Version 1 - 27/03/16

This is my version of Kfir C.7 that was left in my folder untouched since 10/2015, believing it would have been included -at least part of it - in Denis Oliveira next release.
 
I did a similar treatment to Kfir as I did with other releases (e.g. F-8 & F-16), in Data and loadout.inis, as well as created a '89 version. It has a small problem that will be fixed in a later date,
 
so for now is v0.9

So the FM is finally corrected, the empty weights are now correct, as well as many minor other changes in order to make ir more realistic.
 
Don't be fooled, I did A LOT of research and a lot of BETA testing. When I had no definite data, I calculated, so some data are estimations.
 
For proving my point, I include a 4vs4 mission, Turkish F-16D Block 50+ (the heaviest Viper in service) against USAF aggressors.
 
Why v0.9? There are some planes missing. These are TW planes, as well as israeli -A models, egyptian, jordanian, UAE, thai, indonesian & singaporian planes.
 
EDIT:
 
As it turned out, these should be released in a vol.2
 
Requests:
 
I hope someone would make hi-res skins for all these nations mentioned above as well for the early -A models of the four european nations.
 
Also a proper lod for the taiwanese block 20.
 

Logfile changes
 
-------
 
v1.0
 
- Added the fabulous F-16A ADF AMI of dtmdragon, deleted the old F-16A AMI
 
- The mission now is on more even terms, both F-16s have now the same loadout.
 
-------
 
v2.0
 
- Added the following planes
 
F-16A_Blk10-EAF
F-16A_Blk10-IDF
F-16A_Netz_87
F-16B_Blk15-NDC
F-16B_Netz_87
 
- Now these planes are complete
 
F-16C_B40_egy
F-16C_B52+_egy
F-16D_B30
F-16D_B30_agr
F-16D_B30_gk
F-16D_B52+_egy
 
The Egyptian block 40 is based on the Turkish one, the block 52+ on the Polish.
 
- Reworked DATA.INI for ALL planes. Mostly, but not only, reworked engine and weight data.
 
- Four new missions are added. F-16 vs F-16, these missions are indeed very exciting.
 
Known issues: The F-16D block 30 skins should be tweaked a bit to represent a 100% proper -D block 30 skin.

The egyptian skin - mohand777
 
The F110 engine sound, I was not able to trace. Pls PM for any feedback to give proper credit.
 

A v3.0 will come up, but not anytime soon that will include the above mentioned "jordanian, UAE, thai, indonesian & singaporian planes", hopefully even more than that.
 
------
 
Request: MORE Hi-rez skins!!!!

This is a total rework of loadout and data.ini of ALL F-8s.
 
These include all TMF, TW and YAP models. You will find them inside three separate folders.
 
I tried to be as realistic as possible regarding performance figures, empty weights etc. Please give me feedback about the results, what do you think about.

without you the update would not have been possible.
 
if some credits are wrong and/or missing, please send me a PM.
 
REQUESTS:
 
- More hi-rez skins for all three families, like these in the screenshots. As you can see, in both TW and TMF the hi-rez are a real improvement. Skins for the RF-8G, especially late low-viz, will be vert much appreciated.
 
- A proper cockpit as both TMF and TW look really dated now.
 
- Proper ejection seats (better than before, but still not 100% accurate)
 
Enjoy!!
 
Note: TW models include DLC also.

McDonnell Douglas Eagle F.1 - RAF ('what if')
 
 
 
With delays in the Tornado ADV program the RAF desperately needs to replace its aging and out classed air defense Phantom and Lightning squadrons. As a stop gap measure the RAF lease squadrons of F-15A Eagles from the USAF. They are modified to fire Skyflash missiles and given the name 'Eagle F.1' in RAF service.
 
Mod uses stock TW RAF F-4M decals for squadron markings so you can select other squadrons.
