MiG-23PFM Fishtail-D Beta
*****************
----------------------------------------------------------
I. History
 
This is a "What if" plane. It was not real, but could have been it if the E-8 development line would not have been canceled in 1962.
Imagine: A lot of MiG ingenieurs did not agree with Mikoyans decision to stop the E-8 program. They made a proposal to use proven elements of the E-8 and the MiG-21PF to start a new project called E-9. Mikoyan agreed and intended to use the E-9 as gap filler till his favored project E-11, the later swing wing MiG-23 Flogger, was ready. In autumn 1963 the E-9 was ready for flight tests. It was a combination of MiG-21PF engine, wings and avionics with a new fuselage, tail and canards. The E-9 was accepted by the soviet air force in spring 1964 and entered the production line in summer 1964 as MiG-23F.
In 1966 the Soviet Air Force demanded to equip the new fighter with state of the art avionics and to increase the range. So the MiG-23 Fishtail got a bigger fuselageback fueltank, a modified vertical tail, a mirror on the canopy. Other modifications are the more powerfull R-13 engine and the Saphir-21 Radar, but in the version RP-23. It is not widely known, that the Saphir 21 was originaly developed for the E-8. Only with a smaller antenna it could be fitted in the MiG-21 as RP-22. The smaller antenna reduced the detection range of this radar by 10 km. An other welcome addition of the PF is the ability to carry one gunpod under the left wing root.
In 1970 the last and most advanced version of the Fishtail was accepted by the Soviet Air Force. New features were the R-25 engine and the big backfueltank. The combat abilities were incresed by a now internal GSha-23 gun, double short range IR missile rails and chaff flare dispensers.

MiG-27K (K ... Korabelnui ... carrier based) for WoE
 
This is a mod of the stock MiG-27 of Wings over Europe.
It will not work with SFP1 and WOV because the lod files are not included.
If you want to use it with SFP1 or WOV you must extract the files MiG-27.lod
MiG-27_LOD2.lod
MiG-27_LOD3.lod
MiG-27_LOD4.lod
MiG-27_LOD5.lod from objects.cat of WOE and copy them in the MiG-27K folder.
 
******************************************************
INSTALLATION:
 
Unzip all files into your Wings Over Europe/Objects/Aircraft folder.
 
Thats it.
 
******************************************************
 
The MiG-27K was originally intended as attack plane of the soviet carriers of the Orel class. In the 70th the Orel was a high ranking aircraft carrier project of the Soviet Navy (Project 1153 if i remember right). It was canceled by Marshall Grechko who favored the Project 1143, the later Kiev class aircraft carrier.
The MiG-27K was build in 2 or 3 prototypes and were tested at the Saki facility (Crimea Penisula).
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
 
differences to stock MiG-27:
* modified flightmodel of the plane to improve the handling.
* added capability to land on aircraft carriers
* added some armour, so that the MiG-27 now can survive MG fire
* added on board jammer
* added 15 flares and 15 Chaff
* added Magos great MiG-21F cockpit (thanks for it Mago!)
* plane can now fly intercept and CAP missions
 
Known problem: You cant see the tailhook coming down.

MiG-29 isdelije 9.14 Sturmovik Fulcrum
 
*************************************
HISTORY of MiG-29 isdelije 9.14 development
*************************************
 
The MiG-29 is well known as an very spectacular fighter plane. From its first appearance on an airshow in the late 80th till today the MiG-29 is the star of each airshow.
 
