Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

This is an extraction from a super vannila pack of WOX that we share in the small circle of Insky team. This time we update it to fit SF2 series.
 
it is just an light update for the excellent Widesky 1.0 from Cellisky
 
it has resolved the horizontal light band issue that has been around for quite a while
 
some old effects such as the twilight has been abandomed, using the original effect from TW instead. This has also improved the darkness at night.
 
This update has only been tested with SF2. We do not guarantee it would work the same way in earlier titles. Please use it on your own discretion.
 
 
Enjoy it, and feel free to report any problem.

This mixed tree pack was initially created for a super vanilla pack of WOX series that is shared within the
little circle of Insky Team. There are quite a number of new features to be extracted from that pack (the first one
was "better widesky")
 
The purpose of mixing 1x and 2x trees was to bring a good feeling of speed without compromising too much of
plant coverage on moutain areas. From my observation I can say it meets the purpose quite well.
 
Unfortunately the tree mod of Germany map includes only high-detailed tree 3d file. please don't use it if you
have severe framerate hit after installation.
 
The tree texture for Vietnam map is downscaled for better performance. unless you are observing right from the
ground, you will not find noticable difference about its presence.
 
Enjoy it, and feel free to report any problem.

Northrop/Horton F-79C "Manta" Update Pak for SF/WoV/WoE/WoI (post-08 patch) & SF2/SF2:V/SF2:E
 
Just a small little update for the F-79C Manta, which adds the weapons pylons, a 'smaller' pilot figure, some flight model tweeks to the data ini, and a new loadout ini.
Also included, although I have NO idea if this is important or even necessary, is a 'USERLIST.INI' for use in SF2NextGen series sims.
 
Again this is NOT the complete aircraft, just some inis and bits. The complete aircraft mod is available here:
 
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=8526
 
Basically, all this does is replace the original inis with a more 'reactive' flight model, adds the new pylons as a 'fake pilot seat', just like on the RAF Peregrine, but you one get 2 pylons on this bird.
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft has been tested in Post-Patch SF/WoV/WoE/WoI. Be advised of the existence of some handling issues prevelant in WW2 era and many Pre-Patch (ie: 06 level) aircraft. Fly accordingly!!! It has also been extensively tested in the SF2 series. This bird acutally handles quite well in 08 level games, and just good in SF2 NextGens. =
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder somwhere, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions.
 
 
have fun!

North Africa Terrain Upgrade For SF/WoV/WoE WW2 MTO mods


 
This started out as a simple targets upgrade, and turned into a major rework of Edward's "North Africa" or Western Desert Terrain for WW2. As you can expect, the targets have been greatly 'enhanced', with some additions, some areas have been retiled for ease of targetization. The visuals (ie: the eye candy) has been enhanced by these revamped target areas. This will allow single mission and campain builders more latitude in their creation of missions and campaigns. It also has the side effect of enhancing in-game generated single mission play, too!
 
This is a COMPLETE terrain, designed to REPLACE the original verison in it's entirety. All necessary parts are included; tiles, inis, LOTS of new terrain items, with the excpetion for some 'permission-only' GroundObject items. 2 re-done planning maps (1 & 2) are also included. Also, there are at LEAST 3 Easter Eggs on the map.
 
There ARE some historical flaws (and probably physical geographic ones as well!!), which as most of you know gauls the daylights out of me; they are fully detailed in the "Notes & Explinations" section below.
 
The data ini has been upgraded to the semi-latest standards (ie: 2006 patch level). Water effects are active, so Vista users beware...more information for you is below in the Install Instructions. See "Notes for Vista Users". NOTE: this is NOT designed for the post-08 patch or SF2 "NextGen" series. The terrain's data ini does NOT have the new Height Data included!!! (however, that is easily added if you're familiar with the varous terrain data inis, and how to 'update' them).
 
= MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE WW2 WEAPONS PAK !! =
= MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST, WW2 NATIONS INI IN YOUR FLIGHT FOLDER =
= MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST WW2 FORMATIONS INI IN YOUR FLIGHT FOLDER =
= MAKE SURE YOU HAVE GEO'S WW2 GROUND OBJECTS PAKS!! MOST IMPORTANT!!! =
 
It has been tested in SF, WoV and WoE, using their cats pointed to in the main ini. As most of the new objects will be residing directly in the terrain folder, you should have no problems. (see the CombatAce Knowledge Base for the tutorial on using the cat pointer line). It has NOT, however, been tested in post 08 SF/WoV/WoE/WoI or any of the SF2 'NextGen' series; it is NOT designed for useage in those type of game installs. If you choose to do so, expect NO support from me -- you're on your own. Although, it should work pretty well, in any case. Some data ini adjustments will probably be required for the additional effects.
 
