Animations and standard commands:
 

ANIMATION 1 - cockpit windows
 
ANIMATION 8 - unfold hoist
 
ANIMATION 10 - lower/raise hoist.
 

This is beta file.
Better to share than store on hard drive.
If someone wants to improve something let me know.
Templates for pit or skins are available on pm request.
 

Aircrafts include cockpit files for C and B versions.
 
This is beta cockpit version. Not fully finished. So perhaps there wilbe update one day.
 

Flying.
As with all my previous helos flying is quite easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
Normaly throtle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 55% wait little and then increase to 100% and helo will take off nicely.
 
Pack includes
H-21B used by Japan Self Defense Air Force
Vertol V44 used by Japan Ground Self Defense Force
H-21B used Royal Canadian Air Forces / Canadian Air Force
H-21B/C used By French Army Aviation and French Navy Aviation.

Have fun.
Hope you will enjoy it same as me when working on it.

BELL AH-1S(Prod) COBRA Ver 2.0 for SF2
 
January 2016.
 
This is a third party add on of the AH-1S(Prod) Cobra using models and cockpits created by me.
The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
I have just modified it a bit.
 
It is designed for and works only in the SF2 series.
 
ver 1 was never uploaded as i started t o upgrade files during work on this. So this is upgraded to my 2.0 standard.
 
WeaponPACK for this model is also included.

This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
 
Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
 
AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
 
ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
 
LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.

 
A2A mode - gunner station TSU guncross for turret.
 
A2Ground mode - pilot M73 cross.
 

ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
 
ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
 
ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
 
ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
 
ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
 
Airfield eye candy blades animation.
 

Technicaly it is old S model with few upgrades. It has new 1st version of flat plate canopy. Rest things remain same as in previous S(mod) Cobra. In 1987 S(Prod) Cobra was redesignated AH-1P.
In mid 80s some birds received K-747 blades. Here represented by 78 model.
 
For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
 
When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
 
There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
 
NVG.
Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
 

Skins:
77 model
1st Sq(Air),17th Cav. 82nd CAB. 1978
42nd Combat Avn Brigade,New York ANG.1981
 
78 model with K747 blades.
1st Sq, 167th Air cavalry Nebraska ANG.1991
D Company 25th CAB, 25th Inf Div.
 
All serial numbers are proper for S(Prod) / P model but am not sure if these numbers appeared in specific units.
some seiral are taken from available photos and are matched to units. Some are just placeholders but are correct for model block buid.
 
Weapons.
All weapons are reskined. TOW models are new.
Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P model.
Including XM158 and M200 launchers.
TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D
 

One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
 
Pilots:
I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
 
 
 
Enjoy.
Report Bugs.
Edit your way.

This is simple remod, overhaul of Florian's Sea King model
Representing Agusta ASH-3D Sea King as delivered to Iranian Navy.
Model itself is Florian work and all hail to him for his work.
 
---------------------------------------------
The names of all contributors, modders, suppliers, etc =MUST= be listed in any new readmes.
This package and any part of it may NOT in any way, shape or form be used in any payware additions.
Any persons wishing to make further modfications, MUST remember to put everyone's name in it.
 
This mod represents Agusta ASH-3D and ASH-3D/TS Sea King as delivered to Iranian Navy in 1978.
Via fake pilot ive added radar dome to D and D/TS versions.
Iran oredered 17 D versions and 3 D/TS.
 
Model itself is untouched by me.
 
Ive made skins similiar as in RH-53D representing 3 colour schemes. early white/grey 1978, 1990 grey paint and current blue camo paint
 
All decals are made by me and are based on available documents and photos. So lets say - historicaly correct.
Iranian Navy is using only 3 aircrafts model D/TS and 17 D version.
 
This helo got new ini work. So if you have old Florian SeaKing - do a backup. Becasue this is new and you might not like it.
new aircraft data ini with new flight model, and few differences
animation keys reassigned.
 

Right side rear slide doors are opened as bomb_bay
left side slide door as ANIMATION KEY 1
 
Rotor brake ANIMATION KEY 7
Folding rotor ANIMATION KEY 8
 
Ive put some speed limits for animations up to 30 kts for doors,and rotor animation so you can fold onboard vessel.
 
Flying is done same way as in my helos. Vector thrust controll, etc.. it is pretty simple.
 
