  1. The modified cockpit (some parts repainted etc) I chose so far for it. I will also include a custom version of the plane with personal settings (textures, decals, engine visual effects etc), as the ones you see in these pictures.
  2. I have them but as you pointed out new HiRes skins are required.
  3. By the way, does anyone, please, have any Soviet/Russian LASER targeting pod , except the Projector which is old ? I couldn't find one and the person who made Russian weapons packs , in the past, I wasn't able to reach him, unfortunately. I would appreciate a little help here. Thank you.
  4. If we have a specialist in Russian weapons maybe he could be... aham!...persuaded to build , for the YAK-130, the superb 9K121 Vikhr laser guided missile. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9K121_Vikhr)
  5. YAK-130 (NATO code name MITTEN) The Yak-130 combat trainer was selected as the winner of the trainer competition of the Voyenno Vozdushnyye Sily, Russian Federation Air Force, in April 2002. The aircraft is also actively marketed for export by Yakovlev, the Irkut company, and by Rosoboronexport. The Yak-130 combat trainer was selected as the winner of the trainer competition of the Voyenno Vozdushnyye Sily, Russian Federation Air Force, in April 2002. The aircraft is also actively marketed for export by Yakovlev, the Irkut company, and by Rosoboronexport. The Russian Air Force has a future requirement for 300 Yak-130 aircraft that can be deployed as a light strike aircraft or as a trainer for a range of fourth or fifth-generation fighters. An order was placed for the first 12 aircraft to replace ageing Aero Vodochody L-39 Albatros in 2002. The aircraft entered service in the Russian Federation Air Force at the military pilot training academy in Krasnodar in July 2009 and was showcased in the MAKS 2009 air show.The production line for the aircraft at the Aviation Plant Sokol in Nizhny Novgorod, known as NAZ Sokol, is fully operational and the roll out of the first production series aircraft took place in May 2003. A series of flight tests of the serial production aircraft was started in April 2004. The Russian Air Force ordered official testing in May 2005. The full trials of the advanced combat trainer, including spin and combat tactics trials, were completed in December 2009 prior to delivery of the first two production aircraft to the Russian Air Force. The first Yak-130 ordered by the Russian Air Force completed its flight acceptance test at Sokol in August 2009. The Russian Air Force received the first four of 12 Yak-130s between February 2010 and April 2010. Another five aircraft were delivered in April 2011. In December 2011, the Russian Ministry of Defence placed an order with Irkut for the delivery of 55 Yak-130 combat trainers by 2015. The first batch of six aircraft was delivered to the Russian Air Force in October 2012. The second batch of three Yak-130s was delivered in November 2012. The aircraft deliveries were completed in early 2015. The Russian Air Force commenced pilot training operations of the new Yak-130 combat aircraft in April 2013, however a Yak-130 plane crashed near Akhtubinsk in the Astrakhan region in April 2014. The aircraft performed a flight with advanced digital avionics suite developed by KRET in June 2014. International orders and deliveries In March 2006, it was announced that Algeria had placed an order for 16 Yak-130 trainers. The first flight of the Yak-130 built for Algerian Air Force was completed in September 2009. In September 2011, the Algerian pilots were permitted to take solo flights on the aircraft after completion of three months theoretical and practical trainings. Deliveries were concluded in 2011. In January 2010, the Libyan Air Force ordered six Yak-130 aircraft. The Vietnamese Air Force ordered eight Yak-130 aircraft. In December 2010, the Kazakh Defence Minister signed an agreement with his Russian counterpart to use the Yak-130. In December 2012, the Belarusian Defence Ministry signed a contract with Irkut for four Yak-130 combat-trainers that were delivered in 2015. The Belarusian Air Force received four aircraft in 2016, while four more aircraft were delivered in May 2019. Bangladesh placed an order for 16 Yak-130s in January 2014. The Russian MoD placed an order for the supply of an additional 12 Yak-130 aircraft in February 2014. The delivery was completed in 2016. The Myanmar Air Force received three Yak-130 aircraft in late 2016, while six more trainers were delivered in December 2019. The Algerian Air Force operates 16 Yak-130 aircraft. A total of 36 Yak-130 aircraft were scheduled to be delivered to Syria by 2016 but the delivery was postponed due to the ongoing conflict in Syria. Vietnam signed a $350m deal for the purchase of 12 Yak-130s from Russia, in 2019. Yak-130 development A joint programme for trainer development between Yakovlev of Russia and Aermacchi of Italy began in 1993 and the Yak / AEM-130D demonstrator first flew in 1996. In 1999, the partnership was dissolved and the Yakovlev Yak-130 and the Aermacchi M346 became separate programmes. By the second quarter of 2003, the Yak-130 prototype had successfully completed 450 flights, including high-manoeuvrability flight demonstrations such as a controlled angle of attack of 42°. The Yak-130 completed the first stage of state joint tests in April 2009 which includes incorporating basic armaments. It arrived at Lipetsk Air Base in February 2010. The Yak-130 has a maximum g-loading of +8g to -3g and is capable of executing the flight manoeuvres specific to current operational and developmental combat aircraft, including Su-30, MiG-29, Mirage, F-15, F-16, Eurofighter, F-22 