    Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) Install: Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination. A fake pilot is required to run this mod. New model of F-86D and L as used by USAF. Set includes 3 variants which in the game you will find under the prefix *USAF. F-86D-25 Sabre Dog -early variant without assisting drag chute (Block 10-40). most of them were later upgraded to D-45 standard - (block D-16-46) It is named here D-25- - despite differences in block builds 25 was the first to introduce external fuel tanks and was a baseline for further blocks. F-86D-45 Sabre Dog -drag chute equipped variant - (Block 45-60) Named D-45 as it was the first of the line with drag chute housing and some other minor modifications. F-86L-61 Lima Dog - L model - upgraded airframes with data link SAGE system (not in-game) and 6-3 wings. All are rebuilds of D models - (Block 11-60) All skins are in 3072x3072 format. Skins represent all squadrons (71) but three*, USAF Interceptor squadrons that ever used F-86D/L All squadrons have set skins to StartDefaultDate= into a period that particular model/paint scheme was used. * I did not include 3 squadrons as I was not able to find any single reference photo (probably no special markings were used as those squadrons lived for only a few months, but still reference would matter to me) Because this mod was evolving through time, I was not entirely sure how I was going to proceed. So some squadrons have correct serial numbers for a particular year, Others use decals from three decal folders representing airframes build- blk45-50, blk 55-60 and L blk11-61. Some aircraft have some special markings (C.O. stripes etc.) and some have nosearts. Since the serial numbers list is always around 600 airframes it will appear on proper aircraft, You just have to find them in game. I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea. There is a small ini change in the cockpit and avionics ini. I changed a little angle of the radar scope. It uses only the Mk4 Mighty Mouse rocket as a weapon. And yes it is possible to fight enemy bombers. Additionally, I added a special "weapon" for D-45 - that will be loaded automatically after 1956 - 'F-86D_sugarscoops' the same as on the L model introduced to remaining D airframes. This is just a visual upgrade, not really a weapon. Credits: The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench.

    Hello everyone! The works on F-102's MG-3 and MG-10 FCS radar scope is almost completed. It is one of most challenging research, after being unable to find the exact color fo scope. If the color is incorrect, please let me know and I will fix it. What gave me clues about MG-3 and MG-10 is by tracking back to the older technology of Hughes E and MG series FCS used by F-89s and F-94s. By seeing how F-89A / B / C and F-94s used Hughes' E-1 FCS paired with An/APG-33 radar. The scope is gray. (I am starting to realize that the radar scope may be glowing grayish green when powered ??? I am stil learning more about radar.) Then F-89D, with more advanced E-6 paired iwth AN/APG-33 and another system, still shows gray radar scope. Then comes F-89H, which uses E-9 FCS, still show , which seems to be gray scope (I can be wrong, due to the an ture of black - white pictures from manual)). However, what is noted is that FCS after E-9, such as MG-3 and MG-12 is modified version of E_9. I noticed that MG-12 have dark olive-greenish gray scope while MG-3 used by F-102, shows dark gray ccovered by a radar lid that shows lines on top of it. Here is picture of what I think, could be MG-3. Because it makes sense, MG-3 is modifeid E-9 FCS while MG-10 is digitalized, more advanced that comes after MG-3. Then found next images, which I believe is MG-10 FCS: From flight manual: And based on what is seen form Rambam F-102s for DCS trailers, it makes sense that it looks like this: Finally, here is the MG-10 and MG-3 radar scope (WIP): Feedback nare always helpful and appreciated.

