U-2 Grand Tour Missions over North Vietnam (1966) by comrpnt
 
Welcome
Welcome to a small set of missions related to the USAF's use of the U-2 over North Vietnam during the mid-1960s. This mission pack was inspired by Giles Whittell's excellent book Bridge of Spies.
 
This mission pack is designed to work with ThirdWire's StrikeFighters - Series 1, Wings Over Vietnam (WOV), patched to October 2008. Note that some external add-ons are required to carry out the missions in this pack. Missions included in this pack
The following missions are available in this pack; fly as the U-2 pilot over key strategic targets in North Vietnam, avoiding a multitude of SAMs and interceptors that attempt to engage you, or fly as a pilot of the Vietnam People's Air Force and attempt to 'down' the U-2 as it violates your airspace. Each mission takes place early in the morning, in daylight conditions with broken cloud. Note that daylight operations were required to assist the array of cameras on board the U-2. For each mission, waypoints are provided to guide you.
 
U-2 Grand Tour In a U-2A, take off from RTAFB Ubon and head, at altitude (~70k ft), for the border with North Vietnam, south of the disused airbase at Dong Hoi. Then head north towards Hanoi, before heading south-east to Haiphong, and then turn south-west for the long trip home.
 
U-2 intercept (MiG-19) Attempt to intercept the U-2 as it enters your airspace, south-west of Dong Hoi. Depart from the VPAF airbase at Ben Loi, west of Vinh Son.
 
U-2 intercept (MiG-21) Using the more advanced MiG-21, attempt to intercept the U-2 as it continues to make its way north to the capital, Hanoi, and then escapes south and west via Haiphong. Depart from the VPAF airbase at Bai Thuong, south of Hanoi.

Welcome.
This mission pack follows the Operational Conversion Unit (OCU) training undertaken by Pilot Officer Ian Black during 1985/86, the last RAF pilot to qualify on the English Electric Lightning, as documented in his excellent book The Last of the Lightnings (ISBN-10: 075093073X; ISBN-13: 978-0750930734).
 
The missions in this pack are specifically designed to be used with Thirdwire’s Strike Fighters 2 Europe: Expansion Pack 2 (SF2E:Exp2), which introduced all Lightning types to the game. Where possible, stock objects and aircraft are used. Where necessary new aircraft, skins, weapons, and loadouts have been defined and are included in the pack.
 
The missions
The missions in this pack form a syllabus for an OCU course, similar to that undertaken by Ian Black at RAF Binbrook, which is broken down into the following phases:
Basic aircraft handling.
Basic navigation.
Basic radar operation.
Advanced radar operation.
Radar assisted interceptions, with a varying degree of difficulty based on the angle-off of an approaching enemy. Includes high and low altitude, high and low speed, and combinations of these.
Air-to-air refuelling (AAR), using radar to acquire the ‘tanker’.
Air combat manoeuvres (ACM) against solo and multiple bogeys, using training rounds to record ‘kills’.
Air gunnery school, using live weapons against drone targets.
Ground gunnery school, using live weapons against static ground targets.
Formation flying, culminating in a diamond-9 flypast to celebration OCU graduation.

Welcome
Welcome to VMFA-531 Mission Pack 'Gold', for Wings Over Vietnam (WOV). This pack covers the entire set of missions flown by Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 531 (VMFA-531) between the dates of April 13 through April 30, 1965. Where possible I have tried to stay true to the historical write-up of Mike Wanamaker and Lee R. De haven*, given the constraints of the publicly available aircraft and ground objects in WOV. Where necessary, certain stock aircraft and ground objects are used in place of their historical counterparts.
 
*Special mention goes to Ken King (531_Ghost) for commissioning this work.
 
NOTE: This mission pack has been optimized and tested to work with the October 2008 patch for Wings Over Vietnam.
 
VERSION: 1.0
 
Missions included in this Pack
This pack contains over 60 single missions, scripted to reenact the engagements undertaken by the F-4Bs of VMFA-531. You will also get the chance to fly sorties in support of VMFA-531 in other aircraft, such as the A-6A, F-100D (acting as a Misty fast FAC) and the F-105D.
 
Acknowledgements, Disclaimer and Terms
Thank you to all those modders that have provided the prerequisites I have used in my mission packs. If there are any problems with these missions and my own modifications, then please contact me directly, not the authors of the prerequisites. Note that some models used by this pack may have different terms and conditions (consult the accompanying documentation for details).

