MiG-23PFM Fishtail-D Beta
*****************
----------------------------------------------------------
I. History
 
This is a "What if" plane. It was not real, but could have been it if the E-8 development line would not have been canceled in 1962.
Imagine: A lot of MiG ingenieurs did not agree with Mikoyans decision to stop the E-8 program. They made a proposal to use proven elements of the E-8 and the MiG-21PF to start a new project called E-9. Mikoyan agreed and intended to use the E-9 as gap filler till his favored project E-11, the later swing wing MiG-23 Flogger, was ready. In autumn 1963 the E-9 was ready for flight tests. It was a combination of MiG-21PF engine, wings and avionics with a new fuselage, tail and canards. The E-9 was accepted by the soviet air force in spring 1964 and entered the production line in summer 1964 as MiG-23F.
In 1966 the Soviet Air Force demanded to equip the new fighter with state of the art avionics and to increase the range. So the MiG-23 Fishtail got a bigger fuselageback fueltank, a modified vertical tail, a mirror on the canopy. Other modifications are the more powerfull R-13 engine and the Saphir-21 Radar, but in the version RP-23. It is not widely known, that the Saphir 21 was originaly developed for the E-8. Only with a smaller antenna it could be fitted in the MiG-21 as RP-22. The smaller antenna reduced the detection range of this radar by 10 km. An other welcome addition of the PF is the ability to carry one gunpod under the left wing root.
In 1970 the last and most advanced version of the Fishtail was accepted by the Soviet Air Force. New features were the R-25 engine and the big backfueltank. The combat abilities were incresed by a now internal GSha-23 gun, double short range IR missile rails and chaff flare dispensers.

Known issues. It is still a beta. I know that the flight gear movement is not perfect. I know, that the skin is only a test shot, quick and dirty. etc.
I will try to make it better as fast as possible.

IAI/Mikoyan Gurevych MiG-29I Shu'Al (Fox) for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 (Israel or Merged)
 
I modded the MiG-29 from The Mirage Factory to make it look like a fictional fighter and recon plane for the israeli air force.
 
 
BACKGROUND
During the first Iraq War in 1991, a group of iraqi MiG-29 decided to desert trying to escape the fate their comrades faced against the overwhelming power of the USAF, US Navy and their allies. Their escape ended over the Golan Heights, where they were intercepted by a entire squadron of F-15 Baz and F-16 Netz patrolling. Due to some misunderstanding between the deserters and the defending pilots, two MiG-29 were shot down and the remaining ones got escorted to the Ramat David Airbase.
 
Israel handed the pilots over to the US for further interrogation and kept the MiGs for studies. The capabilities of the plane convinced the commanders of the IDF. Israel offered Mikoyan Gurevych a offer for the license they could not refuse to accept, since MiG suffered a lot financially after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The MiG-29 was modified by IAI. Two years later, the first MiG-29I Shu'Al did it's maiden flight on the 24th of June 1993.
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. Drop the folders into your MODS Folder. If asked to overwrite, click yes.
 
 
CREDITS
 
All credit belongs to ALL the members of The Mirage Factory for their fantastic work they did with this model.
Special credit goes to Oliver Anguille for his effort and hard work. May he rest in peace.
 
Also big thanks to dast24 for porting the plane to SF2-Standards. A job well done.
 
 
Old readme from the original SFP1-Model is included.
 
 
For any further questions don't hesitate to contact me.

MiG-17PF of the EAF
 
***************************************************
I .Credits
***************************************************
The basic of my MiG-17PF is the J-5A of Fallout3, which you can find in the Combatace.com downloadsection Modern Era Aircraft/Aircraft of the PLAAF. Fallout3 made a new LOD file, so that an additionally nose section (as in the other MiG-17PF mods) is not longer neccessary.
 
The cockpit is the great MiG-21PFM cockpit made by MAGO & BADGER the BAD.
 
My share of this new bird are modified ini files and a new skin.
I made new data.ini on the basic of TK's stock MiG-17F, so the handling of the PF is similar to the F. I also made a new radar by using the datas i have found in the book "Flugzeuge und Hubschrauber der NVA von 1956 bis 1970".
 
Thanks to all whos files i have used to make this MiG-17PF.
 
