Lockheed U-2A for SF2

---

Lockheed U-2A

 

 

=For SF2 (any and all merge levels)

 

*Note: as I'm not fully sure if "Dragon Lady" applies to this early model, I didn't add the name*.

 

This is a slight overhaul of Pasko/Column5's Lockheed U-2A recon plane. This is a full aircraft pak, with a modified cockpit. All new serial number decals have been created, historcally accurate for the USAF version, and those discoverable for CIA usage (US civil N-series). Both the original skins (NM and 'dark gray') are included. A new SF2-style hangar screen is included, as is Pasko's "PilotU2" , dressed in the 1950s style pressure suit.

 

The flight model feels pretty good in SF2, considering it hasn't been tweeked since 2005, but the aircraft is NOT a fighter, so don't expect massive manuverabililty. Other ini tweek remove some unneeded cockpit bits, add an audio-only RWR (couldn't find any info if A-models had jammer suites), landing lights, and a working Driftsight (ie: downward looking periscope). A destroyed model has also been assigned, for SF2 users.

 

As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install. Also, as usual, the expected 'Notes and Other Nonesense' comments by me.

You should pay special attention to the "Flying the U-2" sections below, as it explains the use of the 'driftsight' and other things you'll need to know for correctly flying recon missions in this bird.

 

It is also highly likely this mod can be used in 1stGen SF/Wo* with minimal adjustments -- as 08 level game also use the /Decals subfolder, this should pose no issue whatsoever. Some data ini adjusment of the landing gear rolling radi may be necessary. Since I don't mod 1stGens anymore, this was not tested.

 

And yes, for those that look for such things, there are 2 Easter Eggs in the cockpit (actually, 3, but one seems to have disappeared!).

 

Happy Landings!

that's the fake radar causing that. they vanish when the driftsight is "open". I couldn't figure out how to remove them

 

Don't know if you all ever had that in Europe, but here in the US, that's the 50s/60s traditional TV test pattern.

In France, this is "La Mire de la TV"! I think...

guyz help!!! the u-2 cockpit doesnt show what should i do??

[Wrench 9,811]

it's a full aircraft package .... EVERYTHING was included.

 

I'd delete it from your install, and try again. Cause it works fine for everyone else, or there'd have been more complaints.
