  1. Thank you MigBuster. I am going to have another look in the TWS mode but since I was a kid (back in the '80s) I was reading about the TWS mode of F-16s and the supposed innovation that brought in aerial warfare. I checked my old salamander book and it takes it for granted that ALL F-16s have TWS mode. I suppose your 're right, F-16 was in fashion (in flight sims & in general) and now it's a bit out of fashion. The problem is, like it or not, is flown by 25 nations and almost every hypotethical or real scenario of aerial warfare the past 30 years (already!) involves F-16s. I looked in the dutch website, the pits are very nice, but are not for SF series and I don't know myself how I can use them.
  2. Please check my post http://combatace.com/files/file/11227-woi-cockpit-for-mf-f-16a-with-corrected-avionics/ I am looking for suggestions. Working on F-16A avionics was easy and I am looking forward to a bigger challenge.

    I did this work hoping to motivate people to present a re-worked F-16C cockpit. This mod enables WOI users to enjoy their MF F-16As with the stock hi-rez TW cockpit. The stock TW F-16A in WOI unfortunately lacks TWS capability (Note: Apparently I was wrong, it was indeed without TWS in the very first batches), while MF F-16As lacked ground map capability due to a mixture of avionics60 lines in an avionics70dll file (Note: As I was informed, it was later corrected). Furthermore, TMF avionics are more representative of Blk1/5/10s, instead TW are a bit stronger, more representative of Blk 15 avionics. I re-worked the avionics.ini to present something as close to reality as I could, based on the stock WOI cockpit. V1.1 Changes: TWS Capability deleted from Blk 10 Avionics TV Capability restored in Blk 15 Avionics If you want to use MF TV filter instead of the TW, change this line from TextureStage[01].TextureName=GreenTVFilter.bmp ;TextureStage[01].TextureName=cockpit\GreenTVFilter.bmp TextureStage[01].MipMap=FALSE to ;TextureStage[01].TextureName=GreenTVFilter.bmp TextureStage[01].TextureName=cockpit\GreenTVFilter.bmp TextureStage[01].MipMap=TRUE NOTE: Not 100% sure when Maverick capability was certified for F-16s. It seems to me that it was a retrofit in a later date for Blk1/5/10 aircraft. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Download, extract and place into respective folders. They will overwrite the previous ones. Remember to keep back ups just in case... 2) Change this line CockpitDataFile= from CockpitDataFile=F-16A_cockpit.ini to CockpitDataFile=F-16A_NETZ_COCKPIT.ini NOTE: Do not, I repeat DO NOT delete the already installed cockpit, since I use many TGAs from the MF cockpit. It won't work properly without it. ADDED BONUS: Modified MF F-16A OCU DATA file with F100-220E engine. I want to thank TW & MF and every person that contributed to the community. If an individual deserves credit, please notify me. REMEMBER THIS IS A FREEWARE!
  4. Any progress? I worked today on some AVIONICS ini and I am fresh if someone would ask me to help...
  5. Please do, I 'll be glad if you do. F-16Cs are the bulk of USAF fighter force for more than 20 years and the backbone of so many allied forces (HAF, EAF, TuAF, IDF, ROKAF etc.). All SFP1/2 community will be glad to you.
  6. Hi, I am really glad that people are talking to about new F-16C cockpit, I think this would a blessing and a new life for the SFP1/2 sims. I tried myself to work on cockpits last year, not in the LODs, but I installed the stock WOI -A cockpit into some MF F-16s and I reworked the old F-14 cockpit. The first one was easy, but the 2nd was so much time consuming that I never tried it again. At least it worked. I learned how to deal with ini files and if I can help in a future F-16 cockpit, plese sent me a message. I have too somewhere in my files the cockpit that romflyer showed to us, and I want to add something else that was not mentioned: This cockpit needs LEGS!

    I tried to make them work in WOE but NOOOO... the LOD does not appear? Why? Any help please?

    Excellent!! The new cockpit is fantastic. And morever, it works perfectly in Generation 1 sims with very few changes.

  10. File Name: EF-4C Wild Weasel IV + Linebacker II campaign with it File Submitter: FANATIC MODDER File Submitted: 06 Dec 2009 File Category: F-4 Phantom II This is my version of EF-4C based on the F-4C_8thTFW_1967 made by Crab_02 and Mike Druzolowski.However some parts from the old EF-4C - like the ER-142 and the avionics .INI- of Column5, Sundowner and Storm are also included. Be sure that you have your F-4C_8thTFW_1967 and their drop tank and decals mods downloaded and installed properly, because some parts like Ejections seats, drop tanks or decals might not be working. I don't know when EF-4Cs had been actually retired, I assume sometime in the early '80s, (I saw photos that definetely are post-1975) so I put 1988 just to be sure.And something else...I haven't been able to develop the launchers the way I wanted to.I would like to ask to others to have a look at it.The way it is, it's a dedicated SEAD aircraft with one specific loadout.But that's the way it was in reality, so I decided that it's worth it.The way it is, you have the chance to fly some "hot" Vietnam '72 missions.I guarantee you that you 're going to enjoy it.There is modification of the stock Linebacker II campaign included if you like to test your chances...Default skin is the S.E.A. 67thTFS, but there is an 81thTFS skin if you like to try your luck in '70s Germany.

