    1. Midway Terrain version 1.1

      MIDWAY TERRAIN
      =====================
       
      I.
      Midway terrain is made for "Strike Fighters Project 1" SFP1.
       
      You can use it in Wings over Vietnam and Wings over Europe too.
      Wings over Israel can handle this terrain too, but the flight modells of prop driven planes shows anomalies in WOI.
       
      ==============================================
       
      II.
      Midway terrain covers a part of the Central Pacific Ocean with the atolls of Kure and Midway.
      It is the place were in 1942 a big Air-Sea-Battle was fought between the Imperial Japanese Navy and the US Navy. The japanese Navy was superior in numbers of ships, but the US side had some major advantages. No.1, the japanese communication code was broken, so that the US Navy commanders were able to read the enemy commands. No.2, the US had radar coverage, so that enemy surprise attacks were nearly impossible. No.3, the US had the superior number of airplanes which were deciding during the battle.
      The battle was fought as a pure air to sea combat. No single gunfire exchange between naval vessels took place.
      The result was that the japanese Navy lost 4 carriers and the US Navy lost 1 carrier. It was a impressive victory for the USA in Pacifice war theater. You can compare it with the Battle of Moscow on the Eastern Front or the first british victories in North Africa.

      *********************************************
      III Known problems
       
      Up today it is impossible to take off and land from carriers while using single missions which are generated by random single mission screen.
      Thatswhy i added invisible airfields for taking off and landing in the centre of carrier formations. You will also start from the sea. This is not satisfying. Thatswhy it is the best to start the mission in the air to overcome this problem.

      Q: How i can get Midway Terrain running in WOV, WOI or WOE
       
      A:
      1. Open file Midway.ini
      2. Look for line CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat
      3. Replace this line with:
      for WOV: CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat
      for WOI: CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
      for WOE: CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat

    2. SF_2_CV12_MS33

      FIRST THING.
       
      You will need to have the Essex CV LOD. from Rising Sun over at the Yankee Air Pirates site. This skin and future skins I plan to release will not work with out it.
       
      ===============================================
      TO INSTALL:
       
      unzip to a temp folder or your desktop or somewhere else that's easy to find
       
      In the Essex folder, located in the GroundObject folder, make a copy of one of the CV9 skin folder and rename it what you want such as CV12 MS33.
       
      Then, simply, copy/paste the provided CV12 MS33 folder into you newly created CV12 MS33 skin folder.
       
      You'll probably be asked "OVERWRITE?", just say Yes.
       
      That's it.
       
      ----------------------------------------------
      Notes:
       
      This is the Mesure 33 pattern the USS Hornet had during WW2

      Legal BS:
      This is freeware;(That means you can't make someone pay for it) it CAN be distrubuted if the original readmes and all other pieces of the package remain intact.
      Remember to add the names of all contributors, modders, suppliers, ect.
      -------------------------------------------
      About the skin.
       
      This is a very rough and first attempt at doing skins for ships for me.If you can and want to improve them and add more detail, please do. I have no problem with any one doing that. Due to some limitations with the BMP file for the island, the pattern will not be exact. This is mainly with the 5in
       
      mounts and weapons directors. They would need their own bmp files. If some one can figure out how to do that, plaese let me know.

    3. Operation Odyssey Dawn 2.0 HD Part 1

      ________________________________________________________________________________________________
       
      From now on , this new update:
       
       
      http://combatace.com/files/file/15169-operation-odyssey-dawn-update/
       
       
      It is mandatory to be applied over this MOD.
       
      ________________________________________________________________________________________________
       
      Opération Harmattan---------Operation Ellamy---------Operation Odyssey Dawn--------Operation Freedom Falcon----------Operación Amanecer de la Odisea---------Operation Mobile
       
      Version 2.0 HD
       
       
      This is the definitive version of the original Operation Odyssey Dawn MOD. It includes a highly reworked version of the original Operation Odyssey Dawn MOD also avaible here at CA.
       
      As it is a big package and those are usually difficult to handle by some users I'm going to explain with the higher ammount of details how to install it and how to work with it , so please guys READ this README.
       
