16th July 2009 SF2 version updates by knx, all props go to original creators listed below the dotted line.
 
Install instructions, drag and drop Objects folder into your mod folder.
 
Notes: I will try to figure out why the magnetic compass to the right of the cockpit isn't showing up, just a case of finding the appropriate bmp from first series games I think. Will update as and when. Please let me know if you spot something else that needs updating/tweaking. I'm sure there is something I missed, so point it out to me please if you can, the reason I'm uploading now as it is, is so that issues can be pointed out and resolved before the rest of the packs to follow. Regards, Gwyn.
 
...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
The original readme follows, note that this pack is only one specific part of what is described here, the next lot I will be updating are the later model USAF Sabres (I don't know who is doing the MiG-15s)
 
F-86 Sabre /MiG-15 README:
 
 
First of all I would like to think “USAFMTL” for allowing me to be a part of this effort.
 
 
Secondly thanks go to David Zurawski for his wonderful F-86 Sabre that is such a work of art.
 
 
Thirdly thank you to all that have modeled and skined the work to developed individual sub-models of the F-86.
 
 
Thanks to Jimmy Bib for all his graphical engineering.
 
 
Lastly thank you to “Fubar 512" for his expert guidance in my effort in Flight Modeling.
 
 
 
If ever the was an aircraft the looked, felt, smelt, and tasted like a fighter aircraft ; it’s the F-86 Sabre!
 
 
And being an actual jet rated pilot, with a little over 1,200 actual flight hours, compelled me to tweak , my “Sweet Sabre”.
 
 
Being my all time favorite aircraft and being an avid history nut about the Korean Conflict compelled me in an effort to add to these works that so many started.
 
 
First of all. All data contained in the data.ini files was deeply researched by “USAFMTL” and myself.
 
 
Only minor tweaks where utilized, building on the work of those that created the aircraft models.
 
 
All aircraft preform to Dash 1 specifications to the degree of 99.9%.
 
 
All aircraft where thoroughly tested by hundreds hours of actual, not autopilot, testing.
 
 
 
The yank and bank style of A.C.M. with this aircraft is gone.
 
 
 
Key points are :
1) Keeping a high energy fight.
 
 
2) Thinking well ahead of what the aircraft is, or what you want it to do.
 
 
3) The required use of the speed brakes to alter or set up YOUR fight or flight, in reference to turning radius. Not just chopping the throttle, that is a only a good way to die.
 
 
4) And for the self proclaimed, “Fighter Aces”, fly these models on the HARD setting, to truly test your skill.
 
 
5) All F-86 and MiG-15 are uniform in performance. The aircraft preform as did the actual models of this noble era.
 
 
6) The addition of armor to all aircraft end the ,“QUICK KILL”. These can be altered still to fit ones preference.

Main changes is the USERLIST, and the removal of the radar. The actual SA-9 does not have a radar (or an active one, purely passive only), and it will fire at you still (from the rear). It's just been tweaked and changed slightly to reflect the fact it has no radar.

FJ-3M Fury Mod
by column5
 
First, let me thank Zur for allowing me to mod his excellent F-86. I'd also like to acknowledge DanW who did the original F-86 skin, which I modified for this aircraft.
 
You do not need the F-86 to use this mod, but if you DON'T have it you should: http://www.simtweak.com.
 
Soon after the Korean conflict began, the US Navy realized that its current front line fighters, the F9F Panther and F2H Banshee, were no match for the new MiG-15. The Navy wisely contracted North American Aviation to modify the superb F-86 Sabre for naval use, and the result was the FJ-2 Fury (the FJ-1 designation had already been applied to a completely different aircraft). The Fury was developed over the course of the 1950s into the FJ-3, represented here, and ultimately the FJ-4. Unlike the FJ-4, the FJ-3 is externally very similar to the F-86, and is well represented by Zur's F-86 model.
 
The 'M' in the aircraft's designation represents the ability to carry early Sidewinder AAMs. The FJ-3 is also equipped with four Mk12 20mm canon.
 
This package includes a skin representing the bright colors of VF-53 Iron Angels circa 1956.

F-4 Pack 6 USAF F-4 Euro 1 skins
 
For SF2 series
 
 
 
Just copy the Objects folder[ with its subfolders] to your SF2/V to your Mods directory, the skin and decals will be installed.

Operation Rubicon (for WOE)
Welcome to Operation Rubicon (for WOE) - where Rubicon has two meanings. First, it denotes R(ostock)uB(lockade)icon. Second, to "cross the Rubicon" is a popular idiom meaning to go past a point of no return and refers to Julius Caesar crossing the river of that name in 49 BC, deliberately as an act of war.
 
