SF2 Avionics Community Pack (SF2: ACP) - Alpha v0.2
By Eagle114th
----------------------------------------------------------
STRIKE FIGHTER 2: AVIONICS COMMUNITY PACK (SF2: ACP) v0.2
---------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to SF2: ACP first release of alpha. Before I explain about the pack, I want to express big thank to the wonderful communities and modders of Combatace and Combat Flight Sim Tavern (Discord), including Thirdwire for the simulation.
You all are the reasons why this pack exists. I want to use the passions to improve SF2 into higher levle with avionics.
This requires a lot of research, reading flight manual, and tons of tweaking in avioincs and cockpit ini, along with countless of testing in-flight in SF2.
The mods is not perfect, we do our best with the mods. We do it with the joys of our hobbies!
This pack includes the following features:
- New gunsight / optical sight
- New texture for radar scope and another avionic equipment (See note #1)
- Improved cockpit and radar through cockpit and avionics ini tweaks for semi-realism (See note #2)
- Templates for gunsight and radar scope
- Improves glass texture (If possible)
- Accessibility - Optional, includes the AAM firing cue on gunsight for people who can not hear the sounds of missile locking on targets.
NOTE #1: Due to the nature of lighting system inside cockpit in SF2 engine, I had to apply the darkness level on top of texture scope, in order, to prevent them from glowing. In templates, you will see "darkness" layer for this reason.
NOTE #2: As mentioned in note #1, due to little resources (Information / data) on 40s to 70s radar, at least half or most of tweaks are based on an educated guess. For exampe, AN/APG-33 radar that is used with E-1 FCS in F-89B and C, there are some data on it, but no data on elevator nor azimuth angle limitation. F-89D, in other hand, with E-6 FCS and AN/APG-40 radar, there are several data, which is applied in .ini files tweaks.
---------------------------------------------------------
TEMPLATES
There are templates for gunsight, radar, RWR, and another type of avionics assets. It is there so anyone can use it to create their own avionics for any aircraft.
---------------------------------------------------------
Avionics overhaul for Historical vs fictional aircraft
I am dong overhaul for both historical and 'what if' fictional aircraft.
For example, in this alpha version, there are avionics overhaul for F-8A to F-8K, along with France F_8s. It also includes 'what if' JASDF F-8EJ Crusader.
---------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
Inside each aircraft folder, there is folder "_AIRCRAFT COCKPIT FILES". Inside that folder, there are two folders "DEFAULT" and "ACCESSIBLITY". You can only use one of them. By default you should install the files from DEFAULT folder. However, if you are Deaf or Hard of Hearing that can not hear the growling sounds of IR missile, then ACCESSIBLITY is for you.
NOTE: Make sure you make the backup copies of aircraft folders, in case something goes wrong during the installation progress.
Inside DEFAULT or ACCESSIBLITY, for any aircraft you have in SF2, copy the aircraft folder and overwrite an existing folders and files.
---------------------------------------------------------
Changelog
v0.01 - First release of SF2: ACP
v0.02 - Includes avionics overhaul for A-1s, A-4s, F-8s, F-89s, and MiG-15s
---------------------------------------------------------
Current / Future plans
I am currently working on next series of cold war aircraft avionics overhaul. If you have any feedback or request for aircraft avionic overhaul, please post in CombatAce forum discussion:
https://combatace.com/forums/topic/99178-sf2-avionics-community-pack-wip-alpha-release-v01/

TMF F-14 radar...sort of
By bop1701
Update - sorry, forgot to mention you also have to go into the Cockpit INI and change the [RadarScope] NodeName from =radar_screen to =vdi; see pic.
-----
Third Wire's F-14 was nice but didn't have a dedicated RWR display. The Mirage Factory's F-14 was fantastic, but the radar doesn't work anymore. Both are needed, and a fleet defender that's sans-radar is pretty useless.
I edited the INI for TMF's F-14 (see first pic) and spliced in the avionics from TW's F-14_82. So now TMF's awesome cockpit has a working radar, sort of....
Problem: TW's radar image is too large for TMF's radar display screen, so the edges are cut off. I'm guessing you can only see about half to two-thirds of the radar image. See pics for comparison. Besides not seeing the full radar display, important target data along the edges are cut off also.
Does anyone know how to scale down the TW radar image to get it to properly fit in the TMF cockpit display? I haven't had any luck
Thanks

