Cold War Aircraft

This pak updates the existing Venom FB Mk.4 to the latest patch standards. I've adjusted the decal positions, level numbers, and created a full pak of serial numbers. -- this is NOT a new skin; it re-uses the original bmps, just a tweek of the existing one. New damage tgas are also included.
 
This pak also includes updated data and loadout inis to add the missing drop tanks. All weapons loads are UK nation specific, as per the latest weapons pak. -- you MUST have the latest Weapons Pak installed for use the the weapons listed.
 
Also included is a mod of Kesselbrut's Spitfire cockpit, as this has a nice 'British' feel to it. Several of the gauges have been relabeled for jet use. Cockpit ini is included. (this cockpit is also used on my WW2 Vampire mod) -note: this pit is NOT 100% historically accurate, but is a 'best fit' for the aircraft. Gunsight mods have been included.
 
PLEASE -- READ THE ENCLOSED README for full instructions and notes!!!! -- PLEASE!!
 
Good Hunting & Happy Landings !

North American A3J-2/A-5B Vigilante
 
The A3J-2 (NA-269) was a more advanced version of the Vigilante with more powerful engines, a pair of J79-GE-8 turbojets which allowed for an increase in gross weight to 80,000 pounds.
 
Also included in the A3J-2 was a relocation of the boundary air blowing system to the leading edge droop-section. The flaps were increased in area.
 
Perhaps the most noticeable change was in the rear fuselage, which was deepened from the cockpit aft to the tail, giving the aircraft a distinctive hump-backed appearance. This deepened rear fuselage incorporated extra fuel tanks which increased the range. The two tanks immediately aft of the rear cockpit were enlarged to hold 945 US gallons as compared to the 695 US gallons in the A3J-1, while an entirely new overwing tank straddling the wing center section was added which held 210 US gallons.
 
Two additional underwing pylons were added, making a total of four. The braking capacity was improved and the engine inlet duct area was increased to improve the high altitude performance. The horizontal duct weapons delivery system of the A3J-1 was retained.
 
A batch of 18 A3J-2s were ordered for use in the heavy attack role. Two were actually delivered in this configuration, but in the meantime a decision had been made that the Vigilante was no longer needed in the nuclear attack role and that the Vigilante would now be a dedicated high-speed reconnaissance platform. Four aircraft in the batch were converted to YA-5C, which lacked photographic equipment but was similar to the RA-5C. These four planes were used as trainers for RA-5C. The remaining 12 aircraft were held back awaiting conversion. Eventually, all 18 A3J-2s within this batch were converted to RA-5C configuration.
 
Edit 17 Apr 07 fixed Avionics70.dll
Fixed the RWR

In addition to the previous modifications, this package includes:
 
 
- Similar upgrades made to the new, rescaled Oct. 08 patch. Revised the decal
positions, lights, bombbay arrangement, and exhaust positions so they line up.
Also added some of the same sounds and effects from the previous upgrade.
 
 
- Added a revised placeholder cockpit for the B-52D and F using the Lex method.
I know it's far from perfect so feel free to tweak to your liking:
 
http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.p...35d3cbaddd84f29
 
 
- Fixed the default loadout issue with the external MER racks. They should now
appear on all the BUFFS.
 
 
- Revised some of the skins and added decals for the B-52G & H models.
 
 
- Added a new flight model for the G & H based off the stock D model. It seems to
stablize the nose pitching up and down with the flight leveler on. It also gives
it that realistic nose down pitch the BUFF has. If you don't like this version,
one based on the original is also included.

North American A3J-1 Vigilante
 
In November of 1953, the Columbus, Ohio Division of North American Aviation began work on a privately-funded design project for a carrier-based aircraft that would be a more capable platform for the delivery of a nuclear weapon than the Douglas A3D Skywarrior. The company gave its project the internal name of North American General Purpose Attack Weapon (NAGPAW). The aircraft was to be capable of delivering a nuclear weapon at speeds of up to Mach 2. In 1954, the NAGPAW was offered to the Navy in an unsolicited proposal.
 
The Navy was suitably impressed, but added some conditions. The original NAGPAW proposal called for a low-altitude penetrator which dictated an aircraft with a small wing area with a high loading to give an acceptable low-altitude ride at high speeds. However, the Navy wanted the aircraft to have the ability to launch from a carrier even in zero wind conditions, which requires a larger wing area. The obvious solution for this problem would be a variable-sweep wing, but the Navy had gotten cold feet about variable geometry aircraft in general after the failure of the Grumman XF10F-1 Jaguar, and decided that it would be a better idea to abandon the low-altitude penetrator mission in favor of better carrier landing and takeoff characteristics. Consequently, in January of 1955, the Navy changed the requirements, making a high-altitude Mach 2 dash capability primary and a low-altitude penetration capability only secondary.
 
