Sikorsky RH-53D Ver 3.0 for SF2 This is a third party addon of Sikorsky helicopter RH-53D. It is designed for and works only in SF2 series. And will never work in SF1. ************************************************************* This is FREEWARE-DONATIONWARE and it CANNOT be distributed unless permissions are granted by myself. The original readmes, if any, and all other pieces of the package MUST remain intact. The names of all contributors, modders, suppliers, etc =MUST= be listed in any new readmes. This package and any part of it may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware additions. See the original readme documentation, if any, for further allowances and restrictions Any persons wishing to make further modifications, contact me first. Any persons wishing to make further modifications MUST remember to put everyone's name in it. Bribes and donations are accepted; ************************************************************* ************************************************************* THIS AIRCRAFT MOD OR ANY PART OF IT MUST NOT BE HOSTED OR POSTED FOR DOWNLOAD ON ANY OTHER WEBSITE WITHOUT MY EXPRESS PERMISSION, OR USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE THAN THIRDWIRE FLIGHT SIMULATORS, AND MUST NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE BY ITSELF OR WITH ANY OTHER FILES OR MODS. ************************************************************* Jarek Hereda ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This mod represents Sikorsky model of RH-53D. It was used mainly by US NAVY Mine countermeasure units. At the end, of service time RH-53D were passed to USMC reserve units, where served as transport/heavy lift helicopters. Some were still used during Desert Shield/Storm operations in 1991. Finally, RH-53D was written off from units in 1996. 12 aircrafts were also ordered by Imperial Iranian Navy. Only six delivered before the revolution. Add then all six remained in the newly formed Islamic Republic of Iran Navy Aviation. CHANGES: I highly recommend to overwrite previous files decals/weapons/guns- or best is delete the old one and put new files. YOU NEED TO DELETE OLD AIRCRAFT FOLDERS RH-53D_70. Many things were changed and as tested Overwriting may cause some problems...So delete old ones put new ones. The rest (except Aircraft folders) are same can be overwritten without fear... Small changes in ini files, corrections on fuel loadout, changes in cockpit ini. Small changes in skins. Also No longer fake weapon "no gun" is needed - thanks to The Trooper. He pointed small fix in data.ini. Added simple bump and specular maps. Also added damage tgas. Some changes and rearrangement in a cockpit ******************IMPORTANT****************** FakePilot mod neede to run this mod. As always with my mods. This addon works with my CargoPACK (included in rar file). All of the weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course, you can edit and use any other weapons available. Standard commands: LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploys/retract at any speed. ANIMATION 1 - right side door. ANIMATION 2 - left hatch cabin windows ANIMATION 3 - wipers outside/inside ANIMATION 4 - Refueling probe - H key (hook by default) will change seat position to see a tip of the IFR probe. ANIMATION 10 - Winch Parking animations. Two parking animations included one for 'on land base' and other for 'on board' parking. You can fold tail and rotor by enabling animation in data.ini file. But it looks silly. And my intention for this animation was eye candy on board vessel. With little practice, you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes. Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control. With heavy cargo load probably you need little run on A model as engines on A are little underpowered. Normally throttle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 70% then slowly more and more, wait and it will take off. Cockpits. Newly upgraded cockpit based on NATOPS manual. Mirrors working now and showing correct image. Fuel usage is not super perfect but compared to all previous H-53 models released here fuel gauges are working. Skins. All serial numbers are based on available photos, NAVY and USMC documents and are historically correct. Weapons. The only "offensive" weapon is left/right side gunner. Well, I'm straffing convoys with it with great success. Important - if there is no gunner - fake weapon (no gun/empty) must be loaded. For now, it must be this way. Same as default should be loaded Mk103 minesweep. This is allowing top cargobays to be seen. This addon works with my CargoPACK (included in rar file). All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course, you can edit and use any other weapons available. Here is experimental Mk105 minesweeper sled different than in previous CH-53D pack. This one is only for RH-53D. To see Mk105 open cargo bay. Also, you can add refueling probe. At the beginning of service, this aircraft has only provisions for refueling probe. Cargo loads. I am releasing this cargo load in current condition. So maybe some skins needs to be adjusted. Cargo loads includes few cargo crates for cargo bay and hook, howitzer, MUTTs. Skins for MUTTS - Thank yo The Trooper. IMPORTANT - Due to the construction of this mod it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard, you may have some complications on airfield - especially with underslung cargo load. Skins. All serial numbers, as far as I know, are based on photos and US Army docs and are historically correct. US Navy - HMH-12 'Sea Dragons' 1977 - HMH-16 'Seahawks' 1979 - HMH-14 'Vanguard' 1981 - HMH-18 'Norsemen' 1987 - VR-24 World's Biggest Little Airline, Helos on COD duties. USMC - special for use in Desert Storm mod if needed: - HMH-772 Det.A Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots. As bonus there is Eagle Claw folder -easy to find. Inside - skins for sand repainted RH-53D - also replacement file for lod and deta.ini file - this wil make EAPS dissapear. So backup original lod and data file before using Eagle Claw mod. So yo were warned. Have fun. Edit and report bugs. Jarek Hereda. Thanks. Thanks to everyone who helped me with this. daddyairplanes,331Killerbee,76.IAP-Blackbird. Thanks for all kind support.

