SF2 WW2 SB2C-1 Helldiver Tweeks Pak
 
-- Something for the PTO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
Some tweeks, and a new skin for Veltro2K's recently released Curtiss SB2C-1 "Helldiver" WW2 USN dive bomber. It is to be applied to the aircraft package available at the following url:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/13772-curtiss-sb2c-1-helldiver/
 
This pak contains a brand new 3-tone camo skin and 'generic' modex number decal set. The skin iteself can be also considered generic, as all units, when the Helldiver first entered service, were painted in the 3-tone. Some, including -3 & -4 models, carried it until VJ-Day. However, after late 43/early 44, the "G" system of Air Group marking came into being. This pak does NOT contain any G-system markings. They can easily be added via decals ini tweeking. And probably will be, as time permits :) .
 
Included are Tweeked Data, loadout, and main inis as well as Sounds; weapons are NOT included. (excepting the drop tank). A brand NEW SF2-stye 'flight deck' hangar screen is.
The skin is in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.

SF2 WW2 ETO 53rd FS, P-47D Bubbletop Pak
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
This skin should have been in with the recently released ETO Bubbletop Jug pak (for Wolf's Jug), but I'd forgotten that I'd moved it to a storage folder. As I had to reskin it and make some new decals to replace Major Lee's originals (sorry Ken!!), here it is! It sorta 'fell through the cracks', and I apologize!
 
This pack contain the skin/decal set for the
 
53rd FS, 36th FG, 9th AF (NM only)
 
in early 1944 (pre-Invasion Striped). All new decals replace the originals by Major Lee, and Decal randomization set to TRUE. The NEW skin is in Jpg format. Serial numbers are 'generic' in nature, but are correct for the model/sub-variant depicted.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Major Lee's original readme is enclosed for historical purposes

SF2 WW2 ETO P-47 Bubbletop Pak
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*There is a possibility that this mod may work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. However due to the excessive modifications made to fit into the SF2 environment, not all features will be avaliable. As stated, reccomended for FUll-5 merged, as some decals referenced for the AdA skin use stock 3W decal callouts*
*Note X2: this mod is designed for use =ONLY= in the ETO envrionment. Specific versions for use in the MTO will be released seperatly, when required (and available!)*
 
Mods to Wolf257's P-47D Bubbletop Thunderbolt. This package "represents" mid production (-25) Jugs, of the 8th and 9th Air Forces, from the mid war to the end of the war time frame.
This is a FULL aircraft pak, designed to =REPLACE= any others you may have, with (pretty much) all the trimmings. This pack contains the following skin/decal sets:
 
63rd FS, 56th FG (NM only)
62nd FS, 56th FG (Camo, w/Invasion Stripes
377th FS, 362nd FG (NM, w/Invasion Stripes)
GC II/5 "Lafayette" (Free French)
 
Decal randomization is TRUE, and the NEW skins are in Jpg format. Nose arts for some are included, and are 98.6% historically accurate for the USAAF sets.
Weapons (excpeting bombs), pilot figure, and engine sound are included. A New 'box art' style Hangar, now fully SF2 compliant, is included for your viewing pleasure. 2 different Loading Screens are included; you can switch them to whichever you like better!
 
Any changes that have been introduced, are listed in the 'ChangeLog', in the "Notes" section.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Wolfs original readmes, when discoverable, are included for historical purposes. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Please READ the 'To Install" section after unzipping, but BEFORE installing for an important note about possible conflicts with other Jug mods. And, as always, full credits for those who's eariler mods I "borrowed" from (ie: Major Lee).
*Remember, these LODs are very old, and are released in "as is" condition.*

SF2 P-80 Shooting Star, World War 2: 1946 mod
 
= For SF2 (Full4/5 Merged ONLY)
- For WW2 ETO "Luft 46" & PTO "SWOTP" style installs -
 
**This mod will ONLY work in SF2 Game Installs.***
 
Mods to the KAW F-80 by ErikGen (re)create a "What If..." version for WW2:46 usage. This mod will REPLACE the version I built many years ago from the Pasko F-80. However, I DID reuse the decals (you all know how much I hate wasting good decals!!!), and actually had to remake a few. So, if you have the earlier 1stGen mod of Pasko's, you are instructed to delete the aircraft and decals folders. As stated, this replaces that one COMPLETLY!!
 
