Now, as to loadouts for specific aircraft, do you all want them posted here, or in the KB Loadout Fixes thread?? I know somebody (Johan?) was asking about the MD-450. I have loadouts using both/either paks... I can always start a new Thread or sub-thread specific to WOI in the KB...for historical aircraft only - non of the fantasy, What Ifs (including many of my own...) and other BS birds. Speaking of which, wouldn't the Sabre cockpit be a little better for the Ouragan, than the Scooters??? Wrench kevin stein

This discussion forum/thread/whatever is designed for those with an interest in exploring the potential of WoI in all eras that it should be operational in. Just to name a few, things like "War of Independece", 1956 Suez Crisis, 'Water Wars', and other stuff not covered by the stock game. We'll be discussing, obviously, the aircraft of the varying nations; many of which already exist reaching back to the end of the 2nd World War, ground vehicles, tanks, trucks, personell carriers, anti-aircraft units. With regards to the aircraft, in particular the loadouts and operations years, any and all verifiable information anybody knows will be happily accepted; obviously we'll be limited to what's available in the 2 weapons paks. Those of you not familiar with the weapons paks might want to spend a little time exploring them. There is a (gotta go biblical with this!) a vast host of weapons for the nations involved to use. I'm talking about the 'nationalized' types as seen in Buny's Pak. These can be easily added to TMF, using the new weapons editor. I should know...I've already done it. With one exception, ALL the aircraft from 1948 - 1966ish are fully functional in my "Historic" install. so, lets get to going here... Wrench kevin stein

Conside it done...I"ll start a new sticky above JUST for WoI Historic Mods Wrench kevin stein

Just a quick note.... johan: which weapons pak are you wanting to be using? TMF will need importation of the nationalized (EAF, etc) weapons. the bunypak has all the stuff already. All the aircraft listed (excepting the Thuderstreak) are all updated and either listed in the KB loadouts thread, or like my EAF/IDF props/early jets in their respective aircraft. Wrench kevin stein

targets ini, city ini, hfd, tfd. DO NOT OVERWRITE THE HFD AND TFD -- DELETE THE OLD ONES. I've had problem with the overwite NOT working I know it's a bitch, but just dl the whole package...thats what I uploaded, the whole cursed thing! Wrench kevin stein

I found it...a flattening issue. Now fixed. Updated version uploaded Strange, it never did that for me during testing. Wrench kevinstein

That is SOOOOOO cool!!! Wrench kevin stein

Well, there's always my half-assed Phantom version.... as a temporary stand in Wrench kevin stein

Johan: it's a bunch of the stock vehicles data inis I dropped into the Pakso Pak some time back. Obviously, some of the positions aren't quite right (for the tanks = T54/55 are a little too high, but they fire!) BTR-50, BTR-152, etc Looking thruogh the vehicles d/ls seciton, I DO notice I never uploaded the Desert Skins for the Pasko Pak...odd, they're on my site. I guess I'll take care of that today. As to aircraft, my IDF mustang is all set, just need to import the weapons WoI Hunters is super easy...make their attachment type = "WP", and use UV32 and FAB250. TMF Thunderstreaks are already set to use their pak, so need no editing. Their AN Corsairs should be set up for it; it's their plane! - be advised...props are running weeeeiirrdd! All the Meteors (EAF & IDF) are set up - their either here at CA or my site (again, just need weapons importations) Looks like I'll be starting a new "Weapons and Loadout Fixes for WoI Historical Installs" thread in the KB.... BTW, the BunyPak CAN be used, but it require a few minutes of editing with the new weapons editor...my "Non Historic" install uses that one, and all seem fine (excepting the Arab loadouts ... had to use "Soviet" for all of them - very odd) Wrench Kevin Stein

I was 31 once..... Happy Birthday Bad Frank!!! Wrench kevin stein

AT the very end of the runway??? Yeah, it does that. So does Fubar's repaint as well. Chalk it up to cheeeep contract laborers Neither one of us could figure out why ... texture problem only Wrench kevin stein

You'll have to find Roger; Roger The Shrubber. Ni!!!!!!!!! Wrench kevin stein

Don't forget her in the Buffy TV series.... WRench kevin stein

I guess mine might have been the only good one... Went to the doctor, and I DON'T have throat cancer; and I'm quiting smoking!!! I start the classes Thursday, although I've been cutting back radically since the weekend Wrench kevin stein

