Tweeks for Veltro2k's Dewoitine D.520
 
This package contains some replacement files, a different cockpit, and a new gunsight for the rectently released French fighter.
 
Whats been done? Well, I swapped out the pit for something a little more contemporary (ie: looking like late 1930s/early 1940s), and didn't have side canopy framing. Some relettering and recalibration to metric units has also been attempted.
The machine guns have been changed to French 7.5 MAC, as seen on my AdA Hawk 75 and DB-7 mods, the cannon changed to the Hispano 20mm and round counts adjusted, all lighting has been adjusted and where needed, new ones added. The canopy has been switched over to use an animation key (shift/0) and not much else changed.
 
As always, its reccomended you unzip the package to a temp folder or your desktop to access the rest of this readme for fairly simple, easy to follow install instructions.
 
Happy Landings!

DH Mosquito NF.XII


 

- for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE WW2 ETO/MTO installs Patched to 06 Levels =ONLY=!!! -


 
This is a mod of Pasko's Mosquito FB.VI into the dedicated Nightfighter version, the NF.12. This is a complete aircraft mod, with all the necessary parts to unzip, install and fly away.
 
A new skin, based off the originals, from newly home-made, resized (to 1024x) templates represents aircraft from No.96 Squadron, RAF. New serial and 'call letter' decals have been created/provided for approx. 26 aircraft. The serials should be considered 'generic', as I was unable to ID any as used by 96 Squadron, but they ARE NF.12 serials.
A new, WoE-style hangar screen is also included.
 
The 'radar thimble nose' has been added via Fast Cargo's Patent Pending Fake Pilot method; weapons fit and mission statements have been adjusted accordingly. A new avionics ini is included to simulate the AI Mk.VIII radar (more below in the Notes section). A new 'slipper type' drop tank has been included, so warm up those weapons editors.
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed for use in SF/SFG/WoV/WoE, at the 06 patch level -ONLY-, It has =NOT= been tested in post-08 patch SF/SFG/WoV/WoE/WoI. It has also NOT been tested in the NextGen, SF2 series. You use it in these enviroments at your own risk. =
 
=This mod is designed for use with the WW2 Weapons Pak by me, as it contains all the needed weapons (excepting the new slipper tank) . If attempting to use this aircraft with any other weapons pak, you'll need to add ALL the WW2 era guns, bombs, torpedoes, etc. They are NOT included in this package.=
Reminder:
 

= MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE WW2 WEAPONS PAK !! =
= MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST, WW2 NATIONS INI IN YOUR FLIGHT FOLDER =
= MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST WW2 FORMATIONS INI IN YOUR FLIGHT FOLDER =


 
As always, it's reccomended you unzip this to a temp folder somewhere's thats easy to find. This will give you access to the rest of the readme for full, detailed install instructions and the Usual Notes and Other Ramblings...

Hawker Sea Fury F.10 mod for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE - WW2/Post War Installs


 

06 Patch Levels =ONLY=!!!


 
 
This is another of those mods that have been languishing on my hard drive for a loooooong time. I just figured, now's the time to finish it off, and release it.
 
This is a mod of the existing Sea Fury FB.11 into the earlier F.10 version, that almost saw action in WW2.
This is to be considereded as a "Beta ++" version, as there are most likely issues still remaining to be resolved (what they actually are, I don't even know!)
 
The reasoning behind the labeling as a "plus-plus", as there is a certain 'incompletness' about the aircraft. It's just that it was never actually finished when originally released, and therefore probably has some flaws. Meaning: the aircraft WAS originally released as a Beta, this mod moves it "up" one notch, to plus-plus. Confused yet? Good! Me too!
 
This mod creates a whole new aircraft, seperate from the normal Sea Fury FB 11.
 
This is a complete aircraft, with all items needed to pretty much unzip, install, and fly away. 3 Hangar Screens are included, one my Original Old Style artwork one, and a new WoE-style Carrier Deck with the historicl skin, and the What If BPF skin. All are usable in any verions of the sim. You can choose whichever you like the best. Although, right now it's set up for the Carrier Deck version, with the BPF 801 skined aircraft, as this is designed for a PTO WW2: 46 kinda thing.
The aircraft is fully carrier capable, making it usable in Campaigns or user-built Single Missions
 
The skin/decal set represents 802 Squadron, FAA, Royal Navy in late 1947/early 1948. This skin reflects markings of the immeadate Post-War time frame, with semi-historical serial numbers. I say semi-historical, as my data only gave me a few pictures to base off of, and from the actual production run of the F.10. These would be a good addition for a "Cold War Gone Hot: 1947" type of scenario.
 
