Historic mission: First jets kill over Israel
 
After IDF attacks on terrorists bases (Fedayoon) in the Gaza strip on August 1955, the EAF start penetrating the aerial borders of Israel. On September 1, 1955, a formations of four Vampires has crossed the border into Israel, northern to the Gaza Strip.
Captain Aharon Yoeli in a Meteor FR-9 (no. 36) and Captain Yoash Tzidon his wingman, from the 117 first jet squadron, were inside the cockpit, on the runway of Hatzor AB, in an intercept standby.
As soon as the aerial control unit has identified the invasion, the two Meteors were scrambled. They were vectored into an intercept course with the approaching EAF Vampires.
During the airfight that follows, over the Mediterranean Sea coast, near Ashkelon, two Vampires were killed by Aharon Yoeli in Meteor 36.
The EAF command soon announced that, two Vampires on a training mission had mid air collision.
This was the first jet kill ever, by the Israeli Air Force, and the first air kill since the 1948 war of Independence.
 
 
Flyable aircraft:

Fixed the Mig-21MF Skin Directory name.
 
Fixed some weapons so that FireEffect shows up in
new version of SF2 series.

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 Flyable Israeli-U.S. F-16A Netz USAF 2nd Eagle Squadron to Campaign.
This was already in the campaign, but not flyable before.

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

These are edited stock campaigns to suit the Updated SF2 Desert terrain that I recently released. While the original campaigns would work without much bother, they wouldn't give the benefits of all the additions I made to the 'Desert3' terrain. These include:
 
* All US Navy campaigns being carrier based.
* Players will now have the additional option of flying campaigns for the RAF.
* The two extra Parani airfields in Desert3 are included in these campaign files. Enemy squadrons have been assigned to them.
* The SF2 stock campaign files failed to give the player the benefits of having the option to fly in the new stock aircraft that are now available in SF2. These edited campaign files now include the Hawker Hunter, the F-4M/F-4M_75, the F-105D/D_66 Thunderchief, the A-7 Corsair (USAF/USN) and the Harrier GR.1/GR.3.
 
 
INSTALLATION:
 
Just unzip the RAR file and move the contents of the 'CAMPAIGNS' folder to your SF2 game's 'Campaigns' folder. For those who might be concerned; these new campaign files WON'T overwrite your stock ones.
 
I'm not sure if the CVA-63 and SCB-125 stock carrier models were included with the stock SF2 groundobjects; but if they're not, simply copy those folders from your SF2V/Objects/GroundObject folder. If you don't have SF2V or if you've no wish to get SF2V, please let me know in this release's Support Topic and if there's enough demand for it I'll release these campaigns with land-based USN squadrons.
 
 
Happy flying folks!

War For Israel
Campaign For SF2,SF2:E,SF2:V and SF2:Israel.
 
 
This is a Campaign i created to hit on the possability of the situation
in the Middle East coming to a head and represent the possible Air Battle.
Though probably worse than in the game, this has alot of action going
all the time.
 
 
The Campaign includes IDF, USAF, USMC, USN with Carrier support.
 
Installing the Campaign:
 
Campaign files with menu pics and description and Music files are included.
You will need the "SF2 Israel" Terrain.
If You use "Wings Over Israel" Terrain, just drop the IsraelME.cat
file into a SF2 Main program Terrains dir. Drop the Contents of the
"Strike Fighters 2 Main Dir" into the SF2 Main Dir. Then make a copy of
one of your SF2's exe and rename it to "StrikeFighters2WarForIsrael.exe"
Also i have provided a StrikeFighters2WarForIsrael.ini for the main dir.
This will allow the use of the Menu file ModuleWFI.cat that goes in your
Main Programs "Menu" dir. Then run the exe once and go to the new mod Dir
it created and if you want to first delete all the planes in the Aircraft
Dir. then Drop contents of the "ThirdWire Mod Dir" into the new MOD Dir,
overwrite when it asks. You have to run the exe first to get the options.ini
generated in the mod dir for the mod to work.
 
You should be ready to go.
 
Before anyone complaigns about stock planes in this mos the A-4N is From
the A-4AR Fightinghawk
by Ravens**t
 
and the Mig-27 is a modded version using the stock usable Mig-27 skins, and
is by lindr2
 
Both can be downloaded at CombatAce.
 
 
I want to thank the Community for all their effort.

Historical missions for SF2 Israel:
(Updated from WOI mission)
 
The Ace of Aces
 
First fighter squadron 101 Neshers vs. Egyptian Mig-21.
 
