Vought/Goodyear FG-1D Corsair (F4U-1D) Fuerza Aérea Salvadoreña (El Salvador Air Force) (wolf257)
 
-- For SF2, Any and All Versions
 
(Full-4 Merged reccomended, and/or SF2V due to the use of the destroyed A-1 Skyraider model*)
 
Many modifications and a complete reskin of Wolf257s F4U Corsair into those as used by the El Salvadoran Air Force. This is a complete aircraft, ready to unzip and fly away. Weapons, sounds, skins, decals, etc (for the most part!) are all included. This is basically the version I released in 2009, now uprated for SF2 usage with a new flight model and other minor tweeks.
 
This mod makes use of the latest patch level tweeks for randomization of aircraft serial/ID numbers. So, make sure you're at least at June 2011 or above level. Included are a new SF2-style hangar screen, some weapons, engine sound and a pilot figure. A Userlist is included, even though this is a "Nationalized" version. The WW2-era bombs are NOT included; you can find them in the GunnyPak, or edit the loadout ini to use stock 3rdWire ones, if you have SF2:Is Expansion Pak 1.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install.
 
Happy Landings!

*=unless you download the 'WW2 Destroyed Planes Pak', and edit the data ini to point the wreck of your choice
 
(and yes, the appropriate terrain IS still being worked on!!)

Vought F4U-5 Corsair, Fuerza Aérea Hondureña (Honduran Air Force) (TMF/MM)
 
- For SF2, Any and All,
 
This is a modification of The Mirage Factory's F4U-7 (French Navy version), into the earlier, and almost identical (albiet modified), F4U-5 version as used by the Honduran Air Force in the 1950s and 60s. TMF original -7 readme is included. This is an SF2 revamp of the version I uploaded a few years ago.

This is a COMPLETE aircraft, with almost all the trimmings, ready to unzip and fly away. Many tweeks have been performed on this, mostly by Column5 to the FlightModel. Some data ini mods by me (duplicating the HVAR stations) alow for wingfold and the ordanance to "stay put" the pylons. Canopy & wingfold is activated by manual animation keys; use Shift/0 for the canopy, Shift/9 for wingfold. Obviously, the FAH dosen't have carriers, but research indicated that the wingfold was never disabled. As always, all the external lighting has been updated to be historically/mechanically correct.
 
As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs/requires/should have, to make it a LOT easier to install. Also, please review the Legal disclaimers at the bottom - some changes have been implimented.
 
Special thanks to TMF, and Sony Tuckson in particular for permission to include all the bits and pieces. Many Thanks man!
 
Happy Landings!

F4U Corsair WW2 Pak (Wolf257)
 
= For SF2, Any & All (Full 5 Merged Reccomended*) =
 
Designed for use =ONLY= in a stand-alone SF2-based WW2 PTO Mods Folder!!!
 
*Note: Full-5 Merged reccomended, due to the use of SF2NA style 'carrier based' statements in the
aircraft's data inis. Working WW2-era aircraft carriers (and escorts) are required as well as
Terrains with working SF2NA-style _water.bmps and NavalMap=TRUE). There is a 98.6% 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.
Please note, that in the case of NavalMap Terrains, USMC & RNZAF
aircraft =WILL= be flying off carriers, regardless that said aircraft versions/squadrons did or did
not in Real Life ™. It's a Game Engine "bug" that can only be fixed by have both a land-based and
carrier-based version of the aircraft (ie: "Nationalized")*
 
This is a compliation of all the work done to date on Wolf257's Corsairs, from 1stGen WW2 mods, converted, adjusted,tweeked, etc, for use in the SF2 environment. This package is designed (read: WILL) replace all other
previously released versions/variants/mods of these aircraft.
 
This package holds 6 complete aircraft, with all their skins and decals:
 
Corsair MK.IV (RNFAA- BPF)
F4U-1 (USMC Birdcage 'Stand In')
F4U-1A (USN, USMC, RNZAF)
F4U-1D (USN, USMC, RNZAF)
F4U-2 (Radar Equiped Nightfighter; USN, USMC)
F4U-4 (USN, USMC) *by TMF, specific for WW2*
 
For squadrons represented, just look in each aircraft's folder.
 
