Historical Wings over Israel missions:
First Mig kill by Nesher
 
In 1973 The 101 First Fighter Squadron has got its new Nesher aircrafts from IAI. On January 8 1973, a flight of 4 IDF Neshers was directed, in an intercept course towards a flight of 4 Syrian Mig-21s, over the mountain of Druze, an elevated volcanic region in southern Syria. The Neshers engaged the Mig-21s in low altitude and low speed. One of the Neshers had shoot down a Mig-21 using a sidewinder missile. This was the first Mig kill by Israeli Nesher. Many to come in the future.

This is the original version of "Red vs. Blue," which was given the working title of "yowza." Aircraft from every era battling in the skies over Southern California.
 
For this mission to work, you need the following:
 
scal terrain
F-16A_10
MiG-28
MiG-15
F-86F
F-14A
F-15C
 
This mission is a joy to see if everything falls together right. The F-86s knew to go after the MiG-15s the first time I played it. The second time I got to see a MiG-28 get shot down by a Sabre because it was dumb enough to try playing chicken.

This campaign is made for a tutorial with the title:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What i must do to to bring a new Air Force in a stock campaign?
===========================================
 
Lets say i want to mod the WOE stock campaign Red Thunder 1962 and want to include the westgerman and the east german airforces.
 
First we need the files
 
woeCamp1.ini
and
WOECAMP1_DATA.ini
 
both files you find in the folder Campaigns/woeCamp1
if not, then you must extract them with an extraction tool like SFP1E extractor
 
 
Make following steps:
 
1.) open files woeCamp1.ini with windows notepad editor
 
2.) look for the lines
 
[CampaignData]
CampaignName=1962
DataFile=1962_data.ini
CampaignMap=GermanyCE
Service001=USAF
Service002=RAF
Service003=France
 
3.) add now
 
Service004=EGermany
Service005=WGermany
 
4.) save the file.
 
 
Now we have included the Luftwaffe and the LSK/LV as new airforces which can deploy units in the campaign.
Our next step is to bring 2 east german and 3 west german units in the campaign. The east germans we place at Holzdorf AB and Peenemünde while the west germans we place at Wittmundhafen, Neuburg and Büchel.
 
5.) open file WOECAMP1_DATA.ini with notepad editor
scroll to the last airunit entry which is
 
[AirUnit078]

ForceID=2
Nation=SOVIET
StartDate=11/15/1962

......................
 
6.) after this entry we will place the 2 east german units

8.) save the file.
 
 
BE CAREFULL: you must place the units at existing airfields. Which AB are existant you find in the GermanyCE_targets.ini.
Make sure that the names of the baseses are the same in Targets.ini and campaign_data.ini.
 
For instance if you write
 
BaseArea=Wittmundhaven Airbase
 
instead
 
BaseArea=Wittmundhafen Airbase
 
the unit will not exist in game.
 
 
 
After this we must include the new created air units into the woeCamp1.ini file, if we want to fly the birds of this units. If not, then we have nothing to do anymore. But i want to fly the MiG's for the LSK and the Starfighters for the Luftwaffe, so we continue:
 
9.) open file woeCamp1.ini
 
10.) scroll to the end and include following lines:
 
//LSK units
 
[EGermanyUnit001]
UnitName=JG-8
ForceID=2
UnitID=34
StartDate=1962
DescFile=woe1Start.txt
StartText=woe1Start1.txt
AircraftType=MiG-17F
 
[EGermanyUnit002]
UnitName=JG-2
ForceID=2
UnitID=35
StartDate=1962
DescFile=woe1Start.txt
StartText=woe1Start1.txt
AircraftType=MiG-21F
 
 
//Bundesluftwaffe units
 
[WGermanyUnit001]
UnitName=JG 71
ForceID=1
UnitID=46
StartDate=1962
DescFile=woe1Start.txt
StartText=woe1Start1.txt
AircraftType=F-104G
 
[WGermanyUnit002]
UnitName=JG 74
ForceID=1
UnitID=47
StartDate=1962
DescFile=woe1Start.txt
StartText=woe1Start1.txt
AircraftType=F-104G
 
