Strike Fighters 1 Series by Thirdwire

J-7FM Fishtail-B
*************
----------------------------------------------------------
I.
 
This is a "What if" plane.
It represent the fictive chinese copy of the fictive soviet fighter plane MiG-23F, without the typical E-8 canards.
A similar plane was intended by the PLAAF under the designation J-7MF. It was a back up development for the J-10, but never came to prototype status, because the J-10 proved good.

The MiG-23MK is fiction, so far that no carrierborne MiG-23 was built in the Soviet Union. But during the 70th the Soviet Navy had a high ranking aircraft carrier programm (Orel or Orjol class). Orel was canceled by Marshall Grechko who favored the Project 1143, the later Kiev class aircraft carrier.
For soviet carrier groups the MiG-23 was the planned interceptor, the MiG-27 the intended strike plane. From both types prototypes were built, as far as i know, and were tested at the Saki facility at the Crimea penisula. With the canceling of the Orel was no need for seria production of the MiG-23MK.
 
*******************************************************

* added working HUD (inspired by the HUD of Marcfighters Su-27 and TK's F-15 and Harrier. Thanks for it!) The HUD is much more improved than in my flyable MiG-23M
* added the capability to carry 2 fuel tanks under the outer wings

F-31G Wirbelwind for SFP1,WOE,WOV,WOI
====================================
 
I. This is my mod of Dels F-31A MustangII for use in the first generation sims SFP1,WOE,WOI,WOV
 
II. I decided to make a german bird (thatswhy G for Germany), because the X-31 project was mostly financed by the germans. I also decided to make a more real life combat airplane instead of a test bird. So i switched of the Trust Vector plates and deleted a lot of ammo capabilities, reduced the thrust of the engine. Changed the afterburner emitter. Made some small changes in Flightmodel. I also choosed the F-15 cockpit which is standard in WOE and WOI.
Some changes were neccessary because some features not worled properly in WOE, WOI, SFP1.
 
III. All credits belongs to Dels who made this fantastic bird or SFP2
 
IV This mod is Freeware. Commercial use is NOT ALLOWED.
 
 
I hope you enjoy this mod.

ROCKWELL/MBB F-31A MUSTANG II Ver 1.0
--------------------------------------------------------
 
By Dels
 
Dated 25th January 2010

MAY BE USED IAW COMBATACE FREEWARE LICENSING POLICY

********************************************************
 
DISCLAIMER
----------
This is a third party add on of the F-31A using a model
and cockpit created by me.
 
It is designed for and works in the SF2 series of games.
 
VERSION NOTES
-------------
I have created this F-31A as if it went into production
and service during the 90's. So it is the F-31A (not X-31)
and the skin is for the 421st TFS, 388th TFW 'Black Widows'
based at Hill AFB.
 
The X-31 had no official or un-official nickname so I gave
it the name "Mustang II". If you don't like it, feel free to
change the AircraftFullName= in the F-31A.ini file.
 
The cockpit of the X-31 was a little too ancient, so I
modified my F-23A cockpit for this F-31A. This is also
what I would expect from an aircraft of the mid 90's.
 
The cockpit has visible pilot legs which were loaned to
me by Klavs81, so all the credit to him for those.
 
I have taken a bit of artistic licence as not a whole lot
of information was available on the aircraft.
 
In addition to wing and centerline drop tanks, I have also
included a special F-31 Dual Rail Adapter (DRA) for use with
IRM's and AHM's.
 
INSTALLATION
------------
Very simple, extract the files from the archive to your
C:\Users\*NAME*\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 folder.
 
Next,
 
You will need to add the following to your Squadronlist.ini
file which should be in your Flight AND Pilot Data folders.
This is so the Unit Names show up. (*NOTE* This is not
essential). Make sure the XXX is replaced with the next
number in sequence in your file:
 
[squadronXXX]
Name=421FS
DisplayName=421st TFS Black Widows
Nation=USAF
 
*NOTE* If you do not have a Squadronlist.ini file in your Flight
folder you will need to extract it from the MissionData001.CAT
file in your Flight folder using the CatPack utility.
 
That's it.
 
You will need Diego's MODUSAF pilot skin for the pilot,
or you can use whatever skin you like by editing the
F-31A_Data.ini file.
 
REMOVAL
-------
Reverse the above steps.

MiG-21 Bison aka MiG-21-93 aka MiG-21 UPG
 
*************************************
HISTORY
*************************************
 
In 1993 the MiG-21-93 made its debut on various airshows, for instance in Le Bourget and Berlin. It was a major update for the MiG-21bis which incorporated a modern radar, a modern data link system and modern ECM capability.
The MiG-21-93 had a dramatically increased combat capabilities. It now can engage air targets at medium range and can use precison guided weapons against ground and sea targets.
India updated its MiG-21bis fleet to the 21-93 standard and called this bird now MiG-21Bison. The bison showed its combat efficiency in various training combats including against american F-15's.
 
