MiG-21M Fishbed-G for SFP1, WOI, WOE, WOV
 
*************************************
HISTORY
*************************************
 
In the 60th the MiG OKB developed a recon version of the MiG-21. This bird (MiG-21R) got a bigger tank on the back. Basing on the MiG-21R the soviets developed the MiG-21S, a fighter plane with an improved radar RP-22 and a better weapon system. The S had 4 hardpoints under the wings and the big backtank of the R. But it had no internal gun.
For export an simplified version was developed and called MiG-21M. The M looked very similar to the S, but got the old RP-21 radar. Because the costumers demanded an internal gun the MiG-21M got as first plane the GSha-23.
On paper the MiG-21M had a good performance. It was twice as efficient in the ground attack role than the older MiG-21 versions and was also able to carry the double number of air to air missiles. But in reality the pilots did not love this bird. The MiG-21M was much heavier than the MiG-21F, PF, PFM (SPS-K) but had the same engine. So the agility of the older planes was lost. In contrary the MiG-21M was a very stable gun plattform.
Later in service the MiG-21M was updated some times. It got the protection plates below the side air intakes (Startklappen) which should avoid FOD incidents, but also protect against gun smoke which could harm the engine. In some cases the MiG-21M got the engine of the MiG-21MF.
 
The bird in this package is the basic MiG-21M without protection plates and periscope on the canopy, as it was used in the Warshaw Pact and Syria. It represents an early eastgerman LSK/LV MiG-21M before major upgrates.

MiG-21SMT Fishbed-K for SFP1, WOI, WOE, WOV
 
*************************************
HISTORY
*************************************
 
In the late 60th the soviet frontline aviation demanded a longer range MiG-21 for primary use as carrier for tactical nuclear weapons to the central european war theatre.
The MiG-OKB choosed the MiG-21SM as basic for the development and simply enlarged the backfueltank, so that now the internal fuel amount climbed to 2.950 litres (2.400 lbs). The new bird was called MiG-21SMT. The T stands for "topliwo", what means "fuel".
All SMT were prepared for the nuclear strike role.
Only a relative small number of SMT's were built. They served mostly as dedicated nuc carriers at airfields in the GDR (east germany)

MiG-21S Fishbed-G for SFP1, WOI, WOE, WOV
 
A WORD BEFORE
************************************
I know, that there is a MiG-21S available already at the download section. It was made by Starfighter. I used it a lot of times, but i had always the feeling, that this bird was to capable, to agile. Additionally it does not 100% looks like the S. Thatswhy i decided to make my own version of the MiG-21S. First of all i used the october2008 patch data.ini, while Starfighters bird based on an older patch.
I deleted the periscope at the canopy, the protection blades under the side air intakes and the gun. Then i increased the weight to the correct value and fixed the gunpod position etc.
 
*************************************
HISTORY
*************************************
In the mid 60th it became obviesly, that the MiG-21 of the second generation had some weakpoints. First of all was the radar system not capable enough. The range of the plane was to short and the air to ground capability was to weak.
To overcome the first weakpoint the MiG designers decided to introduce the new radar system RP-22 Saphir. This radar was originally developed as S-23 for the high agile dogfighter project E-8, which was canceled to favor the swing wing design, which we know today as MiG-23.
Because the S-23 was to big for the MiG-21 nose cone it was downsized. Especially the size of the radar antanna was reduced. So the maximum detection range of the system was decreased from 54km to 30km. But this was 50% more the old RP-21 could offer. So the RP-22 Saphir was selected, and the S in MiG-21S was the indicator for the improved radar.
To give the MiG-21 longer legs, the designers decided to implement the long backfueltank which was already used at the MiG-21R recon bird. Further the miG-21S got two additionally wet hardpoints under the wings. So the S could carry 3 fuel drop tanks instead 1 as the older versions. With the 2 new weaponstations the air to ground capability of the plane was doubled. The bird now was able to carry 2.000kg of weapons instead 1.000kg as before.
On paper the MiG-21S was an excellent and capable bird. But it was not loved by their pilots. It was nearly 1.000kg heavier than a MiG-21F-13 and 500kg heavier than a MiG-21PF, but still had the same engine. So the MiG-21S had lost a lot of the agility of their forrunners and was not more the born dogfighter.

MiG-21F-13_75
*****************
 
----------------------------------------------------------
I.
 
In mid 70th the egyptian technicians replaced the R-11 engine of the MiG-21F13 by the R-13 which came with the MiG-21MF. The new and stronger engine made the MiG-21F13 faster and more agil. It also does not suffer anymore by compressor stalls which were common with the R-11 engine and the R-13 engine also not so often "died" if a missile was fired, so that restart of the engine in the air was not so often neccessary anymore.
 
The most interessing point of the replacement of the engine is, that the R-13 normaly does not fit into the fuselage of the MiG-21F13. But the egyptian technicians found a way to overcome this problem and make fit was does not fit. So the most agil MiG-21 was born.

I. HISTORY
 
In mid 70th the egyptian technicians replaced the R-11 engine of the MiG-21F13 by the R-13 which came with the MiG-21MF. When it became obviesly that it was a successfull project the same upgrade program was started with the MiG-21PF. The R-11 was replaced by the R-13 engine and in the most cases the holding bolt for the GP-9 gunpod was included. In some few cases the brakechute container was placed above the engine pipe as it is known from the later MiG-21 seria.
With this upgrade program the MiG-21PF became faster and more agile. With the gunpod the MiG-21PF pilot had a substancial increased dogfight capability.

