Don't know why, but I picture that scene from "Rocky Horror Show" ... with the 'just one more from the vault'... Anyway, somebody asked on another thread somewhere, what else have I got hiding..so I went looking... for those of us with a SWOTL type install, for WW2 if it proceeded into 1947; provided Republic could gear up fast enough. Supposed to 'represent' the P-84A Thunderjets, if/as used by the 61st FS, 56th FG Still need a few decal touches, etc. (not correct, as A models didn't get tip tanks -- but, figure a fast factory fix for those thirsty jets) And this one, based off that one, but more in a historical vein: A bit more realistic; F-84B/Cs as seen approx 1948; 59th FS (Jet Propelled) as seen at Otis. Need to finish off the decals for the buzz and serial numbers. Had major problems with the drop tanks, finally said f***-it! and used the Sabre tanks. Albeit not quite right, but they look approximately the right size (even though they and tip tanks should NOT have fins - no biggie) A couple of years ago, I asked Russo to remove the canopy frame from the E model, worked on it, and never finished it. Speaking of the canopy, I was even able to assign it to the 'arrestor_hook', so you can open it manually. If there's enough (or ANY) interest, they'll be released a 2 seperate aircraft; for SWOTL/WW2:46, and the more general B/D for The Real World . Both use The Great and Powerful Zur's Sabre cockpit, with some gunsight mods by me (K-14, with 2 sights: A-A and A-G So, what say you? Oh, and Russo, Ok for release??? Wrench kevin stein

Saaaaaawwweeettt!!! I'm glad somebody did this! Good job! Wrench kevin stein

Don't forget Thunder & Lightnings...lots of great RAF stuff over there Wrench kevin stein

Well, it should extract directly into the terrain foldeer, so just leave it there. Before AND after editing To edit, any old text editor will do; notepad, wordpad, etc. Dosen't the post say something about 'use your text editor of choice'??? If not, I'll go back and fix it! Wrench kevin stein ps: good catches!!!

View File F-4E Phantom II, Hellenic Air Force F-4E Phantom II, Hellenic Air Force Mod A Stand-Alone aircraft for SF/WoV/WoE/WoI This package will create a complete, 'nation specific' aircraft; the F-4E Phantom II as used by the Hellenic Air Force. This is a stock, standard or garden variety Rhino, and NOT the AUP version currently flying with the HAF (see Notes below for my begging!) This is a completion of a pack started by Sundowner, and he supplied me with the Hi-Rez Agean Blue skin, and a bunch of inis, along with the Agean Blue camo 370 gallon drop tanks -- you WILL be adding these, so get your Weapons Editor warmed up!! The other skin, also by Sundowner, is the USAF SEA 3-tone; this is the paint scheme used as first delivered. It is set as the 2nd skin in the list, even though historically it should be first. -- NOTE: these are HI-REZ skins; 2048x2048. For those with older, slower machines or those with smaller vid cards, you might want to resize the skin bmps down one step to 1024x1024. You =WILL= loose some detail, but it's a trade off you sometimes must make. -- All I've basically done, is some ini tweeks for loadouts and some extreamly small changes. I also remade the serial number decals, as I couldn't exactly match Ant's font, extending the numbers out to a total of 24. They ARE correct serials as issued to these Phantoms, but I cannot claim 100% historical accuracy as to which squadron had which number set. Also, out of sheer laziness, both skin sets use the same decals - why waste good decals? That's my motto!!! :) A new Hangar screen is included, based of Ant's original; this one's for SF/WoV/WoE. There's also a WoI style one, called "woi_F4E_HAF_Hangar.bmp". So, you can choose, depending on your game, which to use. It is set up to use either of the weapons paks; the Bunyap Pak or Mirage Factory, or even NONE at all!!! As it is a complete aircraft, it should also be usable in WoI, I've tested it in ALL iterations of the game, it works just fine. In fact, I like the newer 'jetengine' sound in WoI better than the SF/WoV/WoE version!! I'd like to thank Sundowner for trusting me to complete and release this package. Ant gets 98.6% of the credit; the remainder is mine! After all, he DID all the hard work with the skin; and I gotta tell ya, the detailing on it is superb; as we've come to expect. PLEASE read the enclosed readme for more, detailed instructions. Of course, there's the usual noise in the Notes section.

Well, it IS just getting started in the 'pimping out' process; that's just the window tint. Wait until you see the other tweeks; spinner rims, lights in the wheelwell, purple velour diamnond tuck and roll upholstory, Goodyear all season radials; 96 inchers!! 36'' plasma, FULL surround sound, wet bar, hot tub in the waist section.. The bomb bay opens up and lowers a mirrored, lighted dance floor, with multi-colored strobes...oh, yeah, we're just getting started!!! and to top it off, a complete CH HOTAS system (with rudder pedals!!!) Wrench kevin stein

Add it (the stripe) to the rudder mesh, too, using the same coordinates as the fin, or maybe moved back a hair. Just make sure it's set to Level=0, then anything else will be on top of it. Did this for the P-82 SWOTL mod; had the rudder red, with the serial number above it. Don't forget to paint the airbrake to match the rest of the fueselage! You know, it actually looks GOOD in USAF colors!! Wrench kevin stein

