OA-4M Skyhawk
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-HYSTORY-
 
The designation OA-4M was assigned to 23 TA-4Fs that were reworked at NAS Pensacola to act as fast forward air controller aircraft for the Marine Corps. The OA-4M was basically a TA-4F equipped with the electronics of the A-4M, the main US Marine Corps close support aircraft.
The modifications included a ground control bombing system, a KY-28 secure voice system, a canted midair refuelling probe, extra cockpit side armor plating, an APN-194 altimeter, and ARC-159 radio and ARC-114 VHF radio. Perhaps the most visible change was the fitting of the
dorsal electronics hump, neatly faired into the rear of the two-seat canopy. The nose sensor group of the OA-4M was basically the same as that of the A-4M, but the Angle/Rate Bombing system was not fitted, and the laser spotting and tracking window was faired over, since neither
of these were needed on an aircraft which was not to be employed in a pure bombing role.
Some consideration was given to fitting the 11,200 lb.s.t Pratt & Whitney J52-P-408 of the A-4M, but this turned out to be impractical, and the OA-4M retained the J52-P-8 of the TA-4F.
The first OA-4M, BuNo 165294 was tested at NATC Patuxent River, MD in July of 1978. The first squadron to receive the OA-4M was H&MS-52, based at MCAS Cherry Point, NC.

This package includes all the files necessary to transforn default summer GermanyCE terrain into fall one.
 
Incuded are all tiles repainted, new tod files and objects graphics.
 
Part of this package is brand new version 2.0 of "Forests and Farms" mod, with added cities and scaled down trees. Also new variables reduce the pop-ups of trees.
 
It's part of a bigger project called "Seasoned WOE", after finishing all four seasons I'll release data files and instructions needed to create true four-seasons Germany terrain.

This skin depicts the F-86 "MIG POISON" flown by Maj James Hagerstrom,of the 67th FBG,out of Osan AB,in May of 1953.I used the basic Silver Saber skin I got from Scandy's Skins along time ago which I thank them for and hope they approve and also a lot of my own Photoshop work.

Falklands War-era Weapons Mini-Pack
 
 
This is a small collection of skins for weapons used in the 1982 South Atlantic conflict by both British and Argentine forces. They are made with the Falklands All-Inclusive Mod by Kesselbrut in mind but, should you wish to do so, you can use them in any mod you like. I have chosen to include new LOD files available via the SF/WO* Community Weapons Pack since some skins are purposely designed for them and will not work with stock FLK Mod ones. However, I encourage you to download the Weapons Pack as it contains literally tonnes of new weapons ready for use.
 
You'll get two skins and LOD files for different AIM-9 Sidewinder missile ("G" and "L") models. The Sidewinder "Lima" model was the latest and newest in short-range heat-seeking missiles in the Falklands War and is responsible for downing over 20 Argentine aircraft in air-to-air combat. It's meant to be available for the RAF Harrier GR.3 and RN Sea Harrier FRS.1. The GBU-123/B (LOD and skin included) is a 1000lb British Mk13/18 free-fall bomb fitted with a Paveway II laser guidance kit. It was used, despite a few early miss drops given crew's unfamiliarity with the system, with great success by RAF Harrier GR.3 aicraft having targets designated for them by ground forces.
 
Argentine weapons included are the French-built Matra R550 Magic I AAM. Aircraft that should be able to carry it are the Argentine Air Force Mirage MIIIEA and Navy - Comando Aéreo Naval - Super Étendard... and last but not least, perhaps what was known as the most fearsome weapon in the combat theatre of operations: the Aèrospatiale AM39 Exocet air-to-surface missile, a weapon that caused severe losses to the Royal Navy Task Force by taking out HMS Sheffield, a Type 42 destroyer, and Atlantic Conveyor, which carried vital supplies for the British forces attempting to re-take the islands. This is the primary anti-surface weapon for the Super Étendard.

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.

New textures for Korea terrain.

Introduction
------------
The Atlas Cheetah programme grew out of South Africa's requirement for a modern fighter and strike aircraft in the 1980s. There was a need for more advanced aircraft to attain an edge over the ever more sophisticated Soviet aircraft such as the MiG-23 being supplied to Angolan and Cuban forces in action against South African forces in the Border War. Furthermore, the increasing cost of maintenance due to sanctions and the age of the aircraft used by SAAF had to be addressed. The arms embargo imposed at the time by United Nations Security Council Resolution 418 prevented South Africa from purchasing new aircraft from other countries, thus making an upgrade of existing aircraft the only option. By this stage, the South African aviation industry had reached the level of technical capability to make a large and sophisticated upgrade possible, leading the SAAF to make the only possible decision, to radically upgrade one of the existing types in service.
 
