SF/WO* Object Mods

The SU-85

T-34 85, possibly the best tank from the ww-2.
He added a 88 mm cannon of the 85 mm was not too precise. In tests earned him the Sherman's.
Model freeware in the more extensive use of the word free, if they want pink paint can.

This is a working Scud launcher and missile , hope you all find some use for this .

For use on WOI with recent April patch only.

Here are the missing smoke TGA files for those of you who already downloaded the waterinjection for the BUFF and B-47. Sorry about that!

Forgot to include the readme file :(

- New exhaust emmitters and a water injection feature for the B-52s and B-47.
The power settings on the engines have been adjusted to reflect the extra thrust
gained from employing it.
 
- New sounds, featuring an actual B-52 taking off with water injection.
 
- New lights and "Pride of the Adirondacks" decals for B-47
 
- New lights code that can be added for the B-52G.
 
- B-52s spaced out on the taxiways so they're not hanging over one another.

This is the M270 MLRS used by many countries since the 1980's to present date .

Don't know how this one got overlooked...but here it is.

With thanks to Pasko for creating these, and whom ever did the PRC tanks... btw, it's a really old screenshot...

<< "I spotted an afterburner plume at twenty miles." >>
 
This is the only quote I recall from a Vietnam War air combat book I read back in hi~school and I forgot the title and author. The author spotted the afterburner at night, against the stars if I recall, and said it was a MiG-21. They (F-4 crew) locked it up and downed it with a Sparrow.
 
The VOLCANO MOD attempts to address, or bring attention to, a long missing feature in all combat jetsims: long distance visibility of afterburners especially at night. To do this, we oversize the afterburners as the sim, along with every jetsim it seems, does not model the brightness intensity of afterburner plumes. The same philosophy was used in sizing the recent 3D Rocket Exhaust effects, making larger flame plumes optional for missiles on a sliding scale of selectable effects sizes.
 
With the smaller of two oversized afterburner systems here, I can just see a MiG-21's pixel sized R-13 afterburner flickering from a little over 20 miles using 30 degree field of view (FOV) and 1280x1024 screen resolution. I believe that higher resolution would allow longer visible distance for any given FOV. The full size screenshot shows very late twilight F-106 AI squadron takeoff to the South, using the smaller size afterburner system. The yellow arrows point to aircraft in full afterburner following the AI leader.
 
The VOLCANO MOD uses specific engine names in aircraft DATA files. Any engine afterburner can be done at any time with a simple calculation. A list of engines currently modelled here and simple formulae for calculating their afterburner data are in the instruction file. These are some of the engines that will be of use in a mythological strategic strike/intercept campaign (Siberian Sky), and include engines that were used, or could be used, by Strategic Air Command (SAC) and manned Soviet Air Defense (IA-PVO) from the 1940s to the 1960s.
 
ThirdWire thread discussing grafix for classical era strategic air warfare: Volcanos erupt on page 3 ~> http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=4964
 
"VOLCANO" was a name used by one or two of our Old Timer SF simmers some time ago who poked fun at an early experimental closeup cameo screenshot that I poasted (it looked pretty bad). The name stuck.
 
 
v1.01--------------------------------------
*** ADDED TO INSTRUCTION FILE, but the replacement Zip file does not seem to upload here. So...
 
Grafix position of the afterburner may need to be changed to taste. This is done by changing the vector ExhaustPosition=[x,y,z], where...
-x is left, x is right.
-y is back, y is forward.
-z is down, z is up.
The numbers are in meters. I prefer the burner flame as close to the nozzle as possible, but without interacting to cause flickering of nozzle/flame.
--------------------------------------

It seems that somehow, the D-20 152mm gun got left out of the Pasko Paks..so, here they are.
 
There's 2 versions, D-20 (which is just desert tan) and D-20_E (which is Euro Green-ish)
 
See the enclose readme for super easy install instrucitons

*** Note added August 2013: Decrease the particle generation rate in case of slow flying launching platforms, such as helicoptors or WW2 fighter bombers, to avoid too high density of smoke particles which look bad.

June 2010. Updated to include the ancient Smoke3.tga. I had always thought this was game stock. I was wrong. Somebody, I don't know who, made the Smoke3.tga for the old Weapons Pack but that pack seems not used much today. So I include it now, finally.

I'm using 7zip as file compression. I first saw it at Column5's Cold War downloads pages, so I tried it and love it.

This project is part of a planned series of grafix effects that may be used in an attempt to simulate classical era strategic strike/interception (Siberian Sky).
 
In 3D Rocket Exhaust, large numbers of 2D images combine to form 3D flame and smoke trails. The goal is immersive smoke/flame seen from the cockpit, and long range visibility of flame (night) and smoke (day). There can be a cpu performance hit with large numbers of missiles firing off within the defined MaxVisibility distances. Description, development, limitations, and possible employment or improvements of this and future grafix effects are at the ThirdWire webboard thread below...
 
ThirdWire thread ~> http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=4964
 
PROJECT USE PRE-REQUISITES:
(1) Know how to work the sim's weapons and the Weapon Editor. This editor and some basic tutorials are found here at the CombatAce.
(2) Know how to work the Cat Extractor to extract encrypted text files for editing. This extractor is found here at the CombatAce.
 
-----------
 
V 1.11 has Smoke3.tga included.
 
V 1.1 has...
(1) One additional step smaller rocket exhaust effect, and two effects for smaller unguided rockets -- U1 and U2 are made with greatly reduced particle density in expectation of large rocket volleys.
(2) Better naming system .... R1 (the new smallest effect) to R8 (the old R7 of v1.0).... also U1 and U2.
(3) Hopefully better instructions.

