Focke Wulf Fw-190A5 Upgrade Package for SF, WoV & WoE WW2 ETO/SWOTL Installs:
 
This is a re-paint and rebadging of original Fw-190A5, with completly redrawn rivet and panel lines. Wolf was always good about giving us the templates with his birds, and I've put this one to VERY good use.
 
This skin represents Fw-190A5s from 3/JG2 in the 43/44 time frame in Western Europe/Occupied France (you know, about the time of D-Day). I make NO claims to historical accuracy; I have just enough knowledge of Luftwaffe camo & markings to get into trouble (but I'm getting better!), and I'm sure there are much more educated folks out there on the subject.
 
I -have- tried to make it as accurate as possible, even to getting the proper RLM colors added to my swatch list. As best I could, I even added the little warning placards around the fuselage, wings and tail. Along with the 'eagle head' shape over the fuselage. Included is the nose art for aircraft #13, as flown by 'Pips' Priller.
 
This is a complete package, replacing the original data, loadout, cockpit and main inis, due to several modifications I've effected. There are even new hangar and loading screens, 2 of each to choose from (one just being a revamp of my original). These screens can be used on any version of the Butcher Bird.
 
This skin can also be used on any other versions of the FW-190, just edit the decals ini to point to the correct mark
 
---- Please note you MUST have the latest Weapons Pack for the WW2 Axis weapons ----
(but you probably already do!!)
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for more, detailed instructions.

North Atlantic 2-Tone Gray Camo for KM Ju-87T Stuka
 
Another skin for my "What If..." carrier based Ju-87T, which is modded from Pasko's original Stuka. It represents a fictional North Atlantic 2-tone Gray.
 
Since there exists NO available templates to reskin ANY of Pasko's birds (or at least none I could find), I had to use his original splinter camo as a base for this (see the original readme for the Ju-87T). What I wound up doing is creating a multi-layer psd file for the needed skin bmps, and redrawing every single panel and rivet line.
So, all credit goes to the original skin creator, whoever that might be; but...
This is a NEW skin (albeit based off stock), from a NEW template, created by ME!!! And let me tell ya, re-drawing all those little buggers is a real PITA!!!
 
Please read the readme for install instructions and perhaps some notes of interest, in particular about the unit badge decals.

North Atlantic Gray/Swirl/Faded Splinter Camo for KM Bf-109T10
 
Another skin for my "What If..." carrier based Bf-109T10, modded from Wolf257's original G10. It represents a fictional North Atlantic Gray (ish) swirly pattern, superimposed over the splinter. The splinter has been lightly painted over, so it still should 'bleed' through. The (fictional) squadron represented is JGM100, same as that which came in the Bf-109T10 mod.
 
Please read the readme for install instructions, and other notes of interest.

New skin and some ini mods for Russo's superb N model Jug.
Represents the 36th FBS, had they had Thunderbolts. Ini mods reflect latest patches, and the addition of formation and landing lights. Includes serial and buzz numbers for 36 aircraft. Serials are actual P-47N numbers.
You must have the latest weapons pack for this to work. Also, please read the readme for more informations
 
With thanks to Russo for the aircraft, and especially for the templates!

West German Luftwaffe A-4E Skyhawk for SF, WoV & WoE:
 
This is a mod the stock 3rd Wire A-4E Skyhawk joining the ranks of "What If..." they had been purchased by the West German Air Force, to replace their Fiat G-91s while awaiting the arrival of the Tornado IDS, in the light to medium attack/strike role. (due to 'unforseen delays' in the Toros)
 
I feel an aircraft like the Scooter is almost perfect for the European environment: light, fast, manuverable, good weapons fits, easy to fly and maintain, survivable, etc.
Did I mention it was fun to fly???
 
This is a full aircraft mod tested in SF, WoV, and totally designed for WoE.
This aircraft is designed with the latest Weapons Pak in mind, and has had it's loadouts adjusted accordingly.
I also 'split' the hardpoints, to allow for asymetrical loads on the outboard pylons.
It uses the stock A-4F cockpit (supplied via the cat file! - saves on space in the d/load)
 
I've also repainted the stock gunsight tga, by making in a brighter yellow. Makes it easier to see for us old folks ;)
Also, it is reccomened that you grab 'Range Counter Fix' for the Skyhawks. .
There's also a real nice 'photoreal' cockpit upgrade for F model Scooters.
Both are available here at CombatAce ... I reccomend them!
 
