View File Operation Eastern Foothold (Desert 1956) Operation Desert Foothold by JonathanRL In 1956, right before the engagement at Suez and Operation Musketeer, Israel requested further Air Units in their vicinity as added saftey in case more Arab Nations would join the War. Brittish and French Air Squadrons are placed in the Kingdom of Dhimar under the pretext of training the Dhimarian Air Force. This is given further credibility by offering a large number of Hawker Hunter Aircraft at low prices. Dhimar, feeling pressured and threathened by the Empire of Paran, agrees and - as per contract - request Brittish and French aid to defend their oil fields until such a time Dhimar can defend itself. Meanwhile, Egypt who are fighting Israel are not fooled by this show. Suspecting that the French and Brittish will be used to engage them in the near future, deployes a single flight of MiG-15s and encourages their ally to launch a suprise attack upon Dhimar, promising them Dhimar and its oil wells if Paran succeeds. The Empire of Paran Air Force consisting mostly of Spitfires and P51s with elite units flying Hunters and possesing a considerable force of Canberras makes ready for the suprise attack against the outnumbered Allies... Flyable Aircraft French Air Force: Mystere IV (IAF Camo), P51, F-84F Brittish Air Force: Hunter2, Meteor, Spitfire, Vampire Mk9 Egyptian Air Force: MiG-15 Installation: Simply unzip into your Saved GamesThirdWireStrikeFighters2 directory. SF2 and both Expansion Packs are required for this campaign. A merged installation is preferred. Aircraft you have cockpits for are flyable, but abovementioned Aircraft are pre-set to be flown in Campaign. To give a Aircraft a cockpit, open the Aircraft Cockpit you wish to use, Copy the CockpitDataFile=Hunter1_cockpit.ini (This is an example, any will suffice), open the Ini of the Aircraft you cannot fly, copy the line under [AircraftData]. Voila. Flyable. The F-84F Mega Pack is HIGHLY Recommended for this Campaign: http://combatace.com/files/file/11551-thirdwire-f-84f-mega-skin-update-pack/ Thanks to: Thirdwire for the Awesome Game and Aircraft Soulfreak for his lovely F-84F!

The Mirage Factory MiG-29s of Column5 site does work handy with SF2. http://column5.us/miragef.shtml

The Mirage Factory F-14 Pack for SF2 absolutly.

;-)

If you want Battlefield 2 with good bots, try out AIX 2.0 project. Its made for Battlefield Single Player. http://www.aixtended.com/ Also, I would suggest you get SF2: Europe if its the Europe setting you want. SF2 is better then SF1 series in almost every way.

Blessed is the man who has freed such a beuty from the grip of the Russians.

Thanks for the Info. I don´t know if I am planning an update, but if I make one, I will be sure to add your into it. My sources was actually mainly wikipedia, and was willing to make adjustments for Gameplay. Interesting reading nevertheless :)

View File SF2: Europe Expansion 2 Campaign Flyable Aircraft tweak 1.1 (NATO) Just unzip into your merged Strike Fighters 2 Folder. You need SF2: Israel Exp 1 for this to work. Only tested on fully Merged Installation. I also very much recommend Soulfreaks F-84 Mega Skin Update Pack: http://combatace.com/files/file/11551-thirdwire-f-84f-mega-skin-update-pack/ I have not tested this mod without using it, and using it would be a great thing for you to do. Trust me :) You have to make the aircraft flyable by yourself. To do this, simply copy the line: CockpitDataFile=Hunter6_cockpit.ini into the .ini of the Aircraft you wish to make flyable. For the Spitfires, I recommend using the P-51D Cockpit: CockpitDataFile=P-51D_cockpit.ini Contains the Campaign fix for the F-100A Super Sabre. Warsaw Pact Air Force now also operates a few Squadrons of Spitfires, used as standins for Soviet Props. Added Aircraft (All are Flyable in Campaign with abovementioned modification) USAF: F-84F, P-51D RAF: Canberra, Spitfire9e, Spitfire 9c, Vampire9 France: F-84F, P-51D Denmark: Hunter 5, Meteor8 Luftwaffe: F-84F Netherlands: F-84F, Meteor8, Hunter4 Belgium: F-84F, Meteor8 My Tributes to the NATO Fighters & Mirage Factory teams. Thanks to: Thirdwire Its his toys, I only changed their places in the Toybox! Soulfreak I was no fan of the F-84F, but you converted me in a New York Minute :) All rights belong to their respective owners. Submitter JonathanRL Submitted 12/05/2010 Category User Made Campaigns

Well, I just posted an Update, where I removed the A-1H. This I did for two reasons: It removed the SF:V requirement and it was not supposed to be there. No worries tought, I left you plenty of other toys to play with :)

I wish to recommend the F-84F Mega Pack for the flyable F-84s http://combatace.com/files/file/11551-thirdwire-f-84f-mega-skin-update-pack/

... Actually, a NF that focused more on the 50:ies Era would be awesome. Esp as the 56 Campaign has dandy little of the actual NATO Fighters that are not France, UK and USA...

Made a little addition to the Campaigns for the Exp 1 Users: This adds F-84F, P-51D, both Spitfire versions and the Vampire9 to the Campaign. If you have the Aircraft flyable, they are flyable and selectable in the Campaign Screen. You must have Exp 1 installed, or all it does is loosing you a couple of well needed squadrons. The bug is in the Campaign since Upgrade Date seems to be same as Deployment Date: UpgradeType=FIXED Upgrade[01].Date=11/20/1956 Upgrade[01].Type=F-100C I changed the Update date in the Campaign file below to one year later. Consider it a minor hotfix :D Note that the file will also change the things mentioned above the qouteline.

The Hotfix has been released. http://thirdwire.com/ Also, after checking the Campaign files, I wonder who will be the first to make a Supermarine Swift :)

Last Video of me toying with the Mission Editior. No Commentary. Thats about 20 Warships duking it out down there :D Also shows off the Canberra :)

Apologies for double post, but for some reason, the edit button on the above entry has disappeared. Here is the mission editor tryout at any rate.

My first impressions in video form. Hope you are able to endure my bad mic and commenting :D

When I read the news, my heart skipped a step. Well, Downloading now, and I am quite sure the three days of noodles will be worth this :D I was planning on making a first impressions video. Ill see about doing your request as well :)

http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=10039&sid=04e3fae76ddec4bbc54ccabd71e62d79 From what I can tell, stay away. Looks like a SCAM. The Flight Simulator itself is Free - called Flightgear and can be downloaded under a GPL License.

That is why one shall play Multiplayer. Multiplayer in Bad Company 2 ! :P

The first installment of Jet Thunder will be released later this winter as I understood it.
