Can I or anyone else assist in getting them up? A Red Flag campaign with the Aggressor F-16s already out there would be nice possibility.

I seem to remember wppsgt was working on some of these before he left for pastures new. Did they ever get finished?

List updated for X Ray's IAI-27 Killer mod of the Su-27.

I'll second that. I don't like posting in the file announcement threads unless it's a problem with a mod, so this is a great opportunity to thank scrapper and you too Baltika for bringing some great WW2 action to SF. Maybe TK will take note and bring out a WW2 version at some point so that these campaigns and all the planes, skins, tanks etc have a natural home?

Er, did you check out my ongoing thread? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=19806 I do need to update it for the IAI 27 fictional Israeli Flanker

They are at Major Lee's site: http://www.majorleesaerodrome.net/

That's not going to make a difference. If the aircraft has a set loadout in it's loadout.ini then that is what it will use in a mission if the ai is flying it. You can only change your's and your flight's weapons from inside the game. If you want the ai flights (whether they are friendly or enemy) to carry dumb bombs on strike missions so that they actually drop something then you will need to mod the loadout.ini of the individual planes. If you're then flying those planes at a later date and want something more exotic to blast the bad guys with, you can always do that from the hangar screen. Hope that helps.

Never did get the Wingman books, I don't remember seeing them in the UK, but after 20 years I'm currently re-reading Thunder Alley, also by Mack Maloney, and intend to follow it with a re-read of it's sequel War Heaven. I'd call them a mixture of Top Gun/Iron Eagle/Rambo/X Files with plenty of dogfight action - just right for a Strike Fighters fan! The hero is called Ryder Long - does anyone know if he featured in any of Maloney's other books? BTW, the first chapter of War Heaven is set on a movie lot where they're making a movie about a mysterious pilot flying an F-16XL over a post apocalyptic landscape against loads of Russian planes, helos etc. How cool is that!

Hasegawa made a set of Japanese weapons for their model kit ranges in both 1/72 and 1/48 http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/e-w/ITEMLIST/wep.htm

Thanks for the reply and the permission fng. Here's what I did : 1 Copy contents of EAWEuro folder into each season folder (DO NOT overwrite) 2 Rename season folder to EAWEuroAutumn, EAWEuroSummer etc 3 Rename .ini, .HFD and .tfd files from EAWEuro to (for example) EAWEuroAutumn.ini, EAWEuroAutumn.HFD, EAWEuroAutumn.td 4 Add this line to the EAWEuroAutumn.ini CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat 5 Delete EAWEuro cat file from the folder 6 Delete setup batch files from the folder 7 Move EAWEuroAutumn etc into Terrain folder I don't know anything about setting up batch files, so I'll zip up the folders and upload. Then the end users just have to extract to their Terrain folder and go fly. This is what Kevin posted over at SimHQ back in February I "think" it's a missing line on the texture list/type/whatever.. it's in the terrain's data ini look for this line: SolidObjectTexture=TEROBJECT_BUILDINGS_euro.BMP try adding it to those that look like it's missing (probably some of the coast/river tiles. The items will look something like this: [Texture006] Filename=BNCoast2_180.BMP HasWater=0 HeightMap=BNCoast2_180_hm.BMP HeightMapScale=50.000000 Color=0.314850,0.335803,0.226161 SolidObjectTexture= AlphaObjectTexture= Try that and see if it works; I fixed some missing pier/bridge textures in Korea that way. I'll have a bash at this over the weekend I hope.

Got it sorted last night. Thanks for the assist fng. There was a bit more to it than you thought. I'll post full details when I get home. I want to check some things re. compatabitlity with the other 3rd Wire games and sort out the issue with the white T's in the rivers (jetties?) - there's a post over at SimHQ that details how to correct it. After that, would it be OK to upload the terrains here either as a pack or separately as whatever version it's now up to (1.8?)? All the original readme's can be included (maybe in a folder within the individual season folders) and full credit will be given to those that have gone before.

