Snake Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Hey Guys! What's a good plane for FAC on the Soviet side? I'm using Yak-9 now... Before that, I was having the Stuka (!) show up on my Soviet CAS missions Thanks! <S!> Quote
+whiteknight06604 Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I tend to use the Mig-15UTI 2 seater or the Mi-24 Hind. Quote
Snake Posted July 11, 2006 Author Posted July 11, 2006 Thanks WK! I'll try the UTI. Anybody else? Quote
+whiteknight06604 Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 I'm sure it's not a priority but I would love to see a post WW2 Soviet prop job made.Somthing like a yak trainer would be usefull for FAC.or maybe a Mi-1 or 2 helo would be cool too. Quote
+Wrench Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 There was a mod floating around a few years ago of the O-1 into a Yak-12 by someone-who-is-not-to-be-named. It would be easy to duplicate, using the O-1E has a base: (mind you, the real one's were radial engined) --NOTE: I have not personaly tested this mod, this is all off the top of my head--- d/l my mod of the L-19 Birdog, availabe at my site, or here at CA. This will give you an OD skin, and a mod of the P-39's cockpit to something you can fly and use. (yah, is says 'Cessna' on the dash...) ==ADVISORY: The flight model leaves something to be desired...== Create new folder, call it "Yak-12" Copy all the L-19 files into the new Yak folder rename the L-19.ini to "Yak-12.ini" rename L19_Cockpit.ini to "Yak12_COCKPIT.INI" rename L-19_data.ini to "Yak-12_data.ini" edit the ini as follows: [AircraftData] AircraftFullName=Yak-12 "Creek" AircraftDataFile=Yak-12_data.ini LoadoutFile= CockpitDataFile=Yak12_COCKPIT.INI HangarScreen= LoadoutImage=L19_Loadout.bmp AvionicsDLL=Avionics60.dll Throw out the loadout ini, as we dont have any rockets like the US Army or USAF used for marking on the Red Air side. Actually if you want it as an AI only aircraft, you don't even need to cockpit stuff. at the bottom, edit the texture info as follows: [TextureSet001] Directory=ODGreen Name=ODGreen Nation=Soviet Squadron= Specular=0.300000 Glossiness=0.000000 Reflection=0.000000 (note nation name change) go to the ODGreen skin folder and do this to the textureset.ini: [TextureSet] Name=ODGreen Nation=Soviet Squadron= Specular=0.300000 Glossiness=0.000000 Reflection=0.000000 Copy/paste this into a blank notepad, and save as 'Decals.ini' : [Decal001] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=SovietNum Position=-1.183,0.155 Rotation=0.0 Scale=0.50 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal002] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=SovietNum Position=-1.183,0.155 Rotation=0.0 Scale=0.50 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal003] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=Left FilenameFormat= Position=-0.21,0.155 Rotation=0.0 Scale=1.0 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal004] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=Left FilenameFormat= Position=0.75,0.155 Rotation=0.0 Scale=1.0 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal005] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=Right FilenameFormat= Position=-0.21,0.155 Rotation=0.0 Scale=1.0 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal006] MeshName=Fuselage DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=Right FilenameFormat= Position=0.75,0.155 Rotation=0.0 Scale=1.0 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal007] MeshName=Wing_L DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=-4.154,1.674 Rotation=0.0 Scale=1.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal008] MeshName=Wing_R DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=BOTTOM FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=4.154,1.674 Rotation=0.0 Scale=1.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal009] MeshName=Wing_L DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=BOTTOM FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=-4.154,1.674 Rotation=0.0 Scale=2 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal010] MeshName=Wing_R DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=4.154,1.674 Rotation=0.0 Scale=2 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal011] MeshName=VertTail DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=-2.9,1.25 Rotation=0.0 Scale=0.75 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal012] MeshName=VertTail DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=-2.9,1.25 Rotation=0.0 Scale=0.75 DecalMaxLOD=3 Place it in the ODGreen skin folder. If prompted to overwrite, say "YES". It should look something like this: That should hold everyone for a while. If there's any interest in it, I could easily put it together as a package for release. I'm sure I can find some kind of Soviet/WP rocket pod that'll work. For another FAC alternative, may I also suggest Pasko's AN-2 Colt??? Not like the FAC function works anyway....

+whiteknight06604 Posted July 18, 2006 Posted July 18, 2006 yeah I was thinking the An-2 would work,Also the Aero L-29 could do in a pinch. Quote
