Replaces No.14 Squadron (flying Hunters) in the Red Thunder 1962 campaign for WoE, with No. 11 Squadron flying the Lightning F.Mk.6.
For all those English Electric rocketeers out there, here is the rocket with wings, flying and fighting against the might of the Warsaw Pact. Hold on to your hats!
This is updated version of Battle over Europe with Matra 550 magic in MirageIIIC default loadout instead of outdated AIM-9B, and with R-530IR in pool. I prefer this version.

A campaign that uses the Germany CE map and uses the modern aircraft, carriers, and ground army available for Wings over Europe.
Beta 2 adds aircraft carriers, some new aircraft, some updated loadouts, Guided NUKE's and lots of fun. Please use README for intructions.
Any questions, or suggestions? You can find me at the only active thread for Final Dawn.

This expands the 1979 Red Lightning campaign to include:
1.) SPECAT Jaguar for the RAF; you'll need the addon.
2.) F-111A Aardvark for the USAAF You'll need the F-111A Pack. Sadly, the default german map doesn't extend to england, which is where the F-111A was based, so it's not totally realistic.
2.) Adds the VVS, with MiG-23M, MiG-27, MiG-21MF, and Su-7BM
3.) Adds the East German AF, two units, MiG-21MF and Su-7BM
4.) Adds the Polish AF, two units, MiG-21MF and Su-7BM
5.) Adds a description of what plane each squadron flies, no more guessing!
I thought about adding carrier operations, but the map was too limited for a carrier, and secondly, the USN in WW3 would be involved with keeping the sea lanes open, and battling the soviets in Norway, to worry about the central front.
This upload contains a variety of missions I've written to make use of the Da Nang enhancements I've done for WOV. I use RAF aircraft and/or skins, but simply changes to the .msn files can change the details to your preferred country of choice.
The missions included are as follows:
1. RAF Fmk6 R-Base.msn - Lightning F.mk6 free flight parked on Da Nang ramp with 5 and 11 squadrons parked up along side your starting position.
2. RAF Fmk6 NR-QRA.msn - Lightning night QRA mission from the QRA sheds I added at the North end of Da Nang airfield. Intercept a Badger bomber coming in from the North East. If you have time try to find and rendezvous with the A310 MRTT tanker before turning for home. BTW, be careful near that Badger, he likes to shoot!
3. RAF Fmk6 PR-Tanker.msn - Flight of two Lightnings. Take off and practice tanking with the MRTT circling near Yankee Station.
4. RAF F4 NR-Base.msn - Similar to Lightning free flight mission above but with an F4 Phantom and at night.
5. RAF F4 PR-Tanker.msn - Similar to the pairs Lightning tanking exercise but again with F4 Phantoms
I've also included my Da Nang airfield Terrain/VietnamSEA enhancements in this post to make it simpler to install the QRA sheds, ground objects and extra lights I use.
[Extras Required]
These missions make use of the static aircraft I devised to populate the ramp at Da Nang. All these statics are now up at CombatAce in the Object Mods section (search on comrpnt or static).
For example, here http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=2929
For the lightning I use, try here http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...mp;showfile=736
For the C-130J I use try here http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=1703
You'll also need a tanker. I use the A310 MRTT with Gramps' RAAF skin, found at www.AvSim.com (search on MRTT). You could easily use the excellent YAP KC-135 if you want, it works just as well.
Finally, for someone to Intercept I used the Badger-A, found here http://www.column5.us/aircraft3.shtml
Hope you like flying these missions. Good luck. ;-)
Cheers, regards, P.T. (comrpnt) :-)

If I have missed anyone, let me know and I will fix it ASAP.
The aircraft and other objects included in this pack are the property of their respective creators and are released as FREEWARE only. No objects in this pack may be included in PAYWARE products without permission of the owners.
I finally fully figured out the whole node thing. I redid the attack nodes, and they now work like the game intended. I also added several squadrons of MIG-29OVT's, until someone creates a SU-27 or SU-30MK. Again, thanks to the hard work from those mentioned in the readme. Enjoy.