This is the complete aircraft, with almost everything you need! I didn't include any weapons (bombs, rockets, etc) other than the drop tank data inis, as the tanks are built into the aircraft LOD. The pilot figure you also should have already.
You'll find in this zip 3 skin and decal sets:
 
ETO:
336th FS 4th FG
487th FS, 352nd FG (Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney)
 
PTO:
416th Fighter Group (74 aircraft!!!) -historically, the furst unit to field them, post-war.
 
Given the "What If.." nature of the mod, the start service date is listed as April, 1945. This makes the assumption (oh!! that word!!) the Normandy landings did NOT succeed, and more jets were appearing in Luftwaffe service. So, 8th Fighter Command rushed into service the P-80A Shooting Star to counter them.
Same can be said for the PTO version; based on Okinawa for Operation Olympic, they can reach Kyushu fairly easily.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, the "Notes" section for other important stuff of interest.
 
Happy Landings!

*yes, even though 6 P-80s were touring Europe and the Med in 1945, they were NOT operationaly used. Given the speculative nature of the mod, it has been placed here, in "The What If.." hangar, and not into the WW2 aircraft downloads section. Enjoy!*

SF2 WW2 Focke Wulf P.II Jet Fighter by Timmy - A What If Luft '46 Mod
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged ( Full-5 Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*There is a possibility that this mod may work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. However due to the excessive modifications made to fit into the SF2 environment, not all features will be avaliable.*
*Note X2: this mod is designed for use =ONLY= in the ETO envrionment. A seperate skin for the MTO is included, but not 'activated'
 
Mods, rebuilds, and general 'messing with' for Timmy's FW P.II jet fighter, to bring it more in line with SF2 useage.
This mod is designed to REPLACE any 1stGen variant you may have in your WW2 ETO intalls. It is reccomended you delete the aircraft and decals folders of the originals, as to NOT cause any conflicts with THIS mod.
This package represents P.II Project, as a production model called "Ta-173" (I couldn't think of anything else!) as deployed in Western Europe and the Med. Skins/Decals in this pak are:
 
JG 1 Oesau
 
JG 2 Richthofen
 
JG27 Afrika, in a overall 'tan' desert camo (stored in a seperate folder inside the main aircraft folder called 'a-MTO skin'). It is suggested that this skin ONLY be used in an MTO-centric mods folder (it would look funny in western Europe!!)
 
Skins are in their original bmp format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. New damage textures are included, in DDS format.
 
A (semi) compliant SF2 FM was cobbled together from various sources. As always, while it works well enough, further fine tuning is required by Experten.
Sounds, pilot figures and weapons (R4M rack) are included, as well a new SF2 Hangar and/or Loading screens, in jpg format.
Mission tasking has been limited, due to the aircraft's rather short range.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Timmy's original readme is included for historical purposes.

Vought Corsair MK.2, RN Fleet Air Arm, by Mod Mafia/TMF
 
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: There is a distinct possibility that this mod =MAY= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs.
However, due to the excessive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment. End
Users ™ that attempt to do so, do so at their own risk. A Full 4/5 Merged install is
reccomened; at very minimum, SF2:V is required, as this aricraft references the A-1H's
destroyed model. Also, some of the SF2 only "switches" will NOT work in 1stGens.*
 
*Note #2: this model will REPLACE, in it's entirety, those using Wolf's as a base. You may
(well, should!) delete that mod completly; both the aircraft and decals folders. These, again,
will replace them.*
 
A brand "new" model that was never completed when Bpao passed away a few year back. I've been
fortunate enough to be allowed to complete his work, as a member of the Mod Mafia.
 
This is the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Corsair Mk.2 (with clipped wingtips) as seen 1943 and
later aboard RN carriers in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans.
 
