New Nations.INI for SFP1 & WOV.
---------------------------------------------
Description:
SFP1 has a default of 74 nations in the Nations.INI which covers all the "Usual Suspects" for aerial warfare Post-1945. Although lot of the world is covered, there are a few gaps. Most of the South American Air Forces are missing, as are the smaller forces from Asia, the Middle East and Northern and Southern Africa.
Adding in various air forces has brought the number of flyable countries up to 150. This total includes most of the African, Central and South American air arms that were missed in the original game. In addition, Laos and Cambodia have been added to round out the countries involved in the Vietnam War. Finally, the majority of the countries that emerged after the break-up of the USSR and Warsaw Pact have been added.
In addition to more "Real World" air forces, I have added Dhimar and Paran to the list, as well as activating the Mercenary entry for Single Mission use.
I have also added the WW2 entries created for Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, Imperial Japan and Stalinist Russia originally created by ArmourDave, Charles and Wolf257 and used with their permission. In addition I have added the Imperial Japanese Navy and Manchukuo (Puppet State Manchuria) as additional choices.
A new LOADOUTSCREEN.BMP and LOADOUTSCREEN.INI are included. These are based on the game's original files and have the TextureSetList, InsigniaList and SquadronList entries lengthened to accomadate some of the longer Air Force Names.
As a result these two files are NOT compatible with the Loadout screens with Kout's replacement menu sets. Mixing these files will result in strange results on the LOADOUTSCREEN ONLY.
This addon is also compatible with Charles' Medal Packs - thanks Charles for the reminder! :-)

As to what's in the release, please refer to the GIF files inclosed. I've also included some TGA's of the various titles unsplit to make decal placement easier.
Finally, there are also two "African Mig-21MF" skins included. These are just the default skin "Matted" up and given Tanzanian and Madagascan markings. They are based on Profiles by Tom Cooper from the "African Migs" series of articles on the www.acig.org site.
