View File SF2 F-89 Scorpion Remod Pack (Ver.3) SF2 Northrup F-89 Scorpion Remod Pack (V.3) 5/25/2019 *For SF2, Any & All (Full 5 Merged Prefered)* This is a repackaging, and MAJOR update of the F-89 Scorpion series of 1950s USAF All-Weather Interceptors. There have been many changes to the various inis, skins/decals, weapons, and whatnots. This is to be considered to be "Version 3", and hopefully the final time the F-89 gets a revamp (unless new models magically appear). This package builds on and improves from the v2 pack dated 3/3/2016. It also replaces that mod completely. This package contains ALL the various marks of the Scorpion, including those later variants built from/modded of Monty's original C & D model LODs. There are several new skins, marked with the star (*) You have herein: F-89C: 57th FIS, (Keflavik, Iceland) 74th FIS, 23rd FIW (Thule AFB, Greenland) F-89D: 75th FIS (Presque Isle AFB, Maine 1955) 84th FIS (Hamilton AFB 1955-59) 64th FIS (Alaska Air Command) 321st FIS, (Paine AFB, WA 1954)* F-89H: 321st FIS, (Paine AFB, WA 1956)* 75th FIS (Presque Isle AFB, Maine 1957) F-89J (Early): 321st FIS, (Paine AFB, WA 1958)* 449th FIS (Ladd AFB, Alaska) F-89J (Late) 59th FIS, Goose Bay Labrador (1958-60)* 178th FIS "Happy Hooligans" ND ANG (1958-66) 124th FIS, Iowa ANG (1962-69)* Several versions also have a "Generic USAF Silver" skin, complete with decals. You may notice several squadrons used the Scorpion in several of it's various incarnations. This is historically correct. Due to mesh/node mapping reasons, some marking remain painted on. A large number however, are decals. Serial numbers are 100% correct for the models depicted, but should be considered 'generic' as they don't represent actual aircraft with a given unit. Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins. Squadron's listed in the stock game's SquadronList.ini have their names activated via my 'fake' SqTail decal. Those will display their proper names on the Loadout Screen's Squadron Selection Window. When possible, the SF2 'date switch' has been used to turn on Air National Guard units as they became equipped with F-89s. On such aircraft that have operating canopies (those that use the F-89D lod), the canopy works via the Standard Manual Animation Keystroke (tm), shift/0. Included also are "Scorpion" specifc weapons (using the "StationSpecifieCode=" statements. Nuke explosion effects are included for the AIR-2 Genie rocket. 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. See "Notes" section for full change log and other important statements. The various other readmes, from all previous versions remain wherever they were originally residing. Good Hunting!

wouldn't it be great to (re) build a Crimson Skies type of thing for SF2??? (I never got the play the original!)

as long as the original builder has stated "free use", there are no issues Go for it!

you don't have to edit the LOD to make jpgs work on 1stGen models in SF2. You just simply use jpg skins. The game does the rest.

that's not funny! expecially from someone in Kansas! (do we have a twister emoji??) ___ required screenie: The Last of the Scorpions

none. it's a rather specific shape and has very odd engine arrangements you might get Capun to make one .. of course, then nobody else will be able to have ti.

Russ got me (re)interesterd in it .. been watching it on Amazon Prime

for the sf2 series, no and CL, a simple yes or no answer would have been more than sufficent, ok? We don't give a rat's about what's available for FSX in the SF2 forums. Thanks!

you know, I'd swear Dels uploaded the cockpit seperatley, but I sure as hell can't find it!! But it's here somewhere's, not just in the KAW ADs EDIT: found it, under Cold War Aircraft, A1

there's an RCS modifier that really does work

for the weapon: you need to have a "station specific code" line, like below from the 3W Mig-23: and have that lline in the weapon's data ini as well > that locks out anything else. (just had to do this for the remod of the F-89s I"m doing. sorry I can't help with the MAX stuff. But I"m sure someone else will!

Brother, you originally uploaded them to the OFF files, so I moved them to where they belong. Also, I edited the tag line, so folks know it's for the stock 3W A-1H Skyraider.

Running the (Tu-4) Bulls

that's good to know. there are some folks around here that seem to think differently, or just can't get it working, not matter what's said

We DO have the RAF 'varks around here ... just have to dig for them!

You REALLLLLLY don't want to go there... that's terraforming, and is not for the faint of heart or those easily discouraged. And has an unbelievably steep learning curve. (and not a Window 10 machine)

You can't. The game generates what and which ever parked aircraft it wants. as to A/D units, no matter what YOU do, the game populates as it wants, based on the Air Defense selection set in the Options or single mission options. And even then, it's hit or miss. Trust me on this....

it's a bug in the forum software, methinks

A pity Toward the Unknown isn't out on DVD -- one of my favorites of the time period (young James Garner bites it in the "XF-120"). Another would be "X-15", which I have on VHS. Found the trailer for The Hunters: Along the lines of Bridges at Toki-Ri, would be "Men of the Fighting Lady"

YUP! See if you can't find "Bombers B-52"

Under a Tropic Moon..

unfortunately, like many other mods uploaded in the last 12 or so months, these "people" (used loosely) fail to understand the policies and practices of this site. Even though they are clearly stated in a pinned topic right here in the announcements forum. Were it up to me, I'd delete them all, and make the uploaders do it right or not at all. but that's just me.

russ, check out the f-89 scorpions -- i did some jiggery pokery to get the rockets working. you may also need special rockets with sustainers to actually HIT something! (is Sky 1 next??? LOL!!!) ----------- required screenie
