Rudimentary "Visual Approach Slope Indicator" mod by Ryder7 for WoV sfp1. beta version.
This mod adds a somewhat "VASI" light system to all WOV runways.
I wish I could rotate the lights verticaly so I might have been able to duplicate a proper VASI and/or PAPI light systems, meaning that some lights would only show up above glide slope whereas others would only show up below glide slope, but since I could only rotate lights horizontally, I had to try something less realistic, but somewhat working and very simple in fact:
In my system, you have two sets of lights, yellow ones are close to your estimated landing point, whereas red ones are located 400 meters before and 20.96 metres higher, so they look perfectly on line when you look at them from a 3 degres slope angle... Well, if my trigonometry is not wrong, school was a long time ago I'm affraid.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Plane
* Red light
o Yellow light
Runway _____________________________________________
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
If above glide slope, you 'll see yellow lights above red ones: °° °°
** **
If below glide slope, you 'll see yellow lights below red ones: ** **
°° °°
If ON a 3degres glide slope, you 'll see the lights on line : **° °**
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Additionally, I put two sets of each lights, one left, one right on both runway headings, which provides you both alignment and glide slope visuals for low visibility situations, making it some sort of rudimentary not super accurate but better than nothing alternative for no ILS system in those games.
//
Limitations:
-On night landing, those lights may look blurry and somewhat mixed with already existing runway lights at certain distances.
-The closer you come to the runway, the less accurate this system becomes so you'll have to rely on your training for those last feet/meters before touchdown. This actually looks a bit like a real ILS antenna thing BTW.
-On some cockpits and/or some aircrafts it may be difficult to see the lights while maintaining proper AOA/attitude/descent rate. (internal views only)
-Also, depending on your display settigns, you may want to zoom the cockpit POV at its max level (F3 or F4 keys) in order to see those lights, but this makes it more difficult to watch your instruments in the same time.
Well, this is not perfect, but I hope you'll give this mod a try and have as much fun landing with it than I got from making and testing it. I wish again it was possible to rotate vertically those runway lights, and also I wasn't able to add light to the carrier, it would have been fun to add some sort of "meatball-OLS" for carrier ops. Hopefully, more talented modders than I may come with solutions.
Personal notes and thanks:
This was my first mod ever published for those games whereas i spent so much time playing and messing with mods years ago. I moved for Falcon BMS that is incredible, but having less spare time for flight sims and homepits, I found back my WOV copy for quick and dirty gameplay with the cheapest joystick, and found myself having just as much fun with it as I did before. I just love those Thirdwire early jets and cold war era atmosphere, and one can learn basics, or come back to these games and try to play with more "realistic" procedures. Well, thanks to thirdwire, CombatAce, and the whole community for years of fun, hope my humble contribution will add to the pack.
Cheers,
Ryder7 from France.
P.S.: Feel free to upgrade this mod at will, just give credits and no commercial use please. :)
Edit: Forgot to add proper installation instructions:
1.backup your Airfields.ini.
2.Drop the content of the zip onto your ...Wings Over Vietnam/ game directory.
3. That's it. To uninstall, just remove those files and you'll be back with vanilla packed .inis, or replace with your backup ones if already modded.

This is simple edit for VIEWLIST.INI thats allow to more zoom and make the fly-by camera zoomable.
Put in your "Flight" folder, backup first!!
Tested in WOE.
*Optional: i recommend to eliminate the color cones because when the zoom is too big the cones also makes bigger and at the max zoom him blocks the visual, you can make this editing some lines in HUDData.ini in same folder.
Find the line
ConeModelName=xxxxxxxxx
and erase the value to look like this
ConeModelName=
Thats all.
Sorry for my english.

This is a mod for better F-14 afterburners. The ones featured are from the F-16XL. They look a little more realistic, to me at least.
Please read the readme. Enjoy!
By cgold596 1 -
I noticed many of the afterburner effects in my original "Afterburner Buffet" pack didn't work properly after the latest patches,, i sorted through them & made a revised pack for your flaming enjoyment...
All have been tested and seem to work fine...
If any problems,,let me know..i'll do my best to help...
Thanks to Deuces & RussoUK for help with the afterburner effects...

