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.

PS: uploaded renewed file with better roundels and better serials

617 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 hi-res by Sundowner with some weathering and tweaking from myself so all credit really goes to Sundowner.
 
The decals include serial numbers and tailcodes for 617 sqdn aircraft. However, you may if you wish include these fuselage serials into any RAF Tornado skin and they will be correct. The tailcodes are valid only for 617 sqn.

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.

VF-703 'Superheats' skin for the Mirage Factory F-8B

F15A Cheats Weapon Load MOD 0.93beta for WoI
 
----Released date;
0.93 beta version----17/08/2008 ; AfterbunerEffectSize and CenterlineStation-1 adjusted.
-Please simply overwrite only "F-15A_BAZ_DATA.INI" to the installed two aircraft folders, if u using this.
* CenterlineStation-1's attachment position has been adjusted for bombs.
* AfterbunerEffectSize=1.5 to 1.2 decreased in this .INI.
0.92 beta version----16/08/2008 ; "Install & Uninstall" in readme.txt adjusted.
0.91 beta version----15/08/2008 ; First released.
 
This is pre-beta code, meaning it might be in no way feature complete
and some bugs, please use this mod "at your own risk".
Enjoy :yes:
 
----Specifications;
* This MOD would change only for;
weapon choice, weapon's mass, F15A's looks of afterburner effect,
each weapon's station set, F15A and weapon's start year and nation name,
availability and quantity, explosives size of a few dumb bombs,
max amount of Fuel, Gun and Chaff & Flares.
F15A's avionics has been changed for using AGM-65s and adding TVC.
 
Other settings have not been changed for the original default settings.
i.e., flight model, thrust power, other avionics, RWR, cockpit, skin,
max armor, ECM, and so on.
 
Now, u might get a lot of medals and high score "in all 3-campaigns" with F15A,
if u could use this weapon's cheats in single mode.
 
Although, please do NOT use this in multi-play mode.
Maybe this mod not work in multi-mode, and I'd not like to and won't test this in multi, also.
 
----Attention;
* WoI (CoI) already tested with 04/2008 patched version.
This mod is not compatible in the WoE and other sims.
 
* To use this cheated F-15A for all 3-campaigns,
this Mod would alternate both aircrafts "Shahak","KfirC2" to "F-15A(cheated)".
So, u couldn't use these two aircraft when u use this mod, sorry.
 
* To use this mod, u have to download another real-style F-15E mod.
 
"F-15E Strike Eagle Version 1.3"
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6258
So, u could download this mod file as "F_15EV13.rar".
 
* This mod won't work, if u are using other "Weapon-Pack" mod.
Because, this mod are using own-modified "weapondata.DAT". So,
please backup "weapondata.DAT","weapondata.INI" before u install this, if already exist.
 
 
----About This Mod;
* F15A's weapon load has been modified.
Now, you could choose; "24x 750-lb Bomb","6x 6x AGM-65B",
"7x AIM-7F","7x Phyton3","1x Tank610_F15" from the beginning
all 3 campaigns in the WoI.
 
* F15A's fuel and gun amount, decoys has been increased.
 
* F15A's afterburner effect has been edited.
And F15A's avionics.INI has been edited to get using AGM-65A/B.
 
This effect and avionics setting are referenced from F_15EV1.3 mod by
Dave, Deuces, Moonjumper and others.
"F-15E Strike Eagle Version 1.3".
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6258
 
Some of avionics mod files (HUD.tga.bmp files) have been used to this my mod.
(Because, there are a lot of files to their HUD files. So, I picked up
necessary files from them for this mod Install to prevent the hard file works.)
 
I'd like to thank very much for them. :yes:
 
...Other (How to Install, UnInstall, Known problems...), please read a readme file.
Have fun!!

Hunter F73
Royal Jordanian Air Force
*******For WoI*******
 
I was never very happy about the colour of the stock Hunter skin. It looks fine for a gate guardian that has sat outside in all-weathers for 20 years, but not for a Hunter on active service during the 1960s. This skin is more like the Armourdave skin with a few added decals to make it more representative of a RJAF Hunter in 1967.
