Starfighters - Luftforsvaret

---

Royal Norwegian Air Force Starfighters. 

This mod is not to compete with any previous packs. It is just my different approach. So before removing/overwriting any of the older stuff, test this one - as you may not like it. 

Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) 

Install:
Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination.

A fake pilot is required to run this mod. Also, the Thirdwire F-104 cockpit is required from the original game. 

Fuel tanks- Tanks are just ini files. The mod uses tanks that are part of an aircraft lod.

If someone is wondering why again, Starfighters. Because I can. And this is a new model. So. Make it so...

In the game, under a prefix.LFV. * You will find  F-104G / CF-104  that served in the Norwegian Air Force.

* Luftforsvaret

All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed.  

Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in the Norwegian Air Force, for a specific year, squadron, etc.

Historically, the first Norwegian starfighters were RF-104 versions, but without cameras, and during first IRAN modified to F-104G type. Those airframes were only in a castrated RF configuration for a few months. Additionally, in 1965, three airframes arrived in Norway, but those three were built by Canadair. They were also in F-104G configuration and had all the remarks of F-104G, not CF-104. Also, those three were painted light grey. Not silver aluminium like previous birds. In this mod, I did not follow the history of delivery so strictly, and all those 19 starfighters are F-104G with one silver paint.
The first CF-104 arrived in Norway in 1973. All were formed in one 334 squadron. And carried a little different mission profile than the older F-104G. I could write a little more about history, but probably most of you will never read this or do not care about what I have written here. (which is already proven after my recent uploads) So I will pass...

Credits.
The original model - Bobrock, Soulfreak, and my messing around model
Yours truly  -  mambo jumbo like skins, decals, some effects, research...

I have no idea who made the pilot model; it is an old model used almost everywhere. I just repainted the skin.

light effects - guuruu

All weapons by Ravenclaw, you should have them by now, but I have included what is listed in loadout.ini.

 

TDU-11 - do not take it seriously, it is made as ASM - you can fire it and chase, and try to pick it with sidewinder.

Travel pod- absolutely do not take it seriously - you are not going anywhere...

There is a weapon station in the data ini calling for a training bomb rack made in the Netherlands (looking for some photos, infos and manuals). But since we do not have it...I just made a weaponstation entry in case we will have it. 

Also, CF-104 could carry 4 LAU-3/LAU-5003 on TSC racks, but since we do not have such a weapon model, maybe you can convince Ravenclaw to make one.  (We only have nice LAU-51 on TSC...so use them instead if you need to have 4 launchers)

Sorry for the trouble. I had to split it into two RAR parts. It is not so big...but for me, this is the way today.