At the time the SAAF's fast jet fleet consisted of Dassault Mirage III (EZ/CZ/BZ/DZ/D2Z/RZ/R2Z) aircraft and Mirage F1 (AZ/CZ) aircraft. Though the Mirage F1s were the most modern of the fleet, having been delivered from 1977 onwards, they were the primary element of South Africa's air defence and strike fleet and to withdraw them for an upgrade would have left an unacceptable gap in its air defence and strike capability. In addition there were already a few successful Mirage III upgrades from which to learn, such as the Kfir and Mirage III NG, so the SAAF's Mirage III fleet was chosen as the basis for the upgrade.
(Source: Wikipedia)
 
This mod, based on Mirage Factory's Mirage IIIE and using (temporarily) the cockpit from the Kfir C7, represents the ultimate evolution of the Mirage III family, the Atlas Cheetah C.
 
 
Credits
-------
Thanks to Olivier ANGUILLE and the whole of Mirage Factory for his great airplanes, as well as for his kind permission to distribute his model packed with my mod, making installation easy.
 
My thanks also go to Anton Dyason from IPMS SA (http://newsite.ipmssa.za.org/) for his permission to use some of his pictures for the hangar screen.

Add-On

This is the Tornado F.3 skin from the Tornado Maintanence school at RAF Marham in Norfolk. Its for the Avsim Tornado F.3, so dont expect the texture to be all that good. I plan to do one for Bobrock's Tornado F.3, well with his permission anyway.
 
Hope you like the skin

An inflight map icon pack to give you a bit more to choose from with how
you want friendly and enemy flights to appear on the inflight map.
 
Friendly icons in blue consist of the top profile views of: A-10, F-14, F-16,
F/A-18, F-22, Tornado, and Typhoon.
 
Enemy icons in red consist of the top profile views of: Mig-23/27, Flanker,
and a Mig-25. I tried to think of some more air frames that could be used
to describe an enemy flight, but those are the 3, and the Mig-23/27 also
looks a lot like a Su-24 or was it a Su-25?
 
.........................................................................
 
Installation: MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO..... MAKE BACK-UPs OF THE ORIGINAL
FILES. Next, remove the digit after which friendly and enemy icon that you
want in this folder, copy them, and then paste them into the Flight folder
of your SFP-1(G), WOV, WOE, and/or WOI.
 
 
This mod was made by me, serverandenforcer.

A MiG-24-Otherwise a modded J-8. Read the Readmes!

This little mod adds "fake' bailed out pilots ejecting from heavily damaged burning planes, that fall slowly on their parachutes into ground.
 
Just unzip to your Effects folder, and please read the readme.

Update to Inflight Map Icons 08DEC2008
...................................................................................
SUMMARY
...................................................................................
The problem with the previous version was because I accidentally sent the compressed
file version. Sorry about that.
 
These two icons will change the inflight map icons for friendly and enemy aircraft.
The friendly icons now show up in blue as the top profile of a F-15. The enemy
icons show up in red as the top profile of a Mig-29.
 
 
...................................................................................
INSTRUCTIONS
...................................................................................
Back-up and save your current inflight map icons. Copy and paste the Flight folder
into your SFP1(G)/WOV/WOE/WOI folder.

I made this because the other Mirage I had wouldn't work. It's a mod of the Taiwanese Mirage 2000-5.
 
 
WARNING!
RETAINS OLD AIRCRAFT FILE NAME!

this is a skin for FMA IA-63-PAMPA, this skin corresponds to
SERIE II of the model.

this will add extra hardpoints to the LightningF6. this file does not contain the actual LightningF6 you will have to download that first.

The Roar of the Bear!
 
I'm not responsible for damage to your ears.....

Version 1.0
 
This mod will allow you to add a personalized photo attached with a piece of tape to just about any cockpit.
 
 
Things you will need:
 
1. Any version of a ThirdWire sim patched to Oct 08 or newer.
 
2. A graphics editing program (Gimp, Paint.net, Adobe Photoshop, etc) that can work with .bmp files.
 
3. (Optional) CAT Extractor, located here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...mp;showfile=343
 
 
*********************CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION*********************************
 
This mod will change how the cockpit interacts with the external model. You may need to do multiple adjustments depending on how they relate to each other. If you are NOT willing to be ready to do this, DO NOT install this mod.
 
The technique used is similiar to what was done in this thread (and can have the same pitfalls): http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=32148
 
*********************CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION*********************************
 
 
 
Notes:
 
This still relies on the FE Open Cockpit method to make outside parts visible inside the cockpit.
 
The 'photo' will be visible externally as well, but only for a very short distance...in other words, you won't see it outside unless you're very close up.
