SF2 WW2 PTO PBJ-1D Mitchell (USMC) Pak by Veltro2K 7/18/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 PTO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
**Note: This mod references the stock destroyed Il-28. Also, due to modifications to various inis, this mod will probably -NOT- work in 1stGen game installs at any patch level. This has not/cannot be tested by me.**
 
This is a NEW, 'nationalized' version of Veltro2k's B-25D, as used by the US Marine Corp as the PBJ-1D in the PTO.
There are 1 skin/decals set(s) in the package:
 
VMB-413, as seen in the Solomons and SoWesPac from 1944-war's end
 
The skin is in jpg format,
The BuNums (serials) ARE 100% historically accurate for this squadron's Mitchells.
All markings are decals. All lighting is historically correct. Damage textures are in DDS format.
Engine sounds, pilot figures, new 'strap on' gun packs, are included. Operational service dates are rounded to 'whole months', and ARE relatively correct for SWP theatre usage.
 
When in game, you'll see
 
PBJ-1D Mitchell (v2k)
 
on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu. This will differentiate it from any other Marine Mitchells you may (or may not) have.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!

SF2 WW2 ETO, RAF Mitchell Mk. II (B-25C/D) 7/19/2014
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
A 'nationalization' of Veltro2k's =NEW= B-25C/D recreates the Mitchell Mk.II as use by the RAF in Europe in WW2.
 
There are 2 skin/decals set(s) in the package, both for No 98 Squadron (in standard USAAF finish). They are:
 
98 (in "normal" clothing)
98_44 (with D-Day Invasion stripes)
 
As seen in Northwestern Europe, from 1943 through the war's end.
The skins are in jpg format,
The serials are accurate for the version depicted, but should to be considered 'generic' as they represent no particular squadron or aircraft within a particular squadron.
All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. This will make it easy for other texture artists to recreate the other RAF Mitchell units (including Free French, and Free Netherlands).
Please note, this mod is supplied with 2 cockpits -- the 'generic' bomber pit, and one with a working bombsight (from the Invader). While not perfect, the bombsight WORKS. To learn how, =PLEASE= read the enclosed PDF.
For those not wanting to use the Invader pit, instructions on switching back to the 'generic' one are in the "Notes" section below.
No bombs or guns are included; you should have the RAF bombs and all the standard issue machine guns already. Pilot figures and sounds however, are included.
 
In game, on the aircraft selection drop down screen, you'll see:
 
Mitchell Mk.II (v2k)
 
This will make sure you choose the right one (even if there aren't any other RAF Mitchells available).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations.
 
Good Hunting!!

This is a "Theatre Specific" release of Veltro2K's =NEW= B-25D Mitchell Medium Bomber. This represents the "field modified" versions, that painted over the glass nose, and installed additional machine guns, creating the 'strafer' version. This package =ONLY= represents Mitchells used in the PTO/SoWesPac region. However, research has NOT indicated their use anywhere other than the New Guinea and neighboring regions for this Mitchell variant.

This is a "Theatre Specific" release of Veltro2K's =NEW= B-25C/D Mitchell Medium Bomber. This package =ONLY= represents Mitchells used in the PTO/SoWesPac region.
Reminder: this is the Glass Nosed, bombadier equipped version, NOT the multi-gun nosed strafer version. Those will come later, as they are finished.
However, Because these skins carry no distinguishing squadron markings, they'd be usable throughout the Pacific Basin, and even into the CBI theatre (read: AAF units in China and India).

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.

SF2 WW2 CBI B-24J Liberator Pak by Veltro2K 6/10/2014
 
(Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
 
This pack contains a Theatre Specfic version of Veltro2k's B-24J Liberator as seen in
in the China, Burma, India Theatre. Be advised, that while there wasn't too much
'crossover' between the 10 AF in India and the 14th AF in China (and the RAF for that
matter), for gaming purposes it won't matter much.
You are advised, however, to have a seperate CBI mods folder (even though the new
India/Burma/Indochina map is far from completed).
 
