    Ok, some more details. Completely inspired by Gepard’s Operation Seelöwe work, a comment alluded to needing an upgraded London Bridge. Rightfully so, the one we have is archaic and definitely needs an overhaul. First – full disclosure and acknowledgement that the original base model mesh is not my work. It is based on a publicly available free source model with no author attributed. Next, that being said – like many free models, you get what you pay for. This model was an absolute bastard to work with and had countless issues. I mean endless open edges / unwelded verts, massive 8K+ poly pieces, double-faced/overlapping polys, incorrect texture mapping and God knows what else. So I created new scratch mesh pieces, brand new textures, new UVW mappings, fixed shadow issues and basically re-worked the whole thing over. Why? Well, I invested a lot of time researching and gathering reference photos/textures – but kept coming back to this option especially because it had some really great main texture pieces. This model will most likely never meet the level of quality I was hoping for, and I’m sure there will be some issues here and there. Unlike most of my stuff, this one is definitely tipping on the higher poly side but I plan to make some lower level .LODs and tune up performance eventually. In hindsight, wish I would have taken my friend Del’s advice when he said, sometimes the time to fix issues is better spent starting over – wise words indeed in this case. Having just started from scratch would have resulted in cleaner mesh topography and probably given me more satisfaction in the end. But it's good to at least be at a place where it's feeling "decent enough" and dare I say even rivaling some other flight sim payware additions like this one... OK, enough of all the boring details, right? On to the screenshots for you to enjoy! This will be available as an exclusive feature in Gepard’s Operation Seelöwe project – so stay tuned as his work progresses! As for future ideas – I eventually would really like to add in vehicle and pedestrian traffic on the bridge (but would need help researching era-specific vehicles) so more to come. In-Game Shots

    Nope. or you can add lights via effect emitter. In this case, the effect is quite cool but it does not really give illumination ahead...rather than glowing bulb ...but looks better than those tgas shaped into light cones. (or maybe someone can work on emitter effect that will give proper light effect) I am using one of the aircraft carriers emitter effects. during the day... and night...

