F2A-3 Buffalo, Skin and Ini Update Pak For SF/Wo*/SF2 PTO Installs
 
This is a semi-complete package for the Dev A-Team F2A Buffalo, in USN and USMC service at the beginning of World War 2.
 
It is semi-complete due to DAT rules, the aircraft lod is NOT included. So, you'll need the F2A-R2.LOD to compete this package. Everything else IS included.
 
3 skin/decal set are included; and there's 3 individual readmes, as I've combined all the earlier seperate downloads from my now-closed site, into one. I'd reccomend reading them all, if only for the historical reference
 
VF-2 "Flying Chiefs", USS Lexington, December 1941
VMF-212, MCAS Ewa, Territory of Hawaii, circa January 1942
VMF-221, Midway Island, June 1942 (yes, them). This skin is 100% historically accurate, with BuNum matched to Modex numbers for the aircraft assigned during the Battle of Midway. (shown in screenshot)
 
Canopy works via manual animation key, the standard Shift/0
Also included is the engine sound, and a pilot figure. NOTE: the pilot figure is set for 06 level, so you drop him into the root of the /Objects/Aircaft folder.
 
For SF2 usage, you'll get a new folder for him in the /Pilots sub-folder. In essence, you've got him twice!
 
Once unzipped, all you need to is drop the LOD into the /F2A folder,and off you go. I'd also advise reading each of the enclosed readmes.
 
*Note: while still designed with 06 SF/Wo* in mind, it should also be usable in 08 Level SF/Wo*. If used in 08s & SF2, be advised a completly new FM will be necessary. Also, cockpit repositioning will be needed for SF2. Post all questions & problems in the SF2 PropHead Forum. I'll get them worked out (excepting FMs and LOD issues)!*

Potez 633 B2
Royal Romanian Air Force
 
Contracts for two batches of 20 Potez 633 B2s were issued by the Romanian government and the first order was delivered in 1939. A new bomber group was set up for the new aircraft, Group 2, which included the 74th and 75th Squadrons.
 
On June 21 1941, Group 2 was placed under alert and at 20:00 Romania entered the war alongside Nazi Germany. In September 1941 another nine 633s from the Armee de l'Air d'Armistice were delivered. In September 1942 the 633s were operating over the Don and Stalingrad and were split between:
- 1st Long Range Reconnaissance Squadron
- 3rd Long Range Reconnaissance Squadron
- 74th Light bomber Squadron
 
By spring 1943 the remaining 633s were withdrawn from combat and delivered to 1st Fighter wing for night flying instruction.
 
(Updated for minor skin corrections.)

VF-85 F4U-1c Decal Fix
 
For SF1/WOV/WOE PTO/CBI installs
 
This fixes the blank decal's that show up and stops the decal no show (hopefully). I have included a filler decal so when the game engine cycle’s the numbers there is a decal that will show. Just the VF-85 lightning bolt with no number.
 
To install: Unzip and just drop the VF-85 folder in to your F4U-1c folder, over right? Say Yes.
I have also updated the numbers.lst
 
 
Tested with WOE Patched 06
 
Original readme included.

J-11 CR.42 (for Strike Fighters Series)
===================================================================
This is skins for the J-11 (the Swedish designation of the Fiat CR.42 Falco).
It represents the J-11 stationed at F9 Säve (Gothenburg) during ww2.
I've altered and added some screens and renamed the folder to better match my own WoE installation.
Therefore I distribute this as a "whole" aircraft for easier install.
Info about J-11 here:

Lockheed P-38L Lightning - Italian Air Force - 3^ Stormo Caccia (1948-1954)
Forgotten Lightnings Part 1
---skin for P-38L by Wolf257---
size: 2048x2048 (main .bmp, others in 512x512 and 256x256)
 
 
-------------------Historical notes-----------
In the 1946, 100 Lightnings, parked in open storage at Napoli-Capodichino airfield, were assigned
to newborn Aeronautica Militare Italiana. The IMM (Industrie Meccaniche Meridionali, later Aerfer)
overhauled a total of 93 planes (including 20 recon F-5.) The first unit to receive the Lightings was the 4^ Stormo Caccia (June 1946-April 1948). In 1948 the 4^ Stormo was rearmed with the P-51D, and the P-38s were assigned
to 3^ Stormo Caccia (1948-1954). From September 1948 to July 1952, four F-5s were assigned to Nucleo Sperimentale Volo at Roma-Guidonia (later "Reparto Sperimentale Volo"), and used in 34 "ferret" flights over Yugoslavia and Albania. The Lightning was finally retired from servince in July 1956.
 
Others units equipped with the P-38L:
Reparto Volo 4a ZAT (Zona Aerea Territoriale)
SCOT, Scuola Caccia Ognitempo (All-weather Fighter School)
Sezione Aerofotografica, 56th TAF (Tactical Air Force)
 
65 P-38L (L-5 and L-10 version, one in Droop Snoot configuration?)
2 P-38J (not confirmed)
20 F-5E-4, F, G recon Lightnings. (including a single F-5B?)
6 P-38DC double-seater advanced trainers, modified under FIAT design. (DC= Doppi Comandi. First flight: April 29, 1948)
 
30 planes were lost in service due to engines failures, undercarriage crashes and pilots mistakes.
 
Note about skin: light decals distortions under the nacelles.
No solution at this time, sorry...
 
-------------------Installation:----------------------
Unzip the skin in a temporany folder.
Drop the "3^Stormo" folder in your P-38L installation
 
Please see the readme for others details and stuffs.
