File Name: VMF-211, Ewa HI, December, 1941 File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 3 Jan 2009 File Category: US Navy and USMC F4F-3 Wildcat Skin, VMF-211, Ewa HI, for SF/WoV/WoE PTO installs -Yet another "Pearl Harbor Defender" (well, almost -- they were all on the ground at the time....) This skin represents VMF-211 as based at MCAS Ewa, Territority of Hawaii, approximatly December, 1941. Information I've found in my researches seem to indicate that not all of 211' s aircraft were sent to Wake Island prior to the Pearl Harbor Attack. So, I offer this skin. The paint job is still the pre-war non-specular gray, sometimes called "Neutrality Gray", as photographic evidence, and some references exist that point to the USMC not yet having applied the non-spec blue to the upper surfaces. Decals represent the standard type as seen on Naval/Marine aircraft of the time, and include BuNums and aircraft type on the tail. --NOTE: this mod is designed for use ONLY on the F4F-3 Wildcat mod I released some ago; NOT for the F4F-4. Totally different aircraft-- -= NOTE: You MUST have the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06 to get the WW2 weapons and guns and such =- -== This aircraft has been tested in SF/WoV/WoE and post-patch WoI (8/08) as well as post 9/08 & 10/08 SF/WoV/WoE. There still are some 'issues' with prop-plane flight models, but there has been a MARKED improvement!! You use it in these Post Patch Environments at YOUR own risk ==- Easy to follow instructions in the enclosed readme... Happy Landings! Wrench kevin stein Click here to download this file

That's odd...just got the same thing in my non-patched version!!!! Methinks that it's a terrain issue, as strike and recon are working fine. Maybe there's not enough Axis shipping routes? I must admit, I haven't spent any time really looking at the targets and movements inis in BoB -- to busy intercepting bombers!! EDIT: hmm...BoB (original - not the campaing versions) only has 2 shipping routes. the EAWEuro WW2 has several. I'll transfer the Hudson over, and see what gives in the Pacific, just for s**ts and grins... Wrench kevin stein

THAT's what I wanted!!! Usually, when I've gotten that, it's for a mission type not supported (anti-ship on The Range, say) or as mentioned above, the airbase size issue. That's why I've tried to add a least 1 medium airfield for each side in my WW2 rebuilds/updates. Ed, what plane, what mission type, and just the BoB and Midway terrains, or others??? BoB COULD stand to have some larger airfeleds -- at least a runway1 for the bombers, most definately on the RAF side (probably for the LW too...) Midway we're kinda stuck with what we got, due to the size of the island. Wrench kevin stein

Hmmm...none of my WW2 installs are patched, so I've got no problems with them. (due to the FM issues). I do have a fully patched WoI WW2 that I 'experiment' with... In patched WoE (my all is everything modern-ish install), everything seems to be working..34 terrians, not including the ww2 one, however. Ed, when it crashes, does the Micro$oft error reporting box pop up? If so, what error message does it say? (the 'click here to see what this report says' thingy). Usually will tell which dll is releated to the crash. Wrench kevin stein

Hmmm .... didn't know TMF had released their WoV/WoE pak yet... Are you talking about this one, perhaps? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=7362 You might notice it's for WoI ONLY...that might explain the missing bits for WoV/WoE. It's what might be called a "theatre & era specific wep pak" Wrench kevin stein

They also have an annoying tendency to infest hovercraft... Wrench kevin stein

That gives us the PBO variant, but abou the AAF's A-28/29???? AAF used them during Torch??? That's what the yellow outline usually means ... I guess I'll have to recheck my Warpaint book (btw, if you want a copy, shoot me a pm) just kidding!! used standard RAF colors, execpting for having the 13 red/white rudder stripes and "star-and-meatball" Velto's got the new hangar and loading screens; the loading screen is an A-29 killing a U-boat, the first US kill.

File Name: Ki-43 Oscar (ArmorDave) Skin and Ini Update Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 31 Dec 2008 File Updated: 31 Dec 2008 File Category: Ki-43 Ki-43, Early War Skin and Ini Update Pak For SF/WoV/WoE PTO Installs This is a partial re-skin, and ini update package for ArmorDave's Ki-43 Oscar. IMPORTANT: this is NOT for the Oscar from Wolf257's WW2 Planes Pak -- it is ONLY for the Oscar released by ArmorDave in his "Japanese Planes Pak" that contains the Zeke, Betty and this early model Oscar. The skin represents 11 Sentai, 1st Chutai during the opening months of the war, as seen and used in Southeast Asia, Netherlands East Indies, Malaya, etc region. Decals and instructions are provided below in the "To Create the Additional Chutias" will allow you to also recreate the 2nd & 3rd Chutais, effectively giving you the entire Fighter Regiment. I say this is a 'partial reskin', as I only created layers in a new template to remove ONLY those items necesary for this mod. Also included is an updated textureset.ini for the original 'camo' skin, giving it the corrected Sentai/Chutai names. New, updated inis include some small renaming in the main ini (to help diferentiate this early model Ki-43-Ia from Wolfs and other Oscar mods by me), data ini with additional and corrected lighting, and the cockpit ini with a new gunsight tga. The Flight Model remains untouched! = IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed for use in SF/WoV/WoE -ONLY-, It has =NOT= been tested it in post 8/28/08 patch WoI, nor post 9/08 - 10/08 patch SF/WoV/WoE. You use it in these enviroments at YOUR own risk. = =This mod is designed for use with the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06, as it contains all the needed weapons . If attempting to use this aircraft with any other weapons pak, you'll need to add ALL the WW2 era guns, bombs, torpedoes, etc. They are NOT included in this package.= As expected, there's the standard detailed readme. It's kinda reccomended you give a look through, just so's you know what's going on! Happy Hunting! Wrench Kevin Stein Click here to download this file

