Early MiG Series Cockpit Upgrade/Repair Pakage



for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE/WoI & SF2/SF2:V/SF2:E


 
This is a rebulid of Ordway's Early MiG pits for use in ALL the 3rd Wire Series. It's designed for the following aircraft (and/or variants thereof):
 
MiG-15bis (by Pasko)
 
Stock 3rdWire:
 
MiG-17 Fresco-A
MiG-17F Fresco-C
MiG-19S Farmer-C
 
It is also, therefore, completly useable for any of the myriad 3rd-Party mods of variants of these aircraft (excepting those Frescos and Farmers that are radar equipped -doh!)
 
Specifialy, it's designed to REPLACE the original versions, as some (including myself) have experienced odd CTDs with an 'aircraftobject.dll' fault in the SF2 series.. By rebuilding these with a STOCK A-4B cockpit lod (albeit from WoE), and reusing Mr. Ordway's VERY COOL gauge bmp repaints, and re-editing the A-4B_cockpit ini, this has been eliminated. This mod has been EXTENSIVELY tested in SF2, as this was the basis and reason for the 'fix', and will work in the Classic Series ™ just as well as the originals. All necessary parts are included.
I even snuck in some Generic WoE-style Hangar screens for the 17 & 19. These will also work in ANY version of the sim.
 
As always, it's reccomended that you unzip this package to temp folder, or your desktop, to gain access to the rest of the readme for it's specific instructions. Which are gonna run a bit on the long side....so you probably (read: SHOULD) read the document all the way through first before installing. Just to be safe, doncha know :yes:
 
With expecial thanks to Mr. R. Ordway for creating these in the first place!!
 
Good Hunting!

Modern Darwin Terrain Ver 2.0



for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE & SF2/SF2:V/SF2:E


 

UPDATED to Version 2.0 6/11/09


 
This is a rebuild of MY rebuild of Edward's WW2 Pacific Theatre map of Northern Australia, Timor, and parts of Indonesia. This moves it up into modern-ish times; the operational time frame I've designed it for is apporximately 1950-2050. Modern place names have been used were needed (and discoverable!). It has been extensively updated for Post-08 Patch Level installs for the Classic Series ™ {herein after to be known as "TOS"}, and is usable in the New Series {herein after to be known as "NextGen"}.
 
The Update is designed to COMPLETLY replace the earlier version I'd released some years ago, and is a COMPLETE terrain with just about everything needed for installation.
 
It has been extensively re-tiled, with the addition of MANY parts from the WoV "GreenHell" ™ mod by Brain32 & CA_Stary, while still using ONLY the original stock tiles (in other words, TODs for the jungle/paddy/grass. City TODs are still the stock ones, due to target placements within the cities) . The target areas have been 'cleaned up' and enhanced, including some that are of a 'fictional nature' to enchance gameplay. The movement ini has had some additions for CAS missions on Timor., The data ini has also been brought up to present (post-08) standards, with all effects activated. For mission and campaign builder, 2 Friendly Carrier stations have been added.
 
I've included several new ground objects, mostly to replace some that have gone missing from General Usage ™. Included are 1 new destroyer, 2 1/2 aircraft carriers, and some other things. (I say 2 1/2 carriers, as one, HMAS Australia, is just ini edits to create a "What If..." for the RAN). There's also quite a few surprises ... so keep a sharp eye out, especially when flying near coastlines/ports at night ...
 
*NextGen users take note -- you =MAY= be making data ini adjustementst for use in SF2/SF2:V/SF2:E. I've experienced NO anomalies during testing. Your mileage may vary*
 
**SF/SFG/SF2 Only users take note: you will be missing 2 of the naval vessels; the SumnerFRAM2 destroyer and the SCB-125 Essex class aircraft carrier. You will have to import the various and sundry bits from WoV or Post-08 Patch WoE. Or find "other alternatives". Or switch to WoE/WoV as your main gaming install.
 
