    1. Agusta ASH-3 Sea King Over Persia

      This is simple remod, overhaul of Florian's Sea King model
      Representing Agusta ASH-3D Sea King as delivered to Iranian Navy.
      Model itself is Florian work and all hail to him for his work.
       
      ---------------------------------------------
      The names of all contributors, modders, suppliers, etc =MUST= be listed in any new readmes.
      This package and any part of it may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware additions.
      Any persons wishing to make further modfications, MUST remember to put everyone's name in it.
       
      This mod represents Agusta ASH-3D and ASH-3D/TS Sea King as delivered to Iranian Navy in 1978.
      Via fake pilot ive added radar dome to D and D/TS versions.
      Iran oredered 17 D versions and 3 D/TS.
       
      Model itself is untouched by me.
       
      Ive made skins similiar as in RH-53D representing 3 colour schemes. early white/grey 1978, 1990 grey paint and current blue camo paint
       
      All decals are made by me and are based on available documents and photos. So lets say - historicaly correct.
      Iranian Navy is using only 3 aircrafts model D/TS and 17 D version.
       
      This helo got new ini work. So if you have old Florian SeaKing - do a backup. Becasue this is new and you might not like it.
      new aircraft data ini with new flight model, and few differences
      animation keys reassigned.
       

      Right side rear slide doors are opened as bomb_bay
      left side slide door as ANIMATION KEY 1
       
      Rotor brake ANIMATION KEY 7
      Folding rotor ANIMATION KEY 8
       
      Ive put some speed limits for animations up to 30 kts for doors,and rotor animation so you can fold onboard vessel.
       
      Flying is done same way as in my helos. Vector thrust controll, etc.. it is pretty simple.
       
      This aircraft is using same nation as previously released RH-53D for Iran Navy - called IranNavy.
       

      Last thing:
      There is new cockpit. As replacement ive done some simple generic cockpit for SH-3. Since there is lot of versions of SeaKing lot of pits, this is generic and simple build, that should fit here.
      Consider it as beta, few things are not working there.

    2. Sikorsky SH-3 Sea King SF2. re-mod.

      This is simple remod, overhaul of Florian's Sea King model.
      Model itself is Florian work and all hail to him for his work.
       
      ---------------------------------------------
      The names of all contributors, modders, suppliers, etc =MUST= be listed in any new readmes.
      This package and any part of it may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware additions.
      Any persons wishing to make further modfications, MUST remember to put everyone's name in it.
       
      This mod represents SH-3D and some versions of SH-3A used by US Navy for CSAR operations.
       
      Althoug Florian's SH-3 represents something between A-D Generaly it fits here but are not hundred% correct.
      There were also two D versions with small differences...but this is different story.
       
      This is version 2 uploadaed with smaler size of skins.
      You can also download only skins in seperate rar file.
       
      Model itself is untouched by me. Only in A version ive removed few bits by ini work.
      Using Florian's skins ive made templates and new skins.
       
      In this pack SH-3D skins are:
       
      HS-4 'Black Knights' USS Ticonderoga 1971
      HS-5 'Night Dippers' USS Wasp 1970
      HS-11 'Dragonslayers' USS John F. Kennedy 1976
       
      SH-3A is made for Wings over Vietnam mod.
      It represents only one unit:
      HS-6 'Indians' USS Kearsarge 1966-1968 at Yankee Station.
      Plus additional one skin with shortly used camo paint.
       
      All decals are made by me and are based on available documents and photos. So lets say - historicaly correct.
       
      This helo got new ini work. So if you have old Florian SeaKing - do a backup. Becasue this is new and you might not like it.
      new aircraft data ini with new flight model, and few differences
      animation keys reassigned.
       
      Sonar and MAD operations are same as before, ANIMATION KEYS 3,4,5
      Right side rear slide doors are opened as bomb_bay
      left side slide door as ANIMATION KEY 1
       
      Rotor brake ANIMATION KEY 7
      Folding rotor ANIMATION KEY 8
       
      Ive put some speed limits for animations up to 30 kts for doors,and rotor animation so you can fold onboard vessel.

    3. AH-1F /S(MC) Cobra ver.2016

      BELL AH-1F / S(MC) COBRA Ver 1.0 for SF2
       
      January 2016.
       
      This is a third party add on of the AH-1S(MC) / F Cobra using models and cockpits created by me.
      The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
      I have just modified it a bit.
       
      It is designed for and works only in the SF2 series.
       
      WeaponPACK for this model is also included.

      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       
      This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.
       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
       
      AH-1F was Step 3 upgrade program of Army Cobra. This variant was originally known as the AH-1S(MC) – Modified Cobra. In this model Army Cobra featured the three -barell 20mm M197 automatic cannon mounted in XM97 universal turret. The AH-1F also featured an improved rocekt management system for 2.75 inch rockets, an improved sighting system, and a more powerful electrical generator to support all new systems. It was later upgraded with engine inlet deflectors to allow using WFAR rockets with Mk66 motor.
       
