  1. "Green Hell" VietnamSEA map modification

    This is my second attempt in giving default map a better, rich-environment look.
     
    This mod adds thousands of trees and bushes in the open farmlands, new, dense jungle in the mountains, little vietnamese huts (ok, not really), paddy-fields, ruins, temples, buffalos and so on.
     
    I focused my work on variety of trees and bushes, not the buildings. City set WILL be released later.
     
    ________________________________________________________________________________
    YOU NEED Brain32's high resolution VietnamSEA repaint for this to work properly!

  2. *update 2.0* Siberian Sky -- Aurora for Missions or Terrains

    Updated aurora 2.0 completely replacing previous versions, hopefully with better instructions and a deeper understanding of how these effects work. There are now two methods of aurora creation:
     
    (1) A terrain target object that generates aurora effects. This was derived from the stock power plant generator and the smokestack effect.
     
    (2) A moving ship that generates aurora effects during ship motion. This was derived from the stock Tanker ship and the ship movement effect.
     
    The aurora are vertical hanging sheets -- vertical sprites -- at roughly correct height and colours, and these can be changed easily. Red only and green only also look great. The aurora images or "particles" fade into and out of view in about 20 seconds -- speed up game time to see a most pretty thing. This effect was made for my new 6000km strategic map, but can be used in any standard size map. Other aurora ideas will be covered at the ThirdWire thread below...

  12. Cirrus clouds for SF/WoV maps (beta) SP4 update

    Original cirrus clouds, replaced by these newer effects here...
     
    ~> combatace.com/files/file/6567-siberian-sky-cirrus-clouds-for-missions-and-terrains/
     
    ----
    original description...
    :
    :
    *Beta* test, updated for SP3 and SP4 generation of Patches, of very large layers of high altitude cirrus clouds that can move across SF/WoV maps and can be set to any desired altitude (you can fly through these clouds). Cloud effects are created by a type of "ship" object that follows a waypoint across a map. Read the Install file, it describes what's going on here.
     
    The website is a thread on this at the ThirdWire SF/WoV forums.
     
    Thanks to TK/ThirdWire and all the modders who made this Aw-Sim possible. Thanks to Polak for encouraging me in this.

  13. City_tiles_for_EuroWW2_SPRING

    Lo primero y como siempre, he de agradecer sus trabajos a TOD@S los que haceis las mod, pues sin vosotros nada de esto seria lo mismo.
     
    Igualmente, recordar que todo lo que he presentado son adaptaciones de trabajos ya existentes, que he confeccionado para disfrute propio, pero que me parece
    justo compartir. Por lo tanto corresponde a otros el merito de este trabajo.
     
    Dejo esta 2ª, y en principio, ultima actualizacion del repintado de EuroWW2. En ella no hay mas que 4 nuevos azulejos que corresponden a las zonas que
    rodean a las ciudades. Con estos azulejos los edificios y arboles de las afueras de las ciudades se corresponden con lo que hay dibujado en el suelo.
     
    Instalacion: descomprimir en la carpeta "Terrain".
     
    Un detalle que olvide en "Water_for_EuroWW2", tener en cuenta que hay que instalar EN ESTE ORDEN:
     
    1º, "Buildings&trees for euro WW2 SPRING".
    2º, "Water For EuroWW2 SPRING".
    3º, "City tiles for EuroWW2 SPRING".
     
    Saludos a tod@s.

  14. Civil Mod "FireFighters"

    CIVIL MOD "FIREFIGHTERS"
    =======================
     
    I.
    The CIVIL Mod "Firefighters" is made for FIRST EAGLES.
     
    ==============================================
     
    II.
    I made this mod for my son, because i believe that it is not really good if a 7 years old boy is dropping bombs or firing missiles or shooting guns. So i decided to make a civil version of TK's sims. That my son is a fan of the Feuerwehr (fire brigade in english), gave me the idea to make a mod for the flying firefighters who use agricultural planes or old military planes like the Tracker, the B-26 etc to fight against wood fires all around the world.
     
    This mod includes a modified version of my Vogesen terrain, the Z-37 Cmelak agricultural airplane and modified files to make modern planes usable in FIRST EAGLES.
     
    You can fly firefight missions (mostly suppress woodfires), Search missions (SAR) and you can drop parachutists.
     
     
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
     
    III. INSTALLATION
     
    1.) You need a clean installation of First Eagles (FE)
    2.) Open folder objects/aircraft and delete all subfolders (planes)
    3.) Open folder objects/groundobject and delete all subfolders (Groundobjects)
     
    4.) Unzip the Civil Mod into your civil First Eagles installation
     
    5.) to make the O-1E Cessna and the C-130 usable you must include the files O-1E.lod, C-130A.lod, C-130A_LOD002 - 005 in the relating folders. This files are part of original SFP1,WOE,WOV game. You must extract them from SFP1,WOE or WOV objects.cat by using the SFP1E tool which you can find at CombatAce.com
     
    Thats it
     
     
    With the Civil Mod comes the file meine.ini which you find in Controls folder. This file allows you to use flaps, breaks etc in game. This are the option settings i use in my game. You can replace this file by your own controls file from an other SFP1,WOE,WOV,WOI game.
     
