F4F-3 Wildcat Modification for SF/WoV/WoE Updated 12/16/08
 
---------------------------
NOTE: for some reason, this mod never made it to the CombatAce downloads, although it's been available at my site for some years. HOWEVER -- this is a revamped, more polished version with redone skins, all NEW decals and some more slight tweaks to the inis. If you have the earlier version, it's suggested you delete it, in it's entirety. A very odd thing for me to be saying! The F4F-3 Pak at my site will also be replaced with this newer, nicer one. For comparisons, I've left the original screenshot in, so you can see the difference between The Old and The New versions...
--------------------------
 
This is a mod of Pasko's F4F-4 into the earlier 4-gun, non-folding wing F4F-3 variant, that was in service at the opening of World War 2.
 
This package includes all the inis, various and sundry other bits, and newly revamped 2 skins & decal sets that represent:
 
VF-3 from USS Lexington and
VF-42 from USS Yorktown
 
as seen during the early months of the war (post Jan 1942, after the advent of the 6 position stars, and addition of rudder stripes, during the time of The Fast Carrier Raids), up to and including The Battle of the Coral Sea time frame.
 
This is an INCOMPLETE aircraft mod, as the aircraft LODs and cockpit folder are NOT included!! You will be transfering these critical files from the original F4F-4. New, modified inis ARE suppllied, including a new gunsight tga (and the necessary edits to the cockpit ini.) All lighting on the aircraft are correct; formation, landing and running lights, a seat added for the pilot to rest his ... ah...parachute on and some other very small changes.. A new engine and 'handcranked' landing gear sounds are also supplied, as in a F4F-3 Hangar Screen -only available in this mod!!! A new Pacific Ocean map is also included for the cockpit, as is a NEW pinup :) Damage tgas are here as well, for when you catch a little buckshot...
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed for use in SF/WoV/WoE -ONLY-, It has =NOT= been tested it in post 8/28/08 patch WoI, or post 9/08 - 10/08 patch SF/WoV/WoE. You use it in these enviroments at your own risk. =
 
=This mod is designed for use with the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06, as it contains all the needed weapons . If attempting to use this aircraft with any other weapons pak, you'll need to add ALL the WW2 era bombs, torpedoes, etc. They are NOT included in this package.=
 
== THIS IS NOT A FULL AIRCRAFT - YOU _MUST_ HAVE THE ORIGINAL F4F-4 INSTALLED TO COPY FILES FROM ==
 
As to be expected, clear, conscise, step-by-step install instructions are in the enclosed readme -- so please READ it!!!
 
Good Hunting!

F4F-3 Wildcat Skin for SF/WoV/WoE Original Release: Nov. 10, 2005, Updated 12/18/08
 
VMF-211 "Wake Island Defenders"
 
(looks like this is yet ANOTHER one that never made it here to CA!!!)
 
==UPDATED 12/18/08!!!!!==
-From the Original Readme:
 
This skin represents the 12 Wildcats from Marine Fighter Squadron 211, during the Defense of Wake.
I must apologize for the doubts I have about historical accuracy, as the 3 artworks and 2 photos I have or have seen, the only numbers visible are "8" and "11". So I made the assumption that aircraft 1 - 12 were flown off one of the carriers to reinforce the Marine garrison. If this is incorrect, I extend my apologies to any of our Marine brothers and sisters out there playing this.
 
The placement of the numbers on the upper wing, nose and vert tail is as of my research on the other -3 skins I did, for the approximate same time period. As none of the art or pics showed the tail, I safely assume this is correct.
 
And as today is the 235 Birthday of the Corps, this is my way of saying "Thank You" for almost 2 and a half centuries of service to our Great Country
 
Semper Fi!
 
--Update Info:
 
This package will replace, in it's entirety, the VMF-211 skin released in 2005.
 
The update includes a completly REDONE skin, based off new templates I created for some other Wildcat mods, ALL new decals (of the correct font and size) including BuNums and the aircraft name tag on the rudder.
 
-= NOTE: You MUST have the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06 to get the WW2 weapons and guns and such =-
-== This aircraft has been tested in SF/WoV/WoE and post-patch WoI (8/08) as well as post 9/08 & 10/08 SF/WoV/WoE. There still are some 'issues' with prop-plane flight models, but there has been a MARKED improvement!! You use it in these Post Patch Environments at YOUR own risk ==-
 
As usual, there's a nice conscise ReadMe for you to NOT ignore...so please read it!!
 
Expect the full version of the -3 'cat to appear very shortly...

This is my first upload to the website, and my first try with modifying skins so it's very basic.
I took mppd's base worn F-4E skin, and added a decal file for an Israeli "Toad". The "Toads" were phantoms received from the united states during the 1973 war, and because the lack of time, were not painted in the usual Israeli camo. israeli markings were applied on the original camo, sometimes while the American markins were still on.
It's not a 100% accurate skin, because i don't have info about accurate squadrons and numbers, so just choose any squadron you want in WOI and it will work just fine with this skin.
 
i have tested this skin in WOI only. Just drop the skin folder in the stock WOI Kurnass and fly away.
 
