    2. Sikorsky R-4B / HNS-1 / Hoverfly Mk.1

      Sikorsky R-4B/HNS-1/Hoverfly Mk.1
       

      This is a third party addon of Sikorsky R-4B/HNS-1 helicopter.
      The original flight model is standard as on many free to download helicopters modified by me. I am not using airbrakes or flaps but flying fast and slow is stil possible, even hovering with little practice.
      It is designed for and works only in SF2 series. And will never work in SF1.

      ANIMATION 2 - left side door.
       
      This is beta file.
      Better to share than store on hard drive.
      If someone wants to improve something let me know.
      Templates for pit or skins are available on pm request.
       
      Simple cockpit included.
      Flying.
      As with all my previous helos flying is quite easy. With little practice you can even hoover. Without fake flaps and airbrakes.
      Important here to control is using rudder and vector thrust control.
      Normaly throtle vector control on 88-89 degree increase power 55% wait little and then increase to 100% and helo will take off nicely. 341 version got little less power in engine.
       
       
       
      Skins.
      Each aircraft got one set of skins representing USArmy Air Corps, Royal navy And US Coast Guard.
       
      All serial numbers are historicaly correct.. As far as I know.
       
      Decals for USCG and Royal Navy by Coupi.
      Pilot is from Korea Mod but I don't know who is creator of this model. All credit to him.
       

      Have fun.
      Hope you will enjoy it same as me when working on it.
      Edit and report bugs.

      Thanks for all kind support.

    3. B-24J Liberator (Pasko), Indian Air Force, Ver.2

      Consolidated B-24J, Indian Air Force ver.2
       
      For SF2, Full-5 Merged (with Expansion Pak 1 Reccomended, for bombs)
       
      This is Version 2.0 of Pasko's B-24J "Liberator", to recreate those as rebuilt for use by the Indian Air Force.
      Designed for use with in India/Pakistan stand-alone install.
       
      This version is designed to REPLACE the version originally released in 2011 for the Indo-Pak mod.
       
      A brand new skin, in jpg format, from my (finally!) completed Home Grown template ™.
      The decals are 100% historically accurate for the serial numbers. Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
      Flight model, while somewhat tweeked by me is "OK", for a heavy bomber. However it NEEDS to be completly gone through by an FM Guru, as there are many 'issues'. It is NOT advised that is be used by the player, but to let the AI control it.
       
      Some data ini tweeks remove some of the guns, and the lower ball turret, and convert it to a surface-search radar dome (ASV), via the FakePilot method. A new avionics ini is included. Be advised, there is NO radar display in the cockpit .. in Real Life ™ this would have been (probably) in the radio compartment, aft of the bomb bays. All lighting positions have been corrected, and where necessary, new ones added to their proper places.
      The weapons loadout makes use of the stock, Expansion Pak 1 M57 & M64 WW2 era bombs.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them .... Of course, the expected "Notes" section with comments, suggestions, and whatnots. Be in one's own best interest to read them.
       
      Happy Landings!

    4. SF2 F-82G Twin Mustang, Korean War Era by KAW Team

      SF2 F-82G Twin Mustang, Korean War Era by KAW Team
       
      = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      *This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, due to the MAX level used to create it. It is HIGHLY suggested you be at the latest SF2 patch level for the mod to work properly*
       
      This is the NAA F-82G "Twin Mustang" as operated by the USAF during the Korean War.
       
      This is a BRAND NEW MODEL!!!, created expecially for KAW. You will probably want to delete any other Twin Mustang you may (or may not!) have. This will replace it completely.
       
      This pack comes with 3 skins:
       
      4th AWS
      68th AWS
      339th AWS
       
      as used in the Air Defense of Japan, and over Korea itself. All aircraft are finished in 'Night Black".
      All skins and damage textures are in DDS format. Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
      All sounds, weapons, pilot figures and goodies are included. A New SF2-style 'box art' hangar is included (rebuilt from the 1stGen version).
       
