For WOV only: I've enabled the stock carriers to have respective carrier #/name on the structure/island. have not figured out the bow yet if its even possible. This is a start though. See picture for clarification.
 
Carrier list: Note GroundObjectdata.ini is provided and numbered already.

I've placed the files into proper folders:
 
Unzip and drag and drop into main folder. Keep in mind that this is structure so the Groundobjectdata.ini resides within Groundobject folder which makes for cleaner file structure.
 
Modified all WOV campaigns to allow use of this mod.
 
I highly advise for educational purposes to look over this mod before installing so you can get an understanding of what I did. Do not rename files unless you fully understand file structure in this game!
 
You can use this mod in SF however you will need to follow this tutorial link:
 
http://www.column5.us/carriers.htm
 
All WOV stock carriers numbered.

FINAL: Can't remember where I got button images but I do thank whomever you are...great work. Rest by me. Just place contents into WOV menu folder.
 
This zip includes:
All main menu screens:
 
As always backup originals ;)

Final: Changed sequence and cleaned up a bit (removed various tone sounds to lessen confusion with ingame tones). Now includes Stock Soundlist.ini with adjustments to it for this mod. Already in proper folders so unzip-drag and drop and it will overwrite.
 
2.0 UPDATE: Longer 23 minutes worth
 
This replaces stock windloop with 23 minutes of actual vietnam/modern era communications. Gives the game a really cool feel while in flight.
 
Changes needed in respective aircraft data.ini which need to be extracted via SFP1 extractor located in D/l utilities section.
 
EXAMPLE: A-4B Data.ini
[sound]
EngineSoundName=A4Engine
AfterburnerSoundName=
DamagedEngineSoundName=Planefire
FlapsSoundName=Flaps
AirbrakesSoundName=Airbrakes
GearsSoundName=Gear
WindSoundName=windloop <----- This line needs to be added in aircraft data.ini
 
NOTE: Engine noise may overshadow this sound...you will need to decrease volume level for all engine sounds including afterburner.
 
This can be done with sound recorder which is included in windows...it can be found under start/programs/accessories/entertainment. Open the engine sound and decrease volume level to your liking then save.
 
As always backup originals in case you don't like it.

Mission start on carriers: You will now hear flight deck communications.
 
FINAL ver.1.0 : Complete with underlying noise and added additional voice.
 
I've included modded stock WOV soundlist ini. to include as follows:
 
SoundFile0XX=CVNAmbient
SoundFile0XX=CVNMovement
 
Original sounds were provided with Digital Overload CVN-75 which is available here:
 
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?download=1788
 
You must change any/all carrier addons or stock as per below in the respective carrier data.ini
 
[sound]
EngineSoundName=CVNAmbient
MovementSoundName=CVNMovement
 
Stock data.ini can be extracted via SFP1 extract utility.
 
CVNAmbient.WAV Goes into sounds folder
 
Soundlist.ini Goes into flight folder
 
MUCH THANKS TO DIGITAL OVERLOAD!!!

Got this idea from EAW days...Playboy had a huge following during the Vietnam era...thought it would be fitting to have one of its covers in the cockpit. Place files into F-4B cockpit folder and thats it.
 
NOTE: F-4C uses the same cockpit no renaming is needed just copy from F-4B and paste into F-4C cockpit folder.
 
If you don't like this mod just delete from folder and game will use defaults.

Drop contents into flight folder...this is my first tweak. Radar in upper right corner removed...text size reduced, Icons reduced to a dot reference. Background shade removed on Target, comm, and Aircraft Info. May work in Strike fighters but I don't own that game...this is for WOV. Screen shot is not as good as I hoped...in game you will see a major difference...less text clutter.

UPDATE: This now includes all A-4 cockpits.
A-4B
A-4C
A-4E
A-4F
 
Subtle sharpening of gauges. Place files in respective folders.
 
NOTE: In the picture it shows modified attitude indicator. This is no longer included as there are better ones available elsewhere.

UPDATE: Equalized all wav. files volume level was uneven throughout. Changed HangarRadio1 to general AFVN radio broadcasts.
 
New John Phillip Sousa's
USN
USMC
USAF
 
New menu sounds for WOV also includes pilotscreen comical interview with fictional Air Force pilot during that era. Mix of Vietnam era music from my personal collection.
 
Unzip into sounds folder and thats it. Backup originals in case you don't like this selection.
 
NOTE: Air Force interview is colorful to say the least.
