Craig - Thanks for the feedback, I've just found something wacky in the Stabilizer section of the data.ini, I've already ironed it out but I just need to finesse it a bit 1st as I've only just discovered it. The update should be up later tonight or Sunday morning, until then I'd say carriers are a bit dangerous! ******************EDIT********************* Problem now sorted - Pack Now Updated! If you already have the pack and just want the fix then here it is - 1st DO NOT USE the Automatic Nozzles data.ini - it causes too many problems taking off. 2nd Unzip this file and put it into your FRS.2 Folder and allow it to overwrite. - http://www.ianhenshall.com/sf2/frs2update.rar Thanks for being patient!

View File Sea Harrier FA4 2007-2020 "What-If" ******************************************************** "What If" - Sea Harrier FA.4 for SF2 V1.1 ******************************************************** This is my "What If" version of the SF2 Sea Harrier FRS.2 I helped update with Wrench and DTMDragon. Shortly before the paperwork scrapping the Sea Harrier FRS.2 was supposed to have been signed a Secret memo came from the US DOD claiming that its replacement,the F-35, was going to be much delayed, probably until 2015-2020. Rather than leave the Royal Navy toothless for a generation the decision was made to upgrade the Sea Harrier to FA4 status as a stop-gap until the F-35 was ready. As well as a new cockpit, strengthened wings, improved avionics including a new ECM jamming suite and a slightly upgraded Air to Air weapons suite the Navy now decided that it needed it's Aircraft to have a precision capability if was to play any part in any possible upcoming conflicts. By this point the technical boffins at the MOD had upgraded the RAFs precision strike armoury with some World Class munitions, which gave the Navy access to these new weapons allowing it to greatly expand the previously limited strike role of the Sea Harrier. The newly designated FA4 (Fighter/Attack) will lead the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy into a bright future which makes the descision to scrap them look short-sighted. This has been designed to work on everything from any of the Stock Games (May '12 patched) including SF2:NA to a fully Modded install with NATO Fighters IV etc. The new weapons are standalone and will not affect other weapons packs, however you may see other weapons from your pack are available. Please use the ones labelled "Royal Navy/RAF (WEAPONS NAME)", they're all fairly grouped together for ease of use. These have all been designed and/or modified for this Sea Harrier release specifically, even though the Weapons may seem to be identical to ones you already have and may include upgrades to my previous weapons packs. Installation ------------- Unzip then copy and paste these folders into your Mod folder (usually C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 or whatever yours is called). AIRCRAFT ------------ Aircraft Specific Info - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Sea Harrier FA4 (2007-2020) - Originally used by the Royal Navy primarily for Fleet defence this upgrade makes it a truly multirole weapons platform with a world leading capability. With it's immense power to weight ratio it accelerates/decelerates like a sports car and the new wing makes it 10G capable with a sustained 8G turn possible. OTHER INFO ----------- Loadout Screen - -------------- If you want to add the 2 Belly AMRAAM's (Group 5) in place of the gun pods (Group 4) then you also have to add the Belly Pylons which are also in Group 4 and they will replace the Gun Pods. Sniper Pod - As this is the F-16 Chin Sniper pod in the loadout it shows up on the centreline but in-game it's where the right gun pod would be. The stock loadouts which require the Sniper pod also have the Left gunpod included which isn't possible through the In-Game Loadout Screen. There is a nice update in 2015 when the RAF Meteor Air to Air Missile becomes available. Issues - --------------------------- Refuel Probe - Sadly this was never skinned in the original model and with the new high resolution skins we now have it looked truly terrible and just didn't work so we've removed it until such time as a new one can be made and added via Fake-Pilot. Cockpit - There's no nozzle gauge and the Weapons locations on the Left MFD can be a bit glitchy. *******If you find any issues or find that I've got something wrong please contact me on CombatAce - http://combatace.com/user/64030-ianh755/ ******************* Change Log -------------- V1.0 - Initial Release V1.1 - Carrier Take offs possible THANKS -------- This update was a collaberation between the following and my thanks for all their hard work and efforts go to them entirely - "GUEST" - Original SF1 release with Automatic Nozzles. DTMDragon - Various Ini Edits, Gun Pods/Belly Pylons & Manual Nozzles. Wrench - Various Ini Edits & Hangar/Loading Screens. ChrisBV - SKin and Decals. AmokFloo & AleDucat - Pilot and Seat.

