LOCKHEED F-117A NIGHTHAWK Ver 1.1
-------------------------------------------------------------
http://combatace.com/files/file/14233-lockheed-f-117a-nighthawk-for-sf2/
By Dels
Dated 3rd September 2013
********************************************************
MAY BE USED IAW COMBATACE FREEWARE LICENSING POLICY
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=26131
********************************************************
DISCLAIMER
----------
This is a third party add on of the F-117A using a model
and cockpit created by me.
The original flight model was made by Fubar512 but modified
by me.
It is designed for and works in the SF2 series of games.
VERSION NOTES
-------------
This package is as close as I could get to representing the
F-117A in service with the USAF at the time of Operation
Desert Storm.
There are some parts which I have compromised the detail
on or removed all together in order to achieve an acceptable
level of detail without reducing game performance or increasing
development time.
An example of this is the arrestor hook. The real F-117A has a door
that jettisons when the hook is deployed. I have modelled the
door to open and close so consequently, the hook is retractable.
Animation Key #1 to open/close the refuel door.
Animation Key #2 to extend/retract the COMM and NAV antennas.
Animation Key #10 to open/close the canopy.
Weapon bay doors are automatic on weapon release.
Brake chute will only deploy while on the ground, below 100kts and
with the airbrake extended.
The ejection seat included in this package comes from ravenclaw's
ACES II Ejection Seat for A-10 vers. 1.0 so all the credit goes
to him.
The original package is available for download from:
http://combatace.com/files/file/12472-aces-ii-ejection-seat-for-a-10/
INSTALLATION
------------
Very simple, extract the files from the archive to your
C:\Users\*NAME*\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 folder.
Next,
You will need to add the following to your Squadronlist.ini
file which should be in your Flight AND Pilot Data folders.
This is so the Unit Names show up. (*NOTE* This is not
essential). Make sure the XXX is replaced with the next
number in sequence in your file:
[SquadronXXX]
Name=415TFS
DisplayName=415th TFS Nightstalkers
Nation=USAF
The 416th TFS should already be in your Squadronlist.ini, but
if not, add the following:
[SquadronXXX]
Name=416TFS
DisplayName=416th TFS Silver Knights
Nation=USAF
*NOTE* If you do not have a Squadronlist.ini file in your Flight
folder you will need to extract it from the MissionData001.CAT
file in your Flight folder using the CatPack utility.
That's it.
You will need Diego's MODUSAF pilot skin for the pilot,
or you can use whatever skin you like by editing the
F-117A_Data.ini file.
REMOVAL
-------
Reverse the above steps.
CREDITS
-------
Aircraft, Cockpit, Skins, Decals and .ini work - Me
FM - Fubar512 (with some modifications by me)
ACESII Ejection seat - ravenclaw
Pilot skin - Old Diego
Testing - The ODS team
THANKS
------
A MASSIVE thanks to Crusader for all his very useful
reference material and support without which this package
could not exist!
Thanks to all on the forum for their continuing and always
useful support.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I have had making it.

ODS Warbirds: A-10A Thunderbolt II (TW Version)
SF2 A-10A (TW Stock Version) with Authentic ODS Livery and Serials
By Viper63a
This pack contains all A-10As serving in Operation Desert Storm with authentic serial numbers. Nose art and other details are my best effort, so it may be off - but it's damn close.
When we started the ODS 30 project, we wanted to use the stock A-10A Thunderbolts. As I finished the stock A-10A, we decided to switch to Spectre's A-10As...So, the stock A-10A mod was scrapped. Alot of work into this stock version, so I decided to release it as is...
~~DO NOT INSTALL THIS MOD INTO ODS 3.0. THAT PACKAGE COMES WITH A VERSION OF A-10A DESIGNED AND CONFIGURED FOR THE ODS PACKAGE!
Source: https://www.dstorm.eu/pages/en/usa/a-10.html
---------------------
Installation...
---------------------
1) Copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder into your mod folder and over-write if required.
2) Update your "...\Flight\SOUNDLIST.INI" with the contents of the "Add A-10 SoundList.txt". Please don't forget to maintain the number sequence in the sound list.
3) Check, ensure (or update) all the squadrons in this pack is in your "SQUADRONLIST.INI" file. Once you look at that file, you will know what to do.
* Please note that some squadrons have multiple CO planes, this is not a mistake. Rather than just picking one CO, I am representing all the COs for that squadron during the period. I may be off on this, so let me know if I have to correct something.
Thanks and Enjoy!