**********************************************
MiG-21Bison for WOE, WOV, WOI, SFP1 credits
**********************************************
While making the Bison i used a lot of files made by other modders. Thanks for this files!
 
The plane itself:
~~~~~~~~~~
 
Model by TK
 
 
The Cockpit is taken from Mirage Factories MiG-29A
~~~~~~~~~
 
Cockpit by Mago
 
 
The added objects.
~~~~~~~~~
I took the MiG-23 drop tank to create the longer MiG-21bis style back of the bird. Then i used CIACHOs AKU-58 file to create the chaff flare dispensers
 
And finally my little share
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I edited the Data file to implement the guided missiles, added the ECM and Chaffs etc. And i modified the original Skin to create a fictional East German Bison, the russian and the Indian version.
 
I know that the Indian Bisons are more grey than the light blue, but due the Fake pilot methode i used to place the added objects i had to decide which color this objects should have and so i decided to use a light blue instead the grey.
 
 
I hope that i havent forgotten someone to give the proper credit.
 
**********************************************
INSTALLATION
**********************************************
 
1. unzip into your aircraft folder
The subfolder MiG-21Bison will be created
2. make sure that the following files are placed in aircraft folder, NOT in MiG-21Bison folder:
MiG-21IRWerfer.LOD and bmp
MiG-21Stör
WPact_Pilot.LOD and bmp
otherwise you will see pilots sitting on the wings of the bird.
 
3. Now install the backtank with following steps
 
3.1. Put file MiG-21Back.lod and MiG-21Back.bmp into your Weapons folder
 
3.2. include following lines into your weapondata.ini
 
[WeaponDataxxx]
TypeName=MiG-21bisBack
FullName=MiG-21bis Backtank

RED WINGS OVER DHIMAR
 
Campaign mod for SFG
 
by Baltika
 
********************************************************************
 
 
 
This is a very simple .ini edit to enable Red-flyable squadrons in the stock Burning Sands campaign for SFG. It is tested only in SFG with the Oct 2008b patch, although it should probably work fine in SFP1 as well, and the level of patch should not really be an issue. It WILL NOT work in WoV/WoE/WoI unless you have the stock desert terrain installed to those games, so be warned.
 
Of course, I spent a day putting this together and then found the old Red Wings campaign lurking on a back-up of my old SFP1 mods. I can't remember where this was d/led from, and it certainly doesn't seem to be available now (maybe at avsim?).
 
Anyway, the art of making Red-side flyable campaigns seems to have fallen by the wayside, so it's probably no bad thing that this version be uploaded for all to use. The campaign files will not write over the stock Burning Sands campaign, so don't worry if you have a modded stock campaign, eg with vinman's Burning Sands upgrades.
 
This is a back-to basics mod.
 
I run it on
 
Stock SFG
Patched to October 2008b
 
No weapons packs or anything else. If you have Bunyap's pack installed, you may beed to edit the supply entries for each flyable air unit (in the campaign_data.ini) to get the correct weapons to show up.
 
You will need to make the stock MiGs flyable - but if you are d/ling this campaign, you've already done that, right ;-)
 
If not, you will need to install these pits:-
 
 
MiG-19S Pit by ordway
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6519
 
 
MiG-17F Pit by ordway
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6469
 
 
Su-7BM Pit by Kukulino, modded from boopidoo's Su-15TM pit
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=6159
 
 
MiG-21F / PF / PFM pit by Paladrian
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=1919
 
MiG-21MF Pit by Paladrian
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=1745
 
 
I STRONGLY ADVISE that you DO NOT use the modded aircraft_DATA.inis supplied with some of these pits - they do not incorporate all the FM and AI tweaks to the stock FMs included with the new patch, so you will be busting your MiG down to a previous version if you do.
 
Also, I have not included hangar screens or loading screens for the MiGs, but there are such things available if you want to add them in.
 
I have set up the d/l package so it should be obvious where everything has to go. I have included a new mainscreen and title music, and Badger's Red-side Pilot Record Screen which is definitely Red-side orientated, so do not install the items in the SFG/Menu folder if you want to keep your existing mainscreen and title music.
 
For that full-on Soviet experince, you may want to go the whole hog and install one of the Soviet comms mods available at CA.
 
Any questions, give me shout on combatace.
 
Cheers,

The international situation deteriorates as Soviet Premier Khrushchev and US President Kennedy fail to resolve the Cuban Missile Crisis diplomatically, and the conflict escalates as US Navy cruisers sink Soviet freighters suspected of carrying nuclear missiles to Cuba.
 
In response, forward elements of the Cuban and Mexican Revolutionary Armies launch an assault into Southern California, supported by a massive Soviet expeditionary force.
 
