  1. SF2NA Ultimate Carriers Pack

    SF2NA Ultimate Carriers Pack
     
    This package collects a large number of aircraft carriers available at CombatAce, puts them into one package with semi-standardized data tweaks, numerous error corrections, complete SF2NA conversions, and touched up or overhauled skins. Also included are several new carriers based on existing models. This package is thus designed as an ultimate one-stop shop for all carriers available at CombatAce, exclcuding USN and Soviet carriers.
     
    Please note that there are no new models in this package. All models included here have been released before on CombatAce. Indeed, most (but not all) of carriers included here have been released previously with rudimentary SF2NA conversions applied.
     
    So, why re-release these carriers in this package? This package brings several new things to the table, including:
     
    - corrected DATA.INIs (basic ship data, catapult data, angled deck configuation, etc.)
    - several tweaked or significantly overhauled skins
    - indexed decal sets to represent various carrier classes
    - several newly created individual ships (usually to represent particular carriers
    at specific stages of their service lives)
     
    The majority of the ships here are Royal Navy carriers, though you will also find carriers from Canada, Australia, India, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and France.
     
    Please read the remainder of this ReadMe carefully, as important instructions regarding installation and use are included below.
     
     
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    What's Included
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     
    This package includes 34 different carriers, which are organized by carrier class or by nation (in the case of France, Italy, & Spain). Some of these carriers are set up to represent entire classes or partial classes, with decals indexed by ship number.
     
    Please note that you may find several different versions of the same carrier, each configured to represent the same ship at a different stage of its service life.
     
    There are also several fictional or "faux" carriers.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Installation Requirements
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     
    All of the carriers included in this package are configured for use with "Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic" (SF2NA). Thus, for any particular install you plan to use one of these carriers in...
     
    - SF2NA must be part of the install base (even if other SF2 titles
    such as SF2V or SF2E are also merged into the install)
    - the game .EXE you use must be either the main SF2NA executable
    (StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic.EXE) or a re-named copy of it in
    the case of custom mod installs.
     
    If you try to use these carriers in an install that does not conform to the above requirements, you will likely find your aircraft sinking into or falling through the carrier deck.
     
     
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Installation
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     
    All of the files to be installed can be found in \To_Mods_Folder. The task of installing the various bits included here is fairly straightforward. For any particular install that you want to install carriers to, do the following:
     
    1. Install the supporting files
     
    Supporting files include all the files found in the following folders, which should be copied or moved to the corresponding folders in your Mods folder:
     
    \Effects
    \Flight
    \Objects\Guns
    \Objects\Weapons
    \Sounds
     
    Please note that the \Flight folder does include a new SOUNDLIST.INI. If your destination Mods folder already has a customized SOUNDLIST.INI, you can simply add the new entries from For_SOUNDLIST.txt (found in the root of this package) instead of overwriting your entire custom SOUNDLIST.INI.
     
    2. Add the carriers
     
    The carriers themselves can be found in the numbered directories (which are organized by class or nation). The carriers should be installed to \Objects\GroundObject in your Mods folder.
     
    DO NOT simply grab all the numbered directories and drop them in the GroundObject folder, as they won't show up in game. Instead, you will need to drag and drop the particular carrier folders from within the numbered directories.
     
    3. Add the decals
     
    For any carriers that you install you should also install the corresponding decals, found in \Objects\Decals. Decals go to the same location in your Mods folder (\Objects\Decals). The decals folders for carriers are named the same as the corresponding carrier that uses them. Please note that there are a few carriers that do not have decals.
     
    4. Install the LODs for Hermes & Viraat
     
    We were not able to include the LOD files needed for the HMS Hermes ('80s) and the INS Viraat (which uses the same model as the Hermes). You will need to download the "Falklands '82 for SF2" package from CombatAce, which includes the necessary LODs:
     
    http://combatace.com/files/file/13296-sf2-falklands-mod-redux/
     
    When the download is unpacked, you can find the ncessary LOD files in this location:
     
    \_For_SF2NA\Objects\GroundObject\Hermes
     
    Copy the .LOD files to the folders for the the Hermes and Viraat, which are included in the \1c_Centaur_Class directory of this carrier pack.
     
