Graphical enhancement mod for TW games
By Nixou
Graphical enhancement mod for TW games
Wanna use today graphic features in the old fashion Wings of engine?
This mod when activated enables the Bloom feature ingame, a color correction
and an antialias filter, so you can enjoy the sunshine.
Those settings are configurable through ini file.
YOU MUST HAVE A RECENT GRAPHIC CARD THAT INCORPORATES PIXEL SHADING FEATURE TO USE THIS MOD!
Graphical mod enhancement presentation on youtube, part2 of the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8eFRHwq7cM
*Installation:
-Drop D3D9.dll file directly into you TW game folder
-Drop the enbseries.ini file into the flight folder
If you are using any clouds mod at the same time (widesky...) rename the enbseriesMOD by enbseries.ini
and place this one instead of original.
Shift-F12 to activate/desactivate it ingame. You can tweak the ini file to configure settings as you wish.
Caution!!:This mod eats graphic card for breakfust and CPU for lunch, i would advise you not to use it if
you are under 50FPS during general playing without it. It would make 50frames to drop to 30 frames approximatively,
If you are at 30 frames you would drop to 20 frames, so don't be surprised.
Please before any other use than purely personnal, read the license.txt. Thx.
Have fun.

Germany CE Rescaled Trees for Brain32 / Jan Tuma Tree Mod
By Bananimal
This is a set of rescaled trees for Jan Tuma's tree set mod for Brian32 GermanyCE repainted tiles. You must have Brian32's repainted tiles V1.0 for GermanyCE terrain to use this mod.
I have reduced the tree size to a more realistic size to help facilitate sense of speed and scale.
INSTALLATION:
Install Brian32's repainted GermanyCE tiles. Copy all the files in this package to your WOE\TERRAIN\GERMANYCE folder. Over write when asked.
That's it. Go fly.
Legal:
Permission to rerelease Jan's tress was given to me by Jan. I thank him for his allowing me to release this mod to the community. All terms of use from Jan's mod apply to this mod as this was originally his work. I just merely rescaled / added more trees. For freeware use only.
Cheers,
Bananimal

DESERT / ISRAEL2 ground environment update
By Stary
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.

This tiny mod adds heavy snowfall conditions when flying in inclement weather.
Fits best the snow covered terrains (MajorLee's DBS, ANW winter etc.)
Very hard to find your airfield flying in this weather!

Green Hell 2
By Stary
This is version 2.0 of my Green Hell mod for WoV. Main goal of this mod is to add dense tree coverage to the Vietnam map. New in the 2.0 are the heavily populated city tiles. Most of the files from 1.0 have been remade, adjusted or added.
Quick summary:
-Three levels of detail for you to choose from.
-All new jungle graphics
-Cities, the way they should be. More or less :-)
-Objects numbers per tile vary from x2 up to x4 more than in GH.
-All foliage graphics replaced by new, better blending with the terrain textures, and in higher resolution.
-More detail added to the villages, as an attempt to create better looking settlements, but still limited to what Terrain Editor can offer.
-Generally nicer views, lower framerates ;-)

Siberian Sky -- Contrails for strategic air warfare
By Lexx_Luthor
Purely experimental effects for radical hardcore fans of generals Curtiss LeMay and Yevgeniy Savitskiy ONLY.
This is an exhaust effect mod that can change the large scale visual environment across a map, so I hope its okay to put this in the Environment mod section.
Included are experimental contrails that attempt to model both quickly evaporating and persistent spreading ice crystals clouds that shine brightly near the sun, and range in lifetime from 5 seconds to 1240 seconds, which is about 20 minutes. The contrail tga uses the same game grafix calls as my Cirrus clouds, which makes sense since contrails can become cirrus clouds over time. Best used with the blue sky and sunglare ideas in the Siberian Sun mold.
Instructions and advice on game limits of the longer contrails are found in the Instructions file.
Pics and words soon available at this ThudWire forum thread ~> http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4964
======================================================
UPDATE EDIT: Somewhat reduced max visible distances. Contrails 320 and 640 had 1000x too great a max visible distance for testing vs cirrus. Now reduced. Will update later if improved methods are found.

WoE Shader Effects 1.0
By Fubar512
INSTALLATION:
Assuming you have WoE (ie., "Wings over Europe"), the process is simple...just extract and place the folder named "Terrain" into the your Wings Over Europe Folder, and you're ready to go.
In all other titles, extract the watereffect.fx and the waternormaldot3 into the Terrain subdirectory of your choice.
In Strike Fighters, that would be "Desert". In Wings over Vietnam, it would be "VietnamSEA. In WoI, it's "IsraelME".
This effect is optimized for use with Brain32's WoE terrain using Cellisnsky's widesky 1.0 mod.
*NOTE*: I cannot guarantee that it will work to everybody's satisfaction with other ThirdWire titles, terrain sets, or environment mods.
KNOWN ISSUES: Cards that lack FULL DX9.0C support, such as ATI Radeon 9x -X1K series and the nVidia GeforceFX(5) series, may experience pixelation issues when close to the "water's" surface. The only workaround is to either turn off the shaders, or to break down and purchase a card that supports DX9.0C.
This effect is all but unusable in Windows Vista, due to its poor DX9 support.
The .FX files contained in the zip archive based on ThirdWire's original's, and re-compiled & debugged using ATI's RenderMonkey.

