+eburger68 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 View File Strike Fighters 2: Indian Ocean Strike Fighters 2: Indian Ocean This mod package for "Strike Fighters 2" supplies the aircraft, ground objects, guns, weapons, and effects to support four campaigns centered on the tensions and occasional conflicts between India and Pakistan. Two of those campaigns are fictional and involve the U.S. Navy, which intervenes amidst rising tensions between the two countries in a support of Pakistan. Two are historial -- based on actual wars fought between the two countries. To use this mod, you must have a merged install that includes "Strike Fighters 2" (SF2), "Strike Fighters 2: Europe" (SF2E), "Strike Fighters 2: Israel" (SF2I), SF2I "Expansion Pack 1" (EXP1), "Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam" (SF2V), and "Strike Fighters 2: North Atlantic" (SF2NA). This mod also requires the MirageIIIO DLC aircraft from ThirdWire. Note that this is a COMPLETE mod package and should be installed to its own dedicated Mod Folder. Please do not attempt to combine it with any other major mod such as "NATO Fighters," as you could end up with a non-working install. Also, although this mod shares a number of common elements with the SF2NA Expansion Pack, it is NOT designed to be installed over or merged with that earlier mod. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Minimum Requirements~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To install and play this mod, you must have the following installed as part of your target installation base: REQUIRED:Strike Fighters 2 (SF2), plusStrike Fighters 2 Europe (SF2E), plusStrike Fighters 2 Israel (SF2I), plusStrike Fighters 2 Israel - Expansion Pack 1, plusStrike Fighters 2 Vietnam (SF2V), plusStrike Fighters 2 North Atlantic (SFNA), plusDLC #17 (Mirage IIIO) PATCH LEVEL:Mar2012 or higher This mod does support installations that include the F-4N DLC aircraft from ThirdWire, but it is not required. ~~~~~~~~~~~~Installation~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before installing, please ensure that your target SF2 install meets the minimum requirements laid out above. -----------------------------------* STEP 1: PREPARE THE MOD FOLDER *----------------------------------- This mod requires a separate Mod Folder. Please do not attempt to install this mod over or combine it with any other mods package such as "NATO Fighters" or the SF2V Expansion Pack. - Open your SF2 Installation directory and make a copy of StrikeFighters2 NorthAtlantic.exe. Rename the copied .EXE file to SF2_IndianOcean.exe (or whatever unique name you prefer). - Run the newly copied and renamed .EXE file, then exit back out to the Windows desktop after navigating through a few menus. A custom Mod Folder for your "SF2 Indian Ocean" install will have been created in one of these locations: Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder]Windows Vista: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder]Windows 7: \Users\[username]\Saved Games\ThirdWire\[YourModFolder] ...where [YourModFolder] matches the name of the copied .EXE file that you created. You will install the "Expansion Pack" mod files to your Mod Folder. - Open your Mod Folder and delete the \Objects sub-directory (including everything in it). Now you're ready to install the "Expansion Pack" mod proper. -------------------------------------------------* STEP 2: INSTALL MAIN COMPONENTS TO MOD FOLDER *------------------------------------------------- This is the easiest step. - Unpack the five "SF2 Indian Ocean" archive packages that you downloaded to a temporary location on your hard drive. - Move the *contents* of the \To_Mod_Folder directory from each package to your Mod Folder (created in Step 1 above). (Note: do not simply drag and drop the folder named "To_Mod_Folder" or you will end up with a non-working install.) If you've moved everything correctly, you should have a new \Objects sub-directory in your Mod Folder, along with a few new other sub-directories. ----------------------------* STEP 3: EDIT OPTIONS.INI *---------------------------- This last step involves a bit of text editing, so please pay attention. Open the Options.INI file in your Mod Folder. Locate the "Single Mission" section. I recommend setting the StartYear= and EndYear= as follows: StartYear=1948EndYear=2020 Finally, a little further down you should find the "Campaign" section. Replace it with the following: [Campaign]CampaignName=1987-1021 Southern CalmPlayerService=USNPlayerUnit=VF-103 SluggersAircraftType=F-14A_82Difficulty=HARDLength=NORMALAircraftSupply=NORMALWeaponSupply=LIMITEDLoadCampaign=TRUECampaignSavename=DefaultCampaignSave Save your changes and close the Options.INI file. * * * * * THAT'S IT. Your "SF2 Indian Ocean" mod should now be ready to use. You may consider installing some of the "optional" items as described in the next section. