SF2 DLC #28: F-104C (61) Starfighter Skins/Ini Pak, Part 1 3/15/2014

 

= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged, =WITH= DLC #28 (Full-5 Reccomended/Preferred) =

 

*DLC #28 is REQUIRED for this mod!!*

 

The pack contains some remods of Daves skins/decals that were originally seen on Anjundair's F-104C. Now that we have a better model (DLC #28), it behooved me to update it.

Please note, this pack is set up for the F-104C_61 variant from the DLC pak (WITH refueling probe). However, with a simple rename of the skin maps, it can be used on the standard or garden Variety F-104C included in DLC 28. It is NOT for use on the F-104C_66. That will be covered in another mod pak See "Notes" for more information on skin renaming.

 

This pack contains skins/decals for the following units:

 

479th TFW, George AFB:

434th TFS

435th TFS

436th TFS

476th TFS (all in stateside full-color markings)

and

476th TFS, as seen at Da Nang, RVN in 1964 (called 476_E, with tail TAC Badge)

 

All aircraft are in 'Natural Metal' finish

All markings are decals, and decal Randomization is TRUE.

 

The inis included are:

Data.ini (operable canopy, Standard Keystroke, Shift/0)

Loadout ini

main ini

Hangar screen (an SF2 revamped version of the 1stGen's F-104G)

Loadout image (bmp)

Avionics. ini (with non-historic audio-only RWR)

Cockpit.ini, (with working secondary ADI and oil quantity gauges, ala F-104G)

Please note, the cockpit itself is =NOT= included -- you'll have to find the F-104G's pit on your own.

When in game, just to be sure, you'll see "F-104C Starfighter (61) (3W)". This will differentiate it from the 1stGen mods (see below, as an added safety precaution)

When installing, just allow the overwrite of the inis. I've fiddled with the skin listing order, to make them more user friendly. Also included is my (patent pending) 'One Click Restore Main Ini' for when the game engine ™ rewirtes it.

Also, if you have ANY of the original Ajundair F-104Cs ported over to SF2, you are ADIVSED to rename ALL the folders (aircraft and decals), back them up or remove them from your mods folder BEFORE installing this package. There is a distinct possibility that this mod may merge with them, and really and truely foul things up!

 

*REMINDER!!! You =MUST= have DLC #28 to access the aircraft's LOD.*

 

As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please -READ- them!!

 

Happy Hunting!

Hello,

 

It is possible to hide the front canopy strut (black items in front of the gunsight system) of the external

model when we are into the "104" cockpit.

 

Add these lines in the data.ini of the F-104C:

 

[AircraftData]
DestroyedModel=F-104_Destroyed.LOD
DestroyedEffect=VehicleFireEffect
...

...

...

...
CGPosition=0.00,1.00,0.00
Component[001]=Fuselage
Component[002]=Nose
Component[003]=LeftWing
Component[004]=RightWing
Component[005]=VertTail
Component[006]=Tailplane
Component[007]=HideBit1
 

[HideBit1]  
ParentComponentName=Fuselage
ModelNodeName=canopy_front_top
ShowFromCockpit=FALSE

 

Best regards,

 

Coupi.

Good Catch!

 

They're showing up (and I didn't notice!!), because I moved the pit aft to get the AFR probe in the correct position, as viewed from inside the cockpit.

Hello Kevin,

 

Yesterday I saw that because I wanted to add  - with the fakepilot method -  the red and white 'pitot' probe using the former F-104A mod! 

 

But the two models are too much different...