Here is my Flying Tigers campaign, that I have been messing around with from time to time. It is fun to play! More changes to come. Read the readme! I have to give a big thanks to all those mentioned in the readme, for their hard work to make this happen. Enjoy!
I had to include a China ini file and a new readme.

Yes the long awaited update to OTC is here. It comes in 2 files, the aircraft and then the rest. You must have both. Please read the README. You must do a separate install of SF and or WOE to run this. The original version had over 2300 downloads. My thanks to everyone who had a hand in this. Many thanks to JSF Aggie and Deuces for their overtime on this.

Burning Sands 1944 v1.0
A fictional WW2 Campaign for Strike Fighters Project One
by baltika
*****************************************************************************************************************************
This is a mod of the stock Burning Sands campaign to take advantage of the many excellent WW2 MTO planes and skins which have been produced by individuals more talented than me. It is entirely fictional.
Please note that this download includes the campaign files only. 3rd party planes, skins and ground objects, and a couple of other essential mods, will require separate download. Full list below. But let's face it, if you're reading this you've already got them all anyway. Hell, you've probably got a dedicated MTO install you can drop this right into.
My thanks to all devs and modders whose work has inspired this campaign. See Credits.

CAMPAIGN CONTENT:
FLYABLE SQUADRONS:-
RAF
213 Sqdn RAF - Hurricane 2C
601 Sqdn RAF - Spitfire 5BL
252 Sqdn RAF - Beaufighter Mk1
274 Sqdn RAF - Hurricane 2D
145 Sqdn RAF - Spitfire 8C

I./SchG2 Hs129B3
I./StG2 Ju 87B (Stuka)
I./JG300 FW-190A-8/R2 (Wurger)
DESERT TERRAIN CHANGES:-
-No more concrete runways. All airfields replaced with the desert airstrip, for a more WW2 look.
-Desert airstrip re-classified as MEDIUM_RUNWAY to allow some of the bigger birds to take off.
-Sam sites, radars, trucks and so on replaced with WW2 equivalents. But ground object placement is a frustrating and time-consuming business so more work is required here. For now, all AAA sites are active in 1944, and most of the airstrips will have a few WW2 vehicles around, including mobile AA units which will fire at you if you get low enough. You have been warned!
USER INTERFACE:-
-Squadron specific intro, victory and defeat screens to add atmosphere.
Please see Credits section for a full list of the modders whose work is featured in these screenshots. Thanks to everyone involved. If your name has been omitted, it is in error and I apologise. Please contact me and I will rectify the situation.
*****************************************************************************************************************************
* * * HEALTH WARNING * * *
INSTALLATION OF THIS MOD WILL OVERWRITE THE FOLLOWING FILES, WHICH WILL BREAK THE STOCK BURNING SANDS CAMPAIGN AND ANY OTHER MODS WHICH RELY ON THESE FILES. BACKUP THESE FILES BEFORE INSTALLATION SO YOU CAN RESTORE THEM IF NECESSARY.
Strike Fighters/PilotData/SquadronList.ini
Strike Fighters/Terrain/Desert/DESERT_NATIONS.INI
Strike Fighters/Terrain/Desert/DESERT_TARGETS.INI
Strike Fighters/Terrain/Desert/DESERT_TYPES.INI
AGAIN, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! BACKUP THOSE FILES!
Or, make a fresh install to run this campaign. Having a dedicated MTO install will probably make life easier. If you have that, you're not going to use it to run stock Burning Sands anyway.
Those of you who know what you are doing can copy my squadron list on to the end of the existing squadron list, if you already have a modded SquadronList.ini. You will have to renumber the squadrons.
I have simply added more (WW2) target types onto the end of those listed in DESERT_TYPES.INI, so that shouldn't cause any problem at all.