[WGermanyUnit003]
UnitName=JBG 33
ForceID=1
UnitID=48
StartDate=1962
DescFile=woe1Start.txt
StartText=woe1Start1.txt
AircraftType=F-104G
 
 
 
The most problematic part is the UnitID= number
 
you must count which number the single unit has. For the blue side and for the red side.
For instance, the JG-71 is the 46th blue unit. To get this number is relativly simple. You must look in the WOECAMP_DATA.ini and look for the last "blue" air unit. If you look right it is the 42nd TRS which has in the campaign the air unit number 045 [AirUnit045].
Thatywhy the next blue air unit has the UnitID=46, then comes 47 and so on.
 
With the red air units it is a little bit mor difficult, because the first red air unit has in the data.ini the number [AirUnit046]. But in the woecamp.ini it is not designated as UnitID=46, because it is the first "red" air unit and thatswhy would get the designation UnitID=1 (only if the unit would be flyable)
To get the correct UnitID= number of the 2 east german units we must count all red air units. If you do it you will see that we have in the stock campaign 33 soviet (red) air units. Thatswhy the first east german unit get the number UnitID=34 and the other UnitID=35
 
 
11.) Save the file.
 
 
 
12.) Finally comes the testing of the campaign.
 
Thats it.

More simple SF missions set in the Falklands - this time flying for Argentina. Requires A4P or A4Q, Sea Harrier, HMS Bristol, HMS Hermes. Desert or EAWEuro terrain.

*Version 1.1*
This update lowers the intensity level from Version 1.0. Only enemy squadrons located nearest the border will be assigned missions. Supply has also been reduced for friendly and enemy squadrons. As a result, fewer enemy aircraft should appear in the air, better reflecting the limited nature of the historical conflict. Make no mistake, occasionally the campaign engine will generate large aerial engagements; this is historical, as well.
 
Some base assignments have also been altered to better reflect historical positioning. In particular, IAF 101 Squadron has been moved to Bir Gafgafa on the Sinai Peninsula. The IAF maintained a Mirage detachment there throughout the Attrition War period; expect plenty of action along the Suez Canal.
 
*The Campaign*
This campaign depicts the situation in the Middle East as it stood between June 1967 and October 1973. Based on the stock WOI Yom Kippur campaign, it begins in July 1967 and ends in September 1973. When combined with “War for the Water” and “Golan Stalemate,” the player can begin in 1963 and fly a continuous nineteen-year IAF career.
 
There will be no all-out air offensive; this is a long, limited conflict. Ground offensive has been disabled, so borders remain static. Supply is minimal, restricting the number of aircraft in the sky. Mission mix includes routine patrols punctuated by occasional strike missions into enemy territory. You may fly a maximum of fifty missions, roughly one every forty-five days.
 
IAF fighter and strike squadrons start out with their historical aircraft, entering the campaign at the time they were activated. Some squadrons will upgrade both their livery and their aircraft type during the course of the campaign.
 
The Soviets also make appearances in 1970 and 1971.

The best way to enjoy Wings Over Vietnam and Strike fighters, IMHO, is via a carrier campaign. The only available carrier campaigns are for US Navy carriers - until now!
 
This mod will allow you to fly the stock WoV Linebacker II Campaign off the deck of the Royal Australian Navy aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne. The Melbourne deployed to Vietnam three times over the course of the war, but did not take part in offensive air operations - you now have the opportunity to change that.
 
Enclosed are all the files you need to fly the Campaign.
 
NOTE: This mod has NOT been tested with the latest version of WoV.
 
Thanks to Hinchinbrooke and capun for objects and data for this mod.

On target area there is an heavy concentration of enemy air defense, so is necessary
to fly at low altitude to wp 04(IP) - wp 05(target) - wp 06 - wp 07.
 
In the folder there is also a fligh plan with speed and altitude suggested for the mission.
 
Also many enemy aircraft will be on CAP mission.
 