And......
 
For you "What If..." players for WW2: 46 Pacific, a special skin for 801 Squadron, as would have been used by the British Pacific Fleet for the Reduction and Invasion of Japan. Assuming a hurried introduction, this adds another aircraft for the Fleet Air Arm to use. 1947 is given start year, in keeping with historical fact. Those wishing to create the 'rushed into production' feeling, may change the StartYear= to 1946. This may give you the opportunity to engage with the best the IJAAF/IJNAF had to offer, in the fictional world of WW2: 46.
 
-= NOTE: You MUST have the WW2 Weapons Pak to get the WW2 weapons and guns and such =-
-== This aircraft has been tested in SF/WoV/WoE Patched to 06 Levels, as well as post 9/08 & 10/08 SF/WoV/WoE/WoI. It has not, however been tested in the SF2 series. There still are some serious 'issues' with this aircraft's flight model. You use it in these Post Patch Environments and SF2 NextGens at YOUR own risk. It's reccomended usage is for versions of the game at the 2006 level ONLY. ==-
 
Simon's original readme is included, for historical purposes.

P-82B 'Twin Mustang'


 

What If... mod for WW2 PTO SF/SFG/WoV/WoE -06 Patch Levels ONLY!!!


 
This is a modification of Pasko's F-82G into something for the "What If..." worlds of World War II: 1946, in the Pacific Theatre of Operations. This mod will recreate the P-82B "Twin Mustang" Long Range Day Fighter version, had it gone into full procduction for use against the Japanese Home Islands.
 
This is a COMPLETE addon aircraft, with all necessary parts included. A new skin, based off the original templates, represents aircraft from the 46th Fighter Squadron, 21st Fighter Group, based at Ie Shima, Okinawa in 1945 till wars end. Colors and markings are historically correct for the 46ths P-51D/H Mustangs, just adapted for TwinMust useage, and the serial numbers are also correct for P-82B as they were assigned to the 380 aircraft that were cancelled at the (historic) war's end. Twenty actually entered service, but that's a tale for another day.
 
As can be expected, some small changes have been made; mostly to create a 'day-only' version. The avionics.ini has been edited to remove the search/track radar, while leaving the audio-only RWR intact. All lighting has been updated, with the addition of a landing light (albeit on the wrong strut...), and the 3 underwing formation/identification lights seen on all Mustang variants. The FM remains essentially intact as issued, although some tweeking is requied, as the aircraft seems about 50-75 knots slower than it's Real Life ™ counterpart. Other than that, it handles quite well!!
 
= 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 and eariler) 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 NextGen 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...
 
=IMPORTANT x2: You WILL need the WW2 Weapons Pak (or equlivant BunyPak of 06) to get the WW2 weapons, bombs and such. The P/F-82 rocket racks and drop tanks already exist in that pack, but have been included here as a "just in case" for those needing them for some other pack.
 
The WW2 Weapons Pak is available at CombatAce at the following URL:

This is a Russian Air Force skin for Monty CZ's Letov S-328.

This is a skin for Monty CZ's Letov Š-328.
 
The Slovak Š-328s carried out reconnaissance and bombing sorties in support of the Slovak participation in the Invasion of Poland in September 1939.
Following Slovakia's participation in the German Invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, Slovak Š-328s were used for anti-partisan operations in western Ukraine in the summer of 1941, being used again on the Eastern front in the summer of 1942.
Three Slovakian aircraft were seized by Slovak insurgents and actually flown against the Germans in late 1944 during the Slovak National Uprising in September to October 1944. (Wikipedia)

Grumman Martlet Mk. I/III Pak for SF/SFG/WoV/WoE - WW2 MTO Installs (06 Patch Level)


 
 
This is a mod of my mod of the F4F-3 variant, based on Pasko's F4F-4, as used by the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, the Martlet I & III. These these 2 marks were 'acquired' by the FAA from the French and Greek orders, they were never recieved by the countries they were destined for due to "an inconvient lack of a deliver point" (ie: overrun by the enemy). It is the standard, non-folding wing version, with 4 50 caliber machine guns. It IS fully carrier capable, and can be used in user-made missions or campaigns.
 
