   AVG Skin Pack v1.1 - P-40B Tomahawk

   By Baltika

   AVG Skinpack v1.1
    
   For P-40 Tomahawk by Wolf257
    
   Thanks to Wrench for sharing his superlative Template, and for the use of his new, improved ring-bead gunsight and cockpit.ini file. Cheers Wrench ;-)
    
   Thanks also to Wolf257 for his AVG camo pattern which forms the base colouring of this skin set.
    
   Decals, .ini edits and so forth by Baltika. There are a/c numbers, tailcodes and squadron markings for 100 of the AVG Tomahawks. Where possible I have tried to match these up with actual serial numbers, but the sources of information are often conflicting.
    
   What you get are three separate folders, one for each of the AVG Squadrons, "Adam & Eves," "Panda Bears" and "Hell's Angels." Just drop the the 1AVG, 2AVG and 3AVG folders into your Tomahawk folder and you should be good to go.
    
   There is also a folder called "AVGKills" which also goes into your Tomahawk folder. This contains kill markings for up to 50 kills. If your pilot has more than that you will need to start a new pilot to get them to show up.
    
   You may want to add the following entries to your SquadronList.ini - what, you don't already have them. . . ? ;-)
    
   Add to SquadronList, renumbering from the last in line:-
    
   [squadronxxx]
   Name=1AVG
   DisplayName=1st Sqdn AVG - "Adam & Eves" - Sqdn. Ldr. Robert Neale
   Nation=AVG
    
   [squadronxxx]
   Name=2AVG
   DisplayName=2nd Sqdn AVG - "Panda Bears" - Sqdn. Ldr. John Newkirk
   Nation=AVG
    
   [squadronxxx]
   Name=3AVG
   DisplayName=3rd Sqdn AVG - "Hell's Angels" - Sqdn. Ldr. Arvid Olson
   Nation=AVG
    
    
   Also, make sure your NATION.INI (in the /Flight folder) has the following entry - I'm not sure if this is stock with the upgraded Nations Pack, or Charles' WW2 Formations mod, but here it is just in case:=-
    
   [Nationxxx]
   Name=AVG
   DisplayName=American Volunteer Group
   Alignment=FRIENDLY
   PlayerFlyable=TRUE
   Mercenary=FALSE
   PilotNameList=NamesUS.lst
   RankList=RanksUSAF.lst
   CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst
   Formation.Fighter=WW2USFighter
   Formation.Attack=WW2USMedBomber
   Formation.Bomber=WW2USBomber
   Formation.Transport=WW2USMedBomber
   Formation.Tank=USTank
   Formation.MobileAD=USAD
   PilotTrainingStandard=GOOD
   GenderRatio=0
   DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav
   DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav
   DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav
   SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat
   SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.cat
   Medals=MedalsROC.ini
   MedalTextFile=MedalsROC.str
    
    
    
    
   I have also included a new Flying Tigers themed loading screen from a "collage" I found somewhere on the web. Drop it into your Tomahawk folder and edit the Tomahawk.ini file to include the following line, replacing the old one, if you want to use it:-
    
   LoadingScreen=FlyingTigersLoading.bmp
    
   Unfortunately I can't find my note of the name of the person who made this so I can't give proper credit. Sorry! It was freely available for d/l on a "fair use" basis, so I don't think I am breaching their intention by including it here. If you recognise it, please let me know and I will add a credit, or remove it if the originator so wishes.
    
    
   You will also see a Ring-bead sight .tga and cockpit .ini which were built by Wrench, and are gratefully included in this package. Here's the instructions from Wrench's original Readme:-
    
   ****************************************************
    
   = To Install Gunsight/Cockpit ini:
    
   Rename your original Tomahawk_COCKPIT.INI by renaming it somehing originnal, like "ori_Tomahawk_COCKPIT.INI"
   Drop the new "Ring-Bead_Sight.tga" into the cockpit folder.
   Drop the new "Tomahawk_COCKPIT.INI" into the main Tomahawk folder.
   You're done. This will give you a nice, standard fixed sight (done in black, with a gold aim bead). It might take a little getting used to, but it's much more historically accurate, as the reflector sights didn't appear until the D model.
    
   As usual, I can be reached at the emal below, or on the SimHQ, Colum5 or CombatAce message boards. With thanks to Wolf for creating this bird, and to everyone else who has expanded our gaming experience into other times and places!
    
   Enjoy!

   That's all folks!
    
   Any problems, questions, complaints about these skins, you can get me at combatace. I am a fully signed up member of the "Fair Use" modding agreement at combatace, so feel free to modify these as you wish. Credit where it's due (remember the original template is by Wrench, The) and no payware, but otherwise these are fair game.
    
    
    
   Burma Air War 1942 campaign coming soon. . .
    
   Cheers,

   AVG Killmarkings

   By Baltika

   AVG Skin Pack for P-40 Tomahawk
    
   AVG Killmarkings
    
   by Baltika
    
    
   These are for use with the "AVG Skin Pack for P-40 Tomahawk" previously uploaded. Killmarks got left out of the original upload by mistake, sorry!
    
    
   Just drop the AVGKills folder into your Objects/Aircraft/Tomahawk folder and you are all set.
    
   Kill marks for up to 50 kills, so if your pilot has more than that you will need to start a new pilot to get them to show up.
    
   Tora! Tora! Tora!

   112 Squadron Tomahawk Mk.1

   By Wrench

   Curtiss-Wright Tomahawk, #112 Squadron, RAF, Western Desert, circa 1941
    
   For SF, WoV & WoE MTO installs
    
   What we have here is a skin representing RAF 112 Squadron as seen in Libya & Egypt during mid-late 1941. The serial numbers are actual numbers assigned by the RAF to their Tomahawks, some of which were (hopefully) assigned to 112's actual aircraft. ;)
    
   This is an update/upgrade to the original I released last year. This version is weathered, has rivets, staining, and a few other goodies, including new Squadron call letters and aircraft ID letters, in what I hope is the correct font.
    
   I claim no historical or mechanical accuracy as to the rivet placement; I'd originally started the project as an experiment to learn HOW to make rivets, and it sort of took off on it's own (pardon the pun)
    
   Also included is a new ring-and-bead gunsight (made by ME!!), and a modified cockpit ini to use.
    
   Full install instructions are in the readme.
    
   Happy Hunting!