As always, it's reccomended you unzip this to a temp folder somewhere's thats easy to find. This will give you access to the rest of the readme for full, detailed install instructions and the Usual Notes and Other Ramblings...
Follow these instructions herein =EXACTLY= and you should have no problems. It's HIGHLY reccomended you read this document completly through before installing this mod.
 
Happy Landings!!

Horton Ho-229V3a Flying Wing Upgrade Pak For SF/WoV/WoE: ETO & MTO "SWOTL" Style Installs



-06 Patch Level Installs ONLY


 
This is a semi-new aircraft, based off Pako's original Ho-229. I've created a 'production' variant, had the War In Europe lasted further into 1945/46. This is a complete aircraft mod, with all parts included. The new inis will reflect the 'full production' version, as this aircraft can be tasked with pretty much all mission profiles. 2 underwing (body?) pylons have been added via the Fake Pilot Method for bombs, drop tanks and the Kramer X-4 air-to-air missile. The weapons are NOT included; they can be found in my WW2 Weapons Pak, available at CombatAce. Other tweeks (borrowed from my post-war What If.. F-79 Manta) include the additon of running, formation and landing lights.
 
Two new skins, from my upsized home-grown templates with all redrawn panel lines, and standard Luftwaffe stencling, are included. They are:
 
JG-1 in Europe, done up in a 1945-ish RLM 70/81 over 78
JG-27 in North Africa/Middle East, done in a 'mottle' finish of RLM 79/80 over 78 (the same as the Fw-190 skin I did some years back)
 
1/JG-400, Pasko's original skin for Europe, with new individual aircraft numbers.
 
So, in essence, you can create 2 new aircraft; one for your "SWTOL" ETO install and another for a MTO version. The 2 new skins are NOT designed to work together in an ETO only based install. See "Splitting Theatre Usage" in the Install Instructions below. Also, there is some "unique" behavior exhibited in the 06 patch level games, PLEASE read the "Flying the 229" section in the "Notes" below!!!
 
Individual aircraft number decals for 32 aircraft are included for all, as they are different colors. Unfortunatly no Stab markings are included, although I DO have them as decals around here somewheres..... Just couldn't figure out HOW to do them properly for a Flying Wing!! The tail swastika is also NOT on the aircraft, which IS historically accurate, as there are NO vertical surfaces for it to be put on!
 
My patent-pending artwork-style Hangar and Loading screens are also included, as are the damage tgas.
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder somwhere, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. It's reccomended you read it all the way through, so as to be familarized with the procedures, and whatever issues I've encountered.

Handley-Page Peregrine FGA.1 for SF/WoV/WoE/WoI, Post-Patch (9/08 & 10/08) & SF2 Series Installs
 
A "What If..." aircraft for the early Cold War....
 
This is a mod of Pasko's Ho-229, which I modded into the "What If" F-79 'Manta, now modded yet again into an UK built version for the RAF. (did that sound as confusing as it looked???)
This is a complete aircraft mod, containing everything needed to just unzip and fly. A new pilot figure, and the pylon "seats" will need installing, but that's a pretty simple matter.
 
The skin, created from new 1024x1024 templates, is based off the original WW2 Luftwaffe one, and has completly redrawn panel and rivet lines. All new decals representing 54 Squadron, RAF have been either created by me or borrowed from Spinners RAF Decals Pak. Period style lighting has been added; running and ID lights, and a landing light. The cockpit, while based off the A-4B, has been extensively edited to make use of the new coding in post-08-patches for the "OpenCockpit", as has the data ini. This allows the external model's canopy frame to work for us. If attempting to use in a pre-patch install, you'll need to make all sorts of adjustments, and even I don't remember them all. Suffice it to say, it's built for post patch -- keep it that way.
 
A new "WoE-style" hangar screen has been created for this aircraft (usable in ALL versions of the sim). Damage tgas are incuded here as well, just in case you happen to get shot up....
 
