SF2 WW2/Post-War Lockheed P-38L Lightning 4/9/2014
-- Something for, well, Anyone! --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
Some mods for Wolf257's P-38L Lightning give you a version for late WW2 and the early Post War Time frame.
While keeping the standard WW2 start date, the service time has been extended to include some use by the newly formed USAF (post October, 1947). Meaning, retirement date is December 1949 (approximately true!). This is =NOT= a "What If..." aircraft.
2 skins are included, both are in Natural Metal. They're names are:
NM (a generic type, with plane-in-group numbers)
USAF (with post-1947 markings)
There are no squadron or unit markings for either skin. There is litterally NO data available.
The NM skin can be used pretty much anywere for WW2. The USAF skin will automtically "switch on" in 10/1947.
All new skins (now with rivets!!) are in jpg format. Both aircraft use a 'pool' of Serial numbers and they should be considered 'generic' in nature, but ARE for the model variant depicted. The post-1947 skin has the addition of "Buzz Numbers", that have the correct letter prefix assigned to P-38s
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All weapons, sounds, and a pilot figure are included. Both skins have individual Hangar Screens.
When in game, you'll see:
P-38L Lightning (Post War) (w)
This, and the folder being name "P-38L_pw" will seperate it from any WW2 types you may have. The "PW" is for "Post War". The "W" is for Wolf, further diferentiating this from other Lightnings that you may or may not have.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!
Good Hunting!

The Messerschmitt Me 262 Schwalbe (English: "Swallow") of Nazi Germany was the world's first operational jet-powered fighter aircraft.Design work started before World War II began, but engine problems and top-level interference prevented the aircraft from attaining operational status with the Luftwaffe until mid-1944. Compared with Allied fighters of its day, including the British jet-powered Gloster Meteor, it was much faster and better armed.One of the most advanced aviation designs in operational use during World War II,the Me 262 was used in a variety of roles, including light bomber, reconnaissance and even experimental night fighter versions.

SF2 WW2 SEAC Bristol Beaufighter NF Mk.1 (Late), v.9 by Cocas 3/26/2014
-- Something for the WW2 CBI/SEAC players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, at any patch level. It was built for SF2 ONLY!!.*
*Note x2: This mod represents late production Beau NF Mk.1s for South East Asia Command ONLY! This is a seperate version for CBI usage ONLY, as their start/end dates tend to differ. Meaning: for your CBI Mods Folder.*
This here is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co. . This package represents the late production Beaufighter NF Mk.1s. These marks =HAVE= the dihedral horizontal stabs (they point up).
We are calling this "version 0.9", as there exists the possibility of more work being required. But, we wanted to get them out into the hands of our WW2 End Users for their examination and so forth.
This pack contains the following aircraft & skin/decal sets:
Beaufighter NF Mk.1 (Night Fighter) in Standard SEAC Day Scheme, with Night Unders
No. 176 Squadron (as seen at various airbase in East Bengal)
The Squadron Crest is used as the paint chip seen on the Loadout Screen.
Skins are in jpg format, as are the bump maps. Damage textures are in DDS. Everything is included, excepting the guns (you should have all these already). No bombs or rockets; these are NF Mk.1s, not equipped for them. However, I've allowed you other mission statements, in particular, Armed Recon. You've got plenty of 'gun power' for Truck Hunting.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. It should be noted, that research has indicated varying numbers of NF Mk.1s arriving in India - some sources say 6, some 8, some 12. I've taken the lazy mans way out, and given you the 'generic' 26 plane-in-group letters. In Real Life , Mk. VI, Mk.X and TF Mk.X began arriving in theatre sometime in mid-late 1943.
All serials, while correct for the variant depicted, should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent no specific aircraft with the units represented.
When in-game, you'll see:
Beaufighter NF Mk.I (Late) (CAF)
for these aircraft. The "CAF" (for Cocas Aircraft Factory) will diferentiate these Beaus from any others you may or may not have.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
Happy Hunting!

SF2 WW2 MTO Lockheed P-38J, 1st FG 3/1/2014
-- Something for the WW2 MTO players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
This is a 'remod' package, fully revamping some earlier 1stGen skins by Gocad for Wolf257's P-38J Lightning. This is the full aircraft package, with all the goodies included (weapons, pilot, sounds, cockpit, etc).
This package represents the 1st FG during late 1944 through war's end, as based in Italy. This is all 3 squadrons:
27th FS
71st FS
94th FS
All new skins (now with rivets!!) are in jpg format. Each squadron has the correct plane-in-squadron numbering sequence, and squadron color flashes. All aircraft use a 'pool' of Serial numbers, and they should be considered 'generic' in nature, but ARE for the model variant depicted.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. Each skin is represented by the WW2 squadron patch, as seen on the Loadout screen selection drop-down menu.
When in game, you'll see:
P-38J Lightning (W)
The W is for Wolf257. This will diferentiate this P-38J for any other you may (or may not) have.
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them!

