  2. F-4E-35 with long gun muzzle (MIDAS IV mod)

    Mod for the F-4E-35 with long gun muzzle (MIDAS IV mod) from 1971-72:
     
    This is a small mod to the F-4E-35 Phantom II (available for download here at CombatAce:
     
    http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=1020
     
    This version is correct for a Vietnam-era unslatted F-4E model and is a must-have, whereas the F-4E as presented in Wings Over Vietnam has slatted wings (a post-Vietnam modification).
     
    During 1971-72 the USAF F-4Es in Southeast Asia were modified with the MIDAS IV extended muzzle for the plane's M61 20mm Vulcan cannon. This presumably helped the issue of ingesting muzzle gases into the engines during the firing of the weapon.
     
    I have enclosed the stock F-4E-35 data.ini modified to include the enclosed long gun part. (In my own install I duplicated the entire F-4E-35 by renaming the folder, aircraft.ini and data.ini files all to "F-4E-35LG" and in the F-4E-35LG.ini I renamed the AircraftFullName= to "F-4E long gun").
     
    Drop the .LOD file loose into your aircraft folder.
     
    My thanks to Dave and the rest of the team which brought you the original F-4E-35 package, and for allowing me to release their original data.ini file with the text entries to allow the long gun to appear.

  3. CH Fighter Stick config for auto door operations on the F-22 and F-35

    CH FIGHTER STICK CONFIGURED FOR AUTOMATIC DOOR OPERATIONS FOR THE F-22A, F-22A_B20, AND THE F-35A WITH CORRECT WEAPON DEPLOYMENT;NOMENCLATURE AND OPERATIONS FOR THE CH FIGHTER STICK AND PRO THROTTLE;NEW WEAPON DATA FOR AIM-9X AND AIM-120C
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     
    This mod is for both any SF series sim and for the CH Fighter Stick and Pro Throttle. What this mod does takes full advantage of the unique controller programing capabilites of the CH Fighter Stick and Pro
    Throttle operations to allow a more imerssive experience of the F-22 and F-35. NOTE: this might not work with any other CH controls and will most definately not work with any other controls that are not by
    CH. So if you downloaded this in hopes that it will give you automatic doors for the F-22 and F-35 with your own game controllers, I appologize in misleading you for that.

    CHANGES TO THE F-22A, F-22A_B20, THE F-35A AND INSTALLATION
     
    *CHANGES
    The changes that I made to these aircrafts was changing the attachment type in the weapons bay from internal to external. This was done so that the new Aim-9X and Aim-120C (which will be explained further)
    will operate and deploy correctly from the weapons bay. Setting the attachment type from internal to external allows the Aim-9X can to track a target while inside the weapons bay. The opening time for the
    weapon bay doors on both F-22s have been speed-up by 50%. NOTE: Only the Aim-9X and Aim-120C have been adapated for these changes. Other weapons may not deploy correctly.
     
    *INSTALLATION
    First, back-up your original F-22A, F-22A_B20, and F-35A folders. Then drag the .rar folders of the F-22A, F-22A_B20, and F-35A into your Aircraft folder. This will overwrite the original data.ini and
    loadout.ini files of these aircrafts in your Aircraft folder.
     
    ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................
    NEW WEAPON DATA FOR THE AIM-9X AND AIM-120C AND INSTALLATION
     
    *NEW WEAPON DATA
    The changes that I made to these aircrafts was adding them as a new weapon: AIM-9X (INTERNAL) and AIM-120C (INTERNAL). Both missiles have a delay release of 1 second and a booster start delay of 1 second for
    the Aim-9X and 2 seconds for the Aim-120C. This allows both missiles to clear the weapons bay before being released and engaging the boosters. Time from when pushing the pickle button to booster ignition is
    about 2.5 seconds for the Aim-9X and about 3.5 seconds for the Aim-120C. The extra half second is due to the command time to engage each action of opening the weapon bay and launching the weapons. After the
    weapon has launched, the weapon bay doors will close on their own.
     
    *INSTALLATION
    At the bottom of this readme is two weapons data. Copy and paste this data into your WEAPONDATA.ini file as the last entry. Then under the heading [WeaponData2109] and [WeaponData2110], change the numeical
    values to the appropriate corresponding order (which ever value they come after from the previous weapon in the WEAPONDATA.ini file).

    NOMENCLATURE AND OPERATIONS OF THE CH FIGHTER STICK, PRO THROTTLE, AND INSTALLATION
     
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    NOMENCLATURE AND OPERATIONS OF THE MODE SELECTOR, TRIGGER, AND PICKLE BUTTONS OF THE CH FIGHTER STICK
     
    The pickle button has been assigned to not only fire the selected weapon, but to operate the bay doors to open and close with a
    single push of the button. I've implemented a sort of "master arm" button by using the mode selection button on the top right of the Fighter Stick. In Mode-1 (indicated by the green light on the base
    platform of the Fighter Stick), both the pickle button and the trigger have been disabled to prevent any accidental firing of both the weapons and the guns to take place. In Mode-2 (indicated by the red
    light on the base of the platform of the Fighter Stick), the "master arm" is on, the selected weapons can fire by use of the pickle button (which fires the weapon, at 0.5 seconds after that command ,it opens
    the weapon bay door, and then closes the weapon bay doors after the missile has engaged it's boosters and cleared the area in only one push of the button), but the trigger is disabled to prevent any
    accidental firing of the gun. In Mode-3 (indicated by the yellow light on the base of the platform of the Fighter Stick), the "master arm" is on, the trigger can fire the guns, but the pickle button has
    been disabled to prevent any accidental firing of the guns. In order to use Mode-2 and 3, you must first go through Mode-1. This does not mean that if you accidentally start a mission in either Mode-2 or 3
    you can not disable the pickle or trigger buttons. All you need to do is to go to Mode-1 from Mode-2 or 3 first, then you can access the pickle and trigger buttons.
     
    ...............................................................................................................................................................................................................
    NOMENCLATURE OF ALL OTHER SWITHCES BUTTONS OF THE CH FIGHTER STICK (WORKS IN ALL MODES)

  5. Mig29G and Su27SK/China J11 modified FM


    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.

  8. A-12 Avenger II Lights (How to add to the data.ini)

    You will find the few lines you have to add to the A-12_DATA.ini for navigation and landing lights.
     
    You will have to add the lines yourself ; it's not practical but the data.ini may have been modified already.
    Just copy the lines and don't forget to change the XXX to the accurate number.
     
    Modify this file as you wish, but don't use it for any payware!

  9. Improved Su27SK flight model for Marcfighter Su27sk/China J11

    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.

    fixes are skin loadout weapon positions made sure model match , it is a complete fix
     
    what u will need - sfp1 ptached latest get it at thirdwire the big weapon pack 2.5
     
    aircraft designed as plug and play , u might need to run weapons through the editor once only and save it.
     
    the current package had many errors see which one you like and finally enjoy

  12. Joystick controlled Thrust vectoring.

    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.

  13. Rudimentary VASI for WOV

    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.
    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

    /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
    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.
