CHANGES: I highly recommend to overwrite previous files decals/weapons/guns- or best is delete the old one and put new files. YOU NEED TO DELETE OLD AIRCRAFT FOLDERS CH-53A and CH-53D_70. Many things were changed and as tested Overwriting may caouse some problems...So delete old ones put new ones. The rest (except Aircraft folders) are same can be overwritten without fear... Small changes in ini files, corrections on fuel loadout, changes in cockpit ini. Small changes in skins. Also No longer fake weapon "no gun" is needed - thanks to The Trooper.

Two parking animations included one for 'on land base' and other for 'on board' parking. You can fold tail and rotor by enabling animation in data.ini file. But it looks silly. And my intention for this animation was eye candy on board vessel. With little practice, you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes. Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control. With heavy cargo load probably you need little run on A model as engines on A are little underpowered. Normaly throtle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 70% then slowly more and more, wait and it will take off. Cockpits. Newly upgraded cockpit based on NATOPS manual. Mirrors working now and showing correct image. Fuel usage is not super perfect but compared to all previous H-53 models released here fuel gauges are working. Skins.

All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course you can edit and use any other weapons available. Here is experimental Mk105 minesweeper sled different than in previous CH-53D pack. This one is only for RH-53D. To see Mk105 open cargo bay. Cargo loads. I am releasing this cargo load in the current condition. So maybe some skins needs to be adjusted. Cargo loads includes few cargo crates for cargo bay and hook, howitzer, MUTTs. Skins for MUTTS - Thank yo The Trooper. IMPORTANT - Due to construction of this mod it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard, you may have some complications on the airfield - especially with underslung cargo load. Skins. 1977 Imperial Iranian Navy Islamic Republic of Iran Navy Aviation with 3 skins 1979 paint inherited from IINavy, Grey paint introduced somewhere in 90's and late current azure blue salamander camo.

Sikorsky RH-53D Sea Stallion over Persia
yakarov79 replied to yakarov79's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
I've just uploaded a new 3rd version of a file. (In fact it is 2nd version..but 2nd ver. was never released) Now BM and SM maps added. Small changes here and there. Reworked cockpit. Read info on the download page. If you have already an old version all aircraft folders must be deleted. After testing with overwrite some errors occurred. Decals/ weapons etc..are all fine. Aircraft must be replaced. I've done a similar job to other Stallions / Jolly Giants so I will upload them soon also. kind regards.- 1 reply

Souli´s T-33A & RT-33A Repaint World
yakarov79 replied to Soulfreak's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
interesting. -
Templates are included so feel free to do any skins. But I don't know YAP stuff..(I saw / hear some feedback and honestly i'm not impressed) - so I rather encourage you to do own research and do new skin sets. Nearly endless possibilities with units/skins etc. We don't have to follow yap. Feel free to pm if you need some assistance. My plan was to make skins that will match with AH-1 / OH-1 units from here. But I'm lazy and prefer to focus on other models now. I'm really looking forward to download skin sets for this huey.

It was used mainly by US NAVY Mine countermeasure units. At the end, of service time RH-53D were passed to USMC reserve units, where served as transport/heavy lift helicopters. Some were still used during Desert Shield/Storm operations in 1991. Finally, RH-53D was written off from units in 1996. 12 aircrafts were also ordered by Imperial Iranian Navy.

USMC - special for use in Desert Storm mod if needed: - HMH-772 Det.A Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots. As bonus there is Eagle Claw folder -easy to find. Inside - skins for sand repainted RH-53D - also replacement file for lod and deta.ini file - this wil make EAPS dissapear. So backup original lod and data file before using Eagle Claw mod.