Edit: Fixed some typos in the details and this pop back up to the top...Sorry about that...nothing new...just a typo fix..LOL...

SF2 F-15 Strike Eagle Super Pack Redux 2018
This is a full stand-alone pack, no other mod packs are required. This pack is a REPLACEMENT and NOT an upgrade for FastCargo's F-15 Super Pack. You cannot simply install and over-write Fastcargo's F-15 Super Pack with this pack. Nor, can you over-write this pack with Fastcargo's F-15 Super Pack.

A later versions of those skins are already in this pack, so please don't upgrade this pack with earlier version of Viper63a's skins.

StrikeFighters2 Replacement Hi-Res Spash Screens
StrikeFighters2 Hi-Res Replacement Spash Screens
By Viper
Replacement spash (Initializing, Please Wait) screen for SF2. Uncompress the zip file and copy the *.bmp files into "<Your Install location>\Strike Fighters 2\Menu\" folder...where-ever you installed SF2.
Simple install: Backup your "INITSCREEN.BMP" and rename one of the new BMP you like to "INITSCREEN.BMP" and all your SF2 starts will show the new splash screen.
Complex Install: If you want each of your games to have a different splash screen...Back up and edit the <game>.ini file for the <game>.exe you want to change the splash screen for in the "<Your Install location>\Strike Fighters 2\" folder. Update the "LoadingScreen=" parm with the name of splash screen you want to display on start up: ex. "LoadingScreen=Menu\INITSCREEN (1).BMP".
Note: If you copied the <game>.exe file to some other name, you have to copy the <game>.ini file to the same name as a the <game>.exe file. Also, the splash screen has to be a BMP file...PSD included so you can make your own.
Thanks to "Squid" for the idea and some elements from his screens!
Enjoy!

SF2 Jane's USAF Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens and Music!
SF2 Jane's USAF Hi-Res 1024x768 Menu Screens and Music!
By Viper
The Janes' Combat Flight Simulation Series! Every flight Sim'mer worth their wings remembers those! My favorite was the USAF! This package pays tribute to that old beautiful bird. It took me awhile to create this, so feedbacks and ratings would be highly appreciated...Enjoy!
This mod includes custom "Jane's USAF" themed menu screens, pilots and music. This mod uses customized INI files to drive the sights and sounds of the Strike Fighter 2 interface to look like Jane's USAF.
Unzip the package and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better (More on this later).
If you choose to install this package, I recommend that you back up (copy) your FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this package into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.
* To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder. I designed this package for SF2 Europe, but it should work for all SF2 series games.
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Europe\
* To remove, simply delete the active FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders and replace with the back up copies you made prior to the install.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Extras and additional info...
In the MENU folder, you will find three (3) other folders...
1) Alternates Folder - Contains "Alternate" Campaign, Options, Pilot, and Single Mission screens. If you like one of these better, just copy them to the main "MENU" folder and rename them to the correct names...
CampaignScreen.jpg
OptionsScreen.jpg
PilotRecordScreen.jpg
SingleMissionScreen.jpg
...for whichever files you are changing...
2) Music-Jets Folder - Contains alternate sound package. If the default music is too much for you, just copy the contents of this file into the default "MENU" folder. Most of the music will be replaced with jet sounds.
3) Music-On Folder - Contains the default INI files that will turn on all the music again.
Enjoy!

By Viper 05/17/2020
Note: I removed all the nation sounds from this Menu packs for size reasons. If you intend to install the "VIPER63A HQ Menu Sounds" pack, please install that pack first. Installing the HQ Sound pack over the Menu pack may overwrite some of the menu specific music files. You can always re-install this menu pack to get the menu specific theme music back.
This mod includes custom "vietnam Era" themed menu screens, pilots and (w/ 60s) music. You should unzip this package and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better.
1) Backup (copy) your FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folder. I "highly" recommend that you (if you can) "RENAME" your Menu folder and let this mod create a new Menu folder for you. If you had installed any other menu mods, that may conflict with this Menu mod.
2) To install, simply unzip and copy the uncompressed FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder. Don't forget to back up before loading any mods!
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win10 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...