and F-35. Other variants of the Yak-130 considered included a navalised carrier-based trainer aircraft, a lightweight reconnaissance aircraft and an unmanned strike aircraft. Combat trainer design The Yak-130 production aircraft is slightly different from the Yak-130D demonstrator, with lower weight, a more rounded nose to accommodate a radar, a shorter fuselage length and a lower wing area. The Yak-130 is of classical swept-wing and empennage monoplane design and light alloy construction with carbon-fibre control surfaces. Kevlar armour protection is fitted to the engines, cockpit and avionics compartment. The moderately swept high-lift wing and the all-moving low-mounted tail plane allow the pilot to choose high angles of attack. For short airfield performance the aircraft is equipped with leading edge slats and three-position Fowler flaps. The Fowler flaps are split flaps which move rearward and then downward on tracks to give a large increase in lift and high lift and drag for landing manoeuvres. The airframe is designed for a 30-year service life with 10,000 hours flying time or 20,000 landings. The Yak 130 aircraft can be operated from unpaved runways and small unprepared airfields as the aircraft’s landing gear is designed with high take-off. A complex fly-by-wire control system installed enables the aircraft to feature automatic flight control system, active flight safety system, training stability and controllability characteristics. All-digital cockpit The aircraft has an air-conditioned and pressurised two-seat tandem cockpit fitted with NPO Zvezda K-36LT3.5 zero-zero ejection seats. The pilots have all-round view through a blister canopy. The forward pilot has a view over the nose to -16°. The rear pilot has a view to -6°. The production Yak-130 is the first Russian aircraft with an all-digital avionics suite. The avionics meets Mil Standard 1553 and can be adapted to the customer’s requirements. The aircraft has an all-glass cockpit. Both pilot positions are night vision goggle compatible and equipped with three multifunction 6in x 8in colour liquid crystal displays. The pilot in the forward cockpit can use the helmet-mounted sight for target designation. The cockpit is fitted with an MS internal and external communication and voice warning system supplied by AA.S. Popov GZAS joint stock company. The Avionica fly-by-wire flight control system is used to adjust the stability and controllability characteristics and flight safety systems to simulate a number of aircraft such as the MiG-29, Su-27, Su-30, F-15, F-16, F-18, Mirage 2000, Rafale, Typhoon and future fighters such as the F-35. The pilot selects the software model of the simulated aircraft’s control system on the Yak-130 on-board computer. The pilot can select the model during flight. The system can be forgiving to allow cadet pilots the easy acquisition of piloting skills. The open architecture avionics suite includes two computers and a three-channel information exchange multiplexer. The navigation suite includes laser gyroscopes and GLONASS / NAVSTAR global positioning. Weapons The Yak-130 combat trainer can simulate the tactics of different combat aircraft. There is one centreline fuselage hardpoint and the number of wing hardpoints for the suspension of weapons payloads has been increased to eight with six underwing and two wingtip points, increasing the combat payload weight to 3,000kg. The aircraft can carry weapons, suspended fuel tanks, reconnaissance pods and a range of electronic warfare pods including radar jammers and infrared countermeasures. An open architecture avionics suite installed on the Yak-130 allows a wide range of western weapon systems and guided missiles to be integrated including the AIM-9L Sidewinder, Magic 2 and the AGM-65 Maverick. Weapons fits include the Vikhr laser-guided missile, R-73 infrared-guided air-to-air missiles (Nato designation AA-11 Archer) and the Kh-25 ML (Nato designation AS-10 Karen) air-to-surface laser-guided missile. A Platan electro-optical guidance pod is installed under the fuselage for deployment of the KAB-500Kr guided bomb. The aircraft is fitted with a 30mm GSh-301 cannon or a podded GSh-23 cannon installed under the fuselage. It can also deploy unguided B-8M and B-18 rockets, 250kg and 50kg bombs and cluster bombs. Yak-130 radar The Yak-130 is fitted with the 8GHz to 12.5GHz Osa or Oca (Wasp) radar developed by NIIP Zhukovsky. The radar has the capacity to track eight airborne targets simultaneously, simultaneously engage four targets at all angles and simultaneously track two ground targets. The detection range against 5m² cross section targets is 40km in the rear direction and 85km in the forward direction. The lock-on range for operation in automatic tracking mode is 65km. The radar, which has adaptive waveforms and sidelobes, has a surface mapping mode which includes image freezing and zooming on areas of interest. An alternative radar fit is the Kopyo (Spear) radar. The aircraft can also be fitted with a podded Platan (Palm Tree) infrared search and track targeting system. Countermeasures The electronic warfare suite includes a chaff and flare dispenser, a radar warning receiver and active jammers. The 'Talisman' ADS is designed for operational aircraft protection against: All types of Air-to-Air (AAMs) and Surface-to-Air (SAMs) guided missiles armed with active (semi-active) radar seekers. All types of Air-to-Air (AAMs) and Surface-to-Air (SAMs) guided missiles armed with electro-optical (infrared) seekers. Ground-based air defense systems, employing command-guided SAMs. The ADS 'Talisman' also ensures aircraft protection against the ‘friendly fire’ of air intercept missile systems as well as ground-based air defense systems. (Talisman.mp4) Main advantages and singularity: Automatic (with no pilot/operator's input) jamming generation against all hostile illumination RESs. No restrictions on the number of the simultaneously jammed on-board and ground-based RESs. Total exclusion of the ADS-carrier self-radiation. The employment of the ADS places no restrictions on the air combat tactics of the aircraft under protection. When in close formation, the ADS-carrier securely covers a friendly neighbouring aircraft with no EPE. Full electromagnetic compatibility with the self radio electronic equipment of the aircraft under protection. Turbofan engines The aircraft has a high thrust-to-weight ratio of about 0.85. The demonstrator is powered by two Slovakian Povazske Strojarne DV-2SM turbofan engines, each rated at 2,200kg thrust. Production aircraft are fitted with two powerful high-economy AI-222-25 turbofan engines, each rated at 2,500kg thrust and developed under a Russian and Ukrainian program by Motor Sich, Zaporozh’e Progress Design Bureau and the Moscow Salyut Motor Building Production Enterprise. The export variant of the Yak-130 can be fitted with the DV-2SM engine. The internal fuel tanks, comprising two wing tanks and a centre fuselage tank, carry up to 1,750kg of fuel. With two suspended fuel tanks (each 450l) the maximum total fuel load is 2,650kg. The aircraft is fitted with single point pressure or optional gravity refuelling. The aircraft can be fitted with an in-flight refuelling probe. The export variant of the Yak-130 can be fitted with the DV-2SM engine. According to the customer country’s requirement, the aircraft can be fitted with an in-flight refuelling probe.

A couple of days of testing and it will get straight to download section for you all. This is my gift to you all, this beautiful community. More to come in the near future.
  6. By the way , I saw two medals in the menu CAT, one called Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal (I identified it on the internet) and the other called European–African–Middle Eastern Campaign Medal (also identified on the internet). They are both American medals. I saw no calls for them in any ini files. What are they for ? Were they for the campaigns ? Or TK had some future purposes with them ?
  7. Is there any nice medals mode for SF2 ? I looked into the download section, I couldn't find one. When I was playing SF1 series I had a very nice one with tens of countries and beautiful medals pictures. Unfortunately it can't be "ported". Thank you.
  8. Does anyone know , please, between what years the Mirage IIIC served in French air force ? In wikipaedia there are not data for it. Thank you.
  9. I like the orange and green skins, very slick.
  10. very cool paintjobs. Attention to details top notch. You have style man.Nice cockpit, too.
  11. alright I'll see what I can do. Thanks for assist.
  12. Nice skins for the Mirage! I like it.
  13. I see... Do you have an explanation why I can see in game the pod but in LOD viewer not ? Could the LOD be shared by other weapon or something ? I ran out of ideas LOL In your weapon folder do you have this rocket pod ? if you do does it look like mine ? Can you see the model in LOD viewer ? can you see it in game ?
  14. ok , thanks. UPDATE I checked , these you sent have no issues on my end. That one I think it's a stock one, that is why in its folder it doesn't have th LOD, it is only declared in the file's dataini. As you know TK locked the stock LODs, weapons included.
  15. I don't have the LOD, as you see in the picture, so I wrote it down in the ini to make it appear. It is already declared in data ini so it should have been appeared, but it doesn't , that is why I asked. When you have the LOD declared in the in i file and the lod exists, you see it in LOD viewer via ini file. I checked with other stock weapons, and you can see the LOD in viewer if you write the LOD line in ini file (taken from the dataini LOD line), even if you don't have the LOD of the weapon in weapon's folder. So, bottom line, if the LOD wouldn't exist (presuming you wrote down all the lines necessary in the respective files and the syntax is correct everywhere) and you can't see it in the viewer you shouldn't be able to see it in game, too, but I can see it. So I am puzzled why I can't see the LOD in the viewer ?
  16. I was doing some trimming in weapons folder and I ran into an issue (see the picture). I have a 3D model call and name in data ini , but the LOD viewer says it won't find a model, though it's line in ini file is correctlty written. Funny thing is that in game it appears, I checked. If the game loads the LOD and you see it, on plane's wing, it should be seen in LOD viwer as well, right ? I'm puzzled , what do I miss ? Thank you.
  17. I like the camos. They are very inspiring.
  18. I've been informed that next week, if everything goes as planned, we will have the bird. Finger crossed.
  19. Follow your dreams!
  20. I took a good look at every single missile model there is. The AIM-9L looks very close to that one I miss. I decided to make HiRes skins for every each of them.
  21. Very original skins. You have talent, no mistakes here.
  22. I see...Well let's keep a positive spirit for now LOL If no one comes forward with it I will ask maybe Ravenclaw, maybe when he will have time for it. We'll see However if anyone wants to help in making one, by all means, please say it.
  23. Exactly my point. That is why I ask who did it. Maybe who did it has still the 3D Max file...or maybe he finished it but didn't realeased it again.
