michael. To clear up some confusion:
Israel 1.3 is a terrain by Gepard and is the only really complete mideast terrain so far available (the only thing it is really missing are roads). It is the one that most people use and refer to, but sadly, so far, there is no campaign developed for it, so all you can use it for is to fly random and scripted missions (though there are some pretty good ones among the latter).
The Yom Kippur campaign was created early on by USAFMTL, our in-house campaign wizard. Because there was no dedicated terrain for the Middle East available at the time, he created one from scratch, but of course he didn't have the time on his hands to make it overly detailed. That said, it does use accurate satellite data and has a larger scope than Gepard's Israel terrain (it includes Cyprus and southern Turkey). This is the terrain called "Mid East", if I remember correctly.