Aircraft needed:
 
B-1B Lancer (new model)
E-3A
E-8C
B-52G_Late
KC-10
FA-18A
F-16C_B30
MIG-21MF
MIG-25PD
MIG-25RB
 
all the aircrafts are available on ODS Campaign 1-2-3
 
F-15A
F-14D available on WOE aircraft downloads
 
Ships needed:
 
CNV-75 available on WOE ships download
CVN-71 available on ODS Campaign 1-2-3
 
Installation instructions:
 
Copy and overwrite DS_types.ini and DS_targets.ini in your WOE_terrain_DS folder.
Copy B-1B #Baghdad Republican Guard HQ mission file in your WOE_mission
 
 
 
 
 
 

B-1B Operation Enduring Freedom
 
3 missios for B-1B Lancer on WOE_Afghanistan Terrain.
 
In real world B-1B takes off from Thumrait (Oman) AB and Diego Garcia AB, but it's not possible do that
in Afghanistan terrain; so in my WOE Afghan missions B-1B starts from an Afghan AB (considered as Thumrait AB or
Diego Garcia AB).
 
I suggest to fly steps from WP03 to WP04 and from WP07 to WP08 at 2Xspeed simulation.
 
As more targets are protected into valley and mountains it's necessary a big care to designate them
using radar in "difficult option".
 
Aircraft needed:
 
B-1B Lancer
FA-18A
F-16C_BC30
 
Ground objects:
SA-6L
taliban_DSHK
Taliban
 
Istallation:
Copy and overwrtite (after backup) Afghanistan_TYPES and Afghanistan_targets.ini
in Your WOE_afghanistan terrain folder.
Copy the mission files in Your WOE_mission folder.

INSTALLATION OF THIS MOD WILL OVERWRITE THE FOLLOWING FILES, WHICH WILL BREAK THE STOCK INSTALL AND ANY OTHER MODS WHICH RELY ON THESE FILES. BACKUP THESE FILES BEFORE INSTALLATION SO YOU CAN RESTORE THEM IF NECESSARY.

And many others! Check the download package before installing over a modded install! You have been warned!
 
 
********************************************************************************************
 
 
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. Install SFP1/WoV/WoE
 
(For WoV & WoE follow Wrench's instructions to create an era-specific install - see KB at combatace)
 
2. Patch up to v 083006
 
3. Delete all stock aircraft
 
4. Install the DAT aircraft listed above
 
5. Install Wrench's WW2 wep pak.
 
6. Install Gepard's BoB terrain v1.4. For detailed instructions on how to do this, see the readme file for the terrain.
 
7. Copy the Battle of Britain campaign mod files to the relevant folder of your new install. The simplest thing is to retain the file structure and copy the unpacked files over. Items in the Campaigns, Flight, Menu, Missions, Objects and Objects/Aircraft, PilotData, Sounds and Terrain folders go into those same folders in your new install. The options.ini file goes into your main Strike Fighters folder. When asked to overwrite existing files, say "Yes" each time. YOU DID BACK UP THOSE FILES LISTED ABOVE, DIDN'T YOU?
 
8. Copy the file Hurricane-R10D.LOD from the Hurricane1 folder into the Hurricane2A folder.
 
9. Copy all the Spitfire .LOD files from the Spitfire1A folder into the Spitfire2A folder.
 
10. That's it. Battle of Britain should now be available at the campaign menu. Happy hunting!
 
 
********************************************************************************************
 
 
 
KNOWN ISSUES:-
 
1. Finally sorted out the "random movement of air units" bug. That was the main problem which meant this campaign was a beta release. You should now see a lot more air activity on both sides.
 
 
2. Victory conditions.
"Winning" a campaign depends on your Force capturing the enemy Base node. So the best the RAF can hope for is a lose or a stall. No invasion of Fortress Europe in 1940! As for the Luftwaffe, well. . .
 
 
3. The RAF fly a lot of intercept missions, and they're hard. Good luck! Use high energy boom and zoom attacks, or frontal attacks for best results. Try to keep your wingies alive. Remember this is a war of attrition, so kills matter. Ignore Bitchin' Betty when she tells you to RTB, mission failed. Finish off those bombers!
 
