Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

Thirdwire Series (SF/WOV/WOE/WWI)
 
Loading Screen for F-106A Delta Dart
 
By Rebel Ryder

This sound file is a beefier version of the file that comes with mi-24 from combatace.
 
It is the same file but has been adjusted in WinXP Sound Recorder - used effects option to slow sound speed by 100%.
 
Thanks to Capun, Charles & Kesselbrut.
 
You can use the Sound Recorder to enhance any sound file to make it louder, meaner - try adding echo to afterburners.

This is an update to Air-to-Air Internal Gun and Air-to-ground Internal Gun/Bomb sight for "Tornado add-ons".
In the original version I could not hit air or ground targets due to the lack of good HUD target sight.
This update will fix that issue.

The release notes:
 
 
Installation
----------------
 
IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended that you apply this package to a clean installation of Wings Over Europe. Some existing files will be overwritten during the install process! Also, make certain that the 8/30 patch for WOE is installed BEFORE you install NATO Fighters.
 
Unzip the archive you downloaded above and run nfsetup.exe. You will be prompted for the location to install NATO Fighters. MAKE SURE that this is your clean WOE installation. If you install NATO Fighters over an already modded copy of WOE, it WILL break some or all of the mods.
 
The NATO Fighters installation is completely automatic. Once the installation is complete, you are ready to play.
 
 
Description
-----------------
 
Thanks for downloading Wings Over Europe: NATO Fighters! This is a collection of some of the best NATO-themed mods released over the past four years for the Strike Fighters series. I think you will find the expansion of flyable aircraft types, the addition of more allied nations, and the inclusion of numerous environment and visual mods to be a great enhancement to your copy of Wings Over Europe. All new aircraft and nations are fully integrated into the three campaigns, and no additional configuration is necessary to enjoy these enhancements after you install.
 
I must stress that all of the mods included in this pack are already available. This series of expansions simply brings them all together in one place, fully integrates them into the campaigns and makes installation a snap. The goal is not to include every NATO squadron, but a representative selection of units to allow players to fly for nations other than the US, Great Britain and West Germany.

444 "Cobra" Squadron Skin for the Canadair Sabre Mk. 6 Version 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a second version of the same skin. After uploading it the first time, I noticed some inaccuracies. Although this version isn't exact either, I think it is a much better representation of the aircraft.
 
History:
~~~~~~~~
 
Formed at St. Hubert on 1 March 1953, No. 444 Squadron bore the first new number (i.e. which had no war-time predecessor) in the post-war R.C.A.F. Six months later the squadron flew its Sabres overseas on "Leapfrog 4". The squadron joined No. 4 (Fighter) Wing at Baden-Soellingen, Germany in September. Selected as one of eight squadrons of the Air Division to be re-equipped with CF-104 Starfighter aircraft for a nuclear strike role,
 
Installation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You must first have the sabres_v21.zip in order to install these skins. You can download it at:
 
http://www.zur-tech.com/sabres4.htm
 
Unzip the 444.zip to your Objects/Aircraft/Canadair folder. Launch the game and choose "444 Cobra" in the Paint scheme section. Go fly!
 
Note: the Canadair Sabre 6 already comes with a 444 squadron paint scheme by default. You can choose which one you like best.
 
*These textures are 1024 x 1024. You may want to resize them to 512 x 512 to improve frame rates, especially on older computers.
 
**I have also included the fuel tank skin but at this time I do not know how to add it as a seperate tank. Maybe it will be included in a future weapons pack one day. If you want to use the one I have provided, backup your original Tank_f86.bmp in your / Objects / Weapons folder.( You will need the latest weapons pack) Otherwise you will have a silver tank.
 
 
 
Credits:
~~~~~~~~
I would like to thank Sagaunay for some reference material and beta testing as well as Zurawski & the rest of the sabre team for producing such a classic aircraft for all of us to enjoy.
 
Have fun!
 
Tim "Canada" Elliott

I'm sorry! This is good rar file . This is Hun Air Force yellow CAPETI and 5531 Mig-21 bis aircraft .

Fictional F-14 skin I did with the help of Saganuay. I did this skin months ago and forgot
I had it in there.
 
All credit to the maker(s) of the tomcat model.
 
As with all my skins, you must ask my to use it or modify it in anyway.
 
 
Simply add the skin as you would any other skin in your F-14A folder.

This is an update to the original posting.
 
Inspiration for this work came mostly from extending the excellent approach
lights mod from Sidewinder86 (See here) and also reading up on Eightlein's details on lighting various airfield structures (here). I've extended that work and applied it only to Da Nang.
 
Also see here for details on static/parked aircraft for Da Nang and installing the QRA sheds at the North end of the airfield.
 
[update Info]
I noticed that this mod makes heavy use of the ground object modifications I had included in my earlier 'statics' postings. For Da Nang that's fine, but, for all other fields in WOV that use Airfield_1 the lights would still appear, and that looked just plain weird. I've corrected this dependence with this update so you can have the lights only apply to one field.
 
The extra lights entries detailed in this mod all live in a new file called VietnamSEA_Airfield1_DaNang.ini. This file is referenced from the existing "Da Nang Air Base" entry in the VIETNAMSEA_TARGETS.INI file. Simply change this entry to read the following:
 
[TargetArea091]
Name=Da Nang Air Base
...
AirfieldDataFile=VietnamSEA_Airfield1_DaNang.ini
...
 
The new extra lights in this mod illuminate all of the tall buildings and structures in the airfield vicinity:
- ASR Radar dish
- QRA Sheds (internal flood lights and external anti-collision lights)
- Fuel tanks
- Ramp fuel store
- Ramp Hangars (external flood lights and anti-collision lights)
- Heli-pad for RAF Rescue SH-3
- Water tower
- Bomb dumps
- Control Tower
 
This mod has only been tested with WOV but with some modifications this mod can be applied to SFP1. If the layout of Airfield_1 is the same then simply changing the names accordingly will enable SFP1 to pick up the changes.
 
See the following forum entry for screenshots of the changes defined below: (http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2798)
 
I hope you like them.
 
Regards, P.T. :-)

This is a set of 2 x alternate generic Jungle (SEA) camo skins for the F16.
 
 
size: 1024x1024
Tested on:
 
F-16C Block 30 (folder:F-16C_B30)
F-16C Block 50 (folder:F-16C_B50)
F-16C Block 52 (folder:F-16C_B52)
F-16N Aggressor (folder: F-16N)
F-16A Aggressor (folder: F-16A_USN)
 
 
Extended tail:
F-16A MLU (folder: F-16MLU)
F-16A Block 15 (folder: F-16A_B15V)
 
 
 
May work on others now and in the future with similar templates - though does not work on the F16A Block 10 (F-16A_10) - (the tail goes screwy)
 
 
 
Please read the README file to ensure the decals are installed properly.
 
 
 
Many thanks to all involved in the F-16 project (Viper team) and for the templates.
 
Tested in SFG and WOV but should also work in WoE

Issues:
 
For some reason including Decal001/2/5/6 in the Decal.ini file puts a faint grey line on the nose and a faint dark line under the intake. I will need to try either moving them slightly or putting them onto the skin :(

The F-4 'tomb' is one of my favorite planes and having recently seen some photos of RAF F-4s at night I thought that the previous excellent work of Eightlein and others could do with a tweak here and there.
 
This mod is my attempt to add or amend the current F-4 lights to match what I saw.
 
Hope you like it. Regards, Paul T. (comrpnt) :-)
