Operation Mountain Twilight v 1.1
 
by baltika
 
Revision Date: 23 November 2008
 
*****************************************************************
 
 
This is an update of my original OMT campaign to work with Wrench's 4 seasons re-release of Majorlee's American North West Terrain. This has exactly the same planeset and installation requirements as the original campaign, so please see the v1.0 readme for all the aircraft and groundobjects you will require to install.
 
Obviously, you should use Wrench's updated ANW terrain build, not any previous ANW release. Here's the link:
 
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=7615
 
Thanks to MajorLee for the original terrain, Wrench for his upgrades, and Deuces, Doghouse and Brain32 for the additional tilesets. If I have missed anyone out, please let me know and I will add them in.
 
*************************************************************
 
What's new:
 
1. I have added 25+ new target areas to Wrench's original Target List. There are a number of new target areas based on Wrench's existing ones, but all of Wrench's updated targets are in there, so you do not lose anything from the updated terrain. I have also included Doghouse's SAM sites mod, with his permission, so thanks for that, Doghouse. You will find that flying down those canyons becomes a necessity, not a joyride, once the SAM sites go online!
 
2. I have substantially re-worked the strategic nodes based on the new Target List.
 
3. Due to changes introduced by the Oct 08 patches, I have had to split the campaign files into separate campaigns for Red and Blue side flyable. If you want to fly the campaign for the Global Sedition, select "OMT: Red" from the campaign selection menu. I have reduced the GS ground unit strength in the Red-Side campaign to make it less of a cakewalk for GS pilots. Blue Side campaign is still a tough nut to crack ;-)
 
4. There are a number of alternative Win/Lose screens included in the d/l pack. These used to be called out for individual squadrons, but that seems not to work under Oct 08 patch. So, the default Win/Lose screen is called out from the main campaign_DATA.ini file. You can change the settings to select alternative Win/Lose screens if you wish, just edit the name of the screenshot called out.
 
5. I have also included ext's RCAF Vampire skin, as I can't track down the d/l link. Thanks to ext for the nice skin, cheers mate ;-)
 
*************************************************************
 
INSTALLATION:
 
I have packaged the files up so it should be obvious where everything has to go.
 
Install the terrain and planeset first.
 
Unzip the d/l package to a temporary folder, then copy the unzipped files across. When asked to over-write, say yes.
 
You must use the included AmericaNW_targets.ini, AmericaNW_Movement.ini and AmericaNW_types.ini, or the campaign will not work properly.
 
You will have to copy the content of the "Add to SquadronList" folder to your existing SQUADRONLIST.INI, renumbering as the next in sequence.
 
 
There should be no problem with dropping the new campaign files into an existing OMT campaign install, just over-write when prompted.
 
*************************************************************
 
HEALTH WARNING
 
As ever, back up any modded files before you overwrite them - it's easier to restore your originals that way ;-)
 
Most of the required planes are older mods, which may or may not work properly in the latest round of patches. Try flying in normal mode if you are having serious trouble with a particular plane. I haven't yet experienced any huge issues, but your mileage may vary.
 
Any problems, questions, comments, etc, drop me a line at combatace.
 
Happy Hunting to one and all,
 
Baltika

A-4Q Skyhawk - Skin update and ini Package for SF/WoW/WoE
 
This is a complete package, including a full update of nosecone's Argentine Navy Skyhawk skin, that will recreate the A-4Q Skyhawk as used by the CANA (and/or FAA) during the Falklands War.
 
What I've done is rebuild the decals ini, added a textureset ini, and completly rebuilded -from scratch- all the needed inis to recreate this aircraft. I've included nosecone's original readme at the bottom of this text file. Therefore, I can and WILL take no credit for the skins and decals. I'm just the ini dancer! Included is also my Argentine Skyhawk Hangar Screen, all set up for use in the main ini.
 
== You must have the latest Weapons Pak to use the Avionics Humps and Other Weapons. Please see the "Weapons & Loadout Fixes" thread at CombatAce for more, updated weapons for the Argentine Air Forces ==
 
Please see the enclosed readme for relatively easy install instructions, and some notes of interest.
 
All credit to nosecone, who did the original skin -- making sure everyone knows that!!

