Israel 80s, lets do it!

nice find, gotta link? What about on F-15, F-4, and Kfir?
Published books by Weiss & Alomi
willfind links when not on a flipping iphone
most f-15 claims in 82 were with python 3 I think so thats a cert….needed adapters to carry them. -
F-15 = YES…most claims were with Python 3
https://ospreypublishing.com/israeli-f-15-eagle-units-in-combatF-4 = YES…One claim in 1982 with Python 3
https://ospreypublishing.com/israeli-f-4-phantom-ii-acesKfir = Very likely…but only have a photo with a Shafrir 2 from
“Its like Lightning”, A Conversation with a Kfir Pilot, Defence Update ep 55F-16 = Probably NO (Weiss R, Page 101 )
https://www.amazon.com/F-16-Netz-Israeli-Squadron-1980-1987/dp/9657220173Some other sources don’t agree with this (One Western 1993 source thinks it was integrated from 1989), was taking it as read because Weiss has had a lot of access to IAF squadrons over the years.

Sounds good. Kinda busy with work right now (als have to learn for my PPL). So progress is slow, but there is progress. Right now it’s a lot of digging with F4Browse cause I have to edit each hardpoint for each plane. I finished the Israeli planes (F-4, A-4, F-15, F-16 (A,C) however that wasn’t too hard with the data that Migbuster provided. Now I have to do the Egyptian planes where there is a lot less information, thankfully Nighthawk, Gza036 and many others provided a lot of data, not only Planes but ammount of planes, SAMs etc. So a huge Thank You to everyone that helped! Now it’s my turn to implement this data into BMS. So that’s what I’m busy with right now.

It’s all good, take your time. If I had to learn how to use F4Browse I would probably blow my brains out. I’m glad you’re the one doing it
My dream is an 80’s Israel with all authentic ground units too.
I think late 80’s is the most interesting match-up vs Egypt, since they have their F-16’s and Mirage-2000EM’s by that time.
For Syria it would be cool to simulate the 1982 Lebanon War

EGYPTIAN AIR FORCE
-MiG-23: Acquiredx16 1974, By 1975 all Egyptian MiG-23s had been withdrawn from active duty and placed in storage due to lack of USSR support; Sold 4 to China; 12 sit in storage during the 80’s
A number of these went to the USA to fly with the 4477th TES “Red Eagles”. I believe they had up to eight or nine MiG-23s including some BN models so I suspect at least 5-6 Egyptian Floggers made the journey to Tonopah.

Looking forward to this guys!!
-
Small question … Does this project continue? It would be sad if the development ended …:(
-
Well it’s on pause right now. Trying to join the German Airforce as a GCI so I had some Tests and evaluations. The Database is done. So now I have to build a campaign.
Will it be finished within this year? Most probably, yes.
-
Thank you for answer. And I wish you good luck in your life to get GCI …
-
Made some good progress today. The Israeli side is done (Planes+SAM), I might need to tweak it later on for the balance.
Also fixed the problem of squadrons moving as soon as the clock runs.

I fear the day RL pilots will have fieters in their headphones for the first time and plan to be out of the airspace on that occasion. While his spoken English is quite passable, from personal experience I know his “baud rate” tends to be extremly high so I guess he’ll hear “Go clear” many many times on his first shift
All the best,
Uwe

Just a little update:
I’ve been accepted into the German Airforce as an GCI controller :blowpar: . While that’s great for me , it’s bad for the project. So I have to tell you that the project is now on hold until further notice. In 4 days (October 4th) I’ll start my basic training and will be gone for 10 months. During this time I have no time to further develop/edit this theater. If requested I could upload the files I edited. -
So my best compliments to you, Fieters.
Good luck!
-
Any update here? I really want this.
My favorite BMS experience was “Battle for sinai” on falcon online in 2013, it was basically 1970s israel and it was the most intense BMS experience around. Really want more!
edit: nvm looked above and cried

Okay, I will upload it next weekend. Around Halloween.
