SF2 KAW B-29 Superfortress Pak 4/26/2015
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs at any patch level, due to the extensive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment. End Users � that attempt it, do so at their own risk. A Full 5 Merged install is reccomened at the LATEST patch level.*
 
This mod represents B-29 Superfortress bombers used by the USAF during the Korea War. This is a "era specific" mod, ONLY designed for Post-1947 usage. It is the complete aircraft, including a 'new(ish)' cockpit. All items, excepting for the standard bombs (in the KAW Weapons Pack) are included.
 
Skins included here are for:
28th BS, 19th BG*
33rd BS, 22nd BG*
343rd BS, 98th BG
372nd BS, 307th BG *
"USAF2", (a generic NM skin with no squadron/group markings)
 
(*=indicates Night undersides. others are NM overall)
 
All markings, excepting squadron/group color bands, are decals. Serial numbers, while correct for this model, are to be considered generic in nature. Decal randomization is TRUE. All skins use the same "pool" of serial numbers. There are NO nose arts.
A number of new (actually revamped for SF2) weapons are included:
 
VB-3
VB-4 RAzon guided bombs
VB-13 Tarzon guided bomb
T-10 Tallboy
A Large Selection of early fission bombs
 
Please note, that the effects for the nukes (included), do NOT work in some mods folders, for no known reason. They work fine in others. Also, be advised, even with the smallest yields, your chances of surviving are very small. Use of these weapons is not really reccomended. They are included for historical pruposes only.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. There are "Operational Notations" and other important data you should know.
 
Good Hunting!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

Thanks for all kind support.

This is basically RussoUK2004's recent P-47N in post-WW2 form. I have given the flight model and ground handling a much needed boost. A set of new and AUTHENTIC skins covering the late 1940's and early 50's is included. This is when the P-47N became the F-47N and was handed down to Air Guard squadrons (ANG) and a few third world nations.
 
Squadrons included in this package:
 
USAF/ANG-
199th FS, Territory of Hawaii ANG,Hickam Field

SF2 WW2 F6F-3, F6F-5, F6F-5N Hellcats by Geo (and wrench)
 
-- Something for the PTO players --
= For SF2, Full-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. Also, the destroyed model references the SF2V Skyraider; hence the Full-5 Merged Prefered. Quite useful due to SF2NA carrier-coding, which is used herein*
 
This is a compilation of all my work for Geo's F6F-3 Hellcat, and includes the 2 'new aircraft' built from the original -3, as previously seen for 1stGens some years back. This pak is desinged to COMPLETLY replace any/all the 1stGen Mods I've released in the past.
 
F6F-3 - mid war TriColor (Geo's original skin) with 2 skins
F6F-5 - late war overall Dark Gloss Blue with 3 skins
F6f-5N* - (Radar Equipped Nightfighter) with 2 skins (USN & USMC)
 
*the cockpit has been swapped out for TMF's F4U-5N's pit -- even though slightly 'off' in insturment placment, everything works on it much better than the original. Radar ranges ARE correct.
 
All have semi-compliant SF2 Flight Models, but may need further fine tuning by experts. I feel it actually flys TOO well/easy; having spoken to real Hellcat pilots (one of my High School shop teachers flew them at the war's end -didn't get into combat, though).
 
Skins are still in their original TGA format (oddly, withOUT an Alpha, and apparently NOT convertable to jpg without LOD work - I'm NOT doing any Hex Editing to find out) and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
SF2NA 'carrier based' statment have been added to the data ini; unfortunately, the wings do NOT fold. However, the canopy opens via the Usual Suspect ™ animiation keystroke, Shift/0
 
Many NEW decals have been created, as the Navy expanded it's number of fighters on the boat in 44-45 to around 70 per ship, displacing Dive and Torpedo bombers. (ie: 35-36 per squadron)
Userlists are included for those aircraft, being 'exported' which means USN & USMC for the -5N; no references have been found citing USMC usage for any other version (I guess they liked their Corsairs better!)
 
SF2 versions of the old 'box art' Hangars are included for those that had them.
Sounds, weapons are included; included a 'new build' F6F-3 tank in NonSpec gray for early useage.
 
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!

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!

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!)

SF2 WW2 F8F-1 Bearcat 7/22/2016
 
"A Somewhat What If aircraft for WW2 PTO '46"
 
***Note: Due to massive changes in the skins, decals, and inis, if you have created a WW2 Version of the Bearcat, you ARE advised to move, remove, rename or otherwise hide it from the Game Engine. THIS mod will cause conflicts, due to aforementioned changes, with many of the original parts.***
 
This full aircraft package includes mods to Geo's F8F Bearcat, (re)creating the original 600-odd F8F-1 versions as deployed from August, 1945, just as the War ended. I've made the assumption, for PTO '46 users, that the A-Bombs, for whatever reason, were not used and the aircraft entered full squadron service for Operations Olympic and Coronet.
See the 'Changes' section in the "Notes" below.
 
