IAI Nesher for SF2I
 
This package includes all known single seat Neshers of the IAF. The Nesher was in service from 1971 to 1981 in four different squadrons, three of them before and during the Yom Kippur War, in which the type was used with great success.
By the end of the Yom Kippur War Nesher 510 had shot down 13 enemy aircraft, equalising the record for the highest number of kills for a single Israeli plane, previously held by the Shahaks 58 and 59.
 
No. 101 First Fighter Squadron - 1971-1975
No. 113 Hornet Squadron - 1972-1976
No. 144 Arava Guardians Squadron - 1972-1978
No. 253 The Negev Squadron - 1976-1981
 
A note on the serial numbers: The historical correct serial numbers in this package include two digit numbers as well as three digit serial numbers. All Neshers were numbered at first with the two digit serial numbers,
but with the arrival of the two seater, the single seat model's serial numbers where changed to 5XX while the two seaters were numbered 6XX.
 
INSTALLATION:

East Africa/Madagascar Terrain, Version 2.0 for SF/Wo* and SF2
 
This is a complete rebuild of the terrain originaly released in June 2004. It has been extensively retiled, and has had a MAJOR upgrade in the targetization. It is designed to COMPLETELY replace that original version. It has been fully updated to use in the post-patch and SF2 worlds.
 
This is a COMPLETE package, with everything needed to just unzip, install, and fly over. All the tiles are included, including Stary's "Mad Trees Mod", creating a more 'lush' version. Many new TODs have been created, so you'll see lots of trees and small buildings in and around the cites.
 
Extensive upgrading has been performed on the targets, types, data and movement inis , to make use of 08 and SF2 level terrain effects, and the targeting enhancements. New planning maps of all 3 levels have been generated and included.
 
It is reccomended (read: REQUIRED) that you have Pasko's SAMs and Vehicles Pak installed in your GroundObject folder; either or both the Desert or Euro skinned vehicles, plus any additional vehicles such as Kesselbrut's ZIL truck pak, Infantry paks, Moonjumper's fix for the BM-14-16 (adds working Kytusha rockets) and any other SAMS or AAA, vehicles or whatever strikes your fancy.
 
It has been tested in all 1st Gen Sims (SF/WoV/WoE/ at 10/08 patch levels) and SF2 (merged).. It should work in FE & WoI (also post Expansion Pak and Post Patch) with the correct cat pointer -- this has NOT been tested, however. It should will work in SF2, as long as you adjust the cat pointer lines in the main ini, and 'reroute' the terrain effect pointer (more on that in the install instructions, below). However, with the old style terrain effects, it works just fine.
 
Yes, for those expecting it, there IS at least one Easter Egg on this terrain ...
 
MAKE SURE YOU THOROUGHLY READ THE README ON HOW TO USE IT IN ALL SIMS! or you will be clowned...big time.....

(Experimental) Thunderstorm weather mod
 
for SF2 series by Thirdwire
series 1 compatibility fix included
made in and tested with merged SF2+Expansion Pack1 may 2010

--------------------------------------
This little modification replaces default rain effect with heavy thunder.
Random lightnings, heavy rain, distant clouds lighted by electrical discarges and raindrops on screen are modelled.
Unfortunately, no thunder/rain sound attached, as current environment engine seems not to allow to do so.

Israeli Vipers Pt.1: No. 144 Arava Guardians Squadron (1994)
 
This skin pack is for Thirdwire's stock F-16A Netz and depicts the F-16A given to Israel under the Peace Marble IV (FMS) program as a reward for its restraint during the Gulf War.
Most of these aircraft were ex-ANG/AFRes aircraft that retained their USAF air superiority grey color scheme in Israeli service. They joined 144 Squadron at Hatzor AB,
making 144 the biggest fighter squadron in the IDFAF at that time. While at 144 Squadron, they underwent a series of upgrades, bringing them to the standard of the Netz already in service,
including the adaption of the standard Netz paint scheme.

This is a simple mod of the excellent Third Wire Hunter to give a flyable F.6 with markings for No.66, No.74, and No.247 squadrons of RAF Middle East Command based in Dhimar during the late 1950's and early 1960's. Whilst all three squadrons did actually operate the Hunter F.6 the markings are slightly 'generic' and the serial numbers are from the batch of cancelled F.6's.

This is a simple mod of the excellent Third Wire Hunter to give a flyable F.4 with markings for No.14, No.54, and No.247 squadrons of RAF Middle East Command based in Dhimar during the late 1950's. Whilst all three squadrons did actually operate the Hunter F.4 the markings are slightly 'generic' and the serial numbers are actually from a batch of cancelled Venoms from that era.

