This mod respresents an early model recon Blinder. While similar to the Tu-22K Blinder-B, the Tu-22R had six long focal length cameras in the former bomb bay. In addition to the wing mounted Chaff/Flare decoy dispensers, the Tu-22R had an early model Fasol SPS-5 Noise Jammer SP3 Compliant -

====================== PAF F-7MP Airbolt v1.9 ====================== A. Installation : 1. Drop the 'F-7MP Airbolt' folder into your Strike Fighters/Objects/Aircraft, or your Wings Over Vietnam/Objects/Aircraft folder. 2. Open the 'Add To Sounds' folder and copy the four .wav files to either your Strike Fighters/Sounds, or your Wings Over Vietnam/Sounds folder. 3. Your copy of Strike Fighters should be patched to SP3.1 standard. Your copy of Wings Over Vietnam should be patched to Patch 2 standard. 4. You should also have the latest Weapons Pack ( w/Updates ) installed. Weapons Packs are availible at http://www.combatace.com/ B. Notes : 1. The Pakistanis began upgrading their F-7P fighters to the F-7MP standard in 1996. It was felt that the Type 226 Sky Ranger radar/ECCM used by the F-7P was inadaquate given the increasing sophistication of the Indian Air Force in the 1990s. Principle upgrades were the ability to carry four IRMs and the re- placing of the Sky Ranger with the Italian Grifo-7 multi-mode radar. ECM was also improved, at the very least to J-7D standards. Other parts of the upgrade includes GPS, which are not currently modelled in SFP1/wov. The F-7MP itself is now slowing being replaced by the F-7PG ( based on the far deadlier J-7G "Flanker Slayer" of the PLAAF ). C. Issues : 1. The F-7MP uses the stock SFP1/WOV MiG-21F model. As such, the canopy has not been animated as the MiG canopy hinges forward while the Chengdu canopy slides to the rear. The MiG-21F model also has only two wing pylons while the F-7MP has four. The outer wing ordinance stations are adjusted to ride snug to the wing underside for this reason. F-7MPs also have the BAE (GEC/Marconi Type 926 HUDWAC), no F-7 cockpit currently exists in game, so a stock A-4F pit is used. 2. You will notice that the fins of any IRM selected on the outer pylons will extend above the wing top. This was done so that other ordinance ( Bombs, Rocket Pods, Fuel Tanks, etc... ) did not appear to be "floating" below the wing when viewed using F6. Hopefully this will be corrected in the future, either by a dedicated set of outer wing pylons modded specifically for this purpose or by a whole new model. D. Credits : 1. All glory goes to Gramps for first modding the MiG-21F into it's Chinese cousins. Gramps has graciously allowed me to carry the ball forward. The Hangarscreen is by Gramps. As is the PAF 2nd Sqdn Grey Camo skin. 2. Ghostrider883, geg etendard, and madcaddie for Research into the Warbirds of the Sub-Continant. 3. Fubar512 for his excellent MiG RWR sounds and his revised MiG FMs. 4. "Geg Gunsight" by geg etendard. 5. Any mistakes are solely mine. Enjoy! Bob 'howling1' Hauser -

The Pakistanis purchased the Chengdu F-7M beginning in 1988 in order to replace their aging F-86F-35 & F-6 fighters. Designated F-7P in PAF service, this fighter is capable of carrying two PL-5, AIM-9P, AIM-9L, or Matra R-552 Magic II IRM missiles. It uses a modified version of the BAE Type 226 Sky Ranger Radar and a limited Sky Ranger ECCM suite ( Flares & a noise jammer ). Pakistani F-7Ps also have Martin-Baker ejection seats, and Western radio equipment. This fighter has a limited ground attack capability. PAF practice is to assign junior pilots to F-7P units while reserving the Mirage & F-16 units for their more experienced & promising pilots. PAF F-7Ps are currently being upgraded to F-7MP standard to extend their useful service life. C. Issues : 1. The F-7P uses the stock SFP1/WOV MiG-21F model.

F-7Ps also have the BAE (GEC/Marconi Type 926 HUDWAC), no F-7 cockpit currently exists, so a stock A-4 pit is used. The Type 226 Sky Ranger data is fed into the HUDWAC. The avionics.ini is set up for normal HUD settings in game to enable you to see the Lock-On diamond. There is no search function on the Sky Ranger radar, it's ranging only. D. Credits : 1.