***************************************************
II. MiG-17PF
***************************************************
The MiG-17PF was the successor of the MiG-17P, which was developed by the MiG OKB as a reaction on the radar equipped F-86 Sabre (Project SP). The flight performance of the P was not satisfying, thatswhy a new engine with afterburner was installed. So the PF was born. The PF was the first all weather frontline interceptor of the Soviet Union and formed for a relative short periode the backbone of the all weather interceptor fleet of the Warshaw Pact countries.
In combat action the MiG-17PF was used in the israeli-arab clashes but also in Vietnam. Some american spy planes were shot down over soviet territory by MiG-17PFs of the PVO.
The PF was armed only with 3 23mm guns. In contrary to the chinese copy J-5A the original MiG-17PF had no additionally hardpoints for missiles under the wing. Missiles came later with the gunless MiG-17PFU.
 
This mod represents an egyptian MiG-17PF before the 6 day war.

T-55AM Panzer of ZAHAL
 
In the 6-Days War of 1967 Israel captured a lot of syrian and egyptian T-55. This panzers were used in the israeli Army (ZAHAL) up to the 70th and proved as good and reliable combat vehicles.
During the Yom-Kippur-War the israeli T-55 formed the spearhead of Sharons counter offensive to cross the Suez Canal. In combat with egyptian T-55 the israeli T-55 proved superior due better crew training.

F-16D Brakeet for WOI
Heyl Ha Avir (Israeli Air Force)
-------------------------------------------------
 
I. This mod is written for WOI
--------------------------------------------------------------
II. The Heyl Ha Avir was the first Air Force who used the F-16D double seater mostly not as training aircraft, but as strike plane. The israeli Name of this bird is Brakeet what means Thunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------
III. I used the F-16D.lod of TeamViper, added TK's original Flightmodel of the F-16A and modded it to fit the F-16D Brakeet data. Differences to the original model are also, that i made the nose gear stearing, the ailerons are moving now. Chaff and Flares are shooting now upward. I added a Laser system etc pp...
I modded TK's original cockpit and avionics in that way, that now BVR missiles are available. The Radar screen now shows the naming of the different modes (not more 3 times AIR, but RWS,TWS,LOCK)
Finally i took Wilcos F-16 skin, modded it a little bit.
All this parts i put together to have a israeli F-16D Brakeet.

F-16B Netz Blk 5 for WOI
Heyl Ha Avir (Israeli Air Force)
-------------------------------------------------
 
I. This mod is written for WOI
--------------------------------------------------------------
II. The Heyl Ha Avir was the first Air Force who used the F-16B double seater in majority not as training aircraft, but as strike plane. The israeli name of this bird is Netz what means Falcon.
---------------------------------------------------------------
III. Credits: I used the F-16B_Netz.lod of TeamViper (USAFMTL, Swede,Wpnsgt etc.), added TK's original Flightmodel of the F-16A and modded it to fit the F-16B Netz data. The F-16B Netz now handles very well, take of speed at apporx 300 kph, landing speed approx 280 kph, 360° curve at 1000 meters with start speed 800 kph in 20 seconds.
Differences to the original model are also, that i made the nose gear stearing and the Chaff and Flares are shooting now upward. etc pp... Unfortunatly i was unable to make the ailerons moving. I tried it and it worked well, but the flaps started sometimes to flicker. Thatswhy i removed the working ailerons again.
I implemented TK's original cockpit and avionics and modded it a little bit so that the Radar screen now shows the naming of the different modes (not more 3 times AIR, but RWS,TWS,ACM,LOCK).
All this parts i put together to have a israeli F-16B Netz.
To say it clearly. I made only the finish. The credit of 99% of this bird belongs to team Viper and TK. The other 1% is mine.

F-16C Heyl Ha Avir (Israeli Air Force) for WOI
-------------------------------------------------
 
I. This mod is written for WOI
--------------------------------------------------------------
II. This is a mod to represent the F-16C, as it is flow by the IAF.
---------------------------------------------------------------
III. I used the great F-16A_blk15-belge LOD of the Mirage Factory (thanks for the permission to use it), added TK's original flightmodel of the F-16A and modded it to fit the F-16C data, gave the flares and chaffs an other ejection direction, made the frontgear stearing etc. Then i modded TK's original cockpit and avionics in that way, that now BVR missiles are available. The Radar modi now are displayed in the radar screen (not only Air anymore, but RWS,TWS,ACM,LOCK)
Then i asked Alejandro, wheter he could make a new lod file which contains antennas and a modified tail section similar to PeacePumas chilean F-16C. He made it for me, gave it a different color, so that i was able included it in the israeli bird. Finally i took Wilcos F-16 skin of the 115. Squadron, modded it a little bit.
All this parts i puzzeled together to have a israeli F-16C Barak. To say it clearly: I made only the finish, only approx. 1% of the job. The other 99% are made by Mirage Factory, TK, Alejandro and Wilco. And they did a great job!

