The Original Desert Storm

Thought people might get a laugh out of this.

Thanks to guuruu and angelp I got the tracking radar working.

Close Encounters :)

Last minute save, strafed the radar right after launch The irony of using guns to strafe a target in order to save rockets, and scrape away a couple of full, brand new pods for going too low.

The Mark 4 Mod. 0 HIPEG 20mm gun was the USN version of the USAF SUU-16 / SUU-23. It wasn't used very often in the Vietnam War with the exception of the VAL-4 "Black Ponies" squadron they liked and regularly outfitted it for use on their OV-10 Broncos. The USMC later put the Mark 4 on A-4 Skyhawks, A-6 Intruders, and F-4 Phantoms for close air support. There is also a modified version with different fairings and spent shell chute that was found on the H-34 helicopter. The Mark 4 Mod. 0 (MN 10121a) The GPU-2/A. This may help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._aircraft_gun_pods

Check the pivot axis in the FC Radar, they must be aligned in the same way, looking at the picture I can tell you that the X axis in the radar is looking on the oposite side of the gun. In 3dmax reset the pivot using the X-form tool . That should work.

Set this radar as gunner . I did same in Osa.

i´m working on a new F-4B model for SF2 and need a bit help 1. based on the tactical manual from September 1972 for the F-4B was the AERO-3B launchrail used on early F-4B versions , antil when was this Aero-3B / AIM-9B used in the Navy ??? i assume that with the AIM-9D service start ( about 1966 ) the LAU-7A launchrail was used also for the AIM-9B 2. the F-4B was able to carry 1 AIM-7 on the inner wing pylon , did that continou for all Navy versions of the F-4 , i have pictures showing the AIM-7 on inner wing pylon on F-4N dont know with later versions 3. is there a way to limit the drag chute to be used on land based airfields only , i now that we have some entrys so the chute can only be dployed with a certain air speed dont know if there is a way for land based airfields to if anybody knows some answers please let me know

i was on the search for info material on the Mark 4 mod 0 gun pod and found a picture showing the Mark 4 mod 0 with 2 barrels and an other Mark 4 with just one barrel , i searched but could not find any info on that single barrel pod , may be i t was just a test that never pushed true any info is highly appreciated this is the Mark 4 mod 0 gun pod and this are the picture showing 2 Mark 4 pods the one with 2 barrels and the other one with just one , the Mark 4 mod 0 is the one on the lower right and it is missing the tail section the only difference between this 2 gun pods are the muzzle , the one for 2 barrels the other for 1

I,ve been monitoring this forum all along and am very happy to see our return here. So my password and all the other stuff was never in doubt.

To avoid continous fire of rear guns experiment with these values ;-) [Gunner_REAR] GunnerFireTime=2.5 [Gun_REAR_1] BurstAmount=6

The best I've managed to do so far is to create a dummy object then link the fuselage and everything else to it, set the dummy object pivot point to where the main wheels touch the ground and set it up as a dummy flap.....this will then rotate the whole aircraft whatever amount you want, you can get the shock and wheels etc to extend as needed.......pilots and seats dont move with the fuse though....just some tweaks needed there I tthink, all pylons have to be set as rotating pylon and recessed missiles also need a dummy pylon to make them work......sounds pretty easy eh?......nope, not worth all the effort too much pissing about for a bit of eye candy.,

Ok I understand, I'll leave it alone. You just saved me from headaches trying to make 'filter' works. I will go ahead with simple methods by just editing aircraft's name in .ini files. By the way, for a bright side, I just began working on a new menu mods for SF2 with new GUI styles. I got inspired after seeing how the menu are set up, and I want to use my GUI design skills to make a new menu mod. If I ever get stuck, I'll post the questions in modding section. If it goes well later, I will post a mod here. For now, here is my rough design of the new menu, it is inspired by Jane's Fighter Anthology: Cheers!

B-57C Pakistan Air Force Low pass

View File SF2 NAA B-45A & B-45C Pack SF2 NAA B-45A & B-45C Pack by Veltro2k 3/16/2021 -For SF2, Any and All (Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended) "Quarantine Approved - Essential Mods" This is the release of the North American B-45 "Tornado" light jet bomber. This was the first jet bomber in USAF service, and the 1st one (USAF) with 4 jet engines. There are 2 aircraft in this package, all representing aircraft from the 47th Bomb Wing, as stationed in the UK in the early to mid 1950s. Please note, these are the BOMBER version =ONLY=. In this you have: B-45A: 86th Bomb Squadron B-45C: 85th Bomb Squadron All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All serial numbers are 100% historically accurate. On the "A" model's number list any marked with a star (*) have been 100% matched to the 86th BS, those without, while serving in the 47th BW, could not be matched to a specific squadron. As there were only 10 "C" bomber variants built, I've assigned them to the 85th; in Real Life (tm) only a few C's made it to squadron service, and those were intermixed with the A's already in service. All necessary parts have been provided, with one caveat. The Mk.7 (61kt) nuclear bomb dose =NOT= include the nuke explosion effect. As there are several around, you End Users (tm) may need to do some editing/renaming. I use the one from the Gunny Ordinance Pack. The skin template is included, as are the templates for the tail and nose squadron color flashes. As another B-45 exists from "elsewhere", these 2 have been differentiated in their Displayed Name on the aircraft Drop Down Selector. You'll see: B-45A Tornado (V2K) and B-45C Tornado (V2K) This shows it Veltro's build, even if you don't/can't get "the other one". As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE READ THEM!!! Also, please read the "Notes" for other info, and some operational suggestions. Happy Landings! Wrench Kevin Stein ======================== To Install: As always reccomended, unzip the "sf2_b45a-c_pack.zip" to a temp folder or your desktop or somewhere that's easy to find. Copy/Paste the /Objects folder DIRECTLY into the SF2 game install of choice's /Objects folder. It's already divided into the various sub-folders used by SF2. ------------------------------- = NOTES: For all interested, the RB-45C recce bird from the 2010 MAX files I've been hanging on to, has been sent to RussoUK. As soon as Russ gets caught up on his projects, and fixes the myriad screw-ups on the this, we'll have the recon version. I've very aware the FM is a bit "overmodeled", expecially in releation to engine power. But, research shows that these did routinely out run (the recces for the most part) Mig-15s at pretty much all altitudes. I have the Pilot's Manual for anyone wishing to study or dispute any numbers. Or for anyone wishing to fine tune the FM. While the A carries no external wingtip tanks, this variant of the C does. In reality, they are removable (bolt-ons) and were added when the mission called for it. These tanks, while seperate items, have the "NoJettisonTank=TRUE" statement. So, don't bother trying. As the aircraft has no offensive guns, I've kept it strictly to the mission tasking as USAFE had -- conventional strike with GP 500 pound bombs (24), and "special attack" using the T-10 Tallboy or the Mk.7 nuke (61 kt version set in the loadout ini). There is no CAS/Armed Recon or Anti-Ship tasking. The entire produciton run of the bombers served in Europe as deterants against the Reds. You do have functioning ground mapping radar (the usual) AND a working bombsight for altitude bombing. Anything else you'll have to use 'Kentucky Windage', as there's no other in-cockpit sighting methods. Now, if the game engine would actually ALLOW the aircraf to fly at it's normal 20k feet altitude...there is MOST definately something wrong in the game's AI routines. But, we knew that anyway. Even using the AI statements (LevelBombAI) set to 9000m, the damn bird stays well below that. The Strike_Heavy (Tallboy) & Strike_Nuc can be accessed via the in-game mission editor, and are selectable on the "Loadout" drop down.

some pictures showing the new vents on the bottom side and the new panel lines on nose ,fuselage and tail , the wings are next and no rivets yet and a new walkway on the top fuselage , i made a lot of new mapping on the nose section and the fuselage section still a long way to go i may need someone , as soon as the templates are done , to help me with the skins and decals and as test pilot

Testing already complete and FMs uploaded for the B.E.2a and 2c variants. Detailed instructions and the FM package are located under this post: https://combatace.com/forums/topic/87403-tweaked-flight-models-and-realism-pack-for-fe2/?page=8&tab=comments#comment-780396 Ave. performance figures are in the post above. Happy flying in 1915, Von S

Brief progress report on the B.E.2a FM - now flies correctly, and barely. Stats: - top speed 118 kph at about 300 m alt. - top speed 95 kph at ceiling limit of about 2800 m alt. - stall buffeting below 70 kph - spins below 55 kph or so (get out of spins as quickly as possible or the g-forces will "borrow" your wings and forget to give them back - I think that's about as obtuse as I can phrase that ) - at SL it is possible to push it to about 121 kph or so - loops are not recommended, and hardly possible on the type, unless you are willing to risk losing flying surfaces - elevators are good in dives to about 200 kph, then the nose comes up again (the B.E.2c dives more effectively) - best climb rate about 1.5 m/s at 90 kph can be sustained to approx. 2000 m alt. ----- Have also modified some aspects of the B.E.2c data ini too, in conjunction with work on the 2a: - bit more power from the engine now - top speed about 121 kph at 300 m alt. - can be pushed to about 126/7 kph near SL (this makes sense since recorded historical top speed of about 116 kph on the B.E.2c, if we believe the stats, was taken at around 1800 m alt.) - have also included some prop RPM changes on the B.E.2c, and more subtle power nos. across different altitudes (engine power changes/drops every 500 m now, or so, instead of the stock 1000 m gap that was in the earlier data ini for the 2c); same types of changes applied to the B.E.2a as well - loops not very manageable on the B.E.2c either, from what I've been able to test - best climb rate about 1.7 m/s at 90 kph can be sustained to approx. 2000 m alt. ----- Now to test how the AI lands the B.E.2a, and also to dogfight against it in an Eindecker E.I - hope to have the finished files uploaded here in a few days. Some representative pics. below. Cheers all, Von S

Lockheed F-104BA Starfighter - 8 Grupo, Fuerza Aerea Argentina, 1981

found some more on this AN/ALE-29 chaff flare dispenser , but still no clue what year it enter service

i have a question regarding the Chaff/Flare dispenser used by the USN /USMC on the F-4 Phantom , it seams that the early F-4B did not have them , if so what year did this dispenser show up and on wich F-4 models was it used ??? i have pictures from F-4J / N /S with this dispenser , not so sure about the F-4B and i think the RF-4B / C used them to

working on the tail getting the panel lines right , rivets are next