This is version 2 of this mod, as there were some issues I need to fix, and had relased the other before total completion.
If you d/led the original, I suggest deleting it and getting this upgraded version. Sorry for the inconvience
 
Skin created using stock 3rd Wire templates.
Camo pattern by Gramps; modified for European-style colors (thanks Richard!!)

McD/Boeing RAF Eagle FGR.1 Mod for WoE ONLY!!
 
Another "What If..."
This is a package of ini and skin (well, decals, anyway) mods for the stock F-15A that comes with WoE. It creates a new aircraft, for use by the Royal Air Force.
 
From the ReadMe:
 
= TO INSTALL:
 
It IS suggested that you have the latest weapons pak installed to get the maximum use out of the available weapons capabilities....but this is easily changed to use the "stock" non-modifed weapons. More on that later....
 
== REMEMBER: This mod is for use in WOE -ONLY!!!- as all the parts ONLY exist there ==
--- Also -- this if for the STOCK 3rd Wire F-15A ONLY - NOT the MF version ---
REMEMBER -- this is NOT a full aircraft, and you MUST have Wings Over Europe to make use of this aircraft mod.
 
When you unzip to a temp directory, a new "Eagle_FGR1" folder will be created. In it you'll find everything you need to just copy/paste this new bird into your /objects/aircraft folder. Including all the modified stock inis and new damage tgas, somehow overlooked, which are also usable on the standard WoE F-15A. But you'r not ready to fly yet.....
 
All the cockpit files, cockpit ini, etc, are making use of ALL the stock WoE bits. They are NOT included, but the ini is (to make your life a little easier; & cause I forgot to remove it!)
 
You'll find a bunch of inis, bmps, tgas, whathave you for this install. The data ini has had the NationName= set to "RAF", so when you fly you'll get RAF medals, and have British flightmates. The loadout has also been adjusted to use UK and USAF weapons.
 
Just about all types of weapons are loadable, most particulary EOGB, ASM, ARM, EOGR, TV guided missiles, iron bombs and CBUs. The aircraft is NOT equiped with a laser designator, so LGBs are not an option.
 
REMEMBER -- this is NOT a full aircraft, and you MUST have Wings Over Europe to make use of this aircraft mod.
 
You'll have the skin folders; "RAF" which just contains a few decals and inis -- you'll need to transfer over the 6 skin bmps from your stock WOE F-15A, as these are reused. In fact, even the decals are the stock ones, just desaturated by me to give them that 'lo-viz' look. The RAF serials are also stock in-game from the F-4M Phantom. They may not be historically correct (yeah, like anything in this mod IS???), but they fit into the era, and look nice.
 
-getting the point?? this is for WoE ONLY -- I will not violate copyright and upload files that at not leagle to share. --
 
There are further, more detailed instructions for those without the weapons pak -- folks, I spent a lot of time on the readme (actually, more on that than modding the bird!!!), so for the love of flying, I beg you -PLEASE- read it!!
 
With thanks to all the other crazies out there like me that just can't leave a good thing alone!
Take that Fighter Mafia!!!

MiG-15bis BS Fighter Bomber 'stand-in' For SF, WoV & WoE
 
From the readme:
 
Based on some discussions & wishes for more 'NATO Fighters' mods, I thought I see if I could do a quick and dirty hack job and create the fighter-bomber version of the MiG-15bis as used by the Soviet and other client state's air forces.
Mind you, it is exactly what I say it is -- a hack job adding the extra wing hardpoints 'virtually' via data ini edits, but it seems relatively close to what should actually be there...
 
I hope you like this little tweek; albeit not perfect, it does add another version of this historical, and varied aircraft.
 
-- This mod is designed for use with the Weapons Pak!!! --
 
Ok, first off...this is NOT a full aircraft mod; this is only a group of inis and a few other bits. You WILL need to have Pasko's MiG-15bis already installed, as you will be transfering most of the physical parts (the aircraft itself). Also as there is no cockpit with the original, you will probably want to use one of the Russianized Skyhawk pits available at CombatAce. The cockpit ini supplied with the kit is built around that one; either the black or green, it dosen't matter.
I've built the ini's around a standard Soviet Air Force version; if you want it to be for another country (ie: Czech AF), you should know by now the edits necessary to create a 'country specific' version of the aircraft.
 
Please read the readme for further, detailed instructions for installation!!!

This is a modification of the stock MiG-19S Farmer-C into the limited all weather, radar equiped 19P. Since the base aircraft exists in all versions of the game, no LODs are included. In fact, everything, but the radar nose, cockpt, and few other bits, are all stock items!
 
