File Name: Aero L-39 C/ZO/ZA Albatros add on pack File Submitter: Monty CZ File Submitted: 07 December 2010 File Updated: 07 December 2010 File Category: SF2 Series Add On Aircraft Aero L-39C/ZA/ZO Albatros for Strike Fighters 2 series (Europe, Israel) Installation: Under Win7 or Vista unzip content into User\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2(...)\Objects Under WinXP is the destination in MyDocuments\ThirdWire... History (from wiki): The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer aircraft developed in Czechoslovakia to meet requirements for a "C-39" (C for cvi?ný – trainer) during the 1960s to replace the L-29 Delfín. It was the first of the second-generation jet trainers, and the first turbofan-powered trainer produced, and was later updated as the L-59 Super Albatros and as the L-139 (prototype L-39 with engine Garrett TFE731). The design is still produced in an evolved state as the L-159 ALCA, while more than 2,800 L-39s still serve with over 30 air forces around the world. The Albatros – the most widely used jet trainer in the world – is versatile, seeing duty in light-attack missions as well as in basic and advanced pilot training. Role Military trainer aircraft Light ground-attack aircraft Manufacturer Aero Vodochody First flight 4 November 1968 Introduced 1971 Status 2,800 still in use in various air forces Primary users Soviet Air Force Czechoslovak Air Force Libyan Air Force Royal Thai Air Force Produced 1970s-1999 3D model: Monty CZ Textures: Monty CZ, Soulfreak Cockpit: Monty CZ Flight model: Monty CZ Hangar and Loading textures: Soulfreak Thanks to: Miroslav Han?ar, author of the www.l-39.cz page Barry Hancock, from www.worldwidewarbirds.com (check his articles about flying the Albatros there) all people from www.flightsim.cz who helped me Soulfreak, Kulbit80, 76.IAP-Blackbird, EricJ, NeverEnough and others.

FrankD the numbers dont have to be "adapted" for use in SF2 world you can use exactly what you supposed to. Differences in my ini and your sources are because I had different sources, If I remember only empty inertia I tried from lotus FSX version once and it wasnt good for me. I preffer feeling of aircraft ingame than exact numbers. I hope it helps you with your own FM work, but remember I do my FMs like a blacksmith would make a Swiss watch :-) Monty CZ

still alive :-) Monty CZ

If you want to try gyro effect fly with S-199 :-) this plane isnt flying straight and level, trust me By my opinion you can model a lot of things in this engine. I wish I have knowledge of the NASA aerodynamics specialist and enough free time :-) Monty CZ

Thank you man, I am honored that you choose and made this Monty CZ

Wrench it maybe looks like something from 1960 but it is plane from today !!! :-) on my screenshots is it with cockpit but UCAV version is produced as well what about AST-2U Phoenix? (U in case of UCAV) and dont ask me why I am not to good in acronyms :-) Monty CZ

Ok little background story: three europian members of the NATO (Sweden, Great Britain and Italy) agreed to cooperate on a project whose objective is development of the light attack aircraft with short takeoff and landing, operating from aircraft carriers and land bases. Companies involved are BAE Systems, SAAB, Augusta. Primary roles for this plane is Recon, anti ship/submarine, CAS And as it did in the case of the Harrier, the Marines tried the machine and included in their equipment as well. I dont know how are the armed forces of listed countries organized so please advice :-) Monty CZ

Julhelm you saved me few hours of my life!!!! thanx a lot the oldest autoback was file just before I mirrored all the components the others two were from time I checked older files...ufff I am glad that I didnt open anthing else :-) It gave me the idea for the name: Phoenix, what should be the code? (it is not supposed to be an american aircraft :-)) Monty CZ

Thanx for the support I will look at it. I saved the file but with 3DS still open, left the computer for a while It was in sleep mode and wont start correctly...it said something that system need to be repaired (blah blah) and after that 3DS said that file cannot be open and my ini work wasnt saved either. I was "x%!&@{" !!!! because I lost 80% of UVW mapping with textures already done, animations, hierarchy etc etc. I dont like Win7 ! but maybe I will start again, because this concept is weird enough :-) Monty CZ

and in this stage I lost most of the data due strange computer behavior... :-( so it wont be finnished Monty CZ

Julhelm as you can see from this point of view it is not so easy I dont want to affect that Lantrin thing on the left side (I designed it retractable) on the right side is cannon (not too long barreled because of the previous point) under the belly is 2 bombays and 2 exhausts from the engine 1st stage compressor for some aditional lift on slow speed. I think there is place for 2 external weapon stations for bombs or missiles with delayed ignition :-) Monty CZ

I made one ugly nose insteady of that pointed and aerodynamical, because I need to place sensors somewhere and that cannon needs to be fitted somewhere too :-) It just cant fire unguided rockets :-( Monty CZ

I think it is one side mesh (plane) so it is impossible to map ones side blue and one dark grey...I haven problem since avias were mostly in one colour :-) Monty CZ

I am saying "release it !" but dont know about others FM. I did my best with my FM and I never tested the one from AvHistory... it wont be the simple copy paste work. Monty CZ

Hello all fellow modders, I simply wanted to add historicaly correct airbase to GermanyCE map and use it in one of my mod. I can do 3D models of RWY, buildings, hangars, lights, blastshields etc etc but I can´t make them show in the game. Where are supposed to be the targets and types ini (saved games mod folder or terrain folder?) Or I can provide all models for free use and trade it with somebody who would make me the basic ini I can populate :-) (it is LKPD Pardubice Airbase map here) Thanx in advance MontyCZ

Since I am not able to use that great object placement tool I gave up :-( If somebody wants to finish it I can send objects, ini, drawings... Monty CZ

Julhelm minigun turret was tried on OV-10 Bronco but I dont think it is good idea flying low and slow while angle of attack is more than 20° is not the best way to support your troops :-) I can imagine 30mm fixed cannon instead :-D FrankD you are kidding me! right? :-) this plane has wingspan about 8meters, the same lenght, so the maximum power you could get from photovoltaic pannels is about 110kW in absolutely sunny day...my bike has more :-) You are not supposed to think green here! :-) Wrench: I believe that AFR doors would work Monty CZ

It is not supposed to be stealthy because of those two biiiggg props, I only tried to use the design similar to the Predators or Reapers (UAVs). Size of the rudders and stabs is similar to the XF5U ones and I read that it was very effective thanks to the constant propwash even on slow speed. And the role for that plane? CAS, LGB delivery (all future munition would be smart wouldnt it?), RECON/Armed Recon...etc. Dont know if aerial refueling would be possible with this configuration :-) Monty CZ

I wanted to offer you the source file but then I realized that you already have it. Looong life to Yaks :-) Monty CZ

Hello all, I hope there is no problem to write in english because I dont have keybord with "azbuka" instaled. I would like to ask you something from real life. My company is going to prepare construction development project near Moscow - block of flats and they wanted me to manage it. I dont know anything about economics situation, but I see here in Czech republic that we dont have any sales and market is simply suspended. What is your personal point of view in this case? Thanx for answers MontyCZ

Hello guys, I really appreciate your nomination and responses to my mods, but I feel it the same way as Dave. All mods are good and be happy, that we have them. The most important thing should be, to let another people (out of this community) know, that we have them and they are good. I feel like sim world thinks, that Strike Fighters is an action title and not the simulator, where the flight model could be as good as i X plane. So lets start to compare add on planes between different simulators instead :-) Monty CZ