      The Standard Animation Keystroke ™ operate the canopies (Shift/0).
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, might want to give the "Notes" section a look-see, for further explinations, illuminations, and operational notes.
       
      Good Hunting!

    5. SF2 Korean War Era A-26B Invader Pak

      SF2 Korean War Era A-26B Invader Pak
       
      = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      *Note: This mod will most likely =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs at any patch level, due usage of the latest TW Exporter, and DDS format skins. End Users ™ that attempt it, do so at their own risk. A Full 5 Merged install is reccomened at the LATEST patch level.*
       
      *Note: this aircraft =WILL= replace any other A/B-26B Invader you may (or may not) have. It's HIGHLY advisable you delete said aircraft and decals from your game install*
       
      *Note: (again!) In 1947, the "A" for "Attack" designation was removed from use, and the A-26 Invader renamed to B-26 Invader (for Light Bomber Squadrons). Also, with the retirement of the Martin B-26 Marauder after WW2, the name was "open for reuse". To that end, the displayed name on the Single Mission screen will read "A-26B Invader (B-26B)".
       
      The skins represent aircraft from the 13th BS, 3rd BG, as seen in Korea. Aircraft are finished in 'Night Intruder Black". Serial numbers and nose are are 98.6% historically correct; nose arts are matched to the aircraft's serial and ID Letter, via exhaustive research (oh, boy it was!).
       
      Weapons are NOT included; they can be found in the KAW Weapons Pak. However, the 'para-illuminator flare pod' is, for those pesky night interdiction mission. In fact, just as a CYA measure, my /Effect folder is included (which is also available in one of the KAW Mod Paks -forget which one, exactly!)
      Pilot figures, sounds are included, as is a SF2-style version of the my original "Box Art" Hangar screen. A Userlist.ini was also created.
       
      The canopy opens with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.

    6. Grumman F8F Bearcat

      The Bercat was the swansong of USN piston-engine planes.
      Geo made a fantastic plane and I asked him to upgrade and fix,
      but he's out of modding and not aswered my request to share
      source files to allow someonelse to do it.
      At last I decided to upload the skins I made and the old ones
      I upgraded.
      The plane tunded for SF-2 has shadows turned off due the ropes I'ld like to cut.
      But the pilot and the included weapons naven't shadow too, so
      maybe it's not so bad to look at.
      Anyway take it as is, if you like.
      It's old but quite gold.
       
      What's in:
       
      8 - French Indochina Skins
      1 - NVPAF Skins
      3 - USN skins
      4 - RTAF skins
       
      - SF-2 last patch upgrade
       
      Credits:
       
      - Geo
       
      Install:
       
      - All in main mod folder

    7. SF2 WW2 PTO B-29 Superfortress Pak (Ver 2)

      SF2 WW2 PTO B-29 Superfortress Pak (Ver.2) 4/27/2015
       
      -- Something for the PTO players --
       
      = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      This is a revamp of the version released in April, 2013. There have been several major and minor changes. See the Change List in the Notes section for what got fiddled with.
       
      This is the complete aircraft, with all the skins, decals, sounds and whathaveyous needed.
      The 2 skins included are:
       
      498th BG 73rd BW (all 60 aircraft)
      509th Composite Group (the Atomic Bombers)
       
      Serials & nose arts for the 509th are 100% historically accurate. The 498th nose arts in some cases are interperative, some are historical. Serials/tail markings =ARE= 100% historical.
      Decal randomization is TRUE for both skins. The skins, due to their small size, remain in bmp format.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please READ them. For those users that have the 2013 version, you will be deleting the /B-29 folder from you PTO mods folder's /Aircraft main folder. Again, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS -- in fact, unzp the package FIRST, read them through, and then follow the instructions. If allowed to overwrite, bad things may happen.
      Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Be advised, the "Leagel Notice" also includes a small change. Which seems to be ignored by some people.