1st Supersonics ( IAF 1960s MiG Pack ) v1.95 ========================================================================================= INSTALLATION : 1. Drop the folders called "Type 74", "Type76", and "Type 77" into your "Aircraft" directory. for WOV : Wings Over Vietnam/Objects/Aircraft for SFP1 : Strike fighters/Objects/Aircraft 2. For WOV, you should have Patch 1 & the latest Weapons Pack installed. For SFP1, you you have up to SP3 & the Weapons Pack installed. Deuces' Effects Packages are suggested. As are Fubar512's Sounds Packages. Patches & Weapons Pack availible at http://www.combatace.com/ ======================================================================================== Changes In v1.95 : 1. FMs brought up to the current MiG standard by Fubar512. 2. MiG RWR sounds by Fubar512. 3. Updated Type 74 & Type 76 decals by Ghostrider883. 4. New loading screen photo by Ghostrider883. ======================================================================================= Credits : The following people deserve many thanks : 1. Ghostrider883 for his decals, research, & skins. 2. The Wrench, for his excellent Hangarscreen & audio RWR workaround used here. 3. tomcat1974 for his setka3 gunsight .tga 4. MiG radar .tga by Eruyi. Any mistakes are solely mine... The Guys at the SimHQ SFP1 forums, CombatAce, & Column5's forums for inspiration, enlightenment and keeping the faith in allowing SFP1 to mature and grow. ======================================================================================== NOTES: A. This mod is primarily intended for WOV, but was tested in & will work for the earlier SFP1 series Sims. B. v1.8 Changes since the earlier versions in IAF MiG Pack v1.6: 1. As SFP1 becomes more difficult to find, WOV compatibility is crucial. Cockpits of the earlier versions were based on the stock SFP1 F-104G. This has been changed to the A-4B & A-4C pits common to both SFP1 & WOV. Both pits are a stopgap until the SFP1/WOV modding community releases proper MiG cockpits. 2. Availiblity of WOV allows for the more accurate MiG-21PF .LODs as opposed to the earlier PFM LODs in order to reflect the fact the Type 76 was based on the Soviet MiG-21PF, and the Type 77 based on the Soviet MiG-21FL models. Type 74 continues to use the MiG-21F .LODs. IAF 23mm Gunpod continues to be a compromise until such time as a proper GP-9 gunpod is introduced. Droptanks for the Type 74 & Type 76 MiGs are deleted. It is known that the Type 74 used some form of IAF availible non-Soviet droptank, but we still haven't been able to determine which one. Soviet 490 ltr tanks were only introduced with the Type 77. 3. In keeping with further research, all the IAF MiG-21 series now have working Radar Warning Recievers. IAF MiGs were originally fitted with Serina 2 rear hemisphere RWRs then further upgraded. 4. The Indians were initially very skeptical of the MiG-21P ( Fishbed-Cs with the 30mm guns removed ) that the Soviets initially offered for sale. IAF pilots demanded & got the Soviets to jury rig a GP-9 Gunpod to the Type 74 Migs before delivery to India. Type 76 Migs were also supposed to recieve this modification, but the 1965 India-Pakistan War broke out before this could be carried out. During the War, IAF pilots of the 28th "1st Supersonics" Sqdn saw extensive service. Due to a lack of AA-2 missiles, the Type 74s used the gunpod exclusively in battle, while the scarce AA-2 Atolls were reserved for the gunless Type 76 MiGs. Fortunately for the Indians, the Pakistanis also suffered from a shortage of AIM-9B Sidewinders for their F-86F-35 Sabres & F-104A Starfighters. After the 1965 War, the IAF quickly replaced both the Type 74 and Type 76 MiGs with the Type 77s. Soviet Doctrine, which had favored missiles at the expense of guns on fighters, was changed by the combat experiences of the Indians in 1965, and the North Vietnamese during the 1960s... ======================================================================================== Enjoy!