SUEZ 2 TERRAIN Version 2.0
*************************
 
Suez 2 terrain is a version of my Israel2 terrain with the borders pre 1967 Six Days War and with enhanced tilesset. The main difference between Suez 2 and Suez terrain is, that Suez 2 is now sized nearly correct, while Suez terrain size was only 60% of real. The number of target areas is increased from 94 to 346. New areas with targets are the Golan heights and the Westbank.
In Suez 2 terrain you will find Lebanon as neutral contry, Syria is holding the Golan heights, Jordan is owner of the Westbank and Egypt rules the Sinai and the Gaza strip.
The SAM fence along the Suez Canal is not installed, because it was built between 1970 and 1972. Only some point defence SAM you will face over the Sinai, close to Kairo and near Beni Suef Airbase.
Suez2 terrain is more smooth than Israel2 terrain. If you want to have the same roughness like in Israel2 terrain simply copy files Israel2.hfd into Suez2 folder and rename it into Suez2.hfd.
 
***************************************
Suez 2 Terrain INSTALLATION instruction:
 
Unzip all files into your Terrain folder. Thats it.
 
***************************************

ISRAEL 2 Terrain version 2.0 23.Dezember 2006
=====================
 
Israel Terrain INSTALLATION instruction:
 
1.) unzip all files into your Strike Fighters folder
 
2.) If you use WOV open WOV folder and copy file Israel2.ini into Israel2 folder
 
3.) If you use WOE open WOE folder and copy file Israel2.ini into Israel2 folder
 
For WOE and WOE you must download a desert terrain tileset seperatly!
 
***************************************************
 
The first versions of Israel terrain for SFP1 were very successfull. They were downloaded in high numbers from C6, Combatace, Avsim and other sources, but i was never really satisfied with it. The reason was, that the size of Israel terrain was only 60% of reality.
With the new terrain editor tool TK offered to the community i was able to make a terrain that is nearly correct scaled. But i had to rebuild the terrain completly from the scratch.
 
As promised i release the new terrain now short before Christmas.
 
What is new?
 
*Completly new terrain with enlarged size. It covers now also Cyprus and Lebanon
*additional terraintiles (Canal, Mountainwoood)
*airfields with multiple runways
*new designed SAM fence along the Suez Canal
the SAM Complex west of the Bitter Lake (Osiris) i designed using a report about the big air to SAM battle in 1970 between the Israelis and the Egytians. So Osiris should be more or less historical correct. The positions of the other networkes (Ra, Isis, Sala Uhudin) are more or less fiction. I also reduced the number of SAM sites, as requested by some players.
*number of target areas is now 292 (212 in the preview, 128 in Israel v1.5)
* I include a smoothed terrain height data file in folder Israel2/Smooth. Personaly i prefer the more rough standard terrain, but if you like a smooth terrain copy file Israel2.hfd from folder Israel2/Smooth into Israel2 folder
* I included also updated Panzer files. The T-34,T-54,T-55,T-62 have now coaxial machineguns and their performance is now a little bit more real.
*The SAM Fence along the Suez Canal now consits only between 1970 - 1976. In 1977 the Egyptians changed their AD startegy from area defence to point defence.
 
 
I want to say thank you to all guys who supported Israel2 terrain with ideas, hints, files and good wishes. Thanks to Polak for the Pontons and the Pyramids, Gecko6 for the Coolingtowers, thanks to the guy who made the factory complex some years ago (I forgot his name) and of course TK for the terrain editor and the great SFP1 flight sim.
And finaly a big thank you to all unnamed and forgotten object and file makers.

New Airbases for SFP1 / WOE
v. 3.0
*************************
1: This is an update of version 2.0 to make the airfields compatible with the October 08 patch.
The other rason to make a new version is that Capun requested to remove his files from this mod. Thats pity, because his static aircrafts were a nice feature of my airfields.
 