    8. SF2 KAW F4U-4/F4U-4B Corsair Pak, Ver 2 by TMF/MM

      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
       
      Several new skin sets by CrazyHorseB34 have been added to this package They are marked with a star (*) below. Skins/Decal sets are included for the following units:
       
      F4U-4:
      VF-24 "Renegades" (USS Boxer, 7/50-11/50)
      VF-32 "Swordsmen" (USS Leyte, 1950-51)*
      VF-63 "Fighting Redcocks" (USS Boxer 2/52-8/52)
      VF-64 "Freelancers" (same as above)
      VF-113 "Stingers"(USS Philippine Sea, 7/50-3/51)
      VF-114 "Excutioners" (same as above)
      VF-193 "Ghostriders" (USS Princeton, 1952)*
      VF-653 "Dragons" (USS Valley Forge, 51-52) *
      VF-871 (USS Essex, 51-52) *
      VF-884 "Bitter Birds" (USS Boxer, 1951 & USS Kearsarge 52-53) *
      VMF-312 "Checkboards" (Shore based, various fields in Korea)
       
      F4U-4B:
      VF-53 "Iron Angels" (USS Essex 1/51-3/52)
      VF-192 "Golden Dragons" (USS Princeton, 11/51-5/52)

      VF-791 "Fighting Rebels" (USS Boxer, 3/51-10/51)
      VMA-323 "Deathrattlers" (shore based, various fields in Korea)
      VMA-332 "Polka Dots" (USS Sicily ?? -flew off CVE)
      VMF-214 "Black Sheep" (shore based)
       
      *Please note, many Corsair squadrons flew both the -4 and -4B at the same time. There is one 'Easter Egg' squadron (totally fictious), as you all know how I hate wasting good skins/decal sets!!*
       
      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.
       
      Good Hunting, and Happy Landings!

    10. SF2 A-26C Invader Pak (Revamped) by Bobrock, Gerwin & Wrench

      SF2 A-26C Invader Pak (Revamped) by Bobrock, Gerwin & Wrench        3/5/2023
      = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccommended/Preferred) =
      *Note: This a semi=major overhaul of the original A-26C released in 2013. Gerwin has reworked many aspects of the model, and THIS MOD WILL REPLACE ALL OTHER EARLIER VERSIONS!!!  You are advised to move, remove, or delete any other versions of this you have in any/all mod folders. This new packaging covers the WW2 and post-war time frame. *
      *Note: (again!) In 1947, the "A" for "Attack" designation was removed from use, and the A-26 Invader renamed to B-26 Invader (for Light Bomber Squadrons). Also, with the retirement of the Martin B-26 Marauder after WW2, the number was "open for reuse". However, the displayed name on the Single Mission screen will read "A-26C Invader"; as that's what it be. BTW, this is the GLASS NOSED bomber version, with working Norden bombsight. Instructional PDF included.
      The revamp is supplied with 3 skins:
      552nd BS, 386th BG, 9th AF ETO (1944 start date)
      13th BS, 3rd BG (<1950) Korean War Era
      Generic NMF for any time period (10/47 start date)
      All skins are "natural metal", some with painted on national or squadron markings. The Generic NMF marking are ALL decals, and carries post-1947 USAF markings. The serial/Buzz numbers =ARE= correct for this aircraft, but represent no particular unit. This is true for the WW2 skins serials as well. The SF2 "Date Switch" is active, and will change from the WW2 to the post-war skin in October 1947.
      Weapons are =NOT= included; all stock items are used.The engine sound are included, it's been switched to the AvHistory R2600 x2 wav. Each skin has its own Hangar Screen.
      This aircraft is also equipped with a fully functional bombsight/bombadiar position. Included is Kesselbruts pdf on "How To Use the Bombsight". I'd suggest reading it however many times it takes, and to practice, Practice, PRACTICE!!! using it on the Bombing Range Terrain.
       
      The canopy opens with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0.
      When 'in game', you'll see
      A-26C Invader (BRG)
      on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu. This, also, will help to differentiate the aircraft from any other Invader you may (or may not) have. It stands for "Bobrock/Gerwin" as they did the real heavy lifting.
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
      Good Hunting!

