STRIKE FIGHTER 2: AVIONICS COMMUNITY PACK (SF2: ACP) v0.3
Welcome to SF2: ACP first release of alpha. Before I explain about the pack, I want to express big thank to the wonderful communities and modders of Combatace and Combat Flight Sim Tavern (Discord), including Thirdwire for the simulation.
You all are the reasons why this pack exists. I want to use the passions to improve SF2 into higher levle with avionics.
This requires a lot of research, reading flight manual, and tons of tweaking in avioincs and cockpit ini, along with countless of testing in-flight in SF2.
The mods is not perfect, we do our best with the mods. We do it with the joys of our hobbies!
This pack includes the following features:
- New gunsight / optical sight
- New texture for radar scope and another avionic equipment (See note #1)
- Improved cockpit and radar through cockpit and avionics ini tweaks for semi-realism (See note #2)
- Templates for gunsight, radar, TV, and other avionics
- Improves glass texture (If possible)
- Accessibility - Optional, includes the AAM firing cue on gunsight for people who can not hear the sounds of missile locking on targets.
- Improved night lights inside cockpits
- Tweaks to the view angle around cockpit
NOTE #1: Due to the nature of lighting system inside cockpit in SF2 engine, I had to apply the darkness level on top of texture scope, in order, to prevent them from glowing. In templates, you will see "darkness" layer for this reason.
NOTE #2: As mentioned in note #1, due to little resources (Information / data) on early cold war era radar, at least half or most of tweaks are based on an educated guess. For exampe, AN/APG-33 radar that is used with E-1 FCS in F-89B and C, there are some data on it, but no data on elevator nor azimuth angle limitation.
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------- TEMPLATES ------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
There are templates for gunsight, radar, RWR, and another type of avionics assets. It is there so anyone can use it to create their own avionics for any aircraft. You will see the folder:
_AVIONIC TEMLPATES
Please note, the standard size created for radar and gunsights;
For Radar scope, it is 1024 x 1024.
For gunsight, it comes in two sizes:
512 x 512 (For MIL 80 to higher MIL)
256 x 256 (For MIL 70 to lower MIL)

Avionics overhaul for Historical vs fictional aircraft
I am dong overhaul for both historical and 'what if' fictional aircraft.
For example, in this alpha version, there are avionics overhaul for F-8A to F-8K, along with France F_8s. It also includes 'what if' JASDF F-8EJ Crusader.

------------------------ CREDITS ------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
I want to give big thanks to the people who have suported me, helped me with the project, shared the books, mods, information, and gave me the advice on various aircraft avionics, especially giving me the feedbck. I also want to thank to the modders for the excellent mods that makes SF2 the greater sims. I use the various mods as part of this projects too.
Thank you dtmdragon, Stary, Wrench, FANATIC MODDERS, KJakker, Crusader, Gunfighter6, Nightfall, Centurian (Outlaw), USNRaptor, and the rest of awesome fellow people of Combatace and Combat flight sim tavern!
I also want to credit the great works of the developer teams who develops Wing over Korea, The Mirage Factory for great quality cockpits and other files, and the great communities from Combatace and Combat flight sim tavern.
Finally, Thakn you Thirdwire (TK) for the Strike fighter 2 simulation.
To anyone who is missing from the credit part, please let me know ASAP. I will update the credit page.
Thank you for enjoying the mods!

Would some sort of gunsight on the earlier Nieuports be a good idea? I am not sure if the N11 cockpit in the picture is an upgraded N11 from later in the war.

Hi everyone,
I was wondering how to customize the numbers after your callsigns, since it always gives me the same ones.
I think i managed somehow once, a bit of time ago, but now i forgot and have no idea how to.
I'm not talking about how to customize the callsign name, but the unit number after it.
As you can see in the Roster and in the picture under, i get "Fast Eagle 1-1" and "Fast Eagle 1-2"
Here are some examples:
The numbers on the tail, wing and nose numbers are customized, cause i managed how to change them, choosing them individually for each unit in the mission file by changing "AircraftNumber=" and typing the number, like "2" (as for 202). It doesn't change by typing the whole number tho, like 202 by typing 202, but it goes by typing the number that corresponds to the list of numbers you have. For example, In a list that goes from 200 to 400, you will have to type 10 to get 300. Here i just typed "2" and "7" since the list starts from 200
IIRC, in the past i just used to type the Aircaft number just like that, and in-game i had the proper number after the callsign, like "Fast Eagle 102", not just the number displayed on the plane livery.
How do i do? I'm pretty sure that it's possible to have "Fast Eagle 102" on my screen HUD and in the Roster
Thanks in advance for helping me.

I'm doing a Pacific World War 2 install, and i kind of wanted to do it in the old school hard way (without HUDs). The instrument gauges are a bit problematic since some world war 2 cockpits have lower details in them so they are hard to spot but the even harder bit is actually locating the enemy aircraft since there are no search radars to compensate for the lack of HUDs.
I always call the tactical air control center and ask then the location of nearby bandits every few dozen nautical miles but they just always give me the all-clear (even at the mission waypoint) so I try to manually locate enemies but still just spend minutes circling round and round without action. (having read a few books, i know this is actually quite realistic, world war 2 wise but meh )
I'm just curious how do you guys do it? am i missing something? please share some bits to me as I am a Sukhoi Flanker dude who's having way too much fun flying P-40s and Zeroes.
