Out of Africa '77
 
The 1st Marine Expeditionary Force is assigned to protect the lawfully elected government of Madagascar from a Soviet-backed Communist insurgency. The self-styled "Malagasy People's Liberation Army" is carrying out a campaign of terror against the populace and openly confronting government forces. The MPLA is a known terrorist organisation which is secretly supplied with arms, equipment and training by the USSR.
 
Meanwhile, North Korea is massing troops on the DMZ. The bulk of USMC forces are urgently required to stabilise the situation in Korea, and the main elements of the CVBG are ordered to make all speed to South Korea.
 
The US Government knows that it is essential to maintain a military presence in Madagascar or the MPLA will seize control. Honoring its commitment to defend Madagascar, VMA-542 'Tigers' and VA-153 'Blue Tail Flies' are ordered to provide Combat Air Support to the remaining ground troops of 1 MEF. 1 MEF is ordered to hold the line against the Communist advance.
 
The supply situation is critical. There is no ETA for relief of the USMC forces on station. Make every shot count.
 
// -------------------------------------------------
 
Red Africa '77
 
The Malagasy People's Liberation Army is heavily engaged in a patriotic war to free the people from the autocratic rule of the current President. The worker's army is opposed not only by the corrupt government troops, but by Imperialist American forces who oppose the liberation of the Malagasy People.
 
The MPLA have two Tank Brigades and a squadron of aging MiG-17 fighters. They are supported by neighbouring Mozambique, whose government is sympathetic to the MPLA cause.
 
Soviet foreign policy dictates that the revolutionaries be given military aid to preserve Soviet interests in the region.
 
The Imperialists must be crushed!
 
// --------------------------------------------------
 
 
I recently re-discovered the utter gorgeousness of this terrain by Deuces and USAFMTL (Dave), with Treemod by Stary, and wanted to do something to say thanks to the guys who made it possible.
 
So, I have completely re-vamped the original "Out of Africa" Campaign included with the terrain d/l to include a fully-fledged "USMC vs Communist Insurgents backed up by the Soviets" backs-to-the-wall defence of democracy on Madagascar.
 
The main reason for the upgrade was to bring the Madagascar terrain.ini files up to speed to support all the various mission types, and to create a full ground war for the 1977 campaign.
 
I have tried to stay as true as possible to the original intentions, I hope this will meet with the author's approval. This is one tough campaign to beat.
 
Full credit to Dave (USAFMTL) for the original campaign concept and core files on which this mod is completely based.
 
Enjoy!

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:-
 
1. Install Madagascar Terrain, and the MiG-17 "mad" skin from the terrain d/l package. Please note, it is not necessary nowadays to copy and re-name the terrain catfile, just set the catpointer in the terrain.INI file to the correct catfile.
 
2. Install Madagascar Treemod
 
3. Fly around a bit if you like, and wonder at the beauty of it all. Cheers to Deuces and Przemek, thanks guys ;-)
 
4. Install the listed aircraft. You will need to check the Mystere's weapons are in your wep pack. Likewise with the MiG-21SM's missiles.
 
5. If you wish to fly Red Africa campaign, you will need to make the stock TW MiGs flyable by adding cockpits. But, you've already done that, right? ;-)
 
6. Depending on which game(s) you have, you may have to copy out some of the tanks. The required tanks are all in WoE, but do not all come stock in SFP1/SFG/WOV
 
7. Then, and only then, install the various files included in this d/l pack. Overwrite when prompted. I have packaged it up so it should be obvious where it all has to go. You must use the included terrain .ini files or the campaign ground war won't work.
 
8. Select "770114 Out of Africa '77" from the Campaign selection screen, and go fight the Commies.
 
9. Alternatively, select "770114 Red Africa '77" from the Campaign selection screen, and go fight the capitalist Imperialists.
 
10. Drop me a PM if you find any bugs or glitches, or to say hello, or to say thanks for the Red Flyable campaign, if you were one of the 2 people who asked for one ;-)
 
11. The included files are completely compatible with Canadair's Out of Africa 3 v1.5 campaign, so don't worry if you already have that installed.
 
12. And if I may make a personal request of Deuces, or Dave, or even Stary. If any of you guys still have the original TextureList which was used to build the released version of the Madagascar terrain, could you shoot it over to me please? The VN Texturelist included with the terrain d/l is missing many of the required tiles, and I can't create a texturelist from scratch without messing up all the detailed tiling that has already been done. I would really like to add a few airbases, cities, settlements and so forth, and populate the islands, etc, etc, with a view to building a modern-day campaign for this terrain, and expanding the targetlist; but it can't be done without the original texturelist. Thanks again for all the hard work which has obviously gone into this terrain.
 
13. For those with WOE, I have included an alternative campaign DATA.INI file which will use the stock AV-8A as a flyable in place of the AV-8C. Just re-name this file to replace OUTOFAFRICA77_DATA.INI file if you wish to use it. I have noticed, while test-flying Red Africa campaign, that the 08 patch level AI has some trouble flying the AV-8C. It may be that the FM for that bird needs an upgrade to the latest game build level. That is beyond the scope of this mod.
 
 
Happy Hunting!
 
Cheers to one and all!

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.

Let me also express my grateful thanks to those Devs and modders listed above who have granted permission to allow their work to be included in this package. That makes installation a whole lot easier! And, of course, without their work, this campaign would, quite simply, not exist. Thanks to all!
 
If I have missed anyone out please let me know and I will add your name, with my apologies.
 
Orders of Battle and Unit strengths are taken from the appendices to "The Most Dangerous Enemy - A History of the Battle of Britain" by Stephen Bungay, ISBN 1-85410-801-8. Thoroughly recommended for those with an interest in the Battle of Britain.

Burning Sands 1944 v1.0
 
A fictional WW2 Campaign for Strike Fighters Project One
 
by baltika
 
 
 
*****************************************************************************************************************************
 
This is a mod of the stock Burning Sands campaign to take advantage of the many excellent WW2 MTO planes and skins which have been produced by individuals more talented than me. It is entirely fictional.
 
