Get it here at BioHaz : ========================================================= North Korean Peoples Air Force MiG-23ML Flogger-G ( Rebuilt MiG-23MF ) Version v0.92c -------------------------------------------------------- Installation: 1. Drop the folder called "MiG-23ML(NK)"into your "Aircraft" directory. [ C:\Program Files\Strategy First\Strike Fighters\Objects\Aircraft ] Those that have SFP1 Gold or Valuesoft Editions, replace the \Strategy First\ with the correct folder 2. You should have the following already installed : ( Serice Pack #3 may be downloaded at http://www.biohazcentral.com and other places as well ) A. SFP1 Service Pack #1 b. SFP1 Service Pack #2 c. SFP1 Service Pack #3 d. The most current SFP1 Weapons Pack ( Available from : http://www.max-gs.com/adave/weaponsdev/ ) NOTE: If you have not already done so, you should have the following website bookmarked. It will make your Strike Fighters Experience much more rewarding : http://www.sfmods.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=8&t=12 -------------------------------------------------------- A. This model represents The MiG-23ML Flogger-G ( Rebuilt MF ) version as operated to the North Koreans. Many of the NKAF's MiG-23MLs were rebuilt from their existing MiG-23MF/MS with Soviet/Russian assistance. This is the version here. North Korea operated only a handful of MiG-23MF & MiG-23MS until Mikhail Gorbachov, in the last days of the Soviet Union, gave them access to more advanced weaponry. North Korea is believed to have in excess of 48+ MiG-23MLs. Half of them are rebuilds with the larger dorsal fin shown here. B. The MiG-23ML uses the Sapfir-23ML "High Lark 2" radar and the Soyuz/Khachaturov R-35F-300 engine. This gives the North Koreans a more potent aircraft as opposed to earlier Floggers. NKAF Flogger-Gs are equipped to carry Chinese air to air missiles as well as the more modern AA-11s. As far as in known ( and they are a secretive lot ), NKAF Floggers are organized into three squadrons of the 60th Air Regiment, 1st Air Combat Division. This Division also includes the NKAF's small force of MiG-29s. C. NKAF aircraft until recently used either silver or white/light grey skins. They appear to be rediscovering the art of camoflage as evidenced by a rather bad photo of one of their MiG-29s. Note that due to their secretive nature, unclassified photos of NKAF aircraft are few and far between, and always of poor quality. The aircraft numbers here are a "Best Guess". NKAF appears to use two digit numbering when they only have enough of an aircraft type to form a single squadron. When they have more, they use three or four digit numbering. Note: The loading screen photo is of earlier NKAF MiG-23MS Flogger-E fighters, The clearest photo I could find. D. 1st Sqdn 60th Air Regiment skin by Ghostrider883, based on a Marcelo ( MarcFighters ) skin. Additional NKAF skins are being prepared by Phamtuan & will continue the numbering system presented in Ghost's 1st Sqdn 60th Air Regiment skin. E. Flogger Hangar Screen is by The Wrench ( THX Kevin ) F. Note that this aircraft includes a First Generation WP Chaff/Flare Dispenser. This entry in the data.ini will not work until Strike Fighters Service Pack 3 is installed. Thanks to Gramps for providing a F-18 SP3 compliant data.ini to study. ------------------------------------------------------- NOTES On Using Sapfir-23ML RADAR: 1. For the Sapfir-23ML radar, I went back to the best example to date in SFP1 of a Soviet Radar, Eruyi's Taifun radar for Boopidoo's SU-15F. This one will operate slightly differently from what you've been accustomed to. Hopefully Eruyi's work will lend itself to presenting a more "Soviet Feel" to this aircraft and thus to your enjoyment. I've adjusted the Search & Tracking ranges of the Sapfir-23ML to mesh with Eruyi's display data. However, for those who wish a more *normal* radar, I've included an "alt_MiG-23ML_AVIONICS.ini as well. Just move the MiG-23ML_AVIONICS.ini to another folder, and then remove the " alt_ " from the alt_MiG-23ML_AVIONICS.ini name. 2. For those interested in contemporary stablemates of the MiG-23, I highly recommend Boopidoo's Su-15A & SU-15F Flagons. These were the first non-stock Soviet/WP aircraft released for SFP1, and are still some of the best. Available from several sources, including MajorLee's. ------------------------------------------------------- NOTE1 : Some people report having CTD problems with earlier Flogger variants. While everyone's systems are different, some of the problems appear to be sound related. If you have CTD problems with this bird, try adjusting the in- game sound settings. Or try " Start >> Run >> dxdiag ", and then adjusting the 3D sound acceleration setting under the Sound Tab. ( Depending on which version of Windows you have, there can be up three separate Sound Tabs in DXDiag. Check to make sure the 3D Sound setting is the same in all three. You may also try moving the MiG-23M_shadow.SHD file to another folder & see if that improves performance. Check the Forums at SimHQ for the latest on troubleshooting. NOTE2 : This tweek also works on some systems ( CPU: 1GHz or better, GPU : 64 MB or better, RAM : 512 MB or more ) 1. Use the SFP1E .cat file extractor to extract your Flightdata config.ini from the Flightdata.cat file located in your Flight folder. 2. Make this change in the flightdata config.ini : [GraphicsSettings] ZBufferDepth=24 MaxVertexCount=8192 MaxIndexCount=16384 MaxTextureCount=8192 MaxModelType=2048 MaxMeshPerScene=1024 MaxModelPerScene=2048 MaxLightPerScene=512 AspectRatio=1.333333 MinPixelSize=1.0 ------------------------------------------------------- Special Thanks Goes To : 1.