Thanks to mppd for the permission to use the skin and to upload it on the website.

This skin depicts Harold Fischer's F86 'The Paper Tiger',one of the few Sabres to have a shark mouth applied to it. Capt Fischer was assigned to the 39 FIS out of Suwon.Korea and ended the war with 10 confirmed Mig kills.I used the basic Silver Saber skin from Scandy's Skins which I thank them for and hope they approve and also a lot of my own Photoshop work it seems like it took forever to paint that shark mouth it's not the best but it is the best I could do.

Hi everyone
 
I used the great Mirage 2000-D from Amokfloo to make a Mirage 2000-N (Nuclear) flown by the EC 02.004
 
"La Fayette" based at Luxeuil-St Sauveur afb (France).
 
The Mirage 2000-N are designed to carry ASMP nuclear missile, but they could also carry common bombs.
 
I didn't choose this option, because the Mirage 2000-D is pretty efficient to accomplish those strike
 
missions. So this is an EXCLUSIVE nuke launcher.
Feel free to modify the loadout as you want.
 
INSTALLATION:
 
- Drop the Mirage 2000N in your "Aircraft" folder
- Drop the France2.bmp and France2.LOD in your "Aircraft" folder
- Drop the M2NWing.bmp and M2NWing.LOD in your "Weapons" folder, add the line to the Weapondata.ini,
 
and make the usual stuff with the WeaponEditor.
- The ASMP nuclear missile is already is the latest weapons pack, so you don't need to add it.
 
(Seat switching in Cockpit with the "Gunsight Mode Toggle" Key (Caged mode is the back seat, there you
 
are at beginning of the mission!))
 
PS: I quickly repainted the France1 pilot, but I don't remember who it belongs to, so sorry for that !

This mod neutralizes the glove wings on the B and D versions of the Tomcat because only the A version has them.
Also this makes the stabilizers help the spoilers with the roll control.
Back up your F-14B/D data files.
 
Simply drop on your F-14B/D folder
 
Happy hunting!!!

T-10M

v1.0
 
This mod will enhance the WOE Harrier avionics ( some better and little more "real" look)
Also fixed are cockpit gear buttons and the airspeed indicator needle indicating tens of knots
Cockpit position is adjusted and view/aim angles changed to give a better angle for weapon delivery
Additionally, the AV-8A is modded into an early version which used the GR1 cockpit but without
functioning moving map display, only the navigation electronics were used.
The AV-8A(early) and Harrier GR1 have no attitude bars displayed in HUD A2A mode, thats no error.
All data inis have several changes effecting service years and weapon loadout/capability
They are based on WOE Update September 2008 inis in this v1.0 of the mod, but work without any problems in
WOE patched with WOE Update October 2008.

OA-4M Skyhawk
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-HYSTORY-
 
The designation OA-4M was assigned to 23 TA-4Fs that were reworked at NAS Pensacola to act as fast forward air controller aircraft for the Marine Corps. The OA-4M was basically a TA-4F equipped with the electronics of the A-4M, the main US Marine Corps close support aircraft.
The modifications included a ground control bombing system, a KY-28 secure voice system, a canted midair refuelling probe, extra cockpit side armor plating, an APN-194 altimeter, and ARC-159 radio and ARC-114 VHF radio. Perhaps the most visible change was the fitting of the
dorsal electronics hump, neatly faired into the rear of the two-seat canopy. The nose sensor group of the OA-4M was basically the same as that of the A-4M, but the Angle/Rate Bombing system was not fitted, and the laser spotting and tracking window was faired over, since neither
of these were needed on an aircraft which was not to be employed in a pure bombing role.
Some consideration was given to fitting the 11,200 lb.s.t Pratt & Whitney J52-P-408 of the A-4M, but this turned out to be impractical, and the OA-4M retained the J52-P-8 of the TA-4F.
The first OA-4M, BuNo 165294 was tested at NATC Patuxent River, MD in July of 1978. The first squadron to receive the OA-4M was H&MS-52, based at MCAS Cherry Point, NC.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Instalation
 
1-unzip OA-4Mfolder
2-paste OA-4M folder into your Objects/Aircraft folder
3-paste antenas and Va-206 into the Objects/Aircraft folder
4-go fly

This package includes all the files necessary to transforn default summer GermanyCE terrain into fall one.
 
Incuded are all tiles repainted, new tod files and objects graphics.
 
Part of this package is brand new version 2.0 of "Forests and Farms" mod, with added cities and scaled down trees. Also new variables reduce the pop-ups of trees.
 
It's part of a bigger project called "Seasoned WOE", after finishing all four seasons I'll release data files and instructions needed to create true four-seasons Germany terrain.