The objective of this mission is to attack and destroy the Soviet Northern Naval fleet undergoing repairs and maintenance in Rostock Naval Yard, East Germany. Strategically, this will stop the Soviet fleet from responding to NATO air and ground strikes on Warsaw Pact forces massing in East Germany. By this very act the NATO forces have reached the point of no return.
 
This mission was inspired from a Scenario in Tom Clancy's 1986 novel, Red Storm Rising (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Storm_Rising).
 
Version 1.01 update
Replaced broken links to CA-hosted A-Team models in README with links to Capun's skunkworks site.
Version 1.02 update
Removed reference to withdrawn A-Team model of Soviet Chapeav KrestaII-class cruiser. Alternative existing ship model used instead.
Version 1.03 update
Fixed minor typos in NATO and Warsaw Pact briefings.
Version 1.04 update
Removed reference to withdrawn A-Team model of CGN-9 cruiser. Alternative existing ship model used instead.
Version v1.10 update
Updated on request to remove direct links to any Capun and A-team prerequisite models. Instead, please contact Capun for access - details enclosed.
 
 
Acknowledgements
First, thank you to TK for providing an excellent platform and modding environment. Second, thanks go to all those modders that have provided the prerequisites I have used in my mission packs. Your hard work and dedication is very much appreciated.
 
If there are any problems with these missions and my own mods, then please contact me directly, not the authors of the prerequisites. Thanks.
 
Mission Overview
This mission is complex (my most complex to-date) and involves a total of 65 NATO aircraft, drawn from USN, USMC, USAFE and RAFG, and 13 Warsaw Pact aircraft. You can take the part of each main player in the Operation and experience it from their perspective. The aircraft used on each side and their specific mission are detailed as follows:
 
NATO Forces
USN/USMC
EA-6A, departs CV-62 USS Independence on SEAD mission to destroy EWR sites near Rostock naval yard
A-6B, similar mission as above.
A-6E, departs CV-62 on Strike mission to destroy the Soviet fleet at Rostock
KA-6D Tanker (only used in air-to-air refuelling training missions)
E-2C Hawkeye, departs CV-60 USS Saratoga on AEW mission close to East German (IG) border (AI mission only)
FA-18A, departs CV-60 USS Saratoga on CAP mission North-East of Rostock
USAFE
F-111F, en route from RAF Lakenheath(UK) on Strike mission to destroy Soviet fleet at Rostock (returns to Jever Airbase, West Germany)
F-4G, departs Diepholz Airbase on SEAD mission to penetrate border defences and destroy SAM sites prior to strike force arriving
A-10A, departs Fassberg Airbase on Strike mission to disable enemy defences at Laage airbase
RAFG
Harrier GR3, departs RAF Wunstorf on Strike mission to disable enemy airbase at Laage
F-4M, departs RAF Gütersloh on Strike mission to disable enemy airbase at Laage
 
Warsaw Pact Forces
Mi-24 Hind, departs Laage Airbase on Intercept mission to multiple radar threats approaching from the West
MiG-29C, departs Laage Airbase on Intercept mission to radar threats from the North and also from the West
SU-27 Flanker, departs Pütnitz Airbase on Intercept mission to multiple radar threats approaching from the North-West
 
Prerequisites
The prerequisites for this set of missions are extensive. However, this time I have written the README as a HTML file with links provided to each one, so they're easy to find.
 
It's worth remembering that stock WOE does not contain enough of the correct types of NATO or Warsaw Pact aircraft or ground objects required to model such a complex scenario as portrayed by this Operation, especially for the era I have chosen (i.e. 1979).
 
Contents

Combat & Training Missions for each major player (i.e. aircraft) in the Operation
Enhancements to the GermanyCE targets file (including enemy air defences, populated harbour targets and populated airbases)
Enhancements to the Types file (to complement the targets additions)

Carrier Missions and Training Pack for WOV
Welcome to the 'Pack' for WOV, which provides basic carrier training and operations missions using (mostly) stock aircraft.
 
Updated to V2.00
This mission pack has had a major update.
1. Merged Mission Pack I and II for WOV together into this single pack - training and operations missions are now all together in one place.
2. Re-vamped US fleet to be defined as types and also targets, to greatly simplify mission file contents and make it quicker to load missions.
3. Re-wrote ReadMe to point at currently available ships from the A-team - ReadMe is now also in HTML to make it easier to link to all pre-reqs.
4. Renamed mission files to make it easier to distinguish between carrier training (CT) and carrier operations (CO) missions.
 
Updated to v2.10
This mod has been updated on request to remove direct links to any Capun and A-team prerequisite models. Instead, please contact Capun for access - details enclosed.
 
Missions Included in this Pack
The missions provided by this pack are named according to mission type, aircraft type, weather conditions and time of day.
 
