Su-17 Fitter-C V1.0


I know this has been a long way, but finally, we are releasing the first variant for the swing wing Su-17 series.

The Su-17 (Sans Suffix) is the first production swing wing series coming from the fixed wing Su-7 series, which has been in service since 1959. the plane still shared some common parts with the 7, like the tail (same as the Su-7BKL series) and fuselage fuel pipes, to mention some external ones.

The same store payload (more or less) was hanging from 6 external hardpoints, all for unguided munitions, the only real advantage with the Su-7 series is the swing wings that shortened the takeoff and landing runs.

Unless its predecessor this specific variant was not widely exported, only Egypt was provided with a few examples (named Su-17K).

CombatACE team who deserve credits on the project is mentioned below, please if someone is missing (Hey, this has more than 10 years in the making) is listed below:

I want to thank the advice to the following guys:
Snailman for the references
Soulfreak for the stencil pics
Stary for general skinning tips

General installation tips.

As this is a first release and the plane was operated by the Soviet Air Force, I recommend using it in the European/Asian-Ish terrains for realism.
All squadrons and decals have been verified as historical, but errors may have been made, be nice to us (me)
All of the mod folders have been arranged for you to drop them in the main game folder of your preference.
Some weapons have been made from scratch, please review what you have and what you need.
Some effects have been made, also, please back up what you have.

Su-17K as mentioned above, will be released as separated for SF2:I

Thanks to all who stayed this long with us to (hopefully) enjoy this release, we will work on the next variant as time allows, as they are in the final stages of release.

Safe flights everyone!

Nice job. Well made plane and skins.

What i'm missing is the MBD3 multi rack, which is not included in the download.

And i'm not sure whether the unit "156 APIB, 19 AO, PVO, Baku" is correct. The 156th was in the first time a fighter regiment in the Air Defence (PVO), based at Mary in Turmenistan and was later transfered to the Air Force (VVS) as fighter bomber squadron. From 1983 it was based in Afghanistan. So i think you should change PVO to VVS and check, whether Baku is correct.

I see a number of typos in cockpit labels on the screenshot. Usually I would offer to help spellchecking them, but no point in it now