As an extra hint, the campaign engine does not fix intercept waypoints very efficiently. If you rely on them, you will not intercept bomber formations until they are on top of their target - by which time it's too late. Use planning map to move your waypoints to show the most direct route between waypoint 2 and your objective point. Then use Red Crown to give you the best vector to your target. Intercept those bombers while they are still out there!
 
 
4. In order to make the phased campaign work properly, I have brought forward the front-line operational dates of certain squadrons (303, 310, 603 and 1 RCAF) to the start of July 1940. This is clearly non-historical. However, having later start dates meant that the timings of the phased campaign were thrown out of kilter, so I chose this as the lesser of two evils.

*************************************************************************************************

With new WWII maps coming to play, I decided to make a WWII campaign.
 
Unlike any WWII campaign, I took the liberty to add modern warbirds into the fray just for the fun of it.
The creation of this campaign was influence by the movie The Final Countdown.
 
The campaign is mostly an air war due to my limited knowledge on how strategic nodes work. So if anyone want to assist me in this (recommendations and so forth), I'd be greatful.
 
The campaign currently only allow you to fly the F4F-4 and the F-14D because I have yet to add carriers in the campaign.
 
Future plans may include adding carriers to the fray which add more US aircraft into the mix as well as the Japanese.

THE BATTLE OF THE PHILIPPINES 1941-42
 
v1.1
 
31 July 2008
 
**********************************************
 
A Campaign Mod for SFP1/WoV/WoE
 
by Baltika
 
**********************************************
 
 
On 7 December 1941, Imperial Japan launched a combined full-scale assault on the Dutch East Indies, the Philippines and the Malay Peninsula. The US Fleet was attacked and decimated at Pearl Harbor. Allied defence strategy was predicated on Japan attacking only a single Allied power, with the others sending military assistance in the event of an assault. The Japanese grand strategy left the Allies reeling, falling back on every front under the strength and ferocity of the Japanese attack.
 
Lt. Gen. Masaharu Homma, commander of the Japanese 14th Army, was tasked with the invasion of the Philippines. Vice Admiral Ibo Takahashi commanded the IJN 3rd Fleet, Philippines Force, for the amphibious assault. Air Support was provided by the IJAAF 5th Air Group under Lt. Gen. Hideyoshi Obata, and the IJNAF 11th Air Fleet under Vice Admiral Nishizo Tsukahara.
 
Gen. Douglas MacArthur commanded the combined US and Philippino defensive force, organised into the US Army Forces in the Far East.
 
Maj. Gen. Lewis H. Brereton commanded the Far East Air Force, consisting of P-40 Warhawk, B-17 bomber and P-35 Guardsman squadrons. The Philippino Air Force fielded a squadron of valiant but outclassed P-26A "Peashooters."
 
The Battle of the Philippines lasted until the final surrender of the garrison on 8 May 1942. The survivors suffered brutal treatment in captivity. Thousands died on the "Bataan Death March" or working in slave labour camps.
 
The Philippines were finally liberated in 1945. But that is another story. . .

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
 
It is recommended that you install this campaign to a dedicated PTO install of SFP1/WoV/WoE. You don't need a separate install just for this campaign, it will sit happily in an existing PTO install. Just be careful about over-writing any of your modded files. The most obvious one is the SquadronList.ini. Unzip the d/l package to a temp file and check its contents before installation. If unsure, BACK UP YOUR MODS FIRST!!!!!!!!!
 
 
If you have already installed v1.0 of this campaign, simply unzip the files to a temp folder, and then copy them over to your existing install, overwriting when requested to do so. Make sure you don't have any "nested" folders when copying over.
 