New smoke marker effects
New formations
Comprehensive mission briefings documentation
60+ scripted single missions
Static aircraft with low-rez skins to populate your airbases during scripted single missions
Pilot skins to personalize your strike aircraft
FM tweaks to provide an auto-opening canopy for each strike aircraft used by this pack
Loadout enhancements to match the ordnance expended during the 'real' missions
A static frigate and carrier to replicate carrier task forces for both Yankee and Dixie stations
Comprehensive target definitions for each mission, with some enhancements to existing friendly airfields
New type definitions to support the new targets
Full airfield approach, tall structure anti-collision and ramp flood lighting for all friendly airfields

 
Installation
Download this pack to a neutral location on your local machine, extract the files, and then consult the detailed ReadMe for installation instructions.
 
Files are included to drag-drop this mission pack onto a clean install of WOV (patched to October 2008) with minimal configuration required. Detailed instructions are also included to perform a merge-install.
 
A final word
This 'Gold' release of the VMFA-531 mission pack completes the set originally published in a series of mission packs from late 2007 onwards. This final version is intended to replace those earlier separate mission packs by offering everything in one place, re-written and enhanced to make full use of the October 2008 patched version of Wings Over Vietnam. The work presented here is the culmination of over 2 years worth of effort. I had a lot of fun doing it, learned a lot, and met some good people along the way. I hope that you enjoy it. I think you will.
 
Good luck.

Operation Rubicon (for WOE)
Welcome to Operation Rubicon (for WOE) - where Rubicon has two meanings. First, it denotes R(ostock)uB(lockade)icon. Second, to "cross the Rubicon" is a popular idiom meaning to go past a point of no return and refers to Julius Caesar crossing the river of that name in 49 BC, deliberately as an act of war.
 
The objective of this mission is to attack and destroy the Soviet Northern Naval fleet undergoing repairs and maintenance in Rostock Naval Yard, East Germany. Strategically, this will stop the Soviet fleet from responding to NATO air and ground strikes on Warsaw Pact forces massing in East Germany. By this very act the NATO forces have reached the point of no return.
 
This mission was inspired from a Scenario in Tom Clancy's 1986 novel, Red Storm Rising (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Storm_Rising).
 
Version 1.01 update
Replaced broken links to CA-hosted A-Team models in README with links to Capun's skunkworks site.
Version 1.02 update
Removed reference to withdrawn A-Team model of Soviet Chapeav KrestaII-class cruiser. Alternative existing ship model used instead.
Version 1.03 update
Fixed minor typos in NATO and Warsaw Pact briefings.
Version 1.04 update
Removed reference to withdrawn A-Team model of CGN-9 cruiser. Alternative existing ship model used instead.
Version v1.10 update
Updated on request to remove direct links to any Capun and A-team prerequisite models. Instead, please contact Capun for access - details enclosed.
 
 
Acknowledgements
First, thank you to TK for providing an excellent platform and modding environment. Second, thanks go to all those modders that have provided the prerequisites I have used in my mission packs. Your hard work and dedication is very much appreciated.
 
If there are any problems with these missions and my own mods, then please contact me directly, not the authors of the prerequisites. Thanks.
 
Mission Overview
This mission is complex (my most complex to-date) and involves a total of 65 NATO aircraft, drawn from USN, USMC, USAFE and RAFG, and 13 Warsaw Pact aircraft. You can take the part of each main player in the Operation and experience it from their perspective. The aircraft used on each side and their specific mission are detailed as follows:
 
NATO Forces
USN/USMC
EA-6A, departs CV-62 USS Independence on SEAD mission to destroy EWR sites near Rostock naval yard
A-6B, similar mission as above.
A-6E, departs CV-62 on Strike mission to destroy the Soviet fleet at Rostock
KA-6D Tanker (only used in air-to-air refuelling training missions)
E-2C Hawkeye, departs CV-60 USS Saratoga on AEW mission close to East German (IG) border (AI mission only)
FA-18A, departs CV-60 USS Saratoga on CAP mission North-East of Rostock
USAFE
F-111F, en route from RAF Lakenheath(UK) on Strike mission to destroy Soviet fleet at Rostock (returns to Jever Airbase, West Germany)
F-4G, departs Diepholz Airbase on SEAD mission to penetrate border defences and destroy SAM sites prior to strike force arriving
A-10A, departs Fassberg Airbase on Strike mission to disable enemy defences at Laage airbase
RAFG
Harrier GR3, departs RAF Wunstorf on Strike mission to disable enemy airbase at Laage
F-4M, departs RAF Gütersloh on Strike mission to disable enemy airbase at Laage
 