OTC 2 Cuba tree mod
By Stary
This is tree mod and tiles update for OTC 2 Cuba terrain.
Apart from adding varying coverage of trees, I've also did some retiling, to introduce new tiles for visuals improvement, and to avoid spawning of trees in the wrong place, eg. on runways, also not to have some targets in dense jungle, rather on less covered grounds.

Siberian Sky -- moving warm front for strategic air warfare
By Lexx_Luthor
This is purely experimental, rather deep, and is a first attempt at roughly modelling a moving warm front.
This project is off the deep end and assumes success in setting up the cirrus mod here ~> http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6567
The different types of clouds almost cover a standard size 1000km map. I try to have the clouds evolve to the storm area in the following manner...
Cirrus in clear skies.
Cirrocumulus in clear skies.
Cirrostratus filling out the sky.
High altostratus covering the sky.
Low altostratus covering the sky.
Low large puffy dark clouds in the storm area (I call it "stratus" but its not really stratus).
Rapid clearing behind the front (assume fast cold front).
For "stratus" and altostratus, I use the Smoke3 and Smoke4 tga files which are NOT in the ThirdWire sims. They can be found in older Bunyap Weapons packs.
I hopefully will be discussing ideas about this at the ThirdWire thread here, probably starting page 7...

Siberian Sky -- Cirrus clouds for Missions and Terrains
By Lexx_Luthor
This mod is an extension of my original cirrus tests from 2006 and produces multiple large layers of flat clouds at varying high altitudes, scattered across a map, and that can move with the wind defined in mission file. There are two methods of cirrus creation:
(1) A terrain target object that generates cirrus effects. This was derived from the stock power plant generator and the smokestack effect. This may be more suitable for the campaigns. Once installed in a terrain, it will be used automatically in all missions.
(2) A moving ship, with beginning and final waypoints, that generates cirrus effects during ship motion. This was derived from the stock Tanker ship and the ship movement effect. This method is useful in hand made missions, and I hope to extend this to large scale moving weather systems.
The cirrus are most brilliant with the Siberian Sun mod where the deep blue sky offers great contrast with the white ice crystal cirrus, and the large sunglare causes the cirrus to shine bright around the sun.
I will explore this in detail, probably on page 7 of this ThirdWire thread ~> http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=4964
....this is version 1.0 until I discover one of my standard mistakes in installation or content....

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

Enhanced Cloud Top Layer
By Fubar512
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.
Cheers,
Fubar512 and Brain32

"Green Hell" VietnamSEA map modification
By Stary
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!

Siberian Sun
By Lexx_Luthor
By introducing additional camera lensflares, I created a very hard and brilliant tiny sun surrounded by a large glare. In optimizing the brightness of the sun and glare, I was pushed to deeply modify much of the Enviro file more than I thought was needed. One result has been the development of a different philosphy on aircraft lighting and its relation to terrain, sky, and cirrus clouds, appropriate to early Cold War strategic operations at high altitude. Another result has been a focus on improving terrain shading at low sun elevation angles.
Included are a number of Enviro files with varying levels of changes, two grafix tga files, and instructions to get started. This is an experimental mod and will be continually developed for my own use, but with some work can be adapted to any taste for any use by anyone. I don't know where to start here, as this goes far beyond just the sun effect. I've started a thread at the ThirdWire webboard with screenshots and will try to describe what I'm doing. If any are interested, it would be helpful if you poast your changes to your Enviro system and screenshots in the ThirdWire thread.
ThirdWire Siberian Sun thread ~> http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=25572#25572
Several topics will be covered as listed below; all of them related to each other which requires a tricky balance among them to optimize the overall environmental effect.
Sky colours.
Intense sun and large sun glare.
Terrain shadowing at low sun elevation angles.
Sun glare effect on cirrus clouds and new contrails.
Ambient lighting, and direct sun lighting and sun reflections on aircraft.
Appearance of aircraft, objects, and exhaust/weapon effects against the terrain and blue sky.
Moonlight effects on all the above.
* INSTRUCTIONS *
The project assumes the latest SF1 version (currently, v.08.30.06) and the WoV/WoE equivalents.
Extract into a seperate folder for downloads. Then copy the 3 Enviro files and the two tga files into the sim Flight folder. To select an Enviro file to test with, rename it Environmentsystem. In the game grafix options menu, Camera Lens Flares must be turned ON for the Siberian sun to work, although in each Enviro file listed below at the location of the lensflare data, there are instructions on how to turn OFF the normal camera lensflares if desired while still using the new sun effect. The included Enviro files are...
Environmentsystem-0 --- Fully modded Siberian Sun Enviro file as developed currently, with full functionality of the stock Enviro file except the old sun.
Environmentsystem-1 --- the stock ThirdWire Enviro file with only the Siberian sun added, and the ThirdWire sun taken out. The hard intensity of the Siberian sun effect is rather washed out by the bright sky colours of the stock Enviro file, so...
Environmentsystem-2 --- the above Enviro-1 file with my current changes to the sunheight environment colour blocks (...[Day], [Day1], [Twighlight2], etc...). This offers darker sky colours so allows a relatively more intense sun effect.
In the fully changed Enviro-0, I use a new star tga file (ss-Star), and added changes to the stock [stars] data block. One may easily return to the stock Star tga file or the stock star Enviro data if desired. If you are now running a modded Enviro file, re-name it Environmentsystem-sav or otherwise BACK IT UP so you still have it.