If you are starting from scratch, here's the drill:
 
1. Install Strike Fighters Project One
 
2. Patch up to v 083006
 
3. Install Bunyap's weapons pack (Required for WW2 weapons)
 
4. Delete all stock aircraft
 
5. Install the aircraft, ground objects and terrain listed above
 
6. Install Charles' WW2 formations mod
 
7. Install the PAW1 Campaign Mod files to the relevant folder of your new install. The simplest thing is to retain the file structure and copy the unpacked files over. It should be obvious where everything has to go. Overwrite when requested to do so. You may want to backup your original SQUADRONLIST.INI. Or, just cut and paste the squadrons from the included list to the end of your current one, renumbering where the last one leaves off.
 
8. VERY IMPORTANT! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
 
9. Browse to your /Terrain folder. You will see folders called "Phillipines" [sic] and "Philippines1941" - inside the Philippines1941 folder is just a bunch of .ini files, some new planning maps and 1941 static P-40E skins, credit to Wrench. Open the "Phillipines" folder, and copy and paste its entire contents into your "Philippines1941" folder, EXCEPT the following files:-
 
P40E1.BMP
P40E1Dest.BMP
P40E2.BMP
PlanningMap1.bmp
PlanningMap2.bmp
PlanningMap3.bmp
Phillipines.INI
Phillipines_briefing.INI
Phillipines_DATA.INI
Phillipines_dogfight.INI
Phillipines_movement.INI
Phillipines_nations.INI
Phillipines_targets.INI
Phillipines_types.INI
Phillipines.HFD
Phillipines.TFD
 
You will see that the 1941 terrain folder already contains the necessary .ini files. I have also resized Wrench's P-40E OD skin to be used for the parked P-40s. Otherwise you will get the wrong type of P40 for 1941 parked on your runways. I have also included new planning maps for the 1941 version of the Philippines terrain.
 
11. IF YOU DO NOT CARRY OUT THE ABOVE STEPS YOU WILL GET A CTD WHEN YOU TRY TO FLY THE CAMPAIGN ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
 
12. If you are running WoV/WoE, you will need to change the catfile pointer in the terrain.ini to get it to work properly. Any problems, give me a shout.
 
That's it. "Battle of the Philippines" should now be available at the campaign selection screen.

KNOWN ISSUES:-
************
 
1. Flying the Val off the IJN Ryujo, you will probably blow up on the deck. I think it has to do with the positioning of the catapults and the size of the plane, but I don't know how to fix it. The Zero works just fine. So, if you really want to fly a whole campaign in the Val, select start mission "In Air" or "Near Target." Downloading the updated Val available at Combatace may fix this.
 
2. On the subject of the Ryujo, I know the model used is the IJN Akagi. There are quite a few placeholders for unit types etc, but these are marked in the main campaign_data.ini if you are interested. You can easily swap the Akagi for Hinchinbrooke's IJN Zuiho, which is closer to the light carrier model. Install the Zuiho, and change the CarrierType= Flag in the Carrier Units section of the campaign_data.ini to read CarrierType=Zuiho. I got random CTDs after doing this, but it may be something in my install.
 
3. The north end of Luzon is behind the 50k "Wall" at the edge of the map. For this reason, Japanese ground forces have already landed at the start of the campaign, and you may bump into the wall in the early days.
 
4. The ALT+N function often makes you crash into the mountains in central Luzon, particularly flying a Zero campaign. To avoid this, make good use of your planning map to move your waypoints to ensure your flight path is over low ground where possible. Otherwise, fly the whole mission from the deck and back. Yes, you heard me, pilot ;-)
 
5. There are a lot more Japanese planes available which are not flyable in campaign. This is because the bulk of the Japanese forces start on "off-map" bases on Formosa. Thanks to Stwa for that particular trick, cheers, mate ;-) Maybe in chapter two you can fly a Tony or whatever ;-)
 
6. I have now much more thoroughly playtested the ground war, and it should run properly. It is quite carefully scripted to achieve a historical outcome. However, a few odd things may still happen in the campaign. Please report any strangeness to me at combatace, cheers ;-)
 
7. If you don't like the red text for start/end campaign screens, browse to your SFP1/Menu folder and delete the OVERLAYTEXTSETTING.INI file to go back to the stock text colour.