Installing the HQ Sound pack over the Menu pack may overwrite some of the menu specific music files. You can always re-install this menu pack to get the menu specific theme music back.
I've seen some very nice screens in 1920x1080 mode, so I thought I'd give it try. So here is my "Top Gun" contribution! Special thanks to Homefies and Spectre8750 for their contributions that led me here...
This mod includes custom "Top Gun" themed menu screens, pilots and music. I used the MENU INI files to reuse the music files for different menus. This reduces the size of the package as I don't have duplicates of the same music files for different menus. You should unzip the file and preview the new screens before installing them. I recommend doing this as there are MANY alternate screens I have in there that you might like better.
If you choose to install these screens, I recommend that you back up your FLIGHT, MENU and PILOTDATA folders in the SF2 Mod folder you're installing this mod into. Just in case you want to go back to your original setup.

by Viper63a, dtmdragon, Lel and Fanatic Modder!
-------------------------------------------------------------
This mod was intended as an update to FastCargo's Super Vark Package (See link below), but it can be a standalone mod if you just want the USAF F-111s included in this pack. If you want to install both packs, FastCargo's pack must be installed first as that is the older pack.
You can get FastCargo's pack here...

What's included in this mod pack?
-------------------------------------------------------------
This mod includes the updated individual E/F-111A/D/E/F mod packs + other excellent contributions! I had some requests to put them all into one pack for it would be easier to download. So here they are. All the F-111s in this packs are also available for individual downloads in the following links...if you just want a certain model. The F-111D updates from dtmdragon, Lel and Fanatic Modder are only available in this mod pack.

Installation:
-------------------------------------------------------------
I recommend that you back up your mod folder (or just the Effects, \Objects\Aircraft\F-111* folders). I just make a copy the mod folder, try the mod, if I like it, I delete the backup. If I don't, I delete the new/updated mod folder and rename the old backup/copy back to the original names to reset to my original setup.
* To install, simply unzip and copy the contents of the "To_Mod_Folder" folder (the uncompressed "Effects and Objects" folders only) to your StrikeFighter2 mod folder and Overwrite.
My StrikeFighter2 mod on Win97 64-bit was..(yours may be different)...
C:\Users\<your_id>\Saved Games\Thirdwire\StrikeFighter2 Europe\
Note: You should be able to install this mod into any SF2 series, it doesn't have to be StrikeFighter2 Europe.
* To remove, simply delete the active "Effects and Objects" folders and replace with the back up copies you made prior to the install.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Add F111 SoundList
-------------------------------------------------------------
Lastly, Read the "Add F111 SoundList.txt" readme file on updating your your "Flight\SoundList.ini" file with the custiom F-111 sound files included in this pack.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Thats it - Enjoy!
Please report any bugs or issues via the "Support Topic" link...

Viper 01/18/2019 ------------------------------------------------------------- Original Readmes:
------------------------------------------------------------- SF2 USAF/NATO/Western Cargo Planes by Veltro2K 3/20/2013 -For SF2, Any and All- This is a re-release of these aircraft, as some have stated a desire to have them again.
This pak includes all my reskins, decals, ini tweeks from the various "upgrade paks" I'd released before the aircraft were disappeared.
This pak contains =ONLY= those aircraft used by the USAF, our Allies and other NATO powers. The Soviet/Warsaw Pact transports are someplace else.... Included in this pack are: C-141A Starlifer
C-141B Starlifter
C-5A Galaxy
C-17 Globemaster III
G-222 Spartan (called such in USAF service) Some may be more complete than others, with regards to decals and such. Some are fairly 'untouched', and will need further decaling, etc. Some hangar and loading screens are NOT in SF2 format, and will need redoing (meaning: I never got around to them!).
All the original readmes from the Upgrade Paks (I could find!) are included within this main folder. I'd reccomend reading them, just for fun! Skin and some decal templates (again, when I could find them!) are included. The decal template is for the "ttag" decal, that is for USAF AMC usage.
This pak is quite large, as the skins remain in their bmp format. You can convert to jpg at you convience. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations. Also, the Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, you may not need to reapply this package. But, to be safe, PLEASE check over your aircraft to be sure. Thank You :). **These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. There are/may be some issues with the LOD that may not/cannot be resolved. Period. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created. For now.** ------------------------------------------------ =TO INSTALL: As I always reccomend, unzip the "sf2_veltro2k_cargoplanes_pak.zip" to a temp folder or your desktop or somewhere else that's easy to find Then, simply, copy/paste the Objects folder supplied directly =OVER= your existing /Objects folder.
Copy/Paste the supplied Sounds folder directly OVER your existing /Sounds folder
You'll probably be asked "OVERWRITE?", just say Yes. I've already seperated out the various folders (Aircraft, Decals, etc), so they'll drop right where they're supposed to be. ----------------------------
Notes: Again, as these are considered "heavies", they are best left under AI control, even though they all have cockpits. What can be done with them, I've not too many clues...however, with the SF2 mission builder, they can be inserted into campaigns, single missions and a host of other opportunities that present themselves. Use you imagination. If there is a HUGE hugh and cry, perhaps I can be moved to locate all the Soviet transports Veltro did....if I can find where I put them!

