Modern Era Aircraft

Happy April Fools!
 
The Avro Canada Avrocar was originally designed as a vtol fighter-bomber, and was picked up by the US government. The low power of the engines, however meant that it could only lift off with ground effect about 1 metre, thus making it the world's first hovercraft, but not a terribly great fighter-bomber...
 
I made this as a challenge to myself in about two evenings, so it's kinda rough (port hardpoint doesn't work, no animations, etc.), but fun nonetheless. To make it true to the original concept, I scaled it up ~15% and gave it a flight model based on an A-4....
 
Have Fun!

Just in time for 06-06-06 .Finally i have finish my model the Su-47. THIS IS NOT A FINISH MODEL!!! PLEASE SOME ONE FINISH IT AND MADE IT FLYABLE!!!!
This should use the Mig-25 cockpit
because this was worked on during the 70's

This is the F-23A Black Widow II as if it had won the ATF competition.
 
This is Version 2.0 which now has a fully working 3d virtual cockpit and two extra internal hard points giving a total of 6 AMRAAMs internally.

Here is my completed model of the VF-0S Valkyrie from the anime Macross Zero. I need the help of other skilled modders to complete this aircraft. I made this to be freeware so nobody should have to pay for it and the only other thing I ask is that I be acknowledged as the creator of the original model. Inside the file you will find the model file in Gmax format as well as some performance specs and some illustrations I found at Macross World and Macross Nexus that should help anyone working on the flight model or skin. I have also included some images of the transformation process so anyone working on the animations has some reference to work off of.
 
Have fun with it!

Here it Is the SU-27 US version! The only changes are the skin (made by marcello) and the edited .INI files (edited by me).
 
I want to say thanks to marcello for letting me release the aircraft as an US aircraft! and for letting me use his awesome aircraft skin!

The Skunkworks has struck again.......

************************************************************************
************************ UCAVs 1.1 Update *****************************
************************************************************************
 
Updates to the X-45C / X-47C to make them more 'combat ready'.
 
Extra equipment includes:
 
Internal ECM
Expendables
Laser Designator
 
 
Weapons adjustment:
 
Weapons fit into the bays properly...which limits what you can carry.
Multiple weapons will sequence properly as well when dropped or fired.
 
 
Aircraft adjustment:
 
Aircraft now have manual weapon doors.
 
 
Remaining issues:
 
No cockpit. Drop in your own...think of it as a synthetic pit for a
future UCAV pilot.
Missiles don't drop, but fire as if off a rail. It has to do with the
type of weapon...most small missiles fire off rails. So, unless you
alter all the missiles a UCAV can carry...or the LODs are altered to
make trapeze weapon rails, its one of those things...
 
Use them for support on your missions, or drop in a cockpit and fly it
yourself. Get ready for the future...

