Allied Aircraft

READ-ME!
 
 
This is an inclusive read-me file for the WWII Aircraft pack.
Unzip the pack to your Objects folder.
 
Make sure you have a Nations.ini file that has the entries for Nazi Germany and Japanese Empire or these planes will make your game crash.
These planes run fine on my system and several dissimilar test systems so if you have problems with them, you're on your own.
They are provided as-is with no support what-so-ever.
If you find you don't like them, that's what the Delete button is for.
There will be no changes, improvements, or upgrades to them EVER so don't even bother asking.
The skin templates will be uploaded as a pack just like the planes.
You are free to repaint the planes and do with the skins you create as you please.
 
YOU ARE NOT FREE TO REDISTRIBUTE THESE PLANES IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, FORM, OR FASHION.
YOU ARE DAMN WELL NOT FREE TO CHARGE FOR THEM OR TRY TO MAKE MONEY WITH THEM IN ANY MANNER.

Update v2.0
 
The P-51 Mustang is one of the great fighters of all time. It was the premier escort fighter of World War II, guarding bombers on missions deep into Germany and back, and was pressed into service again in Korea, this time in the ground attack role. This version of the P-51D for SFP1 includes a new flight model by Wolf-257.

Superfortress Pack v1.5
 
=========================================================================================
 
INSTALLATION :
 
1. Drop the folders called "B-29B" and "Washington B.1"into your "Aircraft" directory.
( Strike Fighters/ Objects/Aircraft or Wings Over Vietnam/Objects/Aircraft )
 
2. Open the "Add To Sounds" folder and drop the two .wav files into your Sounds Folder.
 
3. You should have the most current weapons pack installed, as well as the latest patch.
( Strike Fighters SP3.1 standard, or WOV Patch 2 standard )
 
 
========================================================================================
 
NOTES:
 
A. MontyCZ's original release of the B-29 was as an AI Only aircraft. There are reasons for this
in that SFP1 currently doesn't support heavy bombers targeting systems. However, sim pilots
( being what they are ) will want to take these birds for a spin. To this end, the config.ini
has been modified to use an A-4B cockpit, so these birds are flyable. The data.inis have been
modified so that the Copilot is not visible ( preventing the disconcerting image of the
copilot hanging out in space while you're flying ).
 
B. There are a number of minor errors: the Washington B.1's upper forward turret should have 4 .50s
visible instead of two barrels visible on the model. The extras guns are there in the data.ini.
The tail gun position on the B-29B should have the 20mm barrel showing ( it's in the data.ini ).
You have the extra guns, they just don't show.
 
========================================================================================
 
ISSUES:
 
1. Monty's original release was AI only. I have adjusted the planes so that the A-4B cockpit can be used.
Currently, there is both a B-29 cockpit & a working bombsight mod in the works. Until such time as they
are released, consider the A-4B pit as a placeholder. You will need to enable the copilot to be seen in
the data.inis when you upgrade to a new cockpit.
2. On some terrains, the friendly airfields will not be long enough in order for the B-29s to take off. I
have changed the minimum base size from LARGE to MEDIUM in order for the B-29s to be compatable with more
terrains. This can be adjusted in the data.ini by changing this line :
 
MinBaseSize=MEDIUM
 
You can change the base size by replacing MEDIUM with either LARGE, or SMALL.
 
=======================================================================================
 
CREDITS :
 
1. Many Thanks to MontyCZ for kindly allowing me to release these mods of his B-29.
2. Hangarscreens by "The Wrench".
3. PropLoop4 is based on Pinch's PropLoop3, with the speed slowed & reversed to provide a "deeper" engine .wav.
 
 
Enjoy!

This is a Sea Fury add-on for "Strike Fighters: Project 1" and "Wings Over Vietnam". The models included represent an FB.11 as used by the navies of the UK, Australia, Canada, and the Netherlands and the denavilised export version, Mk.50, which was externally identical to the FB.11, with the exception of the removal of the tailhook, and was used by Egypt, Cuba, Iraq, Pakistan, and Burma.
 
Included are Gramps's skins for a British FB.11 on HMS Glory and an Australian FB.11 on HMAS Sydney and my skins for a Canadian FB.11 from HMCS Magnificent and an Egyptian and Cuban Mk.50.
 
Thanks to Gramps for his skins and support, Charles for the flight model and cockpit, Wrench for the hanger screen, and Anthony for three-views.

Douglas BT2D "Dauntless II" Version 2.0 - for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE WW2 PTO installs patched to 06 levels -ONLY-!!


Updated to Version 2.0, Uploaded 5/18/09!!


