These aircraft depicts the EA-4F Skyhawks of VAQ-33 "Firebirds", NAS Norfolk, VA, in May, 1972. Special thanx to "Fracture" for creating this beautiful aircraft and to "Starfighter" for his help with the making of this skin.
Hope you enjoy, Pappy

Here's the Yak-28P Firebar. I haven't the foggiest idea who made this, all I know is it wasn't me. But I believe this is the one some of you have been looking for. If anyone knows who the author is please notify me so I can write up a credit file and add it to my archive.

CREATED BY ALEKS-ZELIOS DESIGN
THIS IS MY MIRAGE IVM PROJECT.IT IS MADE WITH 3DSTUDIO MAX.I TRIED TO MAKE IT FLYABLE,BUT THERE ARE MANY THINGS I IGNORE.ANYBODY WHO CAN DO SO IS WELCOME.LET'SMAKE IT WORK AND SHARE WITH EVERYONE!!!!!

F-4E Phantom II AUP, Hellenic Air Force Mod
 
A Stand-Alone aircraft for WoI (but usable in ALL versions of the game - read on!)
 
This package will create a complete, 'nation specific' aircraft; the F-4E Phantom II AUP as used by the Hellenic Air Force. Right now, it uses the WoI avionics70.dll, and has a fully functional HUD, CCIP, multi-mode A-A radar, and a Ground Mapping radar. As you all should know by now, the GM radar ONLY works in WoI with the HUD and whatnot. This aircraft, however, IS still usable in SF/WoV/WoE, with a modified avionics ini, which I've supplied. Full instructions are in the "To Install" section below.
 
This a completion of a pack started by Sundowner, and he supplied me with the Hi-Rez Ghost skin, and a bunch of inis, along with the Ghost Gray camo 370 & 600 gallon drop tanks -- you WILL be adding these, so get your Weapons Editor warmed up!!
 
-- NOTE: these are HI-REZ skins; 2048x2048. For those with older, slower machines or those with smaller vid cards, you might want to resize the skin bmps down one step to 1024x1024. You =WILL= loose some detail, but it's a trade off you sometimes must make. --
 
All I've basically done, is some ini tweeks for loadouts and some extreamly small changes. They ARE correct serials as issued to these Phantoms, but I cannot claim 100% historical accuracy as to which squadron had which number set.
 
A new Hangar screen is included, based of Ant's original; it's WoI style one, even though I've left the SF/WoV/WoI style in, for when the Patch comes out for those other games, you can just use that one. It's called "woe_F4E_HAF_Hangar.bmp". So, you can choose, depending on your game, which to use.
 
It is set up to use either of the weapons paks; the Bunyap Pak or Mirage Factory, or even NONE at all!!!
 
Remember: this is designed for use in WoI =ONLY=, because at present, it's the only avionics70.dll that supports HUD/CCIP and Ground Mapping radars. It is probably usable in the others, but not with the WoI-style avionics ini. To that end, I've created an SF/WoV/WoE version, called -obviously- "woe_F4EAUP_AVIONICS.INI". See install instructions for further information. If used in anything OTHER than WoI, it is reccomened you use this modded ini, or run the risk odd game crashes.
 
I'd like to thank Sundowner for trusting me to complete and release this package. Ant gets 98.6% of the credit; the remainder is mine! After all, he DID all the hard work with the skin; and I gotta tell ya, the detailing on it is superb; as we've come to expect.
 
Make double-damm sure you read the enclosed readme -- it's there for your convience!!!
 
Happy Hunting!!!

Well, the MiG-15 and MiG-15bis were nearly identical in looks, so I have modded the good ol' Pasko's MiG-15bis into a MiG-15. The Data.ini is strongly based in the new MiG-15bis package from Dave (I love this and the new Sabers).
The differences are:
-Worst airbrakes in MiG-15
-Different guns.
-Different engine
-Mig-15 is heavier than MiG-15bis
 
I have touched the Data.ini only. Nearly all the credit must be for Pasko and Dave. It's their work!
The external model is the same than MiG-15bis. All the MiG-15bis skins fit in MiG-15.
Good hunting!
 