Please note that this download includes the campaign files only. 3rd party planes, skins and ground objects, and a couple of other essential mods, will require separate download. Full list below. But let's face it, if you're reading this you've already got them all anyway. Hell, you've probably got a dedicated MTO install you can drop this right into.
 
My thanks to all devs and modders whose work has inspired this campaign. See Credits.

I./StG2 Ju 87B (Stuka)
I./JG300 FW-190A-8/R2 (Wurger)
 
 
DESERT TERRAIN CHANGES:-
 
-No more concrete runways. All airfields replaced with the desert airstrip, for a more WW2 look.
-Desert airstrip re-classified as MEDIUM_RUNWAY to allow some of the bigger birds to take off.
-Sam sites, radars, trucks and so on replaced with WW2 equivalents. But ground object placement is a frustrating and time-consuming business so more work is required here. For now, all AAA sites are active in 1944, and most of the airstrips will have a few WW2 vehicles around, including mobile AA units which will fire at you if you get low enough. You have been warned!
 
 
USER INTERFACE:-
 
-Squadron specific intro, victory and defeat screens to add atmosphere.
 
Please see Credits section for a full list of the modders whose work is featured in these screenshots. Thanks to everyone involved. If your name has been omitted, it is in error and I apologise. Please contact me and I will rectify the situation.

AGAIN, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! BACKUP THOSE FILES!
 
Or, make a fresh install to run this campaign. Having a dedicated MTO install will probably make life easier. If you have that, you're not going to use it to run stock Burning Sands anyway.
 
Those of you who know what you are doing can copy my squadron list on to the end of the existing squadron list, if you already have a modded SquadronList.ini. You will have to renumber the squadrons.
 
I have simply added more (WW2) target types onto the end of those listed in DESERT_TYPES.INI, so that shouldn't cause any problem at all.

Fw190 - WOLF257
Bf-109G10 - WOLF257
 
EDIT:- WOLF has generously re-issued his planes as the WW2 plane pack, available here at CombatAce. At present only the 2 listed above are required. A major expansion to this campaign is in the works to utilise the many American birds now available. Cheers to WOLF for the re-release.
 
 
COCKPITS:-

SKINS:-

213 Sqdn Hurri 2C - The Wrench
145 Sqdn Spitfire Mk8 - The Wrench
Bf-109G10 MTO JG53 - The Wrench
Bf-109G10 MTO JG77 - The Wrench
Fw190 MTO JG2 - The Wrench
FW190 MTO JG52 - The Wrench
ME-262 MTO JG 77 - The Wrench
 
Some of The Wrench's skins available at combatace. Best to stop off at his site first though, as not all are. Get them here:- http://wrench1smog.com/index.html
 
Bf-109E MTO theme - mrcraig
He111H6 IIKG26 - allenjb42
 
Both of the above available at combatace.
 
Please note, if you are using the Wurger instead of the Fw190, The Wrench's Fw190 MTO skins will work perfectly well on the Wurger, as it is a mod of WOLF's original Fw190.
 
 
 
GROUND OBJECTS:-
**************
 
WWII Ground Object Packs 1 & 2 - George (Geo)
http://www.geos-aircraft.com/SFObjects.htm
 
KpfPzIII_Pack - Kesselbrut

WW2 AAA units -
BoforsFlak, FlakAchtAcht, Tommyflak37, Vierlingsflak - Created by Kesselbrut
 
I'm not sure where these can be downloaded seperately. However, if you have downloaded Gepard's excellent Battle of Britain terrain v 1.3, you will have these objects. If you don't have the BoB terrain, this is your excuse to download it from combatace. Otherwise AA fire is going to be thin on the ground in this campaign.
 
 
 
 
OTHER ESSENTIAL DOWNLOADS:-

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. Install Strike Fighters Project One
 
2. Patch up to v 083006
 
3. Install the latest weapons pack.
 
4. Delete all stock aircraft
 
5. Install the aircraft, skins and ground objects listed above. For detailed instructions on how to do this, see the readme file for each individual item. For the AA units from the BoB terrain, simply copy their folders from the SFP1/Objects/Groundobject folder to the the same folder of your new install.
 
6. Install Charles' WW2 formations mod.
 
7. Copy the Burning Sands 1944 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, Menu, Objects, PilotData and Terrain folders go into those same folders in your new install. When asked to overwrite existing files, say "Yes" each time. YOU DID BACK UP THOSE FILES LISTED ABOVE, DIDN'T YOU?
 
8. That's it. Burning Sands 1944 should now be available at the campaign menu. Happy hunting!
 
 
*****************************************************************************************************************************
 
 
 
 
KNOWN ISSUES
 
1. Some of the third party planes use the "_" character in the name of their install folder when unzipped, e.g. Bf_110E, He_111H6, Me_262A, P_40E. For some reason, my set up refuses to recognise those planes as installed when that character is present. I have all those planes installed in the following format: Strike Fighters/Objects/Aircraft/Bf-110E, Strike Fighters/Objects/Aircraft/He-111H6 and so on (Me-262A, P-40E). I have used that format in the BS1944_data.ini file, so if you find that the campaign does not allow you to select those planes, check that you have installed those planes with the same naming format. If they are different, either change each air unit entry in the BS1944_data.ini file to match the install folder for each plane, or change the name of the plane's install folder to the format used in the BS1944_data.ini file.
 
2. WOLF257's planes are not currently available for download. If you don't have them, use the alternative BS1944_data.ini file provided.
 
3. Skins. I have used the "DefaultTexture=" flag for each unit (in the BS1944_data.ini file) to try to ensure all planes use the appropriate MTO skin. Sometimes planes still show up in ETO skins. I have no idea why. If you are having skin problems, check that the "DefaultTexture=" for each squadron specifies the skin folder in the aircraft folder correctly. Or you could create a specific MTO install where the only skin in each plane's folder is an MTO skin - hint, hint. Otherwise, answers on a postcard to. . .
 
