Files
Here are some utilities/files that I find useful in a combat pilot's life. NOTE: I assume no responsibility for any damages dealt by any of these programs. If there is a ReadMe File that comes with the program, I urge you to read it first before using the program. Oh, and you will need some sort of utility to unzip most of these files. Although most people use WinZip, I recommend WinAce.

Missions
I Like to make missions, and usually I'm very picky about what I put in them. You might notice that I put a lot of detail into custom missions, so they take me a long time to make. Remember though: If the mission doesn't have a weapons load screen before you fly, that means that the planes have custom load-outs. You will seriously alter the mission if you change or save anything additional onto these missions. Just warnin' ya. Have fun with 'em. If you'd like to send me a mission you want posted on here, just e-mail it to me (the .m file and .mt file if it has one) at ATFSGeoff@rcn.com
I am not liable for any damages a mission might do to your machine if the mission wasn't created by me.

Regarding TOD2 Missions:
These ToD 2 missions were taken from the TOD3 website, and are not to be modified in any way. I simply regrouped them into larger, less cumbersome files. If you would like to know more, visit the TOD3 website, posted on my links page.
LIBS
Ah, now for some Libs and how they stack up against the normal FA game engine. I rate Libs on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the greatest lib in history, and 1 being the cream of the crap. If you have a Lib you'd like to have posted here, just send it to me, and I'll review and post it here. Click the name of the lib to download it.
This lib was created by B.T. Ace, and it encompasses most of the Yugoslavian Air forces' aircraft and weapons. It adds lots of new planes, weapons, and alters the game play a bit (from what I've noticed, the gun-fire rate has been fixed). I gave it a whirl and found that it was a major improvement over the normal game. Lotsa new planes that'll keep your imagination roaming for new mission ideas. They even have tons of new bombs, including the MK-81 250lb GP bomb. I love those things! Definitely a great lib. Includes the Lib and a ReadMe file in .doc format for details about what it does. I rate it at an 8.
All I can say is wow. This is, without a doubt, the best lib I've ever used. It exceeds even the legendary 714 lib in my opinion. This lib does it all. It corrects the game physics, adds plenty of weapons, including nukes, and makes AAA and SAMs a valid threat. No more waltzing through a AAA zone like before; now you've gotta work to get to your target! This lib also evens the odds between the American and Russian aircraft/weapons. In the original game, Russian planes and weapons were, for lack of better words, crappy. This lib upgrades most Russian weapons and aircraft to rival, if not exceed, their western counterparts. You can read more about this lib on Iceman's site, and in the ReadMe file included with the lib. The link goes to Iceman's site. And don't forget to d/l the lib add-on I have posted above on this page. I rate it at a 9.5.
...I'll have to get around to reviewing and posting more Libs.. Just not now....