US ground and air forces, supported by UK and Canadian allies, are ordered to defend the American people at all costs. . .

The glorious Revolutionary Army of Mexico comes to power with the full backing of the Mexican people. The new Mexican government joins the brotherhood of international Socialist Soviet Republics.
 
These developments are not welcomed by the American plutocrats, and the US President orders an unwarranted attack on Mexican and Cuban merchant shipping. Many civilian lives are lost.
 
In order to preserve the safety of our citizens, and to free the American people from the oppression of their capitalist rulers, the Armies of the Socialist Brotherhood begin a campaign of freedom into the heartland of capitalism.

May 1942:
 
Defeat in the Battle of the Coral Sea, combined with the Doolitle raid on the Japanese home islands, has shaken Japanese confidence following their earlier whirlwind of victories in the Pacific.
 
Japanese Combined Fleet Commander Yamamoto resolves to draw out and destroy the U.S. Pacific Fleet's aircraft carrier striking forces. His plan: to launch an amphibious attack on the Midway atoll, supported by his combat-experienced carrier-based air forces. The establishment of a Japanese air base at Midway would significantly expand the defensive ring around the home islands.
 
Unknown to Yamamoto, the U.S. Fleet has broken the Japanese communications code, and his battle plans are revealed to the US Pacific Fleet Commander, Admiral Chester Nimitz.
 
 
3rd June 1942, 04:30am
 
The IJN Carriers Akagi, Kaga, Hiryu and Soryu advance on Midway Atoll, launching 108 planes to attack the US airbase there, at a distance of 240 miles to the NorthWest.
 
Meanwhile, undetected by the Japanese, the US Fleet Carriers Yorktown, Hornet and Enterprise are under full steam 215 miles to the east of Midway.
 
Their objective: Find and destroy the Japanese Carrier Strike Force!
 
The Battle of Midway has begun. . .

Alamo 2010
 
Global Terror takes a new twist with the supremacy of Neo-Fascist rule in South America.
 
States bordering the new Fourth Reich are given a simple ultimatum: submit or be obliterated.
 
The National Socialist party sweeps to power in Mexico, peddling a litany of hatred and racism. Blaming the country's woes on its rich American neighbour, the Mexican vassal state of the New Fourth Reich launches a blitzkrieg into Texas. Funded by world Fascism, the latest available technology is pitted against the USAF. . .
 
As the Texicans scramble to defend their state, the battle cry goes out. . .
 
Remember the Alamo!
 
****************
 
 
Confederacy 2010
 
Against the backdrop of challenging world opinion and the continuing war on terror, and the ever-growing clamour following alleged civil and human rights abuses, coupled with growing crime and murder rates on the domestic front, the liberal and progressionist leader of the USA proposes a new Bill of Rights to Congress. Abolishing the Right to Bear Arms and the Death Penalty, the Bill provokes the greatest intellectual and popular debate on the state of the American Nation for 150 years. When the Bill passes the first stage of the legislative process, a powerful lobby of State Governors demand a referendum of the people before the Federal Government proceeds further. The referendum is held, but the result referred to the Federal Supreme Court following a "miscount" in a crucial swing State.
 
The Bill is passed on the authority of the Supreme Court. Allegations of political interference in judicial independence are levelled, but the Washington Administration holds firm. The Federal Government issues an ultimatum: an amnesty for all citizens who surrender their weapons within 30 days, otherwise face prosecution to the full extent of the new law.
The State Governors of Texas, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and South Carolina responded: no citizen shall be required to surrender any weapon, invoking the Second Amendment as interpreted by the US Supreme Court Decision of "District of Columbia vs Heller" 2008 07-290.
 
Washington is unimpressed, citing the authority of the legislative process of the Federal Government. Popular demonstrations in the southern states multiply. As the western world looks on in horror, the Federal Government mobilises national troops to "maintain public order in disruptive States." The State Governors protest that such an order is unconstitutional. As the first Federal soldiers cross State borders, the Governors call out the militias in defence of their citizens' constitutional rights. With emotions running high, the call is answered. . .

Yom Kippur 2010
 
Fictional Modern-day Campaign
 
for Wings Over Israel

The near future. . .
 
 
The peace process in the Middle East is in danger of falling apart. Border clashes continue daily and tensions between Syria and Israel rise to breaking point.
 
Iran continues to flex its military muscle, secretly developing nuclear weapons capability and engaging in a massive build-up of conventional forces.
 
Finally, the flashpoint comes when the Islamic Egyptian Jihad assassinate the pro-western Egyptian President. Revolution sweeps Egypt and a new strongly pro-Arab, anti-Western fundamentalist government takes power.
 
