    3. F-14D V1.4

      +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      | |
      | GRUMMAN F-14D TOMCAT |
      |
      The F-14D Tomcat the best fleet defender and for going "downtown" to turn infrastructure into rubble. |
      +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
       
      With the gracious permission of;
       
      The Mirage Factory and Olivier ANGUILLE (BPAo);
       
      Version 1.4 with TCS mod and updated flight model changes. This TCS mod provides a boresighted view only and does not (yet) track selected targets. The Radar Warning Receiver (RWR) has been updated and includes the implementation originally developed by wpnssgt. Flight model updates developed by Aleckx have also been incorporated which more accurately represents the fleet operational F-14D.
       
      This is an update of the earlier F-14D mod to the Mirage Factory F-14A and corrects several inaccuracies. The earlier F-14D release more closely represented the capabilities of the "Quick Strike variant which never actually went further than "view-graph engineering" and would have been a half step to the later Tomcat-21 which also never made it off of the drawing boards. If you like that variation you may wish to rename it as the Quick Strike 2, recognizing that it never actually flew. Land Warrior also has uploaded a Quick Strike version.
       
      This variation of the original F-14A represents the capabilities of the last operational configuration to guard the fleet; the F-14D "Bombcat", which included the capability to drop bombs and laser guided bombs. Other advanced weapons available at the time, such as Mavericks and Harms, were never incorporated into the F-14D due to budget limitations. The F-14D's strike debut was in Operation Desert Fox that went into Iraq against chemical weapons facilities identified by the UN teams in 1998. This aircraft was withdrawn from fleet service in 2006 and replaced by the F-18F in the air to air and medium strike roles.
       
      This release also incorporates the outstanding avionics upgrade done by Sandmartin and Batman1978, special thanks to them for their fine work and for granting permission to include that in this release.
       
      This model is a minor tweak only of the ini files to update the engines, radars and weapons
      to enable the full air to ground capabilities that were fielded in this aircraft. This does not include the detailed airframes changes of the later aircraft, that is left to a more capable modelling team at which point this version will be withdrawn. This release assumes you have already loaded the Mirage Factory F-14A, without which things like sounds will not come up.
       
      Just unzip this entire folder into your WOE/Ojects/Aircraft folder.
       
      Note -1. The avionics upgrade by Sandmartin and Batman1978 uses the avionics70 file to provide improved HUD and air to air radar and tracking capabilities. This mod does not have the air to surface radar capability of the earlier avionics60 file used in the earlier versions. Since the F-14D in its later years was primarily employed as a medium strike aircraft (air opposition having evaporated) the lack of an air to surface radar is a limitation of the sim with the newer avionics file. IF you like the option of having air to surface radar, the original files are included in the "Alternate Cockpit" subdirectory with a detailed read-me for how to back-up and install cockpit variations. If you like this option, let me know. Also, this avionics70 mod does NOT work in a Wings Over Vietnam only install. So if you are using a WoV install you will need to use the alternate cockpit using the avionics60 version. The TCS mod works in both versions.
       
      Note; the missile stations are designed to pick up Active Radar Homing missiles and will employ the AIM-7 and AIM-54 series air to air missiles. The model here will also pick up the AIM-120 series in the sim, but the aircraft was never wired or certified to carry that missile. So if you want the realism, don't load that one.
       
      Good hunting!

    7. Tornado F.3

      The Panavia Tornado Air Defence Variant was developed by Panavia on RAF specific request for a long range interceptor to replace the aging fleet of Phantom and Lightning. It featured advanced avionics, supersonic speed at all altitudes and the capability of keeping station far from base and for a long period of time.
       
      Detailed read me included for further details.

    8. F-35A/B/C Lightning II V 2.3

      F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter Version 2.2 BETA Release
      A USAF Version
      B USMC Version
      C USN Version
       
      for the SFP1/WOx series beta Version 2.0
       
      With thanks to Dave, JSF Aggie, JAT81500, Amokfloo, and especially FastCargo
       
      This is a Beta Release, I have to appologize that I simply don't have the time at present to finish up the cockpit, but I hope to have it finished someday! Meantime, I'm happy with the flight model, radar and weapon delivery, I'm afraid the AI is somewhat lacking when it comes to engaging with AA missiles from the weapons bays.
       