This aircraft is using same nation as previously released RH-53D for Iran Navy - called IranNavy.
 

Last thing:
There is new cockpit. As replacement ive done some simple generic cockpit for SH-3. Since there is lot of versions of SeaKing lot of pits, this is generic and simple build, that should fit here.
Consider it as beta, few things are not working there.

This is highly modified SA-341 Gazelle by BPAo (TMF). Lucky, thanks to Crusader I had access to original max file. So I could work a little on this great helo.
Generaly model is almost the same as old one. My work was to add some parts here and there (floaters, new sights, new pylon, some internal parts, skids etc..). Rearanged animations and added new. Weapons/pylons are part of airframe. Ive added new rotor. Also I've rearanged UVW mapping. So basicaly skins are 70% new.
This is third part of my gazelles rebuild. It represents Westland built versions of - Gazelle B, C and D used by United Kingdom military units.
Few changes to previous French model.
 

This mod represents few versions of Gazelle used in United Kingdom military.
 
HT.2 Training, liaison, transport helicopter used by Royal Navy
 
HT.3 Training, liaison, transport helicopter used by Royal Air Force
 
AH.1 Army Air Corps helicopter used as recon, liaison, light transport.
 
While HT.2 and HT.3 are pure slick and clean helos. AH.1 version saw some combat.
Thats why in this pack it is seperated in few parts.
First is main AH.1 general helicopter used by Army Air Corps and Royal marines. This is unarmed version, here can be found in 3 versions -early, late with Ferranti AF532 observation sight and late version vith external recon pod.
 
AH.1 as all british gazelles are unarmed helicopters used mainly for recon duties. However durin Operation Corporate some of Army Air Corps and Roya Marines helos were equipped with Matra six shot rocket pods (there were no aiming sight or anything like that instaled) Still due to reports it never saw combat use. Only training shooting.
 
 
 
******************IMPORTANT******************
 
This addon works with my WeaponPACK (included in rar file). Most of pylons/launch rails are part of airframe. So in weapons folder you have to put only ini files. 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 availalbe.
 
Weapons included:
 
There is no weapons. It is only floaters, engine filter, suppresed exhaust and some other stuff that can be added to helo, just for look.
 
Only offensive weapon added is in seperate folder for Operation Corporate. Matra LRF2 Rocket pods.
 
NOTE.
In AH.1 - 86 ver. you have acces to recon pod and search light. By loading search light you will have search light "beam" while light are one. But unfortunately light source will apear also when searchlight is not loaded. Anyway this is just experimental thing here.
 

Animations and standard commands:
 
LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed.
 
ANIMATION 1 - right side door.
ANIMATION 2 - left side door.
ANIMATION 3 - rear doors.
ANIMATION 4 - Floaters for 'emergency' landing only below (40?) km/h and only when loaded on aircraft.
 
Thereis also parking animation that works only when aircraft will be placed by game engine on airfiled as parked aircraft.
 
Flying.
As with all my previous helos flying is quite easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
Normaly throtle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 55% wait little and then increase to 100% and helo will take off nicely. 341 version got little less power in engine.
 

Skins.
There is just few skins but lot of use of it in few units. So it is more about decals assigned.
All serial numbers are based on available photos documents and are historicaly correct.
I was trying to put all real units with real codes/numbers for specific year. Not always easy.
There is still some numbers missing.
Skins are made for early and late paint used by Army Air Corps and Royal Marines.
 
Inside there is seperate folder Called "Operation Corporate' and 'Operation Granby'
Inside you will find whole helicopter pack needed to fly in specific instal for Falklands and Desert Storm mods.
 
 
 
 
 

Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots.
Two repainted versions of pilots are provided.
Those are repaint of OldDiego's great usn pilots.
 
Nation for this helo depends on version. There is Royal Navy (alos for Royal Marines) and RAF. Also new nation ARMY AIR CORPS is added in specific txt file. This should be added (by copy text from provided file) to nationlist.ini

ANIMATION 10 - rear door. (disabled in _data.ini file)
 
ANIMATION 1 - If needed you can activate old XM70 sight to aim hydra rockets. In fact MD500 defender was offered for sale also with M27 Minigun and XM70 sight.
Here on Defender will apear when switching to AG mode. In TOW Defender gunsight by animation key 1.
 
