PZL 230-F Skorpion Ver 1.0
--------------------------------------------------
 
By Leopardo
 
Dated 20th April 2009
 
Thanks to Bongodriver and AleDucat for their models that I used to learn. Thanks to everybody who post their addons that I used to learn and create this aircraft.
 
The PZL 230-F Skorpion was a polish design, at the 90's, of a multifunction aircraft, specially ground attack. It was cancelled, but not before it was request co-operation to EADS-CASA in Spain to help in the design.
 
I have carried out the aircraft as it was produced and it was used at Poland, Spain and Germany inside de NATO.
 
For the time being it uses the cockpit fron the Eurofighter of Bongodriver until I create a cockpit. The FM only work in normal mode, the hard mode is at "TO DO" stage.
 
-Installation instructions:
 
Just install the aircraft into your objects/aircraft folder.
 
Put the weapons folder in objects folder. If you have a weapons pack installed then that folder will already be there. In that case take the contents and put them in the weapons folder. The data you need to add is at the end of this file.
 
To use the squadrons fron Ejercito del Aire, you have to add the data at the end of this file.
 
You must have ACESSII seat from AleDucat y pilot from Eurofighter from Bongodriver.
 
It should work in SF/WOE/WOV/WOI.
 
(Sorry for my english, I am not fluent in it)
 
---------------
 
El PZL 230-F Skorpion fue un desarrollo polaco, allá por los años 90, de un avión multifunción y de ataque a tierra. Llegó a un estado de desarrollo bastante avanzado antes de cancelarse, incluso se solicito ayuda a EADS-CASA en España para colaborar en el diseño.
 
He realizado el avión como si hubiese sido desarrollado totalmente y se hubiese empleado tanto en Polonia, España y Alemania dentro de la OTAN.
 
Por ahora utilizo la cabina del Eurofigter de Bongodriver hasta que prepare una cabina propia. El FM no funciona nada más que en "normal mode", en "hard mode" es involable.
 
-Intrucciones:
 
Copia el avión en la carpeta objects/aircraft folder.
 
Pon la carpeta weapons en la carpeta object. Si ya tienen un weapons pack instalado, simplemente copia el contenido en el. Los datos a añadir están al final de este archivo.
 
Para usar los escuadrones del Ejercito del Aire, debes añadir a archivo SQUADRONLIST.INI dentro de la carpeta pilotdata los datos del final de este archivo.
 
Debes tener el asiento ACESSII de AleDucat y el pilot del Eurofighter de Bingodriver.
 
Debería funcionar en SF/WOE/WOV/WOI.

MiG-17PFU Fresco-E upgrade Ver.2 for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE/WoI and maybe SF2/SF2-V


 

Version 2.5ish Upgrade 4/20/09


 
This is a simple upgrade that will bring this aircraft to the latest patch standards (08 Level)
This is ALL the other mods complied into a complete package, all inclusive, and is designed to TOTALLY replace any earlier upgrades..
 
The changes implimented herein are mostly in the switching of the Izumrud nose bubble to a 'pilot seat', ala FastCargo's trick. This will allow it to show on aircraft parked on the line. Included is Mago/Paladrain's cockpit from the PFM. While not a perfect match, it's the 'bestest closest fit', and works REALLY nicely!!
 
The avionics ini has been updated to include an audio-only RWR; not sure of what type, probably some kind of a Serina, but it does work. The cockpit ini has also been modified to use the original style radar and radar display that Pasko created. No other changes have been made to it. So the instructions given in the original 'readme' still apply for target aquisition, tracking and firing. The is the 'Interception Procedures.txt' included in the main folder.
 
You'll also find an updated data ini to 08 standards The data ini also has had the gun aim angles adjusted to fire almost perfectly through the center of the sight. Given the lack of ammo in Red Air, this ought to be a big help. You'll also find working landing lights for those pesky night intercepts....you never know when the Political Officer will wander across the runway, drunk as a skunk. This'll allow you to see him and swerve to miss (or not)
 
It is designed for use with any/all weapons paks, or none. I've incuded the Alkali A & B missiles from the 06 Bunyap Pak; still in their RS-2US and RS-2U naming conventions, in the 'seperate folder' format now usable in all post patch games. For those with SF2 and SF2:V, the weapons data ini for each missile is included in each of the folders. As I don't have these games, you all'll have to figure out the numbering on your own. But, with TKs release of the SF2 weapons editor, this should pose no major problem
 
As always, it's reccomened you unzip this package to a temp folder, or your desktop, to gain access to the rest of this readme for the full, easy to follow install instructions.
 
