Afghanistan Terrain Preview
========================
 
I.
AFGHANISTAN Terrain IS MADE FOR WINGS OVER ISRAEL (WOI) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This package is a work in progress preview. It should allow you a short view into this project. It is far away to be finished. Also, dont worry if you find bugs.
 
***************************************
II.
From December 1979 till now Afghanistan is a land in war. Soviets, Dushmans, Mudjahedin, Warlords, Taliban and Americans (OEF) destroyed the once florish land nearly completly.
 
-At the moment i have only 2 airbases operational as skeleton airfields. They still have to be finished.
-The terrain is only made between Bagram and Jalalabad. There you will find Taliban pockets of resistance.
- Missions which can be flown are CAS, Armed Recon, Recon, Strike,SEAD
-Air to air missions are impossible, because no taliban airfield is set (as historical correct)
 
-I recommend a seperate installation of WOI for Afghanistan terrain. The new nations.ini would otherwise make trouble with other terrains. (I set all nations = friendly, only Afghanistan= Enemy
So you can fly for the Soviets and the OEF troops( USA,UK,NL etc) against the same Enemy)
You can delete not needed planes (for instance Mirages) and groundobjects (SAM, Radar,most tanks etc) and you can include needed planes, like the Mi-24 or the A-10 more easily.
 
*******************************************
III.
INSTALLATION:
 
-Unzip the file into your Wings over Israel
 
Thats it!
 
 
******************************************
IV. Credits
At this place i want to say thank you to Geo for his permission to use his SquadCent files which i modified into Taliban warriors etc. And to Wrench for the Stinger site which i modified into Blowpipe and Strela site.
 
*******************************************
 
V.
Afghanistan Terrain IS FREEWARE. COMMERCIAL USE IS NOT ALLOWED.
Sharing of Groundobjects which are part of this package needs the permission of their makers.
 
If you find bugs please post them in StrikeFighters section of Combatace.com forum.

Hope you enjoy it. Good Hunting along the Jalalabad road!

Hi there this is a mod to replace the stock Nakhon Phanom RTAFB with a more real representation.
 
Detailed insturctions are to be found and followed in the readme_NKP.txt.
 
Have fun with it.

Third skin in the series for the Battle of Britain Me-109e. This skin uses a different overpainting technique. The standard 71/02/65 scheme has been hastily overpainted on the sides in RLM 71 using a paintbrush. Two bitmaps are included in this skin; one with overpainting, the other a standard 71/02/65. You could use this standard paint scheme for any of your Me-109e skins, just rename 109ETexA.BMP by removing the A after renaming your original bitmap. Also enclosed is a complete readme.
 
My thanks go out to Russo, Wrench, and Gocad for the use of their files, and their help and ideas. Any questions or problems, pm me.
 
Hope you enjoy,

Updated for Sept 08 Patch
 
This is a mod to Wings Over Europe's GermanyCE Terrain, that modifies 13 sections of highway into airstrips that are usable for single missions, any mission editor, and campaigns. The runway size is set to SMALL, so only aircraft with a "MinBaseSize=SMALL" can use them. This mod does not modify any of the stock campaigns to use the new runways, but I did include instructions if you would like to do this.
 
Please read the README.

EA-6B Prowler by Hawker
 
Much appreciated help from Eightlein for the wing fold/canopy open data.ini
Use shift 0 (Zero) for those two animations.
 
and
Capun for his work on fixing serperating the animations and fixing the tailhook problem.
Press H as standard for the hook to retract.
 
I can't really claim any credit for anything other then putting it all together.
 
Thanks again to Capun and Eightlein.

Drop in EA-6B folder and overwrite existing file.
Seriously doubt you'll want to keep the old files.

Wings Over Europe (WOE) F-15A avionics enhancement v1.0
 
by :
MoonJumper ( avionics, ini tweaks )
 
For WOE with patch WOE_Sep2008_Update applied.
 
Install instructions included.

These files update the decals for my Me109e skins. I inadvertantly uploaded files with miskeyed decal levels for the kill markings that would prevent them from showing. I also uploaded an old version of the JG3 decal folder that lacked the kill marking decals. My apologies.
 
Just unzip these to a temporary directory and copy and paste the enclosed decal.ini and D folder into the proper skins folders. These have been tested and do work.
 
Learning the hard way....

Second skin in a series for Russo's Me109e. This skin represents 8/JG2 during the summer of 1940 and uses the speckling technique of overpainting common to aircraft of this Geshwader. The base scheme is a standard RLM 71/02 upper surface with lower surfaces in RLM 65. Nose and tail overpainted in RLM 04. All colors in this series are based on the standard values found at SimmersPaintShop, but are interpreted by me as far as fading goes, so they will appear different from other skins, or profiles, you might have seen. Also, my aircraft numbers appear in a more random order, because this is how I feel aircraft were flown in the field.
 
All skins in this series borrow heavily from Russouk2004's .psd. I am indebted to him, and to Wrench, for their help. A full readme file is enclosed. If you want to mod this, feel free, I believe in the Freeware agreement I signed on to, just give credit where credit is due.
 