Better CCIP mod v1.1
By orsin
Better CCIP mod for SF1/2 series.
This mod will prevent the CCIP and Gunsight dot from showing through any solid part of your cockpit. Leading to a much authentic bombing procedure.
In SF1, this is done without any harm.
In SF2, I have to remove 2 effect shaders which are used when your effect setting is at "Unlimited". So you lose some not-so-obvious effect.
Installation
------------
For SF1, just extract the file to the 'objects' folder
For SF2, first extract the file in the 'objects' folder in your mod folder, then follow the procedure mentioned in the "Special note for SF2 users" to complete it.

0.9 OPEN BETA FOR F-111 CCIP BY JOSEFK
By JosefK
Here is a wad of avionics.ini mods for the SF2 F-111s by @FastCargo. Now granted I recommend @viper63a's F-111 add-ons to graft on top of 'em you can get here: https://combatace.com/files/category/630-f-111/
Basically what I've done is add a CCIP or Continuously Calculated Impact Point to the HUD. The intent is to give you the chance to be a lot more accurate droping Mk 80-series dumb bombs in the F-111. Especially since there is no feedback when bombing from the Weapons System Operator/WSO in SF2.
Now I realize this isn't realistic for the days of the F-111 when there was absolutely NO helmet-mounted display that could project on top of a cockpit like now in 2020 with the Lightning IIs, Flankers, Fulcrums and arguably other front-line jets like the Super Hornet & Typhoon. Frankly from the research I've done most of the F-111 variants with the exception of the D likely never got a CCIP. The fact later models got a PAVE TACK to drop laser-guided bombs was a factor and of course, the F-111 had the Lead Computing Optical Sight that one can't program in SF2. So this copy-paste job of mine could very well be the next best thing with at least a realistic icon big enough to have some decent risk of circular error.
Maybe there is better, hence this being an open beta. I would also like to incorporate terrain following into a bigger avionics upgrade... ;-).

Mirage III & Nesher Gun Sight Fix.
By dtmdragon
Mirage III and Nesher Gun Sight Fix.
This mod corrects the Stock Third Wire Gun Sights for the Mirage IIICJ Shahak, Mirage IIICJ Shahak (71), Nesher and as a bonus the DLC 17 RAAF Mirage fighters.
I recently read the Osprey book Israeli 'Mirage and Nesher Aces' and 'Mirage III vs Mig-21 Six Day War 1967.' Both books are full of gun camera images of Israeli Mirage IIICJ and Nesher fighters killing MIGs.
From these I realised Third Wire has made an error on all the Mirage gun sights by aligning the (horizontally elongated) aircraft reference cross with the gun bore-sight and thus the gun piper. In the Nesher and Mirage IIIO that leaves the actual gun bore-sight cross sitting above the gun piper doing nothing.
This mod corrects the position and alignment of the aircraft reference cross, gun piper and gun bore-sight cross (Nesher and Mirage IIIO).
This correction should be applied to any other version of Mirage III, Mirage 5, Nesher or Dagger you have that uses a Third Wire Mirage cockpit and/ or Mirage gun sight.
CombatAce fair use agreement applies.
Cheers,
Dan.

