SF2 WW2 ETO P-47C/D (Early) Pak
 
-- Something for the WW2 ETO players --
 
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: This package "represents" Early model P-47s (call them Late Model C and Early Model D) Razorbacks, as when they first arrived in the England in the early part of 1943.*
 
This is a FULL aircraft pak, with (pretty much) all the trimmings. This pack contains the following skin/decal set:
 
56th FG circa Mid-to-late 1943.
 
The decals represent various aircraft from all 3 Squadrons of the 56th, and are combined (as per their original release in 2004). There are only 16 'numbered' decals; I didn't make any more than Major Lee had originally. Decal randomization is TRUE, and the NEW skin is in Jpg format.
Weapons (ok, drop tanks), pilot figure, and engine sound are included. A New 'box art' style Hangar, now fully SF2 compliant, is included for your viewing pleasure.
 
Any changes that have been introduced, are listed in the 'ChangeLog', in the "Notes" section.
This aircraft has a VERY limited operation life span (April to September 1943). Other mods will be relased for the later Razorbacks and Bubble Tops as they are finished.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Wolfs original readmes, when discoverable, are included for historical purposes. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.

SF2 WW2 PTO Republic P-47D "Razorback" Thunderbolt by Cocas 12/24/2014
 
= For SF2 (Full4/5 Merged RECCOMENDED!)
 
*This mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. It was built for SF2 ONLY!!.*
 
This is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co.
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 is for PTO Razorback Jugs -only-!!! And by PTO, this means SoWesPac, NOT CBI, not the Solomons, etc!!! This would include New Guinea, points north and west, and obviously the Philipines. Other theatres will follow as they are completed.**
 
This pak contains 2 complete aircraft, representing the Razorback P-47D-2/D-10 in early/mid 1943, and the later D-15 thru D-20 Razorback Thunderbolt as seen in late 1943 (November-ish) through (nearly the) war's end, in the SoWesPac regions of the PTO (read: 5th AF).
 
Skin(s) included are:
 
P-47D-5 (early model):
340th FS, 348th FG (SWP, mid-1943 scheme w/star-and-ball)
 
P-47D-20 (later model):
340th FS, 348th FG (SWP, late 43/early 44 w/star-and-bar)
310th FS, 58th FG, (SWP/New Guinea region, late 43/early 44)
 
All markings are decals, and Decal randomization is TRUE.
The aircraft is finished in standard 0D/Grey, with Southwest Pacfic markings.
Please note, SWP Theatre, Squadron and/or Group specific markings -ARE- painted on.
The serials herein should be considered "generic" in nature, but ARE for the correct model variant. For the most part, there are NO nose arts, with the exception of a few for the 340th, "borrowed" from Major Lee's 348th FG skin set.
 
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/theatres.
 
As there are several P-74D Razorbacks available, when in game you'll see:
 
P-47D-5 Thunderbolt (CAF)(Mid 43)
P-47D-20 Thunderbolt (CAF)
 
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate it from any others that are around (Wolf or DAT).
For those with the SWP/PTO Razorback mods I've done for Wolf's P-47, this mod is designed to compliment, NOT replace it. However... it's your choice to keep them or not.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, as usual, PLEASE!! give the "Notes" section a read, too.

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.

*Note: there is a DISTINCT possibility that this mod, like it's KAW brother, will =NOT= work in 1stGen installs, at any patch level. Having SF2I Expansion Pak 1 is reccomended, as the loadout references the Stock 3W WW2 bombs.*

This is a complete aircraft pak, with all the trimmings. Skins/Decal sets included are for the following units:

(actually, ALL Invader units in the ETO were in the 9th)
Skins are in DDS format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. There are no nose arts, unfortunately, in this pak.

The Standard Animation Keystroke (shift/0) opens the canopy.

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**

SF2 WW2 PTO B-26 Marauder Pak
 
-- Something for the WW2 PTO players --
= For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
**Note: Having SF2I Expansion Pak 1 is HIGHLY reccomended, as a few of the destroyed models 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 PTO, specificly, in the SoWesPac region (read: New Guinea). It's "representative" of B-26A's used - see Notes below for more information.
 
