Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

In April 1963 4° Aerobrigata was the first squadron in Italy to receive the Starfighters. Between 1962 and 1965 they kept the original paint scheme with bare aluminium fuselage and white anti-radiation upper wings. Alternatively also the upper fuselage was partially painted in white.
 
This skin is for the original Third Wire F-104G model only.
Readme file included.

Hangar Screens for Marcelo's Gnat & Ajeet

These screens have been inspired from Wrench's Stylish Hangar Screens.
 
Many thanks to Marcelo for making superb models for the Gnat & Ajeet

I fixed the tanks, and added a missing sound file

Illuminated Tracer Smoke Emitter
 
by: Fubar512
 
Tested on every ThirdWire sim up to (and including), Wings over Israel with patch 1.
 
To install: Simply drop the TracerSmokeEmitter.ini file into your ThirdWire Sim's effects folder
 
To uninstall: Delete the TracerSmokeEmitter.ini, and the sim will revert to using its original tracer smoke emitter.
 
Notes:
 
To adjust the distance at which the tracer illuminates objects, adjust the following value
 
[EmitterType001]
LightRange=100.0<---ADJUST
 
It's in meters, I've found that a value of 100.0 meters seemed to be the best compromise in terms of realism and visibility.
 
Also, you'll notice that I've modified the smoke emitter itself. Tracers now leave undulating smoke rings, or "snakes" (as they're referred to by those who've been on the receiving end).

This aircraft depicts "Hoya Boy", a P-51D Mustang, S/N 44-15328, of the 77th FS, 20th, flown by Capt. Leo H Kerns. The colors of Georgetown University were used for the lettering of Hoya Boy - Federal Blue and Confederate Gray.
Special thanx to Wolf257 for creating this aircraft and to Crab02 and USAFMTL for their help with the making of this skin.
 
Note: This aircraft is a companion to "Dizzy Rebel".
 
Hope you enjoy,

Focke Wulf Fw-190F Package for SF, WoV & WoE WW2 ETO/MTO/SWOTL Installs:
 
This package includes skin and ini mods of the original 190 into the =definitave= 190F ground attack/close support version.
 
This is a semi-complete package conatining all necessary parts to create the new aircraft =EXCEPT= the FW190.LOD. It's Wolf's wish that the lod not be distributed in new packages, but it's a simple matter to just copy it over from another Wurger.
All other parts; cockpit, all the inis, updated gunsight tga are included. I call it semi-complete package for the above reason, but NEW data, loadout, cockpit and main inis are included, due to several modifications I've effected. There are even new hangar and loading screens, specifically designed for this ground-attack version.
 
There are 2 skins in this package (hence the ETO/MTO tag at the top!):
 
9/SG4 based in France & Germany in the post D-Day time frame (attached to KG51);
I-SG4 based on Sardinia for use in the MTO/Italian theatre.
 
It is suggested that you do NOT mix these skins in the same theatre of operations, but rather 'split' the install between your ETO and MTO game setups.
 
---- Please note you MUST have the latest Weapons Pack for the WW2 Axis weapons ----
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for detailed install instructions, and other important notes. I wrote it...you better read it!!
Most importantly, information about the modified loadouts (see picture above for some idea of what you can get!)
 
Happy Hunting!

******************************** Version 1.1 Updates *****************************
 
1. Readme Updated.
 
******************************** Version 1.0 Original Release ********************
 
Version 1.0
 
Thanks to the following folks:
 
TK - For the ThirdWire series of sims.
Bunyap and Wpnssgt - For the original Weapons Pack.
Mustang - For the great video tutorials.
To my fellow Combatace moderators - For helping me beta test and work out bugs.
Any errors or mistakes are entirely mine.
 
What you will need first:
 
Bunyap's Weapon's Pack - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=2672
 
Thirdwire Weapons Editor - http://www.thirdwire.com/downloads_tools.htm
 
Copy of SFP1/WOE/WOV patched to the latest standard (as of 11 Oct 07)
 
Optional: A hex editing program and/or a graphics editing program (Paint Shop Pro, GiMP, etc)
 
Notes and limitations:
 
I have included the reference materials I used to make the weapons. And for advanced modelers, I have also included the skin templates if you want to make your own or improve on mine.
 