 
Colonel Giora Epstein is a retired colonel in the Israeli Air Force (IAF) believed to have shot down more jet aircraft than any other pilot. Epstein was credited with 17 kills, all against Egyptian aircraft. With seventeen confirmed kills, Giora Epstein remains the world's top scoring jet fighter pilot making him the "ace of all aces".
 
During Yom Kippur War, October 20, 1973; already a double Ace with 10 kills, Giora Epstein maneuvers his 101 Squadron Nesher after a decoy of 2 Mig-21 Egyptian aircrafts. On the deck are 16 Mig-21 Egyptian aircrafts waiting in a perfect ambush. After 3 of the Neshers returned to base, Epstein fought alone against 11 Migs. The results of the battle were: 4 Migs-21 downed by the Israeli Ace.
 
The full story of this battle is in the Giora Epstein Story.txt file.
 
 
To install:
 
Unrar
Copy the msm files into the mission folder of SF2 Israel.
 
You can play Giora Epstein's mission either in normal or hard difficulty. The hard mission is very challenging.
You can also play the 'crazy mig' pilot role. Remember if you are playing the Egyptian pilot, don’t engage the Neshers on sight, lure them into the waiting ambush first.
 
I invite everybody who plays the mission to post (in the announcements topic), how many Mig's kill you've got in normal/hard mission.
 
 
For suggestions or remarks just send me a massage.

2. What's inside:
 
This is intended to be an overall enhancement to the SF2 Vietnam experience without having to hunt for, download, and install some of the "must have" mods for the game.
 
-Two new campaigns that are centered around fighting in South Vietnam
-Green Hell 2
-Brian32's Tiles
-Widesky Environment Mod
-Flyable A-1H/J, A-6A, and F-111A w/ weapons and loadouts where neccessary
-F-105G, Flyable B-57B, B-57G
 
 
 
3. Installation:
 
Install and Patch Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam. Run the game once.
 
Simply drop the contents of the "Add to SF2V MOD Folder" into your Strike Fighters 2 Vietnam mod folder (NOT the folder that the game installs to). For me, on XP, the folder is: C:\Documents and Settings\Gregg\My Documents\ThirdWire
 
Download the FOTI A-6A from here:
http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5014
 
Copy the "cockpit" folder from the .rar file and drop it into the A-6A aircraft folder in your SF2Vietnam mod directory.
 
 
4.Known Issues
 
Default CAS loadout for A-1's should include CBU-25's on the outer wing stations, but the AI doesn't know how to use that weapon. So, load them onto your own aircraft, but don't load them on AI!
 
5.Legal stuff:
 
I have signed onto the freeware "list" on combatace.com. As such, the work here can be included or used in other mods as along as they aren't payware and credit is given to the creator(s).
 
 
Thanks,
 
Malibu43

TRUE VPAF
 
Decals, Skins and Userlists
 
A mod to enhance our SF-2 immersion, to use mostly in our custom campaigns.
 
In fact I was bored of all that Charlies whith all the same serial numbers for every plane model …
 
So I took the real numbers and made the correct serial for EVERY known VPAF plane.
 
You’ll find the Ace’s name who flown each aircraft, if known, beside his number, too.
 
I worked on the userlists to alllow the program to use in VietnamSea theatre a VPAF and not a Soviet Skin.
 
These are models You have:
 
Mig-17 20 planes
 
Mig-17F 178 planes (some others not confirmed are omitted)
 
Mig-17PF 10 planes and new skin.
 
Mig-19S/J-6 60 planes (correct userlist for Mig-19S)
 
Mig-21F 30 planes and a new skin little reworked.
 
Mig-21PFV (or better PFL) 30 planes
 
Mig-21PFM 111 planes
 
Mig-21MF 60 planes
 
Mig-21bis [bonus plane (not for Vietnam war)] with skin, correct userlist and 42 known plane numbers.
 
Mig-15 UTI (only one number is known, the other are presumed) Skin for Pasko/Shusjake model [http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=8547] and new userlist file included.
 
Mig-15 bis (only 7 number are known, the plane has’nt a great usage) Skin for Pasko/Shusjake model and new userlist file included.
 
Il-28 There was a squadron of 8/10 planes that took not active partecipation in Vietnam war, but now you have the choice to use. (Only tree numbers are known and only one is confirmed, the others are “presumed” by me). Silver and Green skin are included togheter with a correct userlist.
 
To install: let the new folders in the pack override previous ones. Stock install is not modded except for Mig-17F and Mig-21PFM that use only new number sets that are over 100!
