Iranian AH-1J skin by Stormtrooper, template by HrntFixr.
 
For A-Team's rereleased AH-1J Cobra available at Capun's site
 
Skin will work with beta AH-1J and the AH-1G, but will not look as intended.
 
Any questions comments PM me at CombatAce or SimHq under Stormtrooper.

Authors:
MF's F-16 blk10 avionics and hud.
Some Wrench's nosearts ( I can't resist)
Stealth skin and mercenary skinby alfonsofondacaro
F-111F modded datas (of course) by Vark team
F-111F modded cockpit by I don't know
Pavetacksystem mod by me (nothing special and idea already used in the B-57G)
Lau105AHm from various Combatace threads (FastCargo, GoCAD and others)
Canards lod and bmps by crimsonroamer, placed by 76.iap blackbird and repainted by bobrock
 
Everything put togheter by me. It is my fault not people's above.
Also this is really a combined effort. I think I mentioned everyone and asked permission to everyone for what is in the package.
In case I forgot, it is just my mistake, I apologize in advance, and we will work it out, let me know in PM or on the boards.
Same if someone wants the files removed, just ask the moderators or me.
 
Hopefully in the future we can have an easier to install version that includes .lods and cockpit. which for now are not included.
 
 
 
This plane is completely fictional.
 
 
 
It is inspired to Dale Brown's novels in which, usually the characters are flying highly modified bombers to save the free world in top-secret and reckless missions.
The RF-111G appears ina Dale Brown's novl called "Chain of Command" which I actually haven't read, but the idea of a revamped F-111 was too good to pass.
It makes use of various bits and pieces of stuff made by great modders, such as:
 
Of course F-111's model and cockpit makers, for starter. Without them we would not have the Varks at all. Their is the credit.
 
-MF's avionics suite and graphics coming form the F-16A Blk10, allowing modern AHM capabilities, TWS and avionics70 compatiblity, and HUD. tThe suite has been slightly modified to be adapted to the RF-111G, but the credit is Mirage Factory
 
-alfonsofondacaro's stealth and mercenary skins for F-111F, great jobs done quickly and on request, keep an eye on this guy he will do great things I think!
 
-Some of Wrench's nosearts, that definately need more visabilty; what is more sexy than a beauful girl painted ona sleek fighterbomber nose? Yes I agree, a real beautiful girl in your bed, I know I know..
Anyway:
 
Installation:
This is not a complete aircraft. You need a good and complete install of the F-111F, with sounds and effects and fuel tanks.
Most likely you already have the F-111F in your install, if you don't:
 
-Install the F-111F from the package available at Combatace.
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...mp;showfile=917
 
Install the F-111's cockpit from Mike Wherner website
http://www.schmidtwerner.de/products/e_f-111_pit.html
 
-MAKE a COPY of the F-111F and rename it RF-111G;
 
-Delete all skin folders in the just renamed RF-111G folder
 
Copy, and overwrite all content of this download folder into RF-111G folder.
 
Next we need to install two new weapons.
 
Copy the content of the supplied weapons.txt in your weapondata, renumber in sequence, and then open the weapondata with weaponeditor and save.
You will have two new weapons
 
-A "pavetacksystem" which is basically an unlaunchable missile(EOGR) with no lod attached to a mock hardpoint; it will allow you to "operate" a camera FLIR even after the release of the guided bombs. . Think of it as the software for the Pavetack AVQ-26 (which still needs to be loaded)
 
-A LAU-105AHM, Dual Amraam launcher-rail.(yes this plane can perform Air to AIR)
 
 
Finally the content of "put in aircraft folder" must be dropped into your aircraft folder; do not overwrite if requested; most likey you have canards for other planes. in this case backup your canards and drop the RF-111G canards, or keep those you had before, althoguh in this case the RF-111G wil be without canrds, or even worse get the canards you have installed. On Combatace there is thread by FastCargo that explains how to modify with an hex editor the canards.lod. Perhaps a future version will have dedicated canards.
 
Final notes
-AVQ-26 pavetack should be kept in all loadouts, and the FLIR can be deployed with CTRL-O command, and to mantain camera FLIR capabilty, the pavetacksystem should be kept in all loadouts too.
 
Loadouts: there are only weapons included in standard weapons pack. I suggest though to experiment with exotic loadouts as SDB, TacitRaimbows, Jsows, Jdams etc.
 
Hangar and loading screen are still those coming with F-111 package , maybe some one feels like redoing them?
 
IMPORTANT final note
TO improve you BVR gameplay make sure that ALL your planes in the install have a maxvisibility of 12000 in their data ini; you will be able to lock a target, on radar, hit CTRL-R to lock it visually (BVR) and order wingman to attack. In most case wingman will use SAHM, AHM and then IRM. Very cool, until WOI which apprently has an AI very good at breaking radar lock.
 
 
 
 
Of course all credt goes to mentioned designers and this mod is for freeware use only

VMA(AW)-533 repaint for the Razbam A-6A (black radomes)
 
The next Vietnam Marine Intruder unit decals, VMA(AW)-533 at Chu Lai, and the base model is again the recently released A-6 Intruder by Razbam. Just drop the folder into the A-6A folder and go fly. It will not work with the original WOV A-6A or the add-on created by Monty CZ.
 
A working decal system is provided for anyone creating new markings for the plane.
 
