Libyan Egyptian Conflict Escalation 1977

---

Escalation of Libyan/Egyptian Conflict:

 

In July of 1977, a series of border skirmishes between the neighboring countries escalates into a full blown conflict. After a botched attempt at a peace agreement, Libya invades Egypt and the Arab. The rest of the Arab world, urging for peace, vows to stay out of the conflict while the Soviet Union sends military aid to Libyan and the United States vows to support Egypt as well as equiping its new regional ally with advanced F-4E fighters.

 

This is a "what if?" campaign. Lots of good planes on both sides. Also, lots of similar types on both sides, which makes for some interesting Air to Air engagements.

 

 

Readme:

 

Installation:

Take the LE77 folder out of the zipped folder. Drop it into your Strikefighters2/CAMPAIGNS folder of choice.

Install any suggested addons.

Have fun.

 

You will need:

StrikeFighters2

Strikefighters2Israel

Wrench's Easter med terrain. -> http://combatace.com/files/file/12989-eastern-mediterranean-terrain-for-sf2/

 

You will want:

DLC AI Packs 1 and 2 -> https://store.thirdwire.com/store_dlc.htm

...and make them flyable. Stary has awesome new MiG-19 pits, there are MiG-21 pits out there, and the MirageIIIO pit works well for the radar equipped Mirage and the Nesher/Mirage5BA pit for the others.

 

Thanks to Wrench for the very nice terrain.

Thanks to those who have worked tirelessly on making stock AI planes flyable with awesome new pits.

Thanks to CombatAce.com for being the best place for all your flight sim needs!

Thanks for the links, Paulo!  I will tweak it some more and do ver. 1.1 , but for now my computer is going into storage.  We're moving , and I wanted to go ahead and get this campaign out there. 

 

Wikipedia had the MiG-17 listed in service with Libya at some point, but we all know that Wikipedia's accuracy is dubious at best.  As for the MiG-19, well, I often work on these things late at night, and late at night I also spend some quality time with the gentleman pictured in my little icon over there on the left.        http://www.northcoastbrewing.com/beer-rasputin.htm

Hey there, 

 

Thanks for this campaign! I've lived in Libya a few years ago and always eager to have such scenarios in my game.

Currently, I can only play with EAF F4, it sounds newbish, but how can I make the other one flyable?

 

Thanks!

I concurr, the Libyan Air Force was almost from scratch a "Mach 2" one.

Libyan Royal Air Force had only an handful of F-5. From the Qaddafi's days onward, there was this massive expansion with Mach2 planes: Mirages & MiGs.

I may add that Su-22 and MiG 25 would be a welcomed addition on libyan side. :)

Hey Emp_P , and thanks.

 

Here is Wrench's famous post on making AI planes flyable: http://combatace.com/topic/20789-how-to-make-ai-planes-flyable/

 

Everything is ready to go in the campaign, so adding cockpits should make the planes show up as flyable.  Try the MiG-19 and MiG-21MF.  There are pits available in the SF2 and SF1 download sections.

 

 I believe the Foxbat didn't enter Libyan service until 1980 or later, or I would have included it.

 

My computer with SF2 on it has not been online in over a month (we moved), but I will get 1.1 up soon as I can with a few minor changes regarding Libyan MiG-17 etc. and an extra surprise ;)

 

Question:  Would there have been F-5's flying in Libya during this time period?

 I indeed put my hands in files and did what's needed to fly AI planes, thanks to Nato Fighters MiGs.

 

Regarding your question: F-5 were quickly discarded post-Qaddadi's coup. Imperialist planes, they were sold to Turkey iirc and the handfull of trained pilot were converted on mirages.

MiG-25 indeed entered service in the 1980's, let's say my enthousiasm spoke. 

 

Your changes should remove MiG 17 & 19 and convert these on Mirage. Libyan Arab/People (the name changing came around that time) Air Force was at that time mirage dominated but soviet planes were more and more numerous. 

If you can, some skins could be great, especially egyptian "high viz" on the MiGs.

 

Thanks, nonetheless, for a great mod. I had much fun with it during the holidays.
