SF2 WW2 Hawker Hurricane IIC (Trop), 335 Squadron (MTO/RHAF)
 
-- Something for the WW2 MTO players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*There is a distinct possibility 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 new Desert camo skin for Raven's Hurricane IIC (Trop), recreates 335 Squadron, Royal Hellinc Air Force, as flown with the RAF in Egypt and the Western Desert.
 
This skin is still in bmp format, so it's usable in SF/Wo*. Decal randomization is TRUE. All the markings are decals, most of which (serials, plane-in-group letters) are reused from other skins sets
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them.
Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
With Thanks To Raven for the bird!
 
Happy Hunting!

SF2 WW2 PTO P-40N, USAAF (SWPA) Skinpak 9/14/2013
 
-- 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 damge textures, destroyed model, etc) will be NOT
functional. Use in 1stGens has not, and cannot be, tested by me.*
 
**Notex2: this mod is designed for use ONLY in a PTO-Centric mods folder**
 
A new skin for Raven's P-40N, a "generic" representation of USAAF P-40Ns in SoWesPac
Theatre (read: New Guinea). Although the "Displayed Name" on the Loadout Screen will
say "7th FS, 49th FG" (the Bunyaps), they are to be considered a bit more generic than
Squadron Specific. Even though the individual plane-in-group numbers fits those of the
7th's usage.
 
Skins remain in their bmp format.
New DDS damage textures (usable on all Raven's Warhawk/Kittyhawk in SF2 only) are
included.
A slightly modified data ini, with some flight model tweeks, and switching to the
AvHistory engine sound. So, be prepared to back up some inis for saftey!!! A new
textureset ini for the "Bare Metal" skin is included, that adds Decal Randomization
for SF2. A new userlist ini was created, for the Export Customers.
All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. Also, via the use of my
(patent pending) Fake SqTail decal, the squadron name display is now active on the
Loadout Screen.
 
No weapons are included, except SF2 Versions of the new drop tanks (for those that
haven't converted them yet). New theatre-specific Hangar and Loading screens are
included, too.
 
The skins have been run through the template (thank you Raven for that!), and have had
a layer of dirt and 'clouds' added for weathering. They're still not dirty enough for
my taste, but it's something!!
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included.
PLEASE read them!!
 
Good Hunting!!

SF2 WW2 PTO B-24D 319th BS, 1943-44 Skin/Decals Pak 9/15/2013
 
-- Something for the PTO players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
A new skin for the B-24D Liberator by pasko. This skin represents aircraft of the 319th BS of the 90th BG "Jolly Rogers" in their mid-to-late livery as seen in New Guinea and the Southwest Pacific operations areas, circa 1943 thru 1944.
 
It is designed for use the SF2(ish) B-24D mod, available at the following url:
 
http://combatace.com/files/file/13842-sf2-ww2-b-24d-liberator-eto-mto-pak/
 
The skin is brand new(ish), from my Home Grown Template ™, and is in jpg format. New serial number decals were created; they should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they don't accurately represent the unit, but DO represent the correct model variant depicted. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. There are NO nose arts.
This skin makes use of the Post-Sept 43 "Star-and-Bar" (white outlined).
 
In essence, it's a rebadging of the 42-43 skin already available. This skin uses the "StartDefaultDate" SF2 switch, and will automaticaly turn on in November, 1943.
As this skin IS Theatre specific to the Pacific regions, you'll have to do some editing after installing to the B-24D above in your PTO-centric mods folder, and remove or rename the ETO/MTO skins.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
 
Happy Landings!
