Falkland 1982 All-Inclusive MOD

By Kesselbrut

Operaton Corporate

- The Falklands War -

A Strike Fighters Project1 MOD by Daniel”Kesselbrut”Himmel

This is an All-Inclusive MOD of the Falkland War. The MOD contains all major aircrafts and groundunits of the conflict.

All objects in this pack (aircrafts, houses, vehicles, tiles, textures….) are free, but that means they are not freeware. If you want to use something out of the pack for your own MOD please ask for a written permission by me via PM at the combatace forum. I will forward your request to the owner of the model you want to use.

The pack will run without errors on SFP1 and SFP Gold only. At WOV you will need a C-130 otherwise the Game crashes during the campaign. At WOE and WOI it will run only after heavy manual cut and paste work….

Installaton:

Do a clean SFP1 installation
install SP4
rename the folder as "Falkland 1982"

delete missions - folder
delete campaigns - folder
delete /objects/decals - folder
delete /objects/aircraft - folder
delete /objects/groundojects - folder
delete /objects/weapons - folder

copy the unpacked files into your "Falkland 1982" folder

open the \Falkland 1982\Flight\MedalsUK.ini

correct the lines -> Citation=E:\Falkland 1982\Flight\FlightUKMedalVC.txt with your installation-path

open the \Falkland 1982\Flight\MedalsARG.ini

correct the lines -> Citation=E:\Falkland 1982\Flight\FlightUKMedalARG.txt with your installation-path

Notes:

In the Canberra B you can switch between Pilot and Bombadier with "Hook" key

single mission year is 1983 - because the only British base was build in May - if you have
a missiondate before 29th May - the game CTD - self created missions (with mission date) will work normaly - you have to take off from a carrier before 29th May
The infantry units have too much speed - when I use normal Footslogger speed there are no ground battles.

All Groundunits are optimated for the game - so they may not realistic.

All Carriers have zero speed - because they cruise wild through the
ship formations.

During the Campaign the groundunits won't attack - in WOI it all works normal.

The Harrier and SUE have no Groundradar

WOI

I'm currently working at the WOI version, but I have multible problems

- The A-4 flightmodels are cruel
- same for the SUE
- same for the Harriers
- The Canberra Bombbay shows no load
- no Thrust Vectoring
- Carrier take offs mostly accidential (carriers maybe not fully supported)

So a SP5 version of the mod will released 2 months after SP release.

Red Wings Over Dhimar v1.0

By Baltika

RED WINGS OVER DHIMAR

Campaign mod for SFG

by Baltika

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

This is a very simple .ini edit to enable Red-flyable squadrons in the stock Burning Sands campaign for SFG. It is tested only in SFG with the Oct 2008b patch, although it should probably work fine in SFP1 as well, and the level of patch should not really be an issue. It WILL NOT work in WoV/WoE/WoI unless you have the stock desert terrain installed to those games, so be warned.

Of course, I spent a day putting this together and then found the old Red Wings campaign lurking on a back-up of my old SFP1 mods. I can't remember where this was d/led from, and it certainly doesn't seem to be available now (maybe at avsim?).

Anyway, the art of making Red-side flyable campaigns seems to have fallen by the wayside, so it's probably no bad thing that this version be uploaded for all to use. The campaign files will not write over the stock Burning Sands campaign, so don't worry if you have a modded stock campaign, eg with vinman's Burning Sands upgrades.

This is a back-to basics mod.

I run it on

Stock SFG
Patched to October 2008b

No weapons packs or anything else. If you have Bunyap's pack installed, you may beed to edit the supply entries for each flyable air unit (in the campaign_data.ini) to get the correct weapons to show up.

You will need to make the stock MiGs flyable - but if you are d/ling this campaign, you've already done that, right ;-)

If not, you will need to install these pits:-

MiG-19S Pit by ordway
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6519

MiG-17F Pit by ordway
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6469

Su-7BM Pit by Kukulino, modded from boopidoo's Su-15TM pit
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6159

MiG-21F / PF / PFM pit by Paladrian
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=1919

MiG-21MF Pit by Paladrian
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=1745

I STRONGLY ADVISE that you DO NOT use the modded aircraft_DATA.inis supplied with some of these pits - they do not incorporate all the FM and AI tweaks to the stock FMs included with the new patch, so you will be busting your MiG down to a previous version if you do.