WoI Hangar & Loadins Screens Pak 1 View File WoI Hangar and Loading Screen Set 1 The enclosed screens are redesigns of many of my original 'Mid East Wars' set, now using the new format for Wings Over Isreal. (the set up got changed ... again!!) They replace the other, earlier versions built for SF/WoV/WoE. In many instances, the same names are used, so don't feel obligated to safe the old ones, unless you're using them in any of the other games. You'll get Hangar Screens for the following aircraft: EAF Meteor 4 EAF Spitfire 5 EAF/UAR Spitfire 22 IDF Ahit IDF Baz IDF Beaufighter IDF Brakeet (F-16D for those that don't know) IDF Harvard IDF Kfir (for all variants) IDF Meteor F8 IDF Mirage 3 CJ IDF Netz (F-16A) IDF Ouragan IDF Phantom (need I say?) IDF Spitfire 9 You'll get Loading Screens for these aircraft: Brakeet IDF Meteor F8 Kfir Mirage 3CJ Ouragan Vautour Easy to follow instructions in the enclosed readme ... sorry there's no picture, but most of you already know what they look like Enjoy!

A guick look with the handy-dandy does it all hex editor reveals.... sams.bmp btw: there seems to be a problem with my EAF Mc-205 Veltro. As in it explodes on the runway. Can't figure out why. I'll have to shoot Capun and email about it. Also, the decal path is wrong for my S-199 IDF stand in 109G In the decals ini, Change "S-199_IDF" to S199_IDF little typo there... Be VERY carefull flying it...the prop flight models are really wacked out ... damn thing departed on me last night; first time ever!!! It was wild!!! Spits and Mustang seem ok, but they all handle reaaaallly different!! Wrench kevin stein

"We can melt, we can blast, we can raise above!!! Bring us down, push the button, Max" BOOM!!!! MAAAAAAXXXXX!!!! one of our favorite movies. Wrench kevin stein

There's decal bleed on the Spit and Hurris...there's a couple of 'open' meshes on all of them. Just something we have to live with. (hurri should be on starboard side, approximated the engine cowl panel?? Spit is similiar, IIRC) Wrench kevin stein

That's the "RPG" - random plane generator. If the aircraft exists in the aircraft folder, they'll pop in from time to time, just to be annoying . Just randomly genearted encounters. Wrench kevin stein

AND.... you'll be able to have a ground mapping radar with the new avionics70.dll. I used to love flying the EF2K in Fighters Anthology...this one'll be so much better Wrench kevin stein

I've had no problems with mine .... the EAF Metors I released some time back, were already set to "WP" Note: you'll need to disable the automatic speed control for the canopies on ALL the Metors ...otherwise they'll be flying with them open all the time. apparently, that no longer works. I've tried figuring out the animation keys for, but after an hour, said 'hell with this...' and just disabled them I'll post the needed weapons, if anyone wants. It should be noted, I'm using the TMF pak in my "historic" WoI install ... no What if or Fantasy aircraft at all (Karish, Kardom, etc) - have 3 installs already (one, clean; 2nd Historic only, 3 historic and WhatIfs). Theatre and era specific aircarft/vehicles ONLY. The mustang rockt rack should be modified to carry the 60#s, too. I just found a picture in one of my books of them being rearmed during Moked with them, as opposed to HVARs (which is alrady in the TMF pak). The UK 60# are needed for the Oraguan, as well as the Mossie and Beau. On the ground object side, I've had no problems bringing in the T-34, Su-100, SA-3s, M-3 halftrack, Easy8 Sherman (M50) by Geo, M-42, 90mm US AAA, and a host of others. Including the 'adding MGs to tanks' mod of mine. The TMF pack is much better, I belive -especially with the additons-. Oh, the gun editor still works with the newer formats it WoI; haven't had any glitches with that yet. If you guys want specifics, I can create a new posts in the KBs loadout thread for Historic WoI. Or even release a small pak, as I've got all the lods and bmps IDed. Wrench kevin stein

Lloyd: already in game with the semi-approiate weapons (hint: use WP, and FAB100 or...start importing via the new editor. NOTE: DON"T do a merge import...do it the old fashioned way, each single weapon) Your 60lb rockets already exist in the bunny pak == look for EYG 60lb. You'll still need the slipper tanks. All my earlier WoE Mid-East Wars stuff in already updated for WoI (loadout wise). Another quick pointer: all the Arab Hunters loads are porked....switch them to "WP", and use Soviet weapons; FAB250, UV32. Fuel tanks work ok edit: the vampire tanks use the tank_400_mig17.bmp Wrench kevin stein
