Just to let you guys know that this should be compatible with the WOI F-15A too. You'll need to rename the .bmps and the path in the decals.ini

Sundowner did an Egyptian F-4E skin. It's at C5's site http://column5.us/skins/GUESTS/sundowner/F4E_Egypt.7z Did this Egyptian F-16 package from Gepard get mentioned yet? http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=2027 If you're still interested in the Israeli order of battle for Suez 1956, here's what I put together from Bill Norton's Air War On The Edge: IAF Order of Battle - 29 October 1956 (Including French units based in Israel with bogus IAF unit designations in parentheses) Eilat 100 sqn 4 x Cub - flight D Hatzor 101 sqn 49 x Mystere IVA (incl 1 x photo-recce, only 34 operational) 113 sqn 29 x Ouragan (7 x u\s) Lod (200 sqn) 18 x F-84 (French detachment) Ramat David 69 sqn 2 x B-17 100 sqn 4 x Cub - flight B 105 sqn 13 x P-51 110 sqn 13 x Mosquito FB.6 & TR.33 119 sqn 3 x Meteor NF.13 (1 x u\s) (199 sqn) 18 x Mystere IVA (French detachment) (201 sqn) 12 x Mystere IVA (IAF assets flown by French pilots) Ramleh 100 sqn 15 x Cub - flight A 147 sqn 25 x Steaman Sde Teiman 100 sqn 11 x Cub - flight C 140 sqn 22 Harvard Tel Nof 103 sqn 6 x C-47, 19 x C-47 leased from France, 2 x C-47 mobilized Arkia passenger planes, 3 x Noratlas (203 sqn) 8 x Noratlas (owned & operated by France) 115 sqn 3 x Meteor T.7, 2 x Mosquito PR.16 (photo-recce unit) 116 sqn 16 x P-51 117 sqn 11 x Meteor F.8 & FR.9 (5 x u\s) Flying School 25 x Harvard, 38 x Stearman Hope it helps.

Gotcha. BTW the AA-6, 10, 11 and 12 series of Sov AAMs don't appear to be in the pack. If you want Mig 25s and 29s and Su 27s to have the correct armament your going to have to bring them in yourself.

An embarassment of riches with this update: The Mirage Factory have brought us multiple versions of the F-4E Kurnass, the RF-4E and a WOI weapons pack too! Pancho has completed his trilogy of 'filler campaigns' with his War for the Water, covering 1963-67 Kout has produced an essential new mainscreen for WOI All linked on the list.

So just to clarify, if I've been using the MF weapons pack in WOI and adding individual weapons from Buny's pack, I should now delete my weapons folder and install the WOI weapons pack?

Thanks very much for these and the other WOI goodies guys.

Looks like something out of Warhammer 40K

Looking at Wiki they are still in service! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Air_...craft_Inventory This website also lists MiG-21MFs as being operational http://www.scramble.nl/eg.htm

No problem. case solved. NEXT!

Glyn, Can you navigate to the EAWEuro terrain folder (within your main terrains folder) and see if there is a file called EAWEuro_BRIEFING If it's there then I don't know what the problem is. If it's not then download the mod I linked to above and copy one of the briefing files over to your EAWEuro terrain folder, change the name to EAWEuro_BRIEFING, and copy in this text: [HEADER] From=FM: NATO COMBINED OPS CENT BONN WEST GERMANY To=TO: %s %s WG [sITUATION] Base=In direct response to the attacks on West Germany by Warsaw Pact forces, U.S.-led NATO forces are fighting in the region to stabilize the situation and to safeguard the government of West Germany. FriendlyOffensive1=Elements of the %s are preparing to conduct an offensive to seize strategic objective near %s. FriendlyOffensiveEnd=%s has halted their recent advance at %s and are consolidating their defensive position. EnemyCounterOffensive=Intel believes the enemy is preparing for a counter-offensive to recapture %s. EnemyOffensive1=Intel believes enemy forces are currently transitioning from defensive to offensive posture and expect them to conduct long-range reconnaissance operations into %s. EnemyOffensive2=Enemy long-range reconnaissance activities have been reported near %s. Intel expects them to launch offensive operations into the area within the next 24 hours. EnemyOffensive3=Intel reports indicate enemy %s is about to launch an offensive to seize %s. EnemyOffensiveEnd=The enemy forces have halted their advance and are forming defensive positions near %s. FriendlyCounterOffensive=Elements of the %s is preparing to launch a counter-offensive to recapture %s. CAS=%s is tasked with providing close air support to the friendly ground forces. Default=Your squadron is on station to provide combat air patrol, close air support, and aerial reconnaissance as needed. [DefaultUnitNames] PlayerSquadron= FriendlyGround=1st W.German Panzer Div Then you should be OK. Let us know how you got on.