If you don't have the BoB terrain, this is your excuse to download it from combatace. Otherwise AA fire is going to be thin on the ground in this campaign.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install Strike Fighters Project One
2. Patch up to v 083006
3. Install the latest weapons pack.
4. Delete all stock aircraft
5. Install the aircraft, skins and ground objects listed above. For detailed instructions on how to do this, see the readme file for each individual item. For the AA units from the BoB terrain, simply copy their folders from the SFP1/Objects/Groundobject folder to the the same folder of your new install.
6. Install Charles' WW2 formations mod.
7. Copy the Burning Sands 1944 mod files to the relevant folder of your new install. The simplest thing is to retain the file structure and copy the unpacked files over. Items in the Campaigns, Menu, Objects, PilotData and Terrain folders go into those same folders in your new install. When asked to overwrite existing files, say "Yes" each time. YOU DID BACK UP THOSE FILES LISTED ABOVE, DIDN'T YOU?
8. That's it. Burning Sands 1944 should now be available at the campaign menu. Happy hunting!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
KNOWN ISSUES
1. Some of the third party planes use the "_" character in the name of their install folder when unzipped, e.g. Bf_110E, He_111H6, Me_262A, P_40E. For some reason, my set up refuses to recognise those planes as installed when that character is present. I have all those planes installed in the following format: Strike Fighters/Objects/Aircraft/Bf-110E, Strike Fighters/Objects/Aircraft/He-111H6 and so on (Me-262A, P-40E). I have used that format in the BS1944_data.ini file, so if you find that the campaign does not allow you to select those planes, check that you have installed those planes with the same naming format. If they are different, either change each air unit entry in the BS1944_data.ini file to match the install folder for each plane, or change the name of the plane's install folder to the format used in the BS1944_data.ini file.
2. WOLF257's planes are not currently available for download. If you don't have them, use the alternative BS1944_data.ini file provided.
3. Skins. I have used the "DefaultTexture=" flag for each unit (in the BS1944_data.ini file) to try to ensure all planes use the appropriate MTO skin. Sometimes planes still show up in ETO skins. I have no idea why. If you are having skin problems, check that the "DefaultTexture=" for each squadron specifies the skin folder in the aircraft folder correctly. Or you could create a specific MTO install where the only skin in each plane's folder is an MTO skin - hint, hint. Otherwise, answers on a postcard to. . .
4. Loadouts. If you are having trouble saddling up with the appropriate tank-busting gear or whatever, check that the "AttachmentType=" flag in the Weapon Stations section of the appropriate aircraft_DATA.ini file is specified properly. Bunyap's site has updated DATA.ini files for many aircraft so they work with the latest weapons pack. Or just set it like this, "AttachmentType=UK,USAF,USN" (without the quotes) for the Allies and all will be well. Purists run screaming for the hills at this point. For Luftwaffe the setting is "AttachmentType=Nazi Germany" On the subject of loadouts, if (like me) you want to fly CAS campaign missions in the Hurri 2C (and what else would you do with a wingful of rockets?), go to the Strike Fighters/Objects/Aircraft/Hurricane2C/Hurricane2C_DATA.ini file, and add CAS to the "PrimaryRoles=" flag under [MissionData] near the top of the file. My apologies to the A-team. My excuse is that this is a fictional campaign.
5. I know that the RAAF squadron has to be selected from the RAF list. My apologies to our Australian cousins. Apparently the current build of the campaign engine has trouble with the ground war if more than two forces are defined. Take solace in the fact that the Poms can't cope without you.
6. If you have any other problems, questions, suggestions or constructive criticism, I can be contacted at Combatace, SimHQ, column5.us and the Thirdwire forums. I can't promise to solve your issue, but talking helps.
7. Now, if only someone would make an MTO skin for the Hawker Typhoon. . . ;-)
Cheers,
baltika

