There is something you don't see everyday (USS Oriskany)

Recommended Posts

F3Hs, F-8s, and F-4s operating off the same ship. Looks like they may have been training squadrons.

The part with the E-1B Tracer, taking off without being catapulted worths the viewing too.

      View File F-8K & F-8L Crusader (TW DLC)
      Third Wire F-8K & F-8L Crusader 1.0

      This pack is a TW DLC enhancement. So it's needed to work.
      Included is the F-8K with data/ avionic/ effect/ sound corrections for accuracy, as well as modification of the Third Wire DLC F-8K Crusader model into the F-8L model Crusader.

      F-8K
      -    The F-8K is the F-8C airframes rebuilt to extend their service life starting in 1969. It is updated with the same underwing pylons as F-8E, but it did not receive any engine or avionics updates. The F-8K was used mainly by the Marines squadrons in the States and did not see any combat.
      F-8L
      -    The F-8L is the F-8B airframes rebuilt to extend their service life starting in 1969. It is updated with the same wing as the F-8H as well as the landing gear from the F-8D/ E, but it did not receive any engine or avionics updates. The F-8L was used mainly by the Reserve squadrons in the States and did not see any combat.

      To install:
      1, Unpack and drop into your main mods folder.
      2, Override when prompted.

      Credits:
      -     F-8 DATA & LOADOUT v1.0 update  by FANATIC MODDER.
      -     SF2V Air & Ground War Expansion v.2.0 Gold  by Eburger68 and team.
      -    Weapons by Ravenclaw_007.

      CombatAce fair use agreement applies.

      Enjoy,
      Dan.

      View File [Fictional] Vought F-8EJ Crusader (JASDF)
      Vought F-8EJ Crusader for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2:VIETNAM
      This is a simple mod of the stock Crusader F-8E to give a fictional F-8EJ in service with the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) during the 1964 - 1985 timeline with markings for;
       
      203rd Hikotai (overall grey).
      302nd Hikotai (overall blue with sharkmouth).

      BACKSTORY
      After a long selection process the Vought F-8EJ was finally selected by the JASDF in 1962 as its standard interceptor-fighter. With it's impressive unrefuelled range, reliable Pratt & Whitney J-57-P-20J engine and powerful Magnavox APQ-94J radar the F-8EJ served with a total of eight JASDF squadrons with initial deliveries commencing in late 1964. 
      Compared to the superb multi-role F-8E, and because of Japan's own 'self-defense' status and imposed peace treaty terms, the F-8EJ was stripped of much of it's surface-attack capability but gained a modified APQ-94 radar, wing-mounted AIM-7E Sparrow missiles and also had a very useful anti-ship capability (deemed acceptable as being an 'anti-invasion' capability) and all eight 'Hikotai' had maritime attack and reconnaissance as a secondary role. The F-8EJ's served until the mid-1980's with the 302nd Hikotai being the last to surrender this very popular aircraft in JASDF service in 1985.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-8EJ folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-8EJ 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.

      View File [Fictional] F-8E Crusader Royal Australian Navy
      Vought F-8E Crusader for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2:VIETNAM
      This is a simple mod of the stock Thirdwire F-8E to create a 'what if' Royal Australian Navy F-8E Crusader with markings for No.805 and No.808 squadrons.
      You must have Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam so that you have the necessary Third Wire F-8E LOD's that are, of course, not included here. 

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the F-8E_RAN folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the F-8E_RAN folder into your Decals folder.
      That's it!