Also, I have not included hangar screens or loading screens for the MiGs, but there are such things available if you want to add them in.

I have set up the d/l package so it should be obvious where everything has to go. I have included a new mainscreen and title music, and Badger's Red-side Pilot Record Screen which is definitely Red-side orientated, so do not install the items in the SFG/Menu folder if you want to keep your existing mainscreen and title music.

For that full-on Soviet experince, you may want to go the whole hog and install one of the Soviet comms mods available at CA.

Any questions, give me shout on combatace.

Cheers,

Baltika

NATO Fighters

By Fubar512

Details here:

http://www.column5.us/natof.shtml

The release notes:

Installation
----------------

IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended that you apply this package to a clean installation of Wings Over Europe. Some existing files will be overwritten during the install process! Also, make certain that the 8/30 patch for WOE is installed BEFORE you install NATO Fighters.

Unzip the archive you downloaded above and run nfsetup.exe. You will be prompted for the location to install NATO Fighters. MAKE SURE that this is your clean WOE installation. If you install NATO Fighters over an already modded copy of WOE, it WILL break some or all of the mods.

The NATO Fighters installation is completely automatic. Once the installation is complete, you are ready to play.

Description
-----------------

Thanks for downloading Wings Over Europe: NATO Fighters! This is a collection of some of the best NATO-themed mods released over the past four years for the Strike Fighters series. I think you will find the expansion of flyable aircraft types, the addition of more allied nations, and the inclusion of numerous environment and visual mods to be a great enhancement to your copy of Wings Over Europe. All new aircraft and nations are fully integrated into the three campaigns, and no additional configuration is necessary to enjoy these enhancements after you install.

I must stress that all of the mods included in this pack are already available. This series of expansions simply brings them all together in one place, fully integrates them into the campaigns and makes installation a snap. The goal is not to include every NATO squadron, but a representative selection of units to allow players to fly for nations other than the US, Great Britain and West Germany.

New Aircraft:

Canadair Saber Mk.6
F-84F Thunderstreak
F-86K Saber
F-104G Starfigther
Lightning F6
Mirage 5BA
Su-15TM Flagon
Su-17M Fitter

By Kulbit80

This is small modification of stock WOE Red Lightning campaign letting Mirage Factory F-14A Tomcat operates from Nimitz carrier on the Baltic Sea near Danish Straits area.

I changed stock CVA-63 carrier name to CVN-68 Nimitz and decals number to 68 (to be more similar). Also added Location013=Baltic Sea and placed carrier under Danish Straits area. And of course added USN Jolly Rogers squadron instead of last F-15A unit ([uSAFUnit029] -> [uSNUnit001]) with typical supply: AIM-7F, AIM-9L, AIM-54A, Tank330_F14_W.

Requirements:

- MF F-14A Tomcat (F-14A folder) properly instaled for first gen. sims (remember change F-14A.ini code format from UNICODE to ANSI, decals on right place and weapons) with VF-84 Jolly Rogers skin inside.
http://combatace.com/files/file/11076-mirage-factory-f-14a-and-f-14b-tomcat/

- Wings Over Europe, Oct2008b updated, Mirage Factory Weapons Pack 01/25/2009.

Installation:

- put WOECAMP2.ini & WOECAMP2_DATA.ini into Campaigns\woeCamp2\
- GERMANYCE_TARGETS.ini & GERMANYCE_NATIONS.ini goes into Terrain\GermanyCE\
- CVA-63.ini put in Objects\GroundObject\CVA-63\
- Decals.ini into Objects\GroundObject\CVA-63\USNGrey

and let overwright (BUT MAKE BACKUP BEFORE!)

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.

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.