CREDITS
This campaign is my way of saying thanks to all the modders who have created so many great WW2 planes to enhance the community's enjoyment of this great series of sims. Without all their hard work in producing a wealth of additional planes, skins, ground objects, terrains, weather mods, and all the rest, this mod would, quite simply, not exist. My thanks to all concerned, and indeed the wider SFP1/WOV/WOE/FE community in general who have provided so much information about how this whole bag of nuts and bolts works.
And, of course, thanks to TK and Thirdwire for creating SFP1/WOV/WOE/FE in the first place.
I have included a number of screenshots which feature the work of various devs and modders, and I would like to thank them for their contribution:-
The SFP1 Dev A-team (Capun, Gramps, Charles, Kesselbrut and The Wrench) - Planes and skins too numerous to mention. 12 out of the 16 aircraft featured in this campaign.
The Wrench (Kevin Stein) - Skins (see full list above) & inspiration. Kevin kicked this off with his Cold War Gone Hot: 1946 suggestion.
Pasko - Stuka Ju 87B (Skins by Gramps)
Polak - WW2 Ground objects, Sky mod
WOLF257 - Bf-109G10 and Fw190
Deuces - weapons, effects
Kesselbrut/Geo - WW2 Ground objects
Cellinsky - Weather Mod
Thanks to everyone. If your work is featured and I have not credited you, please accept my apology. Let me know & I will add you to the list.
Happy Hunting,
baltika

* * * HEALTH WARNING * * *
INSTALLATION OF THIS MOD WILL OVERWRITE THE FOLLOWING FILES, WHICH WILL BREAK THE STOCK INSTALL AND ANY OTHER MODS WHICH RELY ON THESE FILES. BACKUP THESE FILES BEFORE INSTALLATION SO YOU CAN RESTORE THEM IF NECESSARY.

********************************************************************************************
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install SFP1/WoV/WoE
(For WoV & WoE follow Wrench's instructions to create an era-specific install - see KB at combatace)
2. Patch up to v 083006
3. Delete all stock aircraft
4. Install the DAT aircraft listed above
5. Install Wrench's WW2 wep pak.
6. Install Gepard's BoB terrain v1.4. For detailed instructions on how to do this, see the readme file for the terrain.
7. Copy the Battle of Britain campaign mod files to the relevant folder of your new install. The simplest thing is to retain the file structure and copy the unpacked files over. Items in the Campaigns, Flight, Menu, Missions, Objects and Objects/Aircraft, PilotData, Sounds and Terrain folders go into those same folders in your new install. The options.ini file goes into your main Strike Fighters folder. When asked to overwrite existing files, say "Yes" each time. YOU DID BACK UP THOSE FILES LISTED ABOVE, DIDN'T YOU?
8. Copy the file Hurricane-R10D.LOD from the Hurricane1 folder into the Hurricane2A folder.
9. Copy all the Spitfire .LOD files from the Spitfire1A folder into the Spitfire2A folder.
10. That's it. Battle of Britain should now be available at the campaign menu. Happy hunting!
********************************************************************************************
KNOWN ISSUES:-
1. Finally sorted out the "random movement of air units" bug. That was the main problem which meant this campaign was a beta release. You should now see a lot more air activity on both sides.
2. Victory conditions.
"Winning" a campaign depends on your Force capturing the enemy Base node. So the best the RAF can hope for is a lose or a stall. No invasion of Fortress Europe in 1940! As for the Luftwaffe, well. . .
3. The RAF fly a lot of intercept missions, and they're hard. Good luck! Use high energy boom and zoom attacks, or frontal attacks for best results. Try to keep your wingies alive. Remember this is a war of attrition, so kills matter. Ignore Bitchin' Betty when she tells you to RTB, mission failed. Finish off those bombers!
As an extra hint, the campaign engine does not fix intercept waypoints very efficiently. If you rely on them, you will not intercept bomber formations until they are on top of their target - by which time it's too late. Use planning map to move your waypoints to show the most direct route between waypoint 2 and your objective point. Then use Red Crown to give you the best vector to your target. Intercept those bombers while they are still out there!
4. In order to make the phased campaign work properly, I have brought forward the front-line operational dates of certain squadrons (303, 310, 603 and 1 RCAF) to the start of July 1940. This is clearly non-historical. However, having later start dates meant that the timings of the phased campaign were thrown out of kilter, so I chose this as the lesser of two evils.

