Bingo. PR.10

View File AV-8B Harrier II Plus - SF2. ver.2019 AV-8B Harrier II Plus / Radar This is my humble rework of old AV-8B. Basic modding skills are required to run this mod. (copy/paste, mod folder structure etc.) A fake pilot is needed to run this mod. It is designed for and works only in SF2 series. Around 3 years ago - January 2016 - KillerBee approach me with the possibility of updating bobrock's harrier, and preparing Night Attack version. After some time, we had file ready for upload. Small changes here and there corrected a few things. And great skins by Killerbee. And then KillerBee disappeared from CA forum. Honestly, up to now, I have no contact with him. last - 4th May 2016. So harrier stayed on drive waiting for his comeback. But .... I couldn't resist...And iI started to mod this again. Since I had no KB skin templates I had to do all new skins...and more. So now I am here...My standard AV-8B Harrier is already available for download same as Night Attack model. Both models recently updated, New cockpit and a whole set of new skins and decals on whole remodeled 'old' Harrier. - there is no single part of an original model that hasn't be touched/remodeled etc. First of all...If you want to count rivets...Do not. Many things could be done other way....but I did it my way. So you have to bear with it. All skins are in 4096x4096 format. So you can easily resize down. Generally, it is just a few skins. If you have problems running this in game. Resize skins to lower resolutions Skins and decals are made to match most of the skins from Night Attack model pack. All VMA squadrons are equipped with a mix of both NA and radar model. Decals are based on my and KillerBee research. All serials are correct for the Night Attack version of Harrier II. Not always (but mostly) correct for a unit/year of service etc. But as always aircraft are rotating between units so its hard to track them down really. Big Thanks to Ravenclaw - He send me file with new ALQ-164 pod. Now it is part of the upload. For some reason, I have added weapons that are present in Loadout.ini. AIM-120 is specific for AV-8B via specific station code. To have proper year of apearance. Animations: 1= canopy open - close 4= refueling probe - beware of a speed limit 3= night vision mode - not really helping but it is there - inside and outside animation. ************************************************************************************ You can exlplore ini files for some additional features like in cockpit "FLIR" feed on HUD . AAQ-28 can be loaded only on station number 5 and centerline - in real - centerline come to use later and some units (VMAT) also moded wiring for use on other pylons. Nut in this mod only station 5 and 4 can carry AAQ-28. AIM-120 can be loaded only on stations 2 and 6. There are two stations for Intrepid Tiger II pod. In future. ECM also activates RWR on digital display indicator - even if ECM pod is not loaded. If you have my AV-8B Harrier already - some files are same so simply overwrite. for proper sound work you should add these lines into soundlist.ini SoundFileXXX=USMComm_1 SoundFileXXX=Equalizer [Equalizer] Priority=NORMAL Looped=TRUE NumBuffers=2 3DSound=TRUE DopplerEffect=FALSE MaxDist=1000.000000 MinDist=100.000000 InsideConeAngle=360 OutsideConeAngle=360 ConeOutsideVolume=100 SoundFileXXX=USMComm_1 [USMComm_1] Priority=NORMAL 3DSound=FALSE NumBuffers=1 Looped=TRUE FrequencyControl=FALSE ************************************************************************************ Credits. Me - whole sort of strange things - model-re-model, new cockpit, skins, decals, ini files etc. Ravenclaw - BRU-42 ITER models. ALQ-164 model, weapons. AAQ-28 Pod- I don't remember who made this model - all credits to him and thank you. 331Killerbee - ideas, good words, research primary work on skins and decals, work on ini files, loadouts, effects etc. Crusaders - help with avionics ini. Sounds taken from sources offering free sound samples. bobrock- the original first version of the standard model - Thank you and thanks to KillerBee. Thanks to a lot of people who helped me with this mod...Stratos, Crusader, Geary, gurru, Soulfreak,76.IAP-Blackbird, and others. Thank you all CA users.

Updated a few things in the cockpit and external LOD. Changes in loadouts, main Data, some small changes on skins. Some new sounds. Generally fixed a lot of small things. Added Ravenclaw's ALQ-164 pod. It is part of the main aircraft lod. Thank you! You can download only patch 2.0 if you have already the file from V1. Although I recommend downloading the whole pack again - some extra skins and decals to match Plus.

But it's not blackjack...it is a vintage thing... sorry, my reply was not clear... This is more complicated. But there are ways to add some 'extra' useless things on mfd...Although those are mostly eye candies rather than useful functions. Still, the game engine is the limit.

FGR.2 early

I know...this is quick fix from parts laying around...You know MeteoroLEGO - forgot to remove tanks. I think it also had no flaps outboard like in NF long wing..Right ?

In a way, it can. I have cockpit on progress with a pilot, navigator/bombardier and DSO stations to switch... Of course, you can't do much on other stations but you can seat there.

No.

Honestly, it wasn't my plan. But. Eventually. Something like this? It needs some reworking on wings... but now I am preoccupied with some other stuff.

I will add my 5 cents to the thread as it claims that mods have not sufficient instructions. So my point of view. No instructions? So what. I can download any mod from here for free. And enjoy. And that is enough. I can't expect more from guys who are spending countless hours on skinning, editing, modeling etc. If I decided to mod my game I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO MOD THIS. Over the years I've learned how, when and why mods are working or not. And possible that I still have to learn more. As generally, I am new here - compared to others. Anyway. I found all the information that I needed - thanks to search option/button. And of course trial and error. And now I can even put some aircraft into the game. As for instructions -- ooo holly crap...we are not dealing with some quantum physics. Over the years all mods work the same way. We have the same structure of folders. Still. Copy - paste is often the most sophisticated way of putting mod into a game. Campaign/Mission/Aircraft/Weapon for NA/ Vietnam/ Korea or Iran - works the same way. So I don't give a sht if there is instruction or not. I'm glad that folks are still doing mods. And better if they are working on terrain or nice tilesets, skins, or any other great stuff (even small improvements are welcome) rather then writing Readme that possible 80% of people will not read anyway....(another thing is some are not reading and asking same questions over and over again ). As I know from my own experience writing readme is the worst part of making a mod...at least for me - I wrote once readme - explaining an idea of moded aircraft AH-6C - then I received a message that AH-6 looks different way...Yes G/F/M looks different But I've made AH-6C so meaning someone is stupid enough not to see a title of mod and thing that I've made C! So I wasted time writing readme because someone didn't get the idea... Anyway. Different story with payware. There if something is not working...it should have some technical support. But here - all is free... So, learn how, when and why...trial and error rather than complaining that someone forgot to put a sound file, fake pilot mod or small decal.. @1Patriot-of-many this post is not directed to you..just generally to someone. Regards and have a good day/evening folks. And I haven't had a bad day - quite ok although a little bit windy.

15 March 1967. The first Sikorsky HH-53B 66-14428 made its maiden flight at Stratford, Connecticut.

as Menrva said there will be few issues with lod trees. I was already doing it some time ago. I think also that lod trees can be placed only on flat terrain... on hill lod will be aligned with terrain surface.

Yes few things for sure can't be implemented in game..but this cockpit is not much complex. Gauges and buttons. Like any other pit.

In case of significant delays CA's protocol requires only statement that mod will be available in two weeks.