3. Fly.

WOV Air & Ground War Expansion Pack Gold - VPAF Add-on

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
WOV Air & Ground Expansion Pack v. 1.1 - VPAF Add-On
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is an add-on package for the "Wings Over Vietnam: Air & Ground Expansion Pack v. 1.1" available at CombatAce. This add-on makes most major aircraft of the Vietnamese People's Air Force (VPAF) flyable with custom third-party cockpits and avionics. It also contains "Red" versions of the three main WOV campaigns, allowing you to fly VPAF MiGs against opposing USAF, USN, & USMC aircraft.

This add-on package is designed to be applied over the top of an existing installation of version 2.1 of the Expansion Pack with the latest update package applied. 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/

The latest update package for the Expansion Pack can be found here:

Feb. 2011 Update:
http://combatace.com/files/file/10658-wov-air-ground-war-expansion-pack-gold-feb-2011-update/

You should have the latest updates for the Expansion Pack before applying this add-on 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 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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What's Included
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This add-on package supplies the following updates for your WOV Expansion Pack install:

- cockpits and related files to make most VPAF fighters flyable

- new engine sounds for VPAF MiGs

Korean Air War Update to SP4 standards

by malibu43

This update just organizes the ground objects into proper folders, fixes some aircraft carrier bugs, and ensure the air units in the campaigns use the right aircraft included with the install.

Installation:

Delete the campaigns folder and the ground objects folder in your Korean Air War install and replace them with the ones included in this zip file.

You'll also have to download wrench's F4U:

Gazala 1942, a campaign for WoA

By Capitaine Vengeur

May 1942. Rommel's successful counter-offensive, following the retreat of Autumn 1941, had regained most of Cyrenaica by February. But since, the Axis forces had been blocked before the Gazala Line: a deep minefield running through the desert from Gazala to Bir Hacheim, stippled with fortified "boxes", and supported by mobile armoured reserves. Having received enough supplies, Rommel now planned to brutally unfreeze the situation. 'Operation Venezia' implied a daring flanking move South: while the Italian X and XXI Corps were tasked to fix the Allied attention North, around Gazala, the Afrika Korps and the Italian XX mobile Corps would outflank the fortified "box" of Bir Hacheim, and face the British tank reserves in the open, far away from the minefields cover, where the supposed superior range of German guns should give a decisive advantage to the Axis forces.

The frontal attack on Gazala was launched in the afternoon of May 26. The flanking move began that same night. In the morning of May 27, the Axis tanks overran one brigade, surprised while isolated in the open, and drove back two others. The Afrika Korps kept the momentum, heading Northeast, while behind it, the Italian armoured division 'Ariete' was tasked to capture Bir Hacheim and secure the supply lines.

Here is my second campaign for Wings over Africa, the free add-on by The Dev A-Team re-enacting the War over the most legendary battlefields of North Africa. All of the required planes and objects are provided already, except my own Soft targets for WoA whose download will be required (link included in the ReadMe file). One single modified file is provided additionally, giving higher hosting allowance to several airfields in order for them to manage the large number of units crowded as historically as possible on both parts of the Gazala Line (accurate details in the ReadMe file). This file is actually the same that the one enclosed with my former campaign Crusader 1941, so is compatible with both campaigns, and doesn't spoil the other campaigns by The Dev A-Team. A French translation of the campaign texts, as well as a handful of new counters are also included. Now choose your side, and protect or break open the gate to Egypt!

1. What's Inside:

This is intended to be an overall enhancement to the "Wings Over Vietnam" (WOV) experience without having to hunt for, download, and install some of the "must have" mods for the game. We've also made some great changes and additions to the terrain and campaigns to give users a wider variety of missions types to fly. At the same time we've also made changes to help the user control where they fly.

Here's a brief summary of what's new and changed:

-Terrain is split into North and South vietnam, with unique target areas for each.
-Terrain include dozens of new targets and target areas, using numerous new terrain items.
-Three stock WOV campaigns overhauled and expanded with new units, aircraft, and textures.
-Two new campaigns that are centered around fighting in South Vietnam
-CA_Stary's "Green Hell 2" Terrain Mod
-Brain32's "Re-painted VietnamSEA Tiles"
-Bananimal's "Re-scaled Trees for Green Hell 2"
-Pappa Goat's re-painted versions of the GH2/Brain32 tiles
-Cellinksy's "Widesky" Environment Mod
-Deadlier and more varied flak, AAA, and SAMs
-New ground objects, weapons, and effects

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
- Uong Bi Thermal Power Plant

- Thach Son Xa

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).