****************************************
2. This is the release of the 10 new airbases for WOE.
The bases are:
GDR (East Germany) Drewitz
Holzdorf
Marxwalde
Preschen
Trollenhagen
Zerbst
FRG (West Germany) Ahlhorn
Büchel
Hopsten
Pferdsfeld
 
All bases i made by using satellite pictures to place the groundobjects to become a look that is similar to the original airbases.
 
 
***************************************
3. INSTALLATION instruction:
 
Be carefull! Backup of your _targets.ini and _types first!
 
1. Unzip all files into your Terrain/GermanyCE folder.
 
Thats all
*****************************************
4. A word to modders
In the folder "Airfields raw files" you find 10 txt files.
Each file containes the lines of one airbase. So it is easier for you to copy this unique airbases for use in other terrains target_data.ini file..
 
 
******************************************
5. Final words.
I want to say thank you to Enrico Gennari who made the runway, parking areas and taxiway files. I also want to say thank you to the unkown guy who made the basic file for the GFD-12 shelters which i have taken from EuroWW2 terrain.
 
*****************************************************
 
This airbases are freeware and are not allowed for commercial use.
 
I hope you enjoy it.

This pack contains 8 "generic" World War 2 era cockpits for use in WW2 installs.
 
Tested in Series2 ONLY, no idea about Gen1 compatibility!!! You have been warned!!!
 
Info:
 
"Generic" means these cockpits are somewhat similar to various real life ones, and are meant as replacement ones for aircrafts that by default have no custom, specific cockpits of their own. Rivet counters and/or WW2 experts please note that thesse cockpits do NOT represent any specific real-life models/variants, so if you seek for ultimate realism in modelling this pack is NOT for you.
 
These cockpits are as follows, with the planes I use them as a guide:
 
EARLY_WW2_COCKPIT_1 -for MartletII, Martlet III
EARLY_WW2_COCKPIT_2 -for Macchi202 and other, italian gauges
EARLY_WW2_COCKPIT_3 -british fighters
EARLY_WW2_COCKPIT_4 -FiatG50, open cockpit with italian gauges
 
MID_WW2_COCKPIT2 -generic, light fighter
MID_WW2_COCKPIT3 -P-39D, maaaybe some soviet fighter..?
 
Late_WW2_COCKPIT1 -P-47D, heavy ground attack aircraft, single engine bombers
LATE_WW2_COCKPIT2 -like above but with bubble canopy, for late models of Jug, other heavy fighters

Version 1.4
 
After a long periode of silence i thought, that BoB terrain was dead. BoB was forgotten. But then i found the BoB Campaign at www.combatace.com and it was a great campaign for my forgotten terrain. Then the campaign builders contacted me and this was the kickstart for me to improve BoB terrain again.
- I updated some terraintiles. Mostly the cities, the villages and the airfields.
-Then i invested some time in making target areas in France. You find now industrial targets in Paris and other french towns. Some new airfields i added and i made the Port of Brest.
- The Convoys are made by Steven for his BoB Campaign. I added them in my terrain too, after a very small modification.
- there are now 229 target areas, this are 65 more as in Version 1.3.
- german fighter bases (Fliegerhorst) also got a new face.
 
I tested the terrain as intensive as i could and found no bugs. If you find bugs, then please contact me via PM at SIMHQ Forum or at COMBATACE Forum.
 
Finally i want to say thank you to all guys who supported me in building this terrain with files and hints.

Battle of Britain terrain
 
contains the area of South England, the English Canal, the Canal Islands
 
and North France. It is the area where the famous Battle of Britain was

river
-65 new target areas mainly in France (airfields, factories etc)

I tested the terrain as intensive as i could and found no bugs. If you find
 
bugs, then please contact me via PM at SIMHQ Forum are at

Battle of Britain terrain for the 60th and 70th.
*********************************
 
This terrain is written for WOE, but should work properly with WOI,WOV and SFP1.
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
I. Short description:
 
I made this terrain as a more modern version of my BoB terrain for all guys who want to fight a Battle of Britain scenario with jets. Maybe that you want to fight a France vs UK campaign or a NATO vs WP scenario with France captured by the red side.
The terrain covers South England, the English Channel and Northern France.
The differences to the WW2 BoB terrains are:
1.You will face a SAM fence along the English Channel and a second which is protecting the capital.
2.You will see more modern airfields.
3. An increased number of target areas (274 instead 229)
4. Paris is completly reworked.
5. A french Railwaynetwork is set on the map.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
II. INSTALLATION:
 
Unzip all files into your Wings over Europe/terrain folder.
 