Rather than delay release further, it is being released as a beta with version 0.90. Post any feedback in the SimHQ Strike Fighters forum. About the cockpit: Armourdave was kind enough to allow us to use his Su-17 cockpit, which is like the MiG-23 cockpit in many respects. One aspect that is different concerns the radar. The MiG-23 has a unique radar display which projects onto the HUD. Until the Flogger team has time to model this properly, it is suggested that you enable the radar screen in the upper right corner of your display. This is on by default, but if you have turned it off you will need to edit HUDdata.ini and turn it back on, or you will have no radar display. ------------ Installation ------------ Simply copy the MiG-23M folder to your \OBJECTS\AIRCRAFT folder. Then copy the files in the Pilot folder to \OBJECTS\AIRCRAFT and you are ready to fly. If you have already installed Pasko's Sukhoi interceptors, you already have the pilot installed. You should also have the latest weapons pack installed for the AA-7 missiles. -------------------------------------------------------

BUFF, is this the MiG-29A v0.9 RC? That's the most current release...

Second of three Blinder variants : Available at BioHaz & AVSIM ======================================== Tupelov Tu-22R Blinder-C Recon Bomber ======================================== Installation: 1. Drop the folder called "TU-22R"into your "Aircraft" directory. [ C:\Program Files\Strategy First\Strike Fighters\Objects\Aircraft ] Those that have SFP1 Gold or Valuesoft Editions, replace the \Strategy First\ with the correct folder 2.

It will make your Strike Fighters Experience much more rewarding : http://www.sfmods.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=8&t=12 ======================================== A. The Mod represents the Tu-22R Blinder-C Recon bomber in Soviet service. While first shown in public as early as 1961, These aircraft began to enter service in 1968. The Blinder-C is equipped with the same Rubin PN"Short Horn" radar and Serina 2 RWR as the Blinder-B. In addition to the wing mounted decoy dispensers, the Tu-22R had a third decoy dispenser mounted just after of the bomb bay, which was filled with 6 cameras and an early model Fasol SPS-5 noise jammer. Primary mission was Photo Recon. B. As of 2000, Blinders were still operated by Libya ( 5 out of 20 ), the Ukraine ( withdrawn in 2001 ), Iraq ( few out of 12 ), while the Russian aircraft were in storage awaiting dismantlement. ========================================= 1. Skins are sparce for the Blinders. Currently, only Pasko's Mostly Migs has a Tu-22 Desert Camo skin at http://home.earthlink.net/~pasko_patak/ TU-22R config.ini has the TextureSet data for Pasko's Desert Camo included. 4.