      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector - and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       
      NVG.
      Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
      I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
      In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
      In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
       
      Skins:
      This pack is divided into two parts for Wings over "anywhere" and Desert Storm.
       
      For Desert Storm there is seperate model with 3 skins / units:
      C-troop 1st Sq(Air),7th Cav.
      2nd ACR.
      1st Sq(Air),1th Cav.
       
      Other wings over Europe, Asia anywhere
       
      Early F model as delivered to Army in early 80s
      4th Sq(Air),7th Cav. Budingen Germany 1988
      1st Sq(Air),17th Cav.'Urgent Fury'Grenada 1983
      163rd ACR Utah ANG, 1983
      163 ACR Aggressor MAWTS-1, FINEX-1988
       
      Late F model with intake deflectors
      1st Sq(Air),1th Cav.
      1st Sq(Air),1th Cav. IFOR Bosnia, 1995.
      1/150th Avn Bn. New Jersey ARNG.1998
       
      All serial numbers are proper for S(MC) / F model but am not sure if these numbers appeared in specific units.
      some seiral are taken from available photos and are matched to units. Some are just placeholders but are correct for model block buid.
       
      As far as i know all numbers in Desert Storm mod are correct.
       
      Weapons.
       
      Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P/E model.
      Including XM158 and M200/M260/M261 launchers and for smoe late models M260 and M261 with Mk66 motor rockets.
      TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D
      There is additional optional Suppressed Exhaust loaded via weaponstation.
      Also here there is new M197 automatic cannon loaded via weaponstation.
       
      One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
      Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
      Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
       
       
       
      Enjoy.
      Report Bugs.
      Edit your way.

      WARNING!
       
      This is totaly new file. I highly recomend to backup your old files. OR just delete all old files. Even weapon folders. It is updated here.
      This is totaly new files and will not work in many parts with old.
       
      This model is based on previous J model with little modifications. Representing J International model exported to Iran. And J TOW International Cobra - modified J Cobra TOW capable aircraft. Only user of this model was also Iran and South Korea which used 8 aircrafts between 1978-2004.
       
      Pack includes 3 aircrafts as I made it specific for Iran and South Korea.
      Cockpits included.
       
      This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
      With some differenced compared to G model.
       
      AIRBRAKES - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - deploy arresting hook to land on aircraft carrier.
       
      LANDING GEAR - belly light deploy/retract at any speed. Don't forget to fold before shooting.
       
      A2A mode - gunner station guncross for turret.
       
      A2Ground mode - pilot M60 gunsight cross.
       
      ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       

      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
       
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       

      All serial numbers are historicaly correct for each country.
       
      Nations.
      I've set nation name for Iran. In my instal Iran - Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force. Same with J Tow model and plus SKorea- which is Republic of Korea Air Force.
      You might want to add new nation as It should be - Islamic Republic of Iran Army Aviation
      And Republic of Korea Army Aviation - ROKAA not ROKAF.
       
      But as always you can mod it your way.
       
      Skins:
      I've included skins for Iranian Army Aviation for both J and J TOW model representing early Imperial Iranian Army Aviation and post revolutionary Islamic Republic of Iran Army Aviation.
      Also South Korean Army Aviation is represented by early and late type of painting.
      During Iran-Iraq war Iranian army did some test with launching AGM-65 missiles. But reports says airframe sufers structural damage.
      Here I made possible to load Mavericks for Iranian AH-1J.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using usnpilots by OldDiego. Not included.
      Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
       
      Instalation:
       
      Copy all files into specific folders.
       
      Sounds:
      For M197gatling sound copy the lines from SOUNDLIST ADDON to your soundlist ini file.
       
      Enjoy.
      Edit your way.
      Hope everything is working fine.
      Report bugs.

      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
       

      AH-1S(MC) was Step 3 upgrade program of Army Cobra. In this model Army Cobra featured the three -barell 20mm M197 automatic cannon mounted in XM97 universal turret. The AH-1S(MC) also featured an improved rocekt management system for 2.75 inch rockets, an improved sighting system, and a more powerful electrical generator to support all new systems. It was later upgraded with engine inlet deflectors to allow using WFAR rockets with Mk66 motor. Japanese Fuji Factory built 92 aircrafts under license for JGSDF. While USArmy and other users were using F designation for this model JGSDF remain using S symobl for Fuji Cobra.
       
      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector - and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       
      NVG.
      Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
      I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
      In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
      In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
       

      Skins:
      Generic skin for all 5 attack helicopter units plus 2 special anniversary paint/decal set.
       