     
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
     
    IV.
    I want to say thank you to Darreck for the Coolingtowers, RussoUK2004 for the VW, suicidal for the Lamas, Canadair for the Waterdrop effect and all the othersfor hints, files, ideas etc.
     
    *******************************************
     
    V.
    CIVIL MOD "FIREFIGHTERS" IS FREEWARE. COMMERCIAL USE IS NOT ALLOWED.
    If you find bugs please post them in StrikeFighters section of Combatace.com forum.
    If you want to modify CIVIL MOD "Firefighters" then feel free to make it so.
     
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
     
    VI.
    Hope you enjoy it.
     
    Michael (Gepard)
     
    ============================================
     
    VII.
    Made in Germany
    Mai 2009
     
    ============================================
     
    VIII. TO MAKE IT ENGLISH
     
    I wrote this mod in german language. Into english retranslated files you find in subfolder Terrain/Vogesen Zivil/ENGLISH. Please copy the files Vogesen Zivil-targets and Movement into your Vogesen Zivil folder. MISSIONSUMMARY and MISSIONTYPE in your MENU folder.
    I hope that my translated files are good enough. Feel free to modify them.

  15. CLOUDS PACK

    CLOUDSMODfor SF1/WO*
     
    **********************************
     

     
    I picked up my mod color for file Environment thatused the Gumpy for its Clouds mod(http://combatace.com/files/file/12364-il2-clouds-for-wov-and-woi-series-1/).My mod can be used with the other Environment system for WO *.
     

     
    My mod used a total of 5 types of clouds. These cloudsare different in colour, texture and shapes. I have included a cloudguide.jpg with screenshots, labeledto match the folders, so you can get an idea of what each cloud looks like.
     
    .
     
    **********************************************
     
    INSTAL
     
    Just copy a cloud1.tga from any one of the six foldersincluded in the mod and paste it (just the file, not the folder) into your Flight folder. Always back up youroriginals!
     

     
    That's all. If you want a different kind of cloud,must select a type and a copy to folder of the flight in the game (copy alwaysCloud1 tga file.)
     

     
    It is good to have backup files!!!
     

     
    **********************************************
     
    I hopethat my clouds for you will have an interesting atmosphere in your flightWinter landscape requires other clouds than the summer landscape...

  16. CloudScape v1

    CloudScape Mod for Strike Fighters Gold, Wings over Europe, and Wings over Israel
     
    This mod has been tested in all the above listed sims. I have every reason to believe it will work in Wings over Vietnam and Strike Fighters Project 1 as well.
     
    For me, an essential part of the immersion in a flight sim is just watching the clouds go by. In real life, I watch clouds often and commonly photograph them. I like clouds that form into interesting and complex shapes.
     
    My intent here was to create cloudscapes that are appealing to the eye and thus increase the immersion into the game.
     
    In 2007, I created a cloud mod for First Eagles with the same idea in mind. When I placed the same mod into WoI and SFG, I felt the image didn't fit with the bluer skies of the modern era sims.
     
    Tweaking the colors didn't work well enough. So I kept the same alpha channel (mask), modded it a lot, and created a completely new image with it. I think this one works better. This new image, on first glance, doesn't look nearly as nice as the default. Don't be put off. Most of the cloud's appearance is managed by the alpha channel embedded into the image.
     
    NOTES
     
    Of the over 60 different clouds I tried, I couldn't decide which one I liked best, so I am including just two and letting you decide which you like best.
     
    If you already have an edited environmentsystem.ini file or a cloud1.tga file you can opt to use just the cloud1.tga file. Always be sure to BACK UP YOUR ORIGINALS! I have tested the image alone with the Widesky mod and it works just fine.
     
    --More information available in the README.txt
     
    Happy Flying!

  17. CloudScape v2

    CloudScape V2 09/03/2009 by ShrikeHawk
     
    This has been successfully tested in WoV, WoE, WoI and also limited testing in the SFP2 sims (thanks to silverbolt). Framerates were minimally affected by this mod during testing.
     
    Since clouds vary widely in their appearance from day to day, it seems to me that the WoX games should have a greater variety in the appearance of their clouds. I notice the clouds a lot and after a while I begin to see too much repetition in the cloud patterns. So I frequently wish for more variety.
     
    As it turns out, you "can" have greater variation. It is possible to use as many as four different clouds in a single installation - one each for scattered, broken, overcast, and inclement clouds. I have capitalized on this to create a wider array of cloud images. In this mod, I have created two sets of four clouds. Each set of four comprises a single install.
     
    Cheers and Happy Flying!

  18. CloudSkins

    CloudSkins by ShrikeHawk, Jan 10 2010
     
    Here is a set of six different cloud images to use as you see fit.
     
    If you can have a huge variety of skins for your F4 Phantom, why can't you have many choices of "skins" for clouds as well? This is the thrust of this mod. New images to change the look of your clouds and use them any way you want.
     
