    3. Mirage 2000C1

      Mirage2000C1 France
      *****************
      version1.1
       
      In the first version the ammo capability of my Mirage2000C1 was a little bit overrated. Sorry, my fault. Now i have corrected the loadout of this bird.
      The Matra Super530 semi active missiles are not longer available for the fuselage weapon stations. Now you can load 2 of them under the inner wing stations. Laser guided Bombs now can be carried under the wing and under the fuselage. 2 AS-30L laser guided missiles can be armed under the wings. One Martel Anti Radar Missile is possible at the centerline station.
      Also i have reduced the gun ammo from 150 to 125 rounds per gun.
       
       
      ----------------------------------------------------------
      I.
       
      This is a mod of Erwin_Hans Taiwanese Mirage2000-5.
       
      When the Mirage 2000 came to the squadrons the first 37 jets still had the weaker engine M53-5, the originally only for export intended radar RDM and no air refuel probe. From the 38. jet they got the more powerfull RDI radar and the M53-P2 engine. This mod represent the first version of the french Mirage-2000C, called Mirage 2000C1
       
      +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      II.
       
      Changes: - weaker engine to represent the M53-5
      - other Radar and weaker avionics
      - i use the F-15A cockpit which is the closest available to the Mirage2000 cockpit
      - new skin
      - changes in the Flightmodel to overcome the tendency to overroll and by using the autopilot to overpitch while landing approach
       
      +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      III.
       
      CREDITS:
       
      I want to say thank you to Erwin_Hans for the permission to mod his Mirage2000-5.
      The original 3D Model was made by aleks
      The flight Model was done by IAFmars and YEYEYE and Erwin_hans
       
       
      ----------------------------------------------------------
      IV.
       
      INSTALLATION:
       
      -Unzip all files into your objects/aircraft folder.
       
      -For the case that you have no weaponpack you will find all Mirage2000C1 weapons in the included Weapons folder. To install follow the instructions in the readme there.

    4. F-31G Wirbelwind

      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.
       
       
      I hope you enjoy this mod.

      ROCKWELL/MBB F-31A MUSTANG II Ver 1.0
      --------------------------------------------------------
       
      By Dels
       
      Dated 25th January 2010
       
      ********************************************************
      MAY BE USED IAW COMBATACE FREEWARE LICENSING POLICY
       
      http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=26131
      ********************************************************
       
      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.
       
      CREDITS
      -------
      Aircraft Model/Skins/Decals, Flare/Weapon positions,
      FM and Performance figures, Hangar/Loading/Loadout screens,
      and Lighting positions -All me!!!
       
      Cockpit Model and Skins -Also all me!!!
       
      Klavs81 - Pilot legs in the cockpit

      THANKS
      ------
      Thanks to all on the forum for their continuing and always
      useful support.
       
      Hope you enjoy it as much as I have had making it.

    6. F-16C Barak Heyl Ha Avir (IAF) for WOI

      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!

    7. F-16B Blk 5 Netz Heyl Ha Avir (IAF) for WOI

      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.

    9. Tu-22M3P EscortBackfire

      Tu-22M3P EscortBackfire
       
      *************************************
      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!
       
      **********************************************
      Tu-22M3P for WOE, WOV, WOI, SFP1 credits
      **********************************************
      While making the EscortBackfire i used a lot of files made by other modders. Thanks for this
       
      files!
       
      The plane itself:

      I edited the Data file to implement the air to air missiles, added the ECM and Chaffs etc,
       
      modded the radar and HUD.
       
       
      I hope that i havent forgotten someone to give the proper credit.

    16. Su-30 B-60

      The Su-30 started out as an internal development project in the Sukhoi Su-27 family by Sukhoi. The design plan was revamped and the name was made official by the Russian Defense Ministry in 1996. Of the Flanker family, only the Su-27, Su-30, Su-34 and Su-35 have been ordered into serial production by the Defense Ministry. All the others, such as Su-37, were prototypes.
      The Su-30 has two distinct version branches, manufactured by competing organisations: KnAAPO and the Irkut Corporation, both of which come under the Sukhoi group's umbrella. KnAAPO manufactures the Su-30MKK and the Su-30MK2, which were designed for and sold to China, and later Indonesia, Venezuela and Vietnam. Due to KnAAPO's involvement from the early stages of developing Su-35, these are basically a two-seat version of the mid-1990s Su-35. The Chinese chose an older but lighter radar so the canards could be omitted in return for increased payload. It is a fighter with both air superiority and attack capabilities, generally similar to the U.S.F-15E.[6]

    17. Avro Canada CF-103 Archer

      Avro Canada CF-103 Arrow for Strike Fighters 1
      This is a simple mod of the excellent Shenyang F-8IIM 'FinBack-B' brought to us by Erwin_Hans back in 2008 to make a fictional Canadian cold-war interceptor with markings for the following RCAF squadrons;
      No.409 Squadron (Blue & Yellow Rudder Stripes)
      No.410 Squadron (Red & White Rudder Stripes)
      No.414 Squadron (Black & Red Rudder Stripes)
      No.416 Squadron (Black & Yellow Rudder Stripes)
      No.425 Squadron (Black & Silver Rudder Stripes)
       
      N.B. 1960's RCAF markings are a bit of a challenge as they changed so often so I've just gone for a mid-1960's snapshot!

