Polish Viggen
Well, here's a Polish Viggen skin. It's meant to be in my Third Faction Campaign.
Same drill as always: if you're going to upload it to other homepages, mention it's made by me, and if you add it to some campaign, tell me.

USAF/ Jolly Rogers Draken
Another insane Saab skin from me
Yet again it's a fictive skin. It's a Saab J35 painted to resemble Jolly Roger's aircraft.
A possible story that could lead up to an aircraft like this would be if the cold war wouldn't end, Sweden didn't make the cuts made in the late 80's, and then went on into the 90's, meaning that Sweden could afford to make an Agressor program. And to maintain neutrality, the aircraft would be both painted in Russian and American schemes.
Or another could quite simply be that the US during the cold war would have a policy of getting the most efficient aircraft, rather than whatever the US industries come up with. Which would result in purchasing a few Drakens for evaluation. Why it would end up on an aircraft carrier based unit needn't be explained.
I want to mention that this skin is based on whiteknight06604's bare metal Draken skin. Also, this is a first version. I'll see if I'll improve it later, anyone willing is free to improve it himself, but mention me and whiteknight.

I think the ultimate jet would have Double Delta wings, for high ammounts of internal fuel, stealthy appearance and many hardpoints.
Maybe foldable canards, like on the canceled J35 MOD project.
-
Thank you.
And how do you select which skin the plane's supposed to use? I'm wondering because I want scenarios where for example Gray Viggens escort Camo painted Viggens and so on.
-
-
I've come some bit on the way in the creation of my campaign, but what I haven't figgured out yet is how the heck I set the aircraft types.
I want the Swedes to select whether they want to fly the Draken or Viggen, the Polacks to fly MiG 21's and MiG 23's and the finns to fly MiG 21's and Drakens.

M/90 Gripen v1.0
Well, here's my first upload on this page. As a matter of fact, it's my ONLY self-made mod to any game.
As you all remember, Swedish aircraft traditionally are at least to a small extent painted in some kind of camouflage paint. The first exception is Gripen. So I decided to create this skin. Firstly because I wanted to see what it looks like, and secondarilly because I want this in my forthcoming campaign. Naturally, the decision fell on the modern M/90 camo pattern used on tanks, trucks and uniform within the Swedish army.
All you have to do is to unzip the directory and drop it into your Gripen folder.
This skin was created by me, if you upload it onto other pages, remember to mention that it was made by me, and that I'm here on combatace. Also, please don't add it onto any campaigns without asking me first.

After lots of work, I've managed to get water on my map :fans:
However, I've got a few issues. First of all, the following screens are above what's supposed to be Halmstad. WHERE IS IT!?! Same problem with every city...
Also you can see the square, untransitioned textures with the same bit of road... repeating again and again. I've put forrest as priority 1, and lowered the minimum level to 5 meters, and yet there's surprisingly little forrest.
And finally, the weird untransitioned square tiles going into the sea. What's wrong?
-
OK.
Doesent anyone have allready converted files they could upload? Paint can't use TGA's nor alphas for some reason. Also, the city tiles arent included in the texturelist included with the terrain editor.
-
Hi.
I'm working on a campaign, and I'm stuck on one point. The sea tiles are green. What I need is help to convert the .TOD, .TGA and .TFD images. Paint firstly won't open them, and secondly, there are so many that it would take ages. Isn't there some place where you can get them all pre-converted, or maybe there's some useful tool? Also the wrong city names appear, and the cities overall don't seem to exist.
-
I've been looking arround, and this is What I've found when it comes to aircraft:
Sweden:
Finland:
Poland:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...ll=1&id=130
I think this is a sufficient variety of aircraft, but I wouldn't have anything against including the Lansen, SK60, Iskra or other aircraft that were used by Sweden, Finland or Poland.
-
I've taken on a fairly similar project.
You can read all about it below:
Anyone willing to help?
My campaign is about Poland, Sweden and Finland vs the Soviet Union.
-
I have a problem with my map. I can't get the correct names of the cities, the old ones seem to remain. Also, every time I enter the planning map, the game crashes. Anyone know what to do?

