SF2 WW2 ETO Boulton Paul Defiant Remod Pak
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
This is a reissue of Veltro2K's Defiant 'turret fighter'. It has been reskinned/redecaled and had some tweeking done.
The skin is in jpg format, and has all new plane-in-group letter and serial numbers (historically acurate for Defiant Mk.1s, but representative of no particular unit). The squadron code represent No. 264 Squadron. There are some issues with this skin, as I couldn't quite figure out the mapping at the rear fuselage camo/sky unders parting line. To that end, the Home Grown template is included for any another skinners wishing to give it a try.
Engine sounds, pilot figures, BRAND new Hangar and Loading screens (in SF2 jpg format) are included.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for the change list, and other important notations. Also, the Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, you may wish delete the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is desinged to replace them in total.
**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. The source files have been lost, and there can and WILL be no modifications to the physical model. They 'are as they is' and you must accept them with this caveat in mind. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**
Good Luck!!

SF2 WW2 DH Mosquito NF.II Pak
-- Something for the WW2 ETO/MTO players --
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged ( Full-5 Reccomended/Preferred) =
*There is a possibility that this mod may work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. However due to the excessive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment, not all features will be avaliable.*
Mods to Pasko's Mosquito (and of my NF.XII), create the eariler NightFighter/Intruder version, in this case, the NF.II.
Like the other Mossies I've re-released, a new (mostly) SF2 compliant FM was created. As per usual, fine tuning of the FM by experts is requested.
Sounds, pilot figures -including the FakePilot and Radar 'bow & arrow" antennas- and weapons (ok, the drop tanks) are included, as is a new SF2 "Box Art" style Hangar screen.
Skins/Decals included in this set are:
No.157 Squadron, in overall "Night" circa 1942
No.141 Squadron, in 1943-ish Sea Gray/Dark Green, Night unders
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, as mentioned, the "Notes" section for other stuff of interest.
*This mod is being released in an "as is" condition; PLEASE see the Notes section for more info. Also, take note the Legal Notice has had a small modification.*
Happy Hunting!

SF2 WW2 ETO Photo-Recon Spitfires Pak 7/28/2013
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
**SF2:E Expansion Pak 2 =REQUIRED= to get the Spitfire 9c**
This pak contains 2 versions of Photo Recon Spitfires as used in the ETO in WW2. By inference, the PR.XI may also have been used in other theatres, MTO and/or PTO (CBI), but research has not turned up any confirmations of CBI usage.
Inside you'll find:
Spitfire FR.IXC (based on the 3W 9c)
Spitfire PR.XI (based on TMF/MM Mk.VIII)
The PR.XI comes with 2 skins, one tagged (genericlly) for 1 PRU squadron, although research has shown they were also used by No.541 and/or No. 542 Squadrons. The other for the 17th PRS, 7th PRG of the US 8th AF. Serial numbers for the AAF skin are 100% historically accurate.
The 2 RAF skins serials are more 'generic' in nature. All aircraft are finished in PRU Blue (FS matched as close as possible).
The PR.IX uses all decals for marking; the PR.XI has the national markings painted on, but serials are decals.
In game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop-Down you'll them listed as:
Spitfire FR.IX (3W)
Spitfire PR Mk.XI (TMF)
This will diferentiate them for any/all other PR Spitfire that may exist.
The FR.IXC, by it's very name, retains all it's fighter armament, and 'carries' only the the single oblique camera. The PR.XI is completly unarmed, but retains (non-historically) it's cockpit gunsight.
The canopy is activated via the Standard Animation Keystroke , Shift/0
Weapons (drop tanks), pilot figures (included 'fake pilot' center pylon for the PR.XI) and the AvHistory Merlin sound are included.
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 NAA FJ-3M Fury (Ver.2)
= For SF2, (Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED!!) =
*Note: this aircraft will NOT work in SF/Wo* 1stGen Games are ANY patch level. This
aircraft was (re)designed and (re)built and (re)tested in SF2NA and Full5 Merged installs*
A brand new, replacement aircraft for the previous 1stGen conversions. Through the hard
work of several, people, being named here FIRST, instead of further down in the Credits
(well, they're listed there, too, of course!)
Zur (the Great and Powerful) for giving me the uncompleted MAX files, and RussoUK for
finishing and polishing the LOD for SF2 useage. You guys ROCK!!
This is the full, compiled package of Zur/Column5's FJ-3M Fury. Like the original SF2 pak,
it contains all the skin/decal sets I could find, combined into one big lump. This package
is designed to REPLACE, in total, any and ALL other previouse FJ-3M Furys.
Skins included in the pak are:
VF-53 from ??
VF-62 from USS Essex, ATG-201 during the Beirut Crisis
VF-73 from USS Randolph, circa 1956/57
VF-84 from USS Forrestall, crica 1956/57
VF-142 from USS Hornet, 1956
VF-211 from USS BonHomme Richard, circa 1956
VMF-312 (actually an FJ-3 in Natural Metal, circa 1955ish)
VMF-333 from ???
Skins are a mixture of both bmp and JPG, and Decal randomization is also set to TRUE.
Damage textures are in DDS format (same as the Sabre). The aircraft is now bump mapped,
for that nice metalic look.
A new FM, is based off Fubar's work on the KAW Sabres. It may need futher fine tuning to
completly Navalize it. The canopy, now functional, opens with the Standard Animation
Keystroke, Shift/0. AT this time, wingfold in NOT functional. The data ini statements
refelct this for carrier on-deck parking.
Other changes are the addition of the Userlist, a new avionics ini that adds the radar-
ranging gunsight. And a revamped SF2 version of my 'artwork' hangar screen.
The aircraft is fully carrier-capable, as per the July 2012 patch level. No weapons are
included; all stock items are called out. The new drop tanks are built into the aircraft's
LOD, ala SF2 3W birds. The weapons data IS included, of course.
Sounds are all reused from the KAW Sabres, as is the NEW cockpit (also from the KAW F-86F)
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full,detailed, easy-to-follow install
instructions. Of course, the usual 'Notes' section for the ravings of a madman!! <g>
Happy Landings!!