    Once the LODs are installed, make a COPY of the R12-R2b.LOD in each folder and rename it to R12-R2b_COL.LOD (this is the collision LOD for the ship).
     
    * * *
     
    That's it. You should be good to go.
     
    If any carriers are not showing up properly in the game, that's because you didn't install them correctly. My advice will always be to review the steps above, consult the Knowlede Base at CombatAce.com for the relevant articles on installing mods to Mod folders, and try again.
     
     
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Notes
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     
    A few notes about the carriers included in this pack.
     
    1. Decal problems: many of the models included in this pack suffer from decal problems -- decal bleeding, mirroring, doubling, and occasional distortion. Although I have tried to minimize these problems as much as possible, you might see decals being inappropriately mirrored, often in a distorted fashion, in odd locations on some of these boats. Also, to minimize problems, I have occasionally positioned decals slightly forward or aft (or above or below) where they ideally ought to be.
     
    2. Texture mapping problems: some of these models also suffer from texture mapping issues, which means that sometimes things just quite don't line up properly or aren't perfectly mirrored from one side of the boat to the other (because the texture map is effectively wrapped around the model in an odd fashion).
     
    3. BPC Mistral: included in this package is an alternate skin for the BPC Mistral named FNGrey. I would have liked to make it the default, but discovered that the bridge area of this carrier is simply not mapped -- meaning that part of the island will always remain the default light blue. Also, decals will not show up properly on large parts of the hull, which means that I haven't been able to use them for the hull numbers of the three ships in this class. Thus, we're stuck the painted-on hull numbers for the lead ship of the class.
     
    4. R91 de Gaulle: the model for this carrier is very poly heavy (I'm guessing because of the static aircraft and deck crew included). On some PCs game performance and frame rates might lag severely. As with the Mistral (from the same author), some parts of the model simply aren't mapped, which has limited what I've been able to do with the skin.
     
    Finally, it's worth pointing out that many of the models included in this package date from 2004-2006. The oldest are seven or eight years old -- created during the first few years of the ThirdWire series. Although they still stand up fairly well, they are showing their age. Carriers (and ships more generally) seem to be some of their more difficult jobs that modelers can tackle in the ThirdWire series (along with cockpits), so we should be thankful that we have the models we do.

  2. CVN-75 Harry S. Truman - Modern CVW-3

    This Carrier Project Made its debut for Strike Fighters : Project 1 in March of 2006.
     
    Since then three more versions were released for Thirdwire’s Gen 1 Titles.
    There are a few more revisions done afterwards to the model for Gen 1 titles by other 3d artists in the Modding community.
     
    This is Version 1.0 Gold of the current 3d Model, and has been extensively worked on to bring the quality and immersion level higher than in previous releases.
     
    This will be the last version of this 3D Model released, work on a new model has begun that will allow me to bring the graphics detail up to higher standards with the newest features.

  3. CVN Ulyanovsk


    CVN Ulyanovsk



    by



    Julhelm


     
    This model represents the Soviet Project 1143.7 CVN Ulyanovsk, as it probably would have appeared had the project had been carried through to completion.
     
    I won't go into the actual history of the ship, as it's just as easy for anyone so inclined to perform an online search and dig up all the relevant details on the vessel.
     
    This model was designed and optimized for SF2:NA, and that means Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. At the very least it requires the latest SF2 series patch for its systems and DX10 visual effects to work properly.
    To install this package, simply place the folders located inside the .RAR archive into the mod folder of whichever SF2 title you desire the ship to appear in.
     