The unit(s) represented herein are:
 
10th AF (India):
493rd BS, 7th BG (43/45, in OD/Grey)
 
14th AF (China):
374th BS, 308th BG (44/45, in NM)
 
RAF (India/Burma):
No. 99 Squadron "Madras Presidency" (Liberator GR.VI, late 44/45, in OD/Grey)
 
Each of the skins will display their theatre association; B/I or C.
The skins are in jpg format. All markings are decals (excepting the wing national
markings and some squadron rudder markings). The serials, when carried, are 'generic'
in nature, as they represent no particular unit, but ARE for the model variant
depicted. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. 10th & 14th AF squadron numbering
conventions (plane-in-group numbers) are used on these aircraft. There are NO nose
arts. Other texture artists are encouraged to do the research, and create proper
artwork decals.
Weapons, pilot figures and guns are NOT included; you should have them already.
However, the VB-1 "Azon" bomb is, as the 7th BG had specialy equipped aircraft for
their usage. A "Strike_Azon" loadout has been setup, and is availalbe through the 3W
Mission Editor. Or they can be hand-loaded. Be advised, the standard carry was 4
Azons, and handloading WILL overload the aircraft with 7. RAF units did NOT use Azons.
The aircraft is also equipped with a ground mapping/surface search radar.
Damage textures are in DDS format.
 
When in game you'll see
 
B-24J Liberator (v2k)
 
This will differentiate this Lib from any others you may have (ie: Pasko's).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included.
PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations, in
particular for in-game usage.

= 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.

This is an ETO (Theatre Specific) version of Veltro2k's Bell P-39D Airacobra. This represents those used by the RAF in Europe as the "Airacobra Mk.1", for a VERY short time! Basically, this is what would become the P-400 in USAAF service. Operational dates have been rounded to "whole months".
 
The unit depicted is:
 
No. 601 "County of London" Squadron
 
The aircraft is finished in standard "Temperate Day Scheme", circa late 1941 (painted in the USA at the Bell factory). The skin is in jpg format. Decal Randomization is TRUE. Damage textures are in DDS format.
The engine Sounds is included. All the other items (bombs, drop tank, guns, etc) you should have already.

SF2 WW2 PB4Y-1 (B-24J) USN Liberator, PTO Pak by Veltro2K 6/4/2014
(Full 5 Merged Reccomended)
 
This pack contains a NEW aircrft by Veltro2k; the US Navy's PB4Y-1 (B-24J) Liberator as seen in the Pacific. This aircraft uses some SF2NA 'mission statements'.
 
It is designed for use ONLY in the PTO (Central Pac, Solomons, Phillipines, Home Island, etc). Research has not turned up any data about thes models being used in SoWesPac (particularly New Guinea, although some DID operate over Borneo). Of course, these also replaced the eariler "D" version in the Atlantic.
 
The unit represented herein are:
 
VPB-102, based in the Solomons in 1943
 
The aircraft is finished in standard USN 3-tone camo, and while 'assigned' to VPB-102, is representative of pretty much all USN VPB Liberator units as seen from the Aleutians to Australia, and (almost) all points in between. The same goes for Atlantic squadrons, fron the Arctic Ocean to the South Atlantic (although with a different paint job).
The skins are in jpg format. All markings are decals (excepting the wing national markings). The BuNums are 'generic' in nature, as they represent no particular aircraft within a specific unit, but ARE for the model variant depicted. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. There are NO nose arts.
Weapons, pilot figures and guns are NOT included; you should have them already.
Damage textures are in DDS format.
 
When in game you'll see
 
PB4Y-1 (J) Liberator (v2k)
 
The (J) expresses that this version is based of the B-24J model, NOT the D, L, or M. All USN/USMC/USCG versions were called PB4Y-1, regardless of what sub-variant. It will also further diferentiate it from any built from Pasko's B-24J.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations, in particular for in-game usage.

This is a mod of Veltro2k's Bell P-39D Airacobra, in to the export version, called P-400 in USAAF service. 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 with to delete the old versions, or keep them.
 