By request
 
I will upload the ini's I changed to make a Danish Draken with an extra gun and 4 more hardpoints, this is just the ini's and I have planned for releasing a complete aircraft later without lods.
 
You will be needing the J-35F and the Danish skin for the Draken availlible here at the download section.
 
Have fun

First Eagles Medals Pack v1.0
===================
 
This is an add-on for Third Wire's WWI flight sim, First Eagles ("FE"). The stock FE has a number of limitations on the award of medals (there were only a few medals for each air service, and they could only be won once). This meant that after a short time in service, any pilot you had created in FE could not win any more medals, no matter how successful a mission you flew. I wanted to change that, to provide more medals, and so that a successful mission will bring a medal, even if you have previously won that medal. This package will work with either the stock FE, or FE with the Expansion Pack installed.
 
The medals which will now be available in FE are as follows:
 
British medals (Royal Air Force and Australian Flying Corps):
Victoria Cross
Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG)
Knight Commander of the British Empire (KBE)
Distinguished Service Order
Military Cross
Distinguished Flying Cross
Military Medal
Victory Medal
Silver War Badge
Croix de Guerre
 
French medals (French Aéronautique Militaire):
Legion of Honor (Légion d'Honneur)
Military Medal (Medaille Militaire)
War Cross (Croix de Guerre)
Combatant's Cross (Croix du Combattant)
Verdun Medal
Wounded Medal (Insigne du Blessé Militaire)
 
German medals (Imperial German Army Air Service):
Pour le Merite (Blue Max)
Order of the Red Eagle
Royal Order of Hohenzollern
Iron Cross 1st Class
Iron Cross 2nd Class
Military Merit Cross
War Merit Medal
Wound Badge
 
US medals (US Air Service):
Medal of Honor
Distinguished Service Medal
Distinguished Service Cross
Citation Star
Victory Medal
Purple Heart
Croix de Guerre

Hello All,
finally, here is my Lynx m113. There may be an improved version later, as I am not 100% happy with the skin.
 
Used by both the Dutch and Canadian armed forces. It is a light reconnaissance vehicle, smaller than the M113.
Hopefully this comes in handy with some future missions/campaigns(especially NATO stuff).
 
Please feel free to use, but give credit where credit is due. Do not use in any payware, etc without consent from me.
 
Installation is easy. Unzip into(or onto desktop, than transfer) your groundobjects file and it is ready to be used.
Any problems, please contact me through the board, or consult the FAQ at combatace.
 
Enjoy!

This Mod changes the default formation around so that when you're a two ship, #2 is correctly on the right side of you. It also puts him out there a little bit in more of a cruise type formation, not too close.
 
Other formation changes are to wall and box formations, making them more useful. You will want to put your flight into one of these two formations in the high threat areas to maximize maneuvering and lookout potential.
 
Wall formation is a "loose deuce" formation for the two ship (section) and line abreast for the four ship (division). Spacing is about half a mile between planes. This is technically too close, but the spirit is there, and also most of the usefulness, without you losing sight of #4 completely.
 
Box is now a staggered trail formation with lead and #2 in loose deuce and #3 & #4 behind the lead section about a mile, offset to the right. Enemies who see and attack the lead section will turn in front of the trail section.
 
I added two formations, replacing "arrowhead" (useless anyway) and the "turn radar on" command with "High cover" and "Right Echelon", respectively. Readme for more details.
 
For those of you who downloaded version 1.0, please download this one and replace it. The added commands weren't referencing correctly.
 
Thanks to Drdoyo for getting me started.
Sixgun out.

ZSU-23-4 Pack
**********************************
This is just a pack with 4 different types of
ZSU-23-4 that will give you a hard time.
Bad News for Helos and A-10's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe Harriers...............
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Types:
# ZSU-23-4 (1964): pre-production and then initial production models.
# ZSU-23-4V (1968): minor modifications.
# ZSU-23-4V1 (1972): more minor modifications.
# ZSU-23-4M (1977): one extra ammunition panier on turret exterior (now three), added an armoured cover for the guns, upgraded fire-control computer to digital, "Gun Dish" radar can operate independently in search mode rather than only slaved to the guns.
 
These have radar!!! So your aircraft (with RWR) will have a radar warning because
the ZSU-23-4 is tracking you down. If you are in 4 miles or less....
You are screwed... Man aren't you screwed. Just because you have ECM does mean you are safe.
It will still shoot you!!!!! So just take it out or you are dead. Plus
the tracers are set at 1 so you can have bullets in the sky. In night time the
sky fills up with light.

This mod enhances the anti-collision and landing lights for the A-Team's VulcanB2. I've also added lights to the cockpit to illuminate the instruments, which helps with instrument flying at night.
 
Many thanks and credit to the A-team and their contributors for producing the Vulcan B2 add-on aircraft and also for granting me permission to post this related mod. If there are any problems with this mod then please contact me directly, not the A-team. Thanks.
 
Copyright information and installation instructions are included in the ReadMe.
 
Regards, comrpnt.

This is a mod for better F-14 afterburners. The ones featured are from the F-16XL. They look a little more realistic, to me at least.
Please read the readme. Enjoy!

This is a major update and extension of my "Enhanced Explosions" effects pack.
 
If you've been using original Enhanced Explosions, you know what to expect -Hollywood style cinematic explosions, created to give TK's sims
a blast. Also I still enjoy old "Jane's ATF" very much, and I missed some of it's spectacular fire in the sky lately.
 
New stuff included is mostly about ground strikes and various air2ground weapons effects.