Wrench, I think the problem here is before GlynD even gets to fly. This mod may help, although I thought the EuroEAW terrain already included a briefing.ini file http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=4044

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=2088 Is this what you're looking for?

List updated for the latest mods: F-15I and F-16I - thanks to USAFMTL and team C-130H skin thanks to Hrntfxr and Dels WOI campaign expansion - thanks to Johan War of Attrition and Golan Stalemate campaigns - thanks to Pancho

Ok - that'll teach me to post before trying it!

Nice skin Jim. Just one point though, the only time I've ever seen Israeli C-130s with the Israel Air Force markings on the forward fuselage is at airshows. The operational birds don't appear to have them. Is there any chance you could do a version of the skin without these markings? No big deal if you can't.

OK, links for all of the available aircraft are now in place. I'll be doing the skins next, and then the other available mods. The new War of Attrition campaign by R. Lee "Banger" Sullivan is now available. It nicely closes the gap between 1967 and 1973. It also got me thinking... With various people working on the 1948 era and the 1956 Suez/Sinai campagn and the imminent upgrading of the ultra-modern F-15I & f-16I, it should be possible to create similar campaigns to fill in the periods between the other wars. And if this is the case, could this become the first sim available to span 60 years of continuous air warfare? And from this...how about a super-campaign spanning the full period? You join say, 101 squadron flying Avia S199s in 1948, and upgrade through Spitfires, P-51s, Mysteres, Mirages, Neshers, Kfir C1, and C2 to complete the campaign on the F-16C or F-16D in 2008. Bet you would have some war stories when you finally retired!

Just reporting that this has been moved to the aircraft downloads instead of the skins section.

You might want to include something in the readme files about extending the game period for WOI, as these planes have start dates after the game finishes in 1985. The F-15I is 2002 and the F-16I is 2003.

No problem Dave.

I added the F-16I v2.0 last night to WOI, putting all the folders in the download into the correct places, but the overwing CFTs don't show up in the loadout or on the plane. Any help woul be appreciated. Thanks

You betcha! But we'll need the modern stuff too. I had one of the guns on an A-4 jam last night in the middle of yanking and banking with a Syrian Mig-23 after plastering an airfield. I decided discretion was the better part of valour and made my excuses - tree top level all the way home. Don't know about the EAF, but the Israelis had NF13, T7, F8 and FR9 in 1956. I'm working on typing up an order of battle dated 29 October 1956 from Air War on the Edge tha I'll post tonight or tomorrow.

Is it worth putting together a WOI weapons pack, with just the stuff relevant to WOI? We don't need all of the nation-specific weapons from the big weapons pack except for Israel and any of the arab countries, but we do need some WW2 stuff and some of the later 'weapons' like the Israeli camoflaged A-4 hump and F-4 tanks, the F-16I CFTs and the Popeye missiles, plus there will be relevant stuff in the MF weapons pack too. IMHO it's too much to ask the hopefully huge influx of new community members coming in on the back of WOI to try to cull all of the relevant stuff from so many sources themselves, merging various packs etc. I know I'm having trouble and I've been doing this a while!

I'm in. Thanks for hosting the party Kevin. I can provide Israeli orders of battle from 1948-2001, as well as individual squadron details (number, name, dates, bases, aircraft). Oh, and some decals too if anyone needs them.