4. Loadouts. If you are having trouble saddling up with the appropriate tank-busting gear or whatever, check that the "AttachmentType=" flag in the Weapon Stations section of the appropriate aircraft_DATA.ini file is specified properly. Bunyap's site has updated DATA.ini files for many aircraft so they work with the latest weapons pack. Or just set it like this, "AttachmentType=UK,USAF,USN" (without the quotes) for the Allies and all will be well. Purists run screaming for the hills at this point. For Luftwaffe the setting is "AttachmentType=Nazi Germany" On the subject of loadouts, if (like me) you want to fly CAS campaign missions in the Hurri 2C (and what else would you do with a wingful of rockets?), go to the Strike Fighters/Objects/Aircraft/Hurricane2C/Hurricane2C_DATA.ini file, and add CAS to the "PrimaryRoles=" flag under [MissionData] near the top of the file. My apologies to the A-team. My excuse is that this is a fictional campaign.
 
5. I know that the RAAF squadron has to be selected from the RAF list. My apologies to our Australian cousins. Apparently the current build of the campaign engine has trouble with the ground war if more than two forces are defined. Take solace in the fact that the Poms can't cope without you.
 
6. If you have any other problems, questions, suggestions or constructive criticism, I can be contacted at Combatace, SimHQ, column5.us and the Thirdwire forums. I can't promise to solve your issue, but talking helps.
 
7. Now, if only someone would make an MTO skin for the Hawker Typhoon. . . ;-)
 
 
 
Cheers,

CREDITS
 
 
 
This campaign is my way of saying thanks to all the modders who have created so many great WW2 planes to enhance the community's enjoyment of this great series of sims. Without all their hard work in producing a wealth of additional planes, skins, ground objects, terrains, weather mods, and all the rest, this mod would, quite simply, not exist. My thanks to all concerned, and indeed the wider SFP1/WOV/WOE/FE community in general who have provided so much information about how this whole bag of nuts and bolts works.
 
And, of course, thanks to TK and Thirdwire for creating SFP1/WOV/WOE/FE in the first place.
 
 
I have included a number of screenshots which feature the work of various devs and modders, and I would like to thank them for their contribution:-
 
The SFP1 Dev A-team (Capun, Gramps, Charles, Kesselbrut and The Wrench) - Planes and skins too numerous to mention. 12 out of the 16 aircraft featured in this campaign.
 
The Wrench (Kevin Stein) - Skins (see full list above) & inspiration. Kevin kicked this off with his Cold War Gone Hot: 1946 suggestion.
 
Pasko - Stuka Ju 87B (Skins by Gramps)
 
Polak - WW2 Ground objects, Sky mod
 
WOLF257 - Bf-109G10 and Fw190
 
Deuces - weapons, effects
 
Kesselbrut/Geo - WW2 Ground objects

WOV Air & Ground Expansion Pack v. 1.1 - Jan. 2012 Update
 
This is an update package for the "Wings Over Vietnam: Air & Ground Expansion Pack v. 1.1" Gold/Final Release available at CombatAce. Containing fixes and enhancements for both the Aug. 2006 and Oct. 2008 patch levels, it is designed to be applied over the top of an existing installation of the version 1.1 Expansion Pack. You can download the three main Expansion Pack files here:
 
Part 1:
http://combatace.com/files/file/10281-wov-air-ground-war-expansion-pack-gold-part-1/
 
Part 2:
http://combatace.com/files/file/10282-wov-air-ground-war-expansion-pack-gold-part-2/
 
Part 3:
http://combatace.com/files/file/10300-wov-air-ground-war-expansion-pack-gold-part-3/
 
This update is designed to be applied over verison 1.1 (Mar. 2010) of the Expansion Pack. If you installed the original version 1.0 from Dec. 2009 but have not updated to the Mar. 2010 version (available in the links above), you should update before applying this update package.
 
Please take a look over the remainder of this ReadMe before installing the update.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
The installation process has two phases: one for all patch levels; a second for the Aug. 2006 patch level. Here's how to apply this update package:
 
1. Ensure that WOV is properly installed and patched to either the 8.30.2006 or 10.20.2008 level.
 
2. Ensure that the Expansion Pack v. 1.1 (Mar. 2010) is installed to your WOV Installation Directory.
 
3. Unpack WOV_AG-XP_Apr11.7z to a safe place on your drive.
 
4. Open the \All_Patch_Levels directory. Drag and drop all the files and folders from within the \To_Install_Dir to your WOV Install Dir, overwriting as prompted.
 
If you are running WOV at the Oct. 2008 patch level, then your installation process is finished. If you are running at the Aug. 2006 patch level, then you have one last step.
 
5. If you are running the Aug. 2006 patch level, then open the \Aug_2006_Patch directory. Drag and drop all the files and folders from within the \To_Install_Dir to your WOV Install Dir, overwriting as prompted.
 
Now, perform some CLEANUP. This update splits the A-1H Skyraider into two aircraft: the older A-1H, used by the USAF and VNAF; the new A-1H_USN, used by the Navy. All the skins for the new A-1H_USN are included in this update. You should remove the following unused USN skin folders from the older A-1H folder in \Objects\Aircraft:
 
USNGrey1
VA-25
VA-36
VA-52
VA-75
VA-95
VA-115
VA-145
VA-152
VA-165
VA-176
VA-196
VA-215
 
That's it. You should be good to go.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Optional A-1 Cockpits
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Included in the \OPTIONAL\A-1_Cockpits folder is an alternate cockpit for the A-1 Skyraiders. This cockpit, made by Dels, was released in Oct. 2011.
 
The \A-1_Cockpits folder contains one copy of Dels' A-1 cockpit, including the \Cockpit folder as well as the necessary COCKPIT.INIs for each of the Skyraiders.
 
Also included in A-1_Cockpits\old-cockpit are backups of the old .INIs and the old \Cockpit folder from the original Expansion Pack install.
 
Note that the new A-1 cockpit is already installed to the newly added A-1H_USN aircraft. Thus, installation is necessary only for the older A-1H aircraft.
 
To install:
 
1. Remove the existing \Cockpit folder from each of the A-1 folders in \Objects\Aircraft (found in your SF2V Mod Folder).
 
