+howling1 · November 26, 2006

=======================================

A. Installation Instructions:

NOTE: You need to have the most current Weapons Pack ( W/Updates ) installed.

SFP1 should be patched to SP3.1 standard. WOV should have Patch 2 installed.

1. Unzip & extract into your Strike Fighters or Wings Over Vietnam "Objects/Aircraft" directory.

2. Open the "Add To Sounds" folder and drop the .wav files into your SFP1 or WOV Sounds folder.

B. F-7A ( F-7 II ) History :

This is a mod of Gramps F-7M Airguard/Skybolt into the less sophisticated F-7A Export version. *This* is the fighter

that comes to mind with Western Defence Analysts when you mention Chinese Fighter. Basically a stripped down version

of the MiG-21F. These were the first F-7s offered for sale by China and lack features that China's own line J-7 IIs carried.

Primarily sold to African nations & Albania, these initial offerings could carry either Soviet IRMs or the early Chinese

copies. Principle users included Albania, Tanzania, Iraq ( wired for Matra R-550s ), and possibly the Iranian Islamic

Revolutionary Guards. Simplistic, even by African standards, this "no frills" fighter is what you want if you're more

interested in having a status symbol supersonic air force.

C. Changes In v1.95

1. Cockpit changed to A-4B for WOV compatability.

2. RWR added. ( Fubar's MiG RWR Sounds included )

3. Radar corrected, based on more accurate data.

4. MiG Fishbed C engine .wav now included.

5. Canopy decals by WhiteKnight included.

6. This mod includes the stock Soviet Silver skin modified to use the Soviet Killing Markings Decal Mod for all stock SFP1

Many thanks to Lee for his permission to use this Mod.
