Strike Fighters 1 Series by Thirdwire

444 "Cobra" Squadron Skin for the Canadair Sabre Mk. 6 Version 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a second version of the same skin. After uploading it the first time, I noticed some inaccuracies. Although this version isn't exact either, I think it is a much better representation of the aircraft.
 
History:
~~~~~~~~
 
Formed at St. Hubert on 1 March 1953, No. 444 Squadron bore the first new number (i.e. which had no war-time predecessor) in the post-war R.C.A.F. Six months later the squadron flew its Sabres overseas on "Leapfrog 4". The squadron joined No. 4 (Fighter) Wing at Baden-Soellingen, Germany in September. Selected as one of eight squadrons of the Air Division to be re-equipped with CF-104 Starfighter aircraft for a nuclear strike role,
 
Installation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You must first have the sabres_v21.zip in order to install these skins. You can download it at:
 
http://www.zur-tech.com/sabres4.htm
 
Unzip the 444.zip to your Objects/Aircraft/Canadair folder. Launch the game and choose "444 Cobra" in the Paint scheme section. Go fly!
 
Note: the Canadair Sabre 6 already comes with a 444 squadron paint scheme by default. You can choose which one you like best.
 
*These textures are 1024 x 1024. You may want to resize them to 512 x 512 to improve frame rates, especially on older computers.
 
**I have also included the fuel tank skin but at this time I do not know how to add it as a seperate tank. Maybe it will be included in a future weapons pack one day. If you want to use the one I have provided, backup your original Tank_f86.bmp in your / Objects / Weapons folder.( You will need the latest weapons pack) Otherwise you will have a silver tank.
 
 
 
Credits:
~~~~~~~~
I would like to thank Sagaunay for some reference material and beta testing as well as Zurawski & the rest of the sabre team for producing such a classic aircraft for all of us to enjoy.
 
Have fun!

The release notes:
 
 
Installation
----------------
 
IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended that you apply this package to a clean installation of Wings Over Europe. Some existing files will be overwritten during the install process! Also, make certain that the 8/30 patch for WOE is installed BEFORE you install NATO Fighters.
 
Unzip the archive you downloaded above and run nfsetup.exe. You will be prompted for the location to install NATO Fighters. MAKE SURE that this is your clean WOE installation. If you install NATO Fighters over an already modded copy of WOE, it WILL break some or all of the mods.
 
The NATO Fighters installation is completely automatic. Once the installation is complete, you are ready to play.
 
 
Description
-----------------
 
Thanks for downloading Wings Over Europe: NATO Fighters! This is a collection of some of the best NATO-themed mods released over the past four years for the Strike Fighters series. I think you will find the expansion of flyable aircraft types, the addition of more allied nations, and the inclusion of numerous environment and visual mods to be a great enhancement to your copy of Wings Over Europe. All new aircraft and nations are fully integrated into the three campaigns, and no additional configuration is necessary to enjoy these enhancements after you install.
 
I must stress that all of the mods included in this pack are already available. This series of expansions simply brings them all together in one place, fully integrates them into the campaigns and makes installation a snap. The goal is not to include every NATO squadron, but a representative selection of units to allow players to fly for nations other than the US, Great Britain and West Germany.

Replacement sounds for GAU-8 Avenger as used by the stock WOE or Wpnssgt A-10A ver 2.0
By superskyshark
 
Contains: Choice of 2 different GAU-8 firing sounds, a soundlist.ini and this readme.
 
Instructions:
 
1. Select either one of the sound files supplied and make sure to name it 'Avenger'.
 
2. Put the SOUNDLIST.INI file inside the flight folder.
 
3. Use the thirdwire gun editor and edit the sound name for the GAU-8 30mm from 'Vulcan' to 'Avenger' and you're done. (Dont forget to set the compatibility mode for the editor if you're on Win XP)
 
 
P.S
 
Be sure to grab bunyap's latest weapons pack and wpnssgt's latest A-10 and the gau8fire effects for improved visuals.
 
Special thanks to fubar_512 for his detailed explanations on changing sound effects.

In support to Operation Desert Storm, Italian Air Force deployed 8 Tornado from 6, 36 and 50 Stormo, operating from the base of Al Dhafra.
 
Enjoy your desert operations!

Here is the Korean Air War Mod Terrain and Campaign Update.
 
My thanks go to TK for such a great sim, FNG2k for his groundbreaking work in this area, and especially Charles, Capun and Gramps (the A-Team) for all their help and support.
 
This is a redone Korea Terrain and Campaign V2.0. I used all new tiles plus got rid of all those "sea mountains"and fixed the water and runways to give them a more 1950's look.
 
Special thanks to Polak for his water mod, which I have adapted for this terrain. I stongly recommend you download and use Polak's sky mod with this terrain as well.
 
Installation
 
1. Delete your old Korea Folder in the Terrain Folder and replace it with this new one.
 
2. Delete the old Korean War Folder in the Campaign Folder and replace it with this one.
 
3. Fly.

RAF F4 Tanker mission for WOE.
 
This mission involves you taking off as a pair of 19Sqn F-4s from RAF Wildenrath and heading North-West to the tanker practice zone.
 
The tanker takes off from nearby Laarbruch - North of Wildenrath.
 