Skin/Decals are included are for:
 
1842 NAS, HMS FORMIDABLE (during the time of the TIRPIZ raids; tagged as "Home Fleet")
1830 NAS, HMS ILLUSTRIOUS (tagged as East Indes Fleet or "EIF", with SEA style markings)
 
Both skins are in 'standard' Fleet Air Arm 2-tone camo.
All skins are in jpg format, Decal Randomization is TRUE. A new-ish SF2 'box art' style hangar
screen was (re)created for this aircraft. Damage textures are the old tga versions.
Decals are used for all markings, and Randomization is set to TRUE.
A user list is included; operational service dates have been rounded to the closest whole
month, even though this is a "Nationalized" , no-exported Royal Navy version.
 
The aircraft is fully carrier capable. The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystorke
™ of Shift/0. Like the other MM/TMF Corsairs, the wingfold operates via the "airbrakes" key.
All lighting is historically accurate. WW2 weapons (ie: bombs, rockets) are NOT included. You
should have them already. The drop tank is (as there were some slight adjustments to the F4U
Early 150 gallon tank, and this WILL replace the original from the USN versions), as is the
pilot figure and engine sounds (which you may also have already!).
 
When 'in game', you'll see
 
"Corsair Mk.II FAA (TMF)"
 
in the aircraft selection drop-down window. This will diferentiate it from any other Mk.IIs you
may (or may not) have.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read

SF2 WW2 Italian Aircraft Pak
 
= For SF2 (Full4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED!)
- Something for your MTO-Centric Installs -
 
**Note: Having SF2I Expansion Pak 1 is HIGHLY reccomended, as a few of the destroyed models referenced reach over to the stock destroyed C-47A. If you do NOT have Exp1, you will NOT have the burning wreck on the ground. You will have to locate some other destroyed model for use. Also, due to the extensive modifications to the cockpit and data ini, this mod will absolutely -NOT- work in 06 level 1stGen game installs. 08 Level 1stGens may have some issues, but this has not/cannot be tested by me.**
 
This pak contains a reissue of Veltro2K's WW2 Italian Air Force (Regia Aeronautica) aircraft. These are the complete aircraft, with various/sundry changes.
 
This pak contains:
 
Fiat CR.42 "Falco"
(will show in-game as "Fiat CR.42 Falco (V2K)" in game)
 
Fiat BR.20 "Cicogna"
Medium bomber
 
Piaggio P.108
Heavy Bomber (no name appears to have been given to it)
 
Sounds, weapons, guns are included. New SF-2 compliant Hangar and/or Loading screens were either converted or new builds for this pak. They are, for the most part the "box art" style.
The Falco has as many 1stGen skins as I could find, and they've been incorporated into this pak. Most skins remain in their bmp format, but have been slightly resized. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. User lists have NOT been created; consider these non-exported, RA use only aircraft.
 
See "Changes" in the Notes section for more details. When possible, the original release readmes have been included (LloydNB's Falco skins).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! =PLEASE= read the "Notes" section for the change list, and other important notations. Also, the Legal Statement has been changed with regards to these aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, it's advised you delete the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is designed to replace them in total.
 
**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. The source files have been lost, and there can and WILL be no modifications to the physical model. They 'are as they is' and you must accept them with this caveat in mind. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**

-Short Stirling
7 Squadron (Stir)
 
-Vickers Wellington
12 Squadron (12)
 
Skins remain in bmp format, decal randomization is set to TRUE. Almost all the original decals have been replaced (squadron codes, aircraft ID letters, serials on some, etc) with new builds or repurposed units from my stock of RAF codes. Almost all markings ARE decals. There are no nose arts. Damage textures are in DDS format. Weapons (the RAF bomb set and the 303 gun) are included.
All the 1stGen Hangar and Loading screens were either rebuilt to SF2-spec, or created new for this package. They are in jpg format.
 
The various inis make use of the 'hide component' or the 'open cockpit' statements to make sure the cockpits are where they're supposed to be. This, unfortunately, prevents their use in SF/Wo* games at the 06 patch level, as stated above. Flight modeling, for the most part, remains as originally issued.

