SF2 WW2 C-47 Skytrain
 
-- Something for the WW2 players --
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged -PLUS- SF2I Expansion Pak 1 Required!!! =
 
*Note: you MUST have SF2I Expansion Pak 1 to gain access to the C-47A to add the mod to. If you do
not meet the requirement, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS MOD, as you'll be unable to use it.*
 
A quickie redecaling of the 3W Skytrain to represent Early WW2 C-47s in use pretty much anywhere in
the world. It uses the stock OD skin, with the Round Star (no meatball, no bars) as seen from May
1942 through September(ish) 1943. 12 serial number decals are included; these ARE actual C-47A
serials from the correct timeframe.
 
Also included is Kesselbrut's cockpit*, for those that haven't made it flyable, and a new engine
sound, of an actual C-47. The userlist ini also included, adding Australia as a new nation; a WW2
RAAF skin is in the works.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please
read them.
This will look quite good sitting parked around you WW2 airfields!
 
*Note: although a cockpit is supplied, it is reccomended to leave the aircraft under AI control.
There is very little actual use for transport aircraft in game, at the moment, other than as eye
candy.
 
Happy Landings!

SF2 WW2 F4F-3/4 Wildcat, SBD-3/5 Dauntless
 
-- Something for the PTO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*There is a 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.*
 
This is a compilation of all my work for Wolf's SBD Dauntless and Pasko's F4F Wildcat. It is
designed to replace ALL the previously released versions. So, be advised.
There are 5 aircraft in this pak:
 
F4F-3 (pre- and early war)
F4F-4 (early war to mid-43
FM-2 (mid to late war -this is a stand in aircraft, based on the -4)
SBD-3 (pre and early war, to mid-43 -includes RNZAF skin)
SBD-5 (mid war, tri-color)
and ???? a surprise!
 
All have semi-compliant SF2 Flight Models, but they REALLLLLLY do need further fine tuning by
experts. All lighting on all aircraft is 100% historically correct. All are carrier capable, with
the SF2NA statments for those (ok, 2) aircraft with folding wings
Use Shift/0 to open the window, and Shift/9 to fold the wings -Wilcat ONLY!
 
All skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. I've tried, as best as
possible, to use the 'StartDefaultDate' on all skins to limit the availability for pre-War markings
from those that came into being post-January, 1942. The -4 'cats have skins that start 1/42, and
the Dauntless has the same pre and post 1/42 starts. Hopefully, they will work as they should.
Userlists are included for all aircraft, as being 'exported' means USN, USMC, and in the SBD-3's
case, RNZAF.SF2 versions of the old 'box art' Hangars are included for those that had them.
Sounds, weapons are included. Also, for you enjoyment, a never-before-released-to-the-public
"Surprise" aircraft. Yes, its a total stand-in, and dosen't really even look like what it
represents, but ... you can have to fun with it (flying for the Red Side, that is, attacking it.)
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please
read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
All readmes from the original releases, and re-releases, are included where discoverable from the
archives.
 
Happy Hunting!

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!

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"

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.
