Korean War Mod Update

By Edward

Here is the Korean Air War Mod Terrain and Campaign Update.

My thanks go to TK for such a great sim, FNG2k for his groundbreaking work in this area, and especially Charles, Capun and Gramps (the A-Team) for all their help and support.

This is a redone Korea Terrain and Campaign V2.0. I used all new tiles plus got rid of all those "sea mountains"and fixed the water and runways to give them a more 1950's look.

Special thanks to Polak for his water mod, which I have adapted for this terrain. I stongly recommend you download and use Polak's sky mod with this terrain as well.

Installation

1. Delete your old Korea Folder in the Terrain Folder and replace it with this new one.

2. Delete the old Korean War Folder in the Campaign Folder and replace it with this one.

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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. New Terrain Targets & Targets Areas

This expansion pack adds dozens of new targets and target areas to the North & South Vietnam terrains. In addition to adding a dozen new bridges to the NVN terrain, we've added the following target areas:

- Thai Nguyen Thermal Power Plant
- Hanoi Thermal Power Plant

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.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10. Legal Stuff

We have signed onto the freeware "list" on combatace.com. As such, the work here can be included or used in other mods as along as they aren't payware and credit is given to the creator(s).

Thanks,

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:

Vietnam 1984 1.1

By MK2

Everything you need is in this 215MB file.

*******YOU MUST INSTALL EACH FOLDER INDIVIDUALLY. BE SURE TO CHECK THAT THE OBJECTS FOLDER INSTALLED PROPERLY WITH THE SUB FOLDERS and files. THE OBJECTS FOLDER INCLUDES THE AIRCRAFT FOLDER, WEAPONS FOLDER AND 5 OTHER FILES. SOME AIRCRAFT MIGHT NOT SHOW UP IF YOU SIMPLY SLIDE IN THE OBJECTS FOLDER, BE SURE TO CHECK THE ZIP FILE IF YOU HAVE ISSUES, THEY ARE ALL THERE, INSTALL EACH AIRCRAFT INDIVIDUALLY IF YOU ECOUNTER ISSUES. *******

*******Make sure to double check all aircraft installed (as an exmaple the MIG-21MF can fool you as it is already part of the regular WOV install, make sure the MIG-21MF inlcuded in the zip file installs properly ETC)*******

Vietnam 1984:
The Vietnam War ended in a stalemate a decade ago. North Vietnam has taken the opportunity, of the prolonged cease fire, to build up its ground and air forces.
The Soviet Union has recently taken an active role in mobilizing fighter regiments for the VPAF and the potential of the Soviet union adding actual ground troops to the area is now a reality.
The uneasy temporary peace comes to an end. The Reagan administration Withdraws the United States from the decade long diplomatic process. On December 18th 1984 the coalition starts a 2 week air offensive against North Vietnamese targets.

To install the mod simply place the folders that are inside the zip file in your WOV directory and say yes to overwrite the files.

Campaign Contributors:

MK2:campaign mod designer ,Pilot Photos, Music and sound file, cockpit repaints.

Kout : In game screens

Wrench: Hangar screens

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

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.

WOE:BC Berlin Crisis

By KingAlbert

This is my first campaign that I developped for Wings over Europe.

Background Story
############

The campaign is set in an alternative history, where the Berlin Wall did not fall on November 9, 1989. Instead East-Germans trying to pass to the west were gunned down by East-German and Soviet border guards. In the following months the Soviets intervene to suppress a popular uprising in East-Germany. Unfortunately a small skirmish between US marines and Soviet/East-German troops in Berlin provides the spark for the third world war. The Soviets, in their effort to get rid of the pesky capitalist island in their midst, decide to capture West-Berlin. Realizing that this will provoke a retaliation from NATO, the Soviets decide to attack West-Germany straight away.

As a NATO pilot, you will fend off the Soviet invasion. The campaign itself only lasts 30 days, since NATO troops should survive for about 3 weeks until the first convoys from the US would arrive.

Installation Instructions:
################

You have the choice of following an extended readme (26 pages) or a shortened readme with only the required links. The installation file also contains several modified ini's, hangar and loading screens.

The extended readme will show you were you can download the files and how they have to be installed.

Since this is my first campaign any feedback is more then welcome.

WOE:BC Version 1.0
#############

With this version you get the campaign with all the required aircraft and ground objects. The groundwar uses the default campaign from WOE. It's my intention to customise and extend this campaign with future patches, but with the current file s and downloads you can already take to the skies and fight the Soviets.

Aircrafts you can fly in this campaign
########################

● F-15C Eagle
● F-16C Fighting Falcon
● F-4G Phantom
● A-10A Thunderbolt
● F-111E Aardvark
● A-7D Corsair
● F-4D Phantom
● F-4E Phantom
● Tornado Gr1A
● Tornado Gr1
● Harrier Gr3