This is a brand new skin, using my home-grown templates (as also used on my USN versions), representing a semi-fictional skin for 805 Squadron, Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. I say semi-fictional, as this is designed to either compliment or replace the FAA 805 Buffalo that I did earlier in 2009; for those that can't get the F2A Buffalo, this will suffice. It carries the standard FAA camo scheme of Extra Dark Sea Gray/Slate Gray over Sky, as seen on other Martlets serving in the Middle East/Western Desert in 1940/41. New decals for serial numbers have been created; these ARE accurate serials assinged to Martlet I & IIIs, as taken over by the Royal Navy. Again; in this semi-fictional usege, they fit quite nicely.
 
This is a complete aircraft mod with all parts needed to unzip, install and fly away. REMEMBER: although designed for the MTO (ie: Battle for Crete, and Defense of Alexandria, etc), this skin IS perfectly usable for FAA Squadrons flying from English bases (ie: Orkneys, Scapa Flow, etc). BTW, the letters ARE for 805 when flying their Buffalos from HMS Eagle, during the Battle for Crete. They were all lost at Malme, Crete (well, there 3 or 4 that were really there...that is).
 
I have supplied an "alternative" cockpit ini, modified from Geo's F6F-3, for those that may want a more 'closer approximation' of the Wildcat's Real Life ™ pit. The cockpit is NOT supplied from the Hellcat, so you'll need to obtain it yourselves from Geo's site and transfer over the cockpit folder, and from this version, the "US_N-3_Gunsight.tga". Instructions for that are below, in the "To Swap Pits" section. In truth, THIS would be the way to go. It's much closer, and better looking than the original, which isn't a US Navy pit at all!!
 
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed for use in SF/SFG/WoV/WoE, at the 06 patch level -ONLY-, It has =NOT= been tested it in post 08 patch SF/SFG/WoV/WoE/WoI. It has also NOT been tested in the NextGen, SF2 series. You use it in these enviroments at your own risk. =

Douglas DB-7 Light Bomber, French Air Force, for SF/ WoV/WoE WW2 installs
 
This is a mod of the Dev A-Team's A-20C Havoc/Boston into an 'almost' earlier version for the French Air Force during the Battle of France. I say 'almost', as the original DB-7s had several physical differences to the later USAAF and RAF and everyone else's version.
 
NOTE: YOU MUST HAVE THE LATEST WEAPONS PAK INSTALLED TO GET THE WW2 WEAPONS AND GUNS
 
It should also be noted, you'll be adding a new machine gun, and 3 new bombs for the AdA. Warm up your gun and weapons editors!!!

With special thanks to Heck for creating the 7.5 MAC mg.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a PERMISSION aircraft ONLY!!! It is not to be included in any mods without express, written consent of the Dev A-Team. It is not to be shared in any other way!!

SBD-5 Dauntless, VB-10 USS Enterprise, Battle of the Marianas - For SF/WoV/WoE WW2 PTO Installs-
 
This is a semi-complete aircraft pak, based on Wolf257's SBD creating the later, and most produced version, the SBD-5. I say "semi-complete", as the aircraft LOD and the "new" cockpit folder are NOT included.
 
Modifications include the use of the cockpit (not included) from Geo's Hellcat, as it has the requisite look for a Navy aircraft, and the required reflector gunsight. Data ini mods include a slight upgrade in engine HP, and the 'fixing' of the rear gunners twin 30 mount. (see 'Note and Other Ramblings below for a full list of stuff), and some location tweeks to the 3 weapons stations (ie: raised them up a tad). Adjusted loadouts include the 58 gallon drop tank from Pasko's F4F Wildcat; these are identical in shape to those used on the -5 and -6 Dauntless.
 
A new skin, from my enhanced template, is done up in the "Tri-Color" of mid-1943 to early/mid 1944. It represents aircraft from VB-10 aboard USS Enterprise and/or VB-16 from USS Lexington II at the time of the Invasion of the Maraina Islands.
 
