About This File
For those who have downloaded Sundowner's Israeli A-4F skin pack and want an Israeli A-4 to put them on, this kit provides the files to convert a copy of the A-4F into the Israeli A-4H. As such it's a work around until we get a proper Israeli A-4H/N.
===========
-4H "Ahit" Beta v1.3 Readme
=======================
1. This version corrects the ECM & clarifies the droptank data.
2. This is a "Quick & Dirty" conversion of the ThirdWire A-4F to an Israeli version.
As such, it will enable you to operate an "Israeli" advanced Skyhawk until such
time as a proper A-4N Skyhawk II can be built.
3. You must have SFP1 ( Patched to SP3.1 ) or WOV w/Patch 2 in order to use this mod.
You must also have the most current Weapons Pack with Updates in order for the
guns to work. This mod assumes that you also have Sundowner's Israeli Skyhawk
skin package already downloaded ( Availible from http://www.combatace.com/ ).
As well as ThirdWire's A-4F Skyhawk ( Also at CombatAce ).
=======================
INSTALLATION :
A. Make a copy of your A-4F aircraft Folder. Rename this to A-4H
B. Add the A-4H config.ini, the A-4H data.ini, the A-4H loadout.ini, and the A-4H
Loading.bmp to your new A-4H folder. The A-4H folder should now be placed in your
Strike Fighters/Objects/Aircraft , or your WOV/Objects/Aircraft folder.
C. If you want Sundowner's Israeli camoflage tanks to show in the A-4H Loadout screen,
add the following entry :
[WeaponDataXXX]
TypeName=Tank300_A4IDF
FullName=Israeli 300-gal Drop Tank
ModelName=tank300_a4ais
Mass=989.500000
Diameter=0.650000
Length=6.020000
AttachmentType=
NationName=
StartYear=0
EndYear=0
Availability=0
BaseQuantity=0
Exported=FALSE
ExportStartYear=0
ExportAvailability=0
WeaponDataType=5
MaxFuelAmount=884.520020
Asymmetrical=FALSE
This enables your Israeli Camo droptanks to show up as the default tanks for this aircraft.
You must add this data to your weaponsdata.ini ( make sure than the WeaponData number is the
next one in sequence ), then save the weaponsdata.ini using the SP3 Weapons Editor.
Note :
You should also have Sundowner's tank entry in your weaponsdata.ini if you wish to use his
tanks with Israeli skins for the A-4E & A-4EL :
[WeaponDataxxx]
TypeName=Tank300_A4
FullName=Israeli 300-gal Drop Tank
ModelName=tank300_a4ais
Mass=989.500000
Diameter=0.650000
Length=6.020000
AttachmentType=
NationName=
StartYear=0
EndYear=0
Availability=0
BaseQuantity=0
Exported=FALSE
ExportStartYear=0
ExportAvailability=0
WeaponDataType=5
MaxFuelAmount=884.520020
Asymmetrical=FALSE
================================================
v1.3 Changes to the A-4H from the A-4F :
1. the 20mm cannon are replaced with DEFA 30mm cannon ( each with 150 rounds ).
2. the tailhook has been disabled ( Israel doesn't have carriers ).
3. an early model chaff dispencer & flare dispencer has been added. Jammer strength increased.
( Note that the jammer strength is toned down in v1.3. The initial strength of 48 was
entirely *Too* effective. )
4. Sundowner's IDF skins are set up as default skins. Same with his droptanks. Note that there
should be two tank entries in the weaponsdata.ini for use with both A-4E & A-4H.
5. Aircraft nationality is changed to Israel.
6. Wrench's Canopy Mod now included.
7. Wrenchs IAF Skyhawk1 Hangarscreen also included.
Enjoy!
