Strike Fighters 1 Series by Thirdwire

In the 70s Canada wanted a more visable look for their rescue Choppers.
They went to brighter colours similar to the US Coast Guard.
These markings were used from 1973 to 1978 .
 
Thanks to Pasko for a great Helicopter model and for letting me release the skin!
 
Just drop into your UH-1B folder and fly.

The CH-118 Iroquois was purchased after the success of the US UH-1
Huey in Vietnam. The duties involved primarily Search and Rescue
and general utility duties. Only ten aircraft were purchased and
served roles until their retirement in 1995.
These markings were used from 1968 to 1973.

To the CombatAce community,
This is a selection of files for the 220ft diameter flying saucer that I recently constructed, but do not have the time or experience to fully complete. Please feel free to use and/or improve upon this model and release it with your own skin, flight model, etc. for the rest of the community to download and use. This may not be used in any payware and, if you do post a mod using this, I ask for credit to be given for the original model.
 
Included are the .lod and shadow files I was using for my basic tests in Wings Over Vietnam, though to most people
they will probably not be that useful: the windows did not appear (texture not assigned?) and I did not do any UV mapping,
so there is no basis for a skin yet.
With that in mind, I am supplying the last 3D Studio MAX 9 file I made ("flyingsaucer-lodready") and an FBX file.
The reference for this UFO model was a diagram from an old 1/48th scale model kit made by Testors, the only real significant
change that I made was the presence of eight windows in four groups instead of six evenly spaced ones on the upper deck.
 
Thank you and have fun continuing where I left off,

Cessna CO-119 BIRDDOG
 
The Cessna L-19 Bird Dog first entered service with the Canadian Army late 1954.
 
Just drop into your O-1e folder and fly.

The Aurora
 
This is just a basic GMax file as I have no idea what to do next.
 
All I ask is to be mentioned for "original model" or however you want to put it.
You can otherwise use this freely. I have included what info I could gather. I remember
reading somewhere that it was/is a recon/bombing aircraft so as far as weapons payload,
most likely BGM's.
 
 
TO BE USED AS FREEWARE ONLY!!!

Canada was the second NATO country to select the F-104G as its next generation combat
aircraft. On July 2, 1959, plans were announced for the co-production of 200 CF-104s.
 
Thanks to Ajunaidr for his excellent F-104G model and for allowing me to release this skin.
 
Just drop into his F104G Starfighter and fly!

F-89J (Late) Scropion For SF/WoV/WoE:
 
This package is a modification of MontyCZ's F-89C into the late-model J (those without wing-tip rocket pods)
It is a semi-complete package, including everything needed, -excepting the aircraft LOD files. They are NOT included, as I consider it 'wrong' to do so, without permission from the original author. (and it's against CA policy to do so)
 
Included are all the needed inis necessary to create the new aircraft. 2 skin folders are included, complete with decals, representing the 178th FIS, NDANG 'The Happy Hooligans', and a generic USAF natural metal.
 
All the skin bmps have been repainted, using new templates created by me, based off Volkjager's original skins. I've duplicated his original work, so all credit goes to him for skin creation...I've basically just redone them to make use of the new panel, rivet lines and new decals created by me for the serial and buzz numbers.
 
Included also is a brand new Hangar screen for the Late J, only available with this mod. Damage tgas are here as well.
 
== You MUST have the latest weapons pak installed to make use of the needed missiles ==
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for full, detail install instructions!!!
 
Happy Hunting, you Hooligans!!!

With the success in all the branches of the US military, and around the

They will be called the CF-199 Kestrel.
 
Thanks and credit to Julhelm for the excellent model model and templates.
(lots of fun to fly also)
 
This is a joint venture from Saganuay & ext

Good fly Guys...

The RCAF acquired its first examples of the Dakota in 1943 and they were used in various
theatres including in Canada, Europe and South East Asia. A total of 169 Dakota aircraft
served in the post war RCAF with 76 remaining in service in 1969. In 1989 the last nine
Dakotas were replaced by the CC/CT-142 Dash 8.
 
Thanks to SFP1 Dev A-Team for making the C-47B model and CB Productions for letting me post this skin!!!!
 
Just place it in your C-47B model and fly!

This is the first in a series of Mission Packs based on written accounts taken from the mission log of VMFA-531 'Ghost' Squadron for April 1965. This Pack replicates the missions undertaken by VMFA-531 for 13th April - 17th April 1965 inclusive.
 
[Acknowledgements]
I would like to thank 531_Ghost for the inspiration behind this project and Mike Wanamaker & Lee R. De Haven for writing the extracts from the original mission logs.
 
Also, thanks go to all those contributors that have provided an environment whereby this mission pack could be produced with a degree of realism. Without your modifications to the original WOV platform the creation of this mission pack would not be possible. I am standing on the shoulders of giants - thank you.
 
Update V1.10
This mod has been updated on request to remove direct links to any Capun and A-team prerequisite models. Instead please contact Capun for access - details enclosed.
 
[Pre-requisites]
This mission pack has a large number of pre-requisites due to the realism that I have tried to incorporate into the game. Please bear with me. This first Pack will require more pre-requisites than the subsequent Packs but you will get out what you put in, so the time invested in installing the pre-requisites will be worth it. The README details all necessary pre-requisites and installation instructions.
 