With the main Western powers bogged down in an increasingly bloody and futile conflict in Afghanistan, the world looks on in horror as a new Jihadist coalition of Syria, Egypt, Iran and Algeria launch a full-scale offensive to bring about the obliteration of Israel. . .

Special Thanks to Johan217 for his WoI campaigns expansion files, from which this mod was partly developed.
 
Thanks also to TK for his holiday sale on the older WoX titles, which persuaded me to pick up WoI, long before I get my flashy new gaming rig and switch completely over to the SF2 series. Cheers, TK ;-)

Out of Africa '77
 
The 1st Marine Expeditionary Force is assigned to protect the lawfully elected government of Madagascar from a Soviet-backed Communist insurgency. The self-styled "Malagasy People's Liberation Army" is carrying out a campaign of terror against the populace and openly confronting government forces. The MPLA is a known terrorist organisation which is secretly supplied with arms, equipment and training by the USSR.
 
Meanwhile, North Korea is massing troops on the DMZ. The bulk of USMC forces are urgently required to stabilise the situation in Korea, and the main elements of the CVBG are ordered to make all speed to South Korea.
 
The US Government knows that it is essential to maintain a military presence in Madagascar or the MPLA will seize control. Honoring its commitment to defend Madagascar, VMA-542 'Tigers' and VA-153 'Blue Tail Flies' are ordered to provide Combat Air Support to the remaining ground troops of 1 MEF. 1 MEF is ordered to hold the line against the Communist advance.
 
The supply situation is critical. There is no ETA for relief of the USMC forces on station. Make every shot count.
 
// -------------------------------------------------
 
Red Africa '77
 
The Malagasy People's Liberation Army is heavily engaged in a patriotic war to free the people from the autocratic rule of the current President. The worker's army is opposed not only by the corrupt government troops, but by Imperialist American forces who oppose the liberation of the Malagasy People.
 
The MPLA have two Tank Brigades and a squadron of aging MiG-17 fighters. They are supported by neighbouring Mozambique, whose government is sympathetic to the MPLA cause.
 
Soviet foreign policy dictates that the revolutionaries be given military aid to preserve Soviet interests in the region.
 
The Imperialists must be crushed!
 
// --------------------------------------------------
 
 
I recently re-discovered the utter gorgeousness of this terrain by Deuces and USAFMTL (Dave), with Treemod by Stary, and wanted to do something to say thanks to the guys who made it possible.
 
So, I have completely re-vamped the original "Out of Africa" Campaign included with the terrain d/l to include a fully-fledged "USMC vs Communist Insurgents backed up by the Soviets" backs-to-the-wall defence of democracy on Madagascar.
 
The main reason for the upgrade was to bring the Madagascar terrain.ini files up to speed to support all the various mission types, and to create a full ground war for the 1977 campaign.
 
I have tried to stay as true as possible to the original intentions, I hope this will meet with the author's approval. This is one tough campaign to beat.
 
Full credit to Dave (USAFMTL) for the original campaign concept and core files on which this mod is completely based.
 
Enjoy!

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR VERSION 1.1

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=10341
 
 
ALSO REQUIRED TO ENABLE FLYABLE MiGS FOR RED AFRICA CAMPAIGN

MiG-21MF Cockpit by Paladrian

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:-
 
1. Install Madagascar Terrain, and the MiG-17 "mad" skin from the terrain d/l package. Please note, it is not necessary nowadays to copy and re-name the terrain catfile, just set the catpointer in the terrain.INI file to the correct catfile.
 
2. Install Madagascar Treemod
 
3. Fly around a bit if you like, and wonder at the beauty of it all. Cheers to Deuces and Przemek, thanks guys ;-)
 
4. Install the listed aircraft. You will need to check the Mystere's weapons are in your wep pack. Likewise with the MiG-21SM's missiles.
 
5. If you wish to fly Red Africa campaign, you will need to make the stock TW MiGs flyable by adding cockpits. But, you've already done that, right? ;-)
 
6. Depending on which game(s) you have, you may have to copy out some of the tanks. The required tanks are all in WoE, but do not all come stock in SFP1/SFG/WOV
 
7. Then, and only then, install the various files included in this d/l pack. Overwrite when prompted. I have packaged it up so it should be obvious where it all has to go. You must use the included terrain .ini files or the campaign ground war won't work.
 
8. Select "770114 Out of Africa '77" from the Campaign selection screen, and go fight the Commies.
 
9. Alternatively, select "770114 Red Africa '77" from the Campaign selection screen, and go fight the capitalist Imperialists.
 
10. Drop me a PM if you find any bugs or glitches, or to say hello, or to say thanks for the Red Flyable campaign, if you were one of the 2 people who asked for one ;-)
 