    ---------------------------------------------------------- STRIKE FIGHTER 2: AVIONICS COMMUNITY PACK (SF2: ACP) v0.2 --------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to SF2: ACP first release of alpha. Before I explain about the pack, I want to express big thank to the wonderful communities and modders of Combatace and Combat Flight Sim Tavern (Discord), including Thirdwire for the simulation. You all are the reasons why this pack exists. I want to use the passions to improve SF2 into higher levle with avionics. This requires a lot of research, reading flight manual, and tons of tweaking in avioincs and cockpit ini, along with countless of testing in-flight in SF2. The mods is not perfect, we do our best with the mods. We do it with the joys of our hobbies! This pack includes the following features: - New gunsight / optical sight - New texture for radar scope and another avionic equipment (See note #1) - Improved cockpit and radar through cockpit and avionics ini tweaks for semi-realism (See note #2) - Templates for gunsight and radar scope - Improves glass texture (If possible) - Accessibility - Optional, includes the AAM firing cue on gunsight for people who can not hear the sounds of missile locking on targets. NOTE #1: Due to the nature of lighting system inside cockpit in SF2 engine, I had to apply the darkness level on top of texture scope, in order, to prevent them from glowing. In templates, you will see "darkness" layer for this reason. NOTE #2: As mentioned in note #1, due to little resources (Information / data) on 40s to 70s radar, at least half or most of tweaks are based on an educated guess. For exampe, AN/APG-33 radar that is used with E-1 FCS in F-89B and C, there are some data on it, but no data on elevator nor azimuth angle limitation. F-89D, in other hand, with E-6 FCS and AN/APG-40 radar, there are several data, which is applied in .ini files tweaks. --------------------------------------------------------- TEMPLATES There are templates for gunsight, radar, RWR, and another type of avionics assets. It is there so anyone can use it to create their own avionics for any aircraft. --------------------------------------------------------- Avionics overhaul for Historical vs fictional aircraft I am dong overhaul for both historical and 'what if' fictional aircraft. For example, in this alpha version, there are avionics overhaul for F-8A to F-8K, along with France F_8s. It also includes 'what if' JASDF F-8EJ Crusader. --------------------------------------------------------- Installation: Inside each aircraft folder, there is folder "_AIRCRAFT COCKPIT FILES". Inside that folder, there are two folders "DEFAULT" and "ACCESSIBLITY". You can only use one of them. By default you should install the files from DEFAULT folder. However, if you are Deaf or Hard of Hearing that can not hear the growling sounds of IR missile, then ACCESSIBLITY is for you. NOTE: Make sure you make the backup copies of aircraft folders, in case something goes wrong during the installation progress. Inside DEFAULT or ACCESSIBLITY, for any aircraft you have in SF2, copy the aircraft folder and overwrite an existing folders and files. --------------------------------------------------------- Changelog v0.01 - First release of SF2: ACP v0.02 - Includes avionics overhaul for A-1s, A-4s, F-8s, F-89s, and MiG-15s --------------------------------------------------------- Current / Future plans I am currently working on next series of cold war aircraft avionics overhaul. If you have any feedback or request for aircraft avionic overhaul, please post in CombatAce forum discussion: https://combatace.com/forums/topic/99178-sf2-avionics-community-pack-wip-alpha-release-v01/ --------------------------------------------------------- CREDIT: - dtmdragon: F-8 packs for radar and other assets from cockpits - Stary: new cockpits for SF2 aircraft, including F-89s - Wrench: A-1s, A-4s, and another aircraft and cockpit tweaks - Wing over Korea: Gunsight textures. - Combatace and Combat flight sim tavern: feedback and supports - Thirdwire (TK): Strike fighter 2 simulation Thank you for enjoying the mods!

    View File F-102A RAZBAM pack v1.0 YOU NEED RAZBAM F-102A FOR USING THIS PACK ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had this reworked F-102A in my HD for a long time. I have combined Paulopanz 's skinpack in RAZBAM with my own improvements. I made a complete rework of the performance specs, engine data, cockpit and avionic mods, new pilots, and ravenclaw weapons with completely new loadouts. There is also - a Vietnam specific version that can fire Air to Ground AIM-4s, converted by me, and SUU-11 pods. - a HAF specific version which is not much more than deleted AIM-26 capability in case X aircraft and a new pilot. Credits must really go to - RAZBAM - Paulopanz - Ravenclaw Known issues - the SUU-11 pods are not placed correctly. I didn't have time to fix it. I hope someone will fix them.

    Hello, I did some work myself for the F-102s looong time ago which I never released it and afterwards I forgot about it. It was as complete as it could had been....avionics, performance specs, everything... Also, please check this all this work is inside dragon's packs, I first presented avionics rework for the F-8s back in 2016.

    I'm trying to get it done for my own Super Hornet Pack, so there's that (didn't see this one as quick, sorry), but no ETA other than the requisite two weeks Anyway more on the F/A-XX: https://theaviationist.com/2024/11/16/u-s-navy-f-a-xx-update/ I'm more of a Super Hornet guy, so maybe somebody else will do it.

    As Jimbib say's it was BioHazCentral before becoming CA, we all kind of migrated over here one the bickering and infighting over at SimHq got a bit too much. I joined in October 2003 Things were pretty calm to start with then then YAP fiasco erupted....( nothing to do with theft, this one , before you all start.) Caused a bit of unrest and bad feeling against some of our key members.....but like most internet forums things eventually calmed back down , and here are 20+ years later still going strong.

