Su-25 for SFP1 and WoX

---

#INSTALLATION

 

The setup for this mod is designed to use the Thirdwire first generation folder structure patched

to 10-08 standard, the latest one as per January 2010!

 

It doesn't contain the model of the plane itself, you need to get the fourth setup pack of NF4+ (link below) to get it. This package contains the INI reworks to make the model compatible with the first generation games along with the correct gun of the plane.

 

1) Unzip the "Su-25-firstgen" folder to a temporary place where it is easy to find.

 

2) Add the data from "GUNDATA.txt" to your GUNDATA.ini (numbering the entry with the first number availabe), open and save it with the gun editor. This step adds the Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-2 gun which was the gun gun carried by the series-produced aircraft.

 

3) Get the 4th pack of NF4+ at CombatAce: http://forum.combata...&showfile=10125 and extract at least the folder containing the Su-25.

 

4) Copy the plane folder (the one with the LOD's and the cockpit directory) to your “Aircraft” directory and then the INI's within the “Su-25-firstgen” into the Su-25 folder, allowing to overwrite when prompted - be careful: you must only overwrite the files, the INI's to be precise, within the Su-25 folder, not elsewhere!

 

5) In the case that you do not use the community weapons pack 2.52 (available at CombatAce.com, link below), you may have to add the data from "Weapons\Ordnance_Weapondata.txt" to your weapondata.ini and copy the needed folders in "Weapons" in your weapon directory. No overwriting of existing files is needed.

 

 

#ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

This is mainly a INI rework to convert the Su-25 for the 2nd generation games included in the NF4+ mod into a plane usable in the first generation.

 

The weapons provided are solely those needed for the given LOADOUT.INI as I assume that a large majority of users has some kind of weapon pack installed, giving enough weapons to modify the loadouts at will.

 

I've tested the plane on a Wing over Europe install patched to Oct.-08 level with the

community weapons pack 2.52 installed.

#DOCUMENTATION

 

1) The conversion of the plane was made by re-saving all INI files with ANSI coding, as this is the sole file coding understood by the first gen game engine.

 

2) Additionally, it makes use of the so-called “hiding components trick by bpao” (if you look at the Su-25_DATA.INI , you'll see how it works).

 

3) The loadout.ini is my creation.

 

 

#LICENSING INFORMATION

 

I think it is safe and the best to put my little INI work under the

-> CombatAce Freeware License (see link above) <-,

this rework / compilation is licensed as such, in short: freedom to distribute such licensed work

as long as it does NOT become part of payware or not publicly available.

 

I wasn't allowed to republish the model of the aircraft. USAFMTL said on request that “The person who made requested that it stay in the package only. “ but that I was clear to include the INI's, so I can't even name the contributor but nevertheless ask that he or she will accept my thanks!

- EDIT: after the upload, I learned that the model is more to be seen as in a "beta stage", AmokFloo ported it in game and 76.IAP-Blackbird is still working on it.

 

#CREDITS

 

- The Sukhoi 25 was/is done by AmokFloo and 76.IAP-Blackbird.

EDIT of File description 2010-02-07: clarified a part of the install explanation after I saw that the advice of overwriting lead at least one time to misunderstandings. Also updated the information about original author. Same changes in updated readmes within the archive.

That is Great!! This plane is much needed in WoE. Another Cold War warrior.

Maybe the person who made it will see this and will let you add the LOD's. In my defense I was only following the guidance I was given when it was added to the NF4+ mod. This was not an attempt to be greedy and the likes. The same thing goes for the F-117A in the DS mod.

I don't see why you have to defend yourself, Dave, I didn't want to offend you. It is really clear that a modder has every right to say that first he does not want his work to be widely republished and then that he prefer to stay anonymous.

 

The quote was intended as a simple statement why my mod is as it is. :-)

Hi Uhu

 

The only reason why it had to stay in a package or wasn`t released as a seperate model was, that it`s not been finished yet,

I`m working on the Su-25 and also on the UB model, at the moment I take a small brake from modeling, dealing some RL issues. It`s WIP and coming along slowly but steady.

The current bird is still in low detail and quality, compared to the bird wich will come before summer ends I hope

 

So from those reasons it was mentioned as AI only (target) But I don`t see a problem in your mod so all is fine. The GMG recieved this bird from an older MOD group wich disapeared. So they handed it over to us and Amokfloo worked on it until for NF4. I took a look on that bird and decided to improve it, but as I started to improving part per part, I nearly rebuild the bird from scratch.

 

Maybe you have seen some pics, if not just take a look if you want.

No offense taken. I was just covering my ass because some numb nut will think I am being some greedy tyrant or accuse me of something of the likes. Then they will get all upset and cry over on another forum about how I am being unfair or whatever. I have to do that because everything I say or do gets put under the microscope because I am just an ass to everyone. (So its been said by some former members of CA) So it was a disclaimer of CYA. Good work on the mod.

[+Soulfreak 6,524]

better leave it in NF4+ as ai only....

As Martin says, only a Beta.

EXCELLENT PLANE and nice cockpit! Good convert to first gen sims Uhu. It's interesting who made this wonder in original?

Thanks! :-)

 

Originally, the plane was obviously made by the Sukhoi Design Bureau (OKB-51) lead by Pavel Sukhoi and build at the Georgian Tbilisi plant...

 

By the posts above, I conclude that important work on the model was and is done by 76.IAP-Blackbird, so that the fame shall go to him, I think.

Danke für die Blumen, but Amokfloo is the one who brought it into game like you can see it in NF4 he converted it to an AI plane, I`m working on a "new" and further developed 3D model

 

All the Fame goes to Amokfloo