SF2 WW2 PTO P-38F/G Lightning Pak 3/20/2014
-- Something for the PTO players --
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*There is a distinct possibility 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.*
Mods/reskins/redecaling for Wolf257's P-38F aircaft. This pak replaces my SF/Wo* 1stGen 'generic' PTO P-38F. It is designed to represent P-38F/G model Lightnings as seen in the SoWesPac Theatre, in particular the Solomons Islands.
The aircraft carries the markings of the 339th FS, 347th FG as seen in late 1942 through late 43. This is pretty representative of all early Lightings in theatre at this time frame.
This is the full aircraft, and is complete with everything needed (except bombs & guns; you should have these already).
The skin is in jpg format (now! with rivets!), Decal Randomization is TRUE. Damage textures are DDS format.
When In Game, you'll see
P-38F Lightning (W)
The (W) indicates this as a Wolf257 aircraft, and will differentiate it from any other P-38Fs you may (or may not) have.
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
Remember -- these are very old models, so they "are as they is". All original readmes, when discoverable, are included.
Good Hunting!

Short Stirling MK1
The Short Stirling was the first four-engined British heavy bomber of the Second World War. The Stirling was designed and built by Short Brothers to an Air Ministry specification from 1936, and entered service in 1941. The Stirling had a relatively brief operational career as a bomber, being relegated to second line duties from 1943 onwards when other four-engined RAF bombers, specifically the Handley Page Halifax and Avro Lancaster, took over its role, but fulfilled a major role as a glider tug and resupply aircraft during the allied invasion of Europe in 1944-1945.

SF2 WW2 DLC #28 S-99 (Bf-109G) Mod Pak 3/10/2014
-- Something for the WW2 players --
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
*You =MUST= have DLC #28 to gain access to the stock 3W S-99 Lods*
Some modifications to the DLC Avia S-99, 'backdate' it to its WW2 beginnings.
The aircraft has had several modifications, not the least of which is the
renaming to BF-109.
The skin is a 'base' light grey (RLM 81?). All new panel and rivet lines have
been drawn in. There is NO camoflague pattern, nor are the control surfaces
fabric lines drawn in.
The templates I created ARE included, in the hopes someone can make use of them
and finish off the aircraft. Due to the resolution of the stock skins I used, I
was unable to see the control surface lines well enough, or to find a drawing
that matched well enough to try drawing them.
Several ini mods add a 'fake pilot' belly rack, so the drop tank or single bomb
will have something to attach too (as the Lod does NOT have this mesh). Some
modification to FM statements try to bring it closer to published data. It may
need further tuning by experts.
Canopy opens with the Standard Animation Keystroke (Shift/0)
The skin included is a 'base' Luftwaffe (albeit, again with no camo). The
markings represent 11/JG 77 in late 1944. All markings are decals, and decal
randomization is TRUE.
When in-game, you'll see:
Bf-109G10 (3W)
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are
included. So, please =READ= them BEFORE installing this mod!!!.
With any luck, one of our Expert skinners will grab this, and give us some
nice Luftwaffe skins.
Happy Hunting!

SF2 WW2 MTO USAAF P-40F Pak 2/24/2014
-- Something for the WW2 MTO 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 and FM adjustments and several other things) will =NOT= be functional. Use in 1stGens has not, and cannot be, tested by me.*
**Notex2: this mod is designed for use =ONLY= in a MTO-Centric mods folder**
At first, I was just going to do a simple skin/decals pack. But with all the "modifications" made to fit into SF2 chose to take the "lazy man's way out" and am just uploading the entire aircraft. So, if you already have Raven's P-40F in your MTO-centric mods folder, best to back it up someplace. You can, of course, re-add any other skins at your convience.
This is the full aircraft, with my 'tweeked' sf2-ish data ini. The skin included is for...
64th FS, 57 FG "Black Scorpions"
as seen from late 1942 in North Africa.
Skins remain in their bmp format.
New DDS damage textures (usable on all Raven's Warhawk/Kittyhawk in SF2 only) are included!
All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. There are no nose arts. 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 an SF2 Version of the drop tank (for those that haven't converted it yet). New theatre-specific Hangar and Loading screens are included, too. Actually, you have 2 loadings screens to choose from.
When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop-down, you'll see
P-40F-5 CU (Raven)
This will diferentiate this for any other Warhawks you may (or may not) have.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!
