VF-871 RCN Squadron for the Hawker Sea Fury FB.11/Mk.50
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
History:
~~~~~~~~
 
The RCN equipped Nos 803 and 883 Squadrons (later designated VF-870 and VF-871) with the Hawker SEA FURY. these squadrons flew 75 Sea Furies from February, 1948 to April, 1957 operating from both HMCS Magnificent and its replacement, HMCS Bonaventure. One of the Sea Fury's acquired was a Mk.10 while the other 74 were F.B. Mk.11s. These were both single seat fighters and fighter-bombers, and were similar except that the Mk 11s were equipped to carry the 100/1,000 pound jettisonable wing bomb carriers. The outer portions of the wings of both models could be folded upwards hydraulically to facilitate stowage below decks on an aircraft carrier.
 
 
Installation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You must first have the SeaFury_v1 bt Simon Porter in order to install these skins.
Unzip to your /Objects/Aircraft/SeaFury folder.
 
Go fly
 
 
*I have also included RCN themed Loading and Hangar screens. backup your originals just in case you don't like mine. Thanks to RCAF.com and Airliners.net for the images and information.
 
 
Credits:
~~~~~~~~
I would like to thank Simon Porter for all the hard work he put into creating the Sea Fury. Thanks to Saguanay for reference material and also to David Hanvey and Paul Barry who created a wonderful FS 2004 model of the Sea Fury which I used as reference.
Have fun!

F4U-1C "Corsair" modification for SF/WoV/WoE WW2 PTO installs
 
This package is a simple mod to the existing F4U-1C created by Wolf257. It includes mods to the data, loadout and cockpit ini. There is also a new skin, representing VMF-311 in late 1944 to the end of the war time frame. And a few other bits and goodies.
 
The loadout has been modified from the original, as I've discoverd the -1Cs only used the inboard rocket rails. Also, I've changed the centerline station's drop tank type to use Geo's from his Hellcat. It's much closer to the actual shape and size. -- so you MUST have the latest weapons pak, and/or Geo's Hellcat installed to make use of his tank!!!! (it also makes real good sense to have Wolf's WW2 planes pak installed, to have the -1C Corsair, as well)
 
Please read the enclosed readme for full, detailed instructions, plus notes, comments and general mayhem.
 
Happy Landings!

The SK-14 was actually a license built NA 16-4M (So actually the tail gunner and guns should be removed but I'm not into 3-d modelling)
It was produced from 1939 up to 1946 and used as a trainer. Credits

N1K2-J 'George" Update For SF/WoV/WoE WW2: PTO installs
 
This is an update to Wolf257's N1K2-J "George" IJN fighter.
 
As stated, this mod, consisting of 2 new skins, data and loadout ini mods is designed to update things to the most current standard. Weapons loadouts have been adjusted for "Imperial Japan" usage, lights have been repositioned, and some tweeks to the data ini, mostly in hardpoints, loadings and an enhanced AI section added, along with switching over to 'metric' readouts for those that play with the info sections visible in the lower left corner.
 
The first skin represents 343 Kokoutai - all 3 Squadrons-, Genda's "Squadron of Experts", in the Home Defense role circa early 1945-to the end of the war. I've redrawn all the panel lines, added my 'interperative' rivet lines (meaning no claims to accuracy are made!), worn and dirtied it up some. Individual aircraft numbers are 'best guess' based on a few profiles, and some info I've gathered on IJN numbering sequences. Therefore, 100% accuracy is NOT claimed for these as well.
 
Skin #2, ie "IJN2" represents aircraft from the Yokosuka Air Group (couldn't find the number), and is very heavily weathered. (my first attempt at the 'peeled paint', so be kind! - I DO have some ideas on how to improve it.)
 
Included also is a repainted bmp for the Zeke cockpit (as it's used on the George), that 'hides'' the MG breeches, kinda.
I've even enclosed my George hangar and loading screens, for those that don't already have them. They're the same ones, so if you've got them already...no biggie (just so's ya know), and the damaged tga for the shot-up look.
 
The screenshot above, is the 343 Kokutai skin.

Mitsubishi Ki-21 "Sally" Skin & Ini update package for SF/WoV/WoE WW2: PTO installs
 
This little package will upgrade Wolf's IJAAF bomber to fit more with current standards of loads, lights.
 
It includes 2 skins, the first for 12 Sentai as seen in Southeast Asia (Thailand) circa 1943, and the second for 98 Sentai, Phillipine Islands, for most of the war.. The skins have newly redrawn panel lines, 'interperative' rivets added (meaning I claim no historical accuracy for their placement), simulated fabric surfaces, simulated fuselage windows, plus general dirt and weathering added.
 