SF2_F-4E_Austere_HUD
By Crusader
F-4E_75_AHUD (Austere HUD) mod
The real Austere HUD modification has been tested on F-4E 68-0304 during 1974-76.
The goal was to have a better sight display, primarily for air to air combat.
Further modifications were made to the radar for a quicker boresight lock-on and new dogfight
scan modes.
The Austere HUD modification remained a F-4E test and didnt went into production aircraft
or upgrades.
Ive re-created the Austere HUD, using the TW F-4E_75 (required for the mod to work).
Ive used the
Wraparound desert skin for stock F-4E
by amariani
http://combatace.com/files/file/12057-wraparound-desert-skin-for-stock-f-4e/
for a quick "make it fly" setup (we dont have a proper Edwards Test Unit white with red trimmings
skin)
The real Austere HUD was a test setup, so its no problem to add/remove readouts to the HUD modes
to ones personal liking.

By Crusader
Strike Fighters 2 Europe (SF2E) F-15A Eagle avionics enhancement v1c
Updates over the previous v1a version:

Strike Fighters 2 Europe (SF2E) F-15A Eagle avionics enhancement v1a
by :
Crusader ( avionics, ini tweaks )
#########################################
# For SF2E updated to version JULY 2011 #
#########################################
Note:
No TWS radar mode. That's no error, its just the way it was.
The enhancement adds several readouts or changes to them for a more
"realistic" look and functionality of the HUD and APG-63 radar.
Further changes are made to the data and cockpit ini for a new launch
sequence of AIM-7 missiles, launching in Right Fwq - Right Aft - Left fwd - Left Aft
sequence.
Another small tweak is the AIM-7 ejection angle, they are now ejected at a 45° downward
angle instead of straight down.
All edits/tweakes/enhancements are limited by current game limits, so there are a few
work arounds and trade-offs.
Installation :
Copyor move the 3 ini files and cockpit folder provided by this mod into the ..\ your mods folder\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\Objects\Aircraft\F-15A folder
Other files/mods included:
Gunsight texture by wpnssgt.
Thanks!

- Then add the files include din this mod, let overwrite if asked
Thats it, Thats all
Remember... its just a quick beta .. have fun
( some other things I noticed on ianH and crew SHAR 2 mod: shouldnt have a CL fuel tank, gunpods have some data error which prevents correct CCIP function in Guns A2G ... )

New Mirage V sights
By ignacioc91
With the Mirage V I have the same problem as with the Mirage III. This sights are based on the Mirage III's. Just drag them to your Mirage V cockpit folder inside the Mirage V main directory. I you don't have a "Cockpit" folder, create one. You can use it with any aircraft that has a Mirage V cockpit (Nesher or Dagger for instance).
Cheers!!

New Mirage III sights
By ignacioc91
Hi!!! As you may have noticed, the Mirage III sights are a bit too dull against bright skies, and there's not enough contrast against it for propper aiming. A couple Mig-21s got lucky because of this. With the help of Ivanbasic, I am uploading the modified TGAs. Just drag them to your Mirage III cockpit folder, inside the Mirage III main directory, in the mods folder. If you don't have a "Cockpit" folder, create one. You can use this sights in every aircraft that has a Mirage III cockpit (Shahak, for instance). Thanks to Ivanbasic!!! I hope you like it, feel free to modify it!! (if you kow how to improve it, do it and upload it ;) ) I hope you like it.
Regards,

Basic naval threat library for RWR displays
This mod supplies generic RWR symbols that modders may use to represent ships. Until now, all ship radars would show up as <U> ("unknown") on TEWS-equipped aircraft. With this you will be able to distinguish between general categories of vessels.
This symbology is not meant to be 100% realistic, and does not display individual radar names or ship class names. Once you install the mod, when flying applicable aircraft around radar-emitting ships, you will see the following symbols on your RWR display:
PT = Patrol boat
FF = Frigate
DD = Destroyer
CC = Cruiser
LS = Amphibious assault ship
CV = Aircraft carrier
BB = Battleship
Æ = Aegis-equipped vessel
Please see the readme file for complete installation instructions and more details. Enjoy!
***Note that this ONLY works for the SF2 series; the first gen games don't support this sort of mod.***
As a bonus, I included a tga file with the official US Navy hull number fonts. Perhaps any other modders making ships will find it useful.
