  1. Foreign Sabres Pack

    17th July 2009 SF2 version updates by knx, all props go to original creators as listed below dotted line.
     
    Install instructions, drag and drop Objects folder into your mod folder.
     
    Here's the original readme, not all of the contents are included here as the pack seems to have been broken down into smaller packs, more on the way soon:
    .........................................................................................................................................................................................................................
    F-86 Sabre /MiG-15 README:
     
     
    First of all I would like to think “USAFMTL” for allowing me to be a part of this effort.
     
     
    Secondly thanks go to David Zurawski for his wonderful F-86 Sabre that is such a work of art.
     
     
    Thirdly thank you to all that have modeled and skined the work to developed individual sub-models of the F-86.
     
     
    Thanks to Jimmy Bib for all his graphical engineering.
     
     
    Lastly thank you to “Fubar 512" for his expert guidance in my effort in Flight Modeling.
     
     
     
    If ever the was an aircraft the looked, felt, smelt, and tasted like a fighter aircraft ; it’s the F-86 Sabre!
     
     
    And being an actual jet rated pilot, with a little over 1,200 actual flight hours, compelled me to tweak , my “Sweet Sabre”.
     
     
    Being my all time favorite aircraft and being an avid history nut about the Korean Conflict compelled me in an effort to add to these works that so many started.
     
     
    First of all. All data contained in the data.ini files was deeply researched by “USAFMTL” and myself.
     
     
    Only minor tweaks where utilized, building on the work of those that created the aircraft models.
     
     
    All aircraft preform to Dash 1 specifications to the degree of 99.9%.
     
     
    All aircraft where thoroughly tested by hundreds hours of actual, not autopilot, testing.
     
     
     
    The yank and bank style of A.C.M. with this aircraft is gone.
     
     
     
    Key points are :
    1) Keeping a high energy fight.
     
     
    2) Thinking well ahead of what the aircraft is, or what you want it to do.
     
     
    3) The required use of the speed brakes to alter or set up YOUR fight or flight, in reference to turning radius. Not just chopping the throttle, that is a only a good way to die.
     
     
    4) And for the self proclaimed, “Fighter Aces”, fly these models on the HARD setting, to truly test your skill.
     
     
    5) All F-86 and MiG-15 are uniform in performance. The aircraft preform as did the actual models of this noble era.
     
     
    6) The addition of armor to all aircraft end the ,“QUICK KILL”. These can be altered still to fit ones preference.
     
     
     
    A little history:

  2. U.S.A.F. Early Model Sabres SF2

    16th July 2009 SF2 version updates by knx, all props go to original creators listed below the dotted line.
     
    Install instructions, drag and drop Objects folder into your mod folder.
     
    Notes: I will try to figure out why the magnetic compass to the right of the cockpit isn't showing up, just a case of finding the appropriate bmp from first series games I think. Will update as and when. Please let me know if you spot something else that needs updating/tweaking. I'm sure there is something I missed, so point it out to me please if you can, the reason I'm uploading now as it is, is so that issues can be pointed out and resolved before the rest of the packs to follow. Regards, Gwyn.
     
    ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
    The original readme follows, note that this pack is only one specific part of what is described here, the next lot I will be updating are the later model USAF Sabres (I don't know who is doing the MiG-15s)

  3. FJ-3M

    15th July 2009 SF2 version updates by knx, all props go to original creators as listed below the dotted line.
     
    Install instructions, drag and drop Objects folder into your mod folder. Simples tsiek!
     
    Notes: The old shadow entry and shd gives the "shadow appearing as a shaft of grey to the ground" problem, however so does the newer method on my system. Swap out the xx in the FJ-3M.ini [shadow] entries to see which one you prefer.

    FJ-3M Fury Mod
    by column5
     
    First, let me thank Zur for allowing me to mod his excellent F-86. I'd also like to acknowledge DanW who did the original F-86 skin, which I modified for this aircraft.
     
    You do not need the F-86 to use this mod, but if you DON'T have it you should: http://www.simtweak.com.
     
    Soon after the Korean conflict began, the US Navy realized that its current front line fighters, the F9F Panther and F2H Banshee, were no match for the new MiG-15. The Navy wisely contracted North American Aviation to modify the superb F-86 Sabre for naval use, and the result was the FJ-2 Fury (the FJ-1 designation had already been applied to a completely different aircraft). The Fury was developed over the course of the 1950s into the FJ-3, represented here, and ultimately the FJ-4. Unlike the FJ-4, the FJ-3 is externally very similar to the F-86, and is well represented by Zur's F-86 model.
     
    The 'M' in the aircraft's designation represents the ability to carry early Sidewinder AAMs. The FJ-3 is also equipped with four Mk12 20mm canon.
     
    This package includes a skin representing the bright colors of VF-53 Iron Angels circa 1956.

  4. WE.177B

    Hello, this is a placeholder WE.177B 450KT thermonuclear device for use by RAF aircraft. The WE.177B began life as an interim weapon as a result of the Skybolt fiasco but became the UK's longest serving free fall nuclear bomb. The last remaining ones were retired in 1995 leaving the Senior service as the sole custodians of Britain's nuclear deterrent.
     
    Credits: Whoever made the B-83 nuclear bomb, all credit goes to this person for creating the LOD that I have chosen for this because it has the closest match in shape and size compared to the others. The skin is also a repaint of the original. I assume permission according to the Freeware Licensing agreement at Combat Ace is granted by the creator as this weapon was included in the 331 KillerBee's SFP2 Ordnance Shop, if you know who created it or are the creator please drop me a PM so I can add you to the credits.
     
    Not to be used in payware at all on pain of death.
     
    Kopis n Xiphos 11th May 2009.
     
    Note: You may have to increase the values in the bomb bay or attachment points to get this to fit, it was carried by Jaguar, Tornado, Vulcan, Victor, Bucaneer and most likely would have been squeezed into the F-111K somehow had we continued with that project.
     
    Edit: File updated to reflect real life service dates, 1966-1995