In this respect, it may also be considered a rather "generic" Tri-Colored Dauntless for the time period (albeit with some differences for some ships in how the parting line between the lower white-gray and 'intermediate blue' was done). As this was just before the "G System" of marking came into effect, it can be used for either squadron. Individual modex and BuNums for 38 aircraft are included. The BuNums are correct as they ARE for the -5 Dauntless, but I claim no historical accuracy as to if these particular aircraft were assigned to the squadrons in question. The 'holes" in the dive brakes have also been repainted, to clean up their lines. "Simulated" fabric texture covering the control surfaces has also been painted on.
 
A new -only available in this mod!!- WoE style carrier deck Hangar screen is included, as is the damage tga. My original early model loading screen, R.G. Smiths painting of the "Famous Five Minutes" is also enclosed. It's such a great piece of artwork, how could I resist??
 
-= NOTE: You MUST have the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06 to get the WW2 weapons and guns and such =-

Hawk 75A-C7, ML-KNIL for SF/WoV/WoE, WW2 PTO installs , Version 2.0 Original Releae Date: 9/24/07
 
** UPDATED 1/11/08: this new update corrects the markings on the upper wings (removing them), and fixes some other small issues. This package is designed to totally REPLACE the original from 2007**
 
This is a modification of Wolf257's P-36/Mohawk into the Hawk 75 export version, as used by several Allied nations.
 
It represents aircraft from the ML-KNIL during the opening days of the War in the Pacific, in the defense of the Netherlands East Indies (Java and Sumatra, for those that don't know)
 
This creates a country specific version for use in your World War 2: PTO installs ONLY!! As such, all the loadout have been adjusted to fit KLU aircraft of the time (ie: by being lazy and using the exisiting RAF bombs <wink>).
 
Everything is included; all the inis, cockpit files, new hangar and loading screens (both available ONLY in this mod) and my damage tgas as well. The LOD file is the newer one, as used on the French Hawk 75 and the recenty released USAAC P-36A Update Pak.
 
I've also adjusted the operational years; they historically were all destroyed by February, 1942, but as we can't add months yet, you get the whole year (1942 that is).
 
For this update, I left the hangar screen alone, even though it has the improper upper wing marking still present. Looks a bit nicer; rest assured, the actual in-game version IS correct!
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed for use in SF/WoV/WoE -ONLY-, It has =NOT= been tested it in post 8/28/08 patch WoI, nor post 9/08 - 10/08 patch SF/WoV/WoE. You use it in these enviroments at YOUR own risk. =

Lockheed Hudson Tweeks Pak -For SF/WoV/WoE WW2 ETO Installs
 
Some small ini mods and a new gunsight for Veltro2K's RAF medium bomber.
 
The data ini has had the lighting repositioned, modified and adjusted to more closely match those seen on Real Life ™ aircraft. The loadout ini has been adjusted for the use of 'RAF***' type bombs only (although US AN series can still be loaded on the loading screen), and the cockpit ini has the addition of a 'ring-and-bead' type gunsight.
Enhanced AI sections have also been added.
 
Several sub-folder that are included here contain new textureset inis for the "CC" and "RAF1" skins, with the addition of the squadron names, and the inclusion of the Squadron Crests as the patch.bmp. The folder name remain the same, but the 'in-game' name you'll see will reflect these changes. CC will now show "48 Squadron, Coastal Command". RAF1 will now show "500 Squadron".

Curtiss P-40B Tomahawk Skin "Pearl Harbor Defenders"
 
This is a new skin (and ini pak) for Wolf257s P-40B Tomahawk, representing the 47th Pursuit Squadron, 15 Pursuit Group, Haleiwa Field, HI. as seen on the morning of 7 December, 1941.
 
It is desgned for use on a user created "P-40B", NOT the standard Tomahawk that comes with Wolf's WW2 Planes Pak. For those that have NOT created a seperate P-40B, instructions are below in the "Creating a Seperate USAAC P-40B". I've included just about everything you should need for the task.

