out thinking all day
long about it.
I never planned to skin this plane, but Kevin and mostly Daddyairplanes upgraded and put it on my
desktop, so I made a pair of skins using Daddy great one and day by day the skins went 28 (!).
So the skinpack became a whole repack ...
All serial numbers are historical ones, but not all the skins, as I can't find Jordan and Syrian pics.
I made them looking at similiar planes dressing, but If someone has some references or
books (like Warpaint n. 123 !) the pack will be very soon upgraded.
This is a very nice model, mapped like a dog .... so skinnig sometimes it was like a puzzle, so
I thik that whitout COVID-19 home rest this job'ld never be done.
WHAT'S IN:
- a flyable plane
- 30 skins all around the world (see pictures ...) Early Irish and Saudi added in V. 1.1 thaks to Menvra!
- hangars
- historical decals
- lights tweaked
- autoclosing canopy
CREDITS:
- bigal 1 and team (see original readme included) for SF1 realise;
- Wrench for SF2 porting;
- DaddyAirplanes for great Brixmis skin (not included) I used as a base for mine;
- paulopanz for skins, decals, hangars, tweakings etc.

Update
I noticed by accident while mapping inner wings
Some meshes mapping was on wrong areas,so...
Intakes mapping mixed up...some on wrong side.....FIXED
Some parts mapped weirdly,so,where possible............FIXED
Mid wing areas unmapped...........FIXED
Some parts mapped to same place......FIXED
if you spot something ive missed,let me know
its not 100% but close...so thats it for now...
Cheers
Russouk
ALSO CONTAINS NEW A\C BAC 167 STRIKEMASTER
BAC 167 Strikemaster
With 2 1.76 MM wing root Mg`s,just below intake lips...
4xPylons usually carried mk82 x2 and rocket pods...mostly the 155 IIRC
Uses same cockpit and pilots and sounds etc as the Provost,if you have it already then no need to d\l the sounds etc.
No decals for this as ive no time...im sure that you guys will be on it...
Seems to fly ok....and weapons are all working...
Have fun
Freeware FS2002 \FSX model adapted by me Russouk2004
This model is NOT to be uploaded to ANY site apart from here at CombatAce.com.
This model isnt brilliant but ive spent a long while fixing bits ,remaking bits,altering mapping that used sub objects(more than 1 texture per mesh) as game doesnt support it.
I will upload a base texture with wireframe and labelled parts in day or so...as I couldnt find any templates anywhere..and I did look...ages....
Original model by Rick Piper....
Despite some of the the original readme wording quoted bottom,...this model IS allowed to be shared as its now 100% Freeware,though obvioulsy some rules apply...no back engineering to use parts for something else....just sensible usage.
Only fair use and NON commercial use is ALLOWED...
Model used is not bad,and as I pointed out,took a lot to sort it for SF2 usage...had basically to stitch the meshes together,even polys....
Also included are..
Pilot and Copilot model...
Correct seat...
sounds...
Low poly Distance LOD
Also LOD for those who dont want self illuminated lights...(nav lights and nose light) just replace as required.
Uses Starys Cockpit for the Saab 105,minus few parts I "removed" with ini dance...
I added some of its performance characteristics where I was able to,limited by my knowledge of the flight data in SF2 lol...
anyone wishing to better its flight data go ahead...
also
Lights arent perfect so feel free to fiddle with them...if you desire.and share results
This model has no weapons as its a trainer....if required I can knock up some pylons as later versions did have some before it became the Full Strikemaster version.
any bugs let me know ASAP at CA.....enjoy the A\C and hopefully it well get upgraded....
usual routine....drop folders into Mod folder and appropriate sub folders.
cheers