    Additional work may be required on your part to ensure that the ship's TEWS RWR symbol (SkyWatch) is added to the RWR list of any aircraft so equipped. Instructions on how to do this, can be found on the SF2 knowledge base, courtesy of EricJ:
    http://combatace.com/topic/44441-making-a-custom-tga-for-tews-radar-warning-recievers/
     
    Sound effects will also require editing of the soundlist.ini file in order to work.
     
    I’ve included a modified soundlist.ini file, for those who do not have it extracted.
     
    Warning: Be careful if you already have an existing custom soundlist.ini file, as it will be overwritten. In that case, simply add the following lines (shown below), taking care to follow the existing numbering sequence (the soundlist.ini will reside in your flight folder). Use the supplied soundlist.ini as a guide.
    SoundFileXXX=Underway
    SoundFileXXX=ReductionGear
    SoundFileXXX=CIWS
     
    [underway]
    Priority=Normal
    3DSound=TRUE
    DopplerEffect=TRUE
    Looped=TRUE
    NumBuffers=2
    MaxDist=250.000000
    MinDist=10.000000
    InsideConeAngle=360
    OutsideConeAngle=360
    ConeOutsideVolume=100
     
    [ReductionGear]
    Priority=NORMAL
    3DSound=TRUE
    DopplerEffect=TRUE
    Looped=TRUE
    NumBuffers=4
    MaxDist=2000.000000
    MinDist=10.000000
    InsideConeAngle=360
    OutsideConeAngle=360
    ConeOutsideVolume=100
     
    [CIWS]
    Priority= Normal
    Looped=TRUE
    NumBuffers=2
    3DSound=TRUE
    DopplerEffect=FALSE
    MaxDist=2000.000000
    MinDist=50.000000
    InsideConeAngle=360
    OutsideConeAngle=360
    ConeOutsideVolume=100
     
    Known issues:
     
    1) The supplied SA-N-11 Kortik SAMs are not precisely scaled, so they were placed in the center of each Kashtan's missile tube cluster. They also do not have a defined booster stage in their model file, so don't expect booster separation. Also, the actual SA-N-11 is guided by an optical tracking system in real life. Again, this is not supported by the series, so they were given high counter-measure rejection and probability of intercept values, to compensate.
     
    2) As of the present date (October 7 2012) Third Wire does not support a PROPER VLS system on a vessel that's also equipped with mutiple SAM types, on slewable mounts. To put it simply, one can have a working VLS system and nothing else, or one can have working Kashtans. I chose the latter option, though the nodes and missiles are supplied if this situation were to change in the future.
     
    3) Third Wire has not made provisions for a working "ski-jump", so virtual bow catapults are used instead, and aircraft thus launched will appear to fly through the bow ramp.

  5. LHA for SF2

    ****************************************************************************
    *** LHA Assault Ship For SF2 ***
    ****************************************************************************
     
    This is an update and repaint to Kesselbrut's LHA Assault Ship.
     
    HrntFixr's HMLA 269 Cobra skin was used for the static Cobra's.
     
    Please do not include in any payware mods.
     
    ****************************************************************************
    *** Installation ***
    ****************************************************************************
     
    Copy the contents of the LHA_SF2 folder into your SF2 MOD folder.
     
    ****************************************************************************
    *** USE ***
    ****************************************************************************
     
    Decals where included for the following ships, make sure "ShipNumber" is
    correctly set:
     


     
    LHA 1 USS TARAWA
    LHA 2 USS SAIPAN
    LHA 3 USS BELLEAU WOOD
    LHA 4 USS NASSAU
    LHA 5 USS PELELIU

     
    AI aircraft do not use thrust vectoring, so there are workarounds used.
    Catapults are used so they will get airborne, and arrestor cables are used
    to get them back aboard.
     
    The two parked AV-8B's are placed there via catapults 5 & 6. These
    catapults have an infinate launch time. This means you have to have 6
    members in your flight for them to show, and #5 & #6 will never take off,
    unless you <ALT+N>.
     