      All serial numbers are proper for Japanese Fuji S model but am not sure if these numbers are 100% correct for specific unit.
       

      Weapons.
       
      Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P/E model.
      Including XM158 and M200/M260/M261 launchers and for smoe late models M260 and M261 with Mk66 motor rockets.
      TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D
      There is additional optional Suppressed Exhaust loaded via weaponstation.
      Also here there is new M197 automatic cannon loaded via weaponstation.
       
      One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
      Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
      Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.

      This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.

       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
       
      This is second part of my Tzefa over Israel pack.
      In early eighties Israel received E and F model Cobra. Later all E models were upgraded to F standard.
      All Tzefa were divided into 160 and 161 squadrons.
       
      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector - and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.

      ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
       
       
       
      In 1995-96 Turkish army decided to upgrade old P model. It was sent to Israel for upgrades. And it was brought to late Israeli F model standard.. But still in official documents and info plates on helicopters it is P model. Aircrafts received new electronics, HUD and all israeli F model upgrades.
      All serial numbers are proper for Turkish P model and historicaly correct.
       
      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector - and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.

      I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
      In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
      In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
       
       
       
      Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P/E model.
      Including XM158 and M200/M260/M261 launchers and for smoe late models M260 and M261 with Mk66 motor rockets.
      TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D
      There is additional optional Suppressed Exhaust loaded via weaponstation.

    9. AH-1J SeaCobra Over the Seven Seas ver.2016

      BELL AH-1J SEA COBRA Over the Seven Seas Ver 2.0 for SF2
      April 2016
       
      This is a third party add on of the AH-1J Sea Cobra using models and cockpits created by me.
      The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
      I have just modified it a bit.
      It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.

      WARNING!
       
      This is totaly new file. I highly recomend to backup your old files. OR just delete all old files. Even weapon folders. It is updated here.
      This is totaly new files and will not work in many parts with old.
       

      Also new cockpits included for both 69 and 80 versions.
       
      This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      AIRBRAKES - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - deploy arresting hook to land on aircraft carrier.
       
      LANDING GEAR - belly light deploy/retract at any speed. Don't forget to fold before shooting.
       
      A2A mode - gunner station guncross for turret.
       
      A2Ground mode - pilot M60 gunsight cross.
       
      ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       

      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
       
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       
      To take off from ship.
      Increase throttle realase brake.
      Or.
      Incrase throttle around 75% of throttle vector controll and then realase brake.
      Landing on ship.
      Aproach. Reduce speed using throttle vector controll. Realase hook. Slowly aproach matching speed with vessel and reducing altitude to deck height. Hit deck. Needs practice but it is easy.
       
      Catapult on deck are set 10cm higher than regular deck level. So aircraft is 'hovering' 10cm above deck. It must be this way since these vesseles are not supportin aircraft carrier operations. It is just fooling game engine.
       
      All serial numbers are historicaly correct and based on available documents.
       

      I divided models into three sub packs. Weapons,guns,sounds are common to every part.
      Models 69 and 80 in diferent packs are still same model it is made this way for specific game mod.
       
      Vietnam pack 69 model.
      HML-367 'Scareface' Marble Mountain 1971
      HMA-369 'Marhukers' Operation MARHUK USS Cleveland, USS Denver
       
      Desert Storm pack 80 model
      HMA-773 'Sea Cobras' USS New Orleans 1991
      HMA-775 'Coyotes' Camp Smith, Saudi Arabia 1991
       

      Wings Over Europe/North Atlantic/Mediterranean Sea and anywhere.
      69 model:
      HMM-263© Det.HMA-269 USS Guadalcanal 1975
      HMM-162© Det.HMA-269 USS Guadalcanal 1976 (I am not sure if BuNos and modex are 100% correct here)
      HMH-362© Det.HMA-269 USS Guadalcanal 1976
      HMM-262© Det.HMA-169 USS Tarawa 1979 (I am not sure if BuNos and modex are 100% correct here)
       
      80 model"
      semi fictional skins (serial numbers are correct for J mode but not sure all of them apeard in HMA -169
      HMA-169 'World Famous Vipers' Two skins early green and mid-late 80s tri color version.
      This unit used AH-1J until 1986. This skin is based on photos but serial numbers are not 100% correct. Those are real SeaCObra numbers but fictional for this unit. However numbers started with 159 were present in this unit.
       

      Optional files:
      Two navy ships LHA and LPD class. Converted to USMC service. So in single mission, player flight will start from ship. (Water map needed)
      Both with landing deck.
      Experimental lights on deck of LPD class ship. Credits to Fubar for his carrier lights pack.
       
      Weapons included.
       
      One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
      Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
       
      During late 70 Marines tested scoop exhaust like US Army on G model. There are just a few photos with this mod.
      Here in game it will apear for a while in 1976-1978. It doesn't do anything. Since there is no IR suppresion in game. It is just for look and fun factor.
       