Warsaw Pact Forces
Mi-24 Hind, departs Laage Airbase on Intercept mission to multiple radar threats approaching from the West
MiG-29C, departs Laage Airbase on Intercept mission to radar threats from the North and also from the West
SU-27 Flanker, departs Pütnitz Airbase on Intercept mission to multiple radar threats approaching from the North-West
 
Prerequisites
The prerequisites for this set of missions are extensive. However, this time I have written the README as a HTML file with links provided to each one, so they're easy to find.
 
It's worth remembering that stock WOE does not contain enough of the correct types of NATO or Warsaw Pact aircraft or ground objects required to model such a complex scenario as portrayed by this Operation, especially for the era I have chosen (i.e. 1979).

Carrier Missions and Training Pack for WOV
Welcome to the 'Pack' for WOV, which provides basic carrier training and operations missions using (mostly) stock aircraft.
 
Updated to V2.00
This mission pack has had a major update.
1. Merged Mission Pack I and II for WOV together into this single pack - training and operations missions are now all together in one place.
2. Re-vamped US fleet to be defined as types and also targets, to greatly simplify mission file contents and make it quicker to load missions.
3. Re-wrote ReadMe to point at currently available ships from the A-team - ReadMe is now also in HTML to make it easier to link to all pre-reqs.
4. Renamed mission files to make it easier to distinguish between carrier training (CT) and carrier operations (CO) missions.
 
Updated to v2.10
This mod has been updated on request to remove direct links to any Capun and A-team prerequisite models. Instead, please contact Capun for access - details enclosed.
 
Missions Included in this Pack
The missions provided by this pack are named according to mission type, aircraft type, weather conditions and time of day.
 
For example, using an A-4B, training missions are named as follows:
 
CT A-4B denotes take off, circuit fleet and land back on carrier, in daylight, in clear weather
CT A-4B(BW) denotes take off, circuit fleet and land back on carrier, in daylight, in bad weather
CT A-4B(N) denotes take off, circuit fleet and land back on carrier, at night, in clear weather
CT A-4B(BWN) denotes take off, circuit fleet and land back on carrier, at night, in bad weather
CT A-4B(R ) denotes take off, RV with KA-6D tanker aircraft, circuit fleet and land back on carrier, in daylight, in clear weather
CT A-4B(RBW) denotes take off, RV with KA-6D tanker aircraft, circuit fleet and land back on carrier, in daylight, in bad weather
 
For operations missions, again using an A-4B, the following naming convention is used:
 
CO A-4B(AS) denotes anti-ship mission. Intercept enemy patrol boats approaching from the South-West and North-West simultaneously, in daylight, in clear weather
CO A-4B(ASBW) denotes anti-ship mission. Intercept enemy patrol boats approaching from the South-West and North-West simultaneously, in daylight, in bad weather
CO A-4B(I) denotes aircraft intercept mission. Intercept enemy Migs approaching from the North-West at low level, in daylight, in clear weather
CO A-4B(IBW) denotes aircraft intercept mission. Intercept enemy Migs approaching from the North-West at low level, in daylight, in bad weather
 
Pre-requisites are listed in the README, together with installation instructions.

This mission pack has had a major update.
1. Re-vamped US fleet to be defined as types and also targets, to greatly simplify mission file contents and make it quicker to load missions.
2. Re-wrote ReadMe to point at currently available ships from the A-team - ReadMe is now also in HTML to make it easier to link to all pre-reqs.
3. Renamed mission files to make it easier to distinguish between carrier training (CT) and carrier operations (CO) missions.
 
Updated v2.10
This mod has been updated on request to remove direct links to any Capun and A-team prerequisite models. Instead, please contact Capun for access - details enclosed.

Missions Included in this Pack
This Mission Pack contains 16 missions per Stock SFP1/SFG aircraft and a few specialist missions for the A-5A. That's over 100 training and operations missions in total!
 
The stock aircraft provided for are: A-4B, A-4C, A-4F, F-4B and F-4J.
 