Both you and the tanker have the same tanker-track waypoints programmed into your navigation system so finding the same piece of sky where the tanker is should not be too much of a problem.
 
As there's no radio contact (radio silence on this mission) for briefing purposes you need to know that the tanker is flying at 20,000 ft and a speed of 280kts. This information will prove useful when you line up and start closing on the drogue.
 
Both you and your wingman have the necessary waypoints programmed in to do the tanker track 3 times and then head back to Wildenrath for a touch down. You can fly the whole mission on autopilot if you like. Obviously you'll not rendevous with the tanker if you do it all on AP.
 
The MRTT will also return to Laarbruch after 3 circuits of the tanker track.
 
The overall mission time is about 45 minutes.
 
The weather is set to RANDOM and it's an afternoon sortie (16.00). For more of a challenge set the time to 01.30. The MRTT's lights should come on, including the drogue lights (if you'd included the mod I submitted a while back http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...;showfile=2992).
 
[in case you missed it]
SFP1, WOV and WOE only simulate tanking - you will not take on any fuel during this mission - but it feels realistic enough when your about to hit the drogue!
 
Also, as you're flying as a pair, if you line up behind the starboard drogue (right side) then your wingman appears to line up on the port side. This looks quite realistic when viewed from outside. :-)
 
Hope you like it. Regards, Paul T. (comrpnt).

Strike Fighters "MTO" Mainscreen
=====================
 
Here is a new Mainscreen for a "WWII North Africa/Meditarranean"-style install of Strike Fighters. It is intended for a 1941-44 (or thereabouts) separate install of SF, with WWII aircraft only.
 
There are quite a few North African-style WWII aircraft and skins available in SF now, and new dedicated terrains by Edward, so I decided to do a separate install for them on my PC, to separate them from my WWII Europe install. This Mainscreen is designed to give a MTO flavour. A suitable musical theme for the mainscreen is also included.
 
Unzip the enclosed files into your Strike Fighters Menu folder: \Strike Fighters\Menu
That is all. This menu system (sprites and all) was devised by Major Lee, with some amendments by me, the artwork for the screen is by me.
 
You can use this mainscreen with Kout's great series of MTO-themed screens, (also available from CombatAce) - I do. Just make sure that all of the screens and files in Kout's package are copied to your Menu folder first, then copy the files in this Zip file (and in particular, the files Mainscreen.ini and Mainscreen.bmp) over the top.

After quite a few delays, I am finally releasing my next Hi-res F-4 cockpit:
The F-4E. This one required more work than I expected. There were actually fewer photos of the F-4E panels available on the internet than the F-4B/C/D/J variants despite the F-4E being the most numerous production model.

Strike Fighters "PTO" Mainscreen
=====================
 
Here is a new Mainscreen for a "WWII Pacific"-style install of Strike Fighters. It is intended for a 1941-45 (or thereabouts) separate install of SF, with WWII aircraft only.
 
There are quite a few Pacific-style WWII aircraft and skins available in SF now, and new dedicated terrains by Edward, so I decided to do a separate install for them on my PC, to separate them from my WWII Europe install. This Mainscreen is designed to give a PTO flavour. A suitable musical theme for the mainscreen is also included.
 
The enclosed ReadMe explains it all. Unzip the enclosed files into your Strike Fighters Menu folder. That is all. This menu system (sprites and all) was devised by Major Lee, with some amendments by me, the artwork for the screen is by me.

All Missions found in WOV merged together to add "traffic" and action for random flying or as a background for other missions.

USAF TFW Emblem Pack for WoE v1.0 by Blade
==============================
 
This is my humble contribution to WoE.
 
This little pack adds TFW badges (as well as a few other decals) to WoE's A-10A, F-4D/E and F-15A.
 
The pack contains decals for the following wings: 23rd TFW, 175th TFW, 354th TFW, 355th TFW, 50th TFW, 52nd TFW, 33rd TFW, 36th TFW and 49th TFW.
 
For further info see the included readme file.
 
Have fun.

Updated version of Gramps and Mo gas A-4K Kahu , with 70.dll cockpit and avionics.
Skin modified, Data.ini modified for a more realistic behaviour, new weapons and some minor fixes.
I hope you enjoy.

This is a modification (that was okay'd by Gepard) that adds more targets to his version 1.0 of the Afghanistan map. Right now it is technically a "beta" but it adds a few more targets, CAS areas to the map. Along the days I'll add more here and there, but is considered to be a seperate mod to his terrain.
 
README:
 
Simply extract and put it in the Afghanistan terrain folder, and allow overwrite.
 
Original work done by Gepard.
 
If you have suggestions or locations you may have added, please don't hesitate in contacting me.
 
1.5 Notes:
 
- With thanks to Gepard, Bagram has been upgraded to a LARGE airbase, allowing B-1s, B-52s or other bombers to take off. Remember that to takeoff without crashing, take off from the eastern side of the runway.
- Modern CAS designations. If you want to use more historic designations, scroll to the bottom of the _targets file and name away.
- More targets in more places, be prepared to fly to the interior. Most of the targets are still on the "ring" but a few inside.

Hi,
 
I made this Skin to demonstrate the new painting of huntings F-5E of the Brazilian Air Force, that are being brought up to date for version F-5EM or also known as F-5EBR. They notice who is not perfect.
 
Thanks