    11. SF2 WW2 ETO B-26B/G Marauder Pak

      SF2 WW2 ETO B-26B/G Marauder Pak
       
      -- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
      = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      **Note: Having SF2I Expansion Pak 1 is HIGHLY reccomended, as the destroyed model referenced reach over to the stock destroyed C-47A. If you do =NOT= have Exp1, you will NOT have the burning wreck on the ground. You will have to locate some other destroyed model for use. Also, due to modifications to various inis, this mod will probably -NOT- work in 06 level 1stGen game installs. 08 Level 1stGens may have some issues, but this has not/cannot be tested by me.**
       
      This is a reissue of Veltro2K's B-26 Marauder Medium Bomber. It has been reskinned/redecaled and had some tweeking done. This mod ONLY represents Marauders used in the ETO. As they are (almost) identical aircraft, your in-game displayed name will read "B-26B/G Marauder"
       
      This units represented herein are...
       
      449th BS, 322nd BG, circa 1942 upon initial arrival in the ETO (star/circle) in OD/Grey
      449th BS, 322nd BG, cir3a 1943 til wars end, with 'star-and-bar' insignia, also in OD/Grey
      494th BS, 344th BG, circa 1944 til wars end, in "Natual Metal" (withOUT OD uppers)
       
      All skins are in jpg format, and have been remade from a new Home Grown ™ 'partial template'. All new Squadron Codes, plane-in-group and serial number decals were created. The 449th serials ARE historically accurate (90-95%), matched when possible to call letter. The 494th serials are 'generic' in nature, but are actual B-26G serials. All markings are decals, making in easier for skinners to recrate other ETO (or even MTO) units. There are only 2 nose art decals, both on the 449th skins, one for the 1942 and one for the 1943. None of these skins carry D-Day Invasion Stripes.
       
      It should be noted, do =NOT= use this mod in a PTO-centric mods folder; the Pacific Marauders are different, and will covered in another, theatre-specific upload.
       
      Engine sounds, pilot figures, BRAND new Hangar and Loading screens (in SF2 jpg format) are include. Bombs and guns are not; you should have them already. A user list is included. Operational service dates are rounded to 'whole months'.
       
      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, it's advised you delete the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is desinged to replace them in total..

    13. SF2 WW2 ETO B-17G Flying Fortress Pak

      SF2 WW2 ETO B-17G Flying Fortress Pak 9/1/2013
       
      -- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
       
      = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      **Note: Having any SF2 series game is HIGHLY reccomended, as this mod references the stock destroyed An-12. Also, due to modifications to various inis, and LOD exportation coding (Unicode) this mod will -NOT- work in1stGen games installs at ANY patch level.**
       
      This is the release of Veltro2K's B-17G Flying Fortress Heavy Bomber. This mod ONLY represents Forts used in the ETO.
      To eliminate any confusion with any other B-17Gs you may (or may not) have, your in-game displayed name will read "B-17G Flying Fortress (V2K)"
       
      There are 2 skins/decal sets in this pak. These represent 2 squadrons fron the 91st Bomb Group (of the 4), based in England...
       
      322nd BS - in standard OD over Grey (folder is called "OD43")
      323rd BS - in overall natural metal (folder is called "NM44")
       
      The skins make use of the "Start Date" statement, and will change accordingly in June, 44 from OD to NM. Although, historically, OD aircraft were seen up until VE-Day.
      All skins are in jpg format. All new Squadron Codes, plane-in-group and serial number decals were created. One may consider the serials as 'generic' in nature, but ARE correct for the model depicted, AND are actual serials for 17G's as used by both squadrons. It was impossible, however, to match serials to plane-in-group letters.
      All markings are decals, making in easier for skinners to recrate other ETO units (and by inference, MTO units). All lighting is historically correct.
      There are =NO= nose arts. Those with the desire (and talent) are encouraged to do the necessary legwork on research, running down the correct match between nose art, plane-in-group letter and serial number.
      The Skin templates ARE included. Look for the seperate folder "B17G templates -v2k", inside this zip.
       
