SF2 WW2 ETO, RAF Mitchell Mk. II (B-25C/D) 7/19/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
A 'nationalization' of Veltro2k's =NEW= B-25C/D recreates the Mitchell Mk.II as use by the RAF in Europe in WW2.
 
There are 2 skin/decals set(s) in the package, both for No 98 Squadron (in standard USAAF finish). They are:
 
98 (in "normal" clothing)
98_44 (with D-Day Invasion stripes)
 
As seen in Northwestern Europe, from 1943 through the war's end.
The skins are in jpg format,
The serials are accurate for the version depicted, but should to be considered 'generic' as they represent no particular squadron or aircraft within a particular squadron.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. This will make it easy for other texture artists to recreate the other RAF Mitchell units (including Free French, and Free Netherlands).
Please note, this mod is supplied with 2 cockpits -- the 'generic' bomber pit, and one with a working bombsight (from the Invader). While not perfect, the bombsight WORKS. To learn how, =PLEASE= read the enclosed PDF.
For those not wanting to use the Invader pit, instructions on switching back to the 'generic' one are in the "Notes" section below.
No bombs or guns are included; you should have the RAF bombs and all the standard issue machine guns already. Pilot figures and sounds however, are included.
 
In game, on the aircraft selection drop down screen, you'll see:
 
Mitchell Mk.II (v2k)
 
This will make sure you choose the right one (even if there aren't any other RAF Mitchells available).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations.
 
Good Hunting!!

This is a "Theatre Specific" release of Veltro2K's =NEW= B-25D Mitchell Medium Bomber. This represents the "field modified" versions, that painted over the glass nose, and installed additional machine guns, creating the 'strafer' version. This package =ONLY= represents Mitchells used in the PTO/SoWesPac region. However, research has NOT indicated their use anywhere other than the New Guinea and neighboring regions for this Mitchell variant.

This is a "Theatre Specific" release of Veltro2K's =NEW= B-25C/D Mitchell Medium Bomber. This package =ONLY= represents Mitchells used in the PTO/SoWesPac region.
Reminder: this is the Glass Nosed, bombadier equipped version, NOT the multi-gun nosed strafer version. Those will come later, as they are finished.
However, Because these skins carry no distinguishing squadron markings, they'd be usable throughout the Pacific Basin, and even into the CBI theatre (read: AAF units in China and India).

SF2 WW2 CBI Vickers Wellington Mk.X 7/5/2014
 
-- Something for the CBI players --
 
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*There is a probability 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.*
 
**Note: These aircraft should =ONLY= be used in a seperate CBI-centric mods folder to
prevent them from showing up where, historically, they shouldn't. The
Aircraft/GroundObject sets for CBI are substantially different from Central or
SouthWest Pacific areas. Be advised, the actual India/Burma/SEA terrain has been
greatly delayed due to "some issues". Eventually, I'll get back to it.**
 
This pack contains a modifided/reskinned version of Veltro2K's Wellington for use in
the Burma-India Theatre by the RAF. This is the complete aircraft.
The unit represented is:
 
No. 99 Sqdn "Madras Presidency"
 
from June 1942 thru September 1944, when they requipped with Liberators.
 
The skin remains in bmp format, and decal rendomization is TRUE. ALL markings are
decals.
Engine and other sounds are included. Bombs, pilot figures, guns are not; you should
have these already.
 
On the Aircraft Selection Drop-down, you'll see
 
Wellington Mk. X (v2k)
 
(even though there's only veltro's Wellingtons availalbe -- it's habit!)
 
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 Hunting!

**The 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**

The Heinkel He 177 Greif ("griffin") was the only operational long-range bomber to be flown in combat by the Luftwaffe during World War II. In general terms, the He 177 had payload/range capability similar to strategic bombers in the USAAF and RAF, although it had much higher cruise and maximum speeds.

= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*** ***
This package contains a modded version of the TMF/MM F4U-5 (built from the radar equipped nightfighter version, the -5NL), with various components removed. Almost all data ini edits (removals and such) were performed by CrazyhorseB34. Minor adjustments by me.
 
This pak represents F4U-5 Corsair fighter-bombers in the early and mid 1950s.
 
Skins/Decal sets are included for the following units:
 
VF-14 "Tophatters" (CV-18 Med '51-52)
VMA-212 "Devil Cats" (possibly in Korea?)
 
The aircraft is fully carrier-capable, with all the SF2NA coding for deck 'parking'.
Skins are in jpg format. Most markings are decals and Decal Randomization is TRUE.
Weapons are not included; you should have them already. However, the pilot and engine sounds are.
Standard Animations Keystrokes ™ are used for the canopy (Shift/0) and wing fold (shift/9).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them before installing. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
 
Good Hunting, and Happy Landings!

SF2 KAW F4U-4/F4U-4B Corsair Pak, Ver 2 by TMF/MM 6/18/2014
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
***Note: This pack replaces in total the TMF F4U-4 & F4U-4B Corsairs for KAW that were released several years ago. If you have the original KAW versions in you KAW mods folder, you =MUST= delete the F4U-4 and F4U-4B aircraft & decal folders from your game -BEFORE- installing this version. There have been a NUMBER of changes, and having the original still around =will= cause conflicts. In particular, this mod makes use of the TMF F4U-7.lod, with various components removed. As this aircraft uses SF2NA coding for carrier operations, having a Full-5 Merged install is a reccomended requirement. Those that "disapprove" of using the -7 Lod are cordially invited, and encouraged, =NOT= to download this mod. You have been warned!! ***
 
This package contains remods of the F4U-4/-4B Corsairs for use during the Korean War. There are 2 complete aircraft in this pak, with a ship-load of skins/decal sets.
If you have the originals from the "KAW Corsairs Pak" issued in 2013, you are advised to either delete or otherwise remove =BOTH= the aircraft and decals subfolders. These are designed to REPLACE, in total, those older orignal versions.
The AU-1 and F4U-5NL are NOT in this pak; only the -4s

The aircraft is fully carrier-capable, with all the SF2NA coding for deck 'parking'.
Skins are in jpg format. All markings are decals and Decal Randomization is TRUE. BuNums are accurate for the aircraft variant(s) depicted, but not for the actual ones used by the squadrons; consider them 'generic' for that purpose.
Like the original pak, all weapons, engine sound and pilot figure are included. The machine guns and cannons are not; these you should have already. A couple of new or updated weapons have been included (see Notes for more details), including new Mk.5 rocket rails by Raven.
Standard Animations Keystrokes ™ are used for the canopy (Shift/0) and wingfold (shift/9). The aircraft will now appear on the boat, parked properly with folded wings.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them before installing. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