By pressing Arresting Hook activation key you can switch do TOW gunner.
 
Like in previously realased loaches here also you can realy fly low and slow. This helo got little more power due to higher weight compared to old OH-6A
I am sugesting to fly low on 40-50% of throttle. around 45degree vector control, use pulse rudder to control left right, it is realy easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
Important here is to control ac using rudder and vector thrust control.
 
Pack comes with two versions of Defender. First is basic recon version. Second is aircraft equipped with TOW missile system.
 
Skins are generic for Republic of Korea Army Aviation.
All numbers as far as I know are are historicaly correct and are based on available photos. Just few numbers, but can be updated later.
 
Weapons.
TOWs - BGM-71 A/B/C/D.
M260 7-tube rocket launcher with several different warheads.

C-54D Hilo Hatie
March 2016.
This is fake pilot mod of C-54D by Veltro. Original file can be found here
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/14309-sf2-douglas-c-54-skymaster-by-veltro2k/
 

This mod represents Big Safari modified C-54D for recon flight under code name Hilo Hattie. Modifications included installation of a new night photography capability with photo flash cartridge ejector and Reconflex VI infrared camera.
 
C-54D 43-17235 began operations on 20 April 1962 with a cover story for aircraft's purpose.
Hilo Hattie mapped all of south Vietnam and border areas of Laos and Cambodia. During 10 months of service, the aircraft flew 102 missions before it was replaced by Brave Bull - Big Safari modified C-97G.
 
So this mod is mostly for players interested in Wings Over Vietnam.
 

Decals, skins (based on veltro2k templates) - yakarov.
Hilo Hattie ini work (few lines for fake pilot and weaponstations work) - yakarov.
Fake pilot mod is done by me - yakarov.
original model - veltro2k

SF2 Douglas C-54 Skymaster by Veltro2K 9/23/2013
 
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
 
This the release of the Veltro2k's WW2 & Post-War US Cargo aircraft, made most famous by it's use during the Berlin Airlift.
 
It is REQUIRED that you have some measure of SF2, merged to whatever level, as this mod references the stock An-12's destroyed model. Hence, the need (as I state it always) for a Full 5 Merged install. It is usable without, but you may not have the dead, burning wreckage on the ground. It has NOT been tested in 1stGen SF/Wo* at any patch level. It most likely will =NOT= work, due to LOD coding.
 
This pack includes the following 4 skins for the C-54:
 
OD/Grey, with 1942-43 'star-and-ball'
OD/Grey, late WW2 (late 43-later), 'star-and-bar'
Natural Metal, Late WW2, to late 1947 (pre-USAF formation)
"USAF", Natural Metal, post 0ctober 1947 (tagged with Military Air Transport badges star-bar w/red stripe).
 
The AvHistory engine is included.
Skins are in jpg format, and decal radomization is set to TRUE for all. ALL markings are decals. The damage textures are in DDS format. The template is included for other skinners (and in the hopes someone can clean up the mess I made of it!!
Each skin has it's own Hangar Screen, matching the paint job (more or less).
The cargo loading door/ramp opens and closes with the standard Bombay key (Control/0).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Notes" section a read, in particular on operational usage, and the FM and other stuff like that there.
 
Happy Landings!

This is highly modified SA-341 Gazelle by BPAo (TMF). Lucky, thanks to Crusader I had access to original max file. So I could work a little on this great helo. At first I was planing only to rebuild middle east Gazelles to have some balance of power in Wings Over Israel game. But having oportunity to work on file brought me at this point. And I decided to go with French Gazelles first.
Generaly model is almost the same as old one. My work was to add some parts here and there (rwr,cable cutters, new athos, some internal parts, skids etc..). Rearanged animations and added new. Weapons/pylons are part of airframe. Ive added new rotor. Also I've rearanged UVW mapping. So basicaly skins are 70% new.
 
This mod represents Gazelle L1 as used by Cyprus National Guard. It was made on request of CA user. And with his help on ini edit I decided to put it here.

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 availalbe.
 
Weapons included:
 
HOT-1,2,3 missiles.
 
Cocpits.
It is simplified and unified version of Gazelle cockpit.
In pit you can switch from pilot to co-pilot/weapon operator seat.
On co pilot seat you have access to 1x "binocular" sight Athos/Viviane. In HOT equipped version by selectiong HOT missile sight will lock on target as all HOT missiles are made as EOGR.
 