  14. I was terribly shocked from the news I just learned, since I don't log in to COMBAT ACE very often lately. BPAO will be missed a lot.I didn't know him in person, but someone that dedicates so much of its time doing FREEWARE projects, should have been a special person.
  15. sorry, a question - what's the differences after 5th Oct. ? I downloaded it, but I am not sure what was changed.

  16. F-4C_8thTFW_1967

    FANATIC MODDER commented on mppd's file in F-4 Phantom II

    I read the Paul Davies book about USAF F-4 aces during 1965-68 and I think that all your new F-4s are awesome,as close to reality as possible. However, there is a small bug with the camo fletcher fuel tanks, which they DON'T come up.The tailcodes don't come up too.Any suggestions?
  17. UPDATE - I JUST DISCOVERED THAT WHILE THE NEW MIG-23 COCKPITS ARE PERFECT ON MY WOI, THEY CRASH MY WOE. I hope that this problem can be solved.
  18. This is great, and I believe much more realistic.Thanks very much. I want to ask about the avionics capabilities of the newer versions (ML, MLD etc.). For now, they are ...worse in the configuration that I installed them from the standard MIRAGE FACTORY avionics downloads.I want to ask if someone is working on them, if not, I can give a hand on that if is necessary.
  19. It seems that someone has to choose if he wants a green or grey skin,isn't it? when I tried to put the grey AGM-130C skin in my weapons folder, I realized that I had to overwrite the AGM-130A skins.I didn't, and then the AGM-130C appeared normally with the green AGM-130A skin.
  20. Who made this FANTASTIC cockpit??

  21. F-84G JRV

    FANATIC MODDER replied to homer's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements

    The Yugoslav F-84Gs were ex-Hellenic Air Force Aircraft that were sold between 1956-'57 as used to Yugoslavia. Yugoslavs used them for another 15 years, finally retiring them in 1972.
  22. File Name: Tornado F.3 AOP File Submitter: FANATIC MODDER File Submitted: 5 Mar 2009 File Updated: 6 Mar 2009 File Category: Tornado This is the latest, modern version of the Tornado F.3 as it is used by RAF today. Don't be so excited, it might be so a complete aeroplane, but the changes are minimal,since RAF tried to update the F.3 as ...less as possible: It is well known the AMRAAM fiasco it was only in 2004 the F.3s finally received a proper AMRAAM capability. My add-on is about these,AMRAAM capable F.3s. INSTALLATION: If you haven't installed Bobrocks's F.3, please follow the instructions faithfully as they are on the file QUICKSTART F.3AOP. If you have already, be sure that you put all the necessary sounds in the sound folder and that you 're going to add all the necessary weapons using the weapon editor. ADDED BONUS: Data for the Sky Flash 6000 series are provided.F.3 AOP can use this missile, however it was carried normally by the standard F.3s since 1988. The credit should really go to: Main 3d modeling and programming: bobrock FM and avionics advisors: Crusader, starfighter2 Sounds: Spillone104 Pilots: Aleks, Canadair, Erikgen, NGHENGO, Silverbolt, Spillone104, triplethr3at Skins: Syrinx EDIT: The changes might be minimal, but still they are highly enjoyable and the AIM-120C-5 suits very well to the Tornado...Don't hesitate to download,you won't regret it.A very fast plane (especially in low alt) with a very powerful radar (comparable with last generation fighters), C-5 extra boosting time and new warhead masks very well Tornado inabilities...you might be surprised.

  23. Tornado F.3 AOP

    FANATIC MODDER replied to FANATIC MODDER's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements

    In reality, retaining a bit more the F3s in service might save money in the long run, since that would prevent heavy Typhoon usage.Now as long as RAF Typhoons are not assigned to NATO QRA (Quick Reaction Alert) duties we can assume that RAF Typhoons are not -for the moment- used too much, therefore saving valuable airframe time in the long run.However, I agree that in the immediate future that might escalate running costs a bit, and that won't suit too well to the gov.

  24. Tornado F.3 AOP

    FANATIC MODDER replied to FANATIC MODDER's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements

    According to Air Forces Monthly (Oct/08, p.61), F3s are to be retired in 2015. However I decided to postpone a bit the retirement day, having in mind that in the post cold war reality is not that unusual to postpone retirement dates.If UK Typhoons are going to be involved in overseas military operations in the next few years, don't be surprised if F3s are going to serve a bit longer in the role of homeland defense. Welcome, all the credit should go to the Tornado Team.
  25. File Name: AIM-120C-5 File Submitter: FANATIC MODDER File Submitted: 5 Mar 2009 File Category: SF/WO*/FE Weapons Mods/Skins I was not aware of an AIM-120C-5 being available, so I made one. Be sure that you have the latest weapon pack since there is no LOD included. INSTALLATION: Use your weapon editor to add to the WEAPONDATA.INI and enjoy. REMEMBER:THIS IS A FREEWARE!