       
      1) Requirements
       
      * A very powefull computer at LEAST with an intel core i5 and 6Gb of RAM, if not loading times will be crazy and gaming horrible as the CPU won't afford the MOD
       
      2) Installation
       
      * Use a CLEAN , and when I say clean it is a CLEAN MOD folder
      * Path the game up to july 2013 if you don't do this the MOD won't work , so you are warned
      * Drop everything you have in the 3 .rar files and when it asks you to overwrite say: YES TO ALL
      * Rar files are at .rar5 format so please be sure that you use the lastest winrar version
      You can also use this program if you have problems unzipping the MOD:
       
      http://www.bandisoft.com/bandizip/
      * Then everything should work
       
      3) If you do the above things , you think that you fullfill the requirements and the MOD does not work properly, What to do?
       
      * Any PM sent to me regarding this question WON'T BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT , because I don't want to have 12 PM's asking me the same thing in 3 different languages.
      * So to solve the above point I've created a "problem template" , that you must fill and post at the file announce post of this MOD
       
      "problem Template"
       
      Installation you have:
      Path:
      Type of problem:
      Campaign working (YES/NO):
      Air unit of the campaign:
      Plane used by the air unit
       
      4) Weapons
       
      They are included and based in RavenClaw's MOD so , if you miss some of them because I may have forgotten to add them just download this:
       
      http://combatace.com/files/file/13929-weapons-pack-2/
       
      5) Campaign
       
      There are more assest than in the original MOD however a lower number of them will be flyable. The reason is the use of many off-map bases.
       
       
      6) Credits:

    4. SF2 WW2 ETO Spitfire Mk.V LF Pak by Cocas

      SF2 WW2 ETO Spitfire Mk.V LF Pak by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co 12/28/2014
       
      -- Something for the ETO players --
       
      = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      *This mod will NOT work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level. One should also have the SF2I expansion pak, that gave us the Spitfires, as this mod references that stock 3W destroyed Spitfire model*
       
      Note x2: This mod represents Mk.V LFs from Northern Europe =ONLY=!
       
      This is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co. This is the "clipped wing" version of the Spitfire Mk.V.
      We are calling this "version 0.9", as there exists the possibility of more work being required. But, we wanted to get them out into the hands of our WW2 End Users ™ for their examination and so forth. It was supposed to be released in the early part of 2014 (Feb/March), but I totally forgot about it!!
       
      Skins included with the package are:
       
      RAF:
      No. 402 Squadron "City of Winnipeg" (RCAF)
      No. 610 Squadron "County of Chester"
       
      All marking are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Other squadrons can easily be done by creating new squadron code letters. SF2 versions of my "box art" style hangar and loading screens are included.
      All aircraft use a "pool" of plane-in-group letters, and serial numbers. The serial numbers, while 'generic' in nature (representing no particular aircraft in any given squadron), ARE correct for the variant depicted.
      The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0. Guns are also grouped, MGs in Group 1, the cannon in Group 2.
       
      When in game, you'll see:
       
      Spitfire Mk.Vc LF (CAF)
       
      on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate =THIS= Spitfire from any other Mk.Vs you may (or may not) have.
      The Skin template is also inculded, for anyone wishing to correct any/all errors I've made.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
       
      Good Hunting!

    5. SF 2 Essex camo

      FIRST THING.
       
      You will need to have the Essex CV LOD. from Rising Sun over at the Yankee Air Pirates site. This skin and future skins I plan to release will not work with out it.
       
      ===============================================
      TO INSTALL:
       
      unzip to a temp folder or your desktop or somewhere else that's easy to find
       
      In the Essex folder, located in the GroundObject folder, make a copy of the CV9 skin folder and rename it what you want such as Essex_Camo.
       
      Then, simply, copy/paste the provided Essex_Camo folder into you new CV9 skin folder.
       
      You'll probably be asked "OVERWRITE?", just say Yes.
       
      That's it.
       
      Go forth and rain fire on your enemies from the sea.
       
      ----------------------------------------------
      Notes:
       
      USS Essex was the only Essex class carrier to be painted in this cammo pattern. The pattern was known as MS-32v6/10D. it was used mainly for destroyers but was adapted to the USS Essex.
       
      See enclosed read me for additional information.