A reskining/redecaling for Wolf's FW-190A5, recreate the SNCAC NC-900 variant. Approximately 120 of these aircraft were 'reassembled' from bits in service/repair depots/etc and used in the immedate Post-War period by the French Air Force. This is NOT a "What If..." aircraft.
Skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. There are 26 'serial number' markings for the tail. Use of my (patent pending) 'fake SqTail' Level 1 decal allows the game engine to assign it to 'Normandy Neimen', although in the 1945-48 time frame in carred the GC III/5 designation
 
Like the WW2 Luftwaffe Fw-190s, is share the same (semi) compliant SF2 FM As always, while it works quite well, further fine tuning is required by Experts.
Sounds, pilot figures, 'fake pilot' and pylons are are included, as well a new Hangar Screen. Guns use the 'standard' WW2 Luftwaffe cannon and machine guns; the French (AdA series) bombs, drop tank and ETC MER are not. They can be found with the other FWs, and the WW2 French Aircraft paks (for the bombs).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, the "Notes" section for other important stuff of interest.

SF2 WW2 Central Pacific Terrain Fix-It Pak
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (REQUIRED!!) =
 
** Note: This mod will =ONLY= work correctly in a WW2 PTO mods folders built FROM the SF2NA exe. This is only REAL way to get all the proper coding necessary for the operational CV Zones. It will absolutely NOT work correctly in any other versions, and most definatly NOT at all in SF/Wo* 1stGens at any patch level **
 
This relatively small pak contains the necessary inis, a new _water.bmp, etc to bring the WW2 Central Pacific Terrain (aka "The Marianas") up to SF2NA standards at the July, 2012 patch.
It uses several 'NA-only' switches, the LimitedNations=TRUE statements, and a new _water.bmp with semi-correct CV zones (I say semi, as for ease of play, as the map is divided east/west for IJN and USN, as opposed to the historical version, with the USN TFs west of Guam). The _targets.ini has been slightly reworked, to remove the static parked aircraft, allowing the Game Engine ™ to populate them automatically. Perhaps incorrectly, but populated nonetheless :).
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder or your desktop, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. It's reccomended you read the document through after unzipping, but BEFORE installing.
 
As always, the Notes and Other Nonesense section may make for entertaining and enlightning reading.
Please also read the New Standard Usage Discalimer, as it's been changed slightly to reflect a change in my policy. It's listed at the bottom, in the Legal Statement Section, with the URL back to the CA post.

It is designed for use on the recenly release SF2ish B-24D mod, available at the following url:
 
http://combatace.com...or-eto-mto-pak/
 
The skin is brand new, from my Home Grown Template ™, and is in jpg format. New serial number decals were created; they should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they don't accurately represent the unit, but DO represent the correct model variant depicted. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. There are NO nose arts.
 
As this skin IS Theatre specific to the Pacific regions, you'll have to do some editing after installing to the B-24D in your PTO-centric mods folder, and remove or rename the ETO/MTO skins.

C-141B Starlifter Replacement/Tweeks Pak
 
= For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 RECCOMENDED!!!) =
 
Some remods/tweeks/partial reskinning and new decals for the recently (re)released C-141B
Starlifter.
 
It is designed to totally REPLACE the C-141B in the Cargo Planes Pak, so you'll be deleting the
aircraft and decals folder OF the original (re)release, and replace them with these.
 
All the painted on markings have been removed, and new decals are used in their places. The
tail flash represents the 438th AW out of McGuire AFB. Many other small changes have been
effected; new avionics ini, lights moved (or removed), etc and so forth. Not a full and total
rebuild, just some tweeks for minor improvements. The partial templates I created/used for this
are included. Maybe someone will step up and give us a Lizard Camo.
The skins supplied herein are in jpg format.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read
them!!! Also, give the "Notes" section a read, in particular on operational usage.
The Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft.
 
**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that
cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**.
 
Happy Landings!

SF2 USAF/NATO/Western Cargo Planes by Veltro2K
 
-For SF2, Any and All-
 
This is a re-release of these aircraft, as some have stated a desire to have them again.
This pak includes all my reskins, decals, ini tweeks,etc, from the various "upgrade paks" I'd
released before the aircraft were disappeared.
This pak contains =ONLY= those aircraft used by the USAF, our Allies and other NATO powers. The
Soviet/Warsaw Pact transports are someplace else....
 
