I love your passion for the Canberra Carlo - well done!

 

Interesting that the textureset.ini's in ArgiCamo1, 2 and 3 can actually be set to 1968, 1982 and 1983 default start dates respectively and that skin will then be selected as appropriate. I've just tested Carlo's B.62 in 1981, 1982 and 1983 and it used the 1968 skin, the 'Malvinas' skin and the post-war skin respectively - it saves a lot of time not having to alter your wingman/wingmen.

Soulfreak:

 

The loadout.ini specifies two different racks:

 

Canberra_Pylon

Canberra_2xRP_Pylon

 

Were those released in a previous mod? If so, which one?

 

Thanks,

      Rio de la Plata terrain version 1.3
      *****************************************************
      ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      This terrain is written for SF2NA and SF2E or SF2I.
      +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      I. Short description:
      This terrain covers the Bay of the river Rio de la Plata. South of this bay we find Argentina, north of it Urugay and Brazil. East of it is the Atlantic Ocean.
      The timeframe of the terrain is from 1980 to 2020.
      It is made as a NavalMap with carrier vs carrier operations in mind.
      The scenario is, that in 1982, the Royal Navy answered the argentinian invasion on the Falkland islands with sending a Naval Task Force toward Buenos Aires and landing troops on the shores of Argentina.
      Thatswhy you find a big british beachhead on the map.
      You can fly following missions for the British and their allies, the Brazilians:
      SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,RECON,CAS,Armed_Recon
      For the Argentinians you can fly this missions:
      SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,CAS,RECON
      New in vesion 1.2:
      - number of target area increased from 37 to 47
      - all target areas are now fitted with objects. Factories, warehouses, commbuilding etc.
      - Airbase Tandil moved 75 km westward. It is not yet at the correct position. I fear, that if the base is placed at the correct position, the AI would not use it, because it is to far in the west.
      - At the former position of Tandil Airbase i placed a temporary aifield.
      - I added the river Rio Paradana and the neigbour rivers.
      - I relocated Montevideo and the Montevideo Airport. The airport is completly new made.
      - I reworked all rivermouth tiles, enlarged them to 1024x1024 pixel size.
      New in version 1.3
      - number of targetareas increades to 82
      - a lot of new factory target areas for Argentina
      - included uruguayan airbases
      - included static Cessna for airfield "population
      - included some goodies

      ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
      II. INSTALLATION:
      To run this terrain you need SF2NorthAtlantic and SF2 Israel or SF2 Europe.

      Unzip all files into your saved game folder ...ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2XXXX

      Thats it.

      If you have SF2Europe installed you must do nothing more.
      If you miss SF2E and have SF2Israel you must open file
      Rio_de_la_Plata_Bay.ini
      with Notepad editor and look for the lines:
      //CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
      CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
      change the entry into:
      CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
      //CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat

      save the file
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      II.A: Goodies
      I have made a new mainscreen and included a new mainscreensound. Check it out and if you like it then copy the folder Menu to your SF2 mod installation
      If you own the TK's  DLC28 and SF2Israel, you can use the MirageIIIEA and MirageIIIEBR, which you also find in the goodies folder. Simply copy to your objects folder.

      View File Dassault/FMA Rafale EA-2/DA
      BACKSTORY: 
      In 2014, with the Mirage retirement in mind, Argentina started a competition to decide wich plane was going to replace it in the near future. Due to the strategic position of the country and the abundance of resources, the contest ended up having various options: the F/A-18E/F, the Tejas MK1 and MK2, the Gripen, the Su-30, the MiG-35, the J-10CE and the Rafale, all with unique variants to fill the needs of the Argentinian Air Force.
      The chosen plane was the Rafale. The Argentinian Ministry of Defence agreed on 18 planes, 12 Rafale EA-2s and 4 Rafale DAs. The Rafale EA-2 is an advanced variant of the Rafale F4, equipped with AESA radar and Conformal Fuel Tanks. It can fire the MBDA MICA missiles, along with some russian ordenance. This is because Dassault, Argentina and Russia agreed to replace the british parts with russian parts in the exchange of Argentina buying and equipping the Rafale with russian precise guided munitions.
      The Argentinian Rafale participated in various exercises with NATO and eastern side countries, like the "ECOAS I", where the Argentinian pilots showed its great ability to fly low, "sinking" the USS George Bush.
      Special thanks to JAT81500, for releasing the Dassault Rafale F4,  wich is used as the Dassault Rafale EA-2
      And ThirdWire, for this amazing sim, that I love and play almost everyday...

      I hope you enjoy this mod as much as I do.
      Have a good flight!
      Good hunting!

      View File Lockheed/FMA IA-16 "Serpiente"
      Lockheed/FMA IA-16 Serpiente:
      BACKSTORY:
      The year is 1998. Argentina starts showing its newly acquired A-4AR Fightinghawk, modernized to replace the old A-4Bs. While this was happening, it was clear that the Mirages had to be retired anywhere in a near future. So, the Fabrica Militar de Aviones, also called FMA, joins Lockheed Martin to develop a multirole, supersonic fighter, to fill the space that the Mirage will no longer cover. The result of this alliance is the IA-16 Serpiente, a multirole, supersonic and highly capable aircraft, developed from the F-16. The Serpiente is very similar to the Japanese F-2, but they have some differences that make them unique: while the F-2 has a boom receptor for air refueling, the Serpiente has a fuel probe, being capable of refueling from the KC-130 owned by the FAA. The avionics and a lot of parts from the plane itself are made in Argentina, and after 2008, the plane could be made in Argentinian soil without importing a single manufactured piece. The first plane flew in 2002, and was introduced in the FAA in the year 2005. The plane is equipped with Python 5 and AMRAAM missiles. It also can be equipped with AIM-9Xs and, due to the open architecture, it can be equipped with MICA and Meteor missiles. In 2007, Argentina recieved a first batch of 24 Serpientes, with 12 going to the 5th Fighter Group and the other 12 to the 6th Fighter Group, and in 2015, with the retirement of the Mirages and Neshers, another 24 IA-16 Serpiente Block 2 were ordered, plus the modernization of the existing ones to the Block 1+ standard, matching the avionics of the upcoming versions. The nacionalization of the whole assembly proccess of the plane has opened the opportunity for exports, being offered to small countries, like Uruguay, Paraguay and El Salvador. These 3 countries allegedly planned to buy 12 units of the Serpiente each one, but pressure from the US (even though the Serpiente is a US derived product) made them decline the offer. The Serpiente has seen service in the FAA for 15 years now, and is expected to surpass 2040. The future of this plane looks bright, with several modifications planned for the next year, like a radar-absorbing painting, to have semi-stealth capabilities (coming probably next update).
      Special thanks to: 
      Dels, the creator of the F-2.
      EricJ, who uploaded the F/A-18A and its HUD, which I used for this mod.
      SandMartin, who helped me to remake the cabin.
      ValAstur, who inspired me to make this mod, and for the Nachash, the starting point of this.
      Eagle114th, for the screenshots, which he took while I was isolated, and for taking the time to test  everything (he tested absolutely EVERYTHING and helped me correct it)
      ThirdWire, for this awesome sim.
      CONTENTS:
      Lockheed/FMA IA-16 Serpiente and its decals.
      Rafael Python 5 and Hughes AIM-120-AR, the missiles of this plane.
      Fuel tanks.
      Pilot and refuel probe.
      NOTES: 
      The cabin is bugged, and we couldn't fix it. We corrected the position of the seat, but some things dissapeared, as far as I know, the LOD of the cabin is bugged.