The Mission Pack also includes bonus missions written as a special request for the A-5A that include a long-range low-level Nuclear strike mission.
 
The naming conventions used for each mission are described as follows:
 
Stock Aircraft (using A-4B as example):
 
CT-LB A-4B© = Carrier Training Mission (simple take-off, circuit, land), Libya Terrain (CTF-60 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean), A-4B aircraft, Daylight, in good clear weather, Mission time is ~20 minutes
CT-LB A-4B(CN) = As above but at night*
CT-LB A-4B(CBW) = As above but in bad weather** (low thick cloud, rain)
CT-LB A-4B(CBWN) = As above but in bad weather at night
 
CT-LB A-4B® = Refueling mission with KA-6D Intruder, RV with tanker, fly a long circuit and then land, Daylight with good clear weather, Mission time is ~30 minutes
CT-LB A-4B(RN) = As above but at night
CT-LB A-4B(RBW) = As above but in bad weather
CT-LB A-4B(RBWN) = As above but in bad weather at night
 
CO-LB A-4B(AS) = Carrier Operations - Anti-ship mission, Scramble to meet incoming enemy patrol boats, Daylight (dawn) in good clear weather, Mission time is ~20 minutes
CO-LB A-4B(ASBW) = As above but in bad weather
CO-LB A-4B(AS2) = As above but fly as part of the 2nd flight, Attack similar targets approaching from a different direction
CO-LB A-4B(ASBW2) = As above but in bad weather
 
CO-LB A-4B(I) = Carrier Operations - Intercept, Scramble to intercept enemy Migs approaching the fleet, Daylight (dawn) in good clear weather, Mission time is ~20 minutes
CO-LB A-4B(IBW) = As above but in bad weather
CO-LB A-4B(I2) = As above but fly as part of the 2nd flight, Attack similar targets approaching from a different direction
CO-LB A-4B(IBW2) = As above but in bad weather
 
A-5A Bonus Missions (including Nuclear Strike Mission):
 
CT-LB A-5A© = Carrier Training Mission (simple take-off, circuit, land), Libya Terrain, A-5A aircraft, Daylight, in good clear weather, Mission time is ~20 minutes
CT-LB A-5A(CN) = As above but at night, in good clear weather
CT-LB A-5A(CBW) = As above but daylight in bad weather (low cloud, rain)
CT-LB A-5A(CBWN) = As above but at night in bad weather (low cloud, rain)
 
CO-LB A-5A(S) = Carrier Operations, Strike mission deep into Libyan territory. Knock out a Nuclear weapons research site, Daylight in good clear weather, Mission time is ~2.5 hours
...Watch out for multiple SAMS and AAA en route – stay low and fast
...Watch your fuel supply – avoid using AB - you'll be on vapours on final approach!
CO-LB A-5A(SN) = As above but at night. (Landing is just after dawn)
CO-LB A-5A(SBW) = As above but in daylight in bad weather
CO-LB A-5A(SBWN) = As above but at night in bad weather
 
*Night is depicted by just before dawn (~05:00) so that landings are in twilight (because the fleet is not illuminated in Stock SF and I wanted to make it at least possible to have some idea where to land after the mission is complete).
 
**Bad weather is depicted by heavy low cloud and rain.
 
Read the enclosed Mission Briefing .jpgs for more details about each operations and refuelling mission.
 
Waypoints are provided to guide you to the tanker or target, then onto approach and home, landing back on the carrier.
 
Pre-requisites are listed in the README, together with installation instructions.

Welcome to Operation Black Buck 1 - SE Asia Style!
 
[update v2]
This update uses the A-Team's Vulcan B2 add-on aircraft, instead of the Victor B2 of the previous versions. I've also removed some of the static aircraft that populated Puh Cat and Cam Rahn Bay. Now you're left with Vulcan B2 and Victor K2 statics, which simplifies the installation process.
 
[update v2.10]
This mod has been updated on request to remove direct links to any Capun and A-team prerequisite models. Instead, please contact Capun for access - details enclosed.
 
[Credits]
First, many thanks and all credit to the A-team and their contributors for producing the Vulcan B2 and Victor K2 add-on aircraft and also for granting me permission to post the related B2 and K2 mods which this mission relies upon. If there are any problems with this mission or referenced B2 and K2 mods then please contact me directly, not the A-team. Thanks.
 
