  1. AV-8A Harrier for SF2

    MDD/HSA AV-8A Harrier, USMC
     
    -- For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Prefered) and/or SF2:E ONLY!!! --
     
    As stated, above, you =MUST= have a Full-4 Merged install, or at the VERY LEAST SF2:E to make use of this mod package, as it references all stock items for the aircraft and cockpit that is ONLY found in SF2E or Full4 Merged game installs.
     
    This package represents AV-8A Harriers as used by the USMC when first delivered. The skins (located for me by CA Member Amariani -many thanks!!) have been run through my HomeGrown ™ template, for to reuse the tail markings, courtesy of 331KillerBee/SFP1Ace's WoE-to-SF2 AV-8A conversion pak (which this expands upon)
     
    Skins and decals in the pak are for:
     
    VMA-231 'Aces'
    VMA-513 'Flying Nightmares'
    VMA-542 'Tigers'
     
    New decals for the serial, service name and BuNums are incuded. Some decals are modified from stock ones. These make use of the full color National Insignia, and not the LoViz as seen after 1980-ish (or thereabouts).
     
    All weapons used are stock in-game items, excepting the 'new' units included. These are either clones of existing or, in the ALE-37s case, from the GunnyPak. The canopy is NOT activated, as there are no more animation slots available for it. Sorry! However, in compensation, there IS a working landing light!! <grin>
     
    As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install.
    As usual, the expected "Notes" section for notes and other insane ramblings
     
    Good Hunting!

  4. AV-8S Matador (Spanish Navy Harrier)

    MDD/HSA AV-8S (AV-1) Matador, Armada Española Arma Aérea
    -- For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Prefered) and/or SF2:E ONLY!!! --
     
    As stated, above, you =MUST= have a Full-4 Merged install, or at the VERY LEAST SF2:E to make use of this mod package, as it references all stock items for the aircraft and cockpit ONLY found in SF2E or Full4 Merged game installs. If you have neither of these, don't download this, as you'll not be able to use it.
     
    This package represents AV-8S (aka AV-1 locally) Matadors of the Spanish Naval Air Arm. A completely new skin, from a Home Grown ™ template was created, as was all but 3 original decals taken from the Matador pak from 2005. All new serial, name badges, and insignia markings were created (and, obviously included!) Some minor edits to the data, loadout and avionics give the aircraft a little more operational flexibility. All weapons used are stock in-game items. The canopy is NOT activated, as there are no more animation slot availalbe for it. Sorry! However, there is a working landing light, and a new SF2-style hangar screen (albeit a photo, as opposed to my usual 'boxart' type)
    As as extra added surprise bonus, a skin/decal pak for the Royal Thai Navy Harriers is included as well (all 8 of them!). New serials and individual markings were created; all others are stock 3W decals (insignia, finflash) from the game's objectcats.
     
    As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install. Also, as usual, the expected 'Notes and Other Nonesense' comments by me.
     
    Happy Landings!

  7. AV-8B Harrier II Plus - SF2. ver.2019

    AV-8B Harrier II Plus /  Radar
    This is my humble rework of old AV-8B.
    Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) A fake pilot is needed to run this mod. 
    It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
     
    Around 3 years ago - January 2016 -  KillerBee approach me with the possibility of updating bobrock's harrier,  and preparing  Night Attack version.  After some time, we had file ready for upload. Small changes here and there corrected a few things. And great skins by Killerbee.
    And then KillerBee disappeared from CA forum. Honestly, up to now, I have no contact with him. last - 4th May 2016. 
    So harrier stayed on drive waiting for his comeback. But .... I couldn't resist...And iI started to mod this again. Since I had no KB skin templates I had to do all new skins...and more.
    So now I am here...My standard AV-8B Harrier is already available for download same as Night Attack model. Both models recently updated,
    New cockpit and a whole set of new skins and decals on whole remodeled 'old' Harrier. - there is no single part of an original model that hasn't be touched/remodeled etc.
    First of all...If you want to count rivets...Do not. 
    Many things could be done other way....but I did it my way. So you have to bear with it.
    All skins are in 4096x4096 format. So you can easily resize down.  Generally, it is just a few skins.  If you have problems running this in game. Resize skins to lower resolutions
    Skins and decals are made to match most of the skins from Night Attack model pack. All VMA squadrons are equipped with a mix of both NA and radar model.
    Decals are based on my and KillerBee research. All serials are correct for the Night Attack version of Harrier II. Not always (but mostly) correct for a unit/year of service etc. But as always aircraft are rotating between units so its hard to track them down really.
    Big Thanks to Ravenclaw - He send me file with new ALQ-164 pod. Now it is part of the upload. 
    For some reason, I have added weapons that are present in Loadout.ini. 
    AIM-120 is specific for AV-8B via specific station code. To have proper year of apearance.
     
