Installation

----------------------------------

Install with Modman 7 or higher.

 

Features

----------------------------------

This mod presents Saab planes Gripen, Viggen and S340 in these flyable versions :

-> JAS-39C & D on same F-16A slot. Versions are chosen by selecting dedicated skins in the mission editor.

-> JA-37D (fighter), AJS-37 (attack) and SF-37 (reco) Viggen planes on three dedicated slots based on Mirage 2000 flight model. Each version has its own payloads and skins. The three version are directly available in the mission editor.

-> Saab 340 with civilian and AEW&C (S100B) versions in E-2C slot.

 

Gripen Upgrades From V1

----------------------------------

-> The plane can now use BOTH undercarriage and airbrakes.

-> Only one contrail !

-> AIM-120s are worn under their dedicated LAU-127 rack.

-> MiG-29s available with their genuine features.

-> Three nations added : Sweden, Hungary and Czech Republic.

 

Bugs and Limitations

----------------------------------

-> Saab 340s are flyable but AWACS abilities are only available with AIs.

-> A little Viggen bug with mission editor : once you open a mission with Viggens, they all are marked as "AJS-37" even if they are JA-37 or SF-37. Don't care about this, if no changes are recorded, the mission keeps correct.

-> Rearming on parking is able with Gripens, but AIM-120s can't be reloaded actually.

Others elements

----------------------------------

Anti-Ship Strike

----------------------------------

RBS-15 anti-ship missile is simulated by Kh-29T to destroy ships, including moving ones. You can operate like this :

-> Go to GND mod (7)

-> Select Kh-29T weapon (D)

-> Switch on TV (O)

-> Lock missile once (Enter)

-> Look for target on TV. Once centered, zoom in and lock again.

-> Wait for launch authorization... :)

 

Viggen "Reverse"

----------------------------------

To simulate Viggen's reverse (not effective, but reverse elements are animated), check this :

-> Gear out.

-> Airbrakes out.

-> Break hard to compress nose gear. It will make the reverse's nozzle to close/

 

Network Warning

----------------------------------

The file check system may cause the mod not working on some public servers.

 

Note to skinners

----------------------------------

Extra slots for Gripen and Viggen skins are available. They need to bo activated by editing the \Scripts\Database\db_countries.lua file.

Don't forget to edit mirage2000.skins and f-16a.skins files if necessary.

Hey Folks ! Show us some ScreenShots !

je dirais mкme plus : BRAVO !!

 

LOL Dupont!! Et bravo pour la release! :thumbup:

Juste une phrase... Sur le cul!!!

 

Un grand merci pour ce travail qui, certe après un certain temps(vue les problèmes que pose FC2 et la difficultés du taf ca se comprend, meme si ce n'est pas le cas de tout le monde de pigé ca...), est comme les précédents, toujours de qualité!!! :thumbup:

Nice work!!

Superb Viggen Tigrou, well done.

Very good work!!!

Fantabulous!

Awesome work!!!

Awesome work! The Viggen sure brings back some memories... :thumbup:

Thanks to all.

 

But the story is not over. Other guests should come soon... ;)

The mod is absolutely stunning! Im guessing the Draken is next? ;)

 

A bit off topic, but am I correct if I say that the Rafale model that the Ada guys showed off at VFAT last year, was one of your models? If so, is it available for download anywhere?

This mod is great. ¡¡ Outstanding work but...

 

It is posible to make it compatible with the F-15 mod.? Every time i install the Grippen mod i loose the skin selection options of the F-15.

 

I think this is because the file db_countries.lua.

 

Thanks for this great work.

I think is should be easier to copy the entire F-15 section from one db_countries file to another...

 

Then, the Viggen PSD Templates are available now.

It's true, I designed the main frames of this plane. But it's still a WIP project who should be released with an AdA Mod pack... or not...
