AH-1 P Upgraded Cobra Over Turkey. Part 2. SF2

BELL AH-1P Upgraded COBRA Ver 1.0 for SF2

June 2016.

This is a third party add on of the AH-1P upgraded Cobra using models and cockpits created by me.
The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
I have just modified it a bit.

It is designed for and works only in the SF2 series.

WeaponPACK for this model is also 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:

AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.

ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.

LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.

ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors

ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)

ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)

ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.

In 1995-96 Turkish army decided to upgrade old P model. It was sent to Israel for upgrades. And it was brought to late Israeli F model standard.. But still in official documents and info plates on helicopters it is P model. Aircrafts received new electronics, HUD and all israeli F model upgrades.
All serial numbers are proper for Turkish P model and historicaly correct.

For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector - 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.

NVG.
Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,

Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P/E model.
Including XM158 and M200/M260/M261 launchers and for smoe late models M260 and M261 with Mk66 motor rockets.
TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D
There is additional optional Suppressed Exhaust loaded via weaponstation.
Also here there is new M197 automatic cannon loaded via weaponstation.

One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.

Pilots:
I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.

Enjoy.
Report Bugs.
Edit your way.