      In 80's model there is ALQ-144 IR Jammer. Since ther is no IR Jamming in game it is just very weak jammer. you can turn it on but don't count on jamming.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using usnpilots by OldDiego. Not included.
      SOme pilots models might be too big for this helo.
       

      Instalation:
       
      Copy all files into specific folders.
       
      Sounds:
      For M197gatling sound copy the lines from SOUNDLIST ADDON to your soundlist ini file.
       
      Squadrons:
      Add specific entrys form Squadronlist addon to your squadron list.
       

      Enjoy.
      Edit your way.

      This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.
       
      A2A mode - gunner station TSU guncross for turret.
       
      A2Ground mode - pilot M73 cross.
       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
       
      AH-1E was Step 2 upgrade program of Army Cobra. This variant was originally known as the „Up-Gun AH-1S or AH-1S(ECAS) – Enhanced Cobra Armament System. In this model Army Cobra featured the three -barell 20mm M197 automatic cannon mounted in XM97 universal turret. The AH-1E also featured an improved rocekt management system for 2.75 inch rockets, an improved sighting system, and a more powerful electrical generator to support all new systems. It has new 2nd version of flat plate canopy with bulged side glass panels. 98 new-built AH-1Es were delivered in 1978 and 1979. This was used only by US Army and NG. Plus six in basic configuration was ordered by Israel. Israel upgraded E to its own version of F model it will be part of different pack.
      Small changes in pit insturments compared to S(Prod)
      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector - and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       
      NVG.
      Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
      I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
      In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
      In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
       
      Skins:
      One generic carc green skin for three units. Not much individual paintings here.
      1st Sq(Air),17th Cav. 82nd CAB. 1978
      B/1-123rd Avn Brig,7th Inf.Div 1989.'Just Cause'
      4th Squadron "Longknife Squadron" 3rd ACR.
       
      All serial numbers are proper for S(ECAS) / E model but am not sure if these numbers appeared in specific units.
      some seiral are taken from available photos and are matched to units. Some are just placeholders but are correct for model block buid.
       
      Weapons.
      Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P model.
      Including XM158 and M200 launchers.
      TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D.
      There is additional optional Suppressed Exhaust loaded via weaponstation.
      Also here there is new M197 automatic cannon loaded via weaponstation.
       
      One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
      Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
      Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.

      *Europe,Spain,USA,
       

      This addon works only with my WeaponPACK (Included in rar file) All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
      For Spanish AH-1G Z-14/HA.14 Cobra there is seperate folder with additional weapons made for Spanish model. It should be instaled same way as other weapons.
       

      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - belly light deploy/retract at any speed in late models
      - nose lights activate/deactivate in early model. Lights must on.
       
      A2A mode - gunner station guncross for turret.
       
      A2Ground mode - pilot M73 cross.
       
      ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       
       
       
      WARNING!
       
      This is totaly new file. I highly recomend to backup your old files. OR just delete all old files.
      This is totaly new files and will not work in many parts with old.
       

      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
       
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       
      3 separate models.
      AH-1G_70
      AH-1G-70 USMC
      HA-14 Cobra of Spanish Navy.
       
      All serial numbers are historicaly correct.
       
      Skins:
       
      Army model
      334th AHC. Hanau, Germany 1973 (new add)

      Guns are loaded as weaponstations so player got options.

      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.

       
      A2A mode - gunner station TSU guncross for turret.
       
      A2Ground mode - pilot M73 cross.
       

      ANIMATION 7 - turret doors

      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
       
      Airfield eye candy blades animation.
       

      Technicaly it is old S model with few upgrades. It has new 1st version of flat plate canopy. Rest things remain same as in previous S(mod) Cobra. In 1987 S(Prod) Cobra was redesignated AH-1P.
      In mid 80s some birds received K-747 blades. Here represented by 78 model.
       
      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off.

      NVG.
      Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
      I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
      In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
      In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
       

      Skins:
      77 model
      1st Sq(Air),17th Cav. 82nd CAB. 1978
      42nd Combat Avn Brigade,New York ANG.1981
       
      78 model with K747 blades.
      1st Sq, 167th Air cavalry Nebraska ANG.1991
      D Company 25th CAB, 25th Inf Div.
       
      All serial numbers are proper for S(Prod) / P model but am not sure if these numbers appeared in specific units.
      some seiral are taken from available photos and are matched to units. Some are just placeholders but are correct for model block buid.
       
      Weapons.
      All weapons are reskined. TOW models are new.
      Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P model.
      Including XM158 and M200 launchers.
      TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D
       

      One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
      Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
      Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.

      WARNING!
       
      This is totaly new file. I highly recomend to backup your old files. OR just delete all old files.
      This is totaly new files and will not work in many parts with old.
       