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Optional Installs~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This mod includes a number of "optional" items that can be installed, provided you have the required files to suport them. These "optional" items can be broken down into three types: - Optional Aircraft- Optional Ships- Alternate Campaigns 1. Optional Aircraft-------------------- The \Option\Alt_Aircraft directory includes three optional aircraft that you can install. These alternate aircraft replace the substitutes that are installed by default. Opt Aircraft Substitute------------ ----------F-4N (DLC) F-4N (based on F-4B_67)Marut Su-7BMKL-1049 C-47A (India) How to Install: F-4N: If you have the F-4N DLC installed to your target SF2 installation and wish to use the DLC version instead of the default F-4N, simply remove the substitute F-4N from \Objects\Aircraft in your Mod Folder. Then move the DLC version from \Optional\Alt_Aircraft (part of the first package you downloaded) to \Objects\Aircraft. In other words, swap the DLC version for the default version. Marut & L-1049: The HF-24 Marut and L-1049 require LODs (model files) from the A-Team's download site: http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/Skunworks.html 1. Download the appropriate package containing the necessary LODs from the A-Team's site (link included above). For the Marut you will need to download the HF-24 Marut. For the L-1049 you will need the C-121 Super Constellation. 2. Unzip the package you downloaded to a temporary directory. 3. Copy the .LOD files from the package you downloaded to the appropriate aircraft folder in the \Alt_Aircraft directory. 4. Once you've added the LOD files to the aircraft's folder, you may install the aircraft and accompanying decals from the \Alt_Aircraft directory to your "SF2 India" Mod Folder. Once installed the L-1049 and HF-24 Marut will be automatically used in campaigns. The F-4N is not used in any campaigns but can be used in Single Missions. 2. Optional Ships----------------- Also included are three ships that can also be installed, provided you obtain the correct LODs to support them. Two ships are USN destroyers (the Charles F. Adams class and Farragut or Coontz class) based on the DLG-10 included in the "Yankee Air Pirate 2" and "Yankee Air Pirate 3" commercial mods. To use these optional destroyers you must have the necessary LOD files from "Yankee Air Pirate". The third is the INS Viraat. To use it you must have the LOD files for the HMS Hermes from the SF2 Falklands mod: http://combatace.com/files/file/13296-sf2-falklands-mod-redux/ How to Install: a. For the destroyers, remove the substitutes (named Adams and Farragut) that are installed by default from \Objects\GroundObject in your Mod folder. (These substitute versions are based on the ThirdWire CGN-36.) The Viraat has no subsititute to remove. b. Copy the Coontz2.LOD from "Yankee Air Pirate" to the Adams and Farragut folders in \Optional\Alt_Ships (part of the first package you downloaded). For the Viraat, copy the R12 .LOD files from the Hermes (R12) in the SF2 Falklands mod to the Viraat folder in \Optional\Alt_Ships. c. Create collision LODs for both destroyers by making a copy of Coontz2.LOD and renaming it Coontz2_COL.LOD. For the Viraat the collision LOD is the R12-R2b_COL.LOD that's already included in the SF2 Falklands mod. d. Move the ships from \Optional\Alt_Ships\GroundObject to \Objects\GroundObject in your MOD folder. The campaigns will automatically use the new versions of the USN destroyers. The Viraat is not used in any campaigns but can be used in Single Missions. 3. Conventional Campaigns------------------------- The game engine for SF2NA brought many welcome new features to the world of Strike Fighters 2. As useful as those new features are, the SF2NA campaign engine (i.e., the engine that allows for "naval campaigns" with battle groups and cruise missile strikes) was clearly designed specifically for the SF2NA Iceland/North Atlantic campaign, as it attempts to turn every campaign into North Atlantic, Part II. Once battle groups are "discovered" by the opposing side, the campaign engine will throw everything at that battle group, mission after mission, until all the ships are sunk or the attacking side runs out of aircraft capable of performing strike missions. This can become a bit wearisome, and