Updated version posted. decided that Spectre8750s A-10A_93 model better represented a LASTE upgrade than TWs model did. on further research, also determined that several serials that were listed for the A-10 before were not actually there. Updated serials as well as creating a skin for the two airframes that were still Euro 1 camo. also added sounds, effects and weapons to make the A-10A_93 work better, and updated the A-10A_78 to match if you downloaded this mod in 2022, just download the LASTE update. if you havent downloaded this mod before feel free to download the 31122022 version (full mod)

View File 23d Wing Pope AFB 1994 23d Wing Pope AFB 1994 In the 1990s, the USAF experimented with composite wings that would have everything needed within a single unit for deployment into a regional fight. The 23 Wing was formed in 1992 to bring about this vision, as applied to direct support of US Army forces. By 1994, 4 squadrons were ready at Pope AFB NC to support the US Army's 82d ABN DIV at neighboring Fort Bragg. The 2d and 41st Airlift Squadrons flying the C-130E Hercules, the 74th Fighter Squadron flying the F-16C/D Block 40 Vipers, and the 75th Fighter Squadron flying the A-10A Warthog. As is tradition for the 23d Wing, which traces its lineage to the Flying Tigers of World War 2, every aircraft in the wing sported a sharks mouth. This mod brings together everything needed to get the 23d Wing into the fight. Complete aircraft (including a newly revamped F-16D Block 40 from ravenclaw007), period specific weapons, sounds and effects. Included Viper Team F-16C Block 40 and 75th FS skin ravenclaw007/Viper Team F-16D Block 40 and 75th FS skin Dels C-130E_SKE with 2d ALS, 41st ALS Grey and 23d Wing Euro 1 skins Various period specific weapons (actively in use 1994-1996) Installation unzip folder * drop into mod folder of your choice * allow overwrites Known Issues The C-130 and its weapons are primarlily eye candy. There are unfortuneatly no paratroop drop missions in SF2, and so if you want to drop say 1/325 INF onto a drop zone, you will need to select a recon mission and punch those partarooper out by hand I have been having issues getting the LAPES Sheridan tank to create a "crater" after dropping. it is still included for the visuals of puching a tank out the back of a Herk, and because there was still an Airborne Armor Bn at Bragg in 1994. But at this time the tank will disappear on contact with the ground Credits Viper Team all F-16 models included ravenclaw_007 tweeked F-16D model and templates (C and D) Dels C-130E_SKE model killerbee331 original weapons pack that many armaments are drawn from here malibu43 2_LAU-88 mod to carry 4 Maverick rather than 6 XRAY base skin for 75th FS 94 yakarov79 LAPES M551 Sheridan and tech support with said tank daddyairplanes skins, tga work, much research, various ini edits, new TW inspired loading screens test team NightshadeP/R, allenjb42 and special thanks to William Godwin (callsign Radio), 23d Wing Historian at Moody AFB I hope you enjoy this mod. After 12 years total at Ft Bragg (all but 4 of them seeing the Hogs overhead near everyday) this one was a bit more personal than some other mods daddyairplanes aka Kevin Unruh 4 July 2022 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX UPDATE 31 DEC 20220 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX After further research on other Hog units, and closer examination of the TW model, i have included Spectre8750's A-10A_93 model with updated numbers list. I also changed several serials after determining that they were at other bases in 1995. The deduction I used to find the C-130 serials didnt work as well for the Hogs. But it is fixed and I even discovered two Tiger Shark Hogs that were still in Euro 1 camoflage at the time. The A-10A_93 features two skins for the bulk of the gray birds and the two green ones. ************************************************************* This is freeware; it CANNOT be distributed unless permissions are granted by myself.

just a couple more. almost done with this one already. kinda easy when you only have 24 airframes to cover, and acutally remove alot of weapons capability.......

nother cool scene while looking at something completely different.... Castle Birds in Dhimar

the main project. 93rd BW birds were added when they kept popping up during research

aint fully back, but couldnt do cold turkey until March....

found out a few things doing other research.....

no, it doesnt stand for CombatAce......

i dont know the layout on the Mustang, but on brief look, you may want to put two decals on the nose: one with the lines and details, and one with the colors (looking at the yellow and teh OD green) then, your details can be one tga thats huge, and the color set can be smaller underneath the detail tga. place the details tga in a common folder, and you only need it in there once. develop them same sizes , then just scale the final product down on the nose color one. place the detail one last in the decal ini, so it shows on top of the others. but thats damn sharp for a decal all the same

if you dont have a lot of detailing to them (basic shapes) then you can resize when done to a more manageable 512 or even 256 if theres nothing but shapes when you keep alot of details or lettering in a tga, then its better to keep the size as big as 1000. maybe reduce to 768 (the midway of 1024 and 512). depends on detail and results from the first few attempts at shrinking. but the suggestions out there even if you dont weather the birds, to drop the file sizes down

looks good doing the big parts as tga, are you thinking of doing weathering on them as well? set up about six to ten variations, then repeat and disperse throughout the whole series

dont think theyre talking Mavericks, they have mostly been talking JDAM. only recently hearing about mounting them on fighters, a few weeks ago they were talking about mounting SDBs as warheads on the HiMARs rockets. Boeing has been working on this for some time and its supposedly able to go into service next year https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/100-mile-strike-weapon-weighed-ukraine-arms-makers-wrestle-with-demand-sources-2022-11-28/

im pretty sure amongst the old heads, some of us have the old catpacks laying around....

https://b17texasraiders.org/index.php/gift-shop/388-new-history-of-tr found this while doing other research

look around. knowledge base is a good place to spend some time. however, this topic is still on the top of the recent new threads when you first hit the site

you can use Blender as well

gotta be careful going down that path of many units in one package

i will confirm, alot of the weapons from the ODS30AE are tweeked to work specifically with certain aircraft and even certain pylons (well, weapon stations to be specific). for general advice i will say this is the time to learn to compare entries and how things work. i wont give specific advice on any of it because there's a hell of alot. the head honcho for 30AE will probably tell you not to f*** with it as its worked on by a team to be as good as possible. while that is true, modders are tinkerers. pull s*** apart and put it back together again. learn how to do so and make it work. the experts even know how to hide the extra parts i wont tell you not to pull ODS30AE apart, might as well tell a tide to stay out. but i will say that assitance on specifics might be sparse. use the knowledge base, go through the old forum threads. there is alot of info in there that will help you

Edge, like its predecessor, is the best browser to get another browser! but i agree with bazillius, and prefer to use firefox for most things. only using chrome on my school laptop because the school site works better with it finally, extra points to other Kevin for using the ancient computer of Theseus

how deeply have you compared to other naval fighters in house? i would particulary think to look at the A-6 and A-1s

every graphic so far has said it would be smaller since it was announced.