2. Copy the new \Cockpit folder to each of the A-1 folders in \Objects\Aircraft.
 
3. Copy the new COCKPIT.INIs to the appropriate A-1 folders in \Objects\Aircraft.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Note on the Helicopters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Several helicopters have been added as flyable aircraft in this update. Set the "Flight Model" in "Game Play Options" to "Normal," and use your thrust vectoring controls in conjunction with the standard WOV flight controls to maneuver and fly the helos.
 
At the end of the day, though, Strike Fighters is NOT a helicopter sim. That means helo flight models are rough, unrealistic, and borderline unstable. It also means that AI helo pilots can occasionally run into difficulties, esp. when trying to land these things.
 
Until someone creates better helo flight models for WOV (or TK updates the ThirdWire flight engine to accommodate helicopters), that's just the way it is. If you don't like the way the helos fly, then don't fly them.

2. Installation:
 
A. PRELIMINARY NOTES
 
The WOV Air & Ground Expansion Pack can be installed to a standalone install of WOV patched to either the 8.30.2006 or 10.20.2008 level. Patch installers to bring your WOV installation to either of these patch levels are available from ThirdWire:
 
http://www.thirdwire.com/downloads.htm
 
All ThirdWire patches and updates should be applied BEFORE installing the Expansion Pack. For help with installing patches for Wings Over Vietnam, see this page at CombatAce.com:
 
http://forum.combatace.com/topic/25880-official-game-patches-and-services-packs/
 
This expansion pack should not be installed to "Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam" (SF2V). A separate expansion pack designed specifically for SF2V is available in the CombatAce.com Downloads section:
 
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showcat=407
 
We strongly recommend installing this expansion pack to a "clean," unmodded WOV Installation Directory. Installing to a WOV Install Dir that contains other mods (e.g., new aircraft, weapons, ground objects, etc.) could result in a partially or completely broken installation. Likewise, we do advise against installing any of the several "weapons packs" available at CombatAce.com following installation, as doing so could very well break weapons and loadouts. If you want to add additional weapons, install them individually.
 
B. THE MAIN INSTALLATION
 
To install this expansion pack properly:
 
a) Ensure that "Wings Over Vietnam" is already installed and patched to either the 8.30.2006 or 10.20.2008 level.
 
b) If you have a prior installation of WOV that is already modded, then you will need to create a second install of WOV for use with the Expansion Pack. For help creating and managing multiple installs, see this discussion at CombatAce:
 
http://forum.combatace.com/topic/39622-multiple-installs/
 
c) Unpack all three .7z files (WOV_AG-XP_Part1.7z, WOV_AG-XP_Part2.7z, WOV_AG-XP_Part3.7z) to a safe location on your drive.
 
d) Simply drop the contents of the "To_Install_Dir" folder into your Wings Over Vietnam Installation Directory, overwriting existing files as prompted. By default your WOV Install Dir should be located here:
 
\Program Files\ThirdWire\Wings Over Vietnam\
 
If you have installed WOV to another location, then drop the contents of "To_Install_Dir" in that location.
 
If you are running WOV at the Oct. 2008 patch level, then your installation process is finished. If you are running at the Aug. 2006 patch level, then you have one last step.
 
e) If you are installing the expansion pack to Wings Over Vietnam patched to the 8.30.2006 level, then you have an additional installation step. (If you are installing to WOV patched to the 8.20.2008 level, skip to the next step.)
 
If your WOV is patched to the 8.30.2006 level, find the \2006 folder in the location where you unpacked the Expansion Pack files. Then drag and drop the contents of the \2006 folder into your Wings Over Vietnam Install Dir, overwriting existing files as prompted.
 
That's it. You should be good to go.
 
C. OPTIONAL INSTALLATIONS
 
Optionally, install the items included in the \Optional directory (see the "Optional Installs" section below for more information).
 
You may also install the extra items and other bonus mods included in the \Extras folder. Please see the ReadMes included in those directories for more information.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
3. Optional Installs
 
Depending on your system and preferences, you may want to install some of the items included in the \Optional directory.
 
Please note that for some of these optional items we have included versions for both WOV 2006 and WOV 2008. You can find these alternate versions in sub-folder labeled \WOV2006 or \WOV2008 respectively. You should always install the version appropriate for the patch level of your installation of WOV.
 
A. Alternate Terrain Tiles
 
By default this expansion pack installs Pappa Goat's re-painted versions of the Brain32/Green Hell 2 tiles. If you would prefer to use the original tiles by Brain32 and CA_Stary (Green Hell 2) -- which are characterized by a lighter, more blue-ish tint -- you can install those original tiles from the \Optional\GH2_Alt directory.
 
To install, simply copy all the .BMP and .TGA files from top level of the \Optional\GH2_Alt directory to the following locations, overwriting files as prompted:
 
[WOV Install Dir]\Terrain\VietnamSEA
[WOV Install Dir]\Terrain\SouthVietnam
 
The sub-directories of \Optional\GH2_Alt contain alternate air base tiles and differently sized trees that you can also use to tweak the terrains' appearance to your liking. The \_wov200x sub-dirs contain alternate terrain DATA.INIs for WOV 2006 and 2008 that advanced users can mine for alternate terrain graphic settings.
 
B. Alternate Exhaust Emitters
 
On some systems the custom exhaust emitters used on for the B-52s, F-4s, and the F-104C may cause slowdowns. If you experience severe frame rate drops whenever these aircraft are visible, you might consider switching to versions of the aircraft that use the standard DirtyExhaustEmitter.
 
To install aircraft versions that use the DirtyExhaustEmitter in lieu of custom exhaust emitters, simply copy the folders from the appropriate \DirtyExhaust\WO200x folder (excluding \_CustomExhaust) to the \Objects\Aircraft directory of your WOV Install Dir, overwriting as prompted.
 
A copy of the original DATA.INIs with the custom exhaust effects is included in the \_CustomExhaust sub-directory, in case you wish to revert back to the originals.
 
C. Mobile SAM Launchers
 
If you wish to increase the SAM threat in North Vietnam, you can use mobile SAM launchers to boost the number of active SAMs. To install the mobile SAM launchers, simply copy all folders from the \Mobile_SAMs\WOV200x folder to the \Objects\GroundObject directory of your WOV Install Dir.
 