      BACKSTORY
      Serving with no less that nine front-line RCAF squadrons at its peak in the mid-1950's, the Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck provided all-weather defense against Soviet intruders and the four Canuck squadrons based in Europe from 1956 to1962 were, for some time, the only NATO fighters capable of operating in zero visibility and poor weather conditions. However, recognising the fact that the Soviet Union was working on newer jet-powered bombers the RCAF began looking for a missile-armed replacement for the CF-100 even before it had entered service and in January 1953 the RCAF's All-Weather Interceptor Requirements Team submitted a report to the Canadian Government outlining their requirements.
      In response, Avro Canada came up with three distinct proposals;
      1. A subsonic CF-100 development with a thinner swept wing and tail surfaces and with external missile stores (CF-100S).
      2. A single-seat supersonic delta-winged aircraft with twin engines and external missile stores (CF-103).
      3. A large two-seat supersonic delta-winged aircraft with twin engines and an internal missile bay (CF-105).
       
      After a full year of reviewing Avro Canada's proposals the RCAF announced in February 1954 that they considered that the CF-103 represented the optimum balance between cost, efficacy and in-service date and requested that Avro Canada should be awarded a production contract for 200 CF-103's. To keep costs down the RCAF stipulated the use of two key 'off the shelf' items; the Hughes MA-1 fire control system (from the Convair F-102A) and the Rolls-Royce Avon afterburning turbojet (from the English Electric Lightning). Whilst both items were actually still under development themselves, they were considered to be a safer choice than any home-grown paper project and likely to reach maturity for the projected in-service date of 1960. The only area of risk was the decision to arm the CF-103 with the radical British ADEN 230 twin-barreled cannon in a streamlined semi-conformal installation carrying the cannon and with a 500 round ammunition drum stored immediately above and inside the fuselage.
      The CF-103 used the then fashionable delta-wing configuration but with slab tailplanes and, in order to house a large radar set, the CF-103  used a solid nose with variable geometry air intakes on the fuselage with intake ramps and splitter plates which proved to be a perfect match for the Avon RB.146 turbojet engines each rated at 12,500 lbs thrust dry and 16,500 lbs thrust with afterburner. The aircraft was intended to be built directly from the production line thus skipping the traditional hand-built prototype phase and luckily very little re-design was required as testing progressed. On October 4th 1957, the same day as the launch of Sputnik 1, the first CF-103A was rolled out at Avro Canada's facility at Malton, Ontario eventually making it's first flight on December 30th, 1957 with Chief Development Test Pilot Janusz Zurakowski at the controls. Flight testing quickly demonstrated excellent handling and overall performance, reaching Mach 2.1 in level flight. Development was slowed slightly due to problems with the Hughes MA-1 Fire Control System and the ADEN 230 twin-barreled cannon but the first two CF-103A's entered service with No.425 Squadron on August 15th, 1961 in a ceremony at RCAF Namao, Alberta becoming fully operational by the end of the year.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the Aircraft folder drag and drop the CF-103A and CF-103B folders into your Aircraft folder.
      That's it! But why are there two aircraft?
      Firstly, I wanted to show this aircraft with AIM-4D Falcons so chose the CF-103A for that but to get Falcons to appear in 1963 I've had to use 'USAF' as the nation name in both the data.ini and textureset.ini which allows a 1963 in service date instead of the 1966 (the allowable export year of the AIM-4D).
      Secondly, I like the look of the black intakes used on the CF-103B which are an affectionate nod towards the mighty CF-105 Arrow. So all five CF-103B skins have black intakes whilst the CF-103A has grey intakes and the continuous 'cheat line' but you can swap things around to suit your own preferences.

      CREDITS

    18. Chengdu F-7A Export v1.95

      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.
       
       
      ----------------------------------------
       
      Credits :
       
      1. Hangarscreen, & F-7 concept by Gramps.
       
      2. MiG RWR sounds by Fubar512.
       
      3. MiG Kill Markings Mod by Lee Sullivan.
       
      4. Geg Gunsight by Geg Etendard.
       
      5. Blessings on WhiteKnight for coming up with Canopy Decals to "Plate Over" the glass area behind the pilot's seat in the F-7s.
       
       
      Again special thanks to Richard "Gramps" Kaminski from whom's F-7M Airguard/Skybolt that this mod is based.
