1. A6M2-N "Rufe" Floatplane Fighter

   By Wrench

   A6M-2N "Rufe" WW2 IJN Floatplane fighter
    
   For SF/Wo* or SF2 --
    
   Please note, this aircraft is not fully SF2 compliant! The package, with the exception of the included destroyed model, and SF2-ized 'weapon' (ie: the floats) will need to be converted by YOU -the End User- for SF2 compatibility. The data ini has the added lines for the included destroyed model. It shouldn't change anything for SF/Wo*, except it not showing up after you shoot it down.
    
   It also is in DIRE need of a corrected/Updated 08 and/or SF2 level Flight Model. This mod is released "as is" (meaning as it was in 08). Adjustments/tweeks are encouraged!
    
   The readme included, is in it's original 2008 state. Seperate instructions are included for adding the destroyed model, for SF2 usage
    
   *Note: it will NOT take off or land on water (the game has never supported this), but from land bases. For some reason, the "invisible airfield" as used on several WW2 terrains is NOT working in SF2. BE ADVISED!!*
    
   -----------------
   This is a modification to ArmourDave's A6M2 "Zero" fighter, converting it into the float-plane version as built by Nakajima for the Imperial Japanese Navy. Historically, probably the most successful floatplane fighter ever produced.
    
   There are 2 complete versions of the Rufe included in this package:
    
   1) A6M2-N_Early: this has the light gray skin as used in mid-to-late 1942. This aircraft contains 2 new skins (created from a new template, based off the original skins as seen on some other Zero mods of mine); 11 Kokutai, based aboard the seplane tender 'Kamikawa Maru' in the northern Solomons circa July-August 1942, and 14 Kokutai, also based in the Solomons area. circa 1942 (actually the Shortland Islands, but who's counting?)
    
   2) A6M2-N: this aircraft has the later (ie: early 1943 on) green overall camo. This aircraft ALSO contains 2 new skins (as above); 802 Kokutai based at Jaluit, Marshall Islands circa August 1943; and 902 Kokutai as seen in November, 1943 based at Truk.
    
   Happy Landings!

   SF2 PTO - Zero and Rufe Pak

   By Wrench

   SF2 Zero and Rufe Pak
    
   -- Something for the PTO players --
   = For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) =
    
   *There is a distinct 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 Compliation Pakcage of all the Mods/Reskins/etc for ArmorDave's A6M "Zero".
   Included in this pack are:
    
   A6M2 Type 21
   A6M2 "Sen Baku" by Christian59
   A6M5 Type 52a
   A6M5C Type 52c
   A6M7 Type 63
   A6M2-N Rufe floatplane (both the early and late model sets - 'plane white-ish', and Camo green).
    
   All have a (semi) compliant SF2 FM - however, as always, further tweeking may be necessary by experts. Personally, I think they're just a hair 'too good', but they fly very nicely.
   Data ini edits add the SF2NA style 'carrier based statements', so they can/will fly from IJN carriers on terrains that have the proper naval map statements and _water.bmp. And if you posess operational IJN CVs (there's a WW2 ship pak in the works)
    
   Pilot figures (including the fakepilot & pylons), weapons, sounds and a gun are included. Decal radomization is TRUE for all, and all skin maps are jpgs. New, SF2 versions of the 'box art' hangars and loading screens are included.
    
   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, where discoverable, are included within their individual aircraft & skin folders.
   Due to the age of these models, and the lack of access to the MAX files, any and all physical errors canNOT be fixed. They are 'as they are'.
    
   Happy Hunting!