      It should be noted, do =NOT= use this mod in a PTO-centric mods folder; these aircraft were NEVER used in the Pacific. Those wishing to recreate 15th AF (MTO) units are encouraged to do so.
       
      Engine sounds, pilot figures, BRAND new Hangar and Loading screens (in SF2 jpg format) are included. Bombs and guns are not included; you should have them already. Operational service dates are rounded to 'whole months'.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other EXCEEDINGLY!!!! important notations. The last round of patching (May/June/July 2013) seems to have induced some "issues" with Player Flown Heavies ™
       
      Happy Landings!!

    14. SF2 Douglas C-54 Skymaster by Veltro2K

      SF2 Douglas C-54 Skymaster by Veltro2K 9/23/2013
       
      = For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! =
       
      This the release of the Veltro2k's WW2 & Post-War US Cargo aircraft, made most famous by it's use during the Berlin Airlift.
       
      It is REQUIRED that you have some measure of SF2, merged to whatever level, as this mod references the stock An-12's destroyed model. Hence, the need (as I state it always) for a Full 5 Merged install. It is usable without, but you may not have the dead, burning wreckage on the ground. It has NOT been tested in 1stGen SF/Wo* at any patch level. It most likely will =NOT= work, due to LOD coding.
       
      This pack includes the following 4 skins for the C-54:
       
      OD/Grey, with 1942-43 'star-and-ball'
      OD/Grey, late WW2 (late 43-later), 'star-and-bar'
      Natural Metal, Late WW2, to late 1947 (pre-USAF formation)
      "USAF", Natural Metal, post 0ctober 1947 (tagged with Military Air Transport badges star-bar w/red stripe).
       
      The AvHistory engine is included.
      Skins are in jpg format, and decal radomization is set to TRUE for all. ALL markings are decals. The damage textures are in DDS format. The template is included for other skinners (and in the hopes someone can clean up the mess I made of it!!
      Each skin has it's own Hangar Screen, matching the paint job (more or less).
      The cargo loading door/ramp opens and closes with the standard Bombay key (Control/0).
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Notes" section a read, in particular on operational usage, and the FM and other stuff like that there.
       
      Happy Landings!

    15. P-47N Thunderbolt, WW2 PTO (by RussoUK)

      PTO P-47N Thunderbolt Pak
       
      -- For SF2, Any and All (Full-4/5 Merged Prefered) --
       
      Some various and sundry mods for RussoUK's late WW2 era P-47N-15 "Thunderbolt", bringing a bit closer for full SF2 usage.
       
      The pak represents Thunderbolts as based on Ie Shima in mid-1495 to the end of WW2.
       
      Several new/modifided inis are included, most important is my 90%-ish SF2 compliant data ini with many adjustments to the FM (more fine-tuning is required -- and hopefully somebody will do so!!). Drop tanks and the WW2 pilot figure are included. The canopy operates via manual animation key, the Usual suspect, Shift/0 ™. All lights are 100% correct.
       
      3 skins/decal sets are supplied:
       
      19th FS 318th FG
      333rd FS, 318th FG (these 2 are original, with some decal modification)
      463rd FS, 507th FG (new one by me!)
       
      Decal randomization is set to TRUE for all skins.
       
      As always, READ the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions. This package has been broken down into the various folders that SF2 needs, to make it a LOT easier to install (read: drag and drop).
       
      Just another mod I had sitting on the HD, collecting stray electrons. Thought I finish it off, and get it out the door.

    16. SF2 WW2 PTO - F4F Wildcats and SBD Dauntless

      SF2 WW2 F4F-3/4 Wildcat, SBD-3/5 Dauntless
       
      -- Something for the PTO players --
      = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      *There is a 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.*
       
      This is a compilation of all my work for Wolf's SBD Dauntless and Pasko's F4F Wildcat. It is
      designed to replace ALL the previously released versions. So, be advised.
      There are 5 aircraft in this pak:
       
      F4F-3 (pre- and early war)
      F4F-4 (early war to mid-43
      FM-2 (mid to late war -this is a stand in aircraft, based on the -4)
      SBD-3 (pre and early war, to mid-43 -includes RNZAF skin)
      SBD-5 (mid war, tri-color)
      and ???? a surprise!
       
