    1. WOE Refuelling mission (as requested)

      RAF F4 Tanker mission for WOE.
       
      This mission involves you taking off as a pair of 19Sqn F-4s from RAF Wildenrath and heading North-West to the tanker practice zone.
       
      The tanker takes off from nearby Laarbruch - North of Wildenrath.
       
      Both you and the tanker have the same tanker-track waypoints programmed into your navigation system so finding the same piece of sky where the tanker is should not be too much of a problem.
       
      As there's no radio contact (radio silence on this mission) for briefing purposes you need to know that the tanker is flying at 20,000 ft and a speed of 280kts. This information will prove useful when you line up and start closing on the drogue.
       
      Both you and your wingman have the necessary waypoints programmed in to do the tanker track 3 times and then head back to Wildenrath for a touch down. You can fly the whole mission on autopilot if you like. Obviously you'll not rendevous with the tanker if you do it all on AP.
       
      The MRTT will also return to Laarbruch after 3 circuits of the tanker track.
       
      The overall mission time is about 45 minutes.
       
      The weather is set to RANDOM and it's an afternoon sortie (16.00). For more of a challenge set the time to 01.30. The MRTT's lights should come on, including the drogue lights (if you'd included the mod I submitted a while back http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...;showfile=2992).
       
      [in case you missed it]
      SFP1, WOV and WOE only simulate tanking - you will not take on any fuel during this mission - but it feels realistic enough when your about to hit the drogue!
       
      Also, as you're flying as a pair, if you line up behind the starboard drogue (right side) then your wingman appears to line up on the port side. This looks quite realistic when viewed from outside. :-)
       
      Hope you like it. Regards, Paul T. (comrpnt).

    3. SWOTL Mainscreen

      Strike Fighters "SWOTL" Mainscreen
      =======================
       
      Here is a new Mainscreen for a "Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe"-style install of Strike Fighters. It is intended for a 1945-1948 (or thereabouts) separate install of SF.
       
      There are quite a few "what-if" style WWII aircraft available in SF now, most of which saw little if any real action in WWII, so I decided to do a separate install for them on my PC, to separate them from my "real" WWII Europe install. Think of it as a reprise of the classic sim "Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe". The Mainscreen is designed to give that flavour.

    4. Korean War Mod Update

      Here is the Korean Air War Mod Terrain and Campaign Update.
       
      My thanks go to TK for such a great sim, FNG2k for his groundbreaking work in this area, and especially Charles, Capun and Gramps (the A-Team) for all their help and support.
       
      This is a redone Korea Terrain and Campaign V2.0. I used all new tiles plus got rid of all those "sea mountains"and fixed the water and runways to give them a more 1950's look.
       
      Special thanks to Polak for his water mod, which I have adapted for this terrain. I stongly recommend you download and use Polak's sky mod with this terrain as well.
       
      Installation
       
      1. Delete your old Korea Folder in the Terrain Folder and replace it with this new one.
       
      2. Delete the old Korean War Folder in the Campaign Folder and replace it with this one.
       
      3. Fly.

    8. A-6A.zip

      Add a visual RWR in the original A-6A Intruder (WOV 09.24.04)
      Fix a bug in the Barometric Altimeter.
       
      -RWR : the rwr reemplace the clock in the original dash.
      -Altimeter: the digit of the altimeter dont work in my version, only the needle, so i fix it.
       
      I see the idea in a post, A6-RWR and do it.
       
      Instlation: simply reemplace the A-6A directori in the objectaircraft floder (make a backup copy before) and fly the intruder in a IronHand mission.

    11. MI-24 Sound

      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.

      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.

    15. NATO Fighters


       
       
       
      Details here:
       
      http://www.column5.us/natof.shtml
       
       
      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.
       
       
      New Aircraft:
       
      Canadair Saber Mk.6
      F-84F Thunderstreak
      F-86K Saber
      F-104G Starfigther

    23. 444 "Cobra" Sqn for the Canadair Sabre Mk. 6 Version 2

      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

    25. Canadian F-14 skin

      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.