Chengdu J-7IIH
The Chengdu Jian-7 (J-7, or F-7 in its export form) interceptor fighter aircraft is the Chinese copy of the Soviet/Russian Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21F-13 (NATO codename: Fishbed-C). The formal production model is the J-7B. A total of over 800 J-7s of various models have been built, with more than 500 operational with the PLA Air Force (PLAAF) and PLA Naval Air Force (PLANAF). Early variants of the J-7 have been gradually replaced by the upgraded models such as J-7E/F.
The J-7IIH is an improved version of the J-7II with enhanced ground attack ability. This version is fitted with utility pylons that can carry both AAMs and free-fall bombs.
PROGRAMME:
China and the Soviet Union agreed on the technology transfer of the Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21F-13 Fishbed-C fighter aircraft and its R-11F-300 turbojet engine in 1961. Along with the technical documents, several MiG-21F-13 fighters were also handed to the Chinese. Reverse engineering of the MiG-21 began in 1962, originally undertaken by Shenyang Aircraft Factory (now Shenyang Aircraft Industry Corporation, SAC), and later by Chengdu Aircraft Factory (now Chengdu Aircraft Industry Corporation, CAC). The Chinese-built MiG-21 took flight on 17 January 1966 and later received its official designation J-7.
The J-7 project, together with its technical staffs and manufacturing equipment were relocated to the newly established Chengdu Aircraft Factory located in the suburb of Chengdu city, Sichuan Province in 1965. The initial variant J-7 didn't enter production with only 12 prototype aircraft built for various tests. The first production variant J-7I (F-7A in its export name) with some minor modifications made its first flight in June 1976. This variant was built in limited numbers at Chengdu, but the production was soon suspended due to quality problems.
To meet renewed PLAAF's demands for modern fighter aircraft to replace the aging J-5 and J-6 fleets, the J-7 production line was re-opened in the early 1980s to build the improved J-7B (originally known as J-7II) introduced in 1978. Added with features from MiG-21PF Fishbed-E and MiG-21PFMA Fishbed-J, the J-7B features a redesigned rear-hinged cockpit canopy, a modified Wopen-7B (WP-7B) turbojet engine, and improved avionics. The J-7B and its later derivations were built in mass numbers for both domestic use and foreign customers between 1980s and 1990s. The production lasted until the mid-1990s when it was replaced by the more capable J-7E.
The role of the J-7 is to provide local air defence and tactical air superiority. Large numbers are to be employed to deter enemy air operations. In some cases the fighter can also serve as ground-attacker. Through steady upgrades with more power and avionics/weapon suites, the fighter can fulfil the basic requirements for short-range, daylight air defence missions. Later variants of the J-7 were also upgraded with Western avionics technology to improve their all-weather combat ability.
 
DESIGN:
The J-7 is single-seat, single-engine with mid-mounted delta wings and small square tips. The aircraft has a round air inlet in the nose and a single exhaust. The fuselage is a long, tubular body with a blunt nose and bubble canopy. A belly fin is located under the rear section. The tail fin is swept-back and tapered with a square tip. The flats are mid-mounted on the body, swept-back, and tapered with square tips.
The prototype J-7/A is the copy of the MiG-21F-13 Fishbed-C, while the J-7B has been added with features from MiG-21PF Fishbed-E and MiG-21PFMA Fishbed-J. Greater performance is secured by the use of a Wopen-7B turbojet providing more thrust, with the aid of a fully translating rather than three-position inlet centre-body used by the MiG-21, and by provision of a larger centreline drop tank.
Early variants J-7/A has a front-hinged cockpit canopy, while the J-7B and its successors use a back-hinged canopy to fit the indigenous rocket ejector seat. Early variants have a typical 1950s/60s-era cockpit with many mechanical instruments, making it difficult to fly and combat simultaneously. The cockpit of later variants has a user-friendlier layout, but still lacks features such as multi-function display (MFD) commonly seen on all modern combat aircraft.
WEAPONS:
The prototype J-7 was fitted with one 30 mm cannon. Later variants all have two 30mm Type 30-1 cannons with 60 rounds per gun in the lower sides of the fuselage.
Centre wing station is pumped to carry one 720-litre drop tank. Inboard wing stations can carry up to 1,000 kg of disposable stores (each unit rated at 500kg), typical weapons are PL-2, PL-2A, PL-5B and PL-7 short-range AAMs, free-fall weapons such as 500, 250, 100 and 50 kg bombs, and multiple launchers each carrying eighteen 55 mm or seven 90 mm unguided rockets. Outboard wing stations can carry bombs, multiple rocket launchers, or two 720-litre drop tanks.
AVIONICS:
Avionics configuration varies on different variants.
Fire-control: SM-3A optical sight (J-7); AFS-3A lead-computing sight with Type 222 ranging radar input (J-7II); GEC-Marconi Type 956 HUD, and weapon-aiming computer system with input from the GEC-Marconi Type 226 'Skyranger' ranging radar (F-7M/P); or Italian Grifo-7 fire-control radar (F-7PG).
Flight: WL-7 radio compass; 0101 HR A2 altitude radio altimeter; LTC-2 horizon gyro; XS-6 marker beacon receiver; VOR; Distance Measure Equipment (DME); Instrument Landing System (ILS).
Self-defence: Southwest China Research Institute of Electronic Equipment KG-8602 RWR interfaced with the South-West China Research Institute of Electronic Equipment KG-8605 internal radar noise jammer and China National Import and Export Corporation GT-1 chaff/flare dispenser, and Type 602 'Odd Rods' IFF.
 
