Strike Fighters 1 Series by Thirdwire

A fictional Typhoon in Israeli service , based on the Netz Camo scheme. Far from perfect but I don't have time to really finish it just now . If anyone wants to improve on it feel free I've included a skin of the panel lines and I've labelled the parts as well as I can. It really needs a good set of Decals to finish it off but I'm lost when it comes to that though I've done the best I can. Please let me know if I've forgotten anything in the readme ( I usually do ).
I used only the skins in the model of the Typhoon as the base , all the rest is my fault lol.
 
P.S. The Typhoon model and presumably the skins were created by Craigbrierly ofc. much kudos Craig ( and anyone else who MAY have been involved )

F-104G Starfighter, Hellenic Air Force Mod
 
A Stand-Alone aircraft for SF/WoV/WoE/WoI
 
This is a compliation of several people's work, placed into an easy to install (and use) package. It is a full aircraft, complete with all the inis, lods, cockpit, 2 skins and various and sundry bits thrown in for good measue. (See Notes section below)
 
Basically, what I did was take Ajundair's F-104G, and created a 'nationalized' version for the Greek Air Force. I added Dave's (ex-USAFMTL) SEA-style camo skin, a full cockpit, the necessary decals, and viola! We have a new airplane. I also re-did the Natural Metal skin completely, as the panel and rivet lines were far too dark.
 
Included are Euro-green camo tanks, from my Fix Pak for the stock 3rdWire unit, for those inclined to add them. However, I left the data and loadout inis pointing to the stock silver tanks, as while doing research, about half of the pictures showed even the camo aircraft using them.
 
It is set up to use either of the weapons paks; the Bunyap Pak or Mirage Factory, or even NONE at all!!! As it is a complete aircraft, it should also be usable in WoI, although this particular aircaft has not been tested as such -- BE ADVISED, that WoI handles flight models differently, and I (and the folks that originaly built this) cannot be responsible for "adverse handling conditions, leading to uncontroled flight into terrain". Be that as it may, it should work passably!
 
See the enclose readme for more, pretty simple instructions, and the usual Notes/Commentary/General Noise stuff.
 
Happy Landings!!

Differences BA-6 Ba-10
 
The B-10 was fastest 53 km/h, shielding 15 mm
The Ba-6 40 / 45 km/h and 10 mm shield

1. Introduction
===============
 
When downloading addon aircrafts and new skins I always felt a bit dissatisfied with the hangar and loading screens supplied by their makers.
Not that they were wrong are bad, I simply don't like real-life pictures as either hangar screen or loading screen.
 
Furthermore, I did not like that their is no match between the aircraft skin you choose and the loading and hangar screen you get to see.
So I set out to find an easy way (within the confines of the simulation) to find a quick and easy way to get a match between the selected skin, hangar screen and loading screen.
 
I figured out a way, by working with standardized filenames. The only disadvantage is that you need to select the appropriate hangar screen/ loading screen manually.
But I suppose that most people fly in campaigns so it should be easy to set this up before you launch the simulation.
 
2. How does it work?
====================
 
First of all, you need to download yourself the addon aircraft and skins (don't worry I'll supply you with the appropriate links later on).
 
Secondly extract this pack to a temporary file/directory, where you will find several files in this pack:
Aircraft.ini file
TextureSetXXX_Loading.bmp
TextureSetXXX_Hangar.bmp
(with XXX being replaced by incremental numbers)
 
Each TextureSet file corresponds with the Textureset-entry of the same number in the aircraft ini.
 
Copy these files to your aircraft directory: \Wings Over Europe\Objects\Aircraft\aircraftdirectory\.
Only your aircraft.ini file will be overwritten, but that should not be a problem unless you have other skins installed then those mentionned in this readme.
 
If you open the aircraft.ini file, you will notice that its an exact match with the original aircraft.ini file except for a few edits in the [AircraftData]-section and with the entries for the skins already added.
The entries in the [AircraftData]-section should look like this:
// original authors settings
HangarScreen=...
LoadingScreen=...
//KingAlbert settings
//HangarScreen=TextureSetXXX_Hangar.bmp
//LoadingScreen=TextureSetXXX_Loading.bmp
 
Now the double /-symbol indicates to the simulation must ignore that line. So the only thing you have to do to select the hangarscreen and loadingscreen is remove the /-symbols in front of the line. Keep in mind that all other hangar and loading lines need to be preceded by a // otherwise the simulation will use the first instruction.
 
