T-45 "Goshawk" Skins/Decals and Ini Update Pak


 

-- For SF2, Any & All --


 
The package is a slight revamping of RussoUK's T-45A "Goshawk" USN trainer. This complete full aircraft package incudes all new decals, a slightly 'noised' version of the skin, and some minor ini tweeks for SF2. The cockpit has been replaced by using the stock A-4B, as these don't have a radar. However, the radar-ranging gunsight and an audio-only RWR have been added. New decals for VT-1 have been created, as have BuNum tags.
 
Other ini edits switch the canopy to a manual animation key (use Shift/0 to open close), and a somewhat fancifull loadout ini, with loadouts for the STRIKE, RECON, CAS & ARMED_RECON profiles. (see Notes below for comments). Self-defense Sidewinders are carried on all mission profiles.
The Aden gunpod has been changed to allow for USN usage, and a substitute 100 gallon drop tank has been added. Both weapons are included; all other weapons fits are stock, with the exception of the CBU-59, so you'll need Gunny's Ordanance Shop for that.
 
As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install.
 
Happy Landings!

ps: be a perfect addition to the Mescalero Training Range, too!

MDD/HSA AV-8A Harrier, USMC
 
-- For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Prefered) and/or SF2:E ONLY!!! --
 
As stated, above, you =MUST= have a Full-4 Merged install, or at the VERY LEAST SF2:E to make use of this mod package, as it references all stock items for the aircraft and cockpit that is ONLY found in SF2E or Full4 Merged game installs.
 
This package represents AV-8A Harriers as used by the USMC when first delivered. The skins (located for me by CA Member Amariani -many thanks!!) have been run through my HomeGrown ™ template, for to reuse the tail markings, courtesy of 331KillerBee/SFP1Ace's WoE-to-SF2 AV-8A conversion pak (which this expands upon)
 
Skins and decals in the pak are for:
 
VMA-231 'Aces'
VMA-513 'Flying Nightmares'
VMA-542 'Tigers'
 
New decals for the serial, service name and BuNums are incuded. Some decals are modified from stock ones. These make use of the full color National Insignia, and not the LoViz as seen after 1980-ish (or thereabouts).
 
All weapons used are stock in-game items, excepting the 'new' units included. These are either clones of existing or, in the ALE-37s case, from the GunnyPak. The canopy is NOT activated, as there are no more animation slots available for it. Sorry! However, in compensation, there IS a working landing light!! <grin>
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install.
As usual, the expected "Notes" section for notes and other insane ramblings
 
Good Hunting!

MDD/HSA AV-8S (AV-1) Matador, Armada Española Arma Aérea
-- For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Prefered) and/or SF2:E ONLY!!! --
 
As stated, above, you =MUST= have a Full-4 Merged install, or at the VERY LEAST SF2:E to make use of this mod package, as it references all stock items for the aircraft and cockpit ONLY found in SF2E or Full4 Merged game installs. If you have neither of these, don't download this, as you'll not be able to use it.
 
This package represents AV-8S (aka AV-1 locally) Matadors of the Spanish Naval Air Arm. A completely new skin, from a Home Grown ™ template was created, as was all but 3 original decals taken from the Matador pak from 2005. All new serial, name badges, and insignia markings were created (and, obviously included!) Some minor edits to the data, loadout and avionics give the aircraft a little more operational flexibility. All weapons used are stock in-game items. The canopy is NOT activated, as there are no more animation slot availalbe for it. Sorry! However, there is a working landing light, and a new SF2-style hangar screen (albeit a photo, as opposed to my usual 'boxart' type)
As as extra added surprise bonus, a skin/decal pak for the Royal Thai Navy Harriers is included as well (all 8 of them!). New serials and individual markings were created; all others are stock 3W decals (insignia, finflash) from the game's objectcats.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install. Also, as usual, the expected 'Notes and Other Nonesense' comments by me.
 
Happy Landings!

McDonnell Douglas CF-18 Hornet Package for SF2 1.1
Package for SF2 (Includes aircraft upgraded under the two phases of the Incremental Modernization Project) UPDATED
 
1.1 Updates:
 
- Skin pack added to make a total of 9 different skins that cover the change in markings over the years as well as squadrons that have been activated and disbanded etc. Plus a few special/ anniversary skins.
- Additional 'CF-18 Hornet IMP Phase II Operation 'Mobile' Lybia 2011' Aircraft with with loadouts, markings and a pilot skin specific to the campaign.
- LoadOut.ini files and weapons updated.
- Improved Bird slicer IFF aerials.
 
 
 
This package contains three separate year specific aircraft to cover the original aircraft and the upgrades it received in latter years as part of the Incremental Modernization Project:
 
 
‘CF-18 Hornet’ is the initial aircraft and covers the period from delivery till 2006.
 
‘CF-18 Hornet IMP Phase I (03)’ the AN/APG-65 radar is replaced with the AN/APG-73 radar, the AN/APX-111 IFF is added, as is ability to use JDAMs and AMRAAMs. This covers the period from 2003 to 2007
 
‘CF-18 Hornet IMP Phase II (07)’ this includes the integration of the Joint Hemet Mounted Cuing System, the ability to carry the Sniper XR targeting pod and an upgrade to the aircrafts ECM jammers. This aircraft covers the period from 2007 till 2017+.
 
 
There are overlaps in the operational dates due to the time each upgrade program took to do the entire fleet.
 
 
You can use the single mission editor to select a Laser Guided Bomb Attack loadout or the Mixed LGB/AMRAAM loadout used over Libya.
 
 
I have used the Mirage Factory CF-18 from the SF2 NATO Fighters 4+ Mod as the base for this Mod.
 
 
Also includes is an extensive rwr.lst file and library

SF2 Asian F-16 Viper Pack Part 1
 
 
First - My sincere thanks to Sony Tuckson and the entire Mirage Factory Team for the permission to use the F-16 Files.

The file contain the following squadrons:

Flying Tiger (401 TFW honoring the "AVG" of the Flying Tigers)
ROCAF Solo
 
 
 
**Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF)
 
140th SQ
140th SQ Late
 
143rd SQ (added just for fun, never flew the F-16A Blk 15 OCU)
145th SQ (also added for fun)
 
311th TFTS (Squadron at Luke AF to train the pilots, very short live)
 
425th FS (Current squadron at Luke AF to train the RSAF pilots, added for fun)
 
 
 
**Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF)

403rd SQ
Wing 1
Wing 4
 
 
 
**Indonesia Air Force (TNI-AU)
 
3rd SQ Blue Camo
3rd SQ Blue LV
3rd SQ Grey Camo
3rd SQ Grey LV
 
 
The files above represented the F-16AM Blk20 for the ROCAF, F-16A Blk15 OCU for the RSAF, F-16A_ADF for the RTAF, and F-16A Blk15OCU for the TNI-AU.
 
Due to the "fake pilot" mode, you will see the IFF blade on all Blk15 OCU by RSAF and TNI-AU when there shouldn't be... But who cares, it looks good :)
 
As always, great care is taken to insure proper skin, decal-type/size/position and color when possible.
 
Any modification that is not fully represented to the actual aircraft is made to improve the looks of the skin rather then to downgrade the quality of the actual aircraft skin and decals, or simply it is beyond my ability.
 
I DID NOT upload the pilot, effects, and weapons because of three things:
 
1. If you have been with the commuty for a long time, I assume you have it all and will modify it to your own liking.
2. If you are new to the community, then you have a lot to read and upload to get the full impact of the wonderful work that many have contributed.
3. I am too lazy to do it for you...

If I missed anyone it is not intentional and you will be credited :)
 
 
Cheers!
