Horton Ho-229V3a Flying Wing Upgrade Pak For SF/WoV/WoE: ETO & MTO "SWOTL" Style Installs



-06 Patch Level Installs ONLY


 
This is a semi-new aircraft, based off Pako's original Ho-229. I've created a 'production' variant, had the War In Europe lasted further into 1945/46. This is a complete aircraft mod, with all parts included. The new inis will reflect the 'full production' version, as this aircraft can be tasked with pretty much all mission profiles. 2 underwing (body?) pylons have been added via the Fake Pilot Method for bombs, drop tanks and the Kramer X-4 air-to-air missile. The weapons are NOT included; they can be found in my WW2 Weapons Pak, available at CombatAce. Other tweeks (borrowed from my post-war What If.. F-79 Manta) include the additon of running, formation and landing lights.
 
Two new skins, from my upsized home-grown templates with all redrawn panel lines, and standard Luftwaffe stencling, are included. They are:
 
JG-1 in Europe, done up in a 1945-ish RLM 70/81 over 78
JG-27 in North Africa/Middle East, done in a 'mottle' finish of RLM 79/80 over 78 (the same as the Fw-190 skin I did some years back)
 
1/JG-400, Pasko's original skin for Europe, with new individual aircraft numbers.
 
So, in essence, you can create 2 new aircraft; one for your "SWTOL" ETO install and another for a MTO version. The 2 new skins are NOT designed to work together in an ETO only based install. See "Splitting Theatre Usage" in the Install Instructions below. Also, there is some "unique" behavior exhibited in the 06 patch level games, PLEASE read the "Flying the 229" section in the "Notes" below!!!
 
Individual aircraft number decals for 32 aircraft are included for all, as they are different colors. Unfortunatly no Stab markings are included, although I DO have them as decals around here somewheres..... Just couldn't figure out HOW to do them properly for a Flying Wing!! The tail swastika is also NOT on the aircraft, which IS historically accurate, as there are NO vertical surfaces for it to be put on!
 
My patent-pending artwork-style Hangar and Loading screens are also included, as are the damage tgas.
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder somwhere, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. It's reccomended you read it all the way through, so as to be familarized with the procedures, and whatever issues I've encountered.
 
Good Hunting!

Lockheed Hudson Tweeks Pak -For SF/WoV/WoE WW2 ETO Installs
 
Some small ini mods and a new gunsight for Veltro2K's RAF medium bomber.
 
The data ini has had the lighting repositioned, modified and adjusted to more closely match those seen on Real Life ™ aircraft. The loadout ini has been adjusted for the use of 'RAF***' type bombs only (although US AN series can still be loaded on the loading screen), and the cockpit ini has the addition of a 'ring-and-bead' type gunsight.
Enhanced AI sections have also been added.
 
Several sub-folder that are included here contain new textureset inis for the "CC" and "RAF1" skins, with the addition of the squadron names, and the inclusion of the Squadron Crests as the patch.bmp. The folder name remain the same, but the 'in-game' name you'll see will reflect these changes. CC will now show "48 Squadron, Coastal Command". RAF1 will now show "500 Squadron".
 
=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 a nice readme included -- the MOD requres you read it and follow the instructions therein
 
Enjoy!

Polikarpov I-16-10 CAF update package for SF/WoV/WoE WW2: PTO installs
 
This little package will upgrade Wolf's cute little Soviet fighter to fit more with current standards of loads, lights and cockpit. You'll be transfering files from another of his WW2 Planes, so make sure you have them installed.
 
I've included a newer version of Wolf's Chinese Air Force skin. The skin has newly redrawn panel lines, 'interperative' rivets added (meaning I claim no historical accuracy for their placement), some weathering and general dirt added. But -- the credit for the original skin is STILL with Wolf; all I did was fiddle with some eye candy bits.
 
This package contains tweeked data, loadout and cockpit inis. The cockpit ini (now called "Rata_Cockpit.ini) is a copy of the one from Wolf's Tomahawk/P-40B, as it has a better look for this aircraft (albeit not perfect, but workable). You will be transfering the cockpit folder from the Tomahawk for use in this aircraft. The ini has had the pilot positions adjusted to match the I-16, plus some 'moves' courtesy of what I've learned from Lexx_Luthor.
 