Included in this pack are:
 
C-141A Starlifer
C-141B Starlifter
C-5A Galaxy
C-17 Globemaster III
G-222 Spartan (called such in USAF service)
 
Some may be more complete than others, with regards to decals and such. Some are fairly
'untouched', and will need further decaling, etc. Some hangar and loading screens are NOT in
SF2 format, and will need redoing (meaning: I never got around to them!).
All the original readmes from the Upgrade Paks (I could find!) are included within this main
folder. I'd reccomend reading them, just for fun!
Skin and some decal templates (again, when I could find them!) are included. The decal template
is for the "ttag" decal, that is for USAF AMC usage.
This pak is quite large, as the skins remain in their bmp format. You can convert to jpg at you
convience.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read
them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations. Also, the Legal
Statement has been changed with regards to these aircraft.
 
For those that still have the original releases, you may not need to reapply this package. But,
to be safe, PLEASE check over your aircraft to be sure. Thank You :).
 
**These aircraft herein are re-released in "AS IS" Condition. There are/may be some issues with
the LODs that may not/cannot be resolved. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be
solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created. For now.**
 
Happy Landings!

F-20A/F-20B Tigershark ReMod Pak
 
=For SF2, Any and All (but Full 4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED!!)
 
- A "What If..." Aircraft Mod -
 
*Full 4/5 Merged reccomended, as the RAF skin make use of the stock 3W F-4M serial number and plane-in-group letters. You =MUST= have, at least, SF2:E as part of you game installs. If not, you'll have to find substitute decals for the RAF skins*
 
This is a re-release of Veltro2k's F-20 Tigersharks. This pak contains 2 complete aircraft, the single-seat F-20A and the 2-seat F-20B. Both are fully combat capable, however certain mission tasking is NOT assigned to the F-20B, due to hardpoint limitations, and the lack of an internal ECM suite (no jammer; chaff & flares included at no extra cost).
 
Skin/Decals included in this pack are (names in paranthesis are the actual folder names):
 
F-20A:
2 Tone Blue/Gray (2Tone - nation tagged as 'generic' -would be a good HAF skin!)
Air Superiority Gray (Gray - nation tagged as 'generic')
10th TFS, 50th TFW (Gray2)
1 Hikotai, JASDF Martime Blue (JASDF)
57th FW, Nellis AFB (Nellis)
ROCAF Gray (ROCAF)
92 Sqdn, RAF overall Gray (RAF)
92 Sqdn, RAF Grey Green (RAF1)
92 Sqdn, RAF Grey Green 2 (RAF2) -loviz markings
75 Sqdn RNZAF (RNZAF)
ROCAF Gray -no squadron- (ROCAF)
RSAF - Saudi Arabia (RSAF)
110th FS, 131st FW, MO ANG "Lindberg's Own" (MOANG)
114th FS, 173rd FW OR ANG (ORANG)
119th FW, ND ANG "Happy Hooligans" (NDANG)
159th FIS, FL ANG (FLANG)
Football City Air Force (FBCAF -from "The Wingman" series)
 
F-20B:
57th FW, Nellis AFB (Gray)
56th FW, Luke AFB 2 Tone (USAF)
 
Decal randomization is set to TRUE for all. Skin templates for BOTH aircraft are included, as are several decal templates. Skinners/decalers are ENCOURAGED! to create other users/markings/etc. Damage textures are in DDS format.
Unfortunately, the archived zip file for the original skin/ini mods was corrupted, and I was unable to retreive all the information from it about them.
 
When 'in game', you'll see
 
F-20A TigerShark (v2k)
 
F-20B TigerShark (v2k)
 
displayed on the aircraft selection drop-down window. This will differentiate these aircraft from any other Tigersharks that may exist.
 