The package includes 2 skin & decal sets:
 
VF-19 (USS Langley, CVL-27) as seen in 8/45, enroute to the War Zone, as the war ended)
VF-3 (USS Coral Sea, if the CVB class carriers had entered the war in the later parts of 1945)
 
With the exception of the nation marking, which remain painted on, all other markings are decals. Decal randomization is TRUE. Many are by Geo from the original release. Other (modex) are by me. The ship code letters ARE correct for the late 45 thru late 46 time frame. The skins have been partly repained to remove the incorrect "G" system marking used on the orignal VF-19 skin. Skins remain in bmp format. As they carry no markings, this will allow other skinners the freedom to create other carrier air group codes, although new modex numbers will probably be required as well.
The hangar screen is an SF2 version of my 1st Gen "Box Art" one.
 
All weapons (drop tanks), sounds and a pilot figure are included. Other weapons used (rocket, bombs, etc) use those you should already have in the WW2 Weapons Pack.
 
The canopy opens with the standard keystroke, Shift/0 (zero). Wingfold is =NOT= active, as it never was when originally released in 2006. The aircraft is NOT exported, having only the single user, the US Navy.
The aircraft has been given a Service Start Date of of July, 1945. The data ini contains a new (if somewhat experimental FM, but MUCH closer to stated performances). It may require further fine tuning by experts; to that end I've included the USN BuAer's "Standard Performance" chart PDF within the main aircraft folder. This is for those remaining FM gurus to use, if they wish, to further refine the FM.
 
As always, unzip this to a temp folder somwhere, and you'll have access to the rest of the readme for it's instructions. PLEASE read it before installing, ok?
As always, read the "Notes" section for notes and other ramblings

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.

SF2 Korean War Era F4U/AU-1 Corsair Pak by TMF
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
This package contains theTMF Corsairs for use during the Korean War. There are 4 complete aircraft in this pak, with a ship-load of skins/decal sets.
 
Skins/Decal sets are included for the following units:
 
F4U-4:
VF-24 "Renegades" (USS Boxer, 7/50-11/50)
VF-63 "Fighting Redcocks" (same as above)
VF-64 "Freelancers" (same as above)
VF-113 "Stingers"(USS Philippine Sea, 7/50-3/51)
VF-114 "Excutioners" (same as above)
VMF-312 "Checkboards" (Shore based, various fields in Korea)
 
F4U-4B:
VF-53 (USS Essex 1/51-3/52)
VF-54 (same as above)
VF-192 (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 ??? -flew off CVE)
VMF-214 "Black Sheep" (shore based)
 
F4U-5NL:
VC-3 (various Dets aboard ship)
VMF-513 "Flying Nightmares" (shore based, various fields)
 
AU-1:
VMA-212 "Devil Cats" (land based until 1951, transfered to USS Bataan)
VMA-323 (used F4U from USS Badoeng Strait, 1950; shore based after?)
 
*Please note, many Corsair squadrons flew both the -4 and -4B at the same time. As the aircraft are mapped identically, it's an easy job to swap out skins/decal sets, for those so inclined. There is also one 'Easter Egg' squadron, 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, so you MUST be at (minimum) Nov 2011, or the Latest July 2012 patch level (HIGHLY suggested!!!). All markings are decals and are Randomized. BuNums are accurate for the aircraft variant depicted, but not for the actual ones used by the squadrons; consider them 'generic' for that purpose.
Standard Animations keystrokes are used for the canopy (Shift/0) and wingfold (shift/9) *Note the -4/-4B wingfold no longer works for some inexplicable reason*.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.

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.

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)

SF2 WW2 A-24 Banshee (USAAF 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 SF2 version of my eariler 1stGen A-24 Dauntless; like the recently rereleased SBDs, it has a (semi)complitant SF2 FM, and may need further adjusting by experts.
 
It represents aircraft as used by the 8th Bombardment Squadron (Dive) in New Guinea in mid 1942. These aircraft had a very short operational career in combat (read: disastrous). Most later variants were regulated to Stateside training squadrons.
 
The skin is in jpg format; decal randomization is set to TRUE. Serial numbers are correct for this model Banshee, as I was not able to run down exact usage for this squadron. It also uses the original Wolf cockpit, as these are the equlivant of SBD-3, with the telescopic sight (ring-and-bead used here). The 'fakepilot method' (patentpending) is used to add the 2 wing station pylons. This tweek can also be used on the recently released SBD Dauntless pak, if one has the ini editing skills
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
All readmes from the original releases, are included where discoverable from the archives. Remember, also, this is a very old model, and like all the others, "it is as it is".

SF2 RAF Washington B.1 (B-29A) Pack 4/26/2015
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs at any patch level, due to the extensive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment. End Users � that attempt it, do so at their own risk. A Full 5 Merged install is reccomened at the LATEST patch level.*
 
This mod represents B-29 Superfortress bombers used by the RAF in the early 1950s. This is a "country specific" mod, =ONLY= designed for Royal Air Force usage. It is the complete aircraft, including a 'new(ish)' cockpit. All items, excepting weapons are included.
 