Much less well known is the genisis story of this bird. It begann in 1972 when the Soviet Airforce demanded two new fighter designs. One long range escort plane and a frontline fighter. The MiG OKB decided to take on the competition and begann with the development of the project Isdelije 9.
3 variants of this plane were projected. Isdelije 9.10 as long range escort, is. 9.11 as frontlinefighter with MiG-23 avionics and armament for export and faster introduction into the soviet forces and finally the is. 9.12 as full scale frontline fighter.
In 1973 is. 9.10 was canceled because the Air Force choose the Sukhoi T-10 as long range escort fighter. In 1977 9.11 was canceled when it became obviesly that the Saphir-23 Radar does not fit into the MiG-29 fuselage. So is. 9.12 became the only MiG-29.
In 1982 the first MiG-29 (9.12) came to the units and already while the troop tests the pilots had 3 big demands. 1. more fuel for longer range. 2. an internal jammer. 3. a better air to ground capability.
To fullfill this requirements OKB MiG started the projects is. 9.13 (more fuel and jammer) and 9.14 (jammer and better air to ground capability)
9.13 development started in 1983. The fuselagetank No.1 was increased and the Berjoza jammer was installed.To have space for it in the fuselage the MiG-29 got a bigger back. From 1986 this plane was seen in the soviet fighter units. The NATO gave them the name Fulcrum-C, for the soviets it was still a MiG-29A (is. 9.13)
The development of the 9.14 was more difficult. The MiG-29 was from beginning a frontline fighter. What means, that it was intended to fight for the air superiority over the frontline, but also to support the fighting forces on the ground. In the air to ground role the MiG-29 (9.12) was twice as effective as the MiG-21 or 23, but only 15% as effective as a F-16A. To overcome this weakpoint it was decided to implement guided missiles of the Afghanistan war proven Cha-25 (Kh-25) family. It was planed to use the Cha-25ML laser guided missile, the Cha-25MP anti radar missile and the Cha-25MT TV guided missile. The guidance device was taken from the MiG-27M.
In the literature you can find two statements about the 9.14. The first said, the the laser/TV guidance device was built into a pod, which was carried under the central station, the other said, that the divice was built into the fuselage. (For my MiG-29 is. 9.14 i choose the later option, maybe, that it is wrong, maybe that it is correct. I dont know.)
In 1986 the 9.14 was ready for entering the production line, but the project came to a sudden stop. The reason was, that the air to ground capability of the MiG-29 is. 9.14 was dramatically increased, but it was still weaker than the F-16A (approx 66%). With first flight of the MiG-29M (is. 9.15) a much better Fulcrum was short for introducing. Its air to ground capability was better than the F-16A, it had a same efficency as the F-16C. It was decided to wait till the MiG-29M was available.
To stop the 9.14 introduction in the Soviet Air Force was a big mistake, because the breakdown of the Soviet Union stopped the MiG-29M development by nearly 15 years. So the MiG-29 had for a long period no real satisfying air to ground capability.

I took the missiles from Weaponpack. The credit for the weapon models belongs to the guys who made it.
 
And finally my little share
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I modified the HUD, added an Air to Ground mode. I edited the Data file to implement the guided missiles, reduced the fuel consumption and increased the engine thrust a little bit. And i moddified the original Skin by Wpnssgt to the green gray soviet style MiG-29 camo.

MiG-29 skin east german air force (LSK/LV)
 
This skin is fiction, but based on the original skins used by the LSK/LV end of the 80th.
Each east german combat aircraft had a unique camouflage scheme. The bord numbers (tactical number) were red 3 digit. For camouflage reasons a 1 was painted before the tactical number. The tactical number was also places at the tips of the fins. There the color of the numbers was white.

Mirage2000C1 France
*****************
version1.1
 
In the first version the ammo capability of my Mirage2000C1 was a little bit overrated. Sorry, my fault. Now i have corrected the loadout of this bird.
The Matra Super530 semi active missiles are not longer available for the fuselage weapon stations. Now you can load 2 of them under the inner wing stations. Laser guided Bombs now can be carried under the wing and under the fuselage. 2 AS-30L laser guided missiles can be armed under the wings. One Martel Anti Radar Missile is possible at the centerline station.
Also i have reduced the gun ammo from 150 to 125 rounds per gun.

This is a mod of Erwin_Hans Taiwanese Mirage2000-5.
 
When the Mirage 2000 came to the squadrons the first 37 jets still had the weaker engine M53-5, the originally only for export intended radar RDM and no air refuel probe. From the 38. jet they got the more powerfull RDI radar and the M53-P2 engine. This mod represent the first version of the french Mirage-2000C, called Mirage 2000C1
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Changes: - weaker engine to represent the M53-5
- other Radar and weaker avionics
- i use the F-15A cockpit which is the closest available to the Mirage2000 cockpit
- new skin
- changes in the Flightmodel to overcome the tendency to overroll and by using the autopilot to overpitch while landing approach

TAKR Orjol
 
In the 70th the Soviet Navy had a high ranking aircraft carrier project (project 1153 Orjol). It was cancelled by Marshall Gretschko who favored the baby carriers of the Kiev class.
Searching the net for information i found, that the Orjol was planned as a counterpart to the american attack aircraft carriers with similar design and a tonnage between 70.000 and 80.000 tons.
Thatswhy i used the stock CV-63 of WOE for making the Orjol carrier.
 
 
INSTALLATION
 
Simply unzip all files into your WOE/objects/GroundObject folder
 
Thats it.
 
 
Orjol will work without problems in WOE and WOV. For using in SFP1 you must extract the files
CV-63.lod to CV-63_lod006.lod from objects.cat of WOE or WOV and copy them into your Orjol folder of SFP1.
 
