Strike Fighters 1 Series by Thirdwire

This is an update for my repaint of the redone VietnamSEA tiles and the GreenHelll addon. Thus the previous update is required:
 
VietnamSEA & Green Hell repaint Mk.9
 
In the original I offered a repaint of the rescaled Green Hell trees, as well as 'enhanced originals' I bodged together, that were basically the original trees pushed about a stop (thats photographic speak for made brighter), but the colours didn't blend with the terrain- ugly.<h2 class="maintitle"></h2>In this update you have four tree types to choose from (don't get too excited they're not all that different). Upon request I reworked the original larger Green Hell trees for both the 'originals' and the 'repaints'.
Includes:
 
Large Trees/ Repaint: **Recommended** reworked repaint that gives a more accurate variation in the colour of the vegetation (primarily to the grass and palm trees) with terrain blending also kept in mind.
 
Large Trees/Original: overall colours and curves altered to make vegetation blend with my repainted terrain. No alterations to individual vegetation.
 
Rescaled Trees/Repaint: Same as above with rescaled trees.
 
Rescaled Trees/Original: As above.
 
 
Changes:
 
- Upon request, addon now included altered version of the original Green Hell trees as well as the smaller rescaled ones for your preference.
 
- Originals re-done with same alterations used on my tiles.
 
- Repainted trees better balanced out for more realism once placed on terrain, whilst maintain their independently realistic colours.

This is the PL-13 BVRAAM that comes with the recently released J-20A 'Lurking Dragon' simply converted to a 'drag and drop' file for SF2. Just drop it in your weapons folder.

RAF B-1B 'Bone' Skin Pack
This is a simple mod of the existing original release B-1B skins to give three 'what if' RAF skins. All I've done is add a bit of overspray to the tail fin, change the canopy glass to a cool blue tint and add some decals. 
This very minor update just places the decals in a 'D' folder in each skin to suit the SF1 format.

INSTRUCTIONS
Just drop the 3 skin folders into your B-1B folder.

BIG THANKS to 'The Bone Team' and, in particular, to the creators of the two original skins;

Version 2 - October 22nd, 2023
 

Uploaded as a request by my mate Canadair, this is a simple mod of the skin that comes with the superb J-20 Chinese Stealth Fighter recently released by 'The Insky Group'. All I've done is toned down the white walkway markings and added Parani decals. I think you'll need WOI for the stock 'ARABIC3WHITE' decals. Hopefully, I've got the decal pathway correct, forgive me if I haven't but I don't normally upload skins and I'm a stranger over here in the SF1 section.
 
Well done to The Insky Group. More please!

Version 1 - 04/09/10
 
 

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

This is a Desert ghost skin i made for the F-15C eagle for its 50th anniversary. i added a custom eagle tail art. Enjoy! 
I will make one for the F-15E too soon. 

This is the skin i made of the 65th Aggressor Squadron F-35 of the USAF. The skin it self is not completely accurate or perfect. i didn't put much time  or effort into the skin so feel free to make any adjustments. 
The 65 AGRS was previously active at Nellis from 2005 to 2014. they were recently reactivated and will use F-35s to simulate enemy jets. the strange camo of the F-35 replicate the camo on the J-20.

This is a Fictional desert pixelated camo i made for Gripen. The tail art is inspired by the NG prototype. Enjoy!

Supermarine Skylark F.1 for SF1 Wings Over Israel
This is a simple mod of the excellent Third Wire Dassault Super Mystère B2 to give a 'what if' Supermarine Skylark F.1 with markings for No.5, No.11, No.23 and No.29 squadrons of the Royal Air Force's Fighter Command during the late 1950's and early 1960's era.
It is essential that you have Wings Over Israel as this is the only 'Series One' game to have the Mystère IV LOD's.
 