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:

13. Credits

This Expansion Pack is effectively a sub-set of the original, larger SF2V Air & Ground Expansion Pack created for "Strike Fighters 2: Vietnam." Neither the original nor this derivative for WOV would have been possible without the hard work of many modders over the years. We've used the work of the following individuals in creating these Expansion Packs for SF2V and WOV:

WOV Air & Ground War Expansion Pack Gold - Jan 2012 Update

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.

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.

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

Operation: Polar Glory '99 v1.03

By Baltika

// --------------------------------------------

// Operation: Polar Glory 1999

// By Baltika

// v1.03

// 19 December 2010

// --------------------------------------------

// Campaign mod for WoE October 2008 patch installs

// Russian Invasion of Iceland 1999

// --------------------------------------------

The proposed construction of US missile defence systems in former Warsaw Pact Eastern European countries poses the greatest threat to Russian national security since the Nazi invasion of the Great Patriotic War.

The refusal of the Western Powers to negotiate on this issue has left the Kremlin with no option but to pursue a military solution. Full-scale war in Central Europe is considered detrimental to Russian national interest.

A bold strike to occupy the strategically vital staging post of Iceland is considered to be an achievable goal which will demonstrate the resolve of the Russian people whilst avoiding a nuclear escalation of hostilities.

Once occupied, Iceland will become the major forward missile and submarine base of the Russian Empire and will guarantee strategic control of the North Atlantic.

Air and ground units of the Iceland Defence Force are on station to mount a defence of the island. The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower CVN-69, with units of Carrier Air Wing 7 embarked, is making all speed to the North Atlantic to oppose the Russian invasion. . .

// --------------------------------------------

// 1.03 update

Revised installation instructions to synchronise with Iceland terrain v1.02.

// 1.02 Update

This adds in squadrons from the remaining members of the Iceland Defence Force:-

RNoAF 332 Skv (F-16)

RCAF 441 Sqn "Silver Foxes" (CF-188)

KLU 323 Sqn (F-16)

Also adds in the following ground forces:-

Norwegian Telemark Battalion

Dutch Regiment Huzaren Van Sytzama

Royal Canadian Dragoons

// ----------------------------------------------------

// INSTALLATION

Ensure that all files listed above are installed.

The files included in this download pack are set up to make it obvious where everything has to go.

Contents of \Campaign folder to your WoE\Campaign folder, \Menu folder to WoE\Menu folder, etc.

For those who are updating a previous version of this campaign mod, just drop the included files into your existing install, over-writing any previous version. This will break any earlier Polar Glory campaign still in progress, so you may wish to finish before updating.

Any problems getting it up and running, give me a shout.

// ----------------------------------------------------

Notes:-

I had a problem getting Su-33 loadouts to work in campaign mode. To get the missiles to show up, I had to use the weapons editor to remove StationCode entries from these missiles:- AA-11B, AA-10C and AA-10D. If you have nay trouble with this stuff, post in the support thread and I'll do my best to help out.

For all those of you who say, "Why aren't you using the new TMF F-14A/B for SF2?"
This is a "template" campaign based on all the stuff I have in my heavily-modded WoE Oct 08 install. The purpose is to get a workable Iceland campaign out asap, as this has been requested and is a mission goal. I am also behind the curve in modding SF2, and I am very keen to see what the new EPs and F-14 game will bring to the table in terms of naval warfare. Those of you who have tried my Midway campaign will know I can force naval engagements in the WoX engine, but there is no point busting a gut to get something done when it will be served up on a plate soon enough.

Having said that, look out for "Operation: Nordic Hammer," coming soon for SF2 series.

Meantime, have fun in the Battle for Iceland ;-)

Bug reports, complaints and Single Malt to Baltika, c/o CombatAce ;-)