This is a complete revamp of the now no longer available 1st Gen mod by Bob "howling1" Hauser. This mod is dedicated to his memory, both as a Person, and a Modder.
 
The skin herein represents Washingtons from
 
No 44 "Rhodesia" Squadron
 
All markings are decals. Serial numbers, while correct for this model, are to be considered generic in nature. Decal randomization is TRUE. The only 'nose art' is the squadron badge (also a decal!). Other squadron can easily be done by creating a new squadron letters decal. (and nose badge, of course).
The aircraft carries standard USAAF/USAF WW2 era bombs. The Tallboy stations remain active.
 
When in game you'll see
 
Washington B.1 (B-29A)
 
on the aircraft selection drop down.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. There are "Operational Notations" and other important data you should know.

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.

SF2 WW2 MTO P-39 Airacobra Pak by Veltro2k 6/5/2014
 
-- Something for the MTO 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 various and sundry reasons*
This is an MTO (Theatre Specific) version of Veltro2k's Bell P-39 Airacobra. This aircraft is designed to either replace or compliment the SF2 versions I did for Wolf257's Airacobra. It's the End Users choice if you wish to delete the old versions, or keep them.
 
Skins/Units depicted are:
 
93rd FS, 81st FG, late 1942/43 ("yellow outlined" star-and-ball)
346th FS, 350th FG, late 43 (star-and-bar)
GC 1/4 "Navare", 1943 & later, Free French Air Force
 
All the above are units are ONLY MTO based. Do NOT use the mod in any other theatre. The skins also use the "StartDate" switch, so as to turn on at the (almost) appropriate time. I've skipped the US "red outlined star-and-bar", as it was only used for approx 3 months.
All skins are in jpg format. Decal Randomization is TRUE.
Damage textures are in DDS format.
The engine sound is included. All the other items (bombs, drop tank, guns, etc) you should have already.
All lighting is 100% historically correct.
 
When in game, you'll see:
 
P-39D Airacobra (v2k)
 
Displayed on the Aicraft Selection Dropdown menu. This will diferentiate it from Wolf's or any other versions.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.

SF2 WW2 ETO P-47D-40 (Late) Pak 7/23/2017
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
The package represents late model P-47D (bubble top) Thunderbolts as used by the 9th Air Force in the European Theatre of Operations. It represents the -40 version with the additional fin fillet (which can and was also retrofitted to earlier marks). This aircraft is also equipped with "compressibility flaps", that first appeared on the D-30 block
This is a brand NEW version, and can be used to replace any earlier mods of this block, or as a replacement for those "no longer available" for download by everyone.
 
This is a complete aircraft package, and contains all the items necessary. The Standard Animation Keystroke, Shift/0 (zero) is used to open and close the canopy. The "compressibility flaps" operate with the standard 'airbrakes' key (as that's kind of what they are, sort of).
 
2 skins are included, both for 9th AF squadrons:
 
22nd FS, 36th FG (post 6/44, Invasion stripes on bottom only) 3T squadron code
 
394th FS, 367nd FG (post 1/45) 4N squadron code
 
The SF2 "date switch" is used on the 394th skin, and will automatically be selected from January 1945. Users that do not wish this feature, can easily disable it in the Textureset.ini.
 
Both aircraft are in Natural Metal finish, excepting for any squadron color designators, which are painted on. All markings are decals; a pool of serials and 'plane-in-squadron' letters are used on both skins, with decals for the squadron ID numbers/letters. The serial numbers, while correct for this model (D-40) should be considered 'generic' in nature, not representing specific aircraft or units. There are no nose arts. Decal randomization is TRUE.
 
When in-game, you'll see
 
P-47D-30/40 Thunderbolt (CAF)
 
on the aircraft selection drop down screen. This diferentiates it from any other Thunderbolts of these block numbers 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.
 
Good Hunting!!

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-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-653 "Dragons" (USS Valley Forge, 51-52) *
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.

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..
 
**These aircraft herein is released in "AS IS" Condition. The source files have been lost, and there can and WILL be no modifications to the physical model. It 'is 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**

Updated 8/29/2017: see readme for details

The Bell P-39 Airacobra was one of the principal American fighter aircraft in service when the United States entered World War II. The P-39 was used with great success by the Soviet Air Force, which scored the highest number of individual kills attributed to any U.S. fighter type. Other major users of the type included the Free French, the Royal Air Force, the United States Army Air Forces, and the Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force.
Designed by Bell Aircraft, it had an innovative layout, with the engine installed in the center fuselage, behind the pilot, and driving a tractor propeller via a long shaft. It was also the first fighter fitted with a tricycle undercarriage.Although its mid-engine placement was innovative, the P-39 design was handicapped by the absence of an efficient turbo-supercharger, limiting it to low-altitude work. Together with the derivative P-63 Kingcobra, the P-39 was one of the most successful fixed-wing aircraft manufactured by Bell.