BACKSTORY
 
The adoption of the earlier Dassault Mystère IV (licence-built by Supermarine Aviation as the Siskin F.1) encouraged Dassault to offer the forthcoming Super Mystère to the UK Government to meet the RAF's requirement for a Venom replacement for overseas use. However, by mid-1955 the requirement had changed to that for a supersonic interceptor-fighter for RAF Fighter Command to supplement the Hunter F.6 and provide a lead-in to the Mach 2 English Electric Lightning.
By this time the Super Mystère prototype had flown (initially powered by a Rolls Royce Avon RA.7R) and the successful early flight-testing gave the RAF the confidence to quickly draft an official Operational Requirement based around a Super Mystère powered by the proposed Avon RA.21R and armed with 2 x 30mm ADEN cannon. Supermarine were selected to licence-build the Super Mystère at South Marston as the Supermarine Skylark F.1 for RAF Fighter Command and with an initial order for 120 aircraft and soon supplemented with an order for 45 Skylark FR.2's for RAF Germany (carrying centreline Vinten camera pods).
Whilst Dassault quickly moved on to the Mirage family of delta-winged fighters the Skylark was further developed by Supermarine as the FGA.3 fighter-bomber for the RAF and also exported to Finland, India and Saudi Arabia.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Drop the SkylarkF1 folder into your Aircraft folder.
That's it!

TU_160 Blackjack project by UllyB for SF1 series

    The Tupolev Tu-160, NATO reporting name: Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber designed by the Tupolev Design Bureau in the Soviet Union in the 1970s. It is the largest and heaviest Mach 2+ supersonic military aircraft ever built and second only to the XB-70 Valkyrie in overall length.It is the largest and heaviest combat aircraft, the fastest bomber now in use and the largest and heaviest variable-sweep wing airplane ever flown.
    Entering service in 1987, the Tu-160 was the last strategic bomber designed for the Soviet Union. As of 2016, the Russian Air Force's Long Range Aviation branch has at least 16 aircraft in service.The Tu-160 active fleet has been undergoing upgrades to electronics systems since the early 2000s. The Tu-160M modernization programme has begun with the first updated aircraft delivered in December 2014.
 

 TO INSTALL:
- unzip the Tu-160 folder into your ...\Objects\Aircraft folder
- unzip the content of the Effects folder into game's effects folder

1956 Operation Kadesh 
P-38L Lightning Israeli Air Force (101 Squadron) 'What If?'
A simple Israeli Air Force Skin for Wolf257's P38. This is a 'what if' skin (Israel never purchased or operated the P38 AFAIK) so this is just for fun! Tested on Wings Over Israel only but I imagine it will work on SFP1/SFG although you might need to play with the decals first!
 
Enjoy!

Are you fed up of debris flying up in the air and spoiling your screenshot, or not matching your paint scheme (or your navigator's eyes)?
 Then use 'Debris Gone' and banish debris today!
OK. As an unexpected request, here is a simple replacement for the stock DEBRIS.tga which you can put into your Flight folder and remove flying debris. The original DEBRIS.tga will remain safe and snug in your CAT files so if you don't like you can just delete it and your game is back to normal. If you haven't got a flight folder then just put my Flight folder into your main folder (not in your Objects folder - go up one level).
Special thanks to Migbuster for giving me the idea.

De Havilland Vampire F.8 for SF1
This aircraft mod will create a 'what if' de havilland Vampire F.8 with colourful post-war markings for No.3, No.4, No.98 and No.263 squadrons of the Royal Air Force. 
 
This is a revised upload that was originally for SF2 but mistakenly got left in the SF1 section when the SF1/SF2 split happened and as I can't get SFG/WOX to work on my W10 desktop I've not been able to test it. I think I've got the reverse engineering right but the one thing I can't do is sort out the rockets and tanks (it's so much easier in SF2).

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Drop the Vampire_F8 folder into your Aircraft folder.
That's it.

CREDITS
As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim.
Thanks to Pasko for this superb add-on aircraft (one of his many), Gramps for the skins and also Don (C5) for the FM.

