SF2_2019_RusNavy_SeaFlanker.7z 1.2.1

oops, i also added a edited weps.ini file. Even if u like it, u might want to comment out the intake missile entries. I'm not sure they used those low hanging missile positions on the jump ramp carriers. Also, I mention scaling down the skins to 1024 x 1024. I did not include a 2024 x 2024 jpg for the 'Tigers'  Am not sure you'd notice the difference.  Sorry.

I found the Su-33 was included in the 'StrikeFighters2 War for Taiwan' Campaign as seen on page 8 of user campaigns. Inside my upload here I reference The Modern Korean War Campaign as the source for the SU-33.

I downloaded the Taiwan Campaign moments ago and found this on a readme:

So that's the situation for now.

Here's a Thanksgiving Present (for those old enuf to remember such things)

I worked on the SU-33 Data file and got it to work better. I only tested it with a full weapon & fuel load doing basic moves/ not tried to dogfight it yet.  I assume it would turn better mostly empty.

It turns better and roll is more controllable.  The Su-33 ought to be the or one of the top large frame AirToAir combat aircraft (non-stealth) worldwide.  Easy to beat AIs in SF2.

One thing, The ailerons were set (in my file anyway) to move on the Z axis, which looked funny in camera mode. Set that to X axis and most is right again.

Oh, the "Su-27SM2" download (think I found it in one of the Campaigns previously mentioned) maneuvers excellently right out of the box. I tried some of its values in the SU33 datafile. I think I might make a SU33Data file using an entire Su-27SM2 datafile. Changing it's internal 'system names' and so forth. The canards in the SU33Data file could still be a part of problem and maybe the drag factor in the wings or fuselage are wrong. I will work on it til i can black you out with the su33 !!  As any real fighter plane should.

Bye

Hello Again,

I didn't mean some one named 'Again' only.  I meant all fans of the mighty Su-33.

I worked on the data file some more.

Download this version. B e sure to back up the old one...   Unzip and plop the new Su-33_Data.ini into your Su-33 folder.  It won't work if your primary '.ini' file doesnot have the data file remark pointing to Su-33_Data.ini . This is easy to remedy.

I have it working better than the old  one. Its a little easier to control and it turns pretty well. I personally think it should sustain a higher turn rate still. I think the problem lies in those cryptic values in for example a section describing a wing's aerodynamic qualities. Too much drag somewhere. If anyone has documentation on the 'XXX_data.ini' file, please let me know.
