This mod represent the "C-2A(R) or "Reprocured" airframes as used from 1984 onwards. These are the 8-bladed prop versions. *This mod makes use of the stock 3W E-2C Hawkeye's destroyed model. SF2:NA is required to gain access to that lod. If you don't have NA, you may have to edit the data ini to use another destroyed model.* The aircraft is finished in standard USN Gull Grey/White. Serial number (BuNums) are 100% historly correct for this model, but should be considered generic in nature. 16 BuNums are provided, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. The templates for the skin are also supplied for other texture artists to use, and improve upon. Skins supplied in this package are: VRC-30 - original - 2009 scheme - 2015 scheme (various Dets) VRC-40 - 1999 scheme - 2015 scheme - 2018 scheme There are also some 'cargo pallets' as weapons, for loading in the cargo bay. (thanks to Cliff7600) As is always recommended, 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, before installing!!! I'd also like to take this time to thank Cliff7600 for volunteering to fix some (most) of the issues I couldn't. He also supplies some very nice new skins!! *** Be advised, this model is being released in "As-Is" condition. As the model builder has retired, any issues not fixable via ini edits will remain as we have no access to the 3d MAX files *** Wrench Kevin Stein =edited for release 3/20/2023==

**** Tactical Laser System Pod (TLS) **** _______________________________________________________________________ This mod contains the Tactical Laser System from Ace Combat franchise. You will be able to fly with a powerful laser beam generator, that can tear a carrier up, blow up half of an airbase, or split in two bombers from 10+ km of distance. The pack includes three versions of the TLS pod: - TLS-01: A generic POD available to all countries - TLS-01_F-15: Specific for F-15E - TLS-01_Su-37: Specific for Su-37 (The exact F-15E and Su-37 are detailed below, they must be downloaded) _______________________________________________________________________ *Installment: Drop the content into your mod folder (C:\Users\[User Name]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[ModFolder]) as usual, taking into account a couple of things: 1. There are two aircraft (F-15_14 and Su-37 Terminator), both folders only contains two modified INIs. One is the DATA.INI from each aircraft and the other is for LOADOUT. Both aircraft are the ones having its own dedicated TLS Pod in Ace Combat 7, thus I picked both of these aircrafts from the excelent Add-on mods that we have here. In case you don't have them, you can download them from these links, install them and then copy the modified INIs which includes the laser pod and loadout (AirToAirLaser). The links to download them are: F-15_14: https://combatace.com/files/file/16161-sf2-f-15-strike-eagle-super-pack-redux-2018/ Su-37 Terminator: https://combatace.com/files/file/15049-su-37-flanker-f/ 2. Once you install the Red Laser Gun and copied some lines into the BulletObject.INI there is a chance that the laser wont appear while you are firing it. In order to solve this you should copy these lines in the R-TLS_Data (inside Guns folder) [RedLaserEffects] TracerEmitterName=RedLaserBeam GroundHitEffectName=20mmGroundHitEffect GroundHitSoundName=DirtHit WaterHitEffectName=CannonWaterHitEffect WaterHitSoundName= ObjectHitEffectName=20mmObjectHitEffect ObjectHitSoundName=Impact3 ArmorHitEffectName=20mmObjectHitEffect ArmorHitSoundName=Impact3 AirBurstEffectName=FlakEffect AirBurstSoundName=FLAK3 Then it should work fine. ________________________________________________________________________ TO SOUNDLIST SoundFileXXX=TLS //---------------------------------------- [TLS] Priority=HIGH Looped=TRUE NumBuffers=2 3DSound=TRUE DopplerEffect=FALSE MaxDist=3000.000000 MinDist=100.000000 InsideConeAngle=360 OutsideConeAngle=360 ConeOutsideVolume=100 ________________________________________________________________________ KNOWN ISSUES 1. The generic pod may not be visible during the loadout screen, this may happen because the measures of the pod exceeds the limits from the Gun Pod station of the aircraft. It can be fixed by adjusting the length/diameter/weight limit in the weapon station of the aircraft. Measures of the Pod (estimated from images of the AC7 pod and the real measures of a SUU-23 Gun Pod): Mass: 1406.7 kg Length: 7.312 m Diameter: 0.92 m (moreless) 2. Also, I have not managed to fly with the full loadout of the Su-37, in my case It only loads the laser pod and the rest of the pylons are empty (I have to select the weapons manually), I guess this may be a problem of my installation, if anybody has this problem tell me. ________________________________________________________________________ Special thanks to: F-15: viper63a Su-37: denissoliveira Effects from which I developed the laser beam effects, I took them from Stary Unified Effects Pack. And everyone who contribute in these projects, which are truly masterpieces. ________________________________________________________________________ And as always, this is a FREEWARE, any distribution under payment of these files are strictly forbidden. Finally! If there is any problem or you want to give me your feedback I will love to hear it, I hope it works well and enjoy! Nuni