This unit represented herein is...
 
2nd BS, 22nd BG, circa March 1942 through 1943 (before star-and-bar), in OD/Grey (as operated from Australia and New Guinea)
 
The skin are in jpg format, and have been remade from a new Home Grown ™ 'partial template'. All new, 100% historically accurate serial numbers were created for this squadron. There ARE nose arts for ths aircraf, but they are 'speculative' at best as I could find almost NO references what what they looked like (see Notes for more info). Decal randomization is set to TRUE. Like the ETO version, new DDS format damage textures are included.
 
It should be noted, do =NOT= use this mod in a ETO or MTO-centric mods folder; these Pacific Marauders are different!!!!
 
Engine sounds, pilot figures, a Brand NEW Theatre-specific Hangar screen (in SF2 jpg format) are included. Bombs and guns (and the Mk.13 torpedo!) are not; 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 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 (and tweeked them for PTO usage), it's advised you delete the aircraft and decals folders for them; this pak is desinged to replace them in total.
 
**This aircraft herein are 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 as they is' and you must accept it 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**

**NOTE: due to the EXTENSIVE modifications performed on the various inis, this mod will !!Absolutely!! =NOT= work in SF/Wo* game at any patch level. A FUll 5 Merged install is required, due to the use of SF2NA statements in the data ini, pertaining to Naval Search and Naval Strike.**
 
This is a Re-release of the Veltro2k's WW2 PBY-5A Catalina flying boat patrol bomber aircraft.
While the Game Engine ™ dosent support amphidexterious operations off water, the wing floats extend/retract with the H (arrestor hook) key.
 
This pack contains just the single skin, USN42. This is a rather 'generic' skin, and represents USN VP squadrons from approximately May 1942, when the red ball and rudder stripes were removed. This also -more or less- coincides with the the arrival in greater strentgh in squadron service, of the -5A amphibibian version (which this is), replacing the -4 and -5 seaplane only variant.
Other skins ARE needed; the template for this aircraft should be available still in the SF/Wo* 1stGen downloads section. If not, I'll upload my copy. (we could use RNFAA, RNZAF, USN 3-tone and overall Black for the "Black Cats")
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Note" section a read, too
The Legal Statement has been changed with regards to this aircraft.
For those that still have the original releases, you SHOULD redownload this pak; . There HAVE been MANY changes and additions in several of the inis, in respect to SF2NA.

SF2 WW2 Douglas TBD-1 Devastator Tweeks Pak (DAT)
 
For SF2, Full-5 Merged (RECCOMENDED!!!)
 
*Designed for use in a PTO-centric mods folder built =FROM= the SF2:NA exe. NA coding is required for some statements I've changed/added.*
**This mod will NOT work in 1stGen SF/Wo* game installs. Those that attempt to do so, do so at their own risk. No support is/will be available. The skins will most likely work in SF/Wo*, if they are converted BACK to bmp from DDS. This has not, and cannot be tested by me. You have been warned/advised**
Those users that cannot access the DAT downloads, you're advised to skip this, as it's of no use to you.
 
This is a semi-complete aircraft mod, consisting of mostly skins, decals, inis and various and sundry other needed bits and parts.
This package contains a rebuild of my skins for the Dev A-Team's Douglas TBD Devestator naval attack/torpedo bomber.
It is desinged to be used with their latest lod,
 
TBD1A-R1.lod (dated 9/21/2011, make sure you get the Gen2 version!!)
 
The skins have been partly redone to match the new mapping, and are in DDS format.
Included are several modified inis, that correct/add/change some things. You are advised to BACKUP any/all originals. The Install instructions list which and what to delete or backup.
 
This package contains nearly 100% historical skins and decal markings for US Navy TBDs as seen at both the Battle of the Coral Sea, and The Battle of Midway; their hour of greatest Triumph and Tragedy. I say 'nearly' 100%, as I couldn't quite get some of the wear-and-tear and fabric effects on the skin exactly as they should be, or as I wanted. Also, the BuNums for the VT-2 skin are not 100% match to Modex. Colors have been FS matched, as best as possible, to BuAer spec.
 