File DATA of florian SeaKing, adapted for Mi-24P.
Credit By Florian SH-3 SeaKing
By Marcfighter320 7 -
This is yet another iteration of the Mi-24P data.ini Hind-F uploaded by Orsin.
It is based almost exclusively on Gepard's Mi-24D Dora data.ini work. So all credit accrues to him.
On HARD settings the gunship has a tendency to porpoise at speeds in excess of 140Kts.
Simply copy-paste into your Mi-24P folder.
Good Hunting Boys.

This is a improved flight model based on Kreelin's v1.5 su27sk flight model for WOI. And it is designed for Marcfighter's Su27sk and China J11. It should work well also on Su27 if the node names are correct.
The new version is desinged for Wox Oct 2008 patch level. It took me almost a whole week to tweak the bits and pieces of this flight model and now it feels right in both hard and normal setting. Meanwhile AI can handle this very well against any 2nd and 3rd Gen fighters.
Compare to the old flight model that was included in the mig29/su27 flight model pack, this one feels real.
It should not take too much effort to convert it to SF2 standard as I took many data from SF2i inis to this one. I hope someone can help with it.
=====================
please note:
the original build-in ECM has been replaced by L005 ECM on additional pylons, that is why there is an additional loadout file prepared for you..
how to:
extract both files to your su-27sk folder and replace the old ones. backup as needed.
=====================
Feel free to use or modify this flight model as long as it is not for commercial purpose.

This is a little tool to enable you to refuel your aircraft.
How to use it ?
1- BACKUP the DATA.ini file
2- Launch the exe and select the DATA.ini to patch
3- Check the tanker type to use with a/c (Boom or Drogue). (Boom = 3000lb/mins, Drogue= 1000lb/mins)
4- Apply the patch. That's it.
5- Use your Thrust Vector Key to add fuel
Know issues:
- The system is based on a "fake" engine. When refueling, you will have the AB sound (no extra thrust) activated on your plane.
- Only player a/c will be refueled
- You cannot apply the patch to any a/c using TV key...
- You can refuel at any time
As usual, use it at your onw risk. I'm not resonsible of any bad thing that could happened on your PC by using it ;-). This tool cannot be add to a commercial stuff without my premission.
Thanks to STORM and Bpao for Betatesting
Enjoy

REMINDER
Be sure to back up your excisting aircraftobject.ini, countermeasureobject.ini, debrisobject.ini, and shellobject.ini files in case there is a problem with these files and or you dont like them, so you can
revert back to the originals.
I did this after I noticed that after 3 seconds or so, everything in the game *drop tanks, pieces of planes, flares and whatnot* disappears. So I edited the files listed above to try to make everything
that falls from the plane, or anything type of countermeasure fall til it hits the ground. So now when you shoot down a plane, or use flares and chaff, it should all fall to the ground before disappear. Now you can watch as every piece of your enemy falls back to the earth. I tried to make it so that more pieces came off, or add more debris from lanes or ground targets. I'll try to work on it and get it tuned up a bit more so that you get mor parts raining down to the ground. and also try to make the flares rate of decent alot less than it is now so it acts more like the real thing. eitherway, have fun.
Installation
Just copy these files and paste them in your objects folder. Make sure you back up you original files these replace incase you dont like these, or if you want to reuse the originals.
Once added, test them out and see if the parts from the planes you shoot down, or the drop tanks or counter measures fall all the way to the ground. Im gonna try to work on this a bit more and try to add even more debris the next time. Anywho, have fun

This is an alternate file for the Mirage IV A previously released by Veltro2K.
Credit goes to him : )
The original 3D model is not available anymore!!!
so => Don't download this file
...unless you're a dinosaur and already have the damn LOD
First, back up the original data file
then, read the readme
This is an updated file, better than the previous one (lol)
- Landing gears and fuel tanks are almost ok.
- New flight model, tested on WOE 06 & 08.
Freeware only, not to be sold in any way!

so you were clamoring to fly planes with thrust vector.
so you are frustrated you cant have thrust vector control for pitch control..
now all you need is a joystick.