I have also included a small (25kg) WW2 Soviet bomb, that comes with the Dev A-Team's IL-2, so you'll be using the weapons editor to add this as well.
 
 
==NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK INSTALLED TO GET THE WW2 WEAPONS!!==
=You MUST Also have the WW2 Nations Ini to have the correct nations=
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for fully detailed, step-by-step install instructions, plus the usual notes, commentaries and propaganda

IAI Sa'ar, Fuerza Aérea Hondureña (Honduran Air Force) for SF/WoV/WoE/WoI and probably SF2
 
-Part of an on-going series of mod recreating Central American Airpower
 
This is a compliation mod, mixing and matching several bits by 2 very good authors into one, nationalized aircraft.
 
This package included the IAI Sa'ar by ErikGen and the Honduran AF skins by museli, combined with some ini edits by me to recreate the Sa'ar as flown by the Hondurans in the late 1970s through the mid 1990s.
 
This is a complete aircraft mod, containing all the parts necessary to just unzip, install and fly away (excepting you'll still need to add the drop tanks)
 
This mod is designed for use with, I'm hoping, ANY weapons pak. You may just need to add a few things. The drop tanks are included, in the new folder format for SF/WoV/WoE/WoI, and includes a _data.ini for possible use in SF2 (this is untested by me)
 
IMPORTANT: a NEW Nations.ini is included with the mod that superceeds the previously released version. Simply put, I'd totally forgotten to add Columbia to the listing; which would cause MAJOR issues!!! Sorry! So, just replace the pre-existing versions with this one.
 
= IMPORTANTx2: This aircraft has been tested in Post-Patch SF/WoV/WoE/WoI. Be advised of the existence of some handling issues prevelant in WW2 era and many Pre-Patch (ie: 06 level) aircraft. Fly accordingly!!! It should also work in SF2 and later iterations - this has NOT been tested, however.
 
With thanks to ErikGen and museli for creating the aircraft and skins, respectively
As always, unzip this to a temp folder somwhere, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions.

IDF TA-4H Skyhawk by Fracture/Pappychksix 8/7/2001
 
=For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred)
 
** May (ok, probably) Requires SF2:V -hence the Full-4 Merged requirement-, as the A-4E_67 cockpit and avionics are referenced for the Mod. If you don't have these
minimum requirements, you shouldn't download this, as you may not be able to use it withOUT heavy editing **
 
This is a overhaul of Fracture/pappychksix' IDF TA-4H Skyhawk trainer/attack aircraft. All the inis have been brought up to the latest (as of July, 2011) standard. Some modifications to the avionics are more for 'playability', as research showed these most likely did not have an RWR (but knowing the Israelies....). The
standard NAV/Attack radar, yes. Loadouts use all common or garden variety stock weapons. It is set to fly all mission profiles as any other standard Scooter..
New damage textures (dds) and a new SF2-style hangar screen are included.
 
Please note, that like the TA-4J recently released, the very same shadow issues =WILL= be present, as it uses the TA-4J's lod. You'll just have to live with that (see Notes below)
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... Fracture's original readme is also included.

II/JG-51 Skin for MontyCZ S-99


 

For SF2 WW2 MTO/ETO installs


 
A fairly simple skin for Monty's S-99 (here representing the Bf-109G-6) as used in North Africa/MTO theatre by Jg-51. Simple, because II/JG51 didn't seem to use any stab marking or ID numbers, making this an easy skin.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed (and very simple in this case) instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install.

IL-28 Beagle Cockpit Upgrade for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE/WoI and SF2
 
Modifications and repaints to the stock F-4B Phantom cockpit creates a 'reasonably facsimile' twin-jet engine pit for use on the otherwise "AI Only" Ilyushin IL-28 'Beagle". I say 'reasonable', as the Real Life ™, the Beagle didn't have a radar scope in the cockpit; all that was handled by the bomb aimer/navigator. But, this will allow the Player Pilot some control over what happens.
 