I kept in the original authors selection so you can easily revert back to his selection.
 
3. requirements
===============
 
You need a legal copy of one of the many Thirdwire Sims (WOV, WOE, WOI).
I only tested this pack in Wings over Europe, but I guess it should work fine in any of the other version.
 
4. Installing this pack

:yes: Here is a fictional version of Norway. It is fictional for I could not get the correct Norway area, however the terrain
is full of hills, mountains and valleys and sea . Texture set uses FE tiles + others. FYI a snowy version using DBS and
FE winter texture sets is in progress.

:yes: This is a terrain for India (actually the area near Burma, Nepal,China, India)
The terrain uses Polak's texture set thus the terrain is a bit fictional.

:yes: These are updated Planning Maps for the India Terrain

:yes: This is an updated Planinng Map for the Norway Terrain

At the beginning of the conflict the Vietcong no had AK-47, the weapon of choice and representative of Charlie at that time was the Mosin-Nagant M1944 or your copy china Type 53, its firepower was limited compensated but that its scope was greater and the M-16 were giving many reliability problems that were later resolved.

Lybia Terrain; Updates, Fixes and General Mayhem
 
Version 2.0 =FINAL= No more updates after this release!!!
 
This is mostly a 'fix' of the targets, types, and movements inis. It replaces ALL PERVIOUS VERSIONS of the Libya map. It is a FULL terrain, with everything needed to just unzip, drop into your game of choice, select the proper terrain cat pointer (more below), and go fly. That means that EVERYTHING is included - tiles, inis, the usual suspect terrain items (factory place, truck depot, country flags, etc). It has been tested in SF, WoV and WoE. It should work in WoI, as long as one of the original terrains is present, and the cat pointer adjusted to 'look' for it. -- This has NOT been tested!
 
It has been rebuilt, with corrected placements and flattening of the Libyan airbases, renaming of some target areas, and an EXTENSIVE expansion of the target's themselves. Due to terrain considerations, there are several airbases that are NOT in their Real World ™ locations or have the proper runway configuration. But they're pretty damn close! All the inis, especially the movement, have been rebuilt to change the semi-functional Anti-Shipping mission placements to something that works, and the addition of several Ground Attack routes from Tunisia. As you can expect, there are several 'Easter Eggs' scattered around the map. Have fun finding them!
 
It is also reccomened you have the latest Weapons Pak (either one should be ok), Pasko's Ground Objects, and Kesselbrut's Vehicles Pak. I haven't acutally placed their objects, other than the HAWK batteries, but they're nice to have. See "Notes" below for information about Stock & 3rd Party Ships.
 
PLEASE read the readme for full, detailed, step-by-step install instructions. Also, have a look at the semi-extensive "Notes" section for more of my color commentary and additional sidebars.
 
Happy Hunting!

Q-5B, Strange airplane with a very strange weapon.
Chinese anti-ship plane with ground radar, main weapon 2x Yu-2 rocket Torpedoes (5Km Range!, be carefull).
 
Q-5B is Q-5D mod, maked tweaking INI-files, no LOD changes. Skin is slightly repainted.
 
Yu-2 is the Chinese analogue of soviet RAT-52 torpedo.
Yu-2 is in new_weapon.txt.
Stupid test mission included (needs some ships ANZAC, OHPerry, Bristol).
 
Q-5B started in service in 1984, but stay on active duty not soo long.
 
...Hmm. Try Attacking navy ships with 5km range weapon - It's a "one way ticket", i think...

ZIS_Quad
 
 
ZIS truck with a machine gun mount quadruple Maxim, employment for use against targets on land or in air.
(WW2 and Korea)

Satellite passed Al-Walid earlier this morning found heat booms indicating Syria Air Force has their first strike long range bomber airbourned. Almost at the same time, air activities near sector 83 and 54 are increasing. Reconnaissance aircrafts reported visual confirmation that SA-2 sites in the area have been refueled indicating a surprise attack is imminent.
 
