1948 War for Independence/1956 Suez Crisis

This mod encompasses a 1948 war for independence campaign and an add to the default campaign by adding most of the missing units and countries involved. It’s as close as I could get it but I am sure someone will say it’s lacking something.

+**Soulfreak** · June 9, 2010

Great add-on! I´m loving it!

I only have noticed missing cockpit textures on the wyvern and gave Dave an info.

will be updatet!

+**allenjb42** · June 9, 2010

Great stuff! Thanks very much for this one to all involved.

**Nightshift82** · June 9, 2010

And stuck at work....11pm can't come any sooner!!!!!

+**JonathanRL** · June 9, 2010

That was bloody fast. I am impressed. Going to place my Israel 2010 install and give this a shot.

**ShrikeHawk** · June 9, 2010

I'm SO looking forward to trying this. Thank You! Thank You!

**topcat II** · June 10, 2010

This is so cool Great many thanks to all!!!! :clapping:

**Slartibartfast** · June 10, 2010

Thank you to everyone for this fine work... As to me I will be setting up a laptop for this especially... I am looking forward to this...

Metatron · June 12, 2010

My first post!

I am having loads of fun with your campaign, well done!

Just a couple of issues, the Mig-15 cockpit seems to have no gunsight reticle. Also in the Halifax cockpit you can see a 'floating' co-pilot outside the confines of the pit.

Also, I've been wondering-is there a leather helmet mod around for the Avia and the Spits?

+**eburger68** · June 13, 2010

Metratron:

Glad to hear that you're enjoing the mod. The oddly placed co-pilot is something we noticed during beta testing (you'll see the same thing with the HalifaxTR as well). Unfortunately, I don't know of an easy fix for that oddity. The other issues you raise are easy to address, though:

1) MiG-15 gunsight

Attached is a corrected COCKPIT.INI that will add a circular gunsight to the cockpit. Just drop the .INI file in your MiG-15bis folder, overwriting the existing COCKPIT.INI file.

2) WWII pilot figure

For any aircraft you want to use a WWII-style pilot figure, open the DATA.INI for that aircraft and change the PilotModelName= statement (in the "Crew" section) to point to PilotLanc:

PilotModelName=PilotLanc

Best,

Great, thank you for the prompt reply.

+**eburger68** · June 15, 2010

Folks:

Last night I discovered some minor typo-errors in several campaign files for this mod. Attached are corrected DATA.INIs for the affected campaigns.

Best,

**Streakfalcon** · June 15, 2010

want to save the bandwith regarding the readme; does this require the expansion pack or just SF2I?

+**eburger68** · June 15, 2010

ikon71:

For this mod you will need the Expansion Pack in addition to SF2I.

Eric Howes

+**eburger68** · June 16, 2010

Folks:

Attached is a small collection of fixes for three aircraft:

1) Au-1: elevators now working properly; Column5's updated flight model used; bomb attachment points moved back (bombs were hanging off the front edge of the wing)

2) F4U-7: bomb attachment points moved back (bombs were hanging off the front edge of the wing)

3) Spitfire9c_IDF: cockpit.ini now properly named (so you can fly the aircraft)

To install, simply unpack the attached .ZIP files and drop all three folders into the \Objects\Aircraft directory of your SF2I Mod Folder.

+**Dave** · June 16, 2010

Eric I will get these fixes intregrated ASAP and reupload the mod.

+**Soulfreak** · June 16, 2010

Dave, remember to include the cockpit bmps of the wyvern! :idea:

+**Dave** · June 16, 2010

Dave, remember to include the cockpit bmps of the wyvern!

Already added those and updated the file on the 10th of June. :good:

+**Soulfreak** · June 16, 2010

Rgr that Dave!

Metatron · June 16, 2010

You might want to have a look at the Mosquito fm, it rolls like an F-16, some mix up must have occurred there...

+**eburger68** · June 17, 2010

Metatron:

Try the attached DATA.INI (backup your original first). This version makes the control surfaces less snappy.

Eric Howes

Edited August 26, 2010 by eburger68

+**Dave** · June 17, 2010

Eric want to send me a big fix pack and I will add and upload it right now?

+**Dave** · June 17, 2010

The FM is years old. I am not FM person, so you have to use what you have. The FM people around here are too few and far between.

Metatron · June 17, 2010

Thanks for the replies. I will try the new data file, thanks Eric.
