Strike Fighters 1 Series by Thirdwire

These are the Photoshop templates for my C-130H Ver 1.0, so that others can make skins for it.
 
Enjoy!

C-130H As flown by 37 Squadron Royal Australian Air Force.
 
Read the Readme.txt

This is a fictional VTOL jet inspired by the Kestrel jet from the Amiga games Zeewolf and Zeewolf 2. It is similar to the Harrier, but lighter and with vastly more powerful turbofan which, while making pop-up'n'fire-attacks a breeze, does guzzle up fuel at a rather alarming rate when in hover mode.
 
Features:
 
Custom cockpit by yours truly.
 
Skin template included for your skinning pleasures.
 
3 skins:
 
Ferris-type experimental camo
 
Swedish Navy Gripen-style camo
 
USMC Desert camo
 
------------------
 
People whose textures I've shamelessly borrowed/ripped off:
 
Kesselbrut - Vigi pit for the side consoles
 
Batman - Random gauges from the excellent F-4J cockpit because I was too lazy to do them myself :)
 
The rest of the pit is mine, however.
 
------------------
 
Other info:
 
This is a work in progress and subsequent refinements will be posted as time permits. In the meantime, I'll be grateful for any comments/suggestions.

Legal stuff:
 
Sell or claim this as your own work and I will bust your kneecaps, steal your mother, rape your TV and smash your f***ing head in.
 
Same goes for trying to sneak this into some payware package.

Mikoyan MiG 9 Strike Fighters Project One Add-on by Timmy and Lexx_Luthor.
 
In response to a state requirement issued in February 1945 for a pure jet fighter, the MiG OKB developed a twin-engine, straight-wing aircraft that was given the designation of "I-300". It was also referred to by the internal OKB code of "izdeliye F (model or product F)". And was finally designated "MiG-9" by the Soviet Union and code named "Fargo" by NATO. The first of three prototype performed its initial flight on 24 April 1946, with test pilot Alexei N. Grinchik at the controls, making it the first Soviet pure jet aircraft to take to the sky. It beat its competitor, the Yakovlev Yak-15 jet fighter, into the air by only an hour.
 
There are six skins included. One basic Soviet Silver version. One Soviet silver with lightning bolts. One People's Republic of China - silver with red nose and wingtips. One PRC solid green camoflage. One PRC Grey/Green Camoflage. One fictional Polish scheme.

The first of 254 Thunderjet received from USAF arrived in Italy in Maj 1952.
The 5°Stormo was the first that received the new jet for his 101°Gruppo and 102°Gruppo,in the next year the Stormo becoming in Aerobrigata,like an USAF's Wings,whit an additional Gruppo the 103°that passed it's F-47D to the 22° Gruppo of 51^ Aerobrigata.
This skin depicts some F-84G of 103° Gruppo(Group) based at Villafranca Air Base in the 1953;the three flash on the vertical tail symbolized,with his colours,all the group: yellow for 103°,blue for 102° and red for 101°.
 
The original skin is by Russouk2004.
All I did was repaint and add some details, and lots of decal work.

Here is a skin pack depicting every F-100D flown by French squadron 1/11 Roussillon after 1966. Every aircraft has correct serial numbers and fuselage code. The belly of the aircraft, as well as the wings and tail was covered with a special coat to prevent corrosion, that's why the color is not exactly the same as the back of the plane.

F-104S ASA M 37° Stormo, 18° Gruppo
In mid '90s Italian Air force abandoned the traditional NATO tactical camouflage for the air superiority gray, now in use as a standard paint scheme. ASA M planes were intended to be pure interceptors and air defence fighters.
 
The squadron insignia is a stork delivering its "load" and it's named after Cesare Toschi, Medaglia d'Oro al Valor Militare recipient, for his actions over Malta during WWII. The Gruppo motto is "Ocio che te copo" (watch it or I kill you). In '99 it operated CAP mission over the Balcans during Operation Allied Force.
 