This is a complete package, with all the necessary bits to just unzip, and install into your game install of choice. As I knew this mod would work in the Classic Series (SF/SFG/Wo-whatever), most of the testing was done is SF2. This assured me that all would work (more or less) as advertised.
For SF2/2:V players, specfic inis for those games are included, edited as necessary to match those of the Classic Series.
For Classic Series users, the data ini included is for use in those installs at the 08 patch level.
Both data inis included herein have had some small adjustments in the gun aim angles, and landing lights added for those bothersome night operations, and a small tweek to the landing gear's rolling radius.
 
Also included is a generic WoE-Style hangar screen (usable in ALL versions of the series), and the loadout.bmp for the Loading Screen. For those that don't have them, the MiG-style RWR sounds are here for your enjoyment and panicification (with no display, you won't know WHAT kind of radar, or where ... just somebody's looking at YOU!!! <evil grin> )
 
As always, detailed instruction are included below in the "To Install" section. It's reccomended that you unzip this package to temp folder or your desktop to gain access to the rest of the readme FOR said instructions. The "Notes and Other Nonsensical Ramblings" section will make good reading too, for explinations and etc.

IL-28 Beagle, Fuerza Aérea Revolucionara (Cuba) (semi-fictional)
 
= For SF2, Any and All, Merged or Not, With Access to the IL-28 =
 
This skin pak creates Cuban Air Force (FAR) IL-28s, had they been assembled and put into service during The Crisis of Oct/Nov 1962. (as everyone knows, of course, they weren't)
 
A new, edited Userlist.ini is included adding Cuba, with a VERY short operational life span (2 years). No other changes have been effected. All markings, etc, are stock; with the exception of the tail's skin bmp -it was partly retemplated to redraw panel and rivet lines to add the FAR flash.
 
An 'optional' folder includes a set of inis and will make the IL-28 player-flyable (if you've not done so already), using all stock in-game items (ie: F-4B pit, due to it's twin-engine annunciators, and GM radar. Probably not perfect, but it works! <grin>). The cockpit ini has had all the readings/measurments converted to metric standard (Kilometers per hour, Meters-per-second, etc). An audio-only RWR is included (don't know IF they actualy had one...but it'll help out somewhat). Small data ini tweeks add landing lights and some AI data. A new Hangar screen is included for those so inclined to use it.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, somewhat detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them ....

India-Pakistan Water Bmp Fix Pak 7/18/2012
 
- For SF2, Any and All, But Designed for Full-5 Merged w/SF2NA -
 
A very small fix that removes a "modder induced problem" (hangs head in shame), with the _water.bmp for the India-Pakistan Terrain.
 
I had totally forgotten that the Game Engine ™ classes India as an "Enemy" nation, therefore it uses the 'other color' for it's carrier zones. I'd orignally used the 'standard green', as seen on various others; that's the 'Friendly Nation' (Blue Side) color. That pale-ish green is used for those classed an 'Red Side".
 
This is now corrected. A Blue Side green zone was added in case anyone make Pakistani Navy ships, so the DD/FF/whatever groups have someplace to steam around.
 
Sorry for the inconvience!

Iran-Iraq Replacement Desert Tileset 7/3/2013
 
-For SF2, any/all at any patch level-
 
*Note: these tiles will also work in SF/Wo* 1stGen games for the listed terrains*
 
This package contains nearly 60 new Desert2*** tiles, both in bmp and tga (for the seashore tiles) that will replace the original "blindingly white" desert and desert2*** transitions for the following terrains:
 
Desert Storm
 
Iran/Iraq
 
Iran/Iraq 2003
 
These are designed =ONLY= for use on the above listed terrains. Not for ANYTHING else!
 
By using the IsraelME Desert1 & 2 as a base, these tiles are direct replacements for the originals. ALL transitions, including all river, roads, 3-ways, etc are new builds. As direct replacements, this will not effect target placements or TOD object placements.
 
For the other Terraformers, I've included the multi-mega layered PSD with all the tile layers divided into terrain type sets (sea, mountain, road, etc).
 
For those that wish, 3 new planning maps are included for the "IR2003" terrain. Red & Blue side will now show correctly.
 
So as not to totally foul up one's terrain(s), it's HIGHLY advised to =READ= the install instructions after unzipping, but =BEFORE= installing them, as you've a couple of things to do first.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!