 
 
Hope you enjoy it

Leopard1A5    delivered by Germany
Leopard2A4    delivered by Canada, Spain and Norway
T-64B        original ukrainian tanks, former soviet
T-72M1        delivered by Czech Republik and Poland
For Russia:
T-72B        former soviet
T-72BV        former soviet
The T-64B, the T-72 and the Leopard1A4 are repaints of the stock files made by TK.
The Leopard1A5 is a repaint of the tank which made Gabilon.
The Leopard2A4 is a repaint of the tank made by Kesselbrut.
Alle LOD files are low poly, which reduce the workload of the computer. With my new made skins the tanks are looking good enough.
The tanks are set for a timeframe from 2022 or 2023 onward. They will not appear earlier in the game.
I have adjusted the values of the armour to make it more real. I also devided the hull of the tanks into two parts. The upper part has a better armour protection and the lower part a weaker armour, as it is in reality.
Example for calculation of armour thickness:
T-72M1 has a frontal hull armour of  3 layers of steel ( 50 mm inner plate, 60 mm outer plate, 30 mm add on plate) and one layer of Textolit (105 mm). Since Textolit has only effect against HEAT i use only the steel value to calculate.
The formula is  x= nominal thickness / cos(angle of armour plate)
so we come to   x= 140 / cos (68°)   ==>  x= 373,73 mm  ~ 374 mm

Persian Gulf Terrain -------------- Beta 0.5--------------------------
*****************************************************
 
This terrain is written for SFP1, but should work properly with WOI,WOV and WOE.
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
I. Short description:
 
This terrain covers the most parts of the Persian Gulf from Strait of Hormuz to the oil fields of Bandar e Khomeni. It includes the coastal region of the Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar and the coastal region of Saudi Arabia. Kuwait and Iraq are NOT included in this terrain, because an other terrain (Desert Storm) is already covering this area.
At the moment Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the western part of Iran are ready for action in this terrain. Ground combat you will see on iranian soil, mostly in the Busher area.
At the UAE and the eastern part of Iran only airfields are operational, no other targets. This will come with the next update.
The tiles of the street network are only placeholders. I'm not satisfied with them. They will also replaced.
There are some other issues which still have to be done. Dont forget. Its a beta release at the moment.
 
Improvments of Beta 0.5
1. 312 target areas instead 175 in Beta 0.1
2. Iran is nearly finished. Rivers, towns, villages, bridges, some factories, ports, oil fields, Scud launchers, coastal defence missile launchers are set on the map. A SAM network around Bandar Abbas in the southeast of Iran ist installed now
 
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
II. INSTALLATION:
 
Unzip all files into your StrikeFighters/terrain folder.
Put folder Silkworm into your objects/groundobjects folder.
 
Thats it.
 
 
Q: What is to do to make it usable for WOI,WOV and WOE?
 
For WOI open file Persischer Golf.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\desert\desert.cat
with
CatFile=..\IsraelME\IsraelME.cat
 
For WOV open file Persischer Golf.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\desert\desert.cat
with
CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat
 
For WOE open file Persischer Golf.ini with notepad editor
overwrite line
CatFile=..\desert\desert.cat
with
CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat
 
Then you must download a tileset which is made for SFP1 desert terrain and install into the Perischer Golf folder. Be aware, that there are 19 new tiles, so that your terrain could be look something strange.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
III. Credits. I want to say thank you to all guys who helped me to create the PG terrain, and made the new ground objects like cars, fireengine, floodlights, run- and taxiways ...

Rio de la Plata terrain version 1.3
*****************************************************
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This terrain is written for SF2NA and SF2E or SF2I.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I. Short description:
This terrain covers the Bay of the river Rio de la Plata. South of this bay we find Argentina, north of it Urugay and Brazil. East of it is the Atlantic Ocean.
The timeframe of the terrain is from 1980 to 2020.
It is made as a NavalMap with carrier vs carrier operations in mind.
The scenario is, that in 1982, the Royal Navy answered the argentinian invasion on the Falkland islands with sending a Naval Task Force toward Buenos Aires and landing troops on the shores of Argentina.
Thatswhy you find a big british beachhead on the map.
You can fly following missions for the British and their allies, the Brazilians:
SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,RECON,CAS,Armed_Recon
For the Argentinians you can fly this missions:
SWEEP,CAP,ESCORT,INTERCEPT,STRIKE,SEAD,ANTI_SHIP,CAS,RECON
New in vesion 1.2:
- number of target area increased from 37 to 47
- all target areas are now fitted with objects. Factories, warehouses, commbuilding etc.
- Airbase Tandil moved 75 km westward. It is not yet at the correct position. I fear, that if the base is placed at the correct position, the AI would not use it, because it is to far in the west.
- At the former position of Tandil Airbase i placed a temporary aifield.
- I added the river Rio Paradana and the neigbour rivers.
- I relocated Montevideo and the Montevideo Airport. The airport is completly new made.
- I reworked all rivermouth tiles, enlarged them to 1024x1024 pixel size.
New in version 1.3
- number of targetareas increades to 82
- a lot of new factory target areas for Argentina
- included uruguayan airbases
- included static Cessna for airfield "population
- included some goodies