Credits to Marcfighter and Lindr2 for their excellent work on the original FMs
1. SU-27SK/China J11 FM modified based on Marcfighter's original model
It has been a quite disappointment to see little discussion about the performance issue of Marcfighter's SU27SK after 2008 patch of WOX series. I doubt if there is still anyone other than me playing su27 nowadays.
The issue is quite apparent - under hard mode, su-27 has too much maneuvability that makes AI players run this bird into endless cobra-like movements in aircombat, which is an obviously unsustainable way leading to eventual disadvantage in dogfights due to low energy. The FM is also not stable in yaw leading to uncontrollable rolls at high AoA. When we "human" controlling this bird, it is also likely to have a blackout every 2 seconds.
So there is where I start tinkering - beat the trend to run into high AoA, while also maintain an overall agility. In this model, You find a much less effective stabilizer, it has smaller angle, and faster rotating speed. The aileron is also modifed to synchronize the motion of rotating. Drag is also modified to fit this change.
The test drive shows quite a good result - slightly better than the stock F15A, while enable AI play to maintain its energy. I play a few 12 x Su27 vs 16 F15+8 F4 case under hard/hard setting and had the chance to win out in all the case.
2. Mig 29G FM based on Lindr2's recent release of Mig 29 BM FM.
First I would like to thank Lindr2 for presenting us his serious Mig 29 BM FM, which is based on real data from russian/soviet references. As such I don;t have to modify most parts of this FM. most of my change focused on beating the trend to rotate back at x-horizon at low speed (IAS < 350kmh). A minor change also fix the problem that the model rotate the aileron and stabilizer at the wrong direction.
The overall outcome is also pleasing. The modified FM gives you a 50/50 chance to beat the stock F16 in WOI, hard mode. AI also run it well and can fight F18 at close to 1:1 shotdown ratio.

This Mod changes the default formation around so that when you're a two ship, #2 is correctly on the right side of you. It also puts him out there a little bit in more of a cruise type formation, not too close.
Other formation changes are to wall and box formations, making them more useful. You will want to put your flight into one of these two formations in the high threat areas to maximize maneuvering and lookout potential.
Wall formation is a "loose deuce" formation for the two ship (section) and line abreast for the four ship (division). Spacing is about half a mile between planes. This is technically too close, but the spirit is there, and also most of the usefulness, without you losing sight of #4 completely.
Box is now a staggered trail formation with lead and #2 in loose deuce and #3 & #4 behind the lead section about a mile, offset to the right. Enemies who see and attack the lead section will turn in front of the trail section.
I added two formations, replacing "arrowhead" (useless anyway) and the "turn radar on" command with "High cover" and "Right Echelon", respectively. Readme for more details.
For those of you who downloaded version 1.0, please download this one and replace it. The added commands weren't referencing correctly.
Thanks to Drdoyo for getting me started.

This is my version of airfield approach lights for SF1 series. I gathered already existing airfield approach lights from http://combatace.com/files/file/1866-runway-approach-lights/ uploaded by HrntFixr and from http://combatace.com/files/file/1866-false/uploaded by the same Submitter (no modifications were made with his work, just changing the time of lights on and off), and mixed them with German airbases, Soviet airbases, Desert airfields and VietnamSEA airfields. I made small edits with time the lights are on and off and now a compromise was found between the time the lights are switched on and off: now the lights are switched on after 4.00 PM and off after 8.00 AM, that was done for having the lights always on in the inclement weather, the lights are on 24 hours in the inclement weather so now it is not difficult to find the airfield and land in the inclement weather. The images show the airfield approach lights at their finest! I specially uploaded many screenshots with various aircrafts to show how these lights transform and make more realistic the overall picture of this fantastic game!
These are complete airfields inis - no need to change anything inside the same, just copy and paste into your terrains. Backup your airfield inis before you drop these ones if you do not like them and do not want to use anymore. Hope you will like it!
This is my first work I share with gamers of this fantastic game! J
Backup your airfield inis in your terrains before installation. Just drop these inis into your terrains. Be careful that each terrain has own specific airfield inis: German and Soviet airbases for GermanCE, Black Sea, Kamchatka terrains etc., Desert airfields for IsraelME, Libya terrains etc., VietnamSEA airfield for DRV. Probably it will be compatible with SF2 series terrains as well.
Please try yourselves.