VPAF MiG-17F #3020

File Name: VPAF MiG-17F #3020 File Submitter: howling1 File Submitted: 4 May 2005 File Updated: 11 Feb 2007 File Category: Mig-17 MiG-17F, #3020 Air Force of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam, 923rd Fighter Regiment Yen The, late 1960ies. this aircraft has become one of the most famous "green snakes" of the Vietnamese air force since it's public display in the late 1960ies. it sports 8 kill marks, amassed by different pilots. #3020 was allegedly flown by six-kill ace Le Hai when he shot down a F-4, 14. june 1968. popular narratives connect this aircraft with a dog fight between US-Navy aces Cunningham / Driscoll and the elusive "Col. Tomb" on 10.mai 1972. as of today there is no sign that this Vietnamese "super ace" ever existed outside U.S.-circles, and there is no reason to believe that this aircraft was involved in this fight. however, #3020 does not seem to have survived the war, since it is not displayed in Viet Nam which almost certainly would have been the case if it still existed.

Superfortress Pack v1.5
howling1 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...sst&id=1498 File Name: Superfortress Pack v1.5 File Submitter: howling1 File Submitted: 31 Jul 2005 File Updated: 7 Feb 2008 File Category: Allied Bombers File Version: v1.5 Website: No Information Superfortress Pack v1.5 ========================================================================================= INSTALLATION : 1. Drop the folders called "B-29B" and "Washington B.1"into your "Aircraft" directory. ( Strike Fighters/ Objects/Aircraft or Wings Over Vietnam/Objects/Aircraft ) 2. Open the "Add To Sounds" folder and drop the two .wav files into your Sounds Folder. 3. You should have the most current weapons pack installed, as well as the latest patch. ( Strike Fighters SP3.1 standard, or WOV Patch 2 standard ) ======================================================================================== NOTES: A. MontyCZ's original release of the B-29 was as an AI Only aircraft. There are reasons for this in that SFP1 currently doesn't support heavy bombers targeting systems. However, sim pilots ( being what they are ) will want to take these birds for a spin. To this end, the config.ini has been modified to use an A-4B cockpit, so these birds are flyable. The data.inis have been modified so that the Copilot is not visible ( preventing the disconcerting image of the copilot hanging out in space while you're flying ). B. There are a number of minor errors: the Washington B.1's upper forward turret should have 4 .50s visible instead of two barrels visible on the model. The extras guns are there in the data.ini. The tail gun position on the B-29B should have the 20mm barrel showing ( it's in the data.ini ). You have the extra guns, they just don't show. ======================================================================================== ISSUES: 1. Monty's original release was AI only. I have adjusted the planes so that the A-4B cockpit can be used. Currently, there is both a B-29 cockpit & a working bombsight mod in the works. Until such time as they are released, consider the A-4B pit as a placeholder. You will need to enable the copilot to be seen in the data.inis when you upgrade to a new cockpit. 2. On some terrains, the friendly airfields will not be long enough in order for the B-29s to take off. I have changed the minimum base size from LARGE to MEDIUM in order for the B-29s to be compatable with more terrains. This can be adjusted in the data.ini by changing this line : MinBaseSize=MEDIUM You can change the base size by replacing MEDIUM with either LARGE, or SMALL. ======================================================================================= CREDITS : 1. Many Thanks to MontyCZ for kindly allowing me to release these mods of his B-29. 2. Hangarscreens by "The Wrench". 3. PropLoop4 is based on Pinch's PropLoop3, with the speed slowed & reversed to provide a "deeper" engine .wav. Enjoy! Bob "Howling1" Hauser Click here to download this file -

