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.

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) :-)

Strike Fighters Medals Pack v2.0
 
The standard Strike Fighters (“SF”) has medals available only for the three US services (USAF, USN and USMC). This add-on package adds medals for a host of other countries and air forces, so you can get medals flying non-US aircraft. The package does not interfere with any other SF mod.
 
The Medals Pack provides medals for Argentina, Brazil, Britain, Belgium, China, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, East Germany, Egypt, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, India, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, North Korea, North Vietnam, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, South Korea, South Vietnam, Soviet Union, Spain, Sweden, Syria, Taiwan, Turkey, West Germany and WWII Germany, plus extra medals for the USAF, USN, and USMC.
 
Simply unzip this package to your Strike Fighters folder. All of the files in the Flight folder go in your Strike Fighters\Flight folder, and all of the files in the Menu folder go in your Strike Fighters\Menu folder. There is a full TXT document which explains it all, and lists all of the available medals.

Future Objectives:
 
Solve the problem I'm having with the Badger-G, Blinder-B, and MFG1 and MFG2 not seeing ships and attacking them.

A PDF file with a simple list of what kinds of homing mechanisms Soviet Air-To-Air Missiles have, next to the names they have in the latest Weapons Pack.
 
Color Coded for easy ID; and great for figuring out what kind of approach to use with a R-60TM APHID C missile.
