WW2 Battle of Britain Terrain for SF2 8/16/2013
 
- For SF2, (Full 5 Merged REQUIRED!!!*)
 
"The Battle of France is over; the Battle of Britain is about to begin..."
 
This is a (nearly complete) rebuild of the Battle of Britain map by Gepard.
It has been brought (as much as possible) up to SF2 standards, at the May 2013 patch level. It it designed for use in WW2 ETO mods folders built =FROM= the SF2:NA exe.
The terrain has also been completely (well, nearly ~98.6%) retiled using the GermanyCE tile set. Please see the "Notes" section for more info on the tiles. There ARE some custom tiles and TODs.
 
If you have the original version, or any updated versions, it's suggested you move THAT terrain sub-folder to a storage section, rename it, or delete it from your WW2 ETO mods folder. This version =WILL= completly replace it.
 
This is map covers western France and Southern England, from Paris to Brisol (east and west) and RAF Whittering to Breast (n/s), with the majority of the target areas in S/E England, and the French Channel Coast. For other targets further inland, and later time frames, it's reccomened you use my EAW WW2 Euro Rebuild, as it's much more detailed and covers a substantially larger area.
 
This map makes use of the LimitedNations, AllowedDates and AllowedMission statements. There are =NO= CAS routes, ground attack missions are limited to Armed Recon and Anti-Shipping. Strike, of course, for the bombers, remains valid (expecially for the Luftwaffe!). Armed Recon mission are constrained to within approximately 100km of the coastlines (more or less) for BOTH sides. As this map is more designed for the defense of England, rather than cross-channel RAF strikes, this works well (also, vice versa for Luftwaffe bombers and fighters). For those wanting more, use the EAW Euro WW2 rebuild.
 
OTH, since there is (nearly) enough sea room, several SF2NA "ship zones" are placed on the water bmp. This allows for the generation of Kriegsmarine Surface Action Groups, as well as CV operations for the Royal Navy. If you find these historically offensive, a second _water.bmp is provided, withOUT the zones. A simple bmp rename, and text edit of the terrain's main ini will remove this function. Instructions are in the "Notes" section.
 
There are some new GroundObjects included; these are ALL at the latest SF2 patch level, and will replace any others. Most are Raven's new LW radars (the Natter SAM is NOT included, as it's 1945 start date is outside this maps operational life span), and some ships by Stephan1918, imported from FE2, and modifided for SF2 usage .
 
*Geophysical Disclaimer: some rivers and other water features may NOT follow their Real Life ™ courses, or be placed in their Real Life ™ locations, or exist at all. Several cities and other physical features may also fall into this classification; Some populated places may exist only as "named places" on the map. This was done for historical reasons. Many airfields/airports, some of historical significance, may also not exist or placed in the Real Life ™ locations due to tiling constraints.*
 
When in-game, you'll still see "Battle of Britain" on the terrain selection dropdown window.
 
It's reccomended you 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 reading.
 
Please also read -and Obey- the New Standard Usage Discalimer, as it's been modified to reflect changes in my policy. It's listed at the bottom, in the Legal Statement Section, with the URL back to the CA post.
 
Good Hunting!

The first recon spitfire in use with RAF, RNoAF and RDAF in '50.
 
3 new skins included, each with historical decalset
 
The plane is from TMF & Wrench (see original readme for WW2 version)
 
what's new:
 
- cockpit now close automatically at take-off and it's fully animated from inside too (following cliff's hints for Spitfires IX);
- added pylon via fake pilot is plane specific and painted;
 

V.1.1: pilot and fake pilot (centerline pylon) fixed; new tank

That's all.
 
@paulopanz
 

P.S.: My wishes are for one more outstanding Scandinavian Campaign set in Early '50 using all these new viking spits (25.8.2016 a "real" proper Griffon S-31/Spifire Mk. XIX is on my schedule too...) ...