it is extremely difficult to prevent those battle groups from being "discovered" and attacked. In the standard SF2NA-style campaigns listed above, this usually happens around the fifth mission of the campaign. To give players an alternative to the standard "North Atlantic" duel-to-death naval campaign, I have included standard SF2-style versions of the two fictional campaigns (the 1974 and 1987 campaigns). The "conventional" versions put the campaigns' focus squarely on the battle between India and Pakistan. The Indian government -- based on a combination of military and political reasons -- elects not to directly attack American carrier groups while still engaging U.S. aircraft flying in support of Pakistan.) Note that the two historical campaigns (1965 and 1971) were built from the start as "conventional," non-navalized campaigns. The upside to these "conventional" campaigns is that the campaign engine no longer gets stuck in the same cycle of hurling strike aircraft at the battle groups over and over. The downside is that carrier battle groups no longer move together. The carrier moves, but the escort ships are static terrain elements. Also, the big bombers on both sides tend to make less frequent appearances from their off-map air bases. How to Use the Conventional Campaigns: If you wish to try the conventional campaigns, you will have to install them from \Optional\Alt_Campaigns (found in the directory where you unpacked the "SF2 Indian Ocean" downloads). a. Drag the \Campaigns folder to the Mods folder where you installed the"SF2 Indian Ocean" mod, allowing Windows to overwrite files as prompted. b. Drag the \Terrains folder to the "Black Sea Crisis" Mods folder as well,again allowing Windows to overwrite files as prompted. When you re-start the game, the listed campaigns will play as conventional, SF2-style campaigns. Please note that in the above install process you are effectively converting the India-Pakistan terrain into a conventional SF2 terrain. While the terrain is coverted into a conventional, non-naval terrain, naval aircraft in Single Missions will fly from land bases, not carriers. To convert the terrain back into an SF2NA-style "naval" terrain, copy these files from \Terrains\IndiaPak (in the directory where you unpacked the "SF2 Indian Ocean" download files) to the \Terrains\IndiaPak directory in your Mods folder: IndiaPak.INIIndiaPak_TARGETS.INIIndiaPak_WATER.bmp That's right -- those are the only files that need to be restored. I would recommend restoring the original SF2NA-style campaigns at the same time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Summary of Campaigns~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This mod includes four campaigns -- two historical campaigns plus two fictional campaigns. For each campaign a Red-side and Blue-side version is included, allowing you to fly aircraft from all three nations represented in the campaigns: India, Pakistan, and the USN. Here's a quick summary of the campaigns: 1987-1021 Southern CalmOctober 1987. A joint naval exercise, code-named "Southern Calm,"conducted by the USS Saratoga carrier battle group with the PakistaniNavy is interrupted when the Indian government denounces the jointmaneuvers as cover for a planned nuclear strike by Pakistan usingrecently developed nuclear warheads designed to be delivered byPakistan's U.S. supplied F-16s. 1974-0421 Frowning BuddhaApril 1974. After the Bhutto government of Pakistan publicly denouncesIndia's preparations to conduct a "peaceful nuclear explosion" at thePokhran Test Range and declares its intention to stop the test throughunilateral military action, the Nixon administration dispatches the KittyHawk carrier battle group to the Arabian Sea in support of Pakistan. 1971-1203 India-Pakistan War '71December 1971. After eight months of rising tensions over India'ssupport for the secessionist government of East Pakistan, thePakistani Air Force elects to strike the first blow in a seeminglyinevitable war by launching a pre-emptive attack against airfieldsand other military targets in western India. 1965-0901 India-Pakistan War '65September 1965. The Pakistani military launches Operation Grand Slam,an effort to seize the town of Akhnoor in Jammu and cut off Indiancommunications and supply lines in the disputed region of Kashmir.Although it enjoys initial success, Grand Slam also manages to drawthe Indian Air Force into a conflict that threatens to grow into amajor conflagration. ~~~~~~~Credits~~~~~~~ This mod package draws on the work on dozens of modders who have uploaded the fruits of their labor to CombatAce.com and elsewhere over the years.