 
POWERPLANT:
Most of the later variants of the J-7 are powered by a Liyang (LMC) Wopen-7B series (MNPK 'Soyuz' [Tumanskii] R-11-F300) turbojet, rated at 9,700 lb st (43.15kN) dry and 13,450 lb st (58kN) with afterburning.

Installation Guide
J-7IIH Beta
This is an unfinished beta. Install at your own risk. If it somehow screws up your computer, I will not be held accountable, but you may hurl abuse at me if you wish.
 
Unzip contents (making sure ?use folder names? is selected) to your Strike Fighters Objects\Aircraft\ directory. It will create a new folder called ?J-7H?.
 
E.g.: C:\Program Files\Strategy First\Strike Fighters\Objects\Aircraft\J-7H
 
Do not edit folder names or the .ini files (unless you are editing it deliberately).
 
To add any new skins that you have downloaded, do as follows:
 
Open the J-7H.ini and add this to the end
 
[TextureSetXXX]
Directory=
Name=
Nation=
Specular=1.00
Glossiness=1.00
Reflection=1.00
DecalMipMapLevels=3
 
 
XXX should be replaced with the numbers AFTER the previous entry.
Directory= the name of the folder should be the folder name of the skin file (if prepackaged, otherwise create a new folder and call it what you like-no spaces though, AFAIK-and enter its name into the line)
Name= the skins name (whatever you like so you know which one it is when choosing in game)
Nation= the planes main nation.
 
That should be it!
 
Many thanks to Howling1 (who?s original F-7 Iraqi plane I based this on), madcaddie and other members of the SF:P1 community-sorry if I?ve missed anyone!

Chengdu F-7A Export v1.95
 
=======================================
 
A. Installation Instructions:
 
NOTE: You need to have the most current Weapons Pack ( W/Updates ) installed.
SFP1 should be patched to SP3.1 standard. WOV should have Patch 2 installed.
 
1. Unzip & extract into your Strike Fighters or Wings Over Vietnam "Objects/Aircraft" directory.
 
2. Open the "Add To Sounds" folder and drop the .wav files into your SFP1 or WOV Sounds folder.
 
---------------------------------------
 
B. F-7A ( F-7 II ) History :
 
This is a mod of Gramps F-7M Airguard/Skybolt into the less sophisticated F-7A Export version. *This* is the fighter
that comes to mind with Western Defence Analysts when you mention Chinese Fighter. Basically a stripped down version
of the MiG-21F. These were the first F-7s offered for sale by China and lack features that China's own line J-7 IIs carried.
Primarily sold to African nations & Albania, these initial offerings could carry either Soviet IRMs or the early Chinese
copies. Principle users included Albania, Tanzania, Iraq ( wired for Matra R-550s ), and possibly the Iranian Islamic
Revolutionary Guards. Simplistic, even by African standards, this "no frills" fighter is what you want if you're more
interested in having a status symbol supersonic air force.
 
----------------------------------------
 
C. Changes In v1.95
 
1. Cockpit changed to A-4B for WOV compatability.
 
2. RWR added. ( Fubar's MiG RWR Sounds included )
 
3. Radar corrected, based on more accurate data.
 
4. MiG Fishbed C engine .wav now included.
 
5. Canopy decals by WhiteKnight included.
 
6. This mod includes the stock Soviet Silver skin modified to use the Soviet Killing Markings Decal Mod for all stock SFP1
MiGs availible at Lee Sullivan's SFP1 site ( http://home.att.net/~r.lee.sullivan/blackhawk-island.html ).
Many thanks to Lee for his permission to use this Mod.
