McDonnell Douglas CF-18 Hornet View File McDonnell Douglas CF-18 Hornet Package for SF2 1.1 Package for SF2 (Includes aircraft upgraded under the two phases of the Incremental Modernization Project) UPDATED 1.1 Updates: - Skin pack added to make a total of 9 different skins that cover the change in markings over the years as well as squadrons that have been activated and disbanded etc. Plus a few special/ anniversary skins. - Additional 'CF-18 Hornet IMP Phase II Operation 'Mobile' Lybia 2011' Aircraft with with loadouts, markings and a pilot skin specific to the campaign. - LoadOut.ini files and weapons updated. - Improved Bird slicer IFF aerials. This package contains three separate year specific aircraft to cover the original aircraft and the upgrades it received in latter years as part of the Incremental Modernization Project: ‘CF-18 Hornet’ is the initial aircraft and covers the period from delivery till 2006. ‘CF-18 Hornet IMP Phase I (03)’ the AN/APG-65 radar is replaced with the AN/APG-73 radar, the AN/APX-111 IFF is added, as is ability to use JDAMs and AMRAAMs. This covers the period from 2003 to 2007 ‘CF-18 Hornet IMP Phase II (07)’ this includes the integration of the Joint Hemet Mounted Cuing System, the ability to carry the Sniper XR targeting pod and an upgrade to the aircrafts ECM jammers. This aircraft covers the period from 2007 till 2017+. There are overlaps in the operational dates due to the time each upgrade program took to do the entire fleet. You can use the single mission editor to select a Laser Guided Bomb Attack loadout or the Mixed LGB/AMRAAM loadout used over Libya. I have used the Mirage Factory CF-18 from the SF2 NATO Fighters 4+ Mod as the base for this Mod. Also includes is an extensive rwr.lst file and library Instillation: Simply un zip and drop the contents into any SF2 series Mod Folder, make sure you override when prompted.

Here you go http://combatace.com/files/file/12550-mcdonnell-douglas-cf-18-hornet-package-for-sf2-includes-aircraft-upgraded-under-the-two-phases-of-the-incremental-modernization-project/ (just waiting for it to be approved...)

You might want to consider creating some year specific aircraft to include the modernisation programs the CF-188 went through in recent years. Personally I have split it into three separate aircraft: ‘AircraftFullName=CF-18 Hornet’ -which is the initial aircraft and covers the period from delivery up till 2006. ‘AircraftFullName=CF-18 Hornet IMP Phase I (03)’ -Which replaces the AN/APG-65 radar with the AN/APG-73 radar (you can use the avionics from the 'C' model Hornet for this), ability to use JDAMs and AMRAAMs. This covers the period from 2003 to 2007 ‘AircraftFullName=CF-18 Hornet IMP Phase II (07)’ – Integration of the Joint Hemet Mounted Cuing System, ability to carry the Sniper XR targeting pod and an upgrade of the aircrafts ECM jammers. This aircraft covers the period from 2007 till 2017+. There are overlaps in the operational dates due to the time each upgrade program took to do the entire fleet of hornets. If you interested in including these later upgraded versions let me know and I’ll email a copy of mine to you. The mod I used as the base for all these versions is the CF-18 that came with the SF2 NATO fighters mod. CF-18 Hornet IMP Phase II (07) Over Lybia in 2011:

It’s all ready to be released but unfortunately an updated Mirage Factory F-16A Block 15 OCU model is in the works so I've been asked not to release this until they’ve released the new model sorry. Here is the above tail art on an operational aircraft:

Please stop teasing up with all these beautiful ‘D’ and ‘I’ model Vipers! Release! Release! Release! lol

...... And with Maori Warrior tail art:

RNZAF Aggressor F-16AM Block 15 OCU over Queenstown, Skin is based on the Indonesian F-16 camo

The radar backgrounds did more than just give it a worn look, they changed the whole look and shape to what it should be for the DSCG system but it's up to you. I haven't been able to fix the other issues unfortunately...

Here is the mod updated to SF2 standards for you to test. In the read me is says he wasn't able to deactivate the lookdown shootdown capability of the radar but from what I can figure out from the net this radar had a limited lookdown ability anyway? EDIT: Still trying to figure out a way to get the roll tabs on the gun sight to show up with an air-to-air missile or air-to-ground weapon selected.... F-4E_Kurnass_73.7z

I wouldn't mind having a crack at it, personally I find the Kurnass one of the most SF2 aircraft interesting to fly. Do you have any reference info, details or web sites about the Digital Scan Converter Group radar scope and AN/APQ-120 as they were used on the Kurnass?

Thanks mate

Does anyone know of or have a Desert Storm skin for the AV-8 Harrier? http://hobbymastercollector.com/files/HA2614-1FP.jpg Cheers, DAn.

Nice work! I must admit I've had the A-10C from your 'War for Israel' mod in my main SF2 install since you released it. Just one thought with this new mod; I noticed you made the Litening and Sniper pods station specific weapons so people wont be able to use the pods on any of their other add on aircraft if they install the ones that come with this mod and over ride the previous weapons. It might pay to make renamed A-10 specific Litening and Sniper pods, or remove the station specific line from the pods and the A-10C weapon stations that use them- just a thought.... Cheers Dan.

I like the apache skins!

Comes with Spectre8750's F-14A,A+, B and D V1.12 Hoffix http://combatace.com/files/file/12329-f-14a-a-b-and-d-v112-hotfix/

Here is an update approved by Paulopanz that adds a fuselage missile station for the Blue Steel nuclear missile. Included is the Blue Steel missile which you will need as it is a station specific weapon. Just un-zip and drop into your mods folder and let it over-ride the old data.ini files. Cheers, Dan.