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
II. INSTALLATION:
To run this terrain you need SF2NorthAtlantic and SF2 Israel or SF2 Europe.

Unzip all files into your saved game folder ...ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2XXXX

Thats it.

If you have SF2Europe installed you must do nothing more.
If you miss SF2E and have SF2Israel you must open file

Socotra 1.0
*****************************************************
This terrain is written for SF2NA and SF2 Israel.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I. Short description:
Socotra is a relativly big island on the shores of the Horn of Africa. It belongs to Yemen.
Socotra is an ideal position to control all shipping lines between the Mediterranian Sea and the Indian Ocean.
The power who controls Socotra can easily block the oil support from the Gulf to Western Europe.
Socotra is the cork in the bottle neck, like Djibouti, the Suez Canal or Gibraltar.
From mid 1960th to the fall of the Soviet Union, the soviets had an airbase on Socotra. In the 1980th on the base one regiment (squadron) of Su-24 bombers was active on Socotra.
This terrain is made for a scenario that the Americans must defeat the soviet forces on Socotra island. They had to operate from carrier positions in the Gulf of Aden. For all guys who love to fly Air Force planes i made a temporary american airfield in Somalia.
In the timeframe, where the soviets have no own carriers the single missions are focused on Socotra island. When the soviets field carriers the terrain is mostly focused on carrier vs carrier battles. So, if you prefer carrier vs ground battles you must choose missions before 1976. After that date you will have to fight Kiev carrier battle groups.

Donbass Beta 0.40
*****************************************************
Southern Ukraine and Crimean Peninsula Terrain

THIS IS STILL  A BETA VERSION!!!!
============================
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This terrain is written for SF2E. It works well with SF2NA.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I. Short description:
The south and the east of the Ukraine are battlegrounds in mid 2022. At the moment nobody knows how the war will end.
This terrain covers the most parts of the Ukraine and some parts of the Russian Federation. But only the southern war theater and the crimean peninsula are included in this terrain so far. Airfields and some other target areas are placed on the map. Further improvements will come.
I made the airfields in their shape as realistic as possible. Only 3 airfields are more or less freestyle.
At the moment the terrain is made for scenarios around the Crimean peninsula. Offensive operations are more focused for the ukrainian side. In ukrainian strike missions you can fly against airfields, factories, depots, Sewastopol harbour and support facilities and a dense SAM network.
For the russian side you can only fly against enemy airfields.
At the moment possible mission types are:  Sweep, CAP, Escort, Intercept, Recon, Strike and SEAD missions.
The terrain is set as NavalMap=FALSE, but it is prepared for NavalMap=TRUE. If you use SF2NA as basic game you may change the setting, so that carrier vs carrier operations will be possible.
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

To run this terrain you need SF2NorthAtlantic or SF2 Israel or SF2 Europe.

Su-20 Fitter-C
 
***************************************************
I .Credits
***************************************************
This is a mode of AmokFloos Su-17M Fitter C. Florian, thanks for the permission to use your files.
The Cockpit is the excellent Su-7BM cockpit made by Boopidoo and Kukulo.
 
My little share was to do some modifications of the Data.ini. I deleted the guided weapons, added armour, modified the decoys and made a fictive egyptian Su-20 skin.
***************************************************
II. Su-20
***************************************************
The Su-20 was the export version of the early Su-17. It had simplyfied avionics and was thatswhy unable to use high developed weapon systems. But it had high survival capabilities. The very robust Ljulka engine was able to "eat" some birds and in one occasion a complete pitote tube without to suffer damage. While life firing tests in the USSR the tanks of the swing wing Fitter were rippled by 12.7 mm bullets with the only result, that the technicians found the bullets "swimming" in the fuel.
The Su-20 was used by the Egyptian Air Force during the 1973 war against Israel (Yom Kippur war, Ramadan War, October War)
