Not wip. Just build for fun.

Nose node skin is not "white" on the bottom? Intentionaly ? Or.

I think i got some more loadout diagrams but cant figure oout where it is right now. Got it somewhere. Will post/forward asap. Yes it is from NATOPS. Loading diagram is from different doc. I am looking for it also.

ad.6 interesting is half loaded 19 tube launcher. Half of 19 is...9.5 rockets ?

Can we add RATO support ? Via fake pilot or weapon is not problem. Data ini need to be moded too.

Added bits here and there. All decals Tail numbers and nose numbers are made by me. The rest (national insigina etc) is from original pack. Hangar and loading screens by Me. It is designed for and works in the SF2 series of games. This mod is only for CombatAce. Any part of it can't be used in any comerical products. ********************************************************* Original ReadMe: ********************************************************* Mirage Factory C-135A/B and KC-135A/E/R for SF2.

No pit included. Great for using in the mission editor. To make flyable please follow these instructions: http://combatace.com/topic/20789-how-to-make-ai-planes-flyable/ Enjoy Dave USAFMTL ********************************************************* ***************************** UPDATE NOTES ***************************** IMPORTANT. Update by 76.IAP-Blackbird. All credits to him. He did great job on this. He fixed airbrakes and put engine reverse thrust into specified models with TF33 / JT3D engines. If you already have this pack. You can download just update data.ini of each aircraft. file Updated_Aircraft_Data_only.rar Please copy data.ini file of aircraft model into specific folder in game mod folder. Do not use Data.ini of on emodel on other. Even if file name is same. Example. RC-135U_70 got different data.ini file than model _80 or _90. So you need to copy each aircraft data.ini file from each folder of this update into yours game folders. Just keep this in mind to avoid mess with fake pilot RC mods. Or you can download whole updated pack and overwrite yuor game files. If you are downloading it for the first time. No need to download update. It has already updated ini files. You need FakePilot mod to run this pack. This is Beta version which means: - I never finished avionics work. I was trying to do something but lack of time...and it will take me months. So ther is no specific avionics for every model. Just one generic. And it is not working. It really needs some avionics work. - Skins could be better. I just simple deleted some lines here and there but I've never put so much attention to weathering etc. - Cokpit is from B-52. Just for test flights. It is included. I don't remember who made this. All credit to him. - All birds are set as Bobmer so they can fly high. - For sure it needs some ini work. - It need still some work. But only if i will find time. Better to upload it now than never. So for now it is realased as in condition. Pack includes RC-135C Big Team. RC-135D Rivet Brass. RC-135E Lisa Ann / Rivet Amber. RC-135M Rivet Card. RC-135S Rivet Ball. first S version under name Wanda Belle and later Rivet Ball. RC-135S Cobra Ball early as in 1969 RC-135S Cobra Ball as in early eighties. RC-135S Cobra Ball current version as rebuild in mid nineties. RC-135U Combat Sent early version with 'Towel Rails' and first paint scheme RC-135U Combat Sent still early version but with new paint scheme. RC-135U COmbat Sent late version as modified in late eighties. RC-135V Rivet Joint eary version of V model with LTV mission equipment RC-135V Rivet Joint late rebuild with E-Systems humps. RC-135W Rivet Joint RC-135W Rivet Joint as above but with new engines. All serial numbers are historicaly correct. Same as names. All aircraft were names as code + number "Combat Sent II or Cobra Ball I etc.) I have no information about everything. Info about any of it would be great. Especialy about Rivet Card. Since whole mod is made via fake pilot there are some limitations. Biggest "no" for me is first S- Cobra Ball where 663 and 664 carried little different set of sensors. Some aircrafts were upgraded later than other in same model group. So service date is generic as first aircraft of block build was issued. Example: first Cobra Ball was flying already 1969 (663 number) but second (664 number) was delivered in 73 if I remember correctly. Same with other aircrafts, they were never delivered same year. There were few fancy nosearts spotted on RCs but...not this time. Maybe later with some updates Instalation: Copy subfolders to specific folders in your mod directory. Aircraft,Pilots, Decals. Thats it. Enjoy. Report bugs. Keep an eye on enemy. Jarek Hereda Reference: The History of Big Safari, Colonel Bill Grimes. great web of recce wisdom by Kingdon R.