It is also suggested (read: REQUIRED!!) you have the latest weapons pak installed for the various guns, SAMs, and whathaveyous. This is mostly for the ships, and air defense units --this is MOST critical for NextGen SF2 series users!!!! Any additional Ground Objects you can get your hands on, is also HIGHLY reccomended!! (Pasko's SAMs and Vehicles Pak, Kesselbruts Zil Trucks, you get the idea...)
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. It is also HIGHLY reccomended you read this document ALL the way through to get an understanding of what's to be accomplished, and how to do it.
 
Happy Landings!!

ps: yes, I've reused the same screenie. Just too lazy to take/make a new one

This skin is for Q-5D(or Q-5II) made by tomcat and posted by 101tfs representing the Nanchang/Hongdu A-5 ''Fantan'' from North Korean Air Force.

This skin is for Q-5B made by lindr2 representing the Nanchang/Hongdu A-5C ''Fantan'' from Pakistan Air Force.

Made for the same aborted campaign, this is a MiG-29A in SEA camo.
 
For the Mirage Factory MiG-29A - Russian, but can be applied to any MiG if you change the filenames.

This is a fictional rendition of what a MiG-29 could possibly look like in Laos service, around 1985. It was intended for a campaign, but since the author couldn't finish it, he allowed me to release them, and I didn't want my work to go to waste either.
 
For the Mirage Factory, MiG-29A - Russian, but can be used on any other version as long as you change the filenames.

RNZAF SKYHAWKS;
 
There is no real A-4K models made so these three use the closest Thirdwire models. These models are for WOX versions of Thirdwire games.
 
If you have any Thirdwire WOX games and you extract all the required .lod files they will work in SF2 series games. However the SF2 models have been very much updated from WOX versions and look much,much better and have greater detail. Plus I am curtainly working on those SF2 models to bring A-4k's into SF2 series.
 
These three models all use Truck-Lo's cockpit which is available in the Combat-Ace download section and included, plus can also be modded to use the A-4AR's cockpit as well. I do not know how different the A-4AR's cockpit is from the A-4K's cockpit, but believe to look at they are very similar.
 
INSTALL;
 
You just need to copy or drag and drop the aircraft into your Aircraft folders and tanks to be installed in the usual way. Note I do not know who made the green A-4K tank, because it has alway been there in my weapons folder. I think it may have come from Bunyaps Weapons orginally. It is also included in 331Killerbees pack.
 
I have tinkered with the weapons loadout files a little and they may not be totally correct, feel free to amend if you want. They are set for fun rather that relistic.
 
First model is A-4K Euro 1 which based on the stock Thirdwire A-4F, RNZAF A-4K's where late model A-4F without the tail top pod. Where originally painted in SEA camo, see A-4K SEA in Combat-Ace downloads which I painted for Truck-Lo. The Euro Camo came later, I cannot remember the date, then another upgrade happened and the hump became reduntant and was removed, I used Thirdwire A-4E, closest match. Then New Zealand brought A-4G from Austrailia sometime after the Austrailan Navy retired its last carrier. On entering service in NZ the A-4G's only had their markings and numbers changed, they remained in the tone grey camo. I've released as SF2 model only, not included here. Later the A-4K's and A-4G's where all upgraded to A-4K Kura, Hawk in English, and where all painted green.
The A-4K Green 1 skin is fictional.I was playing around one wet weekend.
 
Feel free to mode as you like but must remain Freeware. I have no problems with that and you do not need my permission to change, improve on and release. This is what makes ThirdWire and its Forums so great and helps it to keep going, for over seven years I think I read somewhere.
 
 
Thanks to TK, Thirdwire
 
To Truck-Lo
 
To Bunyap and 331Killerbee
 
And to Marcfighters, I used your A-4F Israeli model a lot as reference when I first started painting the SEA Camo. Helped me alot in find those strange parts on the templates.
 
Ps, there are even more on TK's new models. I think I have found all the hinges now and where they are mapped.