      Templates are included.
       
      A few notes about flying the F-35:
       
      This model has only been confirmed to work in 1st Generation TW Sims (SFP1/WOx). It has not been fully tested in 2nd generation sims (SF2,SFV).
       
      The AI still has problems in hard mode doing an approach to landing in the A and B models. We are still working on that.
       
      The B model VTOL mode has been made to be very similiar to the real thing in terms of performance. What that means is don't try VTOL mode fully loaded out...you won't get anywhere...literally. Plan to be publically ridiculed if you post a question on the forum asking how to do to a vertical takeoff fully loaded.
       
      Also, the real thing will not allow you to engage afterburner in VTOL...this limitation was not possible to implement in the TW sims. What that means is if you go to afterburner while in VTOL mode...bad things will happen VERY quickly.
       
      Speaking of the B model, for some reason, the nozzle will not animate open or closed. Several things have been tried to get it to work with no success...we are not sure why this is broken, especially since it works in the other models.
       
      To install:
       
      Effects in the Effects folder
      Objects in the Objects folder
      Sounds in the Sounds folder
       
      Please do not release modified files for this aircraft without my written consent, you are welcome to release any skins you like using the included templates. As always, any use of this mod for commercial ventures is strictly prohibited unless included in a future official Thirdwire Release.
       
      The creators of this mod are not responsible to any damage to hardware or software as a result of installation. As always: BACK UP YOUR FILES!!!!!!!!!!!!
       
      Constructive criticism is always appreciated, but please be nice; I'm emotionally delicate, like a flower.
       
      Clear Skies and Check Six!

      The USN and USMC skins are basically up to the end user to make what they like. I will more than likely sponser another contest at CA for the best skins for the F-35B/C versions.
       
      Dave (USAFMTL) 22 May 2009
       
      Version 2.1
       
      Several bugs fixes by FastCargo, added Klavs81 new cockpit.bmp and new hangar and loading screens.
       
      Dave (USAFMTL) 24 May 2009
       
      Version 2.2
       
      F-35C sound fixed.
       
      Various ini fixes by Crusader
       
      Dave (USAFMTL) 29 May 2009
       
      Version 2.3
       
      Fixed gun naming issue.

    9. F/A-18F

      F/A-18E/F Super Hornet from Wiki....
       
      ******************************************************************
       
       
      F/A-18E/F Super Hornet
       
       
      The Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is a supersonic carrier-capable fighter/attack aircraft. The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is a
       
      larger and more advanced derivative of the F/A-18C/D Hornet. The Super Hornet entered service with the United States Navy in
       
      1999, replacing the F-14 Tomcat since 2006 and will serve alongside the original Hornet. The Super Hornet was ordered in 2007
       
      by the Royal Australian Air Force to replace its aging F-111 fleet.
       
       
      Airframe changes.The forward fuselage is unchanged while the wing, center and aft fuselage, tail surfaces and power plants
       
      are new. The wing area of the Super Hornet is 25% larger.The fuselage was stretched to carry more fuel and room for future
       
      avionics upgrades. An engine with 35% more power, the General Electric F414, was developed from the Hornet's F404 to power
       
      this larger, heavier aircraft.The Super Hornet can return to an aircraft carrier with a larger load of unspent fuel and
       
      munitions than the original Hornet. The term for this ability is known as "bringback". Bringback for the Super Hornet is in
       
      excess of 9,000 pounds (4,000 kg).
       
      Other differences include rectangular intakes for the engines, a reduced radar cross section (RCS), two extra wing hard
       
      points for payload, and other aerodynamic changes.One of the most significant of which is the inclusion of significantly
       
      enlarged leading edge extensions (LEX) which provide improved vortex lifting characteristics in high angle of attack
       
      maneuver, and reduce the static stability margin to enhance pitching characteristics. This results in pitch rates in excess
       
      of 40 degrees per second.[ In the end, the Super Hornet shared little with earlier F/A-18s aft of the forward fuselage. The
       
      Super Hornet has 42% fewer structural parts than the original Hornet design.Flight characteristics include being highly
       
      departure resistant through its flight envelope, and having high angle-of-attack with care free flying qualities for combat
       
      and ease of training.
       
