--------------------------------------
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.

Thanks to USAFMTL for betatesting.

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.
 
 
-This file is FREEWARE . Feel free to use this mod for any
future projects as long as proper credit is given..
