MiG-23FI non swing wing Flogger for SFP1, WOI, WOE, WOV
 
*************************************
HISTORY
*************************************
 
In the 60th the MiG-23 was developed as counterpart to the american F-111 fighters. In both superpowers the specialists had the strong belief, that the time of dogfight was over. The major task, so they thought, would be the high speed intercept mission. For that kind of warfare the MiG-23 was optimized.
In the local wars in late 60th it was proof, that the days of dogfight were far away to be over. In cotrary, the dogfight was still the major task of a fighter plane and for that kind of warfare the MiG-23 was not suited. So the MiG OKB started a development line to make the plane more agil, which finally led to the MiG-23ML, which was much better than the first MiG-23, but was also no born dogfighter. So in 1971 the MiG-OKB started to develope a high agile future frontline fighter (Project 9), which had its maidenflight in 1977 under the designation MiG-29.
One of the first studies of the project 9 showed a plane in size and shape of the MiG-23ML with F-15 like air intakes, two engines and non swing wings.
 
My MiG-23FI is fiction. It is one step back, a MiG-23ML look alike with non swing wings and dogfight optimized wings with aditionally hardpoints.
FI stands for "frontowoi istrebitjel" what means: Frontline fighter.

HISTORY
*************************************
This bird is fiction. First i saw such a plane in the very old computer game Harpoon.
In some scenarios the Tu-22M3 bombers were escorted by a fighter version of the Backfire
 
which was armed with long range missiles and a MiG-31 style radar.
When HoneyFox released his excellent Tu-22M3 bomber i remembered the old Harpoon
 
Story and modded the Backfire into a Fighter.
Have fun!

I.
 
In the 1980th the F-7M was a modernized export version of the chinese J-7II.
With the help of US american and british companies the Chinese put new avionics into the old airframe. Mainly the british Skyranger rangefinder radar and a HUD, but also an improved engine and 4 instead 2 wing hardpoints increased the combat capabilities of this bird. The F-7M was exported to Iraq, Egypt, Iran and other 3. world contries.

Su-22M4 Fitter-K "Susi"
 
***************************************************
Credits
***************************************************
This is a mod of Armourdaves Su-17 Fitter C. Dave, thanks for the permission to use your files.
 
My little share was to introduce the HUD and some modifications of the Data.ini. I implemented the guided weapons, added armour, reduced the fuel consumtion and modified the european style camo skin to a fictive east german Susi skin.
***************************************************
Su-22M4
***************************************************
The M4 was the last and most advanced version of the swing wing Fitter family. It was an unique combination of the very robust Fitter design and high developed computer technology.
It was known for it high survival capabilities. While in use in the LSK/LV (East German Air Force) the very robust Ljulka engine "eats" some birds and in one occasion a complete pitote tube without to suffer damage. While life firing tests in the USSR the tanks of the "Susi" were rippled by 12.7 mm and 23 mm bullets with the only result, that the technicians found the bullets "swimming" in the fuel. It was also said, that during Lebanon war 1982 not one single Su-22 was destroyed by israeli ground fire.
While the first Su-22 were simple dumb iron droppers the M4 had a wide range of high sophisticated guided Air to Ground missiles. This missiles were guided by Laser, TV and gave this bird a limited stand off capability. The high accurate missiles proved lethal pin point hit capability during Afghanistan campaign. Anti radar missiles were also part of the "Susi" armament.

MiG-29 isdelije 9.14 Sturmovik Fulcrum
 
*************************************
HISTORY of MiG-29 isdelije 9.14 development
*************************************
 
The MiG-29 is well known as an very spectacular fighter plane. From its first appearance on an airshow in the late 80th till today the MiG-29 is the star of each airshow.
 