In 1961 Air Force started program Nancy Rae - in 1963 renamed Wanda Belle and in 67 Rivet Ball. And back then black wing was necessary as anti glare surface for it optical system. In 1969 June 13 Rivet Ball crashed. And then under Big Safari project Air Force ordered new planes 61-2663 - Cobra Ball I and 61-2664 Cobra Ball II. It carried new type of sensors and equipment. Black wing was no longer needed but as tribiute to first Rivet Ball they painted wing black again. Trivia. In 1981 Cobra Ball II crashed with six crewman perished. This was big loss and shock for AF. And after that AF put order for new aircraft. Choice was 61-2662 but it was never named Cobra Ball II again but III. At the same time Cobra Ball changed all equipment for new one. And here Cobra Ball I and III carried little different type of sensors. In early nineties need for third S-Cobra Ball lead to conversion of aircraft 62-4128 for minimum Cobra Ball plane. And this aircraft was finaly named Cobra Ball II. All that time all Cobra Ball planes carries black right wing until now. edit. I missed it in first post. RC-135S Cobra Ball (current)

Some time ago I started to 'fake pilot' some C.-135B. Why ? Wish I had all planes from Vietnam War era in my Over Vietnam Install. There are still missing aircrafts. A lot is missing. So RC-135M and D were flying over Gulf of Tonkin. That is the begining of the story. And as always it is starting with something small...and later. Mess. And later I had chance to put my hands on 'The History of Big Safari' by Bill Grimes. Great book. And "Freedom Through Vigilance'. So here it is. Still beta version. Not perfect, but since it is via fake pilot..it needs to be this way. Problem is that some birds (same model but different tail number) got different sensor setup. It is about year, block build, modification and God only knows what else. At the begining it is very confusing with numbers and modifications. but it is a great story about Recce 135. So far it can fly. Could be great if it will be usefull in game. But we know that isn't true. So another useless aircraft. Or aircrafts.

Combat Sent Rivet Card

No. I started to collect 42ECS nosearts and also did some decals. But other things came ...and I forgot about it and left it behind unfinished. For now it is somewhere on old pc's recovery disk.

Oh man this is great. Many thanks. Need to find my Sparkvark nosearts project too.

Try to experiment on super high rpm values if ther is only mesh for static rotor. But if there is no mesh for slow/fast rotor spinner, do not expect miracles. Which helo ?

Guys. We have already great C-130 from Dels. For years. Of course it would be great to have new one. But old one is good. And still it is fantastic that he is working on new model. So no rush. On the other hand. How many of you are realy flying those big fat planes in game? It is nice to have it in game but it's sad that they are 'useless'. Are you collecting all those planes for having it or also for flying ? We realy need transport sorties, aerial early warning, combat sar, refuel (as tanker also)... of Course I am also unpatient. So...Any chance on HC version ?

Office Boy known as Rivet Brass

More Hinds ?

I think it is fixed but I belive it is not uploaded. I cant touch SF1 for now and maybe for next few months and cant check it. So I will try to pack lods file and send someone to tests. Then it can be uploaded. To be honest I totally missed it. edit: I will try to prepare lods next week. Other thing is that there is another different G to download somewhere using my cockpit without my permision or even credit. So I am little lazzy to do anything anymore.

Yes. S(Prod) S(Ecas) S(MC) and T, T+ And W are in plans. Not sure about Zulu. It is not so sexy.

Nice. Thanks. But look into this evil eyes. For sure he is bad_ss.

Standalone cockpit for A3D would be great too.

I think spinners etc will work only with parts of the main LOD. Adding radome via fake can work if you will animate it. I guess. Its a fake pilot so if its pilot it can be animated like head.

Standard commands for activating Loach features: LANDING GEAR - Nose light deploy/retract at any speed. Don't forget to retract before shooting. ANIMATION 10 - Show/hide doors. If ever you will fly in cold enviroment and feel uncomfortable, you can fly with front doors instaled, It doesn't do anything. And will not help you. It's just for different look in winter. ANIMATION 1 - 'NVG' You can realy fly low and slow. It needs practice. 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 use rudder and vector thrust control. 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 as far as I know are based on photos and arehistoricaly correct. Two birds flew during operation Urgent Fury 68-17191 and ...(dont rememr right now second bird number). Weapons. XM27 – M134 Minigun M260 7 tube rocket launcher. First years of operation with mk40 rockets and later Mk66 rockets. Since M260 could fire Mk40 and Mk66 rockets here are two types. Early ears older and later new hydra rockets. There is no gunsight for this helo. Acording to one of the pilots they were using "grease pencil mark on the windscreen, . And practicing shooting this way ". So here it is embeded to windshield. During night with 'nvg' it will glow a little. Enjoy and have fun. Jope everything works fine. Report bugs. Will fix ASAP. More six guns and night stalkers will follow.