Note any mobile SAMs that exist in \Objects\GroundObject will show up in CAS missions in the "Easter Offensive" Campaign.
 
D. Alternate Flak Effects
 
On some lower-end systems the custom flak effects used in this expansion pack may cause severe slowdowns, esp. in large strikes with lots of flak guns opening up on multiple flights of aircraft. If you see large drop in frame rate performance during intense flak bursts, then you may want to use the alternate flak effects available in the \Flak_Effects directory.
 
To install, simply drag and drop the four .INI files from the \LOW sub-directory of \Flak_Effects to the \Effects directory in your WOV Install Dir, overwriting as prompted. If you wish to restore the original flak effects, copy over the .INI files from the \HIGH sub-drectory to the \Effects directory in your WOV Install Dir.
 
Note that using the alternate flak effects does NOT reduce the effectiveness of flak guns.
 
E. Smoke-Marking Infantry Squads
 
By default most friendly infantry squads (but not individual soldiers) will have their positions marked by red smoke. (The smoke-marking is performed by ENEMY squads -- a key point to remember.) There are several ways to customize this effect:
 
1) If you would prefer not to have friendly squads's positions marked with red smoke, then you can turn that effect off. Copy the \NVA_Squad & \VC_Squad folders from \Optional\PopSmoke\Non-Smokers to the Objects\GroundObject directory in your WOV Install Dir, over-writing as prompted.
 
2) If you would prefer to change the color of the smoke used to mark friendly squads, then drill down to the \Objects\GroundObject directory in your WOV Install Dir. You need to edit the VC_Squad_DATA.INI and NVA_Squad_DATA.INI. At the bottom of each file you will find the data for GunBarrel5:
 
[GunBarrel5]
SystemType=GUN
GunTypeName=M18_Red_Smoke
// GunTypeName=M18_Green_Smoke
// GunTypeName=M18_Yellow_Smoke
// GunTypeName=M18_Violet_Smoke
 
The commented ( // ) GunTypeNames are disabled. Simply comment out the M18_Red_Smoke line and un-comment the line for the color you'd prefer to use.
 
3) If you would like friendly squads to mark enemy squads with smoke, then drill down to the \Objects\GroundObject directory in your WOV Install Dir. You will need to edit the following files:
 
ARVN_Squad_DATA.INI
US_Squad_early_DATA.INI
US_Squad_DATA.INI
VNMC_Squad_DATA.INI
 
At the bottom of each file you will find the data for GunBarrel5:
 
[GunBarrel5]
SystemType=GUN
GunTypeName=DUMMY_GUN
// GunTypeName=M18_Yellow_Smoke
// GunTypeName=M18_Red_Smoke
// GunTypeName=M18_Green_Smoke
// GunTypeName=M18_Violet_Smoke
 
By default GunBarrel5 for friendly squads uses the "Dummy_Gun," which does not pop smoke. Comment out the Dummy_Gun line and un-comment the line for the color of smoke you'd prefer friendly sqauds to mark enemy troops with.
 
F. BUFF-less Campaigns
 
On some systems B-52 strikes can degrade performance to the point where the game is almost unplayable. If you would like to fly campaigns that include no strikes by B-52s, copy the DATA.INIs included in the \NoBUFFs\WOV2000x folder to the appropriate sub-directory in the \Campaigns directory of yur WOV Install Dir. For example, WOVCAMPRT_DATA.INI would go to \Campaigns\Rolling Thunder, and so on.
 
G. Old Diego's Optional Items
 
Old Diego has generously allowed us to use a number of his terrain and ground object models. Most of these are installed by default with the expansion pack. A few ground object items, however, have been left as "optional" installs.
 
Most of these "optional" are additional soldiers. We made them "optional" because we thought not all users would like the way the game will use them for Single Missions (esp. Armed Recon and CAS missions). For example, if you install the USArmyMortar item, you could see entire squads consisting only of mortar-equipped soldiers slugging it out with NVA regulars in CAS missions.
 
These "optional" items from Old Diego could be useful for those building single missions for use with this expansion pack. If you would like to install these other items from Old Diego, simply copy all the folders from the \OldDiego directory to the \Objects\GroundObject directory in your WOV Install Dir.
 
Please note that none of Old Diego's items may be re-used or re-distributed outside of this expansion pack without Old Diego's explicit permission. For a complete listing of the items from Old Diego included in this mod, see the section titled "Note on Old Diego's Items" towards the end of this ReadMe.
 
H. Check-Six for WoV 2006
 
Wings Over Vietnam 2008 introduced a new and very useful view: the ability to "check-six" (view straight back from the cockpit to check for bandits). If you would like to add this view to WoV 2006, open the \Optional\Check6_2006 directory and follow the directions in the ReadMe.txt.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
4. Known Issues
 
- Default CAS loadout for the A-1H should include CBU-25's on the outer wing stations, but the AI doesn't know how to use that weapon. So, load them onto your own aircraft, but don't load them on AI! The same holds true for CBU-14's, which are similar to the CBU-25's.
 
- The A-1H Attack loadout (used for CAS and Armed Recon missions) specifies LAU-32 rocket pods on the outer wing stations. These will not show in the Loadout screen even though they will be loaded for the mission. Likewise, the Strike Loadout specifies M117s on alternating wing stations, though not all will show up in the Loadout screen.
 
- Similarly, in the Loadout screen some USAF F-4 loadouts may show either nothing loaded on the forward AIM-7 Sparrow missile wells or one (possibly two) ECM pods. In the mission itself those weapon stations will carry an ECM pod and a Sparrow respectively. In the same vein, Sidewinder loadouts on the F-4D (Late) and F-4Es in 1972 will show four AIM-9-E2s, though you will actually be carrying 2 AIM-9-E2s and 2 AIM-9Js.
 