Both skins are in the "RAF style" camo pattern. Skins included are:
 
39th FS, 35th FS, early 1942 (New Guinea)
67th FS, 58th FG Mid/Late 1942 (Guadalcanal)
 
The above are units that were used in the SouthWestPacific region, specifically Australia & New Guinea (39th), and The Solomons (Guadalcanal, 67th). The skins also use the "StartDate" switch, so as to turn on at the (almost) appropriate time.
Serial numbers (RAF issued) are 100% historicaly correct for this aircraft, but should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent no particular aircraft within these specific units.
All skins are in jpg format. Decal Randomization is TRUE.
An SF2 version of the original 'box art' hangar screen are included. Damage textures are in DDS format.
Sounds and a pilot figure are included. All the other items (bombs, drop tank, guns, etc) you should have already.

Version 2 uploaded. Fixes reported decal pathways issue. This is now corrected

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.

changelog: version 2.0 uploaded 1/10/2013

SF2 WW2 B-24D Liberator, ETO-MTO Pak
 
= For SF2 (Full4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED! )
 
** Due to the extensive modifications to the cockpit and data ini, this mod will absolutely -NOT- work in 06 level 1stGen game installs. 08 Level 1stGens may have some issues, but this has not/cannot be tested by me. Also, having a merged install is reccomended, as the destroyed model references the stock 3W An-12**
 
This pak contains Pasko's B-24D Liberator Heavy Bomber, with modifications to 'bring it a
little closer" to SF2 spec. However, MUCH more work is needed by FM Gurus.
 
The units represented herein are:
 
329th BS, 93rd BG, ETO, in OD/Grey as seen in England in the 42-43 time frame
 
514th BS, 376th BG, MTO, in Desert Pink/Grey.
 
Both aircraft carry the 'round ball w/star', pre Sept 1943. The MTO skin uses the roundel
outlined in yellow.
All new skins, from a Home Grown Template ™ are in jpg format. New decals were created for
serials, plane-in-group letters and others. The serials are 'generic' in nature, as they
represent no particular unit, but ARE for the model variant depicted. Decal randomization is
set to TRUE. The orignal nose art decals from 2005 remain, but need replacements.
Weapons and guns are NOT included; you should have them already.
All the 1stGen Hangar and Loading screens were either rebuilt to SF2-spec, or created new for
this package. They are in jpg format. Damage textures are new, in DDS format.
 
The inis make use of the 'hide component' or the 'open cockpit' statements to make sure the
cockpits are where they're supposed to be. This, unfortunately, prevents their use in SF/Wo*
games at the 06 patch level, as stated above. Flight modeling, for the most part, remains as
originally issued, with some small tweeking by me. However, it NEEDS a better one!!
 
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, in
particular for in-game usage.
For those that have the 1stGen releases, it's advised you delete, or move to a storage disk or
elsewhere, the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is desinged to replace them in
total.
 
**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. There are SEVERAL issues with the
LOD that cannot be resolved. Period. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini
edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**

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, in particular for in-game usage.
For those that have the 1stGen releases, it's advised you delete, or move to a storage disk or elsewhere, the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is desinged to replace them in total.
 
**These aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. There are SEVERAL issues with the LOD that cannot be resolved. Period. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, as new models are unlikely to be created**
 
Happy Landings

Consolidated B-24J Liberator
The Consolidated B-24 Liberator was an American heavy bomber, designed by Consolidated Aircraft of San Diego, California. It was known within the company as the Model 32, and a small number of early models were sold under the name LB-30, for Land Bomber. The B-24 was used in World War II by several Allied air forces and navies, and by every branch of the American armed forces during the war, attaining a distinguished war record with its operations in the Western European, Pacific, Mediterranean, and China-Burma-India Theaters.

SF2 WW2 B-24D Liberator, CBI Pak by Veltro2K 6/1/2014
(Full 4/5 Merged Reccomended)
 
This pack contains a NEW aircrft, by Veltro2k; the B-24D Liberator as seen in in the China, Burma, India Theatre. Be advised, that while there wasn't too much 'crossover' between the 10 AF in India and the 14th AF in China, for gaming purposes it won't matter much.
You are advised, however, to have a seperate CBI mods folder (even though the new India/Burma/Indochina map is far from completed).
 