Animations and standard commands:
 
LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed.
 
ANIMATION 1 - right side door.
ANIMATION 2 - left side door.
ANIMATION 3 - rear doors.
 
Thereis also parking animation that works only when aircraft will be placed by game engine on airfiled as parked aircraft.
 
Flying.
As with all my previous helos flying is quite easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
Normaly throtle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 55% wait little and then increase to 100% and helo will take off nicely. 341 version got little less power in engine.
 
Skins.
Two versons of Cyprus paint scheme. I decided to call it late and early.
 
Pilots - best to use is OldDiego's pilots.
 
Nation for this helo is new Cyprus. This should be added (by copy text from provided file) to nationlist.ini

BELL AH-1 COBRA OVER ... PACKAGE Ver 1.0
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 
 
This is a third party add on of the AH-1G Cobra using models and cockpits created by me.
The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
I have just modified it a bit.
 
It is designed for and works in the SF1 and SF2 series.
However this pack is build on SF1 folder tree.
For SF2 You have to separete Decals folders.
There is a plenty of tutorials how to convert to SF2 series.
For now temporary i dont have posibility to convert and work on SF2 sim. Temporary.
Sorry for that.

Instalation:
Copy folders into specific folders in your game.
Add Nations.ini line (below) if you dont have US Army Aviation yet.
 
I missed one thing. Pilots.
Use favorite pilots of your choice.
 
 
This addon works only with my WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
In Spanish AH-1G Z-14 model folder there is seperate folder with additional weapons made for Spanish model. It should be instaled same way as other weapons.
WeaponPACK can be downloaded here:
http://combatace.com/files/file/15215-ah-1g-weaponpack/
 
 
Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
 
AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
 
ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
 
LANDING GEAR - belly light deploy/retract at any speed in late models
- nose lights activate/deactivate in early model. Lights must on.
 
A2A mode - gunner station guncross for turret.
 
A2Ground mode - pilot M73 cross.
 
ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
 
ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
 
ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
 
ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
 
 
For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be
 
like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick
 
lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector
 
as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is good cruising
 
speed. Use vector throttle to control speed.
 
When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and
 
unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not
 
working like i want but better then nothing.
 
There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just
 
to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion
 
best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
 
 
I made all Mk40 FFAR rockets with different look of warhead. Two versions low poly with
 
colors in max and hi-detail with skins. But i just noticed that i did not pack hi-detailed
versions. I will upload it little later in weapon pack update.
I have redone all weapons - launchers M159,157,158,M200, and some navy LAUs. Gunpods M18
and navy SUU-11. XM118 smoke dispenser and also zuni LAU for future.
Guns are loaded as weaponstations so player got options.

Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
 
AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
 
ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
 
LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.

ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
 
ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
 
ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
 
ANIMATION 1 - NVG (It is not nvg but some greent filter) If you don't like it disable it in cockpitini file.
 
 
 
In 1995-96 Turkish army decided to upgrade old P model. It was sent to Israel for upgrades. And it was brought to late Israeli F model standard.. But still in official documents and info plates on helicopters it is P model. Aircrafts received new electronics, HUD and all israeli F model upgrades.
All serial numbers are proper for Turkish P model and historicaly correct.
 
For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector - and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.

There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
 
NVG.
Unfortunately there is no NVG in this game.
I just added green "filter" to cockpit and you can activate it by default Animation 1 key.
In external view ther will be little change in cockpit- unfortunately not moving with pilot/guner head.
In copit view there is green glow and filter It is definitely not helping during night flight but this is beta version. Maybe one day real nvg will be possible here. If you dont like it disable it in cockpit.ini file. This feature apears only in National Guard 85 model and bonus,
 
 
 
Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P/E model.
Including XM158 and M200/M260/M261 launchers and for smoe late models M260 and M261 with Mk66 motor rockets.
TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D
There is additional optional Suppressed Exhaust loaded via weaponstation.
Also here there is new M197 automatic cannon loaded via weaponstation.
 
One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
 
Pilots:
I am using helopilots by OldDiego.
Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
 
 
 
Enjoy.
Report Bugs.
Edit your way.

WARNING!
 