5. Then install this quick update.
Enjoy!
MK2
I include the original Vietnam 1984 description below:
Vietnam 1984:
The Vietnam War ended in a stalemate a decade ago. North Vietnam has taken the opportunity, of the prolonged cease fire, to build up its ground and air forces.
The Soviet Union has recently taken an active role in mobilizing fighter regiments for the VPAF and the potential of the Soviet union adding actual ground troops to the area is now a reality.
The uneasy temporary peace comes to an end. The Reagan administration Withdraws the United States from the decade long diplomatic process. On December 18th 1984 the coalition starts a 2 week air offensive against North Vietnamese targets.
To install the mod simply place the folders that are inside the zip file in your WOV directory and say yes to overwrite the files.
This Vietnam 1984 campaign mod requires a separate install of WOV. It Includes over 20 different flyable planes and units for the following (proper skins included when possible):
USAF
94th TFS 'Hat in the Ring' F-15C
53rd TFS 'NATO Tigers' F-15C
4th TFS 'Fightin' Fujins'F-16A
34th TFS 'Fighting Rams' F-16A
561st TFS 'Wild Weasels' F-4E
77th TFS 'Gamblers' F-111F

1/925th "Lam Son"FR Mig-19 (IRM)
1/923rd "Yen The"FR Mig-17F
This campaign was tested using NORMAL settings for campaign difficulty. Single misisons should work but all of them are not guaranteed as the campaign is what has been tested.
***Changes from V1.0***
-AVG Squadrons now start with the P-40B
-3 Ki-21 squadrons added
-Less A6Ms at start of campaign
-base screens added
-More ground action

OMT v1.2
Included the updated terrain MOVEMENT.INI file which controls the frontline.
24 November 2008
****************************************************************
Operation Mountain Twilight v 1.1
by baltika
Revision Date: 23 November 2008
*****************************************************************
This is an update of my original OMT campaign to work with Wrench's 4 seasons re-release of Majorlee's American North West Terrain. This has exactly the same planeset and installation requirements as the original campaign, so please see the v1.0 readme for all the aircraft and groundobjects you will require to install.
Obviously, you should use Wrench's updated ANW terrain build, not any previous ANW release. Here's the link:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=7615
Thanks to MajorLee for the original terrain, Wrench for his upgrades, and Deuces, Doghouse and Brain32 for the additional tilesets. If I have missed anyone out, please let me know and I will add them in.
*************************************************************
What's new:
1. I have added 25+ new target areas to Wrench's original Target List. There are a number of new target areas based on Wrench's existing ones, but all of Wrench's updated targets are in there, so you do not lose anything from the updated terrain. I have also included Doghouse's SAM sites mod, with his permission, so thanks for that, Doghouse. You will find that flying down those canyons becomes a necessity, not a joyride, once the SAM sites go online!
2. I have substantially re-worked the strategic nodes based on the new Target List.
3. Due to changes introduced by the Oct 08 patches, I have had to split the campaign files into separate campaigns for Red and Blue side flyable. If you want to fly the campaign for the Global Sedition, select "OMT: Red" from the campaign selection menu. I have reduced the GS ground unit strength in the Red-Side campaign to make it less of a cakewalk for GS pilots. Blue Side campaign is still a tough nut to crack ;-)
4. There are a number of alternative Win/Lose screens included in the d/l pack. These used to be called out for individual squadrons, but that seems not to work under Oct 08 patch. So, the default Win/Lose screen is called out from the main campaign_DATA.ini file. You can change the settings to select alternative Win/Lose screens if you wish, just edit the name of the screenshot called out.
5. I have also included ext's RCAF Vampire skin, as I can't track down the d/l link. Thanks to ext for the nice skin, cheers mate ;-)
*************************************************************
INSTALLATION:
I have packaged the files up so it should be obvious where everything has to go.
Install the terrain and planeset first.
Unzip the d/l package to a temporary folder, then copy the unzipped files across. When asked to over-write, say yes.
You must use the included AmericaNW_targets.ini, AmericaNW_Movement.ini and AmericaNW_types.ini, or the campaign will not work properly.
You will have to copy the content of the "Add to SquadronList" folder to your existing SQUADRONLIST.INI, renumbering as the next in sequence.
There should be no problem with dropping the new campaign files into an existing OMT campaign install, just over-write when prompted.
*************************************************************
HEALTH WARNING
As ever, back up any modded files before you overwrite them - it's easier to restore your originals that way ;-)
Most of the required planes are older mods, which may or may not work properly in the latest round of patches. Try flying in normal mode if you are having serious trouble with a particular plane. I haven't yet experienced any huge issues, but your mileage may vary.
Any problems, questions, comments, etc, drop me a line at combatace.
Happy Hunting to one and all,
Baltika