SF2I DLC 28 IDFAF S-199 Mule Tweek Pak
= For SF2 (Full4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED + DLC 28!)
*Designed for use in the standard/stand alone SF2:I Mods folder (suggested usage)*
**IF you do NOT have DLC 28, do not download this mod. It will be of no use to you
whatsomeever**
This pak contains some "quick and dirty" mods for the S-199 "Mezek" (or Mule) recently
released in DLC #28
Now a flyable aircraft, with the included cockpit. 25 Historicaly accruate serial number
decals, and NEW SF2 style Hangar and loading screens in my World Famous Box Art Style
.
Loadout has been adjusted to add the 300 ltr drop tank, a different pilot figure,
AvHistory Jumo engine sound. Canopy activated via the Standard Animation Keystroke,
Shift/0. FM remains "as issued". See "Changes" in the Note section below for more stuff.
Also included is my "One Click Restore" (patent pending) main ini for when it becomes AI-
only again.
When in-game, you'll see
S-199 (3W)
on the aircraft selection drop-down menu. This will differentiate it from the S-199 by
MontyCZ (an excellent mod, btw!), in case you may have that one as well. If you DO have
Monty's, you may want to rename it's folder and main ini to further differentiate it.
Otherwise you WILL experience conflicts/problems/issues/and assorted troubles.
As always, other improvements and changes/fixes are welcomed! As I said above, it's just a
Q&D mod to get them flying so others can help out with any needed/wanted/whatever tweeks
and fixes.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE
read them!!!
Happy Landings!

SF2 E-767 AWAC and KC-767 Cargo/Refueler Aircraft by Veltro2K
= For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's KC and E-767 aircraft.
It is REQUIRED that you have -at the VERY minimum- a Full-4 merged install. However, the AWACs makes use of SF2NA coding, and is NA is REQUIRED for everything to (more of less) work properly. Also, as these reference the stock 3W destroyed model (closest fit in shape, but not size...). Hence, the need for a Full 5 Merged install. It is usable without, but you may not have the dead burning wreckage on the ground.
Included in this pack are the:
E-767 AWAC:
602 AACS, JASDF
KC-767 Refuler/Cargo Carrier:
14 Stormo, AMI
401 Squadron, JASDF
Skins remain in their bmp format; the KC-767 makes use of Brain32's trick of having the one skin, resued for both, residing in MAIN aircraft folder. Decal radomization is set to TRUE (well, there's 4 aircraft for each user!). A user list is supplied for the KC-767.
New damage textures are supplied, in DDS format. The skins have been 'partly' redone. The partial template I used in included. Other skinners are encouraged to 'have at it'
While this mod IS supplied with a cockpit, the Standard Waring Disclaimer for these High Value Assets remains: let the AI handle them. As AFR isn't part of the game ... the word we're looking for is "eye candy".
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 these aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, as there HAVE been changes and additions in several of the inis you may wish to examine, mostly in respect to SF2NA, you may wish to replace the originals with these.
**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**.
Happy Landings!