The units depicted are...
 
Battle of the Coral Sea:
 
VT-2 USS LEXINGTON
 
Battle of Midway:
 
VT-3, USS YORKTOWN
VT-6, USS ENTERPRISE
VT-8, USS HORNET
 
Unfortnately, I was unable to accurately 'pin down' the modex-to-BuNms-to-crew for VT-2 at Coral Sea. (I HAVE the crew listings, but not the BuNums)
For the Midway Devestator squadrons, Modex and BuNums have been matched =EXACTLY= to their partiuclar aircraft, exactly as placed within each division of each squadron on each ship represented here. A number list for each squadron is included, with the crew names for each aircraft. Their names will show on the Loadout screen.
Decal randomization is TRUE for all skins (which it actually shouldn't be -- the Midway Devestator's numbers.lst has them in their historicaly correct order). New damage textures, in DDS format, are supplied, as is an 'new' engine sound from the AvHistory set.
NOTE: for VT-3, #s 13 & 14 were spare aircraft, that went down with YORKTOWN when she was sunk; research seems to indicate they did not participate in the Battle.
Each skin's paint chip is the historically correct Squadron Patch.
New 'box art' style Hangar Screens are included; The Loading screen artwork depicts Ens. George Gay's attack on AKAGI (the sole survivor of VT-8 whom I had to honor of meeting some years ago)
Included is the new Mk.13 torpedo by Veltro2K
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! In fact, it would be better if one unzipped this archive FIRST, and read all the instructions BEFORE installing this mod. It will make things go easier.
All original DAT readmes are included, for historical and ownership/copyright purposes.
 
Good Luck, and Good Hunting!

**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 level 1stGen game installs. 08 Level 1stGens may have some issues, but this has not/cannot be tested by me.**
 
This is a "Theatre Specific" release of Veltro2K's B-17F Flying Fortress Heavy Bomber. This package =ONLY= represents Forts used in the PTO/SoWesPac region.
 
To eliminate any confusion with any other B-17Fs you may (or may not) have, your in-game displayed name will read "B-17F Flying Fortress (V2K)"
 
There is 1 skins/decal set in this pack:
 
AAF42/43 - OD/G representing aircraft when first they first arrived in Theatre (star/ball insignia). This scheme, and insignia, was used throughout the (rather short) service life of the Fortress in the SoWesPac region. Research has NOT turned up any evidence they ever recieved the "star-and-bar" insigina before being phased out of the PTO.
 
The Skin is in jpg format. All new (theatre specific) serial number decals were created. The serials ARE historically accurate (100%), for those aircraft assigned to the SWP from the first 300 F models deployed worldwide. One may consider the serials as 'generic' in nature, as they represent none of the Bomb Groups/Squadron of the region, but =ARE= correct for the model depicted, and theatre deployed to.
All markings are decals. All lighting is historically correct. Damage textures are in DDS format.
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 and serial number.
 
It should be noted, do =NOT= use this mod in an MTO or ETO-centric mods folder; the Pacific Fortress' (Fortressi?) is slightly different!
 
Engine sounds, pilot figures, BRAND new "Box Art" style Hangar screen (in SF2 jpg format) are included. Operational service dates are rounded to 'whole months', and ARE relatively correct for PTO usage ("Eaker wants them for Europe")
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! PLEASE read the "Notes" section for other important notations.
 
Happy Landings!!

Vought Corsair MK.4, RN Fleet Air Arm, by Mod Mafia/TMF 7/17/2013
 
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*Note: There is a distinct possibility that this mod =MAY= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs. However, due to the excessive modifications made to fit them into the SF2 environment. End Users ™ that attempt to do so, do so at their own risk. A Full 4/5 Merged install is reccomened. At very minimum, SF2:V is required, as this aricraft references the A-1H's destroyed model. Also, some of the SF2 only "switches" will NOT work in 1stGens.*
 
*Note #2: this model will REPLACE, in it's entirety, those using Wolf's as a base. You may (well, should!) delete that mod completly; both the aircraft and decals folders. These, again, will replace them.*
 
A brand "new" model that was never completed when Bpao passed away a few year back. I've been fortunate enough to be allowed to complete his work, as a member of the Mod Mafia.
 
