not saying it cant be done, i just dont recall ever seeing a centerline only loaded with a TER. sort of makes sense that if youre gonna give up 600 gallons of fuel, you'd carry max ordinance there

Combat Cessna's part 1: The O-2A Skymaster in USAF Service
Combat Cessna's part 1: The O-2A Skymaster in USAF Service
This mod highlights the Oscar Deuce. The Push Me Pull You. officially Known as the O-2A Skymaster. After its service in Vietnam the O-2A continued FAC duties and training, both around the world and at home in CONUS. Starting in 1970 several Air National Guard units also operated the O-2A, with the NY ANG being the last to operate them when the 137th TASS (not included) converted to the C-5 Galaxy.
Included
v2k's original model
revamped skins
new uncovered LAU-32 smoke rocket pods
updated inis
Installation
unzip, add contents of "2 mod folder" to install of your choice. allow overwritesNote
This mod does not include 4 of the ANG units that operated the Skymaster due to lack of information on aircraft assigned. Likewise, the 23rd and 27th TASS's were combined into the 602nd TACW because of lack of definitive assignment (both squadrons operated red stripes, with one other color in each squadron). Several serial numbers in units that are represented are best guesses based on AMARC delivery dates or nation sold to from USAF stock.
Also, while the ability to carry gun pods, bombs and rockets is retained, this was meant to be an O_bservation aircraft. For gameplay sake several mission sets are added. But this little aircraft honestly wasn't meant for any of them.
LAST NOTE: yes that x is supposed to be there. think of it as a grease pencil gunsight for aiming the rocketsCredits

Combat Cessna's part 2: The O-2A Skymaster Other Users
This mod highlights the Oscar Deuce. The Push Me Pull You. officially Known as the O-2A Skymaster In addition to its service with the USAF the O-2 served with several other air arms including the South Korean Air Force, South Vietnamese Air Force, the US Army's Berlin Aviation Detachment, and the US Navy's VFA-125.
Included
v2k's original model
revamped skins
new uncovered LAU-32 smoke rocket pods
updated inis
Installation
unzip, add contents of "2 mod folder" to install of your choice. allow overwritesNote
The mod makes a best educated guess in regards to RoKAF and VNAF serials and unit markings. Clear, in service pics are scarce. VNAF serials are derived from Joe Baugher's site. RoKAF serials are derived from both Joe Baugher and prior 19th TASS aircraft (believed to be sold to South Korea rather than pay to ship stateside)
Also, while the ability to carry gun pods, bombs and rockets is retained, this was meant to be an O_bservation aircraft. For gameplay sake several mission sets are added. But this little aircraft honestly wasn't meant for any of them.

OV-10A Bronco: The USAF's Mud fighter
OV-10A Bronco: The USAF's Mud fighter
This mod highlights the OV-10A Bronco in post Vietnam service. The Bronco continued to serve with active duty units until its retirement in 1991. This capable forward air controller never went to the Air Guard or Reserves like its counterparts the O-2A or OA-37B, but served with TAC, USAFE and PACAF until the end of the Cold WarIncluded
Sundowners original model, slightly adjusted
revamped skins
new uncovered LAU-32 smoke rocket pods
updated inisNOTE 1
This is Sundowners model. No re-release is authorized without consent from both of us. Sundowner is no longer part of the free use agreement, and while I am, my adding onto his work makes this mod not a part of the free use agreement as well.

While the primary RL Mission of this aircraft was forward air control, that mission set is not present in SF2. So i have left or added mission sets for increased gameplay (CAP not being an original mission!)
While the ability to carry gun pods, bombs, Sidewinders and rockets is retained, this was meant to be an O_bservation aircraft. For gameplay sake several mission sets are present. But this little aircraft honestly wasn't meant for any of them.

well, to keep in weight limits maybe a B57

part 2 on this weekend.
the first is a revised model by Sundowner (huge thanks again!), with new smoke rocketpods by ravenclaw_007 (also a million thank you's) and some skin and ini work by yours truly
this second one is just a skin and needs Sundowner's model from his 68-73 release that covers the USAF, USMC, and USN. this skin just removes serial numbers from skin and gives about 20 options via decals instead.

this being a family site, I can't really say that they're c*nts.
Betty White said one of the great things about getting older was she could say what ever she wanted and get away with it as "grandma being grandma"
so embrace the Ancient One identity, and tell us how you really feel about them.
or upload a Richard Prior/George Carlin mash up video. that might have less swearing

if you were to log on with your phone and set up an account, he has a lot harder time tracking that than through any regular ISP.
just claim to be a college student and say "the campus says their site is violent, and wont allow them access through the free wifi"
after that, just be smart and DL one file a day or less.
note: my old signature used to have the achievement unlocked logo Wrench has, but with VOL.2 superimposed. lost it in a site update, just waiting until i get banished again to add VOL 3

Civil Sabres: CL-13s of Flight Systems Incorporated
Civil Sabres: CL-13s of Flight Systems Incorporated
This mod highlights the target tugs of Flight Systems Incorporated (FSI). FSI provided target dart towing services for various 12th Air Force units west of the Mississippi River in the late 1970s through late 1980s. They also had a detachment operating out of Kadena AB and providing the same service for Japan and Korea based units. This mod also include a bare metal skin without Tracor marking for anyone that wants to try their hand at skinning some warbirds. Many of the Sabres on the airshow circuit have been and still are Canadair rather than North AmericanIncluded
new aircraft via ini edit (but with Mk6 Sabre models and skin templates
4 skins (2 white and 2 bare metal), tgas for FSI aircraft,Installation
unzip, add contents of "2 mod folder" to install of your choiceNote
As a "civil" aircraft I took most of the offensive capability off this aircraft. Gun ammo dropped to zero, rocket pod stations removed. The real life aircraft pulled a target dart through the sky to be shot at. For in game, you play the part of the rabbit, aiming to overfly a point on the map without being shot down.
But I did leave the bomb and Sidewinder stations on. I figure the Kadena birds might have had a point defense commitment if the balloon had gone up, and the ability to carry two M117s and drop is still fun. But this aircraft was not meant for combat action IRL or in game. It is not my responsibility if you get shot down in game because you forgot this isn't the Yalu in 1953!!!Credits
Zurawski - pit
ravenclaw_007 - model and skin temps. see below for original Mk 6 readme as pulled from Combatace.com
daddyairplanes - skins, research, tgas, ini work, adjusted CL13Bs fake pilot to fit white civil aircraft rather than camo mil jets

well, if you change your mind, thats the beauty of SF2. it can be tinkered with seven ways to Sunday
for those watching since the show began (and those just getting started), we are pretty supportive of folks trying to learn all the different aspects of modding and helping you to figure out issues as you go along

not gonna lie, its literally about that stipend check, and using a bennie Uncle Sam owes me anyhow before its expired (post 911 expires 15 years after you last leave active duty)
as im going through it, massive studio layoffs, tendencies to either have the 3d modeler make the texures or have AI do it , and me being in spittin distance of my 50th bday when i graduate have it stacked against me for this being useful in industry job status. but it has given me new ideas on other things to do.
plus the 2200 a month stipend sees me through any hardships about the classes