File Name: AMX Nations Upgrade Kit File Submitter: howling1 File Submitted: 29 Jun 2005 File Updated: 10 Sep 2007 File Category: Light Attack and Trainers NOTE: This is an Upgrade Kit For Rafael's AMX v2.0 That Converts The AMX To Both Italian & Brazilian Versions. ============== AMX Nations Kit v2.1 -------------------- Installation : 1. Download Rafael, C-5, & USAFMTL's AMX v2.0 from http://www.avsim.com/ & install per the v2.0 readme. 2. Make a copy of the aircraft folder, then make sure one copy is named AMX, and one copy is named AMX-1. 3. Open the AMX folder included in the AMX nations kit & place those files in your AMX folder. 4. Open the AMX-1 folder included in the AMX nations kit & place these files in your AMX-1 folder. Allow the nations kit cockpit folder to overwrite the cockpit folder in your AMX-1 folder. 5. You should have SFP1 patch SP3.1, or WOV Patch 2 installed. You should also have the latest weapons pack installed. If not, the weaponsdata.ini entry for the Brazilian MAA-1 Piranha missile will need to be added using the weapons editor : [WeaponDataxxx] TypeName=MAA-1 FullName=MAA-1 Piranha ModelName=AIM9JNP Mass=80.000000 Diameter=0.150000 Length=2.750000 AttachmentType=NATO,ITALY,BRAZIL NationName=BRAZIL StartYear=2002 EndYear=0 Availability=3 BaseQuantity=24 Exported=TRUE ExportStartYear=2005 ExportAvailability=3 WeaponDataType=1 RailLaunched=TRUE RocketPod=FALSE Retarded=FALSE Streamlined=TRUE FinStabilized=TRUE SpinStabilized=TRUE HasGrowl=TRUE EffectClassName=SmallMissileEffects ReleaseDelay=0.000000 WarheadType=0 Explosives=12.000000 FusingDistance=1.000000 ClusterBomblets=0 ClusterDispersion=0.000000 GuidanceType=10 Accuracy=90.000000 MaxTurnRate=29.000000 MaxLaunchG=9.000000 LockonChance=85.000000 LaunchReliability=90.000000 ArmingTime=0.500000 SeekerFOV=2.500000 SeekerGimbleLimit=40.000000 SeekerTrackRate=30.000000 SeekerRange=10000.000000 MinLaunchRange=300.000000 MaxLaunchRange=10000.000000 Duration=47.000000 CounterCountermeasure=85.000000 NoiseRejection=85.000000 CapabilityFlags=0x000004c0 BoosterStart=0.000000 BoosterDuration=2.200000 BoosterAccel=29.500000 BoosterEffectName=SmokelessMissileEffect BoosterSoundName=Missile BoosterNodeName= BoosterPosition=0.000000,-1.530000,0.000000 SustainerDuration=0.000000 SustainerAccel=0.000000 SustainerEffectName= SustainerSoundName= SustainerPosition=0.000000,-1.530000,0.000000 InFlightEffectName=MissileInFlightEffect InFlightSoundName= ReleaseAnimationID=-1 6.

Rafael's excellent AMX was released prior to the advent of both the weapons pack project, and Thirdwire's release of patch SP3.1 & WOV Patch 2. This kit updates the AMX to both the Italian AMX AMI version and the Brazilian version by EMBRAER. As such, both versions now have the appropriate cannon armament, as well as radar, RWR, and ECM capabilities. 2. Italian AMX AMIs were used primarily as light ground attack craft with limited air intercept functions. As such their primary heatseeking missile is the AIM-9L. They replaced both G-91 and F-104 aircraft in Italian service. 3. The AMX-1 EMBRAERs in Brazilian service generally carried Hydra rockets, and the AIM-9P series of IRMs. Beginning in 2002, the AIM-9Ps were replaced with the indiginous Orbita MAA-1 Piranha missiles. The EMBRAER built AMX-1s also carry the more capable Scipio SCP-01 radar to aid in air intercepts. 4. Please note that the config.inis for both versions of the AMX include data for all currently availible AMX skins, both Italian and Brazilian. These skins are availible for download at both AVSIM and the MarcFighters section at CombatAce.

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...ode=sst&id=1400 File Name: Chengdu F-7A Export v1.95File Submitter: howling1 File Submitted: 25 Jun 2005 File Updated: 6 Dec 2006 File Category: Mig-21 Chengdu F-7A Export v1.95 ======================================= A. Installation Instructions: NOTE: You need to have the most current Weapons Pack ( W/Updates ) installed. SFP1 should be patched to SP3.1 standard. WOV should have Patch 2 installed. 1. Unzip & extract into your Strike Fighters or Wings Over Vietnam "Objects/Aircraft" directory. 2. Open the "Add To Sounds" folder and drop the .wav files into your SFP1 or WOV Sounds folder. --------------------------------------- B. F-7A ( F-7 II ) History : This is a mod of Gramps F-7M Airguard/Skybolt into the less sophisticated F-7A Export version. *This* is the fighter that comes to mind with Western Defence Analysts when you mention Chinese Fighter. Basically a stripped down version of the MiG-21F. These were the first F-7s offered for sale by China and lack features that China's own line J-7 IIs carried. Primarily sold to African nations & Albania, these initial offerings could carry either Soviet IRMs or the early Chinese copies. Principle users included Albania, Tanzania, Iraq ( wired for Matra R-550s ), and possibly the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards. Simplistic, even by African standards, this "no frills" fighter is what you want if you're more interested in having a status symbol supersonic air force. ---------------------------------------- C. Changes In v1.95 1. Cockpit changed to A-4B for WOV compatability. 2. RWR added. ( Fubar's MiG RWR Sounds included ) 3. Radar corrected, based on more accurate data. 4. MiG Fishbed C engine .wav now included. 5. Canopy decals by WhiteKnight included. 6. This mod includes the stock Soviet Silver skin modified to use the Soviet Killing Markings Decal Mod for all stock SFP1 MiGs availible at Lee Sullivan's SFP1 site ( http://home.att.net/~r.lee.sullivan/blackhawk-island.html ). Many thanks to Lee for his permission to use this Mod. ---------------------------------------- Credits : 1. Hangarscreen, & F-7 concept by Gramps. 2. MiG RWR sounds by Fubar512. 3. MiG Kill Markings Mod by Lee Sullivan. 4. Geg Gunsight by Geg Etendard. 5. Blessings on WhiteKnight for coming up with Canopy Decals to "Plate Over" the glass area behind the pilot's seat in the F-7s. Again special thanks to Richard "Gramps" Kaminski from whom's F-7M Airguard/Skybolt that this mod is based. Bob *howling1* Hauser Click here to download this file -