You are tasked to intercept any incoming threats and track distant targets, shoot them down as it deems necessary. Authorization code is AZBZ-BBEZ-DABD.
 
Good luck gentlemen!

Well at least, here's the second A-1E skin pack, depicting early birds used in 1964 and 1965. Those Skyraiders were painted in overall VNAF grey.
 
My apologies to all of you, especially to MPPD and NFG for the long delay before the release of the birds.

Hello everyone.
 
This is the UUM-7 micro missile pod from the Macross series used by the Vf-1.
I made 3 versions : Air to Air (IR and AR guided); Air to Ground (TV guided).
This is my first build for a game, and I release it as a beta. I'm open for sugestions how to improve this.
The air to air versions can be used only by pilot controled aircraft as the AI interprets the pod as an AG weapon and doesn't use it in AA engagements.
Install and use instructions are in the readme file.
 
Have fun

This is the original 370 gallon drop tank for the F-4B and F-4C, made by the Sargent Fletcher company in California. The tank is slightly different than the later MacDonnell tank introduced in 1965 in that it is slightly shorter and wider, and has a constant taper from the middle out to both ends. The Fletcher tank was most common in US Navy and Marine Corps service, as I have seen photos still in use by 1970. The USAF replaced it by 1966 - very few are seen in the 3-tone Southeast Asia camouflage scheme.
 
You must be able to run the weaponeditor to install this file.
 
My thanks to NGHENGO for converting the GMax file into a workable .LOD and .bmp file for me. This is my first step into the 3D modeling world for WOV!

LORAN F-4Ds in Southeast Asia Part 2
 
This is part two of my attempt to represent every F-4D serial number which flew with the AN/ARN-92 LORAN-D "towel rack" antenna in Southeast Asia in 1971-72. These additional airplanes are really for the die hard like myself that just had to have every one, which now total 65 (68 total decal schemes that you can select). Just add the files supplied here to your existing F-4DLORAN folder from my Part One.
 
In addition I have added a few corrections which will over-write a few old decals, plus the 11 black-bellied "Night Owl" F-4Ds of the 497th TFS at Ubon are here again which were LORAN birds.

Iceland 2015 v0.1 beta
 
for Wings Over Europe
 
by Baltika
 
with thanks to Gepard for illuminating the path
 
 
 
This is a beta preview of my Iceland 2015 terrain which is in the early stages of development.
 
Installation is as simple as dropping the Iceland folder into your WoE/Terrain folder, and selecting "Iceland 2015" from the terrain list.
 
This terrain is usable in SFP1 & WoV, but you will need to edit the CatFile= flag in the Iceland.ini file to point to the correct terrain Catfile for the version of the game you are running. You will also need a Germany_CE replacement tileset. Brain32's is excellent, with treemod by CA_Stary, and you can get it here:-
 
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6192
 
In fact, I recommend installing Brain32's tileset even if you are running WoE.
 
Just drop the tileset into your Iceland folder, and go fly.
 
 
Please be advised this is an early beta release, for preview and feedback purposes only. Single missions will run, and there are flyable airbases for Red and Blue sides.
 
But, there are a number of glaringly obvious tiling issues, and be very careful about using Alt+N as you are likely to crash into the side of a fjord somewhere.
For some reason, Blue side anti-ship missions tend not to work properly.
Also, non-airfield target areas are completely unpopulated, so don't go looking for lots of stuff to blow up, as it just ain't there, yet. . .
 
Now, if someone wants to tell me the easy way to create a new tileset from scratch, I'd be delighted ;-) The topography of Iceland is wonderfully varied, from Glaciers to Volcanic Lava flows, from pure blue crystal springs to beaches of black sand, and from barren craggy rocks to verdant pasture. Just now it all looks a bit, well, green and boring. My early efforts at creating terrain tiles are amateurish to say the least. Ho-hum, back to the drawing board. . .
 
As ever, feedback, suggestions and requests are most welcome. You can get me at combatace.
 
Tally-ho!

Oh yeah, this mod is released as freeware, you can mod it to your heart's content, and re-release for the benefit of the community. Credit should be given to the original developer, i.e. me ;-)
 
You are NOT permitted to use this in any payware package, OK?