      There is still old file available to download.
      New file is named AH-1S_Ver2.0_SF2
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       
      This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon
       
      pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.
       
      A2A mode - gunner station TSU guncross for turret.
       
      A2Ground mode - pilot M73 cross.
       
      ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
       
      Added eye candy parking animation.
       
      Technicaly it is still old G/Q model with few upgrades. Bell enginers just put additional 400horse power, new tail gearbox with tail rotor and
       
      some avionics upgrades. Here I also added some extra power.
      For almost 10 years all new cobra was always S but different modification step model. This one was designated S(Mod) but after 1987 (when they
       
      were already extra confused by step models) Army simplified designation system and this one become just S model.
      Sometiems S(mod) is refered also as Q. But S(mod) had few visual differences compared to previous model. It also received AN/APR-39.
      Tail rotor and tail rotor housing are borrowed from Marine J model. Inlet screens are removed already from this model onward.
      In mid 80's lot of S(mod) were sent inot National Guard units. At this point they received wire strike protection system. Some were also equipped
       
      with nvg. But still TSU has no nvg capability so it was not much of real night fighter.
      Some S(Mod) gained C-NITE system for night targeting but it is not in my model.
       
      In late 80s some National Guard birds received K-747 blades but it is not here.
       
      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then
       
      increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed
       
      and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
       
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it
       
      is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not
       
      proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.

      Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
      I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.

      COBRA Over Turkey Ver 2.0 for SF2
       
      January 2016.
       
      This is a third party add on of the TAH-1S(Mod) and AH-1P and TAH-1P Cobra uusing models and cockpits created by me.
      The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
      I have just modified it a bit.
       
      It is designed for and works only in the SF2 series.
       
      WeaponPACK for this model is also included.

      This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.

       
      A2A mode - gunner station TSU guncross for turret.
       
      A2Ground mode - pilot M73 cross.
       

      ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
       
      ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
       
      ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
       

      This is repack from old AH-1S(mod) and brand new AH-1P models used by Turkish Army Aviation.
       
      Pack includes:
      AH-1P - Combat version of Cobra aquired by Turkey in 1993.
      TAH-1S - Training version also aquired in 1993. *
      TAH-1P - one airframe of training TAH-1P was also delivered at the end of 1993.
       
      * WARNING!
      regarding TAH-1S
      This is totaly new file. I highly recomend to backup your old files from AH-1G mod and old AH-1 S mod. OR just delete all old files.
      This is totaly new files and will not work in many parts with old.
      All serials are historicaly correct.
       
      TAH versions are for training purposes with limited combat capability. But ini files for combat can be easly modified. Mostly in data.ini file weapons are limited by weight so it will not apear on loadout menu.
       

      For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
       
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       

      Weapons.
      All weapons are reskined. TOW models are new.
      Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P model.
      Including XM158 and M200 launchers.
      TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D.
       

      One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
      Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
       
      Pilots:
      I am using repainted helopilots by OldDiego.
      Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
       

      Instalation:
       
      Copy all files into specific folders.
       
      special thanks to emresukhoi for helping me with this.

      In 1974 Israel aquired for test 6 war weary AH-1G Cobra. It saw some combat in newly formed squadrons. After positive feedback abput new aircraft it was sent back to USA for upgrades.
      In 1979-1980 Israel received back rebuilded to S(mod) standard 6 aircrafts (rebuild of G model they purchased in 1975. 3 were sent to 160Sq and 3 to 161Sq.

      TOW launchers are part of airframe, now it is loaded diferent way then before and not using weapon rack.

      This addon works only with my WeaponPACK (included in rar file). All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Animations.
      LANDING GEAR - Nose light on/off at any speed. Don't forget to retract before shooting.
       
      ANIMATION 8 - front left door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 9 - front right door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - rear door. (disabled in _data.ini file)
       
      ANIMATION 1 - If needed you can activate old XM70 sight to aim hydra rockets. In fact MD500 defender was offered for sale also with M27 Minigun and XM70 sight.
      Here on Defender will apear when switching to AG mode. In TOW Defender gunsight by animation key 1.
       
      By pressing Arresting Hook activation key you can switch do TOW gunner.
       
      Like in previously realased loaches here also you can realy fly low and slow. This helo got little more power due to higher weight compared to old OH-6A
      I am sugesting to fly low on 40-50% of throttle. around 45degree vector control, use pulse rudder to control left right, it is realy easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
      Important here is to control ac using rudder and vector thrust control.
       
      Pack comes with two versions of Defender. First is basic recon version. Second is aircraft equipped with TOW missile system.
       
      Skins are generic for Republic of Korea Army Aviation.
      All numbers as far as I know are are historicaly correct and are based on available photos. Just few numbers, but can be updated later.
       
