SF/WO* Object Mods

<< "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.

T-64 package
***********
 
This package contains the versions
T-64A
T-64B
T-64BV
 
 
The T-64 was the first panzer of a new generation. He featured a lot of new technology like autoloader, multilayer armour, smoothbore gun etc. long before western panzers could counter it.
His weakpoint were the engine and the running gear.
 
Because the T-64 looked very similar to the T-72 i used the WOE stock T-72 to make the T-64. I modified the texture and the data.ini
 
*********************************
INSTALLATION
 
Simply unzip all files into your /objects/GroundObject folder
 
Thats it.
*************************************
 
T-64 package is FREEWARE. COMMERCIAL USE IS NOT ALLOWED.

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.

T-55AM Panzer of ZAHAL
 
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.

Infantry Squad with Smoke
 
First credit goes to Kesselbrut for his Infatry squad files.
 
Secondly Papa Goat for his "Pop Smoke" idea.
 
I expanded on Papa Goat's idea of using a single soldier with smoke. I basically took the stock US_Squad and Soviet_Squad by modifing the X_Squad_data.ini file to have the smoke deployed.
 
These squads will "throw" fire their smoke at any ground object designated "ENEMY". That way the squad still can fire its normal assortment of weapons and still mark enemy targets.
 
I have tested this on random generated CAS missions in SFP1 and WOV. Anytime a squad is generated during a mission, each squad will deploy their smoke at the nearest enemy target.
 
Mind you, it's not perfect but I think it gives a great effect.
 
I've only built one smoke color for the Soviets. The US squad can select from 4 colors Red, Green, Violet (Purple) and Yellow. You have to manually select the color you want them to use by removing the "//" in the data entry line.
 
Installation:
 
1. Make a back up of the original squads just in case you don't like this mod.
2. Add the two squads to the GroundObject folder.
3. Drop the effects into your EFFECTS folder.
4. Add the bulletobject data to the BULLETOBJECT file.
5. Add the gundata to the GUNDATA file, open the guneditor and click on one weapon, then click SAVE.

This is a Soviet Vehicle Depot. README and INSTRUCTIONS in PDF inside. Enjoy!!!
 
 
 
Ignacioc91

Hi!!!! This is a PATRIOT surface-to-air missile battery. This will act as a README.
 
Instructions:
After extracting the .zip, you'll find a folder called "PATRIOT". It has two .txt files in it.
Copy the contents of the "Copy to xxxxx_TYPES" file to your TERRAIN_TYPES.ini
Copy the contents of the "Copy to xxxxxx_targets" file to your TERRAIN_TARGETS.ini

FOLLOW THE NUMBERING SEQUENCE!!!
 
Required files: PAC-2 SAM system by orsin: http://combatace.com...c-2-sam-system/
 
You'll notice that the battery has two SAM radars and two EWR. That's because the engine identifies the PATRIOT radar and EWR as a ground objects and not as radars. The won't appear on RWR and anti-radiation missiles will not home onto them. In the way I arranged the battery, a homing missile will destroy the generic radar, and, because of proximity, the PATRIOT radar too.
 
Something intersting: http://science.howstuffworks.com/patriot-missile.htm
 
I hope you enjoy it!!!! Questions or suggestions, just PM.
 
Best,

This is a NATO Vehicle Depot. This is an enhanced version. If you have the old one, just delete it and install this one. Instructions in the README pdf included.
 
It has SAMs, but for a dark reason, the may not appear. I hope you enjoy it!!!!
 
There are some new requirements:

M2/M3 Bradley by Kesselbrut: http://combatace.com/files/file/2747-m2m3-bradly/

 
Forgot to say in the README: The original author of the platte is Mitch. This depot must be placed on a flat area, as the plate is a flat objets, the same as with air bases. You should choose a flat area of the terrain, or a previously flattened area using Third Wire's Terrain Editor.

This is yet another iteration of the Mi-24P data.ini Hind-F uploaded by Orsin.
It is based almost exclusively on Gepard's Mi-24D Dora data.ini work. So all credit accrues to him.
On HARD settings the gunship has a tendency to porpoise at speeds in excess of 140Kts.
Simply copy-paste into your Mi-24P folder.

This is simple edit for VIEWLIST.INI thats allow to more zoom and make the fly-by camera zoomable.
 
Put in your "Flight" folder, backup first!!
 
 
Tested in WOE.
 
 
 
 
*Optional: i recommend to eliminate the color cones because when the zoom is too big the cones also makes bigger and at the max zoom him blocks the visual, you can make this editing some lines in HUDData.ini in same folder.
 
Find the line
 
ConeModelName=xxxxxxxxx
 
and erase the value to look like this
 
ConeModelName=
 
Thats all.
 
Sorry for my english.