Here is which racks go with which weapons:
 
Brimstone - Brimstone 3-pack
AGM-114A - M-272, M-279, M-299
AGM-114F - M-272, M-279, M-299
AGM-114L - M-272L, M-299L
 
The reason the L model needs a different rack is that ATRs cannot carry EOGR weapons, so I had to make TLR versions of those racks. Don't mix them up when building your loadout files.
 
Aircraft weapons stations must have ATR,LGR to be able to carry the AGM-114A and F models...and have TLR,EOGR to carry the AGM-114L and BrimStone missiles. The A/F models require a laser, while the L and Brimstone are radar (we use GPS as a substitute) guided.
 
Paint schemes are approximations. The HellFire has a LOT of different varients in schemes, so I went with the most reasonable. Early HellFires were very olive drab...however, recent pictures show almost a blue/black appearance. Brimstone test articles were very bright colored...the real thing seems almost an off white.
 
For multi-pack carry, if the TW engine finds a multi-rack that is listed eariler in the Weapondata.ini that can carry the missile, it will use that rack instead. You may have to fiddle with your loadout.ini files to get it to use the right rack.
 
The BrimStone racks appear to angle down...the pictures of it I saw on the Tornado showed different angles...and some other mountings showed parallel. So I compromised and gave it a slight downward slant so it won't look real odd on different aircraft.
 
This is FREEWARE only, NO money is allowed to be made on the contents of these files, in whole or in part.
 
Feel free to redistribute, as long as the original authors are given appropriate credit.

Messerschmitt Bf-109G6 skin & ini tweeks for SF, WoV & WoE WW2 Installs:
 
-Modification of one of Wolf257's Messerschmitts....
This is a semi-complete package, creating another version of the famed Messerschmitt Bf-109. It contains just about everything needed.
I say semi-complete, because the aircraft LOD file is NOT included, as per his wishes, but everthing else is. You will also be adding 2 stand-in under-wing gun gondolas for the MK108 30mm and MK151 20mm cannons. I say stand-in, as the pod used is NOT the correct shape. So, you WILL be using the Weapons Editor to add the new gun pods. They use existing weapons, so there's no problems there. These are just here until a 3d modeler steps up and gives us the correct shapes for the 2 different pods.
 
The skin included represents JG53 in late 44/early 45, and has been enhanced with new panel, rivet lines, and new stenciling for the warning and info tags. My damged tgs and NEW 109G6 hangar and loadoing screens -ONLY available in this mod- are also included.
 
PLEASE read the enclosed reamde file for full detailed install instructions, as well as other notes and commentaries.
 
Good Hunting!

Focke Wulf Fw-190A8 Package for SF, WoV & WoE WW2 ETO/SWOTL Installs:
 
This is a re-skin and ini mods of the original 190 into a FW-190A8/R8 'Sturmbok' bomber killer.
 
This is a semi-complete package conatining all necessary parts to create the new aircrafte =EXCEPT= the FW190.LOD. It's Wolf's wishes the lod not be distributed in new packages, but it's a simple matter to just copy it over from another Wurger.
All other parts; cockpit, all the inis, updated gunsight tga are included. I've also added my 2 newest hangar and loading screens (also available in the FW-190A5 update pak)
 
This skin represents Fw-190A8R8 from 11/JG3 in the late 44/45 time frame in Western Europe/Germany.
 
I have tried to make it as accurate as possible, even to getting the proper RLM colors added to my swatch list. As best I could, I even added the little warning placards around the fuselage, wings and tail. Along with the 'eagle head' shape over the fuselage, now outlined in red for JG3.
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions and other stuff.
 
Happy Landings!

The skin represents JG77 in the late war time frame. It was created by my enhanced template, with redrawn panel and rivets, and the stencling for the warning/service tags.
This package also includes a NEW 109K hangar screen, ONLY available in this mod.

This is a complete package including ALL parts necessary to unzip and install a new, export version of Wolf's P-36 Mohawk, for the French Air Force from the start of WW2, to the time of the 'Sitzkrieg', and then into the Battle of France.