File Name: IAF Rakshak Flogger-B File Submitter: howling1 File Submitted: 7 Jun 2005 File Updated: 9 Sep 2007 File Category: Soviet Aircraft and Variants ===============/ Indian Air Force "Rakshak" ( MiG-23MF mod. ) Flogger-B v1.0 Readme /======================== A. installation : 1. Place the Rakshak folder in your Strike Fighters/Objects/Aircraft, or your Wings Over Vietnam/Objects/Aircraft folder. 2. Place the four .wav files inside the "Add To Sounds Folder" in your Strike Fighters/Sounds, or your Wings Over Vietnam/Sounds folder. 3. Your copy of Strike Fighters should be pached to SP3.1 standard. Your Wings Over Vietnam should be patched to Patch 2 standard. 4. You should have the most current version of the Weapons Pack installed. ( Weapons Packs availible at http://www.combatace.com/ B. Notes: 1. The Rakshak is intended for Indo-Pakistan Campaigns & Missions. The Rakshak is the MiG-23MF built under licence in India by HAL. Unlike Soviet/WP -23MFs the Rakshak recieved minor improvements to include the ability to carry up to eight HAL AA-8 Aphid missiles. While we have photos of static display Rakshaks with these AA-8s installed. The normal warload for the Rakshak thoughout most of it's career appears to have been both SAHM & IRM versions of the HAL AA-7, & the loadout.ini reflects this. The data.ini also gives you the option to carry a full 8x HAL AA-8s as well. 2. Rakshaks entered serviced with the Indian Air Force in 1982. They served in general service until 2003 before being withdrawn & replaced by both MiG-29s & Su-30s. How- ever, limited numbers of the Rakshak remain in service with the TACDE Training Command Of the Indian Air Force. C. Dredits : 1. Special thanks to Ghostrider883 for research help & skins for both versions of the Rakshak. 2. Thanks to the Wrench for his excellent Hangarscreens. 3. Thanks to Fubar512 for his MiGEngine & Soviet RWR sounds mod. 4. Thanks to Rafael, Column5 & the original Team Flogger for allowing to mod the Rakshak in the first place. 5. And special thanks to Bpao for graciously allowing me to use his revision of Rafael's original Flogger Model. These guys did all the hard work & deserve the Lion's Share of the Credit. Original version readmes included so everybody gets the proper credit that they deserve... Enjoy!