Now up at http://www.avsim.com/ and http://www.biohazcentral.com/ ======================================== Tupelov Tu-22K Blinder-B Missile Armed Bomber ======================================== Installation: 1. Drop the folder called "TU-22K"into your "Aircraft" directory. [ C:\Program Files\Strategy First\Strike Fighters\Objects\Aircraft ] Those that have SFP1 Gold or Valuesoft Editions, replace the \Strategy First\ with the correct folder 2. You should have the following already installed : A. SFP1 Service Pack #1 b. SFP1 Service Pack #2 c. SFP1 Service Pack #3 ( when released ) D. The most current SFP1 Weapons Pack ( Available from : http://www.max-gs.com/adave/weaponsdev/ ) NOTE: If you have not already done so, you should have the following website bookmarked. It will make your Strike Fighters Experience much more rewarding : http://www.sfmods.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=8&t=12 ======================================== A. The Mod represents the Tu-22K Blinder-B AS-4 armed bomber in Soviet service. While first shown in public as early as 1961, These aircraft were not in full operational service until early 1968. The Blinders used the Rubin PN"Short Horn" radar and Serina 2 RWR for detection & terrain mapping purposes. The rear gun turret was equipped with the NATO reporting named "Bee Hind" Ranging Radar. The Blinder-Bs also had flare dispensers located in the wing gearwells. B. This mod is based on Pasko's earlier AS-4 mod for the stock Tu-22 Blinder. I have researched the Blinder-B specs, and updated the radar and engine specs in accordance with the data in "Jane's All The World's Aircraft 1993-1994", and "Jane's Aircraft Upgrades 2002-2003". In anticipation of SFP1 Service Pak #3, I have also included wing flare dispensers. Note: these won't work ubtil you have SP3 installed. As far as is currently known, the Blinder-B did not originally carry a ECM jammer. C. As of 2000, Blinders were still operated by Libya ( 5 out of 20 ), the Ukraine ( withdrawn in 2001 ), Iraq ( few out of 12 ), while the Russian aircraft were in storage awaiting dismantlement. ========================================= 1. Special thanks to Pasko for permission to use his AS-4 Blinder mod. 2. Due to the fact Cargo ships do not have radars in SFP1, you may find that your missiles will not work against targets without radars. Until such time as a Cargo Ship mod with radar is introduced,use the SFP1 weapons editor to change the AS-4 guidance system from "Anti Radiation" to "TV Homing", also check "Optical Backup". This should enable to engage cargo ships in Single Mission anti ship situations. 3. Skins are sparce for the Blinders. Currently, only Pasko's Mostly Migs has a Tu-22 Desert Camo skin at http://home.earthlink.net/~pasko_patak/ TU-22K config.ini has the TextureSet data for Pasko's Desert Camo included. 4. Thanks to Eruyi for his original RP-21 MiG Radar.tga 5. Blinder Hangarscreen by "The Wrench", Thanks Kevin. 6.

Same for MajorLee & C-5, you guys don't have to ask... NOTE: Included inside the TU-22K folder is a small zipfile that contains Pasko's original mod. Open this in a separate folder if you wish to compare versions. Thanks again Pasko.

