Strike Fighters 1 Series by Thirdwire

Readme for ALARM for SFP1/WOV/WOE (Version 1.1)
 
********************************* Version 1.1 Update List *************************************
 
1. Texture updated and resized.
 
2. If you already have the previous version of these files, just copy the Objects directory into your SFP1 install as per Instruction step 3, allowing overwrites.
 
3. Reference materials included.
 
********************************* 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
 
Copy of SFP1/WOE/WOV patched to the latest standard (as of 03 Oct 07)
 
 
Notes and limitations:
 
The ALARM is a BAe Systems Anti-Radiation missile designed to kill SAM/AAA radars. The real missile has a 'up and over' capability that allows it to descend on a parachute to wait for a radar to light up.
 
The ALARM uses it's own specific pylon...you will see them on the pylon until you fire, then the pylon will disappear.
 
The paint scheme is 'best guess', based on the few pictures available.
 
The TW engine does not support a 'loiter' type missile...so best way to use this weapon is like a standard ARM.

Copy of SFP1/WOE/WOV patched to the latest standard (as of 03 Oct 07)
 
Notes and limitations:
 
The AGM-136A was prototype for a cruise missile that was designed to loiter over a battlefield, then attack a SAM radar when it lit up. Basically, it was a combination a cruise missiles range/duration time, and the AGM-88 HARM ability to kill SAM radars. It however did not proceed beyond prototype stage before being terminated in 1992.
 
The paint scheme is 'best guess', based on the few pictures available.
 
The TW engine does not support a 'loiter' type missile...so best way to use this weapon is like a standard ARM...except with more range.

Version 1.0
 
Thanks to the following folks:
 
TK - For the ThirdWire series of sims.
Bunyap and Wpnssgt - For the original Weapons Pack and their GBU_USAF.bmp file from which the GBU-12 paint scheme is derived.
Mustang - For the great video tutorials.

Copy of SFP1/WOE/WOV patched to the latest standard (as of 14 Nov 07)
 
Notes and limitations:
 
Aircraft weapons stations must have LGB to be able to carry the GBU-12, and LP to carry the Pave Knife. Also, note the Pave Knife was available for only a very few years and was daylight capable only (which can't be simulated in the TW engine).
 
Dimensions and capabilities for the Pave Knife are notational. Detailed information on the Pave Knife pods was VERY hard to find, so the external model size/dimensions/sensor window size/paint scheme is a lot of TLAR (That Looks About Right). Also, this paint scheme was the first skin I've done from scratch...so there will be errors (hopefully, small ones).
 
In reality, only a few F-4Ds and A-6s were wired to carry the Pave Knife. So it's a lot easier to get them in game than reality would specify.
 
The GBU-12 Paveway I model is based on the picture I was able to find on designation-systems.net. It was VERY difficult to find good information on the 500 lb class Paveway I model...most info concerned the 'folding fin' model, which is a Paveway II. I decided to redo the model differently from the stock Thirdwire one, because I felt the stock model was too short and had wrong fin diagrams to be correct. However, the paint scheme was a guess (using the Weaponspack GBU_USAF.bmp as a basis).
 
Speaking of GBU-12 models, this one's fins, because they are bigger, will cause visual conflicts if mounted with one on the center station on a TER. Best thing to do is carry them one to a pylon.

P-47D-25, Generic Post-WW2 Skin for SF, WoV & WoE
 
A "simple garden variety" natural metal skin for Wolf's P-47D-25 'Bubbletop' Thunderbolt.
 
This is a 'representative' skin for the F-47D Thunderbolt, in the post-1947 era, right after the formation of the US Air Force. As they were still a few around for a few years, mostly in the Air National Guard, I thought I'd throw together a little something. Now, mind you, these are NOT ANG aircraft, but should be considered as 'front line', as I didn't create ANG style decals.
The tail serial numbers are actual P-47D serials, just so's your tail fin don't look and feel so neeked.
I've also created the "buzz numbers" so prevelant in the post-war period, and into the Korea War, so this skin set will fit nicely into a "Cold War Gone Hot: 1948" scenario.
 