This will complete the set of TMF/MM WW2 Corsairs.
 
This is the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Corsair Mk.4 (with clipped wingtips) as seen 1944 and later aboard RN carriers in the Pacific Ocean (ie: BPF).
 
Skin/Decals are included are for:
 
1830 NAS, BPF, HMS Illustirous
 
1841 NAS, BPF, HMS Formidible
 
Both skins are in 'standard' Fleet Air Arm (ie: USN) Dark Blue Overall.
All skins are in jpg format.
A new-ish SF2 'box art' style hangar screen was (re)created for this aircraft. Damage textures are the old tga versions.
Decals are used for all markings, and Randomization is set to TRUE. This will make it easier for other skinners to recreate other Air Groups by simple making a new "TLet" decal.
 
The aircraft is fully carrier capable. The canopy operates via the Standard Animation Keystorke ™ of Shift/0. Like the other MM/TMF Corsairs, the wingfold operates via the "airbrakes" key. This is why they do not show folded when parked on deck.
 
All lighting is historically accurate. WW2 weapons (ie: bombs, rockets) are included. Even though you may have them already. The pilot figure and engine sounds are included(which you may also have already!).
 
When 'in game', you'll see
 
"Corsair Mk.IV FAA (TMF)"
 
in the aircraft selection drop-down window. This will diferentiate it from any other Mk.IVs you may (or may not) have.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!
 
Good Hunting!

SF2 WW2 Curtiss A-25A Shrike Pak
 
-- Something for the WW2 players (and What Ifers, too, maybe?...) --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
US Army Air Force version of the USN's SB2C-1C Helldiver dive bomber.
The aircraft has been 'de-navalized', with the removal of the hook, and has non-folding wings.
Skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. Serial numbers are historically accurate for this aircraft.
All markings on this aircraft are decals. This'll give the "What Ifers" a fairly blank canvas to create other fictional land-based users.
 
It should be noted, this aircraft NEVER served in a combat capacity, and never left the Continental US. They were regulated to training and target-tow duties. Don't know what you're going to do with it, but here it is.
 
This package is complete, with the aircraft, engine sound (AvHistory). Pilot figure and weapons (including guns) are NOT included. These are reused from the various USN SB2C paks.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too.
 
Happy Landings!

SF2 WW2 Curtiss SB2C-3 Helldiver Pak 9/10/2013
 
-- Something for the PTO players --
 
= For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
A new variant of Veltro2K's SB2C Helldiver.
 
This package represents SB2C-3 Helldiver US Navy Dive Bombers in the mid/late 1944 configuration. There is actually not much external difference between the 3, 4 and 5 models, but I thought it would be nice to have the mid-mark variant. This mod was started in sping 2103 and got lost in some file shuffeling. So, here it is completed.
 
This is a complete aircraft/skin/decal set, minus the weapons and pilot figures. These are all reused from the various other Helldiver packs I've released. The aircraft are finished in the standard Mid-1944 3-tone scheme.
 
Skin/Decal sets included in this pack are for...
 
VB-7, USS Hancock
 
VB-14, USS Wasp
 
As seen during the time frame of the Battle of the Phillipine Sea, and operations over the Phillipines. The historical WW2 squadron patchs, for each squadron, are used for the paint chip on their respective skins seen on the Loadout Screen.
 
Skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. Other than the painted on national markings, all others are decals. This included the Modex and CVW "G" System symbols.
 
New to this mod are DDS format damage textures, replacing the tga type. These can easily be used on any other of the SB2C variants now available, with minimal editing of their main inis.
The Standard Animations Keystroke ™ are used for the wingfold, Shift/9. The pilot and gunner's canopies remains linked to gear retraction/extension.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
 
Good Hunting!