       
      Radar signature reduction measures
       
      Survivability is an important feature of the Super Hornet design. The US Navy says that a "balanced approach" to
       
      survivability was built in to the design.This means that it does not rely on low-observable technology such as stealth
       
      systems-to the exclusion of other survivability factors. Instead, its design incorporates a combination of stealth, advanced
       
      electronic-warfare capabilities, reduced ballistic vulnerability, the use of standoff weapons, and innovative tactics that
       
      cumulatively and collectively enhance the safety of the fighter and crew.
       
      The F/A-18E/F's radar cross section was reduced greatly from some aspects, mainly front and rear.The design of the engine
       
      inlets reduce the aircraft's forward sector radar cross section. The alignment of the leading edges of the engine inlets is
       
      designed to scatter radiation to the sides. Fixed fanlike reflecting structures in the inlet tunnel divert radar energy away
       
      from the rotating fan blades.
       
      The Super Hornet also makes considerable use of panel join serration and edge alignment. Considerable attention has been paid
       
      to the removal or filling of unnecessary surface join gaps and resonant cavities. Where the F/A-18A-D used grilles to cover
       
      various accessory exhaust and inlet ducts, the F/A-18E/F uses perforated panels that appear opaque to radar waves at the
       
      frequencies used. Careful attention has been paid to the alignment of many panel boundaries and edges, to scatter traveling
       
      waves away from the aircraft.
       
      It is claimed that the Super Hornet employs the most extensive radar cross section reduction measures of any contemporary
       
      fighter, other than the F-22 and planned F-35. While the F/A-18E/F is not a true stealth fighter like the F-22, it will have
       
      a frontal RCS an order of magnitude smaller than prior generation fighters.
       
       
      Avionics
       
      While there are some similar cockpit items of the original Hornet, the Super Hornet features a touch-sensitive, up-front
       
      control display; a larger, liquid crystal multipurpose color display; and a new engine fuel display.The Super Hornet has a
       
      quadruplex digital fly-by-wire system, as well as a digital flight-control system that detects and corrects for battle
       
      damage.Super Hornet production started with the APG-73 radar. The APG-79 AESA radar was introduced later (see the upgrade
       
      section below).
       
      The AN/ASQ-228 ATFLIR (Advanced Targeting Forward Looking InfraRed), is the main electro-optical sensor and laser designator
       
      pod for the Super Hornet. Defensive systems are coordinated through the Integrated Defensive Countermeasures system (IDECM).
       
      The IDECM system includes the ALE-47 countermeasures dispenser, the ALE-50 towed decoy, the AN/ALR-67(V)3 radar warning
       
      receiver, and the ALQ-165 Airborne Self-Protect Jammer (ASPJ). Aircrew have the ability to use night vision goggles (NVG) for
       
      Super Hornet operations which means the aircraft interior and exterior lighting are NVG compatible.

    12. MiG-31BM Foxhound

      This is the MiG-31BM Foxhound(Great Modernization) that't the late version of the Foxhound made by 101tfs and insky.cn community
      since 101tfs couldn't upload the Foxhound, i'm uploading this here.
      it needs a new FM and cockpit, so if you can help it will be great ;)
      the radar screen and rwr was made by Acidgraph and the cockpit repaint by MK2 with the F-4EJ Hud's

    14. J-8 Finback

      J-8 (Jian-8 Fighter aircraft 8) / F-8
      The J-8 was the first PLAAF aircraft of domestic design, with design work beginning in 1964. The overall configuration is a rather straightforward enlargement of the MiG-21/J-7 layout to accomodate two engines. Although it resembled Mikoyan's experimental Ye-152A, contrary to some early reports, it was not based on that aircraft. Production began in December 1979, with about 100-150 units of the first configuration entering service. Design work on the improved J-8-2 began in 1980, with production beginning in the late 1980. As with the cancelled "Super 7" upgrade to the single-engine J-7, the J-8-2 completely reworks the front end of the aircraft, adding a much larger radar and ventral air inlets, along with various other less pronounced improvements. The best that can be said of the J-8 is that once upgraded it will be no more than an advanced obsolete aircraft, comparable in configuration and aerodynamic performance to the Su-15 FLAGON.