No weapons are included, as it references (for the most part) stock items or those from the GunnyPak, or other aircraft mods (in particular, the JASDF EO bomb), but sounds are. The spine antenna & intake "thingy" created by Raven is included, along with the FakePilot needed to "attach" it to the F-20A.
The loadout ini makes use of nation-specific and start-year specific loadouts. Some even actually work as advertised. The included Userlists are correct; the countries listed were those that actually considered the Tigershark at one time.
The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0. The FM remains essentially the same, and REALLY needs MAJOR fine tuning by an Expert! (no, seriously! it can be a bit squirrelly at times)
 
This is a VERY large package (771 MG unzipped), as all the skins remain in their 2048x2048 bmp format (approx 12megs per map!). You can, of course, convert to jpg at your leisure. It's sorta suggested, ya know!?, for those with limited HD space.
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, the Legal Statement has been changed with regards to these aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, you need not redownload this pak; you should have everything within it already. But if you want too ... feel free to do so! :). There HAVE been several changes in several of the inis you may wish to examine, and add.
 
**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**.
 
Good Hunting, and Happy Landings!!

ps: the screenies are from the original release, and do not reflect the addition of the ADF blade antenna. Also, not all the included are displayed. The others are inside the zip.

SF2 WW2 PTO Mitsubishi G3M Nell Pak by Veltro2K
 
-- Something for the PTO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (ONLY!!!) =
 
*** Important Note: due to the use of SF2NA coding for the Naval Strike (aka 'Cruise Missle') usage, you MUST have built you PTO mods folder from the SF2NA exe. The torpedo supplied herein is set as a short range cruise missile, and will ABSOLUTELY NOT work in 1stGens at any patch level, and may not work properly in SF2 game installs withOUT SF2NA in the merged core files. Also, the use of 'open cockpit' and other statements in various inis preclude it use in SF/Wo* 1stGen games. Also, having SF2I Expansion Pak 1 is a must, as the destroyed model referenced herein uses the C-47A destroyed model. If you do NOT have SF2I Exp1, you'll have to find another desetroyed lod to reference.***
 
A re-release of Veltro's G3M "Nell" IJN attack bomber. Inside you'll find...
 
The original skin, overall green/light green-blue unders that I've tentativly identified as the Mihoro Naval Air Corps (later redesignated 701 Kokutai).
A NEW "quick and dirty" one by me, representing Chitose NAC (later 703 Kokutai), with 18 new 'plane-in-group/serial decals. It's also the green/blue-grey.
 
The skins are in jpg format, the orignal decals (17) are resued on the Mihoro/701 skin, and 18 new decal were created for the Chitose/701 skin.Decal Randomization is set to TRUE. All IJAAF/IJN weapons (bombs), including the NA-style semi-experimental 'cruise missle' torpedo. Pilot figures, and a 'new' engine sound from the AvHistory sounds set. Both the Hangar and Loading screens are brand new for this reissue.
 
To reduce the chance of conflicts with any other Nells you may (or may not) have, everthing is refered to by the 'v2k' suffix. So, when in game, you'll see
 
G3M2 Model 22 "Nell" (V2K)
 
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for the change list, and other important notations. Also, the Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft.
For those that still have the original release, it's advised you delete the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is desinged to replace them in total.
 
**The aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. The source files have been lost, and there can and WILL be no modifications to the physical model. It 'are as it is' and you must accept them with this caveat in mind. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created.**

SF2 WW2 ETO Fw-200 Condor Pak
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
**Note: Have a full-5 merged instal is reccomended, as the destroyed model referenced here reaches around to the stock destroyed AN-12. Also, due to modifications to various inis, this mod will probably -NOT- work in 06 level 1stGen game installs. 08 Level 1stGens may have some issues, but this has not/cannot be tested by me.**
 
This is a reissue of Veltro2K's Fw-200 "Condor" Maritime Patrol/Strike bomber. It has been partly reskinned and redecaled (KG.40 skin only) and had some tweeking done. The data ini contains several "SF2NA" only statements for Naval Strike and Naval Search. Be advised, a Full-5 Merged ETO mods folder, built FROM the SF2NA exe is reccomended!!
 
Skins remain in their original bmp format; new code letter decals (26; far more than usual Luftwaffe usage) and several NA-style ini tweeks. Decal randomization is TRUE. The KG.40-1 skin (wavy camo) remains as originall done by ?, and has no code letters. Other skinners are invited to 'fill in the blanks'.
Engine sounds, pilot figures, BRAND new Hangar and Loading screens (in SF2 jpg format) are included. Bombs are not; you should have them already. Operational service dates are rounded to 'whole years'.

