SF2 WW2 C-47 Skytrain
-- Something for the WW2 players --
= For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged -PLUS- SF2I Expansion Pak 1 Required!!! =
*Note: you MUST have SF2I Expansion Pak 1 to gain access to the C-47A to add the mod to. If you do
not meet the requirement, DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS MOD, as you'll be unable to use it.*
A quickie redecaling of the 3W Skytrain to represent Early WW2 C-47s in use pretty much anywhere in
the world. It uses the stock OD skin, with the Round Star (no meatball, no bars) as seen from May
1942 through September(ish) 1943. 12 serial number decals are included; these ARE actual C-47A
serials from the correct timeframe.
Also included is Kesselbrut's cockpit*, for those that haven't made it flyable, and a new engine
sound, of an actual C-47. The userlist ini also included, adding Australia as a new nation; a WW2
RAAF skin is in the works.
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please
read them.
This will look quite good sitting parked around you WW2 airfields!
*Note: although a cockpit is supplied, it is reccomended to leave the aircraft under AI control.
There is very little actual use for transport aircraft in game, at the moment, other than as eye
candy.
Happy Landings!

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

Lockheed P-38J, 20th FG, 8th AF, ETO
= For SF2, Any and All (Full-5 Merged Prefered/Reccomended) =
- Something for the European Theatre
*Note: due to certain changes in the data ini, it may NOT be usable in any 1stGen game install at any patch level. End Users who choose to do so can expect no support if/when issues arise.*
This pack is a revamp of the 1stGen (SF/Wo*) WW2 ETO 20th FG pak originally released in 2009. It now incorporates the changes seen on the Recently Released PTO P-38 Pak. This is the complete aircraft, with all the "little fiddly bits" included.
The 3 squadrons of the Group represented are:
55th FS
77th FS (both in OD/Grey)
79th FS (in Natural Metal)
All skins are in jpg format. Included are sounds, pilot figue, and weapons (excepting the standard WW2 AN series bombs, readly available all over the place!). Decal randomization is set to TRUE. The Squadron Name display on the Loadout Screen has been activated via my "fake" SqTail decal, so their modern names will show.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. Please READ them! The original readme from my SF/Wo* release is included, as it contains further explainations and historical notations. Wolf's original release readme is also included
Happy Landings!

All skins are in jpg format, Decal Randomization is TRUE. All get new SF2 versions of the original 'box art' hangar screens. Damage textures are the old tga versions.
All have semi-compliant SF2 Flight Models, but they do need further fine tuning by experts. All lighting is 100% historically correct.
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Remember -- these are very old models, so they "are as they is". All original readmes, when discoverable, are included.

P-51C Mustang, ETO by Wolf257
= For SF2, Any and All* =
*Note: reccomended to have at least SF2 Expansion Pak 1, and be at the latest patch level, as the decals referenced on the Generic NM skin call to several stock 3W decals. If not at that level, you'll have to find alternative serial numbers and period-correct USAAF national insignia decals to use*
Some slight modifications and tweeks to Wolf's P-51C "Malcolm Hood" USAAF Mustang bring it closer in line for SF2 usage.
Included are 3 skins:
356th FS, with 99.9% hisorically accurate codes, serials and nose arts
'Generic' Olive Drab
'Generic' Natural Metal.
All skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
2 Data inis are suppliled; one is the original from way back when, and the one being used now has some of the SF2 statements. It's not perfect; it seems works well enough, but does need further adjustments and fine-tuning by an expert.
A new SF2 version of the original 'box art' Hangar screen is included, as are the needed weapons (ie: the drop tank), sounds and the pilot figure.

Mustang III, Royal Air Force, MTO by Wolf257
= For SF2, Any and All =
*Specifically designed for a SF2, MTO-Centric based mods folder*
This is a modifcation of Wolf257's P-51B Mustang into the earlier Mk.III version (non Malcom Hood), as used the RAF in the MTO (and elsewhere, too!)
This pak, a complete aircraft with all the trimmings, represents aircraft from 112 Squadron 'Sharkmouths', circa 1944/45.
All skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE.
A new SF2-compliant Hangar screen is included, as are the needed weapons (ie: the drop tank), sounds and the pilot figure.
FM is similiar to the recently (re)release USAAF P-51C (ok, it's really the same one, nationalized)
As always, fairly easy to follow, highly detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them.
Wolf's original (P-51B) release readme, and my RAF Mustang III readme are included for historical purposes

SF2 WW2 CBI Mustangs
-- Something for the CBI players --
= For SF2, Full-4/5 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.*
**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 Central or SouthWest Pacific areas. You'll need the Burma and China WW2 terrains from the 1stGen Terrains Downloads. Be advised, that even though I reworked both terrains some years ago, they need yet another going over to correct many faults; but they ARE perfecly playable as is, with the needed SF2 terrain conversion tweeks that is :)**
This pack contains 3 aircraft, by or modded from those build by Wolf257, for use in the China-Burma-India Theatre by the USAAF. They are:
A-36 Apache
P-51A Mustang
P-51B Mustang
All aircraft are from the 311th FBG, and represent the various squadrons. These are the ONLY early model Mustangs to see service in the Pacifc Theatre (well, ok, actually CBI!), and no where else. The D model's didn't start to make their appearences until US Forces landed in the Phillipines. Hence, again, the need for a seperate CBI-centric install.
New (semi)compliant SF2 FMs were cobbled together. As has become expected, the FM is NOT perfect, and needs further fine-tuning by Experts. New hangar screens, theatre specific weapons (except the WW2 bombs -you should have them already), a pilot figure and engine sounds are included. All skins are in jpg format, and decal randomization is set to TRUE. As is usual, all lighting is 100% historically correct. Remember, too, the A-36 and P-51A are the Allison engined versions, and therefore not as 'quick' as the Merlin powered models.
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 original readmes are included for historical purposes (when discoveralbe from the archives)

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)
Happy Hunting!