[Contents]
This Pack includes the following:
1. 11 x Missions taken from the historical accounts of VMFA-531 for the dates 13th April 1965 to 17th April 1965.
2. Detailed mission briefing pages for each mission.
3. The VMFA-531 mission log for April 1965.
4. New VMFA-531 pilot skins.
5. Static F-4B aircraft.
6. New loadout definitions for the F-4B.
7. Target definitions for each mission.
 
If there are any problems with the missions then please contact me directly, not the authors of the pre-requisites. Thanks.
 
During the course of 2008 I intend to post more mission packs that carry on where the last one left off, working through all of the missions identified in the original Mission Log write-up. That's about 60 missions in total!
 
As usual, feedback and comments always greatly appreciated.
 
Hope you like it. Regards, comrpnt.

I thought that I'd share with you my WOV Planning Map. I've been using it for mission design. It shows the whole of Southern Vietnam, up to and including the Dong Hoi airbase just North of the DMZ.
 
Each grid is shown, as used in-game to determine an object's position, within the map's range from X=410000 to 850000, and Y=090000 to 580000). I've re-coloured parts of the map to make them easier to see the grid lines and airbases when you print it out - either colour or gray-scale. Test so far show that it comes out neatly on a single side of A4 or Letter-sized paper.
 
This map is a .jpg file so it's not huge in terms of file size (only ~160k). If people want the .bmp or even the .ppt I used to construct it then please get in touch, as these are much larger files. Thanks.
 
Regards, comrpnt.

This is a Kestrel skin.. VMA-311 skin version.

First Eagles Medals Pack v1.0
===================
 
This is an add-on for Third Wire's WWI flight sim, First Eagles ("FE"). The stock FE has a number of limitations on the award of medals (there were only a few medals for each air service, and they could only be won once). This meant that after a short time in service, any pilot you had created in FE could not win any more medals, no matter how successful a mission you flew. I wanted to change that, to provide more medals, and so that a successful mission will bring a medal, even if you have previously won that medal. This package will work with either the stock FE, or FE with the Expansion Pack installed.
 
The medals which will now be available in FE are as follows:
 
British medals (Royal Air Force and Australian Flying Corps):
Victoria Cross
Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG)
Knight Commander of the British Empire (KBE)
Distinguished Service Order
Military Cross
Distinguished Flying Cross
Military Medal
Victory Medal
Silver War Badge
Croix de Guerre
 
French medals (French Aéronautique Militaire):
Legion of Honor (Légion d'Honneur)
Military Medal (Medaille Militaire)
War Cross (Croix de Guerre)
Combatant's Cross (Croix du Combattant)
Verdun Medal
Wounded Medal (Insigne du Blessé Militaire)
 
German medals (Imperial German Army Air Service):
Pour le Merite (Blue Max)
Order of the Red Eagle
Royal Order of Hohenzollern
Iron Cross 1st Class
Iron Cross 2nd Class
Military Merit Cross
War Merit Medal
Wound Badge
 
US medals (US Air Service):
Medal of Honor
Distinguished Service Medal
Distinguished Service Cross
Citation Star
Victory Medal
Purple Heart
Croix de Guerre

This is the only F-104A Canada bought before buying other models.
Thanks to ajunaidr for his excellent F-104A model and for allowing me to release this skin.

F-89C Scorpion 57th FIS Skin and Ini Update Pak for SF, WoV & WoE
 
This little package will give you an revamped skin, based off Volksjager's original, with -yet again!- some updated inis. (sorry about that...see "Other Notes" below for more details)
 
-- Please Note: this skin is designed to replace the skin folder marked "1" in your original install --
 
All the skin bmps have been repainted (from new templates created by me from the original bmps), new decals have been added for the serial, 'buzz', and individual aircraft numbers for 25 birds. This skin represents aircraft from the 74th FIS, 23rd FIW, as deployed as part of the Alaska Air Command, during the mid-1950s. I've even added the wingwalks I forgot before, some staining, and various stenciling around the aircraft
 
Newly updated data and loadout inis are included. These reflect changes to the unguided HVAR rockets, of which you'll be getting a new one (similiar to what I recently did for the MiG-17PF, PF(SP-16) and F-89D). So, be prepared to use the weapons editor, yet again!!!
 
This is the last of the original skins to be updated. We can now move on to other things!
 
== You MUST also have the latest weapons pak installed.==
 
Happy Landing!

Thanks Pasko for making the model!

(sorry for missing Gramps on the first posting. I thought they were done by someone else. Note to myself check history better next time! )

This is a Kestrel skin.. India Tiger skin version.
Requested skin from Atreides
 
 
Thanks and credit to Julhelm for the model, templates and bringing a great fictional aircraft to the community.

A-4Q Skyhawk - Skin update and ini Package for SF/WoW/WoE
 
This is a complete package, including a full update of nosecone's Argentine Navy Skyhawk skin, that will recreate the A-4Q Skyhawk as used by the CANA (and/or FAA) during the Falklands War.
 
What I've done is rebuild the decals ini, added a textureset ini, and completly rebuilded -from scratch- all the needed inis to recreate this aircraft. I've included nosecone's original readme at the bottom of this text file. Therefore, I can and WILL take no credit for the skins and decals. I'm just the ini dancer! Included is also my Argentine Skyhawk Hangar Screen, all set up for use in the main ini.
 
== You must have the latest Weapons Pak to use the Avionics Humps and Other Weapons. Please see the "Weapons & Loadout Fixes" thread at CombatAce for more, updated weapons for the Argentine Air Forces ==
 
Please see the enclosed readme for relatively easy install instructions, and some notes of interest.
 
All credit to nosecone, who did the original skin -- making sure everyone knows that!!