Thanks Pasko for making the model!
This is based on the skins from Gramps!!!
(sorry for missing Gramps on the first posting. I thought they were done by someone else. Note to myself check history better next time! )

First Eagles Medals Pack v1.0
===================
 
This is an add-on for Third Wire's WWI flight sim, First Eagles ("FE"). The stock FE has a number of limitations on the award of medals (there were only a few medals for each air service, and they could only be won once). This meant that after a short time in service, any pilot you had created in FE could not win any more medals, no matter how successful a mission you flew. I wanted to change that, to provide more medals, and so that a successful mission will bring a medal, even if you have previously won that medal. This package will work with either the stock FE, or FE with the Expansion Pack installed.
 
The medals which will now be available in FE are as follows:
 
British medals (Royal Air Force and Australian Flying Corps):
Victoria Cross
Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG)
Knight Commander of the British Empire (KBE)
Distinguished Service Order
Military Cross
Distinguished Flying Cross
Military Medal
Victory Medal
Silver War Badge
Croix de Guerre
 
French medals (French Aéronautique Militaire):
Legion of Honor (Légion d'Honneur)
Military Medal (Medaille Militaire)
War Cross (Croix de Guerre)
Combatant's Cross (Croix du Combattant)
Verdun Medal
Wounded Medal (Insigne du Blessé Militaire)
 
German medals (Imperial German Army Air Service):
Pour le Merite (Blue Max)
Order of the Red Eagle
Royal Order of Hohenzollern
Iron Cross 1st Class
Iron Cross 2nd Class
Military Merit Cross
War Merit Medal
Wound Badge
 
US medals (US Air Service):
Medal of Honor
Distinguished Service Medal
Distinguished Service Cross
Citation Star
Victory Medal
Purple Heart
Croix de Guerre

This is a Kestrel skin.. VMA-311 skin version.
 
 
Thanks and credit to Julhelm for the model, templates and bringing a great fictional aircraft to the community.

I thought that I'd share with you my WOV Planning Map. I've been using it for mission design. It shows the whole of Southern Vietnam, up to and including the Dong Hoi airbase just North of the DMZ.
 
Each grid is shown, as used in-game to determine an object's position, within the map's range from X=410000 to 850000, and Y=090000 to 580000). I've re-coloured parts of the map to make them easier to see the grid lines and airbases when you print it out - either colour or gray-scale. Test so far show that it comes out neatly on a single side of A4 or Letter-sized paper.
 
This map is a .jpg file so it's not huge in terms of file size (only ~160k). If people want the .bmp or even the .ppt I used to construct it then please get in touch, as these are much larger files. Thanks.
 
Regards, comrpnt.

This is the first in a series of Mission Packs based on written accounts taken from the mission log of VMFA-531 'Ghost' Squadron for April 1965. This Pack replicates the missions undertaken by VMFA-531 for 13th April - 17th April 1965 inclusive.
 
[Acknowledgements]
I would like to thank 531_Ghost for the inspiration behind this project and Mike Wanamaker & Lee R. De Haven for writing the extracts from the original mission logs.
 
Also, thanks go to all those contributors that have provided an environment whereby this mission pack could be produced with a degree of realism. Without your modifications to the original WOV platform the creation of this mission pack would not be possible. I am standing on the shoulders of giants - thank you.
 
Update V1.10
This mod has been updated on request to remove direct links to any Capun and A-team prerequisite models. Instead please contact Capun for access - details enclosed.
 
[Pre-requisites]
This mission pack has a large number of pre-requisites due to the realism that I have tried to incorporate into the game. Please bear with me. This first Pack will require more pre-requisites than the subsequent Packs but you will get out what you put in, so the time invested in installing the pre-requisites will be worth it. The README details all necessary pre-requisites and installation instructions.
 
[Contents]
This Pack includes the following:
1. 11 x Missions taken from the historical accounts of VMFA-531 for the dates 13th April 1965 to 17th April 1965.
2. Detailed mission briefing pages for each mission.
3. The VMFA-531 mission log for April 1965.
4. New VMFA-531 pilot skins.
5. Static F-4B aircraft.
6. New loadout definitions for the F-4B.
7. Target definitions for each mission.
 
If there are any problems with the missions then please contact me directly, not the authors of the pre-requisites. Thanks.
 
During the course of 2008 I intend to post more mission packs that carry on where the last one left off, working through all of the missions identified in the original Mission Log write-up. That's about 60 missions in total!
 
As usual, feedback and comments always greatly appreciated.
 
Hope you like it. Regards, comrpnt.

With the success in all the branches of the US military, and around the
world Canada has decided to purchase a squadron of Kestrels to evaluate.
They will be called the CF-199 Kestrel.
 
