This is a fictional F/A-18 skin based on the 73rd TMMC Tactical Fighter wing from my up coming short story. I want to Thank littlesmoke for helping me with this skin and to the makers of this aircraft!

May as well post this skin , it's the one that goes with the screenshot i originally posted with the "Grey" F15C skin . All other details remain the same.

See "Aggressor" for details. Oops posted wrong screenshot with this , here's the correct one.

***************************** 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.

First Eagles Expansion Pack 1 Squadron Editor version 1.0
 
For editing squadron pilot data in campaigns. *Works only for the Expansion Pack 1 version of First Eagles.* For early versions use my Squadron Editor v0.6. With the release of the FE Expansion Pack, Third Wire changed the file format of the campaign game save, thus this seperate version.
 
This editor consists of a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet with embedded Visual Basic Macros which allows easy editing of the *.SAV files. You can edit the following:
 
Player Pilot
Name
Rank
Air and Ground Kills
Missions
 
AI Pilot Names
Rank
Air and Ground Kills
Missions
Pilot Characteristics (Skill, Experience, Morale and Condition)
Pilot Status (Active, WIA, MIA, POW, KIA)
 
New: You can set Pilot Experience up to 250 instead of just 100.
 
**NOTE: You must have MS Excel 2000 or newer. Sorry, I don't have the programming skills necessary to create a seperate program.

************************ NOTE! NOTE! NOTE! *********************************
 
Version 1.1 has significant changes. Please read it fully! If you have the previous version of this weapon, allow all overwrites when copying the 'Objects' directory, and 'cut and paste' the Weapondata.ini entry to get up to date on the newest changes.

Version 1.1
 
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.
Capun - For helping me fix the SA-5 booster issues...I owe you two!!
Fubar512 - For revising the SA-5 Weapondata.ini entry to more challenging values.
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 03 Oct 07)
 
Notes and limitations:
 
The SA-5 in reality is a very big, long range SAM that's made to kill high altitude, slow manuvering targets. However, the TW engine may not support such a long range SAM.
 
And, though I didn't make one, there was a version of the SA-5 with a nuclear warhead! Maybe something you'll want to play with...
 
I have included all the texture templates along with the reference materials I used to build the models. Note there were several paint schemes...plus pictures of missiles in various states of repair. The templates should make it easier to make paint schemes for specific theatres...and to make better skins for the launch rail and Square Pair radar.
 
The Square Pair radar was VERY hard to find pictures of (I only found 2) so the model is very basic and most guesstimating.
 
I have included an experimental Barlock_data.ini file. It's a beta test of using the Barlock as a EW radar for the SA-5/Square Pair system...allowing for possibly VERY long engagement ranges for the SA-5. Just copy into your Objects/Groundobject/Barlock directory. Use at your own risk!!

WW2 RAF Speech Pack v1.0
Compiled by baltika
 
Courtesy of Microprose's European Air War
and Jane's WW2 Fighters
 
Thanks to Deuces for his Wingman Sound Mod which inspired the bandit calls in this mod.
 
 
Installation:-
 
Contents of "Speech" folder go into your Strike Fighters/Speech folder, overwriting existing files.
 
SPEECHSYSTEM.INI file goes in your SF/Flight Folder.
 
Backup your Speech folder first if you think you might want to go back to your Yankee wingmen ;-)
 
 
Known issues:-
 
There are a few anomalies, as exact matches for every phrase were not available.
 
In particular, wind direction and heading calls are borked in this mod. Instead, you get Jane's wonderfully bad-tempered Control Tower telling you to get a move on and clear the runway. This may sound odd when you are coming in to land, but just imagine he's chewing someone else out to let you belly-flop your badly shot-up Spit onto the main runway.
 
Also, TK's call-sign system is incredibly detailed and could not be re-created properly with the resources available. If Top Hat Control (none of your Red Crown nonsense here) answers Red One by calling him Victoria Leader, I'm afraid you'll just have to live with it. Or, you could start recording all 140 call signs in six different but appropriately accented voices. Then name the resulting files accordingly to fit into TK's scheme. If you think it's worth the effort ;-)
 
And do Fence Check, Rifle and Shotgun belong in WW2? If so, what do they mean?
Come to think of it, what do they mean anyway?
 
 
As ever, feedback, bug-reports, suggestions welcome.
 
I'll be lurking around at combatace.
 
 
Tally-ho, chaps! Jerry at nine o'clock low! Let's get those blighters!

Here is the other one guys as promised! This will be the first of three ocean camo patterns I will release on Zurs F/A-37. I want to thank Zur for making the aircraft for us, and I want to thank deadhead for his skins, as I used them as a template. Just drop it in your Talon folder and enjoy!

Well here it is as promised guys! Just drop it in your Talon folder and enjoy! I want to thank Zur for this awesome aircraft, and Deadhead for his skins, as I used them as a template. if you have any requests I will try to do them as long as they are within my limit as a beginner.

Here they are. Repaint as you see fit just give credit where it's due.
 
You may NOT use these for commercial projects without my prior permission as these are shareware. You may upload skins created with these templates as part of any shareware package or mod just please if you upload somewhere else let the community here at CombatAce know with a post, or share them here too.
 
Enjoy

************************ NOTE! NOTE! NOTE! ***************************************
 
This update has made several changes, including additional weapons and a data pod. The readme has been revised heavily! If you have the previous version of this weapon, there are changes to the inis of the original AGM-142A and B. Recommend substituting the AGM-142 weapondata.ini entries you currently have for the entries listed below.
 
Please read this readme carefully to note the new changes!

Version 1.1
 
Thanks to the following folks:

Copy of SFP1/WOE/WOV patched to the latest standard (as of 03 Oct 07)
 
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.

******************************** 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.

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 11 Oct 07)
 
Optional: A hex editing program and/or a graphics editing program (Paint Shop Pro, GiMP, etc)
 
Notes and limitations:
 
I have included the reference materials I used to make the weapons. And for advanced modelers, I have also included the skin templates if you want to make your own or improve on mine.
 
Here is which racks go with which weapons:
 
Brimstone - Brimstone 3-pack
AGM-114A - M-272, M-279, M-299
AGM-114F - M-272, M-279, M-299
AGM-114L - M-272L, M-299L
 
The reason the L model needs a different rack is that ATRs cannot carry EOGR weapons, so I had to make TLR versions of those racks. Don't mix them up when building your loadout files.
 
Aircraft weapons stations must have ATR,LGR to be able to carry the AGM-114A and F models...and have TLR,EOGR to carry the AGM-114L and BrimStone missiles. The A/F models require a laser, while the L and Brimstone are radar (we use GPS as a substitute) guided.
 
Paint schemes are approximations. The HellFire has a LOT of different varients in schemes, so I went with the most reasonable. Early HellFires were very olive drab...however, recent pictures show almost a blue/black appearance. Brimstone test articles were very bright colored...the real thing seems almost an off white.
 
For multi-pack carry, if the TW engine finds a multi-rack that is listed eariler in the Weapondata.ini that can carry the missile, it will use that rack instead. You may have to fiddle with your loadout.ini files to get it to use the right rack.
 
The BrimStone racks appear to angle down...the pictures of it I saw on the Tornado showed different angles...and some other mountings showed parallel. So I compromised and gave it a slight downward slant so it won't look real odd on different aircraft.