Veltro2K's Vautour IIB/N for WOI - Updated
------------------------------------------
 
This is an update of Veltro2K's Vautour IIB & IIN for Wings Over Israel (WOI). In this update (the originals available at CombatAce in the SF1 Downloads section), I have done my best to correct or mitigate these models' several anomalies: AI inability to taxi and takeoff correctly; AI aircraft exploding on the taxiway; AI problems handling the aircraft in flight; loadout errors; glaring white spots in the engine nacelles.
 
Notes: You will notice that AI aircraft still bounce around just a bit while taxiing, but they do now take off in timely fashion. The updates applied here mirror those offered in my updated SF2I version, also uploaded to CombatAce.
 
Thanks to Wrench for looking over an early version of this update and supplying some additional fixes and adjustments, as well as the F-86D cockpit for the IIN model.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Updates & Fixes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
These aircraft versions incorporate a number of fixes and updates:
 
- applied Veltro2K's fixpacks for B & N model
- added damage TGAs from Christian59's "damage pack"
- added new LOADOUT.BMP
- spiffed up LOADING & HANGAR screens
- darkened IDFCamo textures
- removed spinner nodes to fix unsightly white
spots within engine nacelles (no material assigned
to spinner nodes)
- corrected, renamed, or removed a number of node
names within DATA.INIs
- made engine ThrustPositions symmetrical to correct
AI handling problems
- tweaked landing gear data to improve AI ground handling
behavior
- added tail bumper to improve taxiing & takeoff stability
- updated flight model for SF2
- tweaked loadouts & weapon stations
- added F-86F cockpit from Dave Zurawski & the F-86F
Development Team to the Vautour IIB
- added F-86D cockpit from the Sabre Dog Team to the
Vautour IIN
- added Israeli AF '50s/'60s pilot model by Wrench &
PappyCheckSix

TBM-3E Avenger for Wings Over Israel - Suez Crisis
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
This is a modification of the TBM-3E released by The Wrench, which is itself a mod of the TBF/TBM Avenger available in the WWII aircraft section at the A-Team Skunkworks web site:
 
http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/
 
This mod creates a TBM-3E Avenger for use in ThirdWire's Wing Over Israel (WOI). Included are French Navy and Royal Navy texture sets.
 
Historical purists & rivet-counters take note: what you're about to read is likely to cause nausea, dizziness, and mild vomiting.
 
Before discussing anything else, let me tell you what's wrong with this mod:
 
1) It uses the wrong aircraft: the French Naval Air unit participating in the Suez Crisis flew the TBM-3S/W, not the TBM-3E. I don't have access to a TBM-3S/W model, so the TBM-3E it is.
 
2) It represents the wrong unit: the French Naval Air unit flying the Avenger in the Suez Crisis was 9 Flotilla, not 15 Flotilla. I don't have decals for 9F, so I used the 15F decals from The Mirage Factory's F4U-7 Corsair instead.
 
3) It flies the wrong missions: the French Avenger was primarily an anti-submarine aircraft. Given that there are no Anti-Sub missions in WOI (and given that flying around over an open ocean for hours at a time would get really old really fast in this game), this Avenger is configured to fly Strike, CAS, and Armed Recon missions like other attack aircraft in the world of ThirdWire.
 
For those of you still with me, let me provide some other information about this mod.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
This mod is NOT a complete, self-contained package. It requires that you download the TBF/TBM Avenger from the A-Team's site (see above for a link). Once you've got that file downloaded, do the following:
 
1) Unpack the A-Team's TBF/TBM Avenger into its own folder.
 
2) Copy or move the \Objects & \Sounds folders from this mod (i.e., the Suez Avenger mod) to your WOI installation directory.
 
3) Copy or move the following items from the A-Team TBF/TBM Avenger to the \Objects\Aircraft\TBM-3E folder in your WOI installation directory:
 
- TBM Avenger-R5.LOD
- TBM Avenger-R5.OUT
- \Cockpit [the entire folder "as is"]
 
4. Install the AN/APS-4 Radar Pod data (from ForWeaponData.txt) to your WeaponData.INI and save the changes using the 3rdWire Weapons Editor.
 
That's it. You're ready to fly.
 
Please note that the default unit/skin is the French Navy 15F. I've thrown in Kulbit(80)'s Royal Navy skin as a bonus. This aircraft can be flown reliably on both Hard and Normal flight model settings.
 
This mod produces the same aircraft as the version for SF2I.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Changes & Updates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
This mod makes extensive changes to Wrench's TBM-3E. Here's a short list:
 
- added French Navy 15F texture set
- added Kulbit(80)'s Royal Navy texture set
- added custom Hangar & Loading screens
- added updated Loadout image
- tweaked flight model for Hard settings in WOI
- tweaked landing gear to fix AI aircraft exploding
on the taxiway
- removed belly gunner node and gun
- performed other minor, misc. tweaks & adjustments
 
Thanks to Wrench and Kulbit(80) for testing and misc. tweaks & fixes.
