This is second version of my previous Lahatut.
It is updated in lod, data.ini,skins,decals etc.
New decal sets covering all 36 numbers.
I have added also Lahatut 500E unarmed version.
Ive named both aircrat diferently than previous ones to avoid confusion.
Highly recomended to delete old one.
Do not mix old and new files...as it will not work well.
******************IMPORTANT******************
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 but I am not sure if IAF ever bought minigun subsystem.
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 using rudder and vector thrust control.
Skins.
All numbers are historicaly correct and are based on available photos. But I am not sure if those numbers are 100% correct for specific unit.
Tayeset 160. First operational unit of Lahatut. It was used by 160Sq during first Lebanon War with AH-1S(mod)
Tayeset 161.
Tayeset 190. Formed in 1985 with aircrafts transfered from 160 and 161 sqns.
Flight School also aquired few aircrafts in mid 90s.
Weapons.
TOWs - BGM-71 A/B/C/D.
M260 7 tube rocket launcher with several different warheads.
Weapons are the same as in previous helicopter packs, so if you downloaded AH-1S(mod) no need to copy weapons.

Flying.
As with all my previous helos flying is quite easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.

set of skins to represent early Luftwaffe and Army models.
serials and codes covers all V43 used in Germany by all units.

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.

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.

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 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:

Enjoy.
Edit your way.
Hope everything is working fine.

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.
Enjoy.