The wing that was finally adopted was mounted high on the fuselage and had a sweep of 37.5 degrees and an area of of 769 square feet. The wing did not have ailerons--lateral control was via a series of spoilers hinged along the leading edges of the wing and deflectors arranged along the trailing edges. The inner wing trailing edges were fitted with large flaps, and the leading edges were fitted with extendible slats. The outer wing panels had hinges outboard of the control surfaces and flaps for folding for stowage aboard carriers.
 
The wing was fitted with a boundary layer control system on the trailing edge, which was automatically coordinated with the operation of the wing flaps. When the flaps began lowering, the system directed high-velocity air over them, which increased the lift and lowered the angle of attack required for landing. A external pylon could be mounted underneath each wing for the carriage of an external store or a drop tank.
 
The original design had twin vertical stabilizers, and this was actually how the mockup was configured when it was reviewed in March of 1956. However this was changed to a single vertical stabilizer shortly thereafter. The tailfin was a single piece pivoting slab. The amount of tail travel was restricted to 2 degrees left or right with flaps up and 8 degrees with flaps lowered to 25 degrees or more.. The vertical tail was sufficiently tall that it had to be fitted with a hinge so that the top could be folded to the left for stowage aboard aircraft carriers. An electronic countermeasures antenna, formation lights, and a fuel vent were installed in a fairing that extended from the trailing edge of the vertical fin at about 40 percent height. A radio antenna was installed inside a dielectric fairing at the extreme tip of the fin.
 
The horizontal tailplanes were of the all-flying variety and were hinged at a single pivot on each side of the extreme rear fuselage. The horizontal tail could perform a limited amount of asymmetrical deflection for roll trim, but could not actually provide roll control, which was the responsibility of the wing spoilers.
 
The fuselage was rather long and thin, with a radome at the very tip of the nose. For storage aboard carriers, the radome could be folded back. The aircraft was powered by a pair of afterburning General Electric J79 turbojets, mounted side-by-side in the rear of the fuselage. They were fed by individual air intakes on the sides of the fuselage. A unique feature was the use of variable geometry engine air intakes, the Vigilante being one of the first production aircraft to have this feature. They were designed to decelerate supersonic air to subsonic speed before it reached the engine air compressor.
 
In order to protect against the aerodynamic heating generated by flight at Mach 2, much of the internal structure was made of titanium.
 
The main landing gear members were attached to the fuselage sides, with the wheels retracting forward and rotating through 90 degrees to fit into fuselage wells. The nosegear also retracted forward. The advantage of forward retraction was that the landing gear would automatically be locked into place by the force of the airstream in the event of a hydraulic failure.
 
The aircraft carried a crew of two--a pilot and a bombardier-navigator, seated in tandem underneath separate clamshell-type canopies. The pilot had a frameless, wraparound windshield, and his canopy was sufficiently transparent to provide him with a fairly good view. The bombardier/navigator had only a tiny transparent window on either side. In the mockup, the bombardier/navigator was provided with a completely transparent canopy. However, it was felt that a completely blacked-out cockpit would be more effective for viewing a radar display or for protection against the glare of a nuclear blast, and the bombardier/navigator's canopy was completely solid in later designs. Prospective bombardier/navigators protested that a completely solid canopy would cause claustrophobia, and a compromise was worked out in which a small window would be cut into each side of the canopy. The bombardier/navigator had no forward view and he had no flight controls.
 
The aircraft was to be fitted with a HS-1/1A emergency escape system. The two crew members sat on individual ejector seats. The pilot could initiate the ejection sequence for both crewmen, which could be done by either pulling a face curtain or by pulling a handgrip underneath the seat. After activated, the seat would automatically pull the crewman into ejection position, after which both canopies would be blown away and a catapult-rocket system would fire and blast the crewmen up and out of the aircraft. A drogue chute then was opened to stabilize the seat, and shortly thereafter the crewman was separated from the seat and the crewman's parachute automatically deployed. The entire sequence took only 3 seconds. In the event the pilot was incapacitated, the navigator/bombardier could eject on his own. The HS-1 ejection seats were effective only at speeds above 100 knots, and were superseded in late production A-5As by the HA-1A with zero-zero capability.
 