This is totaly new file. I highly recomend to backup your old files from AH-1G mod and old AH-1 S mod. OR just delete all old files.
This is totaly new files and will not work in many parts with old.
 
In 1974 Israel aquired for test 6 war weary AH-1G Cobra. It saw some combat in newly formed squadrons. After positive feedback abput new aircraft it was sent back to USA for upgrades.
In 1979-1980 Israel received back rebuilded to S(mod) standard 6 aircrafts (rebuild of G model they purchased in 1975. 3 were sent to 160Sq and 3 to 161Sq. Zahal used them during operation Peace for Galilee in 1982. Finaly around 1987 these 6 aircrafts were also rebuild into newer model. One original S(Mod) is still in museum.
 
 
 
For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off.

Weapons.
All weapons are reskined. TOW models are new.
XM158 and M200 launchers. Gunpods.
TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D.
 
One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
 
Pilots:
I am using repainted helopilots by OldDiego.
Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.

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

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.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMBAT ACE MODDERS AGREEMENT

Reworked pack of F-101A and C VooDoo.
Generally old good VooDoo in new dresses.
There are some small changes in data.ini files mostly in weapon stations section - so Backup your original file. You might not like it.
 
Despite VooDoo is extremely sexy aircraft it is much useless. Unfortunately. It was designed to be something different but had to serve in a totally different role. Nuclear Strike Aircraft. 
Because I'm always doing mods my way - to fit my needs. I wanted to have squadrons that used  "fighting 101". So the thing is...this is one aircraft -  because squadrons contained a mix of A and C versions and this aircraft had very limited use I decided to make one aircraft to cover both A and C version.
By default, I used A version limits.   Anyway, differences were only in the internal structure of airframe. 
Airframe 54-1491 served as CO aircraft in 27th TFW. So in the early sixties, it will pop up in special markings for 78th, 91st, and 92nd squadrons. 
If you want separate aircraft A and C you will have to do it on your own. Decals/serials for C are marked in numbers.lst with 'dot' .  
 
All new skins in 3072x3072 resolution. New bump maps and specular maps. also in 3072.. plus decals to cover A and C models serial numbers.
Pack contains 11 skin sets for early use by 27th TFW and then 81st TFW - all squadrons that ever used F-101A / C  (from different time periods to cover years of usage).
All new decals consisting of 95 serial numbers for block 20-35 of A version and block  40-55 for C version. 

Backup your original F-101 Folders. Also Decals!
Pack also includes the Mk.7 Tactical Nuclear Bomb.  New model quickly made for purposes of this pack. 
 
And an extra thing for squadron/wing geeks - set of skins for squadron hack. 
 
Credits:
Original models ErikGen
yakarov - skins / decals / some small ini tweak / Mk.7 model
Soulfreak - original skin for an extra thing. 
 
Have Fun.
May the VooDoo be with you.

This addon works only with included WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
 
Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
 
AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
 
ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
 
LANDING GEAR - skid search light on/off at any speed. Dont forget to retract it because you wil be not able to shoot.

 
A2A mode - gunner station TSU guncross for turret.
 
A2Ground mode - pilot M73 cross.
 

ANIMATION 7 - turret doors
 
ANIMATION 8 - ammo bay dooors
 
ANIMATION 9 - gunner door (ext and cockpit view)
 
ANIMATION 10 - pilot door (ext and cockpit view)
 

This is repack from old AH-1S(mod) and brand new AH-1P models used by Turkish Army Aviation.
 
Pack includes:
AH-1P - Combat version of Cobra aquired by Turkey in 1993.
TAH-1S - Training version also aquired in 1993. *
TAH-1P - one airframe of training TAH-1P was also delivered at the end of 1993.
 
* WARNING!
regarding TAH-1S
This is totaly new file. I highly recomend to backup your old files from AH-1G mod and old AH-1 S mod. OR just delete all old files.
This is totaly new files and will not work in many parts with old.
All serials are historicaly correct.
 
TAH versions are for training purposes with limited combat capability. But ini files for combat can be easly modified. Mostly in data.ini file weapons are limited by weight so it will not apear on loadout menu.
 

For take off: Around 75% of throttle vector (small needle on RPM clock in cockpit should be like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is about cruising speed.
 
When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not working like i want but better then nothing.
 