This is a simple mod of the excellent Third Wire Hunter to give a flyable F.5 with markings for No.34 and No.56 squadrons of RAF Middle East Command based in Dhimar during the mid to late 1950's.
 
Whilst both squadrons did actually operate the Hunter F.5 the markings for No.56 squadron are slightly 'generic' but the serial numbers are genuine enough. Two extra No.34 decals are included (34Patch and 34RoundelBars) if you prefer that squadron to have the same look as No.56 squadron and/or for you to use elsewhere.

Here is the AMx-13 in a "hi-res" (1024X1024) skin.
 
Often called Israel's "first modern tank", also used by the French 7th Division at Suez.
 
 
Model I believe made by Pasko (?) years ago. Low poly with weird mapping, I have done the best I can with it.
 
Drop the contents of the AMX-13 folder in the GroundObject folder in your Mod directory.
 
Also includes an A2G mission (place in your Missions folder in your Mod directory) to see the AMX easily.

SAM System "Roland Rad"
-----------------------
 
This model shows the air defence system "Roland Rad" as used by the german air force till 2005.
It is in fact the same weapon system as the "Marder Roland" allready availlable, but the Luftwaffe version is mounted on a 8x8 truck.

- Drop the folder "RolandRad" into your "Groundobject" folder
- Drop the folder "Roland2" into your "Weapons" folder, you might allready have this missile from the "Marder Roland" Mod or a weapons pack!
- I use this in SF2 Europe, but it should work with all other Generation 2 Games also!

Version 2.2
 
The weapon editor for SF2 did not like the naming convention for the F-35 drop tanks. So I changed the names, edited the data.inis and now they are fixed. Also there is an avionics fix in there that goes in each versions folder as well.
 
Delete the old drop tanks in your SF2 weapons folder and drop these in. Then drop the data.inis and the avionics.inis in each version of the F-35 and overwrite.
 
F-35C sound fixed.

This mod is a quick fix to revise the default camouflage skin to have the early tail codes.
I have used the stock silver skin tail numbers and added the "USAF" above them using a stock Third Wire "USAF" decal.
I have included an Excel spreadsheet listing the tailnumbers included and documenting as much as I know about that tail number.
I have also inlcuded jpg files from the internet that show what quite a few of them really looked like.
There are three basic variations: all white, black "USAF" with white number, and all black.
 
This is a completely separate skin so it does not overwrite any of the stock skins.
It is a copy of the default camo skin with ini edits to use the new tail codes.
 
To install this, simply copy the "Objects" folder extracted from this download to the "Objects" folder of the desired install's mod folder.
This pastes in the new skin for the F-105D and F-105D_66 as well as a new folder for the F-105 tail number decals.
 
This mod may be used by anyone to do anything as long as it does not involve payware.
The base decals were stock Third Wire decals, so they definitely should not end up being reused in any form of payware.

15 April 2010
 
Update for SF2:War For Israel Campaign Mod. Works with Dec 2010 Patch Only.
 
V1.0F update
You do not need this if you Downloaded the v1.0F

This will be a Cumulative Patch from here on.
Hopefully only to enhance rather than to Fix.
 
v1.0b:
Fixed the Mig-21MF Skin Directory name.
 
Fixed some weapons so that FireEffect shows up in
new version of SF2 series.
 
Changed Mig-29C Syrian skin for EricJ's "Syrian
MiG-29C Desert Splinter skin" to reflect campaign
region. Nice Skin.
 
Updated the TextureSet.ini for the German Mig-29C.
And Changed the Pilot in the MIG-29C_DATA.ini.
 
Changed The F-15D data ini Nation to ISRAEL. I know
these would be F-15I's but it's to long to Explain.
 
Steam and wake effects for Carrier should work.
 
v1.0F:
This is a cumulative patch with 1.0b integrated.
Added the Squadronlist to the PilotData dir as required.
Added Groundobjects not showing up.
Added effects to *data.ini's for aircraft.
Added and replaced some aircraft skins.
Added Flyable Israeli-U.S. F-16A Netz USAF 2nd Eagle Squadron to Campaign.
This was already in the campaign, but not flyable before.
tweaked enemy squadron count a little but still a busy Campaign.
Fixed F-16I Sufa NoJettisionTank so external Tanks eject.
Added missing Mig-21 engine sounds.
Several F-15 fixes.
Several A-10A fixes.
 
Install:
 
Delete the "Mig-21MF" Folder and all the "F-15s" Folders in the Mod "Aircraft"
 
Folder. Delete all the *.bmp's in the Campaign Mod Folder if using Original
 
1.0 Campaign or the 1.0b update Download. Drop the Folders from the Update