All serial numbers, as far as I know, are based on photos and US Army docs and are historically correct. One specific folder for Desert Storm Mod Fans. including one of two units operating D model during Desert Storm. HMH-462 Model 80 two generic paints green and 3color paint scheme. Model 99 HMH-362, HMH-363 and HMH-463 operating CH-53D at the end of service of this aircraft. In 2012 CH-53D was finally retired. IMPORTANT - Due tu construction of this mod it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard you may have some complications on airfield - especialy with underslung cargo load. Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots. This mod still needs some work. But I am afraid that if I will not upload it, I might never fully finish. Have fun. Edit and report bugs. Jarek Hereda.

Gloster Meteor F8 Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) Install: Copy paste specific folders into a correct destination. Fake pilot is required to run this mod. Also, Thirdwire Meteor cockpit is required from the original game. Mod is using standard TW fuel tanks 100 and 175 gal. It will not work on SF1 gen game. This model is based on Veltro2k model of Meteor T.7 uploaded on CA somewhere in 2016 by paulopanz. Some time ago few guys decided (because they have a chance to do so) to rework this pretty aircraft. So, first of all, thank you Veltro2k. Although. There is just very few original parts of an old model. Most of it was remodeled. Added bits here and there. And of course it is F.8 not T.7...so generally different plane. This mod contains only one generic skin without any national markings. Decals.ini file is not provided. This mod is uploaded with an intention that the community will develop this mod...skins, decals etc. So do not expect tons of skins, serials and decals...You have to do it on your own. I did my part. And yes I'm aware that we have Gloster Meteor F.8 - but this is my approach... Templates in PSD format are provided. Credits. Veltro2k - the original model of T.7 Me - model rework and then rework again into F.8 and some other mambo jumbo like skins etc... Seat - all credits to creator - unfortunately I don't remember who made this seat. Pilots - I have no idea / don't remember who did it. All credit to him/her. - one of my favorites figures in a game - I've added this to correspond with the data file. Weapons Not provided any weapons - but it was designed to work with Ravenclaw's RP-3 rockets. and standard UK 500/1000lbs bombs. Have fun Report bugs. Expect the unexpected Jarek Hereda THIS MODEL IS ONLY TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE AND IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL IT BE USED, EVEN IN PART OF ANYTHING THAT IS PAYWARE. IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT

CH-124 pack for SF2 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Based on the SH-3D AND SeaKingMK41 made by Florian. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This is the CH-124 Sea King as used by the RCAF for the SF2 series of games. The skins represent the schemes used by the RCAF on their CH-124 Sea Kings. The serial numbers in this skin pack along with planes numbers are real one's. You will get the following skins in this package : CH-124A circa 1963 CH-124B circa 1974 CH-124B circa 1991 * Note : I did not touched the model, so visually only the CH-124A 1963 variant will look like the real one. Thanks to Florian who made a change to my CH-124A lod, i am able to depict a CH-124B look alike as the dome radar has been put on the modified LOD. So unless someone is doing modeling work on this bird to add the RCAF goodies like the Flir, sunoboys launchers and a few other things someday, only the skins for the 1974 and 1991 variant will reflect the real birds. I HIGHLY recommand to install the complete aircraft as follow. COMPLETE AIRCRAFT : Copy the CH-124 Objects/aircraft folders content to your game aircraft folder. Copy the CH-124 Objects/decals folder content to your game decals folder. Copy the CH-124 Objects/pilots folders content to your game pilots folder. Copy the CH-124 Objects/weapons folders content to your game weapons folder. Copy the files in the CH-124 Objects files to your game objects folder. Copy the CH-124 Sounds folder content to your game sounds folder. Credits: - Thirdwire - Florian for the great SH-3D model AND SeaKingMK41. But more for having modified the LOD file so i could depict the ''B'' version. - Myself for the decals and rework :) Happy flights! Mario C. Frenchie1977