Much less well known is the genisis story of this bird. It begann in 1972 when the Soviet Airforce demanded two new fighter designs. One long range escort plane and a frontline fighter. The MiG OKB decided to take on the competition and begann with the development of the project Isdelije 9.
3 variants of this plane were projected. Isdelije 9.10 as long range escort, is. 9.11 as frontlinefighter with MiG-23 avionics and armament for export and faster introduction into the soviet forces and finally the is. 9.12 as full scale frontline fighter.
In 1973 is. 9.10 was canceled because the Air Force choose the Sukhoi T-10 as long range escort fighter. In 1977 9.11 was canceled when it became obviesly that the Saphir-23 Radar does not fit into the MiG-29 fuselage. So is. 9.12 became the only MiG-29.
In 1982 the first MiG-29 (9.12) came to the units and already while the troop tests the pilots had 3 big demands. 1. more fuel for longer range. 2. an internal jammer. 3. a better air to ground capability.
To fullfill this requirements OKB MiG started the projects is. 9.13 (more fuel and jammer) and 9.14 (jammer and better air to ground capability)
9.13 development started in 1983. The fuselagetank No.1 was increased and the Berjoza jammer was installed.To have space for it in the fuselage the MiG-29 got a bigger back. From 1986 this plane was seen in the soviet fighter units. The NATO gave them the name Fulcrum-C, for the soviets it was still a MiG-29A (is. 9.13)
The development of the 9.14 was more difficult. The MiG-29 was from beginning a frontline fighter. What means, that it was intended to fight for the air superiority over the frontline, but also to support the fighting forces on the ground. In the air to ground role the MiG-29 (9.12) was twice as effective as the MiG-21 or 23, but only 15% as effective as a F-16A. To overcome this weakpoint it was decided to implement guided missiles of the Afghanistan war proven Cha-25 (Kh-25) family. It was planed to use the Cha-25ML laser guided missile, the Cha-25MP anti radar missile and the Cha-25MT TV guided missile. The guidance device was taken from the MiG-27M.
In the literature you can find two statements about the 9.14. The first said, the the laser/TV guidance device was built into a pod, which was carried under the central station, the other said, that the divice was built into the fuselage. (For my MiG-29 is. 9.14 i choose the later option, maybe, that it is wrong, maybe that it is correct. I dont know.)
In 1986 the 9.14 was ready for entering the production line, but the project came to a sudden stop. The reason was, that the air to ground capability of the MiG-29 is. 9.14 was dramatically increased, but it was still weaker than the F-16A (approx 66%). With first flight of the MiG-29M (is. 9.15) a much better Fulcrum was short for introducing. Its air to ground capability was better than the F-16A, it had a same efficency as the F-16C. It was decided to wait till the MiG-29M was available.
To stop the 9.14 introduction in the Soviet Air Force was a big mistake, because the breakdown of the Soviet Union stopped the MiG-29M development by nearly 15 years. So the MiG-29 had for a long period no real satisfying air to ground capability.

MiG-27K (K ... Korabelnui ... carrier based) for WoE
 
This is a mod of the stock MiG-27 of Wings over Europe.
It will not work with SFP1 and WOV because the lod files are not included.
If you want to use it with SFP1 or WOV you must extract the files MiG-27.lod
MiG-27_LOD2.lod
MiG-27_LOD3.lod

******************************************************
 
The MiG-27K was originally intended as attack plane of the soviet carriers of the Orel class. In the 70th the Orel was a high ranking aircraft carrier project of the Soviet Navy (Project 1153 if i remember right). It was canceled by Marshall Grechko who favored the Project 1143, the later Kiev class aircraft carrier.
The MiG-27K was build in 2 or 3 prototypes and were tested at the Saki facility (Crimea Penisula).
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
 
differences to stock MiG-27:
* modified flightmodel of the plane to improve the handling.
* added capability to land on aircraft carriers
* added some armour, so that the MiG-27 now can survive MG fire
* added on board jammer
* added 15 flares and 15 Chaff
* added Magos great MiG-21F cockpit (thanks for it Mago!)
* plane can now fly intercept and CAP missions
 
Known problem: You cant see the tailhook coming down.

The MiG-23MK is fiction, so far that no carrierborne MiG-23 was built in the Soviet Union. But during the 70th the Soviet Navy had a high ranking aircraft carrier programm (Orel or Orjol class). Orel was canceled by Marshall Grechko who favored the Project 1143, the later Kiev class aircraft carrier.
For soviet carrier groups the MiG-23 was the planned interceptor, the MiG-27 the intended strike plane. From both types prototypes were built, as far as i know, and were tested at the Saki facility at the Crimea penisula. With the canceling of the Orel was no need for seria production of the MiG-23MK.