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...ode=sst&id=1337 File Name: PAF F-86F-35-NA Beta v0.6File Submitter: howling1 File Submitted: 8 Jun 2005 File Updated: 6 Aug 2006 File Category: F-86 PAF F-86F-35-NA Readme v0.5 =========================== A. installation ; 1. Simply drop the "PAF F-86F35" into either your Strike Fighters or your Wings Over Vietnam Objects/Aircraft folder. 2. You should already be patched to SFP1 SP3.1, or WOV Patch 2 standard. 3. You should also have the latest Weapons Pack installed ( availible at http://www.combatace.com/ ). B. Notes : 1. The PAF F-86F-35s were surplus USAF fighters designed to employ the Mk.12A Nuclear bomb using the LABS method. When the F-35s were sold to both Pakistan & Portugal, the LABS timers were removed. PAF F-86F-35s however retained the sight ( similar to the also LABS equipped A-4s ). Indeed PAF Sabre pilots refered to the gunsights as "A-4 sights". 2. While the F-86F-35 was able to carry 8 HVAR underwing rockets in US service, the PAF apparently pre- fered to use rocket pods instead. Later PAF Canadair Sabre 6s also carried rocket pods in lieu of HVARs. C. Credits : 1. Hangarscreen by "The Wrench". 2. Paki Skin by USAFMTL ( Note this was the first ever Pakistan skin for Strike Fighters ). Originally done for the F-86F-40. 3. M.M. Alam skin by Ajunaidr. M.M. Alam was the ranking Pakistani Ace of the 1965 Indo-Pak War. 4. PAF 17 Sqdn skin by Ghostrider883, based on a drawing by Bill Gunston. Note that 17 Sqdn operated both F-86F-35 and the Canadair Sabre 6 during their "Sabre Years". 5. And most importantly, special thanks to the mighty "Zur" for allowing me to tinker with his F-86F model. As usual, these guys did all the hard work, any mistakes are mine. Enjoy!

This mods the stock F-4E to the Israeli version used in Yom Kippur War period. 2. NationName is changed to Israel. 3. Chaff/Flares/Jammer added. Note that F-4Es delivered to Israel before the Yom Kippur War did not have countermeasures installed. During the War, replacement F-4Es from US stocks came with their ECM equipment. Some IDF Phantoms were also up- graded during the conflict. 4. Two skins are included, one for US replacements ( which had hasty Star-Of-Davids painted over the US Camo ). This base USAF camo skin is the stock SFP1 skin. The second skin is the Kurnas skin by Jennifer. This skin was one of the first ever done for SFP1 and was only availible at the now defunct Skunkworks site. Jennifer has since moved on, but this skin of hers is included as a tribute to her early contributions to the SFP1 Community, which will not be forgotten. 5.

File Name: Soviet Sounds File Submitter: howling1 File Submitted: 23 May 2005 File Category: SF Sound Mods Soviet Sounds Readme ================================ 1. this is a bunch of .wav engine files that I had laying around. I tried to match these as closely as possible to the film clip sounds from Soviet fighters on some old Wings episodes I had on VHS. The sounds may not be exact, but they are reasonably close. 2. Try these .wavs for : Fishbed-C = J-7 series, Type 74, Type 76, Type 77, MiG-19, F-6 Fishbed-L = For the advanced MiG-21MF & above, Chinese J-7 III 9 J-7C/D ) Flogger = Flogger Family Frogfoot = Su-15s & Su-25 ( When it's released ) Bear = For Pasko's Tu-95 Sukhoi = Su-7, Su-9, Su-11, Su-17 Beagle = IL-28, H-5 series, MiG-15, MiG-15bis, MiG-17 Family Foxbat = MiG-25 Family Fulcrum = MiG-29 Family Badger = Tu-16s, H-6, Tu-22s 3. TO INSTALL : simply drop the .wav file into your Strike Fighters or WOV Sounds folder, Then in the aircraft data.ini, scroll down to the [sound] section and change to the .wav that you want to use. Expample is for a MiG-15UTI [sound] EngineSoundName=JetEngine < < < CHANGE THIS TO : Beagle AfterburnerSoundName=JetBurner DamagedEngineSound= FlapsSoundName=Flaps AirbrakesSoundName=Airbrakes GearsSound=Gear 4. Hopefully, these will add more spice to your SFP1/WOV experience until such time as a more accurate set of Soviet Sounds is released.

FW-190A-8/R2 "Wurger"

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...ode=sst&id=1271 File Name: FW-190A-8/R2 "Wurger" File Submitter: howling1 File Submitted: 20 May 2005 File Updated: 7 Feb 2008 File Category: Axis Fighters File Version: v1.0 Website: No Information Foche-Wulf FW-190A-8/R2 " Wurger " Readme ------------ 1. This is a mod of Wolf257's original FW-190A ( FW-190A-5 ) aircraft. The FW-190A-8/R2 was a field modification intended to give the Luftwaffe more firepower when dealing with the heavily armored Allied four engined bombers such as the B-17, the B-24, and the Lancaster. Primary change was to the armament, with 13mm MG131s replacing the 7.92mm fuselage MGs, and the outboard wing cannon changed to 30mm Mk.108s. Some FW-190A-8s also were modded to carry underwing gunpods with either a single 30mm cannon or twin 20mm MG151s. When these gunpods are released in the future, the FW-190A-8/R2 will be able to carry them, as well as Wgr 21 210mm unguided rockets on their release also. 2. To install, drop the FW190A-8R2 folder in your Objects/Aircraft folder. Then open the " Items You Need To Add To... " folder and follow the instructions included in the readme there. 3. Special thanks goes to Wolf257 for allowing me to mod his "Baby", & Gramps for graciously allowing me to use his JG300 skin.