There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
 

Weapons.
All weapons are reskined. TOW models are new.
Most of the weapon are same as in previous packs and are common to G/Q/S/P model.
Including XM158 and M200 launchers.
TOWs BGM-71A/B/C/D.
 

One more thing. I am using mostly standard weapon effects.
Make sure to edit it your way if you decide to use this weapons.
 
Pilots:
I am using repainted helopilots by OldDiego.
Some pilots models might be too big for this helo.
 

Instalation:
 
Copy all files into specific folders.
 
special thanks to emresukhoi for helping me with this.
 
Enjoy.
Report Bugs.
Edit your way.

I have just modified it a bit.
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.

ANIMATION 8 - front left door
 
ANIMATION 9 - front right door
 
ANIMATION 10 - rear door.
 
ANIMATION 4 - floaters. (only if loaded)
 
Like in previously realased Cayuse family aircrafts here you can also fly low and slow.
I am sugesting to fly low on 40-50% of throttle. around 45degree vector control, use pulse rudder to control left right, it is realy easy. With little practice you can even hoover and follow ship with same speed and height. Without fake flaps and airbrakes. Important here is to control using rudder and vector thrust control.
 
Skins covers aircrafts used by 6 escuadrilla of Spanish Navy from 1972 untill late 90s. Later they repainted remaining aircrafts with grey scheme.
All numbers are historicaly correct and are based on available photos. Including losses of airframes.
 
Have fun.
Edit your way.
And report bugs.
you should probably thank acesfakia who asked me to do this.

Hughes OH-6A CAYUSE Ver 1.1 for SF1
 
 
This is a third party add on of the OH-6A CAYUSE using models* and cockpits created by me.
*External model is build by my friend Tomek Wachowski and me long time ago for differnt purpose. I just remodeled it a lot for use in this game. Technicaly it is 80% new model compared to original old one.
The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
I have just modified it a bit.
It is designed for and works in SF1 series. Flight model is copy from SF2. Here in SF1 somehow works different and I can not set it SF2 way. Sorry guys I tried, but no good result. Someone has to sit on FM here.
 
Please report if any LOD file is not ok. I've exported everything again into SF1 standard but I could miss something. If ever something is wrong sorry for that. Report and I will fix it.

This addon works only with my WeaponPACK (included in rar file). All of weapon stations are made as specific station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
 
Standard commands for activating Loach features:
 
OH-6A Loach:
 
ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
 
LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. Don't forget to retract before shooting.
 
A2Ground mode - M70E1 gunsight.
 
In OH-6A Cayuse model XM70E1 gunsight will apear in cockpit and external model only when gun is loaded on weaponstation.
 
 
OH-6A Cayuse only:
 
ANIMATION 8 - front left door (ext and cockpit view)
 
ANIMATION 9 - front right door (ext and cockpit view)
 
ANIMATION 10 - rear door.
 
 
This helicopteris build in two variants. First is ‚clean’ out of factory OH-6A Cayuse. Just small scout chopper. Second is OH-6A Cayuse as seen on many photos from Vietnam War. Known also as Loach.
In this model you can switch to rear gunner positionand actualy realy hit ground targets with M60. You just have to aim throug rear – front sight line. Like in real gun.
It is not prefect but this game as you know is not supporting choppers, double cockpits and many many more things. So this time again it is just to have at least good feeling.
 
Gunner is made as internal weapon not weapon station. This way is better. Gunner is set as secondary weapon by default.
 
You can realy fly low and slow. And in Pink Team just mark targets for Cobra wingman.
I am sugesting to fly low on 40-50% of throttle. around 45degree vector control, use pulse rudder to control left right it is realy easy.
 
Fuel. Remeber it is small chopper. And it can carry only around 54 US Gals of fuel. I belive it is enough for around 2 hours of flight here maybe little more.
 
Skins.
All serial numbers are historicaly correct.
Paint schemes and markings. I was trying to be acurate as much as possible in paint schemes and markins. Some skins for unit are generic because there were some little diferences within unit itself. Plus this schemes represents aircrafts used bu units during 2-3 year of service.
 
 
OH-6A Cayuse standard olive green paint with two serial numbers.
 