    I would base it on flight deck size ... the stock Essex (SCB-125) is rated SMALL. This is correct, as they couldn't launch or recover Phantoms for various reasons (cat stroke, arrester cable strength) (had a friend who's dad served on the Coral Sea -- they even had problems launching at a full load) The stock Kittyhawk's (CVA-63) are classed as medium, as are the Nimitz class. You don't want to go Large, as that's for things like An-12s, B-52s, Tu-95s, etc The "rough fields" you taking about is the Runway3, is classed as SMALL -- and very stupidly created for this game. I mean, who the fuck is going to operated jets, with low-slung intakes just asking for FOD. (that's why I've repaved them on most of my terrain mods) runway 2, the part paved, part marston matt, is classed as MEDIUM, even though it's the smallest of those (1,5,6) So to conclude; if the CDG is near Essex size, use SMALL in the Entendar's data ini

    Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure, etc.) Install: Copy and paste specific folders into the correct destination. A fake pilot is required to run this mod. New model of F-86D as used by far East Asian countries. The set includes the Republic of China Air Force, South Korea Air Force, and the Philippine Air Force. Do not overwrite any old files that you might downloaded here in CA. Make a backup of old files or rename new ones. But definitely do not mix any files of the old F-86 with this new one. In the game, you will find it under the prefix * F-86D Sabre Dog I fixed data files a little - collision points and hitboxes..as the previous ones were quite weird. However, I believe that the flight model could be improved for this aircraft. But this is not my cup of tea or coffee. All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize as needed. Decals represent historically correct serial numbers assigned to aircraft during their service in a particular year. Or I believe it does. Credits. The model is new but some parts are based on Zur's F-86H which I was able to work on previously with Wrench. Yours truly - model rework, mambo jumbo like skins, decals, research... Weapons Mk4 Might Mouse and AIM-9 by Ravenclaw. Have fun. Report bugs. * Expect the unexpected. Live long and prosper.

UNDER THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT * report BIG bugs...If I misspelled something or forgot to add a sound file...for dog's sake try to fix it.

    1.What inclued: 1x aircraft carrier, R91 Charles de Gaulle the aircraft carrier is the flagship of the French Navy,I don't think I need to introduce too much about such a famous ship; 2.Note: According to available information, the most "obvious" defenses on the R 91 are several VLSs that launch Aster15, so I reserved their launch positions, but you need to get them(I mean the missile) from Whiteboysamurai's work such as "Horizon Forbin class", because he is not under Freeware license, so I will not include his work here; As for the remaining 20mm machine guns, I did not add them because their role in SF2 is very limited; 3.Usage: Unzip and copy Objects folder to where your game is installed; 4.Credits: (1)Sameh Aransa(offsite user): Original models and textures; (2)ME: port models to game add a lot of detail objects,do a lots of animation and texture works;

    Decided "What the hell" and uploaded 5.6 of the Super Hornet Package, changelog when approved: 5.6 - Tweaked ALQ-99G textures to better represent real-life pods - Tweaked ECM values for all of the aircraft, adding power to the internal jammers and enhancing capability. - Fixed [DetectSystem] on the EA-18Gs - Added more numbers for the EA-18G VAQ-140 and VAQ-130 skins, numbers go from 500 to 505. Also fixed the decals.ini file for both skins and updated the numbers.lst files too. - Added the promised VAQ-132 skin for the EA-18G. - Tweaked the Readme, doing some grammar stuff and updated some things - Added more loadout options for the Escort Jammer, Early Warning, and an OIR loadout for the USN EA-18G - Updated the "default" VAQ-130 skin for the EA-18G. - Removed carrier entries for the RAAF aircraft, so they don't spawn on carriers. - "EA-18G" folder has now been renamed to "EA-18G_BlkII" so it doesn't conflict with other EA-18G mods. - Thanks to allenjb42 the aircraft now fold wings on carriers. In a future update, the canopy will stay closed, but for now will be open. - Tweaked radars for the Block III jets, now have improved range. The search range is 137 miles, and the track range is 100 miles. - Block III jets have new cockpits modified by Coupi. Unfortunately due to the lack of a dedicated cockpit modder this is what we can do with the game engine. If Brain32 returns, I will ask him if he can do a more realistic cockpit. - Increased thrust for the Block III jets (all except RAAF) by 20%, in line with real-world engine upgrades - Added an internal sound courtesy of crisisloaner for the internal cockpit sound. - KNOWN ISSUE: Due to the lighting on the 3D mesh of the displays for the Block III cockpit, the NVG (both types) filters by simonmiller416 at night cause the various panels for the cockpit to light up to be unusable. There is no fix for it at this time, so you will have to use a Block II or Block I aircraft if you want to fly at night (Block II EA-18G if you fly it). - Used the AIM-120D texture and 3D model by ravenclaw_007 for it. - Added an AIM-174B air-to-air missile, work done by dtmdragon and original model and texture by WhiteBoySamurai - USN Growlers now can fire the AIM-9X by default - Removed internal ECM for the Growlers (including the RAAF birds)
