SF2 DB-7A & B Boston I/II (CA) ETO-MTO Package (Beta Plus) 8/23/2026
-For SF2 =ONLY= (Full/5 Merged Recommended)
Coyote Aerospace and Angelp are proud to release 2 NEW World War 2 aircraft! This package contains the Douglas DB-7A & DB-7B as used by the French Armée de l'air, and later by Vichy forces, and the British Royal Air Force after the Fall of France.
I'm releasing this combined aircraft/skin pack, for the varying theatres, so you End Users (tm) will =HAVE= to pick and choose and do the moving yourselves to place them in the correct Theatre of Operations (ETO and/or MTO) Mod Folder. There are NO skin sets herein used in the Pacific.
The package includes the following skins:
= DB-7A, Armée de l'air :
2 Escadrille, GB 1/19 (1939)
1 Escadrille, GB 1/32 (<6/40, Vichy, French Morocco)
= DB-7B, RAF:
No. 88 Squadron "Hong Kong" (6/40)
No. 107 Squadron (12/41)
(note these 2 units flew a mixture of Boston models)
The actual dates are noted as shown above. The SF2 Date Switch (tm) is active, and the skins will switch (hopefully!) according to the dates shown above. Always check the included User list ini for exact dates. There are also usually historical notes on each of the texture set inis.
All skin maps are in JPG format. All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. As these are 'new' rebuilds, these aircraft replace IN TOTAL those no longer readily available from 'the other place', all decals from those mods of mine have been reused and refreshed for SF2 usage. As such, where available, the original read me for each is included with the relevant skin folders along with a screenshot of the original bird. Serial numbers are historically correct for all skins; however, they are to be considered 'generic', not representing specific aircraft in each squadron.
The pilot's entrance hatch opens with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0 (zero).
Everything is included: WW2 (nation specific) bombs, French MGs, pilot figures and so forth. You'll also be adding a 'new' sound, so have your SoundList ini extracted, or be ready to extract it and add the new sound's data. Full instructions are in below, in the "To Install" section. It should be noted, this same engine sound will be used on ALL versions of the Boston/Havoc that are still in the hangar.
I've also included, for that that don't have it, the Nations entries for VichyFrance. Or you can (read--SHOULD) download the WW2 nations ini from the following URL:
https://combatace.com/files/file/13095-ww2-nations-formations-inis/
I should have mentioned that before, on the other recent WW2 releases. Well, you can fix it now!
Once in game, on the Aircraft Selection Drop Down Screen you'll see:
DB-7A/Boston Mk.I (CA)
DB-7B/Boston Mk.II/III (CA)
The 'CA' of course, is for Coyote Aerospace.
As is always recommended, unzip to a temp folder or your desktop to give easy access to the rest of this readme for it's install instructions. PLEASE read them, before installing!!!
Please read the Notes section for any other useless bits of information, the change log,
Please also take note of changes in the Standard Disclaimer in the "Legal BS" section at the bottom.
Happy Landings!