SF2 WW2 CBI RAF Mohawk Mk.IV 2/5/2014
 
-- Something for the CBI players --
 
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
 
*There is a possibility that this mod will =MAY= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game
installs; However, due to the excessive modifications made to fit them into the
SF2 environment, not all things will work. End Users ™ do so at their own
risk.*
 
**Notex2: These aircraft should =ONLY= be used in a seperate CBI-centric mods
folder to prevent them from showing up where, historically, they shouldn't. The
Aircraft/GroundObject sets for CBI are substantially different from the Central
or SouthWest Pacific areas.**
 
This pack contains modifications/reskin/redecaling/etc of Wolf257's P-36
aircraft, and create a nation-specific version for use in the China-Burma-India
Theatre by the RAF. This pak contains a skin for:
 
No. 5 Squadron, RAF
 
As seen in the Assam & Imphal Valleys, and Eastern Bengal in late 1941 thru
1942 (end of service approx 1944). It is finished in standard Temperate Day
Scheme, with full color markings.
 
A new (semi) compliant SF2 FM was cobbled together. As has become expected, the
FM is NOT perfect, and needs further fine-tuning by Experts.
New "box art" style hangar screen, New DDS damage textures, New (AvHistory)
Engine sound, and a new 20# RAF bomb. The skin remains in BMP format, and decal
randomization is set to TRUE. As is usual, all lighting is 100% historically
correct.
Serial numbers are also historicaly correct for th Mohawk II/III/IV, but should
be considered "generic" in nature, as they represent no particular aircraft
with the unit depicted.
All markings are decals, making it easier for other skinners to replicate the
other Mohawk units in the CBI.
 
When in-game, you'll see
 
Mohawk IV (W)
 
on the aircraft selection drop down menu. The "W" is for "Wolf". This is done
as a 'just in case' Raven is working on a newer version (which I believe to be
the case, maybe?).
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are
included. So, please read them.
 
Happy Hunting!

SF2 WW2 CBI RAF Thunderbolt Mk.I & Mk.II 2/10/2014

**Notex2: These aircraft should =ONLY= be used in a seperate CBI-centric mods folder to prevent them from showing up where, historically, they shouldn't. The Aircraft/GroundObject sets for CBI are substantially different from the Central or SouthWest Pacific areas.**
 
This pack contains modifications/reskin/redecaling/etc of Wolf257's P-47D aircraft (both Razorback & BubbleTop), and create a nation-specific version for use in the China-Burma-India Theatre (SEAC) by the RAF. This is the complete aircraft, with everything needed. This pak contains a skins for:
 
Thunderbolt I:
 
No. 261 Squadron, RAF
 
Thunderbolt II:
 
No. 5 Squadron (after converting from Mohawks)
No. 60 Squadron (after converting from Hurricanes, after converting from Blenheims)
 
261 and 5 Squadrons are finished in standard SEAC camo (Temprate Day); 60 squadron is finished in Natural Metal, as they didn't start Thunderbolt operations until May, 1945. That particular skin does NOT use the SF2 "start date" switch, as many of the squadrons continued in camo until VE-Day. You can select it from the drop-down in the usual manner.
All markings are decals, making it very easy for skinners to create other squadrons by simply making a new squadron code letter. Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
The Squadron Crest is used for the paint chip on all 3 skins.
 
A new (semi)compliant SF2 FM was assembled (as used on my other P-47 Mods). As has become expected, the FM is NOT perfect, and needs further fine-tuning by Experts.
 
New "box art" style hangar & loading screens (when art was locatable), New DDS damage textures. The skins are in jpg format, As is usual, all lighting is 100% historically correct.
Serial numbers are also historicaly correct for these Jugs, but should be considered "generic" in nature, as they represent no particular aircraft with the unit(s) depicted, But are correct for the model variants.
 
When in-game, you'll see:
 
Thunderbolt Mk.I (W)
 
Thunderbolt Mk.II (W)
 
on the aircraft selection drop down menu. The "W" is for "Wolf". This will diferentiate them from any other Jugs (RAF, USAAF or otherwise) you may or may not have.
 
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.

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

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