- The F-100D Wild Weasel aircraft is not historically accurate. The first Wild Weasels actually used two-seater F-100F Super Sabres fitted out with special electronic equipment to locate and track the radars associated with the SA-2 Guideline. In mid-1966 they began upgrading to F-105Ds. As there is no F-100F model that we are allowed to re-distribute, we elected to cobble together a single-seat F-100D Wild Weasel to stand in its place.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We also spent some time working on the dock areas at Vinh, Hong Gai, and Haiphong, adding cranes, ships, and other structures to give the sense of an active port bristling with activity. We do plan to add still more target areas to the two terrains after the Gold release of this Expansion Pack, however, those will be released as separate terrain update packages.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
6. New Terrain Items
 
To support and populate all the new target areas, we have added several dozen new terrain objects. These new objects have been drawn mainly from the following third-party add-on terrains for the Strike Fighters series:
 
- DRV Terrain (by Gepard)
- Black Sea Terrain (by PFunkWorks)
- Libya Terrain (by Wrench)
- Norway Terrain (by S.Ansons)
 
Templates for some Target Areas have been adapted from:
 
- Operation Desert Storm (by ODS Group)
 
The new terrain objects that we've added should be familiar to those who have used other third-party add-on terrains, as these objects tend to show up in many different terrains. The majority of objects were originally drawn from these sources:
 
- CA_Stary's Forests & Farms Mod
- Polak's Hi-Rise Mod & ObjectsPak1
- JSF_Aggie's Enhanced Runways
- RadarDome by Grumpapotamus
- HeadQuarters, Control Center, Gas station, & Factory Area by Wingwiner
- RailwayStation by Armourdave
 
If you are a modder and we've used one of your terrain items but neglected to give you credit here, please let us know. We would be more than happy to add you to the credits list.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
7. Terrain Notes
 
This expansion pack splits the standard VietnamSEA terrain into two different terrains: North Vietnam and South Vietnam. We decided to go with a split North/South scheme in order to impose more control over the different operations in North and South Vietnam. To that end, there are some key differences between the terrains:
 
A. North Vietnam
 
The North Vietnam terrain includes all the target areas that you are familiar with in the stock WOV terrain. This terrain is designed primarily for Strike missions and the several mission types that support Strikes: Escort, Fighter Sweep (aka MiG CAP or MiG Sweep), and SEAD (Air Defense Suppression) -- in other words, the core mission types for the several air campaigns conducted against North Vietnam. You can also fly Armed Recon and Anti-Ship missions.
 
B. South Vietnam
 
The South Vietnam terrain includes new target areas and target items in South Vietnam, eastern Laos, eastern Cambodia, and the DMZ area. It also includes target areas in North Vietnam up through Route Pack II -- roughly speaking, the Vinh area. This terrain is primarily designed for CAS, Armed Recon, and Anti-Ship missions, though you can also fly Strike and SEAD missions in the lower Route Packs. If you are unfamiliar with the Route Package system used during the air war in Vietnam, see these discussions:
 
http://www.airbattle.co.uk/d_history.html
http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=1394
 
Put simply, where the focus in the North terrain is air operations against North Vietnam, the focus in the South terrain is air operations in support of the ground war against the NLF (Viet Cong, or VC) and PAVN (North Vietnamese Army, or NVA) units.
 
Here's another way to think of the differences between the two terrains when you're flying Single Missions:
 
1. If you want to fly Strike missions against the big targets in North Vietnam, select the North Vietnam terrain in the Single Mission screen.
 
2. If you want to tangle with MiGs as part of Escort or Sweep missions, select the North Vietnam terrain.
 
3. If you want to do battle against North Vietnam's formidable air defense network, fly Air Defense Suppression missions with the North Vietnam terrain.
 
4. If you want to fly CAS missions, choose the South Vietnam terrain. You will be tasked with supporting friendly forces throughout South Vietnam right up to the DMZ area.
 
5. If you want to fly Armed Recon missions, you can go with either the North or South terrain. With the North terrain, you get armed recon missions along the Northeast and Northwest rail lines down through the lower Route Packs as well as the northern third of the Ho Chi Minh Trail in eastern Laos. The South terrain will give you armed recon missions in the lower Route Packs and the complete length of the Ho Chi Minh Trail from the Mu Gia Pass in the north all the way down through southeast Laos and northeast Cambodia.
 
6. Anti-Ship missions are similar: you can fly them in both terrains. Northern shipping routes extend from Haiphong down to Dong Hoi; Southern shipping routes extend from Dong Hoi in North Vietnam down to the Go Cong area near the Mekong Delta in South Vietnam.
 
Also, for historical accuracy, we have also imposed limits on the MiG bases that are operational and available to host VPAF squadrons.
 
Early on in Operation Rolling Thunder, MiGs operated from a small handful of bases: Noi Bai, Kep, Gia Lam, Bac Mai, and Hoa Loc, though other airfields in the Haiphong area and the northwest existed. After the end of Rolling Thunder the North Vietnamese began building or renovating other airfields, including those in the southern panhandle of the country. These included: Ben Loi, Bai Thuong, Dong Hoi, Dong Suong, Khe Phat, Quang To, Quon Lang, Vinh.
 
Both terrains impose start dates on this list of airfields that became operational only after Rolling Thunder. Until the start date for each airfield, the runways will not appear. All the other buildings in those target areas, however, will appear, being labeled "barracks areas."
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
8. Environment Notes
 
For this expansion pack we have implemented several well known terrain and environment mods:
 
- Brain32's SEA Tile Repaint
- CA_Stary's Green Hell 2
- Pappa Goats re-painted versions of the SEA tiles from Brain32/CA_Stary
- Cellinsky's WideSky (with alternate cloud layer BMPs)
 
Given that players may have different needs and preferences, depending on their systems and aesthetic inclinations, we have have included a number of files that can be used to tweak the look and performance of these mods.
 
A. Terrains - Trees
 
You will notice several sub-directories in each of the main terrain directories in your WOV Install Dir. These contain alternate files that can be used to control the size and complexity of the trees used in the terrains.
 
Tree Complexity/Detail
 
The three "Detail" folders contain files to control the complexity and detail level of the trees. From the ReadMe for "Green Hell 2":
 
Now you'll notice three folders: High Detail, Medium detail and Low Detail. These
contain, well, three versions of the mod. Level of detail corresponds to "tree cluster"
mesh complexity, NOT the number of trees!
 