This skin is for the F-104S-ASA M mod available on Combat Ace and you'll need both JET-Z S/ASA mod available on his site (http://www.12packproductions.com/JetZ/index.html) and the original F-104G by ThirdWire.
 
Installation instruction in the readme.txt included.

This is a skin of Maj.John Glenn's Mig Mad Marine F-86F Saber as seen in the skies of War torn Korea.It is a compulation of several differnt skins,and my own photoshop work.I thank everybody who made this skin possible,and hope you all enjoy it.

*Note: this packing includes the latest skin. I'd originally planned this only as an update, but it appears I never uploaded this aircraft package here at CA...so, you've got it all now!*
 
Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Vought Corsair Mk.II mod for SF/WoV/WoE
 
*Note: this re-pack includes the new skin and fixed decal*
 
This is a modifcation of Wolf257's F4U Corsair into the Mark II version used by the British Royal Navy in the Atlantic. (minus the clipped wing tips - as that isn't modeled)
 
This is a semi complete aircraft mod, creating a country specific version for use in your World War 2: ETO installs ONLY!! As such, all the loadouts have been adjusted to fit Royal Navy aircraft of the time (or as best guess as my research has shown). This aircraft does NOT carry rockets. It does, however, have the inner under wing and centerline stations split into 3 groups, allowing for asymetrical loadout (as seen in several pictures I have)
 
!Semi-complete means the aircraft lod is NOT included - you'll have to transfer it over from one of your other Corsairs!
 
It represents aircraft from FAA 1842 Squadron embarked on HMS FORMIDABLE during the time frame of the attacks against the TIRPITZ.
 
You'll also find a new ETO Corsair hangar screen, I created just for this mod, and ONLY available with it.
 
==NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK INSTALLED FOR PROPER WEAPONS LOADOUT!!==
 
Please read the enclosed readmes (there's 2 - for for install, and one explained the new 'updated' skin) for complete install instructions.
 
Enjoy!

***************************** Version 1.1 Notes ****************************
 
BLU-82 has been deleted.
 
Improved texture and animation for GBU-43 (MOAB).
 
Readme changed.
 
****************************************************************************
 
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:
 
Bunyap's Weapon's Pack - http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=2672
 
Thirdwire Weapons Editor - http://www.thirdwire.com/downloads_tools.htm
 
Copy of SFP1/WOE/WOV patched to the latest standard (as of 22 Oct 07)
 
Notes and limitations:
 
The MOAB (GBU-43/B) is a very LARGE weapon. More than likely, it will not fit (without serious visual clipping issues) inside of any bomber. In reality it are dropped from cargo aircraft, specifically the C-130.
 
You will have to adjust the weapon station inside the cargo aircraft you want to drop from to 'fit' the weapon. Look specifically at the following limitations:
 
LoadLimit=
DiameterLimit=
LengthLimit=
AllowedWeaponClass=EOGB
AttachmentType=USAF
 
These limits MUST exceed the dimensions of the weapon you want to load...otherwise, it won't show up! The dimensions are spelled out very clearly in each weapon's weapondata.ini entry.
 
Also, if you have a problem with a weapon showing up, make sure you are within the years the weapon was used, and that your carrying aircraft is USAF...because I made these weapons non-exportable. Now, if you want to use it in another nation's aircraft, just change the Exported=FALSE (in the weapondata.ini) to Exported=TRUE. The other option is to change the aircraft's data.ini entry to NationName=USAF...like I did with Dels excellent Aussie C-130J.
 
Since weapons are 'hung' in the TW engine, coordinate systems to mount the weapons in the bay should not be based on where the 'floor' of the bay is...rather the floor plus the height (thickness) of the weapon is where it is mounted.
 