For example, using an A-4B, training missions are named as follows:
 
CT A-4B denotes take off, circuit fleet and land back on carrier, in daylight, in clear weather
CT A-4B(BW) denotes take off, circuit fleet and land back on carrier, in daylight, in bad weather
CT A-4B(N) denotes take off, circuit fleet and land back on carrier, at night, in clear weather
CT A-4B(BWN) denotes take off, circuit fleet and land back on carrier, at night, in bad weather
CT A-4B(R ) denotes take off, RV with KA-6D tanker aircraft, circuit fleet and land back on carrier, in daylight, in clear weather
CT A-4B(RBW) denotes take off, RV with KA-6D tanker aircraft, circuit fleet and land back on carrier, in daylight, in bad weather
 
For operations missions, again using an A-4B, the following naming convention is used:
 
CO A-4B(AS) denotes anti-ship mission. Intercept enemy patrol boats approaching from the South-West and North-West simultaneously, in daylight, in clear weather
CO A-4B(ASBW) denotes anti-ship mission. Intercept enemy patrol boats approaching from the South-West and North-West simultaneously, in daylight, in bad weather
CO A-4B(I) denotes aircraft intercept mission. Intercept enemy Migs approaching from the North-West at low level, in daylight, in clear weather
CO A-4B(IBW) denotes aircraft intercept mission. Intercept enemy Migs approaching from the North-West at low level, in daylight, in bad weather
 
Pre-requisites are listed in the README, together with installation instructions.

CT-LB A-5A(CN) = As above but at night, in good clear weather
CT-LB A-5A(CBW) = As above but daylight in bad weather (low cloud, rain)
CT-LB A-5A(CBWN) = As above but at night in bad weather (low cloud, rain)
 
CO-LB A-5A(S) = Carrier Operations, Strike mission deep into Libyan territory. Knock out a Nuclear weapons research site, Daylight in good clear weather, Mission time is ~2.5 hours
...Watch out for multiple SAMS and AAA en route – stay low and fast
...Watch your fuel supply – avoid using AB - you'll be on vapours on final approach!
CO-LB A-5A(SN) = As above but at night. (Landing is just after dawn)
CO-LB A-5A(SBW) = As above but in daylight in bad weather
CO-LB A-5A(SBWN) = As above but at night in bad weather
 
*Night is depicted by just before dawn (~05:00) so that landings are in twilight (because the fleet is not illuminated in Stock SF and I wanted to make it at least possible to have some idea where to land after the mission is complete).
 
**Bad weather is depicted by heavy low cloud and rain.
 
Read the enclosed Mission Briefing .jpgs for more details about each operations and refuelling mission.
 
Waypoints are provided to guide you to the tanker or target, then onto approach and home, landing back on the carrier.
 
Pre-requisites are listed in the README, together with installation instructions.

Welcome to Operation Black Buck 1 - SE Asia Style!
 
[update v2]
This update uses the A-Team's Vulcan B2 add-on aircraft, instead of the Victor B2 of the previous versions. I've also removed some of the static aircraft that populated Puh Cat and Cam Rahn Bay. Now you're left with Vulcan B2 and Victor K2 statics, which simplifies the installation process.
 
[update v2.10]
This mod has been updated on request to remove direct links to any Capun and A-team prerequisite models. Instead, please contact Capun for access - details enclosed.
 
[Credits]
First, many thanks and all credit to the A-team and their contributors for producing the Vulcan B2 and Victor K2 add-on aircraft and also for granting me permission to post the related B2 and K2 mods which this mission relies upon. If there are any problems with this mission or referenced B2 and K2 mods then please contact me directly, not the A-team. Thanks.
 
[Why?]
Some people have asked Why? or Why do this RAF mission for WOV? Well, until the Falklands add-on (courtesy of Kesslebrut et al) becomes available this is the nearest mission profile you can fly for the Vulcan or Victor aircraft that mimics the essential parts of the Black Buck missions.
 
[Overview]
Pilot your Vulcan B2 V-Bomber to rendezvous with Victor K2 tankers rotating out of Phu Cat and then on to your target of the Hong Gai generator station in the far North, a key strategic target.
 
[Historical Basis]
The transition and attack of the target in this mission replicates many of the aspects of the original Black Buck mission from Ascension Island to Port Stanley airfield in the Falklands in May 1982, all within the confines of the WOV playable area. See http://www.britains-smallwars.com/swbooks/Vulcan-607.html for a detailed account of that first mission. This is the nearest I could come to simulating this famous RAF mission given the geography of the maps provided with either WOE or WOV. Bascially you've got a night formation flight long distance over water to hit a target miles away from any friendly support. Oh, and then you've got to get home again. Sound familiar - read Vulcan 607.
 
[installation Instructions]
ReadMe files for the mission and accompanying static aircraft installation are included in the .zip file, together with appropriate copyright information.