There are a few changes in the cockpit ini, adding a new sight tga (USAAF Mk.8). Instructions are below, in the "To Install" section.
And, once again, all the lights have correct positions, colors, including a landing light.
A new, WoE style Hangar Screen is also provided.
Information of 'fixing' the loadout problem with the Triple-Bazooka launchers is also supplied
 
== You MUST also have the latest weapons pak to make use of the WW2 weapons.==
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions, along with other notes of interest.
 
Happy Hunting!

P-51D-30, Generic Post-WW2 Skin and Ini Update for SF, WoV & WoE
 
A "simple, plain old garden variety" natural metal skin for Wolf's P-51D-30 Mustang, that uses the "P-51D30_V3.LOD", or in other words, the latest version that's available in the "Planes Pak", to be found at CombatAce .
 
This is a 'representative' skin for the F-51D Mustang, in the post-1947 era, right after the formation of the US Air Force. I did some experimentation with 'paneling'. I just used various verrry light tones of gray to try and create the differing panel sections. The skin itself was created from Wolf's original template, with cleaned up and redrawn panel lines, my 'interperative' rivets, and a new look for the cowl vent/air filter inlet.
The tail serial numbers are actual P-51D serials, just so's your tail fin don't look and feel so neeked.
I've also created the "buzz numbers" so prevelant in the post-war period, and into the Korea War, so this skin set will fit nicely into a "Cold War Gone Hot: 1948" scenario, or even a Korean War one.
 
As everybody knows how I hate to waste good decals, and just for fun, I transfered over and positioned a whole bunch of the various nose arts from other aircraft. So there's something to look at; and most surely against the Regs in the post-war era....there may be some partial or semi-nudidity on some some of them.
 
A few changes in the cockpit ini, added 2 new sight tgas (K-14 AA and AG sights). Instructions are below, in the "To Install" section.
And, once again, all the lights have correct positions, colors, and that nice little retractable landing light lens that Wolf provided for us, in now actually the landing light. --- really, this is the last time I'm fixing it!!!!
A new, WoE style Hangar Screen is also provided, for those wishing to use the aircraft/skin in a CWGH: 48 style install.
 
== You MUST also have the latest weapons pak to make use of the WW2 weapons.==
 
As stated above, there here highly detailed, step-by-step install instructions -- so PLEASE read them, ok???
 
Enjoy!

WOV F-4E replacement SE Asian textures
 
These textures are revisions of the templates graciously loaned to me by Sundowner. As with the F-4D textures, I created, three versions. Provided are "new", "used" and "worn" versions. The textures are 1024 pixel in size, and are intended to be used with my USAF F-4 decal project. A new 370 gal drop tank texture is also provided.

This is the Photoshop template I used to create my F-104G skins. I left untouched most of the layers so you will be able to adjust the weathering to your taste quickly.
Included in the files are the base layers for both standard NATO camouflage and natural metal finish.
 
I've spent several hours creating these files so, if you're going to use them in a public release, just give me some credit for them
 
These files are for the stock ThirdWire F-104G only.

VF-84 "Jolly Rogers" - The Final Countdown, circa 1980
 
This skin depicts the paint scheme in use at the time the movie "The Final countdown" was shot. In 1980 VF-84 participated in this motion picture, which propelled the skull-and-crossbones-adorned F-14's to international stardom. The movie featured a memorable scene involving two VF-84 Tomcats engaging two Japanese A6M Zeros.
 
Installation instruction in the readme.txt included.

Here are three base texture sets in 1024 pixel resolution based on Sundowner's templates (with his kind permission). Represented are "new", "used" and "worn" textures to go along with my USAF F-4 decal set. A matching color 370 gal drop tank is included.