Version 2 - 24/06/2020
Version 1 - 09/04/2009

Installation
 
 
 
1.After unziping the mod archive first copy the A-50 folder into:
 
 
 
*\Objects\Aicraft\ folder.
 
 
 
2.Then copy the content of the fake_pylon folder,except the text file into:
 
 
 
*\Objects\Weapons\ folder.
 
 
 
3.Add the content of weapons.txt file to the weapondata.ini file.
 
 
 
4.Then start the Weapon Editor Application (WeaponEditor.exe), and load the weapondata.ini file and SAVE ! It's important.
 
 
 
5.Keep in mind that this plane uses a LARGE runaway, alright ?, so any terrain which DOESN'T have at least one LARGE runaway for the ENEMY (just check the targets.ini file for airfields and runaways to be sure) it will crash the game. It took me a while to realize that but finally i did and I updated the readme for letting you all know that as well. For the time being, Madagascar terrain and Vietnam map don't have , for ENEMY, a large runaway. (In my personal setup I added one for each to be able to play there,too)
 
6.If you have a favorite jet you wanna accompany you and you need fuel tanks for it, just replace the default MIG-29 fuel tank setting on the fake pylon declaration with the one you desire.
 
The modded AWACS has air-to-air/air-to-ground radar (360 degrees and 200 miles radius for BOTH!) and target lock features.It can see and lock to a target which is 200nm ahead. This way you can surveillance a whole area and lots of enemy planes keeping an eye on any buggy which winds up too close to you. It also has ECM measures, missiles decoys (chaff & flares) and RWR capabilities so you will know if enemy has a lock on you or a radar guided missile is on its way to you.
 
 
 
Now start the game and select, in SINGLE PLAYER, A-50 plane. DON'T load weapons for YOUR plane (the AWACS), instead, from the roster, add two (or five) more aircraft. Leave first to be the A-50. The next ones made them "escort fighters", for instance choose two MIG-25/29/31 etc. Remember, for the sake of realism you can choose just soviet planes ONLY, for others , no ammo and missiles will be available. After selecting some fighters load them in the same menu with ammo and missile and just start the flight. In this scenario the wing will behave like a bomber wing, not like a usual fighter one, so you, with the AWACS you'll be in the center and other two fighters will be on your right and on your left. Other additional 3 (if you chose 5 escort planes) will go behind in a wall formation. You have air-air radar and you can see & lock planes which are 200nm ahead! After locking a fighter for example, if that fighter goes into your path and you have just 30km to it, send first two wingmen to intercept. First two plane will behave like your wingman in fighter missions, you can give them command "attack my target" so it's important to lock on an enemy plane first,obviously. If the events heat up you can order the next three fighter from the escort (if you chose 5 in total) to move in. Just give them the command "Engage Air" and if enemy fighters are near they will engage them as well. So basically you can have two planes behaving like a single wingman and other three that will engage in the area if enemy planes are near.
 
 
 
As a variation you can mix fighter and fighter/bomber planes in your escort and this way you can deal with ground threats, too. Are you nearby an enemy airbase and a SAM lock sound bothers you or an anti-air gun looks funny at you? Just search it with the "HOME" key, no matter how far/close it is and send some planes from your escort, which have antiradiation missiles (or other Air-to-surface ordnance) to take care of the problem.
 
 
 
-The mod was tested on SF1 WOI but it should work fine in other SF1 games (WOV, WOE etc).
 
 
 
I used the Veltro2k's E-767 avionics (AWACS 360 degrees radar this time!) and his famous A-50 Mainstay model which I found it here on the download section long ago, Pasko's Tu-16T cockpit and fake pylons. My only merit is that I just had the idea of transforming all these into an AWACS SINGLEPLAYER mode and that I tweaked it and put all together to make it work. Logan4 also contributed helping me to make the fuel indicator work (many thanks friend for that!).
 
 
 
-This mode is free of charge and can not be sold by anyone. Feel free to use this mode in your future project without asking permission, just don't forget to add me to the credits list.