=NOTICE: you MUST have the latest weapons pak installed to make use of the Izurmud radar nose, and missiles!!=
 
Hopefully, you'll have Magoo & Badger the Bad's MiG-21PFM's cockpit around somewhere, as you're going to be needing it!! If you don't have it, go and get it. You'll probably be wanting it for your Fishbeds anyway, so head over to "SF/WoV/WoE" downloads section, and pick it up!!
 
This package includes some 'new' weapons, so you'll be using the weapons editor to add them.
There are full, detailed install instructions in the readme. There are also some explinations as the the "what's and wherefore's", and an extensive credit list.
 
Most of the credit goes to Lexx_Luthor, for his ideas concerning the 'radar bubble' nose, on this and 19PM Farmer E.

KM Graf Zeppelin Aircraft Carrier
For SF/WoV/WoE WW2: ETO/SWOTL Installs
 
A definate "What If..." style of ship, based off Hinchbrook's HMS Eagle
(and yes, I know the after deck was fully enclosed, as was the bow - it's the best, closest fit we have)
As a WARSHIP, it probably (and hopefully) won't show up in single, anti-ship missions, but can be used in single missions created with the Kreelins Mission Editor or La Missionuer (sp?)
 
With many thinks the Hinch for allowing me to mod his faux-Eagle into something 'passable' for the Krieg Marine.
 
Simply put, this is mostly for fun. So, enjoy it! :)

Hawker Hunter FGA 60 Mod for WoE Mid East Installs ONLY!!
 
Another "What If..." aircraft for you alternate history enjoyment!
This is a ini and skin mod for the stock Hunter FGA 9 that comes with WoE. It creates a new aircraft, for use by the Israeli Defense Forces Air Force.
 
It's suggested that you use this in a seperate Mid-East (Arab vs Isrealis) WoE install; this is how I have it. It will work much better in a seperate install.
 
It IS required that you have the latest weapons pak installed to get the maximum use out of the available weapons capabilities.
 
== REMEMBER: This mod is for use in WOE -ONLY!!!- as all the parts ONLY exist there ==
 
You'll find all the inis, bmps, tgas, whathave you for this install. The data ini has had the NationName= set to "ISRAEL", so when you fly you'll get Israeli medals, and have Israeli flightmates. In other words, this is a semi-complete aircraft, missing only the lod files (which cannot be uploaded or shared as they are core files-which makes this WoE ONLY). You get a new hangar screen, the damage tgas and everything else needed!
 
== REMEMBER: this is NOT a full aircraft, and you MUST have Wings Over Europe to make use of this aircraft mod. ==
 
You'll also have 2 skin folders; IDF and IDF2 representing the 2 different eras the aircraft operated in. The first is the blue/tan camo for the 50s and early 60s, and the 3 tone for use in the 70s and 80s.
The 3 tone skin represents aircraft from the Advanced Fighter School, and were used for training purposes (although some may have been used in the ground support role during the 73 War, alongside the remaining Sabre 6s <wink>)
 
Please read the enclose readme for full install instructions -you're creating a NEW aircraft-, and other important notes.
REMEMBER: This is for WoE ONLY, and requires the Weapons Pak!!!
 
For those without WoE, I am working on a version useing AD's Hunter F.6, so be paitent!

Oz F-4E Package for SF/WoV/WoE
 
This is an update of nosecone's RAAF F-4E Phantom II skin set.
Having never seen this mod before, I made several unkind comments on the message boards, for which I apologized publicly. Also, as part of said apology, I'm updating the inis and pathways so it now become a simple drag/drop or copy paste operation.
 
As a bonus, I'm including all the ini's necessary to create an RAAF country specific version of the Phantom. All inis, and brand new -only available in this mod!- Hangar & Loading screens are included.
 
Amberly Rhino??? That don't sound too bad!!!
 
Once unzipped, you get 2 choices:
 
1) Add the skin to the existing F-4E in the usual manner or;
2) Create a RAAF-only version. I've included everything needed to do so.
 
You also get a new, Bonus Skin, "RAAFGray" Well, all it is, is the 5 texture bmps, decals ini, texture set ini for a Dark Gray Version of the skin, based off the colors used on the F-111C that's available. I just reused everything that nosecone did, since he mentioned something about the "later versions". You will be re-using the decal set provided (ie: copy into the RAAFGray folder)
 
There are full, detailed install instructions in the read me -- so read the cursed thing!!!. There is vitally important information about weapons loads in there. Operation years are a 'best guess', for a "What If..." aircraft.
 
