Russian Missile Library (Part I) for CFS2

This package includes 4 AAMs, which act as timed rockets, and 2 AGMs, which act as normal rockets- although they will inflict greater damage than the stock CFS2 rockets.

The AAMs

R-23 (AA-7) ‘Apex’

Formerly the primary medium range AAM in the Russian arsenal the R-23 was (and still is in some cases) most commonly carried on Mig-23 Fighter/Interceptor aircraft. This is the SARH version of the missile although like most Russian AAM’s it is also available in IRH form. The missile has an effective range of 25-35km and carries a 25kg warhead.

R-27 (AA-10) ‘Alamo’

The most widely used MRAAM in soviet service at the moment the R-27 can be carried on all Mig-29 and SU-27 variants and also in some cases on aging Mig-23s and Mig-25s. The R-27 has comparable size and performance to the Western Aim-7 Sparrow though it can also be fitted with long range booster packs and an IR seeker head can replace the standard SARH seeker.

R-60 (AA-8) ‘Aphid’

The R-60 is a small missile but offers unparalleled manoeuvrability for close range engagements although its IR seeker head is inadequate for tracking off bore sight/hard-turning targets. Overall the missile is comparable to the early second generation Aim-9 Sidewinder, though with shorter range.

R-73 (AA-11) ‘Archer’

Developed from the R-60 for use on the Mig-29 and Su-27 the R-73 is similar in size to the Aim-9L Sidewinder or Israeli Python although it is far more agile than either of them. Designed with a wide-angle seeker head compatible with helmet mounted targeting systems the R-73 is possibly the best SRAAM in service with any Airforce at the present time.

The AGMs

KH-29T (AS-14) ‘Kedge’

KH-29L (AS-14) ‘Kedge’

These two missiles offer similar performance and destructive power. The KH-29T TV guided version has max range of 12km and the KG-29L semi-active laser guided version has slightly shorter range, 10km, due to the more complex guidance system used which effectively increases missile weight and reduces fuel capacity. These missiles can be carried by most modern Russian attack aircraft (SU-24, SU-25, SU-27, SU-32/4 and Mig-29 but to name a few).

Installation

Treat these files as aircraft- put them in your …./Combat Flight Simulator 2/Aircraft folder.

To use theses weapons in game you will need to add them to an aircrafts .dp file (I’ll assume the aircraft you wish to use already has one). Open the .dp file with a text editor of some kind (notepad works fine) scroll down to the [Payloads] section then do the following:

1) add another payload identity eg. payload.x=%payload_name.x% where x is an integer one higher than the previous entry.

2) Define the payload specifics e.g.

[PAYLOAD.x]

mount.0=wep_pylon_p38_wing, 1, -1

mount.1=KH-29T, 1, 3

mount.2=wep_pylon_p38_wing, 1, -1

mount.3=R-73, 1, -1

This will mount one KH-29T on hardpoint 1 and and R-73 on hardpoint 2 (note weapon name must be the same as its folder name)

3) add a payload name string e.g. "payload_name.x"=Russian Missiles

Please note- these instructions assume some basic knowledge of .dp editing- if you wish to learn more about editing .dp files download my tutorial from www.combatfs.com.

Legal

These files are freeware- you may not charge any money for their use or distribution. These files may be distributed freely as long as they remain in the original .zip file with their original documentation. You may not modify these files in any way without my permission (just ask, I probably won’t refuse). If you are distributing an aircraft which includes these weapons in its .dp file you must inform me (I like to know if people like my files enough to use them or not).

Finally I am not responsible for anything that happen directly or indirectly because of the download and/or use of these files. By using them you agree with this legal statement.