The nuclear weapon was to be stored in an internal weapons bay. The weapons bay did not have a conventional bomb bay with doors opening underneath the bottom of the aircraft, since this would make it impossible to release the weapon at supersonic speeds. Instead, the Mk 28 nuclear weapon was mounted at the end of a long duct which extended rearward between the two engines and was ejected to the rear during release. The duct exit at the rear of the aircraft was capped by a clamshell-opening door, which was later replaced by a blow-away tailcone. The weapon was integrated with two jettisonable fuel storage tanks, which were generally emptied before the target was reached. The weapon and the associated fuel tanks were released as a unit by rearward ejection through the opening at the rear. As the bomb fell toward the target, the attached fuel tanks provided stability. In addition, a countermeasures device was included in the bomb bay that could be ejected before the release of the nuclear weapon.
 
The aircraft was to be equipped with a North American Autonetics AN/ASB-12 bomb direction system. It provided basic navigation and aircraft positioning. The nose was fitted with a GE Electronics multi mode radar, a North American NASARR radar computer, CCTV for daytime visual identification, a Radar-Equipped Inertial Navigation System, aand a Versatile Digital Analyzer. There was a TV optical scanner housed in a small bulge underneath the forward fuselage, just behind the radome.
 
The aircraft was capable of being refueled in midair, via a retractable probe on the port side of the fuselage ahead of the pilot's cockpit.
 
The aircraft had a primitive fly-by-wire flight control system in which stick movements of the stick were converted into electrical signals which fed into actuators that controlled lateral and l longitudinal movements. The actuators then mechanically positioned the control valves, the horizontal stabilizer, and the spoiler activators. There was a mechanical backup system in case this system failed.
 
On June 29, 1956, North American received a letter of intent from the Navy. On August 29, 1956, a formal contract was issued for two prototypes under the designation XA3J-1, which was later changed to YA3J-1. It took about two years for the first prototype to be ready. The first YA3J-1 (BuNo 145157) was rolled out of the factory on May 16, 1958. During the rollout ceremony, it was announced that the plane was officially named Vigilante.
 
The first flight of the YA3J-1 took place on August 31, 1958, North American chief test pilot Richard Wenzel being at the controls. Only a few relatively minor problems were encountered. The Vigilante went supersonic for the first time on September 5. The second prototype joined the flight test program in November.
 
The first production contract was issued in January of 1959. On June 3, 1959, the second prototype (BuNo 145158) crashed when a hydraulic and electrical system failure caused the pilot to lose control of the aircraft.
 
The initial A3J-1 production batches soon followed. 14 of them were employed in test flights. The 6th Vigilante made 14 launches and landings on the USS Saratoga (CVA-60) in July of 1960. Additional tests were made of the deck handling of the Vigilante.
 
Initial production A3J-1s were powered by a pair of J79-GE-2 turbojets, each rated at 15,150 lb.s.t. with afterburning. Very early on, the J79-GE-4 was introduced on the production line, followed very soon by the J79-GE-8, both of which were rated at 16,500 lb.st. with afterburning.
 
On December 13, 1960, an A3J-1 crewed by Cdr Leroy Heath and Lt Larry Monroe set a new altitude record of 91,450.8 feet.
 
The first A3Js were assigned in June of 1961 to VAH-3 at NAS Sanford, Florida. This was a Replacement Air Group (RAG), which was used to train aircrews and ground crew maintenance people for the Vigilantes that would be operating with the fleet. The operational debut of the Vigilante was in August of 1962 when VAH-7 deployed aboard the USS Enterprise (CVAN-65) for a short cruise in the Mediterranean. Deliveries to VAH-1 and VAH-3 followed shortly thereafter.
 
The linear bomb bay release method was never very reliable. The release often did not work properly, electrical connections were faulty, the ejection gun was unreliable, and there was poor separation and post-ejection stability of the store train of the bomb and two fuel tanks. In addition, it was not uncommon for the entire load to slide out of the bomb bay during a catapult launch, leaving the fuel tanks and bomb sitting on the carrier deck. Such were the difficulties encountered that the linear bomb bay system would never be used aboard aircraft carriers in fleet service.
 
In September of 1962, the A3J-1 was redesignated A-5A under the new Tri-Service designation system.
 