    20. MV-22B Osprey v2.2

      MV-22B Osprey
       
      Release v2.2
       
       
       
      “The V-22 Osprey is a joint service, multi-mission, military tilt rotor aircraft with both a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) and short takeoff and landing (STOL) capability. It is designed to perform missions like a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of a turboprop aircraft. The V-22 was developed by Bell Helicopter Textron, which manufactures it in partnership with Boeing Helicopters. The initial operators are the U.S. Marine Corps and United States Air Force. The FAA classifies the Osprey as a model of powered lift aircraft.”… Wikipedia.
       
       
       
      Installation
       
       
       
      1.) Unzip the archive.
       
      2.) Cut/Paste the MV-22 folder within the aircraft directory of your Strike Fighters, Wings over Vietnam or Wings over Europe, Wings over Israel Installation.
       
      3.) Cut/Paste the sound file within the sound folder into the Sounds directory your Strike Fighters, Wings over Vietnam, Wings over Israel or Wings over Europe Installation.
       
      4.) Fly and have fun!
       
       
      Flight Instructions
       
       
      STOL – (Short Take Off and Landing) - Rotate the outboard engine nacelles (done by activating the keys you have mapped to controls thrust vectoring) above 45-degrees (I find around 60 works best). Release brakes, slowly feed in throttle. As you exceed 80 knots, apply full up elevator and apply full throttle. As you climb, raise gear and slowly rotate the engine nacelles to zero to achieve horizontal flight configuration. Approach landing in this configuration as you would a conventional aircraft.
       
       
       
      VTOL – (Vertical Take Off and Landing) - Rotate the outboard engine nacelles to their full 90-Degree position. Slowly apply throttle to exceed 75 percent (this will change with any cargo load or fuel use… adjust as necessary). While in hover mode, direction and attitude is controlled by pitch and roll. Rudder input controls rotation about the axis and throttle obviously effects climb or decent. Landing is a bit more difficult… You’ll need to rotate the engine nacelles to 90-degrees, reduce throttle and bank a bit to scrub off speed. Once below 240 knots, drop gear to increase drag, further reducing airspeed. As you slow to below 100 knots you will develop some buffeting… this is normal as the wings are obviously losing their lift. I find a good controlled decent can be achieved around 60 percent throttle. Goose the throttle a bit before touch-down to soften the landing.
       
       
       
      Operational Notes
       
       
      1.) It is recommended to fly the Osprey in hard-mode only to experience the flight model in it’s highest fidelity. The Ospreys FM is a bit too complex in the vertical flight profile to fly properly in anything other than hard.
       
      2.) Though the Osprey works in all iterations of Thirdwire flight-sims, it performed the best in Wings over Israel. Once the other iterations are patched to WoI standards, this will obviously change.
       
      3.) The real-world Osprey is fly-by-wire… the onboard computer does a lot of the workload that you will need to do to fly the Osprey smoothly and efficiently. Rule of thumb: Use small control inputs while in hover and don’t over correct when it gets squirrelly. If you ham-fist the Osprey it will throw you all over the place.
       
      4.) The cargo doors are opened by whatever key you have mapped to open bomb-bay
       
      5.) The AR Probe (air-refueling) is extended with whatever key you have mapped to extend the arrestor hook.
       
      6.) The engine nacelles are rotated with whatever key you have mapped to control thrust-vectoring.
       
       
       
      That’s it… fly have fun and don’t be afraid to critique.

    21. MIG-29OVT Eaglekiller V1.3

      Let me just say that I take no credit whatsoever for this mod. All I did was mess around with wpnssgt's Mig-29A. I managed to get thrust vectoring and inproved handling. I also modernized it to the OVT standard. This is the newest MIG-29 to date. Included is a repaint of the F-15C cockpit by Kesselbrut. I also created a Russian demonstration skin for the MIG-29. I hope this adds a worthy advisary to your arsenal.
