Ki-43IIb Hayabusa "Oscar" For SF/WoV/WoE WW2: PTO installs
 
This is a modification of Wolf257's Ki-43 into the later version, the IIb as used by the IJAAF.
 
This is a semi- complete aircraft mod, creating a new version for use in your World War 2: PTO installs ONLY!!
 
I say 'semi-complete', because pursuant to Wolf's wishes, the aircraft LOD file is NOT included (you'll have to transfer it over from the exisiting Ki-43 --make sure it's Wolf's Ki-43, NOT ArmourDaves!!. Almost everything else is included; all the inis, an new skin, hangar screen and my damage tgas as well. The cockpit itself is NOT included, as you'll be using the one from AD's A6M5 Zero.
 
The skin represents 204 Sentai, in the Home Defense role circa 1944-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!), simulated fabric control surfaces and dirtied it up some. As this is a natural metal skin, it has no worn-off green camo. Individual aircraft numbers are 'best guess' based on a few profiles. Therefore, no accuracy is claimed for those as well.
 
PLEASE read the enclosed readme for fully detailed, step-by-step install instructions, plus commentaries and general explanitory notes.
 
Enjoy!

Superfortress Pack v1.5
 
=========================================================================================
 
INSTALLATION :
 
1. Drop the folders called "B-29B" and "Washington B.1"into your "Aircraft" directory.
( Strike Fighters/ Objects/Aircraft or Wings Over Vietnam/Objects/Aircraft )
 
2. Open the "Add To Sounds" folder and drop the two .wav files into your Sounds Folder.
 
3. You should have the most current weapons pack installed, as well as the latest patch.
( Strike Fighters SP3.1 standard, or WOV Patch 2 standard )
 
 
========================================================================================
 
NOTES:
 
A. MontyCZ's original release of the B-29 was as an AI Only aircraft. There are reasons for this
in that SFP1 currently doesn't support heavy bombers targeting systems. However, sim pilots
( being what they are ) will want to take these birds for a spin. To this end, the config.ini
has been modified to use an A-4B cockpit, so these birds are flyable. The data.inis have been
modified so that the Copilot is not visible ( preventing the disconcerting image of the
copilot hanging out in space while you're flying ).
 
B. There are a number of minor errors: the Washington B.1's upper forward turret should have 4 .50s
visible instead of two barrels visible on the model. The extras guns are there in the data.ini.
The tail gun position on the B-29B should have the 20mm barrel showing ( it's in the data.ini ).
You have the extra guns, they just don't show.
 
========================================================================================
 
ISSUES:
 
1. Monty's original release was AI only. I have adjusted the planes so that the A-4B cockpit can be used.
Currently, there is both a B-29 cockpit & a working bombsight mod in the works. Until such time as they
are released, consider the A-4B pit as a placeholder. You will need to enable the copilot to be seen in
the data.inis when you upgrade to a new cockpit.
2. On some terrains, the friendly airfields will not be long enough in order for the B-29s to take off. I
have changed the minimum base size from LARGE to MEDIUM in order for the B-29s to be compatable with more
terrains. This can be adjusted in the data.ini by changing this line :
 
MinBaseSize=MEDIUM
 
You can change the base size by replacing MEDIUM with either LARGE, or SMALL.
 
=======================================================================================
 
CREDITS :
 
1. Many Thanks to MontyCZ for kindly allowing me to release these mods of his B-29.
2. Hangarscreens by "The Wrench".
3. PropLoop4 is based on Pinch's PropLoop3, with the speed slowed & reversed to provide a "deeper" engine .wav.
 
 
Enjoy!

The Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet was the only operational rocket fighter aircraft. It required a lengthy development process and entered the war in a very limited fashion only in 1944.

The AT-6D Texan is now available for download. This model was used by the Mosquito FACs early during the Korean War.
 
I don't have many references for this aircraft so I only included a generic skin. Templates are available for download if you wish to give it better markings.
