P-38J Lightning, 20th FG, 8th AF, ETO


 
This is a semi-complete aircraft mod, recreating the J Model Lightnings as used in the ETO in 1943/44 by the 20th FG.
I say 'semi-complete', because as per Wolf's wishes, the aircraft LOD file is NOT included. However, everything else is.
You =MUST= have Wolf's WW2 Planes Pak to copy the P-38H.LOD that this mod requires
 
This package includes skins/decal sets for the 3 squadrons of J models Lightnings that composed the 20th FG, up until they converted to Mustangs at the beginning of 1945. Unfortnately, Invasion stripes are NOT painted on; this is a simpler, cleaner version for either before OVERLORD or after, when they were removed (ok, I'll admit it...I was just too lazy to actually plot their positions, and paint them on the skin bmp. Ya got me!!<grin>). I give this set a rating of 98.6% for historical accurary, for with the excepetion of approx 6 aircraft between the 3 squadrons, every single serial number has been matched to it's aircraft, based on the radio-call/Plane-in-Group letter. These other serials, while regarded as 'filler', ARE actual serials issued to aircraft assigned to the squadrons of the 20th, but that had no particular call letter, or the letter was undiscoverable. But rest assured, these are 100% accurate serials for J Models, as used by the 20th.
 
The 3 squadrons represented are:
 
55th FS
77th FS
79th FS
 
On the loadout screen, each squadron is represented by the Squadron Patch as the Paint Chip. It should be noted the 55th and 77th are done up in OD/Neutral Gray and the 79th is in Natural Metal. Every marking or color blob you'll see on these aircraft -is- a decal, excpeting the anti-glare panel on the 79th skin. There is nothing painted on anywheres. Unfortunately, there is no nose art, due to a) not being able to find good examples per each aircraft, and b) decal bleed on the nose mesh.
 
As stated, this is a complete pak, minus the LOD, that incluces the cockpit (with a new N-3 gunsight tga), and all the inis, including my experimental 'updated' data ini with some small flight model tweeks. Damage tgas are included. It is designed for use ONLY in 06 level SF/SFG/WoV/WoE. It has NOT been tested in in 08 1st Gens or SF2 Series sims. You use it in these enviroments at your own risk, and completly unsupported by me. You are on your own. (btw, for you nut jobs that don't listen, and actually DO fly this is 08 or SF2, I'd like feedback on 'how it feels'. I actually HAVE flown it in an 08 install, and it felt 'pretty good'. This may hold us until the AvHistory Guys get us realistic FMs)
 
You MUST also have the WW2 Weapons Pak, available at CombatAce at the following URL:

As always, it's reccomended you unzip this package to a temp folder or your desktop, or somewhere's else that's easy to find to gain access to the rest of this readme for full, detailed install instructions.

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...
 
Good Hunting!

SkippyBing's original Baffin posted here at his suggestion.
 
I've re-done the base skins but the Skippybing's decals and the aircraft itself are the stars of the show. The original Readme is included.

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:
