We are proud to present the F-5a(G), the Norwegian variant of the American F-5a Freedom Fighter. This Volume depicts the following models; the Royal Norwegian F-5a(G) in its 1966, 1973, 1985 and 1991 versions, and the RF-5a(G) in its 1969 and 1973 versions; each with its own unique characteristics and cockpit/avionics. It has been our goal to provide a highly detailed model and texture base that preserves the beautiful lines of this aircraft; and to engineer a flight model and a cockpit/gauge file-set, which add to the immersion of the flying experience within Strike Fighters 2.
NOTE: See the included multi-page RNoAF_F-5a(G)_Flight-Manual.pdf which includes among other interesting information, instructions on how to use Northrop gun sight and how to operate the recon features in the RNoAF RF-5a versions for “exciting” reconnaissance missions.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
*Because this pack is split into 3 7zip files, you need only unzip the first file (RNoAF_F-5a(G)&RF-5a(G)_Version1.0.7z.001); the other 2 will unzip automatically.
1. Copy the contents of the "To Mods Folder" to your SF2 Mod root directoryof choice, which is typically:C:\Users\user\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2.
Allow directory merging and overwrites, provided the over-writes pertain to "fake pilot" entries, as well as weapons made by ravenclaw_007, which are included in this and many other releases.
2. Add the entries of "ADD_TO_SOUNDLIST.txt" to your SOUNDLIST.INI (located inthe "user\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2\Flight" folder).If one doesnot exist, then you will need to extract it using the 3rdWire CAT extract utility. You are simply required to substitute the "XXX"s with the next sequential number in the sound file section of the file.
NOTE 1:
One frame-rate friendly option for those with older hardware is to use the Next level of Detail Model as the primary external model. This simply involves changing the first line in the F-5A_RNoAF_XX.ini
from this..
[LOD001]
Filename=F-5A_STANDARD.LOD
to this..
[LOD001]
Filename=F-5A_STANDARD_002.LOD
Much effort was made to provide those with lower end systems an alternative lower poly-model to be able to enjoy the F-5a, so please take advantage of this _002.LOD model should you experience frame-rate issues. While it is not as "rounded" as the higher-poly version, it is nonetheless, just as detailed and extensive.
NOTE 2:
For those who may find loading times excessive, the .jpg files in the texture folders can be reduced to 50% of their size without sacrificingtoo much surface detail.