+eburger68 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Folks: Although there is only one post/entry in the Downloads section for this mod, there are five files to download. Make sure you grab all five parts on the file download page. Eric Howes Edited July 21, 2015 by eburger68 Quote
+paulopanz Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Eric: Something of interest for your new mod is waiting for approval ......take a look. I can't download it now but I'm sure that is fantastic as usual and I liked this scenery so much .... so thank you in advance. Remember, please, in your credits my very friend Spillone104 who upgraded, fixed (cut black ropes) and restyled old MiG-25RB, RU (why don't use it?) , PU & BM and added many parts on all F-6 family that I only skinned .... Thank you again. Paolo Quote
+eburger68 Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Eole: OK, thanks for the heads-up on the cockpit. I'll adjust the credits. Paulopanz: I'll update the credits to include Spillone104 for those aircraft. Eric Howes Edited July 21, 2015 by eburger68 1 Quote
Gunrunner Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Excellent job, however, two bugs so far : - Mirage 5PA double fuel tanks, as almost usual with your campaigns, the Mirage 5 suffers from unskinned fuel tanks from the model appearing along the skinned ones. - 1965 campaign, Indian side, you'll end up playing Pakistan with Indian planes, I have no clue why. Quote
+eburger68 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Posted July 22, 2015 Gunrunner: Which patch level are you using? Eric Howes Quote
Gunrunner Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 July 2013 (which is probably the reason for the Mirage 5 recurring fuel tank "bug"), with all plane DLCs. Quote
+eburger68 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Gunrunner: OK, thanks for the info. The campaign bug is an easy fix -- one missing 0 (zero) in the numbering of units (the C-47A_PAF). That's what I get for making a last minute edit. Updated campaign files are here: http://combatace.com/topic/86626-sf2-indian-ocean-fixes/ I suspect the problem with the double fuel tanks affects more than just the DLC Mirages -- probably the Mirage 5F and Mirage 5D models as well. I'll have to get my hands on DATA.INIs for all the July 2013 Mirage deltas to check them. Eric Howes Edited July 22, 2015 by eburger68 Quote
+Menrva Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 My congratulations to eburger68 for another well put package, and of course many thanks to the CombatACE members who contributed. I can confirm the Mirage double fuel tanks bug with the latest SF2 patch, indeed it's the data.ini Quote
+paulopanz Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) Very good job! But as I spent a lot of time in Indo-Pak mod buiding up I'ld suggest something to upgrade: - Use new MiG-25RB lod (no shadow bug) by Spillone, data, loadout etc. (not only my new skin) http://combatace.com/files/file/14821-mig-25rb-foxbat-b/ - Add new MiG-25RU (no shadow bug) by Spillone & me http://combatace.com/files/file/14829-mig-25pu-ru-foxbat-c/ - Pakistani Taimur Class Destroyer in my Cavalier repack http://combatace.com/files/file/13626-cavalier-dd-class/ - Use my new An-12 IAF skins and bomber data/loadout.ini (Ghostrider883 approved) as IAF used them as bombers too http://combatace.com/files/file/15637-an-12-cub-bonus-an-8-camp/ - As further option consider PAF Attacker FB.1 by Spinners (You will need A-TEAM lod) http://combatace.com/files/file/12426-supermarine-attacker-fb1-pakistan-air-force/ - Consider too outstanding Chetak pack by Ghostrider883 (As Alouette IIII porting, it needs better and usable FM) http://combatace.com/topic/81474-hal-chetak-packagebeta/ - There are Indian & Pakistan Medals in my old I-P install, I saw new Indian ones by Ghostrider883 in DL section. Maybe He could upgrade the Pakistan's too and make a complete set. Thank You! Edited July 23, 2015 by paulopanz Quote