A new, revamped USAAC style Hangar screen is also included, as is the damage tga. Running lights have been corrected or added to, and a landing light has also been added.
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed for use in SF/WoV/WoE -ONLY-, It has =NOT= been tested it in post 8/28/08 patch WoI, or post 9/08 - 10/08 patch SF/WoV/WoE. You use it in these enviroments at your own risk. =

F4F-3 Wildcat Modification for SF/WoV/WoE Updated 12/16/08
 
---------------------------
NOTE: for some reason, this mod never made it to the CombatAce downloads, although it's been available at my site for some years. HOWEVER -- this is a revamped, more polished version with redone skins, all NEW decals and some more slight tweaks to the inis. If you have the earlier version, it's suggested you delete it, in it's entirety. A very odd thing for me to be saying! The F4F-3 Pak at my site will also be replaced with this newer, nicer one. For comparisons, I've left the original screenshot in, so you can see the difference between The Old and The New versions...
--------------------------
 
This is a mod of Pasko's F4F-4 into the earlier 4-gun, non-folding wing F4F-3 variant, that was in service at the opening of World War 2.
 
This package includes all the inis, various and sundry other bits, and newly revamped 2 skins & decal sets that represent:
 
VF-3 from USS Lexington and
VF-42 from USS Yorktown
 
as seen during the early months of the war (post Jan 1942, after the advent of the 6 position stars, and addition of rudder stripes, during the time of The Fast Carrier Raids), up to and including The Battle of the Coral Sea time frame.
 
This is an INCOMPLETE aircraft mod, as the aircraft LODs and cockpit folder are NOT included!! You will be transfering these critical files from the original F4F-4. New, modified inis ARE suppllied, including a new gunsight tga (and the necessary edits to the cockpit ini.) All lighting on the aircraft are correct; formation, landing and running lights, a seat added for the pilot to rest his ... ah...parachute on and some other very small changes.. A new engine and 'handcranked' landing gear sounds are also supplied, as in a F4F-3 Hangar Screen -only available in this mod!!! A new Pacific Ocean map is also included for the cockpit, as is a NEW pinup :) Damage tgas are here as well, for when you catch a little buckshot...
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed for use in SF/WoV/WoE -ONLY-, It has =NOT= been tested it in post 8/28/08 patch WoI, or post 9/08 - 10/08 patch SF/WoV/WoE. You use it in these enviroments at your own risk. =

Curtiss P-36A Mohawk Mod "Pearl Harbor Defenders"
 
This is a somewhat nearly complete overhaul of Wolf257's P-36 Mohawk, into a slightly more accurate version as used by the US Army Air Corps during 1941. (FM is the same -- just 'other' things modded)
 
This is a COMPLETE aircraft mod; everything is included, excepting the ORIGINAL P-36A.LOD. This mod make use of the modified LOD created for the French & ML-KNIL (NEI) Hawk 75A mod I did a some time ago. 2 completely new skins and decal sets are included representing:
 

46th Pursuit Squadron, 15th Pursuit Group, Wheeler Field, HI (Natural Metal)
47th Pursuit Squadron, 15 Pursuit Group, Haleiwa Field, HI (OD/Neutral Gray


 
as seen on the morning of 7 December, 1941.
 
The cockpit ini has been modified to use my 'ring-and-bead' sight tga, a damage tga and Hangar & Loading Screens are provided.
 
The data ini has been modified via the 'removing components' trick to delete the wing machine guns, as these were not used on USAAC aircraft. They are also 'inily' removed. Some liberties have been taken on the 2 remaining MGs; historically these aircraft were being used as trainers and squadron hacks, as the 15th PG was transitioning to P-40Cs, and only had a single 30 cal left in the nose. I've chosen to leave the 2 50 cals in place for playability, as this gives you a slightly better chance of knocking the enemy aircraft down. Those that wish to switch to the historically accurate 30s, I've supplied the needed data below in the "To Re-Create the Historical Gun Mountings" section. These aircraft carried no bombs or drop tanks, they were only armed with their twin MGs.
The lighting has been updated, with the addition of the formation, runnning and landing light; positions have been corrected and so forth.
 
As this mod is designed to -replace- the existing P-36A, backing up the Original Aircraft ™ in it's totality is HIGHLY reccomended!!! (Instructions below)
 
= IMPORTANT: This aircraft is designed for use in SF/WoV/WoE -ONLY-, It has =NOT= been tested it in post 8/28/08 patch WoI, or post 9/08 - 10/08 patch SF/WoV/WoE. You use it in these enviroments at your own risk. =
 
=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 usual, a highly detailed readme is included; it's HIGHLY suggested you read it...
See 'Credit & Sources' for a complete listing of, well, Credits & Sources!
 