SF2 WW2 F-6D (RF-51D) Mustang Skin/Decal Pak 12/05/2013
 
-- Something for the WW2 players --
 
= For SF2 =ONLY=, Full-5 Merged, plus ExPak 1 (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: must have the SF2I Expansion Pak (whichever one gave us the Mustang) in your Merged Installs, due to this aircraft referencing the Stock 3rd Wire Mustang serial number decals*
 
A simple reskin for the KAW Era RF-51D, creates a "Plane Jane" F6D Mustang for WW2 usage. The aircrat has no squadron or other type of markings. This makes it usable in any theatre. However, it should be noted, SOME units did have their own markings. Consider THIS skin for exactly what it is: Generic ™
 
To be used on the KAW RF-51D; the aircraft is available at the following URL:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/13518-sf2-kaw-rf-51d-mustang/
 
Like the original, it uses DDS textues, and will NOT work in any 1stGen game installs at all.
This skin uses the "StartDefaultDate=" statement, so as to start in 1944 (aircraft's default in service year).
National markings are painted on; decal randomization (for the serials) is TRUE
 
When in game, you'll see:
 
"Natural Metal (WW2)
 
on the skin selection drop down menu.
 
REMINDER: you MUST have the RF-51D installed BEFORE installing this skinpak. See "To Insall" for more details
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!
 
Good Hunting!!

Decimomannu , Giogia del colle and Souda Bay bases are on the limits of the map, so you may hit the "Wall" , in order to avoid this just start the mission from air.
Solenaza air base, although mentioned, it does not exist so the french units based there in the real life, in the mod operate from Italy.
No weapons and effects are included, so please download the lastest weapon/effects pack.
 
 
 
 
|
|Important Remarks:
|
 
Most of the missions are just Strike missions against warehouses etc , so if you had expected
a super intense campaign this is not your mod.
 
French and european air forces have the dominant role in the MOD , US presence is purely testimonial as well as Libyan forces.

Dewoitine D.520
 
Dewoitine D.520 was French fighter aircraft that entered service in early 1940, shortly after the opening of World War II. Unlike the Morane-Saulnier M.S.406, which was at that time the most numerous fighter of the French Air Force, the Dewoitine D.520 came close to being a match for the latest German types, such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109. It was slower than the Bf 109E but superior in manoeuvrability. Because of a delayed production cycle, only a small number were available for combat with the Luftwaffe.

This is a skin for the F-14D_06 from the super pack, but could be used for any of the Ds. Created using stuff from Swordsman442's recent release. See the readme. I forgot to move the navy decal back some and you could probably remove the radome decals if you choose.

VF 31 CO bird for the SF2 MF F-14D_06 Tomcat, but should work for any of the D models in the superpack. See readme.

Hi!!! This is a little modification of the stock Cargo Ship. It has a ZSU-23 Shilka on its deck, so that it will shoot the hell out of anything flying above it. It won't be such a threat for high velocity aircrafts, even at low altitude, but you will have some trouble if trying to dive-bomb towards the ship. Note that the 3D model is the same. I don't know if it is possible to actually add a Shilka model on its deck. This is just a deadly INI edit.
 
This will not replace the stock Cargo Ship. Just drag the ShilkaCargoShip folder to your GroundObjects folder. That's it!!!
 
Thanks KJakker For your help as regards the Detect and Weapon system lines!!!
 
 
Here's a nice video!
 

 
The Bloch MB.130 and its derivatives were a series of French monoplane reconnaissance-bombers developed during the 1930s. They saw some limited action at the beginning of World War II but were obsolete by that time and suffered badly against the Luftwaffe. After the fall of France, a few were pressed into Luftwaffe service.

SF2 WW2 ETO Spitfire 1A, 602 Squadron Skin Pak 10/25/2013
 
-- 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 602 "City of Glasgow" Squadron around the time of the Battle of Britian (ish).
 
REMINDER: this is for the TMF/MM Spit 1 ONLY!!!
 
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, LO.
 
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/
 
The skin is in jpg format, Decal Randomization is TRUE. The Squadron Crest is used for the paint chip, as seen on the loading screen
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. So, please READ them
 
Happy Landings!!

Supermarine Spitfire F Mk 24 - Fuerza Aérea Argentina
 
This is a very simple mod of the stock Third Wire Spitfire F Mk 24 to give a fictional Fuerza Aérea Argentina Spitfire with equally fictitious markings for Grupo 6 de Caza (sorry about the low number of serial number decals but it wasn't originally intended for release and is released 'as is' as a request).
 
You will need to have the 'AI Plane Pack 2' DLC from Third Wire.
 
 
INSTRUCTIONS
 
1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the Spitfire24_FAA folder into your Aircraft folder.
 
2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the Spitfire24_FAA folder into your main Decals folder.
 
At this point it might be a good idea to change the pilot to whatever you've got in your install suitable for the early post-war period.
 
 
CREDITS
 
Thanks to Third Wire for the continuous improvement of a great little game/sim.
 
And thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community and remember to wear your poppy with pride.
