SF2 WW2 MTO Kittyhawk IA, 112 Squadron
 
-- Something for the WW2 MTO players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*There is a distinct probabality that this mod =WILL= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs.
After all, it's just a skin and decals!! However, the decal radomization will not be
functional in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs*
 
A fairly simple redecaling for Raven's Kittyhawk Mk.IA as flown with 112 Squadron in Egypt
and the Western Desert. In fact, other than the skins getting a light coating of dirt and
smoke, it's still Raven's original skin. This will add the Squadron Code, plane-in-group
letters and serial number decals to his original skin. It just overwrites the decals and
texture set ini (although the skin map will also overwrite, too. don't worry about that!)
 
This skin is still in bmp format, so it's usable in SF/Wo*. Decal randomization is TRUE.
All the markings are decals, which (serials, plane-in-group letters) are reused from
another Kittyhawk skins set.
Also included, is a NEW loading screen from my AvArt collection
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So,
please =READ= them.
 
With Thanks To Raven for the bird!
 
Happy Hunting!

SF2 WW2 PTO P-40E Skin Pak
 
-- Something for the WW2 PTO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: this pak MAY be usable in 1stGen SF/Wo* game installs. However, some features
(decal randomization, dds damage textures) will =NOT= be functional. Use in 1stGens has
not, and cannot be, tested by me.*
 
Some reskins for Raven's recently Released P-40E Warhawk. These skins represent USAAF
squadrons in the South West Pacific (SWP) -northern Australia, New Guinea- region from
approximately April 1942 onwards. And a "interesting" skin, as I hate wasting decals
(grin).
 
In this pack you'll get:
 
7th FS, 49th FG -Bunyaps (OD/Grey)
8th FS, 49th FG -Black Sheep (Green/Tan/Grey camo)
9th FS, 49th FG -Iron Knights (OD/Grey)
 
and...
 
The Flying Legion (OD/Grey) - somewhat of a "What If..." skin from the motion picture "Sky
Captain and the World of Tommorrow. You may keep it, or delete as you desire. I won't be
insulted or hurt; I promise!!
 
Skins remain in their bmp format.
New DDS damage textures (usable on all Raven's Warhawk/Kittyhawk in SF2 only) are
included!
New aircraft plane-in-group number decals, in correct sequencing for the 3 Real Life ™
squadron are included. Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins. There are no nose arts.
The squadron patch is used for the 7th, 8th and 9th FS. Also, via the use of my (patent
pending) fake SqTail decal, the squadron name display is now active on the Loadout Screen.
My modified Loadout ini is also included. As is an SF2 Version of the drop tank (for those
that haven't converted it yet).
The skins have been run through the template (thank you Raven for that!), and have had a
layer of dirt, stains and 'clouds' added for weathering.
 
A rebuilt version of my "Box Art" style Hangar screen, USAAF PTO specific (in SF2 jpg
format) is included.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE
read them BEFORE installing this pack!!!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other stuff
that might be interesting.
 
Good Hunting!!

SF2 BAe Nimrod MR.1 Remod Pak by Veltro2k
 
= For SF2, (Full 5 Merged ONLY!!)=
 
**FUll 5 Merged reccomended, as the destroyed model references the stock 3W B-52, and many statements in the data ini refer to SF2NA coding only**
 
A Re-release of the Veltro2k's Nimrod Martime Patrol aircraft, now with some (ok, many) updates for the SF2:NA environment.
This is the complete aircraft package, with an new cockpit and various and sundry ini tweeks. Several new or updated weapons are included. The hangar and loading screens have also been converted for SF2 usage.
2 skins are included:
 
42 Squadron, in the original 2-tone (called Early)
201 Squadron, in the Hemp (called, Hemp (doh!!))
 
The skins will automatically change from the Early to the later Hemp at a (semi)specific date. (Read: my best guess)! Skins remain in bmp format.
Decal randomization is set to TRUE for both skins. Basicly, it's the exactly as I released sometime back for SF2 (pre-purge), but with several enchancement and tweeks, now set up for SF2NA. Damage textures are in DDS.
Loadouts have been adjusted to start with torpedos, and then switch to Harpoons, also at a 'best guesstimate' year (1983).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read, in particular on operational usage.
The Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, you may want to delete said original (or back it up somewheres), as there HAVE been changes and additions in several of the inis mostly in respect to SF2NA. Consider this a FULL replacement of the original.
 
**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**.
 
Good Hunting!

SF2 WW2 ETO Spitfire 9c, 341 Squadron Skin Pak
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged + Expansion Pak 2 (Reccomended/Preferred) =
**SF2:E Expansion Pak 2 =REQUIRED= to have the Spitfire 9c**
 
A reskinning of the stock 3W Spit 9c to 341 Squadron, FFAF (aka: GC III/4 Alsace) during WW2 in Western Europe.
 
Skins remain in their 'lorez' 512 size, and are still in bmp format. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. All marking on the aircraft are decals. This will make it exceptionally easy for skinners to create other RAF squadrons of this time period.
For those with historical tendencies, this is the squadron that Pierre Clostermann served with.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
 
Happy Landings!!