Good Hunting, and Happy Landings!

P-38M "Night Lightning" mod for SF/WoV/WoE
 
This is a modification of Wolf257's P-38L into the radar-equipped 2 seat night-fighter version, the P-38M "NightLightning".
 
This is an incomplete aircraft mod because, as per Wolf's wishes, the "P-38L.LOD" is not included. You =MUST= have his original L model Lightning to copy this file from. All other items; the inis, skin, decals, cockpit and various and sundry other parts ARE included.
Serial numbers for 36 aircraft are included; this gives you the equlivant of 3 squadrons worth -- far more than you'll ever need. These are 100% historically accurate serials; but since the aircraft really didn't reach combat, the historical "6th NFS" is being used as the squadron. (More on that in the "Notes & Other Nonsense" section below).
 
Damage tgas and a New!!! -only available in this mod!!!- P-38M "NightLightning" Hangar screen are included. The 'crsprp.wav' has a nice in-line engine sound; I've used it on several other mods that have Allison-type V12s, so just in case you haven't got to, it's here too.
 
Some outstanding work was done by 76 IAP Blackbird and Timmy in helping create this mod; without them it just plane wouldn't exist. Full accreditation is also listed below.
 
Wolf's original readme for the P-38L and historical notes from J.Baugher's site on the Night Lightning are included as well for your reading pleasure.
 
While built and tested in my WW2 PTO WoE install, it should work just as well in any other in the series; EXCEPTING maybe for post patch (9/08 & 10/08) versions of all the preceding, and WoI. You use it in these versions at your own risk of 'squiffiness' in the FM :) It could use an update, so if anyone wants to volunteer.....
 
=You MUST have the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06 to get the WW2 weapons and drop tanks. They are NOT included; but use all 'stock' P-38J/L weapons =
 
As per usual, there's a semi-detailed easy to follow readme enclosed for you to read, and follow the fairly simple installification procedures, as well as the 'notes and nonesense' for fun and etc.
 
Good Hunting!!

General Motors FM-2 Wildcat Pak for SF/WoV/WoE WW2: PTO Installs
 
This package contains a new skin, and some minor data & cockpit ini mods for Pasko's F4F-4 "Wildcat", representing (as a kind of stand in) the GM/Eastern Aircraft built version, the FM-2. I call this a 'stand-in', as there are several marked differences from the F4F-4 and FM-2 models. These are enumerated in the "General Notes" section
 
This is to be considered an "incomplete" aircrafit mod, as I've =NOT= included the actual LOD files. You WILL need to have the original F4F-4 to copy these files from. The cockpit, however, IS included.
 
The skin represents VF-26 as seen aboard USS SANTEE during mid-late 1944,during operations against Palau and the Mariana Islands, and the Battle of the Phillipine Sea (aka "The Great Marianas Turkey Shoot").
 
The data ini mods include corrected positions and the additions of, running, recognition, formation and landing lights. Loadout changes include the addition of 6 HVAR rocket positions. I've also tweeked the canopy to it opens to it's full extent; swaped out the pilot for a more US looking WW2 guy, and gave him a seat to "park it" on. -NO OTHER CHANGES HAVE BEEN EFFECTD-!!! Flight modeling remains just 'as issued'. Enhanced AI sections have been added, including several from post-patch WoE/WoV/WoI/ SF. The engine sound has also been changed (wav included!). Another sound tweek has also been added, creating the ratcheting sound of the landing gear mechanism (wav included, too!).
Also, it is now fully carrier-qualified, so mission and campaign builders can use it from the CVs, CVLs and CVEs.
The cockpit ini has been modified for a new WW2 N-3 gunsight tga.
 
2 New WoE style Hangar Screens are included (so you get to choose which you like best), as is a new Loading screen. Damage tgas are here as well. Weapons are NOT included!
 
 

-= NOTE: You MUST have the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06 to get the WW2 weapons and guns and such =-
-== 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, but there has been a MARKED improvement!! ==-
-== You use it in WoI at YOUR own risk ==-


 
As expected, there's highly detailed, step-by-step install instructions in the enclosed readme -- so READ it!!!
 
Good Hunting!