1st Supersonics ( 1960s IAF MiG Pack ) v1.95
howling1 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...ode=sst&id=1257 File Name: 1st Supersonics ( 1960s IAF MiG Pack ) v1.95File Submitter: howling1 File Submitted: 17 May 2005 File Updated: 6 Dec 2006 File Category: Mig-21 1st Supersonics ( IAF 1960s MiG Pack ) v1.95 ========================================================================================= INSTALLATION : 1. Drop the folders called "Type 74", "Type76", and "Type 77" into your "Aircraft" directory. for WOV : Wings Over Vietnam/Objects/Aircraft for SFP1 : Strike fighters/Objects/Aircraft 2. For WOV, you should have Patch 1 & the latest Weapons Pack installed. For SFP1, you you have up to SP3 & the Weapons Pack installed. Deuces' Effects Packages are suggested. As are Fubar512's Sounds Packages. Patches & Weapons Pack availible at http://www.combatace.com/ ======================================================================================== Changes In v1.95 : 1. FMs brought up to the current MiG standard by Fubar512. 2. MiG RWR sounds by Fubar512. 3. Updated Type 74 & Type 76 decals by Ghostrider883. 4. New loading screen photo by Ghostrider883. ======================================================================================= Credits : The following people deserve many thanks : 1. Ghostrider883 for his decals, research, & skins. 2. The Wrench, for his excellent Hangarscreen & audio RWR workaround used here. 3. tomcat1974 for his setka3 gunsight .tga 4. MiG radar .tga by Eruyi. Any mistakes are solely mine... The Guys at the SimHQ SFP1 forums, CombatAce, & Column5's forums for inspiration, enlightenment and keeping the faith in allowing SFP1 to mature and grow. ======================================================================================== NOTES: A. This mod is primarily intended for WOV, but was tested in & will work for the earlier SFP1 series Sims. B. v1.8 Changes since the earlier versions in IAF MiG Pack v1.6: 1. As SFP1 becomes more difficult to find, WOV compatibility is crucial. Cockpits of the earlier versions were based on the stock SFP1 F-104G. This has been changed to the A-4B & A-4C pits common to both SFP1 & WOV. Both pits are a stopgap until the SFP1/WOV modding community releases proper MiG cockpits. 2. Availiblity of WOV allows for the more accurate MiG-21PF .LODs as opposed to the earlier PFM LODs in order to reflect the fact the Type 76 was based on the Soviet MiG-21PF, and the Type 77 based on the Soviet MiG-21FL models. Type 74 continues to use the MiG-21F .LODs. IAF 23mm Gunpod continues to be a compromise until such time as a proper GP-9 gunpod is introduced. Droptanks for the Type 74 & Type 76 MiGs are deleted. It is known that the Type 74 used some form of IAF availible non-Soviet droptank, but we still haven't been able to determine which one. Soviet 490 ltr tanks were only introduced with the Type 77. 3. In keeping with further research, all the IAF MiG-21 series now have working Radar Warning Recievers. IAF MiGs were originally fitted with Serina 2 rear hemisphere RWRs then further upgraded. 4. The Indians were initially very skeptical of the MiG-21P ( Fishbed-Cs with the 30mm guns removed ) that the Soviets initially offered for sale. IAF pilots demanded & got the Soviets to jury rig a GP-9 Gunpod to the Type 74 Migs before delivery to India. Type 76 Migs were also supposed to recieve this modification, but the 1965 India-Pakistan War broke out before this could be carried out. During the War, IAF pilots of the 28th "1st Supersonics" Sqdn saw extensive service. Due to a lack of AA-2 missiles, the Type 74s used the gunpod exclusively in battle, while the scarce AA-2 Atolls were reserved for the gunless Type 76 MiGs. Fortunately for the Indians, the Pakistanis also suffered from a shortage of AIM-9B Sidewinders for their F-86F-35 Sabres & F-104A Starfighters. After the 1965 War, the IAF quickly replaced both the Type 74 and Type 76 MiGs with the Type 77s. Soviet Doctrine, which had favored missiles at the expense of guns on fighters, was changed by the combat experiences of the Indians in 1965, and the North Vietnamese during the 1960s... ======================================================================================== Enjoy!