Meteors Over Israel Bunch of meteors for SF2. For Isreal Air Force to be more specific. Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) Install: Copy paste specific folders into a correct destination. Fake pilot is required to run this mod. Also, Thirdwire Meteor cockpit is required from the original game. Fuel tanks- not to be afraid. Overwrite or just leave it. 100 gal tank is original TW tank. You can overwrite or just simply do not copy. 175 gal tank also. Tanks are just ini files. Mod use tanks that are part of aircraft lod. This is a highly modified Veltro2k model uploaded on CA somewhere in 2016 by paulopanz. Some time ago few guys decided (because they have a chance to do so) to rework this pretty aircraft. So, first of all, thank you Veltro2k. Although. There is just very few original parts of an old model. Most of it was remodeled. Added bits here and there. We changed mapping and we made new skins...and a lot of new stuff. You will see. That is part of a story... I took chance on modding this aircraft more and created some other versions. In this pack, you will find a few models available. F.8 FR.9 NF.13 T.7 T.7.5 Skins covering all units from IAF service. All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize to needed resolution. better to downsize than rescale to higher res. In case someone will have some plans around FR.9 version - this is a specific model with added cameras via decals because only two Israeli FR.9 were recon capable. I have FR.9 with glass nose also..to be uploaded... Credits. Veltro2k - the original model Me - model rework and some other mambo jumbo like skins decals, hangars 76.IAP-Blackbird - also T model re-working. Charles - original FM from original T.7 upload. Seat - all credits o creator - unfortunately I don't remember who made this seat. Pilots - I have no idea / don't remember who did it. All credit to him/her. - one of my favorites figures in a game - I've added this to correspond with the data file. Weapons RP-3 rockets from Ravenclaw. And yes the pack is huge. Hope I did screw something here.... Have fun Report bugs. Expect the unexpected Jarek Hereda THIS MODEL IS ONLY TO BE DISTRIBUTED AS FREEWARE AND IN NO OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE SHALL IT BE USED, EVEN IN PART OF ANYTHING THAT IS PAYWARE.

Because in 1956 Israel had only three NF.13 Meteors. The embargo was removed in 1958 and three more NF.13 departed from Coventry to Israel. But one of them 4X-FNF (56) was damaged in France and - so at peak strenght, Israel had 5 Meteors. One more (55) was lost in 1961. I guess in Skin set '119-Tayeset_56' there is small error and numbers.lst should contain only three aircrafts numbers 50, 51,52, Sorry, for a mistake.

Realistic Missile launch and Rotor Blades not spinning
yakarov79 replied to DEVIL11's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
It will be good for us to know exactly which helicopters. Because that kind of problem is usually ini error. As for smoke - some mods have already nice effect packs...I'm using my own personalized effect folder with effects from several mods....check effects in Scandinavian Front. -

I have early D model ready (small differences in pitot tubes) and uploaded H model has removed in _data.ini file wire strike protection kit nodes. So can be "ïnstalled" again for later models. There is also Israeli model. One day when time allows will be finished and uploaded If someone wants some specific variant - we'll see what we can do. -

And will never work in SF1. ************************************************************* This is FREEWARE-DONATIONWARE and it CANNOT be distrubuted unless permissions are granted by myself.