Iran-Iraq Terrain


 
 

- For SF2, Full-4 Merged (or any with access to the Desert cat) -



(Although Perfered Usage is as a Complete Stand-Alone Iran/Iraq War Mod)


 
This is a complete and total rebuild of the Iran/Iraq terrain from oh, so long ago. The entire map has been retiled, using Polak's Desert Storm set (also with some updates) with the addition of rivers, more farms, cities and an major expansion of the target areas. Simply put, those that have or seen the original probably won't recognize the place!!
 
Although designed with the 1980-88 War in mind, it can (with EXTENSIVE reworking) be made over for use for any time period, up to and including the Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait/Desert Shield (more in the "Notes" below). While many of the neighboring countries DO have (minimal) targets added, they are set as NEUTRAL, and have 0 value targets, as they are beyond the scope of the main focus of the map -- the Iran/Iraq War. However, the major airports ARE there, also NEUTRAL.
 
MANY new tiles have been added, updating of some originals (to make them fit and look better), and LOTS of custom TODs for buildings and trees and such. Including ALL new river AND road tiles for all 3 types of terrain (desert, farm, mountain), with all the transitions. While not perfect, given game/terrain engine limitations, these changes make the region look more like it should. Unfortunately, however, some rivers and other terrain features are NOT replicated due to the height field display of the terrain, making it virtually impossible to do so. This is especially true for regions in Iran that are heavily mountainous; or have some other "oddities" due to airfield flattening. Roads may also NOT follow their actual paths.
Other changes are to Runway 2 and Runway 3, that have been retextured to fully paved (no more FOD from dirt!!)
 
It is also reccomened you have the Pasko's Ground Objects, and Kesselbrut's Vehicles Pak, the GAZ trucks, etc; in short any and all add-on SAMs, AAA, vehicles, ships, and whatnot from any and all other terrain mods. HOWEVER -- make sure said add-on objects are CORRECT for the theatre and timeframe. (SA-2, SA-3 and SA-6 for the big Iraqi SAMs -btw, 2 & 6s are stock items) While NOT all are included, some are. Wherever possible, I've tried to stick with stock, historic items. Several new, "nation specific" items ARE included. Aircraft are NOT.
 
As to be expected, there are some Easter Eggs. Most are scattered around the map; some are actual historic World Heritage sites.
 
While this can be used in a SF2 series (any), it is reccomended that it be used in a Stand-Alone Mods Folder dedicated to the Iran/Iraq War only. As it uses desert tile/terrain naming conventions, it points to the Desert.cat. As all tiles and most terrain objects are either stock or included, it should work with any of the stock Cats, =EXCEPTING= SF2:I's IsrealME. Use of that cat is =NOT= reccomended.
 
It is highly reccomended that you READ this entire document through before installing this mod. If you don't, you're SURE to run into problems. And then, well, you know the drill. You get clowned on. Hard. As usual, the expansive "Notes and Other BS" section for clarifications, elaborations, explainations and general ramblings.

Iran-Iraq 2003+ Terrain
 
- For SF2, Full-4 Merged (Reccomended) -
 
This is a complete and total rebuild of the 1980s version of the Iran/Iraq terrain, into a slightly more modern version. IE: Post-0IF, and especially designed/rebuilt for the Operation Darius mod now circulating around. This is a completly seperate map, and will NOT conflict with the 1980s Iran-Iraq War map.
 
Basically, the sides have been switched; making Iran enemy and Iraq friendly (as it's most definatly post-OIF). The terrain has the Limited Nations statments set, modified movements ini, some minor retiling and additions to the _targets and _types inis. The terrain also has a 'fixed' StartDate= of 2003. The rest of the Gulf states have been reactivated as FRIENDLY, but the majority of cities in Kuwait, Bahrain, Quatar and Saudi Arabia are basically 'just there for show'. OTH, all the airfields are now active.
OTH, again, new planning maps were NOT generated -- so don't be alarmed when seeing the markers as Red in Iraq, and Blue in Iran. I just didn't want to redo them.
 
No GroundObjects are included with this terrain ... for Op Darius they are/will be a seperate download. They also should NOT conflict with amongst themselves, if/when installed to a 'general all-incusive' game install, as they've been adapted for use in all installs (ie: many are nation specific, and all have new correct userlists).
 
As always, detailed install instructions are included below.
 
Enjoy!
