Hellenic Air force F-16C and F-16D variants - Volume III (Blocks 70+ & 72)
This package is dedicated to the memory of Captain Konstantinos Iliakis, who fell defending the air-space of Hellas.
We are proud to present the Hellenic Air Force F-16C and F-16D variants - Volume III (Blocks 72 & 70), among the most advanced and enduring American military aircraft designs produced since 2022 and 2031 respectively. This Volume includes the HAF Block 70 F-16C and F-16D, and the HAF Block 72 F-16C and F-16D with unique external characteristics, cockpits and avionics. It has been our goal to provide to the simmer a highly detailed model and texture base which preserves the beautiful lines of these aircraft; and to engineer flight model files and a cockpit/instruments file-set that add to the immersion of the flying experience within the Strike Fighters 2 series.
All 3D models in this package, though based on the Viper Team models, have been massively re–worked, with most parts re-furbished or replaced with scratch built parts, and most components have been re-mapped to higher resolution “baked” texture files, increasing the fidelity of the excellent originals.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Copy the contents of the "To Mods Folder(s)" to your SF2 Mod directory.
Allow directory merging and overwrites, provided the over-writes pertain to "fake pilot" entries, as well as weapons made by ravenclaw_007, the latest of which are included in this release.
NOTE 1:
For those who may find loading times excessive, the .jpg files in the texture and cockpit folders can be reduced to 50% of their size without sacrificing too much surface detail.

FEATURES:
Disclaimer: The plane-weapon performance data, the operation of the aircraft's radar, systems and weapons as well as weapon loads are an artistic representation and are for SF2 game purposes only and don't represent the actual aircraft/weapons data and operating procedures.
* Highly detailed external 3d models, including all features specific to the F-16C&D Block 70/72 including antennas and pitot tubes, Dorsal Spine, CFTs and Arrestor-Hook.
* Specular color and Normal (bump) maps.
* Four Level of Detail models (LODs), providing an almost seamless transition from distance to distance; and perhaps more importantly, ensuring that the frame-rate "impact" of the aircraft is as low as possible.
* New 3D centre-line and under-wing 300, 370, and 600 Gallon Fuel Tanks.
* High resolution texture sets; thoroughly researched historic depictions of the Aircraft fielded by HAF Squadrons.
* Tail - Art decals for Hellenic Squadrons which fielded the F-16C&D Blocks 70 and 72.
* Extensively fine-tuned flight parameters in the aircraft data configuration files, emphasizing the F-16's agile and highly maneuverable characteristics - courtesy of Alfa2.
* Two New, super detailed, dedicated F-16C Block 70 and 72 cockpits based on late block Ravenclaw_007 cockpits with centre console radar, animated throttle control, rudder pedals, control stick, landing gear lever, and canopy. Cockpit shadows have also been enabled, and existing textures have been enhanced via “baked” textures.
* A full complement of highly (or should I say "insanely") detailed weapons; all by ravenclaw_007, including the new “Rampage” missile and the AGM-154C glide bomb.
* Comprehensive F-16C Loadouts by Alfa2.
* GKAB's superb highly detailed crew figure with authentically modeled oxygen mask and flight helmet.
