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.
Good Hunting!

This is a BRAND NEW aircraft, brought to you by Cocas Aircraft Factory & Co.
We are calling this "version 0.5 beta", as there are a few minor issues with the LOD, and these will repaired as Real Life allows. But, we wanted to get them out into the hands of our WW2 End Users for their examinations and so forth. See Notes below for a more detailed explaination.

Skins included are:
8th AF
56th Fighter Group :
61st FS (early 44, OD/G)

All markings are decals. Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
Please note, Squadron or Group specific markings -ARE- painted on, as are the Invasion

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 formatting. Damage textures are
also new, in DDS format. There are 2 different Loading Screens, and you can swap them as
you see fit.

SF2 Post-War TB-25J Mitchell Pak 4/5/2015
-- Something just for fun! --
= 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 -NOT- work in 1stGen game installs at any patch level. This has not/cannot/will not be tested by me.**
This little mod represents TB-25J (glass nosed) Mitchells in serivce with the USAF in the post-WW2 time frame. Many of these aircraft were retained and converted to personal transports, navigational & multi-engine trainers, or squadron 'hacks' up until the late 1950s. The aircraft is completely unarmed. However, "those that know how" can readily turn the aircraft to it's original status and function. (see Notes for details).
The aircraft is finished in Natural Metal (withOUT the late 50s white fues top or black "anti-soot" nacelles), and carries standard post-1947 USAF marking, including Buzz Numbers. The skin is in jpg format and all markings are decals. Decal Randomization is TRUE. Engine sounds, pilot figures, and a "couple of other things" are included.
When in game, you'll see
TB-25J Mitchell (v2k)
on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu. This will differentiate it from any other B-25s you may (or may not) have. (even though there ARE no other TB-25s!!)
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!
Remember, an aircraft like this one, saved the world from The Giant Claw!!!
Happy Landings!!

SF2 WW2 MTO Republic P-47D "Razorback" Thunderbolt 12/22/2014
= 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 contains MTO Jugs only!!! Other theatres/users will follow as time permits, and as they are completed.
This pak contains a NEW model, representing the Razorback P-47D Thunderbolt in the MTO as seen in late 1943 through war's end.
Skins included are:
15th AF:
317th FS, 325th FG - this is withOUT the Checkertail markings
317th FS, 325th FG - this is WITH the Checkertail marking; called "317FS_L"
The "L (or Late)" skin uses the SF2 'start date switch', to turn on automatically in April, 1944. By this time, they had finished painting all the checks on all the tails of all the planes in all the 325th's squadrons. These were carried until the Group converted to Mustangs (and had to start all over painting the checks again!!).
The aircraft is finished in standard OD/Grey, with MTO theatre markings on the cowl.
All markings are decals; excepting the 325th Checkertail and MTO theatre markings; these are painted on. Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
There is one base set of decals for both skins. As this is for just one squadron, it makes for a sligtly smaller up/down load package.
There -are- some nose arts, and you'll find them listed with the individual aircraft number drop down on the Loadout Screen. They are matched to their 'plane-in-squadron' Battle Number.
Damage textures are new, in DDS format. The Hangar Screen is a rather 'generic' type.
The canopy opens/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke , Shift/0
Pilots, sounds, weapons are all included.
Templates for this aircraft will be issued as a seperate release, for those skinners that wish to do other units for other theatres or Allied users.
As there are several P-74D Razorbacks available, when in game you'll see:
P-47D-20 Thunderbolt (CAF)
on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate it from any others that are around (Wolf or DAT).
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, as usual, give the "Notes" section a read, too.

This pak contains, as stated above, a NEW aircraft, representing the Razorback P-47D (-5 thru -20) Thunderbolt as seen in late 1943 through war's end.
Skins included are:
56th Fighter Group (8th AF):
61st FS
62nd FS
63rd FS
and
377th FS, 362nd FG (9th AF)
All markings are decals; this will allow super easy creation of other squadrons by simply creating a new SCode decal, although those with a purer historical heart will also have to run down the matching serial numbers for their decal creation. Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
Please note, Squadron or Group specific markings -ARE- painted on.
The mod has the correct nose arts, matched to plane-in-squadron letter and serial numbers for the 61st FS only. However, the serials for the 62nd & 63rd ARE matched to their plane-in-squadron letter. They have no nose arts. Any marked with a star (*) ARE correct for their squadron, but could not be 100% matched to a particular aircraft.
The 61st carries the mid-to-late 43 style of QIMs, and the other 2 (62 & 63) have the 1944 style used the 56th, including the squadron colored tails.
The 377th is in natural metal, and has full D-Day markings. Included is a post-September 44 skin, with D-Day stripes -only- on the bottom. Those serials should be considered "generic" in nature, but ARE for the correct model variant.
All the 1stGen Hangar and/or Loading screens were either rebuilt to SF2-spec, or created new for this package. They are in jpg format, and fit SF2 styling. Damage textures are also new, in DDS format.
The canopy opens/closes with the Standard Animation Keystroke , Shift/0
Pilots, sounds, weapons are all included.
Templates for this aircraft will be issued as a seperate release, for those skinners that wish to do other units for other theatres or Allied users.

on the aircraft selection dropdown menu. This will diferentiate it from any others that are around (Wolf or DAT).
As some unit markings are repeated, those with the mods I built for Wolf's Razorback, can choose to keep those, revamp them for use on THIS model, or remove them to storage. You'll most likely be doing this when the D 'Bubbletop' is released.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, as usual, give the "Notes" section a read, too.

SF2 WW2 MTO USAAF P-40L Pak by Raven 12/18/2014
-- 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.*
**Note x2: this mod is designed for use =ONLY= in a MTO-Centric mods folder**
At first, (as usual!!) 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-40L 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...
317th FS, 325th FG (the Checkertails)
as seen from late 1943 in North Africa and points North. This is the timeframe BEFORE the 325th converted to P-47s.
The original "OD_Green" skin is included, as the #2 texture, and has it's decals randomized. It carries the "star-and-ball" of 1942 thru Sept 43 insignia.
As a second option, I've included a "generic" MTO light earth/dark earth/grey unders camo skin. If one wants to use that type in place of the OD, I'd advise moving or renaming the OD skin maps !!BEFORE!! doing anything else.
All 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.
No weapons are included, excepting SF2 Version of the 2 drop tanks required (for those that haven't converted yet). New theatre-specific Hangar and Loading screens are included, too.
When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop-down, you'll see
P-40L-10 CU (Raven)
This will diferentiate this for any other Warhawks you may (or may not) have.
As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!! Also, please give the "Notes" section a read as well

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.
This pak contains a NEW model, representing the P-47C Thunderbolt as seen in early to mid 1943 when first arriving in England. There is one "base" skin map, and the marking represent the...
334th FS, 4th FG
This was the first "combat ready" version of the Jug, but was quickly superceded by later improved models (D Razorback), hence it short operational life. This has the bulged keel, with provision for a single drop tank or bomb. This should be the equlivant of the C-5-RE version.
All markings are decals; this will allow super easy creation of other squadrons by simply creating a new SCode decal, although those with a purer historical heart will also have to run down the matching serial numbers for their decal creation. Decal randomization is set to TRUE.
The mod has the correct nose arts, matched to plane-in-squadron letters and serial numbers for the 334th FS.