11. The included files are completely compatible with Canadair's Out of Africa 3 v1.5 campaign, so don't worry if you already have that installed.
 
12. And if I may make a personal request of Deuces, or Dave, or even Stary. If any of you guys still have the original TextureList which was used to build the released version of the Madagascar terrain, could you shoot it over to me please? The VN Texturelist included with the terrain d/l is missing many of the required tiles, and I can't create a texturelist from scratch without messing up all the detailed tiling that has already been done. I would really like to add a few airbases, cities, settlements and so forth, and populate the islands, etc, etc, with a view to building a modern-day campaign for this terrain, and expanding the targetlist; but it can't be done without the original texturelist. Thanks again for all the hard work which has obviously gone into this terrain.
 
13. For those with WOE, I have included an alternative campaign DATA.INI file which will use the stock AV-8A as a flyable in place of the AV-8C. Just re-name this file to replace OUTOFAFRICA77_DATA.INI file if you wish to use it. I have noticed, while test-flying Red Africa campaign, that the 08 patch level AI has some trouble flying the AV-8C. It may be that the FM for that bird needs an upgrade to the latest game build level. That is beyond the scope of this mod.
 
 
Happy Hunting!
 
Cheers to one and all!

INSTALLATION OF THIS MOD WILL OVERWRITE THE FOLLOWING FILES, WHICH WILL BREAK THE STOCK INSTALL AND ANY OTHER MODS WHICH RELY ON THESE FILES. BACKUP THESE FILES BEFORE INSTALLATION SO YOU CAN RESTORE THEM IF NECESSARY.

And many others! Check the download package before installing over a modded install! You have been warned!
 
 
********************************************************************************************
 
 
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. Install SFP1/WoV/WoE
 
(For WoV & WoE follow Wrench's instructions to create an era-specific install - see KB at combatace)
 
2. Patch up to v 083006
 
3. Delete all stock aircraft
 
4. Install the DAT aircraft listed above
 
5. Install Wrench's WW2 wep pak.
 
6. Install Gepard's BoB terrain v1.4. For detailed instructions on how to do this, see the readme file for the terrain.
 
7. Copy the Battle of Britain campaign mod files to the relevant folder of your new install. The simplest thing is to retain the file structure and copy the unpacked files over. Items in the Campaigns, Flight, Menu, Missions, Objects and Objects/Aircraft, PilotData, Sounds and Terrain folders go into those same folders in your new install. The options.ini file goes into your main Strike Fighters folder. When asked to overwrite existing files, say "Yes" each time. YOU DID BACK UP THOSE FILES LISTED ABOVE, DIDN'T YOU?
 
8. Copy the file Hurricane-R10D.LOD from the Hurricane1 folder into the Hurricane2A folder.
 
9. Copy all the Spitfire .LOD files from the Spitfire1A folder into the Spitfire2A folder.
 
10. That's it. Battle of Britain should now be available at the campaign menu. Happy hunting!
 
 
********************************************************************************************
 
 
 
KNOWN ISSUES:-
 
1. Finally sorted out the "random movement of air units" bug. That was the main problem which meant this campaign was a beta release. You should now see a lot more air activity on both sides.
 
 
2. Victory conditions.
"Winning" a campaign depends on your Force capturing the enemy Base node. So the best the RAF can hope for is a lose or a stall. No invasion of Fortress Europe in 1940! As for the Luftwaffe, well. . .
 
 
3. The RAF fly a lot of intercept missions, and they're hard. Good luck! Use high energy boom and zoom attacks, or frontal attacks for best results. Try to keep your wingies alive. Remember this is a war of attrition, so kills matter. Ignore Bitchin' Betty when she tells you to RTB, mission failed. Finish off those bombers!
 
As an extra hint, the campaign engine does not fix intercept waypoints very efficiently. If you rely on them, you will not intercept bomber formations until they are on top of their target - by which time it's too late. Use planning map to move your waypoints to show the most direct route between waypoint 2 and your objective point. Then use Red Crown to give you the best vector to your target. Intercept those bombers while they are still out there!
 
 
4. In order to make the phased campaign work properly, I have brought forward the front-line operational dates of certain squadrons (303, 310, 603 and 1 RCAF) to the start of July 1940. This is clearly non-historical. However, having later start dates meant that the timings of the phased campaign were thrown out of kilter, so I chose this as the lesser of two evils.

Burning Sands 1944 v1.0
 
A fictional WW2 Campaign for Strike Fighters Project One
 
by baltika
 
 
 
*****************************************************************************************************************************
 
This is a mod of the stock Burning Sands campaign to take advantage of the many excellent WW2 MTO planes and skins which have been produced by individuals more talented than me. It is entirely fictional.
 