+eburger68 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) Paul: Thanks, but I've already got the Taimur class covered. Also, the Chetak is unflyable, by AI or player, and I don't have the patience right now to fix yet another broken helo flight model. I'll take a look at the An-12 skins, which look nice. The medals I'll also consider, but only as a matching set -- both nations. The one thing I'd really like to see is proper IAF/INAS skins for the L-1049. I made decals, but the textures themselves still need work. If you wanted to take a crack at those, I'd be happy to add those in. Best, Eric Howes Edited July 23, 2015 by eburger68 Quote
+paulopanz Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 You're right the Alouette III / Chetak (a great model) is unflyable. Someone, who knows how, should take care of its FM ....... I' haven't seen Pakistan Cavalier DD in game .... I have both sides medals etc. but I think Sandesh could improve and make a better job for you ..... About super constellation PM to me the skin You'ld like and I'll take a try. Paul Quote

I looked for this from a long time (when Alouette was ealised .....). Outstanding work my friend! Thanks a lot! Maybe you could upgrade the original one for SF-2, adding all the skin made .... You made me happy. 1 Quote
+eburger68 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Posted July 23, 2015 Eole: I will get it removed in the next day or so. But this is a mess of your own making. So far as I can tell, the three BR.1050 packages and the Guardians of the GIUK Gap campaign all have the same problem. This really should have been fixed months ago. Eric Howes Quote
Eole Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) I know that Eric I made a mistake (not reading the OV-1D pit Read me file) I promised to Cesar the removing his cockpit in the further Br.1050 packs ... + a procedure to remove his pit from the previous installations not much I just look at you mod this morning and see you've included the Br.1050 in it (in compliance with the CA chart) apart that I've no skill in 3D modeling Ed is not a cockpit specialist so I've replaced in the 1.3 version (still WIP) the Cesar's pit by the Foxmonter's S-3B one (with lot of of INI's tweak) Patrick Le Naour Edited July 23, 2015 by Eole 1 Quote

Eric Howes I suggest to leave the Alizè in the pack as an AI plane, with a temporay or without any pit. Who has access to A-TEAM site will grab the actual pit and use the plane. .... but my wishes are for a proper outstanding Stary's cockpit soon. Quote
+eburger68 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Posted July 23, 2015 Paul: That's exactly what I'm going to do when I get a chance to re-upload this mod. And that aircraft will stay as an AI aircraft. Eric Howes Quote
Wrench Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 so, let me get this straight .... the same cockpit that's in all 3 separate versions of the Alize, available here at CA, is now no longer acceptable for use in Eric's mod? Quote
Wrench Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 So, we'll need to update those 3 as soon as possible. Perhaps I should unapproved them for time being? ------------------ well, there are several alternative pits; while not perhaps "looking" quite right.. Foxmonter's S-3B Viking (will need meshes moved) as mentioned before stary's NF Mosquito pit (will also need meshes moved/removed) the difficult part is, both those pits are for twin engine aircraft. this is one the reasons I keep saying to folks "don't use any of their stuff for mods here at CA." It's just not worth the bullshit. Quote
+eburger68 Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 Folks: The SF2 Indian Ocean mod has been updated and refreshed. Here's what's changed: - OV-1D cockpit removed from BR.1050 - 1965 campaign national marking bugs fixed - Mirage5PA model drop tanks bug fixed - minor fixes/updates to two-seat Mirage deltas - An-12 skins from Paulopanz added Later this evening I will be posting a small package containing the fixes & updates for those who don't want to re-download entire mod.