    Animations:
    1= canopy open - close
    4= refueling probe - beware of a speed limit
    3= night vision mode - not really helping but it is there - inside and outside animation.
    ************************************************************************************
    You can exlplore ini files for some additional features like in cockpit "FLIR" feed on HUD .
    AAQ-28 can be loaded only on station number 5 and centerline - in real - centerline come to use later and some units (VMAT) also moded wiring for use on other pylons. Nut in this mod only station 5 and 4 can carry AAQ-28.
    AIM-120 can be loaded only on stations 2 and 6.
    There are two stations for Intrepid Tiger II pod. In future.
    ECM also activates RWR on digital display indicator - even if ECM pod is not loaded.
    If you have my AV-8B Harrier already  - some files are same so simply overwrite. 
    for proper sound work you should add these lines into soundlist.ini
     
    SoundFileXXX=USMComm_1
    SoundFileXXX=Equalizer
    [Equalizer]
    Priority=NORMAL

    Thank you all CA users.

  11. AV-8A Harrier for SF2

    This is a ThirdWire WoE AV-8A Harrier converted for SF2. This package includes 331Killerbee's Enhanced Pack.
     
    INSTALLATION:
     
    Unpack the archive and drop the AV-8A folder to your MOD /Objects/Aircraft directory. You'll also have to extract original lod files from WoE ObjectData.cat using the CAT extractor. Following lods: AV-8A.LOD, AV-8A_LOD2.LOD,AV-8A_LOD3.LOD,AV-8A_LOD4.LOD & AV-8A_LOD5.LOD once extracted should go to the AV-8A folder. The AV-8A_cockpit.LOD needs placing in AV-8A/Cockpit folder.
     
    This is my first conversion so if messed something up, you let me know ;).
     
    Enjoy!

  12. AV-8B Harrier II - SF2. ver.2019

    AV-8B Harrier II. 
    This is my humble rework of AV-8B.
    Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) 
    It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
     
    Around 2 years ago - January 2016 -  KillerBee approach me with the possibility of updating bobrock's harrier.  After some time, we had prepared the updated file ready for upload. Small changes here and there corrected few things. And great skins by Killerbee.
    And then KillerBee disappeared from CA forum. Honestly, up to now, I have no contact with him. last - 4th May 2016. 
    So harrier stayed on drive waiting for his comeback. But .... I couldn't resist...And iI started to mod this again. Since I had no KB skin templates I had to do all new skins...and more.
    So now I am here...
    It ended with a new cockpit and a whole set of new skins and decals on whole remodeled 'old' Harrier. - there is no single part of an original model that hasn't be touched/remodeled etc.
    First of all...If you want to count rivets....Do not. 
    Many things could be done other way....but I did it my way. So you have to bear with it.
    All skins are in 4096x4096 format. So you can easily resize down. If you have problems running this in game. Resize skins to lower resolutions
    Decals are based on my and KillerBee research. All serials are correct for the first version of Harrier II. Not always (but mostly) correct for a unit/year of service etc.
    Big Thanks to Ravenclaw - He send me file with new ALQ-164 pod. Now it is part of the upload. 
    You will find separate upload soon with Operation Desert Storm skins and decals - Only units that participated in the operation.
    For some reason, I have added weapons that are present in Loadout.ini. 
    Animations:
    1= canopy open - close
    4= refueling probe - beware of a speed limit