I'm using this terrain in my SFGWWIII install, but instead of the desktop shortcuts that come with it I'd like to be able to switch between the different seasonal terrains from the single mission screen like with any other terrain. What do I need to do in the terrain folder to get this to work? Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks

This might help: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...mp;hl=one+pilot CL - As far as I know the Shiloh was fictional, and I don't think it ever mentions the squadron. Ditto with The Intruders, I don't recall it mentioning the carrier or squadron that Jake flew with the Marines. I know that Stephen Coonts once wrote that he tries not to use real world stuff too much as he got his fingers burned with one of his books when he had an attempted assasination on President Bush Sr and had Dan Quayle step in to take over (Under Seige)

Looks great, as do the other WIPs on the Marcfighters site: http://marcfighters.combatace.com/Projects.htm

List updated for Mannie's name for the F-16XL and also for the Mirage Factory WIP F-16s and RF-4E

Boris, I'm sending you the F-15C again, it includes those skins. - the email you've got here is different from te one you pm'd to me. Lrt me know if you get it.

Isn't Timor part of one of the WW2 Pacific terrains that Edward did? At Avsim IIRC. Also, Gramps website mentions a RAAF Timor campaign, but I don't know anything other than what he's got up there.

That would be great. gbreuder did the skin, based on pappychecksix's original VA196 skin. Don't suppose you fancy doing a Morg McPherson pilot do you?

And in the book it was the fictional USS Shiloh! Stephen Coonts flew from the Enterprise, so it's as much a tribute to him as theplane in the book/movie. If someone wants to mod the skin with the Independence name by all means go ahead and I can add it as an extra skin in any update.

Boris, it's the skins you've got in the F-15C I already sent you.

View File A-6A Intruder - 'Flight of the Intruder' Special Edition A-6A Intruder, 'Flight of the Intruder' Special Edition Readme This is a modification of the A-6A Intruder by Monty CZ/Column5, released to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the publication of the novel 'Flight of the Intruder' by Stephen Coonts. Ensure you have the weapons pack installed. Instalation: 1) Extract A-6A FOTI file into Objects/Aircraft 2) Optional: Extract Menu file to your main SF/WOV/WOE folder 2) Go fly and blow things up! Contributors: External model of plane by Monty CZ Flight model by Column5, modded by gbreuder and allenjb42 Damage model by Monty CZ/Column5 Loadouts modded by allenjb42 to try to reflect the loadouts mentioned in the book for the various missions depicted. Skins for Devil 505 and VA196 by gbreuder, based on work by pappychecksix Hangar screen by Wrench, modded by allenjb42 Loading screen - 'Going In Hot' by William S Phillips, depicting 'Flight of the Intruder' author Stephen Coonts in action over Vietnam. Menu music - samples from the 'Flight of the Intruder' movie soundtrack by Basil Poledouris Thanks to all of those listed above - they did all the hard work and gave their permissions for release, I just packaged it all together - to Stephen Coonts and of course to TK for creating these great games for us to tinker with. The Devil 505 skin represents the A-6A flown by Jake Grafton and Morgan McPherson in the book and movie 'Flight of the Intruder' by Stephen Coonts, who really did fly with VA196 over Vietnam. Although Morg gets killed in the first chapter of the book (and after about five minutes of the movie), he and Jake had flown together for two years prior to that point, so you can use the skin to recreate some of their adventures before Morg's untimely death. Besides, you can use the A-6B to fly with Tiger Cole! Unfortunately there is no publicly available Morgan Mcpherson pilot model at this time, so if someone would be kind enough to make and release one I would be only too pleased to include it in an update. In view of this, the data.ini is set up to use the Jake Grafton pilot available at Wrench's site at http://wrench1smog.com as the pilot, and the default PILOT as the B/N. This plane is compatible with all of the A-6 skins currently available. You'll just need to go into the decal.ini file within the skin folder and edit it so that all references to the original A-6 model the skin was made for are changed to A-6A FOTI. Check out the skin folders within this download for an example. Have fun, and good hunting!

Wrench has a Red Air pilot here: http://p7.hostingprod.com/@wrench1smog.com/wrench2.html Scroll about 3/4 down the page and you'll see him sitting in what looks like a MiG 21 cockpit. There's also a Russian pilot on the same page just underneath.