This package =ONLY= contains the data inis for the aircraft listed below. You will still need to locate the original aircraft. It is highly suggested (read: REQUIRED) that you have SF2NA as part of your merged installs, as several of these reference the stock 3W Tu-95 Bear destroyed model. Some reference the stock 3W An-12, Tu-16 or B-52D (SF2V) destroyed models as well. Flight Models remain "as issued"; they've not been touched by me. All New Data Inis Included in this pack are for: C-5A Galaxy
C-17 Globemaster II
C-141A Starlifter
C-141B Starlifter
G-222/C-27 Spartan
E-767
KC-767 (KC-46)
Nimrod MR.1 (RAF ASW/Martime Patrol)
Br.1150 Atlantique (ASW/Martime Patrol)
PB-1W Navy Fortress (USN 1940s/50s AEW - B-17) DC-8 *
B-747 Pan Am"Jumbo Jet" *The DC-8 mods are for the package by Daddyairplanes*
All aircraft have had their data inis reworked to correct, add, move, remove or generally "fix" all the hit boxes, relocate components (ie: fuel tanks, as best as possible inside the airframe) and in general clean up many things that simply escaped notice. The exception here is the Pan Am 747, which gets a partly repainted skin, with all new 100% accurate civil registration number decals (18) AND their matching "Clipper" names. Decal Randomization is "TRUE". The 747 and DC-8s also get an avionics upgrade (GM radar). Some sounds are included; you may have them alread, or not; but I like "to be sure". Please note, some of these aircraft may NOT be in the SF2 downloads section; one will need to Search the SF1/Wo* (1stGen) downloads. Equally important, is to HAVE the aircraft installed =BEFORE= installing this Upgrade Pack. Kinda makes sense, right? <gr> As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. Happy Landings!

==========
To Install: Another reminder: ****HAVE THE AIRCRAFT INSTALLED TO YOUR SF2 MODS FOLDER OF CHOICE =BEFORE= INTALLING THE UPDATE/UPGRADE PACKAGE.**** As always reccomended, unzip the "sf2_v2k_western_heavies_upgrade_pak" to a temp folder or your desktop or somewhere that's easy to find. Copy/Paste the /Objects folder DIRECTLY into the SF2 game install of choice's /Objects folder. It's already divided into the /Aircraft and /Decals sub-folders. You'll asked to "Overwrite?" , just say yes. It'll change nothing. Copy/Paste the included /Sounds folder DIRECTLY over you existing Sounds folder. Allow the "Overwrite". I've included sounds you may already have, but wanted to be sure that (nearly) everything was available to the End User (tm). That should cover it, go fly! -----------------------------

Me, for taking on the job.

see original readmes ------------
Other Notes and Nonsense: Included are the original Data inis, already backed up, in case you End Users (tm) don't appriciate all the hard work that goes into creating, giving, and keeping up the Mods we do. Remember, these mostly exist for "Eye Candy" and Targets (tm), but I felt it was well worth the effort to try and correct the hit boxes. Also, remember they're really not to be Player Usable, even with cockpit, as the Game Engine has no coding for their proper usage. But, have fun anyway! A note about the destroyed model usage: While not 100%, we work with what we have, after all, it's just a burning, dead wreck on the ground. If a 3d Modeler (tm) wants to build crashed birds; go for it, I says! I know the "Clipper **" name decals are in the wrong font, but after spending an hour and half trying to FIND the correct one, just chose to use one of my script fonts. Deal with it <g>. At present, there are NO plans whatsoever to update the individual aircraft packages. End Users are on their own to locate the aircraft in the CombatAce downloads sections and apply this fix-it pack. --------------------------- If you have any problems, questions, comments, I can be reached in the usual places; CombatAce, SimHQ, or p0rn sites.