    Remove the two lines from LHA_DATA.INI if you don't want cat's 5 & 6:
     


     
    SystemName[008]=Cat5
    SystemName[009]=Cat6

     
    "Carrier_Take-Off Harrier.MSN" is included as an example. You have to have
    the stock VietnamSEA terrain and the AV-8B_da aircraft for the mission to
    show up in-game.
     
    Finally, some of the textures are extremely large. Down-size them if
    needed.
     
    Post at CombatAce if you have any other questions.

  7. CVN Ulyanovsk

    CVN Ulyanovsk v1.0 for SF2
     
    This is the cancelled Soviet nuclear carrier Ulyanovsk as it would have appeared had it been finished. Works fine in campaigns.
     
    Uses a few big textures. If your computer can handle Ravenclaw's Buccaneer it can probably handle this.
     
    Oh, and planes will generally launch through the skijump unless you use plenty of flaps. I tried having them launch diagonally but tbh either way looks as dumb. If you absolutely cannot live with it change the catapult ID's in the .ini.
     
    Known Issues:
     
    None that I know of.
     
    Credits:
     
    Model & textures by me except a few bits that were borrowed from TW CV-63 carrier.
     
    These are: Catapult rails, deck trucks, railings and deck underside.

  8. LHA mod for stock SF2NA version

    *************************************************************************
    ***** LHA Mod For Strike Fighters NA *****
    *************************************************************************
     
    This is a mod to make the stock LHA from SF North Atlantic usable as an aircraft
    carrier.
     
    You must have SF North Atlantic for this to do anything for you.
     
    *************************************************************************
    ***** Installation *****
    *************************************************************************
     
    Drop the contents of the "LHA" folder into the top level of your mod folder.
     
    If you choose to, drop the contents of "Optional_Files" into the top level of
    your mod folder as well. Details below...
     
    *************************************************************************
    ***** Notes *****
    *************************************************************************
     
    For single missions and parked aircraft to work properly:
     
    - A terrain with limited nations needs to have "USMC" as a FriendlyNation in
    it's nations file. A modified ICELANDNA_NATIONS.INI is included
     
    - If you're using Battle Groups in user-made missions, make sure the group's
    nation is set to "USMC"
     
    - For parked aircraft to show up, they must be "USMC" and have
    "CarrierBased=TRUE" and "CarrierParkSpan=2.00" in their _data.ini. A
    modified version of AV-8A_DATA.INI for Wrench's AV-8A is included.
     
    - The first catapult has no effect, and requires you to use thrust vectoring
    to take off. This also means your flight as to be limited to a max of 4,
    or the 5th aircraft will crash on takeoff.
     
    - AI aircraft don't use thrust vectoring to land, and must land with a fake
    arrestor hook to come aboard. One is included in the modified
    AV-8A_DATA.INI.
     
    - This was tested with Wrench's AV-8A, and the _data.ini included
     
    http://combatace.com/files/file/11938-av-8a-harrier-for-sf2/
     
    *************************************************************************
    ***** Bugs *****
    *************************************************************************
     
    Non-STOVL, USMC aircraft, sometimes have the LHA defined as their home base, in
    single missions. Setting "CarrierBaseSize=SMALL" for the LHA and
    "MinBaseSize=MEDIUM" for the aircraft, does not prevent this. Maybe this is
    something TK will fix for us.

  9. Essex class (long-hull) aircraft carrier

    This model represents the long-hull straight-deck Essex class aircraft carriers, beginning with CV-14 USS Ticonderoga circa 1944. These ships were about 5 meters longer than the original CV-9 Essex, and featured heavier anti-aircraft armament.
     
    Two versions of the ship are included: The original WW2 configuration, and the jet-capable Korean War era modernization. Decals for each unit are included. Random aircraft parking has been designed for currently available models with folding wings.
     