Any persons wishing to make further modifications, MUST remember to put everyone's name in it. Bribes and donations are accepted; ************************************************************* ************************************************************* THIS AIRCRAFT MOD OR ANY PART OF IT MUST NOT BE HOSTED OR POSTED FOR DOWNLOAD ON ANY OTHER WEB SITE WITHOUT MY EXPRESS PERMISSION, OR USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE THAN THIRDWIRE FLIGHT SIMULATORS, AND MUST NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE BY ITSELF OR WITH ANY OTHER FILES OR MODS. ************************************************************* Jarek Hereda ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This mod represents Late model of CH-53A already with instaled EAPS and early models oF CH-53D with uprated engines. A model never received aux fuel tanks and were used until 1992. At the end of service mostly by reserve units. D model /early/ was used also until around 1992. Not every D model was upgraded so in this config they were flying until the 90s. CHANGES: I highly recommend to overwrite previous files decals/weapons/guns- or best is delete the old one and put new files. YOU NEED TO DELETE OLD AIRCRAFT FOLDERS CH-53A and CH-53D_70. Many things were changed and as tested Overwriting may cause some problems...So delete old ones put new ones. The rest (except Aircraft folders) are same you can be overwrite without fear... Small changes in ini files, corrections on fuel loadout, changes in cockpit ini. Small changes in skins. Also No longer fake weapon "no gun" is needed - thanks to The Trooper. He pointed small fix in data.ini. Added simple bump and specular maps. Also added damage tgas. Some changes and rearrangement in the cockpit ******************IMPORTANT****************** FAkePilot mod neede to run this mod. As always. This addon works with my CargoPACK (included in rar file). All of the weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this cargo pack. Of course, you can edit and use any other weapons available. Standard commands: LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. ANIMATION 1 - right side hatch and door. ANIMATION 2 - left hatch cabin windows ANIMATION 3 - wipers outside/inside Parking animations. Two parking animations included one for 'on land base' and other for 'on board' parking. Im including two vessels moded as USMC nation.(same as in AH-1J pack) so you can practice start and land. Those ships have moded catapults, deck and arresting cables in data.ini file. Those ships are limited only to those used during Vietnam War on WestPac/SEA cruises. You can fold tail and rotor by enabling animation in data.ini file. But it looks silly. And my intention for this animation was eye candy on board vessel. With little practice, you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes. Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control. With heavy cargo load probably you need little run on A model as engines on A are little underpowered. Normally throttle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 70% then slowly more and more, wait and it will take off. It is possible to land on board two included ships. don't forget about a hook. Cockpits. One cockpit based on NATOPS manual, an early model for both A and early D model. Both models are similar. The only difference is in engine power. D model is 'stronger' so it's easier with heavy loadouts. And only D can tow 'experimental' Mk105 minesweeper. Skins. All serial numbers are based on available photos, and USMC documents and are historically correct. Weapons. The only "offensive" weapon is left/right side gunner. Well, it is a quite defensive weapon. Ah.. there is Napalm barrel bombs. Used in Vietnam War. Inside _WingsOverVietnam_Only Addon Folder ...BOOM. Cargo loads. I am releasing this cargo load in current condition. So maybe some skins needs to be adjusted. Cargo loads include few cargo crates for cargo bay and hook, howitzer, MUTTs. Skins for MUTTS - Thank yo The Trooper. in 1973 USMC joined NAVY in operation End Sweep and equipped their D model (HMH-463 only) with minesweeping stuff. So here you can "tow" Mk105 minesweeper. It is just interim mk105. V.2 is under development. To see Mk105 open cargo bay. IMPORTANT - Due to construction of this mod it is better to use collision and landing on NORMAL setting. On hard, you may have some complications on airfield - especially with underslung cargo load. Countermeasures. I've deleted Countermeasures from weapon loadout. Skins. All serial numbers, as far as I know, are based on photos and US Army docs and are historically correct. CH-53A in Vietnam used by HMH-463 and HMH-361. In mid-80s A model was still in use by some units. One of the last unit to use CH-53A was HMH-772 until 1992 when they send A to AMARC. Also in mid-80s ( I believe it was in middle or late) US Navy composite squadron VC-1 was using old ex-marine CH-53A until 1992 when they send them to AMARC. I think they were using only these two aircrafts. CH-53D Few paintings fro different years, early green early 80s green and tri-color mid-80s. HMH-361, HMH-362, HMH-461, HMH-461 - two schemes one - 78 from a trip to Japan and one 1973 during Operation End Sweep. Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots. This mod still needs some work. Will be working on it. Have fun. Edit and report bugs. Jarek Hereda. Thanks. Thanks to everyone who helped me with this. daddyairplanes,331Killerbee,76.IAP-Blackbird.

Sikorsky CH-53A / CH-53D Sea Stallion
yakarov79 replied to yakarov79's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - File Announcements
I've just uploaded a new 3rd version of a file. Now BM and SM maps added. Small changes here and there. Reworked cockpit. Read info on download page. If you have already an old version all aircraft folders must be deleted. After testing with overwrite some errors occurred. Decals/ weapons etc..are all fine. Aircrafts must be replaced. I've done a similiar job to other Stallions / Jolly Giants so if this is ok with you I will upload them soon also. kind regards.- 27 replies

because if you have an allergy to nuts or tomatoes you are simply not eating it. And yes you are right. -

You need this. For many mods in CA. I suggest to download and put it in your pilots folder. FakePilot.rar Use others stuff. The thing I am using Fakepilot mod - because it gives me some more possibilities knowing game engine limitations.