OH-6A Loach. Here i was trying to match my AH-1G Cobra.
All serial numbers are historicaly correct.
D Company 227th AHB
11th ACR
C Troop 1/9 Cavalry
D Troop 1/4 Cavalry
D Troop 3/4 Cavalry
C Troop 16th Cavalry
F Troop 4th Cavalry
 
 
Story about Weapon systems.
Internal. Gunner with M60 400 round of ammo.
No flash by default. Because with cocpit movement on gunner station it apear somewhere on elbow. better when it is not there. It can be easy changed by setting entry on M60 in aircraftdata.ini to TRUE
 
 
- Weapon Station 1
 
XM27E1 – M134 Minigun
M27 - as above redesignated an unfaired Minigun M134 since 1969.
XM8 – M129 40mm automatic grenade launcher. Not seen in Vietnam.
 
 
Plus some extra weapons that were spotted on photos from Vietnam War.
 
- Weapon Stations 2 & 3
Up to two single tubes for Mk40 FFAR rockets attached on skids, with different warhead rockets. M151, M156, M229, M255A1, M259, M257, M247.
 
 
- Weapon Station 6
Experimental quad launcher unit developed by Rock Island Arsenal attached inside cargo compartment. Similiar to system mounted later in exported versions of H-500 Series. Very rare, seen on few pictures from Vietnam War but it was there.
 
Do not mix Weapon station 2 and 6 on loadouts menu. Meaning to be correct 2 or 1 single tube OR Quad launcher.
 
- Weapon Station 7
Most interesting is 7 tube XM158 launcher attached to XM27 susbsytem instead of 7.62mm minigun. Very rare field mod probably instaled only on one aircraft (no. 67-16321). I just used two versions with M151 and M156 warheads.
 
- Weapon Stations 4 & 5
Smoke grenades. DO NOT GIVE THEM TO WINGMAN.
Just five colours of smoke grenades, Yellow, White, Green, Red, Violet. I am not sure if this will support available color smoke effects. So probably wil need to create new smoke effects or mod smoke grenades.
 
- Weapon Station 8
Exhaust modification in late Loaches. Starting 1972 when SA-7 was threatening US crews this mod was often instaled on scout choppers. Same purpose as on late G Cobra models. I will apear on aircraft by default starting 1973 due to loadout.ini file.
 
 
- Weapon Stations 9, 10, 11, 12.
 
Not to be used on OH-6A !
Purpose of this is to play Pink Team on single mission with armed AH-1G Cobra.
 
In single mission on loadout menu you can change wingman aircraft to any AH-1G Cobra available and arm it with designated weapons for Cobra. If you don't like this option you can easly disable this by puting \ mark in data.ini file in front of weapon station entry.

Reworked pack of RF-101A and C VooDoo.
Generally old good VooDoo in new dresses.
There are big changes in FM model thanks to baffmeister  in data.ini files - so Backup your original file. You might not like it.
 
In game you will find new aircrafts under names
*RF-101A VooDoo
*RF-101C VooDoo '58
*RF-101C VooDoo '66
note that RF-101C '58 uses non-RWR - VooDoo A cockpit.
 
All new skins in 3072x3072 resolution. New bump maps and specular maps. also in 3072.. plus decals to cover A and C models serial numbers.
Pack contains several skin sets for both models. With all research, I was trying to be correct as much as possible.
RF-101A have also one skin/decal set which contains few decal skin sets to cover experimental camo trials conducted in mid 60s. 
Regarding colorful aircraft serial numbers: 
54-1513 some say it was dark green some that really black. more info goes towards black so I painted it black (like Rolling Stones in 1966)
54-1514 first was painted similar as represented in this pack, then it was repainted with adding some brown colors.
54-1512 green/black camo with added brown during tests. 
All this skin set with experimental camo trial is quite complicated and hard to put correctly in-game but I hope it will work fine for you.
I did not include skin sets for VooDoo operated over Vietnam. This will come in a separate package. Eventually. One day.

All new decals consisting of serial numbers for block 20-35 of A version and block  45-75 for C version. 

Backup your original RF-101 Folders. Also Decals!

Gloster Meteor T.7
second improved version for SF2.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) 
Install:
If you are here which means that you like old jets, and for sure you downloaded the previous pack already. 
You should have proper squadronlist.ini from the previous pack by paulopanz.
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 uses tanks that are part of aircraft lod.
This is 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.
Of course, you could expect more skins. And if you are expecting more skins -  you will have to do it on your own. But templates are available. 
All skins are in 4096x4096 format. You can easily resize to needed resolution.  better to downsize than rescale to higher res.
For sure Israeli Meteor will be uploaded someday soon. WIP.