    Just copy a cloud1.tga from any one of the six folders included in the mod and paste it (just the file, not the folder) into your Flight folder. Always back up your originals! These images will work with SF1, SF2, Widesky, Cloudscape, or any modded environmentsystem.ini you have developed yourself. It will also work if you have no modded skies at all.
     
    I have included a cloudguide.jpg with screenshots, labeled to match the folders, so you can get an idea of what each cloud looks like.
     
    CREDITS
     
    Much thanks to Derk, Stick, Spinners, GrinchWSLG. swanbast. Stary, DWCAce, and Silverbolt for their feedback and encouragement.

  19. CloudSkins Too: PaintedClouds

    CloudSkins Too:PaintedClouds - Mar 14, 2010 by ShrikeHawk
     
    Here is another set of CloudSkins for your amusement. In this set, I used a different technique to create the clouds. This method gives me far more control over their look, because it allows me to actually "paint" in the details. Thus the "Painted" subtitle for this set. Additionally, I've played with larger images (768x768 instead of the usual 512x512). There is a slight framerate hit (2-8FPS) in using these clouds, but if your system can handle it, they're worth it. I have included three 512x512 images if you prefer the standard size.
     
    BONUS FILE
     
    The idea of CloudSkins has been to only supply the images and let the users supply their own sky settings. In this set you can still do that. But this time I am supplying an environmentsystem.ini file that I use in all my installs.
     
    This was primarily created by ASRAAM. He combined the features of Widesky, CloudScape, and the sky settings of NF4+. So I believe, but have not confirmed, this file will work in SF2 as well as SF1. Most of the work is ASRAAM's and he deserves a lot of credit for it. In turn, I have changed some of the cloud settings to suit my tastes. I have tested this out in WoV,WoE, and WoI. To use it, simply copy the environmentsystem.ini file into your Flight folder.
     
    SPECIAL BONUS FILE
     
    I have added a folder named "CloudBurst." This contains a different environmentsystem.ini file with a trick I learned from Stick. It overloads the cloud counts and produces a striking cloudscape full of many cloud layers. I used this file to create the screenshot for CloudSkins Too. It uses a lot of framerates so it's preferred for more powerful systems. To use it, just copy the environmentsystem.ini file only (NOT the whole CloudBurst folder) and place it into your Flight folder.
     
    CREDITS
    Much thanks go out to Stick and ASRAAM for technical support, and Piecemeal, suhsjake, NeverEnough, Haukka81, Dogzero1, Icarus999, and Dude27 for their enthusiasm and encouragement. Greatest thanks to TK for an awesome sim.

  20. DBS Water Fix


    DBS Water Upgrade/Update for SF/Wo* (08+) and SF2


     
    This is a little package contains newly rebuilt sea and sea/land transition tiles for Major Lee's "Bering Straits" terrain, and is designed for use on the enhanced targets upgrade I released Nov, 2008. It can be used on either the original OR the upgrade. If you don't have the upgrade, it's available at the following URL:
     
    http://forum.combatace.com/files/file/7684-bering-straits-terrain-targets-upgrade/
     
    What this package is, are all the 'waterish' tiles rebuilt with new alpha channels, thereby allowing for more water action to be visible (even with all that cursed ice!!). A new waternormal bmp is also included, for enhanced wave action.
     
    It has been tested in all 1st Gen Sims (SF/WoV/WoE/ at 10/08 patch levels) and SF2 (merged, 2/10 patch, withOUT SF2:I).. But, as I'm on XP, I can't take advantage of the DX10 shaders....
     
    As always, READ the enclosed readme FIRST for full, detailed instructions for BOTH 1st and NextGen sims game installs. It reccomened you read this document through before installing to either SF/Wo* or SF2 series, to make sure you know what's to be done, and how to do it.
     
    Consider this as my birthday present to all of YOU!!
     
    Good Hunting!
    Wrench
    Kevin Stein
     
    ps: the screenie above was taken in SF2, with me piloting that CF-104 (easily made flyable), so I know it do work in NextGens!! I'd like feedback from our Vista/Win7 DX10 users, with screenies if possible, so I can see it looks OK there, as well.
    TIA!

  21. DESERT / ISRAEL2 ground environment update

    DESERT / ISRAEL 2 ground environment update ("tree mod")
     
    Should work with any maps using default SFP1/SFG desert tileset in jet titles from the series. In all cases you'll have to use the desert.cat or manually extract and move the tiles from desert.cat to your terrain folder.
     
    Not tested with the "desert replacement tileset"! Should work, but objects placement will be slightly incorrect.

  22. Enhanced Cloud Top Layer

    The default overcast and inclement cloud top bitmaps in any of the Thirdwire series (SF, WoV,WoE, FE, and now WoI), always seem to lack "depth". So, this is my attempt at rectifying that issue.
     
    Installation is quite easy. Simply extract the four bmp files contained in this zip archieve (CloudLayerTop2-CloudLayerTop5.bmp), into your sim's "Flight" folder. And that's it!
     
    To test, simply fly above the cloud deck under either overcast or inclement weather conditions.
    To remove, just delete them and the game will revert to using it's original (and protected) cloudlayertop bitmaps.