The unit(s) represented herein are:
 
10th AF (India):
493rd BS, 7th BG (star-and-ball, 42/43)
9th BS, 7th BG (star-and-bar, late 43 thru 45)
 
14th AF (China):
374th BS, 308th BG (43)
 
All Aircraft are painted in the standard finish of OD/Neutral Grey.
Each of the skins will display their theatre association (B/I) or © on the Loadout Screen's drop down.
The skins are in jpg format. All markings are decals (excepting the wing national markings). The serials, when carried, are 'generic' in nature, as they represent no particular unit, but ARE for the model variant depicted. Decal randomization is set to TRUE. 10th & 14th AF squadron numbering conventions (plane-in-group numbers) are used on these aircraft. There are NO nose arts. Other texture artists are encouraged to do the research, and create proper artwork decals.
Weapons, pilot figures and guns are NOT included; you should have them already.
A new "generic" Hangar screen was created for this mod. Damage textures are in DDS format.
 
When in game you'll see
 
B-24D Liberator (v2k)
 
This will differentiate this Lib from any others you may have (ie: Pasko's).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations, in particular for in-game usage.

SF2 WW2 MTO USAAF P-40K-5 Pak 5/24/2014
 
-- 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-40K in your MTO-centric mods folder, best to back it up someplace.
 
This is the full aircraft, with my 'tweeked' sf2-ish data ini. The skin included is for...
 
64th FS, 57 FG
 
as seen in early 1943 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), and 30# fragmentation bombs.
 
When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop-down, you'll see
 
P-40K-5 CU (Raven)
 
This will diferentiate this for any other Warhawks you may (or may not) have.
It should be noted, that of all the AAF P-40 equipped units in the Med, my source material stated that ONLY the 64th recieved the K model Warhawks.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!
 
Good Hunting!!

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.

SF2 WW2 ETO RAF Coastal Command Fortress IIA Pak 5/10/2014
 
-- 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, this mod will probably -NOT- work in 06/08 level 1stGen game installs. This has not/cannot be tested by me. SF2NA is REQUIRED as part of you game installs, as this aircraft uses several NA-specific mission tasking for it's Naval Search and so forth.**
 
*This is a "Theatre Specific" & Nationalized release of Veltro2K's NEW!!! B-17E Flying Fortress Heavy Bomber. This package contains the Fortress IIA for RAF Coastal Command, in Europe =ONLY=.*
 
There is 1 skins/decal set in this pack:
 
No. 220 Squadon, RAF Coastal Command, as based in Northern UK and Northern Ireland, for North Sea and Atlantic patrols.
 
The Skin is in jpg format. The serials ARE historically correct for the aircraft, but should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent no specific aircraft in a particular squadron.
All markings are decals. All lighting is historically correct. Damage textures are in DDS format.
 
It should be noted, this mod is for use -ONLY- in an ETO-centric mods folder; research seems to poin to these aircraft having only been used over the Atlantic. In this case, RAF Fortress IIAs were replaced by Liberator GR.V/VI/VII in 1944.
 
When in-game, you'll see:
 
Fortress IIA (V2K)
 
on the aircraft selection. While no other E models exist, this is simply done as a convenience.

There is 1 skins/decal set in this pak:
 
AAF42/43 - OD/NG representing aircraft as they first arrived in Theatre in June 42 (star/ball insignia, yellow outline). It is "representative" of the 97th BG (no particular squadron) before it was transfered to the Med. As such, it's an accurate depiction of early 8th AF heavy bomber squadrons, before squadron markings and color IDs were adopted (and the immenent arrival of the F model).
 
The Skin is in jpg format. All new (theatre specific) serial number decals were created. The serials ARE historically accurate (100%), and matched to the appropriate nose arts.
All markings are decals. All lighting is historically correct. Damage textures are in DDS format.
 
It should be noted, do =NOT= use this mod in an PTO-centric mods folder; European Forts have different operational dates than those in the Pacific.

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.