Don't forget, too, the enhanced AI section that can be added to each aircraft's data ini; I've added it to several (most of the WW2 birds already come with it)...and it works for jets too I haven't noticed a GREAT change in behavior, but something is different. And it don't seem to matter if it's prop or jet - bomber, attack, fighter, etc. As to the patch, I'm betting we won't see until the sometime in the last quater of the year. Wrench kevin stein

The Black Widow should be listed as a WIP...I seem to recall someone (Pasko???) showing some early shot about 3+ years ago Having the 'Big-Assed Beast' would be a great addition to the PTO installs, but to my knowledge, no one's working on it. There is a Tigercat in the works, if that's of any interest. Wrench kevin stein

View File MiG-25PD Foxbat-E, Libyan AF MiG-25PD Foxbat-E LARAF Mod A Stand-Alone aircraft for SF/WoV/WoE/WoI This package will create a complete 'nation specific' aircraft; the MiG-25PD as used by the Libyan Air Force. To make installation as simple as possible, EVERYTHING is included; the complete aircraft, cockpit folder (based off Paladrin's work, as included in the original Foxbat Pack), all the inis, skin, etc. New serial number decals have been created, using the best intell possible; some are speculative, but based from known sources. Included in the data ini are my lighting fixes, as seen on the CA Message Boards. It is set up to use either of the weapons paks; the Bunyap Pak or Mirage Factory. If using the BunyPak, no additional work is required; unzip and fly away! For those using the TMF Pak, I've included an alternate Loadout.ini, that using the same NATO style naming conventions for the Soviet/WarPac weapons (See Install Instruction below). The data ini is already set for "WP,SOVIET", so you should encounter NO problems in that respect. As it is a complete aircraft, it also be usable in WoI, I've tested it in ALL iterations of the game, it works just fine. (See NOTES below for more) For WoI users: If you haven't added the R-40 missiles, as per the WoI Loadouts Thread at CombatAce, you WILL be adding these, so get your Weapons Editor warmed up!! Remember -- use the WoI ONLY WepEditor!!! Included are new Hangar and Loading screens; 2 Hangars actually, one is SF/WoV/WoE setup, and one for WoI. PLEASE!!! read the enclosed readme for full, detailed install instructions, and the usual Notes and Commentaries. Happy Hunting!!

View File Hawk 75A, Vichy French Curtis-Wright Hawk 75A, Vichy French Armee De L'Air Package for SF/WoV/WoE WW2 MTO Installs: This is a complete package including ALL parts necessary to unzip and install a new, export version of Wolf's P-36 Mohawk, as used by the Vichy French Air Force, after the Fall of France. A single skin with generic markings is included. Tail and Number decals are by Heck Mitchell, and borrowed from the AdA version. It 'represents' GCII/5, but should not be considered 100% historically accurate. The "Indian Head" squadon insignia decal is by me. A new Vichy Hawk 75 hangar screen is included, as are damage tgas. There is a new French 7.5mm machine gun, courtesy of Heck, and a 50kg bomb by me, so you'll be using BOTH the gun and weapons editor to add them. (note: both these weapons were included in the AdA Douglas DB-7 previously released). It is NOT reccomended for use in a WW2 install based on WoI ---- Please note you MUST have the latest Weapons Pack (Bunyap Pak) for the WW2 weapons ---- Finally got around to finishing it... PLEASE read the readme for detailed install instructions, and the General Notes and Noise Happy Landings! Wrench Kevin Stein Submitter Wrench Submitted 05/27/2008 Category Axis Fighters

Moved this to the proper Forum... Remember folks: Answers in the Knowledge Base (hopefully!!!) Questions in the main Forums Thank you!!! To business... There are a couple of mod for the AI that tweek them out; I can't remember exactly where they are, but look in the downloads section, or try the Search button for "Uber AI". Try that one, and see if it 'wakes them up' so to speak! Wrench kevin stein

NO!!! We ain't gonna wait that long; be something like December for the patches?? We're shooting for mid-summer. BTW, this is NOT to be construed as an official announcement, in any way, shape or form. I didn't say a thing...nothing to see here...these are not the mods you're looking for...move along...

I seem to remember Gepard's original release HAVING carrier stations already set in the targets ini... At any rate, the Israel2 Upgrade I recently released, has them as well. As does the WoI Targets Upgrade. Here in the 'Terrains' downloads section... Wrench kevin stein

Approved, and up for grabs!! Go get it, folks! Nice job, too, Kuk!! Wrench kevin stein

The modes are changable, there's just no B-sweep of radar. It IS working in all modes for me, there's just no 'vertical line' (B-Sweep) going back and fort, or fixed for borsight. There IS however, a inverted T that's designated the locked-on target Wrench kevin stein

The Turkey's loadouts are EXACTLY as they should be. It's a Mirage Factory product...they know exactly what they're doing. Don't mess with perfection. Wrench kevin stein

That readme alone is worth the download!! "The Student has now become the Master" -- well done!!! You've just raised the bar on readmes :i-m_so_happy: Great looking bird, and the cockpit is superb!!! Great job Bobrock!! Congrats!!! Wrench kevin stein

Flagpoles are nothing...take less than 5 minutes to make!! Which one do you need?? I can whip it out in no time, unless it's one i've got already. If it's a US flag, with 50 stars, there's one in the Libya Upgrade; anything else, just ask!! The other buildings are, unfortunately, in DBS.