View File Sea Harrier FRS.2 ****************************************** Sea Harrier FRS.2 for SF2 V1.1 ****************************************** This update by Wrench, DTMDragon and myself brings the SF1 Sea Harrier FRS.2 upto SF2 standards. This has been designed to work on everything from any of the Stock Games (May '12 patched) including SF2:NA to a fully Modded install with NATO Fighters IV etc. The new weapons are standalone and will not affect other weapons packs, however you may see other weapons from your pack are available. Please use the ones labelled "Royal Navy (WEAPONS NAME)" (they're all grouped together for ease of use) as these have all been designed and/or modified for this Sea Harrier release specifically, even though the Weapons may seem to be identical to ones you already have. Installation ------------- Unzip then copy and paste these folders into your Mod folder (usually C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 or whatever yours is called). AIRCRAFT ------------ Aircraft Specific Info - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Sea Harrier FRS.2 (1993-2006) - Used by the Royal Navy primarily for Fleet defence although it does have a useful, if limited, Strike/Anti-Ship capability. With it's immense power to weight ratio it accelerates/decelerates like a sports car and is 9G capable with a sustained 7G turn possible. Sadly the lack of money meant that the weapons loadout was fairly limited yet, for it's primary task, the Blue Vixen radar mated to the AMRAAM system proved to be world class. OTHER INFO ----------- Loadout Screen - -------------- If you want to add the 2 Belly AMRAAM's (Group 5) in place of the gun pods (Group 4) then you also have to add the Belly Pylons which are also in Group 4 and they will replace the Gun Pods. Issues & Optional Files - --------------------------- Refuel Probe - Sadly this was never skinned in the original model and with the new high resolution skins we now have it looked truly terrible and just didn't work so we've removed it until such time as a new one can be made and added via Fake-Pilot. Optional Files - 2 different Hanger/Loading Screens, just copy/paste them into the aircraft folder. *******If you find any issues or find that I've got something wrong please contact me on CombatAce - http://combatace.com/user/64030-ianh755/ ******************* Change Log -------------- V1.0 - Initial Release V1.1 - Data.ini edited to allow Carrier Take Offs THANKS -------- This update was a collaboration between the following and my thanks for all their hard work and efforts go to them entirely - "GUEST" - Original SF1 release with Automatic Nozzles.

For some reason the Indian SU-30 just holds my attention like few others, I don't know if it's the twin seats or the NATO/WP combination of weapons but I just can't quite put my finger on why Very early WIP I'm trying of the Indian SU-30K (no MKI model sadly ) just testing skin colours and decal placings (still with Soviet Loadout).

Hi there, it maybe one of these - 1. Your damage textures need to be in dds format not tga. 2. Your F-15E_04.ini needs to have this added [DamageTexture] DamagedPostFix=_Holes.dds 3. Each skin image (BMP/JPEG) for the A/C body/wings/tail etc needs it's own damage texture which must be named like this "name of skin"_Holes.dds. So for the F-15E_04 there are 3 skin files so you need 3 damages textures named like this F15E_04-01_Holes.dds F15E_04-02_Holes.dds F15E_04-03_Holes.dds Hope that helps!

Eric - The Rack is the completely stock one from the MGunny pack with the "missiles face backwards" fix added from the SF2 KB and the Missiles are my own recolouring of the Laser/Mw Hellfire model (AGM-114K/L) which replace the stock Brimstone model.

Sea Harrier FA4 WIP - added tweaked F-16 BRU-57 2BR and F-31 Cockpit.

Harrier WIP Old and the New There's 2 models in the Falklands pack, this is FRS.lod instead of the default FRS1.lod used with ChrisBV alternate skins.

Thanks for that Eric! All back to default now.

Hi all, a quick question for you - In which ini/CAT file would I be able to find the Names of the mission types so I can change them? After a random Mod update my SF2:E is now using SF2:V mission names so my Long Range A-A is currently called MIGCAP/TARCAP and my SEAD is Wild Weasel etc and I'd like to change them back. Cheers!

Looks like you're 200,000ft+ high. Can you fly or look around or are you stuck?

Popping over to the KittyHawk for a visit! Had to overshoot the Heli pad, some crazy fool had parked a helicopter there

Sea Harrier FA4 2007-2020 Shortly before the paperwork scrapping the Sea Harrier FA2 was to have been signed a Secret memo came from the US DOD claiming that the F-35 was going to be much delayed, probably until 2015-2020. Rather than leave the Royal Navy toothless for a generation the decision was made to upgrade the Sea Harrier to FA4 status as a stop-gap until the much delayed F-35 was ready. As well as an uprated engine and a slightly improved Air to Air upgrade the Navy now decided that it needed it's Aircraft to have a precision capability if was to play any part in upcoming conflicts.

There's been a few threads about this now, it seems to be a random event so, for example, I've shot 3 AIM-9's at 1 target and done little damage, saved and replayed the mission and the same shots now kills with just 1 AIM-9. It's totally random now.

Wrench - Great minds etc Bombs Gone! IMPACT! Those little white clouds are following me! Low level Strafe!

Fantastic Job there, can't wait to try this wee beauty!

Thats a very rare pic of the Tornado, it has BOZ flares loaded which only happens once in a blue moon for UK flying!

CadeteBRA - In the SCALP-EG data.ini (SCALPM in the weapons folder) remove the stationspecific entry and make sure the Centreline pylon in the Rafale data.ini has EOGR as an allowed class.

The vast majority were 107mm, say about 70% with about 25% of 122mm and a very rare number of mahoosive 240mm ones. In a 4 month tour I did in mid '07 when it was a bit ridiculous we had around 1000 attacks averaging from 1 rocket to 30+ rockets a time (the lower end was the more usual). They moved all the A/C out of Basrah due to the damage being caused and brought US Apaches in from Baghdad to sort out the threat. There's a lot of vids on YouTube of us being hit to give you an idea of the Fun we had!

Spinners -NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You've gone too far this time, too far looks great, wrong but great!

If you mean like a Tornado with an external Chaff/Flare pod then add "AllowedWeaponsClass=EP" to the A/C data.ini in the Pylon section but there aren't any pods that are small enough to replace an IRM except maybe the Phimat pod which is French/British.

A great find there Svetlin!

Teras - It's in the Rafale File Announcement thread (it's changed very slightly from the one above)
