WARNING!

 

This is totaly new file. I highly recomend to backup your old files. OR just delete all old files. Even weapon folders. It is updated here.
This is totaly new files and will not work in many parts with old.

 

This model is based on previous J model with little modifications. Representing J International model exported to Iran. And J TOW International Cobra - modified J Cobra TOW capable aircraft. Only user of this model was also Iran and South Korea which used 8 aircrafts between 1978-2004.

 

Pack includes 3 aircrafts as I made it specific for Iran and South Korea.
Cockpits included.

 

This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.

 

Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
With some differenced compared to G model.

 

AIRBRAKES - jump from pilot station to gunner station.

 

ARRESTING HOOK - deploy arresting hook to land on aircraft carrier.

 

LANDING GEAR - belly light deploy/retract at any speed. Don't forget to fold before shooting.

 

A2A mode - gunner station guncross for turret.

 

A2Ground mode - pilot M60 gunsight cross.

 

ANIMATION 7 - turret doors

 

ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors

 

ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)

 

ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)

 

For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.

 

When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.

 

There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.

 

All serial numbers are historicaly correct for each country.

 

Nations.
I've set nation name for Iran. In my instal Iran - Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force. Same with J Tow model and plus SKorea- which is Republic of Korea Air Force.
You might want to add new nation as It should be - Islamic Republic of Iran Army Aviation
And Republic of Korea Army Aviation - ROKAA not ROKAF.

 

But as always you can mod it your way.

 

Skins:
I've included skins for Iranian Army Aviation for both J and J TOW model representing early Imperial Iranian Army Aviation and post revolutionary Islamic Republic of Iran Army Aviation.
Also South Korean Army Aviation is represented by early and late type of painting.
During Iran-Iraq war Iranian army did some test with launching AGM-65 missiles. But reports says airframe sufers structural damage.
Here I made possible to load Mavericks for Iranian AH-1J.

 

Pilots:
I am using usnpilots by OldDiego. Not included.
Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.

 

Instalation:

 

Copy all files into specific folders.

 

Sounds:
For M197gatling sound copy the lines from SOUNDLIST ADDON to your soundlist ini file.

 

Enjoy.
Edit your way.
Hope everything is working fine.
Report bugs.

Great stuff!

Is the J-TOW the same as the USMC's AH-1T?