This package contains tweeked data ini that corrects some loadout diffuculties (not being able to carry the full bomb load), and adjusted running lights. Also included is a 'new' wav file for the engines.
 
Remembe, you must have the latest weapons pak to get the WW2 bombs and guns and stuff!!!

A6M5 Zero Skin and Ini Updates: for SF/WoV/WoE WW2, PTO installs
 
This little modification includes several small changes to the several inis and a re-skin for ArmorDave's A6M5 "Zeke" IJN fighter. Included are tweeked data, loadout, cockpit and main inis with adjustments to the latest standards. All the running lights have been re-positioned. The aircraft IS carrier-capable, already having the tailhook.
 
The skin, from a new template created by me from the original Volks & Lansen skins, is included. It represents 331 Kokutai sometime in 1944. All panel and rivet lines have been redrawn, with all the little 'detail' and 'interior' bits from the originals - so they get credit too!!! Included are individual aircraft number decals for approx 36 aircraft, with a filler for the "off the list" numbers.
 
I've also given you some other gunsight tgas, so you can choose between them.

G4M2 Betty Update: for SF/WoV/WoE WW2, PTO installs
 
This little modification includes several small changes to the data, loadout and a partial re-skin for ArmorDave's G4M2 Betty IJN bomber. Included is also a cockpit ini (based off Pasko's Mosquito) for those perverts that like to fly bombers. The cockpit itself, however, is NOT included.
 
The data ini update includes tweeks to the weapons stations, creating a semi-conformal mount for the Type 91 torpedo, slightly adjusted bomb loads, repositioning the running lights, repositioning the exhaust emitters so now each engine leaves a trail; small adjustments to the turrets, the additions of the nose and waist gunner stations; which at present are NOT working (see note below for more info and plea for help!)
 
I say partial re-skin, as I'm ONLY including the one skin bmp, partly repainted to represent aircraft from 752 Kokutai. Included are individual number decals for 18 aircraft, plus one 'generic' stand-in for those off the end of the list...Only the one skin bmp is included; you'll be copy/pasting the other from the 'Green' skin folder over to the 752 skin folder.
 
The other skin folder, represents aircraft from 763 Kokutai. Both the skin bmps are NOT included -- you'll be copying them over from the original "Green" skin folder.
 
= You MUST have the latest Weapons Pak installed for the WW2 Weapons!!! =
 
And, obviously, you must have AD's Betty installed to use the package....

P-47D-25, Generic Post-WW2 Skin for SF, WoV & WoE
 
A "simple garden variety" natural metal skin for Wolf's P-47D-25 'Bubbletop' Thunderbolt.
 
This is a 'representative' skin for the F-47D Thunderbolt, in the post-1947 era, right after the formation of the US Air Force. As they were still a few around for a few years, mostly in the Air National Guard, I thought I'd throw together a little something. Now, mind you, these are NOT ANG aircraft, but should be considered as 'front line', as I didn't create ANG style decals.
The tail serial numbers are actual P-47D serials, just so's your tail fin don't look and feel so neeked.
I've also created the "buzz numbers" so prevelant in the post-war period, and into the Korea War, so this skin set will fit nicely into a "Cold War Gone Hot: 1948" scenario.
 
There are a few changes in the cockpit ini, adding a new sight tga (USAAF Mk.8). Instructions are below, in the "To Install" section.
And, once again, all the lights have correct positions, colors, including a landing light.
A new, WoE style Hangar Screen is also provided.
Information of 'fixing' the loadout problem with the Triple-Bazooka launchers is also supplied

P-51D-30, Generic Post-WW2 Skin and Ini Update for SF, WoV & WoE
 
A "simple, plain old garden variety" natural metal skin for Wolf's P-51D-30 Mustang, that uses the "P-51D30_V3.LOD", or in other words, the latest version that's available in the "Planes Pak", to be found at CombatAce .
 
This is a 'representative' skin for the F-51D Mustang, in the post-1947 era, right after the formation of the US Air Force. I did some experimentation with 'paneling'. I just used various verrry light tones of gray to try and create the differing panel sections. The skin itself was created from Wolf's original template, with cleaned up and redrawn panel lines, my 'interperative' rivets, and a new look for the cowl vent/air filter inlet.
The tail serial numbers are actual P-51D serials, just so's your tail fin don't look and feel so neeked.
I've also created the "buzz numbers" so prevelant in the post-war period, and into the Korea War, so this skin set will fit nicely into a "Cold War Gone Hot: 1948" scenario, or even a Korean War one.
 
As everybody knows how I hate to waste good decals, and just for fun, I transfered over and positioned a whole bunch of the various nose arts from other aircraft. So there's something to look at; and most surely against the Regs in the post-war era....there may be some partial or semi-nudidity on some some of them.
 