Please note that this download includes the campaign files only. 3rd party planes, skins and ground objects, and a couple of other essential mods, will require separate download. Full list below. But let's face it, if you're reading this you've already got them all anyway. Hell, you've probably got a dedicated MTO install you can drop this right into.
 
My thanks to all devs and modders whose work has inspired this campaign. See Credits.

DESERT TERRAIN CHANGES:-
 
-No more concrete runways. All airfields replaced with the desert airstrip, for a more WW2 look.
-Desert airstrip re-classified as MEDIUM_RUNWAY to allow some of the bigger birds to take off.
-Sam sites, radars, trucks and so on replaced with WW2 equivalents. But ground object placement is a frustrating and time-consuming business so more work is required here. For now, all AAA sites are active in 1944, and most of the airstrips will have a few WW2 vehicles around, including mobile AA units which will fire at you if you get low enough. You have been warned!
 
 
USER INTERFACE:-
 
-Squadron specific intro, victory and defeat screens to add atmosphere.

Or, make a fresh install to run this campaign. Having a dedicated MTO install will probably make life easier. If you have that, you're not going to use it to run stock Burning Sands anyway.
 
Those of you who know what you are doing can copy my squadron list on to the end of the existing squadron list, if you already have a modded SquadronList.ini. You will have to renumber the squadrons.
 
I have simply added more (WW2) target types onto the end of those listed in DESERT_TYPES.INI, so that shouldn't cause any problem at all.

I'm not sure where these can be downloaded seperately. However, if you have downloaded Gepard's excellent Battle of Britain terrain v 1.3, you will have these objects. If you don't have the BoB terrain, this is your excuse to download it from combatace. Otherwise AA fire is going to be thin on the ground in this campaign.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. Install Strike Fighters Project One
 
2. Patch up to v 083006
 
3. Install the latest weapons pack.
 
4. Delete all stock aircraft
 
5. Install the aircraft, skins and ground objects listed above. For detailed instructions on how to do this, see the readme file for each individual item. For the AA units from the BoB terrain, simply copy their folders from the SFP1/Objects/Groundobject folder to the the same folder of your new install.
 
6. Install Charles' WW2 formations mod.
 
7. Copy the Burning Sands 1944 mod files to the relevant folder of your new install. The simplest thing is to retain the file structure and copy the unpacked files over. Items in the Campaigns, Menu, Objects, PilotData and Terrain folders go into those same folders in your new install. When asked to overwrite existing files, say "Yes" each time. YOU DID BACK UP THOSE FILES LISTED ABOVE, DIDN'T YOU?
 
8. That's it. Burning Sands 1944 should now be available at the campaign menu. Happy hunting!
 
 
*****************************************************************************************************************************
 
 
 
 
KNOWN ISSUES
 
1. Some of the third party planes use the "_" character in the name of their install folder when unzipped, e.g. Bf_110E, He_111H6, Me_262A, P_40E. For some reason, my set up refuses to recognise those planes as installed when that character is present. I have all those planes installed in the following format: Strike Fighters/Objects/Aircraft/Bf-110E, Strike Fighters/Objects/Aircraft/He-111H6 and so on (Me-262A, P-40E). I have used that format in the BS1944_data.ini file, so if you find that the campaign does not allow you to select those planes, check that you have installed those planes with the same naming format. If they are different, either change each air unit entry in the BS1944_data.ini file to match the install folder for each plane, or change the name of the plane's install folder to the format used in the BS1944_data.ini file.
 
2. WOLF257's planes are not currently available for download. If you don't have them, use the alternative BS1944_data.ini file provided.
 
3. Skins. I have used the "DefaultTexture=" flag for each unit (in the BS1944_data.ini file) to try to ensure all planes use the appropriate MTO skin. Sometimes planes still show up in ETO skins. I have no idea why. If you are having skin problems, check that the "DefaultTexture=" for each squadron specifies the skin folder in the aircraft folder correctly. Or you could create a specific MTO install where the only skin in each plane's folder is an MTO skin - hint, hint. Otherwise, answers on a postcard to. . .
 
4. Loadouts. If you are having trouble saddling up with the appropriate tank-busting gear or whatever, check that the "AttachmentType=" flag in the Weapon Stations section of the appropriate aircraft_DATA.ini file is specified properly. Bunyap's site has updated DATA.ini files for many aircraft so they work with the latest weapons pack. Or just set it like this, "AttachmentType=UK,USAF,USN" (without the quotes) for the Allies and all will be well. Purists run screaming for the hills at this point. For Luftwaffe the setting is "AttachmentType=Nazi Germany" On the subject of loadouts, if (like me) you want to fly CAS campaign missions in the Hurri 2C (and what else would you do with a wingful of rockets?), go to the Strike Fighters/Objects/Aircraft/Hurricane2C/Hurricane2C_DATA.ini file, and add CAS to the "PrimaryRoles=" flag under [MissionData] near the top of the file. My apologies to the A-team. My excuse is that this is a fictional campaign.
 
