Soko G-4 Super Galeb by ID(io)Ts TEAM

 

Soko G-4 Super Galeb is single-engined basic/advanced flying and armament trainer with light attack capability,powered by one DMB (Rolls-Royce/Bristol Siddeley) Viper Mk 632-46 turbojet .

The aircraft was meant to be the advanced trainer for the former Yugoslav Air Force , substituing the elder Soko G2 "Galeb"in early 80's.The aircraft is usually compared with other planes of the

same type like Bae Hawk,Alpha Jet , although it is smaller and lighter .

It has never exceed the speed of 921 km/h at 11,000 m and maximum level speed "clean" 920 km/h at 6,000 m .Despites the nickname"Super Galeb", the aircraft is completely different from the elder Soko G2.

The good aerodynamic qualities are obvious in many airshows proving a very friendly and easy control of the airframe, between -4.00 and +8.00 G ,besides the semplicity and the durability.

The main armament of the aircraft is composed by rockets, bombs, cluster bombs, droptanks and the specific gun pod using Gsh-23 cannon.Some references talk about a special recon pod mounted, which permits at

the aircraft to be used in recon missions.

The G-4 saw many combat missions at the beginning of the Yugoslav wars, used like light-attacker. In total there were three Super Galebs shot down with pilots safely ejected.

During the Kosovo War the G-4 was used in few combat missions attacking the KLA positions in Kosovo at treetop level without loss, proving the high qualities of resistance to light SAMs and ground fire.

However, seven G-4 aircraft from the Lete?e Zvezde display team were destroyed in an underground tunnel at Golubovci Airbase, afer lasr guided bombing.

 

In the early 1990s the G-4 was a contender in the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System program in the U.S and was highly praised by American test pilots who flew it.

It lost the bid to the Raytheon/Pilatus entry, which became the T-6 Texan II.the only export order made for the aircraft was for six planes by Myanmar

VERSION 1.1

due to inconvenient issues about shadows, we revised the max source file and deleted the .shd file from the game.

 

Credits:

 

3D Source Designer = Luka Midic - fs98luka@yahoo.com

Model modification to TW standards = aleks, Nghengo and Spillone104

Mapping and textures = aleks

INI files, sounds and testing = Spillone104

 

 

Thirdwire = for the cockpit of A-4 Skyhawk (not included)

Aleducat = for the splendid Martin-Baker MK10 seat

 

special thanks to: = Gunnar88 and to the Serbian Cace community that patiently expected so long from us to fix this wonderful birdie :)

 

this add-on is a freeware and we are glad to present a new airplane for those who seek or make scenarios for Thirdwire Sims.....we hope you'll like it!

AWESOME mod! Hopefully we will see the MD versions soon enough both here and in real life.  Any chance for a J-22 Orao sometimes?

The Download seems to missing Lod Files?

Soko_G4.lod and  Soko_G4_001.LOD

without it there is No actual Airplane in the game.

Is any place where we can download (two missing Lod files)?

Are you sure? In fact, the Download is a complete plane (excluding the Сockpit) and includes both LODs you named.

If the Plane is not in the game, it means that you do not have a Cockpit of A-4 Skyhawk  (since Super Galeb doesn't have its own specially made cockpit,a stock cockpit by TW is used). But you can use any other cockpit. Like here, for example:
