NTO Polar Vortex V2
-
Thanks to Luke and Starrats for incorporating the Eurofighter Typhoon modifications into this latest v2.4 release of NTO PV.
The changes introduced for the aircraft are:
- EF2k_GE renamed to Eurofighter
- EF2k_UK renamed to Typhoon (FGR.4 in the TE planes list)
- New flight model with engine optimized fuel flow NOTE that the current fuel flow tables have no multiplier as values reflect combined flow of both engines (will need to be changed in a future release of the FM)
- Corrected weight and fuel load data (part of flight model)
- Modified control surfaces behaviour (deflection angles, symetric foreplane movements only, no flaps…)
- Modified AI behaviour for Eurofighter aircraft
- Corrected weapon loadouts reflecting P2Eb weapon load for German and P3Ea weapon load for British aircraft
- GBU-48/49 Enhanced Paveway II dual-mode bombs added (laser + INS/GPS guidance); GBU-49 substitutes Paveway IV of the real aircraft due to the lack a of suitable 3D model for the later
- GBU-48/49 bombs are modified copies of the GBU-12/16 Paveway II LGBs which they are based on
- Squadron Stores updated to make all weapons available in the campaign
- Max. 4 ARM limit for ATO, albeit ARM not available (provision only)
- Added 2 external tanks as standard loadout for ATO (all missions)
- Slightly altered AI weapon release altitudes and BVR engagement range
- Updated sensors (radar, IRST, RWR)
- Correct Chaff/Flare dispenser locations, vectors and quantity
- AVS options tailored to best match Typhoon (not all available options are of relevance to the aircraft)
- RAF skins for old 3D model used by UK version (Typhoon) representing 3rd and 11th Sqn A/C
- Typhoon cockpit folder with stock EF 3D pit added and correct wing model assigned
-
Looks like I’m flying in the snow today.

Whoah after coming back from our tour in Somalia, flying Polar Vortex is a rude awakening! SU-35s… SA-10s… SA-17s… bucket of ice water in your face!

I did not check PV2 in F4browse (perhaps even not compatibile with it), but in original Nordic SU-35 is one of the largest ACs regarding RCS.

I think Su-35 should be rather reduced, compared to “canard Flankers” and “vanilla Flankers”
Sorry I posted it here, perhaps in this theater its different compared to Nordic original. -
Preview on WIP, objectives added in Russian territory
-
Finally! Russian towns! Can get some revenge to Russians in campaigns, instead of just liberating Finland

yes! so it’s doable for missing obj in Hainan island / Vnam theater.

oh great, even more russian airbases haha
awesome work man -

can’t survive in that environ without NOE or LO for sure.

Great! Like the old DID EF2000, it’s really a different music than any DPRK or Serbian air force.
Many Kisses!

Yep, those Russians can be very challenging, but if you try flying as Russia , you really can feel the sting of those meteor missiles!

@APOLLO:
https://www.businessinsider.com/sweden-built-a-russian-fighter-jet-killer-and-stealth-is-irrelevant-2019-2MS20 upgraded GripenC can carry Meteor as well….

First post updated
-
The US-born, breakthrough fifth-generation F-35 Lightning IIs Joint Strike Fighters are set to become armed with the powerful Meteors as well.
-
There is one knew airbase in Russia now and Port towns around Russian Lakes and Northern coast. I reverted coast to an earlier version, because it looks better.
I was thinking about adding in old highway tiles along with new roads, but side by side the two types just don’t look right. -
IIRC Czech AF Gripens have MS20 for about year now. But our gov/military still own Sidewinder/Amraam-C5 only for AA.
There are near future plans to expand the weaponary tho.The most interresting are radar upgrades:
Avionics enhancements:

Added link for a fix in the first post. Fixes are not critical, just “cosmetic”.

Polar Vortex v2.5 test.
blue side wins on Day 8 0220 by capturing some obj in Muonio pak.
In first four days, blue soon established air superiority and GU on major offensive, then i left 3d world and let cam in 2d at 16x time compression. However for unknown reason ALL blue GUs refused to move further from day 4 on, though ground op remained targeting at Muonio.
after a long boring while i cannot resist giving orders to GUs on Day 7- once few GU started moving, more GU back to life and finally captured key obj, won on Day 8 0220.
it could have won around day 5 or 6 if GUs keep advancing.PS:
- great job adding Russian obj. i suggest blue win condition could be edited to capture some finland-russia border obj, like recovering finland.
- more red GU can be placed at finland-russia border and triggered as reinforcement once blue captures some finland obj.
- EF-18G tail texture bug.
- Ned please add “small hotspot map”.
- three sq su33 could be overloaded on Kuz.
