F-14A VF-41 Black Aces Skin by Dave
 
While on deployment in the Mediterranean Sea on August 19, 1981, during a routine combat air patrol mission over the Gulf of Sidra, two Libyan Su-22 “Fitter” aircraft were shot down by Black Aces aircraft. The incident marked the first Navy air combat confrontation since the Vietnam War and the first ever for the F-14A Tomcat. It was the first time a variable wing geometry aircraft shot down another variable wing geometry aircraft. 1981 was also the first year in which the Black Aces won the COMNAVAIRLANT Battle Efficiency "E", signifying them as the most efficient squadron in the Atlantic Fleet. VF-41 was also awarded the Battle “E” in 1985 and 1989.
 
The 2 Sukhoi killers are in there too.

For my friend Jamie.

East Africa/Madagascar Terrain, Version 2.0 for SF/Wo* and SF2
 
This is a complete rebuild of the terrain originaly released in June 2004. It has been extensively retiled, and has had a MAJOR upgrade in the targetization. It is designed to COMPLETELY replace that original version. It has been fully updated to use in the post-patch and SF2 worlds.
 
This is a COMPLETE package, with everything needed to just unzip, install, and fly over. All the tiles are included, including Stary's "Mad Trees Mod", creating a more 'lush' version. Many new TODs have been created, so you'll see lots of trees and small buildings in and around the cites.
 
Extensive upgrading has been performed on the targets, types, data and movement inis , to make use of 08 and SF2 level terrain effects, and the targeting enhancements. New planning maps of all 3 levels have been generated and included.
 
It is reccomended (read: REQUIRED) that you have Pasko's SAMs and Vehicles Pak installed in your GroundObject folder; either or both the Desert or Euro skinned vehicles, plus any additional vehicles such as Kesselbrut's ZIL truck pak, Infantry paks, Moonjumper's fix for the BM-14-16 (adds working Kytusha rockets) and any other SAMS or AAA, vehicles or whatever strikes your fancy.
 
It has been tested in all 1st Gen Sims (SF/WoV/WoE/ at 10/08 patch levels) and SF2 (merged).. It should work in FE & WoI (also post Expansion Pak and Post Patch) with the correct cat pointer -- this has NOT been tested, however. It should will work in SF2, as long as you adjust the cat pointer lines in the main ini, and 'reroute' the terrain effect pointer (more on that in the install instructions, below). However, with the old style terrain effects, it works just fine.
 
Yes, for those expecting it, there IS at least one Easter Egg on this terrain ...
 
MAKE SURE YOU THOROUGHLY READ THE README ON HOW TO USE IT IN ALL SIMS! or you will be clowned...big time.....

This started out as a project 3 years ago and finally got around to getting it done. This mod has all 70 aircraft with real tail codes of the Liberty Wing. For the fun factor each squadron has all 70 decals assigned so you don't ever run out. The swapped fighters between squadrons so much they could all of been in each one at one time or another. Who knows.
 
This will create a whole new aircraft depicting the F-4D the Liberty Wing flew from late 1971 to 1977. So if you want to use it in a campaign those are the years you will be able to fly it before you have to use the F-111F. This comes with a custom strike loadout.

F-105D-31 Thunderchief introduction & History
***********************************
 
 
Built by Republic Aircraft, the F-105 was designed as a supersonic, single-seat, fighter-bomber able to carry nuclear weapons and heavy bomb loads over great distances at high speeds. It made its first flight on October 12, 1955. The first F-105D (58-1146) flew on 9 June 1959. The TAC at Nellis AFB, Nevada, accepted the first F-105D on September 28, 1960. The initial contract for 59 F-105Ds was increased to nearly 300 by the end of 1961. Ultimately, 610 F-105Ds were built.
 
The F-105D variant was an all-weather fighter-bomber version, fitted with monopulse and Doppler radar for night or bad weather operations. This radar was capable of terrain avoidance commands. The original weapons bay, designed for nuclear stores, was sealed and fitted with additional fuel tanks. Bombs were carried on multiple weapons racks on the centerline of the fuselage, and on wing pylons. The aircraft was fitted with a retractable in-flight refueling probe. During the Vietnam War, F-105 units operated from bases in Thailand.
 