      All have semi-compliant SF2 Flight Models, but they REALLLLLLY do need further fine tuning by
      experts. All lighting on all aircraft is 100% historically correct. All are carrier capable, with
      the SF2NA statments for those (ok, 2) aircraft with folding wings
      Use Shift/0 to open the window, and Shift/9 to fold the wings -Wilcat ONLY!
       
      All skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. I've tried, as best as
      possible, to use the 'StartDefaultDate' on all skins to limit the availability for pre-War markings
      from those that came into being post-January, 1942. The -4 'cats have skins that start 1/42, and
      the Dauntless has the same pre and post 1/42 starts. Hopefully, they will work as they should.
      Userlists are included for all aircraft, as being 'exported' means USN, USMC, and in the SBD-3's
      case, RNZAF.SF2 versions of the old 'box art' Hangars are included for those that had them.
      Sounds, weapons are included. Also, for you enjoyment, a never-before-released-to-the-public
      "Surprise" aircraft. Yes, its a total stand-in, and dosen't really even look like what it
      represents, but ... you can have to fun with it (flying for the Red Side, that is, attacking it.)
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please
      read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
      All readmes from the original releases, and re-releases, are included where discoverable from the
      archives.
       
      Happy Hunting!

    17. SF2 WW2 PTO P-39/P400 Airacobra Pak

      -- 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 WW2 aircaft. This package contains 2 complete aircraft, broken down by aircraft and skins:
       
      P-39D
      36th FS, 8th FG in early 1942 ("meatball" star)
      39th FS, 35th FG, mid-1942
      41st FS, 35th FG, late-1943 (star & bar, white tail)
       
      P-400
      39th FS, 35th FS, early 1942 (RAF camo & serials)
       
      All skins are in jpg format, and are brand new builds for this mod. Decal Randomization is TRUE. .
      Due to both aircraft sharing the same lod, all skins are fully interchangable with each other.
      A new cockpit, Stary's 'Midwar #3' replaces both the modded Hurri pit I'd been using, and the original Wolf pits.
      Both new SF2 versions of the original 'box art' hangar screen. Damage textures are the old tga ones.
       
      Both have semi-compliant SF2 Flight Models, but they do need further fine tuning by experts (it's actually TOO good!). All lighting is 100% historically correct.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Remember -- these are very old models, so "they are as they is". All original readmes, when discoverable, are included.

      SF2 KAW RF-51D Mustang
       
      = For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      *Note: as these aircraft were built with the latest 3W exporter, and due to the skin format, they will most likely =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen Installs*
       
      This is the recon variant of the Mustang, the RF-51D. Like all other Mustangs, it is fully capable of most other operational Missions (CAS,STRIKE,Armed_Recon, but not auntie-ship or Air-To-Air). The primairy use was the photo-recon role; all other ground-attack roles are secondary.
       
      This skin represents aircraft from the 45th TRS "Polka Dots" during the late 1940s and 50s, with special focus on the Korean War.
      The skin is in DDS format, and decal randomization is set to TURE. 18 new serial and BuzzNumber decals are supplied.
       
      No weapons are included excepting the drop tank data; all others can be found in the GunnyPak or the KAW Weapons Pak, both available at here at CA. The pilot figure and engine sounds are included, as in an SF2-style hangar screen.
      The Standard Keystrokes ™ operate the canopy (Shift/0)

    19. Northrop P-61 Black Widow Pack

      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!)

    20. SF2 WW2 PTO B-17E Flying Fortress Pak

      The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is a four-engine heavy bomber aircraft developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC). Competing against Douglas and Martin for a contract to build 200 bombers, the Boeing entry outperformed both competitors and more than met the Air Corps' expectations. Although Boeing lost the contract because the prototype crashed, the Air Corps was so impressed with Boeing's design that they ordered 13 more B-17s for further evaluation. From its introduction in 1938, the B-17 Flying Fortress evolved through numerous design advances.