      Weapons.
      TOWs - BGM-71 A/B/C/D.
      M260 7-tube rocket launcher with several different warheads.
      M27 minigun subsytem

    19. UH-1B, D & E of YAP for SF2V

      UH-1B, D & E of YAP for SF2V v0.1 by FANATIC MODDER
       

      I converted the YAP data.ini of
       

      - UH-1B Gunship
       
      - UH-1B Heavy Hog
       
      - UH-1D
       
      - UH-1E
       
      for use in the sf2.
       
      More in detail,
       
      - I modified the powerplant lines so it doesn't crash anymore.
      Furthermore, more realistic feel, closer to a real helicopter.
      Accurate power data.
       
      - Gunner animation now more realistic.
      The UH-1E right gunner is finally moving.
       
      - The Helo_Destroyed.LOD line is added.
      I am sure most you have this LOD added..
       
      Why v0.1?
       
      LOTs of things are needed to be done if we can say that they be upgraded
      to proper sf2 standards.
       

      The FM still needs a lot of tuning, since empty masses are wrong,
      as are aerodynamic Coef etc. They can go up to 250 km/h top speed but don't be fooled,
      it's not because of excess power...
       

      Be in mind that these are NOT complete add-on, just corrected data.ini for sf2 use.
       
      You need to go the Yankee air pirate webpage to donwload them. The -B/D models are part
      of the basic pack, however if you want the -E you need to download exp pack 3 or helipack 1.
       
      The way they are they may be not perfect for playing a campaign with them,
      however are more than adequate as AI additions to vietnam missions/campaigns.
       

      The credit go to
       
      - YAP for the complete model
       
      - Yakarov79 for his help to make them sf2 compatible.

      This addon works only with my WeaponPACK (included). All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack. Of course you can edit and use any other weapons availalbe.
       
      Standard commands:
       
      LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. Don't forget to retract before shooting on hard weapons settings)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - Show/hide doors. If ever you will fly in cold enviroment and feel uncomfortable, you can fly with front doors instaled, It doesn't do anything. And will not help you. It's just for different look in winter.
       
      ANIMATION 1 - 'NVG'
       
      You can realy fly low and slow.
      I am sugesting to fly low on 40-50% of throttle. around 45degree vector control, use pulse rudder to control left right, it is realy easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
      Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
      Fun is skiding between buildings in cities.
       
      Fuel. Remeber it is small chopper. And it can carry only around 54 US Gals of fuel. I belive it is enough for around 2 hours of flight here maybe little more.
       
      Cockpits.
      Since photos of interior of this two early 160th SOAR birds are extremly rare and usualy low quality for now cockpits are just "guess" cockpits. Based on these low quality photos, some MD500D, Hughes 369D manuals, guessing.
       
      AH-6F.
      Based on MD500D series. 9 airframes aquired by 160thSOAR probably in 1984 since all airframes are build in 84. AH-6F still used old M27 subsytem with M134 minigun. And same mount as earlier AH-6C for 7 tube launcher.
       
      Skins.
      All serial numbers as far as I know are based on photos and US Army docs and are historicaly correct.
       
      Weapons.
      XM27 – M134 Minigun
      M260 7 tube rocket launcher. First years of operation with mk40 rockets and later Mk66 rockets.
       
      There is no gunsight for this helo. Acording to one of the pilots they were using "grease pencil mark on the windscreen, . And practicing shooting this way ". So here it is embeded to windshield. During night with 'nvg' it will glow a little.
       

      MH-6E.
      Special Forces insertion/extraction variant of MD369MD. Introduced in 1981. No weapons.
       
      Skins.
      All serial numbers as far as I know are based on photos and US Army docs and are historicaly correct.
       
      Weapons:
       
      Here you can load experimental beta version of specops.
      Operator with M4 or M4/M203.
      You have to land select "weapon" and deploy them on the ground and get away.
      Remember this is beta. Lod model is "ehmm" and animations is just for try. I did not even finish skin. So do not expect fireworks.
       
      There is also two weaponstations to carry M27 subsystem and M260 launcher. It is not to be used on MH-6E !!!
      I added it here so player can pick AH-6C/F as wingman and have cover by wingman. Just fun in single mission.
       

      MH-6E participated in Urgent Fury with AH-6C. It was not used in inital attack but used later for extraction wounded 82nd Airborne members to USS Guam.
       

      Pilot by OldDiego poorly repainted by me.
       
      Have fun.
      Edit and report bugs.

    22. AH-64A Peten Over Israel SF2

      Boeing AH-64A Peten mod Ver 1.0 for SF2
       
      DISCLAIMER
      ----------
      This is a third party add on of the AH-64A Apache using models and cockpits created by Dels.
      Flight model and specific Israeli Peten mod was made by me.
       
      It is designed for and works in the SF2 series of games.
       