[Why?]
Some people have asked Why? or Why do this RAF mission for WOV? Well, until the Falklands add-on (courtesy of Kesslebrut et al) becomes available this is the nearest mission profile you can fly for the Vulcan or Victor aircraft that mimics the essential parts of the Black Buck missions.
 
[Overview]
Pilot your Vulcan B2 V-Bomber to rendezvous with Victor K2 tankers rotating out of Phu Cat and then on to your target of the Hong Gai generator station in the far North, a key strategic target.
 
[Historical Basis]
The transition and attack of the target in this mission replicates many of the aspects of the original Black Buck mission from Ascension Island to Port Stanley airfield in the Falklands in May 1982, all within the confines of the WOV playable area. See http://www.britains-smallwars.com/swbooks/Vulcan-607.html for a detailed account of that first mission. This is the nearest I could come to simulating this famous RAF mission given the geography of the maps provided with either WOE or WOV. Bascially you've got a night formation flight long distance over water to hit a target miles away from any friendly support. Oh, and then you've got to get home again. Sound familiar - read Vulcan 607.
 
[installation Instructions]
ReadMe files for the mission and accompanying static aircraft installation are included in the .zip file, together with appropriate copyright information.

Update V1.10
This mod has been updated to remove direct link details to the original A-team Victor K2 model. To acquire the model contact Capun at capun1950@yahoo.com to request access.
 
To install, simply replace the existing file VictorK2_DATA.INI with the new version I have provided here.
 
There are also a few minor tweaks to the anti-collision lights included in the mod. Nothing else has changed in the _DATA.ini, only the lights.
 
Cheers, kind regards, P.T (comrpnt). :-)

Update v1.10
The SH-3 has been removed from this pack on request. To acquire the original model please contact Capun at capun1950@yahoo.com to request access to the model.
 
This pack provides a way to add more life into the otherwise sparsely populated airfields in SFP1 and WOV. I thought that I'd have a go at trying to use existing aircraft as the basis of complex static/parked aircraft. Here is the result. I hope you enjoy using them.
 
[Thanks]
Many thanks to all those folks who created the original aircraft I've used as the basis for my own editing. And also many thanks for the hints, tips and support over the past few weeks on the forums. Without you this work would not have been possible.
 
This posting consists of a set of complex static/parked aircraft, a mission (.msn) file that makes use of them, and an extract of the optional changes to the VIETNAMSEA_TARGETS.INI (or equivalent) file that you may want to apply to populate Airfield 1 further with support equipment. Installation instructions are provided in the enclosed README.TXT.
 
The mission is based at Da Nang, South Vietnam and consists of two squadrons of RAF complex static/parked aircraft and some AI aircraft on final approach.
 
On the ramp you'll find RAF 74 Sqn and RAF 56 Sqn.
 
At the North end of the runway are two QRA shelters containing two armed F4-Js and support equipment. All ready to go.
 
On final approach are a pair of Mk6 Lightnings from RAF 5 Sqn. Lined up behind the Lightnings is a RAAF C-130J transport aircraft on final approach. Behind the C-130J is a RAAF A310 MRTT on final approach.
 
Two jeeps are also driving around the airfield. The first one circuits the aircraft on the ramp. The second drives to and parks up at the North QRA complex.
 
More to follow in subsequent phases.
 
Regards, P.T.

Lockheed NF-104A High Altitude Research Flight
 
The mission contained within this pack reproduces the flight profile for a typical high altitude research flight carried out by a Lockheed NF-104A.
 
More information on a typical zoom flight profile replicated in the enclosed mission can be found here: www.nf104.com
 
NOTE: This mission pack has been tested with the October 2008 patch for Strike Fighters.

This pack puts approach lights at the end of each runway and anti-collision lights on all tall buildings and structures, for each type and layout of runway for all friendly airfields.
 
Updated for October 2008 Thirdwire Patch: Alternative airfield lighting definition files are now included that work with the October 2008 patched version of the game.

Fixed a bug in D5 airfield runway definition in _targets.ini - I forgot to set the heading back to 60 degrees (set to 0 degrees for development only.)
 
Update v1.10
Added alternative airfield lighting definition files, compatible with the Thirdwire October 2008 version of the game. Removed test mission file and supporting files, to simplify the download content and installation process.
