WW2 PTO PV-1 Ventura (Early)


SF2 WW2 PTO PV-1 Ventura (Early) by Veltro2K        8/30/2014

 -- Something for the WW2 PTO players --

= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =

**Note: This mod will -NOT- work in 1stGen game installs at any patch level.A Full-5 merged is reccomended.**

This is a the release of Veltro2K's =NEW= Lockheed/Vega PV-1 Ventura USN Patrol Bomber. This represents the early "glass nosed" version as used in the PTO.  

There are 4 skin/decals set(s) in the package:

USN (42-43, NS Blue over NS Grey, star-and-ball)
USN43 (star-&-bar, 3 tone)

and

RNZAF (overall blue/grey mid-war light blue roundels, as used from Henderson Field)
RNZAF43 (overall blue/grey, roundel-and-bar)

The skins use the SF2 "date switch", and will change in approx September, 1943

Although the US Navy skins are tagged for VPB-138, they are representative of pretty much ALL USN PTO Ventura units from Australia to the Aleutians.
The RNZAF skins, while tagged for No.3 Squadron, are also fairly representative of NZ units in the SoWesPac regions of the PTO.

All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. Serial number/BuNums are accurate for the model depicted, but should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they reprsent no specific unit. Lighting is as accurate as possible, given the lack of pictures of the bottom.
Engine sounds, pilot figures, and skin-specific Hangar Screens are included. Weapons, guns, bombs, etc, are NOT; you should have them already.  Operational service dates are rounded to 'whole months', and ARE relatively correct for ALL in-theatre usages.

When in game, you'll see

PV-1 Ventura (Early) (v2k)

on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu. As different versions are planned, this will help keep them diferentiated, so to speak.

As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!  

Happy Landings!!

Nice model, thanks Veltro!

 

Did the Ventura have 2,675 hp engines? I don't think so - the early ones had 1,850, and later 2,000 at most.

Makes it easy to fly, though, with all that extra power.

well, here's an idea ... why don't you rebuild the engine section to "spec"?? And post it for everyone to use