The F-105D was the major production version of the Thunderchief series. It was an all-weather version of the day-only F-105B. Externally, the -D differed from the -B in having a slightly longer and wider nose, which housed the AN/ASG-19 "Thunderstick" system designed to meet new all-weather requirements specified in the November 1957. The AN/ASG-19 was designed around the NASARR R-14A all-purpose monopulse radar. This was optimized in both air-to-ground and air-to-air modes and was capable of performing both low-level and high-altitude missions. The aircraft was equipped with a General Electric FC-5 flight control system that operated in conjunction with the R-14A radar to provide the F-105D with full all-weather capability. The system included a bomb-toss computer, a sight system, an AN/APN-131 Doppler navigator, an air data computer, missile launch computer, autopilot, and search and ranging radar. The radar installation also incorporated a terrain guidance mode permitting the pilot to descend through bad weather in unfamiliar territory and to hug the ground, avoiding detection.
 
A J75-P-19W jet engine equipped with water injection powered the F-105D. A new cockpit was provided with a vertical instrument panel. The higher gross weight of the -D version required the provision of a stronger main landing gear and more robust brakes. In addition, a pitot tube was mounted on the extreme tip of the nose. The aircraft were otherwise quite similar to other F-105s. The F-105D had an arrester hook mounted on the rear of the ventral fin. This hook was intended to engage a wire in case the aircraft overshot the end of the runway during a landing. The Thunderchief was not capable of carrier-based operations.
 
Known Issues
***********************************
 
* Service pack 3 needed for tape gauges
* 23rd skin sharkmouth issue under the nose - cant be fixed, model lost. Possible fix through using decal.

US Navy/USAF Mig Killer Series Mission #1
 
18 May 1972 MiG-19 VF-161 F-4B AIM-9 CVA 41 USN LT Henry A. Bartholomay / LT Oran R. Brown
18 May 1972 MiG-19 VF-161 F-4B AIM-9 CVA 41 USN LT Patrick E. Arwood / LT James M. Bell
 
 
This mission was made by Saganuay82. Can only be used in WOV. I have included Sundowner's VF-161 skin which needs to go into your F-4B folder. Put the 720518 VF161 vs MiG19.msn into your mission folder. Other than that everything else is in there.
 
You fly as LT Henry A. Bartholomay so make sure your nose number is 110.
 
LT Patrick E. Arwood nose number was 105.
 
Beware of the SAM's, hell the missions isnt easy at all.
 
You wil be flying MIGCAP for A-7's/ A-6's and other F-4's.
 
If you like this mission we will do more.

F-100A "Rehab"
 
This is an F-100A brought to D standards. i.e. AN/APR-26(v)/AN/APS-54 tail-warning radar rearward radar warning antenna.(You will have a audible only RWR in the pit) GAR-8/AIM-9B capability. However it still lacked flaps and the refuel probe of the D model.
 
Skins JSF Aggie based on Boscoe's old work from 4 years ago. Original high res temps by Sundonwer. Thanks for the assist Brian. Had more Hun's to skin than I could keep up with. Thanks to Ant for the excellent temps. Thanks to Sag and MJ for the know how to remove the probe, fix the flaps and the RWR. I did a lot of updating the ini to A standards. And finally you cant have a Hun without Galanti's pit. Drop into you aircraft folder and go fly.
 
She flies like a wet noddle. But hey, its an A model.
 
Skins are 2048x2048, not for wimpy crates.
 
 
Version 1.1
Updated ini's by MJ and starfighter. With wing fences removed, LAU-105 pylons used to hold the Winders. FM tweaks. A much more complete Taiwan F-100A Rehab. Thanks you two for your help.

Final notes
 
This is good for taking out bombers. If you are lucky. Dogfighting fighters in it though, forget it. You will be able to see what the pilots of this aircraft had to go through in case of a war. It was not a ground attack aircraft, it was used for intercepts, high speed recon (if ever) and CAP's over the US and Canada. Good luck, you will need it.
