WW2 Aircraft Skins

Nakajima Ki-43 "Oscar", Skin , For SF/WoV/WoE PTO Installs
 
This package contains a reskin of Wolf257's Ki-43 'Oscar'. It is specifically designed for use on the Ki-43iib mod I released last year . Again, this skin is for Wolf's Oscar =ONLY= , and will absolutely NOT work on ArmorDave's version
You MUST have the Wolf's "WW2 Planes Pak", AND my Ki-43iib mod to install this to. Both are available at CombatAce.
 
The skin is based off the original IJAAF Natural Metal and Camos, and was built from a new template created off the original skins. All new panel, rivet lines, and other details were drawn by me. The tail Chutai marking is a decal.
 
It represents aircraft of 11 Sentai, 2 Chutai during early 1942 through early 1943 timeframe, as seen over Malaya, Dutch East Indies (or NEI) and New Gueina. 2 other chutai tail makings have been supplied for those wishing to create the full Sentai. (full instructions are below in the "To Create The Full Sentai" section)
 
-= NOTE: You MUST have the Bunyap Weapons Pak of 6/06 to get the WW2 weapons and guns and such =-
--= NOTE: You MUST have Wolf257's Ki-43 (and my Ki-43IIb mod) to install this pakage into (duh!!) and =--
- This mod has ONLY been tested in SF, WoV and WoE. This mod is NOT reccomended for use in a WW2 style install of WoI, as it handles prop flight models in "an extreamly odd way".-
 
It is HIGHLY suggested that you read the enclosed readme COMPLETLY THROUGH before installing this pak; this will help you during the install process, blah, blah, blah, Notes and Comments section, and of course, etc.
 
Happy Landings!

The newest and most technologically advanced fighter aeroplane in the world today, is the "Glorious Tiger Lion Monty Python Camel Terminator Eagle Of Kazakhstan That Crushes Weak Armies Such Uzbekistan Like Moth", or the easy to pronounce "GTLMPCTEOKTCWASULM" for short, or "Tiger Moth" for even shorter.
 
This is a repaint of Wrench's Nigerian AF Tiger Moth, re-decaled to look like a Kazakhstan Air Force tiger moth.
 
Credit also to RussoUK, for the excellent little bird.
 
I have been told that repaints are fair game, just give credit. This I have done, and if anyone takes offense, I will remove it.

AVG Skinpack v1.1
 
For P-40 Tomahawk by Wolf257
 
Thanks to Wrench for sharing his superlative Template, and for the use of his new, improved ring-bead gunsight and cockpit.ini file. Cheers Wrench ;-)
 
Thanks also to Wolf257 for his AVG camo pattern which forms the base colouring of this skin set.
 
Decals, .ini edits and so forth by Baltika. There are a/c numbers, tailcodes and squadron markings for 100 of the AVG Tomahawks. Where possible I have tried to match these up with actual serial numbers, but the sources of information are often conflicting.
 
What you get are three separate folders, one for each of the AVG Squadrons, "Adam & Eves," "Panda Bears" and "Hell's Angels." Just drop the the 1AVG, 2AVG and 3AVG folders into your Tomahawk folder and you should be good to go.
 
There is also a folder called "AVGKills" which also goes into your Tomahawk folder. This contains kill markings for up to 50 kills. If your pilot has more than that you will need to start a new pilot to get them to show up.
 
You may want to add the following entries to your SquadronList.ini - what, you don't already have them. . . ? ;-)
 
Add to SquadronList, renumbering from the last in line:-
 
[squadronxxx]
Name=1AVG
DisplayName=1st Sqdn AVG - "Adam & Eves" - Sqdn. Ldr. Robert Neale
Nation=AVG
 
[squadronxxx]
Name=2AVG
DisplayName=2nd Sqdn AVG - "Panda Bears" - Sqdn. Ldr. John Newkirk
Nation=AVG
 
[squadronxxx]
Name=3AVG
DisplayName=3rd Sqdn AVG - "Hell's Angels" - Sqdn. Ldr. Arvid Olson
Nation=AVG
 
 
Also, make sure your NATION.INI (in the /Flight folder) has the following entry - I'm not sure if this is stock with the upgraded Nations Pack, or Charles' WW2 Formations mod, but here it is just in case:=-
 
[Nationxxx]
Name=AVG
DisplayName=American Volunteer Group
Alignment=FRIENDLY
PlayerFlyable=TRUE
Mercenary=FALSE
PilotNameList=NamesUS.lst
RankList=RanksUSAF.lst
CallsignList=CallsignsUS.lst
Formation.Fighter=WW2USFighter
Formation.Attack=WW2USMedBomber
Formation.Bomber=WW2USBomber
Formation.Transport=WW2USMedBomber
Formation.Tank=USTank
Formation.MobileAD=USAD
PilotTrainingStandard=GOOD
GenderRatio=0
DebriefSuccessMusic=DebriefSuccess.wav
DebriefFailMusic=DebriefFail.wav
DebriefKilledMusic=DebriefKilled.wav
SpeechFile=USAFSpeech.cat
SpeechTextFile=USAFSpeechText.cat
Medals=MedalsROC.ini
MedalTextFile=MedalsROC.str
 
 
 
 
I have also included a new Flying Tigers themed loading screen from a "collage" I found somewhere on the web. Drop it into your Tomahawk folder and edit the Tomahawk.ini file to include the following line, replacing the old one, if you want to use it:-
 
LoadingScreen=FlyingTigersLoading.bmp
 
Unfortunately I can't find my note of the name of the person who made this so I can't give proper credit. Sorry! It was freely available for d/l on a "fair use" basis, so I don't think I am breaching their intention by including it here. If you recognise it, please let me know and I will add a credit, or remove it if the originator so wishes.
 
 
You will also see a Ring-bead sight .tga and cockpit .ini which were built by Wrench, and are gratefully included in this package. Here's the instructions from Wrench's original Readme:-
 
****************************************************
 
= To Install Gunsight/Cockpit ini:
 
Rename your original Tomahawk_COCKPIT.INI by renaming it somehing originnal, like "ori_Tomahawk_COCKPIT.INI"
Drop the new "Ring-Bead_Sight.tga" into the cockpit folder.
Drop the new "Tomahawk_COCKPIT.INI" into the main Tomahawk folder.
You're done. This will give you a nice, standard fixed sight (done in black, with a gold aim bead). It might take a little getting used to, but it's much more historically accurate, as the reflector sights didn't appear until the D model.
 
As usual, I can be reached at the emal below, or on the SimHQ, Colum5 or CombatAce message boards. With thanks to Wolf for creating this bird, and to everyone else who has expanded our gaming experience into other times and places!
 
Enjoy!

That's all folks!
 
Any problems, questions, complaints about these skins, you can get me at combatace. I am a fully signed up member of the "Fair Use" modding agreement at combatace, so feel free to modify these as you wish. Credit where it's due (remember the original template is by Wrench, The) and no payware, but otherwise these are fair game.
 
 
 
Burma Air War 1942 campaign coming soon. . .
 
Cheers,

AVG Skin Pack for P-40 Tomahawk
 
AVG Killmarkings
 
by Baltika
 
 
These are for use with the "AVG Skin Pack for P-40 Tomahawk" previously uploaded. Killmarks got left out of the original upload by mistake, sorry!
 
 
Just drop the AVGKills folder into your Objects/Aircraft/Tomahawk folder and you are all set.
 
Kill marks for up to 50 kills, so if your pilot has more than that you will need to start a new pilot to get them to show up.
 
Tora! Tora! Tora!