F-31G Wirbelwind for SFP1,WOE,WOV,WOI
====================================
 
I. This is my mod of Dels F-31A MustangII for use in the first generation sims SFP1,WOE,WOI,WOV
 
II. I decided to make a german bird (thatswhy G for Germany), because the X-31 project was mostly financed by the germans. I also decided to make a more real life combat airplane instead of a test bird. So i switched of the Trust Vector plates and deleted a lot of ammo capabilities, reduced the thrust of the engine. Changed the afterburner emitter. Made some small changes in Flightmodel. I also choosed the F-15 cockpit which is standard in WOE and WOI.
Some changes were neccessary because some features not worled properly in WOE, WOI, SFP1.
 
III. All credits belongs to Dels who made this fantastic bird or SFP2
 
IV This mod is Freeware. Commercial use is NOT ALLOWED.

DISCLAIMER
----------
This is a third party add on of the F-31A using a model
and cockpit created by me.
 
It is designed for and works in the SF2 series of games.
 
VERSION NOTES
-------------
I have created this F-31A as if it went into production
and service during the 90's. So it is the F-31A (not X-31)
and the skin is for the 421st TFS, 388th TFW 'Black Widows'
based at Hill AFB.
 
The X-31 had no official or un-official nickname so I gave
it the name "Mustang II". If you don't like it, feel free to
change the AircraftFullName= in the F-31A.ini file.
 
The cockpit of the X-31 was a little too ancient, so I
modified my F-23A cockpit for this F-31A. This is also
what I would expect from an aircraft of the mid 90's.
 
The cockpit has visible pilot legs which were loaned to
me by Klavs81, so all the credit to him for those.
 
I have taken a bit of artistic licence as not a whole lot
of information was available on the aircraft.
 
In addition to wing and centerline drop tanks, I have also
included a special F-31 Dual Rail Adapter (DRA) for use with
IRM's and AHM's.
 
INSTALLATION
------------
Very simple, extract the files from the archive to your
C:\Users\*NAME*\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 folder.
 
Next,
 
You will need to add the following to your Squadronlist.ini
file which should be in your Flight AND Pilot Data folders.
This is so the Unit Names show up. (*NOTE* This is not
essential). Make sure the XXX is replaced with the next
number in sequence in your file:
 
[squadronXXX]
Name=421FS
DisplayName=421st TFS Black Widows
Nation=USAF
 
*NOTE* If you do not have a Squadronlist.ini file in your Flight
folder you will need to extract it from the MissionData001.CAT
file in your Flight folder using the CatPack utility.
 
That's it.
 
You will need Diego's MODUSAF pilot skin for the pilot,
or you can use whatever skin you like by editing the
F-31A_Data.ini file.
 
REMOVAL
-------
Reverse the above steps.

Mirage2000EM Egypt
*****************
version 1.1
 
In is version of the Mirage2000EM i have changed the flightmodel to fit in the October2008 patch. With the old flightmodel the Mirage had the tendency to overroll and by using the autopilot to overpitch while landing approach.
With version v1.1 the Mirage200EM had become again a very good dogfighter with acceptable handling capabilities.
 
Hope you enjoy it.

MiG-23PFM Fishtail-D Beta
*****************
----------------------------------------------------------
I. History
 
This is a "What if" plane. It was not real, but could have been it if the E-8 development line would not have been canceled in 1962.
Imagine: A lot of MiG ingenieurs did not agree with Mikoyans decision to stop the E-8 program. They made a proposal to use proven elements of the E-8 and the MiG-21PF to start a new project called E-9. Mikoyan agreed and intended to use the E-9 as gap filler till his favored project E-11, the later swing wing MiG-23 Flogger, was ready. In autumn 1963 the E-9 was ready for flight tests. It was a combination of MiG-21PF engine, wings and avionics with a new fuselage, tail and canards. The E-9 was accepted by the soviet air force in spring 1964 and entered the production line in summer 1964 as MiG-23F.
In 1966 the Soviet Air Force demanded to equip the new fighter with state of the art avionics and to increase the range. So the MiG-23 Fishtail got a bigger fuselageback fueltank, a modified vertical tail, a mirror on the canopy. Other modifications are the more powerfull R-13 engine and the Saphir-21 Radar, but in the version RP-23. It is not widely known, that the Saphir 21 was originaly developed for the E-8. Only with a smaller antenna it could be fitted in the MiG-21 as RP-22. The smaller antenna reduced the detection range of this radar by 10 km. An other welcome addition of the PF is the ability to carry one gunpod under the left wing root.
In 1970 the last and most advanced version of the Fishtail was accepted by the Soviet Air Force. New features were the R-25 engine and the big backfueltank. The combat abilities were incresed by a now internal GSha-23 gun, double short range IR missile rails and chaff flare dispensers.
 