B-58A Hustler Redux 2018 (Wrench 2013)
New\Updated 2048x skins, Decals & Reverted F-106 cockpit...
Added 1920x Hangar and Loading screens...
New\Updated pilots... All ini files are mostly the same... All credits to the original creators in the original readme (below)...I just polished it..... -------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
------------------------------------------------------------- >>> Please backup and delete your mod folders: "B-58A" in \Objects\Aircraft and \Objects\Decals folder...or you will not see the new skins... Copy the contents of the uncompressed "To_Mod_Folder" folder into your Saved Game mod folder. Overwrite any conflicts... Enjoy! Viper -------------------------------------------------------------
Original Readme:
------------------------------------------------------------- B-58A "Hustler" 7/8/2011 -- For SF2, Any and All -- This is a modification of Pasko's B-58 Hustler, to bring it more in line with SF2 standards.
If you have the 2009 SF2 Update, just install this directly OVER your pre-existing folders, allowing the overwrite. If you don't, don't worry about it. Two skins are included (the same basic skin used twice), with all new 100% Historicaly Correct (tm) serial numbers, listing each operational aircraft that served with the 43rd and 305th Bomb Wings. Unfortunatly, I was unable to break them down each into which served with each of the 6 Squadrons in the 2 Wings, but this should do nicely. There are also 2 cockpits included:
The original SF2 mod by Dave (USAFMTL), that uses the F-106 pit and,
An extensivelly modified F-4 Phantom pit (stock 3W ini only -as the cockpit exists in all versions of the game). This one makes use of many 'moves' to drop items out if sight, and uses the physical external model for the windshield framing.
Neither one is perfect ... this is elaborated further in the "Notes" section, with instructions on what to switch or turn off in the various inis; depending on which you choose. Right now, it's using the Phantom pit, as it really is quite a bit closer than the 106's. In the Loadout ini, several alternate loadouts are listed. These can be accessed from the 3rdWire mission editor screen (for post-Expansion Pak 2 users). Other ini edits repositon the running & landing lights, add 'virtual' flaps (as this aircraft made use of drooping elevons -without the original source file this is impossible to duplicate-), minor engine adjustments, and avionics tweeks. It could also stand a slightly improved FM; the changes and other comments are in the "Notes" section. Weapons are included, the nuke explosion effects are =NOT=. YOu should probably have them from the GunnyPak. Speaking of weapons, a "new" 8kt ARM is included; this is a fictional ARM version of the Genie, more in line with "Fail Safe" and the No.6 Decoy/EW/Escort aircraft, and gives you a SEAD load. Kill SAM sites DEAD!!! Since real decoys don't/can't exist....it's just for fun! There's also and EO version, that can be used for STRIKE or SEAD missions. As always, =READ= the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install. Also, as usual, the expected 'Notes and Other Nonesense' comments by me. This =IS= Required reading -- there are some issues that are addressed there. ---------------------
To Install: As always, unzip the "sf2_hustler_pak.zip" to a temp folder or your desktop, or somewhere' else that's easy to find. Then, simply copy/paste the /Objects folder directly OVER the /Objects folder of your SF2 install of choice. All the folders have already been seperated out into their correct format that SF2 requires/wants/needs/should have for all mods. That's it ... Off you go! -----------------------
Notes and Other Nonsense: Ok, first and foremost of importance ...when carrying the Two Component Pod for Nuke strikes - DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES ORDER YOUR WINGMAN TO 'DROP TANKS'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-