- High detail are the "X-type with base" and "X-type" trees, which look
best from high angles,
- Medium detail are the "X-type" trees, more cartoonish from top view
- Low detail are the "fence-type" trees, less buildings in cities
 
Generally try the Medium first, if you have low framerates, try Low, if you have decent
system go ahead and try High, there isn't much difference between high and medium in
performance hit. And read the section 5 about tips to control draw distance!
 
By default both terrains use "High Detail." To switch to a lower level of detail, simply copy of the files from the appropriate "Detail" sub-directory to the main terrain directory that you wish to modify, overwriting as prompted.
 
Tree Size
 
By default both terrains use the standard "Green Hell 2" trees. Some users may prefer to use Bananimal's "Re-scaled Trees for Green Hell 2," which are smaller and more realistically sized than the original, larger trees, however.
 
You can find copies of both tree sets (large and small) in the last two sub-directories in each terrain. Again, to install, simply copy the files from the appropriate sub-directory to the main terrain directory that you wish to change, overwriting as prompted.
 
B. Terrains - Air Bases
 
We were dissatisfied with the default air base tiles used by WOV -- those neat, nicely mown squares of green -- not only because they stood out like sore thumbs on the terrain, but also because they took up so much real estate (a precious commodity around Hanoi, which is surround by five air bases). So we developed alternate air base tiles by tweaking several of the default tiles from Brain32 and CA_Stary. These tiles are installed by default with the Expansion Pack.
 
Although we think the new air base tiles look much better (and more realistic), we understand that some users may prefer the original air base tiles from Brain32 and CA_Stary. If you would like to restore the "old" air base tiles, copy the two .BMP files from the \ABs_Old sub-directory in each terrain folder to the main terrain folder for North and South Vietnam, overwriting as prompted. To restore the "new" air base tiles, simply copy the .BMP files from the \ABs_New sub-directory in each terrain to the main terrain folder.
 
C. Terrains - Alternate Tiles
 
By default this expansion pack installs Pappa Goat's re-painted versions of the Brain32/Green Hell 2 tiles. If you would prefer to use the original tiles by Brain32 and CA_Stary (Green Hell 2) -- which are characterized by a lighter, more blue-ish tint -- you can install those original tiles from the \Optional\GH2_Alt directory.
 
To install, simply copy all the .BMP and .TGA files from top level of the \Optional\GH2_Alt directory to the following locations, overwriting files as prompted:
 
[WOV Install Dir]\Terrain\VetnamSEA
[WOV Install Dir]\Terrain\SouthVietnam
 
The sub-directories of \Optional\GH2_Alt contain alternate air base tiles and differently sized trees that you can also use to tweak the terrains' appearance to your liking. The \_wov200x sub-dirs contain alternate terrain DATA.INIs for WOV 2006 and 2008 that advanced users can mine for alternate terrain graphic settings.
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
9. Colors of AAA/Flak Tracers
 
This update makes changes to the colors of tracers used with AAA/flak guns. As the new default colors may not suit some players, the table below can be used to adjust the colored tracers to personal preferences:
 
Gun TGA File Color
--- -------- -----
12MM_DSHK tracer6.tga orange
14MM_KPV tracer6.tga orange
23MM_ZU23/T tracer2.tga green
23MM_AZP23 tracer2.tga green
37MM_ZP39T tracer4.tga red (solid)
57MM_S68T tracer7.tga purple (solid)
n/a tracer.tga orange/yellow
n/a tracer3.tga yellow
n/a tracer5.tga green (solid)
n/a tracer6.tga orange/red
 
The easiest way to adjust the color of tracers for AAA/flak guns is to modify the tracer TGAs in the \Objects directory of your WoV install directory (as opposed to editing the guns themselves). To change the color of particular tracer, simply rename the existing TGA file to something else, then copy the tracer TGA for the color you want and rename the copy to match the original name of the tracer TGA that you renamed.
 
For example, if you wanted to change the color of the purple tracer used with the 57MM_S68T gun to red, you would:
 
1. Rename TRACER7.TGA to TRACER7-OLD.TGA
 
2. Make a copy of TRACER4.TGA
 
3. Rename the copy of TRACER4.TGA to TRACER7.TGA
 
It's that simple. Note that in some cases two guns use the same tracer TGA, so changing the tracer color using the method outlined above will affect both guns that use that TGA.

12. A Note on the KC-135A Tanker
 
Dave at CombatAce.com has generously allowed us to include bpao's KC-135A Stratotanker, which originally appeared in the NATO Fighters 4+ mod package for SF2. Bpao was the heart of The Mirage Factory, and we are very fortunate to have been given permission to ship this high quality aircraft as part of the Expansion Pack. Needless to say, bpao's KC-135A may not be re-distributed outside of NF4+ or the SF2V/WOV Expansion Pack without Dave's explicit permission. The NF4+ all-inclusive mod for SF2V may be downloaded at CombatAce:

The installation process has two phases: one for all patch levels; a second for the Aug. 2006 patch level. Here's how to apply this update package:
 
1. Ensure that WOV is properly installed and patched to either the 8.30.2006 or 10.20.2008 level.
 
2. Ensure that the Expansion Pack v. 1.1 (Mar. 2010) is installed to your WOV Installation Directory and that the latest update for the Expansion Pack is applied.
 
3. Unpack WOV_AG-XP_VPAF.7z to a safe place on your drive.
 
4. Open the \All_Patch_Levels directory. Drag and drop all the files and folders from within the \To_Install_Dir to your WOV Install Dir, overwriting as prompted.
 
If you are running WOV at the Oct. 2008 patch level, then your installation process is finished. If you are running at the Aug. 2006 patch level, then you have one last step.
 
5. If you are running the Aug. 2006 patch level, then open the \Aug_2006_Patch directory. Drag and drop all the files and folders from within the \To_Install_Dir to your WOV Install Dir, overwriting as prompted.
 
That's it. You should be good to go.

