EDIT: I thought this was the 323 SQ, it's the 312 SQ. Sorry guys!

Found a pic on the web of this and decided to try it. I'm pretty sure it's a fictional skin, but who knows.
 
F16B_10 skin of 323 SQ "Dirty Diana"
 
Thanks and credit to Team Viper for the F16B_10 model.

FINAL: Can't remember where I got button images but I do thank whomever you are...great work. Rest by me. Just place contents into WOV menu folder.
 
This zip includes:
All main menu screens:
 
As always backup originals ;)

Final: Changed sequence and cleaned up a bit (removed various tone sounds to lessen confusion with ingame tones). Now includes Stock Soundlist.ini with adjustments to it for this mod. Already in proper folders so unzip-drag and drop and it will overwrite.
 
2.0 UPDATE: Longer 23 minutes worth
 
This replaces stock windloop with 23 minutes of actual vietnam/modern era communications. Gives the game a really cool feel while in flight.
 
Changes needed in respective aircraft data.ini which need to be extracted via SFP1 extractor located in D/l utilities section.
 
EXAMPLE: A-4B Data.ini
[sound]
EngineSoundName=A4Engine
AfterburnerSoundName=
DamagedEngineSoundName=Planefire
FlapsSoundName=Flaps
AirbrakesSoundName=Airbrakes
GearsSoundName=Gear
WindSoundName=windloop <----- This line needs to be added in aircraft data.ini
 
NOTE: Engine noise may overshadow this sound...you will need to decrease volume level for all engine sounds including afterburner.
 
This can be done with sound recorder which is included in windows...it can be found under start/programs/accessories/entertainment. Open the engine sound and decrease volume level to your liking then save.
 
As always backup originals in case you don't like it.

Skinpack for the F-16A, B and C with the tiger meet paint scheme of KLu 313sqn. Many thanks to Bibbolicious for all the help!

Burning Sands 1983

USAF: F-15A, F-16A, F-19, F-111A, A-10

Mission start on carriers: You will now hear flight deck communications.
 
FINAL ver.1.0 : Complete with underlying noise and added additional voice.
 
I've included modded stock WOV soundlist ini. to include as follows:
 
SoundFile0XX=CVNAmbient
SoundFile0XX=CVNMovement
 
Original sounds were provided with Digital Overload CVN-75 which is available here:

You must change any/all carrier addons or stock as per below in the respective carrier data.ini
 
[sound]
EngineSoundName=CVNAmbient
MovementSoundName=CVNMovement
 
Stock data.ini can be extracted via SFP1 extract utility.
 
CVNAmbient.WAV Goes into sounds folder
 
Soundlist.ini Goes into flight folder
 
MUCH THANKS TO DIGITAL OVERLOAD!!!

This mod will add a landing light in the nosewheel well of the F-19.

*note, A Newer Version Has Been Released*

The 3 files included are the CARGOSHIP_DATA.INI, this is needed to get the smoke to come out of the stack in the new location; and cargoship.lod which is the model itself, and I am including the cargoship.out which is generated when exporting the object from 3ds Max (not really sure what this does).
 
Currently to use the carrier fly an antishipping mission. The Antishipping mission is usually a group of cargoships but randomly has Tankers at times...this Mod replaces the Cargoship and not the Tanker, so if you get a tanker you will need to exit and reload the mission. A quick way to tell is surface radar, if multiple contacts then likely you got the carrier(s), if a single ship likely a tanker. The Carrier is visible at 8 miles.

R07 HMS Albion of the Centaur Class - Beta Release
 
The model represents the ship as completed in 1954. Not perfect, but seems worth releasing. Working AA and radar to be developed.
 
Model/texture: Hinchinbrooke
Loads of help: Gramps
 
"This class was an improvement over the war-built light fleet carriers of the "Colossus" and "Majestic" classes with double the power for an additional 5 knots of speed, accompanied by increased dimensions which resulted in more hangar space and a lightly armoured flight deck.
 
Construction was arrested by the termination of hostilities and four units (including the original Hermes) were cancelled. Three of the remaining units - Albion, Bulwark, and Centaur - were completed to a modified design, which considerably increased their original displacement of 18,300 tons and resulted in a 2-knot loss of speed, and included a 5 3/4-degree angled deck; while the final unit - the second Hermes - had further extensive modifications worked in placing her in a sub-class of her own.
 
The Albion and Bulwark were later converted to commando carriers during 1959-62, leaving only the Centaur able to operate fixed wing aircraft, and she had steam catapults installed in 1957. Owing to her relatively small size and limited hangar space, the Centaur does not now meet modern requirements, but is nevertheless, still capable of active employment although laid-up in reserve."
 
H. T. Lenton, Warships of the British and Commonwealth Navies, Ian Allan, 1971
 
All files should sit in an "Albion" sub-directory within the "Objects" directory. The data.ini file should be moved to the main "Objects" directory. Extract the groundobjectsdata.ini file and add lines for Albion.

R08 HMS Bulwark of the Centaur Class - Beta Release
 
The model represents the ship as she appeared in the late 50's, before her conversion into a commando carrier. The Albion model has been used, with a later flightdeck texture. Not perfect, but seems worth releasing. Working AA and radar to be developed.

Edit: Added the patch.bmp to see on the loadout screen

Everything you need is in this 215MB file.
 
*******YOU MUST INSTALL EACH FOLDER INDIVIDUALLY. BE SURE TO CHECK THAT THE OBJECTS FOLDER INSTALLED PROPERLY WITH THE SUB FOLDERS and files. THE OBJECTS FOLDER INCLUDES THE AIRCRAFT FOLDER, WEAPONS FOLDER AND 5 OTHER FILES. SOME AIRCRAFT MIGHT NOT SHOW UP IF YOU SIMPLY SLIDE IN THE OBJECTS FOLDER, BE SURE TO CHECK THE ZIP FILE IF YOU HAVE ISSUES, THEY ARE ALL THERE, INSTALL EACH AIRCRAFT INDIVIDUALLY IF YOU ECOUNTER ISSUES. *******
 
 
*******Make sure to double check all aircraft installed (as an exmaple the MIG-21MF can fool you as it is already part of the regular WOV install, make sure the MIG-21MF inlcuded in the zip file installs properly ETC)*******
 
 
 
Vietnam 1984:
The Vietnam War ended in a stalemate a decade ago. North Vietnam has taken the opportunity, of the prolonged cease fire, to build up its ground and air forces.
The Soviet Union has recently taken an active role in mobilizing fighter regiments for the VPAF and the potential of the Soviet union adding actual ground troops to the area is now a reality.
The uneasy temporary peace comes to an end. The Reagan administration Withdraws the United States from the decade long diplomatic process. On December 18th 1984 the coalition starts a 2 week air offensive against North Vietnamese targets.
 
 
To install the mod simply place the folders that are inside the zip file in your WOV directory and say yes to overwrite the files.

Camo skin of an F-15I ( using the F-15E skin)
 
Instructions in the Read Me First file included in the zip.

Cockpits for MiG-21F, MiG-21PFM (for SFP1 and WOV) and MiG-21PF (for WOV only).
 
Only cockpit files are icnluded

Got this idea from EAW days...Playboy had a huge following during the Vietnam era...thought it would be fitting to have one of its covers in the cockpit. Place files into F-4B cockpit folder and thats it.
 
NOTE: F-4C uses the same cockpit no renaming is needed just copy from F-4B and paste into F-4C cockpit folder.
 
If you don't like this mod just delete from folder and game will use defaults.