I've provided my WeaponsStation for the MOAB as an example using Dels C-130J:
 
[MOABStation]
SystemType=WEAPON_STATION
StationID=1
StationGroupID=1
StationType=INTERNAL
AttachmentPosition=0.05,-2.1,0.4
AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0
EjectVelocity=0.0,-35.0,1.5
LoadLimit=9600
LengthLimit=9.2
AllowedWeaponClass=EOGB
AttachmentType=USAF
BombBayAnimationID=3
BombBayOpenTime=5.0
BombBayCloseTime=5.0
 
Both weapons 'slide' out of the back using an extraction parachute. You should use the EjectVelocity numbers...they help prevent the weapon 'dropping' through the floor.
 
You WILL have to fiddle with your weapon stations quite a bit to make it look right when it sits in the cargo bay. I can't help you with that...but the knowledge base at Combatace and the PDF file with the latest WeaponsPack will help out a lot.

Here is a long overdue overhaul of the USAF F-4C/D/E Phantom II tailcode decals for every Air Force Phantom squadron in Southeast Asia from 1967 through 1975 for WOV. Some 326 new TGA decals are provided with (hopefully) correct fin tip colors, canopy rails, tape lights, and intake insignias for a total of 62 marking schemes, many I have not seen released before. Also included are my F-4 serial number decals, plus a little historical info for reference.
 
A new squadronlist.ini file is provided with new entries, but none of the original squadron entries are altered so you do not need to edit any existing campaign or mission files.
 
I'd appreciate any input for mistakes/corrections and of course additions.
 
(The TGA decals have some reference marks on them also to allow anyone to use them to create new markings!)
 
Enjoy,
Mike Druzolowski

F-110A "Wraith" Mod Pak for SF/WoV/WoE
 
A "What If..." Cold War Aircraft
 
First of all, I have to extend a great deal of thanks to BadFrank from the CombatAce message boards, as this entire thing was his idea!! He's also the person that found the mesh names for the rear canopy for me to get the decal on (it's also his decal, I just repainted it).
 
What we have here is a mod of the F-4B creating a single-seat version of the Phantom. This version is designed for US Air Force use, as a long-range missile armed interceptor, along the lines of the F-102, F-106 and even it's older brother, the F-101A Voodoo. This aircraft has NO air-to-ground capabilities, in keeping with it's role as a continential air defense interceptor.
A gun pod (SUU-16) can be loaded as they become available (later service year dates)
 
All items used, excepting the new weapons, are stock 3rd Wire, and are readily available in each of the varying versions of the game. It makes use of stock, albeit renamed skin files, some of which have been repainted by me. I've included them in the package, as it's easier than having the end user transfer and rename files. And again, as they're all stock items, they exist in all versions of the game. As should all the serial decals as well.
 
You'll be adding a couple of new 'weapons', a modified Scooter hump and a rebuild of my 'hack job' F-104 Recon Pod, now modified/renamed/tweeked for use on the Phantom.
 
Full, detailed instrustions on all facets of installation are in the enclosed readme, along with full credits for folks who helped out. -- so PLEASE read the cursed thing!!! It'll make your life easier, I promise you!
 
Enjoy!

First skin of a series that depicts the F-84G of Italian AF(AMI), this shows the airplanes of 6^ Aerobrigata(Wings) based at Ghedi-Montichiari Air Base in the 1953

USAAF P-51C Mustang Upgrade & Skin Pak for SF/WoV/WoE, WW2 ETO Installs
 
This is a re-skin and ini upgrade package for Wolf's P-51C "Mustang" (Malcom Hood). The skin was created from his orginal template, but I've redrawn all the panel lines, added some rivets, made various and sundry enhancements to the skin; made several changes in the data, loadout and cockpit inis. A new N-3 gunsight tga has also been included.
 