New cockpits, from the TMF -4/-7/AU-1 are being used on the Mk.IV, -1D. The -2 is using the radar-
equiped cockpit from the -5N. While not fully hisorically correct, they have the proper "look and
feel" for the era. The -1 & -1A still uses the original Wolf cockpit. With a small "enhancement"
Data inis (FM), loadouts, userlists, etc meet (almost, FM-wise) the latest standard. All skins are in
Jpg format, and decal randomization is TURE. See 'Notes' for more details.
All weapons are included, in SF2 formatting, as are sounds and a pilot figure.
 
Supplied, for Optional Use, is a slightly modified SquadronList.ini, with small name changes to some
USN & USMC squadrons, that may (or may not!) show the correct squadron name on the Loadout Screen.
Also supplied is a 'backdated' SCB-125_Data.ini for SF2NA users that will allow the anachronism of a
1950s-era angled-deck Essex class CV to work in WW2 (that also has =NO= working guns!!).
 
Good Hunting!

Vought Corsair MK.2, RN Fleet Air Arm, ETO
 
= For SF2, Any & All (FUll 5 Merged Reccomended*) =
 
A little something for the ETO-centric WW2 players!
 
Designed for use =ONLY= in a stand-alone SF2-based WW2 ETO Mods Folder!!!
 
*Note: Full-5 Merged reccomended, due to the use of SF2NA style 'carrier based' statements in the aircraft's data inis. Working WW2-era aircraft carriers (and escorts) are required as well as Terrains with working SF2NA-style _water.bmps and NavalMap=TRUE). There is a 98.6% 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 x2: this is Wolf's Corsair, NOT the TMF version, available elsewhere
 
This pack represents aircraft from 1842 Naval Air Squadron, Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, embarked on HMS FORMIDABLE during the time frame of the attacks against TIRPITZ.
Data inis (FM), loadouts, userlist, etc meet (almost, FM-wise) the latest standard. All skins are in Jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. A new DDS damage texture is included.
All weapons are included, in SF2 formatting.
A new SF2-compliant verison of the original 'box art' Hangar screen is included.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too
For historical purposes, my original readme from 2007 is included.
 
Good Hunting!

PLEASE READ THE README FILE INCLUDED !!!!!
 
The Northrop P-61 Black Widow, named for the venomous spider, was the first operational U.S. military aircraft designed specifically for night interception of opposing aircraft, and was the first aircraft specifically designed to use radar. The P-61 had a crew of three: pilot, gunner, and radar operator.
 
Like the original 1stGen Pak, this mod contains 2 complete aircraft:
P-61A
with 2 skins,
Olive Drab/Neutral Gray
and
Overall Black
The Black will become active using the "StartDefaultDate" switch.
P-61B
Overall Black
The P-61A does NOT have the top turret (as is historicaly correct). The P-61B DOES, and it will engage defensively (well, sorta offensively too) any E/A with range.
As a bonus, an 'experimental' version of the P-61A-1, WITH turret (but locked forward), and some engine modifications is included for those End Users with the skills and talents to try and dial in the WEP statements. The WEP is 'best guess', and historically was used on all Black Widow models (yes, the time IS correct! Right from the Pilot's Manual and other technical resources. But don't use it for longer than 5 minutes at a time!)

Hawker Typhoon Mk IB V2K
 
The Hawker Typhoon (Tiffy in RAF slang), was a British single-seat fighter-bomber, produced by Hawker Aircraft. It was designed to be a medium–high altitude interceptor, as a replacement for the Hawker Hurricane but several design problems were encountered and it never completely satisfied this requirement.

The Avro Lancaster is a British four-engined Second World War heavy bomber designed and built by Avro for the Royal Air Force (RAF). It first saw active service with RAF Bomber Command in 1942 and, as the strategic bombing offensive over Europe gathered momentum, it became the main heavy bomber used by the RAF, the RCAF, and squadrons from other Commonwealth and European countries serving within the RAF, overshadowing its close contemporaries the Handley Page Halifax and Short Stirling.The "Lanc", as it was affectionately known,thus became the most famous and most successful of the Second World War night bombers, "delivering 608,612 long tons of bombs in 156,000 sorties."
