View File Fictional ‘What if’ Royal New Zealand Air Force A-7 Corsair II Skins Fictional ‘What if’ Royal New Zealand Air Force A-7 Corsair II Skins As requested in MAKO69’s topic (http://combatace.com/topic/82082-a-lot-of-what-if-ideas-for-the-moders/?do=findComment&comment=658905) here are my RNZAF A-7 re-skins. Fact: When the New Zealand Government selected the A-4K Skyhawk for the RNZAF in the late 60’s/ early 70’s the A-7 Corsair II was on the Air Force’s short list along with the F-4 and F-111. A modernised version of the A-7 was again considered in the late 80’s as an alternative to upgrading the RNZAF Skyhawks. You will need the stock Third Wire A-7D and A-7E_74 as well as the Mirage Factory A-7D_84 and A-7K_MF Instillation: As usual simply drop into your mods folder and allow it to override when prompted, none of the aircraft files will be changed just the skins added.

Already way ahead of you!

Time to start sweet talking EricJ! lol

I’ve tried the Aussie DLC A-4G in Vietnam which is pretty much the same any other A-4 unless you try and take it up north where it takes a hammering from SAMs due to its lack of ECM or RWR. Another one I’ve had a lot of fun with it the DLC RNZAF A-4K in the 1979 Red Lightning campaign (I also use it in my NATO fighters mod campaigns), but again watch out because that lack of RWR is a bitch! - But it makes for a challenging fight.

The SLPowerDry= figure is in newtons so how do we convert the HP or kw into newtons?

Hay guys, How do you convert prop engine Horse Power or Kilowatt figures into a SLPowerDry= figure for SF2 Prop aircraft? Cheers, Dan.

Nice work! Do you guys plan on doing the upgraded Spanish F-1M model?

Thanks guys

Hay guys, my AGM-154 JSOW's seem to just fly straight and level forever when I try and use them, they very very rarely hit the target or even head towards it. Does someone have some working versions that they don't mind sharing or point me in the right direction to fix them? Thanks, Dan.

Strike Fighters 2 Israel plus either Strike Fighters 2 or Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam are required A-4N Ahit - Specific model Skyhawk for Israel based on the A-4M with deliveries starting in 1972. The A-4N has the more powerful J52-P-408A Engine, larger canopy, HUD and an advanced weapons delivery/ Nav system. A-4N Ahit (78) - RWR upgraded A-4N Ahit (84) - Additional external antenna on the avionics hump and nose of the aircraft are installed. A-4N Ahit Pave Penny/ LGB - In 1984 some A-4N have their radars replaced with the AN/AAS-35(V) Pave Penny Laser spot tracker and are given the ability to drop GBU-12 and Israeli Griffin laser guided bombs. A-4N Ahit Pave Penny/ LGB (84) - Additional external antenna on the avionics hump and nose of the aircraft are installed. A-4N Improved Ahit (Sibat) - Major upgrade of the A-4N in 2005 with a modernised glass cockpit, updated HUD symbology (from the F-16), addition of a Ring Laser Gyro Nav System, plus new Mission and Fire Control Unit. A-4N Skyhawk ATSI (Desert) - A-4N Ahit (84) Operated but the private company Advanced Training Systems International in the Aggressor role. IAF desert camo. A-4N Skyhawk ATSI (Grey) - A-4N Ahit (84) Operated but the private company Advanced Training Systems International in the Aggressor role. Two tone grey camo I have included modified Yom Kippur and Lebanon War campaigns edited to include the A-4N as it was very active in both wars. You will need to have installed my Third Wire A-4E/H/F Ahit upgrade/ Enhancement for SF2 1.0 for the modified campaigns to work correctly. http://combatace.com/files/file/14397-third-wire-a-4ehf-ahit-upgrade-enhancement-for-sf2/ Gameplay notes: - Cockpits are stand-ins however all the HUD displays, radar displays, RWR displays are correct. - To give the A-4N Ahit Pave Penny/ LGB the ability to use Laser Guided Bombs in the CAS role I created a ghost LP weapon station that can be loaded with a 'Shaldag FAC Laser Designation Team' which is the real life IAF special forces team that designated targets for the A-4N. If you don’t like the way it works just delete it from the weapons folder and stick to dumb bombs for everything except strike missions.

Hay guys I'm after Falcon 4.0 (not Falcon 4.0 Allied Force) to use with the BMS 4.32 mod. Shipping would be to New Zealand. Cheers, Dan.

OH NO! I got Falcon 4.0 Allied Force and only just realised you have to have the earlier Falcon 4.0 for BMS! I guess that is why the earlier game is a whole lot more expensive than the later Allied Force on ebay and Amazon

The talent and contribution to this game by people on this forum still astounds me, you guys should be getting paid good money for what you do! Strike Fighters would be long gone and forgotten otherwise. Well done!

Cheers. They dont seem to sell a direct download version so I have to wait for a hard copy from the states

Ok guys, thanks for the replies, I’ve decided to give Falcon 4.0 a go. Where do I get the BMS mod from? Is there any other mods/ patches I should get to start with as well? Also are there any OEF or OIF campaigns’? And finally does it work on windows vista? Cheers guys

That being said I'm thinking 0.1 for the Have Glass painted aircraft? Or would half the RCS from just a 'special' paint job be to high?

I see your point and checked the stock F-16A Netz data.ini file and it has a BaseRCSModifier value of 0.2 so going by that every add on viper needs it added to its data.ini!

I was thinking that since Dave has released a set of viper skins in the new Have Glass II (or V depending on what forum you read) RCS reducing paint that we could probable have a separate F-16CM Block 50 aircraft with the skins and a corresponding BaseRCSModifier vale to represent the effect of the paint. Information on the paint is very thin as you can imagine so does anyone here have any thoughts on what BaseRCSModifier value might fit? Without any better information I was going to use the Super Hornet’s BaseRCSModifier value of 0.9? http://combatace.com/files/file/13379-have-glass-2-for-team-viper-f-16cm-b50/

Does anyone have a working Nike SAM? I can't get it to fire at anything for the life of me!