    6. Dornier Do 17K

      Do17K was export version of Do17 for Royal Yugoslavia. As the Do17K being close resemblance of the Do17E and M type, it mainly differ in several major features and was more capable combat platform. Do17Ka-1 and Ka-2 was derivates of Do17E/F and featured fabric covered wing lower surface and short distance among the engines. Do17Kb from Dornier and Yugoslav had all metal wing covering and some longer engine mountings.

    7. SF2 KAW AD-4NL Skyraider (3W)

      SF2 Korean War Era AD-4NL Skyraider (3W) Ver 4.0 12/28/2014
       
      = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      **Full 5 URGED, due to use of some SF2NA coding! As this mod references the stock 3rd Wire Skyraider, you =MUST= have SF2:V as part of your merged install. If you don't, this mod will not work.**
       
      This is a 'new' version of the AD-4NL Skyraider, built from the 3W A-1H. It is designed to replace completly any & all earlier versions built from MontyCZ's Skyraider.
      It's your choice (the End User) if you wish to keep or delete the early version.
       
      This mod represents AD-4NL's from VC-35 "Night Hecklers". The squadron was deployed in various "Dets" of 2-4 aircraft aboard almost all USN Carriers during the Korean Conflict. This is designed for a stand-alone KAW mods folder, but can be used in any Full-5 merged install. However, several SF2NA only statements are included, and may only fully work in that environment.
       
      The aircraft is fully carrier-capable; after all, it's built from a Stock 3W carrier bird!
      All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE.
      All the necessary weapons, effects, sounds and etc are included, as is the NEW Skyraider cockpit by Dels. Those with the MCZ version will note they are all the same, but included for ease of installation.
      Standard Animations keystrokes are used for the canopy (Shift/0) and wingfold (shift/9). However, due to some "malfunction", don't fold the wings with ordenance loaded. They won't follow it!
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, PLEASE read them!!!!
      Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. There is important information on Night Operations (what VC-35 specalized in).

    9. Dornier Do 17Z

      The Dornier Do 17, sometimes referred to as the Fliegender Bleistift ("flying pencil"), was a World War II German light bomber produced by Claudius Dornier's company, Dornier Flugzeugwerke. It was designed as a Schnellbomber ("fast bomber"), a light bomber which, in theory, would be so fast that it could outrun defending fighter aircraft.

      This is a third party add on of the AH-1G Cobra using models and cockpits created by me.
      The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
      I have just modified it a bit.
       
      It is designed for and works in the SF1 and SF2 series.
      However this pack is build on SF1 folder tree.
      For SF2 You have to separete Decals folders.
      There is a plenty of tutorials how to convert to SF2 series.
      For now temporary i dont have posibility to convert and work on SF2 sim. Temporary.
      Sorry for that.

      like 65degree up) - (default ctrl + ) and then increase power to 70-85% (or more for quick
       
      lift) and pull controll stick little and snake will take off. Then reduce throttle vector
       
      as needed and reduce power to 69%. It should fly around 110kts now. 69% is good cruising
       
      speed. Use vector throttle to control speed.
       
      When on the ground you can see rotating blades for pitch and roll. Just additional and
       
      unnecesary thing (not visible so much when flying) but it is possible so it is there. Not
       
      working like i want but better then nothing.
       
      There are two different pylons on inboard stations one for rocketpods one for gunpods. Just
       
      to have a proper angle of fire with GP. It is not proper for real model but in my opinion
       
      best what can be done for SF engine. Rocket pods are ok with correct angle on inboard stations.
       
       
      I made all Mk40 FFAR rockets with different look of warhead. Two versions low poly with
       
      colors in max and hi-detail with skins. But i just noticed that i did not pack hi-detailed
      versions. I will upload it little later in weapon pack update.
      I have redone all weapons - launchers M159,157,158,M200, and some navy LAUs. Gunpods M18
      and navy SUU-11. XM118 smoke dispenser and also zuni LAU for future.
      Guns are loaded as weaponstations so player got options.

    11. AH-1G Wings Over Vietnam-SF1

      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      BELL AH-1 COBRA IN VIETNAM PACKAGE Ver 1.0
      ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       
      This is a third party add on of the AH-1G Cobra using models and cockpits created by me.
      The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters.
      I have just modified it a bit.
       
