The KV-1

F-4E Phantom II, Hellenic Air Force Mod
 
A Stand-Alone aircraft for SF/WoV/WoE/WoI
 
This package will create a complete, 'nation specific' aircraft; the F-4E Phantom II as used by the Hellenic Air Force. This is a stock, standard or garden variety Rhino, and NOT the AUP version currently flying with the HAF (see Notes below for my begging!)
 
This is a completion of a pack started by Sundowner, and he supplied me with the Hi-Rez Agean Blue skin, and a bunch of inis, along with the Agean Blue camo 370 gallon drop tanks -- you WILL be adding these, so get your Weapons Editor warmed up!!
 
The other skin, also by Sundowner, is the USAF SEA 3-tone; this is the paint scheme used as first delivered. It is set as the 2nd skin in the list, even though historically it should be first.
 
-- NOTE: these are HI-REZ skins; 2048x2048. For those with older, slower machines or those with smaller vid cards, you might want to resize the skin bmps down one step to 1024x1024. You =WILL= loose some detail, but it's a trade off you sometimes must make. --
 
All I've basically done, is some ini tweeks for loadouts and some extreamly small changes. I also remade the serial number decals, as I couldn't exactly match Ant's font, extending the numbers out to a total of 24. They ARE correct serials as issued to these Phantoms, but I cannot claim 100% historical accuracy as to which squadron had which number set. Also, out of sheer laziness, both skin sets use the same decals - why waste good decals? That's my motto!!! :)
 
A new Hangar screen is included, based of Ant's original; this one's for SF/WoV/WoE. There's also a WoI style one, called "woi_F4E_HAF_Hangar.bmp". So, you can choose, depending on your game, which to use.
 
It is set up to use either of the weapons paks; the Bunyap Pak or Mirage Factory, or even NONE at all!!! As it is a complete aircraft, it should also be usable in WoI, I've tested it in ALL iterations of the game, it works just fine. In fact, I like the newer 'jetengine' sound in WoI better than the SF/WoV/WoE version!!
 
I'd like to thank Sundowner for trusting me to complete and release this package. Ant gets 98.6% of the credit; the remainder is mine! After all, he DID all the hard work with the skin; and I gotta tell ya, the detailing on it is superb; as we've come to expect.
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for more, detailed instructions. Of course, there's the usual noise in the Notes section.

A Cockpit mod of the Thirdwire Scooter's cockpit, to create the Cuban-modified Mig-19P working-radar cockpit for use in Wrench's Mig-19P (or any other radar-equipped Mig-19).
 
Download Wrench's Mig-19P aircraft here:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5070
 
Referenced from multiple color photos, and cockpit layout diagrams.
 
Instruments and placards moved, eliminated, repainted and painted from scratch.
 
Individual instruments in Russian as they were historically.
 
The Mig-19 series flew combat and reportedly got kills in the Viet Nam war, the Arab-Israeli wars and the Indo-Pakistani wars.
 
This aircraft is the one that reportedly sparred with Gary Power's overflying U2.
 
The Mig-19P could easily outclimb the F-4 Phantom at about 35,435 ft/min vs the F-4s 28,500 ft/min.*
 
Top gun training showed that when flying the Mig-19/21, you can often go pure vertical at the merge and often defeat the F-4....or just outturn the F-4 in the deep stall buffet if the F-4 tries to turn slowly too.**
 
What is different compared to my Mig-19S cockpit:
 
1. A radar display was added with correct range lines according to one diagram.
 
2. The cockpit panel is a dark blue per color photos.
 
3. The Mig-19P deleted one ammo counter between the pilot's legs as it was reduced to two NR-23 cannon to make way for the radar.
 
4.The Mig-19P also deleted one red gun arming switch because the Mig-19P only had two internal cannons.
 
5. Tens of other changes including instrument locations, instrument additions and color changes.
 
For SFP1/WOV/WOE/WOI.
 
*Thanks to Wrench for the Mig-19P and its Mig-17PFU avionics.
 
*Thanks to Charles for permission to use some gauges from the Meteor (Fuel gage and graphics).
 
*Thanks to Lexx_Luthor for massive help on relocating instruments.
 
*Thanks to The Trooper for the photos and coding on making the ADI (artificial horizon work upside down...no mean feat!)
 
*Thanks to Thirdwire and TK for their sim and some instruments.
 
Complete credits and history in readme.
 
Instructions:
 
1-Backup your files!
 
2.Add contents to the Mig-19P aircraft file.
 
3-When prompted, overwrite the files.
 
More detailed instructions are included within.
 
Just ask at the combatace forum if you have problems.
 
 
Enjoy!

MiG-25PD Foxbat-E LARAF Mod
 
A Stand-Alone aircraft for SF/WoV/WoE/WoI
 
This package will create a complete 'nation specific' aircraft; the MiG-25PD as used by the Libyan Air Force. To make installation as simple as possible, EVERYTHING is included; the complete aircraft, cockpit folder (based off Paladrin's work, as included in the original Foxbat Pack), all the inis, skin, etc. New serial number decals have been created, using the best intell possible; some are speculative, but based from known sources. Included in the data ini are my lighting fixes, as seen on the CA Message Boards.
 
It is set up to use either of the weapons paks; the Bunyap Pak or Mirage Factory. If using the BunyPak, no additional work is required; unzip and fly away!
 
For those using the TMF Pak, I've included an alternate Loadout.ini, that using the same NATO style naming conventions for the Soviet/WarPac weapons (See Install Instruction below). The data ini is already set for "WP,SOVIET", so you should encounter NO problems in that respect.
 
As it is a complete aircraft, it also be usable in WoI, I've tested it in ALL iterations of the game, it works just fine. (See NOTES below for more)
For WoI users: If you haven't added the R-40 missiles, as per the WoI Loadouts Thread at CombatAce, you WILL be adding these, so get your Weapons Editor warmed up!! Remember -- use the WoI ONLY WepEditor!!!
 
Included are new Hangar and Loading screens; 2 Hangars actually, one is SF/WoV/WoE setup, and one for WoI.
 
PLEASE!!! read the enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions, and the usual Notes and Commentaries.
 
Happy Hunting!!

This is a set of hangar and loading screens for the Mirage Factory Mirage IIIE.
 
Just like the F-16XL Hangar and Loading Screen Pack, it is possible with a small manual edit, to swap easily between different loading and hangar screens.
 
To fully benefit from this pack you should also download:

A Mirage 2000 skin for the Mirage IIIE
the Skyfighter movie skin

Curtis-Wright Hawk 75A, Vichy French Armee De L'Air Package
for SF/WoV/WoE WW2 MTO Installs:
 
This is a complete package including ALL parts necessary to unzip and install a new, export version of Wolf's P-36 Mohawk, as used by the Vichy French Air Force, after the Fall of France.
 
A single skin with generic markings is included. Tail and Number decals are by Heck Mitchell, and borrowed from the AdA version. It 'represents' GCII/5, but should not be considered 100% historically accurate. The "Indian Head" squadon insignia decal is by me.
 
A new Vichy Hawk 75 hangar screen is included, as are damage tgas.
 
There is a new French 7.5mm machine gun, courtesy of Heck, and a 50kg bomb by me, so you'll be using BOTH the gun and weapons editor to add them. (note: both these weapons were included in the AdA Douglas DB-7 previously released).
 
It is NOT reccomended for use in a WW2 install based on WoI
 
---- Please note you MUST have the latest Weapons Pack (Bunyap Pak) for the WW2 weapons ----
 
Finally got around to finishing it...
PLEASE read the readme for detailed install instructions, and the General Notes and Noise
 
Happy Landings!