SF2 WW2 Douglas TBD-1 Devastator Tweeks Pak (DAT)
 
For SF2, Full-5 Merged (RECCOMENDED!!!)
 
*Designed for use in a PTO-centric mods folder built =FROM= the SF2:NA exe. NA coding is required for some statements I've changed/added.*
**This mod will NOT work in 1stGen SF/Wo* game installs. Those that attempt to do so, do so at their own risk. No support is/will be available. The skins will most likely work in SF/Wo*, if they are converted BACK to bmp from DDS. This has not, and cannot be tested by me. You have been warned/advised**
Those users that cannot access the DAT downloads, you're advised to skip this, as it's of no use to you.
 
This is a semi-complete aircraft mod, consisting of mostly skins, decals, inis and various and sundry other needed bits and parts.
This package contains a rebuild of my skins for the Dev A-Team's Douglas TBD Devestator naval attack/torpedo bomber.
It is desinged to be used with their latest lod,
 
TBD1A-R1.lod (dated 9/21/2011, make sure you get the Gen2 version!!)
 
The skins have been partly redone to match the new mapping, and are in DDS format.
Included are several modified inis, that correct/add/change some things. You are advised to BACKUP any/all originals. The Install instructions list which and what to delete or backup.
 
This package contains nearly 100% historical skins and decal markings for US Navy TBDs as seen at both the Battle of the Coral Sea, and The Battle of Midway; their hour of greatest Triumph and Tragedy. I say 'nearly' 100%, as I couldn't quite get some of the wear-and-tear and fabric effects on the skin exactly as they should be, or as I wanted. Also, the BuNums for the VT-2 skin are not 100% match to Modex. Colors have been FS matched, as best as possible, to BuAer spec.
 
The units depicted are...
 
Battle of the Coral Sea:
 
VT-2 USS LEXINGTON
 
Battle of Midway:
 
VT-3, USS YORKTOWN
VT-6, USS ENTERPRISE
VT-8, USS HORNET
 
Unfortnately, I was unable to accurately 'pin down' the modex-to-BuNms-to-crew for VT-2 at Coral Sea. (I HAVE the crew listings, but not the BuNums)
For the Midway Devestator squadrons, Modex and BuNums have been matched =EXACTLY= to their partiuclar aircraft, exactly as placed within each division of each squadron on each ship represented here. A number list for each squadron is included, with the crew names for each aircraft. Their names will show on the Loadout screen.
Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins (which it actually shouldn't be -- the Midway Devestator's numbers.lst has them in their historicaly correct order). New damage textures, in DDS format, are supplied, as is an 'new' engine sound from the AvHistory set.
NOTE: for VT-3, #s 13 & 14 were spare aircraft, that went down with YORKTOWN when she was sunk; research seems to indicate they did not participate in the Battle.
Each skin's paint chip is the historically correct Squadron Patch.
New 'box art' style Hangar Screens are included; The Loading screen artwork depicts Ens. George Gay's attack on AKAGI (the sole survivor of VT-8 whom I had to honor of meeting some years ago)
Included is the new Mk.13 torpedo by Veltro2K
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! In fact, it would be better if one unzipped this archive FIRST, and read all the instructions BEFORE installing this mod. It will make things go easier.
All original DAT readmes are included, for historical and ownership/copyright purposes.
 
Good Luck, and Good Hunting!

ps: I wanted to get this out by June 4, the anniversery of the Battle of Midway. I had NO idea the DAT would be releasing their All-Inclusive PTO until last night. This in no way changed my plans; but may make it easier for you all to use this.

The production of the MiG-21s in India under license by Hindustan Aeronautics in Nasik started
with the MiG-21FL in 1966 in four phases starting with the assembly of CKD kits, moving on to
subassemblies, parts, and finally advancing to production from scratch.
 
205 MiG-21FLs, designated Type 77 and nicknamed Trishul ("Trident), were built in India between
1966 and 1972; the first one built entirely from Indian-made components was delivered to the IAF
on 19 October 1970, with the first Indian-made R11F2S-300 powerplant leaving the assembly line
on 2 January 1969.
 
In the late 1970s, the IAF began acquiring MiG-21M/MFs, consequently a large part of the MiG-21FL
fleet were sent into storage.
However in the mid-1980s, these FLs were pulled out of storage and retrofitted with two extra
pylons and were fitted with IFF-400 antennas(on the nose).
 
Whats's in:
 
- two flyable planes
 
- Type 77 with GP-9 gunpod (13 skins)
 
- Type 77 (late) with 4 pylons and IFF-400 antenna (5 skins)
 
- MiG-21 cockpit
 
- IAF Pilot (76.IAP-Blackbird's reworked)
 
- New Mig-21FL userlist without India
 
- Dedicated sounds
 
- Historical Serial Numbers
 
 
canopy opens as usual with 10 key.
 
Known Issues: none
 
- White 'ghosts' in the cockpit - solved!
 
 
To Install:
 
Put all in your mod folder.
