'What if' KAW Hawker Hunter F.1 with Campiagn
dtmdragon posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
File Name: 'What if' KAW Hawker Hunter F.1 with Campiagn File Submitter: dtmdragon File Submitted: 02 March 2015 File Category: What If Hangar 'What if' KAW Hawker Hunter F.1A & F.1B with campiagn 1.0 The back story: In order to meet the Mig-15 threat over Korea and with no capable fighters currently in the RAF inventory the British Ministry of Supply instructs Hawker Aviation to undertake a crash production program of its P.1067 fighter. Project ‘Huntsman’. In less than a year since the prototype flew and two years ahead of schedule the Hawker Hunter is deployed to the Korean Theatre in early 1952. Since the Hunter F.1 designation was already assigned to the first full production Hunters due into service in 1954, the Hunters produced under program ‘Huntsman’ are (unusually) designated Hunter F.1A These aircraft are basically identical to the future production Hunter F.1 the most obvious difference being that they are finished in High Speed Silver. However the lack of paint means these Hunters are 21 Mph faster and 53Kg lighter than the full production F.1 Hunters. Operations over Korea immediately highlighted the Hunters inherent shortcomings. Of most concern was its lack of fuel and endurance with barely an hour’s flight time. Also of concern was the damage done to the fuselage caused by the ejection of spent cartridge links. These concerns (among others) would be addressed in time by future models of the Hunter, but in the skies of Korea in 1952 the lack of range and endurance had to be immediately mitigated. And thus the Hunter F.1B is born with the addition of wing mounted drop tanks installed in theatre. What's in it: - Hawker Hunter F.1A - Hawker Hunter F.1B - Various RAF 43 and 222 Squadron Skins in Camo and High Speed Silver. - NOTE: The camo skins are included as a bonus but the aircraft data.ini files are set up to reflect the high speed silver skins as I have included the weight reduction and increased speed that comes without using camo paint. I found the figures I used in an article about the trial OD green Sabres in Korea. - sounds - pilot - Modified Korea Campaign using the Hunters. This will not change the original campaign in any way, you will see an additional campaign called 'Korean War Hunters Over Korea' that you can select. Missions will be similar to the Sabre, No 43 Squadron is based at Suwon AB (K-13) and No. 222 Squadron at Kimpo AB (K-14). - NOTE: this mod can be added to the Wings Over Korea mod without any change what so ever to the original game play. You will never see these Hunters show up over Korea unless you play the above included campaign or start a single mission with a Hunter. Operations: - canopy open key=10 automatic closing at take off To Install: - Designed to be used with the Wings Over Korea mod but should work without it. - Put everything in you main StrikeFighters2 KAW mods folder - Get the Wings Over Korea mod here: http://combatace.com/files/file/15221-wings-over-korea-1-of-2/ http://combatace.com/files/file/15220-wings-over-korea-2-of-2/ Credits: - Third Wire - Paulopanz Hunter F.1 Skins & Edits for SF2 - Sundowner Hunter F6 Templates. - Do335 Wings Over Korea - Evryone else in the WOK/ KAW team Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms.

Double HD crash! Could be the end of SF2 for me :-(
dtmdragon posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
I keep all my SF2 mods folders on an external HD that is permanently connected to my PC. Yesterday when I was backing up that external HD to my back up external HD they both crashed and have been corrupted! 5 years of collecting mods and making my own gone! And worse so have 8 years of family photos! They are both with a work mate who has his own IT business on the side. Unfortunately the news so far is the first 4 pieces of recovery software he has tried have failed :-(
