La Fayette class frigate


This model represents the La Fayette class frigate of the French Navy, in service from 1996 to present. Referred to as a stealth frigate, the La Fayette's angled design and radar-absorbent composites greatly reduce its radar cross section.

 

Five La Fayette class ships are now in French service, and export variants have been sold to Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore (not included in this package).

 

The La Fayette is armed with a modernized 100mm gun, 20mm close in weapons, eight MM40 Exocet missiles, and eight Crotale missiles (with reloads). The flight deck can support one medium helicopter.

 

See the readme for full details and credits. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or constructive criticisms regarding this model, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you!

 

 

Special thanks to FRPignon for the hull number decals.

Thank you all for downloading. This model has been updated to fix an issue with the missile reloads that I just noticed.

 

You can either replace the data file from the updated package I uploaded, or manually make the following changes to the data.ini file.

 

Under the [super] section:

...

SystemName[010]=Missile1
SystemName[011]=Missile2
SystemName[012]=Missile3
SystemName[013]=Missile4
...
 
 
At the SSM launchers near the end of the file:
 
[sSM1]
SystemType=MISSILE
GunnerID=5
MissileID=1
WeaponTypeName=MM40
WeaponPosition=-2.055,-2.1,12.71
ShowMissile=FALSE
IndependentPitchMovement=FALSE
ReloadCount=3
ReloadTime=1.0
 
...
 
[sSM2]
SystemType=MISSILE
GunnerID=6
MissileID=1
WeaponTypeName=MM40
WeaponPosition=2.055,-4.1,12.71
ShowMissile=FALSE
IndependentPitchMovement=FALSE
ReloadCount=3

      F-19 Stealth Fighter
      September 13th, 2022 (1st Release)
      by Julhelm, Dels and Menrva
      >For Strike Fighters 2 games
      This is a rework of Julhelm's fantastic F-19 stealth fighter 3d model, now featuring a centre strut canopy structure (thanks to a cheap trick of repainting the bubble canopy glass) and a new cockpit, a purposely modified F-117A cockpit by Dels.
      Among the improvements, it now features proper hit boxes and collision points, proper location for position lights and landing gear lights, reworked skins, aircraft characteristics and loadouts meant to resemble the ones of Microprose's F-19 Stealth Fighter game.
      It still features two internal weapon bays (unlike Microprose's exaggerated four bays), but with properly reworked limits; you can have 4x Sidewinders or 3x AMRAAMs per bay, 2x bombs or AGMs depending on their overall weight and size. A 20mm cannon is on the nose with 680 rounds, and an extra 1,900 lbs fuel cell has been added for a total of 11,800 lbs of fuel; non-afterburning engines are used for stealth reasons. An (invisible) arrester hook has been added as well, since Microprose's version could also operate from aircraft carriers.
      Skins feature the 83-019 serial number and an F letter on the vertical tails; these two details come from a picture of a menu screen in one of the releases of Microprose's F-19 Stealth Fighter game, where you could choose between an F-19 or an F-117A. More serial numbers couldn't be featured as the 3d model of the aircraft does not support decals without decal bleeding issues. Just imagine piloting the only example of F-19 in very black operations!
      Three new skins were created: a Prototype Black skin created from the specular texture Julhelm had made, and Desert and Arctic camo skins made by modifying the USAF Euro camo skin created by kblomkvist.
      NOTE: Strike Fighters 2 has no proper IRST functionality, so for the purpose of launching AMRAAMs a very basic ACM radar mode has been added to the avionics file of the aircraft. Moreover, the default cockpit features an obtrusive front strut which makes the cannon difficult to use. You can activate an alternative cockpit LOD in the relative INI file.
      >What-if Backstory
      During the development of the Have Blue demonstrators, Lockheed's Skunk Works division also conceived a third experimental stealth aircraft featuring an entirely different shape, rounded fuselage and wings, and meant to have air combat capabilities. The CIA got wind of it, classifying it at the highest possible level and using it as a cover-up story for the stealth aircraft that came to be the F-117A Nighthawk. In 1986, the Testor Corporation released a plastic model aircraft kit, calling it the "F-19 Stealth Fighter". Jane's All the World's Aircraft 1987-88 book listed an RF-19 as a Lockheed development project. The conceptual drawings of it were generally similar to Testor's design. In 1988 a combat flight simulator game, F-19 Stealth Fighter by Microprose, was released just moments before the public unveiling of the F-117A Nighthawk attack aircraft, which is said to be what it sought to represent. The reality is that a single F-19 existed and, during secret flights over Groom Lake, this experimental aircraft showed unique strength and was deemed a super-aircraft. Due to its funding and mantaining costs, the project was officially abandoned in 1983. Unofficially, this single example of F-19 took part in black operations all over the world until 1997. It is named F-19A Nightowl, internally nicknamed "Flying Frisbee" for its rounded shape and also referred to as "Ghostrider" for allegedly being affiliated with the 416th TFS Ghost Riders flying the F-117A Nighthawk.
      "The view would have been frightening to most men, there were solid clouds overhead at 4000 feet. He flew through the showers, he more heard than saw on this black night and the dark outlines of the trees appeared to reach up and snatch at his speeding fighter. Only a madman would be so low on such a night. 'So much the better' he smiled in his oxygen mask" - Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising

      This is a simple mod of the amazing F-117A by Dels to create a fictional Nighthawk GR.1 in service with the Royal Air Force in the 1989-2010 timeline. I made this for myself but I'm releasing it 'as is' following a request.

      INSTRUCTIONS
      1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the NighthawkGR1 folder into your Aircraft folder.
      2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the NighthawkGR1 folder into your Decals folder.
      That's it!
       
      CREDITS
      As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
      Big thanks to Dels for bringing us the F-117A and for generously uploading the templates.
      And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

      Mirage F1CT standard T1
      This mod is dedicated to BPAO, nothing would have been possible without him.
      The Mirage F1CT is a ground attack version of the Mirage F1C-200. Following their replacement in the air defence role by the Mirage 2000, the French Air Force had a number of surplus Mirage F1C-200s, and in 1988 it launched a conversion programme to turn these aircraft into interim ground attack aircraft to replace elderly Mirage IIIEs and Mirage Vs. The Mirage F1CT program brought the avionics of the F1C up to the standard of the F1CR, with the radar upgraded with the additional air-to-ground modes of the Cyrano IVM-R, an improved navigation/attack system fitted, with a laser rangefinder fitted under the nose. It was fitted with new Mk 10 ejection seats, while improved radar detection and warning devices, chaff/flare dispensers, and secure radios were also added. It gained the ability to carry a variety of air-to-ground weapons, including rockets, cluster bombs and laser-guided bombs, while retaining the F1Cs air-to-air armament (Wikipedia).
      F1CT1 specifics:
      R550, no R530, S530F, AUF2, no CLB4, no CLB8 radio-altimeter Inertial Navigation System Seat Mk10 RWR sherloc AAR probe laser ranging TMV630 Barax, Barracuda, Phimat, Corail gondolas (P0 station)  CC420 pods capability RPL201 EFT no left gun double wingtip position lights A big thank to all on Combatace and C6 forums that helped us solving issues we encountered.
      Any omission in credits is totally unwanted, if I forgot somebody, let me know, I will correct this.
      This addon is and will in all cases remain freeware.
      Released under CombatAce Fair-Use terms.
      Enjoy