The A-5A could be equipped with a hose-and -drogue inflight refueling system using a buddy tank system housed in the linear weapons bay. The non-jettisonable system consisted of a 290-gallon buddy tank, two bomb bay fuel cells, a pump unit, and 78 feet of hose.
 
The A-5A achieved a reputation of being a difficult aircraft to land aboard a carrier. Pilot inexperience and a high approach speed resulted in several ramp strikes and losses of aircraft and crews.
 
In the early 1960s, the submarine-launched ballistic missile became the primary Navy strategic deterrent, and the A3J-1 no longer had a mission. In 1963, the Navy decided to halt any further procurement of the A-5A after only 59 had been built. With RA-5C deliveries beginning in January of 1964, the A-5As were removed from the heavy attack inventory and relegated to training roles. Most of them were returned to North American for conversion to RA-5C standard. Of the 59 A-5As built, 43 were eventually reconfigured to RA-5Cs.

This is an "ultimate" tweak of .ini files for entire MiG-23 "Flogger" fighter series (M, MS, MF, ML, MLD) originally made by Rafael in order to bring them closer to real-life performance&behavior in SFP1/WOE (including some avionics tweaks). It also solves the main problem of too low sea-level speed and "jumpy" landing gear (and many bad AI landings, but not all :))
 
Information is gathered from MiG-23ML/UB manuals, books, writings of former Flogger pilots on forums... should be pretty close to original(s).
 
There is also a folder containing "spinoff" MiG-23P .ini files, for which use you will need some files from MiG-23ML directory copied (and renamed) there. If you don't wish to use it, simply don't copy the folder and/or pertaining .ini files.

Thanks to all of those listed above - they did all the hard work, I just packaged it all together - and of course to TK for creating these great games for us to tinker with.
 
This plane is compatible with all of the A-6 skins currently available. You'll just need to go into the decal.ini file within the skin folder and edit it so that all references to hte original A-6 model the skin was made for are changed to A-6E_USMC. Check out the skin folders within this download for an example.
 
Have fun, and good hunting!

Oz F-4E Package for SF/WoV/WoE
 
This is an update of nosecone's RAAF F-4E Phantom II skin set.
Having never seen this mod before, I made several unkind comments on the message boards, for which I apologized publicly. Also, as part of said apology, I'm updating the inis and pathways so it now become a simple drag/drop or copy paste operation.
 
As a bonus, I'm including all the ini's necessary to create an RAAF country specific version of the Phantom. All inis, and brand new -only available in this mod!- Hangar & Loading screens are included.
 
Amberly Rhino??? That don't sound too bad!!!
 
Once unzipped, you get 2 choices:
 
1) Add the skin to the existing F-4E in the usual manner or;
2) Create a RAAF-only version. I've included everything needed to do so.
 
You also get a new, Bonus Skin, "RAAFGray" Well, all it is, is the 5 texture bmps, decals ini, texture set ini for a Dark Gray Version of the skin, based off the colors used on the F-111C that's available. I just reused everything that nosecone did, since he mentioned something about the "later versions". You will be re-using the decal set provided (ie: copy into the RAAFGray folder)
 
There are full, detailed install instructions in the read me -- so read the cursed thing!!!. There is vitally important information about weapons loads in there. Operation years are a 'best guess', for a "What If..." aircraft.
 
Credits:
All credit goes to nosecone; he created the decals and did all the original work in 2002. All I've done is assemble it into a cohernt package, updated to the latest standard, and create the dark gray skin. (picture not posted here, check the 'Mods and Skinning' Forum for a screenshot)
 
Enjoy!

The Sa'ar (tempest) is a modification of the Super Mystere B2 (Sambad for the Israeli pilots). After the French embargo and the consequent poor availability of Atar spare parts, Hey'l Ha'Avir decided the installation of a PWJ52-P-8A american jet engine on a Sambad cellula. The lower fuel consumption and lower weight after the abolition of the After-Burner complex of the ATAR 101, gave the Sa'ar a bigger autonomy and allowed two extra attach points; the long-piped exaust provided best protection against IR guided missiles.
The conversion of 26 Sambad started in late 1969, one aircraft a month , and ended in early 1973 (26 month later... of course).
The Sa'ar, as the Sambad, fought in the IAF with the 105° Squadron "Ha'akrav" (The Scorpion) only.
 
The aircraft is tested with SFP1, WoV and WoE updated at the last Service Pack and with the last WeaponPack.
This mod is freeware and is not allowed for commercial use.