SF2 WW2 ETO Westland Whirlwind Mk.1 Pak
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
This pak contains a reissue of Veltro2K's WW2 Royal Air Force fighter/bomber aircraft. These are the complete aircraft, with various/sundry changes. Remember, this is the WW2 fighter, NOT the helicopter!!!
 
This pak contains the original 3 skins representing...
 
263 Squadron, in early 1940 camo (dark earth/green)
263 Squadron, in 1941-ish camo (medium sea grey/green)
137 Squadron, (also in the MSG/Gr)
 
The skins remain in their original bmp format. All new decals have been created for Squadron Codes, plane-in-group letters, and serial numbers. Serial numbers should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent no particular squadron affiliation, but ARE correct for the Whirly. Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
The late RAF MSG/Gr camo skins use the "DefaultStartDate" switch to activiate in Nov, 1941. Operational Service Dates are rounded to the closest whole month.
All new Hangar and Loading screens, in jpg format, are included, as are new damage textures in DDS format.
New engine sound, pilot figure and the drop tanks are also included. Guns and Bombs are not; they're the standard "RAF" bombs, that you should already have. The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0.
The flight model is (slightly) more SF2-compliant than the original, but as always NEEDS further work by 'those with the know-how'.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for the change list, and other important notations. Also, the Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft.

SF2 WW2 ETO BoB Hurricane 1A, 303 Squadron Skin
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: it's quite possible it can be used in 1stGens, but this has not been tested. Those that
do, well, let me know if worked!! <grin>**
 
This pak contains the decals necessary to (re)create the Hurricane Mk.1A as used by No. 303
Squadron (Polish) during the Battle of Britain.
 
This ini/decal pak (as there's no skin included) is for Raven's Mk.1, available at the
following url:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/13646-sf2-ww2-hawker-hurricane-ia-etobob-by-raven/
 
As stated in the original aircraft release, it uses Brain32's "Multiple Use Skin Trik", and
references the skin maps and other decals included in the above pak. Therefore, NO skin maps
are included in THIS pak. So, you MUST have the original aircraft listed above to add this pack
to.
All that's really included in this pak are the inis, Squadron Code letter and squadron badge
decals. Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read

SF2 WW2 ETO Spitfire 1A, 603 Squadron Skin Pak
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
A new skin for the TMF/ModMafia Spitfire Mk.1A, representing 603 "City of Edinburgh" Squadron around the time of the Battle of Britain.
 
Like the original release of the TMF/MM Spit 1, it uses a pool of plane-in-group letters and serial numbers, so you MUST have to original release of the TMF/MM Spitfire Mk.1a to apply this pack to. The only thing different is the squadron code decal, XT.
 
If you don't have this Spitfire, it's available at the following url:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/13510-sf2-ww2-spitfire-mk1a-by-mod-mafiatmf/

SF2 WW2 B-24J PTO Skins/Decals Pak
 
-- Something for the PTO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
A new set of Theatre-specific skins for the B-24J Liberator by pasko.
It is designed for use on the recenly release SF2-ish B-24J mod, available at the following
url:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/13846-sf2-ww2-b-24j-liberator-eto-pak/
 
Obviously, you'll NOT be using the ETO skins in the Pacific.
 
Skins included in this pak are:
320 BS, 90th BG (OD/Grey), 5th AF - Jolly Rogers
371 BS, 307 BG (Natural Metal) 13th AF - The Long Rangers
 
The skins are brand new, from my Home Grown Template ™, and is in jpg format.Decal
randomization is set to TRUE. There are NO nose arts.
Serial numbers on 320th are 'generic' in nature, but represent J models. Serials marked with a
* (star) on the 371st ARE actual aircraft assigned to that squadron. Unfortunately, the only
listing I found was for aircraft 'lost on operations'. Remember that, and Honor Their Memory.
 
As these skins =ARE= Theatre specific to the Pacific regions, you'll have to do some editing
after installing to the B-24J in your PTO-centric mods folder, and remove or rename the ETO/MTO
skins.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please
read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a glance