      This mod is made because of new upgraded Israel 2 Terrain by Wrench. - highly recommended by the way. Instead of working on Something Completely Different i was mixing with this great helo by Dels. So here it is.
       
      AH-64A Peten mod is made as specific aircraft for Israel. Nation Name is changed to Israel and service start date set to 1990.
      It was in my mind just simple mod (at the begining) but ended as little more complex. It is not perfect, but so far it works for now.
      I have changed FM my way. So there is a lot of changes in data file.
      It has a new engines system, new weapon stations, countermeasures and some other stuff.
      I have also put life into TADS and PNVS. Just fun in external view.
      And the most important thing is bumps, dispensers and whistles of Israeli Apache.
      I wanted to make two paint versions so fake pilot is not much help here. So Peten mod is added by weaponstation. Anyway gun is always on board. So this is how it works here.
       
      Some small changes into cockpit ini file.
      Also new Fuel tanks (CARC green and IAF tan) are provided plus M260 and M261 rocket launchers with different warheads. (same as in Cobra packs)
       
      Use vector thrust controll, rudder and controll throttle. It is easy to fly right now.
      Still working on better FM.
       
      WEAPONS
      -------------
       
      The AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and rails included in this package come from FastCargo's excellent "Hellfire and BrimStonefor SFP1/WOV/WOE (Version 1.1)".
      All credit to FC for them, Dels have arranged them in folders for SF2 and made some minor .ini changes. Dels also made the AGM-114K Hellfire II using FC's AGM-114A model.
       
      I made Hellfires as specific station code for IAF. Also skins are without US ARMY markings. So better to use this as it wil not overwrite anything in you weapons directory. Unless you named it same as me.
       
      Hellfire rails are made by FastCargo. I just rename it. I had some issues with loadouts. So again here you should depend on loadout.ini file.
      It always uses two rails upper M272 with two hellfires (up) and lower M299 (with two hellfires on bottom rails only)
      I don't know why but on loadout with 4 hellfires on M299 - in game it was always 3 shown. Strange.
      So to avoid conflicts with previous hellfire rails I made them as specific station code only for Peten.
       
      I am always using Specific station code so I don't have mess in Loadout menu. I can only see weapons that I can/need to carry.
       
      M260 and M261 Rocket launchers. There are two versions of these launchers CARC green and IAF Tan. Same as in my Cobra packs. You can overwrite (recomended). The only change here is display names. To avoid conflicts in loadout menu with previous launchers I changed CARCgreen to M260/M261.warhead.name.US and IAF Tan to M260/M261.warhead.name.IDF. You can overwrite. It wil still works with cobras and here with Peten and no mess with display names.
      Launchers uses my Mk66 hydra rockets. Also here in pack. Same as in latest Cobra packs.
       
      Important here is M230 ChainGun. It is a key to have a Peten mod for early green and late IAF camo.
      Gun is loaded by weaponstation. Also coded.
       
      New sound file for M230 is provided, with specific data entry into SOUNDLIST.ini.
       
      Stingers are available for loadout but i did not put it into loadout.ini. I never seen IAF Apaches with Stingers. Not much hostile flyers there ?
      No other IRM/ARM weapons allowed.
       
      GUNS
      -----------
      30MM_M230 same as in original Dels package but with edited sound file name.
       
      SKINS:
      ----------
      113 Tayeset as they started to use Peten in 1990 and later also 190 Tayeset starting 1995.
      190 Tayeset in new camouflaged tiger scheme from 2003/2004.
       
      All serial numbers as far as I know are historicaly correct, based on available information and photos.
       
       
      INSTALLATION
      ------------
      Copy files to specific folders.
       
       
      You can add the following to your squadronlist.ini
       
      [squadron ---]
      Name=113IAF
      DisplayName=113 Tayeset "Ha'Tsira'a"
      Nation=Israel
       
      [squadron ---]
      Name=190-2IAF
      DisplayName=190 Tayeset "Maga Hakesem"
      Nation=Israel
       
      Higly recomended to use Diego's helopilots.
      or you can use whatever you like by editing the
      AH-64A_Data.ini
       
      ----------------------------------------------------------------
       
      Hope I did not mess too much here.

    23. OH-6A Loaches in NAM

      Hughes OH-6A CAYUSE Ver 1.0 for SF2
      ver. 0.95
      This is a third party add on of the OH-6A CAYUSE using models* and cockpits created by me.
      *External model is build by my friend Tomek Wachowski and me, years ago for differnt purpose. Fortunately he found some early work files on his hard drive and brought to me. With some work i was able to bring it back to life. Technicaly it is 80% new model compared to original old one flying somewhere out there.
      The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
      I have just modified it a bit.

      This addon works only with my WeaponPACK (included in rar file). All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
       
      Standard commands for activating Loach features:
       
      OH-6A Loach:
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. Don't forget to retract before shooting.
       
