Strike Fighters by Thirdwire

CIVIL MOD "FIREFIGHTERS"
=======================
 
I.
The CIVIL Mod "Firefighters" is made for FIRST EAGLES.
 
==============================================
 
II.
I made this mod for my son, because i believe that it is not really good if a 7 years old boy is dropping bombs or firing missiles or shooting guns. So i decided to make a civil version of TK's sims. That my son is a fan of the Feuerwehr (fire brigade in english), gave me the idea to make a mod for the flying firefighters who use agricultural planes or old military planes like the Tracker, the B-26 etc to fight against wood fires all around the world.
 
This mod includes a modified version of my Vogesen terrain, the Z-37 Cmelak agricultural airplane and modified files to make modern planes usable in FIRST EAGLES.
 
You can fly firefight missions (mostly suppress woodfires), Search missions (SAR) and you can drop parachutists.
 
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
III. INSTALLATION
 
1.) You need a clean installation of First Eagles (FE)
2.) Open folder objects/aircraft and delete all subfolders (planes)
3.) Open folder objects/groundobject and delete all subfolders (Groundobjects)
 
4.) Unzip the Civil Mod into your civil First Eagles installation
 
5.) to make the O-1E Cessna and the C-130 usable you must include the files O-1E.lod, C-130A.lod, C-130A_LOD002 - 005 in the relating folders. This files are part of original SFP1,WOE,WOV game. You must extract them from SFP1,WOE or WOV objects.cat by using the SFP1E tool which you can find at CombatAce.com
 
Thats it
 
 
With the Civil Mod comes the file meine.ini which you find in Controls folder. This file allows you to use flaps, breaks etc in game. This are the option settings i use in my game. You can replace this file by your own controls file from an other SFP1,WOE,WOV,WOI game.

VIII. TO MAKE IT ENGLISH
 
I wrote this mod in german language. Into english retranslated files you find in subfolder Terrain/Vogesen Zivil/ENGLISH. Please copy the files Vogesen Zivil-targets and Movement into your Vogesen Zivil folder. MISSIONSUMMARY and MISSIONTYPE in your MENU folder.
I hope that my translated files are good enough. Feel free to modify them.

This is for all flight sims fans!!
----------------------------------
 
This is a collection of music from different classic sims.
For all of us who have played PC sims in the MS-DOS era in the late 80s
and early 90s.
 
I also include a collage of pictures from many sims that can be used as a
loading screen.
 
 
I hope you enjoy it.
 
Don´t become nostalgic!
 
Mono27

Corrected version for Mirage Factory F/A-18A
 
VMFA-314, based on Dave´s VMFA-122 skin.
 
I always missed this skin, given that my first sim was "Black Knights", my favourite film
when child was "Independence Day" and i always took to school a book about the squadron
in Desert Storm. So i did this.
 
If it´s allright, enjoy, if not, tell me

This edit of the XFV-12_DATA.ini makes this plane go Insanely fast...
 
BACK UP YOUR XFV-12_DATA.ini FILE for when you get tired of this one.
 
YOU CAN ONLY FLY THIS ON EASY, IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO FLY ON NORMAL OR HARD....
 
I take no credit for making this DATA.INI or Its Plane.
 
All credit goes to Aladai, Silverbolt, TMF, Canadair, and Spillone104
 
This freeware and it will stay that way.
 
Thats it.

AD-4NL Skyraider, Korean War, VC-35


 

UPDATED to Ver 2 for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE/WoI and SF2 & SF2:V, too


 
This version is designed to TOTALLY replace the one I released in 2005; a LOT has been updated.
 
This has a brand new skin, still representing VC-35 "Night Hecklers" during the Korean War, is based off new templates
from Royohboy's AdA Skyraiders, all new decals for modex and semi-historical BuNums. I saw 'semi', as these ARE in
fact, REAL BuNums as assigned by BuAer to AD-4NLs, but I was unable to ascertain exactly which were assigned to
VC-35's aircraft. So, consider them generic AD-4N BuNums.
 
This is a full, complete add on aircraft mod, with all the goodies necessary. Along with the new skin and decals, there's a
heavily modified/repainted/tweekified A-4E cockpit. (more below in "Notes" on an alternate).
 
Small data ini edits add a landing light, a few more running lights. Edits to the landing gear make this aircraft fully functional in the post-08 patch world. It should also function pretty well in SF2/SF2:V. This has been tested, and acts just the same in SF2 as is post-patch WoE. It's fully carrier rated, so mission and campaign builders can do their thing.
 
2 new -only available in this mod!!- carrier deck Hangar Screens are included. Both are the "WoE-style", but for the SF2
series, that one has the blackboard removed. Also, a new damage tga for the 'tail' section has been created.
 
Designed for use with any weapons pak, the 3 necessary addons, the APS-31 radar pod, AN/ALT-7 ECM pod, a small
50-ish gallon and 300 gallon tank are included. What is NOT included, are the HVARs, 250, 500 and 1000 lb WW2 era
bombs. You WILL need to have these available via one of the existing weapons paks!!!
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder somwhere, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions.
 
Good Hunting!!

This skin represent USMC F-35B Vikings!
Just unzip and copy/paste into F-35B aircraft directory and that is it!
Thanks goes to Klavs81 for this wounderful model.
Use this skin only for freeware!
Don't need permission to use in user made missions or campaigns.
 
Added the right tail.bmp!

Iran was reported to have signed a deal to purchase 24 J-10s from China in October 2007. The agreement is estimated at a cost of about $1 billion, with deliveries of the 24 jets expected between 2008 and 2010 to replace MiG-29 jets.
F-10A is the export version of J-10A.

Initially, 36 FC-20 will be delivered in 2014-15.
FC-20: An export variant of J-10 designed for the Pakistan Air Force.

North American AT-6G "Mosquito FAC"


 

for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE/WoI, Post 08 Patch Level and probably SF2/SF2:V


 
This is a mod of Bunyap's little T-6 Texan trainer into the AT-6G as used during the Korean War as the "Mosquito FAC"
 
This is a COMPLETE aircraft mod, with all the trimmings. There have been extensive edits to the data, loadout inis and a "new" cockpit. It is designed for use in the post 08 patch envrionments; in fact a couple of edits WON'T work without being in post 08 patch (movable rudder lights, fer example)
 
It has been totally reskined in a Natural Metal, more of a generic than any particular squadron, with all new Buzz Number and accurate Serial Numbers. I say 'accurate', as they ARE for AT-6G, but not from any particular squadron.
 
All the weapons supplied have been updated for this late game usage, and are supplied in the new 'folder style'. For SF2/SF2V users, a data ini for each weapon is included in each folder. (note: most of these propably already exist in the SF2 weapons pak. PLEASE check before installing, AND note the T-6_30cal_GunPod has been edited to make the guns shoot in the right direction)
 
A new blade-type upper antenna, with repositioned pitot tube, and set for use as a 'fake pilot' seat is also included (thanks to Ravenclaw!!). This is also usable for other nations that used the AT-6G in the COIN or FAC roles. New Hangar Screen, in the WoE style, allowing it's use in all the Classic Series ™ and SF2/2:V and a new Loading Screen are also provided.
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder somwhere, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions.
 
Enjoy!