Good Hunting!

MiG-17PF Fresco-D upgrade -Ver2.0 for SF/SFG/ WoV/WoE/WoI and maybe SF2 & SF2-V


 

Updated to Ver. 2 4/20/09


 
This version is designed to completly REPLACE the mod I released some time ago.....
 
This is an almost complete rebuild of Madcaddie's MiG-17PF 'Fresco-D' limited all-weather, radar equipped interceptor. This has been tweeked to use a modified UV-16 rocket pod as an air-to-air weapon, along with a new-ish version of the S-5 unguided rocket.
Most of the data for this weapons tweek was worked out by Lexx_Luthor in a thread over at the 3rd Wire Message Boards, using some data I've discoverd in the past. (see "Notes" section below for more details). The Flight Model parameters themselves have been copied directly from the latest Fresco-C's, so they are the most current (as of the 08 Patches for WoE).
 
I'm releasing the ENTIRE aircraft, minus the lods of course, as they exist in all versions of the game,
EVERYTHING is included, all the inis, new 'SovietSilver' larger skin bumps, etc.
Also included is the cockpit, basically Mago/Paladrin's MiG-21MF; with some small modifications to the radar display. And, ONLY available in this mod, a new WoE-style Hangar Screen; the original 'artwork' type is also still included
 
This is a completly new skin, created from a new template, made by me, based off the original 3rdW units. I've resized it up to 1024x1024, with completly redrawn rivet and panel lines. Also included is a revamped "M17PF.bmp" for the nose radar bubble, also resized and repainted.
 
You =WILL= be using the weapons editor to add the new rockets and rocket pod!!!!!
 
==IT IS HIGHLY SUGGESTED YOU HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS EDITOR==
 
As always, it's reccomened you unzip this package to a temp folder, or your desktop, to gain access to the rest of this readme for the full, easy to follow install instructions. Well, almost easy...don't forget you'll be adding weapons, if you've not downloaded this before...
 
Happy Hunting!!

MiG-17PF (SP-16) Fresco-D upgrade for SF/SG/ WoV/WoE/WoI and maybe SF2 & SF2-V
 
UPDATED 4/21/09


 
This version is designed to completly REPLACE the mod I released some time ago.....
 
This is an almost complete rebuild of Madcaddie's MiG-17PF (SP-16) 'Fresco-D' limited all-weather, radar equipped interceptor. This has been tweeked to use a modified UV-16 rocket pod as an air-to-air weapon, along with new-ish versions of the S-5 unguided rocket. This aircraft is also equiped with the RS-2U 'Alkali' beam-riding missile. This mod also makes ue of the 'station specific code' for the rocket pods, disallowing the use of other weapons as a saftey measure.
 
Most of the data for this weapons tweek was worked out by Lexx_Luthor in a thread over at the 3rd Wire Message Boards, using some data I've discoverd in the past. (see "Notes" section below for more details). The Flight Model parameters themselves have been copied directly from the latest Fresco-C's, so they are the most current.

And, ONLY available in this mod, a new WoE-style Hangar Screen; the original 'artwork' type is also still included
 
You =WILL= be using the weapons editor to add the new rockets and rocket pod, if you are adding this mod for the first time. However, there HAS been a slight change in the UV-16AA rocket pod. These changes are documented below, in the "Weapons Installation" section.
 
== IT IS HIGHLY SUGGESTED YOU HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS EDITOR ==
 
As always, it's reccomened you unzip this package to a temp folder, or your desktop, to gain access to the rest of this readme for the full, easy to follow install instructions.
 
Or, in other words.....
 
You WILL also be reading the enclosed readme, by order of the State Ministry of Instructions, which contains fully detailed, step by step procedures for installation. There is also a substantial section by Comrade "General Notes", that you will find interestering and explanitory. If not, the uranium mines of Siberia await....
 