    21. SF2 WW2 PTO F4U-4 Corsair Pak (TMF/MM) Ver.2

      SF2 WW2 PTO F4U-4 Corsair Pak (TMF/MM) Ver.2 6/18/2014
       
      = For SF2, (*FUll 5 Merged Reccomended*) =
       
      Designed for use =ONLY= in a stand-alone SF2NA-based WW2 PTO Mods Folder!!!
      ***Note: This pack replaces it total the TMF F4U-4 Corsair for WW2 that was released
      several years ago. If you have the original WW2 version in you PTO mods folder, you
      =MUST= delete the F4U-4's aircraft folder 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 F4U-7.lod, with
      various components removed. You have been warned!! 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.***
       
      This package contains an updated version of the WW2 TMF/MM F4U-4 Corsair, as seen
      during the Okinawa Campaign through the war's end.
       
      Unit(s) represented are:
       
      VBF-6 (aboard USS Hancock)
      VMF-222 "Flying Deuces" (Awase Field, Okinawa)
       
      All skins are in Jpg format, and decal randomization is TRUE. See 'Notes' for more
      details.
      Pilots and the drop tank are included, other weapons (guns, bumbs, et) you should have
      already. However, a new 'rocket rail' by Raven is. Included are several remodded
      weapons (new HVARs), and an updated TinyTim.
      In the loadout ini, there's a special "Anti-Ship_HR" (for Heavy Rocket) loadout that
      replaces the bombs with the Tiny Tims. Of course, one can always swap them out on the
      Loadout Screen.
      The canopy opens/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0. Wingfold
      is controled by Shift/9. The aircraft is fully carrier capable, as per SF2NA, and now
      will appear on deck, properly parked with folded wings.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So,
      please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. It contains explinations
      and other items that might be interestering to know.

    22. WW2 PTO PV-1 Ventura (Early)

      SF2 WW2 PTO PV-1 Ventura (Early) by Veltro2K        8/30/2014
       -- Something for the WW2 PTO players --
      = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
      **Note: This mod will -NOT- work in 1stGen game installs at any patch level.A Full-5 merged is reccomended.**
      This is a the release of Veltro2K's =NEW= Lockheed/Vega PV-1 Ventura USN Patrol Bomber. This represents the early "glass nosed" version as used in the PTO.  
      There are 4 skin/decals set(s) in the package:
      USN (42-43, NS Blue over NS Grey, star-and-ball)
      USN43 (star-&-bar, 3 tone)
      and
      RNZAF (overall blue/grey mid-war light blue roundels, as used from Henderson Field)
      RNZAF43 (overall blue/grey, roundel-and-bar)
      The skins use the SF2 "date switch", and will change in approx September, 1943
      Although the US Navy skins are tagged for VPB-138, they are representative of pretty much ALL USN PTO Ventura units from Australia to the Aleutians.
      The RNZAF skins, while tagged for No.3 Squadron, are also fairly representative of NZ units in the SoWesPac regions of the PTO.
      All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. Serial number/BuNums are accurate for the model depicted, but should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they reprsent no specific unit. Lighting is as accurate as possible, given the lack of pictures of the bottom.
      Engine sounds, pilot figures, and skin-specific Hangar Screens are included. Weapons, guns, bombs, etc, are NOT; you should have them already.  Operational service dates are rounded to 'whole months', and ARE relatively correct for ALL in-theatre usages.
      When in game, you'll see
      PV-1 Ventura (Early) (v2k)
      on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu. As different versions are planned, this will help keep them diferentiated, so to speak.
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!  
      Happy Landings!!

      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 examinations and so forth.
       
      REMINDER: this pack contains ETO Jugs only!!! Other theatres/users will follow as time permits, and as they are completed.
       