 

-- NOTE: this package is designed to TOTALLY replace my original release from 2005, in it's entirety!! --


 
This is a complete reskin and redecaling of MontyCZ's A-1H Skyraider into a "What If..." variant of it's predecessor, the BT2D "Dauntless II", had it been available for use in the world of WW2: 1946, in the Pacific Theatre.
 
This version, as stated above, replaces the original. It's gone through some updating, but still remains pretty much the same. All new decals have been created (and properly done THIS time!) with correct Modex, and new BuNums. The BuNums themselves are actually AD-1 series numbers, but as the BT2D was renamed in 1947 TO the AD-1, this poses no historical conflicts. A new skin, with appropriate weathering, based of new templates, is also included. Some other 'fixes' include the renaming of some bits in the data ini, so's they 'disappear' when not used, and the addition of more formation/running lights and a landing light.
 
The aircraft depicted in the mod represents BT2Ds of VA-19A, the first squadron to recieve them, and be carrier qualified (that part really is true), aboard USS Coral Sea in 1945.
 
This is a COMPLETE addon aircraft, with all necessary parts, including an excessively repainted version of the A-4E cockpit (it's the closest there is -- see NOTES below for alternates). For those not having the WW2 Weapons pak, the AN/APS-4 radar pod and 300 gallon AD Blue drop tanks are included.
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft has been tested ONLY in 2006 Patch Levels SF/WoV/WoE. Be advised of the existence of some handling issues prevelant in WW2 era and many Pre-Patch (ie: 06 level) aircraft being used in the post 08 patch enviroments. It is NOT reccomended for use in WoI or SF/SFG/WoV/WoE in these post 08 patch game installs. It is also NOT reccomended for use in the SF2/SF2:V new series. If you insist on doing so, you do so at your own risk. No support is available from me for any issues you may experience. You have been warned/advised...
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder somwhere, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions.
Also included, at the bottom of this document, is the Alternate History essay, telling the story of the Dauntless IIs use against the Home Islands.
 
Good Hunting!

This is first public version of famous B-29 Superfortress plane for Strike Fighters - officialy AI only. Enjoy it and please report bugs.
The first B-29 strike on a North Korean port took place on 13 July 1950. Within two months, FEAF Bomber Command had attacked all identified strategic targets in North Korea. The B-29 was also used for some close air support and tactical bombing missions....

F6F-5 Hellcat mod for SF/WoV/WoE - WW2 PTO Installs
 
This is a modifcation of Razor/Geo's F6F-3 'Hellcat' into the -5 used by the US Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific during 1943-45. I call this a 'representative' -5, as it is based on the -3, and still has the rear cockpit windows, which would not be present on the later -5 'represented' here.
 
This is a semi-complete aircraft mod, including all the necessary parts, =excepting= the aircraft LOD, to recreate the standard -5 day fighter-bomber . You =WILL= have to copy the "F6F.LOD" from your original Hellcat's folder to this one. It's highly reccomened you have the original, plus any weapons it adds, in you PTO install.
 
The cockpit is also NOT included, but a new gunsight and cockpit ini is, so you'll need to copy over the -3's cockpit as well. See 'Installation" below...
 
The skin is brand new, from a template created by me, based off the original tri-color that came with the -3 Hellcat. It represents's Hellcats from VF-3 aboard USS YORKTOWN circa early 1945. Weapons stations have been added for the wing-mounted HVARs, as well as the usual bombs and drop tank original built into the -3. My Hellcat Hangar and Loading screens have been included.
 
It is also NOT designed to be used in a WW2 style install of WoI, as WoI handles propeller aircraft -completely- differently, and they do NOT fly properly. You've been warned....
 
I've included Geo' original readme, please give it a look over. Remember: you MUST have the original F6F-3 Hellcat available at his site:

Avia S-199 for SFP1,WOX oct.08 patch by ID(io)T team
 
 
Historical note-(from Wikipedia)
Avia Company ,a branch of the enormous Škoda Works in Czechoslovakia built numerous Messhershmitt Bf-109G’s during the WW2 for the German Luftwaffe. After the war the major part of the construction line remained intact, and soon the Czechoslovakian Air Force put an order for Avia S-99, an exact copy of Bf-109G.
Under unknown conditions, the company run out of Daimler-Benz DB 605 engines andi it was decided to use an alternative type.Making an unfortuned -for many-decision ,the specialists managed to put the the Junkers Jumo 211 and the propeller of he-111 bomber to the existing Me-109 G airframe.This engine used by the Henkel He-111 bomber was heavier, used heavier propeller that caused torque and the final result was an aircraft with control difficulties .the new variant was named after Avia S-199 and an order for a new branch was made very soon .
Despite the aircraft's numerous problems and unpopularity with its pilots, it achieved fame as the first fighter obtained by the Israeli Air Force, for use during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Czechoslovak pilots nicknamed it Mezek ("Mule"), while in Israel it was officially known as the Sakeen ("knife" in Hebrew). In practice, the aircraft was more often called Messerschmitt or Messer (which also means "knife", in German and Yiddish).
Around 550 S-199s were built, including a number of conversion trainers designated CS-199 (armed) and C-210 (unarmed), 20 were purchased by Israel. The first flight took place in March 1947, and production ended in 1949. The last examples were withdrawn from Czechoslovak service (with their National Security Guard) in 1957.

Simply put S-199 and Piloter folders inside Aircraft folder in your install and the sound file inside Sounds folder.
 
IMPORTANT NOTICES:
1)this plane is meant to be a freeware for the beginning, don’t buy it from nowhere J
2)although the major part of these planes were used by the Czechoslovakian Air force, we didn’t have time to complete a skin L…please, contribute!!!!!!!
3)putting datas to make it fly more close to the real one, we discovered why it was named “mule”…..so, expect something more easy to handle. Of course, for the case that everybody knows, prop planes doesn’t work properly under “hard”mode…but even in medium mode, it goes great!

Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat

The P-47 Thunderbolt is among the greatest fighter-bombers ever built, and contributed immeasurably to the Allied victory in WWII. The N model was the final production model and served with Air National Guard units into the 1950s.

Grumman TBF-1 Avenger -- A Mod of the Dev A-Team's TBF-1C
 
This is a mod of the DAT's TBM-1C Avenger of WW2 fame, into an early war version, circa 1942
 
This is to be considered as an "incomplete" aircraft mod, due to the non-inclusion of certain files. I've NOT included the aircraft LOD file nor the cockpit folder. See below "To Install" for a complete list of the necessary parts.
You -MUST- have the DAT's TBF-1C to make use of this aircraft, as you'll be coping files over from it.
 
The new skin, from a completly redrawn template based on Gramps' original skins, represents VT-3 based aboard USS Saratoga (CV-3) circa August/September 1942, approximately the time of the Battle of Santa Cruz and the fight for Guadalcanal. All the panel and rivet lines have been redone, new decals created for 'plane in group numbers', aircraft designation, and BuNums for 24 aircraft. It can also be considered a rather 'generic' USN/USMC version, as most units carried no markings. Some USMC VMSB units DID use a 3-digit ID number, based upon the aircrafted BuNum, but that's a story for another day...
 
I've included all the inis I've modified, so you'll be copying the minimum number of bits. The data ini includes mods that remove the wing guns, and adds the single 30 caliber MG on the nose. Unfortunatley, the LOD still contains the postions of the 2 wing mounted 50 cals, so you'll have to suspend disbelief (or pretend they're broom handles stuck there to fool enemy fighters that they're real guns)
Surface search radar has also been activated. NEW damage tgs's have also been created (they can be used on any of the TBF/TBMs).
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed for use in SF/WoV/WoE -ONLY-, I have NOT tested it in post -8/28/08- patch WoI =
 
=This mod is designed for use with the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06, as it contains all the needed weapons . If attempting to use this aircraft with any other weapons pak, you'll need to add ALL the WW2 era bombs, torpedoes, etc. They are NOT included in this package.=
 
As you probably suspect, there's a highly detailed, step-by-step readme included, so you'd be wise to read it!!! And as always, the usual notes and comments and general nonsense....
 
Happy Hunting!

Douglas A-20A 'Havoc' mod for SF/WoV/WoE PTO WW2 Installs
 
While working on upgrading the targets for the New Guinea map, I realized we didn't have any of the very early model Havoc's as used by General Kinney's 5th Air Force. To that end, this little mod was developed.
 
It represents A-20A aircraft from the 89th Bomb Squadron (Light) of the 3rd Attack Group, based at Port Moresby in mid-1942. I've tried to match, with what few photos are available, the serial numbers and nose arts. The first 7 serials =are= actual aircraft that served in the South West Pacific theatre, and I've matched as best I can the nose arts used. With the exception of "Rebel Rocket", whose serial number I was unable to find. Altogether, you'll have serials for ~28 aircraft, which is probably more than General Kinney had working at any given time, in that early stage of the war.
 