Here's a preview of the territory.
Because of the frankly strange way the world map is divided in the sattelite view thingy I got my height map from, I had a choice: either I'd have large parts of the Soviet Union, eastern Poland, all of Finland, but no part of Sweden whatsoever, or I could have southern Sweden, east Germany, Northern Poland, Denmark and a small bit of Soviet territory. I chose the later, which means that the enemy will mostly be attacking from the East. To avoid the enemies ONLY attacking from the West, I've let the Russians invade Gotland. The Finns primary base will be on Åland.
So here's the pre-mission screen I'll use in the campaign.
-
I've progressed quite far on the terrain. I still want to place out more cities and targets, but overall the most work is quite done.
With the campaign I need help with what the units are supposed to be called.
-
I don't want to intrude on your mission, but why Sweden?It would make more sense (to me at least) if it was Finland than Sweden. Anyways, keep working at it. We always need more campaigns.
There are a few reasons for that. First, Sweden was neutral, second, Sweden has kewl aircraft, and third I'm from Sweden. But yeah, I think I could add Finland into the mix. The question is, where can this campaign take place?
I also wonder if anyone's willing to help me, maybe make some terrain or sumtin'?
I wonder if anyone knows of any Polish/Finish unit calisgns?
Also, what planes did Finland have during the 80's?
*Edit*
This is what I found out
Finland:
MIG 21
Saab J35 Draken
-
Aren't there any more clear guides?
-
Here's my first question:
According to the guide that's up on this site, there should be two files in my campaign folder. Campaign2 and CAMPAIGN2_DATA. All I can find is woeCAMP4. What am I supposed to do?
Also, where can you download Tk's Terrain editor?
-
Well, I'm trying to learn the tools right now, but here's my basic idea for the story:
In 1980 Solidarnosc, an anti-communistic movement is formed in Poland. In 1981 the socialist government attempt to destroy the organisation via martial law. The plan backfires as also the military dislikes the socialists. The legendary "hidden war" breaks out as the anti-socialistic military enters Warsaw to overthrow the socialist government. Despite parts of the military and police still being loyally defending the parliament, people unknowingly wake up on december 14 1981, finding themselves in the Solidary Sovreign State of Poland (SSSP). Knowing of the imminent threat from the Soviet Union, the Polish government attempts to find allies. NATO refuses Poland membership due to the risk of starting a new world war.
On december 18th, Sweden agrees on an alliance. As a gesture of good faith, Polish troops are stationed at Gotland and Swedish troops get stationed at the Polish-Soviet border. On new years day the Soviet Union enters Poland, only to enter Sweden two days later.
I've made some investigations to see what aircraft the nations had back in the 80's and here's what I've found:
Polish Aircraft
Mig 21
Mig 23
Mig 29
Su-22
Swedish Aircraft
Lansen
Draken
Viggen
SK60
Soviet Union
An-12
SU 7
SU 15
SU 25
SU 27
Mig 21
Mig 25
Mig 27
Mig 31
Mig 23
Tu 128
Yak 28
I'm going to attempt to make the pack contain as many of these vehicles as possible, but since I'm a nice guy I won't add anything without the creator's permission. Since I'm new, there's quite a big likelyhood that I'll be asking what to do. The campaign will also contain some custom terrain.
-
I've googled arround for friggin' ages and can't find any homepage that has the cat extractor. Can anyone post a link?
-
I use WOE, but not even the F-15 has more than the gunsight.
-
How do you get those HUD's?
All I get is the gunsight.
-
If you're looking at the little screen at the bottom that gives you your speed/throttle/etc. that's indicating your IAS or "Indicated Airspeed," your True Airspeed (TAS) can be seen on one of the aircraft's gauges or on the HUD in some models. This has been discussed at length before, so either check the Knowledge Base or use the Search.One quick question: at what altitude are you flying? At low altitude you'll be lucky to break 1.2M even in a fast plane.
In the planes I've tried, it's as if the plane had hit a wall. I can't break those speeds even if I dive from 20 000 metres at ful throttle.

Well, I've still got the same issues as before.
If you want to help me, phunk, that would kick ass. I want the map to contain the territory on the image. I think that your black sea map is quite good. I love the dense vegetation and buildings.
However, if you have problems with getting the height map, I can send over all my current stuff. It doesent contain all the territory I want, but it's something.