5. I know that the RAAF squadron has to be selected from the RAF list. My apologies to our Australian cousins. Apparently the current build of the campaign engine has trouble with the ground war if more than two forces are defined. Take solace in the fact that the Poms can't cope without you.
 
6. If you have any other problems, questions, suggestions or constructive criticism, I can be contacted at Combatace, SimHQ, column5.us and the Thirdwire forums. I can't promise to solve your issue, but talking helps.
 
7. Now, if only someone would make an MTO skin for the Hawker Typhoon. . . ;-)

CREDITS
 
 
 
This campaign is my way of saying thanks to all the modders who have created so many great WW2 planes to enhance the community's enjoyment of this great series of sims. Without all their hard work in producing a wealth of additional planes, skins, ground objects, terrains, weather mods, and all the rest, this mod would, quite simply, not exist. My thanks to all concerned, and indeed the wider SFP1/WOV/WOE/FE community in general who have provided so much information about how this whole bag of nuts and bolts works.
 
And, of course, thanks to TK and Thirdwire for creating SFP1/WOV/WOE/FE in the first place.
 
 
I have included a number of screenshots which feature the work of various devs and modders, and I would like to thank them for their contribution:-
 
The SFP1 Dev A-team (Capun, Gramps, Charles, Kesselbrut and The Wrench) - Planes and skins too numerous to mention. 12 out of the 16 aircraft featured in this campaign.
 
The Wrench (Kevin Stein) - Skins (see full list above) & inspiration. Kevin kicked this off with his Cold War Gone Hot: 1946 suggestion.
 
Pasko - Stuka Ju 87B (Skins by Gramps)
 
Polak - WW2 Ground objects, Sky mod
 
WOLF257 - Bf-109G10 and Fw190

Baltic Entrance Terrain (Ostseeausgang)
*****************************************************
 
This terrain is written for WOE.
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
I. Short description:
 
The terrain covers the baltic entrance, the bottleneck of Denmark which is blocking the free way from the Baltic Sea to the north Sea. You can fly over entire Denmark, to most southern part of Norway and Sweden, northern Poland, Northern east and West Germany and a very small part of the Netherlands.
The terrain is set as a cold war scenario. You will find the NATO with Norway, Denmark, West Germany and the Netherlands as blue power, the WP states GDR and PR Poland (plus soviet bases in this contries) as red powers and the neutral Sweden.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
II. INSTALLATION:
 
Unzip all files into your Wings Over Europe /terrain folder.
Put folder UnimogBW into your objects/groundobjects folder.
 
Thats it.
 
 
Q: What is to do to make it usable for WOI,WOV and SFP1?
 
For WOI open file Osteeeausgang.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
with
CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
 
For WOV open file Persischer Golf.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
with
CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat
 
For SFP1open file Persischer Golf.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
with
CatFile=..\desert\desert.cat
 
Then you must download a tileset which is made for WOE GermanyCE terrain and install into the Ostseeausgang folder. Be aware, that there are some new tiles, so that your terrain could be look something strange.

Su-20 Fitter-C
 
***************************************************
I .Credits
***************************************************
This is a mode of AmokFloos Su-17M Fitter C. Florian, thanks for the permission to use your files.
The Cockpit is the excellent Su-7BM cockpit made by Boopidoo and Kukulo.
 
My little share was to do some modifications of the Data.ini. I deleted the guided weapons, added armour, modified the decoys and made a fictive egyptian Su-20 skin.
***************************************************
II. Su-20
***************************************************
The Su-20 was the export version of the early Su-17. It had simplyfied avionics and was thatswhy unable to use high developed weapon systems. But it had high survival capabilities. The very robust Ljulka engine was able to "eat" some birds and in one occasion a complete pitote tube without to suffer damage. While life firing tests in the USSR the tanks of the swing wing Fitter were rippled by 12.7 mm bullets with the only result, that the technicians found the bullets "swimming" in the fuel.
The Su-20 was used by the Egyptian Air Force during the 1973 war against Israel (Yom Kippur war, Ramadan War, October War)

WOI Panzer Pack
 
This package includes modded versions of TK's panzers of WOI plus a T-34/85 and the israeli version of the T-55.
All of this tanks i gave additionally to the gun an coaxial MG and in some cases Flak MG.