A-4H "Ahit" Beta v1.3
howling1 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
File Name: A-4H "Ahit" Beta v1.3 File Submitter: howling1 File Submitted: 7 May 2005 File Updated: 6 Dec 2006 File Category: A-4 For those who have downloaded Sundowner's Israeli A-4F skin pack and want an Israeli A-4 to put them on, this kit provides the files to convert a copy of the A-4F into the Israeli A-4H. As such it's a work around until we get a proper Israeli A-4H/N. =========== -4H "Ahit" Beta v1.3 Readme ======================= 1. This version corrects the ECM & clarifies the droptank data. 2. This is a "Quick & Dirty" conversion of the ThirdWire A-4F to an Israeli version. As such, it will enable you to operate an "Israeli" advanced Skyhawk until such time as a proper A-4N Skyhawk II can be built. 3. You must have SFP1 ( Patched to SP3.1 ) or WOV w/Patch 2 in order to use this mod. You must also have the most current Weapons Pack with Updates in order for the guns to work. This mod assumes that you also have Sundowner's Israeli Skyhawk skin package already downloaded ( Availible from http://www.combatace.com/ ). As well as ThirdWire's A-4F Skyhawk ( Also at CombatAce ). ======================= INSTALLATION : A. Make a copy of your A-4F aircraft Folder. Rename this to A-4H B. Add the A-4H config.ini, the A-4H data.ini, the A-4H loadout.ini, and the A-4H Loading.bmp to your new A-4H folder. The A-4H folder should now be placed in your Strike Fighters/Objects/Aircraft , or your WOV/Objects/Aircraft folder. C. If you want Sundowner's Israeli camoflage tanks to show in the A-4H Loadout screen, add the following entry : [WeaponDataXXX] TypeName=Tank300_A4IDF FullName=Israeli 300-gal Drop Tank ModelName=tank300_a4ais Mass=989.500000 Diameter=0.650000 Length=6.020000 AttachmentType= NationName= StartYear=0 EndYear=0 Availability=0 BaseQuantity=0 Exported=FALSE ExportStartYear=0 ExportAvailability=0 WeaponDataType=5 MaxFuelAmount=884.520020 Asymmetrical=FALSE This enables your Israeli Camo droptanks to show up as the default tanks for this aircraft. You must add this data to your weaponsdata.ini ( make sure than the WeaponData number is the next one in sequence ), then save the weaponsdata.ini using the SP3 Weapons Editor. Note : You should also have Sundowner's tank entry in your weaponsdata.ini if you wish to use his tanks with Israeli skins for the A-4E & A-4EL : [WeaponDataxxx] TypeName=Tank300_A4 FullName=Israeli 300-gal Drop Tank ModelName=tank300_a4ais Mass=989.500000 Diameter=0.650000 Length=6.020000 AttachmentType= NationName= StartYear=0 EndYear=0 Availability=0 BaseQuantity=0 Exported=FALSE ExportStartYear=0 ExportAvailability=0 WeaponDataType=5 MaxFuelAmount=884.520020 Asymmetrical=FALSE ================================================ v1.3 Changes to the A-4H from the A-4F : 1. the 20mm cannon are replaced with DEFA 30mm cannon ( each with 150 rounds ). 2. the tailhook has been disabled ( Israel doesn't have carriers ). 3. an early model chaff dispencer & flare dispencer has been added. Jammer strength increased. ( Note that the jammer strength is toned down in v1.3. The initial strength of 48 was entirely *Too* effective. ) 4. Sundowner's IDF skins are set up as default skins. Same with his droptanks. Note that there should be two tank entries in the weaponsdata.ini for use with both A-4E & A-4H. 5. Aircraft nationality is changed to Israel. 6. Wrench's Canopy Mod now included. 7. Wrenchs IAF Skyhawk1 Hangarscreen also included. Enjoy! ============== Click here to download this file -
