Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

A Hunter skin, exotic one from a "late" user.
 
Somalia used the Hunters in this livery in the mid and late eighties for in the CAS and strike role before
dumping them and replacing them with MiG-21s. The five in this package were (representing F.76s)
bought from Abu Dhabi in 1982 together with two T.77s and one FR.75A.
 
 
Thanks to Sundowner, Gramps, Diego, Marcelo and David for their original work on
plane and skins!
 
NOTE: ONLY for Armourdave's Hunter F.6 !!!!!!!!!!!!

The newest and most technologically advanced fighter aeroplane in the world today, is the "Glorious Tiger Lion Monty Python Camel Terminator Eagle Of Kazakhstan That Crushes Weak Armies Such Uzbekistan Like Moth", or the easy to pronounce "GTLMPCTEOKTCWASULM" for short, or "Tiger Moth" for even shorter.
 
This is a repaint of Wrench's Nigerian AF Tiger Moth, re-decaled to look like a Kazakhstan Air Force tiger moth.
 
Credit also to RussoUK, for the excellent little bird.
 
I have been told that repaints are fair game, just give credit. This I have done, and if anyone takes offense, I will remove it.

Darwin (WW2) Terrain Upgrade: For WW2 PTO mods SF/WoV/WoE -ONLY-
 
This mod is a relatively simple upgrade to Edward's WW2 Darwin terrain. What I've done is added LOTS of new targets to the existing target areas, and replaced at least one airfield, on each side, with a repainted "desert airfiled 1", which is now a medium dirt runway. The 'new' target areas are enhancements of already existing ones -- I've just added some more things here and there to make it look a little more populated. There are a couple of new parked planes, based of existing ones, hex-edited and reskinned for their proper users.
 
This is a fairly 'target rich' environment -- there are plenty of items for strike and anti-shipping missions. It is also fairly well defended - so watch out for the flak.
 
It has been tested in SF, WoV and WoE, using their cats pointed to in the main ini. As 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, or down below for full instructions)
 
New planning maps (all 3) have been created; only the #3 map has the cities listed on it, to keep #1 & 2 fairly 'clean'.
 
You MUST have ALL the Pacific Objects (ground units, ships, AAA, infantry, etc) already installed in you PTO version of the game; otherwise things won't be appearing. This is especially important for the ships -- make sure you have the barges (get both, they're needed in the GO folder), the Liberty ship, and all warships, both Allied and Japanese. Don't forget to check Geo's page for more WW2 goodies ... there's a lot of stuff that's usable (and used!) here as well. Hinchbrooke has some very nice Royal Navy battleships. <wink> However, you DO get a new PT Boat. The lods and skin bmps come from Edwards Solomons Terrain; I just built an half-assed data ini for it to add one more little ship.
 
It is also reccomended that you have installed CA_Stary's WW2 hangars and buildings. They have a nice worn green wood-ish texture, and look really good in the PTO theatre! I have, also, included the original data ini with it's terrain and water effects activeated (Vista user take note!! -more for you below).
 
I HAVE tested the map with both Brain32's tiles, and CA_Stary's "Green Hell'' mods; it is NOT set up for their use, and if you choose to install either of them, you do so at your own risk (not that anything bad would really happen...). See "Notes and Comments below for more". While they do greatly enhance the visual eye candy, there are several issues due to target placements.
 
As stated above, the data ini has been upgraded to the latest standards. Water effects are active, so Vista users beware...more information for you is below in the Install Instructions. See "Notes for Vista Users".
 
= 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 THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK FOR THE WW2 WEAPONS!! ==
 
Follow these instructions herein =EXACTLY= and you should have no problems. In essence, READ the readme!!!
 
Good Hunting!

Hello fellow aviators!
 
First customised skin for the ROCAF Mirage 2000-5!
With permission I used the skin included with the airplane
and I created a set of accurate serials. There are eight in total, ranging from EI04 (2004) to EI46 (2046).
To avoid a certain glitch in the tail I had to place the serial a bit more forward
than it uses to be but it is not disturbing. Also I have toned down the insignia
to a more appropriate low visibility format (as seen in photos).
 
Go fly!

Thanks to IAFMars, YEYEYE and Erwin_Hans for the Mirage,
thanks to IAFMARS for the basic skin!

IX sqdn Tornado GR1A skin & decals.
 
Only for the superb TornadoPackage by AD, Sundowner, Florian, Bunyap & Dave.
 
This should work ok in WOE\WOV\WOI\SFG or wherever you have the above aircraft installed.
 
The skin is a rework of an original hi-res by Sundowner with some weathering and tweaking from myself so all credit really goes to Sundowner.
 
You may if you wish include these fuselage serials into any RAF Tornado skin and they will be correct.

Hi!
 