      This pak contains, as stated above, a NEW aircraft, representing the Razorback P-47D (-5 thru -20) Thunderbolt as seen in late 1943 through war's end.
      Skins included are:
       
      56th Fighter Group (8th AF):
       
      61st FS
      62nd FS
      63rd FS
       
      and
       
      377th FS, 362nd FG (9th AF)
       
      All markings are decals; this will allow super easy creation of other squadrons by simply creating a new SCode decal, although those with a purer historical heart will also have to run down the matching serial numbers for their decal creation. Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
      Please note, Squadron or Group specific markings -ARE- painted on.
      The mod has the correct nose arts, matched to plane-in-squadron letter and serial numbers for the 61st FS only. However, the serials for the 62nd & 63rd ARE matched to their plane-in-squadron letter. They have no nose arts. Any marked with a star (*) ARE correct for their squadron, but could not be 100% matched to a particular aircraft.
       
      The 61st carries the mid-to-late 43 style of QIMs, and the other 2 (62 & 63) have the 1944 style used the 56th, including the squadron colored tails.
      The 377th is in natural metal, and has full D-Day markings. Included is a post-September 44 skin, with D-Day stripes -only- on the bottom. Those serials should be considered "generic" in nature, but ARE for the correct model variant.
       
      All the 1stGen Hangar and/or Loading screens were either rebuilt to SF2-spec, or created new for this package. They are in jpg format, and fit SF2 styling. Damage textures are also new, in DDS format.
      The canopy opens/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke ™, Shift/0
      Pilots, sounds, weapons are all included.
      Templates for this aircraft will be issued as a seperate release, for those skinners that wish to do other units for other theatres or Allied users.
       
      As there are several P-74D Razorbacks available, when in game you'll see:
       
      P-47D-20 Thunderbolt (CAF)
       
      on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate it from any others that are around (Wolf or DAT).
      As some unit markings are repeated, those with the mods I built for Wolf's Razorback, can choose to keep those, revamp them for use on THIS model, or remove them to storage. You'll most likely be doing this when the D 'Bubbletop' is released.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, as usual, give the "Notes" section a read, too.
       
      Happy Landings!

    24. SF2 WW2 MTO B-25C/D Mitchell Bomber Pak

      SF2 WW2 MTO B-25C/D Mitchell Bomber Pak 8/2/2017
       
      -- Something for the WW2 MTO players --
       
      = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
       
      *Please note, this aircraft was supposed to be released several years ago (in August, 2014!!), and somehow managed to slip out of sight. I hope this corrects that mistake.*
       
      **Note: This mod will -NOT- work in 1stGen game installs at any patch level. Also, for those End Users � attempting to use this aircraft in an SF2 converted version of the DAT's WoA Pak, be advised of probable conflicts.**
       
      This is a "Theatre Specific" release of Veltro2K's =NEW= B-25C/D Mitchell Medium Bomber. This represents the "glass nosed" bomber version as used in the MTO. This is the FULL aircraft, with just about all the necessary parts supplied.
       

      There are 4 skin/decals set(s) in the package:
       
      "Early" - with star/circle
      "Late" - star-and-bar, post September, 1943.
      For the following units:
       
      81st BS, 12th BG
       
      83rd BS, 12th BG
       
      This mods uses the Brain32 trick, with the skinmap in the main aircraft folder. The aircraft is finished in Sand (desert pink) over neutral gray. This represents the 12th BG from it's arrival in theatre to late 1943.
      All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. The aircraft carries the "plain star-in-blue-circle" used until Sept 1943. The SF2 "date switch" will turn on in September, 1943 for the 'star and bar' insignia.
       
      Engine sounds, pilot figures, and skin-specific Hangar Screens are included. Weapons, guns, bombs, etc, are NOT; you should have them already. Operational service dates are rounded to 'whole months', and ARE relatively correct for ALL in-theatre usage (7/42-12/43 although it is likely several served longer, even when the H & J models reached MTO squadron service).
       
      When in game, you'll see
       
      B-25C/D Mitchell (v2k)
       
      on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu. This will differentiate it from any other B-25s you may (or may not) have.
       
      As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!
       
      Happy Landings!!