This mod is designed for use with, I'm hoping, ANY weapons pak. You may just need to add a few things. If you've already added the weapons provided from another mod or weapons pak, you need not add them again. The data ini has been extensiverly expanded from the Manta mod, to include the new 'fake pilot seat' pylons that have been added for weapons carriage. Depending on the year flown you'll either have US AIM-9B Sidewinders or RAF Firestreak IRMs. It has been set to use the stock 3rdWire 100 gallon drop tank, and the stock UK bombs. The SNEB rocket pod, for use on CAS mission, should be available in just about all the weapons paks.
Some tweeking of the Flight Model, mostly the "StallMoment" line for the wings, have been incorporated. The aircraft handles EXCEPTIONALLY well for such an old model.
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft has been tested in Post-Patch SF/WoV/WoE/WoI & SF2. In fact, I tested it EXTENSIVELY in SF2 to be sure it would work ok! Be advised of the existence of some handling issues prevelant in WW2 era and many Pre-Patch (ie: 06 level) aircraft. Fly accordingly!!!.
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder somwhere, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions.
 
Good Hunting!

Jimmybib and Sundowner for initial consultation on skinning and all credit to Sundowner for producing the final skins which are superb.
 
Moonjumper for his advice on some avionics matters
 
All of you for you encouragement and kind words through it's development
 
My Producers....etc...etc :) Oh god I'm going to cry..
 
Anyway I decided to release slightly early because I'd like some of you to enjoy tweaking this thing, theres alot of talent out there who can make this thing great.
 
 
Absolutely no part of this is to be used in payware but moddify the model any way you wish and re distribute in your own freeware mods as you wish with no permission required from me, just give me the relevant credit.
 
The skins are Sundowners so ask him if you wish to make mods of them.
 
Enjoy...
 
**************************************************************************
 
 
INSTALL: Simply extract contents of "EF-2000 Typhoon" folder into your MOD folder
 
 
NOTES: Includes recent pilot and seat fix for SF2 series posted by Sundowner so this pack is as up to date as possible.
Also, again please note I only did the conversion, the guys above did the hard work.
 
03/07/2009 - added afterburner effects!
 
Until the next time I bore you to death with my uniform ReadMe's that are basically an edited copy of original ones - enjoy. xD

Mig-21M
 
 
The Mig-21M (modernizeerovannyy) was the export version of the Mig-21S (Sapfeer-21 radar), the first fighter of the third generation Mig-21s.
 
Both NATO nickname was Fishbed-J, the engine was the Soyuz R11F2S-300.
 
It differed from the domestic version in two important respects: the downgraded (simplified) avionics and the built-in GSh-23L gun.
 
The Mig-21MF (modernizeerovannyy forseerovannyy), the export version of the Mig-21SM (S-modernizeerovannyy), all named Fishbed-J too, had the more powerfull engine Soyuz R13-300, the rear view periscope and two blast deflectors below the blow-in doors.
 
The Mig-21M was exported in East Germany (87), Poland (36), Czechoslovakia (24), Romania (60), Yugoslavia (25), Bulgaria (15), Syria (12), Egypt (12) and India.
 
The IAF had 65 Soviet-built Mig-21M (izdeliye 96) were called in India Mig-21MF, but the Indian-built Type-88(izdeliye 96F) , very similar to soviet Mig-21MF, was called Mig-21M , that caused some misunderstandings …..
 
This is taken from Yefim Gordon’s Mig-21 masterpiece.
 
There was’nt in TW/TK simulations.
 
So I started from the Mig-21MF and removed the periscope and the blast deflectors, changed the engine stats (data taken from previous Mig-21S mod), made some other editings (performances and weapons) took some stock MF skins (Soviet, Syrian and Eaf), made new ones and historical known serial numbers.
 
I was not able to remove periscope from inside the cockpit, if someone could , do it please.
 
Because some Mig-21M were sometime “retrofitted” with periscope and blast plates, I included in the pack a dedicated “retrofitted” data.ini. You have only to change it with the stock one.
In this way the plane is identical in shape to Mig-21MF.
 
In fact the IAF planes were “retrofitted”.
 
 
*** * ***
 
The new skins included:
 
1) LSK Silver & Camo with historical serial numbers (made on Souli’s original work as usual) and “Q” quality marks on appropriate planes;
2) PWL Silver with historical serial numbers;
3) Yugo Silver with historical serial numbers;
4) IAF Silver & Camo with known historical serial numbers;
5) FAR Silver with historical serial numbers;
 
Stock Soviet, EAF and Syrian skin included.
 
Credits (I hope no mistake ..):
 
- Ordway for his wonderfull cockipt;
- Spillone-104 for dedicated sound;
- Soulfreak for LSK stencils
 
To install: simply put everithing in your mod SF-2 folder.
 
Pictures and Screenshots as usual.
 
Happy fly.
Paolo
 
 
 
 
P.S. this is an "open mod" everyone can help with historical references or FM tuning.

