SF2 Chengdu J-7 Fishbed Series Pak by Mod Mafia/TMF (v.2)        11/12/2023

 

= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Full-5 Reccomended/Preferred) =

An upgrade pack for the 3 J-7 Fishbeds built by The Mod Mafia/Mirage Factory. This is the full set as issued in 2012. This is EVERYTHING, all the aircraft, weapons, pilots etc. These aircraft have had their FM revised to something more SF2-ish, with all hit boxes and collision points also revised. It is designed to REPLACE, in total, all previous versions. Yes, you may just drop these over your originals. Backup copies of the data inis are all supplied as a "just in case CYA".
===

Some of several "newer models" that were never quite completed when Bpao passed away a few year back. I've been fortunate enough to be allowed to complete his work, as a member of the Mod Mafia.

This pack contains 3 of the J-7 Fishbed series, as built and operated by the PLAAF (People's Repbulic of China), and exported to some other folks. They are:

Chengdu J-7I
Chengdu J-7II
Chengdu J-7IIA

The J-7I and II have only PLAAF skins. The J-7IIA (exported as F-7B) has skins for

PLAAF
Iraqi Air Force (folder called "Camo2")
Islamic Republic of Iran AF (folder called "Camo1")
 
All skins are in jpg format, Decal Randomization is TRUE.  Damage textures are the older tga versions.
All markings are decals,(excepting National Markings, which on some skins are painted on), and reference stock 3W items. The PLAAF Bort numbers may be incorrect; skinner/decal makers are !ENCOURAGED!! to create more correct ones.
A user list is included for all, even for the I & II, which were NOT exported

All sounds, pilot figure(s), seats, are included. Weapons, for the most part, reference those already "stock" in-game items. However, in the usual "CYA" effort, Chinese A-A missiles are included. These come from the GunnyPak.
 
The Canopy opens with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0. The RWR.lst for the J-7IIA references many items from dtmdragon's Updated Threat Library; the url/download link I cannot find! So, I've just went ahead and included all the various RWR tgas that I had (in the /Flight folder included in this zip)

When 'in game', you'll see on the Aircraft Selection Dropdown Menu, for each one...

Chengdu J-7I (TMF)
Chengdu J-7II (TMF)
Chengdu J-7IIA (TMF)

This will differentiate all these aircraft from any others you may have, either stock, user-made, imported from China, or whathaveyou.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please -READ- them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too for futher explainations, clarifactions, illuminations and so forth.
A full listing of credits, as always, is below the Install Instructions.
 
Good Hunting!

This is a real needed plane! Thank You.

 

To make decal randomizer work in Chengdu_J-7IIA/IRIAF/Camo1 , please do this:

 

[TextureSet]

Name=IRIAF

Nation=IRAN

Squadron=

Specular=0.250000

Glossiness=0.100000

Reflection=0.000000

DecalNumberRandomize=TRUE

DecalNumberBlockSize=23 <----------------

DecalNumberStart=0 <---------------- add these lines

DecalNumberEnd=22 <----------------

 

 

And maybe I'll try to add a proper PLAAF decalset numbers ......

Nice one, Wrench! Mod Mafia seems to do alot of good stuff!

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557]

Those are realy nice birds, but you have no chance against modern western planes, have downed a F-15A but it cost me 3 Wingmen. Those planes are made as decoys for western missiles to clear the way for the J-11 fighters.

[+Brain32 265]

You have a chance but Intercept only, no sweeps or air superiority missions. Come in low, pop-up fire missiles, hug the deck and run...works pretty well.

I tried a CAP and REC Mission both is suicide .. but damn i like the MiG-21 design alot ..Seems here are some people which are interested in the J-7 family so I decided to release my J-7III mod too. Thanks to Wrench and TMF, they gave me a kick to finish it

sometime we all need a little prodding!

 

looking forwared to it Martin!

 

yeah, these things are just missile sponges don't really stand a chance on the Modern Battlefield ™. But fun to fly, nontheless. I too, am one of those Westerners like like the look of the Fishbed