Credits:
All credit goes to nosecone; he created the decals and did all the original work in 2002. All I've done is assemble it into a cohernt package, updated to the latest standard, and create the dark gray skin. (picture not posted here, check the 'Mods and Skinning' Forum for a screenshot)

A Small Modification of Jet-Zs excellent Italian Air Force F-104S-ASA
 
This is a modification of, like it says in the title, of the F-104S-ASA in the final, pen-ultimate Super Starfighter as used by the Italian Air Force.
It is based on JetZ's work, along with Crab_02 3d modeling to create the weapons pylons and a few other niceties that were needed. In fact, very little of the original data ini has been changed, other than updating the weapons types, and service years, and cockpit tweeks by me. All the rest, is still their work.
 
This mod/upgrade/tweek package makes use of several items from the stock games...it is MOST important you have the original 3rd Wire stock issue of the F-104G. Many of it's components are used. --PLEASE NOTE: this is not to be used with any of the Starfighters built and released by Ajundair; it is for the stock 3rd Wire 104G -ONLY-!!!!
 
== THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE AIRCRAFT - YOU WILL NEED THE STOCK 3RD WIRE F-104G TO MAKE USE OF THIS MOD ==
 
You MUST have the latest weapons pak installed to make use of the pylons/ventral strake kit necessary for your missiles and other neat things!!!
 
1) Most important, you'll need to have the stock 3rd Wire F-104G Starfighter, as this is the airframe base. If you don't have it already in game (ie: for WoV*), you can get it at CombatAce or from 3rd Wire's downloads section.
 
*It should be noted, that in fully patched up versions of ALL the sims - especially WoV- all the needed lods are already in place inside the object.cat.*
 
2) You'll need JetZ's really cool "ITLowVis" skin, availabe at his site:
 
http://www.12packproductions.com/JetZ/index.html
 
If you're a Zipper-head, he's got some SUPERB skins there for the 104. I'd also reccomend getting his F-104S, and 104S-ASA, not only to round out the set, but they're nice additions. And the original basis of this work. The lo-vis skin is part of the 104S/S-ASA package, so you might as well get it all, don't ya think????
 
There are further, fully detailed instructions in the read on how to create the full aircraft -- PLEASE read them!!!
 
Credits: all credit goes to JetZ and Crab_02 for creating the S and S-ASA version of the Zipper,
TK for giving us the F-104 in the first place, and WoE (where I got the cockpit parts)
I can only take credit for some ini editing, that gives us this last operational, full interceptor version of the Starfighter.

This is just a littly quicky fix to create a generic Recon Pod for all the different Starfighters out there. It's alwyas bugged me we didn't have anything, and all the Zipper call for one in their loadout inis.
The shape is pretty generic, too. Rather bullet like, as it's based off the BLU-27 napalm canister. Since we don't actually have a proper shape, especially for the Canadian Vikon pod, this will have to suffice until a 3d modeler steps up and creates a real one.
 
I'm pretty sure I've got everybody covered, end user wise. You'll note the fairly complete listing of countries in the Attachemnt types:
 
USAF, ITALY, W_Germany, Norway, Japan, WP - this is for Pakistani and possibly Jordanian Starfighters - if you've created a country specific version for Jordan. I figgured it couldn't hurt to add it, right?
Dutch and Belgian users (of the Zipper, not players!) shouldn't have any problems loading it.
 
I've also included the layered psd file, in case anyone wants to mess with it. I think I got a pretty good 'sampling' of camera ports; 2 vertical, 2 staggered oblique panoramic. I mean, after all, it don't work anyway; its just for show!

Replacement Euro Green 170 gallon F-104G wing-tip drop tanks.
 
This little package is designed to eliminate the 'upside/sideways/backwards/or whatever is wrong with the "Tank_F104G" that we've all been experiencing.
 
Using a repainted bmp, and the stock 3rd Wire 104G tank lods, this should correct the problem of having the fins pointed in the right direction
The only problem that still exists, is that I haven't been able to quite figure out the bmp mapping to have the '2 tone', euro green upper and neutral gray unders. To that end, I've enclosed a PhotoShop psd template, that I created, so someone with a little more skill at that can finish it perfectly.
 
This will update the latest Weapons Pak, circa 6/2006
 
These tanks can be used on BOTH the stock 3rd Wire F-104G, and the one build by Ajundair. Designed for use with German, Italian or Dutch Euro camo schemes.
 
Full, detailed instructions in the enclosed readme -- PLEASE read and follow them, as you'll be using the weapons editor.
 
Safe Flying!
