AV-8B Plus Harrier Marina Militare This is the AV-8B Plus Harrier in service with the Italian navy. Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) A fake pilot is needed to run this mod. It is designed for and works only in SF2 series. Skin is in 4096x4096 format. So you can easily resize down. If you have problems running this in game. Resize skins to lower resolutions All serials are correct for the Italian version of Harrier II. Animations: 1= canopy open - close 4= refueling probe - beware of a speed limit 3= night vision mode - not really helping but it is there - inside and outside animation. ************************************************************************************ You can exlplore ini files for some additional features like in cockpit "FLIR" feed on HUD . AAQ-28 can be loaded only on station number 5 and centerline AIM-120 can be loaded only on stations 2 and 6. ECM also activates RWR on digital display indicator - even if ECM pod is not loaded. If you have yakarov79´s AV-8B Harrier already - some files are same so simply overwrite. for proper sound work you should add these lines into soundlist.ini SoundFileXXX=USMComm_1 SoundFileXXX=Equalizer [Equalizer] Priority=NORMAL Looped=TRUE NumBuffers=2 3DSound=TRUE DopplerEffect=FALSE MaxDist=1000.000000 MinDist=100.000000 InsideConeAngle=360 OutsideConeAngle=360 ConeOutsideVolume=100 SoundFileXXX=USMComm_1 [USMComm_1] Priority=NORMAL 3DSound=FALSE NumBuffers=1 Looped=TRUE FrequencyControl=FALSE ************************************************************************************ Credits.

Example: C:\Users\username\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Additional Notes by FastCargo: Each model of B-1B has the ability to carry the specific weapons it was authorized for during that time frame. Most of these weapons are included in this package...the preset loadouts represent typical arrangements. The weapon stations have been setup so that you can only load the type and number of weapons for each bay in the loadout screen, reflecting real life limitations. Also, the maximum gross weight for takeoff at sea level is 470000 pounds...you can easily exceed this just with the default loadouts at full internal fuel weight. It is HIGHLY recommended to lower your internal fuel to 75% to get under the gross weight. At full gross weight, the AI and you will require the whole runway to takeoff...you will probably not 'unstick' until close to 200 knots. At minimum weight, it should only take about half the runway and about 160 knots unstick. Also, do not rotate above 9 degrees pitch on takeoff before you leave the runway...or you will scrape the tail and may crash. The FM has been through some major rework to get around the limitation that the sim has with large swing wings. The current FM setup is a compromise to allow docile handling with realistic performance. There are some weaknesses with it, mainly during mid altitude cruise flight tends to take more power than the real aircraft needs. You will find that the FM mimics the real thing in most limitations...lower altitude ceiling at full gross weight, faster roll rates with wings swept back, etc. Also, 'at the limit' handling has been much improved...much more difficult to stall at high speed. Handling is fairly carefree, simulating the real aircraft's fly by wire helping you keep the aircraft within limits. It is still possible to overG or stall...with bad consequences for both. For mission planning and the AI, the sim uses the 'CruiseSpeed' parameter to determine attack speed, and the LevelBombAI, ReleaseAlt to determine how high it's attack run is. Because of this, you may find the parameters for both to be different for each model. Here is the current list for each one: B-1B_86 - Speed-540 knots / Alt 1500 feet B-1B_92 - Speed-540 knots / Alt 1500 feet B-1B_96 - Speed-540 knots / Alt 600 feet B-1B_98 and 03 - Speed-320 knots / Alt 15000 feet The 2 later models are high and slow because they mostly do standoff and PGMs, which usually require altitude. The 2 earliest models are low alt, high speed for the nuke mission to get away from the blast (btw, you will NEED .9 mach and 1300 AGL to drop a gravity nuke...or you won't make it out of the blast radius). The middle model is same speed, but lower altitude because they didn't carry nukes anymore. We did our best. Enjoy.

________________________________________________________________________________________________ From now on , this new update: http://combatace.com/files/file/15169-operation-odyssey-dawn-update/ It is mandatory to be applied over this MOD. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Opération Harmattan---------Operation Ellamy---------Operation Odyssey Dawn--------Operation Freedom Falcon----------Operación Amanecer de la Odisea---------Operation Mobile Version 2.0 HD This is the definitive version of the original Operation Odyssey Dawn MOD. It includes a highly reworked version of the original Operation Odyssey Dawn MOD also avaible here at CA. As it is a big package and those are usually difficult to handle by some users I'm going to explain with the higher ammount of details how to install it and how to work with it , so please guys READ this README. 1) Requirements * A very powefull computer at LEAST with an intel core i5 and 6Gb of RAM, if not loading times will be crazy and gaming horrible as the CPU won't afford the MOD 2) Installation * Use a CLEAN , and when I say clean it is a CLEAN MOD folder * Path the game up to july 2013 if you don't do this the MOD won't work , so you are warned * Drop everything you have in the 3 .rar files and when it asks you to overwrite say: YES TO ALL * Rar files are at .rar5 format so please be sure that you use the lastest winrar version You can also use this program if you have problems unzipping the MOD: http://www.bandisoft.com/bandizip/ * Then everything should work 3) If you do the above things , you think that you fullfill the requirements and the MOD does not work properly, What to do? * Any PM sent to me regarding this question WON'T BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT , because I don't want to have 12 PM's asking me the same thing in 3 different languages. * So to solve the above point I've created a "problem template" , that you must fill and post at the file announce post of this MOD "problem Template" Installation you have: Path: Type of problem: Campaign working (YES/NO): Air unit of the campaign: Plane used by the air unit 4) Weapons They are included and based in RavenClaw's MOD so , if you miss some of them because I may have forgotten to add them just download this: http://combatace.com/files/file/13929-weapons-pack-2/ 5) Campaign There are more assest than in the original MOD however a lower number of them will be flyable. The reason is the use of many off-map bases. 6) Credits: "I approve of the mod" dmtdragon The Mirage Factory Cocas Dels eburger68 ianh755 Dave Sundowner JSF_Anggie Aleks1 JAT81500 Feedee Bobrock JeanBa Stratos Ice Man Logan4 Wrench Bongodriver Foxmonter DenissOliveira Ludo.m54 Centurion-1 Coupi Paulopanz Marcelo ace888 Brain32 wpnssgt Veltro2k Blackfish Sordo EricJ Eole2 RavenClaw_007 FastCargo Baddmeister YEYEYE Crusader Sillone104 WhiteBoySamurai frnt Kesselbrut I've I forgotten to mention someone , just tell me.