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
II.
Known issues. It is still a beta. I know that the flight gear movement is not perfect. I know, that the skin is only a test shot, quick and dirty. etc.
I will try to make it better as fast as possible.
 
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
III.
 
CREDITS: I want to say thank you to a lot of guys who helped me with files, ideas and hints. First of all i want to say thank you to Ricardo Batalha whos MiG-21 gmax file was the basic for this bird. Thanks to EricGen, Amokfloo, Blackbird, Wrench ... for their hints and ideas. A big thanks to Paladrian for the Cockpit.
And again a big thank you to TK for the MiG-21 flight modell that i modded to make this bird.

F-16D Brakeet for WOI
Heyl Ha Avir (Israeli Air Force)
-------------------------------------------------
 
I. This mod is written for WOI
--------------------------------------------------------------
II. The Heyl Ha Avir was the first Air Force who used the F-16D double seater mostly not as training aircraft, but as strike plane. The israeli Name of this bird is Brakeet what means Thunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------
III. I used the F-16D.lod of TeamViper, added TK's original Flightmodel of the F-16A and modded it to fit the F-16D Brakeet data. Differences to the original model are also, that i made the nose gear stearing, the ailerons are moving now. Chaff and Flares are shooting now upward. I added a Laser system etc pp...
I modded TK's original cockpit and avionics in that way, that now BVR missiles are available. The Radar screen now shows the naming of the different modes (not more 3 times AIR, but RWS,TWS,LOCK)
Finally i took Wilcos F-16 skin, modded it a little bit.
All this parts i put together to have a israeli F-16D Brakeet.

F-16B Netz Blk 5 for WOI
Heyl Ha Avir (Israeli Air Force)
-------------------------------------------------
 
I. This mod is written for WOI
--------------------------------------------------------------
II. The Heyl Ha Avir was the first Air Force who used the F-16B double seater in majority not as training aircraft, but as strike plane. The israeli name of this bird is Netz what means Falcon.
---------------------------------------------------------------
III. Credits: I used the F-16B_Netz.lod of TeamViper (USAFMTL, Swede,Wpnsgt etc.), added TK's original Flightmodel of the F-16A and modded it to fit the F-16B Netz data. The F-16B Netz now handles very well, take of speed at apporx 300 kph, landing speed approx 280 kph, 360° curve at 1000 meters with start speed 800 kph in 20 seconds.
Differences to the original model are also, that i made the nose gear stearing and the Chaff and Flares are shooting now upward. etc pp... Unfortunatly i was unable to make the ailerons moving. I tried it and it worked well, but the flaps started sometimes to flicker. Thatswhy i removed the working ailerons again.
I implemented TK's original cockpit and avionics and modded it a little bit so that the Radar screen now shows the naming of the different modes (not more 3 times AIR, but RWS,TWS,ACM,LOCK).
All this parts i put together to have a israeli F-16B Netz.
To say it clearly. I made only the finish. The credit of 99% of this bird belongs to team Viper and TK. The other 1% is mine.

F-16C Heyl Ha Avir (Israeli Air Force) for WOI
-------------------------------------------------
 
I. This mod is written for WOI
--------------------------------------------------------------
II. This is a mod to represent the F-16C, as it is flow by the IAF.
---------------------------------------------------------------
III. I used the great F-16A_blk15-belge LOD of the Mirage Factory (thanks for the permission to use it), added TK's original flightmodel of the F-16A and modded it to fit the F-16C data, gave the flares and chaffs an other ejection direction, made the frontgear stearing etc. Then i modded TK's original cockpit and avionics in that way, that now BVR missiles are available. The Radar modi now are displayed in the radar screen (not only Air anymore, but RWS,TWS,ACM,LOCK)
Then i asked Alejandro, wheter he could make a new lod file which contains antennas and a modified tail section similar to PeacePumas chilean F-16C. He made it for me, gave it a different color, so that i was able included it in the israeli bird. Finally i took Wilcos F-16 skin of the 115. Squadron, modded it a little bit.
All this parts i puzzeled together to have a israeli F-16C Barak. To say it clearly: I made only the finish, only approx. 1% of the job. The other 99% are made by Mirage Factory, TK, Alejandro and Wilco. And they did a great job!