SF2 Egyptian Air Force Macchi Mc-205 (DAT)
= For SF2 (Full4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED + expansion pak 1!)
*Designed for use in the standard/stand alone SF2:I Mods folder*
**Expansion Pak 1 is/may be required as the destroyed model references the stock 3W P-51D
Mustang's destroyed model**
***This mod -MAY- work in 1stGen game installs. But this has not/cannot be tested by
me. Some (ok many) functions, etc will NOT be available in SF/Wo* . Skins will need conversion to bmp format, etc and so forth. End Users that attempt to do so, do so at their own risk. No support is/will be available***
This pak contains mods for the Dev A-Teams Mc-205, that recreate the aircraft as used by
the EAF in the late 1940s.This is a semi-complete aircraft mod, and as per DAT directives, the aircraft lod is =NOT= included. So, those users that cannot access the DAT downloads, you're advised to skip
this, as it's of no use to you. Everything else is included (pretty much!).
Those users with access, =WILL= be transfering the lod from either a seperate DAT download
of the Mc-205, or copy/pasting it from their/your Wings Over Africa WW2 Mod (suggested).
This mod has been (re)built and tested with the
Mc-205-R2.LOD (dated 8/30/2010)
from their WW2 Wings Over Africa TC Mod. You WILL need THAT, to copy/paste into THIS
aircraft's folder. You should be able to d/l from their site (seperate aircraft), in the
usual manner as well.
*Please Note: this mod has NOT been tested with the seperate aircraft download's LOD, Mc-
205-R1.lod (dated 2/7/2007). However, there is no reason to expect it NOT to work. Your
mileage may vary.*
This pacakge contains 1 (almost) complete aircraft. This is a reissue of my EAF Mc-205
from many moons ago...now, with some improvements!
The skin represents No. 2 Squadron, ®EAF circa 1948-1950; just in time for the Israeli
War of Indepencence. They are in jpg format.
All national markings are painted on, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. Serial
numbers are accurate, and in Arabic characters. The canopy has been switched to the
Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0.
The 'fake pilot method' has been used to add the underwing pylons. Loadouts have been
adjusted (postiioning) accordingly.
A 'new' cockpit has been used, one of Stary's WW2 pits (the Italian one).
Weapons (Italian bombs and drop tanks) are included; these are SF2 conversions of those
from the WoA mod.
The FM is based off the 205 from the Wings Over Africa Total Conversion Mod, and may need
further small adjustments. Expecially in the Post May 2013 Patch World.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE
read them!!! All the original DAT readmes are included, for historical and
ownership/copyright purposes.
It is HIGHLY suggested you unzip this archive, and READ the install instructions BEFORE
installing this mod. So you know EXACTLY what to do..
Good Hunting!

PS: although not exactly a WW2 aircraft (although the WW2 Italian AF used them) I'm placing it here only for convienice of location.
SF2 WW2 PBY-5A Catalina by Veltro2K
= For SF2, (Full 5 RECCOMENDED!!!) =
**NOTE: due to the EXTENSIVE modifications performed on the various inis, this mod will !!Absolutely!! =NOT= work in SF/Wo* game at any patch level. A FUll 5 Merged install is required, due to the use of SF2NA statements in the data ini, pertaining to Naval Search and Naval Strike.**
This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's WW2 PBY-5A Catalina flying boat patrol bomber aircraft.
While the Game Engine dosent support amphidexterious operations off water, the wing floats extend/retract with the H (arrestor hook) key.
This pack contains just the single skin, USN42. This is a rather 'generic' skin, and represents USN VP squadrons from approximately May 1942, when the red ball and rudder stripes were removed. This also -more or less- coincides with the the arrival in greater strentgh in squadron service, of the -5A amphibibian version (which this is), replacing the -4 and -5 seaplane only variant.
Other skins ARE needed; the template for this aircraft should be available still in the SF/Wo* 1stGen downloads section. If not, I'll upload my copy. (we could use RNFAA, RNZAF, USN 3-tone and overall Black for the "Black Cats")
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read, too
The Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, you SHOULD redownload this pak; . There HAVE been MANY changes and additions in several of the inis, in respect to SF2NA.
**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**.
