---------------------------------------------------------- STRIKE FIGHTER 2: AVIONICS COMMUNITY PACK (SF2: ACP) v0.4 ---------------------------------------------------------- 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 next level with avionics. This requires a lot of research, reading flight manual, and tons of tweaking the texture, and avionics 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, RWR, and another avionic equipment - Improved cockpit and radar through cockpit and avionics ini tweaks for semi-realism (See note #2) - 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. - Improved night lights inside cockpits - Tweaks to the view angle around cockpit NOTE #1: As mentioned in note #1, due to little resources (Information / data) on early cold war era 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. ---------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- HISTORICAL VS FICTIONAL ---------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- There are readme inside each aircraft folder, please read the instruction to install the mods. NOTE: There is a folder "_OPTIONAL - RWR", by default, RWR always have texture. If you want TW style version of RWR, you can replace the RWR with the provided RWR texture from that folder. ---------------------------------------------------------- ------------- GUNSIGHT / OPTICAL SIGHT SYSTEM ------------ ---------------------------------------------------------- The new version of SF - CAP now have new gun system (texture and MILs) From now on, all guns have texture of 512 x 512, which is 150 MILs. In order, to use the new gunsight / optical sight, you MUST set MILs to 150 in cockpit.ini or ImageSize=0.2025 in avionics (HUD) When I created the optical sights, I measured the MILs of gunsight by pixels For example 512 pixel width is 150 MILs For example: For 100 / 50 / 25 MILs, it is 341 / 171 / 85 pixels ---------------------------------------------------------- ------------------- TEMPLATES SITUATION ------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------- Due to steer size of projects, I am more focused on creating texturs for avionics overhaul. It is taking a lot of my time and I rather to focus and finish the projects in time. Therefore, from SF - CAP v0.4 onward, it no longer have TEMPLATE folder. And to add, with the new gunsight / optical sight, it requires new templates too. However, if any of you want the templates for certain aircraft's avoinics, you can contact me by posting in SF - CAP thread or PM me in CombatAce. I can clean up the mess in the templates and send it to you to use for modding SF2. ---------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- CHANGE LOGS ---------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- v0.01 - First release of SF2: ACP v0.02 - Includes avionics overhaul for A-1s, A-4s, F-8s, F-89s, and MiG-15s v0.03 - MAJOR updates, > gunsight and radar are now in higher resolution. > Tweaked cockpit panning angles > Tweaked night lights for night mission > New texture to add 'Old CRT' effect to early cold war aircraft's DTV v0.04 - MAJOR UPDATES > New gunsight / optical sight system (texture and MILs) > Changed the orginzation of files structures > SF2 - CAP has evolved from a modder’s asset pack to a streamlined avionics overhaul for Strike Fighters 2 and add-on aircraft mods, ---------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- CURRENT / FUTURE PLANS ----------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- I am currently workong on adding more A-4s and F-4s to SF - CAP while is workong on another early cold war aircraft. f 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/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------- FREEWARE LICENSING ---------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The SF2 - CAP mod is a collaborative project featuring the exceptional work of various modders from the CombatAce community, alongside the contributions of my works.