All tanks are now able to defend themself against engaging planes, so that tank butchering now becomes more challenging for the pilots.

Mirage2000EM Egypt
*****************
version 1.1
 
In is version of the Mirage2000EM i have changed the flightmodel to fit in the October2008 patch. With the old flightmodel the Mirage had the tendency to overroll and by using the autopilot to overpitch while landing approach.
With version v1.1 the Mirage200EM had become again a very good dogfighter with acceptable handling capabilities.

MiG-23PFM Fishtail-D Beta
*****************
----------------------------------------------------------
I. History
 
This is a "What if" plane. It was not real, but could have been it if the E-8 development line would not have been canceled in 1962.
Imagine: A lot of MiG ingenieurs did not agree with Mikoyans decision to stop the E-8 program. They made a proposal to use proven elements of the E-8 and the MiG-21PF to start a new project called E-9. Mikoyan agreed and intended to use the E-9 as gap filler till his favored project E-11, the later swing wing MiG-23 Flogger, was ready. In autumn 1963 the E-9 was ready for flight tests. It was a combination of MiG-21PF engine, wings and avionics with a new fuselage, tail and canards. The E-9 was accepted by the soviet air force in spring 1964 and entered the production line in summer 1964 as MiG-23F.
In 1966 the Soviet Air Force demanded to equip the new fighter with state of the art avionics and to increase the range. So the MiG-23 Fishtail got a bigger fuselageback fueltank, a modified vertical tail, a mirror on the canopy. Other modifications are the more powerfull R-13 engine and the Saphir-21 Radar, but in the version RP-23. It is not widely known, that the Saphir 21 was originaly developed for the E-8. Only with a smaller antenna it could be fitted in the MiG-21 as RP-22. The smaller antenna reduced the detection range of this radar by 10 km. An other welcome addition of the PF is the ability to carry one gunpod under the left wing root.
In 1970 the last and most advanced version of the Fishtail was accepted by the Soviet Air Force. New features were the R-25 engine and the big backfueltank. The combat abilities were incresed by a now internal GSha-23 gun, double short range IR missile rails and chaff flare dispensers.
 
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
II.
Known issues. It is still a beta. I know that the flight gear movement is not perfect. I know, that the skin is only a test shot, quick and dirty. etc.
I will try to make it better as fast as possible.

The E-9 was accepted by the soviet air force in spring 1964 and entered the production line in summer 1964 as MiG-23F.
It is equipped in the fashion of that time: No gun, only AAM, unguided rockets and bombs. RP-21 radar und R-11 engine.

Known issues. It is still a beta. I know that the flight gear movement is not perfect. I know, that the skin is only a test shot, quick and dirty. etc.
I will try to make it better as fast as possible.

MiG-17PF of the EAF
 
***************************************************
I .Credits
***************************************************
The basic of my MiG-17PF is the J-5A of Fallout3, which you can find in the Combatace.com downloadsection Modern Era Aircraft/Aircraft of the PLAAF. Fallout3 made a new LOD file, so that an additionally nose section (as in the other MiG-17PF mods) is not longer neccessary.
 
The cockpit is the great MiG-21PFM cockpit made by MAGO & BADGER the BAD.
 
My share of this new bird are modified ini files and a new skin.
I made new data.ini on the basic of TK's stock MiG-17F, so the handling of the PF is similar to the F. I also made a new radar by using the datas i have found in the book "Flugzeuge und Hubschrauber der NVA von 1956 bis 1970".
 
Thanks to all whos files i have used to make this MiG-17PF.

II. MiG-17PF
***************************************************
The MiG-17PF was the successor of the MiG-17P, which was developed by the MiG OKB as a reaction on the radar equipped F-86 Sabre (Project SP). The flight performance of the P was not satisfying, thatswhy a new engine with afterburner was installed. So the PF was born. The PF was the first all weather frontline interceptor of the Soviet Union and formed for a relative short periode the backbone of the all weather interceptor fleet of the Warshaw Pact countries.
In combat action the MiG-17PF was used in the israeli-arab clashes but also in Vietnam. Some american spy planes were shot down over soviet territory by MiG-17PFs of the PVO.
The PF was armed only with 3 23mm guns. In contrary to the chinese copy J-5A the original MiG-17PF had no additionally hardpoints for missiles under the wing. Missiles came later with the gunless MiG-17PFU.
 
This mod represents an egyptian MiG-17PF before the 6 day war.

In the 6-Days War of 1967 Israel captured a lot of syrian and egyptian T-55. This panzers were used in the israeli Army (ZAHAL) up to the 70th and proved as good and reliable combat vehicles.
During the Yom-Kippur-War the israeli T-55 formed the spearhead of Sharons counter offensive to cross the Suez Canal. In combat with egyptian T-55 the israeli T-55 proved superior due better crew training.