 
Enjoy!

The Advanced Super Tomcat (ASF-14) was a proposed upgrade to the F-14D
more info here:
 
http://www.anft.net/f-14/f14-history-f14x.htm
 
This is my first project so it may have many issues, the known ones are in the readme file.
 
Installation instructions and more details in readme.

This is an alternate flight model I developed about a year before the F-102A Delta Dagger was released by Veltro2K. It is based on Pasko's F-106 flight model, but modified in deliberate ways. I used Mirage 3 flight models as a guide as well as it is underpowered and has that huge hanging delta.
 
After I finished, I stop watch timed its climb compared to the F-106, and it matched the specs very closely if I remember right.
 
I added more drag as well because of the more forward air inlets and other drag producing features. I played with the engine thrust until the climbing numbers worked out.
 
Although a beautiful flying airplane, it bleeds off speed much faster than the F-106 (and the standard released F-102A) in high G situations due to less engine power and more drag. It also climbs much slower, but still not bad compared to contemporaires.
 
However, It really is not a dogfighter as some would claim the later more powerful and more refined F-106 was. I have dogfighted this flight model against all types of early Migs to the Mig-21. If you keep fast and boom and zoom with its incredible radar system, you can equal the Mig-21 and sometimes kill one.
 
Thanks to Pasko for his incredible F-106 flight model.
 
V.3 changes.
The drop tanks are now droppable. Thanks Lexx_Luthor.
It was Pasko's F-106 flight model not Dave's that I based the F-102 on. Thanks Dave.
The pilot in the extenal view in now in the cockpit which some people had problems with depending on how much had been added.
 
 
Instructions:
 
1-Backup your files! (This time I really mean it...you may not like the flight model!)
 
2- Unzip the contents of the F-102 flight model folder to ...\SFP1\Objects\Aircraft\F-102A\.
 
3-When prompted, overwrite the files.
Enjoy!

Here are some Cold War themed desktop icons for use with the Third Wire series. Some have text while others do not. I tried to be creative with these and there are a variety to choose from.
 
NOTICE
 
The icons in this package were created from 48X48 bitmap images. Converting them into a windows desktop icon takes them down to 32X32. Some of these I have found to be not very clear when using them in a default Windows XP setup. Some look just fine at this size but some do not.(Some text is hard to see) I just started using a shareware version of something called IconX that essentially makes my Windows XP icons look more like Vista icons. This program allows me to basically enlarge the icons to any level while at the same time scaling them appropriately so that they do not loose any visual quality. So with this program for example, all of the icons are large and clear for me. I don't use Windows Vista so I do not know how these icons will scale for you folks. I assume you all won't have issues with them as Vista icons seem to have been designed much larger and with more versatility than XP.(Please forgive my ignorance here I just don't know much about it and I'm still learning)
 
As a result there are two packs in one here. A zip with the icons and a zip with the original 48X48 bitmaps. That way if someone has a specific need or adjustment they must make to get the most out of these icons, the original bitmaps are available to them to tweak as needed.
 
The download zip is called "Cold War Icons and Bitmaps". Inside this are the "Cold War Icons" zip and the "Cold War 48X48 Bitmaps" zip.
Just extract these zips to a temporary place and have a look and see what you can use. Also have at the provided bitmaps if you would like.
 
Thanks again,
Coot

This aircraft depicts an F-102A Delta Dagger of the 196th FIS, 163 FIG, California ANG based at Ontario Int'l airport near Los Angeles from May 1965 to March 1975.
Special thanks to Veltro2K for this model and all who put work into this aircraft along with Starfighter who always helps me with these skins.....
 
Hope you enjoy, Pappy
 
Any comments to improve this skin would be appreciated...

These F-102A loading screens were made by me about a year before Velto2K released his fantastic F-102A.
 
These have a more original Third Wire look.

Instructions:
 
1. Unzip contents.
2. Just dump the contents into Veltro2Ks F-102 folder and that's it.
3. Say yes to overwrite the files.
4. Remember to backup your files.
 
Enjoy!