========================================================= Indian Air Force Type S-22 ( SU-7BMK ) Fitter-A -------------------------------------------------------- Installation: 1. Drop the folder called "Type S-22"into your "Aircraft" directory. [ C:\Program Files\Strategy First\Strike Fighters\Objects\Aircraft ] 2. You should have the following already installed : A. SFP1 Service Pack #1 b. SFP1 Service Pack #2 c. The most current SFP1 Weapons Pack ( Available from : http://www.max-gs.com/adave/weaponsdev/ ) NOTE: If you have not already done so, you should have the following website bookmarked. It will make your Strike Fighters Experience much more rewarding : http://www.sfmods.com/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=8&t=12 -------------------------------------------------------- A. This model represents the Sukhoi SU-7BMK Fitter-A, known locally as the Type S-22, in service with the Indian Air Force from 1968 until replaced the the Type 95 ( MiG-21bis Fishbed-L ) in 1986. The Type S-22s fought in the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War. B. The SU-7 series were equipped with the Kvant SRD-5 "High Fix" Ranging Radar and the Serina 3 Radar Warning Reciever. We owe The Wrench special thanks for coming up with a satisfactory work around for getting the RWR to work without displaying a radar screen. Those who've DL'ed the NKAF SU-7BMK may wish to copy the SU-7_AVIONICS.ini included here for that plane as well. C. 101 Sqdn skin by Ghostrider883. 222 Sqdn skin by Marcelo, Sqdn insig & numbers decals by Ghostrider883. 32 Sqdn skin by Marcelo, Sqdn number decals by Ghostrider883. D. 32 Sqdn produced one of the more memorable Fitter skins with it's Shark Mouth skin.Sqdn now uses Type 95 MiGs. 101 Sqdn ( Motto: Search And Destroy ) is in the skin it used during the 1971 War as a Photo/Recon Unit. Sqdn now uses Type 95. 222 Sqdn ( Motto: Destroyer Of Evil ) also fought in the 1971 War & now uses the MiG-27ML "Bahadur". Note : the only Sqdn Insignia we could find for this Sqdn was a Unit Insignia showing a MiG-27. This is the crest used on the skin. ------------------------------------------------------- Special Thanks Goes To : 1. Armourdave for permission to use his SU-17 cockpit. 2. The Wrench for his Fitter Hangarscreen, Open Canopy Mod, and Serina-3 RWR solution. 3. Ghostrider883 for decal technical assistance, and Indian Air Force background information. 4.

Enjoy! Bob *howling1* Hauser ========================================================= Get it at www.avsim.com/ in the File Library... ( As usual, C-5, Ken, MadJeff, Sony, feel free to mirror... )

Thanks Slickwili, pass on to MJ, when it comes to my stuff over at AVSIM he's free to mirror anytime. That includes the Flogger Mods, The IAF v1.5 Pack, The F-7/J-7 v1.5 Pack, the NKAF SU-7BMK, & others. Jeff does not need to ask. Consider it a return on the support MJ gave the SFP1 community in the early days of Strike Fighters...

No biggie Wolf, You shoulda seen where some of my first Uploads over there ended up... Generally Skins go in the SFP1 Repaints section & everything else in the SFP1 Mods, Utilities, & Patches section... BTW, Check the Mystere IVA threads over at SimHQ...

As long as he got it BUFF, that's the main thing. :D

Did you DL it OK?

Mad Mike, The Ki-43 *IS* at Avsim. However it was uploaded to the wrong section of the File Library, so getting it is a bit tricky : 1) Click on Avsim's File Library. 2) Click on What's New. 3) When the screen comes up, reset to Scan Mode. This saves you a bunch of hunting. 4) When you find it, you will notice that it was uploaded to "Strike Fighters Project 1" instead of "Strike Fighters Project1 : Mods, Utilities, & Patchs". 5) You will see two buttons in the Ki-43 line, "View" & "Get". Ingnore "View" and click on "Get". 6) You should now get a window asking whether you want to Open or Save the File. If you're using IE, click "Save". It should now download for you...

The only word out so far is a target release date in October. Prolly October 31st with our luck...

Israeli Mirage IIICJ has also been released by the Mirage Team as well. Available at Column 5's & Check-Six...

I did the same thing awhile back. What I ended up doing was deleting the Weapons folder, re-installed the Weapons pack, & then made darn sure I clicked the right button when I saved it... :ph34r:

I check things out from time to time...

The Dornier Do-17Z-2 is now available at : http://www.groundcrewdesign.com/

From the looks of it, that particular skin's decal.ini is messed up. Track down the oversized decal's entry and change the size setting to : Scale=1.0 That should help tremendously...

Question MJ, wasn't there a second AURI MiG skin at one time?
