Sukhoi Su-15TM Flagon-F v2.02 For SF2 by Boopidoo and team ---History--- The Sukhoi Su-15 was developed primarily because of the Soviet Unions great need for a capable high-speed high-altitude interceptor in the 1950's. The Sukhoi design bureu was tasked with the construction of the swept-wing S-1 tactical fighter and the delta-winged T-3 interceptor. The Su-1 'Fitter' which first flew in 1955 later developed into the Su-7 which in turn developed into the very successful Su-17,20,22 variable wing geometry attack aircrafts. The T-3 on the other hand developed into the Su-7 'Fishpot'. Unfortunately the Su-9 lacked performance in both operational range as well as radar range. This led to the development of the Su-15 'Flagon', not counting the half-failure of Su-11 (a bigger version of the Su-9). The Su-15 after lots of prototypes first flew operationally in 1965. During it's operational time it guarded the Soviet Unions borders right up until the desintegration of the USSR. Production of the T-model began in 1971 and that later became TM with the modernised Taifun-M radar. The Su-15 had at this point evolved with extended wings to lower the high approroach speed and a spherical nosecone to make room for the bigger radar. The TM also had smaller inner weapon pylons under the wings to carry R-60 (AA-8 APHID) missiles, this was done to satisfy the need of a dogfighting capability. To further increase it's overall capability the under fuselage pylons were upgraded to being able to carry gunpods, attack rockets, rocket pods and bombs up to 500kg. Since only the gunpods has been used and has a functional fire-control system the other loadouts options must be seen as theoretical, although the carrying capability's still there. ---Install guide--- Simply extract the contents of the Su-15TM folder into your Mods\StrikeFighters2 folder. Chaff and flares have been added so you can spend more time flying, and less time dying! ---Made by--- Aircraft LODs Boopidoo Aircraft textures Volksjaeger & Boopidoo Aircraft decals Volksjaeger & Boopidoo Cockpit LODS Boopidoo Cockpit textures Boopidoo & Badger the Bad su15tm_data.ini kreelin, MoonJumper & Boopidoo su15_avionics.ini Boopidoo su15_loadout.ini Boopidoo su15tm_cockpit.ini Boopidoo SU15_ABEmitter.ini kreelin & bpao SU15ab.tga kreelin & bpao (originally F14ab.tga by Deuces) Su15Engine.wav kreelin MiGLock & MiGTrack.wav Fubar512 (from Magos MiG-21 cockpit) Zvezda K-36D Ejection Seat by AleDucat Red Pilot by The Trooper Hangar Screen by Epizikl SF2 Updates and Loading Screen by NeverEnough ---Special thanks to--- Invaluable testing by MoonJumper and kreelin which inspired me to improve the model way beyond my initial goals. Thanks Volksjaeger, Eruyi & Hawkwind for help with the original model. Armourdave gave me a lot of invaluable help and support, thanks David! Thanks to Mago for help and tutoring regarding Soviet avionics and especially the RWR. Without the help from you guys of the column5.us and SimHQ.com forums this wouldn't have happened.

F-84F ThirdWire SF2 Tweaks and Bits 06-04-10 Credits: F-86F Cockpit by Zurawski Early 1960's French Pilot by Corktip 14, based on Diego's USAF Korean War pilot. Martin Baker Mk3 Ejection Seat by ravenclaw_007 F-84f Hangar Screen from the Mirage Factory F-84F Package F-84F Loadout tga by Paulopanz F-84F Data.INI tweaks and F-84F Loading Screens by NeverEnough The Thirdwire F-84F model is very nicely done for an AI only model, and can be easily finished into a real fine ride. The latest version included in the SF2 Expansion Pack did not have the flap deploy and retract settings in the Data.ini, so these have been added in this tweaked Data.ini. The taillight was located about six feet behind the aircraft, and the navigation lights on each side of the tail are modeled but have no entries in the stock Data.ini. The tailight location was corrected and the tail navigation lights are added in the included Data.ini. The front landing light has also been added, and SHIFT 0 will open and close the cockpit canopy. The early 1960's French pilot is a nice addition, and he looks great sitting in ravenclaw_007's beautiful new Martin Baker Mk3 ejection seat. The new loading screen is a French F-84F with Suez campaign stripes, which looks especially fitting when used with Paulopanz's Suez SuperPack skins! An alternate loading screen of a beautifully restored Italian F-84F is also included for a SF2E installation. Give this kite a test drive, and discover what a treat it is. Be sure to include Paulopanz's Suez skins, and you will be looking good. --------------------------------------------- Installation notes: Simply copy the contents of the included Objects folder into your Mods\StrikeFighters2 Israel, Mods\StrikeFighters2 Exp1, or Mods\StrikeFighters2 Europe folder. To use the Italian F-84F Loading Screen, change the line in the F-84F.INI as shown below: [AircraftData] AircraftFullName=F-84F Thunderstreak AircraftShortName=F-84F AircraftDataFile=F-84F_data.ini LoadoutFile=F-84F_loadout.ini UserList=F-84F_UserList.ini CockpitDataFile=F-84F_COCKPIT.ini HangarScreen=F-84f_HANGAR.bmp LoadoutImage=F-84F_LOADOUT.tga Loadingscreen=F84F_Loading.bmp <<<<<<<< Change this to F-84F_Loading.bmp ---------------------------------------------
