Badger Condor

View File [Fictional] Tu-16 'Badger A' Fuerza Aérea Argentina Tupolev Tu-16 'Badger-A' for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a very simple mod of the stock AI Third Wire Tu-16 to give a flyable (and fictional) Tu-16 in service with the Fuerza Aérea Argentina with markings for Grupo 1 (grey) and Grupo 2 (silver) in the 1960's to early 1980's era. COCKPIT There is not really a totally suitable pit for this aircraft so I've decided not to include one but you will be sat in the right place (offset to port) and you will have a gun sight and a ground mapping radar. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Tu-16_FAA folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Tu-16_FAA folder into your Decals folder. That's it! FLYING THE BADGER It's so easy to scrape the tail when taking off so let the Badger 'auto take-off' by setting flaps and full power, release the brakes and the nose will lift at 260kmh and it will lift off the runway soon after. I've had good results by releasing my bombs at 10km away from the target whilst at 6,000m altitude but the Badger will happily cruise at 9,000m and at that height you should release your bombs at about 12km away from the target or just a bit more. Remember that the Badger has a fixed forward-firing 23mm cannon so if your bombs miss the fuel tank then get down nice and low and take it out that way! To help you land the Badger I've added fake airbrakes which will slow you down enough so it's just a matter of lining up the runway from a fair old distance and making a nice 'greaser' of a landing. It does sometimes help to push the stick forward to overcome the bounciness of the landing gear. CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community. Regards Spinners Version 2 - October 28th, 2023 Submitter Spinners Submitted 09/04/2010 Category What If Hangar  

View File Parani Skin for the J-20 Chinese Stealth Fighter Uploaded as a request by my mate Canadair, this is a simple mod of the skin that comes with the superb J-20 Chinese Stealth Fighter recently released by 'The Insky Group'. All I've done is toned down the white walkway markings and added Parani decals. I think you'll need WOI for the stock 'ARABIC3WHITE' decals. Hopefully, I've got the decal pathway correct, forgive me if I haven't but I don't normally upload skins and I'm a stranger over here in the SF1 section. Well done to The Insky Group. More please!

Sorry Dave, my post above yours comes under the category of 'British sense of humour'. Carry on.

Are you feeling alright Dave?

LOL. I'll sort out an upload of the skin. 'Bout time I uploaded something in the SF1 section.

And I'm looking forward to that too! If you can get hold of it, read the F-100 chapter in Bill Gunston's 'Early Supersonic Fighters of the West' - a brilliant read.

Sensible question, realistic answer. IMHO I don't think they (SF1/SF2) should have seperated in the first place. It just seems to perpetuate the myth that there is a magic barrier that prevents stuff working between SF1 and SF2.

This forthcoming expansion pack should be labelled 'British Expansion Pack' - lol.

LOL, no thanks. I'm a Cold War dinosaur. I have knocked up a simple SF2 conversion of the PL-13 missile however and it should be in the 'Single Ordnance' section.

Very nice! Congratulations to all concerned.

Fairchild Provider C.2 - No.48 Squadron, RAF South East Asia Command, 1967

Excellent.

Ah yes, I remember telling TK about that and, sure enough, both of those were corrected in a patch. The F-4M's in a patched SF2E (or a new download) are perfect.

I'm not sure but the excellent Third Wire F-4M bitmaps can be manipulated so as to fit 'other shape' Phantoms.

Interesting. So does it resize for you or just prevent 'larger than' from appearing?

4096 x 4096 is overkill IMHO. Can you re-size them?
