+Monty CZ Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 View File Aero L-39 C/ZO/ZA Albatros add on pack Aero L-39C/ZA/ZO Albatros for Strike Fighters 2 series (Europe, Israel) Installation: Under Win7 or Vista unzip content into User\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2(...)\Objects Under WinXP is the destination in MyDocuments\ThirdWire... History (from wiki): The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer aircraft developed in Czechoslovakia to meet requirements for a "C-39" (C for cvi?ný – trainer) during the 1960s to replace the L-29 Delfín. It was the first of the second-generation jet trainers, and the first turbofan-powered trainer produced, and was later updated as the L-59 Super Albatros and as the L-139 (prototype L-39 with engine Garrett TFE731). The design is still produced in an evolved state as the L-159 ALCA, while more than 2,800 L-39s still serve with over 30 air forces around the world. The Albatros – the most widely used jet trainer in the world – is versatile, seeing duty in light-attack missions as well as in basic and advanced pilot training.

Capt_Haddock Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Simply amazing work! It has to be the best user-made aircraft for the SF2 series. And it's so refreshing to see a trainer, even more considering it's not your usual NATO hardware... Just one small thing: On the "C" version (L-39C) I can't hear the engine sounds. All works fine on versions ZA, ZO. Is it just me? Thanks a lot for this fantastic plane! Quote
cgold Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) I have a very updated and patched-up version of SFp1...so moving away from it is going to be tough. I have a few backwards-transfered aircraft for SF2 in SFp1 (the new F-14's, a B-1B)...I do the Unicode to ANSI 'conversion' for the files I need to...but all I get is a still (non-moving), invisible object...any ideas? I have visited the SF2 Knowledge Base on this and nothing seems out of the ordinary in what I'm doing... Edited December 8, 2010 by cgold Quote
+Monty CZ Posted December 9, 2010 Author Posted December 9, 2010 Nice to see you enjoy it! and thanx for 5 stars :-) the sound problem with L-39C is due EngineSoundName=AL-21F-1 instead of EngineSoundName=JetEngine in data.ini on other versions I believe AL-21F-1 is sound from EXP2 so without it you have to change it.

+Spillone104 Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) Congratulations for this nice little trainer!!! Really nice!!! BTW.... the sound you used is from here: http://combatace.com...iet-jet-sounds/ Alex Edited December 9, 2010 by Spillone104 Quote
Capt_Haddock Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Changed the .ini file and it all works fine now! Thanks guys for the suggestions :) Love the normal maps, btw. It's good to see those bumpy metal plates between the panel lines. Top job! Quote
+starfighter2 Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Great !!! What about L-139 "Albatros 2000" and L-159 variants? Any plans to make them too? Cheers :) Quote

+Kulbit80 Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) Only Monty could do that by changing (converting) 3d files to LODs old code for first gen and skins from DDS to BMP. And then some ini works. Edited December 10, 2010 by Kulbit80 Quote
ekek Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Only Monty could do that by changing (converting) 3d files to LODs old code for first gen and skins from DDS to BMP. And then some ini works. I converted the DDS to BMP (beautiful skins btw) and ANSI'ed the ini files. But I don't know how to do the LOD work. Can anyone help? Quote
+JAT81500 Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 A very great Addon congratulations and thank you very much Quote
+gerwin Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 I converted the DDS to BMP (beautiful skins btw) and ANSI'ed the ini files. But I don't know how to do the LOD work. Can anyone help? Impossible to use these LOD models with the 2008 SF1 series. But when you install WOI addon released in 2010 you should be able to to use these LOD's, as well as .DDS and Unicode ini files. (I found only the December 2010 SF2E Expansion pack 2 models, such as the Lightning, cannot be used with the WOI addon game) ...Why are the distance LOD's of the L-39 hardly any smaller then the main LOD?

tiopilotos Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Just a great work! A great trainer for SF2! Also liked the skins! many thanks! Quote
FrankD Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Great work MontyCz, the model is visually pleasant, the cockpit is functional and, last but not least as it's often overlooked in the mods, the documentation is exemplary! There's a very small typo in the "L-39ZO_USERLIST.INI" file though, as Libya is spelt "Lybia" in it. Quote