First Eagles Medals Pack v1.0
===================
This is an add-on for Third Wire's WWI flight sim, First Eagles ("FE"). The stock FE has a number of limitations on the award of medals (there were only a few medals for each air service, and they could only be won once). This meant that after a short time in service, any pilot you had created in FE could not win any more medals, no matter how successful a mission you flew. I wanted to change that, to provide more medals, and so that a successful mission will bring a medal, even if you have previously won that medal. This package will work with either the stock FE, or FE with the Expansion Pack installed.
The medals which will now be available in FE are as follows:
British medals (Royal Air Force and Australian Flying Corps):
Victoria Cross
Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG)
Knight Commander of the British Empire (KBE)
Distinguished Service Order
Military Cross
Distinguished Flying Cross
Military Medal
Victory Medal
Silver War Badge
Croix de Guerre
French medals (French Aéronautique Militaire):
Legion of Honor (Légion d'Honneur)
Military Medal (Medaille Militaire)
War Cross (Croix de Guerre)
Combatant's Cross (Croix du Combattant)
Verdun Medal
Wounded Medal (Insigne du Blessé Militaire)
German medals (Imperial German Army Air Service):
Pour le Merite (Blue Max)
Order of the Red Eagle
Royal Order of Hohenzollern
Iron Cross 1st Class
Iron Cross 2nd Class
Military Merit Cross
War Merit Medal
Wound Badge
US medals (US Air Service):
Medal of Honor
Distinguished Service Medal
Distinguished Service Cross
Citation Star
Victory Medal
Purple Heart
Croix de Guerre

I did this work hoping to motivate people to present a re-worked F-16C cockpit.
This mod enables WOI users to enjoy their MF F-16As with the stock hi-rez TW cockpit.
The stock TW F-16A in WOI unfortunately lacks TWS capability (Note: Apparently I was wrong, it was indeed without TWS in the very first batches), while MF F-16As lacked ground map capability due to a mixture of avionics60 lines in an avionics70dll file (Note: As I was informed, it was later corrected).
Furthermore, TMF avionics are more representative of Blk1/5/10s, instead TW are a bit stronger, more representative of Blk 15 avionics.
I re-worked the avionics.ini to present something as close to reality as I could, based on the stock WOI cockpit.
V1.1 Changes:
TWS Capability deleted from Blk 10 Avionics
TV Capability restored in Blk 15 Avionics
If you want to use MF TV filter instead of the TW, change this line from
TextureStage[01].TextureName=GreenTVFilter.bmp
;TextureStage[01].TextureName=cockpit\GreenTVFilter.bmp
TextureStage[01].MipMap=FALSE
to
;TextureStage[01].TextureName=GreenTVFilter.bmp
TextureStage[01].TextureName=cockpit\GreenTVFilter.bmp
TextureStage[01].MipMap=TRUE
NOTE: Not 100% sure when Maverick capability was certified for F-16s. It seems to me that it was a retrofit in a later date for Blk1/5/10 aircraft.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Download, extract and place into respective folders. They will overwrite the previous ones. Remember to keep back ups just in case...
2) Change this line
CockpitDataFile=
from
CockpitDataFile=F-16A_cockpit.ini
to
CockpitDataFile=F-16A_NETZ_COCKPIT.ini
NOTE: Do not, I repeat DO NOT delete the already installed cockpit, since I use many TGAs from the MF cockpit. It won't work properly without it.
ADDED BONUS: Modified MF F-16A OCU DATA file with F100-220E engine.
I want to thank TW & MF and every person that contributed to the community.
If an individual deserves credit, please notify me.
REMEMBER THIS IS A FREEWARE!
