French Silver Scheme for Mirage 5D (TW model)
 
version 0.9
 
by Gerwin 5-10-2008
 
DESCRIPTION:
WOI includes the Mirage 5D only as an adversary aircraft, Fortunately
this aircraft is almost identical to the Nesher and quite similar to the
Mirage III.
 
This package includes a French Airforce silver skin for the Mirage 5D,
and also 3 ini files that will make the aircraft Flyable (using the
Nesher cockpit). It will also change the default nationality of the
Mirage 5D to France, which is by default a 'Friendly' nation.
 
This Silver skin is heavily based on the stock Mirage III silver skin.
The Mirage number style 13-S* is correct, but each last letter is made
up and might not have actually been used. The red overspray near the
intakes is to be adjusted in a final release.
 
INSTALLATION:
Copy the included folder with contents to the folder that contains
the Mirage5D files, for example:
WOI\Objects\Aircraft\Mirage5D
When in the game select the skin in the loadout screen.

Skin Template for F-16A (Netz), TW model
 
version 1.0
 
by Gerwin 22..27-9-2008
 
DESCRIPTION:
This is a template for the original WOI F-16a Netz,
It has the following features:
- Selection mask for overspray areas
- Base color is now one plain tan color instead of the IDF camo,
this might be a more practical base for new skins. as the
old camo edges are hard to remove.
- You can enable layers that make it an USAF hill grey scheme.
- Decals related files included for the USAF scheme.
 
INSTALLATION:
Open with a paint program that can read PSD format (such as photoshop)

Generic Hill Scheme F-16A (Netz) Skin for TW model
 
version 1.0
 
by Gerwin 15..22-9-2008
 
DESCRIPTION:
The F-16A Netz in Wings over Israel looks and flies great,
but by default lacks an USAF Hill scheme in which most of
the worlds F-16's are seen.
This package contains such a Hill grey scheme and matching USAF
markings. This is basically a cleverly recolored version of the
original IDF camo skin.
 
INSTALLATION:
Copy the included folder with contents to the folder that contains
the F-16A Netz files, for example:
WOI\Objects\Aircraft\F-16A_Netz
When in the game select the skin in the loadout screen.

Gull Grey A-6 Intruder Skin for Third-Wire model V1.1
 
Update by Gerwin 6-4-2008..2-5-2008
 
DESCRIPTION:
I noticed the Navy Aircraft skins in WOV have been skinned
quite consistend in color and style
...except for the A-6A that is.
This skin seems to be a more blue-ish grey and the weathering
is rather thick and black.
 
I tried to overhaul the original existing skin to better fit
between the other aircraft:
The Base colors are now exactly the same as the F-8 and A-7.
The weathering was toned down and various details have been
adjusted. Also I replaced the style of the nose cone and the
fuselage air-brakes. On itself the white and yellow nose cones
and the white/grey airbrakes represent real-life appearance,
yet I do not know in which squadrons and in what
combination they actually appeared.
This skin does not include custom decals.
 
UPDATE:
In version 1.1 I weathered the skin in a way that is
consistent with the other navy aircraft. The insides of the
jet intakes have been recolored. The grey/white transitions have
been slightly relocated. The white bottom is lighter now.
The red color under the flaps does not shine trough so much now.
 
INSTALLATION:
Copy the included folder with contents to the folder that contains
the A-6 files, for example:
WOV\Objects\Aircraft\A-6A
When in the game select the skin in the loadout screen.
 
If you prefer the white nose cone you have to rename:
A-6_Texture5.bmp to A-6_Texture5_yellownose.bmp
A-6_Texture5_whitenose.bmp to A-6_Texture5.bmp

Generic Hill Scheme F-4E+F-4G Phantom II Skin for TW+MF model
 
Update by Gerwin 6-4-2008
 
DESCRIPTION:
Wanting a good hill scheme Phantom II, I ended up using the Mirage
Factory F-4G 'Late' Skin. Over time I made the following modifications:
 
-Scaled the skin down to the default resolution 512x512.
-Replaced certain skin parts with the default texture, such as the exhaust.
-Overlayed a subtile weathering layer. raised blue saturation.
-Fixed the numbering decals for the tail.
-Erased the insignia from the skins and replaced them with decals.
-Overlayed the default panel lines on the fuselage, tail and nose.
-Adjusted various details.
-Made an F-4E suitable variant (different slimers, nose gun etc).
 
Regarding the F-4E tail codes: they are somewhat a copy of the F-4G codes.
I am a bit uncertain on the historical accuracy of this.
 
INSTALLATION:
For the F-4G skin you need to have the Mirage Factory F-4G model installed.
you can find it at http://www.column5.us
 
Copy the included folder with contents to the folder that contains
the F-4 files, for example:
WOE\Objects\Aircraft\F-4E
When in the game select the skin in the loadout screen.

A-4 Skyhawk updated Skin Pack for Third-Wire model
 
1) IAF (Israel) 'Ahit' skin, for A4-F (original work by Markfighters and Sundowner)
2) USMC Camo skin, for A4-E (original work by mitch)
3) USN Low Vis skin, for A4-E (original work by column5)
 
Update by Gerwin 25-3-2008
 
DESCRIPTION:
Third Wire did an excellent job on the A-4F skin,
both in regard to detail as to weathering.
There are also some interesting user skins for the
Skyhawk series offered on the internet, including
the three described above. Yet I noticed the skins
lacking on certain areas:
-gun fume stains
-weathering effects
-properly aligned camo pattern and other alignments
-panel details
-overall texture brightness/saturation
-usage of decals
-colors of certain areas
So here are the updated skins, most work was
done on the Ahit (which now uses WOI colors),
and the Camo scheme (many obvious errors, I have no
photo references of this scheme). The low vis scheme
was only slightly adjusted/weathered.
 
NOTE: These skins will not adjust aircraft data,
only the nation and the appearance.
 
INSTALLATION:
Copy the included folder with contents to the folder that contains
the A-4 files, for example:
WOE\Objects\Aircraft\A-4E
When in the game select the skin in the loadout screen.

Texture replacement for the Spruance Class Destroyer Model
 
By Gerwin 8-3-2008
 
DESCRIPTION:
In the strike fighter games the Aircraft Carrier
often goes without escort. Fortunately there is a free
Spruance class destroyer model available that can be used
in the game. The 3d model looks and interacts very nice,
yet the texture is IMHO not the same quality as the stock
carrier for example.
 
I have spend quite a few hours painting over various
parts of the texture, based on photographs of the actual ships.
The resulting texture is included in this package.
The number on the hull (963) refers to the first ship of
the class: the USS Spruance.
 
INSTALLATION:
Copy the included file (Spruance_t.bmp) to a folder that contains
the spruance object files, for example:
WOE\Objects\GroundObject\Spruance\
(You may want to backup/rename the original texture first.)
