SF2_IDF_V2K_B-17s
= Tested in  Full-5 Merged installation
This project started as a personal customization to have the Israeli skins for Veltro 2K B-17F/G.
In 1948 the IDF/AF found four  B-17G in a dump in Florida and bought them.The planes were in very poor conditions, stripped of the turrets and instruments.Three were made airworty and flew via Azores to Czechoslovakia, there received additional and better instruments ( some war-time Luftwaffe gunsights,ecc...) and loaded with bomb.On their way to Israel, one bombed Cairo and the other two Egyptian positions in Sinai.
The fate of the fourth bomber was less succesful, because the raids of the first three on Egypt prompted a FBI investigation and , cut a long story short, the plane was seized by authority in the Azores, as the crew involved choose to rest after the trip instead of refuel the bird and take off as soon possible.
The bombers were assigned to the 69 Squadron The Hammers at Hatzor and given serial number 1601,1602 and 1603, and by the end of the War of Indepenence the B-17s had flown over 200 missions.
At the time of the Suez crisis the Fortresses were out of service but two were brought back in action with changed two-digit serial numbers and incomplete camouflage ( only brown instead of the standard  brown-blue over silk grey).
During their operational use the planes were painted in different way, comprised NMF and with various artwork applied, but this wasn't my focus.

To Install:
As always raccomended,all in the relative folders in your game(s)

Credits:
Veltro 2K for the models
Me for the decals and the skins

------------
Know issue:
This modest pack contain both the F and G model despite Israel bought only G model. My choice was dictated by the fact that during the War of Independence the planes were armed only woth the waist and tail guns in a indigenous modification, the rear bulkhead of the tail position conmpletely removed and equipped with twin .03 inch machineguns. For these reason I opted for the B-17F in my mod
By the time of the Suez action ( in reality even before) the complete armament was restored, here my choice for the B-17G.
In 1956 the s/N 23 had the chin turret replaced by a search radar for maritime patrol, but I'm absolutely unable to modify the models as I'm not a modder, so you will be fly with the gun turret in his place.
I choose to add the fourth plane ,just to have one more, despite never arrived in Israel.

SF2 P-47D-40 Thunderbolt Upgrade/Update Pack       2/5/2020
-For SF2, Any and All (Full 5 Merged Reccomended)
This is a small update for the P-47D-40 Thunderbolts used in the last year of WW2, and into the Post-War Era. It is designed for use on the -40 Jug that Cocas and I built. You can find the full aircraft at the following URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/16542-sf2-ww2-eto-p-47d-40-late/
The package is built to just "drop in" over the existing inis (overwrite), and included updated data, loadout and user lists to futher reflect the P-47Ds use in the Post-War world. Loadout changes add "date switched" CAS/AR loads from WW2s 'Triple Bazooka' to HVAR rockets. All weapons are included. It has been tested in both the WW2 and Post-War environments. 
Several new or updated skins are also included:
525th FBS ~1947/49 as part of the Occupation Forces in Germany
1º Grupo de Caca, Brazilian AF, in their post-war (1946-57) scheme 
GC II/20 "Ouarsenis" Armée de l'Air as seen/used in Algeria in the late 1950s
All aircraft are in NMF and With the exception of painted on special squadron or national markings, all others are decals. Decal Randomization is TRUE. The Serials on the FAB Jug are 100% historically correct. The AdA skin can be used as a basis for other units that served in Algeria (or France) during the post-war timeframe.  All 3 new skins have their own Hangar Screens.
As is always reccomended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. The "Notes" section has more information on proper usage of these Post-War skins. Please =READ= them!!
Happy Landings!

This is to represent the Post War RCAF B-25 scheme used from 1951 to 1958.
To be used on the B-25 that can be found here :
Serials and plane numbers are accurate BUT not squadron specific.
I do know the RCAF Post War were not armed in real life, so this part is not accurate :)
Just copy and paste to the right folders and go fly!
Thanks to :

- Wrench         B-25
