P3DV4+ Grumman S-2A/C Tracker Airtanker Pack 2026-07-09

This pack houses not only the single updated S-2A airtanker released by Milton Shupe and crew here at SOH, but it also includes 4 more additional modified airframes of the S-2 Tracker as it flew with various agency operators across North America. With Milton's permission the base aircraft was updated with PBR for P3Dv4 and newer versions of P3D as well as expanded the airtanker models to include the S2F1 (S-2A) variant flown by Conair known as the "Firecat." Another special Canadian created version by Field Aviation, which is based on the licensed De Havilland CS2F Tracker (S-2C) distinguished between it's counterparts by it's more protruding retardant tank. The other variants represent different nacelle cap designs utilized by California Department of Forestry (CDF) and versions created by Marsh Aviation. Despite there being several iterations of the radial S-2 Tracker tankers, they all revolved around a similar 800 gallon capacity fire retardant tank. They also being significantly lighter than their military variants saw speed boosts in both cruise and top speeds. A top speed of 295mph or 256 knots and a cruise speed of 195 mph, or about 170 knots. The pack houses fleet repaints for Government of Saskatchewan in both it's early yellow scheme and later white schemed S-2Cs and Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources. Early CDF contract liveries for Sis-Q for S-2As from the 1970s and a CDF livery from the early 1990s. In addition, it also houses 2 S-2A paints representing the only 2 flyable S-2A airtankers still flying fire missions in the USA. Those being former CDF T-95 now flying contract firefighting missions with the state of Kansas and soon to join her will be former T-154 from Marsh Aviation. 5 model variations total and 21 aircraft to choose from. Sounds were also slightly updated as were flight performance, blur disks, weights, and contact points. Original repaints are compatible, but may need slight modification to textures to work with new models.