Errr....Sorry, but there was an error in the first release, making the MiG-15 lighter than MiG-15bis. This is now corrected.
As a plus, I have included Ordway's MiG-15 cockpit. It's a Must-Have!
Remember: I have done a few changes, but the bulk of the work and all the credit for this plane must be for Pasko, Dave and Ordway!

MiG-15bis, North Korea "The Hunters" Mod
 
For SF/WoV/WoE/WoI
 
A small mod of Pasko's MiG-15bis into a 'nation specific' version as used by the NKPAF during the Korean War, and badged as seen in the movie "The Hunters". Albeit THIS version is a MiG-15, not a repainted F-84F <vbg>
 
This is an INCOMPLETE mod, meaing that I'm NOT supplying the aircraft lods, or the new Mig-15 cockpit by Richard Ordway -which is a MUST have!!!!-, or any of the other skins. So, this means YOU MUST HAVE THE MIG-15 INSTALLED TO COPY THE NEEDED PARTS FROM. Or download a fresh one from CombatAce, or wherever. See "To Install" below for a full parts list, and detailed instructions.
 
This is, basically, a re-decaling of the original North Korean silver skin as supplied with the aircraft, when first released. I've included the "GermanNum" tgas that are stock, 3rd Wire units. This makes it easier to have exactly the numbers I want to show on the aircraft. I cannot vouch for their histroical accuracy, but they look just fine on the nose. The lead aircraft represents "7-11" aka Casey Jones 'The Crapshooter', and his dice nose art, as well has the bort number of 7-11.
 
This mod has NOT been tested in WoI, but as the standard 15bis seems to work OK, this one should as well. Use at you own risk, however. The FM in in the data ini is as originally released; it has not been adjusted as per some of the newer versions as released by TazKiller and Dave.
 
As usual, you are ORDERED by our Beloved Leader to read the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions on installing The People's MiG to your game. As well as the expected "Notes & Comments" section by the Political Officer. Your diligence will be rewarded....
 
Good Hunting!

ps to Jug: here ya go, man. with only the minium of begging!!!

F4U-4B Corsair -- A mod of the Mirage Factory's F4U-7
For SF/WoV/WoE -ONLY!!!!-
 
This is a modification of The Mirage Factory's F4U-7 (French Navy version), into the earlier, and almost identical, -4B as used by the US Navy and Marine Corps during the Korea War.
This pak contains -almost- everything you'll need to create this new version, minus a few critical files that you'll need to copy from the original F4U-7. So you MUST have the -7 somewhere to copy them from. If not, you can download it from Check6 (TMF Home Site), Column5 or CombatAce (?)
 
This is to be considered as an "incomplete" aircraft mod, due to the non-inclusion of certain files. I've NOT included the aircraft LOD files or the cockpit folder. See below "To Install" for a complete list of the necessary parts. This should also be considered as a 'stand-in' aircraft, as TMF is/was working on the -4B model for release at some point. I'm sure their's will be better than this small offering
So, as to soften the blow, I've included 3 new skins, based off the originals, for your use in a Korean Era (or Prop Cold War Gone Hot) type of install.
 
They are:
VF-53, USS Essex circa 1950
VMA-332, circa 1953
VMF-214, circa 1951
 
The skins are tweekifcations of existing TMF Corsair skins.
 
I've included all the inis I've modified, so you'll be copying the minimum number of bits. You'll also get my Korean Corsairs Hangar screen, and a new Pilot figure.
 
This mod is designed for use with the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06, as it contains all the needed weapons (minus the Corsair drop tank - it comes with the F4U-7).
For those NOT using the Bunyap Weapons Pak, the WW2 bombs needed are included, as is TMF's original F4U drop tank. Just in case. The HVAR rockets are NOT included, as they exist in both the BunyPak and TMFs
 
=IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed to be used in SF/WoV/WoE -ONLY-, as WoI has almost competly hosed the WW2-ish propeller plane flight models. If you attempt to use this in WoI, you do so at your own risk of flying 'quite oddly'.
 
READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions, plus the usual "Notes & Other Ramblings" section
 
Happy Hunting!

Vought F7U-3M Cutlass by MarcFighters
 
A Stand-Alone aircraft for SF/WoV/WoE/WoI
 
This is a General Release of Marcello's F7U Cutlass Beta -(minus), as such it IS an incomplete aircraft, with many parts of the physical model either non-functional (ie: control surfaces, etc), or semi-functional. Please consider this a "Beta - (minus)" type of release.
 
It is a complete aircraft, with respect that all the bits needed to unzip and fly away are included. It is fully carrier capable, and has been tested off various US carriers.
 
I've tried to do what I can, with ini edits and other 'tweeks' to make it more functional. I don't think they came out too bad. We can only hope that in the future, Marcello releases a finished version. I'm doing this, simply because many people want this aircraft in their stable, even with all the warts still on it :) I hope Marcello dosen't mind!!
So, please take this in the spirit given.
 
Said data ini edits make the aircraft fully carrier capable (!!), via a ''virtual'' tail hook. A full cockpit, based off the F-4Bs in included, as are all the inis. The avionics ini includes an audio-only RWR, beeping ONLY on the 'track sound'. These are basically missile-armed interceptors, with 2 of the 4 20mm guns removed. As such, it is still a fully capable ground attack aircraft, carrying rocket pods and bombs.
 
It has a new skin, representing F7U-3Ms from VA-116 , aboard USS HANCOCK during the 1957 time frame. It's one of the few squadrons that painted their aircraft in the gull-gray/white scheme; most of the Cutlass' were left natural metal. The skin was created from a template I drew up, based on the UVmaps supplied in the original limited release in 2006 (?). Templates ARE included, as I'm not real happy with the skin in some respects; it needs further work and there are some bits on the map I can't figure out. So, if any other skinners want to have a crack at cleaning it up; have at it my brothers and sisters!!! :) Panel lines need some additions, small vent details, etc, etc, etc.
 
New, historical decals are included for 25 aircraft; modex numbers and BuNums that ARE 100% accurate, as they are real serial numbers as issued by the US Navy BuAer. Those marked with a star (*) in the number list are actual aircraft from VA-116; the other are fill-ins. Meaning, I could find a listing (read: photo) of the others.
 
It is set up to use the Bunyap Pak, as only it contains the VERY early Sparrow missiles, and the drop tanks. I've set it to use the drop tanks from FoxMontor's F3H Demon, as they have nearly the proper shape and size. Loadout configurations are a 'best guess' in some cases; there is an extra set of pylons built into the aircraft, that I've used for rocket pods in the CAS and Armed Recon mission assignments. In real life, the -3M that this 'represents', only had the fuselage and wing stations. So, consider this something between the F7U-3M and A2U, even though the A2U never went beyond a planning stage, and had 4 more stations for air-to-ground ordanance.
 
A revamped, newer, cleaner version of my really old Cutlass Hangar Screen is included.
 
It it advised that if you are using the Mirage Factory Pak, that you copy/import the necessary early style weapons. I've supplied all the necessary bits; they and the accompanying text file with the weapons' data, are in the /weapons folder in the "xtra_stuff" folder.
 
As it is a complete aircraft, it should also be usable in WoI, although this particular aircaft has not been tested as such -- BE ADVISED, that WoI handles flight models differently, and I (and the folks that originaly built this) cannot be responsible for "adverse handling conditions, leading to uncontroled flight into terrain". Be that as it may, it should work passably! However, it's my considered opinon, that it NOT be used in WoI.
 
As usual, read the enclosed readme, all the necessary instructions are included. As well as an extensive Notes & Comments section. Many explainations, hints, other informative goodies are there!
 
With thanks to Marcello for putting this out several years ago, and wishing him a speedy recovery. This one's for you man!
 
Enjoy!