AdA - generic skin, that was my original, with minimal markings. Just a "Plane Jane" so to speak ;)
 
There is a new French 7.5mm machine gun, courtesy of Heck, and a 50kg bomb by me, so you'll be using BOTH the gun and weapons editor to add them. (note: both these weapons were included in the Douglas DB-7 recently released)
 
I have to list the credits here for all to see..
 
Wolf257: for creating the aircraft and letting us mod it to death, also for providing the 3ds source file for modification!
Capun for making the my requested changes to the LOD -- I can't thank you enough, CP!!

This is a fictional campaign, set in the stock terrain of Strike Fighters Project 1. It is set in 1978, as Paran tries to invade Dhimar. Dhimar is assisted by the U.S. Navy, operating from the USS Nimitz, and by the USMC, operating AV-8C’s from several small, makeshift airfields.
 
This campaign requires Strike Fighters: Project1. It was not tested with Strike Fighters Gold, but it should work.
 
A big thank you to everyone who allowed me to include their work in this Campaign. Special thanks to Whiteknight, who made skins specifically for this addon, and to Kesselbrut, who allowed me to include some of his objects from the upcoming Falklands Campaign. Finally, thanks to Kreelin for the great AV-8C flight model.

Spanish country specific aircraft for SFP1/WoV/WoE, repaint from Stock files by Thirdwire.
 
Starfighters arrive to Spain in 1965 as a part of the USA international help. Starfighters was first modern Mach 2 fighter in Spain, as Sabres were first line air defense. Only arrived 18 aircraft to Spain, plus 3 twoseaters. Serials for all that 18 aircraft are included. Starfighter served for 7 years only, when was transferred to others Air Forces. Then were replaced by F-4C´s (also uploaded my Spanish F-4C). Spanish were the only Starfighters operated in the world that never had any accident during its career.

F104G 3° Stormo C. E. Buscaglia, 28° Gruppo
Operation Ace Guard 1991
 
On 21 December 1990 3° Stormo received the order to deploy six planes, in recce configuration, to the forward turkish base of Erhac as part of the NATO coalition, during the 1st Gulf War. Between 6 January and march 1991, in rigid weather (up to 25°C below zero) and uncomfortable conditions, the RF-104Gs flew over 300 sorties patrolling the turkish southern border.
The planes were painted in the standard NATO tactical scheme with low visibility markings.
 
The squadron insignia are four cats (of the former 278° Torpedo Bomber Squadron) and it's named after Carlo Emanuele Buscaglia, commander of a torpedo squadron during WWII. The squadron has been disbanded during the '90s and 28° Gruppo "Strega" (Witch, from the callsign used during the war) is now part of 32° Stormo.
 
This skin is for the original Third Wire F-104G model only. Installation instructions in the readme.txt included.

USAAF P-51C Mustang Upgrade & Skin Pak for SF/WoV/WoE, WW2 ETO Installs
 
This is a re-skin and ini upgrade package for Wolf's P-51C "Mustang" (Malcom Hood). The skin was created from his orginal template, but I've redrawn all the panel lines, added some rivets, made various and sundry enhancements to the skin; made several changes in the data, loadout and cockpit inis. A new N-3 gunsight tga has also been included.
 
The skin represents aircraft from 356th Fighter Squadron, 354th Fighter Group "The Pioneer Mustang" unit circa 1944/45 (pre-invasion striped, or post invasion striped -whichever you deceide!). I've heavly researched this unit, and as best I could, tried to match photos of the nose art. Where data was available, the actual serial numbers have been used. All others are C model serials, but I make no claims to if they actually served in 356th. Some of the nose arts are 'interperative'; meaning I did them in the best way I could to get them to fit on the aircraft. Some are in the 99% acuracy range, so I think you all should be pretty happy with them. You'll have squadron codes and individual letters for 26 aircraft
 
You'll also find a new "MustangC" hangar screen, I created just for this mod, and ONLY available with it!!!
 
==NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK INSTALLED FOR PROPER WEAPONS LOADOUT!!==
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions, plus comments and notes that you might find interesting.