Thats it.
 
 
Q: What is to do to make it usable for WOI,WOV and SFP1?
 
For WOI open file Battle of Britain 60.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
with
CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
 
For WOV open file Battle of Britain 60.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat

Afghanistan Terrain version 1.0
========================
 
I. The word before:
 
AFGHANISTAN Terrain IS MADE FOR WINGS OVER ISRAEL (WOI) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it runs with SFP1,WOV and WOE too, but then it does not include all features!
 
***************************************
II. History:
 
From December 1979 till now Afghanistan is a land in war. Soviets, Dushmans, Mudjahedin, Warlords, Taliban and Americans (OEF) destroyed the once florish land nearly completly.
This terrain is dedicated to all man who fought in this country and to all who lost their lives in a senseless war.
 
*****************************************
III. The terrain:
 
Afghanistan terrain is now complete. It covers the areas around Kabul, Bagram, Jalalabad, Kunduz, Mazar i Sharif, Kandahar, Herat and Shindand. In comparision with Beta 0.75 i have again retiled some areas to include rivers and to make corrections. New target areas are set, especially around Herat and Shindand. I also included the airbase Shindand. It was the fisrt operational Su-25 base during soviet Afganistan war
You can fly and fight along the Jala Road and surrounding mountains, the Kandahar region and in the north eastern part of Afghanistan where today the German ISAF sector is situated. You will find enemy positions in the hills and valleys north of Bagram, but also single bandit troops on the soviet/allied hold lowlands. You will find friendly and enemy fortified hill positions
 
- number of set target areas: -215
- Missions which can be flown are CAS, Armed Recon, Recon, Strike,SEAD
-Air to air missions are impossible, because no taliban airfield is set (as historical correct)
 
-I recommend a seperate installation of WOI for Afghanistan terrain. The new nations.ini would otherwise make trouble with other terrains. (I set all nations = friendly, only Afghanistan= Enemy
So you can fly for the Soviets and the OEF troops( USA,UK,NL etc) against the same Enemy)
You can delete not needed planes (for instance Mirages) and groundobjects (SAM, Radar,most tanks etc) and you can include needed planes, like the Mi-24 or the A-10 more easily.
-Panzers, like T-54,55,62 etc should be redesignated from TANK to ARTILLERY in their groundobjects data.ini. The reason is, that Panzers are widely useless in such a mountainous land. With the groundobjects i have included in this package you will have infantry engagements which are more Afghan style
- Capun withdraw his permission to use his Mi-24D.lod and Mi-8T-Dest.lod file which were included in the Beta 0.6. Thatswhy you must download this files from Capuns site http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/
 
-IF you NOT HAVE WOI, you can use this terrain with SFP1,WOV or WOE too, but you must download the Afghanistan tileset from CombatAce download section. Some groundobjects, related with WOI will with other games not appear.
 
*******************************************
IV.
INSTALLATION:
 
-Unzip the file into your Wings over Israel
 
Thats it!
 
If you want then you can place mainscreen.bmp into your menu folder.
 
 
 
Q: What is to do to make it usable for WOE,WOV and SFP1?
 
For WOE open file Afghanistan.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
with
CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
 
For WOV open file Battle of Britain 70.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
with
CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat
 
For SFP1 open file Battle of Britain 70.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
with
CatFile=..\desert\Idesert.cat
 
 
After this step install Afghanistan tileset by following the Afghanistan tileset Read Me.
 
 
******************************************
V. Credits:
 
At this place i want to say thank you to Geo for his permission to use his SquadCent files which i modified into Taliban warriors etc. And to Wrench who allowed me to use Montys Stinger site which i modified into Blowpipe and Strela site. I want to say thank you to Pasko who made the lod file for the BTR-60 and 70 and the single soldier with SA-7 which i also use for RPG-7 and Mortar (recoilless gun.)
I want to say thank you to Rebel Ryder for the Taliban Dushka and the Toyota Hillux.