Polikarpov I-16-10 CAF update package for SF/WoV/WoE WW2: PTO installs
 
This little package will upgrade Wolf's cute little Soviet fighter to fit more with current standards of loads, lights and cockpit. You'll be transfering files from another of his WW2 Planes, so make sure you have them installed.
 
I've included a newer version of Wolf's Chinese Air Force skin. The skin has newly redrawn panel lines, 'interperative' rivets added (meaning I claim no historical accuracy for their placement), some weathering and general dirt added. But -- the credit for the original skin is STILL with Wolf; all I did was fiddle with some eye candy bits.
 
This package contains tweeked data, loadout and cockpit inis. The cockpit ini (now called "Rata_Cockpit.ini) is a copy of the one from Wolf's Tomahawk/P-40B, as it has a better look for this aircraft (albeit not perfect, but workable). You will be transfering the cockpit folder from the Tomahawk for use in this aircraft. The ini has had the pilot positions adjusted to match the I-16, plus some 'moves' courtesy of what I've learned from Lexx_Luthor.
 
I have also included a small (25kg) WW2 Soviet bomb, that comes with the Dev A-Team's IL-2, so you'll be using the weapons editor to add this as well.
 
 
==NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK INSTALLED TO GET THE WW2 WEAPONS!!==
=You MUST Also have the WW2 Nations Ini to have the correct nations=

Nakajima Ki-27 "Nate" update package for SF/WoV/WoE WW2: PTO installs
 
This little package will upgrade Wolf's perky little IJAAF fighter to fit more with current standards of loads, lights and cockpits.
 
It includes a 2 skins, a natural metal for 1 Sentai, circa 1939/40-ish; and a Generic IJAAF Green (both revamped from my eariler ones). The skins have newly redrawn panel lines, 'interperative' rivets added (meaning I claim no historical accuracy for their placement), simulated fabric surfaces, some weathering and general dirt added.
 
This package contains tweeked main, data, loadout and cockpit inis. The cockpit ini (now called "Nate_Cockpit.ini) is a copy of the one from AD's Ki-43 'Oscar', as it has the best look for this aircraft. You will be transfering the cockpit folder from AD's Oscar for use in this aircraft (make sure you have it!). The ini has had the pilot positions adjusted to match the Ki-27.

A gritty turbofan engine startup sequence sound sample. Turn your volume UP!
 
Sample(s) found on internet free of restrictions and formatted for use in the sim.

Here's a pack containing three full skinpack for Razbam's excellent Able Dogs. The pack includes:
 
*19 VA-25 AD-6 with full correct markings including the "577" Mig Killer
*24 VA-145 AD-6 with correct markings and correct nose numbers
*24 VA-196 AD-7 with correct markings and correct nose numbers
 
Skins are 1024*1024 and based on mppd's wonderfull template.

6° Stormo A. Fusco, 154° Gruppo - 1970s
This skin depicts the tipical italian starfighter paint scheme used in the 70s, in NATO tactical camouflage with large national markings and big white numbers.
The Squadron was disbanded after the armistice in 1943 and reformed in 1952 as a fighter-bombers squadron, the insignia is the famous Red Devil and it's named after Alfredo Fusco, ace and Medaglia d'Oro al Valore recipient, shot down during WWII over Albania.
 
In 1965 154° Gruppo was awarded the "NATO flying safety" award, totaling 5000 hrs without any accident. Quite remarkable, since they were flying the dreaded Zipper!
 
 
This skin is for the original Third Wire F-104G model only. Installation instruction in the readme.txt included.

C-130H skins by Bib and USAFMTL
Drop into your C-130H folder and fly.
 
I did a low vis drop tank so back up your old one if you want to use it. It goes in the weapons folder (you must use the weps pack to get a weps folder)
 
Thanks to Dels for the plane and the templates.

These two missions, "Death Valley" and "Mountain Thunder" are written for the AmericaNW Mountain Thaw terrain mod I posted the other day, found here; http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=5419
Just unzip and place them in your Missions folder.

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

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

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.