Enjoy,
Mike Druzolowski

Kashmir TERRAIN
=====================
 
Kashmir terrain is made for WOE.
=========================
 
This terrain is made as part of the tutorial "My way to create a terrain" which you can find in the Knowledge Base of Combatace Forum.
This terrain is full operational, but not finished. If someone want to use it as basic for making a full developed India vs Pakistan terrain, so feel free to use this terrain.
As i have promised you will find 3 airbases and 3 industrial target areas for each side. I have installed one shipping line, 2 truck convoi routes and 2 panzer battle routes.
I put in the Texturelist and the Citieslist, so that you has all neccessary files for further work with the Terrain editor.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
INSTALLATION
 
unzip all files into your Wings over Europe/Terrain folder
 
 
Thats it.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
 
Kashmir Strait terrain is freeware. Commercial use is forbitten.
If you find bugs please post them in StrikeFighters section of Combatace.com forum.
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hope you enjoy it.

This is a complete file replacement for the F-86F-40 originally incluced in the Download U.S.A.F. Later Model Sabres here at Combat Ace.
 
I discovered the original was non-functional due to file structure.
 
My appologies for the confusion.
 
Hope you enjoy!

Serbian Air Force Mig-21MF
 
This is a kind of "what if". Asfar as I know the FRY Air Force didn't have MFs, they were probably retired and so could not be used by the Serbian Air Force. This skin follows the idea that they continued their service in the FRY Air Force, later the Serbia and Montenegro Air Force and finally the Serbian Air Force. I made the skin to resmble the SAF's current camouflage used on it's Mig-21s.
 
Simply put in your Mig-21MF folder and select SrbAF from the list of skins.

F-86F-30 Sabre, No.2 Squadron, South African Air Force, Korea, 1953.
 
No.2 Squadron "The Flying Cheetahs" served throughtout the Korean War, attached to the USAF 18th Fighter-Bomber Wing. Intially flying F-51D Mustangs, they were converted onto Sabres in January 1953.
 
This is a rebadged stand-alone of the F-86F-30 Sabre contained in the package put together by USAFMTL, David Zurawski, Jimmy Bib, Fubar 512 and Tazkiller; please read the enclosed "Original Read Me" for details of credits. My only contribution involves decalling, some nationality tweaking and hangar/loading screens.

this skin represents a EAF F-16A Blk15 just copy the skin in to your F-16A_Blk10-NDC

********************************* Version 1.0 Original Release ********************************
Version 1.0
 
Notes:
 
This tool is for use in trying to find the coordinates for the a object model where you don't have access to the original MAX file.
 
The large one is 20 meters in length and 1 meter in 'tallness'...each large number a meter, each small number a decimeter, and each 'tick' mark the thickness of a centimeter. It may be slightly off by about 5 millimeters due to the thickness of the 'O' tickmark.
 
The small one is 2 meters in length...basically scale the large one down by a decimal point.
 
The idea is to use the big one to get you close, then use the small one to get the exact position you need...taking screenshots to help remember what the measurement was.

Readme for ASAT for WOI (Version 1.0)
 
********************************* Version 1.0 Original Release ********************************
Version 1.0
 
Thanks to the following folks:
 
TK - For the ThirdWire series of sims.
Bunyap and Wpnssgt - For the original Weapons Pack.
Mustang - For the great video tutorials.
To my fellow Combatace moderators - For helping me beta test and work out bugs.
Any errors or mistakes are entirely mine.
 
 
What you will need first:
 
Thirdwire Weapons Editor - http://www.thirdwire.com/downloads_tools.htm
 
Wings Over Israel (as of 29 Mar 08) - This mod will ONLY work with WoI at this time.
 
Mirage Factory's F-15C MSIP - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5865
 
Bunyap's Range - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=2658
 
Wrench's Range Upgrade - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6164
 
 
Optional to increase fidelity:
 
USAFMTLs F-15C Skin for the 57th FIS - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=1572
 
Lexx_Luthor's 3-D rocket exhaust - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5998
 
 
Notes and limitations:
 
The 'Tselina ELINT Satellite' is a real satellite that existed in the 1980s. It was used as a target because I was able to find decent photos of it to build off of.
 
The ASAT missile was test fired once (and had a successful intercept), but was never approved for production.
 
I have not found any way to incorperate the satellite into a campaign and have it be designated as a target in a mission.
 
However, if anyone that's good at building single missions wants to incorperate it into a single mission, feel free to do so.

Strike Fighters/Wings Over Vietnam/Wings Over Europe etc Mi-24 skins readme
 
All credit for these skins goes to their creators as detailed below. All I've done is to re-format them for SF\WOV\WOE and add a textureSet to each skin.
 
Not all of the countries for which we have skins are included in the standard NATIONS.ini list, so I've left those as Soviet. It doesn't make any difference to the skins' appearance as there are no decals to worry about. If you have the New Nations mod that includes these missing countries then feel free to modify the relevant TextureSet.
 
 
All you need to do is to extract the skin to your Objects\Aircraft\Mi-24 folder, then go fly and blow up some stuff.
 
 
Thanks must go to the A Team for making the Mi-24 for SF\WOV\WOE, Tim Conrad for the original Mi-24V, and of course TK for giving us these great sims to play with.
 
This skin is based on Mike Pearson's textures and converted with his kind permission.
 
Enjoy, and good hunting
 
Allen
 
ps You can use these skins in any mods, campaigns etc, but please name check me and the original skinners in your credits as a courtesy. Thanks

This is just zyzy6464's skin for the WOE F-15A re-formated to work with the stock WOI F-15A_Baz.
 
The skin is for 133 Squadron, Twin Tails, and all credit for the skin should go to zyzy6464.
 
Unfortunately I couldn't contact him to obtain permission to post this mod, but I haven't altered his skin in any way. All I did was to rename the .bmp files and edit the decal.ini
 
To install just extract the idfaf folder to your objects/aircraft/F-15A_Baz forlder and then boot up WOI and go fly.
 
Thanks to TK for this great sim, and of course to zyzy6464 for the original skin.
 
Safe flying, and good hunting.
