To install:

 

Simply extract the contents of the objects folder, into your Wings Over Europe\Objects\GroundObject folder, taking care to ensure that the folders do not become "nested" (named folder within a like-named folder). The following sub-folders should be visible within the groundobjects folder.

 

4xMIM-14

TTR_T

HIPAR

LoPAR_T

 

Then, extract the MIM-14 folder from .RAR archive, and drop it into your Wings Over Europe\Objects\Weapons folder

 

Next, add the following data to your Weapondata.ini (which should reside within, or should be extracted from its CATalog file, and into your weapons folder), and then save it with the weapons editor that's appropriate to the patch level that you're using. (ie, Oct 2008 patch = Weapon Data Editor V02.20.08). Adjust the [WeaponDataXXX] number entry as required, so it follows the existing sequence (ie, if the last one was [WeaponData144], the next one would be [WeaponData145]).

Finally, place the GERMANYCE_TYPES.INI, the GERMANYCE_TARGETS.INI, the ground_platte2.LOD, and the ground_platte2.tga files, in your Wings Over Europe\Terrain\GermanyCE folder. And then you're done!

 

Just in case you're wondering, the placement I used is close to the historical site of the Hohenkirchen and Rodenkirchen (Stadland) Nike sites, near the coast and not far from Bremerhaven.

 

To test: Fly an anti ship mission (yes, you read that right) in a Soviet aircraft, between 1962 and 1997. If you attain a height of 3300 meters (or about 10,000 feet), you will attract the attention of the Nike site's radars. By the way, since they're e data-linked, they can guide one another's missiles (which the Nike system was capable of, in real life), so don't be surprised if you see a radar tracking yo at the nine o'clock position, but get slammed from a Nike Hercules approaching from your one o'clock.

 

NOTE* Some of the more experienced among you may question the ground object roles that I used for the various units...trust me, that's the only way to make sure that you don't wind up sowing Nike launchers and radars all over the countryside. And, they work just fine the way that they are.

I can't wait to try this out when I get home.

[+ravenclaw_007 7,633]

i give up

 

your pictures look so great and i belief that this is one great mod but all i get is this

 

even the radome is missing , and no missile´s , if i set on the blue side sam_launcher or sam_radar it is like a vanishing code

i will make one last try with a blank instlation of woe hope that this will work

 

here is a link to a side with all locations of NIKE sites in Germany maybe you can place them ?? NIKE-Sites

[+ErikGen 44]

As per the readme DO NOT change the launcher's groundobject role to Static_SAM, or you'll have Nikes everywhere. I have absolutely no problems with it showing up, as is.