This WILL cause the game to lockup/freeze for some reason, and the only way out is C/A/D to start the Task Manager and kill it that way. You, however, can drop your tank, exposing the multi-megation bomb, This is how it would have been delivered ... the tank was kept until the bomb run, jettisoned, and then the bomb dropped. Apparently, when Wingmen are given the 'attack my target' order, they should automatically dump the externals. (Unfortunately, during STIKE mission testing, it seems that giving your wingman ANY orders like - 'attack my target' may also freeze the game. Don't know what's causing it. Something releated to the nukes/TCP maybe??? Just be advised ... and let the AI handle ALL of these aircraft). They're quite fun for high-mach, low level flying.
Don't forget, too, these aircraft would have operated alone on their missions into the Soviet Union, and NOT in formations. You may want to send you wingmen home on STRIKE, and do the job yourself. Your choice -- but just remember what happens. Also, the aircraft =REALLY= needs a new flight model ... IMO it has too much drag and not enough lift, and has a tendencay to 'tail stall' during hard turns. Of course, it's a frakking BOMBER, and shouldn't be making fighter-like manuvers. There ARE some clipping issues with the Phantom cockpit as used -- the side window frames disappear. As I'm totally opposed to fucking around the the games clipping distances, these have been left alone. You'll just have to not turn you head too far left or right. I've narrowed down the cockpit views to try and prevent this as much as possible, but it's a moot point. Which brings up another point -- my feelings are that even with cockpits and such, bombers should be left under the control of the Games AI -- it does a much better job of putting iron (or uranium/plutonium in this case) on the target. I'm may also update Pete "pappychksix" Fredrico's SEA camo skin, and will release that when it's done. It needs better decals! Howeve, given the excessively SMALL conventional load ... the aircraft may be better used as a Pathfinder, with high-explosive ARMs, LOTS & LOTS of chaff, and super-powerfull jammers. Essentially, and EB-58s, similiar to the EB-66s as used in Southeast Asia. We'll see.... ----------------------
-Swapping Cockits: If for any reason, you want to go back to the 106's pit, here's what you do: Open the B-58A_DATA.ini, and scroll down to the [NOSE] section. You'll see this: [Nose]
ParentComponentName=Fuselage
ModelNodeName=Nose
//ShowFromCockpit=FALSE
ShowFromCockpit=TRUE you'll note I already have the switch in place to turn off the nose, thereby removing the external windows/windshield framing. Simply uncomment the 'ShowFromCockpit=FALSE', and comment OUT the 'ShowFromCockpit=TRUE It would then look like this: [Nose]
ParentComponentName=Fuselage
ModelNodeName=Nose
ShowFromCockpit=FALSE
//ShowFromCockpit=TRUE Save and close the data ini. In the B-58A.ini, where the cockpit statements are, you'll see this: [AircraftData]
AircraftFullName=B-58A Hustler
AircraftShortName=B-58
AircraftDataFile=B-58_data.ini
//CockpitDataFile=B-58_cockpit.ini <---
CockpitDataFile=F-4E_COCKPIT.INI <---
HangarScreen=B-58_Hangar.bmp
LoadoutImage=B-58_LOADOUT.bmp
LoadingScreen=B-58_loading.bmp
LoadoutFile=B-58_loadout.ini
AvionicsDLL=Avionics60.dll
AvionicsDataFilename=B-58_AVIONICS.INI You do pretty much the same thing, commenting out the F-4E cockpit ini, and uncommenting the B-58 cockpit ini. Thusly: [AircraftData]
AircraftFullName=B-58A Hustler
AircraftShortName=B-58
AircraftDataFile=B-58_data.ini
CockpitDataFile=B-58_cockpit.ini
//CockpitDataFile=F-4E_COCKPIT.INI
HangarScreen=B-58_Hangar.bmp
LoadoutImage=B-58_LOADOUT.bmp
LoadingScreen=B-58_loading.bmp
LoadoutFile=B-58_loadout.ini
AvionicsDLL=Avionics60.dll
AvionicsDataFilename=B-58_AVIONICS.INI As stated above, NEITHER is a perfect choice .. the Hustler had a rather unique cockpit, and did not have the radar display or RWR in the pilot's compartment. These was handled by the Radar Navigator (aka Bombadaier) and the Defense Systems Operator seated behind him. For gaming purposes, this will have to suffice. You'll also have to rename the 'xCockpit' folder back to just plane Cockpit. This has all the F-106 cockpit bits. Of course, if one wants to convert to totally AI, simple comment out BOTH cockpt inis, and it'll revert to computer/game AI control. -----------------------