Fictional VF-1 Wolfpack squadron by "Caesar"
 
Install Instructions:
 
Copy XVF1 folder into your F-14A folder, and add the following to F-14A.ini:
 
[TextureSetxxx]
Name=VF-1 Wolfpack
Nation=USN
Squadron=VF1
Specular=0.300000
Glossiness=0.500000
Reflection=0.000000
 
If you have not done so, add the following to your squadronlist.ini
 
[squadronxxx]
Name=VF1
DisplayName=VF-1 'Wolfpack'
Nation=USN
 
This is a fictional paint scheme for VF-1 Wolfpack, and is also my first low-viz scheme relying heavily on decals. This scheme is designed to combine the late 1970's to early 1980's low-viz scheme worn by the Wolfpack with the original scheme from 1972 before all aircraft had been delivered, providing hi-viz colors to the CAG and XO a/c. Aircraft numbers, BuNo's and notes are as follows:
 
Aircraft BuNo Notes:
NK100 158979 CAG bird in 1977
NK101 158627 XO's bird from 1973-1979

NK115 158629 Lost on 18 June 2000 at NAS Willow Grove, both crew killed
 
Thanks to the Mirage Factory for this amazing aircraft, and if you haven't gotten it already, I'd strongly reccomend the Tomcat cockpit repaint by The Trooper. It rocks, baby!

F-105F and G Thunderchief introduction & History
***********************************
 
 
The F-105F was heavily committed to combat over Southeast Asia. Some were quickly adapted for the "Wild Weasel" air-defense suppression role, fitted with electronics to detect enemy radars and target air defense sites for destruction in advance of strike packages. The original Air Force "Wild Weasel I" was a modified two-seat North American F-100F Super Sabre, but the F-100 wasn't fast enough to keep up with F-105 strike packages, and so the F-105F was selected for the role.
 
The major elements of the modification were addition of the "APR-25 Radar Homing And Warning (RHAW)" system, which picked up and located radar sites; the "APR-26 Launch Warning Receiver (LWR)", which provided warning of a missile launch; and an "IR-133 Scan Receiver" to search for emitters. The back-seat "electronics warfare officer (EWO)" controlled these devices and had a cockpit CRT to help locate targets.
 
The first such F-105F "Wild Weasel II", sometimes informally known as an "EF-105F", performed its first flight on 15 January 1966, and the Wild Weasel Thuds were engaged in active combat by the spring of that year. A total of 86 Wild Weasel F-105F conversions were performed.
 
The Wild Weasel F-105F was armed with the new "AGM-45 Shrike Anti-Radar Missile (ARM)", a modified Sparrow AAM with a radar-homing head, to destroy radar transmitters, and attacked air-defense sites with CBU-24 cluster bombs and other munitions. Sometimes Wild Weasel F-105Fs worked with F-105Ds in "hunter-killer" teams, with the Wild Weasel Thud pinpointing the target and the F-105Ds destroying it.
 
While other aircraft could avoid air-defense sites when possible, Wild Weasels actually had to attract their attention and take them on. This led to the Wild Weasel motto, which was "YGBSM", standing for "You Gotta Be s**ttin' Me!" Apparently this was the reaction of the first Wild Weasel aircrews when they were told what they were getting themselves into.
 
Wild Weasel crews were generally gutsy sorts, and they evolved tactics for outflying SAMs launched at them. They would watch for a missile launch, and then fly straight at the SAM at high speed, turning at the last moment. The fast-moving SAM would not be able to turn quickly enough to bring the fighter into the blast radius of its warhead.
 
 
Two Wild Weasel F-105F pilots won the highest American military award, the Congressional Medal of Honor. On 10 March 1967, Captain Merlyn F. Dethlefsen was piloting one of four Wild Weasel Thuds paving the way for a strike package. The leader was shot down by anti-aircraft fire, and North Vietnamese MiG-21 fighter made repeated passes on the survivors, trying to force them to dump their ordnance. Dethlefsen pressed home the attack anyway and destroyed the site. All three surviving Wild Weasels returned home with severe damage. Dethlefsen was personally awarded the medal by President Johnson.
 
On 19 April 1967, Lieutenant Colonel Leo K. Thorsness had completed a Wild Weasel strike when his wingmates were shot down. He was low on fuel but stayed around to cover the air rescue operation, driving of a flight of MiG-17s that tried to interfere. Thorsness shot down one MiG and damaged another. He passed up an opportunity to refuel from a tanker when another aircraft breathing fumes showed up, and landed safely at Ubon, a forward base in Thailand.
 
