Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat, VF-41 'Operation Torch' Skin & Ini Pak
 
for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE WW2: MTO Installs
 
=Version 2.0 - will update and REPLACE the original from 2005=
 
This package contains a new skin, and some minor data & cockpit ini mods for Pasko's F4F-4 "Wildcat". It is designed to TOTALLY replace the VF-41 version released several years ago.
 
The skin represents VF-41 "Red Rippers" based aboard USS RANGER during Operation Torch, the Invasion of North Africa (well, actually, we all know it was Morocco and Tunisia, but why quibble???)
 
This new skin, like the other Wildcat skins I've done recently, is from my home-grown template, with all redrawn panel, rivet and other details. It has been resized to 1024x, so has a bit more detail than the older 512 version. All new decals, of the correct font and size have been created for the Modex and BuNums. The BuNums ARE for -4 Wildcats, but I was unable to acertain WHICH exact numbers were used by VF-41 during Torch. So, consider them as 'generic'; accurate, but generic <grin>
 
For those that haven't updated their MTO install's F4F-4, all the inis and sounds from the PTO Wildcat Upgrade are included; new data, cockpit and Main ini --so make sure you follow the instructions below!!!
The cockpit ini makes use of a new WW2 N-3 gunsight tga.
Like it's PTO brother, the canopy has been switched to an animation key (shift/0). The wingfold stays the same as originally issued; you use the bomb-bay control key (cntrl/O). As always, all the lights have been updated with accurate running, formation and landing lights. Also, the landing gear retraction sound is now the 'rachet' noise, as heard in the PTO upgrades.
A new WoE-style 'carrier deck' hangar screen, JUST for this mod is included (as it uses the VF41 skin)
 
As always, it's reccomended you unzip this package to a temp folder or your desktop, or somewhere's else that's easy to find to gain access to the rest of this readme for full, detailed install instructions.
 
Good Hunting!

Hawker Hunter FGA.9  'Belize' - Royal Air Force for STRIKE FIGHTERS 1
This is a very simple mod of the sublime Third Wire Hunter FGA.9 to enable you to fly a 1960's era Hunter with either No.1417 Flight based in Belize or No.1435 Flight based on the Falkland Islands. Both are very famous flights in the RAF but such deployments are, of course, fictional. For gameplay reasons, No.1417 Flight are squadron strength whilst No.1435 Flight are just a four-ship with Faith, Hope, Charity and Desperation tail codes!
This will only work in 'Wings Over Europe' but you can, of course, also make it work in the other Third Wire Series One games by extracting and exporting all of the relevant files.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9b folder into your Aircraft folder.
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the HunterFGA9b into your Decals folder.
Your stock Hunter FGA.9 will not be affected by this mod.

McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.5 - Royal Air Force Near East Air Force STRIKE FIGHTERS 1
Two simple modded skins for you to add to my McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.5 to place it in service with RAF Near East Command in the 1970's.
This should work in all of Third Wire Series One games as it uses the ubiquitous F-4E.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Drag and drop the skin folders into your Phantom FGR.5 folder.
The decals are contained within the skin folder but it is essential that you have my FGR.5 installed to get the common decals (national markings and serial numbers).

1.The Panthers (White & Green)
2. The Hawks (Black & Green)
3. The Bats (Black & White)
4. The Falcons (Red & Yellow)
5. The Leopards (Black & Yellow)
6. The Eagles (Green & Red)
7. The Rattlesnakes (Yellow & Green)
8. The Scorpions (Black & Red)
9. The Fennec Foxes (Yellow & White)
10. The Golden Jackals (Yellow & Dark Teal)
11. The Rams (Green and Blue)
12. The Ospreys (White & Red)
13. The Antelopes (Black,White & Green)
Each squadron has a simple checkerboard roundel marking, a checkerboard fin strip and a squadron badge.
It would be great to see what Dhimari aircraft you can come up with! Long live the King!