These aircraft, even though they still have the glass nose, have been given the 'strafer kit' of 4 fixed forward firing 50 caliber machine guns. The bomb aimer's station is not used on these aircraft; the windows have been painted over. The 2 cheek guns have been removed; I've found no data indicating they were used.
 
There are 2 ways I've designed for this to be used
 
1) Just use it as another skin for the A-20C/Boston III. or,
this is the best way, and how I built it...
2) Create a new aircraft for USAAF usage. All parts (inis, skin, etc), excepting the aircraft LODs and cockpit folder are supplied for you to do this. A new gunsight tga has also been supplied for use. There's even a new hangar screen, too.
 
 
= =You MUST have the latest Weapons Pak to get the WW2 Weapons and Guns!! ==
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for detailed, step-by-step instructions for both choices...I didn't write it for my health, I wrote it make YOUR lives easier... There's also the usual comments from "General Notes", plus a list of sources and Thank Yous
 
Happy Hunting!

Curtiss-Wright Tomahawk, #54 Squadron, RAF, Battle of Britan, circa 1940
 
For SF, WoV & WoE ETO installs
 
What we have here is a skin representing RAF 54 Squadron, had it been given Tomahawks, instead of their real aircraft. This is a purely speculative skin, as the RAF didn't use any of their Tomahawks in the ETO in combat. (they went mostly to North Africa, me thinks), although several were retained for training purposes (mostly to train bomber gunners on shooting at enemy fighters).
 
This is a semi-complete aircraft, ready to unzip into your ETO/BoB or SWOTL install. All edits and modifications are already done (in most particular, the Ring-and-Bead gunsight, and associated cockpit mods). There are several data ini edits, mostly to operational years and loadouts, plus the addition of correctly placed running, formation, and landing lights.
 
** REMINDER: the 'Tomahawk.LOD' is NOT included, as per Wolf's wishes. You can get it in his WW2 Planes Pak available at CombatAce. Do so now, if you haven't already...you won't be sorry!!! **
 
Also included is a new 50 gallon drop tank, based on the IJAAF one from the Dev A-Teams WW2 Japanese aircraft. Full instructions on it's installation are also included.
 
Further, detailed instructions are in the enclosed readme. The only thing that's not, are the "Fictional Historical Notes". I just couldn't get my brain to work on those. Sorry folks...
So, please read the readme ... it'll make you life just a little bit easier
 
Happy Landings!

The AT-6D Texan is now available for download. This model was used by the Mosquito FACs early during the Korean War.
 
I don't have many references for this aircraft so I only included a generic skin. Templates are available for download if you wish to give it better markings.

Mod of F4U-1D into a fictional "What If..." for VMF-58 'Wildcards'. This is a complete aircraft; the skin is easily transferred to the F4U-4 for use there. Includes individual pilot names for all aircraft (30)
PLEASE read reame for install info and 'Production Notes'

This aircraft depicts a US Navy PB4Y-1. Special thanks to Pasko, Gramps, Starfighter and Kessekbrut for creating this beautiful Aircraft. Hope you guys enjoy.

F4U-1A "Corsair" mod for SF/WoV/WoE WW2 PTO installs
 
This package is a simple mod to the existing F4U-1 created by Wolf257. It will create a NEW aircraft, the F4U-1A, which the aircraft really is. This will differentiate the "F4U-1 Birdcage" mod of mine from each other.
 
The package contains ALL the necessary files to create the aircraft; various inis, etc, EXCEPT the aircraft LOD (the physical model) a NEW skin from my enhanced template, representing VF-17 "Jolly Rogers. I'm really surprised NO one has done this skin before!!! Individual 'plane in group' numbers, BuNums are incuded for 36 aircraft. Unfortunately, the 'tail art' is not. See "Notes and General Nonsense" below for explinations
A new Jolly Roger's themed loading screen is also included, as is the damage tga, a new gunsight tga, and my original Corsair Hangar Screen.
 
Full, detailed instructions are below in the "To Installate" section.
 
--YOU MUST HAVE THE BUNYAP WEAPONS PACK TO GET THE WW2 WEAPONS!! --
--- YOU MUST HAVE WOLF'S ORIGINAL F4U-1 INSTALLED FOR THE LOD!!! ---
 
This aircraft has been tested in SF/WoV/WoE and post-patch WoI (8/29/08). There still are some 'issues' with prop-plane flight models in WoI, but there has been a MARKED improvement!! You use it in WoI at YOUR own risk.
 
Yup, another highly detailified, step-by-step readme for you all to enjoy is included...aren't you glad I write these things?
 
Happy Hunting, You Pirates of the South Pacific!!