Thanks and credit to Julhelm for the excellent model model and templates.
(lots of fun to fly also)
 
This is a joint venture from Saganuay & ext
 
Place in your Kestrel folder and go fly!

This is the early version of the RCAF years.

To the CombatAce community,
This is a selection of files for the 220ft diameter flying saucer that I recently constructed, but do not have the time or experience to fully complete. Please feel free to use and/or improve upon this model and release it with your own skin, flight model, etc. for the rest of the community to download and use. This may not be used in any payware and, if you do post a mod using this, I ask for credit to be given for the original model.
 
Included are the .lod and shadow files I was using for my basic tests in Wings Over Vietnam, though to most people
they will probably not be that useful: the windows did not appear (texture not assigned?) and I did not do any UV mapping,
so there is no basis for a skin yet.
With that in mind, I am supplying the last 3D Studio MAX 9 file I made ("flyingsaucer-lodready") and an FBX file.
The reference for this UFO model was a diagram from an old 1/48th scale model kit made by Testors, the only real significant
change that I made was the presence of eight windows in four groups instead of six evenly spaced ones on the upper deck.
 
Thank you and have fun continuing where I left off,

The CH-118 Iroquois was purchased after the success of the US UH-1
Huey in Vietnam. The duties involved primarily Search and Rescue
and general utility duties. Only ten aircraft were purchased and
served roles until their retirement in 1995.
These markings were used from 1968 to 1973.
 
Thanks to Pasko for a great Helicopter model and for letting me release the skin!
 
Just drop into your UH-1B folder and fly.

F-89H Scropion For SF/WoV/WoE:
 
This package is a modification of MontyCZ's F-89D into the later H model (with wing-tip rocket pods and 'internal' Falcon missiles)
It is a semi-complete package, including everything needed, -excepting the aircraft LOD files. You will have to transfer them over from your F-89D's.
 
Included are all the needed inis necessary to create the new aircraft. The skins included are for the 437th FIS based at Oxnard CA, circa 1957-ish, a repeat of the 75th FIS skin from Pesque Island, and a generic USAF natural metal.
 
All the skin bmps have been repainted, using new templates created by me, based off Volkjager's original skins. I've duplicated his original work, so all credit goes to him for skin creation...I've basically just redone them to make use of the new panel, rivet lines and new decals created by me for the serial and buzz numbers.
 
Included also is a brand new WoE-style Hangar screen, only available with this mod. Damage tgas are here as well.
 
== You MUST have the latest weapons pak installed to make use of the needed missiles ==
 
--You should also have already installed the F-89D Update, which includes the new version of the Mk.4 Mighty Mouse FFAR -- the weapons data for this rocket is NOT included with this package!!! --
 
PLEASE read the readme for install instructions, important notes from General Explainations (a really nice guy), mostly concerning the Falcon missiles and other weapons.
 
Happy Hunting!

Strike Fighters/Wings Over Vietnam/Wings Over Europe etc Mi-8 and Mi-17 skins readme
 
All credit for these skins goes to their creators as detailed below. All I've done is to re-format them for SF\WOV\WOE and add a textureSet to each skin.
 
Not all of the countries for which we have skins are included in the standard NATIONS.ini list, so I've left those as Soviet. It doesn't make any difference to the skins' appearance as there are no decals to worry about. If you have the New Nations mod that includes these missing countries then feel free to modify the relevant TextureSet.
 
Installation:
All you need to do is to extract the skin to your Objects\Aircraft\Mi-8 or Mi-17 folder, then go fly and blow up some stuff.
 
The skins are interchangeable between The A Team's various models of the Mi-8 and Mi-17, including the static model Mi-8T. All you need to do is rename some of the .bmps within the skins folder to the model type you want the skin for.
 
e.g. if you have a skin for the unarmed Mi-8T that you want to use on an armed Mi-8TV, you will need to rename as follows:
 
Mi8T-r --------> Mi8TV-r
Mi8T-s --------> Mi8TV-s
Mi8T-t --------> Mi8TV-t
 
Thanks must go to the A Team for making the Mi-8 & Mi-17 for SF\WOV\WOE and especially to Capun for all of his help, Vladimir Zhyhulskiy for the FS2004 Mi-8 and original textures, and of course TK for giving us these great sims to play with.
 
This skin is based on Mike Pearson's textures and converted with his kind permission.
 
Enjoy, and good hunting
 
Allen
 
ps You can use these skins in any mods, campaigns etc, but please name check me and the original skinners in your credits as a courtesy. Thanks
