Israeli Defense Force Add-on for A-6 Superpack

Recommended Posts

Israeli Defense Force Add-on for A-6 Superpack


THIS PACK REQUIRES THE A-6 SUPERPACK 1.51 OR LATER.

 

The IDF/AF A-6 Pack has been tested with Strike Fighters 2 Full 5+2 merged install. It should work with less than a full 5+2, but requires the following SF2 versions to take advantage of the respective components:

  • SF2V for the A-6A
  • SF2NA for the A-6E and A-6E_79
  • SF2I for the campaigns and serial numbers for the aircraft
     
    This pack is strictly a "What If" set of skins and campaigns that explores what might have happened had Israel purchased the A-6 Intruder from the United States. The pack includes skins for the A-6A, A-6E, and A-6E_79 (TRAM) in the standard IDF camouflage both with and without ID Triangles. It is unlikely that the IDF would have used ID Triangles on the A-6, given that it doesn't look like anything flown by Arab nations, but I included the skins for completeness.
     
    Additionally, the Six Days War, Yom Kippur War, and Lebanon 1982 campaigns also have A-6 variants, allowing you to fly the A-6 without unbalancing the campaign.
     
    Finally, the Optional Files folder includes the original SF2I campaigns. These campaigns are identical (as of the July 2012 patch) to the SF2I campaigns in the CAT file, but have the campaign base screen set to Ramat David airfield.
     
    1. Change Log
    1.0 Initial Release
     
    2. Installation
    1. Copy the files to your SF2 "Mod" folder.
    2. Copy the contents of the Optional Files folder to your SF2 "Mod" folder, if desired.
    3. Enjoy!

     

    3. Known Issues

    I did not include an updated A-6x_Userlist.INI file. This is by design, since this pack is "What if".

     

    4. Future Compatibility Issues

    In the event of a SF2 patch, you will want to examine the following files with the post-patch extracted files to see if there are any changes or potential incompatibilities:

    CAMPAIGNI1_DATA.INI

    CAMPAIGNI2_DATA.INI

    CAMPAIGNI3_DATA.INI

     

    In each case, the only difference in the files should be the following line:

    CampaignBaseScreen=RamatDavid.jpg

     

    If the original SF2I campaigns are updated, merely copy over the updated CAMPAIGNIx_DATA.INI and add the line "CampaignBaseScreen=RamatDavid.jpg" to the appropriate location.

     

     

    5. Credits

     

    Wrench's A-6E Templates were the basis for these skins.

     

    All other credits can be found in the A-6 Superpack.

     

     

    This Pack is released in accordance with the Combat Ace Freeware Licensing Agreement. Please feel free to use the contents of this pack with any other mod, so long as appropriate credit is provided.

     

     

    For support, please post in the File Announcement thread for this mod at Combat Ace.

      View File [Fictional] F-105D 'Shalakh' (Osprey) for SF2
      F-105D for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2
      This is a simple mod of the stock Third Wire F-105D Thunderchief to give a fictional F-105D 'Shalakh' (Osprey) of the Israeli Air Force with markings for;
      107 Squadron - 'The Knights of the Orange Tail' 
      119 Squadron - 'The Bat' 
      253 Squadron - 'The Negev' 
      This should work in any SF2 game featuring the stock Third Wire F-105D but has only been tested in a merged install of SF2/SF2V/SF2E/SF2I.

      BACKSTORY
      During the early 1960's Defence Secretary Robert S. McNamara and his team of whiz-kids were on a mission to streamline the US defence budget with 'commonality' being their main area of focus. With the F-4 Phantom now being procured for the USAF as well as for the USN and USMC and with the TFX (F-111) project promising further cost savings it appeared that the two aircraft had the home tactical fighter market covered. So it was no surprise when in October 1963 Republic Aviation were formally ordered to cease further development of the F-105 Thunderchief and to stop production after the current batch of F-105D's and F-105F's.
      In early 1964 the Heyl Ha'Avir (Israeli Air Force) were looking for a replacement for the Vautour tactical bomber and openly expressed a preference for the UK's Blackburn Buccaneer. With the end of the Thunderchief production line looming, and with no follow-on project in the immediate pipeline, Republic Aviation proposed a modified version of the Thunderchief F-105D to the Heyl Ha'Avir at a very attractive price and this was eagerly accepted. 
      With the last USAF F-105D's and F-105F's going through the door production continued with the main production batch of 100 F-105D-35RE aircraft (essentially similar to the F-105D-31-RE but with some Heyl Ha'Avir specified equipment) and powered by the Pratt & Whitney J75-P20W engine rated at 26,500lbs of thrust with reheat. Deliveries of the first F-105D-35-RE aircraft to Israel began in early 1967 and the type soon gained the local name of 'Shalakh' (Osprey). As a happy consequence, the USAF ordered more F-105D's and F-105F's as attrition replacements for Vietnam and this kept the Thunderchief production line open until December 1968. 

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-105Didf folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-105Didf folder into your Decals folder.
      That's it!

      CREDITS
      As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
      And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.