      It is designed for and works in the SF1 and SF2 series.
      However this pack is build on SF1 folder tree.
      For SF2 You have to separete Decals folders.
      There is a plenty of tutorials how to convert to SF2 series.
      For now temporary i dont have posibility to convert and work on SF2 sim. Temporary.
      Sorry for that.

      This addon works only with my WeaponPACK. All of weapon stations are made as specific
      station code and will work only with this weapon pack.
      WeaponPACK can be downloaded here:
      http://combatace.com/files/file/15215-ah-1g-weaponpack/
       
      Standard commands for activating Cobra features:
       
      AIRBRAKES - sun filter/shader on off - just for fun no airbrakes so empty animation slot for use.
       
      ARRESTING HOOK - jump from pilot station to gunner station.
       
      LANDING GEAR - belly light deploy/retract at any speed in late models
      - nose lights activate/deactivate in early model. Lights must on.
       
      A2A mode - gunner station guncross for turret.
       
      A2Ground mode - pilot M73 cross.
       
      ANIMATION 7 - turret doors

      TAT-102 Turret - 7.62mm M134 Minigun 8000 rounds. Only on early model.
       
      M-28 Turret:
      7.62mm M134 Minigun with 4000 rounds
      40mm M129 Grenade launcher with 231 rounds.
      You can load one of each or two M134 or Two M129. Have it your way.
       
      XM-35 – Contains 20mm M195 Vulcan canon. De-rated to 750rpm. With 1800 rounds in box containers above skids on each side of aircraft.
      This subsytem was fitted to some aircrafts (not every could carry) in late 1969 onwards.
      Mostly fitted in new arived aircrafts. Not evry aircraft in unit was able to carrythis subsytem – usually 2-3.
      For those who are not familiar with cobra weapon subsytems it could be carried only on left wing.
       
      XM118 Dispenser, grenade, smoke.
      4 versions, for XM-157, XM-158, XM-159/200 launchers and standalone.
      For proper visual effect dispenser for XM-157 shouldn’t be use for other launchers etc. Standalone dispenser is for use without any rocketpods on outboard pylon.
      I dontk know if it was issued to army during Vietnam War. I saw this on pictures from trials. But never in action
       
       
      Copy weapons into weapons folder, add specific entries into weapondata.ini and install it with weaponeditor.
      Add gundata entry into gundata.ini file and install guns with guneditor.
      Gundata is not so important. But in gunpods and guns in weaponpack i put my own gundata entry. You can use gundata in weapons of your choice.

    13. RA-5C Skinpack

      This package contains improved skins of the RA-5C Vigilante.
       
      - Thinner and less visible panel lines, different weathering than the original skins.
      - New squadrons with tail art and new decal tail numbering for each new squadron
      - Now you can match this bird with more USN tailcodes in the game
       
       
      Squadrons:
       
      RVAH-5 "Savage Sons" tailcode NE (was already present in the original)
      RVAH-6 "Fleurs" tailcode AJ
      RVAH-6 "Fleurs" tailcode NG
      RVAH-6 "Fleurs" tailcode NH
      RVAH-7 "Peacemakers of the Fleet" tailcode AE
      RVAH-11 "Checkertails" tailcode AA
      RVAH-12 "Speartips" tailcode AC
      RVAH-13 "Bats" tailcode NH
       
      The tail artwork is painted on, so no decalling. Unfortunately when decalling over the fold section of the tail, the upper part of the decal disappears. But I drew the art in 2048x2048, that way it still looks ok in the game.
       
      Installation:
       
      First install aircraft. You can find it here:
      http://combatace.com/files/file/9579-ra-5c-vigalante-sf2-v11
       
      Then download this pack and from it, paste the "Objects" folder in your SF2 mod folder and overwrite.
      (The original RVAH5 folder won't be overwritten as I renamed my version RVAH5_NE)

    14. Farman F.222

      The Farman F.222 and its derivatives were thick-sectioned, high-winged, four engined monoplanes from Farman Aviation Works. Based on the push-pull configuration proven by the F.211, design started in August 1925 and the first flight of the prototype was on May 26, 1932. The definitive F.222 variant was the biggest bomber to serve in France between the world wars.