"Wings Over Vietnam: Air and Ground Expansion Pack - GOLD"
 
by
 
eburger68 and malibu43
 
V1.1 Final (Gold - Updated)
03.01.10
 
This is the third of three parts.

------------------------------------------
WoV A&G Expansion Pack: New Terrain Items
for Older Expansion Pack Installations
------------------------------------------
 
This package contains an updated set of terrain files for users of the WoV Expansion Pack who installed the original Expansion Pack distribution from December 2009 and all the subsequent updates through the "Feb. 2010 Refresh." It was created to bring older Expansion Pack installations current with the "updated" Expansion Pack files that were released early March 2010 without forcing users to download the complete set of "updated" installation files.
 
- If you downloaded and installed the Dec. 2009 version of the Expansion Pack and also installed the "Feb. 2010 Refresh," then this update package is for you.
 
- If you downloaded and installed the Dec. 2009 version of the Expansion Pack but did NOT install the "Feb. 2010 Refresh," then you can upgrade to the most current version of the Expansion Pack *only* by downloading the complete, updated set of installation files. You can find the three part set of updated Expansion Pack installation files here:
 
Part 1:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=10281
 
Part 2:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=10282
 
Part 3:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=10300
 
- If you downloaded and installed the WoV Expansion Pack on or after 3 March 2010, then this update package is NOT for you -- the "updated" Expansion Pack files from March 2010 already contain all the files from this update.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
To install this update, simply copy the contents of the \To_Install_Dir directory to your WoV Installation Directory. In other words, drag and drop the \Terrain folder to your WoV Installation Directory, overwriting as prompted.
 
That's it. You should be good to go.

For SFP1/Gold and SF2.
 
Final version of this campaign. Tested in SFP1 but did a quick CTD check in SF-2 and it seemed OK. Not sure if the "All In" concept is a good way to go with campaigns. Probably better to have some re-supply to generate more variety. This is a simple campaign using stock aircraft but it's quite easy to modify campaigns with different dates and aircraft so check out the CombatAce knowledge base for more info. To run this you will need either the original Desert Target Zone, available here, or the SF2 version here.
 
Player flyable aircraft are the F-4b[Marines], A-4C[Marines], A-4b[Dhimari Foreign Air Legion, aka MERC] or the F-100D[MERC also]. Non flyables are the MiG-19S, MiG-21F, MiG-17F and SU-7BM for Paran.
 
MAIN FEATURES: Easy Install, Real time missions possible in about 30 minutes, and quite a bit of mayhem in a small area!
 
ISSUES:
Frame Rates: You will probably have to reduce your usual graphics settings.
Mercs: I haven't enabled the money feature but some instructions included if you want to try it out.
Front Line: I noticed a corrupted front line during the quick SF-2 check but it went away after a couple of missions.
 
CAMPAIGN SCENARIO: With increasing oil wealth, the Empire of Paran has been purchasing increasing amounts of Soviet made tanks and aircraft. The Kingdom of Dhimar has been slow to respond. The Royal Dhimari Air Force has mercenary [Dhimari Foreign Air Legion] as well as regular force pilots. The DFAL has one squadron of F-100's and one of A-4B's. The regular force has two squadrons of F-100's.
Shah Komar believes the time to attack is now. His main concern is the U.S./Dhimar defence pact of 1943. Since that time the U.S.A. has kept a permanent air contingent in Dhimar. Presently, that task is being carried out by the United States Marine Corps. To neutralize the U.S. threat, Shah Komar has struck a back room deal with the Soviets. They will blockade the Gulf of Paran, claiming to the world that it is to "contain" the conflict. Surrounding countries will be threatened with attack by Paran if they allow resupply flights. No replacement tanks, no replacement aircraft, both countries are "All In!".
 
WAIVERS: You can do what you like with this file on a freeware basis.

Super Why! Mod authored by FastCargo
 
********** Version 0.9 Beta ***********
 
Be advised, this is a complete modification to Strike Fighters:Project 1 or Strike Fighters Gold (SFP1 or SFG). It has NOT been tested with Wings Over Vietnam, Wings Over Europe or Wings over Israel (WOV,WOE,WOI), but it should work with them. It is meant to be a 'stand alone' mod, and as such is not guaranteed to be compatible with any additional mods or changes. Using anything from this mod, or adding anything to this mod, may 'break' the mod or the mod you are transferring stuff to.
 
In short, use it as a stand alone mod and don't screw with it!

*************Notes************
 
After the startup video, the main screen should be fairly easy to navigate. The center lets you 'fly', the door is to exit, and the computer is the options screen. Basically, the menu simply restricts you to fly Instant Action only...there are no other options available.
 
The flying itself consists of flying Super Why around the sky, looking for clouds with various words at the top. You can 'shoot' the clouds, which will then fade away. That's pretty much it...there is no 'score' per se.
 
The Options screen is the stock SFP1 screen, however, I'm pretty sure most of the Gameplay options are disabled. You can try to mess with them, but the effect may be unpredictable.
 
The genesis of this project was noticing how my young (at the time) autistic son liked Super Why (a kid's show that encourages reading), airplanes, and technology. So I thought how I could adapt a combat sim into a kid's sim. The problem was my son outgrew the speed I was working on the project...by the time I got it to a state of playability...he no longer needed it. So it has been hanging on my hard drive.
 
It is a pretty good mod at this state, but is kind of boring, since there are no debrief screens, and not much happens other than flying around, reading and 'shooting' clouds. There are things that could be done to make it more complete, but time has erased the need, and the engine has moved on. It's uploaded here for anyone to use or build on for their kids.
 
Enjoy!

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

Su-17:http: http://www.column5.us/aircraft6.shtml
A-6E TRAM: http://www.column5.us/aircraft.shtml
 
You MUST do this because the loadout.ini's that come with the Desert Storm pack are modified. Replacing them by the originals, I am sure they will work properly with the latest weapons pack.
 
 
Thanks to all those who have contributed to make the fantastic Desert Storm pack. These missions are possible
because of the terrains they created, aircrafts, skins, etc. THANK YOU!!!!
 
I hope you like it. Problems, questions, suggestions, just send a PM. Semper fi!!!