Something quick; a skin of a MiG-29 Fulcrum-C
of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea).
As far as I know they use the two digit red stencilled numbers on a basic camo
skin of which the darker grey is being replaced by a more darkish green/grey colour.
This is the result. Nice targets for your ROKAF aircraft!

Hello aviator!
 
this is a Dutch paintjob for the mighty Hunter, as it
served in the 630 Squadron.
Aircraft N-216, 219, 222, 249, 252, 266, 274 and 289.
 
The N-1xx series was actually an F.4 series Hunter fitted with the dogtooth wing of the F.6.
The 2xx series were full F.6 models.
 
NOTE: ONLY for Armourdave's Hunter F.6 !!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Enjoy, have a safe flight!

This tiny mod adds heavy snowfall conditions when flying in inclement weather.
 
Fits best the snow covered terrains (MajorLee's DBS, ANW winter etc.)
 
Very hard to find your airfield flying in this weather!

NEW_SmallExplosion SOUND for WO* :yes:

This is a one-off skin.
Made it because a gate guarrd nearby inspired me,
an F-84F at Gilze-Rijen AB wearing P-191 reg.
 
The P-191, as made, was an F-84F-71-RE Thunderstreak
with serial 53-196916 which was taken in service in August 1957
and flew until October 1970. It first flew with 316 Sqn but
was handed to 311 Sqn late December 1957 because 316
was disbanded. With 311 it flew as PP-12 and later as P-191.
The skin in which P-191 is standing guard near the gate
often is incorrect. Over the years I saw different serials and
squadron markings. At one time it almost fell apart, but it
is now in a better condition.
 
So, here you have P-191. Nice livery, for which I thank
Column 5 because he made the basic camo skin.

Shenyang F-8IIM FinBack-B Export-96
 
*******************************************************************************************************************
 
These from Wiki:
 
The effort to develop an all-weather interceptor began in full in 1964 and this was to result in the first Chinese fighter jet to be designed and built indigenously. The prototype took its maiden flight in 1969. Despite the early beginnings, due to political turmoils such as the Cultural Revolution, it was not produced until 1979 and entered service in 1980. Its basic configuration resembles an enlargement of the delta-wing MiG-21 'Fishbed' with two Liyang (LMC) Wopen-7A turbojet engines and a maximum speed of Mach 2.2. The twin engined J-8 competed with the single engine J-9 project and ultimately emerged as the victor largely due to the existing availability of the former's MiG-21 based powerplant and proven layout.
 
In order to house a large radar set, the design called for a solid nose and variable geometry side air intakes. However, the lack of familiarity with this type of intake meant the J-8 had to settle for a MiG-21 style nose intake. The solid nose J-8 was finally realized in the J-8II (Finback-B).
 
J-8II (Finback-B)
First flew on June 12, 1984. Improved J-8I prototype with redesigned nose/front section and fuselage. Replaced nose air inlet with solid nose and lateral air intakes, similar to those of the MiG-23 China indeed received several MiG-23s in the late 1970s from Egypt and the hinged ventral fin and lateral intakes shown reversed engineering of these MiG-23 features into the J-8II, in fact China followed a very similar development process to the Su-15 when from the Sukhoi T-5, the large T-58 (Su-15) was spawned, the MiG-23PD also has some similarities with the J-8II however the MiG-23PD is a single engined experimental fighter with direct lift engines, but the transformation of the MiG-21 into the MiG-23PD was mirrored in the J-8II. Equipped with Type 208 (SL-4A) monopulse radar (40 km range).
 
J-8IIM (F-8IIM)
Unveiled in Zhuhai Air Show 1996, export version of J-8B with Russian Phazotron Zhuk-8II PD radar (70 km range), R-27R1 (AA-10) AAM and Kh-31A (AS-17) anti-ship missile. Failed to attract any export customers and no domestic orders. [4] Conversion from older airframe was reportedly much fewer than the 100 units of Zhuk-8II radar delivered, and the conversion might have only been an experimental program.

Hello fellow enthousiasts!
 
With a little help, I present to you another skin I
have ever successfully made/modded. The basic
skin is borrowed, but the serial (decal) is made
by me. So, first time I have made a skin with more than
one serial number!
 
The skin represents 9 planes (a license built MiG-15bis: S-103) I could trace
to have flown in this particular squadron.
 
Thanks to:
-Pasko and Column5 (MiG-15 and skin)
-Kukulino (tips and files)
-Peter "Priskac" Priskin (font author)
-Blackrat (czech roundel)
 
Just unzip the whole CSSR3 folder to the MiG-15bis and fly.

F4-S VF-302 1981.
 
Made for the F-4S by Crab_02.
To use it with the stock F-4J rename the .bmp files (F-4S_1 = F-4J_1 ...)
 
All files are modified stock WOV files except "F-4S_6" which is part of the F-4S skin by Sundowner used as a template.
 
To have the slimers on only when the lights are on remove the ";" from the [slimers] lines of the F-4S_DATA file.
