Lockheed P-38J, 20th FG, 8th AF, ETO
 
= For SF2, Any and All (Full-5 Merged Prefered/Reccomended) =
- Something for the European Theatre
 
*Note: due to certain changes in the data ini, it may NOT be usable in any 1stGen game install at any patch level. End Users ™ who choose to do so can expect no support if/when issues arise.*
 
This pack is a revamp of the 1stGen (SF/Wo*) WW2 ETO 20th FG pak originally released in 2009. It now incorporates the changes seen on the Recently Released PTO P-38 Pak. This is the complete aircraft, with all the "little fiddly bits" included.
 
The 3 squadrons of the Group represented are:
55th FS
77th FS (both in OD/Grey)
79th FS (in Natural Metal)
 
All skins are in jpg format. Included are sounds, pilot figue, and weapons (excepting the standard WW2 AN series bombs, readly available all over the place!). Decal randomization is set to TRUE. The Squadron Name display on the Loadout Screen has been activated via my "fake" SqTail decal, so their modern names will show.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them! The original readme from my SF/Wo* release is included, as it contains further explainations and historical notations. Wolf's original release readme is also included
 
Happy Landings!

SF2 WW2 PTO P-38 Lightning Pak
 
- More P-38 Lightnings in the Pacific -
-- Something for the PTO players --
 
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*There is a distinct possibility that this mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, due to the excessive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment.*
 
Mods/reskins/redecaling for Wolf257's WW2 aircaft. This package contains, broken down by aircraft and skins:
 
P-38H
9th FS, 49th FG "Flying Knights"
39th FS, 35th FG "Flying Cobras"
 
P-38J
431st FS, 475th FG "Satan's Angles"
7th FS, 49th FG "Screaming Demons"
 
P-38L
80th FS, 8th FG "Headhunters"
433rd FS, 475th FG "Blue Devils"
 
P-38M* (NightLightning -radar equiped 2-seat nightfighter)
6th NFS
 
(*Note: M's never reached operational, squadron status before war's end. This one is more for fun)
 
All skins are in jpg format, Decal Randomization is TRUE. All get new SF2 versions of the original 'box art' hangar screens. Damage textures are the old tga versions.
All have semi-compliant SF2 Flight Models, but they do need further fine tuning by experts. All lighting is 100% historically correct.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Remember -- these are very old models, so they "are as they is". All original readmes, when discoverable, are included.
 
Good Hunting!

P-51C Mustang, ETO by Wolf257
 
= For SF2, Any and All* =
 
*Note: reccomended to have at least SF2 Expansion Pak 1, and be at the latest patch level, as the decals referenced on the Generic NM skin call to several stock 3W decals. If not at that level, you'll have to find alternative serial numbers and period-correct USAAF national insignia decals to use*
 
Some slight modifications and tweeks to Wolf's P-51C "Malcolm Hood" USAAF Mustang bring it closer in line for SF2 usage.
 
Included are 3 skins:
 
356th FS, with 99.9% hisorically accurate codes, serials and nose arts
'Generic' Olive Drab
'Generic' Natural Metal.
 
All skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
2 Data inis are suppliled; one is the original from way back when, and the one being used now has some of the SF2 statements. It's not perfect; it seems works well enough, but does need further adjustments and fine-tuning by an expert.
A new SF2 version of the original 'box art' Hangar screen is included, as are the needed weapons (ie: the drop tank), sounds and the pilot figure.
 
Happy Landings

Mustang III, Royal Air Force, MTO by Wolf257
 
= For SF2, Any and All =
 
*Specifically designed for a SF2, MTO-Centric based mods folder*
 
This is a modifcation of Wolf257's P-51B Mustang into the earlier Mk.III version (non Malcom Hood), as used the RAF in the MTO (and elsewhere, too!)
 
This pak, a complete aircraft with all the trimmings, represents aircraft from 112 Squadron 'Sharkmouths', circa 1944/45.
All skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
 
A new SF2-compliant Hangar screen is included, as are the needed weapons (ie: the drop tank), sounds and the pilot figure.
FM is similiar to the recently (re)release USAAF P-51C (ok, it's really the same one, nationalized)
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
Wolf's original (P-51B) release readme, and my RAF Mustang III readme are included for historical purposes
 
Good Hunting!