    In addition to its complement of aircraft, each ship is armed with a battery of twin 5" guns and single 5" guns, plus a vast number of 40mm Bofors and 20mm Oerlikon anti-aircraft guns.

  10. CV HMS Victorious, R38 by Hinchbrooke for SF2

    HMS Victorious (R38) Aircraft Carrier by Hinchbrooke
     
    = For SF2, Any and All =
     
    This is the aircraft carrier HMS Victorious as she appeared "post 1950s refit" until her retirement in the late 1960s. Originally released for 1stGens way back in 2005 and subsequently "lost" in the ether. Prompted by one of the CA members into looking for it, I scrounged through all my archive CDs (dating back to 2004) and actually located it. This will give our Fleet Air Arm guys someplace new to land on!
     
    Some very small tweeks for SF2 (mostly to the radar statments for TEWS -but as she 'retired' in 1969, that's a bit moot).
    As CVs are 'unvulnerable' in-game, her defensive armament is minimal (the same 2 guns that Hinch put on way back when), and mostly for show.
     
    Also included, just for fun, are 2 missions set on the Desert map, using my SF2 mod of Skippybing's Sea Vixen. One is a take off, the other is landing. End Users ™ can always change the aircraft and 'mission date' to fit whatever aircraft pleases you. They are edits of the stock SF2 carrier take off/landing missions, moved to a
    different map and using Royal Navy equipment.
     
    As always, READ the enclosed readme for fully detailed, easy-to-follow install instructions. Hinch's original readme is included, for historical reference purposes.
    With thanks to Hinch for creating this, so long ago!
     
    Enjoy!

  11. Carrier Deck Illumination


    Carrier Deck Illumination Beta 1.0


     

    Effects and .ini work: MiGbuster and Fubar512
    Placement: MiGbuster
    Technical Consultant: SidDogg


     
    This mod DOES NOT contain the carrier models. It requires that you have Sf2V and/or SF2NA, and preferably both, installed on your system. The SCB-125 and CVA-63 models are native to SF2V. They are also included in SF2NA, which adds the CVN-68. We have included files for all three types.
     
    To install: Simply drag the contents of the zip file, which are the two folders, "effects and groundobject", into the mod (saved games) folder of the desired title. For example, using SF2NA, the default path would be "YOUR NAME/Saved Games/Thirdwire/StrikeFighters2NorthAtlantic"
     
    Note that this is a Beta, a work in progress, and as such, it is not perfect. Deck illumination is on all the time. The Optical Landing System is not-functional. These are currently due to the limitations of the series.

    /------------------------------------------------------------------
    There are two data file variants name Alt1 and Alt2. Alt2 is set by default. 
    The "Alt1" variant of the data files uses the gun included in the original SF1 mod set up for SF2 file structure.
    The "Alt2" version is set to use an alternate gun made with data from sources avalible to me.
    The both Guns have been included.
    This file has been tested in SF2:NA.
    Note that as this model has all 8 100mm gun mounts. As such the operational dates for the class in the Data and Names files are set to run from their Commissioning dates to the time of the classes mid to late 1980's air defense refits. 
    If Anyone has more precice info on when these refits started and finished please let me know.

  18. Aircraft Carrier "Kuznetsov" ex Kremlin Class


    Aircraft Carrier "Kuznetsov" ex Kremlin Class
    *****************************************************
    This mod is made for SF2.
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    I. History
    Since the 50th the Soviet Navy tried to get aircraft carriers. But the political leadership denied all attempts to build such vessels. So the Admirality tried to get carriers through the back door. They declared such ships would be neccessary to hunt down american submarines. So the big ASW ships Moskva and Leningrad were built. But the design was terrible. Thatswhy the project 1143 was developed, better known as Kiev class.
    The Kiev class was to small to operate conventional fix wing jets. So the ships were equipped with VTOL planes, the Yak-38. But this plane was no match for american or west european carrierbased planes. Thatswhy the flightdeck of project 1143.4 was made longer. The ship was named Baku. It was built for the supersonic Yak-41. A plan-B was to use the MiG-29K in the air group of the Baku.
    The next step was to make the project 1143 ships bigger and longer. 1143.5 was launched in 1982. First named as Riga, then Breshnev, then Tblissi and in 1990 renamed into Kuznetsov.
    When the USSR broke into parts the Kuznetsov was transfered to the russian North Fleet.
    The sister ship 1143.6, Riga was renamed in 1990 into Varjag (Viking). It was not operational when it was was given to the Ukraine. The Ukraine had not had enough money to finish the ship. Thatswhy it was sold to China. China finished the ship, modified it and named it Liaonang.
     
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    II.
    CREDITS:
    This is a mod of the ship "Admiral Flota Sovetskogo Soyuza Kuznetsov", made by rokieborhgunder, which you can find here:
    https://combatace.com/files/file/17091-admiral-flota-sovetskogo-soyuza-kuznetsov/
     
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    III.
    INSTALLATION:
    -Unzip the folders into your SF2 mod folder

    -------------------------------------------------------------
    IV.
    Known Problems:
    The mod is not perfect. Eight gun turrets are not of the correct type. The gun barrels looking always in the wrong direction. The SA-9N missiles does not start from the silos, but from mid of the ship. The Ship to Ship missiles also start from mid of the ship.

    ----------------------------------------------------------
    V.
    For remarks, comments, bugs, etc please use the forum or send me a PM.
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    VI.
    The Kuznetsov and all other files are FREEWARE. COMMERCIAL USE IS NOT ALLOWED!

    = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Full-5 Reccomended/Preferred) =
     
    **** This is version 2.0, with fixed arrestor cables, and parking slots for the French ships. If you've downloaded the original, my apologies - You'll have to redownload, and when installing, just OVERWRITE the originals. ***
     
    *Note: There is a distinct probability that this mod will =NOT= work properly in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs.

    They are fully compliant with SF2NA, having been tested in that envoriment. Names lists, data ini tweeks add the SF2NA radar statments, and other small adjustments.
     
    2 seperate, nationalized versions for the French Navy are also included (good for Suez and Indo-China with the recently re-released FN F4U-7 Corsairs and Hellcats).
     
    PA La Fayette R96
    PA Bois Belleau R97
     
    All weapons (ok, the guns!) you should have already in you various mods folders, so they are NOT included.
    BE ADVISED: if using these ships in the KAW mod -the USN Version- (and historically, only one was in Korean waters; USS Bataan), it will cause issues in game-generated single missions. I've detailed these in the "Notes" section below.
     
    As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please -READ- them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too for futher explinations, clarifactions, illuminations and so forth.
     
    NOTE: Do NOT use this version for the KAW Mod!! A seperate versiion, modded by paulo, will be relased ASAP.
     
    Again, my apologies!

  24. HMAS Australia R-22 (SCB-125 "What If..."

    HMAS Australia R-22 (SCB-125 "What If..."
    = For SF2, Full-5 Merged Reccomended and/or SF2NA =
     
    *Note: Full-5 Merged reccomended, but can be used in any game with access to the SCB-125 Essex CVs at the April 2012 Patch Level*
     
    A complete 'modernization' of the RAN "What If..." aircraft carrier HMAS Australia, as first seen in/on the Darwin (Modern) terrain.
     
    The ship has been brought fully compliant with SF2NA standards (well, after all it IS just a small repaint and ini edit!). This will give the RAN players, with the DLC A-4G (or other pre-existing variants thereof), and any "What If..." RAN birds somewhere to roost.
     
    As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please read them!
    Any/All faults, mistakes, etc are mine & mine alone. I didn't write up a backstory, but you can make up your own!
     
    Be advised of some "oddities" when playing -- in other words, don't be surprised if you see USN aircraft on the deck! It's just how the game works, now, with carriers.
     
    Happy Landings!
