CatPack - Archiving utility for Third-Wire CAT format, GB 27-12-2009.
 
V1.12, Freeware, Use at your own risk, files limit is set at 8000.
Packs all files in current folder to CatPack.cat except CatPack.exe/CatPack.cat.
Unpacks any cat file you drop on the icon to a folder with the archive's name.
 
You can press Ctrl+Break to interrupt and close the program, but it will leave
files unfinished when doing so.
 
UPDATE:
CatPack V1.1 will extract contents of the new Strike Fighters 2 Cat archives.
The Display will tell the Cat version to be 2, instead of 1.
Subfolder information contained in version 2 archives will be restored properly.
The unicode filenames in the version 2 archives are converted back to ASCII,
therefor actual unicode-only characters in filenames will not be restored.
Catpack does not yet support creating a version 2 Cat archive. Maybe later.
 
CatPack V1.11 works properly when Cat files are in folders that have their
'archive' flag set. This seems to be the case with the SF2 objects folder.
 
CatPack V1.12 has some additional features when extracting a Cat archive:
First it automatically creates an index file of the Cat file.
Second and it allows one to optionally pass a wildcard string, only files matching
this wildcard string will be extracted from the archive. For example "mig" will
only extract files that have "mig" in their name or extension.

F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter Version 2.2 BETA Release
A USAF Version
B USMC Version
C USN Version
 
for the SFP1/WOx series beta Version 2.0
 
With thanks to Dave, JSF Aggie, JAT81500, Amokfloo, and especially FastCargo
 
This is a Beta Release, I have to appologize that I simply don't have the time at present to finish up the cockpit, but I hope to have it finished someday! Meantime, I'm happy with the flight model, radar and weapon delivery, I'm afraid the AI is somewhat lacking when it comes to engaging with AA missiles from the weapons bays.
 
Templates are included.
 
A few notes about flying the F-35:
 
This model has only been confirmed to work in 1st Generation TW Sims (SFP1/WOx). It has not been fully tested in 2nd generation sims (SF2,SFV).
 
The AI still has problems in hard mode doing an approach to landing in the A and B models. We are still working on that.
 
The B model VTOL mode has been made to be very similiar to the real thing in terms of performance. What that means is don't try VTOL mode fully loaded out...you won't get anywhere...literally. Plan to be publically ridiculed if you post a question on the forum asking how to do to a vertical takeoff fully loaded.
 
Also, the real thing will not allow you to engage afterburner in VTOL...this limitation was not possible to implement in the TW sims. What that means is if you go to afterburner while in VTOL mode...bad things will happen VERY quickly.
 
Speaking of the B model, for some reason, the nozzle will not animate open or closed. Several things have been tried to get it to work with no success...we are not sure why this is broken, especially since it works in the other models.
 
To install:
 
Effects in the Effects folder
Objects in the Objects folder
Sounds in the Sounds folder
 
Please do not release modified files for this aircraft without my written consent, you are welcome to release any skins you like using the included templates. As always, any use of this mod for commercial ventures is strictly prohibited unless included in a future official Thirdwire Release.
 
The creators of this mod are not responsible to any damage to hardware or software as a result of installation. As always: BACK UP YOUR FILES!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Constructive criticism is always appreciated, but please be nice; I'm emotionally delicate, like a flower.
 
Clear Skies and Check Six!
 
-Adam Burch 22 May 2009
 
The USN and USMC skins are basically up to the end user to make what they like. I will more than likely sponser another contest at CA for the best skins for the F-35B/C versions.
 
Dave (USAFMTL) 22 May 2009
 
Version 2.1
 
Several bugs fixes by FastCargo, added Klavs81 new cockpit.bmp and new hangar and loading screens.
 
Dave (USAFMTL) 24 May 2009
 
Version 2.2
 
F-35C sound fixed.
 
Various ini fixes by Crusader
 
Dave (USAFMTL) 29 May 2009
 
Version 2.3
 
Fixed gun naming issue.
 
Dave (USAFMTL) 3 Jun 2009

The Harrier GR7 is a license-built American-designed AV-8B Harrier II fitted with RAF-specific navigation and defensive systems as well as other changes including additional underwing pylons for Sidewinder missiles. The improved design of the GR7 allows the aircraft to carry twice the load of a GR3 over the same distance or the same load twice the distance. First flight of the Harrier GR7 was in 1989, and deliveries to RAF squadrons began in 1990. A total of 96 aircraft were ordered, including 62 interim GR5s which were later modified to GR7 standard.
 
Detailed "readme" file included.
 
The TIALD pod included in this pack is meant to be used only with this plane.
 
Just as a reminder, maximum VERTICAL take-off and landIng weight is 18,950 lbs.
If you try to take off vertically with a full load of weapons and fuel, the plane will simply not get airborne and, if you try to land, you'll fall like a brick.
Best vertical landings are performed with a 25% fuel load or less, just experiment to find the right compromise.
 
Good hunting

This is currently an AI only plane, I will say it again, this is currently an AI only plane as we didn't have a finished enough pit to include it. Having said that, you all know in Knowledge Base it tells you how to make AI planes flyable. If you go to the forum and say you can't fly it because you didn't read this readme. I will clown you hard and may not even be nice.
 
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...st=0#entry90487
 
That link above will tell you how to make AI planes flyable.
 
Knowing you all will make it flyable, here are the known issues:
 
There are so many loadout combination that we went basic but we did our best to get many things to work. Your milage may very.
 
We did our best. Enjoy.