The skin represents aircraft from 356th Fighter Squadron, 354th Fighter Group "The Pioneer Mustang" unit circa 1944/45 (pre-invasion striped, or post invasion striped -whichever you deceide!). I've heavly researched this unit, and as best I could, tried to match photos of the nose art. Where data was available, the actual serial numbers have been used. All others are C model serials, but I make no claims to if they actually served in 356th. Some of the nose arts are 'interperative'; meaning I did them in the best way I could to get them to fit on the aircraft. Some are in the 99% acuracy range, so I think you all should be pretty happy with them. You'll have squadron codes and individual letters for 26 aircraft
 
You'll also find a new "MustangC" hangar screen, I created just for this mod, and ONLY available with it!!!
 
==NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK INSTALLED FOR PROPER WEAPONS LOADOUT!!==
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions, plus comments and notes that you might find interesting.
 
Happy Landings!!!

F-104S ASA M 4° Stormo, 20 °Gruppo
 
In mid '90s Italian Air force abandoned the traditional NATO tactical camouflage for the air superiority gray, now in use as a standard paint scheme. ASA M planes were intended to be pure interceptors and air defence fighters.
 
The squadron insignia is the Prancing Horse used by WWI ace Francesco Baracca and it's named after Amedeo, 3rd Duke of Aosta, commander of the Italian Forces in East Africa, during WWII. The Gruppo insignia is a lion with the motto "Unus sed leo" (one, but a lion). In '99 it operated CAP mission during Operation Allied Force.
 
This skin is for the F-104S-ASA M mod available on Combat Ace and you'll need both JET-Z S/ASA mod available on his site (http://www.12packproductions.com/JetZ/index.html) and the original F-104G by Third Wire.
 
Installation instruction in the readme.txt included.

F104G 3° Stormo C. E. Buscaglia, 28° Gruppo
Operation Ace Guard 1991
 
On 21 December 1990 3° Stormo received the order to deploy six planes, in recce configuration, to the forward turkish base of Erhac as part of the NATO coalition, during the 1st Gulf War. Between 6 January and march 1991, in rigid weather (up to 25°C below zero) and uncomfortable conditions, the RF-104Gs flew over 300 sorties patrolling the turkish southern border.
The planes were painted in the standard NATO tactical scheme with low visibility markings.
 
The squadron insignia are four cats (of the former 278° Torpedo Bomber Squadron) and it's named after Carlo Emanuele Buscaglia, commander of a torpedo squadron during WWII. The squadron has been disbanded during the '90s and 28° Gruppo "Strega" (Witch, from the callsign used during the war) is now part of 32° Stormo.
 
This skin is for the original Third Wire F-104G model only. Installation instructions in the readme.txt included.

This is a pack of Loading/Hangar Screens for the IRIAF F-14A's. Please read the readme. Enjoy!

This is a mod for better F-14 afterburners. The ones featured are from the F-16XL. They look a little more realistic, to me at least.
Please read the readme. Enjoy!

Spanish country specific aircraft for SFP1/WoV/WoE, repaint from Stock files by Thirdwire.
 
Starfighters arrive to Spain in 1965 as a part of the USA international help. Starfighters was first modern Mach 2 fighter in Spain, as Sabres were first line air defense. Only arrived 18 aircraft to Spain, plus 3 twoseaters. Serials for all that 18 aircraft are included. Starfighter served for 7 years only, when was transferred to others Air Forces. Then were replaced by F-4C´s (also uploaded my Spanish F-4C). Spanish were the only Starfighters operated in the world that never had any accident during its career.

Notes and limitations:
 
The AGM-142A, AGM-142B, Popeye 2 missiles are TV/IR guided via a data link that transmits the nose view of the missile to be manually guided by the pilot. However, the TW engine doesn't simulate this combination, so I made the missiles laser guided with the 'Data Pod' a laser designator. This realistically simulates the need to carry the pod in order to be able to use the missiles (assuming the aircraft doesn't already have a laser designator). Therefore, to carry the pod, you need the weapon station to be able to carry LP, and LGR for the missiles.
 
Right now, the other users of these missiles besides the USAF is Israel (who developed the missile) and the RAAF for the F-111.
 
I have included the paint template for the missile if you want to tweak the paint scheme.