Out of Africa 3 v1.5
Migs VS Migs nd SU and Yak in Air-Sea Environment
UPDATE.
I changed the su-27 with FC's SU-33. It is too great to be left out.
PLEASE follow carefully the mod instructions.
IT does work.
Loadouts and data.ini for the Su-33sim has been revised a little. I think there was the tailhook missing.
I chose Drdoyo's SovNavy_4 skin it blends perfectly with the new canards.
Campaing has been revised in order for both sides to NOT receive airplanes replace. You have to use what you get.
I also changed the friendly-nation with a fictional aslan nation. I needed it because of the pilottrainingstandars set to POOR. this nation entry is needed only for campaign purposes in oder to have mig VS mig and have the loadout shows. I actually don't even know if this is the correct procedure but it works.

KNOWN ISSUES and NEEDED EXPERIMENTS -revised-
the campaign needs polishing; basescreens, a better read me, squadron.txt, etc etc;
IF SOMEONE FEELS LIKE DOING THEM AND RECONTACTING ME THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
REALLY REALLY great
There is room for more little campaigns in the future middle age. And I would like to create some atmosphere.
I ve set the weapon resuppy at day 1; so that you will have immediately all the soviet weapons, AA and AG.
PLEASE experiment with various AA and AG weapons especially missiles, since I am less than happy with probabilities of kill of even advanced weapons such as R-77 and Kh-29T missiles.
I modified my weapondata according threads on combatace, and tuned down mig-23mld internal ECM strenght from 15 to 5. Those changes are NOT included in the campaign files I am providing, but please experiment.
With this changed thoguh the whole air to air war is a little more realistic according to me. I have now a 40-50% hits with AA missiles.
And it is challenging. FUEL IS an issue. You aìhave to decide wheter engage and pursue, but will you make it back to the carrier?
Anyway as it is the campaign is fun to play. I changed also all the cockpits of SOVIET planes to the one of the su-27.
IMPORTANT NOTE
In order to have working anti-ship missions you need to have the some ships labeled as generic and cargo_ship in their data ini.
Every Ship so labeled will be thrown randomly in the shipping lanes; for the campaign I suggest you have the tanker and cargo ship and the yavuz frigate only
IMPORTANT NOTE number two
make sure that in your weaponpack ALL the weapon listed in loadouts are available for the year 2004; other than that don't touch provided datas and loadouts, everything should go well
thirdnote
The tu-16G is optional; it is nice to experiment with. Sometimes in antiship mission you get tasked antiship and they will cover you with long range ARMS such as KSR-11
Would be nice to have them go on anti-ship mission, but I have not seen yet AI-assigned anti-ship missions

In a parallel universe, in 2004 things, went worse than in ours. World reduced to famine. Corruption, decay, starvation for food and energy. A new technological middle age.
And in middle age there are mercenaries.
In this story, ex-soviet union mercenaries
The fleet of the former Soviet might navy, led by Carrier Gorshokov.
The business is easy. Mtumba, leader, warlord of poor african state, is at war with Dictator of Madagascar Gorondi who is supplying his rebels. Both of them are evil and bloody dictators, but Mtumba pays well.
Ships sail to the shore of africa from madagascar. They must be stopped, and this is the bussiness.
Gorshokov task force, with two old kynda cruisers, and refueller takes place at Rasputin station.
On board, Su-33s and Mig-29OVT modified for naval and multirole operations, and Yak41.
They will hit the shipping lanes and, possibly madagascar airports and comm buildings.
Gorondo has good weapons himself. Mig-29A and Mig23MLD to patrol the skies and perhaps attack the carrier herself.
War at sea begins. A little meaningless fight in the future middleage.
I hate writing readmes

