A. DESCRIPTION:
 
This is a set of missions replicating the Gulf of Sidra incident on 4 Jan, 1989, between 2 F-14's from VF-32 and 2 Mig-23's of the Libyan AF.
 
I've built these missions to replicate the incident to the best of my recollection of the events that morning. Some of the ship locations, particularly the USS Belknap, are repositioned from their actual locations for reasons which I will decline to discuss, but are included as general background as are some additional aircraft included on general air routes and carrier based support missions.
 
Rules of Engagement (ROE) in effect the morning of the incident are included in very general terms here. Follow these to make a challenging and realistic replication of that morning. Wartime ROE is NOT in effect and the ROE does not allow a pre-emptive attack. You are not required to wait for the bogeys to fire first but you can engage if the bogeys manuever aggressively in an attempt to obtain a firing position. Remember that the Mig-23 does have a forward quarter head-on capability! Attempt to intercept and escort but if the bogeys manuever to obtain a firing solution you are cleared to engage.
 
The missions should be copied into your Strike Fighters/Missions folder. The Mig-23 Loadout, aircraft data and avionics updates should be copied directly into the Mig-23MS folder and overwrite the existing files (after you backup the originals!).
 
B. REQUIRED FILES:
 
WHAT YOU'LL ALSO NEED to run the missions are:
 
1. The Mirage Factory F-14A
 
2. VF-32 skin for the F-14A
 
3. Mig-23MS (updated loadout, aircraft data and avionics files are included in this mission pack to provide realistic loadout and radar capability. The radar range settings have been adjusted to include a longer range selection, but the radar performance has not which will give a fairly realistic performance.)
 
4. A310z *
 
5. AN-12 *
 
6. E-2C *
 
7. KA-6D
 
8 A-6E_TRAM
 
9 CVA-63 (representing CV-67 JFK)
 
10. Spruance *
 
10.b. OH Perry *
 
11. CGN-9 * (representing CG-26, Belknap, 6th Fleet Flagship)
 
12. Libyan Koni *
 
13. The Libya Terrain by USAFMTL (note: I've generated each of the Libyan aircraft airborne both to keep the mission elapsed time down and because the terrain version (1.4) that I used to develop these missions has a problem with the Libyan airbases that prevents launch and recovery. On missions 3 and 4 don't try to land - if you happen to make it back).
 
* not required for the missions but provide realistic background of carrier air operations in the Med.
 
All of the above are available from this site, and contain their own installation documents.
 
C. MISSION BRIEFINGS:
 
Gulf of Sidra 1 and 2. Launch from the carrier and proceed to tank from Texaco. The E-2 is conducting airborne early warning and support ships for surveillance are on station. The A-6's are on a practice route over the Greek islands as you proceed and you should monitor their departure. When bogey's are called conduct a radar search. If the bogeys are closing vector to intercept and escort. ROE requires they take hostile action before you can engage. (one of these missions will be a benign intercept and escort and one will involve an engagement in close as it occured.) Return to the ship after the bogeys are outbound/splashed.
 
Note: if you escort without an engagement the sim will record a mission failure - but you can record a personal mission success as a thousand such missions were flown successfully without hostilities during the years of armed standoff and occasional conflict between Libya and the US.
Gulf of Sidra 3 is flown from the Libyan perspective. Vector to investigate the infidel violators of our sacred airspace! Sweep the skies of the invading crusaders and return to the glory of your country!
 
Gulf of Sidra 4 is flown from the Libyan perspective. Vector to investigate the contacts to the north. Do not engage unless fired on, and return to report the infidel operations.
 
Final note. The Gulf of Sidra event was an unplanned event, and from the USN perspective an unprovoked attack against a defensive CAP positioned to defend the carrier force during a routine transit of the Med. To this day, no one knows why the Libyan pilots manuevered as they did. It should be remembered that two very brave men, wearing uniforms and flying for their country, did not return that morning. All of the USN aircrews returned safely.
 
Any questions give me a shout on PM.

Strike Fighters/Wings Over Vietnam/Wings Over Europe etc Mi-24 skins readme
 
All credit for these skins goes to their creators as detailed below. All I've done is to re-format them for SF\WOV\WOE and add a textureSet to each skin.
 
Not all of the countries for which we have skins are included in the standard NATIONS.ini list, so I've left those as Soviet. It doesn't make any difference to the skins' appearance as there are no decals to worry about. If you have the New Nations mod that includes these missing countries then feel free to modify the relevant TextureSet.
 
 
All you need to do is to extract the skin to your Objects\Aircraft\Mi-24 folder, then go fly and blow up some stuff.
 
 
Thanks must go to the A Team for making the Mi-24 for SF\WOV\WOE, Tim Conrad for the original Mi-24V, and of course TK for giving us these great sims to play with.
 
This skin is based on Mike Pearson's textures and converted with his kind permission.
 
Enjoy, and good hunting

Strike Fighters/Wings Over Vietnam/Wings Over Europe etc Mi-8 and Mi-17 skins readme

Installation:
All you need to do is to extract the skin to your Objects\Aircraft\Mi-8 or Mi-17 folder, then go fly and blow up some stuff.
 
The skins are interchangeable between The A Team's various models of the Mi-8 and Mi-17, including the static model Mi-8T. All you need to do is rename some of the .bmps within the skins folder to the model type you want the skin for.
 
e.g. if you have a skin for the unarmed Mi-8T that you want to use on an armed Mi-8TV, you will need to rename as follows:
 
Mi8T-r --------> Mi8TV-r
Mi8T-s --------> Mi8TV-s
Mi8T-t --------> Mi8TV-t
 
Thanks must go to the A Team for making the Mi-8 & Mi-17 for SF\WOV\WOE and especially to Capun for all of his help, Vladimir Zhyhulskiy for the FS2004 Mi-8 and original textures, and of course TK for giving us these great sims to play with.

This is a package containing two missions and a skin for the Mirage Factory Kfir C2
 
The mission comes in two versions, the only difference is that in the default version you are equipped with AIM-9L's with all-aspect capacity and in the hard version you are equipped with Shafir 2's without all aspect capacity.
 
This mission takes place over the desert terrain.