Copy all files to specific folders in your game mod directory. 

ANIMATION 1 & 2 - cockpit doors
ANIMATION 8 - unfold hoist
ANIMATION 9 - PJ on a winch 
ANIMATION 10 - lower/raise hoist.
This is beta file.
Better to share than store on hard drive.
 
Aircraft include generic Bell Huey cockpit.
 
Flying.
As with all my previous helos flying is quite easy. With little practice, you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
Normally throttle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 55% wait little and then increase to 100% and helo will take off nicely.
 
Pack includes one helicopter with 1 skin

Have fun.
Hope you will enjoy it same as me when working on it.
Edit and report bugs.

The first part of Cold East Ground Objects Bonanza mods for the SF2 series game.
First of all. This is not entirely a 'Plug and Play' mod.
Yes, some objects will appear in the game right away, but some will not - because some objects are meant to be used via the target editor. 
In general, the whole mod is built for terrain enhancement - a lot of objects should be added in terrain TYPES and TARGETS. But of course, some like tanks, SAMs, AAA, etc will appear automatically in the game.
Having this in mind this mod is mostly for terrain builders, modders, and experienced users. If you are hoping for quick-click plug-and-play - this is not for you. 
All objects have destroyed models added.
Gun files should be taken carefully - they are slightly modified by guuruu with decreased performance. 
I believe all the gun files are provided and you should have them already, if I forgot something - well it happens sometimes. Sorry for that.
5 new weapons for some of the objects. 
9M14M, 9M14P, 9M111, 9M113, 9M114
Part one contains mostly tanks, APCs, IFVs, SPAAG, and some support armored objects.
All of the skins are green, I added a few camo versions and a few extra but just for specific objects. NO Tan/Desret scheme. This might come in a more specific mod for specific terrains in the future.
Userlist ini files are just there but they might need editing for your own use.
Under any circumstances DO NOT mix these objects with ODS 30Aniversary Edition mod. ODS30AE objects are exclusive for ODS and differ in many ways from Cold East Ground Objects Bonanza.

This is update for my weaponPACK included in AH-1G/Q downloads.
Originaly in pack there are FFARs with colors from 3dsmax. Here is version with skins.
You have to copy files (lod and bmp) into designated folders in your game weapon folder. Just that.
Copy old lod files in case you don't like new ones. New ones need skin to work.
 
There is also Mk40_m257 weapondata ini file. Copy it also to specific folder. It will fix not animated fins on this rocket.
 
Jarek.
 
Regards.

Simple skin pack with a few sets of skins for Navy versions of A-7 Corsair II - A/B/C/E and E_74.
Basic modding skills are required to run this mod.  (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) 
It is designed for and works only in SF2 series.
To run this mod you need also access to TW lod files from SF2 Series.
 *.ini files for loadout, avionics, cockpit, or aircraft data - not included.
Skins cover the years 1970-1982 for the Atlantic and Pacific Fleet.  The pack did not cover Vietnam War CVW deployments.
Pack contains skins and decals. I have included also decals from the upcoming pack for low-viz SLUF. This way it is simpler for me, all decals are in one place, save time, and will not harm anything. 
Skins sets are made in pairs - two squadrons for CVW for a specific year. 
I could not find all proper BuNo / Modex but I am considering this as ongoing work in progress, so one day if I will learn something new there will be an update. Also, not all squadrons have CAG markings, sometimes i could not find info on markings...so I left it, again there might be an update if new info appears.
I believe that pack after unp[backing is around 2GB. So make some space for SLUF.
 
All skins, new bump maps, specular and decals are made by me. 
Decals are made by me...but I think I have used one or two decals from MAKOTO pack (VA-192?)
 
report bugs.
enjoy. 
Jarek Hereda.
 
P.S.
This is huge, a lot of copy-paste for me, all decals.ini, textur.ini, etc...So if you will find that one decal is not showing up or something...just check first - maybe there is some bug in *.ini file. Fix, post solution, etc... So others can benefit from your fix. 
I put a lot of effort and time, checked everything twice..still gremlins can appear.