*Version 1.1*
This update lowers the intensity level from Version 1.0. Only enemy squadrons located nearest the border will be assigned missions. Supply has also been reduced for friendly and enemy squadrons. As a result, fewer enemy aircraft should appear in the air, better reflecting the limited nature of the historical conflict. Make no mistake, occasionally the campaign engine will generate large aerial engagements; this is historical, as well.
*The Campaign*
This campaign depicts intermittent border clashes that flared between Israel, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt from 1963 through 1967. These disputes began with disagreements over water rights in the region, slowly escalating into the Six Day War. Based on the stock WOI Six Day War campaign, “War for the Water” begins in August 1963 and ends in May 1967.
Think of this campaign as a short prelude to the Six Day War. There will be no all-out air offensive; “War for the Water” is a limited conflict. You will face Syrian and Jordanian aircraft in and around the Golan Heights. There might be encounters with Egyptian aircraft near the Sinai Peninsula, as well. Ground offensive has been disabled, so borders remain static. Supply is minimal, restricting the number of aircraft in the sky.
Mission mix includes routine patrols punctuated by occasional armed recon missions into enemy territory. You may fly a maximum of twelve missions, roughly one every hundred and twenty days. Played in sequence with the stock WOI campaigns, and combined with “Attrition War” and “Golan Stalemate,” the player can begin in 1963 and fly a continuous nineteen-year IAF career.

*The Campaign*
This campaign depicts rising tensions between Israel and Syria from 1974 through 1982. Based on the stock WOI Lebanon War campaign, it begins in April 1974 and ends in May 1982. Played in sequence with the stock WOI campaigns, “Golan Stalemate” allows for a continuous career from the start of the Yom Kippur War to the end of the Lebanon War. When combined with “Attrition War” and "War for the Water," the player can begin in 1963 and fly a continuous nineteen-year IAF career.
There will be no all-out air offensive; “Golan Stalemate” is a long, limited conflict. You will face Syrian aircraft in and around the Golan Heights and Lebanon. Ground offensive has been disabled, so borders remain static. Supply is minimal, restricting the number of aircraft in the sky. Mission mix includes routine patrols punctuated by occasional strike missions into enemy territory. You may fly a maximum of thirty-six missions, roughly one every ninety days.
IAF fighter and strike squadrons start out with their historical aircraft, entering the campaign at the time they were activated. Some squadrons will upgrade both their livery and their aircraft type during the course of the campaign.

Paul "COMRPNT" Taylor did some very good campaign start and end textfiles I forgot to add tem into the pack
... here they are.
Replaces No.14 Squadron (flying Hunters) in the Red Thunder 1962 campaign for WoE, with No. 11 Squadron flying the Lightning F.Mk.6.
A campaign that uses the Germany CE map and uses the modern aircraft, carriers, and ground army available for Wings over Europe.
I finally fully figured out the whole node thing. I redid the attack nodes, and they now work like the game intended. I also added several squadrons of MIG-29OVT's, until someone creates a SU-27 or SU-30MK. Again, thanks to the hard work from those mentioned in the readme. Enjoy.
Here is my Flying Tigers campaign, that I have been messing around with from time to time. It is fun to play! More changes to come. Read the readme! I have to give a big thanks to all those mentioned in the readme, for their hard work to make this happen. Enjoy!
Yes the long awaited update to OTC is here. It comes in 2 files, the aircraft and then the rest. You must have both. Please read the README. You must do a separate install of SF and or WOE to run this. The original version had over 2300 downloads. My thanks to everyone who had a hand in this. Many thanks to JSF Aggie and Deuces for their overtime on this.