Hope you like it.

VMFA-323 'Death Rattlers' fictional reality TM scheme for Klavs' F-35A

Read the text file for further instructions.

Mirage 2000 grey skin.
 
A nice adaptation of the skin made by Torno,
now including 8 serial numbers.
The skin represents planes of the Egyptian
82 Squadron in overall light grey undersurfaces and
darker grey upper surfaces.
 
Thank you Torno!

This skin represents 2/JG3 during the late Battle of Britain period. The scheme is the later RLM 74/75 Gray upper surfaces with RLM 65 lower surfaces. The nose and tail have been overpainted in RLM 04 yellow for ease of recognition. Lots of information is presented in the readme, please read it.
 
This skin, and all from this series I'm going to present, makes extensive use of Russouk2004's .psd file. All the detail work; panel lines, rivets, weathering, etc., is Russo's. I am indebted to him for allowing me to use these parts of his file without restriction. I painted the underlying camouflage and created the decals, which include numbers for 16 aircraft and kill markings up to thirty kills. Hopefully, someday, I will possess one third of Russo's skill at creating detail work, until then, I'm grateful he's allowed me to use his, so I can at least get a start in skinning.
 
I hope you enjoy this, and the others to come....

Bell P-400 "Airacobra", 39th FS Skin and Ini Pak, For SF/WoV/WoE PTO installs
 
This is a semi-complete mod, re-creating the P-400, export version of the Bell P-39 "Airacobra". The skin represents aircraft from the 39th FS, 35th FG as seen around Port Morseby, PNG during mid-1942
 
It is also to be considered a FULL replacement, minus certain files, for the P-400 mod that's been on my site for several years. This version gets a fully upgraded skin, with newly redrawn panel and rivet lines, and a replacement cockpit, based on the Dev A-Team's Hurricane.
 
When I say "semi-complete", this means the aircraft LOD file is NOT included, NOR are the cockpit files from the Hurricane 1. You WILL be transfering these from their respective aircraft. Needless to say, you MUST have Wolf's WW2 Planes Pak for the LOD, and the DATs Hurri. Full instructions, and a parts list, are below in the "Install Instructions".
 
I've supplied all the inis, misc bmps and tgas and various and sundry bits to make the process as easy as possible.
 
The skin, as said above, is for the 39th FS, and has completely new redrawn panel and rivet lines. Aircraft ID numbers are as accurate as possible, based on research. Serial numbers are NOT used, as these were painted out in-theatre. In reality, although not painted on the aircraft, these birds were assigned RAF serials, as they were originally intented for the UK.
 
A revamped, cleaned up version of my original P-39 Hangar Screen is included, as is the damage tga.
 
-= NOTE: you must have the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06 to get the WW2 weapons and guns and such =-
- This mod has been tested in SF, WoV and WoE. This mod is NOT reccomended for use in a WW2 PTO style install of WoI, as it handles prop flight models in "a most unusual, and odd way"
 
Good Hunting!

ps: this is another one of those that somehow slipped under the radar...I'd simple forgotten to upload it here after finishing it!

F-104A Starfighter, Royal Jordanian Air Force, for SF/WoV/WoE/WoI
 
This is a mod of Ajundair's F-104A to those as used by the RJAF.
 
This is a complete aircraft, all inclusive with all the little various and sundry bits needed to just unzip and fly away. It is designed for use with NO weapons pak, =or= The Mirage Factory Weapons Pak, as the drop tanks are "stock items" in the SF, WoV, WoE, and WoI objects.cat. The Bunyap Weapons Pak can also be used; it really makes no difference who's or which one!
HOWEVER -- I've included a nation-specific version of the AIM-9B "Sidwinder", set for only RJAF usage. Using the new 'station specific' mounting, you shouldn't run into any problems with it showing up on other aircraft uwanted. Just for fun, I've included that hack-job Recon Pod I did last year for the European Zippers. Full, detailed instructions on adding them to are included below. So, get your weapons editor warmed up!
 
The skin is the stock natural metal, as seen on the Pakistani F-104A (in fact, it IS the same skin bmps!) All I've really done is just create a 'nation-specific' version, using ALL stock decals for markings. I have also included the A-Z letter decals seen in some photos I found while researching this. New Arabic serial numbers (900-925) and also included. All in all, I can take NO credit for the skin, just for those few decals I've supplied.
 
Loadouts have been adjusted to reflect the 'newish' style of weapons mounting. The data ini is as orignally issued when the aircraft first was released. It may need some FM adjustments, but that's above my pay-grade :)
 
A new WoI hangar screen, based off the WoE-style is included. As is the WoE one, for those wishing to install into SF/WoE/WoV, etc.
 
While designed with WoI in mind, it is perfectaly usable in any of the other 3W sims
 
As usual, PLEASE read the enclosed readme file; installations is pretty simple (for once!), as is adding the weapons.
 
Happy Landings!