A few changes in the cockpit ini, added 2 new sight tgas (K-14 AA and AG sights). Instructions are below, in the "To Install" section.
And, once again, all the lights have correct positions, colors, and that nice little retractable landing light lens that Wolf provided for us, in now actually the landing light. --- really, this is the last time I'm fixing it!!!!
A new, WoE style Hangar Screen is also provided, for those wishing to use the aircraft/skin in a CWGH: 48 style install.
 
== You MUST also have the latest weapons pak to make use of the WW2 weapons.==
 
As stated above, there here highly detailed, step-by-step install instructions -- so PLEASE read them, ok???

Polikarpov I-16-10 CAF update package for SF/WoV/WoE WW2: PTO installs
 
This little package will upgrade Wolf's cute little Soviet fighter to fit more with current standards of loads, lights and cockpit. You'll be transfering files from another of his WW2 Planes, so make sure you have them installed.
 
I've included a newer version of Wolf's Chinese Air Force skin. The skin has newly redrawn panel lines, 'interperative' rivets added (meaning I claim no historical accuracy for their placement), some weathering and general dirt added. But -- the credit for the original skin is STILL with Wolf; all I did was fiddle with some eye candy bits.
 
This package contains tweeked data, loadout and cockpit inis. The cockpit ini (now called "Rata_Cockpit.ini) is a copy of the one from Wolf's Tomahawk/P-40B, as it has a better look for this aircraft (albeit not perfect, but workable). You will be transfering the cockpit folder from the Tomahawk for use in this aircraft. The ini has had the pilot positions adjusted to match the I-16, plus some 'moves' courtesy of what I've learned from Lexx_Luthor.
 
I have also included a small (25kg) WW2 Soviet bomb, that comes with the Dev A-Team's IL-2, so you'll be using the weapons editor to add this as well.

The skins have newly redrawn panel lines, 'interperative' rivets added (meaning I claim no historical accuracy for their placement), simulated fabric surfaces, some weathering and general dirt added.
 
This package contains tweeked main, data, loadout and cockpit inis. The cockpit ini (now called "Nate_Cockpit.ini) is a copy of the one from AD's Ki-43 'Oscar', as it has the best look for this aircraft.

USAAF P-51C Mustang Upgrade & Skin Pak for SF/WoV/WoE, WW2 ETO Installs
 
This is a re-skin and ini upgrade package for Wolf's P-51C "Mustang" (Malcom Hood). The skin was created from his orginal template, but I've redrawn all the panel lines, added some rivets, made various and sundry enhancements to the skin; made several changes in the data, loadout and cockpit inis. A new N-3 gunsight tga has also been included.
 
The skin represents aircraft from 356th Fighter Squadron, 354th Fighter Group "The Pioneer Mustang" unit circa 1944/45 (pre-invasion striped, or post invasion striped -whichever you deceide!). I've heavly researched this unit, and as best I could, tried to match photos of the nose art. Where data was available, the actual serial numbers have been used. All others are C model serials, but I make no claims to if they actually served in 356th. Some of the nose arts are 'interperative'; meaning I did them in the best way I could to get them to fit on the aircraft. Some are in the 99% acuracy range, so I think you all should be pretty happy with them. You'll have squadron codes and individual letters for 26 aircraft
 
You'll also find a new "MustangC" hangar screen, I created just for this mod, and ONLY available with it!!!

Focke Wulf Fw-190A5 Upgrade Package for SF, WoV & WoE WW2 ETO/SWOTL Installs:
 
This is a re-paint and rebadging of original Fw-190A5, with completly redrawn rivet and panel lines. Wolf was always good about giving us the templates with his birds, and I've put this one to VERY good use.
 
This skin represents Fw-190A5s from 3/JG2 in the 43/44 time frame in Western Europe/Occupied France (you know, about the time of D-Day). I make NO claims to historical accuracy; I have just enough knowledge of Luftwaffe camo & markings to get into trouble (but I'm getting better!), and I'm sure there are much more educated folks out there on the subject.
 
I -have- tried to make it as accurate as possible, even to getting the proper RLM colors added to my swatch list. As best I could, I even added the little warning placards around the fuselage, wings and tail. Along with the 'eagle head' shape over the fuselage. Included is the nose art for aircraft #13, as flown by 'Pips' Priller.
 
This is a complete package, replacing the original data, loadout, cockpit and main inis, due to several modifications I've effected. There are even new hangar and loading screens, 2 of each to choose from (one just being a revamp of my original). These screens can be used on any version of the Butcher Bird.
 
This skin can also be used on any other versions of the FW-190, just edit the decals ini to point to the correct mark