      A2Ground mode - M70E1 gunsight.
       
      In OH-6A Cayuse model XM70E1 gunsight will apear in cockpit and external model only when gun is loaded on weaponstation.
       
       
      OH-6A Cayuse only:
       
      ANIMATION 8 - front left door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 9 - front right door (ext and cockpit view)
       
      ANIMATION 10 - rear door.
       
       
      This helicopteris build in two variants. First is ‚clean’ out of factory OH-6A Cayuse. Just small scout chopper. This is additional aircraft to main file here.
      OH-6A Cayuse as seen on many photos from Vietnam War. Known also as Loach.
      In this model you can switch to rear gunner positionand actualy really hit ground targets with M60. You just have to aim throug rear – front sight line. Like in real gun.
      It is not prefect but this game as you know is not supporting choppers, double cockpits and many many more things. So this time again it is just to have at least good feeling.
       
      Gunner is made as internal weapon not weapon station. This way is better. Gunner is set as SECONDARY GUN by default.
       
      You can really fly low and slow. And in Pink Team just mark targets for Cobra wingman.
      I am sugesting to fly low on 40-50% of throttle. around 45degree vector control, use pulse rudder to control left right, it is realy easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
      Important her to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
       
      Fuel. Remeber it is small chopper. And it can carry only around 54 US Gals of fuel. I belive it is enough for around 2 hours of flight here maybe little more.
       
      Skins.
      All serial numbers are historicaly correct.
      Paint schemes and markings. I was trying to be acurate as much as possible in paint schemes and markins. Some skins for unit are generic because there were some little diferences within unit itself. Plus this schemes represents aircrafts used bu units during 2-3 year of service.
       
       
      OH-6A Cayuse standard olive green paint with two serial numbers.
       
      OH-6A Loach. Here i was trying to match my AH-1G Cobra.
      All serial numbers are historicaly correct.
      D Company 227th AHB
      11th ACR
      C Troop 1/9 Cavalry
      D Troop 1/4 Cavalry
      D Troop 3/4 Cavalry
      C Troop 16th Cavalry
      F Troop 4th Cavalry
       
       
      Story about Weapon systems.
      Internal. Gunner with M60 400 round of ammo.
      No flash by default. Because with cocpit movement on gunner station it apear somewhere on elbow. better when it is not there. It can be easy changed by setting entry on M60 in aircraftdata.ini to TRUE
       
      Additional Weapons.
      - Weapon Station 1
       
      XM27E1 – M134 Minigun
      M27 - as above redesignated an unfaired Minigun M134 since 1969.
      XM8 – M129 40mm automatic grenade launcher. Not seen in Vietnam.
       
       
      Plus some extra weapons that were spotted on photos from Vietnam War.
       
      - Weapon Stations 2 & 3
      Up to two single tubes for Mk40 FFAR rockets attached on skids, with different warhead rockets. M151, M156, M229, M255A1, M259, M257, M247.
       
      - Weapon Station 6
      Experimental quad launcher unit developed by Rock Island Arsenal attached inside cargo compartment. Similiar to system mounted later in exported versions of H-500 Series. Very rare, seen on few pictures from Vietnam War but it was there.
      Do not mix Weapon station 2 and 6 on loadouts menu. Meaning to be correct 2 or 1 single tube OR Quad launcher.
       
      - Weapon Station 7
      Most interesting is 7 tube XM158 launcher attached to XM27 susbsytem instead of 7.62mm minigun. Very rare field mod probably instaled only on one aircraft (no. 67-16321). I just used two versions with M151 and M156 warheads.
       
      - Weapon Stations 4 & 5
      Smoke grenades. DO NOT GIVE THEM TO WINGMAN.
      Just five colours of smoke grenades, Yellow, White, Green, Red, Violet. I am not sure if this will support available color smoke effects. So probably wil need to create new smoke effects or mod smoke grenades.
       
      - Weapon Station 8
      Exhaust modification in late Loaches. Starting 1972 when SA-7 was threatening US crews this mod was often instaled on scout choppers. Same purpose as on late G Cobra models. I will apear on aircraft by default starting 1973 due to loadout.ini file.
       
      - Weapon Stations 9, 10, 11, 12.
       
      Not to be used on OH-6A !
      Purpose of this is to play Pink Team on single mission with armed AH-1G Cobra.
      In single mission on loadout menu you can change wingman aircraft to any available AH-1G Cobra and arm it with designated weapons for Cobra. If you don't like this option you can easly disable this by puting \ mark in data.ini file in front of weapon station entry.
       
       
      Have fun. Enjoy.
      Report bugs. Mod it your way.
      Hope I did not miss anything here
      Regards.
      More to come in OH-6 category.
