Lazarus1177 164 Posted July 4, 2012 View File F-7P Skybolt V1.0 PAF F-7P Skybolt Interceptor For SF2 For SF2,Full-5 merged or at Minimum SF2E and SF2V(Required for Cockpit and HUD) Overview: J-7MP After nearly two years use of the F-7M, Pakistani Air Force (PAF) returned the 20 F-7M aircraft to China in the late 1980s with recommendations for 24 upgrades, including replacing the original GEC-Marconi Type 226 Skyranger radar with the Italian FIAR Grifo-7 radar, and AIM-9 Sidewinder capability. The Italian radar weighs 55 kg, had a slot antenna planar array, and had a range greater than 50 km, while the British radar only weighs 42 kg, with a parabolic antenna, but only had range of 15 km. Both radars have a mean time between failure rate of 200 hours. J-7MP:is the design specially tailored to Pakistani requirements. J-7PG Alternative to J-7MG, similar to the J-7MG except with Italian FIAR Grifo-MG radar, which further increased the sector of scan to +/- 30 degrees from the +/- 20 degrees of Grifo-Mk-II on F-7P. The Grifo-MG radar has better ECCM, look-down and shoot-down capabilities than its predecessor Grifo-Mk-II, while the weight remained the same. The number of targets can be tracked simultaneously is increased from the original 4 of the Grifo-Mk-II to a total of 8 of the Grifo-MG. Pakistan and Bangladesh evaluated the aircraft, and evolved to F-7PG. The Mod: This mod represents the F-7P Skybolt in service with the PAF from the late Eighties.This version of the aircraft is not to be confused with the newer F-7PG with it's Double Delta Cranked wing profile.The base model used is the stock TW Mig-21 F-13 as it is exactly like the F-7P.All the texturing was done using Gimp2.6.The Skins were made by modifying the stock grey skin and include textures for: CCS Standard CCS Grey(Kill Markings) No.20 Squadron No.17 Squadron No.2 Squadron Lo-Viz The Weapons loadout is completely revamped to include western munitions.The Aircraft still however,uses the stock fuel tanks.This F-7P is strictly made to be used for Air Defence.But,Ground munitions are still included for pilots who like to bomb. Installation: After Unzipping F-7P V1.0,place all the contents of folder inside your objects folder located in your SF2 mod folder.When asked to overwrite,click yes. Note:If you do not know anything about the mod folder,the immediately stop the installation,go to the COmbatACE Forums,Go to the Strike Fighters 2 Knowledge Base and take a look at the thread explaining the Strike Fighters 2 mod folder mechanism. If you are modifying my textures for your own mod,then you have my permission as long as I(Lazarus1177) am acknowledged as the original Author. IMPORTANT: I HEREBY CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF THE CHANGES THIS MOD MAY RENDER TO YOUR GAME(Even though it doesn't).IF THIS MOD IS INSTALLED,THEN IT IS DONE ONLY BY THE WILL OF THE USER AND I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS.INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK.(The mod is perfectly safe,but I still claim no responsibility just to be safe!) Credits: Aircraft Model:Third Wire Texturing:Me Pilot:Came from dtmdragons Falklands Harrier mod FM:Me I would also like to thank forum members EricJ and Gepard for their support regarding the Aircraft's Engine thrust. Hope you have as much fun flying it as I did Making it. Regards; Lazarus Submitter Lazarus1177 Submitted 07/04/2012 Category J/F-7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrench 9,902 Posted July 4, 2012 don't they have 4 wing pylons??? (like the one in the Indo-Pak mod?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ghostrider883 526 Posted July 5, 2012 don't they have 4 wing pylons??? (like the one in the Indo-Pak mod?) They are supposed to. In the absence of a dedicated F-7 model, the ones in the Indo-Pak mod are as accurate as they can be. I don't see any point modding the same thing again and again.

Lazarus1177 164 Posted July 5, 2012 I made this mod as I was not satisfied with the ones in the Indo-Pak mod.About the wing pylons,I really can't do anything.Anyway,enjoy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+HomeFries 29 Posted July 5, 2012 I made this mod as I was not satisfied with the ones in the Indo-Pak mod.About the wing pylons,I really can't do anything.Anyway,enjoy it. Sure you can! It's as simple as adding the two weapons stations to the aircraft_data.ini file and adding the pylon via fakepilot (also to the aircraft_data.ini). If the existing pylons don't work for the MiG-21 model, I can't help you there, but adding a pylon object as well as the ability to add weapons is quite feasible.

Thanks for the Tip.But,I haven't used Fake pilot ever and I just don't have the time to improve this mod as I have already begun work on another project!!

+Muesli 2,171 Posted July 6, 2012 Dudes, sorry.... Lazarus1177, sorry...... But I cannot help but feel like going back to the 'good ole' SFP1 days. My feeling is that this is more SF1 generation and quality stuff, and a repeat of what has already been done. I applaud the effort to start modding, but it really has to improve the game in order to give me that 'fizz' that James May is always talking about in Top Gear...