    Version 1.32

    The Mirage Factory F-14 Tomcat Super Pack V1.32 22 APR, 2017 What it is: This is the F-14 Tomcat Super Pack v1.32 Full. It includes addition of Direct Lift Control to the Flight Model, AI AIM-54 Phoenix Missiles, modified Iranian F-14 loadouts and other minor adjustments. ================= Installation: =====CAUTION===== 1. This was tested at July 2013 patch level, on an "All 5 Merged" install, as well as a "vanilla" SF2:NA install. Because it uses AvionicsF14A.dll, will require at least SF2:NA (or a TW F-14) to work! It will not work on Gen 1 sims, nor will it work correctly on pre-April 2012 installs! (Caveat: Avionics70.dll F-14D should work on pre-April patch levels). 2. It is HIGHLY recommended you back up your current F-14s to a back up folder. If you have extra skins installed and wish to keep your current folders, be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN to delete the cockpit folders from each aircraft folder after backing up, as this install features updated cockpits, and retention of the old folders will lead to artifacting on the RWR, VDI, and other systems. If you have custom skins installed, be sure to back up your F-14(A/A+/B/D).ini to preserve the texture set data. ================= 1. Unzip the contents of the F-14SP_V132.7z file into a folder. 1a. If you have installed the Avionics70 F-14D, ensure you back up the .ini files if you haven't renamed the bird, since this install will overwrite F-14D_92, 96 and 06! 2. Open your Strike Fighters 2 mod folder (e.g., C:\User\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\...) 3. CAUTION: (ONLY FOR PRE-v1.30 VERSIONS), DELETE THE PRE-1.30 COCKPIT FOLDERS!!! FAILURE TO DO SO WILL CAUSE ARTIFACTING ON THE VDI, HSD, RWR, AND POSSIBLY OTHER SYSTEMS!!! 3.a. IGNORE STEP 3 IF YOU ARE UPDATING v1.30 OR v1.31 4. Copy the contents of the unzipped Effects, Flight, Missions, Objects, and Sounds folders into your SF2 mod folder, allowing all files to overwrite (Effects, Flight, Missions, Objects\Aircraft, Objects\Weapons, etc). 4a. (RECOMMENDED) Review the flight manual for tactical employment of the F-14. 5. Go fly! NOTE: If this either a new install or an update to the F-14SP v1.30 or 1.31, follow the above procedure, allowing all files to overwrite. If this is an update to 1.14-1.22, follow step 3; for in-depth instructions, follow the F-14SP V132 Installation Instructions.pdf ================= EXTRAS: -You may choose to use the Avionics70.dll F-14D for SAR mode on strike missions. If you wish to do so, see Section 6 of the F-14 SP Update V132 word document (Para 6.1-6.3) for install procedures and recommendations. ================= Aircraft Included: F-14A (1974-1984, 1982-1995, 1996-2004) Iranian F-14A (1977-2030) F-14A+ (1987-1990) F-14B (1991-1995, 1996-2005) F-14D (1992-1995, 1996-2006, 2005-2006) ================= List of effective changes: v1.32 22 Apr 2017 1. Added Direct Lift Control, based on Cliff7600's spoiler speedbreak mod 2. Added AI Phoenix missiles with Rmax of 65nm to improve AI F-14 Probability of Kill 3. Updated flight manual to reflect DLC change and AI AIM-54 (now 75pgs) 4. Assigned White external fuel tanks to F-14A_74 and F-14A_IR (IR does not carry externals by default) 5. Fixed White fuel tank capacity (was not adjusted with grey tank prior) 6. Updated Iranian F-14A loadouts to better match most current data from ACIG 7. Updated/Added Iranian AIM-7E-3 and AIM-9J models to equip Iranian F-14As 8. Changed F-14A_IR availability date to 2030 v1.31 1 Aug 2016 1. Updated engine static thrust to match NATOPS installed measurements 2. Updated flight manual to reflect thrust change v1.30 11 Jun, 2016 1. Updated F-14A/B cockpit by Chris "ToS" with tweaks by Crusader & Caesar 2. Fixed radar scan elevation in VSL-Hi 3. Adjusted aircraft empty weights to remove gun ammo and trapped fuel 4. Added AI F-14s to improve AI survivability in a dogfight 5. Adjusted default gun tracking range to 1000ft/305m. Gun is now more accurate both with and without lock. (Crusader noticed & it was implemented) 6. Adjusted auto-departure numbers to allow the aircraft to fly and depart more naturally 7. Adjusted maximum altitude to provide player engines a buffer between 55,000 and 60,000 feet. 8. Updated cockpit avionics & weapon symbology 9. Updated Wing Sweep schedule and gave Glove Vanes smooth animation to match NATOPS 10. Reduced effectiveness of ALQ-100 & 126 11. Adjusted bands on the AN/ALR-45/50 to match published data 12. Adjusted AoA Indexer to match NATOPS (green = slow, yellow = on-speed, red = fast) 13. Adjusted F-14D_96 loadouts to remove extra AIM-7 loaded into Station 5 alongside AIM-54s 14. Adjusted Sedjil pylon allowable weight (was too low to equip missile) 15. Added inaugural cruise paint schemes for VF-1, -2, -14, -24, -32, -41, -84, -114, and -213 16. Adjusted avionics symbology 17. Added 74-page F-14 SP Flight Manual “F-14SP 01-F14ABD-1.pdf” 18. Fixed ACM Panel (Crusader) 19. Fixed F-14A_82 CAP loadout, which put the ALE-29/39 in the wrong location 20. Fixed jettison point of ECA/EFA to forward Phoenix Station 6R to match installed location 21. Changed skins to .jpeg format to significantly reduce size of mod without sacrificing detail 22. Adjusted external tank fuel quantities to 1800 lbs/tank (maximum internal and external fuel together now matches real-world 19,800lbs, rather than over 20,000lbs). 23. Adjusted engine thrust and Specific Fuel Consumption (SFC). The F110 had approximately 60% of the TF30’s SFC. The F110 was adjusted to lower SFC, while the TF30 was adjusted to increase SFC. ================= Credits: Model: Flying Toaster, Oli Cockpit: Chris (original and new update) with tweaks by Crusader and Caesar FM: ThirdWire, Caesar, Column5, Spectre8750, Cliff7600 Avionics: Crusader, ThirdWire, Sup Gen, Caesar, Dave, CrazyhorseB34 Pilots: Old_Diego, CrazyhorseB34 Skins: Dave, Spectre8750, Column5, Caesar NATOPS Textures: Chris Extra Hangar and Loading Screens: Dave Ejection Mod: Stary Testing: Caesar, Sup Gen, Dave, EricJ, Spectre8750, Saisran, Cougar_1979 Weapons: Ravenclaw, wpnssgt, Bunyap and others New Phoenix: Ravenclaw Manuals/Flight Manual: Caesar ===Dedidacted to Oli===

    According to Russian sources/photos the radio altimeter is "Reper-M" ("N" is probably another case of Letter mis-ID) on the ML series. Two prototypes with internal ECM, the MiG-23MLDG with Gardenya jammer and one other.