On 30 April, Thorsness' F-105 was hit and badly damaged. He and his EWO ejected, Thorsness being badly injured in the process, and were captured by the North Vietnamese. They spent over six years in a North Vietnamese POW camp.
 
* 56 Wild Weasel F-105Fs were later updated to an improved "Wild Weasel III" configuration with the designation "F-105G", featuring improved avionics, as well as jammer pods that were faired into the forward fuselage, freeing up the underwing pylons for other stores. 14 of the F-105Gs were further modified to carry the big AGM-78 "Standard Anti-Radar Missile (STARM)", an air-launched variant of the US Navy's "Standard" SAM.

------- ORIGINAL RELEASE -------------------------
 
F-86K (Early Model) Sabre by Bunyap, Fubar512.
Skins by USAFMTL and Sundowner.
Original 3D model by Zur.
 
This is the early F-86K (pre ser number 56-4116) with the narrow chord wing. Later Ks had the extended F-40 wing and earlier ones were retrofitted. I'll have those when the L is done...
 
Put the plane in your aircraft folder. The skins are semi accurate based on the vague info I have on the K models of W Germany and Italy. Sleepy Sweeper is going to hook up the Norwegian Kilos. ( I think)
 
Make sure you have the latest wep pack to get the F-86 drop tanks.
 
Also in an update to the F-86D-45 which fixes the lights postions. Put that file in your main F-86D-45 folder and overwrite.

Final notes
 
This is good for taking out bombers. If you are lucky. Dogfighting fighters in it though, forget it. You will be able to see what the pilots of this aircraft had to go through in case of a war. It was not a ground attack aircraft, it was used for intercepts, high speed recon (if ever) and CAP's over the US and Canada. Good luck, you will need it.

#INSTALLATION
 
The setup for this mod is designed to use the Thirdwire first generation folder structure patched
to 10-08 standard, the latest one as per july 2009!
 
1) Unzip the "Hunter FGA9" folder to a temporary place where it is easy to find.
 
2) Add the data from "Hunter Pylon_Weapondata.txt" to your weapondata.ini and save it with the weapons editor.
This step is mandatory in order to get a visible pylon for the Sidewinder.
 
3) Copy the "Hunter_FGA9" folder to your "Aircraft" directory.
 
4) In the case that you do not use the community weapons pack 2.52 (available at CombatAce.com, link below),
you may have to add the data from "Weapons\Ordnance_Weapondata.txt" to your weapondata.ini and copy
the needed folders in "Weapons" in your weapon directory.
 
 
#ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 
This is mainly a INI rework to turn a SFP1 Hunter F6 (also available at CA, link below) in a
Hunter FGA9 ground attack aircraft. It uses some data (namely the Hunter Pylon and a cockpit) of
another Hunter Mod by ndicki (it could also be downloaded at CA, link below).
 
I did not research a large amount of historical fidelity - it looks like sidewinder pylons were only
mounted on exported and so customised Hunters - like planes of the Rhodesian Airforce.
 
I've tested the plane on a Strike Fighters Project 1 install patched to Oct.-08 level with the
community weapons pack 2.52 installed.

#DOCUMENTATION
 
1) The FM and the rest of the aircraft_data.ini comes mainly from the Hunter F6 model. Changes include
the removing of the rocket rails and the adding of the Sidewinder stations.
 
2) The loadout.ini is my creation.
 
3) The LOD's, hangar, loading and loadout screens are simply renamed versions of the F6 versions.

#CREDITS
 
The Hunter F6 was done by:
 
- Modelling likely by ArmorDave. Skins by Sundowner, Gramps. Other contributors according to the
readme were Diego, Marcelo without naming their contribution. The upload at CA was done by USAFMTL.
 
The Rhodesian Hunter was a coproduction too (quote from the ReadMe of it):
 
- "Spinners modified the Thirdwire stock Hunter FGA.9 to make it flyable, and fitted the cockpit.
The weapons pylon and rail was made specially by Alex "AleDucat" Ducat.
Modifications to ini files, stock weapons, screens and skin by Nigel "ndicki" Dickinson.
Ideas and support from Josh 'Jeremiah Weed' "
 
 
I apologize for any forgotten people in the credits, please notify me in case of any lack of correctness.
That is my first try at a modification and so my first little publication - any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
 
I want to say "Thank you" at Wrench, moderator at CombatAce, for some useful hints. Thanks also for the rest
of the Thirdwire community!
