Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

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.
 
Read Me file included in the zip so please READ IT!

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!

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.