?? I thought we were up to like 26 or 27 WW2 players?? Don't forget, we just got a "convert" in mppd!!! This is just the tip of the iceberg (or tropical island or whatever...) Wait till you see the Zeros, Kates, Vals, and several others that are still to come!! All real credit HAS to go to AD, for giving us this early model! Thank you all, and me and Mrs Wrench wish EVERYONE a Happy New Year!! Wrench kevin stein

You'll also find those new AI sections on the MiGs, too. Experimentatly, I've been adding them (strafe and rocket AI sections) to some WW2 planes in pre-patch WoE (ie: using the Oct '06 patch), and I've seen some improvement there as well. Wrench kevin stein

I take you found this thread....... http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...ost&p=82098 I did this over 4 1/2 years ago.... You can easily swap out the CBU-24s for Mk81s or BLU-10 napalm canisters (if they were worth a damn). I chose the cluster bombs because I have a mean streak.... Wrench kevin stein

Birthday AND New Year's Eve??? Oh, man....he is gonna be soooo useless tommorrw!!!! Have a super, super great day bro!!! Wrench kevin stein

???? F-4F ICE has been out for like 4 or 5 years....it should be over at C5's site. The HAF F-4E and F-4E AUP are right here (although I disremember if I added the AHM tag to the Sparrow stations; methinks the HAF Rhino's aren't wired for AARAMs) EDIT: a quick check of the data and loadout inis say I did. Wrench kevin stein

Don't EVEN get me started on the incorrect colors or wrong serials...I'm going bat-s**t crazy crosseyed and blind trying to get the correct colors for the ML-KNIL Buffalos! Even with all the great info I've been sent. Even with FS numbers, and the RGB equlivants (to make paint swatches from)...it's like every monitor is different! --- Something I like to do, is add a 'fading' layer -- I take 10% gray, create a new layer, flood the whole thing with it, erase it from obvious thing that should be lightened (engines, tires, cockpit interiors), then reduce the opacity to between 5 - 10%. Testing in game all the time in between. It take some time, but it can give the entire aircraft a more worn look, and dulls down the colors. Any other wear and tear; chipping scratches, etc can be added in another layer. I also always use a "dirt, mud and various crap" layer (yes, that what I call it!!) for the well, dirt mud and various crap that get tossed onto the undersides from muddy fields. Exhaust , oil stains and gun blastback also gets their own layers. I can't wait for this one!!! Wrench kevin stein

This thing look sooo sweet!!! All the little details, puts my skins to shame!! For fun, here's a new patch.bmp, that I was gonna use for the 1 Sqdn AASF skin... it's the attachment below. It's the squadron crest, like I like to use for my skins when I can find them (RAF actualy being the easiest!) Good stuff Mike!! Wrench kevin stein

I like the mix of the med sea gray/green with the mid stone (? or is it dark earth ?) and green!!! that'll confuse the heck outta Jerry!!! all in all...looking REAL good. Now, I have to find Hudson/A-29 art work for a hangar screen.... Wrench kevin stein

mike: try Jennifer Garner (Alias, Daredevil, Electra) Interesting to note the terrain choices here... Wrench kevin stein

It should be, but I couldn't find it either... here's what you do: using Skypats Cat Extractor tool, extract the "HUDDdata.ini" from the FlightData.cat open the HUDData.ini in any text editor, notepad works fine. scroll down until you see the following entry: there are a couple of way to eliminate it; 1) comment out the "DisplayType=" line, thusly: //DisplayType=RADAR <-- note the 2 slash marks or 2) reduce the display sizes to 0 thusly: Width=0.0 Height=0.0 This will make it disappear. Also, if you want to remove the background box from the on-screen text displays, go back to the top section, and to this... that should take of you Wrench kevin stein

My first girlfriend in High School had one of the Vega GTs...exactly as you described - red wth the white stripe. Spent many and hour driving up and down Mullhuland and the canyons in that thing . Horsepower? -- yah, like none!!! Good in the turns Cosworth Vegas...well, that's a 'hole nuther story.... Instresting to note, a few years later, Chevy came out with the Monza's, basicaly the Vega chassis -but now with an available 5.0 ltr V8 (305 cid). Always wondered how them little tiny disc brakes, and really small drums in back were able to stop that thing!! It was REALLLLY fun trying to the the last spark plugs (disremember if it was 6/8 or 5/7) I remember you had to disconnect the motor mount, and jack up the engine. BTW, I still have the special tool required to collapse the rear drum self adjuster mechanisms. I don't even think this tool is available anymore, anywhere, from anyone. Yah, lots of memories.....sigh..... Wrench kevin stein 18436572

Only 13 installs??? (this from the guy who's pared his down to 17 from 21....) WoE TMF F-15, TMF F-16, TMF Mirage IIICJ * Widesky, BunyapPak (edited to remove some things --until TMF's WoE pak comes out) ??? so many good terrains (and some REALLY good rebuilds...) Can I have Jenny Garner instead, for a terrain to explore???? Wrench kevin stein you'll probably think I'm a bit "odd" selecting jets, when I'm such a confirmed prop-head