    For goodness sakes, why not just take a "good" wheel, clone it and rotate it as needed! In my opinion, you don't need to be messing around with symmetry, mirroring, or any of those other modifiers that are just more likely to make things worse - to me this seems like the easiest and "safest" way unless I'm misunderstanding something?

    better to use symmetry. make a wheel , resetxform, uvmapp, set pivot point to X=0, apply symmetry on x axis. then again symmetry on y axis. You have 4 wheels. fast and easy.

    Crusader had them working in SF1/Wo* more than 10 years ago. And they still work. Part of the issue is viewport height (altitude?) S/B set over 2km above the vehicle, so it can "see" to the horizon (more or less) same as ground and naval artillery. We also have working SCUDs (the stock ones, iirc)

    I use things such as RN_Desert and others to control both timeframe and geographic fencing for planes. For instance in my all inclusive install that's how I make sure I don't get CF-5 showing up in Bering Strait (because BS is only open to Canada_NORAD and the CF-5 only belongs to Canada_Europe) or CF-101 showing up in Germany (because of course, Gemany only accepts Canada_Europe and the CF-101 is only used by Canada_NORAD). It also allows me to have theater specific squadrons/skins (making sure no Atlantic Fleet Tomcat squadron ends up in the Pacific and vice-versa unless it makes sense for the scenario). But yep that should never, ever be your first solution, insanity lies that way. Good thing I already was.

    It is little-known history* that in the late 1950s, their Lordships of the Admiralty recognised that the Supermarine Scimitar was an unmitigated failure. As an American observer noted at the time, only the British could build a jet fighter with 22,000lbs thrust, that still remained stubbornly subsonic. Not only was its performance rather disappointing (British understatement?), the Scimitar was extremely unreliable. At one point it required 1000 maintenance hours per flying hour, and over 50% of the Scimitar fleet was lost in accidents. Its best contribution to the Fleet, was as a Ground Instructional Airframe (which is where the author first saw one, at RNAS Arbroath in the late 1960s). In an act of some desperation, therefore, in 1958 the Admiralty cancelled the remaining 50% of Scimitar production, and instead discreetly obtained 40 F4D-1 Skyrays from US Navy stocks. Capt Eric (“Winkle”) Brown was highly influential in this decision. A navy test pilot with the world record for carrier take-offs and landings (2,407 and 2,271 respectively), and an objectively strong advocate of American naval ac designs, his advice on procuring the Skyray was decisive. (Besides, he was a Scotsman. From the right side of the country)(ie the East Coast - did I mention that I'm from Arbroath?). Modified to carry the British Firestreak IR missile, and also to perform the light strike/attack role, the F4D-1 thus entered RN service as the Skyray F1. These ac proved to be particularly useful on the smaller British carriers, Victorious, Centaur and Hermes. For example, in Hermes, the Skyray allowed 892 Sqn to deploy a full 12-ac sqn, instead of the originally-mooted 8-ac Sea Vixen "sqn-lite". This had the serendipitious additional social advantage of eliminating all the Sea Vixen coal-hole observers from the Wardroom. Later in their career, 20 RN Skyrays were modified to FAW2 standard. This entailed replacing the original AN/APQ-50A radar with a lightweight version of the Lightning's AI23 "Airpass" radar, installing compatibility for both the Red Top all-aspect IR missile and the US Bullpup AGM, and replacing the original 4 x Colt 20mm cannon with a harder-hitting package of 4 x ADEN 30mm cannon (albeit with halved ammunition loads). Deployed in HMS Victorious in 1965 during the Malaysian Confrontation, one of these Skyray FAW2’s shared with an RAF Javelin in the double kill of 2 Indonesian C-130B’s, caught in the act of attempting to infiltrate Indonesion paratroopers into Borneo. The RN’s Skyrays were finally retired with the decommissioning of HMS Eagle in 1972. Their last service was to familiarise a generation of FAA pilots with USN ac types, in preparation for the introduction of the superlative F-4K Phantom (another Winkle Brown protogé). *Alternative history. The reader is encouraged to decipher what is fact, and what is fiction above. For it is not all the latter.. :) Installation: the usual, simply download and unzip the "Objects" folder, and drop it into your SF2 mod directory of preference. Always always always backup your original stuff before trying out new mods like this. Credits: this mod is based on the SF2 Skyray 1.1 mod, which I think is the work of Julhelm and NeverEnough. Regret not sure to whom credit is due for the Firestreak, Red Top and Bullpup missiles, and the SNEB Can, so if I missed you out, sorry, but I tip my hat to you! Legal Stuff: all the usual disclaimers, ie use at own risk, always always always backup your original stuff before trying out new mods like this (bears repeating). Plus this mod is consistent with both Queen's Regulations for the Royal Navy, and the Official Secrets Act. Cheers, Tally-Ho etc Mike D
