INSTALLATION
-----------------------------------------
Extract the "Objects" and "Sounds" folders from the WOIMiG21 zip file if you have not done so already.
Copy these two folders to your main Wings Over Israel directory.
That’s it!
I have also included the original documents from the other cockpit releases.

COMMENTS

This mod proivdes only a basic package.
It upgrades all of the stock MiG-21 variants in Wings Over Israel to be flyable.
It primarily adds 3d cockpits previously released for SFP1/WOV/WOE MiG-21 mods.
They are slightly tweaked:
1. Increased transparency for all glass.
2. Removed head-bobbing, which made gunsights too difficult to use.
3. Added preview patches to each skin.
4. Translated the Arabic decals to make lists for selecting the nose numbers.
5. Other files such as flight models and weapons loadouts were omitted.
Omitting the custom flight models and loadouts ensures 100% compliance with the stock game.
This mod allows hosting/joining multiplayer sessions with others using stock installs.
The addon does provide two advantages over pure stock installs: radar and rwr support.
AI MiG-21s already have these systems as they should, so can it be considered cheating?
This mod also ensures that the AI will continue to function as Thirdwire intended.
So, game balance and campaign play in single player are unaffected.
Yet, the MiG-21s are now flyable with appropriate 3d cockpits and avionics.
I have included a text file listing real nose numbers from photos.
This list could be used to make the game's nose decals more historically accurate.
