#INSTALLATION
The setup for this mod is designed to use the Thirdwire first generation folder structure patched
to 10-08 standard, the latest one as per july 2009!
1) Unzip the "Hunter FGA9" folder to a temporary place where it is easy to find.
2) Add the data from "Hunter Pylon_Weapondata.txt" to your weapondata.ini and save it with the weapons editor.
This step is mandatory in order to get a visible pylon for the Sidewinder.
3) Copy the "Hunter_FGA9" folder to your "Aircraft" directory.
4) In the case that you do not use the community weapons pack 2.52 (available at CombatAce.com, link below),
you may have to add the data from "Weapons\Ordnance_Weapondata.txt" to your weapondata.ini and copy
the needed folders in "Weapons" in your weapon directory.
#ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is mainly a INI rework to turn a SFP1 Hunter F6 (also available at CA, link below) in a
Hunter FGA9 ground attack aircraft. It uses some data (namely the Hunter Pylon and a cockpit) of
another Hunter Mod by ndicki (it could also be downloaded at CA, link below).
I did not research a large amount of historical fidelity - it looks like sidewinder pylons were only
mounted on exported and so customised Hunters - like planes of the Rhodesian Airforce.
I've tested the plane on a Strike Fighters Project 1 install patched to Oct.-08 level with the
community weapons pack 2.52 installed.

#DOCUMENTATION
1) The FM and the rest of the aircraft_data.ini comes mainly from the Hunter F6 model. Changes include
the removing of the rocket rails and the adding of the Sidewinder stations.
2) The loadout.ini is my creation.
3) The LOD's, hangar, loading and loadout screens are simply renamed versions of the F6 versions.

#CREDITS
The Hunter F6 was done by:
- Modelling likely by ArmorDave. Skins by Sundowner, Gramps. Other contributors according to the
readme were Diego, Marcelo without naming their contribution. The upload at CA was done by USAFMTL.
The Rhodesian Hunter was a coproduction too (quote from the ReadMe of it):
- "Spinners modified the Thirdwire stock Hunter FGA.9 to make it flyable, and fitted the cockpit.
The weapons pylon and rail was made specially by Alex "AleDucat" Ducat.
Modifications to ini files, stock weapons, screens and skin by Nigel "ndicki" Dickinson.
Ideas and support from Josh 'Jeremiah Weed' "
I apologize for any forgotten people in the credits, please notify me in case of any lack of correctness.
That is my first try at a modification and so my first little publication - any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I want to say "Thank you" at Wrench, moderator at CombatAce, for some useful hints. Thanks also for the rest
of the Thirdwire community!

This is a mod of the F-16B Block 10 released by Team Viper, nearly four years ago! It is ment for WOI. I have made INI edits so it now uses the stock F-16A Netz pit and avionics, gave is chaff and flare, and have edited the loadouts.
There is no need for a weapons pack for this aircraft.
The original aircraft was uploaded by Madjeff but its done by Wpnssgt, Tiwaz and USAFMTL. I ask that all thanks go to them.
Have fun. And Read the Read Me.
Update: 1/24/09: Added correct number of chaff and flares. Also now have compressed file to reduce bandwidth.
Hi
This is my first modification. Is not perfect.
Kfirs arrived to Ecuador (South-America) in 1982 and they became in an important fighter in the Ecuadorian Air Force (FAE). Many of them participated in the Cenepa War against to Peru. One of them eliminated a peruvian A-37B.
I'm working to improve the skin and avionics...

Grumman Martlet Mk. I/III Pak for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE - WW2 MTO Installs (06 Patch Level)
This is a mod of my mod of the F4F-3 variant, based on Pasko's F4F-4, as used by the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, the Martlet I & III. These these 2 marks were 'acquired' by the FAA from the French and Greek orders, they were never recieved by the countries they were destined for due to "an inconvient lack of a deliver point" (ie: overrun by the enemy). It is the standard, non-folding wing version, with 4 50 caliber machine guns. It IS fully carrier capable, and can be used in user-made missions or campaigns.
This is a brand new skin, using my home-grown templates (as also used on my USN versions), representing a semi-fictional skin for 805 Squadron, Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. I say semi-fictional, as this is designed to either compliment or replace the FAA 805 Buffalo that I did earlier in 2009; for those that can't get the F2A Buffalo, this will suffice. It carries the standard FAA camo scheme of Extra Dark Sea Gray/Slate Gray over Sky, as seen on other Martlets serving in the Middle East/Western Desert in 1940/41. New decals for serial numbers have been created; these ARE accurate serials assinged to Martlet I & IIIs, as taken over by the Royal Navy. Again; in this semi-fictional usege, they fit quite nicely.
This is a complete aircraft mod with all parts needed to unzip, install and fly away. REMEMBER: although designed for the MTO (ie: Battle for Crete, and Defense of Alexandria, etc), this skin IS perfectly usable for FAA Squadrons flying from English bases (ie: Orkneys, Scapa Flow, etc). BTW, the letters ARE for 805 when flying their Buffalos from HMS Eagle, during the Battle for Crete. They were all lost at Malme, Crete (well, there 3 or 4 that were really there...that is).
I have supplied an "alternative" cockpit ini, modified from Geo's F6F-3, for those that may want a more 'closer approximation' of the Wildcat's Real Life pit. The cockpit is NOT supplied from the Hellcat, so you'll need to obtain it yourselves from Geo's site and transfer over the cockpit folder, and from this version, the "US_N-3_Gunsight.tga". Instructions for that are below, in the "To Swap Pits" section. In truth, THIS would be the way to go. It's much closer, and better looking than the original, which isn't a US Navy pit at all!!
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed for use in SF/SFG/WoV/WoE, at the 06 patch level -ONLY-, It has =NOT= been tested it in post 08 patch SF/SFG/WoV/WoE/WoI. It has also NOT been tested in the NextGen, SF2 series. You use it in these enviroments at your own risk. =
=This mod is designed for use with the WW2 Weapons Pak by me, as it contains all the needed weapons . If attempting to use this aircraft with any other weapons pak, you'll need to add ALL the WW2 era bombs, torpedoes, etc. They are NOT included in this package.=
As always, it's reccomended you unzip this to a temp folder somewhere's thats easy to find. This will give you access to the rest of the readme for full, detailed install instructions and the Usual Notes and Other Ramblings...
Good Hunting!

This is a simple mod of the excellent Third Wire Hunter to give a flyable 'what if' Hawker Hunter F.6 of the West German Air Force with markings for JG71, JG72, JG73 and JG74 for the approximate late 1950's to late 1960's period.
As it uses stock Luftwaffe serial numbers I think you really need the latest SF2:Europe but it should work in SF2 also as the F.6 LODs are in there too but you might not get the serial numbers.
You can swap the skins and decals around to suit - have fun.

TK thanks to the excellent model established.