This skin depicts the F-86 "MIG POISON" flown by Maj James Hagerstrom,of the 67th FBG,out of Osan AB,in May of 1953.I used the basic Silver Saber skin I got from Scandy's Skins along time ago which I thank them for and hope they approve and also a lot of my own Photoshop work.

Falklands War-era Weapons Mini-Pack
 
 
This is a small collection of skins for weapons used in the 1982 South Atlantic conflict by both British and Argentine forces. They are made with the Falklands All-Inclusive Mod by Kesselbrut in mind but, should you wish to do so, you can use them in any mod you like. I have chosen to include new LOD files available via the SF/WO* Community Weapons Pack since some skins are purposely designed for them and will not work with stock FLK Mod ones. However, I encourage you to download the Weapons Pack as it contains literally tonnes of new weapons ready for use.
 
You'll get two skins and LOD files for different AIM-9 Sidewinder missile ("G" and "L") models. The Sidewinder "Lima" model was the latest and newest in short-range heat-seeking missiles in the Falklands War and is responsible for downing over 20 Argentine aircraft in air-to-air combat. It's meant to be available for the RAF Harrier GR.3 and RN Sea Harrier FRS.1. The GBU-123/B (LOD and skin included) is a 1000lb British Mk13/18 free-fall bomb fitted with a Paveway II laser guidance kit. It was used, despite a few early miss drops given crew's unfamiliarity with the system, with great success by RAF Harrier GR.3 aicraft having targets designated for them by ground forces.
 
Argentine weapons included are the French-built Matra R550 Magic I AAM. Aircraft that should be able to carry it are the Argentine Air Force Mirage MIIIEA and Navy - Comando Aéreo Naval - Super Étendard... and last but not least, perhaps what was known as the most fearsome weapon in the combat theatre of operations: the Aèrospatiale AM39 Exocet air-to-surface missile, a weapon that caused severe losses to the Royal Navy Task Force by taking out HMS Sheffield, a Type 42 destroyer, and Atlantic Conveyor, which carried vital supplies for the British forces attempting to re-take the islands. This is the primary anti-surface weapon for the Super Étendard.
 
CREDITS:

Hope you enjoy this mini-pack!

This is a set of rescaled trees for Jan Tuma's tree set mod for Brian32 GermanyCE repainted tiles. You must have Brian32's repainted tiles V1.0 for GermanyCE terrain to use this mod.
 
I have reduced the tree size to a more realistic size to help facilitate sense of speed and scale.
 
INSTALLATION:
 
Install Brian32's repainted GermanyCE tiles. Copy all the files in this package to your WOE\TERRAIN\GERMANYCE folder. Over write when asked.
 
That's it. Go fly.
 
Legal:
 
Permission to rerelease Jan's tress was given to me by Jan. I thank him for his allowing me to release this mod to the community. All terms of use from Jan's mod apply to this mod as this was originally his work. I just merely rescaled / added more trees. For freeware use only.

Introduction
------------
The Atlas Cheetah programme grew out of South Africa's requirement for a modern fighter and strike aircraft in the 1980s. There was a need for more advanced aircraft to attain an edge over the ever more sophisticated Soviet aircraft such as the MiG-23 being supplied to Angolan and Cuban forces in action against South African forces in the Border War. Furthermore, the increasing cost of maintenance due to sanctions and the age of the aircraft used by SAAF had to be addressed. The arms embargo imposed at the time by United Nations Security Council Resolution 418 prevented South Africa from purchasing new aircraft from other countries, thus making an upgrade of existing aircraft the only option. By this stage, the South African aviation industry had reached the level of technical capability to make a large and sophisticated upgrade possible, leading the SAAF to make the only possible decision, to radically upgrade one of the existing types in service.
 
At the time the SAAF's fast jet fleet consisted of Dassault Mirage III (EZ/CZ/BZ/DZ/D2Z/RZ/R2Z) aircraft and Mirage F1 (AZ/CZ) aircraft. Though the Mirage F1s were the most modern of the fleet, having been delivered from 1977 onwards, they were the primary element of South Africa's air defence and strike fleet and to withdraw them for an upgrade would have left an unacceptable gap in its air defence and strike capability. In addition there were already a few successful Mirage III upgrades from which to learn, such as the Kfir and Mirage III NG, so the SAAF's Mirage III fleet was chosen as the basis for the upgrade.
(Source: Wikipedia)
 
This mod, based on Mirage Factory's Mirage IIIE and using (temporarily) the cockpit from the Kfir C7, represents the ultimate evolution of the Mirage III family, the Atlas Cheetah C.

My thanks also go to Anton Dyason from IPMS SA (http://newsite.ipmssa.za.org/) for his permission to use some of his pictures for the hangar screen.

Add-On

This is the Tornado F.3 skin from the Tornado Maintanence school at RAF Marham in Norfolk. Its for the Avsim Tornado F.3, so dont expect the texture to be all that good. I plan to do one for Bobrock's Tornado F.3, well with his permission anyway.
 
Hope you like the skin
